Chapter 2586 Eye Golem

Beholders don't know what "repaying a grievance with virtue" is, they advocate "a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye", "whoever dares to mess with me, I will pay back double"!

Qiao An's mentality just now, the so-called being kind to others, repaying grievances with virtue, forgiving those who have hurt him, and giving the other party a chance to repent, are actually a natural expression of the mainstream moral concepts of human society, but they violate the traditional concepts of the beholders. No wonder Slaoga and Rashinu were confused.

Joan dare not make a judgment as to which one is more reasonable, the morality pursued by the human society or the beholder society.

Since she didn't want to leave the Demon Eye's Nest City for the time being, it was a necessary compromise to do as the Romans do. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of Slaoga and Lashinu, she gave up the idea of ​​rescuing Vayu and decided to escort the captives back to Udinos immediately. Pay your respects to His Excellency the Prime Minister.

After making up his mind, Joan cast the "teleportation technique", brought his companions and five captives back to the city, and sent Saoirsa a "short message technique", telling Saoirsa that the task had been completed, and by the way, reported what happened to Vayu. Obey the command, act without authorization, and the consequences caused by it.

After the letter was sent, Joan, Slaoga, and Lashinu waited in the square opposite the Council.

Joan thought that His Excellency the Prime Minister would meet him and his party in the council hall, but Saoirse's reply was somewhat unexpected.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister expressed his appreciation to us for completing the hunting mission so quickly and capturing two mind flayers. We made an exception and invited us to visit the manor where she lives with His Majesty the Supreme."

Qiao An conveyed the Prime Minister's invitation to his companion, still muttering in his heart, the dark area is dark, where did the "manor" come from?

After thinking about it, Saoirse's words may be bragging. The so-called manor should be a mushroom plantation. Beautiful stones for decoration.

"Wow! This isn't real, is it? The Great Mistress, I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Hearing the invitation conveyed by Joan, Slaoga, who has always been calm, was full of surprises, and couldn't help waving his eye stalks excitedly, and circling around.

"Being invited to the residence of the Supreme and Prime Minister, this is an honor that only the warlords and very few great nobles in the city have the opportunity to get! Mitra, we are too proud this time!"

Lashinu was also excited by this good news, but compared to Slaoga, who had a strong vanity, she was looking forward to a delicacy that was said to be only available in the royal manor of Udinos.

"Red wine, red wine, I finally have the opportunity to drink this legendary good thing that can make people ecstatic!"

Rashnu couldn't help swallowing.

wine?

Joan quickly searched Mitra's memory. There was indeed such a rumor in the city that every beholder noble who was lucky enough to be invited to the residence of the Supreme and the Prime Minister would be given a barrel of red wine.

The beholders are born with a slow sense of taste, and food that is not strong enough tastes like chewing gum to them, and they are all heavily "face-controlled". They like drinks with beautiful colors and exciting tastes the most. The expectations of "stimulation" and "appearance" are widely talked about by beholders.

Including Mitra, Slaorga and Lashinu, most of the beholders in Udinos have not yet had the opportunity to taste this precious wine, so Joan is not sure if this so-called "red wine" is Literally wine.

From a common sense point of view, the "red wine" mentioned by beholders is probably not the same drink as the common wine in the human world.

The reason is very simple. There is no sunlight in the underground world, and the harsh water and soil environment is not suitable for growing grapes. What kind of wine should be used?

Joan guessed that the "red wine" that made Rashnu salivate was probably just a red alcoholic drink fermented from common crops in the underground world such as mushrooms or xiangshi.

Even if it is really wine, it should be created out of thin air with magic such as "wine making". It is impossible to actually grow grapes in the dark area for wine making.

But this time she guessed wrong again.

In the city of Udinos, there is really such a magical manor. It looks like a huge turtle shell on the ground. The smooth dome made of rock completely covers about 3,000 acres of land. Joan, who visited for the first time, was deeply shocked, and couldn't help but think of the famous "Dome Opera House" in the holy city of Ashan.

The cathedrals and opera houses built on the surface world are, after all, structures of earth, wood, bricks and tiles, supported by stone pillars or steel beams inside. Although they are magnificent and costly, their design and construction are not difficult. There is already a mature plan.

In the underground world, it was the first time that Joan had witnessed such an engineering miracle. A lot of engineering spells must have been used in the construction process. The high-level spellcasters in the city could count on one hand, and the construction of the manor was inseparable. Ishtar and Saoirse are hands-on.

Qiao An not only admired the mana of the Supreme Being and the Prime Minister, but also could not help but criticize their lives for being too extravagant and flashy.

The other beholders live in shabby wells, but you two live in a magnificent underground palace. Isn't this in line with the traditional customs of the beholders?

However, after thinking about it, things like "customs" and "rules" are just projections of class barriers. Whether in beholder society or human society, freedom is often linked to wealth and status. Only the subordinates must abide by the rules. Has the superior ever really cared about these rules and regulations? Of course it is how comfortable it is.

The hemispherical palace is equipped with a "mysterious lock" enchantment, which isolates the transmission and detection attempts from the outside world. In front of the only gate leading to the interior of the palace, there are four large black balls with a diameter of 16 feet suspended, extending all over the body. Ten slender and flexible tentacles emerged.

At first, Joan thought it was four large beholders, or some kind of subspecies of beholders, but when he got closer, he realized that they were all made of steel.

"Be careful, everyone! The four big iron balls on the opposite side are the legendary 'Eye Golems', the palace guards created by Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Don't provoke them, or you will die a miserable death!" Slaoga reminded his companions in a low voice. .

"Eye Golem"?

Joan's heart moved, recalling that he had seen an introduction to this kind of alien construct in the "Golem Notes" written by the cloud giant archmage Vavrunil.

"Eye Golem" is generally a steel golem that looks like a beholder, but compared with ordinary "Iron Golem", there are two unique features.

First of all, the Beholder is equipped with a precision-structured vector jetting device powered by magic crystals. The densely-covered pores can inject or inhale air as needed, so that this heavy iron ball floats like a real beholder. In the air, change directions at will.
