Chapter 2512 the Omen in the Dream

He was also pursuing an illusory dream, and he was almost doomed to fail from the first step of the journey of quest. Joan couldn't help asking himself: What did he do compared with those beholders who believed in "bad omens in dreams"? , and how much difference can it make?

Astaru seemed eager to instigate Joan to fight with her former master. Seeing that he was lost in thought, he couldn't help coughing heavily, and continued the topic just now.

"My lord, have you ever learned the 'Dream Conjuration' or 'Nightmare Technique'?"

Joan glanced at her and nodded calmly.

"You mean, I can use the "dream trick" or "nightmare spell" to guide Mitra to dream of ominous omens, forcing her to follow the tradition of the beholder clan and leave the lair to hunt down the beholders she saw in her dreams?"

"As expected of a master mage with extraordinary wisdom, he guessed my mind right away!" Astaru slapped his ass first, and added with a smile on his face: "If you can cast a spell to become a beholder, Of course it's best, if you haven't learned transfiguration, you might as well wear the beholder crown, so that you can project your own appearance after turning into a beholder into Mitra's dream, making her believe that there is really a beholder who is secretly planning Murder yourself!"

"Hey! Master mage, to tell you the truth, I learned this trick of luring the enemy with dreams from Mitra!"

Astaroth spared no effort to offer suggestions, and in order to persuade Joan to accept his suggestion, he took the initiative to reveal to him a disgraceful secret about the former owner.

"Many years ago, the giant-eyed tyrants of Udinos held a banquet, and Mitra was also invited to the banquet. A guy named Shika became drunk and insulted Mitra as a 'blind and ugly' in public. The whole house laughed loudly."

"Mitra didn't turn her face on the spot, and endured it until the end of the banquet. It took another two days before she took revenge on Shika. She entrusted her with a dream——in a secluded valley on the outskirts of Udinos, she created the phantom of a beholder."

"The next day, Shika really fell for the trick. He left the lair alone and went to the valley of his dream to pursue his old enemy."

"Mitra quietly followed behind Shika. When she was about to reach the valley, she blessed her with an invisibility spell, and suddenly attacked Shika, brutally killed her, and then used the 'disintegration ray' to destroy her body and wipe out the traces."

"Mitra thought she was doing this in a very secretive way, without anyone noticing, but I had already noticed her sneaking out of the lair, and followed her all the way out of curiosity. I not only witnessed her assassinate Sika, but also heard She proudly talked to herself afterwards, saying that she used the 'dream trick' to lure Shika to come here alone to die, and just like that, I also learned this trick."

"Hey hey! Mitra probably never dreamed of it, sooner or later I will use this trick on her!"

The more Astaru talked, the more complacent he was, and he laughed wildly.

Suddenly realizing that she was too smug, she quickly stopped laughing and looked at Qiao An flatteringly.

"It's a pity that the young one doesn't know how to cast dream-making spells, so I have to ask the mage to do it himself!"

"This idea sounds interesting, but since Mitra has used this trick to lure other beholders, when she herself dreams of ominous omens, doesn't she suspect that this may be a hoax?"

"My lord mage! When it comes to 'bad omens', don't people all adhere to the mentality of 'I'd rather believe something than believe nothing'? Mitra may find all kinds of reasons to suspect that this is a hoax, but One is true? Can she afford to be negligent?"

Astaroth's series of rhetorical questions caused Joan's face to change slightly, and he took a deep look at her. He really didn't expect this "eye of the kiss of death" to be so well versed in the weaknesses of human nature.

Of course, the "human nature" here is not limited to human beings, it is also applicable to other intelligent creatures that can communicate with human beings, including the beholders.

Astaru is so shrewd, Joan felt that it was necessary to be more vigilant against her, so as not to be killed by her inadvertently one day, so she drew a "power of myth", opened the eighth-level path ability "myth vigilance", and activated it at the same time "Active detection" and "passive eavesdropping" two modes.

The active mode of "Myth Alert" is equivalent to "detection of thoughts" plus "discernment of lies"; the passive mode can hear the remarks involving oneself behind the scenes, and automatically filter out those gossips that do not have strong likes and dislikes.

Judging from the current investigation results alone, Joan found that Astaru had a complicated attitude towards him. He not only resented him for taking away the beholder crown, but also had deep fear of his mana, and at the same time expected to use him to get rid of the demon crown. Lose Mitra, a confidant.

This attitude is indeed not friendly, but Joan feels it is justifiable. Thinking about it in my own shoes, I stayed at home and didn't provoke anyone, and suddenly someone broke in, beat me up, and even took away my treasures, how can I not hold a grudge?

He could understand Astaroth's state of mind, but he would not relax his guard against her because of this.

Immediately cast a 6-ring "command technique" and cast a curse on Astaroth, asking her to swear to help him trap and kill Mitra and seize the gemstone of the main eye. Only when she fulfills this vow will the curse be lifted.

"Don't blame me for not trusting you, Astaru, if you were me, you would do the same thing." Joan said frankly to her, "This is a test, if you can pass the test, help me get the main eye Gemstone, I will consider setting you free."

"I am happy to serve you! My lord, it is my honor!"

Astaroth forced a smile on the surface, but he couldn't help cursing Joanne for being vicious, bossy and suspicious, and not inferior to the beholder!

With the help of "myth warning", Joan is well aware of Astaroth's full of complaints, but he is not so bossy that he even blames other people's slander. It is enough for Astaroth to tell the truth in key links.

"I have to think about the plan to trap and kill Mitra. You should go back to the well first. When I need you, I will send you a letter."

"Ah? Aren't you going to do it as soon as possible?" Astaru couldn't hide his disappointment, "Okay, Master Mage, if there is anything I can do for you, just ask."

To dismiss the unhappy "Eye of the Kiss of Death", Joan found a clean stone room near her bedroom as her temporary residence. , covering the entire room, isolating all eavesdropping, peeping, detection and transmission attempts from the outside world.

After setting up the room, Joan walked out the door, called the nine death knell beetles over, and applied "Insect Enlightenment" to them one by one, turning them into allies loyal to him, and they could communicate with each other at any time.
