Chapter 44

Did she not sleep last night...

Surman looked at the blonde girl by the round table, and then looked at the table. The already cool breakfast, buttered bread, lightly fried bacon, cassette mixed with dragon tail fish meat, and a large bowl of vegetable soup, which was tempting people's appetite.

"It seems that during this period, Ibis' cooking skills have improved..."

It is not difficult to see from the appearance of the breakfast on the table that under Surman's personal training, the things Ibis made have changed from being "not very good" to being "at least edible" or even being "quite delicious".

So Surman pulled open the chair, sat down opposite her, and gently reached out to hit the tabletop—

Twist!

The crisp and powerful sound, like a morning clock, woke up the beautiful girl who was sleeping. She was like a frightened little rabbit. She subconsciously stood up from the table, and her fair face, which was a little alert, was covered with a few strands of blond hair, looking full of playfulness.

"Why don't you go back to your room to sleep?" Surman subconsciously reached out and straightened her blonde hair. The next second, he realized that this action was too intimate and somewhat transcendent. At the same time, Ebis's face was also tense, as if he had been immobilized.

Occasionally, the fingertips touched the other person's skin. The extremely tight touch and the blond girl's body made Surman react, hurriedly stopped and coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment.

“I…I have some insomnia.”

Ebis lowered her head, her cheeks flushed a little. When she whispered and explained the reason, she successfully broke free when she seemed angry. She glared at Surman again.

"Don't think too much, I'm not because of you, mainly..." Ebis said halfway through, and suddenly, her tone fell down, she gently pursed her red lips, and then picked up the bread on the table and stuffed it into her mouth.

This is a change of topic, something makes her feel taboo... By the way, she was born from a religious wealthy family in [Hand of Glory] (War Church)... Surman instantly guessed the reason why the other party stopped.

After all, in Ibis's eyes, Surman is just an "ordinary" extraordinary person, with a low rank and the most powerful one is the level of a silver hunter. Compared with the Ukiyo-Er Palace, which spans the entire northern cold soil and is in the southernmost part of the Ukiyo-Er Palace, famous for its warlike nature, the two are not at the same level at all. Not to mention him, even the entire bounty guild is not worthy of being compared with the [Hand of Glory].

The huge gap between the two sides made Ibis choose to hide it. Sometimes, the weak know too much news, which is not a good thing.

In this world where extraordinary power and strange laws coexist, keeping ignorance allows ordinary people to live longer and actively explore the mystery is often swallowed up by the mystery... Just like the gray iron hunters at the bottom, they are all reserves for the extraordinary people, but the mortality rate is extremely high, and there are not many living people left in a year. Instead, ordinary people live longer than them - of course, the premise is not to take the initiative to die.

After guessing this, Surman thought for a moment. When he understood the other party's psychology, he understood how to guide the topic:

"Actually, if you have some doubts in your life, I can be an audience, well... it's a tree hole to be precise."

"Tree Hole?"

Ibis first heard of this adjective and felt a bit strange. How could this kind of word be attached to people?

"Yes, there is a custom in my hometown called venting the tree hole..." Surman picked up a knife and fork, picked out a piece of bacon meat slice on the dining plate, and put it gently into his mouth to chew it: "When you encounter something unhappy, you can tell the tree hole. As we all know, the tree hole will not respond to your confession... Well, I mean an ordinary tree hole, not an extraordinary life."

"When you vent your depression in your heart through these ways... With this catharsis, you will feel relaxed physically and mentally. This is called the 'tree effect' in our hometown. To achieve its precondition, you need an object to tell."

Ibis listened attentively, and with her experience, she couldn't help but sigh: "This...is a very interesting method, it sounds very useful. Oh my God, if I didn't know you, I almost thought you were a psychologist."

Among the civilized city-states in the cold soil of the north, due to the development of the steam industry, there are many modern high-paying occupations, such as psychologists, who themselves originated from the evolution of ancient occupations. It is said that in the second era, that is, the Silver Age, they were once called spiritual priests, which specifically guided patients with mental problems, and were very respected by ordinary people.

Psychologist...Surmann felt aroused in his heart. This is a secondary profession, and the employment conditions are very high, so it is extremely difficult to start.

However, the talent and expertise brought by the psychologist after the maximum level is also relatively powerful.

For example, if it is a Sun Knight, when she is promoted to psychologist LV10, she will obtain a "Sun Dedication" talent, which can strengthen the target's mind and be immune to negative states such as illusion, nightmares and frenzy to a certain extent. The specific effect depends on the skills, the target's physical attributes, the person who is negatively affected... and other conditions.

If you are a Night Knight, you will gain the ability of "Darkness of the Night". You can influence the target's mental thinking through body language, behavioral hints, emotional outflow in your eyes, etc., manipulate the other party, and even make her a slave to her, seeking her... Both are obviously psychologists, but their talent tendencies are definitely different.

The same secondary profession will also activate different talents in the hands of extraordinary people in different systems.

This is an extraordinary system in the Eternal Night World. Even the same Night Knight has huge differences due to different secondary professions and talents, not to mention different branches under the system, such as arcane mages and secret mages, and warriors of the three major branches.

Before Surman could think about it, ahead, Ibis seemed to make up his mind. She looked up and said, "I... I actually came from a single-parent family. I mean, my mother assumed her own role and played the responsibility of her father."

"Yeah." Surman nodded slightly, expressing that he heard it but did not respond.

As a "qualified" tree hole, you should know how to remain silent and play a wooden man. If he reacts, this will make the confidant feel pressure and even stop the confidant...

Seeing his reaction, Ibis breathed inexplicably relieved.

For some reason, although the other party was silent, she felt inexplicably at ease...

Mr. Surman, it's really reassuring.

With some random thoughts, Yibis lowered his head slightly and recalled himself—

"I experienced my whole childhood under my mother's own education, but I don't know whether it was the influence of my father or... or my mother's personality, she asked me to follow the planned route, like a character in a stage script, step by step towards her expectations."

"I originally accepted everything, but... but until one day, she suddenly told me that I would accept her job... Oh, I mean accepting her job, that was a relatively rough job... Yes, very rough! The fisherman, she is a fisherman who has been digging rivers and canals under ice for many years and hunting fish from them. I don't like that kind of job!"

Ibis's voice rose slightly, as if using the high notes to cover up her guilt.

Simply put, you don’t want to be a warrior...Surman silently complained in his heart. As a rebirth, he certainly knew the true situation of the other party and the noble priest who was criticized as a "fishing woman". Tsk, indeed, the more beautiful the girl is, the more lie it is.

Surman secretly despised the other party, without any self-awareness, and unaware that the number of lies he lies was several times higher than that of the other party.
