There is no day or night in Akron, but the people here still need to rest and sleep, and the spell slots and psionic points consumed by the caster and the manifester need to be fully rested before they can automatically recover.

After a night's rest in Vault 13, Roland's and his party recovered their physical, magical, and psionic abilities to their best, and after breakfast, they said goodbye to Holmonx, Maria, and the little ones in the Vault, preparing to launch a general assault on the headquarters of the Cult of Maniacs.

For safety reasons, Roland left Jessica in the shelter and entrusted to Maria's care. The extraordinary psionic talent and hard life made the little girl's mind more mature than her actual age, and she said goodbye to Roland very sensibly, and told the eldest brother to "be more careful" with reluctant tears, "I will pray for everyone in the shelter and wish you a safe return".

When Roland saw Jessica praying, he couldn't help but think of the first time he saw her the day before yesterday. At that time, he accepted Jessica's commission and promised to find her parents who were away, and Jessica reluctantly said goodbye to him, childishly and solemnly offered him blessings, praying that he could return safely with her parents.

Unfortunately, only a third of her prayers were fulfilled. When Roland returns, he doesn't bring back her parents, and he deceives her with lies and magic, hoping that she will never find out what happened to her parents.

Roland didn't know how long he could fool Jessica with his lies he had concocted, and this time, he didn't want to disappoint her again.

"Jessica, big brother assures you that those who leave Vault 13 at this moment will return safely, and when we meet again, there will be no more fanatics in Akron." Roland made a solemn promise.

Jessica nodded vigorously, her tense little face was unusually serious, and her teary eyes were full of anticipation, believing in an almost reverent attitude that Roland would definitely be able to fulfill his promise.

"Mr. Roland, can I disturb you for two minutes?" Mary asked, a little sheepishly.

Roland saw the clue in her eyes, and asked with a smile: "I guess you want to ask me about Colossa, this is a good time, he and those two little imps of the Zion family are not nearby, we can talk freely." ”

Maria's pale cheeks flushed strangely, and she shook her head repeatedly, "You misunderstood, I didn't want to inquire about this kind of thing...... Actually, I want to follow you to the Cathedral of the Maniacs, although my combat ability is not worth mentioning, at least I can help you bless the magic and heal the pain. ”

Roland nodded knowingly, "Personally, of course, you are welcome to join, this will be a decisive battle that will determine the fate of the 'sober', and one more helper will have one more chance of winning." ”

"You are so right, but unfortunately Mr. Gerofa doesn't think so! It doesn't make sense that kids like Audrey and Holden can fight, and he won't let me leave the shelter! Maria coughed violently with excitement, and her skeletal body trembled.

When Roland saw her like this, he suddenly regretted his previous hasty statement, and instead agreed with Colossa's position even more. Maria's constitution was so weak that it was blown down by almost a gust of wind, and it was murder to let her go into battle.

"Mr. Roland, you are the best friend of Colossa, and the person he respects the most, and if you could say a few words for me, he would not refuse." Mary's eyes were full of pleading.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think I have that much weight in the eyes of Grofa," Roland shrugged and smiled bitterly, "I'll pass on your request, and it's not up to me to decide whether he agrees or not." ”

"This has already helped a lot, thank you so much!" Mary bowed deeply to him gratefully.

Roland tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to ask why she had to ask for Grofa's permission. It was her freedom to go wherever she wanted, and Grofa had no power to decide for her. But after thinking about it, he secretly laughed at his incomprehension and almost asked a stupid question.

With the drudgery entrusted by Mary, Roland went to Colossa, pulled him to a secluded place to convey Maria's request, and waited for him to reply with the attitude of watching a good show, but he did not see the expected embarrassment in Colossa's face.

"Have you ever thought about the possibility that, in the worst-case scenario, our expedition could fail, or even be wiped out." Colossa asked Roland with a calm, almost indifferent.

"It's true that this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"In that case, what if Mary also dies with us in the Cathedral of the Zeals, the 'sobers' of Vault 13? Who else will be able to provide food for children and cure diseases in the future? Grofa sighed, "Maria must stay in the Vault just in case, so that even if we all die in the Cathedral of the Zeals, Vault 13 can at least survive, and look forward to the next group of adventurers coming to Akron to save them." ”

Roland had to admire the Canaanite prince's calmness, "After staying in Akron for three days, you can still maintain such sanity, which really makes the evil god who created the Nightmare City very shameless." ”

Corophas couldn't help laughing, "Don't mention Mary again, I have one more thing to tell you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I know you're good at psionic too, but I don't see what kind of psionic profession you are, can you reveal that?"

This question made it difficult for Roland to answer. It's not that he deliberately conceals it, but he really can't figure out what kind of psionic profession he is, after all, his manifest power is not obtained through normal channels at all, but is half-coaxed and half-deceived by a dirty behind-the-scenes transaction with the goddess sister, which is really a bit difficult to talk about.

Grofa saw his distress and smiled understandingly: "If it's inconvenient to disclose, just tell me how many abilities you are good at, and how many psionic points you have." ”

There was nothing unspeakable, and Roland readily revealed the psychic abilities he had mastered.

After hearing this, Glofer looked strange: "Good at the time field, mastering crystal fragments, psychic stabs, psychic blasts, mind-control strategies, headshots, brain cutting, energy barrage, psionic dissociation, purgatory, uncertain whereabouts and other very practical abilities, as well as the 'dimensional hand', an ancient ability that I have never heard of and has long been lost...... I envy your list of abilities. ”

"It's okay, it's all a coincidence, for example, this time in the process of hunting the madman in Akron, I obtained three 'Expanding Knowledge' Mystery Stones, and I was lucky enough to learn the 'Purgatory Path', 'Uncertain Whereabouts' and 'Brain Cutting Technique'." Roland faked a little modesty.

"But you have so few psionic points compared to the abilities you have, only 46, which is not enough for you to make the most of those powerful abilities." When Colossa finished boasting, he brought a stick by the way.

"That's really a problem...... Roland scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "After all, I'm not a real psionic professional, and it's hard to get psionic points." He can neither get more psionic points by increasing his class level, nor can he obtain additional psionic points by improving his manifest attributes, and the existing psionic points are all accumulated little by little by absorbing the arcane stones such as "primordial talent" and "enhanced psionic talent", which is not easy.

"I'm in the opposite situation with you." There was a look of excitement in Goropha's eyes, "List of Canaanite Templar abilities...... Frankly, it's very average, lacking the kind of powerful ability that can turn the tide of battle, but I have plenty of psionic points, a total of 153 points, if I use it myself, so many psionic points will not be used up at all, it's a pity to waste it in vain, why don't I lend you the extra psionic points, and at the same time we share psychic abilities, which is good for you and me. ”
