"Can you tell me? Where is this place?"

——Spiritual suggestion.

Chapter 038 Salem

A mysterious arcane rune flashed in his eyes, and the form most suitable for arcane energy allowed the true meaning of this arcane to be brought into full play.

This is beyond the scope of "suggestion", a power that can distort the mind.

This is far beyond the hint he cast with the hand of the egret. Even the most devout fanatic will "be a man again" under this distortion, and the will is meaningless under this kind of power.

"Eh……"

Staring blankly at Baige, the blond girl didn't expect this kind of answer at all—this person's speech skills are really not very good... No, he looks as if he has given up on talking, and instead directly uses The tone of command makes others follow his words.

This feeling...how to say...

"This gentleman..."

The girl calmed down her delicate state of mind, her eyes drifted away, and finally she chose to reveal a little bit of the situation.

"This is Salem."

Her gaze met Baige who raised his eyebrows slightly, and the latter was looking at her intently at the moment, as if he had seen some rare animal.

—What a queer one.

*

The power to manipulate the mind is powerful and convenient—just imagine, if someone can manipulate the mind and soul of others at will, then all the "inhumane" and "boring" will be empty talk.

This is a power that truly subverts "society" - one of your thoughts can change the thoughts of others, and the whole society is like your private property, you can get what you want... Over time, it will really Is anyone willing to waste time communicating with some "puppet" who is under their control at any time?

--Won't.

Bailu sticks to things that are useless in Baige's view. Although Baige has no intention of changing his will, it is absolutely impossible for Baige to put any "shackles" on himself like Baige.

In the final analysis, it is a sentence - why waste time for things that can be solved in an instant?

As a solid supporter of "mind suggestion", "mind manipulation", "mind distortion", "mind correction" and other practical arcane arts, Baige continued his style of doing things as always.

But this time, he obviously "rolled over".

Baige sat beside the girl.Seeing that the girl is well developed vertically and has a height of 12cm at the age of 152, it is necessary for him to pick up the conversations he thinks are "meaningless" and get information from this immature girl.

"It's been a long time since anyone from outside came in to Salem. Everyone thought that people from outside had forgotten about Salem, but I didn't expect that Mr. O'Dim would come here..."

"Is it strange?"

"It should be very strange, right? I heard that the outside world is very pursuing wealth, and everyone is fighting for money. No one would want to visit a worthless town like Salem, right?"

This sentence is true—Salem has neither local advantageous location factors nor national policy support, and the local economic development can be described as quite slow.

"But there should still be merchant ships willing to come here. You also said that - Salem lacks supplies, and most of the daily necessities are imported by merchant ships."

"Besides, there is quite a difference in the price. Based on the current situation in Salem, you should pay several times the original price of the items in exchange for daily necessities from the outside world, right? This profit is enough for those merchants to pull up a team Merchant ships come and go regularly."

"Mr. O'Dim is very clever."

The blond girl sitting on the mound propped her cheeks and looked at the shore.

"There are often merchant ships that come to Salem, and they usually only sell things and don't buy things... But even so, they bring a lot of new things to Salem, which is very good."

The girl who was being baited was not conscious at all, she just glanced at Baige who was sitting with her a little uneasy, Baige's timely remedy saved him a little bit of image, and also made the girl willing to sit down and chat with him.

Among them, Baige's identity as an "outsider" should play the most important role.

"Let's change the subject. Mr. O'Dim is from outside, right? But Salem doesn't seem to have any merchant ships recently... How did Mr. O'Dim come to Salem?"

"Someone brought me here. The method and process may be a bit unexpected, but in general it is still an interesting experience."

In a very flat tone, he narrated the topic that the girl was very interested in, and Bai Ge still had a calm face.

"As for the purpose... I'm here to find something, maybe it's in the shape of a rare treasure, in short, it's not an easy job to complete. So, I have another idea now, that is, I want to learn more about it Get to know Salem."

"That's great...but what about Mr. O'Dim's friend?"

"He's gone for now."

"Um... are you leaving Mr. O'Dim alone in Salem?"

The girl's enthusiasm remained undiminished, but Baige was ready to temporarily label this topic as an end.

"Indeed, but this is not a problem. After all, I have been to many places, and Salem is not bad..."

"Have you been to... many places?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Can you talk to me?"

"Are you interested in these things?"

"Well... people in Salem don't want to talk to me about outside things, so..."

The girl lowered her head with a sense of frustration. For a curious child, restricting them with the words "good boy" and "bad boy" is tantamount to strangling their freedom.

Listen to the words of the elders, do not do anything that violates the Puritan rules, and pray carefully... It is because of these things that the girl is called a "good boy".

When Baige turned his head, his eyes also turned.The girl's state at the moment reflected in his mind, and after a little thought, he had a solution in his mind.

"These things may be troublesome to explain in detail, and it will take a long time..."

"It's getting late now, you said you had to go home?"

"Eh!"

These words made the girl's eyes widen, and she raised her head in a panic. She has honed in her previous life the "feeling" of measuring the time by observing the sun's position. Although it is not accurate, she can still guess it. roughly.

"damn……"

The voice suddenly dropped, and the girl hurriedly stood up.

"That... my name is Abigail Williams, and I have to go back now."

"Goodbye, Mr. O'Dim."

Watching Abigail leave, Bai Ge was not touched much.

A total of four high-dimensional force intervention attempts failed.

Preliminary judgment - this young female individual carries a lot of high-dimensional information.

Chapter 039: Heart

As the sky darkened, this "lonely" town fell into dead silence without a sound.

crunch--

"Oh, at a time like this..."

The tavern clerk glanced at the half-open wooden door, and his tone was a little surprised—the people of Salem are thrifty, and most of the local residents are devout Puritans, so they rarely come to places like taverns.

Therefore, the source of the tavern's income is actually the sailors on the merchant ships. These guys who have been at sea for a long time are not stingy with exchanging money for their own happiness, even if it is only for a moment.

But now...the merchant ships haven't come to Salem, have they?

"Welcome, guest..."

A "young man" walked into the empty tavern, his calm eyes swept across the interior of the tavern, and finally fixed on the guy.

This is a very ordinary tavern, nothing special.As for why it became the "unclean place" in Abigail's mouth, it must be related to the thing "wine", right?

After all, Abigail was a "good boy."

"Are you going to order some wine, we have..."

Raising his hand, Baige interrupted what the man was going to say next.

"Next, I ask, you answer."

The tavern clerk looked at him in astonishment, but the moment his eyes met Baige's pupils, he lost himself - he saw a pair of beautiful eyes, deep and mysterious, as if hiding a starry sky.

The subtle arcane runes at the nanometer level slowly rotated, and the connected arcane runes formed an invisible hidden mark, which appeared in the buddy's eyes.

"Yes……"

——This is normal development.

Baige narrowed his eyes slowly. Manipulating a buddy wouldn't bring him much sense of accomplishment, but it could bring him a lot of useful information.

"Is it really a special case..."

His gaze passed through the barrier of space, and the figure of the girl "marked" by him entered his "sight".

"She's the key point..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed the series of strange behaviors of the "good boy", and Baige raised his eyes slightly.

"...that's not what the Puritans believed."

*

"Have you brought the ash branches?"

Baige stood behind the tree, and he rushed to the scene immediately after learning that Abigail was leading several girls to hide in the dense forest for an unknown "ceremony".

Watching the young girl speak to the crowd with the appearance of a leader, she took out an ash branch and pointed it at the ground as if to demonstrate.

However, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that this is an ordinary branch without any mysterious power.

—A play house game for girls?

No, Baige doesn’t think that a believer will use his beliefs to play tricks—he still has the ability to see people, and the experience of avatars and incarnations is no different from his own experience. In the hundreds of years, he actually has Thousands of years of experience, experience has brought him many useful things.

Plus, Abigail didn't look like she was joking.

"This is the staff!"

Abigail raised the ash branch in her hand, it was hard to imagine that this girl who had always spoken in a low voice could have such a serious side.

"Knock the earth three times with it, and you're knocking on the invisible door, which leads to the outside world!"

"In this case... the Holy Spirit will appear in front of us and give us the apocalypse!"

But... just like a cult leader.

After turning around a few ordinary girls, he returned to Abigail—these girls are just insignificant "supporting roles" just like the tavern buddies whose will was twisted by him.

The truly special one is Abigail.

But to be honest, he doesn't quite understand what Abigail is doing now—her self-proclaimed Puritan status can definitely be ruled out, and no Puritan would call a few young girls to the jungle for "prayer" in the middle of the night .

Whether in Salem or in the outside world, the place where the Puritans should stay can be at home or in a church, but it will never be in the dense forest-I have never heard of any special rituals of the Puritans who must use the dense forest, the only explanation is that she His beliefs are not Protestant at all.

Only when her beliefs conflict with those of her "religion members" or even with her family members, will she choose to hide in a place like the dense forest to "pray" - the only function of the dense forest is to hide people's eyes and ears, preventing people from understanding her What did it do.

Bai Ge waited and watched the behavior of the cult leader for a while, but he found that the girl's gaze had changed—she was staring intently at this place, where he hid his figure.

"Eh……"

With an unexpectedly cute nasal sound, Abigail couldn't turn her head. She looked at "Mr. O'Dim" standing behind the tree. He didn't hide himself too much, and most of his body was outside the tree. , rather than standing behind the tree, it is better to say standing beside the tree.

"..."

At this moment, Abigail, who was holding the ash branch, neither spoke nor avoided.Although "Mr. O'Dim" was a very casual friend she had only known for a few hours, he could nonetheless be counted as an acquaintance...

——This was the last scenario she wanted to face.

Her wandering eyes inadvertently passed over the girls who were concentrating on her. She was clever enough to realize that only she had discovered the existence of Baige, and the other girls hadn't noticed the "Odie" who was "listening" so "fairly". Mister Mu".

Taking a closer look, Abigail, who has sharp eyes and a keen heart, found a few falling leaves that slowly penetrated Baige's body and fell to the ground.

This sensible girl seemed to understand something.

"Abby? What's wrong?"

"Why don't you go on, Abby?"

"Didn't it mean that if the ceremony is interrupted halfway, it will have no effect?"

……

Abigail naturally knew the reason why she stopped the ceremony, but the problem was that these girls didn't understand—they were just one of many ordinary people, and unlike Abigail who had special talents, they simply observed There is no Baige who deliberately hides his own existence.
