Chapter 687

I want to borrow your brain.

When Izzet asked why he was looking for the city of illithids, Raistlin answered in his heart like this, but in front of Master Oglevi, he would not dare to say it even if he had a hundred courage.

Obviously, Elaineto's spirit sucker mastermind has been occupied by Ogulev, or in other words, they have merged into one.

The mastermind is Ogulev, and Ogulev is the mastermind.

The eyes of the soul can't clearly see the state of Master Ogulev, but it is easy to find out through comparison that this Lich in front of him is definitely stronger than the previous Lich! You know, the Lich is a forty-level spellcaster, and the six holy soul wizards teamed up to kill it.

What is the concept of being higher than forty-one?

Raistlin couldn't imagine it at all.

The fight just now was already the limit of what he could do, and he barely escaped from the palace, and Master Ogulev obviously didn't use his full strength, as if he was playing with him.

Not to mention that there are four holy spellcasters, plus Master Ogulevi, they can almost catch up with half of the Supreme Council!

Even, Raistlin guessed that these were not the full strength of Master Oglevi, and there were probably more holy spellcasters hidden in the city of Elainto.

With such a huge distance in strength, there is no chance to escape, which is really desperate.

If you can't beat them, join them.

Apart from being mentally unstable, Master Ogulev seems to be in a normal mind and has no hostility towards himself. It would be great if we could become friends with him!

Thigh hugging... no, it's making friends.

To make friends, one must treat people with sincerity. Even if you don't mention the purpose of your visit to Elaine, Master Ogulev can guess some of it.

Raistlin's mind turned sharply, and he decided to tell the truth.

"Master, I want to get a mastermind's demon soul."

"snort."

Oglevi's psychic power sent shockwaves through Raistlin's mind, and he seemed a little displeased, "You are quite brave to lead people to raid my palace."

Raistlin could see that the other party was not really angry, and thought that he had made the right move, but he still quickly explained: "If I knew that the master was here, I would never dare to break into Elaine Tor. Please forgive me, master. Reckless."

"What do you want the mastermind's demon soul to do? Fusion, or research?" Ogulev stared at him and asked.

"I am also not certain."

Raistlin shook his head, and replied truthfully: "I have encountered a problem in alchemy, which has troubled me for many years and cannot be solved. A few months ago, I found a book that recorded information about illithid cities. I also mentioned some characteristics of the mastermind of the illithid, which seems to be able to solve my problem, so I went to the dark area to find the demon soul of the mastermind."

Halfway through the talk, he noticed that Ogulev's emotions became active, and he seemed very interested in this topic.

"Which book did you read?" Ogulev asked immediately.

"Strange Memo," Raistlin replied.

"Hahaha..." Ogulev suddenly laughed.

This was the first time he had laughed since revealing his identity, but he just laughed a few times, because the excessive mood swings caused a terrifying vision, so the laughter stopped abruptly.

Raistlin was taken aback, and asked cautiously, "Master?"

"I wrote that book." The blue flame in Ogulev's eye sockets beat with a small frequency.

"It turned out to be the work of the master!" Raistlin was really surprised. He remembered that the author of "Strange Memo" was called Harpworth, an unknown wizard hundreds of years ago. Apart from writing this book, There are no more stories left.

"The master is Harpworth?"

"That's right, it's rare that you still know this name." Ogulev nodded slightly, his tone not without complacency, but also with a bit of playfulness, "The book I wrote casually when I was studying illithids back then used this It was a pseudonym, so it didn’t attract the attention of outsiders, and it was quickly submerged in many books. I didn’t expect that after so many years, someone would still read my work.”

"It's fate." Raistlin smiled. "If I hadn't read your book, I wouldn't have come to Elaento."

The eyes of the soul showed that Ogulev was in a very happy mood, and the six lavender tentacles curled and loosened unconsciously, like cheerful seaweed.

"You were able to find Elaineto, and you came here for magic research, so you are destined to me." Ogulev regained his composure, "However, there is only one mastermind in a city of illithids..."

Before he finished speaking, Raistlin immediately stated: "Master, I will find another city for illithids."

Ogulewei glanced at him, feeling quite strange.

"You are good."

"Much better than some."

Oglevi expressed his views on Raistlin, which made Raistlin happy, and then he fell into a long silence. The eyes of the soul saw that the color of his soul was constantly changing, and the frequency was not high, as if he was recalling the past, and then It seems to be thinking seriously.

Raistlin wondered who the "some" were, but dared not ask.

It wasn't until two or three minutes later that Ogulev's heart sounded again.

"I have been in the Underdark for 500 years. From the beginning, I was just doing research on illithids. In the past 300 years, I have become like this. I have been living in seclusion in Elaine Tor without being disturbed. I have made a lot of plans and thought. ..." Ogulev said slowly.

There was so much information hidden in his words that Raistlin dared not interrupt.

Suddenly, the surrounding space changed.

Raistlin found himself transported to a rocky bridge across the cliff, with a large waterfall flying down from above his head, less than a hundred meters away from him. Below the stone bridge is a wide lava lake. The waterfall falls into the lake, the cold and heat collide, and the boundless white mist is splashed in the sound of the explosion. Standing on the bridge is like walking on the clouds.

Ogulev was suspended a few steps away.

He waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew away the mist, revealing a magnificent view of Elaento.

This stone bridge connects the mountain peaks and huge rocks in the lava lake, and a little further up is the main brain palace on the top of the mountain. It is at the highest position and you can see the entire illithid city clearly.

The slaves in the city saw the two people on the bridge from a distance, all prostrate on the ground, trembling, praying in low voice, as if revering gods.

What they were afraid of was not themselves, but Master Ogulev around them.

Raistlin's hand slowly swept across Elaine Tor, and standing on a high place, his all-seeing eyes had a panoramic view of the entire city, seeing through those caverns, rock walls and tunnels, and many hidden places were invisible to him. , revealing the secret.

Soon, he discovered an anomaly.

Elaineto has too few illithids!

According to the "Strange Memo", the larger the city of a spirit sucking monster, the greater the number of spirit sucking monsters, up to a thousand people. Elaineto has 60,000 to 70,000 slaves, they are both labor and food, enough to support more than 500 illithids.

However, there are less than a hundred illithids in Elaineto.

The brain pool in the palace was used to breed the offspring of illithids, and there was not even a single tadpole-shaped larva in it. If things went on like this, this illithid community would perish sooner or later.

All of this must have something to do with Master Ogulev.

And those spirit suckers turned a blind eye to Ogulev, and went about their own business.

When observing secretly before, Raistlin couldn't see clearly because the distance was too far and the time was short. Now that he observed carefully, he finally found that there were problems with these illithids.

They are all controlled, thoroughly controlled!

Control is not achieved through mind control or enslavement. Every spirit sucker is willing, without the slightest will to resist, because they are all clones of Ogulev!

Raistlin couldn't help being horrified.

So many clones!

No wonder his real mirror image felt a little strange when he fought the illithids in the mine. Those illithids understood and mastered spells far beyond their level. Each spirit sucker is like a master spellcaster, cooperating tacitly with each other to fully display the power of spells.

He thought it was the talent of the illithid, but now he realized that he had misunderstood it.

I am fighting against Master Ogulev.

If it weren't for the multi-core chip of the mutated mobile phone, combined with the enchanting effect of the endless storm, each mirror image would have the same spellcasting skills and strength as the main body. With those high-level and legendary spirit suckers alone, I would definitely not be an opponent.

Later, a holy spirit sucker rushed to the mine, and the mirror image was completely crushed.

"Did you see it?" Ogulev said lightly.

Raistlin knew he was referring to the clones of the illithids, and nodded, "Yes."

"Your eyesight is very good, and your strength is even more outstanding." Ogulev praised, "Especially your mirror image technique, I have never seen anyone who can master the mirror image technique to the point like you, even me , can't do it either."

"Master, thank you." Raistlin smiled modestly.

He and Ren himself have mastered many spells, including the wish spell known as the king of all spells, and the mysterious door key. However, the spell he is most proud of so far, and the spell that has improved his strength the most, is undoubtedly the mirror image spell!

For others, the mirror image technique is just to create a few sluggish temporary clones, the biggest effect is to confuse the enemy, and then throw a few simple spell attacks.

As long as the perception is a little strong, or has the ability similar to true seeing, it is easy to see through the true and false mirror images.

But for Ren and Raistlin, the mirror image technique is too powerful!

This is simply a spell tailor-made for him, and with the increase of Endless Storm, his strength has soared by more than ten times in an instant.

The effect of a transcendent element is comparable to that of multiple legendary elements.

"You don't have to be humble."

Ogulev said meaningfully: "I am indeed inferior to you in terms of mirror image attainment. I really want to know, how did you do it without merging the mastermind's demon soul?"

Raistlin stared blankly.

He hesitated for a few seconds, slowly shook his head, leaned forward and said: "Master, please forgive me for not being able to say, this involves my secret."

"It doesn't matter." Ogulev looked away and said lightly: "I just saw that the magic path you are taking is somewhat similar to my current situation. Out of curiosity, I tried it out. Since you don't want me, then Don't force it."

"Thank you Master." Raistlin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ogulev suddenly said, "You're not in Wezeland."

"What?"

Raistlin didn't understand this nonsensical sentence for a while, and he was taken aback for a while before he understood that what the other party said was that Ren's body was not in Wedzeland.

It is true, at this moment, that Wren is in his study at Glamorgan Castle!

How did he know?

Ren, who was sitting in the study, was startled. He stood up and looked around. His eyes penetrated the walls of the castle and scanned the space within a few miles, but he didn't find any clues. This made him even more surprised that someone could avoid his induction and detect his position.

There is no vigilance of the will to truth, no harvest of the key of the door and the eye of the soul.

It can be inferred from this that Ogulev's avatar in the empire is at least a holy rank caster, and below the holy rank, it is absolutely impossible to escape his induction!

Who is the one?

On Elaineto's stone bridge, Ogulev asked, "Why don't you go to Wezeland? Aren't you afraid that I'll stop you halfway so that you won't have a chance to meet Anxi?"

Raistlin sighed, "Master, I never thought of revealing your secret."

"oh?"

Ogulev's tentacles moved a few times, and he asked with great interest, "Why?"

"If you have fallen, I will report to the teacher without hesitation." Raistlin looked directly at the other party, looked at the two blue flames in the depths of the eyes, and replied unswervingly: "But I know, you didn't Fallen, is still the master Ogulevi who is admired by all the people of the empire."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I can judge whether a person has good intentions or malice towards me." Raistlin revealed part of the truth with a serious face.

"Hehe..." Ogulev suddenly laughed: "I can do it too. So, I believe you."

Raistlin froze.

Ogulev seemed satisfied with his reaction, and continued, "Even if you report it to Anxi and then pass the news to the Supreme Council, I'm actually not afraid."

This sentence reveals too much information.

There is an inner ghost of Master Oglevi in ​​the Supreme Council!

Raistlin was horrified, and many possibilities flashed through his mind. The names of holy soul wizards appeared one after another, and finally settled on a young but pale face!

In the cave outside Elaentor, Raistlin's true reflection looked at the human archmage in black.

He also had a young pale face.

The appearances of the two gradually overlapped. Although there were many differences in facial features, their temperament, features, eyes, and dressing habits were almost carved out of the same mold. The biggest difference between the two was that one was an archmage and the other was a Holy Soul Wizard.

Raistlin did not know the name of the young archmage in the cave.

But he knew the holy soul wizard.

Black Robe Duke Touzlei!

Ren and Raistlin suddenly realized that many questions in the past had been explained. Elder Nethani Desa died inexplicably in the prison of the Justice Church. The murderer has not been traced so far. It turned out to be the black hand of the Duke of Black.

And that time when the Supreme Council besieged the Holy Soul Lich, the Duke of Black Robe was also the most crucial figure.

The Duke of Black Robe has also mastered the stop of time. Without his action to destroy the Lich, the ending may be completely different.

In addition, the end of time escaped under the noses of many holy soul wizards, which was obviously operated by the black-robed duke secretly.

It's really well hidden!

Raistlin smiled wryly, "It turns out that the black-robed Duke is also the clone of the master."
