Fortunately, the whole process did not last too long, otherwise Benjamin would not have known what to do.
As her mental power faded, the girl opened her eyes, and the sparrow in her hand also opened its eyes. During the entire taming process, the mind technique seemed to speed up the devouring of life force, and the sparrow that originally had full wings now looked like a withered frame. The bare skin was covered with veins, which was very scary.
"Ghost Bird" slowly stood up from the girl's hands, its eyes radiating scarlet light.
Benjamin couldn't help but frown, and took a few steps back to protect the young man.
"This is… "
The girl also came back to her senses at this time, suddenly showed an excited expression, almost jumped up with joy, and shouted: "I... I succeeded!"
"Success?"
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl also nodded, and suddenly stretched out her hand to throw the ghost bird into the air.
Along with the gathering of dark elements, black shadows appeared under its ribs, forming two pairs of pitch black wings. It waved its jet-black wings, flew around the girl six times, and finally stopped on her shoulder, gently rubbing its head on the girl's neck, looking very submissive.
Although... this action does not look intimate at all, but a bit scary.
"Can you command it? What can it do? Where is the limit of its strength?" Benjamin couldn't help but become a little excited, and asked several questions in succession.
The girl scratched her head and said, "I haven't figured it out completely, but... I should be able to make it fight for me, such as spraying out some shadow missiles or something like that."
Benjamin couldn't help but nodded when he thought of the scene where the bird turned into a corpse last time.
"Come on, let's try it." He formed a wall of ice in front of him and waved to the girl, "I need to understand how powerful this thing is."
"Ah... okay."
The girl nodded. As if sensing her thoughts, the ghost bird suddenly flew into the air and spit out four or five magic missiles composed purely of dark elements. The missile hit the ice wall with a thud, thump, thump, and made several small craters before dissipating invisible.
The system also recorded all the data just now.
"This thing... to be honest, its power is quite average." After analysis, the system said lazily, "The power of each missile is actually about the same as low-level magic. If you expect to rely on this thing to resist the church, at least it has to A few million."
Benjamin was not disappointed.
There are only millions of such ghosts under the abyss. Although they have lost their weird illusion ability after being tamed, the telekinesis casters can command them like an arm, which is the most critical point.
"With your current ability, how many ghosts can you control in this state?" Benjamin asked.
"Control it? I..." the girl scratched her head and said with some distress, "I feel that after taming it, it left a mark on my spiritual power. I may not be able to tame other ancestral spirits. "
Hearing this, Benjamin looked disappointed.
"You mean, a telekinesis caster can only tame one ghost? Is this still taming? How is it like signing a contract?"
"This... I don't know either."
"never mind."
Finally, Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
It seems that the beautiful blueprint of relying on the ghost army to defeat the church has been shattered once again. After being tamed, ghosts seem to be able to only provide some simple magical means to telepathic casters, but it is difficult to change the pattern of the world in a real sense.
but…
"This thing should continue to get stronger, right?" Sensing that the dark element was still being absorbed into the sparrow's body, Benjamin thought for a while and asked.
After hearing this, the girl closed her eyes and communicated with the ghost for a while, then finally opened her eyes and nodded excitedly.
"Yes! It tells me that the longer it goes, the more powerful it will be!"
"Then...it's still usable."
Benjamin nodded.
A pet that can grow is a good pet. Although the innate qualifications of this ghost bird may not be very good, as long as it keeps accumulating, it is not impossible to become a powerful lich.
Is he... suddenly opening up a new path for the system of telekinesis
Originally, compared to magic, he felt that telekinesis was a bit weak, lacking direct means of attack and could only work wonders in some special occasions. But if the "ghost baby" part is added, telekinesis spellcasters will undoubtedly receive a huge enhancement.
Obviously, the process of "taming ancestral spirits" in overseas sects is somewhat different from the process he studied here. Maybe it's the difference in the source of the ghosts, or maybe it's the difference in the domestication process... In short, they don't have everyone carrying a ghost baby, but on Benjamin's side, this is a scenario that can be realized in the future.
Just like that, Benjamin waved his hand and promised to catch more ghosts for the two siblings in the future, and asked them to take the ghost bird back and study it slowly. The telekinesis talents in the academy are already being cultivated. Once they are done, they will become a strong army.
He breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his dean's office.
The possible offensive threat of the church is the issue that deserves most attention at the moment.
"There have been varying degrees of riots in some seaport cities of the Kingdom of Hori. We have heard some rumors about heretics." Hui, the person in charge of the secret department of the college, reported, "In addition, the church has also mobilized many people to go to the current border. There are no large armies stationed nearby."
After listening, Benjamin nodded.
Has the church really given up the idea of attacking
… No, I still feel a little suspicious.
Maybe it came from intuition, but Benjamin just believed that it was impossible for them to give up the key to the elemental plane. That is the foundation of the church's inheritance, and it is even more important than Grant's papacy. Even if Grant did not want to send troops, the pressure from the surrounding priests would force him to send troops.
After all, as long as they have this key, even if Grant dies, they seem to be able to create another powerful pope.
After some careful consideration, Benjamin could only pull Miles back from the Potions Department laboratory.
"Sorry to disturb your research, I have a very important thing to ask you." Benjamin said, "The Horli Kingdom's offensive intention suddenly disappeared. On the surface, it seems to have been invaded by a foreign sect, but... "
Miles pulled out the needle inserted in his arm and seemed happy to leave here: "But you don't think so?"
Benjamin nodded.
"Can you investigate the truth here for me?"
