Lord God Investigator

Chapter 197 Making enemies in three places

In another secret passage in the sewers of Askatra City, there is a strange-style palace.

There was a monster with many tentacles on its face, like an octopus covering its face. It was wearing a black robe with magic lines, and it had a faint evil and terrifying aura.

Kneeling in front of it was a row of human adventurers. These people had empty eyes and fanatical expressions, and they looked obviously abnormal.

"Uh oh... uh uh oh... uh..."

The octopus-faced monster spoke a strange language, like the growl of a beast trapped in a box. This language was completely different from the common language of Faerûn and did not resemble a human voice at all.

But the group of human adventurers actually understood. They all knelt down and kowtowed, stood up without saying a word, turned around and walked out of the secret passage.

That monster is a mind flayer!

The Mind Flayer is one of the most mysterious and terrifying monsters in Faerûn. This kind of monster is rarely seen in the surface world. Most of the tribe hides in the underdark. They have a deep hatred and endless feud with the dark elves and Githyanki.

The sewers of Askatra City are worthy of being known as a place where filth and evil gather. There are just a few beholders hidden there, but there is also a secret camp for mind flayers. The mind flayers hiding here have already controlled a considerable number of people. Human adventurers, these people are called "hidden ones". They hide in human society, work as slaves, and conspire to help the mind flayers counterattack the surface world and establish the mind flayer empire on the surface.

If you do the math, there are quite a lot of evil secret organizations in Ascaltra.

Beholder Sect, Shadow Thieves Guild, Dimensional Magic Ball, Entanglement Sigil (Shangla Team), Demigod Lich, Night Mask, Red Robe Mage Guild, Zhentarim Guild, we can almost hold an exhibition of evil forces in Faerûn!

Mayor Bailana is a competent politician, but not a competent leader. Under her disdainful efforts, the city of Ascatla is heading further and further towards destruction.

The Mind Flayer issued an order to a group of "hidden ones", turned around and walked back to the depths of the strange palace, where there were still a dozen Mind Flayers waiting for it.

When it arrived at the conference hall, the mind flayers began a telepathic conversation.

"I have ordered all the hidden people in the city to take action and kidnap the two-legged beast named Bradero."

"Can those stupid slaves succeed? This matter is very important. If we control Bredreau, it will greatly help the great cause of establishing the empire. Don't mess it up."

"If they mess up, all their brains will be blown! I will go to the surface myself and control the Twoleg."

"It must succeed. The instrument made by the two-legged beast can eliminate our control of the hidden person. I have lost many of the hidden people's spiritual connections. I can no longer let him create evil things to destroy our plans. Control him and let He creates divine objects for us, and more Two-legged beasts will become our slaves!"

In the eerie calm, the mind flayers formulated a kidnapping plan through telepathy, vowing to turn Bradlow into their puppet slave and contribute to the creation of the mind flayer empire.

The exquisite works of art created by Luo Feng have magical quasi-magic power, which becomes even more powerful after being blessed by Shuni.

Peerless beauty can purify the soul, wash away evil thoughts, cut off the Mind Flayer's mind control lines, and allow those who have been planted by the Mind Flayer to get rid of control and wake up.

As a result, he became a thorn in the side of the Mind Flayer hiding in the sewers, a thorn in his flesh, which greatly hindered the Mind Flayer's plan to control more citizens.

The mind flayers are monsters with high intelligence. After careful consideration, they decided that killing Bradlow was not the best solution. If they could control him and use him for the mind flayers, they could figure out why the works he created can affect people's hearts and let him create If there is no work that can make people fall under the spell of charm and control and become the mind flayer's puppet upon seeing it, wouldn't the establishment of the mind flayer empire be just around the corner?

The Shadow Thief of Amn, the Church of the Beholder, and the Secret Camp of the Mind Flayer are all gearing up to target Luo Feng, each with their own different evil purposes.

Luo Feng knew nothing about this. He was accompanying Elminster and Helen to meet the members of the troupe. For Luo Feng, this was an imminent difficulty. What if the Transformers actors showed their flaws and exposed what he had created? The glorious image that has been built up with great difficulty will collapse into rubbish due to the evil methods of controlling monsters through the magic addiction potion.

Elminster does things casually, and although he does not often interfere in the mundane affairs of the main material world, if he is annoyed in person, he will not blame himself for his misfortune if he is confused by a legendary spell.

The meeting took place in the auditorium of the Am Grand Theater, in the auditorium not far below the stage.

The troupe members who were notified to come include the three-headed shapeshifter, chief special effects artist Cameron and chief technical officer Yao En, as well as members of Luo Feng's team.

The team members fled back to Gallows Mansion to pack up their belongings like dogs, but sadly found that they had nothing to pack. The dimensional bag was clutched in the hands of the captain. In addition to the equipment they bought some time ago, they only had a few hundred gold coins. money.

Other members of the troupe, such as Cameron and Yao En, are much richer than them. Cameron enjoys dividends and is now a rich man with a net worth of 100,000 gold coins. Yao En's monthly salary is 10,000 gold coins, and Luo Feng also gave him an advance. With a month's salary, his sister doesn't have to sell kohlrabi to supplement the family income.

After calming down, the team members held a small meeting and decided not to rush to the sea to escape.

After all, without the captain to hold the line, the team is too weak and will be wiped out when encountering a stronger enemy. When the guests die in a foreign land, the captain will not be able to find their bodies even if they escape.

Furthermore, the team’s purse is in the hands of the team leader. They don’t have enough money to pay the salary of the bodyguard group. If they go on the road without bodyguards, their safety is not guaranteed. If they go on the road with bodyguards and cannot afford the wages, the bodyguards will rebel.

If you think about it more carefully, Elminster is also a person from the lawful camp. He has a gentle personality. Even if he came to ask for an explanation, he would not kill the captain. The matter has not reached an irreversible situation, and he ran away rashly. inappropriate.

What's more, they can be stable for a while if they run away, but they can't be stable forever. If Luo Feng's accident happens and the team members return to Liberty City, there will be no good fruits to eat. Abandoning the captain is a taboo for the investigator team. Such a team member without team spirit will also No captain will accept it anymore.

If Luo Feng survives the difficulty and finds that they have abandoned him and run away, it would be weird if they don't deduct all their points. When they return to Free City, they will all be rated as having extremely poor abilities. All of them will have their memories wiped away and returned to the real world.

Several members of the team figured out the stakes and wondered why they made such a stupid decision in a moment of confusion. They ran away without thinking carefully or asking questions. Little did they know that this was the effect of the "Curse of the God of Love". Subtly affecting the decision-making of those around the cursed person, they will choose to abandon the cursed person in a single thought.

But this kind of mental influence can also be resisted by reason. The team members relied on the high immunity rate of the crystal wall alien creature to wake up from the influence of the curse and hurriedly ran back to the Amn Theater.
