Li Wen, who was concentrating on how to turn himself into a funny figure in a chaotic camp, was disturbed by a thunderous sound outside.
At the same time, there were the panicked footsteps of the drow elves in the temple who were learning how to become an official Rose priest for two and a half years, accompanied by the scoldings of other priests who sounded calmer and older.
What happened?
It must be serious, right?
This is the highest place in the entire city of Menzoberranzan. If chaos breaks out here, there's no telling what chaos will be like outside.
But...what does it have to do with myself?
Normally, with Li Wen's curiosity about new things, he would definitely go out and take a look.
However, right now, Li Wen's mind is entirely focused on something else - how to become a chaotic and funny person.
He felt that he could think of ways to learn from the legendary expertise he had just developed.
Why can't people lie to themselves?
The combined power of psychic energy and mystery can deceive even the underlying rules of the world, so it seems that it is not difficult to deceive yourself.
Just do it as soon as you think of it, Li Wen has already begun to use the remaining 1.8 million soul energy to start trying.
Since opening up sales in the Crazy Continent, the combat skills, talents, etc. that Li Wen developed before have begun to bring him a steady stream of soul energy, including the return spell and the shuttle spell. Although the soul energy contributed by a single body
It's not much, but it's continuous.
So even though Li Wen spent more than 1 million soul energy to develop the legendary specialty - Spiritual Core Sophon, he still has 1.8 million left in stock.
After all, psychic energy is an unfamiliar field to me, and the number of corrections required is terrifying and mind-numbing.
Like the bard before, I don't know what state he was in when he was created, but it only cost Li Wen 31,000 soul energy in total.
If only they were all like bards...
Li Wen sighed softly and turned to devote himself to research.
In order to find inspiration similar to when he created the bard, Li Wen even took a bottle of elven wine from Croxane and took a sip.
"Ha~"
…
The floating figures of the Mind Flayer surrounded the city in the air, and the city's protective array emitted some kind of faint purple light, which was the confrontational flash produced when resisting the effects of mind control and other spells.
Directly using psychic powers to change reality or control other people's thoughts is an inferior way to use psychic powers even for mind flayers with huge psychic abilities.
Spells are not exclusive to intelligent creatures, but are the rules of the world background. Intelligent creatures rely on learning and blessings from gods to use this power, and they directly use their own psychic simulation to cast spell effects.
As for the mind flayer's mastermind, it is another more advanced method - they simplify the process of making a spellcasting request to the magic network and directly use the underlying mechanism of the world background.
Demigods are not only their rank, but also the level at which they use their power.
Fortunately, the creatures in the underground world have been facing the threat of mind flayers all year round, and have special experience and skills in mind protection spells.
The magic circle laid out in the city is extremely effective and can temporarily withstand the pressure of the mind flayer mastermind.
Of course, the situation is not optimistic.
Only by constantly attacking without constant defense will you lose if you defend for too long.
After all, the city's magic circle is a dead thing. Once the opponent finds an opportunity to break through the foundation of the magic circle, most of the drow in the entire city will face the invasion of the demigod-level Mind Flayer mastermind, and there will be few who can avoid being controlled.
Lost only in an instant.
but……
"It doesn't feel that scary..."
I don’t know why, but the matrons of some families have such a strange idea in their minds.
Although the mastermind of this mind flayer also put considerable pressure on them, it was not as oppressive as the rumored demigod gave people.
If he is a demigod, he should have more than this strength, right?
"Has the priest not come yet?"
The academy is located outside Menzoberranzan, some distance from the city.
But this distance shouldn't be a problem for the legendary priests in the academy.
Why haven’t I seen the sacrifice yet?
"I don't know. Logically speaking, I should have come here long ago..."
Relying on the city's magic circle, they could barely resist the attacks of the mind flayers. Only by taking the initiative as legendary sacrificial priests could they truly repel these mind flayers.
"And those guys who go to the theater...when this thing is over, we have to make them look good."
There are also some mistresses whose vision penetrates the darkness, as if they can see the alien spies monitoring the fighting here in the dark.
"They hope that both us and the Mind Flayer will suffer losses. They will definitely take action later if they can."
…
The players who hurried to a certain place after struggling to catch up with the shadows saw at a glance the city of Menzoberranzan in the distance, which was glowing with light against magic even in the darkness.
"Oh! What a big city."
"Hey! Put on CG as soon as you come up?"
"Is this the welcome ceremony specially prepared for us by the underground world? I'm a bit flattered."
"Whatever you want, this game has never considered our feelings, how they should fight, and when has it ever taken us seriously?"
"Who are we helping?"
The appearance of a voice suddenly stunned these players.
yes.
The occurrence of the incident indeed has nothing to do with them, but they can participate in the process of the incident. The routines of "Gaia Continent" have been figured out by the players a long time ago. As long as they are thick-skinned and proactive enough, players can interfere in many things.
Moreover, the event in front of us is obviously a duel between two major forces. If you choose to join one side, as long as you bet correctly, will the rewards afterwards be small?
"Yes, here comes the question, who should we help?"
"Guess the coin..."
"Guess what!"
A player with night vision expertise pointed in a distant direction. His eyes could penetrate the darkness and see the bastard just now.
"That guy is over there. He has been here for so long. If something like this happens, he must know more about the inside story. Why don't you ask him what his plan is."
"good!"
"OK."
He was watching the battle at the gate of Menzoberranzan from a distance, his eyes misty.
The second brother is the main attacker, and his eldest brother has gone somewhere. I heard that he is going to intercept the opponent's legendary reinforcements to relieve his second brother's troubles. In the whole scene, he is a free man.
However, he didn't care about the main two sides in this battle.
He just wanted to know where Mr. Poppy had gone. Many experiences in the past had made him realize a truth deeply - betting on anyone is worse than betting on Poppy.
The odds may be low, but victory is guaranteed.
"Brother, let me know, who can we help?"
When he heard the voice ringing in his ears, he wasn't surprised at all. He just looked into the distance with his misty eyes and replied lightly.
