Chapter 2593 Myth Remote Viewing Technique
Most of the area of Odis is shrouded in the spiritual monitoring of the legendary mastermind "Noah". If there is any disturbance in the city, the mastermind will be aware of it immediately.
From Isaac's memory, only the residential areas of the citizens of Edis are under the main control of the main brain, and in those remote and dark corners of the city, such as the dirty areas where slaves live together, there are also dead spots that the main brain cannot monitor.
Since the Gnostics were degraded as refugees, they were forced to leave the civic residential area and move to the fringe area outside Odis. The stone tower where they lived in seclusion happened to be out of the control of the mastermind, which provided Joan with a convenient condition. On the premise of not alarming other mind flayers and masterminds, you can assassinate them without anyone noticing!
Gnosti and Qiao An didn't know each other before, and there was no grievance. There were two main reasons why Qiao An wanted to kill him.
First of all, the main eye gem of the beholder crown is in the hands of Gnostic. Only by killing him can Joan get back the gem, repair the beholder crown, and make his main eye shine again.
In addition, if the Gnostic can be successfully assassinated, Joan would like to become his appearance and sneak into Odis to investigate the ecology and customs of the mind flayers. .
Joan chose to pretend to be a Gnostic instead of Isaac or other mind flayers, firstly because the Gnostics practiced both psionic and arcane arts, which coincided with her own specialties, and secondly, because the Gnostics were considered to be in the eyes of her compatriots. He has no sense of existence and no friends. He is a "vagrant" who is outside the mainstream social circle of Odis.
Joan pretends to be this person, so he doesn't have to show his face in the city from time to time, doesn't need to frequently participate in public affairs and social activities, and the risk of revealing his identity is lower.
Finally, there is another advantage of taking over the Gnostic identity, that is, this person is allergic to fresh brains and is known as a "faster" in the city of Edis.
Qiao An replaced the Gnostic identity, and she can confidently refuse to eat human brains in the future, and other mind flayers will not doubt her because of this.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Qiao An couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart. He immediately took out the "remote viewing mirror" and tried to peek at the stone tower where the "Faster" Gnostic lived in seclusion, but he was poured cold water on his head...
It seems that the "remote viewing mirror" failed to show the picture she expected due to the interference of the anti-detection barrier such as the "mage's secret room".
"This guy, Nosti, is very vigilant!"
Joan scratched his head, thinking about how to solve this problem.
"Remote Viewing" can't handle things, "Scrying" or "Advanced Scrying" are also helpless, so why don't you change your mind and sneak into Odes in the form of Isaac for the time being, and visit the Gnostics?
Joan hesitated for a moment, but finally gave up on this too risky idea.
There are too many unpredictable variables to break into the mind flayer city in person and do things on other people's territory. Maybe I failed to assassinate the Gnostics and instead lost my life in Odes, but that would be too much. Not worth it.
After thinking about it, Qiao An felt that he had to continue the idea of "remote peeping". If the "remote viewing technique" was not effective, he would invent an enhanced version of the "remote viewing technique" to brute force crack the knots surrounding the Gnostic stone tower. boundary!
The "Faster" Gnostic does have two brushes, but he is not a legendary spellcaster/manifester after all. Joan calculated from his spellcasting/manifestation level that the barrier used to block detection is at most equivalent to an 8th-level heart Psychic abilities, if you work harder, you are still sure to crack it!
After making up his mind, Qiao An started to develop an advanced version of the fifth-level "remote viewing technique".
For the next two weeks, she shut herself at the bottom of the well and never went out, immersing herself in research day and night.
Since the awakening of the eighth-level path ability "Mythological Vigilance", she no longer has the physical need for sleep. She takes a "Meditation Capsule" every day and meditates for half an hour to restore energy, spell slots and mythic power, so that she can Save a lot of time for work.
"Magic Eye Arcanist" Mitra was originally a "house girl", often hiding in the lair without seeing outsiders for weeks at a time. to bother her.
In the early morning of September 20th, surface time, Qiao An developed the "Mythical Remote Viewing Technique" as he wished, which requires at least an 8th-level mythical power to activate, and its power is comparable to that of a 9th-level spell.
"Mythic remote viewing" retains all the functions of the fifth-level "remote viewing", which can detect, eavesdrop, and track a certain creature or specific location across planes, and can perform remote manifestations by spending double the power.
In addition, the duration of "Mythic Remote Viewing" has been greatly extended compared with the original version. With Joan's current level of manifestation, it can last for up to 34 hours, and during this period, the viewing angle can be adjusted at will.
The last and most critical point is that "Mythical Remote Viewing Technique" can penetrate most of the magical/abilities that protect against detection below the legendary level.
Only the "mind barrier" can pose some obstacles to this mythical ability, but it can't be completely blocked. It just provides the subject with a chance to resist mentally. If the subject's willpower is not strong enough to resist Joan The level of mana, once the will line of defense is broken down, will still be monitored.
By the way, Qiao An re-enchanted the "Remote Viewing Mirror" and upgraded it to a "Mythical Remote Viewing Mirror". Then, based on the environmental information provided by Isaac's memory, he tried again to find out the stone tower where the Gnostics lived in seclusion.
Half a month of hard work was finally not in vain, the mirror surface had ripples like water waves, and when the ripples subsided, a blue-gray tall tower building appeared in the mirror surface.
Qiao An let out a long breath, touched the magic mirror lightly with his eyes, adjusted the viewing angle, and first took a look at the situation around the stone tower.
Similar to Udinos, the mind flayer city of Odes is also located in an empty underground dome. The high dome is like a gray sky. On the flat ground, huge stalagmites can be seen everywhere pointing to the dome. The dwelling place of demons.
The living preferences of mind flayers and beholders are diametrically opposed. Beholders mostly like to live at the bottom of deep and dark wells, while mind flayers are happy to live on top of high towers, even in dark areas where the sun is not visible. this living habit.
The Gnostic Stone Tower is located at the edge of the northwest corner of Odis, more than 5 miles away from the "Tower of the Mastermind" located in the center of the city, and has been out of the scope of the mastermind's mental monitoring.
Around this three-story stone tower, there is a circle of caves dug on the stone wall, and there are often subterranean gnomes coming in and out, presumably they are slaves of the Gnostics.
Joan adjusted the observation point, the mirror shook slightly, and then showed the scene inside the stone tower.
