It is for this reason that even though the clone body present is another controlled illithid, it still carries the imperial majesty of the illithid mastermind sitting in the conference hall, and its entire appearance is even more... Getting rid of the frail image of other illithid monsters, it looks tall and burly, and its whole body is full of strong purple-red muscles. Even wearing the gorgeous robe that drags to the ground cannot hide this in the slightest.

After Ryan looked up and down, he believed that the guy in front of him not only inherited the powerful spell ability of the illithid, but also had powerful close combat capabilities. It was not surprising to say that he was a magician and a martial artist, but when he thought about it, he seemed to be a chosen one. The puppet should have been slowly cultivated by the illithid mastermind for many years. It is probably impossible to promote it on a large scale. Otherwise, he would only need to use this method on every illithid citizen and the entire race would have been destroyed long ago. The disadvantages of a strong mind and weak limbs are gone.

Thinking of this, Ryan responded calmly: "I don't know what kind of explanation the mastermind wants. You can't let me commit suicide on the spot. Then it's better for you, the mastermind, to directly rewind the passage of time and erase the past." It’s more realistic what happened.”

The puppet clone of the illithid mastermind shook its tentacles and said: "Looking back in time, if I have such strength, I can just go back to your childhood and kill you. Why bother? Your words are meaningless. It seems that you have no idea at all." There is no sincerity, Ryan, and Matron Herest, I know that you are already mass-producing a kind of magic equipment that can fight against our illithid monsters. I also confirm that this kind of magic device can be used against my ordinary people. It has a certain effect, but do you want to wipe out our entire illithid race through such a thing?"

"Of course not. The most I do is to make the dark elf warriors pay less with their lives. This is also the obligation as an ally, isn't it, Mastermind...Mr." Ryan replied with a smile, the illithid That matter is quite beneficial to the dark elves. If the Illithid mastermind adopts such a menacing posture, it is most likely to cause diplomatic blackmail, so it is absolutely possible to suppress the opponent as much as possible, test the bottom line of the Illithid mastermind, and then Even if the talks fail and a full-scale war breaks out, so what? Anyway, the dark elves have already formulated the next military plan. Attacking the illithids in the north is the established goal. This is nothing more than executing according to the original plan.

"If I don't die a few dark elves, my people will have to pay more for their lives." The puppet clone of the Illithid mastermind asked back. His tone already hinted that something was about to happen, and the tentacles shaking back and forth on his face were unexpectedly... They all stood upright. This unusual behavior seemed to indicate that if Ryan's next answer was inappropriate, the illithid mastermind was ready to take action.

Ryan spread his hands and deliberately made a helpless expression and replied: "These are basically two things. I don't know why you, the mastermind, must be connected together. If the illithid does not take any hostile actions against the dark elves, I believe that the two The races must be able to live in peace, and in that way I will soon achieve my goal, which will not only reduce the sacrifices of the dark elf warriors, but also prevent the illithids from suffering more losses."

"Do you believe what you say?" The puppet clone of the illithid mastermind suddenly said this, and then his tone was mixed with anger. It was obvious that he was really angry, not the pretentious one before. Gesture: "Ryan, I admit your strength, but that doesn't mean you can really be on an equal footing with the seven of us. If my spiritual power ranks second in another world, I will never be first." The name exists, do you think you can deceive me with lies?"

Ryan didn't expect that the mastermind of the illithids would directly point out his duplicity. Although the two sides were in a hostile position, Ryan still felt a little blushed. After all, he was not the kind of politician who was intrigued by intrigues, so Ryan smiled coquettishly and said: "Since Mastermind, if you are so frank, I can only say that I hate war very much, but I will never be afraid of its occurrence."

"I'm surprised that a character like yours can actually acquire the power you have now." The puppet clone of the illithid mastermind did not speak, but a beholder sitting below him intervened, and this voice also changed Ryan's mind. His attention shifted to the clone of the last demigod king, which also allowed Ryan to officially see the beholder, an abnormally shaped creature.

Strictly speaking, it is not correct to use "sitting" to describe it, because the beholder is, as its name suggests, an eyeball in shape, with a bloody mouth full of fangs, and several branches connected to it. The small eyes extend outward from the top of the spherical body, as well as some eye stalks that are not particularly long. They function like eyelashes to protect the eyes. The number of eyeballs on the beholder varies according to different types, but among them, the number of eyeballs in the entire sphere is The eye in the center is the largest, and it is also the core of this beholder. Its function is equivalent to the brain of other creatures.

This form does not have the arms and legs of other humanoid creatures, so it is naturally impossible to sit upright on a chair like the dark elves and Thor demons. Therefore, this special envoy of the demigod king, the beholder tyrant, has actually been suspended in the Above the seat, this is also the biggest feature of the entire beholder race. They are born with powerful and enviable magical abilities. For example, floating like now is an innate ability. These beholder are using this innate magic. At this time, there is no need to consume mana, which also allows the beholder to permanently solidify the various spell effects it is good at, making it an indispensable part of its life.

Ryan stared at this "Eye of Insight". It is the most gentle tribe among the entire beholder race, so it is often responsible for diplomatic missions. Although the beholder is one of the seven major races in the alien world, its overall strength is But I am the last one, because the entire beholder race has many branches. They all believe that the race they belong to is the best and purest. For this reason, they are hostile to compatriots of other races and will not hesitate to start a war for it. If Had it not been for the birth of a demigod-king-level being between them, the beholder clan would probably have been reduced to a second- or even third-rate existence in the other world like Medusa, Minotaur or Ogre.

For this reason, areas controlled by beholders and areas controlled by Rakshasa demons are filled with a large number of foreign creatures. In the latter, because the Rakshasa demons themselves have a large number of tribesmen, it is difficult for foreigners to develop their power. However, it is better than surviving in areas ruled by other races. Races with large numbers and powerful forces such as dark elves and Thor demons must suffer discrimination from other races outside their control areas. Many times in such areas, foreigners The tribesmen are often all slaves for servitude. Of course, this is better than being neighbors with an illithid or a slaad, because as long as the illithid finds it, it will turn into a clueless puppet, and it will not be enough to fall into the hands of a slaad. A large group of monsters are left as hosts for their young. Such an encounter is worse than death. As long as the creatures in their right mind are naturally grateful, they will not be sensitive.

In the territory of the beholder tyrant, the situation is completely different. It is a chaotic area. The civil war between the beholder makes foreign warriors like a fish in water. As long as they have a little strength, they will be approached by the Eye of Insight in order to form an alliance. If it is of great help to the beholder allies, they can even build their own city with the acquiescence of the local actual ruler, the Eye of the Elder or the Eye of the Hive Mother. Such treatment is naturally not comparable to areas controlled by other races, so in other worlds Slightly more powerful races, such as Medusa, etc., all chose to thrive on that land. After they gathered together, they also became the invisible helper of the Beholder Clan, which was always troubled by civil war. Can withstand attacks from other demigod kings,

"This is the special envoy of the Beholder Tyrant, the Eye of Insight." Mother Hester introduced Ryan appropriately, and used this to dilute the tension caused by the previous tit-for-tat confrontation with the puppet clone of the Illithid Mastermind. But after she finished speaking, she added intentionally or unintentionally: "Among the clones of the demigod king present today, this special envoy is the most special. It is not the real clone of the beholder tyrant, but the demigod However, the king solidified a spell similar to the 'Mage's Eye' on its body. In this way, what this eye of insight sees, hears and what it says actually feels the same as the beholder tyrant. "

Ryan knew that this was Mother Hester taking care of him, asking him not to despise him because he had almost no fluctuations in pseudo-divine power, so Ryan responded politely: "I don't quite understand what you mean, tyrant. Why is the level of strength closely related to one's own personality?"

"Of course." The special envoy clone of the Eye Demon Tyrant opened his bloody mouth full of bayonet-like teeth, and spoke in the Dark Elf language. When he made a sound, the winding and twisted * on the entire eyeball body The eyes all pointed at Ryan. There was a small eye at the end of these eyes. When they stared at Ryan together, it gave Ryan a very uncomfortable feeling. According to the information provided by Mistress Herister, This kind of insightful eye is still the gentlest among the beholder clan. It is hard for Ryan to imagine how many people can withstand it if they are targeted by the most ferocious Eye of Death Kiss, Eye of Whispering and Eye of Warlord. I won't go crazy on the spot,
