Standing at the dock of the star port, Abala looked at the endless deep sky in the distance.
Although this is not the first time it has enjoyed such a scenery, it still feels a kind of shock that cannot be described in words.
For a tabby cat who has lived in the depths of an isolated tropical jungle since childhood, he originally thought that the size and prosperity of Askatra, the capital of the Amn Empire, was amazing enough.
But compared with the space scenery in front of us, the former is nothing.
Especially the huge planet Toril, which is so close at hand, makes Abala fully feel his own insignificance.
Zuo Si, who had just finished assembling the magic ship, saw this scene and immediately smiled and asked: "How is it? This scenery is beautiful and shocking, isn't it?"
"Yes. I can't believe in my dreams that one day I will be able to observe the whole world from such a place and perspective. It seems that accepting your conditions was not a bad thing. At least so far, this adventure has been
It's very interesting." Abala sighed with a smile.
"Believe me, it will become more interesting in the future. In addition, due to your outstanding skills and performance, I have decided to give you a salary increase. From the original fifty gold coins per month to two hundred and fifty gold coins, with Corgan and
Same as Rhett." Zuo Si announced his decision straightforwardly.
He found that in terrain with a relatively large drop in the highlands, the spotted cat people's excellent jumping and climbing abilities could easily rush to the enemies who had set up ambush at high places, and then cooperate with teammates' long-range attacks to kill them all.
This kind of flexibility and speed is something that traditional warriors like Korgan and Rhett do not possess.
In other words, Abala's hunter profession is closer to a mixture of warrior, ranger and assassin.
"Salary increase? Sounds good."
The reaction of the tabby cat person was obviously very cold.
Because he has no idea about the purchasing power of gold coins now. The primitive way of life in the past made it unnecessary to use currency at all. The tribes exchanged things with each other.
"Money can buy many things, such as your favorite fresh meat and spirits, as well as those armors and weapons, as well as all kinds of magic items."
Zuo Si tried to make the other party understand the concept and function of currency.
He had given Abala some gold coins before, but this guy spent them all in just a few hours.
Half of them lost everything in various small gambling games, and the other half bought a lot of messy things, from women's underwear and skirts to daggers, iron pots, cloth, salt, almost everything.<
/p>
But most of them are things that are not used at all, just like people in modern society on earth place a lot of orders on shopping websites, and then find that none of them are practical.
However, due to the unique values ​​of the spotted cat people, instead of feeling regret, they feel that it is a huge profit to exchange a pile of gold for so many things and happiness with no practical use.
Just as the two of them were talking, Old Cogan swayed out of the star port on two short legs, unbuttoned his belt as if no one else was watching, and began to pour water without politeness towards the distant planet Toril.
.
His actions not only stunned Abala, but even Zuo Si almost stopped.
Good guy!
Zuo Si called him a good guy!
You must know that normal people will inevitably feel a sense of awe for the vast universe when seeing this kind of beautiful scenery.
But this evil dwarf warrior is better off. He just treats space as a public toilet where you can urinate and defecate anywhere, without any scruples at all.
After finishing all this, he did not forget to shake vigorously, then he pulled up his pants and muttered something quietly, then turned around and returned to the inside of the asteroid.
When the dwarf was completely gone, Zuo Sicai held his forehead and complained: "No wonder Korgan's fighting style is so wild. It turns out that he is a madman without any respect at all. Maybe... he may be one of the very few on this continent.
A truly unbelieving person would dare to charge forward with weapons even when faced with a real god."
"Maybe you are right. He is the most fearless warrior I have ever seen. No matter how powerful the enemy is, his bloodthirsty desire cannot be shaken." Abala commented, stroking the thick hair on his chin.
Because he has always known very well that Korgan did not use his most powerful ability - rage during the sparring.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hold on for that long.
"Yes. Korgan's hometown was destroyed by the dark elves, so he has always maintained an unforgettable hatred in his bones, and used it as a motivation to hone himself. It is estimated that the uncontrollable bloodthirsty impulse is the most intuitive manifestation of this emotion
.Here, put on this protective soul necklace, and then we will enter the seventeenth floor of Leyline Maze City to deal with those mind flayers."
With that said, Zuo Si handed over a handmade immunity mind control necklace.
According to information provided by Ellon and other Githyanki, the seventeenth level of the underground maze is also called the "deep sea", where mind flayers and the slaves they control reside here.
Every once in a while, their leader Ith Amidon, a Soul Eater who is more advanced than ordinary Mind Flayers and is also called a Mind Flayer, will transplant mature tadpoles into the brains of slaves in large quantities.
Then transform it into a new mind flayer.
It is through this method that the mind flayers are able to withstand fierce attacks from the Githyanki and red dragon allies time and time again.
In addition, in the middle of the seventeenth floor, there is a turbine generator similar to spiritual power, which can produce amazing energy.
The Githyanki once tried to capture this place, but the horrific energy blast released by the generator killed many people, and they finally had to give up for the time being.
Erlon felt that since the mind flayer had established a psychic generator, there must be a psychic warehouse and a shell ship deeper down.
The former is a magical device that can put captured humanoids into deep sleep.
Normally, the creatures put into the psychic energy warehouse are carefully selected to have the best physical qualities and are most suitable for being parasitized by tadpoles and transformed into excellent hosts for mind flayers.

As for the shell ship, it is an out-and-out "black technology".
Not only can it fly for a long time, but it can also jump to other planes through the astral realm, which is equivalent to a psychic version of a magic ship.
Therefore, for Zuo Si, the deep sea on the seventeenth floor of the Lost City is a place that hides many treasures and is worth spending time to explore.
Just like this, after making some repairs in the star port, the group quickly entered the seventeenth level along the passage opened by the Githyanki.
Just after passing through the dark tunnel, they felt the darkness and damp environment.
At the same time, there was the roar of water coming from a distance.
You don't need to ask to know that the Mind Flayer used psychic energy and a large number of slaves to build a dam at the place with the largest drop in the underground river plateau, and that's where the psychic generator is located.
Since they had just been attacked by the Githyanki not long ago, there were no traces of mind flayer activity along the way, only a few traps and monsters scattered around the tunnel.
Along the way, Zuo Si also noticed some corpses of Furu, a magical creature that looked a bit like a large jellyfish on the ground.
This is a friendly creature that can fly quickly in mid-air by jetting gas, and also possesses a certain degree of psychic ability.
Their bodies are oval-shaped, with only a huge mouth on top, but without any teeth.
The two eyes are located at the front of the tentacles directly above the body, and like the eye stalks of the beholder, they can rotate 360 ​​degrees at will without any dead ends.
Under the body are a large number of tentacles ranging from light blue to dark blue.
They mainly rely on the spiritual power of sucking psychic creatures to meet their survival needs, but they do not make the sucked person feel uncomfortable or endanger their lives.
Therefore, both the Githyanki and the mind flayers view Furul as a nasty pest.
Once discovered, they will be killed immediately.
But for ordinary adventurers, this kind of friendly, intelligent creature that possesses a lot of strange and weird knowledge is a good source of information.
In addition, Furu is very sensitive to the emotions of all living things, and will express its emotions by changing its color. Light pink is joy, dark blue is sadness, green is curiosity, and dark red is anger.<
/p>
And these corpses, without exception, are dark blue, symbolizing sadness.
Zuo Si had read a detailed introduction to Furus in the Monster Ecology compiled by Elminster, so he had a little understanding of this interesting creature.
"What is this? Is it a jellyfish from the Underdark? Can it be eaten?"
Pyromancer Alaina knelt down and poked Furu's elastic body, with a curious expression on her face.
She even wanted to use the dagger she carried to cut off a piece and put it in her mouth to taste it.
Fortunately, Zuo Si quickly stopped this reckless behavior and scolded angrily: "Idiot! Are you crazy? Furus are intelligent creatures and possess extremely high intelligence and psychic abilities. If you eat this stuff, you will
It will immediately show an extremely chaotic and evil crimson color under the camp detection magic."
"Huh? This thing is an intelligent creature!"
Alena's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. She simply couldn't believe that something like a jellyfish could have thinking and independent consciousness.
Not only him, but everyone else in the team is also very different.
After all, Furu lives in the Underdark or the Star Realm most of the time, hiding near racial communities with psychic abilities such as the Mind Flayers and Githyanki, stealing their spiritual energy for food, and rarely appears in the physical world.
Almost 99% of adventurers have never seen the surface of the world.
