Chapter 187: Occlumency of Faceless Men! (I)
Kai turned over one page after the other, ignoring the Chief Bishop's words, his mind already playing scenarios based on the incredible data written about the middle-aged Viscount.
He could not believe how the Temple of Byagoona had figured out this much about a Contestant, given the System would have never told them. He closed his eyes, his mind running like a killing machine about to sign the death sentence of an unknown person.
One stroke of thought and Viscount Lucas' fate was set.
Kai snapped open his eyes and nodded. "It can be done," he said, smiling a hollow smile. "I want to learn the principles of both Occlumency and Legilimency and along with it, I want a saber and armor. Items, of course."
Kai already knew that the Temple of Byagoona knew he had two Abilities. One based on movement and the other on a weapon. That's why he only asked for one saber, to throw them off on a false trail.
The Chief Bishop's face gave away nothing. "Life of Viscount Lucas for Occlumency and access to the Temple's library over these Concepts," he told Kai.
Kai almost smiled. "Deal."
"A man can feel that you have somehow locked your emotions," the Chief Bishop said, as Kai put the folder into his MRB. "But that is not true hiding of emotions. This artificial lock doesn't represent Control. Let it go."
Kai stared back into those pale green eyes, contemplating what to do now. If this man were to use Legilimency on him, then he wouldn't even know.
"Don't worry," the Chief Bishop told him. "Even the simplest use of Mana to cast such spells will cause dire consequences for Contestants of my caliber who have descended this low in the Primordial Tower.."
This was the only reason Kai was here, to begin with. If it wasn't for Meg's experience, and knowing how abnormal these restrictions were, then he would have never come here. He took a deep breath and lifted the lock over his emotions, his face immediately welcoming them with open arms.
