Chapter 2576 The Mad Queen of Udinos
The roar of the two "steel cubes" hitting the ground echoed for a long time in the sky above Udinos. Both the enemy and us in the square were frightened and panicked. They stopped fighting and turned their heads to look at the place where the roar came from.
There are two meteor craters in the center of the square, deeply embedded under the huge square steel ingot in the center of the crater, at least the remains of four tentacle beholders are pressed, and dirty blood seeps out continuously.
Although he said he wanted to "intensify his efforts", but... Qiao An raised his eyes and scratched his head, worried that he might have overdone his efforts just now?
...
A corridor away from the square where the scuffle took place is the "Council Office Hall", the highest administrative organ of Udinos.
At this time, on the huge round table carved from a whole piece of magic crystal raw stone in the center of the hall, a crystal ball with a gold base was placed upright. Under the blessing of magic, it reflected the scene of the melee outside the house.
Surrounding the round table, there are eight seats in total. Among them, the seat facing the gate is a throne made of pure gold, the seat on the left is made of silver, and the remaining six seats are made of bronze.
These eight seats belonged to the eight dignitaries of Udinos: "Supreme" Ishtar, "Prime Minister" Saoirse, and six "Overseers".
For beholder nobles who are born with the ability to levitate, the furniture like "seats" has no practical value, and it is only used as decorations to show their noble status when placed in the meeting hall.
The beholder hovering on the golden throne at this moment is larger than other giant-eyed tyrants. The diameter of the spherical torso is 12 feet wide. Huge golden spike ball.
This daunting "Eye of the Hive Mother" is the contemporary ruler of Udinos, and is regarded as the "Supreme" Ishtar by all the beholder nobles.
Her Majesty the Queen of the "Magic Eye Nest City" closed her main eyes tightly, and ten eye stalks wearing magic lenses of various colors stretched out lazily, floating in the air like water plants. One of the stalks stared at the crystal ball on the table, and the rest The stalked eyes are either half-sleeping or squinting, or staring blankly at the empty wall, as if the line of sight penetrates the barrier of the wall and casts into another world with a higher dimension.
The silver seat next to the Supreme Throne is a special seat for "Elder Eye" Saoirse.
His Excellency the Prime Minister in the city of Udinos, who is second only to the Supreme, has a body shape similar to that of ordinary beholders. His whole body is crystal clear and white as if carved from beautiful jade, and there are almost no gaps between bone plates and scales on the surface of his body.
Your Excellency the Prime Minister has ten white, slender and soft eye stems, like the slender catkins carefully maintained by a lady. Seven of them are wearing magic lenses. Except for the closed main eye, the ten watery eyes are all blinking. Looking at the crystal ball on the table.
"Among all the nobles, Mitra's performance is the most outstanding." Saoirse said thoughtfully, "Especially the two huge iron blocks she threw into the anti-magic field just now, showing amazing whimsy."
After pondering for a while, Saoirse continued, "If I didn't know that Mitra had this trick in advance, and she used it to deal with me, I might not be able to avoid it. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Ishtar remained silent, staring at Mitra floating above the square with one eye through the crystal ball, with a strange look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
"What do you think?" Ishtar suddenly raised a stalk of his eyes, staring straight at the ceiling above his head, "You people outside the wall should know more than me, right?"
"Don't you guys think that Mitra guy is kind of weird?"
"Poor Mitra, could she be possessed by a demon?"
"Since the bastards of Odis can bring demons from the bottomless abyss to Udinos, it is not impossible to manipulate demons to possess a certain beholder noble?"
Hearing Ishtar's inexplicable words, Saoirse's eyes showed helplessness, she stretched out her eyes to caress her monarch, her soft voice seemed to be coquettish.
"Your Majesty, look at you again!"
"I'm not sick, Saoirse dear, I'm sober, more sober than ever."
Ishtar muttered to himself with a serious face.
"You don't understand anything, you're just a group of poor worms imprisoned in a box!"
"In the entire Udinos, the entire world of Vales, and the entire multiverse, no one is more awake than me, and no creature or even a god realizes more deeply than me that my existence is just a fictional dream. A mirage on paper."
"We are just a pastime for you outside the wall to pass the time. When you yawn, rub your eyes, and close the book in front of you, I and the world I live in will also fall into a standstill. "
Saoirse listened patiently to Ishtar's gibberish, and was used to it.
Everyone in the city of Udinos is crazy, but no one is more outrageous than their queen.
Since many years ago, Ishtar's spiritual world has been irretrievably split into "reality" and "fantasy".
When she is in a normal state, she is still a clear-headed, calm and rational Her Majesty the Queen, but when her madness begins to attack, she will become confused about what is reality and what is fantasy, and even confuses the two. Say crazy things that don't make sense and don't make sense.
Saoirse has been trying to heal her queen, but to no avail.
Ishtar herself is a legendary pastor, a voter of the "Great Mistress". Even she can't cure her own madness, and even flaunts insanity as "everyone is drunk and I am sober", often thinking that she can see Or dream of those so-called "people outside the wall" who live in a higher-dimensional universe and feel complacent, talking nonsense to themselves, how can this disease be cured?
Saoirse sighed, and could only wait patiently for Ishtar to end this period of illness and recover her sanity. Besides, the only thing she could do was to listen carefully and write down Ishtar's crazy words, Otherwise, when Ishtar wakes up, if she finds her distracted, he will definitely be furious.
Playing the role of listener, the biggest difficulty for Saoirse is to straighten out the logical relationship in Ishtar's crazy words.
For example, when she mentions the word "you" multiple times in the same passage, it doesn't always mean the same thing.
Initially, when her mind was relatively stable, "you" usually referred to Saoirse and other beholder nobles in the city, and when her insanity symptoms intensified, the subsequent reference to "you" was likely It refers to the high-dimensional creatures that do not exist in her imagination, and they are talking to "you outside the wall".
