One day ago, in the basement.
Ferdinand said, "Although Bruno is a profligate son, he's not an idiot. He might come up with all sorts of ridiculous requests. "Therefore, I've thought of an idea."
Fang Xingjian closed his eyes to cultivate, and white light shot out from his fingertips.
Ferdinand did not think much of it. He had long since gotten used to Fang Xingjian's state of cultivation for almost twenty-four hours a day. He continued to talk to himself, "Xingjian, with your abilities, you should be able to impersonate someone.
"It just so happens that this skull comes from the Northern Ice Region, and in an academy in the Northern Ice Region, there's a Headmaster who is famous for his formless sword Qis. "However, he's most famous for his pettiness and violent temper."
Ferdinand smiled, "Hehe, there's no one who has not suffered his revenge after offending him. If you can impersonate him, you should be able to suppress Bruno."
Of course, such an impersonation could not be done openly.
And when dealing with an intelligent person like Bruno, it would usually be more effective to intentionally or unintentionally hint to him, making him feel that he had guessed it himself.
Therefore, knowing that the other party was from the Northern Ice Region, seeing how the Ether Sword Ripples had stunned the four Knights, as well as the pettiness in this person's words …
'Hans Wilson.' This name floated into Bruno's mind.
'So, it's Hans Wilson? Coming from the Northern Ice Region and a student of a certain academy, possessing formless slashes that can instantly kill a first transition Knight, and having such a temperament of haggling over every little thing. '
Bruno's face under the golden mask broke into a confident smile.
People like him were usually very confident in their own deductions.
Since he was certain that the other party was Hans Wilson, he was naturally not worried that the other party would lie to him. How could a Conferred Knight, a Headmaster of an academy, not have such a sense of responsibility?
Therefore, he dismissed his subordinates and said, "Haha, the Headmaster's temper is still the same. I wonder if Brother Colin is doing well in the Northern Ice Region?"
Colin was a genius who had headed to the Northern Ice Region from Kirst five years ago. He had also joined the Wilson Regional Academy which Hans Wilson was in.
Hearing Bruno's words, Fang Xingjian seemed to be surprised and fell silent. After a while, he said with slight annoyance, "I don't understand what you're talking about. Do you still want to trade or not?"
However, Fang Xingjian's attempt to cover up only made him more certain. He shook his head and said, "Of course, I believe your words. Since that's the case, I'll just use this skull. Six hours later, thirty thousand gold coins will be sent to this room."
Although Bruno was confident in his decision, since the other party said that he could pay 30,000 Gold Coins in one lump sum after using them, he naturally wouldn't pretend to be generous and ask the other party to pay 15,000 Gold Coins first.
The attendant at the side breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please follow me to the quiet room."
One of his men asked, "Young master, do you want us to go with you?"
Bruno waved his hand and pretended to be magnanimous as he said, "It's fine. To sense Heaven's Perception, one has to go out and do it in absolute silence. It wouldn't be good if there were too many people around. Moreover, with this sir watching, what could possibly happen to me?"
After that, he smiled and walked out with Fang Xingjian.
…
On the first floor, when the black-robed man mentioned that the other party could not leave his sight, the atmosphere fell silent.
After a long period of silence, a bitter laugh rang out from under the (fake) mask of the golden-masked man. "To be honest, I'm just a representative. The person who bought the skull isn't me. "However, my master doesn't wish to reveal his identity, so he asked me to bring it over. "You know that once there's no progress after using it …"
A hint of understanding flashed in the black-robed man's eyes. There was nothing wrong with the reason given by the other party. After all, whether one could attain Heaven's Perception or not was greatly related to one's aptitude and temperament.
If there was no progress after using the skull, it would naturally be very embarrassing. One might even be labeled as having no aptitude by others.
This was especially so in the great clans. Once one was labeled as such by competitors, it would be very troublesome. One might even be looked down upon by the clan head and Elders of the clan.
The black-robed man had seen too many of such shameless people. Therefore, he did not take the other party's attempt to cover up to heart.
He merely shook his head and said, "Don't worry. Tell your master to just put on a mask. I have no intention of investigating his identity. If he doesn't even have this bit of responsibility, then he can just give up on this deal."
He reiterated, "But no matter what, the parietal bones must always be within my sight."
The (fake) man with the gold mask let out a breath and said, "Then please follow me to meet my master."
…
On the other side, Bruno followed Fang Xingjian to a quiet room and sat down.
Fang Xingjian threw a glance at him and slowly took out a small gift box. Bruno looked at the box, his eyes filled with excitement and greed.
However, this was a 'Conferred Knight', and he did not dare to be rash.
Fang Xingjian opened the small gift box, revealing a piece of the parietal bones. Seeing that Bruno was about to reach out for it, he placed his hand in front of him. Looking at Bruno's nervous expression, he said calmly, "Drink a cup of water first. He'll be yours for the next six hours. However, you don't want to be startled awake during the sensing process due to thirst and a sore throat, right?"
Bruno smiled. "Thank you for your advice." He had already completely treated the other party as a Conferred Knight.
Taking the teapot from Fang Xingjian, Bruno took a sip.
Fang Xingjian said, "Alright, just moisten your throat. Don't drink too much, or you'll wake up from the suffocation."
Bruno put down the teapot obediently, looked at Fang Xingjian, who was shrouded in a black robe, and said, "Now, is it okay?"
Fang Xingjian pushed the small gift box over slowly. He had long since asked about the method of using the parietal bones. He said, "Place your hand on it and focus all your attention on it. Feel the waves bit by bit."
Of course, Bruno had already asked about the method of using the parietal bones. He controlled his emotions and slowly placed his hand on the parietal bones, starting to focus his attention on it.
However, this was just an ordinary piece of bone. How could Bruno really sense anything?
A minute passed. Although Bruno focused his attention on the bone like never before, he seemed to feel something, but at the same time, he seemed to not feel anything.
Of course, what he felt was just his misconception. Anyone who calmed down and focused their attention on a certain part of their body would feel something.
He could not help but ask, "Master, I seem to …"
"Don't speak." Fang Xingjian said, "Use your heart to feel it."
Bruno suppressed his curiosity. Gradually, he felt as if his brain was gradually heating up, and there seemed to be countless light spots flashing in his eyes.
"Master … Master, I seem to …
"I seem to feel …
