Chapter 888: 277. Take advantage of the situation.

“How does it feel? You must have experienced the backlash on the mental level by now. The principle of mental magic is using one’s own mind as a spear against the enemy. While inflicting damage on someone else’s mind, our own mind will also suffer backlash effects.”

“A Saint Level Mind Wizard’s ‘Mind Control’ can minimize the backlash effect, but will still endure severe mental backlash during the control of Mechanos.”

“Moreover, this phenomenon of mental backlash ignores both the Mental Protection Pendant and the ‘Mental Shield.’ Even if you are wearing a Saint Level Mental Protection Pendant, it cannot stop the mental backlash.”

Selena’s face turned pale, and after resting for more than ten seconds, she finally calmed her trembling mind.

Looking down at the Mechanos by her feet once again, she gradually understood the basis of Noland Lee’s confidence:

“I understand.”

Selena raised her head, her eyes shooting with the light of enlightenment:

“The ‘Thundercloud Technique,’ the Mechanos, and other extraordinary things you have created are not the key. It is your mental magic that is of utmost importance, as only you can resist the mental backlash that comes with controlling them.”

“Yes, that’s right,” Noland nodded.

“What about the Elemental Energy Reactor and the Magic Guide Crystal Tube?” Selena asked further:

“They can be controlled without mental magic. How do we protect them, then?”

Noland’s expression became more solemn:

“Once the Elemental Energy Reactor and the Magic Guide Crystal Tube fall into the hands of outsiders, there is a risk they will be replicated. This is the reason for signing a soul contract with you. I cannot completely prevent the appearance of replicas, I can only try to delay its occurrence.”

Noland’s voice grew a few notches heavier.

Selena and Denise Green turned serious.

Noland spoke:

“So far, the only people who know about the Elemental Energy Reactor, the Magic Electric Arc Furnace, and the Magic Guide Crystal Tube are me, Denise, Selena, and Nolin. Eve Mastin, the Demon Spirit Wizard who I had originally arranged to protect Denise, has also been dismissed from my employ. We four are the only ones who can access these things.”

Noland’s gaze wandered over the faces of the two:

“I trust you, which is why I invited you to collaborate on improving and utilizing my magical creations. I do not wish for any of my magical creations to be leaked out and be controlled by anyone or anything but us four.”

“You can trust me, Jarvis. I won’t do such a foolish thing,” Selena stated with gravity.

“Yes, yes, yes! Me too,” Denise exclaimed, “Same here!”

“Yes, I know you will not betray me, which is why I chose you as my partners,” Noland said with a smile, dispelling the serious look on his face.
