Volume 20 Chapter 221 Planting Spies
After asking some more information from this guy whose confidence collapsed, I had an intuitive idea of this Odin invasion. However, although the original target of these guys was not us, because they miscalculated the situation, it now seems that the invasion of the Odin Protoss is not a good thing for us, even if their original target was Olin. The Pisce Protoss, this has not changed at all. After all, many Olympus Protoss have defected to us in this battle. However, due to the lack of information, the Odin Protoss does not know these situations at all. At most, they know. Dis's family is no longer a member of the Olympus Protoss, but Poseidon's men certainly don't regard it as another force. Even Hades's force, I think with the character of the Odin Protoss, they encountered They will attack in the same way without distinguishing the difference between the two.
After considering the current situation, I asked the guy with the eye on his shoulder again. "Where did all the Star Temple personnel who passed here before go?"
"It's all in the underworld over there."
"Underground world?"
Seeing that I didn't seem to believe it, the guy quickly explained: "I didn't lie to you, it's really the underground world. There are not many people here this time, and we are divided into several task groups. Our group is You have seen the strength of three people. It is impossible for us to recruit so many people in Dingxing Temple with just a few people like us. So we designed an illusion to lead them all to the fork in the road. The location not far ahead is just right. There is an entrance to the dungeon. It's quite deep down there. I got them in and circled around a few times, but they couldn't find their way back. They're probably still going around in circles now."
This guy's explanation made me believe him. After all, I do know the strength of the three of them. They were subdued so easily just now, and their fighting power is indeed a bit scummy. If he said that the three of them joined forces to defeat all the Star Gods, then I would be suspicious. . But to be honest, being able to lure all those star gods away is amazing enough. After all, there are still a few beings with strong anti-illusion abilities among the twelve star gods. It is indeed strange that such people can be lured away.
"Do you think that among the star gods in the Star Temple there are beings who can resist illusions? So it is impossible for me to trick them into going astray?" That guy's life is now in my hands, so he is afraid of me I thought he was lying. When I saw the slightest hesitation on my part, I quickly explained. After all, if you lose your life, you lose everything. This kind of thing cannot be done carelessly.
Since he said it all, I nodded and admitted it. The boy immediately explained nervously: "This is like this. My ability is not exactly about creating illusions." He pointed to the moment next to him as he spoke. Small grass, and then use your hands, the grass immediately started to move. Then the ground next to the grass continued to rise and fall and changed several times. Then it gradually became wetter, and finally turned into a small swamp, and then continued to dry out. Eventually it became a piece of dry and cracked land. After performing all this, he continued to explain: "As you can see, my ability is mainly to control these natural environments to a certain extent, so what I create cannot be said to be illusions. The plants you see are still plants. Land is still land. They all really exist, but their positions have moved. And this movement is not an illusion, it has really changed its position, so the illusion I only created does not require the use of magic power like an illusion. Maintained. This is why my illusion cannot be seen through."
"It's not really impossible to see through it."
"Who said that? My illusion..." The guy wanted to refute as soon as he heard me denying his illusion, but suddenly he thought that he was caught because I saw through it. So the words he was about to say were stuck there. "Sorry, although I know you may not say it. But I still want to ask, how did you discover my illusion?"
"This question is actually easy to answer, because I didn't notice your illusion at all."
"You didn't notice? Then you..."
"I found you." I interrupted him directly and said: "You and your companions are hiding so close to the road, but as a God Killer, you think I might not feel someone so close to me. The Clan of Gods?”
"You, you, you..." That guy was just subdued by me before, but now he is completely frightened. God Killer does not mean that you are considered a God Killer by killing one or two Gods. You must have caused significant damage to a certain God organization and killed at least two digits of Gods with your own hands. You can only get this title. , and along with this title came at least two digits of fallen gods. If you are a god-killer and say such words in front of a protoss, it is equivalent to saying "I am a murderer" in front of an ordinary person. That is something that can definitely scare people to death. Especially after the other person has experienced your terror.
"Don't be so nervous. You are not on my prey list yet, so in order to never get on that list, you just need to continue your performance just now. So far, I am quite satisfied with your cooperation."
As if he was relieved, the guy with the fastest text updates, no pop-ups and no ads looked at me with lingering fear and asked: "Then what else do you want?"
I smiled and said: "Of course, I know everything you need to know, but don't worry, my credit is quite good, so since you have not actively violated my requirements, I will not hurt you. If you wish, you can leave now. But I have a side proposal that I wonder if you are willing to accept."
"You say."
"How about joining us?"
"Ah?" The guy obviously didn't expect that I would suddenly ask such a question, but after just a brief hesitation, he immediately nodded and said: "As long as you have a way to remove my divine power mark from the divine power core of the Odin Protoss, Once I get out of the way, I will agree to join you. You don’t know one thing. In fact, I am not from the Odin protoss in the first place.”
I nodded calmly and said, "This is one of the reasons why I invited you to join."
"What? You know?"
"Don't make such a fuss. It's not surprising at all. Don't you think you are a lot like Odin?"
My words reminded this guy, and he reacted immediately, then nodded and said, "That's it. I understand."
In fact, it is very simple to know whether this guy is not the original Odin protoss. This can be seen from his behavioral habits. Unlike most of the protoss, especially those with a large number of members like Tianting, the members of the Odin protoss basically all have the same personality, which is very rare in other protoss. Although it is said that birds of a feather flock together, and there will be some similarities between the various gods within the same god clan, there will always be differences in the specific personalities of different god clans. It is very normal for two or even more gods with completely opposite personalities to appear in a clan of gods. However, this is not the case with the Odin Protoss. Almost all the gods in the entire Odin clan have a common character trait, which is tenacity, violence and unyielding.
Whether these guys appear to be impatient and reckless, or cool and collected, in fact they are all the same at heart. You can force a protoss to surrender to you, but you cannot force an Odin protoss to surrender to you. They are almost impossible to tame. Speaking of which, the characters of these guys feel like barbarians. Although they may be relatively simple, they are very tough and aggressive. According to some analysis of the European Protoss forces that Rose and the others did when they were bored. The final conclusion is. If you want to conquer members of the Odin Protoss, the best method to use is - influence. Yes, these guys all have hot heads. The more you push them, the more they will resist. On the contrary, it is easier for them to recognize you if you find ways to move them.
Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that the person in front of me surrendered so easily. Moreover, a guy who is extremely afraid of death is obviously inconsistent with the character of the Odin protoss, so I came to the conclusion that this guy is an outsider.
In the end, my guess was confirmed based on this guy's self-report. He was not an aboriginal member of the Odin Protoss, but a foreign protoss. He was originally a "free" god, that is, the kind of god who has no nationality and can wander around.
On the surface it seems. This kind of protoss seems to be very happy because they are not restricted. You can run around, unlike the regional gods who are fixed within their own sphere of influence. If you want to go out occasionally, you have to think of a lot of ways to get permission. However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that these guys are actually miserable. They are indeed not restricted by geography, but in fact, compared with the lives of the gods who belong to them, their lives seem to be the difference between office workers and homeless people. Office workers work from 9 to 5 every day, which seems very unfree, but they have a salary, can buy what they want, have a warm home, and occasionally go out for a little fun. But homeless people are different. Although they can run around and sleep whenever they want during the day, they have no source of income. They can only rely on begging for daily necessities. Buying anything is almost a luxury, and they can't even get a home.
These "free" gods are almost like homeless people. Although they are "free", they lack the most important thing for the gods, which is the power of faith. No protoss does not need the power of faith, but the wandering protoss has no fixed place to live, so they have no believers of their own and cannot collect the power of faith. These guys are just beggars among the Gods, just a bunch of wretches. If they want to gain the power of faith, they can only rely on helping a certain local god to do temporary work, such as doing some very risky work. The rewards are often inconsistent with the nature of the work, and they are even often rejected. Anyway, they can't do anything to those local gods.
For these reasons, the strength of the "Free" God Clan is usually very poor. After all, without the power of faith, there is no source of power, so it is understandable that the strength is poor. However, because they are not bound to one area, these guys often have diverse experiences, so their abilities are often not as specific as those of the orthodox regional gods. Some "free" gods may know many kinds of messy abilities, and their abilities are sometimes very strange. Like this guy just now, he can actually change the terrain without leaving any magic fluctuations at all. Speaking of which, this ability is not very powerful, but it is indeed quite practical in certain special circumstances. Of course, even so, he is still a useless protoss. Although I don't have to work hard to deal with the real protoss, it is really rare to see them as weak as ordinary guild players.
Because this guy was not a member of the Odin Protoss, and the Odin Protoss had only recently accepted him, he had no sense of belonging to the Odin Protoss at all, so he naturally had no pressure to start a new job.
After he fully accepted the job-hopping offer, I started briefing him about the situation. "I want you to change jobs not so that you can come to our guild right away, but because I need you to act as a spy to help us get intelligence."
"What?" Even though this guy is a protoss, he is very timid because of his experience with the "free" protoss. As soon as he heard that he wanted to be a spy, he immediately shook his head nervously and said, "I can't do this. If he is discovered, he will be arrested." They threw it to Hadimos as rations!"
"Calm down, calm down." I comforted the guy first, and then I started to say: "There are many types of spies. Spies who steal military intelligence, or carry out infiltration, sabotage, and assassination of people do need very high abilities. , and you obviously do not have that kind of ability and expertise. However, I have no intention of letting you pry into this information."
"Then what do I do?"
"Your job is to have a good relationship with all the members of the Odin Protoss, and then I want you to find those individuals who are very strong or have outstanding development potential. Anyway, as long as they are promising talents."
The guy nodded and said, "That's all?"
"This is only the first step, and the second step is to try to get close to these gods, to please them, to have a good relationship with them, and to understand their lives."
"What does it mean to understand their lives?"
“It’s about finding out their emotional characteristics, such as who has enemies, or what wishes they always want to realize, as well as their hobbies, what they particularly hate, what they lack resistance to, and so on. Details of life. Most people don’t pay too much attention to hiding these things. Even if they are asked face to face, they rarely have a particularly strong reaction. And I need you to investigate this information and then try to report it to us. "
"It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just these things."
"That's all I need. I think you can handle it."
The guy nodded and said with certainty: "I can definitely do this."
Hearing his assurance, I nodded with a devilish smile: "Very good, let's sign an agreement now, and then give me a copy of your divine power mark, and I will add it to our Chaos and Order Clan. With the core of divine power, you will regularly receive the power of faith from our guild in the future. Believe me, that will be much more than what you get from the Odin Protoss."
