Chapter 225 The shoulder of the illithids

  Eugene imprisoned the dark hydra on the side, and on the other side of the brain-shaped castle, it seemed that the departure of the main brain had affected the brain golem to a considerable extent, and the Staters quickly ended the battle.

Later, Lampas, one of the two commanders of the Githyanki, rode the red dragon back to the battlefield, and led the students to clean up the remaining blue-footed dragons and snakes, as well as the fleeing dark elves and gray dwarves .

Commander    Sauron entered the crypt under the castle with Isaac and the others.

   The unanimous thought, they are not in a hurry to search the Mage Tower, nor the castle, the place where the mastermind's final breath is, is the first place they must thoroughly investigate.

The    illithids have retreated, and the hydras and purple worms have also been taken down. Although the crypt is deep and crisscrossed, except for some insignificant dark creatures, nothing unexpected happened.

   Not too long, the deepest part of all the tunnels, a deep salt water pool shrouded in darkness, appeared in front of them.

  Extremely powerful psionic breath!

   This deep salt water pool actually exudes an aura similar to that of a spiritual field, as if... it is full of some kind of life energy!

   "It's a pool of brain worms!"

   Commander Sauron immediately recognized its origin.

   This is where the illithids cultivate the brainworm tadpoles and breed the descendants of the race!

   But at the same time as he recognized it, his eyes became solemn.

   Even with the help of the psychic light of the silver sword of Ghis, he could only feel the bottom of this deep pool.

   The size of this brain pool is huge...

   Since the overthrow of the illithid empire, their entire race has rarely encountered a brain pool of this size!

   Looking at the brain pool again, there is not even a tadpole...

Commander Zoro's dignified eyes slowly retracted, and then he looked at the surrounding people and dragons, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, although these illithids have retreated, their own strength has not been damaged much. As long as they are given time, sooner or later they will develop again.

   And with their ability to teleport from other worlds, when the time comes, it is almost inevitable to return here!

   We can't be together all the time, let alone be on guard against them all the time.

  To completely solve this threat, the only way is to hunt them down directly across planes before they have developed a new puppet legion, and destroy them completely!

  What do you guys think? "

  The illithid monster is killed back?

  Isaac's eyes couldn't help but move.

If the    illicit monster is killed, his Reid Kingdom will be the first to bear the brunt. From this point of view, it should be completely solved!

but……

   He shook his head quickly in his heart.

   At least temporarily, he didn't want to move.

  After this war, he was ready to lurch for a while to thoroughly understand the "contribution" of the illithids.

   Before that, no matter what it is, don't let him take half a step out of the Rift Mountains, let alone chase him across planes!

   Moreover, Stater and the others will continue to conduct research in Dubizrant, even if the illithids are really killed, it's just another battle!

   At that time, he, including Stat and the others, would only be stronger than now!

   In addition... he doesn't want to move, so should Stat and the others, but these Gisyanki people are different!

   Having discovered such a powerful illithid group, how could these guys sit still!

   The strength here is not enough to chase and kill them, but behind them, there are astral empires!

With a thoughtful look in   's eyes, Isaac nodded slowly: "You're right, these illithid monsters really should perish completely to make people feel at ease. But..."

His eyes wrinkled again, and his voice changed at the same time: "At least for a short time, I can't leave this side. I have a deadly enemy, and this side has been staring at this side for years. Peeping in the dark."

   He didn't say it casually.

   Like a black dragon envoy, like a harpist, and even the sect of the evil king... There are really not one or two who are staring at him in the dark.

Green Dragon was the first to decline, and the three of Stadt did not exchange their eyes, so Eugene said: "Sorry, we have other important things to do. If we are in this plane, we can still take some time out, but we have to cross the position. noodle……"

   Eugene said, then slowly shook his head.

   Now he, as well as Stat and Rodnick, are only going to the legendary level.

   As for what kind of illithids are coming back...

   Killing it back is also on the green dragon's territory!

   ran away, and it’s just that the Ghis people are anxious!

   The expressions of the two, Commander Zoro couldn't help but look like a yin.

When    pulled them, the gesture was cordial. He first passed through Ziyavindra, and even crossed the plane to greet them warmly!

   But now, things have only initially ended at a stage, and this is changing quickly enough!

   However, in the previous battle, he knew the power level of these guys personally, but Commander Zoro couldn't turn his face away, he simply used his psychic energy to condense the "star storm" with the silver sword of Gith.

   Above the silver sword, bright stars are quickly born and gathered.

   "Wait!"

   The undead archmage, who has always been cold and rarely speaks, took a step forward at this time.

   He had seen the purpose of the Githyanki commander.

   When it is necessary, destroy the Brain Worm Pool!

   However, this thing seems very interesting!

The powerful and bizarre life energy inside    was invisible to him for a while.

   Later, I got the research materials on the illithids, maybe it will be useful at some time!

  Rodnick stepped forward and said, "General Zoro, since all the brain worms here have been taken away, there is no point in destroying this salt water pool.

   It is better to leave it and see if it can be used for related research.

   I am very interested in it. "

  …

  Underground, Isaac and others are exploring the crypt.

  In and outside the city, the Githyanki were cleaning up. For the slaves and puppets of the illithids, not only did they not accept any surrender, but they fled, and they were chased and killed all the way.

  No one sensed, a shadow had sneaked into the mage tower.

   Occasionally in half-shadow form, directly across some magic traps.

   Sometimes with clever tricks, even the magic secret lock can't stop his progress.

   When encountering some particularly troublesome places, he also carried several rare magic props with him.

   Exploration layer by layer, but hardly moving anything inside, the shadow is quickly approaching the core of this mage tower.

   is the legendary Shadow Assassin Barrett!

   In a war, this guy didn’t even show his face from start to finish, let alone take action.

   But at this moment, he quietly touched this most important place, at least one of the most important ones!

   "Golden Scroll!"

   "By dragging Sauron below, find it out as soon as possible to avoid more accidents!"

  …

   Nor is it just Barrett who has another purpose.

   In the underground passage not very far from Dundrum.

   Army of Trolls! An army of kobold rogues! Green Dragon Beast Team! Logistics Army!

   And more, Sylvia, a young green dragon!

  This army was advancing slowly, but suddenly, a shadow beacon suddenly rippled out from one of Sylvia's paws.

"So fast?"

   is the agreed signal, but this time...

   Sylvia's eyes were filled with suspicion.

   But the surprise turns to surprise, since the signal is coming...

   "Accelerate the march! As fast as you can!"

   "Dundram is already waiting for us to raid our homes. Don't fall behind those Githyankis or nothing good will come to us!"

  Long Ma let out a roar, although it didn't arouse the dragon's might, but it also made the army fight with chicken blood, and quickly increased the marching speed.

  …

   Isaac, Stutter and the others, but they never thought that they would give all the loot to the Gisyanki!

   These astral pirates, who are accompanied by red dragons, have always been known for their cold blood and greed.

   Of course, Long Ma led the army to follow, not just for loot.

  If, just if!

  If something goes wrong with the Gisyanki and their red dragons... this army will be repurposed, which is a handy thing!

   Of course, normally, Isaac doesn’t want to change his purpose. After all, the astral empire of the Githyanki people is not something to be provoked!

   These days, his understanding of the Gisyanki Empire has also gained a lot of substance.

  For example, the divine red dragon that made a covenant with them is said to have been entrenched in their imperial capital all the time!

For example, the one who made the covenant with the divine red dragon was not the one who overthrew the illithid empire and created the Githyanki Empire with the name of "Gith" and made it the name of the race and the name of the empire. .

   Rather, a powerful, mysterious, and more brutal Lich Queen!

  It is said that this Lich Queen is even within the Empire, erecting her own beliefs!

   Just by looking at the word "faith", Isaac can imagine how difficult this person is to provoke!

   Therefore, unless there is a problem with the other side's brain, Isaac doesn't want to lift his pants and not recognize anyone. Even if Dundrum's loot is only partly allocated to that side, it must be a huge number.

   So.

  When everyone finished exploring the crypt without haste, and inside the brain-shaped castle, they also turned around and came out again.

  The Githyanki haven't even had time to slaughter all the illithid slaves.

   On the other side of the connecting passage, Long Ma led a large group of green dragon beasts and flew in, followed by a continuous army.

  The appearance of this army, the Gisyanki people have obviously raised their vigilance, even the red dragon is the same, beware of turning his face.

   After all, it is not surprising that the Evil Alliance has turned its face after a victory!

   "The old thief has succeeded!"

   But they were wary of them, a telepathic message from Eugene, but Isaac's face resurfaced with a kindness.

  Barrett succeeded!

   Naturally, I got the golden scroll!

   This legendary assassin is worthy of the name "Old Thief"!

   He turned his gaze to Commander Zoro and smiled: "General, the battle is basically over. You and I will clean up and count the harvest together, and then see how to distribute it?"

   There were some questions in his voice.

   At this time, Sauron was no longer indifferent when he first came.

   squeezed a little smile on his face and nodded.

   "As it should be."

   "Let's act together and end this place as soon as possible. Then, I will bring some children and return to the empire immediately. I will ask the queen for instructions on whether to continue chasing and killing illithids."

   Everyone understands people, so in his words, he casually took a little bit of "backer support"!

   "This really needs to be stepped up." Isaac didn't realize it, and nodded, "I'll let the servants act immediately."

   The two exchanged only a little, and the kobold army and the Gisyanki came together in groups, and quickly cleaned up the battlefield and the city.

   And Isaac and the others, along with the two commanders and the red dragons, entered the Mage Tower first.

  …

   The scale of Dundrum is much larger than that of Dubezrant.

   Even if the army was scraping, it took three days to clean up and count.

   Countless treasures, especially magic materials, there are quite a few of them, not necessarily produced in this plane, at least there is no relevant record in Isaac's knowledge base.

   However, magic materials are precious, and the various research materials and research records obtained from the three mage towers, at least in Isaac's eyes, are even more valuable than them, even far above them!

"Mind Demon Seed! The eighth-level spell created by the master brain! Using the granulation of the master brain or the tentacles of the illithids as the casting material, it can semi-parasitic creatures. Being parasitic, the mind will be naturally close to the illithids, A creature without intelligence can also give birth to minimalist intelligence.”

   "Purple worms and Hydras should be manipulated like this!"

   "However, their dark magic power should be related to the research here!"

"Then the main brain can really directly use the ubiquitous dark magic power in the dark area! Although the efficiency of utilization is not high and the cost is quite large, but... this is one direction! If you understand it thoroughly, you may be able to directly use the concept source. Go above! If this is the case, this research material is even more meaningful than the golden scroll!"

The more    read and backed up the research materials on illithids, the more serious Isaac became.

   Not only him, but also eagerly flipping through the pages, also secretly recording, and the three of Stutters are also extremely focused.

  “his~~”

   Another heavyweight document, Isaac couldn't help but take a deep breath.

   "Psion Spell List Replacement Research!"

The    sorcerer's spell list is generally fixed.

   Like Psion, they basically focus on the area of ​​spiritual magic,

  Like their green dragons, each level of spells has a limited range of choices.

   It is precisely because the list of spells is limited that once someone gets to the bottom of it, a warlock can easily be targeted.

   But the retreating mastermind actually figured out a way to replace this spell list!

   "The ninth-level spell Prismatic Barrier! The eighth-level spell mind demon! The sixth-level spell chain lightning!"

   "This guy is really... as expected of a brain addicted monster! After eating countless illithid brains, this guy's intelligence and inspiration are beyond imagination!"

   "It's a pity I didn't get a chance to sit down with this guy and have a good face-to-face conversation."

   While pondering the essence of this document, Isaac's eyes couldn't help but flow out a little admiration!

   He has always respected those who have knowledge, especially those who can bring him goals and point out the direction!

  Since the illithids can replace the Psion's spell list, then...the sorcerer-like spells embedded in their green dragons, is it possible to replace them too?

   Also, the essence of the operation of illithids...

   "Don't say that the illithids retreated voluntarily. If I had known that there were so many, such high-level research materials, even if the mastermind came out to fight to the death, he would also kill it at any cost!"

   "The golden scroll is the main direction, and so are these. First, use the golden scroll to raise the level of the mage to the second level, and then through the study of these materials, take the dark magic as the entrance, step by step to the conceptual level!"

   At this time, neither Isaac nor Stutter had much thought, and they were overthinking the distribution of the spoils.

   quickly completed the assignment with the Gisyanki, and then these astral pirates directly activated the starship, and together with the red dragons, quickly left the Ashan plane.

  Long Ma, who ran for an empty trip, did not stay for a long time. She also brought a batch of treasures and quickly left the Fissure Mountains.

  Isaac and the others stayed in Dubizrant and Dundrum for a long time.

   Research the new golden scroll together!

   Let’s discuss the wisdom of illithids together!

   A lot of experiments, a lot of progress, and, from the summary of the experiments, are gradually born, their own direction, or way!

  Stand on the shoulders of others and walk your own way!

  Time alternates, time passes like water.
