Chapter 2510 "Magic Eye Arcanist" Mitra

"Tell me about Mitra, I am very interested in her."

Joan made a spell-casting gesture, and a magical aura appeared in his left eye, quietly activating the third-level spell "Discern Lies" to prevent being fooled by Astaroth.

"Lord Mitra...is a powerful 'Evil Eye Arcanist'."

Just mentioning this name made Astaru's voice tremble uncontrollably.

"In terms of spellcasting ability alone, Mitra-sama is second only to 'Supreme' Ishtar and 'Prime Minister' Saoirse among all the residents of Udinos. However, because she chose a forbidden path of cultivation, In order to obtain powerful mana, she did not hesitate to injure herself. She has a bad reputation in the city, and other beholders do not associate with her, and her social status is not high. Thanks to the great merit, the Supreme Being and the Prime Minister tolerated her continuing to live in the city."

"The so-called 'Magic Eye Arcanist' refers to a mage or a warlock?" Joan asked curiously.

Astaru shook his head, his eyes serious.

"An Arcanist is an Arcanist, neither a mage nor a warlock, but has the advantages of both a mage and a warlock."

"Tell me in detail." Joan became more interested.

"Magic Eye Arcanist is said to be an extraordinary profession handed down from ancient times. Only a pure-blooded giant-eyed tyrant can try to advance to this profession. After successful advancement, he can copy and learn endless spells like a mage. At the same time, he does not need Prepare your spells in advance and cast them spontaneously like a warlock."

"Is it really that powerful?" Qiao An couldn't help being speechless, half-believing.

Combining the strengths of the two arcane professions of mage and warlock, this is simply the perfect profession that all arcane spellcasters dream of. Is this possible?

"Master Master, I dare to swear that everything I said is true!"

Astaroth eagerly raised a tentacle and swore to the sky.

Joan nodded. "Distinguishing lies" showed that she was indeed telling the truth.

"Although the Magic Eye Arcanist is very powerful, he has to pay a heavy price to advance to this special profession." Astaru raised a tentacle and put a big X on his main eye.

Seeing her gesture, Joan couldn't help but tremble, and guessed: "Could it be that the price of advanced "Magic Eye Arcanist" is... self-destruction of the main eye?"

Astaro nodded heavily.

Joan touched his right eye subconsciously, feeling complicated and unspeakable in his heart, as if seeing his own reflection in Mitra.

In order to obtain the "Fountain of Wisdom" and runes, he did not hesitate to gouge out his right eye as a sacrifice. Mitra did not hesitate to destroy his main eye in order to advance to the "Evil Eye Arcanist". The temptation, their choices are exactly the same.

However, Joan must admit that Mitra's sacrifice was greater than her own.

Compared with the generous rewards, sacrificing a right eye is not too much, and he was born with one more eye than normal, so losing his right eye has little effect.

What Mitra sacrificed was her only and most important main eye. Without the main eye, she would not be able to open the "anti-magic cone", which was a very heavy price.

What's more, since Joan got his prosthetic eye, it is almost impossible to see the disability of his right eye from the outside, and a few insiders also have a sympathetic attitude towards him, and so far no one has ridiculed his flaws in person.

Compared with human society, the social atmosphere of beholders is not so tolerant. Judging people by their appearance is a traditional custom of the beholders. Anyone who has a special appearance or is physically disabled will be ridiculed by other beholders. to mock.

Mitra's self-destruction of the main eye is more intolerable to the beholder society than congenital deformities or accidental disabilities. It can be called the most serious act of apostasy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a public enemy of the nation!

No wonder she obviously possesses outstanding strength, but she can't gain the reputation and status commensurate with her strength in the Demon Eye Nest City.

"Astaroth, why did you betray your master and run away from her?" Joan continued to inquire.

"Eye of the Kiss of Death" showed embarrassment on his face, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to the platinum crown in Joan's hand.

"You stole this magic crown from the master, didn't you?" Joan asked her straight to the point.

Astaroth nodded slightly.

"This beholder crown was also snatched by Mitra-sama from others. She can do that...why can't I?"

"She is a true beholder of pure blood and a high-ranking arcanist, but you are just the 'eye of the kiss of death'." Joan said truthfully, "Aren't you afraid of her chasing after you stole something from the master?"

"The beholders are all born with 'xenophobia'. They are extremely afraid of unfamiliar environments. Unless they have to, they will never leave their lairs. What's more, I can transform into a real beholder by wearing the 'beholder crown'. Beholder, even if Mitra-sama really comes to hunt him down, I'm not afraid!" Astaroth pretended to be calm and said.

If Joan hadn't witnessed this guy's suspicious behavior, he would have believed her bragging.

"Are you afraid, you know it in your own mind, and even if you wear the beholder crown, you can't become a real beholder. Otherwise, why couldn't you open your main eye during the battle just now, and why didn't you activate the anti-magic cone?"

Joan's questioning made Astaro feel deeply ashamed, and ten mouths complained sharply together.

"This is not my problem! Master Mage, if you want to blame, you can only blame the incomplete beholder crown, which lacks the main eye gemstone in the center!"

"is it here?"

Joan held up the beholder crown, pointed to the vertical pupil-shaped hollow between the eyebrows of the crown and asked Astaroth.

"That's right! A complete beholder crown should be inlaid with a total of eleven magic gems, ten small gems correspond to ten types of magic rays, and the big gem in the center corresponds to the 'anti-magic cone', without the main eye gem "Of course the 'anti-magic cone' can't be used!" Astaroth yelled aggrievedly.

Joan held up the Beholder Crown, looked it up and down, and said thoughtfully, "Maybe I can restore this crown."

"Impossible!" Astaru concluded.

"How do you know I can't do it?" Joan asked coldly.

"Master Mitra tried, but unfortunately failed."

"How powerful is your master Mitra?"

"Master Mitra is the leading arcane genius in Udinos. She was promoted to level 8 magic eye arcanist five years ago. With her practice speed, she may have been promoted to level 9...or even level 10 now. Magic Eye Arcanist, able to cast 9-level arcane spells!" Astaru was quite proud when talking about his betrayed master.

"I have already mastered the 9-level spell..."

Joan stroked his chin, and estimated that Mitra's spellcasting ability should be equivalent to that of a level 18 arcane spellcaster.

"From this point of view, Mitra's spellcasting ability is indeed better than mine, but her enchanting skills may not be better than mine."

Joan is still very confident in his enchanting skills.
