Chapter 2523 “Demonic Eyes Castle” Wu Kang Si

Mitra's memory and the literature Joan has read show that "Nest City" is the most advanced organizational form of the beholder community. Measured by the standards of the world, it can definitely be called a metropolis.

From the first moment of entering Udinos, the weird architectural style of this "Magic Eye Nest City" had a strong sensory impact on Joan.

The main buildings of this city are constructed by the enchanted dwarves and gnomes, and then carved by artistic beholders with "dissociation rays" to dig interconnected tunnels to form a complex and convenient three-dimensional transportation network. Any corner of the city can be reached through these tunnels.

Decorative sculptures can be seen everywhere in the city, and the themes include all common creatures in the underground world, each with different postures and vivid expressions.

Lifelike is not the right word to use here. These sculptures were originally made of flesh and blood, until they were turned into cold statues by the beholder with the "petrification ray".

These living works of art are not only in line with the aesthetic taste of the beholders, but also a signboard with practical value, sending out silent warnings to outsiders at all times.

The current lord of Udinos is a "Eye of the Hive Mother" named Ishtar, also known as the "Tyrant Supreme" or simply "The Supreme".

It is said that the "Eye of the Nest Mother" is a chosen person born by the God of Beholders, the "Grand Mistress". Manage the large and small affairs in the territory, and absorb as many other beholders and subspecies of beholders as possible to settle in, and strengthen the strength of the territory.

Residents of Udinos know that Lord Ishtar possesses a legendary supernatural power over all beholders and subspecies of beholder creatures in the city at will.

Because of the existence of this "Supreme", the beholders, who are not naturally suitable for living in groups, can live in peace in the city and try their best to maintain the harmony of the city. Dare to disturb the city is tantamount to attracting the terrible anger of the "Supreme".

With the expansion of the hive city and the increasing population, the powerful "supreme tyrant" Ishtar gradually felt powerless, and could no longer personally manage the city in every detail as before, so he had to hand over part of the power to the "evaluator". Council"—that is, a cabinet made up of her cronies.

Now, the administrative system of Udinos has matured, like a smooth-running ship, the Supreme no longer has to do everything himself, but only needs to be in charge of the helm, and most of the daily trivial matters in the city are handled by the council.

There are seven standing members of the council, and the speaker is Saoirse, the Supreme's intimate partner and assistant "Elder Eye", who is respected as the "Prime Minister" by the residents of the city.

Below the "Supreme" and "Prime Minister" are the six "Eyes of the Overseer" who served as generals - Elmetti, Aisha, Amiretta, Howarda, Mana, and Kessandra.

Similar to the "Eye of the Nest Mother", the "Eye of the Warlord" also has the supernatural ability to command and dominate other beholders, but their power cannot be compared with the Supreme, and they can only control a small group of beholders or subspecies of beholders .

Under the six "Eye of the Warlord", there are more than a hundred "nobles" in the city, all of whom are pure-blooded beholders, and Mitra belongs to this class.

Nobles are also eligible to attend the council, but they will only be there when a "general meeting" is held, usually to vote on a major issue.

For example, if there is a vacancy in the executive councilor, and there are multiple candidates competing for this seat, before the supreme judge makes a final decision, the prime minister will often call for a vote among the nobles in the city to see which candidate has the higher reputation.

The sovereign's decision may not be in line with the voting results, and sometimes in order to show his authority, he deliberately makes a decision that is contrary to the expectations of the majority of nobles.

However, under normal circumstances, Ishtar still respects the voting results of the aristocracy. Firstly, as he gets older, his temper is not as violent and paranoid as when he was young; secondly, the ruling position of Her Majesty the Queen in Udinos is already stable enough. , no longer need to show off their privileges through deliberate arbitrariness.

Although these more than one hundred true beholders are all nobles, big or small, they can be regarded as lords, but the status and privileges they enjoy in the city are still different.

The same beholder, with more territory, more wealth, and more servants, the higher the social status in the ethnic group-this is no different from human society.

The stronger the beholder's own strength, the easier it is to stand out in Udinos, but occasionally there are exceptions, such as Mitra, although he has super personal strength, but unfortunately he has a bad reputation and is under the influence of other beholders in the city. Exclusion, land and wealth rank only in the lower middle of the nobility.

The easiest way to examine the social status of a beholder aristocrat is to see how many subspecies of beholders she has around her.

There are various subspecies of beholders living in Udinos, mainly including "Eye of Gauss", "Eye of Director", "Eye of Kiss of Death", "Eye of Insight", and the aquatic subspecies of beholders " The Eye of the Abyss", and the "Eye of the Tongue" who worked as an assassin and military police.

There are more than a thousand beholders of various subspecies in Udinos. They belong to the civilian class in the city, and most of them take shelter of a certain nobleman. They serve their masters with their skills in exchange for the protection and rewards provided by them. Craftsmen, entertainers, servants of nobles and tenant farmers in human society do not enjoy complete freedom, nor do they have the right to attend the "Council".

By simple calculation, each noble beholder has an average of ten subspecies of beholders following him. Even counting Astaroth who betrayed and fled, Mitra has only three subspecies of beholder servants in total, which shows how unpopular she is in the city.

The lower status than the beholders is the slave class, most of them are humanoid creatures captured by beholders and subspecies, such as dwarves, gnomes, orcs, tauren, kobolds, goblins, etc., or smart and sensible, Compassionate, either have a skill, or at least have a good body, it is a pity to kill the monsters, so they will be raised in captivity, ordered to do rough work, and pulled out to serve as cannon fodder when conflicts break out.

The group of kobolds and tauren that Mitra brought to kill Joan before belonged to the slave class.

In Udinos, the population of slaves at the bottom of society is far more than that of beholders and subspecies of beholders. There are no fewer than 10,000 slaves in total, but their status is not much stronger than that of livestock.

Calculated in this way, the beholder nobles of Udinos have an average of about 100 slaves each, while the slaves owned by Mitra, excluding the tauren and kobolds killed by Joan, still have as many as 300 , far exceeding the average level of beholder nobles!
