Chapter 2588 Widen the Lens
Saoirse put down the empty wine barrel, took out seven lenses that shone with magical aura from the storage bag, placed them neatly on the table, and said to the three visitors with a smile:
"Mitra, Slaorga, Lashinu, you have successfully carried out the mission of hunting mind flayers this time. You have made great contributions and deserve to be rewarded. There are a total of seven kinds of magic lenses here, and you can choose from them. The one you like best."
Joan, Slaoga, and Rashnu thanked the Prime Minister for his generous reward, and then carefully checked the seven magic lenses on the table.
Saoirse said to let them choose the "one" they like, which means that there is more than one of each kind of magic lens, and it doesn't matter if they choose the same lens.
After a little observation, Joan can see that the super magic special effects corresponding to the seven magic lenses are "obstacle", "penetration", "split", "extreme effect", "chain hair", "instantaneous" and " Broaden".
Among them, she made the first six kinds of magic lenses by herself, but she lacked the last "widening lens", so she chose this lens logically.
Joan put the "widening lens" on the eye stalk, and after a little testing, it was found that the eye wave rays passing through the lens became light waves with a vertex angle of 60° and a cone-shaped spread, and the radius of the cone was equal to the range of the rays themselves. Creatures within will be affected by the rays.
The supermagic skill attached to the "widening lens" is called "magic widening", and it can also be used with other ray magic, but at the cost of increasing the level 3 spell level.
This lens can widen the beholder's rays from a single-target attack to a 150-foot cone-shaped spread attack. In Joan's opinion, it is more valuable than the other six lenses.
After thinking about it with the "widening lens", Joan put it on the eye stem that emitted the "paralyzing ray", and upgraded the "paralyzing ray" to "paralyzing wave".
For some reason, Slaoga and Lashinu did not choose the "widening lens" that Joan was most optimistic about.
Slaoga chose the "chain hair lens", which was worn on the eye stem corresponding to the "death ray".
After hesitating for a long time, Lashinu chose the "double-click lens" and put it on the eye stem corresponding to the "petrochemical ray".
At this time, Ishtar drank his barrel of red wine, hiccupped in satisfaction, and said to Joan with a little drunkenness: "Mitra, you have the most credit for hunting down the mind flayer this time, Wa That trash, You, will only slow you down, and she deserves to be caught and tortured by mind flayers, and an early death is the greatest blessing for her!"
Joan couldn't tell what it was like to hear the supreme being lightly write harsh and cold words.
"Mitra, if I remember correctly, Vayu's territory is next to yours, right?" Ishtar asked.
Joan nodded quickly.
"That's just right, Vayu's territory and slaves will belong to you in the future. As for the subspecies of beholders who originally followed her, whether to keep them or dismiss them, you can decide for yourself!"
Joan didn't expect Ishtar to be so generous. He directly transferred Vayu's territory and servants to his own name, and quickly thanked Her Majesty the Queen.
Slaoga and Lashinu were also deeply surprised, and they looked at Joan with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
No matter how close the relationship, a beholder can't help but feel jealous when he sees his friend's luck.
Joan noticed the emotional changes of Slaoga and Lashinu, but judging from the eavesdropping of "Myth Alert", they were more envious than jealous, and there was no sign of hatred due to jealousy for the time being. Among the beholders, it is rare to be open-minded.
After the celebration banquet, Qiao An once again thanked the Prime Minister and the Supreme for their rewards, and suggested that he would like to inspect the newly sealed territory. Could he be absent from the execution ceremony for the mind flayer and the three-armed giant tonight.
Ishtar and Saoirse understood her eagerness to seize the territory of Vayu and assert sovereignty over the servants of her old enemy, and readily agreed to her request.
Joan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her own territory, and was not in a hurry to take over the new territory, until the execution ceremony officially started, and the bloodthirsty and carnival roars of the beholder nobles came from the central square of Udinos, and she brought Surrounded by the deathknell beetle guards, Upper Tisitea, Valak and Shar swaggered to the next-door territory, declaring that they had become the new masters of this land.
At this time, the news of Vayu's death and Mitra's favor seemed to have grown wings, and had already spread throughout the city.
The subspecies beholders and slaves in Vayu's territory have also heard about it, and they waited anxiously for the new lord to come to inspect.
It was not until the light of the timing column faded, and a new cycle from dark to bright was about to begin, that is, at midnight on the surface of the earth, that the "Magic Eye Arcanist" led a group of cronies to her new territory proudly.
Those who came to greet Joan were three subspecies of beholders. They were originally trusted confidantes of Vayu's subordinates. Nokomis, director of the mine.
The housekeeper, Laven, is a mature and stable "eye of insight", which is the subspecies of beholders that Joan was most familiar with before coming to Udinos.
Compared with beholders and even other subspecies of beholders, the "eye of insight" is very different from the outside to the inside.
The "eye of insight" is small in size, with a spherical body only three feet wide, floating lightly in the air, stretching four slender eye stalks.
The "Eye of Insight" is the only beholder creature that is not inherently evil, as can be seen from Laven.
This butler has a gentle personality, is steady and kind, and has a good reputation among his colleagues and servants.
When Joan met Lavin, he cast a spell to investigate by the way.

...
Laven's life level, physical attributes, and various innate abilities are stronger than ordinary "eyes of insight". Although the fighting power is not as good as other subspecies of beholders, Joan doesn't need her to fight. It's rare to have such a temperament A gentle, neither crazy nor stupid subordinate, she can take care of the housework in the new territory in the future.
