Chapter 249 The deadliest dagger always comes from behind
Taking advantage of the mind-destroying leader's thinking time, Zuo Si completed the nine-ring protection magic - Mordenkainen's Disintegration in a very covert manner.
However, the target he aimed at was not the mind flayer's shell ship, but two brass dragons enslaved by psychic powers.
I saw a dazzling and bright arcane light flashing past. The two brass dragons, which were "loyal" one second, suddenly regained consciousness the next second. With overwhelming anger, they turned around and rushed towards the shell ship, spraying out
A scorching ray of flame.
Since brass dragons are also fire-attributed dragons, their main breath weapon is also high-temperature flames.
But it is not like the red dragon, which is spread out in a cone shape, but a relatively wide straight line, and the temperature and lethality are far inferior to the former.
If necessary, the flame breath can also be converted into sleeping gas, which will only be used when you don't want to hurt anyone.
But now, the Brass Dragon, who had been enslaved for a long time, was obviously extremely angry, so he frantically breathed dragon breath around the shell ship, trying to force out the leader of the Heart-Destroying Demon inside and cut him into pieces.
Obviously, under the action of the Great Disintegration, the mind control originally attached to the dragon was completely lifted in just an instant.
In fact, there are two ways to use this famous magic.
One is aimed at a single target, maybe a person, maybe a magic item, but it won't affect the surroundings.
But there is another method that uses the locked target as the center to magically crack everything within a radius of about twelve or three meters, whether it is a magic effect or a magic item.
As long as the permanent magic items are within this range, they will 100% instantly turn into ordinary items.
The only difference is that some may only be temporarily disabled, while others may be directly destroyed.
You don't need to ask to know that Zuo Si just chose the latter and successfully turned two metal dragons from the good camp from enemies into allies.
"You will regret your choice!"
Realizing that he had been tricked, the Heartbreaker immediately said a harsh word through telepathy, and then tried to use the advanced psychic technology in the shell ship to bring the two brass dragons under his control again.
But unfortunately, the two dragons also developed a certain resistance while being enslaved for a long time.
After several consecutive psychic invasions failed, the Heart Destroyer decisively controlled the huge tentacles of the shell ship, trying to capture the crazy attacking dragon.
But how could Zuo Si let the other party get what he wanted? He immediately shaped the silver fire into the shape of arrows and hit those super-giant tentacles that were big enough to easily destroy a building.
The more he understands the silver fire given to his chosen ones by the goddess of magic, the more he likes to use it in battle.
No one else!
It is really easy to use and its power is quite amazing.
Because it is part of the essence of the goddess of magic, it can ignore many spell resistances and saving throws and cause damage to enemies in the form of pure energy.
As for what shape it is shaped into and what kind of energy it is expressed in, it all depends on the voters' own understanding of this primitive, manic and uncontrollable energy.
There is no doubt that as a planeswalker, Zuo Si has a natural advantage over others in understanding, controlling and transforming energy.
Therefore, the silver fire in his hands is far more powerful than in the hands of other voters.
Moreover, Silver Fire can be used in any situation without worrying about any irreversible serious consequences.
This is much wider than the electorate ability granted by Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, and it will not accidentally hurt yourself or innocent people.
As the silver rockets hit the giant tentacles of the shell ship one after another, one of the thick tentacles at the front finally withstood the damage beyond the limit and broke with a bang. The front half fell from the height to the ground, and was shocked.
There were large splashes of water and gravel.
You must know that the four super giant tentacles at the front of the shell ship are each more than fifty meters long. Even an adult dragon may not be able to bear it.
"Well done! Chosen! Work harder! Don't stop!" one of the brass dragons shouted in Common Tongue.
You know without asking that he recognized the Silver Fire, which is very famous throughout Faerûn.
Moreover, metal dragons and brass dragons of the good camp are often allies or potential allies with the chosen ones and harpists of the goddess of magic.
So based on this alone, the two dragons regarded Zuo Si as someone they could trust.
Zuo Si did not disappoint his two allies. Taking advantage of the fact that the Heart Destroyer controlled the shell ship to deal with the Brass Dragon and had no time to think about himself, he completed the nine-ring magic [Collapse Technique] as quickly as possible.
As you can tell from the name, this is a powerful evocation spell.
It can cause astonishing damage to the target and everything within a six-meter radius.
The shell ship, which had been roasted by the dragon flames for a long time and was only slightly charred, instantly cracked open under the influence of this spell, revealing a structure like the abdominal cavity and intestines of a living creature.
Especially the dark red squirming cell tissue spread on the floor, walls and ceiling, which makes people feel their scalp numb after looking at it.
Within these cell tissues, a large number of pipes and lines used to transmit spiritual energy can be vaguely discerned.
The entire appearance is like a psychic spacecraft carrying a giant conch shell octopus on its back, and it relies on things that outsiders cannot understand to operate.
The mind flayers realized that the outer wall of the spacecraft had been breached, and immediately swarmed in and tried to repair it.
But the brass dragon was obviously one step faster, rolling and diving down from a high place. With its strong spell resistance, it withstood the mind blast thrown by the mind flayer. It opened its mouth and aimed at the crack to spit out hot dragon breath. p>
Boom!!!!!!
Bright flames instantly poured into the passage like a tide, burning the mind flayer inside to charcoal in less than a second.
Although the brass dragon is far inferior to the red dragon, blue dragon, gold dragon and silver dragon in a one-on-one battle, it is still much stronger than these ordinary octopus heads.
Moreover, the flame breath caused damage to the interior of the shell ship, causing some interruption of energy transmission.
In the blink of an eye, this huge psychic spacecraft began to shake violently from side to side.
The leader of the Heart Destroyer realized that the shell ship would not be able to survive for long if this continued, so he frantically manipulated his thick and powerful tentacles in an attempt to knock the two dragons down from the sky.
Unfortunately, before those cumbersome tentacles could catch either of the two dragons, he saw huge and high-speed rotating iron balls flying over from a distance at extremely fast speeds.
The next second...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The five iron balls flying at the front directly crashed into the relatively fragile side of the shell ship, and killed a lot of people in the narrow passage.
Whether you encounter the Mind Flayer or the muscle tissue that blocks its progress along the way, they will be minced into bloody remains in just a few seconds.
By the time the leader of the Mind Destroyer reacted and activated the force field protection, it was already too late.
Although the subsequent iron balls that flew in were firmly blocked from the outside, they were unable to do anything to deal with the five flying in. They could only rely on the psychic powers of ordinary mind flayers to barely delay the speed of their destruction.
"Go to hell! Despicable and filthy bastards! I will purify your bodies and souls with flames!"
The brass dragon roared angrily and continuously used its breath weapon to destroy the force wall blessed on the surface of the shell ship, opening one channel after another for the iron balls flying around.
In less than six or seven minutes, the shell ship was so badly damaged that it had to fall from mid-air to the ground.
Boom!!!!!!!
After the deafening sound, the shell ship made a solid impact with the ground at zero distance, throwing two or three mind flayers out of it on the spot, causing them to fall dizzy.
Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent was completely defenseless, Zuo Si used [Talona's Favor] to knock them all out one by one and turned them into creature cards.
You must know that capturing these octopus heads is not an easy task.
Due to the strong idealistic nature of psychic energy, creatures that master this type of ability often have a very firm will.
Unless you completely lose consciousness, you will definitely resist fiercely during the sealing process, which will eventually lead to the failure of card production.
After dealing with these mind flayers, Zuo Si walked to the shell ship and waved the magic wand in his hand to stop the iron balls from continuing to damage the interior of the ship.
Because in his opinion, this shell ship is already his property and trophy, and if it is completely scrapped, it will be more loss than gain.
However, the two brass dragons did not think so. They still stayed in the air more than thirty meters above the ground, staring warily at the shell ship on the ground.
They know very well that ordinary mind flayers are no match for them.
The truly dangerous and terrifying thing is the leader of the other party, the mind-destroying demon known as Ith Amidon.
As soon as this guy comes out of it, the Brass Dragon will immediately swoop down and use its flame breath and sharp claws to settle the score of being enslaved over the years.
After all, whether it is a metal dragon from the good camp or a color dragon from the evil camp, they all have the skill of "holding grudges" to their core.
The only difference is that the metal dragon can at least make some sense, but the color dragon doesn't even make sense.
Possibly realizing that the shell ship could no longer provide him with any protection, the Mind Flayer Eth Amidon quickly walked out of it with the last few living Mind Flayers.
Behind them were more than thirty slaves dressed like elite adventurers.
After all, if you can enter the seventeenth floor of Earthline Maze City, it is basically impossible for anyone to be weak.
Cogan, Rhett, Abala, Assasla, Alena and others are also among them.
You don't need to ask to know that they are all controlled by the charm of psychic power at this moment, and the psychic protection necklaces worn around their necks have long since disappeared.
"Let me go, and I'll give you a quicker death."
Zuo Si gave the ultimatum straightforwardly, without any trace of nervousness, hesitation or hesitation of being a hostage in the opponent's hands.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill them?"
The heart-destroying demon Eth Amidon pulled Alena over from the side and threatened fiercely.
If he had chosen someone else, Zuo Si might have given it some thought.
But the pyromancer is a summoned creature and will not die in the true sense at all, so Zuo Siman made a gesture of invitation without hesitation.
"You can try to pry open her head and eat the brain in front of me to see if I will be moved at all. By the way, if you really do this, the consequences will be very serious."
Without a doubt!
Zuo Si's words instantly stunned Yisi Aimi.
He originally thought that even if the other party did not agree to his conditions, he would at least try to use release spells to bring these captives back to their senses, just like how he released the two enslaved brass dragons before.
But Zuo Si, on the other hand, acted like he didn't care about the life and death of his companions.
The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time. Finally, the Heartbreaker chose to take a step back and asked through telepathy: "What exactly do you want? Wealth? Fame? Power? Various magic items? As long as we
Yes, I can give you everything. There is only one condition, and that is to end the dispute and leave this level."
"Sorry, I am a very greedy person, so I want them all, even the broken shell ship behind you. So let's save the boring nonsense and let us decide in the simplest and most direct way.
, who can survive and get everything from the other person."
While speaking, Zuo Si directly activated a biological card hidden in his sleeve.
In the blink of an eye, four dead-eye tyrants appeared out of thin air. They immediately opened their main eyes and shot out cone-shaped anti-magic force fields.
Although psychic energy is very different from magic and divine arts, it is ultimately a kind of energy that will be suppressed by anti-magic force fields.
The Mind Flayer's hand-to-hand combat abilities are notoriously poor.
However, as a mind-destroying demon, Yisemiton obviously does not lose all his abilities when covered by an anti-magic force field like his lower-level counterparts.
On the contrary, he relied on his powerful spell resistance to break free from the shackles of the anti-magic force field, quickly transformed his spiritual energy into a high-frequency shock wave, and crashed directly into Zuo Si's location.
At the same time, this guy didn't forget to give attack orders to all enslaved creatures through the spiritual connection.
More than thirty controlled adventurers did not hesitate for a second, casting spells when they should, charging when they should, and shooting arrows when they should.
Even the two brass dragons that dived to attack were seriously injured by the ice storm released by a mage standing outside the anti-magic field.
In addition, an elf suspected of being a magic archer also shot an arrow containing astonishing necromancy magic energy, which accidentally hit the chest of one of the brass dragons.
The arrow not only tore through the strong dragon scales, but also penetrated deeply into the muscles, causing terrible damage to one of the most important organs, the heart.
This caused the entire dragon to fall to the ground, and blood spurted out from the wound crazily.
Although the dragon's vitality won't kill him for a while, if he doesn't receive timely treatment, it will only be a matter of time.
Judging from the power and enchantment level of the arrows, this is probably the most powerful skill of the magic archer - Death Arrow.
Any creature that is penetrated by such arrows and whose Constitution and Fortitude saving throws are not high enough will almost die suddenly on the spot, even giant dragons are no exception.
Seeing this, the other party did not dare to approach these adventurers with very high professional levels, so they quickly raised their altitude and retreated backwards.
But unfortunately, in this generally low underground depth, it is simply impossible to escape by flying.
In addition, the dragon itself is a very huge and easy target to lock and aim at. He was hit in the eye by a second arrow before he ran very far. He screamed and fell from a high place, and was besieged by several melee adventurers.
, and soon became scarred.
"You made a mistake! Human! That is, you shouldn't be our enemy. Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I will choose the strongest larvae to implant into your brain and transform you into one of us
One of the best."
Yisi Aimiton obviously hated Zuo Si very much, and his whole body exuded a terrifying evil spirit.
Because Zuo Si not only killed the giant mind flayers, which were the secret weapon used to deal with the Githyanki, but also killed a large number of newly transformed mind flayers, the "troops" he had finally replenished were in vain.
It was consumed for no reason.
You must know that successfully transforming a mind flayer is not an easy task.
The first is the problem of larvae - tadpoles.
These gadgets take at least ten years to grow, and most of them do not survive until the end (the survival rate is one thousandth or lower).
If you use underage larvae without authorization, the failure rate of transformation will be greatly increased.
And the conversion process takes up to a week.
This also means that unless there is a sufficient reserve of adult tadpoles and a sufficient number of slaves, it is impossible for the Mind Flayer to explode the population in a short period of time.
Yth-Emidon has already lost quite a few of his men in previous retaliatory actions against the Githyanki.
Therefore, many mind flayers in the seventeenth floor are newcomers who have just completed their transformation, and their control over psychic powers is far inferior to those of mind flayers who have lived for more than fifty years.
After Zuo Si made such a fuss, the seventeenth floor is now basically in a state of defenselessness.
If the Githyanki on the level above discover this and mobilize their forces to launch a fierce attack, Ith Amidon will have no other option but to abandon everything and run away.
Likewise, this will also lead to the plan he spent countless thoughts and energy formulating being in vain.
"Hmph, wishful thinking.
Through the lessons of the Githyanki and Githzerai, haven't you noticed yet?
In fact, you mind flayers have a very huge flaw, that is, you rely too much on slaves.
Especially for a leader like you, one person often has to control dozens or even hundreds of slaves. For this reason, he even has to create an illusion to accommodate the consciousness of those slaves.
In other words, as long as they kill you or make you unconscious, these enslaved adventurers will regain consciousness instantly."
As Zuo Si spoke, he activated several magic cards to isolate the adventurers who wanted to besiege him.
"Kill me? Can you do it alone? I highly doubt it." There was a hint of ridicule in Isemiton's tone.
In the eyes of this mind-destroying demon, there are so many enslaved adventurers around him. Even if the other party throws another big crack, it will only bring three or five people back to their senses, and it will not have a decisive impact on the current overall situation.
"Haha, when did I say that I was alone? In addition, haven't you heard that the strongest fortress is always breached from within, and the deadliest dagger always comes from behind?"
Speaking of this, Zuo Si suddenly paused, and then shouted bluntly: "What are you waiting for? Do it!"
As the last word blurted out, a Mind Flayer standing less than half a meter behind Eth Amidon suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger and stabbed him in the back of the heart at lightning speed. The Heart Destroyer didn't expect that his subordinate would betray him. He turned around and his eyes burst out with shock and anger that could not be concealed. He suddenly raised his arm and released a spiritual shock, knocking the latter violently away. p>
You don't need to ask to know that this mind flayer was summoned by Zuo Si through the creature card before.
Since he was never a member of this mind flayer community and was simply captured by the Githyanki, he managed to sneak in and lurk with little effort.
It wasn't until the master gave the order that he took off the disguise and revealed his true face.
It has to be said that the timing of this backstab was just right.
And when Isemiton pulled out the dagger from his back, he found that it was smeared with neurotoxin. Not only did the wound not feel pain, but it was sore and numb.
What's even worse is that within a few seconds, half of his body lost consciousness, his consciousness became increasingly blurred, and he was unable to enter a state of concentration for casting spells.
Several times I tried to use psychic powers to transform into forms to avoid being affected by the poison, but in the end all failed without exception.
Because the toxin smeared on that dagger is known for its quick effect and violent toxicity.
After a while, Isi Aimiton's eyelids started to twitch, and then he slowly lost his perception and awareness of the surrounding environment.
As soon as he fainted, the adventurers who were trapped in the illusion woke up from the gentle land and immediately turned their spearheads to kill the last few remaining mind flayers.
By the time the battle was over, the few remaining mind flayers were either chopped into pieces or surrendered and became prisoners.
Yes!
These mind flayers surrendered.
After all, they are just newcomers who have just completed their transformation, and they have not yet developed a strong sense of belonging to the Mind Flayer community and Eth Amidon, the leader of the Mind Flayers.
Coupled with the generally rational and self-protective way of thinking, it is normal to choose to surrender.
The two mind flayers, who were suspected of being technicians, even took the initiative to act as "leaders" and began to take Zuo Si to visit the interior of the shell ship and answer various questions he raised.
But unfortunately, after they told everything they knew, Zuo Si killed them without mercy, pried open the skull and took out the layer-protected brain inside.
Of course, not only these two mind flayers, but also the rest are dealt with in similar ways, either made into biological cards or killed and taken out of the brain, even Ith Amidon is no exception.
Although Zuo Si really wanted to include this psychic master in his collection.
But considering that the benefits of taking another method were greater, he decisively chose the latter.
After soaking the collected brains in a special magic solution to ensure that the cells would not die quickly, he turned his attention to the two dying brass dragons.
Due to excessive blood loss, both dragons have fallen into a deep coma, and their breathing is extremely weak, as if they may die at any time.
In particular, the arrows inserted in the chest and wrapped with astonishing necromantic magic energy have begun to erode the heart, and the surrounding muscles and blood have turned an appalling dark brown color. It is obviously not something that ordinary low-level magic can cure.<
/p>
It is necessary to use some high-level magic that requires the consumption of valuable and rare magic materials, or directly use the nine-ring wishing technique.
If it was "one of our own", Zuo Si would certainly not mind paying this price.
But the problem is that he has no friendship with these two brass dragons at all, and he doesn't even know their names. They are just temporary allies against the Mind Flayer.
"Well - what should I do with you?
Why not, let me ask for your opinions first.
If you are willing to die in obscurity like this, then just say something;
If you are unwilling to survive, then please remain silent, and I will make you a planeswalker card to immortalize yourself in another way.
Of course, the price is a small change in memory.
What’s your answer?”
Zuo Si asked in a pretentious manner.
But all fools understand that these two dying brass dragons can't make any sound at all, let alone answer.
So after waiting for a few seconds, Zuo Si smiled and said: "Since you are silent, I will treat it as your acquiescence. Don't worry, I won't change too much, I just want to ensure your loyalty.
."
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the power of the planeswalker's spark and turned the two dragons into cards in his hand.
At the same time, those adventurers who had just escaped from mind control and slavery were now in a mess.
Because they come from different adventure teams, and a small number of them have been in this ghost place for more than ten years.
When he thought that he had been controlled by the mind flayer for more than ten years and could become its food at any time, the adventurer couldn't help but shiver, and his whole body was shaking violently uncontrollably. p>
This is really a bit too scary and scary.
Some people from the good camp realized how many crazy things they had done while being controlled, and squatted on the ground with expressions of annoyance and remorse. They believed that their hands were stained with the blood of innocent people and that they were out-and-out sinners. Others have experienced great changes in their memory and personality because they have been controlled for too long, and have even become a little stupid, crazy, and even forgotten who they are.
However, Zuo Si obviously didn't have time to pay attention to them at the moment. He just checked the mental state of Alena, Rhett, Korgan and others. After confirming that there were no major problems, he walked in with the mind flayer he summoned.
Inside the shell ship.
Different from the darkness and narrowness imagined, the interior of the shell ship is not only very spacious, but the undamaged floors and walls show very exquisite lines and patterns. From time to time, you can still see the ghostly light emanating from the surge of spiritual energy.
Light is simply like a beautiful piece of art.
In addition, this thing seems to be alive. Even if it is so severely damaged, it is still trying to slowly repair itself.
Especially when they detect an intruder, they immediately begin to try to awaken those defensive forces, such as some thick tentacles or psychic devices.
But all this was stopped by the mind flayer following behind.
Since he was originally a member of this group, he was very familiar with the internal structure and operation of the shell ship.
After a while, he brought his master to the command room and control room.
Different from ordinary magic ship control rooms, there are no operating buttons and levers as many people imagine. It is just composed of some soft tentacles of different lengths and thicknesses.
Each tentacle represents a different psychic power, and only mind flayers who master psychic powers can control them.
When the shell ship needs to jump between dimensions or travel between planes, the person in charge of driving the ship will connect the two corresponding tentacles together, and then activate psychic energy to activate it.
In the middle of the control room, there is also a huge seat specially prepared for leaders or captains, which looks very comfortable.
When he walked in and took a closer look, Zuo Sicai was surprised to find that this thing was all made from the skulls of various intelligent creatures. It was an out-and-out evil psychic item that could be strengthened to some extent.
The mind flayer's psychic abilities.
After the summoned Mind Flayer fiddled with the control room for a while, he immediately put one hand on his chest, bowed deeply, and reported through the mind connection: "Master, I have urgently sealed all entrances and activated the corresponding
defense mechanism, and now this ship is yours."
After hearing this, Zuo Si immediately nodded with satisfaction: "Well done. How long will it take to completely repair it?"
The mind flayer replied without thinking: "If we can transfer the energy generated near the dam, it can be repaired in a few weeks to a month or two. But compared to this method, I have a better one.
Proposal."
"Oh? Tell me and listen."
Zuo Si seemed to have anticipated something, and immediately turned his attention to the brain dug out from the skull of Isemiton in his hand.
Although this thing has completely lost its perception of the outside world, it still continues to release amazing spiritual energy around it, and has tried to escape from the container more than once.
But unfortunately, the transparent container in his hand is not ordinary fragile glass, but industrially produced super tempered bulletproof glass.
Not to mention a few psychic impacts, even if it is used to withstand bullets, grenades, bombs and RPG rocket launchers, there is no problem.
"In fact, on this spaceship, our leader Isi Aimiton specially built a brain pool for himself.
He wanted to transform himself into the mastermind, and then take all the mind flayers to escape from the underground labyrinth controlled by the mad mage Halaster Blackrobe, and go to the city on the surface to establish a secret stronghold.
Then we will take this stronghold as the center and slowly expand and penetrate into the surrounding areas until the entire city is under our control.
For this purpose, a virtual illusion that can accommodate the consciousness of thousands of people was specially invented - a replica of Waterdeep City.
Once we control this city, we can use its abundant population and resources to launch wars with other countries until we conquer the entire world and turn the planet beneath our feet into our colony.
According to Ith Aimiton's description, similar situations have been successful in many planes throughout the multiverse.
The most important thing is that if the spacecraft has a master brain, it is equivalent to having a core that can continuously provide power, and as long as the master brain is not destroyed, it can repair itself infinitely.
There are enough mind flayer brains stored on this ship.
Therefore, I sincerely recommend that you use the brain of Eth Amidon to complete the master brain transformation ceremony."
The Mind Flayer bluntly told all the secrets he knew.
It has to be said that it is not unreasonable for these octopus heads to be regarded as a huge threat in any world.
Their consciousness and behavior patterns determine that the ultimate goal is to conquer, occupy and enslave all other intelligent creatures on the entire planet.
And there are really many successful examples, many of which are worlds with gods.
When the number of mind flayers reaches a certain scale, the psychic energy released by the most powerful masterminds united together can even fight or even kill gods.
"Help Eth Amidon complete the ritual of transforming the mastermind? How do you guarantee that he will obey my orders?"
Zuo Si's eyes were shining with eagerness, and he was obviously very interested in this matter.
Because every mastermind is the core of the mind flayer community and stores a large amount of psychic knowledge.
If he can control a mastermind, it means that he can help Rare Object and Isadora provide more psychic knowledge and skills for learning, and even go further to create psychic items and equipment.
"It's very simple. You only need to use some tricks during the transformation ritual to completely erase Is Amidon's consciousness, retaining only the knowledge recorded in his brain, and then create a mastermind that is 100% obedient to you, and when it becomes enough
Before it becomes powerful, make it and transform it into a card."
The mind flayer gave the solution without thinking.
I have to say that the benefits of having an "inner ghost" are huge and unimaginable.
Zuo Si experienced this once when he captured and controlled the Githyanki starport on the previous level.
Now he found the feeling of déjà vu again.
Especially creatures like the Mind Flayer, whose loyalty to their own race and ethnic group far exceeds the imagination of outsiders.
Therefore, they are not at all prepared and wary of similar people around them.
This is why the guy in front of him can easily use a poison-quenching dagger to successfully sneak attack a psychic master like Eth Amidon.
Zuo Si touched his chin and thought for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement: "Okay. Just do what you said. But let me state in advance that this mastermind must be strictly monitored and there must be no accidents."
"Please rest assured, I will ensure that the number of mind flayers under your control is always greater than the number it controls." The mind flayer vowed to give a guarantee.
"In that case, let's do it." Zuo Si gave the instruction straightforwardly.
"First of all, I need you to summon at least six companions to assist. Secondly, you must not be disturbed by any external factors during the entire ceremony. Finally, we also need to connect the energy generated by the dam, otherwise with this ship
The current state of the spacecraft is difficult to sustain until the ceremony is over."
The mind flayer made three demands in one breath.
Zuo Si didn't even hesitate and immediately fulfilled all his requests.
Soon, with the help of summoned creatures, a large amount of preparatory work began to proceed in an orderly manner.
However, it is obviously not an easy task to transfer the energy from the dam, and it will take at least several hours of work.
As for the adventurers outside who were originally controlled and enslaved, most of them immediately set foot on the road back to the surface in groups after understanding the situation.
There are only a few who have completely lost their memory and can't remember who they are or who their relatives and friends can rely on. They still stay where they are and look confused.
Of course, compared to those guys who are completely crazy and have no sense, they are still lucky.
Zuo Si saw with his own eyes several madmen rushing directly to the entrance to the next level. He estimated that the probability of survival was definitely less than one percent, but it did not prevent all of this from happening.
In his opinion, rather than living in such confusion, it would be better to die early and gain relief.
Just when Zuo Si was standing in the open space outside the shell ship supervising the progress of the project, the elf magic archer who almost shot two brass dragons with the terrifying [Death Arrow] suddenly came over from a distance and used a kind of
A very shy voice said: "Um...thank you for rescuing me from the enslavement of the mind flayer."
"You're welcome, I'm just doing it casually. After all, I don't want to face the terrible arrows you shot." Zuo Si responded in a half-joking tone.
The male elf, who could not tell his age, had a look of decline on his face, and he quickly bent down and bowed deeply: "I'm really sorry. By the way, where did the two brass dragons go? They are still alive.
?"
"Don't worry, although they were seriously injured, they are still alive." Zuo Si comforted casually.
But when the elf magic archer heard these words, his originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked excitedly: "Really? Are they really alive? I shot the death arrow!"
"Of course. They are giant dragons, and their vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary humanoid races. I am very curious, who are you that can shoot such powerful enchanted arrows?" Zuo Si looked at the other party with interest.
Exquisite and luxurious high-end enchanted chain mail...
Dragon boots made of adult dragon leather and magical power...
A super agility belt that can increase agility attributes by twelve points in one breath...
Gloves that can greatly improve the wearer's long-range weapon accuracy and critical hit rate...
Finally, there is a legendary grade compound bow whose arcane aura is enough to blind people...
All of this is enough to prove that the identity of the elf in front of you is definitely not simple.
And judging from the skin color and appearance, this is a sun elf that is even rarer than the moon elf, and can also be called a golden elf.
He has bronze skin, golden hair, and even the color of his pupils are golden, hence his name.
In the continent of Faerûn, most of the sun elves have gone to the Evermeet Island in the outer sea, so they rarely appear within the sight of humans.
Even if it appears occasionally, it often means shouldering some important responsibility and mission.
Unlike other elven branches and sub-races that are undisciplined, sun elves pursue a rigid elitism and hierarchy.
Everyone within it determines their future development path from the moment they are born.
The aristocratic families who are the upper class rulers, without exception, can trace their roots back to the First Crown War 10,000 years ago.
They are the most arrogant and arrogant elves, and they are also the most powerful elves, with more than three digits of high-level mages.
You must know that the high-level wizards of the elves are not modern wizards who rely heavily on the magic network, but are strong men who use ancient magic rituals to tear the entire continent apart and create incredible magical wonders such as magic locks.
This is also the reason why humans, despite having become the undisputed overlord of Faerûn, still maintain a considerable degree of awe towards the elves.
No individual or force has ever dared to approach their last paradise - Yongju Island.
Of course, except for the Spider Goddess and the dark elves under her control.
After all, this is a conflict within the elven race.
