Chapter 207 The Githyanki Starport(1/5)
"Quick...go! Leave me alone!"
The female knight who fell to the ground dying sent a farewell signal to her mount companion.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the alliance between the red dragon and the Githyanki, like all evil alliances, is nothing more than mutual use.
But there are also many groups who work together to deal with the powerful mind flayers, and gradually develop feelings for each other as they get along day and night.
Obviously, the pair in front of us should be in a similar situation.
But it's a pity that from the moment Zuo Si made a move and showed up, the outcome was already doomed.
In other words, a mere young red dragon has no ability to survive his rapid attack.
The red dragon dragged its injured body and didn't run very far.
Davian, who remained invisible and was waiting on the road he must pass, jumped deep and high, raised the magic adamantine war hammer in his hand and smashed it hard.
Boom!!!!!
With a violent impact and loud noise, the young red dragon's head hit the ground, making a small crater.
The crystallized ground was like a spider web, splitting into a large area of dense lines in an instant.
Because it was somewhat blinded by four ice storms, the dragon did not notice the sudden attack at all, and its hard skull shattered on the spot in front of Davian's terrifying power.
The brain matter spurted out from the eardrums, nostrils and other places under the violent concussion.
If it were another type of young dragon, it would probably lose consciousness instantly even if it didn't die suddenly after being hit like this.
But the red dragon is indeed the most ferocious and cruel of all dragons.
Even though his mind was not clear, and even his eyes were covered with plasma and he couldn't see clearly who the enemy was, he opened his mouth and breathed out a deadly breath of flames.
Instantly!
The hot cone-shaped flames directly turned the tunnel ahead into a purgatory.
Unfortunately, Dragonborn Knight Davian was completely immune to fire damage, so he rushed up against the dragon's breath and hit the young dragon's head hard again.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
With almost every blow, you can see that the red dragon's head is visibly dented, his whole body is twitching violently uncontrollably, his brains are flowing along his eardrums, and his nostrils and eyes are flying outward.
When the last hammer was struck, the young female red dragon finally became motionless and completely dead.
"No!!!! Ashland Sachs!"
Seeing her mount and companion slain, the Githyanki female knight let out a wail of pain and despair.
If it had been anyone else, they might have resonated with or even sympathized with the friendship between one person and one dragon.
But the hard-hearted Zuo Si mocked meaningfully in dragon language: "Don't put on that disgusting look and make it look like we are evil people.
When you Githyanki and red dragon allies plundered and conquered the entire multiverse, you slaughtered and enslaved other races far more cruelly than this.
Don't worry, I will send you to another world to meet your mount now."
"You will pay for this! I curse you! Curse you to a bad death!" the female Githyanki roared with a ferocious expression.
"Sorry, your pitiful resentment is not enough to have even the slightest impact on me."
As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si pulled out the "Day Star" from his waist and inserted it directly into the other person's eye socket, penetrating the entire brain.
After finishing all this, he shook off the brains and blood stains on the sword blade, and said to the motionless corpse: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
"Master, how should I dispose of this dragon's body?" Davian asked in an uncertain tone.
"Put it up first. After this adventure is over, I will find an opportunity to use it to help you level up."
After that, Zuo Si directly released the three-ring [Shrinking Technique] on the dragon corpse, shrinking it just enough to fit directly into the dimensional bag.
After the body of the young red dragon was installed, Zuo Si peeled off a piece of enchanted plate armor from the body of the Githyanki female knight, a short black crystal staff like a staff, and a very straight and beautiful...
The silver sword.
Among them, the enchanted plate armor is made of mithril. Although it is a full-body heavy armor style, its actual weight is only half that of steel armor of the same volume and thickness. Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as medium-sized armor.
Moreover, it has constant mind protection magic on the surface, which can effectively resist the attack of the mind flayer.
As for the silver sword, after identification, it was found that it was not a real Githyanki silver sword, but a poor imitation with an enchantment level of only level 2, which could barely cut off the silver connections between astral travelers and their bodies.
line, thereby killing it instantly.
But it does not provide the holder with physical and mental strengthening like the genuine "Silver Sword".
If nothing else, this weapon should be a magical weapon specially developed and equipped by the Githyanki Empire for the Red Dragon Knight.
The last black crystal stick emitted arcane aura of conjuration system under detection, but it had no attributes.
"A short staff kept by the Red Dragon Knight? I think it should be something like a key or identification." Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered to himself.
"Master, do we want to continue moving forward?" the Dragonborn Knight asked in a low voice.
Zuo Si answered without hesitation: "Of course! If the Githyanki red dragon knight appears, it means that they have established a stronghold or outpost here. If nothing else, there should be a special place on this floor dedicated to breeding.
A fortress where young Githyanki are trained."
As we all know, unlike most humanoid races, they are viviparous.
The ancestors of the Githyanki were insanely genetically modified by their masters, the mind flayers, so it is very rare to lay eggs.
And their home base is in the star realm where time does not flow.
The advantage is that you will never age if you live there, and you don’t even need to eat or excrete.
But the disadvantage is that it also cannot get pregnant or lay eggs. Even if the eggs are laid, they cannot hatch and grow up.
Therefore, the Githyanki will establish strongholds on various physical planes in the multiverse, and allow men and women of suitable age to mate and lay eggs in the strongholds.
After the eggs hatch into newborns, they will stay in the base on the material plane and receive the baptism of time to grow up slowly and receive training from instructors in the astral realm until they become qualified warriors or spellcasters.
As for those who are unqualified, they will be eliminated and killed in the cruel competition.
Only those adult Githyanki who successfully pass the test are eligible to return to the Astral Plane to enjoy near-eternal life.
After walking some distance along the forward passage, Zuo Si quickly saw an area that looked like a barracks.
Ten Githyanki warriors rest on a bed of crystal.
Because their footsteps were very light, they were not disturbed and were still immersed in their sweet dreams.
Any living thing is most defenseless in its sleep.
So Zuo Si aimed at these ten Githyanki warriors and directly used the blank card in his hand.
The next second...
A large barrier wraps the entire room.
The latter suddenly woke up when he noticed something abnormal. Before he could figure out the situation, it turned into a group summoning creature card.
Although the levels of these novice warriors are not high, generally between LV3 and LV5, and they are all cannon fodder, there are three of them who are spiritual warriors.
It is a special class that is only found intact among the Githyanki and their cousins, the Githzerai.
Simply put, it is a mixture of warriors and psions. The fighting methods of certain schools can refer to the Jedi Knights in Star Wars.
No hesitation!
Zuo Si directly summoned all ten Githyanki in the card and began to ask about the specifics of this level.
You won’t know if you don’t ask, but you will be shocked if you ask.
It turns out that this is the sixteenth floor of Leyline Maze, also known as the "Crystal Maze".
But what shocked him was not the maze itself, but the "star port" on this level that led to the outer space of the planet Toril.
Yes!
You heard it right!
It's "Star Port"!
The Githyanki, who possess spaceships and the ability to travel astral planes, took over an asteroid in the "Tear of Selune" asteroid belt and built a "nursery" through the power of magic.
The main reason why they invaded Leyline Labyrinth is to hunt down the mind flayers hidden in the next level, and to provide a place for children who are about to reach adulthood to conduct trials and coming-of-age ceremonies.
The crystal short stick that the Red Dragon Knight got just now is the key to the portal of the "Star Port" base.
To be continued...
