Mage Joan

Qiao An doesn't need to worry about the traps in the tunnel.

Regardless of whether there is anyone in the sphere, the total weight of the "smart sphere" is always close to zero.

Qiao An uses his spiritual power to remotely surround his "smart magic ball", which can float and drift like a beholder without triggering the trap below.

Following this tunnel to the end, there is a rock wall in front of which there is a vertical shaft extending downwards.

This is another typical feature of the beholder's nest.

Flying creatures in the surface world also include flying magic. Their flying methods are mostly similar to birds. When they come to the underground world with a more complex and cramped environment, their flying ability will be severely restricted.

For example, the bottomless shaft in front is a difficult problem for most creatures that rely on wings to fly. Unless they are as flexible as a bee, it is inevitable that they will frequently hit the wall when they take off and land vertically in the shaft. Sliding down the rope.

The flying method of the beholder is different from that of the birds. Vertical take-off and landing is precisely their specialty. The eye stalk that can be turned in any direction is also suitable for hunting enemies in the shaft. Therefore, there will always be many of these in the beholder’s lair. structure.

Qiao An remotely controlled a glass magic eye to drop to the bottom of the shaft and found a cave. He went through the cave and continued to explore further. In front of him was a relatively open hall with squeaking insects in the dark.

Following the reputation, I saw a group of large beetles with horn-shaped **** organs on their heads patrolling.

Qiao An controlled the glass magic eye, carefully avoiding the group of death knell beetles, lest the magic eye was shattered by the supernatural sound waves emitted by them.

Among the ten magic rays that beholders are good at, there is one called "Charm Ray", which is equivalent to the 4-level spell "Charm Monster".

These simple-minded big beetles have obviously been charmed by the beholder and become her slaves.

Qiao An didn't want to disturb the group of beetles who guarded the gate, and escaped into the spirit world together with the "smart ball", slipped under the eyelids of the death bell beetle, then resumed its physical form and continued to explore the depths of the cave. .

The tunnel in front of them gradually became scarce, and replaced by large and small stone chambers. These signs indicate that the dwelling of the beholder is already very close.

The beholder who lives alone likes to dig a spacious stone room as his boudoir at the farthest location from the entrance of the lair.

Some smaller caves will be dug near the master bedroom to serve as warehouses, cells, and meeting rooms-although there are few opportunities to come in handy, after all, beholders are not hospitable hosts.

The beholders are parthenogenetic. They do not need a spouse or the concept of "marriage". In addition, they are generally sensitive and suspicious, and rarely live with their kind.

However, beholders don’t mind keeping a group of “lower creatures” as slaves, such as dwarves, gnomes, kobolds, and goblins and other intelligent creatures that are common in the underground world. In addition to calling them to work, they can also show off, just like the manor treats his own house. Nigger.

The beholder will strictly inspect his servants, select loyal and strong elites from them to serve as guards, dig caves near the master bedroom to serve as guard rooms, and occasionally make exceptions to allow the most favored servants to have a separate room.

Qiao An controlled a glass magic eye, approached the largest stone room, and peeped in secret.

Unexpectedly, there was no one in the room.

Qiao An frowned, the remote control glass magic eye ventured into the stone room to search, and he found a shaft in the corner. The owner of the stone room was taking a nap at the bottom of the well.

This monster was shaped like a big orb floating in mid-air. Its body was about eight feet in diameter. It was covered with an uneven purple-black chitin carapace.

There is a huge main eye in the center of the spherical body, and a large mouth full of fangs is next to the main eye. Ten flexible and slender eye stalks extend from the whole body, all of which are no less than 20 feet long.

This beholder closed his eyes tightly, and the small eyeballs on the ten eye stems opened in turn, squinting his eyes, observing the surrounding wind and grass, and maintaining basic alertness even during sleep.

Qiao An controlled the glass magic eye to float above the shaft, a dark area located in the blind spot of the eye magic observation, and used the glass magic eye to perform "advanced internal vision".

...

Reconnaissance target: Beholder (large weird)

Status: Light sleep

Life level: 16

Attributes: Strength 22, Agility 16, Constitution 18, Intelligence 13, Wisdom 17, Charisma 18

Special abilities: dark vision, global vision, flying in the air, 150-foot eye wave x 10 (charm, paralysis, fear, slowness, exhaustion, thought power, hypnosis, petrification, dissociation, death); other (unexplored);

...

Qiao An was surprised by the results of the investigation of "Advanced Internal Vision".

Compared with the average values ​​of adult beholders listed in the "Monster Illustrated Book", the beholder at the bottom of the well has a significantly lower life level and various attributes. Is the reference data given in the literature incorrect or this beholder Underage?

In addition, Qiao An only detected ten magic rays, but failed to detect the "anti-magic cone" unique to the beholder's main eye. Is this because she kept the main eye tightly closed, or is there another reason?

With the idea of ​​tracing the roots, Qiao An's remote-controlled glass magic eye approached the wellhead, wanting to observe the beholder from a closer position.

However, at this moment, the half-asleep beholder at the bottom of the well trembled suddenly, and seemed to perceive someone peeping at him in secret. All ten stalks were erected, but the central main eye was still closed.

"Oops, this guy is awake!"

Qiao An hurriedly manipulated the glass magic eye away from the well head and hid in a secluded corner of the stone room to observe in secret.

Soon after, the awakened beholder floated up from the shaft, and the ten small eyeballs that looked around showed unconcealable tension, like a housewife who found a poisonous snake in her kitchen.

The beholder grinned, exposing his long tongue like a toad, and shouted in his unique ethnic language. The trembling voice echoed in the stone room, showing his inner anxiety.

Qiao An has never learned "Magic Eyes", but with the help of "skillful words" blessed in advance, he still understands the meaning of that sentence-"Master Mitra! Is that you?"

Who is Mitra?

Judging from the honorific use of the beholder when referring to the other's name, it seems to be a woman of considerable status.

It was not difficult for Qiao An to hear that the beholder was so afraid of the "Master Mitra" that he was so scared and suspicious that he shivered before seeing the shadow of him.

"Master Mitra? Master Mitra?"

"Huh...it seems to be just a false alarm."

After repeated calls and no one answered, the beholder determined that the intruder should not be the adult he was most afraid of, and his nervous expression faded, replaced by a fierce face and turned his head to look outside the stone room.
