Chapter 2511 Incomplete Beholder Crown
"No enchanting technique is useless!" Astaru shook his head again and again, "Master Mitra said that the main eye of the beholder crown is actually a very special artificial gemstone, and only the mind flayer Elder Sha of Odes Maier knows how to synthesize this kind of gemstone, unless you plan to make a deal with the elder mind flayer, as Mitra-sama did in private... otherwise you can only get the main-eye gem from Mitra-sama— —God knows how much she paid for this gem in exchange for it from Samael!"
Joan heard what she meant, and followed her words to ask: "Do you know where Mitra hides the gemstone of the main eye?"
"If I knew, wouldn't I have stolen the gemstone of the main eye?" Astaru sighed depressingly, "For Lord Mitra, the value of the beholder crown is fully reflected in the gemstone of the main eye." , the other ten eye stalk gems are irrelevant, if I were her, I would also remove the main eye gem and carry it close to my body for peace of mind!"
Joan fully understood her intentions.
In order to advance to the special profession of "Magic Eye Arcanist", Mitra did not hesitate to destroy her main eye. Since then, she has lost the supernatural ability of "anti-magic cone". cone", and it is even possible to restore the light to the main eye.
In contrast, removing the beholder crown from the main eye gemstone is not necessary, after all, she is a beholder herself, and it doesn't matter whether she wears the beholder crown or not!
While thinking about it, Joan cast a spell to identify the magic eye crown, and found that the craftsmanship of this magic weapon is different from the enchanting techniques popular among humans, elves, dwarves, giants and even dragons. Many details are closer to spiritual weapons, but they are also different from Qiao An. Ann mastered the spirit weapon manufacturing process.
Astaroth had hinted just now that the beholder crown came from the mind flayer of Odes, and was later taken by her master Mitra. This is even more strange, because the mind flayer specially made it What do you want to do with a crown that turns into a beholder when you wear it?
Reminiscing that the mind flayers of Odis and the beholders of Udinos are well-known enemies in the Underdark, Joan vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Judging from the current appraisal results, Joan had to admit that, at least in the short term, he couldn't think of any good way to repair the magic eye crown. It would be more practical to try to obtain the main eye gemstone.
As Astaru said just now, there are two ways to get the main eye gem. You can either go to Odis to find the mind flayer elder, or get Mitra's idea. Both of them are not easy to mess with. In contrast, Joan I think Mitra is probably the softer "persimmon".
"Astaroth, do you dare to take me to Mitra?"
"Don't dare!" "Eye of the Kiss of Death" replied decisively, and before Joan frowned and got angry, he quickly added, "But I have a way to help you lure Mitra out of her lair and come to her door to die! "
Aren't beholders always squatting at home and never moving their nests? How can I seduce her out?
Joan looked at Astaroth in amazement. If it weren't for the testimony of "discernment of lies", he would have suspected that this guy was talking about horses and carriages again, blowing the air out of the sky.
"Hey! Master Mage, you don't know something! Beholders have a deep-rooted superstition that has prevailed since ancient times, and they believe that dreaming is an ominous omen."
Astaru stuck out his long tongue, licked his dry lips, and then revealed the secrets of the beholders to Joan.
"Beholders are very suspicious. They usually keep part of their eyes open during sleep and stay on alert. But occasionally, because they are too tired, they close all their eyes unknowingly and enter a deep sleep. At this time, dreams may occur."
"It's okay if you dream about other things, but it's terrible if you dream about another beholder. This is a very bad omen!"
Speaking of this, Astaroth couldn't help trembling all over, dancing ten tentacles wildly, so excited that he couldn't hold it.
"Don't be surprised, just tell me what you have to say, what is the omen that the beholder dreams of his own compatriots?" Joan asked angrily.
"Master Mage, beholders generally believe that only when their own lifespan is near the end, will they dream of another beholder. This is a game hosted by the god of death, a competition for survival!"
"If the beholder recognizes the compatriots in the dream, it means that he is likely to die at the hands of the other party. He must take precautions early. It is best to act first and kill the beholder. Only in this way can the omen be resolved and the crisis be overcome. .”
"What if the dream is a strange beholder?" Joan thought of another possibility.
"Then we can only track down that strange old enemy through all channels based on the clues seen in the dream, until we find her out and kill her, then the disaster will be resolved." Astaru replied without thinking.
"Wait first!" Joan discovered the blind spot, "If the beholder in the dream does not exist in reality, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to track an illusory image?"
"Actually, this kind of situation does exist!" Astaru nodded seriously, "Every once in a while, a beholder will leave Udinos alone to pursue the phantom that does not exist, and eventually die. On the way to pursue the old enemy."
"How can there be such a person... This is too stupid!" Joan couldn't laugh or cry.
He had known for a long time that the beholder was born mentally unsound, but he never expected to be so insane.
"Beholders are not human, master mage, you can't look at the customs of beholders from a human perspective."
Astaroth shook his tentacles, as if shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands.
"What kind of weird custom is this! Go after without even a definite goal, and in the end you don't know whether the thing you're looking for exists or not. No matter what angle you look at, this kind of behavior is completely unreasonable and pure. Asking for trouble!"
Joan commented angrily.
"That's why I say this is a kind of superstition. Even if it's unreasonable, even if you can't find anything in the end, and die lonely and desolate in the gutter, there are still beholders who are willing to believe in the phantoms in dreams. What can you do with them? do it."
Astaru sighed long, his eyes full of helplessness.
Qiao An was stunned for a moment, as if infected by her, she couldn't help sighing, and muttered to herself deeply.
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, some of my own words and deeds are completely unreasonable in the eyes of decent people. They are purely asking for trouble..."
If he is a normal person in the eyes of the public, he should not be in the Beholder Cave at this moment, but should be working under General Vasa's account, serving as the chief military mage of the "Continental Army", contributing to the War of Independence and at the same time Earn a fame by yourself and win a great future.
