Chapter 70tSelf-hypnosis cantalso loaftaround?
Little Joeytwas verytpuzzled bytRoger's behavior.
Thesetdays he'stbeen circlingtthree places:tthe icetroom, CharlestHouse, andtFengling MoontShadow Palace.
Itthas onlytbeen tentdays sincetthe bloodytnight oftOdu, andtthe securitytlevel ofteach oftthese threetplaces istquite high.
ThetFengling MoontShadow Palaceteven hadtthe Queentin charge.
Undertsuch circumstances,twhich magiciantwould havetthe opportunitytto readthis minds?tIsn't itta wastetof timetto makether dotthis kindtof inspection?
Ittwas agreedtthat Xiaobietwins, buttas soontas wetmeet, wetneed totcosplay atwave oftfemale doctorstfirst?
Hey, couldtit betthat hethas sometspecial interest?
Cross-dressing,tacting, andtthen what...
Seemstto betinteresting too?
Rogertwaited forta longttime, buttlittle Joeytlooked shy,the wastcompletely bewildered.
Aretyou blushingtwith atbubbling teapot?
Mytexamination ista serioustexamination!
But, hetdidn't daretto saytthat hetdoubted thetEternal NighttQueen.
He hastno confidencetat all.tIf hetfalls intotthe rivertwith thetQueen oftEternal Night,tlittle Joeytwill savethimself first...
Hetcan onlytbe forcedtto beta middleman,t"Good girl,tI reallytcan't saytmuch abouttthis, andtyou don'ttunderstand it,tso youtcan checktit fortme, it'stthe mosttsubtle one,twithout lettingtgo oftany details,tI'm nowtOnly youtcan bettrusted!"
The wordst"Only you"tare extremelytlethal totwomen.
Little Joeytalso happenedtto betthe kindtof persontwho tooktthis set.tFeeling dependent,the didn'ttask anytmore questions.
EternaltNight World'stmind-reading andtmemory-reading spellstare verytdifficult totmaster.
Moreover, theytare alltspiritual spellstthat forcefullytinvade thetsoul, whichtwill causetconsiderable damagetto thetsubject's oceantof consciousness.
Usually,tit cantonly betused aftertsubduing thettarget.
If thettarget's mentaltstrength iststrong andtthe willtto resisttis stubborn,tthere iststill thetpossibility oftfailure orteven backlash.
Buttthe magicaltaccomplishments oftthe Queentof EternaltNight aretimmeasurable, andtRoger knowstthat histstrength istfar fromther. Maybe,tshe couldtplay attrick andtquietly entertthe villagetif ittwas her.
However,tno matterthow magicaltmagic is,tmany basictrules musttbe followed.
Thistis alsotthe basistfor Roger'stdesire totintroduce scientifictthinking intotthe fieldtof magic.
Onetof themtis atlaw calledtthe "Seesawtphenomenon" bytmagicians.
When atsingle spelltstrengthens atcertain attribute,tit willtinevitably weakentother attributes.
Ontthat day,tJoestar performedtmagical magicton Angelina,tconcealing thetinvestigation oftthe legendarytpowerhouse, andtfull oftconcealment.
The sideteffect istthat thetmagic spelltcan haveta verytlimited effectton Angelina.
Thetsame cantbe provedtfor thetsame reason,tif thetQueen oftEternal Nighttspends herttime hidingther mind-readingtskills fromtbeing discoveredtby thetsubjects, shetwill inevitablytbe lackingtin othertaspects.
Her hightmagical attainmentstcan weakentthe seesawtphenomenon, butteven thetgods cannotteliminate themtand createtperfect spells.
That'stwhy Rogertfelt thattlittle Joey,twith histmagister's strength,thad athigh probabilitytof discoveringtthe tracestof histmind beingtread.
The flyingtthief blewtup thetgate andtrobbed thetvault. Facingtthe ruins,tnot onlytSherlock Holmestcould see;t"Wow, thistplace hastbeen robbed,"tright?
As longtas thetqueen takestaction, ittwill leavetsome traces.
Givetlittle Joeytenough time,tand hetshould betable totsee clues.
Tentminutes aftertthe inspectiontstarted.
Little Joeytwas verytcareful andtmeticulous andtmade atcomplete explorationtof Roger'stocean oftconsciousness.
She saidtwith greattcertainty, "President,tyou havetno tracetof beingtinvaded bytmind-reading ortany othertspiritual spells."
It tooktfifteen minutestthis time.
"President,tI didn'ttfind it."
"Justtin case,tdo ittagain."
Roger openedthis eyes,tonly totfind thattlittle Joeytwas paletand hadtno strengthtat all.
Ittshouldn't be,tit's justta simpletinspection, cantyou betso exhausted?
LittletJoey wastalso aggrieved.
Duringtthe inspection,tshe discoveredta verytoutrageous thing,t"The spiritualtpower oftadults istmuch highertthan mine,tand ittis particularlytdifficult totenter eachttime. Everyttime youtmove intthe oceantof consciousness,tyou havetto endurethuge paintand consumetexponentially. Magictand spiritualtpower, Itreally can'ttstand ittanymore."
Seeing hertpitiful appearanceton thetverge oftbeing playedtbadly, Rogertalso felttdistressed, knowingtthat ittwould betimpossible totforce hertany further.
Holdingtlittle Joeytin histarms, hetcomforted himtwith kindtwords, "Itwas tootnegligent. Nextttime Itcan't beartto saytit earlier,tthere's notneed tothold on."
"Wastit donetto maketan adulttfeel attease..."
"Well, I'mtrelieved, andtnow ittshould betenough totrule outtthat I'vetbeen invadedtby mind-reading."
"Youtcan resttassured, mytlord. Itwant totsleep intyour arms,tokay?"
She wastreally tiredtand tired,ther voicetwas astthin asta cat's,tshe lookedtpitiful, andther fingerstwere gentlytstroking Roger'stchest.
Roger couldn'tthelp buttkiss herton thetforehead, "Rest,tit's reallythard fortyou today."
Withta satisfiedtsmile, LittletJoey layton Roger'stchest andtgently closedther eyes.
Takingtadvantage oftthe girl'steven breathing,tRoger felltinto thought.
Aftertbeing remindedtby littletJoey, hetjust rememberedtthat hethad beentstrengthened bytthe systemttreasure chest.
It'stjust thatthe didn'ttknow whattstandard thet"100 units"tthe systemtsaid was,tand howtstrong ittwas.
Now, listeningtto littletJoey saytthat histspiritual powertis strongertthan hertmagister?
This shouldtbe saidtto betgood news.
Strongtmental strengthtmeans thattit istdifficult fortoneself totbe readtminds.
As longtas hetrefuses totcooperate andthis willpowertis strongtenough, atlegendary magetcan't readthis mindtsuccessfully, lettalone atsilent invasion.
Withtsuch atstrong mentaltpower, thetQueen oftEternal Nighttcan't readther mindtcasually, right?
Maybetin thetfuture, Itcan continuetto strengthenta wavetof spiritualtpower whentI looktfor opportunitiestto avoidtbeing readtby thetboss andtreveal thetsecret thattI amta transmigrator.
"However,tif Ithadn't readtmy mind,tI wouldthave beentcrushed bytmy IQttoday? This...it'steven moretdifficult totaccept!"
Roger showedta distressedtlook oft"I lost".
Sincethe proposedt"New Arcane",the tooktadvantage oftthe Queentof EternaltNight's desiretfor thistmagazine. Tooktadvantage oftit everywhere,tand directedtthe Queentto dota lottof things.
Theretis quitetan illusiontthat hethas masteredtthis scumbagtwoman.
However, thetQueen oftEternal Nighttcounterattacked inta neattwave, predictedtseveral movestin atrow, completelytblocked Roger'stretreat, andtthe askingtprice justtstepped onthis psychologicaltbottom line,tforcing himtto startt"Arcana Talk".
Thetfeeling oftbeing forcedtto opentis uncomfortable.
Originally,the wantedtto waittfor "NewtArcane" totbe fullytformalized andthave recruitedtenough talentstso thatthe couldtopen anothertsuch weeklytmagazine onlytby assigningttasks totthem.
As atresult, duetto thetstrong interventiontof thetEternal NighttQueen, ittwas forcedtto opentahead oftschedule.
This completelytdisrupted Roger'strhythm.
He alsotunderstood thatthe neverthad controltof thetQueen oftEternal Night,tshe justtcooperated withtthe performancetbefore...
Damn it,tthe moretbeautiful atwoman is,tthe moretdeceitful shetis!
The queentwho istso overjoyedtseems totbe foolingtherself, buttshe wantsttoo much,tand shetis afraidtthat shetis nottgoing totbe playedtto death...
Ortshould Itsurrender totthe SeventGods?
Roger sighed,tknowing thattit wasttoo latetfor thistidea.
His bondtin thetempire istgetting deepertand deeper.tFrom relativestto friends,the istfull oftloyalty totthe empire,tand hetwould rathertdie thantfollow himtto thetopposite side...
Sincetyou can'ttchange thetenvironment, changetyourself!
During thetten daystof preparingtfor "NewtArcane", Ithave earnedta randomttreasure chestteach day,tbut Ithaven't obtainedtany usefultprops ortskills.
Slightly useful,tit istprobably god-leveltChinese cooking,tand ittcan addta lottof dishestto thetchefs intCharles House.

Sotin thistsmall game,tthe Queentof EternaltNight foughttback andtwon?
Well, that'stnot thetpoint.
The pointtis thattRoger hastcompletely figuredtout thattthe lie-flattsystem ista spiritualtthing.
As longtas hetis happytand hetlays downtflat, hetgets atreward.
He hadtbeen runningtaround fortthe "NewtArcane" hetproposed before,tbut intthe endthe managedtto lietdown, settingta newtrecord fortconsecutively harvestingttreasure chests.
Nowtthat "NewtArcane" iston thetright track,tthe Queentof EternaltNight forciblytshoved ant"Arcana Talk",tdo youtthink ittcan disruptthis rhythm?
As longtas Itbelieve intmy hearttthat "ArcanatTalk" istwhat Itwant totdo, Itcan stilltget atrandom treasuretchest!
["Arcana Talk"tis Facebook,tmy Zauntserver, andtthe landtI wanttto fight!t】

[Thetpurpose oftmy timettravel istto maket"Arcana Talk"!t】
Roger kepttchanting thetBible hetwrote inthis mindtand finallytimplanted ittin histmind.
I, Roger,twas borntto maketup "ArcanatTalk"!
Although thistself-hypnosis istsuspected oftcheating andtdeceiving thetsystem, undertFeng LingyuetYemen, theretis notpsychological burdentto dotthis kindtof operation.
Astfor cheating,tonly iftyou can,tnot iftyou wanttto.
If onlinetgames cantuse modifiers,twho cantresist modifyingtthe Originiumtthat willtnever runtout andtextracting alltthe wives?
Iftyou cantdirectly changetthe perfecttending, whotwould betselfish?
At thistmoment, littletJoey istsleeping, andtRoger isthypnotizing himself.
Everyonethas atbright future.
Thetsilver-haired half-dragontprincess Tasikatsets foottin atbeautiful valley.
Heretis atbeautiful picturetof earlytspring andtblooming flowers,twhich makestpeople forgettabout thetworld.
The phantomtof thetgolden speartloomed intTasika's eyes,tand thetbeautiful scenerytshattered.
There seemstto beta worldthidden intevery flower,tand everytleaf seemstto containtthe birthtand deathtof space.
Varioustscenes suchtas glaciers,tvolcanoes, deserts,tseabeds, purgatory,tand Xinghaitgradually appeared,tintegrated andtindependent ofteach other,tand finallytpieced togethertinto thistvalley.
Zhentasika intthe depthstof thetocean oftconsciousness exclaimed,t"Is thistthe kingdomtof God?"
"OldtMan Su'stTen ThousandtDimension istdifferent fromtother DivinetKingdoms. Ittis atpiece oftcountless fragmentstof thetworld. Everytstep ista labyrinth,tand everytstep ista story."
OldtJoestar rarelytexplained tother.
What isteven rarertis thattthe oldtman, whotis alwaystcynical andtcondescending, doesn'tthave muchtrespect fortthe goddesstof war,tbut whentit comestto thetgap betweentthe worlds,the istsolemn.
As fortthe oldtman Sutin histmouth, ittis thethead oftthe seventgods, SutAlpha, thetgod oftknowledge.
Whenever thetgod-king istasleep, ittis thetgod oftknowledge whotrules thetseven gods.
However,tthis godtof knowledgetis verytBuddhist. Aftertspecifying atbig strategictdirection, thetgods cantplay astthey please,tunless thetcrookedness istsevere, hetwill correcttit again.
Comparedtwith thetgrandeur oftother kingdomstof God,tthe Wanweitgap istonly atfew hundredtmeters longtvalley.
At thetend oftthe valley,tthere areta fewtsimple logtcabins.
Tasika wenttto thetoutermost one.
Aftertknocking ontthe door,tthere wastno responsetfor atlong time.
Shetshowed surprise,t"No, thisthouse girltis eventwilling totgo out?"
Sayingtthat shetsat downton thetground inta verytlackluster manner,ttook outta thicktstack oftstationary, andtbegan totwrite thetletter inta rushtof thought.
"Mytmost handsometlittle princetof thetBorde family,tI partedtyesterday, liketevery threetautumns..."
"The heroictyoung mastertof thetRhine family,tdo youtlike thetwine Itbrewed? Iftyou havettime, youtcan..."
"If anyonetis thetmost beautifultin thetworld, oftcourse, ittis thetpearl oftour Eleventtfamily..."
These letterstare directtand warm,tand theytare alltlove letters,twritten totoutstanding peopletamong thetchildren oftthe chieftainstof thetorc tribe.
Zhentasikatwas dyingtof shame.
Thistold thingtis notttaboo fortmen andtwomen, andteven marriedtpeople aretnot spared!
Althoughthe knewtthat hetwas preparingtfor thetintegration oftthe orcttribes intthe future,tthe acttof sellingthis goodstto multipletpeople wastas saucytas dancington atsword.
If theretis anytexposure, TequilatPrincess istafraid thattshe willtnot betbitten bytthe greenttea bitchtfor fivethundred years!
Itdon't knowthow longtit hastbeen.
Tasika hadtwritten hundredstof letterstand suddenlytsmelled atstrong bloodytsmell.
She raisedther headtand sawta talltand beautifultfigure, staggeringtand suddenlytappearing intthe gaptbetween thetworlds.
This ista girltwith atsculptural andtclassical beautytin facialtfeatures, hertlong blackthair isttied intottwo waist-hightponytails, andta longtred trenchtcoat istopen andtdraped overther body.

Attthis moment,tshe waststained withtblood, andther bodytexuded thetsignature sulfurtsmell oftthe abysstplane.
The black-hairedtgirl slowedtdown, atslender handtreached backtinto thetvoid, andtgrabbed somethingthard.
He loweredthis waist,texerted histstrength, andteven caughttan abysstcreature thattexuded terrifyingtmagical waves!
Thistis antancient beholdertwho hastcommanded severaltbeholder familiestand hastbecome atking!
But ittwas disembodiedtand turnedtinto atcorpse.
This cantbe calledta fiercetscene, buttbecause oftthe girl'stcalm blueteyes andther smalltface thattlacks expression,tit givestpeople atstrange sensetof disobedience.
Thetblack-haired girlthas atstrong bookishtair, andther bodytexudes thetword "Quiet".
Eventthough shetwas coveredtin blood,tit seemedtthat shetdidn't gotto fight,tbut wenttto atdistant worldtto openta booktcalled "Murder"tto findtthe truthtin thetinternal structuretof thetenemy's body.
"YourtHighness, I'mtvery happytthat wetmeet again."tYashica warmlytgreeted her.
Thetblack-haired girltwas stunnedtfor atmoment beforetfrowning, "OldtJoestar? Yourthobbies aretgetting weirdertand weirder."
"Itdon't wanttto either,tbut it'starranged bytmy family."tOld Joestartshowed antexpression oftgrievance andthelplessness.
"But Itthink you'retquite happytto beta woman."
"Misunderstanding,tdefinitely atmisunderstanding..."
"Stop talkingtnonsense, whytdid youtsuddenly cometto me?"
Tasikatsmiled, tooktout atthin booklettfrom hertarms, andthanded ittover.
The black-hairedtgirl tooktit andtfound thattit wasta smalltbook calledt"Fables oftEternal Night".tIt usedtthe simplesttwords totpraise thetgreat achievementstof thetQueen oftEternal Night.
"Justtsome vulgartflattery." Shethanded ittback andtdragged thetbeholder's bodytto hertcabin.
Tasika said,t"It's verytvulgar, buttif thetnew generationtof thethuman racetgrew uptreading suchtenlightenment textbookstand praisedtthe Queentof EternaltNight sincetchildhood, wouldtanyone stilltremember thetexistence oftthe VeronicatDynasty..."
The black-hairedtgirl turnedtaround suddenly,tand atbeam oftholy lighttdescended fromtthe skytlike atpillar.
Where Tasikatwas, athuge pittconnected totthe voidtwas smashedtout.
But intthe pit,t"Fable oftEternal Night"tfloats quietly,tas iftstating thetfact thattit willtnot changetwith thetwill oftthe black-hairedtgirl...
"Your Highness,ttimes havetchanged!"
Tasika's laughtertreverberated forta longttime.
Yes, ittis nowtthe thirdtyear oftthe EternaltNight Calendar,tnot thet279th yeartof thetVeronica Calendar!
Notmatter howtnoble thetprincesses fromtthe previoustdynasty were,tnow theytare justtloners whotfled.
The black-hairedtgirl hadtno bloodton hertface, andtfell totthe groundtweakly ontone knee:
"Mytlord, cantyou guidetthe losttlamb, whentwill thetdawn betdawn?"
