Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 106: Sound of Heart (5/10)
Man is born to listen.
As a baby, listen to your parents.
When you grow up, listen to the teacher's teachings.
As an adult, listen to your superiors.
Listening is the fastest way to understand a person, and the most convenient way to get close to a person. Listening can be understood, approached, tolerated, and naturally known.
If it is said that the essence of a human being is the sum of all his social relations...then the voice he utters and the voice he hears is a huge net that weaves his "human form".
And be able to hear all the voices on this web, be able to weave spider silk to hear more voices, be able to crawl on the web of sound, and listen to the person who floats in the sound ripples in the invisible wind.
A person who can hear the "voice of the heart" in addition to the "voice of reality".
Perhaps, it is the person who can get to know one person after another at the fastest speed.
"Welcome to patronize, we only need two pfennies today."
Wearing a fortune-teller robe, the smiling Wiggs said this to people who were doubtful but full of expectations. The man's dark green pupils were deep, and his long black hair like seaweed was loose. Cover half of your face.
Two pfennies, neither more nor less, will buy you a loaf of bread, though you won't get a big steak.
Who would take out this money, just to let a fortune-teller who doesn't know the truth say a few ambiguous words?
The answer is many people.
"Sir, can you calculate my recent relationship fortune?!"
A young sailor with bloodshot eyes and freckles looks at him expectantly.
A simple child who can see through worries at a glance.
"Well... Mister, you must have encountered some troubles recently. At this time, you can't worry and rush, just ask and follow up. Sometimes keeping a distance and a sense of boundaries can calm down the relationship between the two parties."
The young sailor suddenly realized, paid the money and left with a grateful face: "Yes, yes...that's right, thank you very much!"
"Hmph, I don't know where you come from, you little white-faced liar. Let me tell you, I've seen a lot of people like you. If you have the ability, you can figure out what I had for dinner yesterday!"
A stout fisherman with a dark complexion and a beard, breathing heavily of alcohol, growled loudly and stared at him closely.
A person who is self-righteous and inferior, a guy who can't get satisfaction without attacking others, the marks on his teeth and the taste in his mouth have already given the answer.
"Grilled octopus with mashed potatoes is made in this tavern. Besides that, I drank a lot of wine. But I don't think there is any need for divination, everyone can tell."
Amidst the laughter of others, the drunken fisherman gritted his teeth and his face was flushed, but he still paid the money and left angrily: "What... tsk, huh, just try your luck! Isn't it just two pfennies? Take it!"
Next, more, more.
It can be seen at a glance that things are not going well recently, forcing the depressed porter.
You can guess the artisan apprentice who is studying hard recently but is not making good progress.
A boss whose business is not good; a father who is worried about his children's education; and a painter who is arrogant and rejected by many people.
Their voices are very shallow and easy to hear.
Easy to understand without using psionic powers.
If you want to perfunctory them, you don't need to use your brain at all, you just need to say a few ambiguous words, say something that the public knows, and comfort them vaguely, and everyone will feel that they have gained something. comprehend.
Even, I really have the courage to solve problems.
This is the power of voice... a false voice can lead to real courage, real strength, and real information.
After listening to the voices of thousands of people, you can understand people's thoughts; after understanding the laments of thousands of people, you can understand the vision of most people.
Because he wants to know the thoughts of the most intimate person in theory, Wiggs wants to hear other people's private voices.
Because of this ardent desire, he awakened the psychic power called "Wind Sound", and was accepted by the Imperial Academy of True Knowledge. After a long period of study and research, he became a patrol knight due to various encounters. regiment of apprentices.
Until now.
I have to say that possessing the psychic ability to hear most of the private conversations, as well as the voices of reporters who have been imprinted, is really a wonderful match for a patrol knight.
It is precisely because of this psychic ability that can not only eavesdrop, but also partially read minds, that Wiggs can become a full member of the Knights with a status of less than the third energy level.
Just like now.
In just a few days, through private contact, touching during divination, ordinary handshakes, and seemingly friendly behaviors, the black-haired knight has spread his 'spider silk' all over the entire Port of Harrison .
He can set specific keywords, set up a 'special list' that needs to be focused on, and collect the information he wants from the spider webs all over the city all the time.
In the past few days, Wiggs has been wandering around taverns, docks and markets.
Sometimes, as a fortuneteller.
Sometimes, as a passing merchant.
Other times, as mercenaries and wandering knights.
From different angles, different classes, and different aspects, I bury my own spider threads and listen to every sound in every detail.
Harrison Port rating? He has already done this kind of small work on the first day.
The fact that Viscount Grant worried that he was sent by the current emperor to take his position really made him feel funny.
It's not that Viscount Grant is amused, because the other party's suspicion is actually true - the 'landkeeper', the current emperor Axel, indeed has such thoughts.
If Viscount Grant did not do well enough, he has considered controlling this future important sea trade port in his own hands, so as to avoid mistakes in the future.
Wiggers found it funny, but he was himself.
Because, even if the emperor thinks so much, it is not his turn to replace Viscount Grant.
It's not his turn, a former apprentice of the most wanted criminal in the history of the empire.
Unless...
He can do great things.
Whether it is to completely eradicate all the resistance forces in Nanling, or to find clues to the extremely rare fifth-level titan or ancient dragon; It is to present an apocalypse weapon to the royal family...
As long as these great deeds are achieved, no matter how infamous they are, they will be respected. Let's reverse the public opinion.
Of course, apart from these impossible things, there is a simpler method.
That is, to find the person who caused him to be ignored by the royal family, alienated by his colleagues, broken dreams, and the source of his current pain.
His guide.
The most wanted criminal in the history of Setar Empire.
Former leader of the Patrol Knights.
The right hand of the black king.
The man who is revered by all enemies as the 'Immortal City'...
- Hilliard Lessey.
Only by finding him can the root of all this pain be solved.
"Teacher, you hide quite deeply."
In the dim room, Wiggs slowly opened his eyes, and the pale white psychic fluorescence slowly converged: "There is no clue on the surface - no sudden appearance, tall outsiders, and no hired people Tourists who go out to sea, in recent years, there have not been any incidents where villains have been punished or local gangsters have been attacked..."
"You have learned to be smart, but you still haven't stayed in the city... But if you have really been here, there must be clues left."
"And I have caught some clues."
