Charles waved his hand, not pursuing the matter, and said, "There are things I need you to do. Write a letter and call Percy over."

Now, down to business.

236

Chapter 236 It’s time to start a massacre!

"Lord Charles, the letter has been sent, but it will probably take Percy two to three days to arrive..."

Tara, who had rushed out to mail a letter, returned to Charles.

She was not surprised at all why Lord Charles knew the name Percy and the relationship between her and Percy, even though she had never said it.

No matter what the Mother Goddess does, it is normal, and Tara has long been able to look at it calmly.

However, Tara's words did not receive a response from Charles.

"Lord Ciel?"

Aotara's perspective moved away from Charles' toes, slowly moved upwards, and looked at Charles' face.

At this time, Charles was sitting in his seat, looking at the notebook in front of him without moving. Even because Lord Charles deliberately concealed his own breath, Tara always felt that the person sitting in front of her was just a sculpture.

Could it be that the Mother Goddess's consciousness has returned to the Kingdom of God?

"Lord Ciel? Can you hear me?"

Tara spoke slowly, and only after confirming that Charles really had no response did she slowly stretch out her left hand and gently waved it in front of Charles' eyes.

"Uh... huh? What's wrong? Tara."

At this moment, Charles seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Tara.

In her sight, Tara's mouth kept opening and closing, but Charles could not hear any movement.

Ciel was not deaf.

At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in her head. It was a harsh sound like the friction between steels, and it could even cause a large number of sparks to appear in front of Charles' vision due to friction.

These unreal and layered sounds were extremely similar to the sounds made by the platinum-armored creature from another world that Charles had heard. They gradually grew from being insignificant at the beginning to being deafening now.

Moreover, this sound was getting louder and louder in Charles's mind, causing her eardrums to throb with pain, as if they would burst at any time due to blood congestion.

This was not the first time that Charles had encountered this situation. He had had similar feelings before when he entered the other world, but the type of mumbling was different.

This had never happened before when communicating with the Dark Bugs. Why did such a serious side effect occur after communicating with that armor...

She must solve this problem, otherwise her mental state will continue to deteriorate...

Charles waved his hand, signaling Tara to stop talking for the time being.

At this time, Charles directly opened the system interface and looked at the system screen in front of him.

【simulation】

【Character Archive】

【Skill】

【storehouse】

【Points Shop】

Charles opened the points mall and took a look. There were a lot of new things to learn in the basic subjects, but none of them could solve Charles's current situation.

She directly exited the points mall and opened the skills interface.

All the skills Ciel had previously acquired were arranged in front of her.

There is also a golden "+" symbol next to the skill list.

This is a skill upgrade option. Because the points were very valuable before, Charles basically did not use the destiny points to upgrade skills.

Upgrading a Lv.1 skill to Lv.2 requires 10 fate points, which is too expensive for the initial Ciel and may even cause her to get stuck. But for the current Ciel, 10 fate points are nothing.

Ciel shifted his gaze and looked at Lv.4's calm thinking.

Lv.1升级到Lv.2需要10点,Lv.2升级到Lv.3需要50点,Lv.3升级到Lv.4需要100点。

And upgrading from Lv.4 to Lv.5 actually requires a staggering 500 Fate Points...

When the system sells things, you generally get what you pay for. It requires a full 500 points to prove that there will definitely be a huge improvement if you upgrade... but that's too expensive.

Originally, Ciel just wanted to upgrade [Calm Thinking] to see if she could resist the whispering in her head by increasing her mental strength, but now, she had to consider whether there were any other alternative options.

She only had 581 destiny points left, so she had to ensure she had at least 100 to deal with emergencies or conduct simulations. If she was left with only 81, it would be a bit dangerous for Ciel.

But at this moment, Charles discovered that Tara's hand, which was flashing with white flames, was once again blocking his eyes, and she pressed the white flames directly in front of his eyes.

Charles only felt a flash of white light before her eyes. When she came to her senses, the scene in front of her seemed to be covered by a hazy white gauze, and the mumbling in her mind instantly subsided.

This is……

Ciel was very familiar with this ability because she had experienced it once a long time ago.

Previously in the city of Burren, in the simulation, Xiu encountered Charles, who became mentally unstable after viewing the pages of the other world for the first time, and used this ability on Charles.

The extraordinary people on the "Acetic" path can not only help share the physical pain, but also share the mental mumbling.

Charles felt a sudden sense of relief in his ears, and he could hear the sounds from the outside world.

She turned to look at Tara, who was looking painful, and met her eyes.

At this moment, Tara, after seeing Charles's gaze, took a breath and said:

"Lord Ciel... the body you're using now... is extremely weak both mentally and physically. It can't sustain your strength and the pressure you'll endure on your journey to the Kingdom of God... Tara can help you share some of the burden..."

"Tara..."

Charles spoke, and after a long moment, he sighed softly.

She felt a little guilty for her previous distrust of Tara...Except for some small actions occasionally, Tara really thought about herself wholeheartedly, and she shouldn't pick on Tara for those trivial details.

"Are you okay? Don't force it."

Charles stood up, looked down at Tara in front of him, and asked softly.

It seemed like this was the first time Tara had heard Charles speak to her in such a gentle tone. She was stunned for a moment, then she puffed out her barren chest and said in a sonorous voice: "This is just a small trial. It has no effect on me, Lord Charles!"

Although Tara said this, Charles could see that she was a little unsteady when walking.

After all, Tara before, in the simulation, couldn't hold on for long when facing the node of the other world when she went underground. Her mental strength was definitely weaker than his own.

I feel very relieved now that my mumbling has been reduced, but for Tara, she seems to have to try her best to resist this mumbling.

Now Charles understood why the Saints of the Church of the God of Order's mental states deteriorated rapidly after entering the node of the other world... There was definitely something wrong with that platinum armor.

It could be a being of a higher rank than the Dark Worm, or a being of the same rank as the Dark Worm but more polluted—its appearance, or even its voice, would bring horrific pollution to creatures in the other world.

Maybe it would casually curse in the castle, "Here comes more garbage", and the saints or saints who went in to explore would immediately collapse and go crazy.

Fortunately, it has no hostility towards humans... at least towards Charles.

This can't go on.

In order to ensure that he could use the other world to block Qiang Yin, Charles had to make sure that he was mentally strong enough, at least to be able to support another communication with the armor.

"Lord Ciel...your eyes?"

Tara, who had been looking at the gentle Charles, seemed to suddenly notice something and spoke subconsciously.

"what happened?"

Charles came out of his thoughts and focused his eyes on Tara's face, asking.

"Just now it seems... maybe Tara saw it wrong,"

Tara hesitated and said, "I seemed to see a vague silver object flash in the depths of your pupils..."

A fuzzy...silver thing?

Hearing the word silver, Ciel locked onto his pocket watch almost instantly.

What's happening here?

"Wait a mininute."

Ciel looked at the full-length mirror not far behind Tara, but after a moment's thought, he immediately activated the upgraded [Precognitive Vision].

In Charles's mind, the scenes within a radius of fifteen meters were completely reproduced in her mind, and she could even switch perspectives at will and look at different places.

She cut the perspective to her own eyes, almost infinitely magnifying the position of her pupils.

really……

A familiar, vague watch face appeared on it.

This is……

"System, what is this?"

Charles asked the system directly in his mind.

The most direct way to deal with matters related to the pocket watch is to ask the system directly. If Charles relies solely on himself, it will take a lot of time to find the answer.

【This is the eye^^】

Charles ignored it and asked again, but when he saw the expression on the system, Charles felt a little relieved.

If the system sends this expression, it means that the matter is not serious and it is still within the level where the system can play a joke on you.

[This is because the host's spirit can no longer lock the knowledge and power of "uniqueness" in your mind... If the host continues to do as he pleases and ravages his own spirit, then you will soon be devoured by knowledge...]

[Oh~ Let's change this system to a more understandable metaphor]

[Your mental strength has been weakened, and the "magic potion" is about to backfire^^_]

[This is just a small sign of backlash and assimilation... Of course, if the host can make good use of it, this could be a good thing^^_^^^_ Isn't it better to have more eyes?]

Backlash...Assimilation...

If one's spirit is weakened by the whispers, will the knowledge locked in one's mind be "leaked"?

It is that knowledge that has brought pollution to oneself...

But what about knowledge?

Ciel carefully recalled his memories from the end of the simulation until now, but he did not find any "leaked" knowledge.

[Don't think about it, host, these systems have blocked it for you, no need to thank me^^]

Is the system blocking it?

“Will there be any further impact?”

Charles asked herself again in her heart. She needed to know whether these things would have any further impact on her.

[No, unless the host's mental state continues to deteriorate]

It seems that the most urgent thing is to solve the problem of insufficient mental strength...

Although his mental power is not low compared to that of ordinary level 2 or even level 3 transcendents, those level 2 and level 3 transcendents do not have to deal with the other world, a major source of pollution, every few days like himself.

You must earn more destiny points, manually upgrade [Calm Thinking] to Lv.5, and reserve at least 110 destiny points for yourself.

Now I have to find a way to temporarily alleviate my mental pollution problem...

Still looking for Avina?

Charles hesitated for a moment.

It has not been two days since Avina helped him to relieve his mental stress. If he goes to Avina again now, although Avina will not refuse, her own mental strength will definitely not be able to withstand such frequent pollution, and Avina is likely to be attacked by the potion.

Suddenly, Ciel thought of the Pope of the Church of the God of Order and her plan to create an artificial godhood.

Her plan for an artificial godhood...seems to allow multiple people to share the burden of spiritual pollution...

No, it's still a bit too dangerous.

Charles recalled the scene Tara had described to him in the simulation... It seemed that the Pope's body was only left with a terrifying brain. This form was not what Charles expected.

He didn't know any high-level "Listener" masters... Even if there were, Charles couldn't trust them as much as he trusted Avina.

He is a spiritual extraordinary person... If the other party harms him, "uniqueness" will help to retaliate against the other party.

But if the other party simply leaves a "back door" in his memory that he can activate at any time while healing him, the consequences will be something Charles cannot bear.
