Chapter 2515 Dreaming
Astaru quickly caught up and followed behind Joan.
Following the path he had come in, Joan returned to the hole that had been blocked by the "eye of air spores", hung in mid-air, twisted his eye stems, and observed the movement around him.
The empty vault was silent, and the two forks behind Joan led to the lairs of the death knell beetle and Astaroth respectively. In a dark corner a little farther away, a sparse cluster of "eyes of air spores" grew, which was surrounded by When Joan was flying, the airflow from the pores on the surface of Joan's body was blowing, and the spherical fruiting bodies shook slightly. Fortunately, this level of airflow was not enough to cause them to self-destruct.
Withdrawing his gaze, Joan opened the spellcasting material package with a flexible eye stalk, pulled out a quill, and began to cast the 5-ring "dream trick".
The one-minute spell-casting ceremony was successfully completed, and the quill in Joan's hand disintegrated by itself, turning into many shimmering tiny fluffs that slowly hovered in the air.
Astaru hid at the entrance of the cave, and poked his head out to watch Joan's actions. His eyes touched the ball of glowing goose feathers in the air, and he couldn't help yawning, feeling sleepy.
Suddenly realizing that this is not the time to take a nap, she quickly pulled herself together and asked Joan:
"Master Dharma, what are you doing?"
"wait."
"Uh, what are you waiting for?"
"Wait for Mitra to fall asleep." Joan replied softly.
The "dream trick", as the name suggests, is only effective for sleeping creatures.
Joan has completed the spell-casting ceremony, and the only thing he can do now is to wait patiently for Mitra to fall asleep.
Time passed slowly, and Joan's incarnate beholder was floating in the air, with ten eye stalks staring at the glowing goose feathers in the air for dreaming, maintaining a high degree of concentration, as if there would not be a second of relaxation until the end of the world.
Astaroth was not as patient as he was. After waiting for less than an hour, he became anxious and impatient, and walked around bored. Before Mitra fell asleep, she couldn't help but yawned and hesitated whether to slip away. Go back to the well and take a nap.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Joan suddenly raised an eye stalk and waved at Astaroth.
Astaru was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the meaning of the gesture he made, and was about to ask, when Joan's telepathy suddenly sounded in his mind.
"She's asleep, you stay away, don't appear in the picture, and make her suspicious."
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have followed!"
Astaroth retreated back to the hole with a groan, found a nearby shaft, drilled in, and hid.
Joan grinned open the beholder's iconic bloody mouth, grinned grinningly at the ball of glowing feathers in the air, then blew the feathers away in one breath, turned around and floated back to the cave.
Hearing the sound of the wind, Astaru poked his head out from the mouth of the well to look around, and saw the beholder in the form of Joan floating over from afar, and lowered his voice to ask him, "Master, is everything going well?"
Joan nodded, and said calmly: "I have projected my image into Mitra's dream, the background is the outer vault and the fork in the road, and there is a new cluster of 'air spores' nearby. Eye', as a high-level magic eye arcanist, Mitra should be able to use detection magic, and it is not difficult to cast spells to find the corresponding location in reality according to the clues in the dream."
"When will she come?" Astaro asked anxiously.
"It depends on when she wakes up, whether she can teleport spells, and whether she can make up her mind to leave the lair and pursue the phantom in her dream."
Joan twisted his eyes, glanced out of the cave, and then said to Astaroth:
"I set up the 'Magic Alarm' and 'Eagle Eye' in the vault. You will stay nearby for the next period of time and be responsible for monitoring the movement at the intersection. If you find any suspicious signs, remember to report to me as soon as possible."
"Master, don't worry, even if a small moth rat sneaks in, it won't escape my eyes!" Astaro assured him.
With the help of "Mythological Alert", Joan could of course see that this guy's mind was not pure, and what he said was beautiful, but in fact he might not be reliable, but he didn't bother to argue with her, so he flew back to his bedroom and entered meditation in the form of a beholder. To deal with the powerful enemies that may come at any time, recharge your batteries.
...
Time passed minute by minute while waiting, and a sudden palpitation woke Joan from his meditation.
He stretched out an eye stalk, leaned over the desk, and glanced at the pocket watch that made a slight ticking sound. It is now 10 o'clock in the night on June 7th, the surface time, and it has been almost three days since the moment Tommy gave it to Mitra. up.
After waiting for so long, it finally came to the showdown moment. Joan took a deep breath, calmed down the mixed tension and excitement, and tried to switch the perspective to the "Eagle Eye Observation Point" preset at the intersection.
As soon as the angle of view was switched, before he could see it clearly, his eyes were shrouded in darkness. Immediately afterwards, Joan noticed that the "magic alarm" that had warned him before had also been lifted.
"'Advanced dispel technique'?" Joan muttered to himself.
In such a short period of time, all the monitoring and alarm devices installed in hidden areas were found, and the spell was removed cleanly, which shows that Mitra came prepared.
The enemy had already arrived outside the gate, but Astaru didn't seem to know it, and he hadn't raised the alarm so far, which Joan regretted.
He didn't trust Astaru from the beginning, but considering that she was somewhat useful, he still gave her a chance to prove her worth. Unfortunately, Astaru was smart enough to miss this precious opportunity to decide his own destiny.
The preset monitoring device has been destroyed, and the "Eye of the Kiss of Death" in charge of the gate lost its chain at a critical moment. Fortunately, the "Myth Alert" was strong enough to make Joan aware that many hostile creatures were approaching in time.
Astaroth and his henchmen do not yet know the true identity of the enemy. The "Evil Eye Arcanist" hated and feared the beholder he saw in his dream, and cursed his old enemy in the dream with foul language along the way.
That beholder is Joan's incarnation.
When Mitra furiously cursed that unknown old enemy with pronouns such as "bitch", "ugly monster" and "bad bastard", it was tantamount to insulting Joan.
In the world of Vales, "language" itself is a kind of magic.
The so-called "magic spells" are actually words sorted according to specific rules.
Any words will disturb the "magic net", but everyday words cannot guide magic power according to a fixed configuration, which is not enough to cause observable magic effects, but there is no essential difference from magic spells.
When Qiao An turned on the "Mythical Alert", the invisible magic net distributed in any corner of the space became a warning network closely connected with him. He himself was like a spider lying on the web. , the voice will disturb the magic net, producing a slight tremor, which in turn triggers the "myth alert", making him feel it immediately.
