Mysterious, but Naruto

Audrey didn't want to accept any of the three proposals Louis put forward.

I won't go into the other two options; who would want their memories, such a private thing, to be manipulated?

Even the first option was meant to leave an imprint of Louis's mind on him, essentially leaving a backdoor in his brain.

Louis knew what Audrey was thinking, and he was helpless about it.

"Aside from that, there are other ways, but the problem is that you've only just started refining chakra, and you haven't even started learning ninjutsu yet."

Otherwise, once your mental strength and resistance to illusions increase, you'll be able to do these things yourself.

Audrey immediately became interested: "Mr. Rokudo, can I also learn these ninjutsu and genjutsu you mentioned?"

Louis nodded casually: "Of course, let's not talk about the latter two options for now. Once you've learned illusion magic, you can implement the first option yourself."

At that time, you can even choose to cast different types of illusions on yourself.

Illusions that are very simple and can be dispelled almost immediately upon contact with any external spiritual force are very suitable as the outermost warning mechanism.

Then, you can set up a more powerful illusion inside. This way, if the opponent wants to invade your mind, they will have to break through this illusion first, turning it into a protective barrier for you.

Audrey's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she quickly became disappointed. There was nothing she could do; she simply couldn't do it right now.

In the end, Audrey made up her mind and allowed Louis to cast a sealing spell on her.

Rather than having her memory altered, she felt she would rather have her mind branded.

After all, for these believers, it's as if they've already been branded by the gods.

In Audrey's view, even if Louis was not a god, he was still a terrifying being, so it was only natural that he would brand her.

After the other party made their choice, Louis's eyes instantly turned from black and white to blood red.

Before Audrey could even get a clear look at what Louis's eyes actually looked like, her own eyes went out of focus.

At the same time, the two figures appeared in a vast white space.

Before the girl could react, Louis spoke first.

"This is your mental space."

Of course, such a space does not actually exist; it is merely a figurative representation.

Now, I will leave two illusions for you here.

As soon as she finished speaking, Audrey noticed that she had a necklace around her neck.

"This is the first illusion, used for detection. If any external mental energy probes in, this necklace will shatter and disappear immediately, and you will know then."

Immediately afterwards, Audrey discovered that her light green dress had transformed into a magnificent court gown.

Similar in style to Briat's robes, this is a full-body outfit with a tight-fitting top and close-fitting lining, presented in a striking bright red, and adorned with gorgeous white lace sleeves.

"This is the mental defense barrier I left for you."

If the other party is only reading your most superficial, actively radiating consciousness, then you will not be affected in any way, and even the outermost warning will not be triggered.

Even if the other party only superficially probes your thoughts at the time, rather than further probing your memories, they will not actually collide with this defense.

Only when the other party actively explores your memories will you collide with this final illusion.

Of course, this is just a wisp of power I left behind, so I can't guarantee that the opponent absolutely cannot break through, but at least it can provide some resistance.

Audrey was quite satisfied with this, and she twirled around in place, holding up her gorgeous long dress.

Then, she lifted her skirt with both hands and spread it to the sides, bent her knees and stepped one foot back, lowering her body by about a head's height, performing a formal curtsy.

"Dear Mr. Rokudo, thank you very much for your help."

Louis was still not used to the other party's etiquette and elaborate attire.

Because in his view, these things all belong to a kind of discipline.

Only by adhering to this set of cumbersome rituals and supporting those who dress in such elaborate manners can one be absorbed into the existing power centers and into their own circle.

It's not that discipline is always wrong, but Louis believed that discipline should not be against human nature.

When a set of so-called etiquette becomes so cumbersome that ordinary people can't remember it, or a set of clothes becomes so inappropriate that one simply can't wear them, then in Louis's eyes it is considered rubbish.

However, Louis himself adhered to the principles of "none of your business" and "none of my business".

As long as this set of inhumane rules doesn't fall on him, he won't get involved.

For example, the defensive illusion that Louis set up for Audrey, out of respect for their culture, is an outfit that fits their culture.

After doing all this, Louis severed the mental link, and the two of them simultaneously exited the mental space.

Louis's eyes also returned to their original state.

Even a fleeting glimpse made Audrey wonder if she had seen it wrong.

Actually, Louis had previously used the Rinne Sharingan.

That's right, in order to set up this final illusionary defense for Audrey, he directly borrowed power from Ōtsutsuki Shibaki.

The warning illusion spell cost almost nothing, but the defensive illusion spell cost Louis at least a month of his lifespan.

Despite what Louis said before, this was just one aspect of his power, and it remains to be seen whether it can withstand the probing of "The Fool".

In fact, Louis put a lot of thought into it. It looks like just a defense, but there are actually other measures in it.

Once this defensive illusion is broken, in order not to expose his own information, Louis added a backup plan: he would instantly erase all of Audrey's memories related to himself.

Beneath this, Louis had actually concealed an even more crucial defensive illusion: a backup of Audrey's previously erased memories was left behind.

In this way, Louis can also choose whether or not to restore the other person's memory, depending on the situation.

This most crucial illusion is hidden deep within Audrey's memory, and it can only be discovered if the other party probes every inch of Audrey's memories.

Once this core illusion is broken, Louis will have no choice but to apologize to Audrey.

Because what's hidden underneath is actually a psycho-bomb.

It will explode instantly, completely obliterating Audrey's spirit in the first instant, preventing the other party from finding her by following any clues.

If you're lucky, the mental bomb might even kill the other person when it explodes.

Of course, Louis was a kind-hearted man, and in order not to worry the girl in front of him, he decided not to tell her.

Having done this, Louis felt much more at ease, as it also reduced the possibility of him being exposed.

Not only that, Louis also picked up the bronze mirror that had been on Audrey's dressing table.

Now that he himself has come here, this "window" has become superfluous.

In fact, it not only disappeared, but also became a possible trail to Louis.

However, he did not destroy the bronze mirror directly. Instead, he planned to keep it with him and study why it could connect to his space later when he had time.

Louis stretched out his right hand, and the space in front of him spontaneously began to distort, revealing a spatial wormhole behind which was Louis's divine tree space.

After placing the bronze mirror into the space, Louis casually broke off a very thin root from the sacred tree.

Don't be fooled by the appearance of this divine tree in this space; it is essentially a being capable of devouring the energy of the world.

Even if someone like Audrey were allowed to attack at will, it would be difficult to harm the sacred tree in front of them in the slightest.

But in Louis's hands, its roots were easily broken off.

Louis twisted and entangled the root, eventually weaving it into a wooden bracelet.

The next moment, Louis's eyes changed again, and Audrey finally saw the lines in his eyes.

Just as Audrey was wondering about Louis's eyes, she saw him hand her the bracelet.

"Here, take this bracelet. As for the mirror, I'll take it with me."

You can try inputting chakra into it. Firstly, I left a coordinate inside. As long as you touch that coordinate, I will know that you want to find me. At that time, I will open a spatial rift like this.

Secondly, this bracelet was made by me using the roots of the Divine Tree, and it can be freely transformed under the influence of chakra.

Following Louis's instructions, Audrey first tried to communicate with the coordinates inside the bracelet and learned how to contact Louis.

Then, under the influence of chakra, the bracelet transformed into a small dagger.

"There is no limit to the size that this bracelet can transform into. As long as you have enough chakra, you can even make it bigger than the whole world."

Moreover, due to the materials used in its construction, it is extremely sturdy; you can use it for self-defense now.

Audrey experimented with transforming the bracelet into various shapes: daggers, rapiers, scimitars, ribbons, vases, forks, and so on.

After finally transforming it back into the shape of a bracelet, Audrey thanked Louis once again.

Louis waved his hand, indicating that none of this mattered.

"These are nothing. Tell me about this country and this city."

I've been asleep for a while, but now that I'm awake, I'm ready to come out and have a look around. Can you tell me about it?

"It's my pleasure!"

That's what she said, but Audrey was also a little troubled; she didn't know where to begin.

The final decision was to begin by describing the situation in the world as a whole.

"Well, there are seven countries in the entire Northern Continent: the Kingdom of Rune in the east, Fusak in the north, Feneport in the south, Intis in the west, and three small countries surrounding Feneport."

These three small countries, namely Remnburg, Segal, and Masy, are all monotheistic countries that believe in the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.

Other countries are all multi-faith countries. For example, our Kingdom of Rune has churches belonging to four major churches: the Church of the Goddess of Night, the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and the Church of the Earth Mother.

The other major countries are in similar situations.

On the southern continent, which corresponds to our northern continent, there were originally two Bailang kingdoms, one in the east and one in the west.

Since Emperor Rosell discovered the sea route to the southern continent, it has become a colony of various countries, such as our Kingdom of Rune, which also has colonies in both the eastern and western Byron kingdoms…”

Louis nodded, feeling that the sound was somewhat familiar, just like in his original world, where Europe colonized Africa.

"The city beneath our feet is the capital of the Kingdom of Rune, and it has other names such as 'City of All Capitals' and 'Land of Hope'."

In terms of geographical location, it is situated in the central part of the kingdom, only a few dozen kilometers from the Sunia Sea to the south.

The Tasok River diagonally divides the city into 11 main boroughs: Queens, West, North, Hillston, Joewood, St. George, South Bridge, East, Backlund Bridge, Docklands, and Factory.

Louis nodded: "So, what are these districts mainly divided into based on?"

"The western part of Queens is a residential area for the top aristocracy and the wealthy, with an elegant environment and many mansions."

The West End is adjacent to Queens and is also a traditional affluent area with good security and complete living facilities;

Hillston is the economic, commercial and financial center of the Kingdom of Loen, home to the Backlund Stock Exchange, the headquarters of major banks and the railway company;

The North District is the political and religious center of the kingdom, where the Kingdom's Parliament and the Church of St. Samuel of the "Goddess of the Night" are located.

The St. George district is located near the dock area in the west of the city, and is home to warehouses, factories and workers' housing. The St. Hillland Cathedral of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery is located here.

The Joewood district is a relatively quiet area where the middle class and ordinary civil servants live. The Holy Wind Church of the Lord of Storms is located here.

Located on both banks of the Tasok River, the Beckland Bridge district is a transportation hub connecting the east and west of the city, and is a mixed commercial and residential area.

South of the bridge is located south of Backlund Bridge. Similar to the Jowood district, it is a residential area for ordinary people, and the Harvest Church of the Church of Mother Earth is also located there.

As for the eastern district, it was the poorest and most chaotic working-class and slum area in Backlund, with numerous factories, appalling conditions, and extremely poor sanitation...

Louis listened and nodded, and at the same time, his eyes changed again, but this time it was not the Rinne Sharingan, but the Byakugan.

The moment he activates his Byakugan, the world in his eyes changes instantly, transforming from color to black and white.

Moreover, its field of view has become a 360-degree view with no blind spots, directly taking in the scene within a 10-kilometer radius.
