Chapter 2866 Heir to the Throne
Saoirse should be very clear that Ishtar has Inanna as his own flesh and blood living in the world, and is more suitable than Mitra to succeed Udinos as the supreme position. The dominant eye with congenital deformity can also use the "beholder crown" cure.
As the prime minister, why didn't Saoirse explain the truth to Ishtar, persuade the Supreme to welcome back her own flesh and blood, and make Inanna the prince of the magic eye nest city, wouldn't it be better than Mitra who is hard to beat More logical, so as not to provoke criticism?
In other words, if even Mitra, who came from an ordinary background and has a bad reputation, is eligible to be the successor of Ishtar, then Saoirse is the prime minister, and the number two person recognized by the magic eye nest city, isn't she herself? More qualified than Mitra to succeed the throne of the Supreme?
After thinking about it, Joan could only think that Saoirse did not dare to reveal her ambition to replace her in front of Ishtar, nor did she dare to admit that she had violated the order of the Supreme, and did not drown Inanna in the first place.
In order to avoid angering Ishtar and getting into trouble, Saoirse would rather sacrifice Inanna, the orthodox heir to the throne of Udinos, and push out Mitra, who has no right to inherit according to blood, to make up for it. Tal fooled the past and tried to clean up the troubles after she died, using Mitra, the so-called new queen, as a puppet to manipulate.
If Saoirse really planned this way, she would be too selfish. She fooled Her Majesty the Queen in order to protect herself, and even involved Mitra in the vortex of power struggle. This is really... a typical bureaucracy!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I don't want to be a beholder queen, you are going to set me on fire!"
After muttering a few words full of depression, Joan looked away and cast a spell to teleport back to his lair.
Leaving aside doubts about Udinos' succession to the throne, Joan first sorted out today's spoils, and cast spells on the remains of Dr. Saul, Shakluf, Thousand-Eyed Demon and Heart-Eating Ooze Monster one by one.
The first is the Thousand-Eyed Demon. Joan had long taken a fancy to the demon's innate spell "Chaos Mantra", and finally got his wish.
This 7th-level magic is similar to "blasphemy", but it is aimed at the subject of the non-chaotic camp, and the negative effect it causes depends on the difference between the casting level and the subject's life level.
When the difference between the two is greater than 10, the subject will be instantly killed. If the difference between the two is between 5 and 10, the subject will not die immediately, but the triple negative status of "confusion", "shock" and "deafness" will be superimposed , the difference between the two is between 1 and 5, the subject suffers from the double negative status of "shock" and "deafness", the two are equal, and the subject will only fall into temporary deafness.
If the caster level is lower than the subject's hit level, the subject is unaffected by the word of chaos.
Joan copied the spell configuration of the "Chaos Mantra", and then analyzed the wreckage of the "Mind-Eating Ooze Monster".
Among the abilities that this kind of psychic creature is good at, there is only one "psychic control technique" that Joan has never learned.
This level 1 ability is similar to "Hand of the High Mage", which can be used to open locks or disarm traps remotely, with a maximum load of 100 pounds, and can also remotely attack enemies with swords.
Next it was Shakluf's turn, and the psychic powers that Joan analyzed from his remains were mostly "psychic transformation", which was equivalent to the "Evocation School" in arcane arts. Come on, only five are new knowledge.
The first is the fifth-level ability "rebirth from the ashes of fire", the soul that suffered fatal trauma automatically escapes into the nearby fire source to hide, and reshape the body after a day.
The specific usage was demonstrated by Shakluf himself not long ago. Fortunately, Joan was alert enough at the time to find out that his soul was missing and immediately cast a spell to track it down. Finally, Shakluf who escaped into the fire was pulled out.
Generally speaking, "Rebirth from the Ashes" is equivalent to the poor man's version of "Surrogate Death", and its applicability is not as good as "Surrogate Death". The ability to protect oneself, the only thing stronger than the "surrogate death technique", seems to be saving money.
What Qiao An analyzed next was the 6th-level power "undetermined whereabouts". After manifesting the power, he can perform a short-distance teleportation within the field of vision every round, which is equivalent to a free "any door". The number of continuous rounds is proportional to the level of manifesting power .
Shakluf also has a sixth-level ability called "Anti-Energy Field", which can choose one of the five energy types of cold, lightning, fire, acid erosion, and sound wave. After manifesting the ability, it is temporarily immune to the damage of this energy.
The function of the "anti-energy field" is similar to that of the "Suppressing Flame Ball", but there are more types of energy available for immunity, and it can not only protect itself, but also expand to a radius of 10 feet outside the body, and include companions around it into the protective cover .
Seeing this ability, Joan couldn't help but rejoice that when he sneaked into Saul's laboratory to backstab, Shakluf either didn't have time to activate the "anti-energy field", or the attribute for immunity was not fire, otherwise he would bury it again. Even more "delayed burst fireballs" can't kill him.
There are two seventh-level psychic powers that Shakluf is good at, "energy wave" and "power reversal".
"Energy Wave" Joan has already learned that "Power Reversal" is the psychic version of "Spell Reversal".
The 8th-level ability "Mind Control Orb" is similar to the arcane version of "Smart Orb", so there is nothing to say.
Finally, there is the 9th-level ability "star matter storm". The manifester extracts the star matter and makes it hover at high speed, forming a tornado column similar to a sandstorm, and uses telekinetic power to remotely control the whirlwind movement.
This ability looks a lot like the 8th-level arcane "Whirlwind", but it is more powerful. Creatures swept away by the ectoplasmic storm must first suffer force field damage of level 15, followed by an additional level 10 mind Hurt, physically and spiritually, will be devastated by the storm.
"Stellar Storm" also has its own augmentation mode. For every additional 1 point of psychic energy invested in the manifestation, the force field and psychic damage caused by the storm will each increase by 1 energy level.
As we all know, psychic powers lack an energy transmission and information processing network similar to the "magic net". Compared with magic, there are many shortcomings, and the means of large-scale long-range killing are especially lacking.
Among the abilities below Legendary, "Stellar Storm" is considered to be the most powerful means of long-range group attack.
In Odis, there are only a handful of mind flayers who are good at the 9th-level ability "astral storm", and Shakluf is one of them. "Twenty-Five Boys" sneaked in from behind and stabbed him, and died extremely aggrieved.
"Maybe this is life."
Joan sighed sympathetically.
There is also Dr. Saul who is dying.
Joan analyzed 6 new abilities from him, all of which belonged to the "Spiritual Creation Department" and corresponded to the "School of Conjuration" in the arcane field.
