544 The Eye of Truth

"Come in, strong man of mankind," came another shock wave of indistinguishable sex, and, along with this sentence, along the platform at the door of this huge hollow sphere, countless people flew from all directions. These boards are like Tetris, pieced together, and finally become a long suspended bridge directly in front of the mind flayer's 'Ping', "Also, your Madam, and that little devil, just stay at the door. What I want to discuss with you needs to be kept secret to a certain extent. Thinking about it, they are within your sight, so they shouldn’t make you feel uneasy Bar."

"You guys just wait here for me," Don Quixote gently 'patted' Lilith on the shoulder. Of course, in fact, this was the first time Lilith and the city lord met. A barrier was set up around Meikanxiet, who was in a hurry, and then he walked towards the center of the sphere where the mind flayer 'Ping' was.

Although this hollow sphere is a bit big, but with Don Quixote's speed of shrinking to an inch, just a few breaths, he came to this huge sphere. In fact, this was the first time in his life. The demons I saw at the level of the demon city lord were quite special mind flayers. If the four tentacles swinging back and forth were not considered, this huge eyeball was actually very beautiful, Don Quixote thought in his heart, It's just that after watching too many 'tentacle-type' Japanese action love cartoons in his previous life, he really didn't like tentacles.

"You are really a cautious human being," the huge eyeball suspended in the air glanced down slightly, followed by the flashing silver light.The eyeballs are huge though.There isn't even a so-called 'facial expression' to match.But in fact, Don Quixote could still see a trace of so-called curiosity in this eye. Obviously, it was the first time that the mind flayer had seen such a powerful human being.

"I don't mean to look down on the abyss world. However, what I see now is that the abyss world is too chaotic. I just passed by this city. I met a Balrog. Although it can't pose any threat to me, it has already It made me wake up the alarm in my heart. Also, can you explain in detail what you said to me earlier? To tell you the truth, I still have things to do, and it is impossible to stay here for a long time. "

"Hey," maybe it was because the eyes were too big, so the mind flayer 'Ping' blinked with a sound.To Don Quixote's ears, it was very joyful.It can even be said that the image of the mind flayer in his mind has become a little cuter, although Don Quixote knows that this is just his own subjective consciousness at work, "You and I will rule this city together."

This time, the mind flayer 'Ping' and Don Quixote are talking directly through the soul, but the mind flayer who seems to be used to body language still waved his tentacles a few times, "There are two demon lords in the city, then the city The scale of the city can be doubled or even more, and even like a super lord, it can own a small amount of territory outside the city, and all the interests in the city. After deducting the cost of running the city itself, we have one person and one demon, each half .”

"What's the reason?" Don Quixote didn't expect that the abyssal demon, or this mind flayer has such a personality, where there is no negotiation, it is simply handing over the hole card. Of course, as a monster who can rule this Don Quixote, who has been the owner of the city for hundreds of years, does not think that his IQ is a problem. It seems that one day, Li Ka-shing pulled a person on the side of the road and said, let's cooperate in finance, so no one will think that Li Ka-shing It's a lunatic, and everyone will believe that the so-called "passer-by" must be worthy of Li Ka-shing's name.

In short, in any case, as long as a life can maintain its sanity, its previous achievements determine the height of this person's thinking, so Don Quixote was neither ecstatic nor shy, but very Watched the mind flayer with interest, expecting an explanation from it. [

"This is an opportunity, for me," the mind flayer, who was swinging those tentacles that seemed more evil to Don Quixote, blinked again. Although his tone was flat, he could hear it. With a trace of longing, "You know that demons can also die, right?"

"of course."

"In fact, if I can't break through the current confinement, my lifespan will be several decades. Maybe reincarnation as a lich is my only way out, but the risk of death is also very high. Although I am not afraid of death, But I don't expect it to come. I need resources to buy soul crystals, human, demon, devil, as long as it is a soul, but after my calculations, based on the current scale of the city, my income is not enough. Not enough to last until my lifespan is exhausted, allowing me to collect enough souls."

"So that's it," Don Quixote nodded slightly, obviously understood the meaning of the demon castellan, its idea is very simple, it is to expand the scope of the city with the help of a newly joined demon castellan level powerhouse, Expand the city's human (devil) mouth, and then create more wealth so that it has enough time to collect enough souls.

Normally, Don Quixote must be skeptical about the idea of ​​"Ping". How could a dignified demon lord be short of money? No more convincing, Don Quixote's wife Xia Yaqin owns almost one-sixth of the territory of Faerun world by herself!

However, everything must be combined with reality. This is the abyss, not the world of Faerun, so many things cannot be considered with normal thinking, especially after Don Quixote wandered here for a few days, he became more clear about it. It’s different, like buying soul spars. In the abyss world, the purest soul spar that can allow people of the level of ‘level’ to increase their strength is the hardest currency in itself, and it’s not a single The soul, but the crystals extracted by removing impurities from countless souls, the demons or devils who can make this kind of thing must have the ability to protect it, basically don't even think about it.

And as the city lord who guards the city.There is no way for him to leave here.Once he's gone.Then it is conceivable that when it comes back, whether the city exists is a problem. You must know that this is the abyss, and the abyss is such a mess!

To take a step back, even if 'Ping' has some avatar skills and can grab them, but the reality is.This kind of extremely precious hard currency will not be produced in a lot. If he wants to grab enough for him to upgrade his level, he just looks in the mirror, so there are only two ways in front of 'Ping'. Buy enough raw materials and make it yourself, or It is to buy enough finished products directly, no matter which one, it needs a huge amount of money and materials to exchange.

"I understand what you mean." After thinking for a moment, Don Quixote looked up at the big silver eyes. "However, why would you trust me? For a stranger who has never met, even told me your most important secret, to be honest, there is no sense of trust between us."

"Hey," the mind flayer blinked again, and when it opened its eyes again, Don Quixote saw from the huge eyes that the color of his own image seemed to have changed, from the normal The color changed to silver, the same color as the mind flayer's eyes. If he hadn't been aware of the details, he might have thought that his reflection had disappeared. "The innate ability of the abyssal mind flayer, the eye of truth! I think, The blood lady standing at the door behind you should know it well."

"Legends say that a mature mind flayer has a magical ability that allows it to see the reality of the world with its huge eyes. In other words, the rules of the abyss world, the common sense of the abyss world, The definition of the so-called 'morality' in the abyss world is the premise, and any life that exists in the abyss world is black or white, good or evil, and the mind flayer can see clearly."

"However," Don Quixote had already learned the information he wanted to know from Lilith through the secret technique of sound transmission, but he still had doubts in his heart, "Your Excellency 'Ping', this world is not a fixed board game, Nothing is absolute, and the most important thing is that the thoughts of the conscious body will change, how can you be sure that a person you don’t know will not have certain changes in the future, such as betraying you, when a demon enters After the aging period, its combat effectiveness should also decline, right?"

"The thinking of the conscious body will change, but, except for lunatics," Mind Flayer's tentacles suddenly tapped a few times in the void, probably dealing with certain things in this city with one mind and two purposes , Obviously, this is also a necessary condition for building your own power in the abyss world, "The thinking of any conscious body must inherit its previous thinking. In my eyes of truth, Your Excellency is an absolutely orderly and kind person. Existence, to be honest, at first I even thought I was wrong, after all, you never showed mercy when you killed the Balrog, but the observations of the past few days tell me that your kindness and easy-going are true, Only when you meet someone who threatens you, will you reveal your decisive side."

"For a person like you, as long as I can show enough sincerity, I don't think there will be any problem in cooperation. Even if for some reason, you can't reach an agreement with me in the end, I am willing to believe that you will not reveal a The secret of the demon lord who took the initiative to express his goodwill to you, by the way, just now, the Balrog you killed seems to be from his family."

"Hehe, thank you for your trust. Although it is based on your innate ability, I still want to thank you," Don Quixote said with an 'official' expression on his face, "Well, give me some time, it won't be long, After I finish dealing with the matter at hand, I will come back and give you an answer. As for the so-called Balrog, it just so happens that I am short of money recently." [

""——

"Goddess Mystra," on the way out of this strange building, although Don Quixote still had a smile on his face, but he felt as if thousands of mud horses were galloping together in his heart. Let him know that this so-called real eye is, in a sense, very similar to the "brain wave reading technique" he has mastered, but the degree is higher. There are many, but the problem lies here. I am afraid that in the thousands of years since the establishment of the abyss world, the escaped one should appear for the first time. Even if it is only the projection of Don Quixote, this body is also It has the characteristics of Don Quixote's soul, an aura of affinity.

At this point, things become clear. The Mind Flayer, a demon lord who has been playing with souls for a lifetime, instantly absorbed a large amount of soul fluctuations from Don Quixote because of the Eye of Truth. The demon 'Ping' not only misjudged, but also unknowingly developed a very good impression of Don Quixote, but because he is male, this affection has also been transformed into a conditional feeling for himself The Trust of the 'Eye of Truth'.

This is how the current series of events developed. Therefore, when Don Quixote passed the "programming rules" and had a general understanding of what happened, he smiled wryly for a while, and then a hint of cooperation arose in his heart. After all, starting from scratch is more difficult than this kind of basic cooperation. Of course, he still abides by the negotiation rules, and the person being asked should never show impatience, so he wants to let it go and fulfill the agreement with the blood clan first. Promise!
