Chapter 3091: Idealistic Quota

"I have one more question to ask: when a Psionic Artifact falls into the hands of others, can the Psionic Master who created it control that Psionic Artifact?"

"No. I have never heard of such a thing in the south. Of course, I cannot rule out the possibility of controlling it when in close proximity, but unless the Psionic Artifact itself possesses the ability to move, even if it were controlled, it wouldn't be lost."

Talafu's answer was quite detailed. Xia Duo then asked, "Then why not simply destroy those Psionic Artifacts? Keeping them in the Elemental Tower might lead to them being recaptured by Zhamu Dasi!"

Xia Duo had actually guessed some possibilities regarding this question through Mohawi's memories. Asking Talafu now was more for cross-verification; after all, it is difficult for an outsider to judge how much of a Psionic Master's memory is reality and how much is illusion.

Therefore, Xia Duo did not blindly trust Mohawi's memories, but it could not be denied that Mohawi's memories had indeed opened his eyes to things that could not be learned through other channels.

Regarding why the captured Psionic Artifacts were not destroyed but instead kept in the Elemental Tower, Talafu answered as follows—

"Psionic energy is the manifestation of a Psionic Master's idealistic abilities. Splitting a portion of psionic energy to create a Psionic Artifact means the upper limit of psionic energy directly controlled by the creator is lowered, so most Psionic Masters do not easily create Psionic Artifacts."

"Only those who reach the Master level have enough spare energy to create them. Furthermore, this is also a way for Psionic Masters to vent; idealistic power is not so easy to control. Once there are signs of it exceeding control, a Psionic Master will split their psionic energy to create a Psionic Artifact, solidifying a portion of their idealistic ability into a relatively independent artifact capability."

"The reason we keep these Psionic Artifacts is, on one hand, we occupy the lower limit of the Psionic Master's idealistic power; destroying them would be equivalent to helping the other side liberate that portion of the lower limit."

"A Psionic Master might care about that small loss of the lower limit, but if we collect the Psionic Artifacts we created in small quantities, and then suddenly destroy the artifacts we created during a battle or other critical moments, the uncontrolled psionic energy might help us destroy the opponent."

"There should be some, but I still need to consider other competitors in Fashishan. I cannot give you a definitive answer to this question for now. I will give you an answer after I return and see my grandfather."

It is just that in this way, using a large number of Psionic Artifacts for experiments would inevitably cause irreversible damage, which would be equivalent to destroying those artifacts.

Xia Duo himself does not possess the ability of photographic memory; he can only achieve a similar effect by utilizing his Memory Retrospection ability, much like flipping through a book at any time.

Mohawi did not wait for Xia Duo to make a promise and directly revealed this secret—"Psionic Masters can strengthen our perception of the Elemental Plane. Once one possesses a Psionic Master, it means the family can continuously obtain new pastures. With such huge benefits, how could those families easily give them up!"

This secret should be an open secret within Fashishan, and perhaps even past wars with Zhamu Dasi were not without the intention of capturing Psionic Masters. Therefore, it is best to keep this secret to oneself; it is not appropriate to make it public.

In Talafu's memory, there was similar content, but the perspective and the role as a former enemy, the Fashishan people, were not quite the same. Through such cross-comparison, Xia Duo was basically able to confirm that this part of the content was true.

"Even for you, Xia Duo, please do not disclose this to anyone else after hearing it."

Isn't that helping those Psionic Masters in disguise?

It is just that this time, when Xia Duo asked if it was possible to help find a few Psionic Master captives, Mohawi did not agree immediately, but told Xia Duo quite embarrassedly:

If one were to really ask Mohawi directly, it would not only be a matter of not trusting the other party, but also slapping them in the face.

Hearing Mohawi mention Psionic Master captives, Xia Duo's eyes suddenly lit up. What could be more beneficial than having a Psionic Master to cooperate with research?

……

If it is not possible, then I will just think of other ways; there is no need to demand more from a friend who has already helped me.

Besides, regarding memories, even the person who experienced them might overlook things, let alone Xia Duo, who is not the true owner of the memories.

But since he already knew about the existence of Psionic Master captives, Xia Duo was obviously unwilling to give up easily. After considering it, he thought of another idea:

If he could obtain some Psionic Masters from the south, that would be even better!

If they are not subjected to an Artifact Baptism, then where did the first Psionic Artifact come from?

When Xia Duo raised this question to Mohawi, Mohawi smiled and told Xia Duo not to worry, "The Psionic Artifacts I found for you were basically created by people captured by Fashishan. Fashishan is also conducting related experiments, so you have absolutely no need to worry about that. If the Mairide Family didn't have Zhamu Dasi's Psionic Master captives, I would have already had someone send the artifacts to you."

The Psionic Network Research Center actually has Psionic Masters, but those Psionic Masters are basically all connected to Kalishi. How could Xia Duo ask those Elves for help in researching psionic energy!

"Can you help purchase some Psionic Master captives from Kaitemier? Aren't they still at war with Zhamu Dasi? There should be many captives, right?"

The sages of my hometown once said, read a book a hundred times and its meaning will reveal itself.

After ending the communication with Mohawi, Xia Duo did not sit and wait for the other party to send the Psionic Artifacts, but instead re-searched Talafu's memory, attempting to discover more details about Psionic Magic.

Xia Duo's focus this time was on the process of Talafu using psionic energy for spellcasting; he suspected that the technique for perceiving the existence of psionic energy might be hidden within it.

Mohawi ultimately did not agree on the spot, but Xia Duo was not disappointed. Being able to obtain a batch of Psionic Artifacts that he could use for various experiments at will was already him taking a huge advantage; if he could obtain a Psionic Master, that would of course be best.

Or perhaps, can a Psionic Master really not be achieved through training?

However, when Xia Duo heard this secret, his first reaction was whether the Mairide Family really didn't have any Psionic Master captives. Of course, this was just a thought that flashed through his mind.

Especially the process of Talafu, as a Spellcaster, interacting his own consciousness with psionic energy.

At the same time, retrospection is not equivalent to full understanding, just as flipping through a book is not equivalent to fully comprehending it.

Besides, Xia Duo was also very interested in the process of Psionic Masters receiving an Artifact Baptism. If Psionic Masters can only be produced in this way, then where did the first Psionic Master come from?

If one cannot perceive it, then how is one to cast spells?

"Families in Fashishan that possess Psionic Masters are basically unlikely to sell Psionic Masters to outsiders. This relates to a secret of Fashishan. If it were anyone else, I would not reveal a single word."
