Chapter 162: The Faceless Men and Solving the Mystery of Cosmic Lore!
Kai had later thought that Simon had been talking about his Water-bending Ability.
Now he couldn't help but rethink his thoughts, sensing if there was more to that man's words. A hidden scorn for the rest of us, perhaps, he guessed, now knowing how twisted these fellows were.
"Then Simon..." Kai trailed off, expecting the worst.
"Sigh!" Meg seemed to steel herself for something. "As much as I loathe to say it, the Faceless Men of Byagoona are indeed the most skilled Legilimens and Occlumens in the Primordial Tower. It's their form of Multiverse Interdependency, and none had even come close to their mastery over this magic, I am afraid. It is known."
A combination of the arts of Faceless, Legilimency, and Occlumency? One of the most brilliant spy networks of its kind?
Wasn't it the ultimate sort of espionage?
Kai shuddered.
Meg must have guessed his thoughts. "No matter Legilimency or Occlumency," she said slowly, "both need Mana. The moment the Priests or Priestesses of Byagoona come to the lower floor's Missions by restricting their Stats, they almost instantly lose their use of such tremendous magic. You must understand that we are as much assisted by our Stats as we are hindered by them."
"What about within the Harry Potter World, then?" Kai asked, looking at her. "If anybody can just read my memories, then am I not the most foolish person to even think of reincarnating in that world?"
He had got the shock of his life when he had mentioned Mundungus Fletcher to Meg, Kai recalled. The most stupid and riskiest decision, she had named it. There was no guarantee that the wizard wouldn't read Kai's thoughts and memories. Or maybe he had but didn't react to them because of the obvious greed for HP capsules. The only thing Kai was sure of was that Petyr wasn't subjected to these things. Neither Occlumency nor any similar trick would work on the soulless character.
A giggle escaped Meg's old mouth. "We are not limited to Harry Potter World, master," she said, easing him. "We have Chaos to look after us. It blocks all thoughts, memories, and even emotions related to the Primordial Tower or anything related to the Contestants from the most talented magicians.
