Chapter 2529 Territory Threat

In addition to these security measures, Qiao An also cast the 7-ring spell "Phase Gate" to create several secret passages.

These invisible passages in the spirit world can only be used by Joan himself and those who know the password, including emergency escape passages, shortcuts to enter and exit the lair, and secret passages leading directly to Tisitea's lair, Valak's lair, prisons and slave camps.

Qiao An didn't have a penchant for peeping at other people's privacy. Setting up these secret passages was just a precautionary measure, and it might come in handy someday.

After finishing all these tasks, Qiao An suddenly realized that in less than a month since he became a beholder, his mentality and way of thinking had changed significantly.

Compared to humans, he seems to be becoming more and more like a real beholder.

Joan came to Udinos just to observe and study the social ecology here. Doing as the Romans does is the premise of the research, but the psychological changes came so fast and so violently, which far exceeded her expectations, and she was not sure it was a good thing Still bad.

It is very difficult to ask a monster to abide by the morals and laws of human society; on the contrary, when a civilized person wanders alone in the wilderness away from human society and public life, he will easily abandon his humanity and eventually transform into a complete beast.

Qiao An didn't want to give up halfway and give up the social experiment she was doing, but she also didn't want to lose her humanity and abandon the bottom line of being human, so she decided to take some precautions in advance.

Every weekend in the dead of night, she would spend an hour shutting herself in the "mage's secret room", reading the books and documents she carried with her in front of the mirror.

Most of them are journals of academic papers, and there are also some masterpieces of literature, art, history and philosophy, all of which are the crystallization of wisdom and civilization in the human world, and the achievements of countless ancestors' tireless pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty for thousands of years.

The purpose of Joan reading these articles is very simple, it is to awaken his pride in being a human being, and avoid getting too deep in the inhuman world, so that he eventually loses the will to return to the human world.

Beware those who gaze into the abyss, for when you find yourself no longer wanting to communicate with your own kind in the language of your own kind, you are no longer one of them.

...

In the underground world, you can hardly feel the change of seasons, nor can you see the sunrise and sunset. From morning to night, the "timing column" gradually lights up and then goes out slowly from the bottom to the spire, and time passes quietly like this day by day.

Joan has been in Udinos for almost two months, and has gradually adapted to the new environment and identity. Occasionally, when he recalls the surface world where he lived in the past, and his former human identity, he feels a little strange.

This morning, while she was meditating in her bedroom, she suddenly received a telepathy from the "Mythical Magic Alarm", informing her that Tisitea and Valak had just entered the security zone set up outside the lair.

These two subspecies of beholders have deep respect for their masters, and will not come to see them unless they have to.

Joan floated to the desk, raised an eye stalk, and touched the "remote viewing mirror". The mirror surface revealed spiritual light, and then the scene outside the door of the waiting room appeared.

"Eye of Gauss" Tisitea and "Eye of Director" Valak were hovering outside the door, talking in low voices.

Seeing their preoccupied expressions, Qiao An guessed that they were probably in trouble.

At this time, Tisitea stretched out a stalk and patted the closed door. A "magic mouth" immediately appeared on the smooth stone door, and asked in the arrogant tone unique to Mithra, "What's the matter?"

"Respected master, Valak and I have important matters to report to you."

Tisitea replied tremblingly.

At the same time, a "magic mouth" appeared on the wall of Joan's bedroom, repeating Tisitea's request.

"Understood." Joan said to the "Magic Mouth" on the wall, "You two come to the reception room and report to me in person."

The "Magic Mouth" spell can be set in pairs to form a set of long-range "walkie-talkies".

Joan's order was transmitted to Tisitea and Valak through the mouth of the devil, and at the same time, the stone door in front of them also opened by itself.

Joan originally planned to teleport directly to the reception room to wait for the two subordinates, but then realized that doing so was not in line with the arrogant and arrogant style of the beholders.

When meeting with subordinates, Mitra would always make the other party wait in the reception room for a while, and then show up unhurriedly, to show that her time is more precious than the other party's, as if she is really a big man with a lot of time, If you take time out of your busy schedule to meet with your subordinates, the other party should be grateful.

Joan doesn't like this kind of hypocrisy, it's purely a waste of time for meeting both parties, but as a beholder nobleman, in order to maintain Mitra's past image, she had to wait patiently for a while before floating out of the bedroom , go to the reception room through tunnels and shafts, and meet Tisitea and Valak who are waiting for her driver.

"What happened?" Joan asked straight to the point.

"Master, I just received two pieces of bad news. Your two properties... seem to be threatened."

Tisitea said cautiously.

Qiao An has long realized that the two subspecies of beholder servants have very different personalities.

The "Eye of Gauss" Tisiteya is eloquent, good at communication, and more tactful in dealing with people.

In contrast, "Director's Eye" Valak seemed taciturn and a little dull, belonging to the type of "do not push too much if you can do it".

So when they had something to report to their master, Tisitea always made the statement.

"The two properties are threatened?" Joan imitated Mitra's reaction in this situation, and her sharp voice seemed a little nervous. "Which two properties? Who are they threatened? Tell me clearly!"

"It's the lakeside wharf, and... the magic crystal mine."

Tishitea couldn't help wiping off her cold sweat, and under the fierce gaze of her master's ten-stalked eyes, she answered her question bravely.

"This morning, your kobold servant went fishing as usual, but when he arrived at the pier, he found the kobold in charge of guarding the fishing boat strangled to death in the shack by the fishing line, and the two boats that were docked by the pier disappeared. Leaving a length of cable tied to a stake, someone apparently murdered the guard, then cut the cable and stole the kobold fishing boat."

"My fishing boat!" Joan suddenly interrupted her narration.

"That's right! It's your ship, of course it's your ship!"

Tisitea hurriedly corrected the slip of the tongue and slowed down his speech, so as to leave more time for himself to consider his words, lest he say something inappropriate and offend this nervous and moody "giant-eyed tyrant".
