Chapter 2851 Sinister
At first, Joan thought that Dr. Saul was only out of public interest in maintaining the order of Odis and tracking down traitors. In addition, he was engaged in scientific research, and his strict and suspicious personality was understandable.
Until now, with the help of the "myth warning" to detect the strong desire hidden deep in his heart, Joan suddenly realized that he had been criticizing Samuel over and over again, claiming that he was worried about Dr. The most admired scholar in the university is actually a hypocrite with double appearance!
The person who truly agrees with Samael's rebellious behavior and desires to obtain the "wine of eternal life" is precisely Dr. Saul who criticized Samael most severely in public and supported the arrest of heretics and traitors in the "witch hunt" method!
Dr. Saul hid his inner desires very deeply, but Joan was 100% sure that trapping the beholders in order to create the "babbling ball" was just a cover. What he really wanted was Mitra's brain. He extracted the memory of brewing the "wine of immortality" from Ra's brain, and then secretly brewed this glass of poisonous wine, drank it all in one gulp, and turned into an immortal lich.
Dr. Saul's reasons for wanting to become a lich are not new.
He was too old for a mind flayer.
Every day when he fell asleep, he was terrified, worried that his lifespan was at the end of his life, and he would not be able to sleep.
The body is buried in the brain pool, the soul and the master brain become one, and become a part of the great absolute spirit-these remarks about the destination after death can only comfort those naive and ignorant mind flayers, but Dr. Saul is skeptical.
The root cause is that he is too erudite. The further he goes on the road of scientific research, the more he realizes that the mind flayers' concept of "destination after death" and "absolute spirit" is essentially a religion, a belief Mind flayers of the "absolute spirit" are no better than fools who worship idols of anthropomorphic gods.
Once he began to doubt the "absolute spirit", Dr. Saul has gone the same way as Samuel.
If the "absolute spirit" does not exist, what is the point of being buried in the brain pool after death?
It's just that the corpse becomes the nutrient of the master brain and the tadpoles, and the thoughts and wisdom of a lifetime will be swallowed by the master brain, and the soul will be wiped out, leaving nothing eternal.
Can you be willing to rush through your life with regrets like this?
Dr. Saul was acutely aware that he did not want to die.
He has not had time to be promoted to a legendary manifester, and there are still many scientific research projects that have not been completed, and many wonderful ideas that have not been put into practice. How can a smart and knowledgeable person like himself, who has invented and created countless masterpieces, be like other mediocre people? As short-lived as an inactive mind flayer!
This is so unfair!
To complete his unfinished business, Dr. Saul feels obligated to seek immortality, even if it means resorting to the most detested method of the mind flayer race - becoming an immortal lich.
From the moment he had this idea, Dr. Saul regarded Samuel as his role model, even though he still criticized Samuel verbally, even more severely than before.
It was from that moment that Dr. Saul became interested in the Gnostics, a student of Samuel, and tried to get in touch with Mitra through the Gnostics, trying to get the formula for the "wine of eternal life".
...
"This insidious and hypocritical old octopus has been doing it for a long time. It's a thief calling for a thief!"
After penetrating Dr. Saul's scheming, the last trace of Joan's affection for him disappeared, replaced by strong contempt!
"Doctor, the wine of immortality is exchanged for the gemstone of the main eye. Mitra may not accept this deal. After all, she has been fooled by Samael before, and no matter how stupid she is, she will not be fooled by the same thing."
Joan pretended to answer frankly.
"I think so too, let's change the rhetoric! For example, reveal some information about the 'Bad Ball' to her, and ask her to try to lure the three beholders away from Udinos in exchange for the main eye gem."
Metatron was on the sidelines offering ideas.
Joan shook her head, and said in embarrassment: "This deal seems to have bad intentions. Mitra will definitely be worried that she will be taken over by us as a victim of the integration of the 'ball of ravings'. Don't expect her to do that. It's a stupid thing about 'being sold and paying for it'."
"Listen to me, Brother Gnostic! I also know that Mitra won't believe this set of rhetoric, but it doesn't matter, as long as she can't resist the temptation of the 'Major Eye Gem', even if she knows there is a trap, she can't help but step on it !” Metatron declared confidently.
"That's right, Brother Gnostics, you have to delve into Mitra's state of mind, can she not see that you are probably lying? Of course she can! But so what? What if you say What about the truth?"
Dr. Saul smiled sinisterly.
"If I were Mitra, I would definitely take the risk to go to the appointment. Of course, I would also prepare for the worst in advance."
"Oh...doctor, I understand. You mean that Mitra will come to the appointment, but she will not come alone as agreed, and she is more likely to bring a large group of subspecies beholders and slave servants, in case I set a trap Pit her?"
Qiao installed a look of sudden realization.
"That's right, Brother Gnosti, when both sides of the game see that the other side is lying, it means that both sides are telling the truth. At this time, the conspiracy turns into a conspiracy, and the competition is the hard power of both sides!" Dr. Saul analyzed sharply.
"Competition of hard power, to put it bluntly, is gang fight!"
Metatron rubbed his hands together, as if he couldn't wait to fight his nemesis Mitra!
"Listen to me, you two, there are quite a few thugs around Mitra! There are four or five subspecies beholders alone, we must not be careless!" Qiao installed a serious face.
"That's even better, take them as masters and servants!"
Dr. Saul stroked the tentacles with a sneer on his face.
"I want to try to replace the beholder with a subspecies of beholder first, and see if it can be synthesized into a "babbling ball". If so, it will save trouble!"
"Even if it doesn't work, at least one wrong route can be ruled out, and then it's not too late to experiment with pure-blood beholders."
"Okay, then I'll give it a try."
Joan took out the communication crystal, and according to Dr. Saul and Metatron's instructions, sent a magic message to his avatar far away in Udinos.
"Brother Gnostic, how did Mitra respond?"
Metatron couldn't wait to inquire.
"She didn't respond." Joan explained calmly, "With Mitra's violent temper, if she doesn't want to go to the appointment, she will definitely reply and yell at her. If she doesn't reply, it means that she will go to the appointment, but it may not be on time."
"Going to the appointment, but not necessarily on time, what does that mean?" Metatron looked confused, "You mean she'll leave you waiting at the appointment place, be late on purpose, and put on airs for you?"
