Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 181 Chapter Legilimency and the Use of Psychic Powers

"Are you ready to die?" Lin You couldn't help but sneer at the other person's expression. "You've already said so much, and you still need this last sentence?"

Daedalus' face was flushed red, partly because of anger and partly because of the "rope"; but even though he was almost suffocated, he remained silent.

"Don't I know if you don't tell me? Isn't the control switch of the cage hidden deep in this cave? Aren't you waiting for Kratos to come and open the door for him? Are you still waiting for Hermes to pass on the message to you?"

The writer's series of rhetorical questions completely confused Daedalus. Each question was like a heavy hammer, hammering the old man's psychological defenses violently - this was the effect Lin You wanted.

Because "Terminology" is most effective when the other party is off guard or has a psychological flaw.

After a long period of practice, Lin You's skills in mind control and brain snooping have become more and more sophisticated. The power of Legilimency spell combined with the mental power of Ophiuchus has increased exponentially. He does not have Dumbledore's mental cleanliness, but likes this convenient ability very much.

In anger, Daedalus's mental fluctuations were extremely violent, allowing Lin You to easily distinguish what the other party said was true and what was false. At the same time, the writer continued to stimulate the old man, trying to dig out more information.

"Now there is only one Hephaestus left in there. His name is Vulcan, but he is actually just a blacksmith. This cave is almost defenseless to me."

As Lin You spoke, he took the picture to replace the thoughts in Dalos' mind, in order to confirm whether Hephaestus had a secret weapon or other powerful killing power. All this was done quietly.

Only after collecting enough information did the author start to seriously ask questions again: "Why do you still serve the original gods? You are not a mortal. When this world fell into the time dilemma, you should know many truths and the true face of these Olympian gods."

Daedalus is also a rather pitiful fellow in the game's plot; as the greatest craftsman of Olympus, he was tricked into serving the gods with all his might, but in the end, after he had lost his usefulness, he was imprisoned and locked deep in the belly of Mount Olympus, never to see the light of day until his death.

"Because Zeus promised..." When it came to this question, Daedalus's resistance was no longer strong, and he gave an answer.

"You actually still believe in Zeus's promise?" Lin You laughed dumbly, not knowing what to say. In the game, Daedalus and his son were separated because Zeus broke his promise and never saw each other until death.

"It's different." Daedalus argued loudly with a red face, "As long as Zeus can realize his plan, He will be able to break all the troubles in the past; at that time, Ikaros and I will become insignificant to Him, and we will have the opportunity to gain freedom."

The old man shouted at the top of his lungs; he was not defending Zeus, but defending his own choice and the hope in his heart.

Lin You could not comment on Daedalus's thoughts, nor did he care; he mentioned this question only to pave the way for the following question: "Where is Zeus now? I'm talking about the Zeus who promised to give you and your son freedom."

Daedalus was stunned again; although he refused to speak again, his still violently fluctuating emotions betrayed his thoughts completely.

"So it's Zeus who's in the palace, watching over the big world nearby?" The writer seemed to be talking to himself, but he made the answer in Daedalus' mind clear; then, without giving the old man a chance to speak again, he poisoned him and threw him into the dimensional space to accompany the other three gods.

"Looks like I have to try this cave." Lin You returned to the cave entrance, put away his holy clothes, and walked in with only the dark wood wand in his hand. At the same time, he added enough defensive magic to his body. Lin You also knew that these layers of defensive magic seemed to be impregnable, but in fact they could not withstand the attack strength against the Lord God. However, his requirements were not high, as long as he could buy himself a second or half a second of reaction time.

Because if there is a gap of even a second, the writer can grasp the quill and unleash the final and most powerful response.

Lin You took the first step cautiously into the cave. The surroundings were as calm as usual. Magic was not divine and did not trigger the cave's defenses. He went deeper and deeper. With each step, the suppression power of the magic circle core increased. Before long, the magic power in his body almost stagnated.

The heavy external pressure is also testing Lin You's psychological endurance, forcing him to tremble with fear and try to restrain the Saint Seiya's stress instinct when facing danger, so that his microcosm remains silent at all times; he hides his microcosm and divinity in the deepest part of his soul, and uses the characteristics of his own soul to isolate himself from the detection of the cave's defense measures.

The physical burden caused by the pressure of the magic circle was beyond imagination; although he did not end up crawling on his hands and feet like Daedalus, Lin You also clearly felt his footsteps were heavy and he could no longer control the sound of his footsteps.

As they approached the deepest part, even breathing became difficult; fortunately, there was no need to hide their tracks at this time, because the figure of Hephaestus had appeared before them.

The appearance of the God of Fire is similar to that in the game, ugly and wretched; however, his body is not as huge as in the game, probably because his true body has not been revealed.

When Lin You saw Him, the Fire God's breathing was no lighter than the writer's. He was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head half drooped, looking sick and weak. It was obvious that he was also deeply affected by the negative impact of the suppression power of the magic circle.

At the deepest part of the cave was a small space with rough stone walls on all four sides and no decoration; only a bronze instrument like a steering wheel was embedded on the wall opposite Hephaestus.

"Excuse me for disturbing you, Your Excellency the God of Fire." Lin You took the initiative to greet him.

The sudden stranger's voice startled Hephaestus, and he half-straightened up and looked towards the source of the voice.

It was not until this time that Lin You could fully see the other person's appearance, but he was three times uglier than the impression he had when he first met him. He had one missing eye, one lame foot, messy hair, and an untidy beard.

With this appearance, it is no wonder that his wife, the goddess of love, Aphrodite, would rather go out and eat with both men and women, regardless of whether they are vegetarian or meat, rather than give him a good face. No matter what, the goddess of love is also one of the goddesses on Mount Olympus who is qualified to compete for the most beautiful woman.

"Who are you?" Unlike other gods that Lin You had met, the God of Fire was unable to recognize the writer's identity immediately; "How did you get in? Where did Daedalus go?"

"Why are you so concerned about trivial matters?" Lin You said in a familiar tone, "Shouldn't you be concerned about the switch on the wall that controls the cage?"

Without making any sound, the psychological offensive has quietly begun.
