Mage Joan

With a self-deprecating smile, the young mage dispelled the absurd thoughts in his mind, and cast a constant 3-level spell "corruption of the body" for his clone.

This body has no soul and is essentially closer to a freeze-dormant "vegetable", but the "preservation of the body" can also take effect on it normally.

Qiao An re-sealed the coffin, blessed a variety of protection and warning spells, reduced it by casting spells, and brought it back to Jinli Castle, where he entrusted the ancient book old man to keep it on his behalf.

Dad always stayed on the top floor of the castle, not leaving his pile of ancient treasure books, Qiao An put the ice coffin containing the clones here, and he could go out with confidence.

After saying goodbye to the old book father and the sisters and brothers of the activating spell, Qiao An used "Transportation from Other Worlds", and his figure quickly disappeared into a beam of light rising into the sky.

...

On May 22, 1626, a quarter past seven in the evening surface time.

In the "fifth zone" of the gloomy region, a beam of light suddenly rose in the underground vault near the death bell beetle's nest.

The black mage walked out of the teleportation formation and waved his hand to create a magical cold light, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and his fair and delicate face was also illuminated.

Illuminated by the magic light source, Qiao Ann turned and looked at the fork in the road leading to the depths of the ground.

Last fall, he and Elder Gamodo visited here on an expedition. They still remember the fork on the left leading to the death knell beetle’s nest, and the tunnel on the right, which was covered by numerous large eyeball-shaped fungi, was said to lead to a "big-eyed tyrant" "'S lair.

Maybe it’s because he was born with a strange bloodline and has a deformed eyeball at the back of his neck. Qiao An has always been interested in the mysterious and powerful "Goblin". He has collected and read a lot of research on the physiology and psychology of the beholder. Characteristic literature, as the understanding of this creature deepens, interest is also increasing.

According to documentary records, the beholder family was born on the outer plane. Their ancestors did not have a name, and their descendants did not think it was necessary to give her a name. "Mother" is her only name.

The entire group of beholders and their various subspecies are undoubtedly derived from the blood of the "major mother".

The beholders are dangerous and powerful, but there is still an overwhelming factor preventing them from establishing a huge empire to rule the world.

By human standards, beholders are more or less suffering from congenital mental illnesses.

The temperament of the beholder is withdrawn and surly, moody, cruel and combative, and often teases or even tortures innocent people at will, so that in the dark area, the word "tyrant" has become a synonym for the beholder.

Most beholders are born with severe "persecution paranoia". They don't know what level their appearance is among living species. Instead, they wishfully believe that they are too perfect, so they are jealous of other lower creatures, even if they live. There were no other creatures inhabiting nearby, and they couldn't help being suspicious. They always felt that someone was hiding in a hidden corner planning a conspiracy in an attempt to plot themselves.

The beholder is still hopelessly arrogant, despising all other creatures, even his own compatriots.

Many beholders have no reason to assert that they are the only role models in the ethnic group and are naturally beautiful. As for those compatriots who look quite different from themselves, they are the ugly monsters that shame the entire group of beholders.

Because of the pretentious and self-respecting mentality of the beholder family, it is difficult for compatriots to maintain equal and stable emotional bonds.

A group of so-called "good sisters" often tear their faces and break out conflicts because of trivial matters, and when the situation deteriorates to the point where it is "ugly" to insult each other face to face, it is inevitable that they will become enemies.

As for those beholders who are unusual in appearance, dressed up or physically disabled, they will be collectively rejected by their compatriots. The two virtues of "respect for individuality" and "compassion for the weak" have never been possessed by the beholder.

The knowledge obtained from books may not be completely true. If you want to study the habits and ecology of beholders, you have to observe and collect first-hand information.

It is a pity that Qiao An has not seen a live beholder with his own eyes.

Not to mention the real "Giant Eye Tyrant", even those lower "subspecies beholders", such as "Eye of Insight", "Eye of Gauss", "Eye of Dead Kiss", etc., he has never been close. Have been in contact-of course, the "eye of insight" you have turned into by casting a spell is not counted.

In fact, Qiao An had known as early as five years ago that there was a beholder city named "Udinos" in the depths of the dark region. It is said that there are no less than a hundred beholders inhabited there, and there are countless subspecies of beholders. , And the heart-removing demon city "Odith" are called the two most dangerous restricted areas in the underground world.

The mind-severs are willing to share thoughts and emotions with their compatriots, advocating collective life, and living in groups are normal. On the contrary, most beholders are withdrawn and suspicious by nature, prefer to live alone, and only live in groups under rare special circumstances-in Joe According to Ann, these two diametrically opposed forms of community have high research value.

At first, Joan learned of Udinese's rumors from Medea.

At that time, they were cooperating on a research on petrochemical effects. The beholders who were born to cast petrochemical rays were once included in the research category. Later, because the risk of capturing live beholders was too high, they had to give up this sample.

Last year, when elder Gua caught the death knell beetle, Qiao An accidentally discovered this tunnel. It is said that at the end of the tunnel, besides a solitary beholder, there is also a umbilicus leading to Udinese.

This rumor once again evoked his strong interest in beholders. At that time, due to the dissuasion of Elder Gu, it was inconvenient to go deep into the tunnel and only recorded the coordinates on the "navigation compass."

Today, Qiao An is returning to his hometown, alone without concern. Even if he encounters an accident, his soul will return to Yunzhong City, merge with the clone that was cultivated in advance, and come back to life, so he can confidently explore the beholder's lair.

If you want to ask him, there are so many weird species in the world, why is he so fascinated by the ugly-looking and unpopular beholder family?

Qiao An can only admit that he saw his own shadow from the beholder, such as born deformity, withdrawn and out-of-group, possessing powerful magical powers, but his spirit is on the verge of losing control, as if there is a devil living in his heart, always unable to restrain abuse Violent impulse.

At the same time, he also saw the characteristics he longed for but did not possess from the beholder:

Nearly paranoid self-confidence, will never be influenced by others to doubt yourself, do not understand what is inferiority, what is depression, even if the facts prove that they are not as perfect as they think, they still believe that they are right, the world is wrong!

Having grown into that kind of virtue, with such a bad personality, he can still maintain the self-confidence of the fascinating.

Qiao An couldn't help being envious of the beholder's mentality.

If he hadn't been born as a human, he would rather be a beholder who lives alone and feels good about himself.
