Chapter 1521 Beholder
This time, Lin didn't run away. Instead, he looked at this creature, which except for its big eyes, was all tentacles.
Beholders are very troublesome magical creatures. In the order of demons, although its strength is not at the average level of a big demon, the destructive power it can sometimes cause is not inferior to those demon types that are stronger than beholders.
The reason is that the beholders of the Lost Abyss are very good at mental magic. Some big demons who are stronger than them but not very smart will also be tricked and exploited by them.
In addition to mental magic, the magical power suitable for both distance and close combat is also one of the few among all demon types.
In particular, the ends of the tentacles can emit rays, which will either result in death or mental confusion, all of which prove that the eye demon's illustrious reputation is not groundless.
So even though the eyeballs are soft and the target is so big, the beholder seems to be easy to defeat. If there is a real fight, those who underestimate the enemy will definitely regret it, or even have no chance to regret it.
Lin has never encountered a beholder before, but even now he is still 100% wary of this dangerous magical creature that has been rumored by word of mouth.
At least the other party broke through the concealment of the white tiger robe and discovered his existence. I don’t know how far it ‘sees’ it.
He moved his position quietly. This time he did not use the flash technique to avoid the magic fluctuations from attracting attention.
But this beholder still pointed its big eyes in his direction, and even smoked a few cigarettes in the process.
It is said that the beholder has no mouth, so how can it be seen with a cigarette in its mouth? And where are those tentacles holding cigarettes to smoke?
In fact, this eye demon directly inserted the filter part of the cigarette into the cornea under his orifice, and the cigarette butt turned red.
The smoking part of the cornea is not fixed in a fixed position. When you want to smoke the cigarette held by other tentacles, you can just insert it into the cornea and smoke it on the spot.
Sometimes five or six can be inserted in one breath. Seeing such a picture, someone can't help but be interested in the physiological structure of the beholder.
I wonder if Fen has an anatomy chart, or can I catch one myself and study it? 'Oh, I'm not going to run away.
So after seeing my country, do you have any thoughts? Magician Gabriel Ashtripwood.
That's your name, right? ’ Identity discovered! This is even more shocking than having his own whereabouts exposed.
So where did I go wrong? ……country! Lin immediately had a guess in his mind that he was the master of the lawful evil demon army.
The scene in the city in front of me is similar to that of that legion. Then I was discovered here, and although the other party was aware of me, there seemed to be many uncertainties. It can be explained that I was not discovered by this beholder, but entered the human body like bacteria and stimulated the immune system. reaction situation.
To put it simply, this is the 'Kingdom of God' belonging to the Evil God of the Abyss, the kingdom of God of this beholder in front of you.
It seems that with my ability and the blessing of the white tiger robe, I can't sneak into other people's kingdom of God and then sneak out again. I also need to be able to wave my hand without taking away a cloud.
As for why he said that he was only found, but his exact location was not found. Lin believed that if he was really exposed without any reservations, the beholder in front of him would not speak, but would directly hit him.
Don't think of the devil as being so peaceful. Talking with fists, and then gambling with your life, this is the daily routine. If we don't take action when we meet, then there must be an interest in not taking action when we meet, and it is greater than taking action. That's why the devil behaves seemingly "peacefully".
However, in order to confirm his thoughts, Lin took the initiative to withdraw from the concealment of the white tiger robe. Speaking of which, the beholder in front of me may be the second abyss evil god he has encountered.
The former one is the Dragon God of Dragon Island. That guy is also the guardian of Dragon Island's Abyss Gate, so it's hard to say what's going on.
If you really want to talk about it, the person in front of you is the pure evil god of the abyss. He had met many physically accomplished strong men like the Lord of the Abyss, and even encountered them when he was crazy... But there was no way that Lin would not be interested in the strong men on the abyss side like the Abyss Evil God, who were already in the minority.
Even if it is to fight against this kind of existence in the future, it is right to collect more information when you have the opportunity.
After all, Lin failed to find out the possible identity of the beholder from external conditions at the first time, which was a problem.
It was obvious that he still knew too little about the Evil God of the Abyss. Another reason for showing up is to find a way to confirm the identity of the other party.
Don't think that the other person is the evil god of the abyss. If it turns out that he is not the evil god of the abyss, that would be funny.
It's like driving while looking at a map, but with north and south reversed from the beginning. Of course, it's impossible to drive to your destination.
When Lin appeared in a white robe, the beholder didn't show any surprise, or even any unnecessary emotion.
It's like knowing everything and having everything under control. A flick of both sleeves! The white robe on his body instantly turned into a black robe.
In terms of life level, the beholder's level is still higher than his own. So Lin bowed according to the etiquette of a magician, put his hands on his chest and back, and said in Abyssal language: 'Your Majesty, the magician Gabra Shtripwood is here to greet you.
’ This beholder, who looked so young that he looked like a newborn beholder, suddenly showed a heavy power that was not inferior to the elder beholder, trying to overpower the magician in front of him.
But the Xuanwu True Spirit on the black robe faintly resisted this momentum and eliminated it. This allowed Lin to stand calmly and calmly, as if nothing had happened.
The beholder did not restrain his pressure, nor did he show any surprise. As if everything was going as it should, the voice came straight to my mind: 'Still the same question, after seeing my country, do you have any thoughts from the perspective of an outsider?
''What kind of attitude does Your Majesty want me to have? Surprised? envious? Fear? Or do you feel baffled when you look at this scene that is different from most areas in the Lost Lands and the Abyss?
I am a magician, which means I am destined to look at things more rationally rather than emotionally. If you start from this perspective, would you like to hear my evaluation?
Maybe it won't sound that good. The beholder took all the smoke away from his eyeballs, half-shuddered his eyelids, and after staring at someone for a while, the voice rang in someone's head again: "You are worthy of being able to escape from the abyss." The prey, they speak so sharply.
But it's still much better than other annoying guys who come and fight just because they say they can't win. Those demons have brains for nothing, they are not as good as those like us who only have eyes.
’ As if he had looked away, the beholder turned around without protection and led the way. At the same time, it was as if he was speaking, and his voice penetrated directly into his mind: "You probably didn't understand my country just now. Let me show you around and introduce it to you by the way."
’ Lin raised his eyebrows and looked behind the beholder but did not move or take a step. Said: 'Oh, Your Majesty is delaying time like this, maybe you have some special motive.
Like taking the opportunity to brainwash me and control my mind. ''This is how you deal with ordinary demons.
As long as they enter my kingdom, they will eventually become my believers, it's just a matter of time. But your mind is protected. Although you still can't completely get rid of my influence, I can't keep you until it really takes effect.
Dealing with other demons is not that troublesome. ’ Lin thought this statement was true and commented: ‘Oh, this is like ant lion hell.
''Ant lion hell? ’ The beholder paused for a moment because of this term that did not exist in either the Lost Land or the Abyss. After thinking about it, Lin explained: 'It's a carnivorous insect that digs funnel-shaped traps in the sand.
The ant lion will perch on the bottom. Once prey falls into the trap, it will spray sand to increase the sliding force, allowing the prey to slide to its side, and then inject venom and digestive juices to prey on it.
''To describe it as a trap, it does look a lot like it. ’ The beholder didn’t mean to be offended, and just commented calmly.
In response to this attitude, Lin curiously followed the distance of the beholder and asked: 'Your Majesty, I still don't know what to call you?
''You can only know the devil's name if you want to enslave it or sign a contract with it.
At other times, find your own answers. ’ Looking for answers. It feels like a trap.
If this city is full of believers of the evil god of the abyss, then they must know the name of the beholder.
Even if it's not his real name, it's at least a common name to the outside world. A normal person would think of asking about it. However, the beholder himself admitted that the longer he stayed in this city, the more likely he was to be brainwashed and assimilated.
So talking to the devil here is completely risk-free? Lin was not so naive as to think that she would not get pregnant even if she said a few words.
So-called magic, especially curses, are often difficult to prevent. So Lin just followed without making any extra moves.
The beholder didn't care about the appearance of the uninvited guests behind it, and just introduced the divine kingdom on earth it had established.
Suppose that the place where Lin first entered and the place where he later investigated belong to the residential area of this city.
So what the beholder wants a certain magician to see is the city's industrial area and its manufacturing capabilities.
I did not see assembly line production, nor was it an unmanned production line, but it was not a labor-intensive production method like a textile factory.
If I really want to make an analogy, it's a bit like a TV show that someone remembers watching, which introduced the workshops of top sports car manufacturers.
Real top-notch and limited-edition sports cars are not produced on assembly lines. Every part is manufactured by professional technicians working with precision machines.
Maybe there was such a thing as pure handwork in the past, but as car materials have been upgraded and evolved, some materials really cannot be made by 'handwork'.
Although the introduction of the TV show may not be the real situation, a group of masters gave full play to their creativity and technology, and made the most wonderful coordination and cooperation, ultimately creating a unique and perfect work.
Such a scene reappeared in front of someone's eyes. There is actually no conclusion as to which race the best craftsmen in Midland belong to.
Because each race has its specialties, and in the hands of those masters, they have achieved perfection. If you think that the devil's creations are all crudely made, or that they are evil things that can be used and look evil, then you are totally wrong.
At least those treasures called 'crude embryos' made a certain magician show an inappropriate look of admiration.
And these things must eventually be handed over to the user and undergo final processing before they become real magic weapons and be reincarnated again.
