Chapter 2897 Is Human

In the end, Inanna begged Joan almost with tears in her eyes: "My lord, please don't give up your rights in order to protect me, otherwise it will only cause us both a lot of pain!"

"Mitra, I have always felt that your way of educating Inanna is too radical and does not conform to the tradition of beholders, but I have to admit that Inanna was trained by you to understand the general situation, and she has the self-knowledge that ordinary beholders extremely lack. It's really rare, you should listen to her advice and make a rational choice that is best for both of you." Saoirse said softly.

Joan shook his head lightly.

"The key is not who is more qualified to take the position of supreme, but that I am not qualified to inherit the throne at all."

"It's really not your style to say such inferior words."

Saoirse continued to persuade patiently.

"Mitra, you and Inanna are the flesh and blood of His Majesty. Your disadvantage is nothing more than that you have just repaired the main eye and have not yet awakened the power of mythology. The powerful strength and leadership demonstrated by the mind flayers in the territory, defense against foreign enemies, and crusade against Odes have already been recognized by the nobles of the city. If you succeed, everyone will be convinced in their hearts even if they are not convinced. Inanna is too old after all. You are young, no matter your strength, qualifications or achievements are far from yours, you can't convince the public, and you are more qualified to take over the throne after a comprehensive comparison."

"Master Saoirse, the problem is that I am not the flesh and blood of the Supreme."

"Mitra, please stop being self-willed! What crazy things are you talking about at this time!" Saoirse finally became impatient.

Joan sighed, simply canceled the "mythical disguise", and changed back to human form in front of Saoirse and Inanna.

"I'm sorry, Saoirse-sama, and Inanna, there is something I have been keeping from you. In fact, the real Mitra died two years ago on the way out of the city to hunt down Astaroth. To be precise, Assassinated by me, after that, I returned to Udinos in the form of Mitra, and lived in the city pretending to be her until today."

"Lord Saoirse, I am not Ishtar's real daughter, but the murderer who murdered Mitra, who stole Mitra's identity and life."

"Inanna, I'm not your sister Mitra. I don't want to live a life of self-deception. Rather than stealing the throne of the Beholder Queen, I would rather keep my original face when I was born and live this life as a human being."

Qiao An felt relieved when he finally told the secret that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

Saoirse and Inanna stared at all the main eyes and stalking eyes in astonishment, staring blankly at Mitra, who suddenly became very strange, and were at a loss for a moment.

"Mother...are you joking?" Inanna's voice trembled. "Actually, you are not a real beholder, but... a human being?"

Am I really human?

In me, do I have more human elements, or am I closer to a monster?

This question once puzzled Joan, prompting him to step out of human society and devote himself to the dark regions, trying to find his true self.

He pondered for two years in the dark underground world, experienced many things, tortured his soul countless times, and finally smelted a definite answer like ore was burned by raging flames in a furnace.

"Yes, Inanna, I am human."

Joan replied in a calm but extremely firm tone.

"How is this possible... If you are a human being, using magic to transform into Mitra's appearance and move around Udinos, how can you hide from the eyes of me and the Supreme, and how can you maintain a disguise under the illumination of the anti-magic cone? "

The mental shock caused by the truth is too strong, and Saoirse has not been able to accept it until now.

"Mitra, tell me honestly, everything you just said is a lie, and you just made up this ridiculous rhetoric in order to refuse the right to inherit the throne, right?"

"Lord Saoirse, I'm sorry to disappoint you. What I just said is the truth."

"I have a way to hide it from all of you, that is, I can maintain a disguise in the anti-magic field. If you don't believe me, you might as well take a look at Inanna. Before she opened her main eye, did you see that her main eye has recovered? And also awakened the mythical power?"

Joan's calm questioning made Saoirsa's doubts quickly turn into panic, and her body couldn't help shaking.

"That is to say... not only did you pretend to be flawless, but you also used the same method on your adopted daughter to make Inanna look the same... Mitra, if you can really do these things, wouldn't you You can come and go in and out of the city of Udinos at will, and you can kill whoever you want, even me and His Majesty have no privacy in front of you...Damn it! What kind of monster are you?!"

Your Excellency the Prime Minister, who has always been calm and composed, has almost collapsed.

"Lord Saoirse, Mother is not a monster, but a human being!" Inanna became inexplicably excited, "If I'm not mistaken, Mother's real identity... is probably Joan, a visiting scholar at Colosseum University. Doctor Vader!"

Joan glanced at her daughter and felt relieved for her intelligence.

"Inanna guessed right, I am Joan Vida."

"Sure enough! Let me just say, unless he lived in Udinos for a long time and observed the beholder society at close range, how could Dr. Vader write that paper on the ecology of beholders that contains countless real details!"

Inanna waved her eye stems excitedly, circling in the air.

After the initial shock, Saoirse barely restrained the chaotic thoughts in her mind that were about to explode, calmed down a little, and gave Inanna an angry look.

"Being cheated, why are you so happy?!"

"Oh! What does it matter if you are cheated by my mother, anyway, there is no malice!" Inanna happily raised her eyes, "My mother is the person I admire the most, and Dr. Vida is my academic idol. Now two The combination of the two into one, of course I have reason to be happy, I am so happy!"

"Crazy! You are all crazy!" Saoirse was furious, "Inanna! Don't you suspect that this liar has sneaked into the city and what is his intention?"

"Do you even need to ask? Mother pretends to be a beholder and lives in Udinos, of course to observe the beholders and study the ecology and culture of this species!"

Inanna replied confidently.

"Are you kidding me? Who would risk infiltrating into the Nest City of the Demon Eye just to do research and write a thesis?" Saoirse couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily, "If it's either I'm crazy, or both of you are crazy!"
