Chapter 3028 Great Migration

Joan can't say that beholders are more worthy of preference than mind flayers, maybe it's just because beholders are mostly on the side of being harassed and bullied in the fight against mind flayers, and the weaker side always motivates him more compassion.

However, wouldn't his protection of the beholder clan go too far?

The reason why the young mage had such reflections was because Metatron revealed in his letter that Noah, the mastermind of Odis, called a meeting of the citizens of the city yesterday and announced a shocking decision.

Noah plans to lead all the citizens of the city to leave Odes in a conch shell ship, completely abandoning this soul-absorbing city where the mind flayers have lived for thousands of years, first take a boat to the star world, and then follow the original travel route of the ancestors , reversely moved to a safer crystal wall system, which is the so-called "Vault No. 42".

In the context of mind flayers, "refuge" specifically refers to "non-magic crystal walls". In such a world, psionic energy can function normally, and magic and most other supernatural forces will be suppressed. For mind flayers who are naturally proficient in psionics, this environment is indeed safer.

During the long interstellar travel in the past, the mind flayers have accumulated a large amount of knowledge about various planes and crystal wall systems. Every time they break into a new world, they will always send out an expedition team to conduct a systematic investigation of the local environment, and will The relevant data is stored in the main brain.

If the crystal wall system has not been infiltrated by the magic net, and there are no natural enemies of the mind flayer family, it will be marked as a "refuge". In case of a crisis that cannot be resisted in the future, you can escape to the refuge to avoid the limelight.

Enemies of the mind flayer family, unless they are also good at psychic powers, are unlikely to be tracked to a demon-free world, which is exactly the value of the refuge.

Joan's identity in Odis is a "vagrant", and he is not eligible to participate in the citizens' meeting because of his guilt. He hardened his heart to abandon his homeland and lead his people to escape from Vales Tianyu, probably because of the psychological shadow caused by the previous revenge actions of the beholders. He was worried that if he didn't flee, he would be wiped out by the beholders sooner or later!

In fact, the current situation of the beholder clan is worse than that of the mind flayers. Udinos, who has no supreme being, is trapped in internal strife, and has neither the ability nor the willingness to go to Odes.

However, Qiao An couldn't use these reasons to convince the mastermind, otherwise wouldn't it expose his collusion with the beholder clan?

Taking a step back, the collective migration of the mind flayers is actually not a bad thing. If there is one less Odis in the world, the world will at least not get worse.

As for Joan himself, or the identity of "Faster" Nosti, of course he doesn't want to leave the world of Vares. After all, he is not a real mind flayer, so there is no reason to pack up and run away.

Moreover, he still has many missions to complete, such as helping his compatriots win the War of Independence, such as eradicating the remnants of the cult that believes in the "Mother of Monsters" Ekadna, and of course the most important thing - preventing the "Winter of Fenbulle" "Arrive, do everything you can to save this world on the edge of the cliff.

The question is, what reason should I use to refuse to board the migration ship?

This made Joan quite troubled.

He couldn't find a reasonable excuse, so he could only give up his Gnostic identity. Anyway, Odis was about to become an abandoned empty city, and it was useless to keep his Gnostic identity.

When he was in a daze, the dwarf butler Tam came in to report.

"Dear master, Lord Metatron is here, waiting for you in the living room downstairs."

"I'll go down right away."

Joan picked up the perfume bottle and sprayed it on her body twice before going downstairs to entertain the guests.

Metatron changed into a light pink coat today, and her face was a bit haggard, but when she saw Joan walking down the stairs, her eyes immediately overflowed with joy, and she trotted up to hug and kiss him.

"Brother Gnostic, you are not afraid of mold if you hide in the house all day?"

"Anyway, there is no sunshine in the dark area, so whether you go out or not has nothing to do with the mold or not." Qiao An said lightly.

Metatron had long been used to his "stealthy" style, so he wasn't angry. He held his hand affectionately as before and asked, "What do you think of the decision announced by the Mastermind at the Citizens' Assembly yesterday?"

"I don't think it's necessary." Joan said honestly, "Some time ago, the beholders did cause us a lot of trouble, but I heard that the beholders themselves are having a hard time recently, as long as we don't provoke them Crazy women, they probably wouldn't come here to find fault, and abandoning Odis just to avoid the revenge of the beholder clan is pure fuss."

"Dear Gnostic brother, I said that you have lived in seclusion for too long, you have kept your ears out of the window, and you are out of touch with society. Isn't it confirmed now? You have completely missed the point!"

Metatron shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Indeed, the beholder clan is a big threat, especially the crazy Mitra, whose strength is even stronger than the legendary monster 'Babbling Ball'. We admit that we can't provoke her, but we are not afraid of her. flee to the whole family."

"Since it's not to avoid the beholders, why did we leave Vales Tianyu and move to a boring world without demons?" Joan asked in surprise.

"A monotonous and boring world without magic? Haha, it makes sense for you to say that. After all, you are an arcanist with both magic and psionic abilities. If you have a better choice, you definitely don't want to go to the sanctuary." !"

Metatron's unintentional words reminded Joan.

It seems that my identity as an "arcanist" can be used as a reason to oppose migration.

The spiritual princess put away her smile, and her face became serious.

"Brother Gnostics, the inside story I'm going to say next is only known to the mastermind and the elders, and not to other citizens. You must not spread it to the outside world!"

"I promise to keep my mouth under control," Joan said seriously.

"We live in the underground world, and we still don't feel it yet. In fact, there are already signs of catastrophe in the surface world!"

Metatron's words made Joan's heartstrings tense, and he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by the end-time catastrophe?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, and he was only asking for confirmation by asking this question.

"'Winter of Fenbulle', 'Twilight of the Gods', it is impossible for a knowledgeable person like you not to have heard of it?"

as expected!

Qiao An barely kept her expression calm, nodded slightly, and asked her pretending to be skeptical: "These are all ancient myths circulated in the human world, can they be taken seriously?"

"To be honest, I don't fully believe it, but the great Noah asserted that this is true, and also used his legendary ability to deduce that the 'Winter of Fimbul' has come, and the world of Vales will be destroyed by this catastrophe with a high probability , then we can’t help questioning it.”

Metatron replied with a wry smile.
