Lind came into the greater reception hall with the smell of good food and hum of conversation. He was still surprised at how limited telepathic contact was even under the Crimson Harmony Law Crystal.
In the palace, it was fairly easy but the farther away, the more limited it became. Also, the last million years had made it reflex to speak aloud but his own telepathy was massively enhanced even at the border of the Rubyfire Kingdom's fallen lands.
At present, there were easily 100 people mingling in the hall but he sensed easily 10,000 more in the surroundings. Some were mingling due to lower status but others were soldiers or guards.
Chu seemed to sneer as she realized they were the strongest people in the room by far. Despite the benefits of the crystal to the royal family, the Corruption still mitigated their strength.
It was part of why Nest's attack was so devastating. He could pull out his full power due to his protection from the Great One.
