Chapter 2541 Ella's Tragedy
For mind flayers, even their own bodies are not private. After death, they are buried in the brain pool, and their corpses are used to provide nourishment for the young in the brain pool. The soul is fused with the "master brain"—this is not just an obligation, It is a supreme honor!
Extremely self-centered, "social fear" and "autistic" beholders per capita, the most hated and most incomprehensible are the mind flayers, creatures that advocate rationality and collectivism, like ice and fire, Born to be aggressive.
Ella couldn't understand Elder Samuel's fun at all. This devastated experimental subject has already noticed the terrible changes in himself, but he still insists on returning to Udinos, imagining that he can be accepted by his tribe.
However, on the first day back to his hometown, this unrealistic hope was crushed by the cruel reality.
It's a shame that Ayla would have been a respected martyr if she had just died on the battlefield, but she came back as a loathsome undead creature and a nuisance in the eyes of her people.
The world of the living cannot accept the undead, and Udinos is no exception. The Supreme and the Council made a judgment and expelled Ayla from the Demon Eye Nest City.
The exiled Deatheye tyrant wandered the Underdark with a lot of resentment, leaving behind many horror legends.
A few years later, she accidentally discovered a vein of magic crystals with rich reserves in the dark wilderness. She dug a tunnel to drill deeply, and finally entered the hinterland of the mine. She has been hiding here since then, absorbing the magic power in the vein.
Ayla didn't want anyone to discover her hidden place, so she cast "charm ray" to control the rust monster inhabiting the nearby lair, acting as a "watchdog".
Helpless, it is not as good as God's calculation. After more than 20 years of stable life, this magic crystal vein was finally exposed. In order to keep the secret, Ella killed the tauren miners who broke in by mistake, and transformed them into zombie servants by the way, but she didn't expect that these secrecy measures would accelerate her own destruction.
After reading Ella's memories, Joann couldn't help but feel sympathy for her tragic experience in this life, and even felt a sense of sympathy for her.
After becoming an undead creature, Ella returned to her hometown, but was not accepted by her compatriots, and was forced to go into exile, and finally hid in the depths of the mine, living in isolation and self-confinement. Eye Arcanist" Mitra is so similar.
From another point of view, Mitra is at least voluntarily sacrificing the main eye, voluntarily becoming a different kind, voluntarily giving up public life, and getting rewards after paying these prices, which can be regarded as seeking benevolence.
And Ella, who was supposed to be a respected martyr, was transformed into an alien against her own will, which led to her being ostracized in the city of beholders and eventually forced to embark on the road of exile. His situation is undoubtedly more miserable than that of Mitra.
From the encounter between Mitra and Ella, Joan naturally thinks of his past experiences.
Like Ella, he was also involuntarily polluted by the power of evil gods. He was born as a human being, but he was not considered a real human being. As a different kind, he always felt out of place in the crowd.
Like Mitra, he also voluntarily sacrificed an eye in order to obtain powerful power. He tried hard to integrate into human society, but hit a wall everywhere, was in a dilemma, and finally chose to exile himself.
Sighing, Joan took out a piece of black agate from the spell-casting material bag, and used Ella's bones and soul as raw materials to cast the 8-ring spell "Advanced Arousal of Undead".
Skeletal fragments scattered on the ground, driven by negative energy, gathered together, piece by piece, bridged the cracks, and finally reshaped an intact "death-eyed tyrant"!
Valak saw this scene from the side, his main eyes widened in shock, and he almost suspected that he was in a dream.
Raising her eyes, she twitched her face quietly. The pain made her confirm that this was not a dream, but a miracle that really happened before her eyes. She couldn't help but admire the master's powerful magic power.
"My Lord Mitra is too powerful!"
"Giant-eyed knight" is sincerely moved.
"Like an omnipotent god!"
Joan had been driving "Myth Alert" all the time, overheard Valak's inner voice, and realized that he had another "fan girl", and couldn't help laughing secretly.
The "Death-Eyed Tyrant" reshaped by Joan's spell inherited Ella's soul and memory, and retained all skills. The only difference from the past is that she completely obeys the "Magic Eye Arcanist" who gave her new life.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Death-Eyed Tyrant" Ella floated at a slightly lower position opposite Joan, with ten eye stalks hanging down, and the main eye also showed a respectful demeanor.
Satisfied with her humble attitude, Joan activated "Advanced Internal Vision" to check the attributes and abilities of this new servant.
...
Scouting target: "Death-Eyed Tyrant" Ayla (large undead creature, beholder subspecies)
Life Level: Level 20
Attributes: Strength 26, Dexterity 18, Constitution-, Intelligence 16, Wisdom 21, Charisma 24
Special abilities: Undead traits, dark vision, global vision, floating flight, damage reduction 5 power level/enchanted bludgeoning weapon, 60-foot fear aura, 150-foot negative energy field (medical or positive energy attribute magic and magic are prohibited in the area supernatural ability, the dead are automatically transformed into zombies at the behest of the dead-eye tyrant), 150-foot eye ray (charm, paralysis, fear, slowness, exhaustion, telekinesis, hypnosis, petrification, disintegration, death);
...
Ella's strength is not bad, much stronger than Joan's two subspecies beholder servants, the next question is how to place her.
It is not suitable for the death-eyed tyrant to show his face in Joan's territory, otherwise the news of her entanglement with the undead will spread, which will inevitably attract the suspicion of the nobles in the city and even the council, making his unhealthy image in the eyes of his compatriots worse. Bad.
After a little thought, Joan made up his mind and appointed Ella as the security supervisor of the magic crystal mining area.
Unless the mine was attacked by foreign enemies or the miners rioted, it was necessary for Ella to come forward to suppress it. She usually stayed in the depths of the mine without dealing with outsiders. It was no different from her secluded life in the past 20 years.
Joan also specifically told Ella not to leave the mine unless she was summoned by herself, lest someone find out that she had taken her in and ran to inform the council and cause trouble.
The Death-Eyed Tyrant nodded and took down his master's warning, and then led her into the depths of the pit where he lived to investigate the magic crystal veins.
Joan walked around with Ella, and conservatively estimated that the reserves of magic crystal ore in his territory were no less than 5 million tons. Putting it in the surface world where the exploration and mining industry is more developed, it can also be called a rich mine. Of course , It is incomparable with the abnormally rich super-large mineral deposits in the "Prime Ancient Abyss Mining Area".
