690. Test Mission
It is a rocky cave deep into the belly of the mountain, no less than a thousand acres in size, like a hill hollowed out in its entirety, with five rising from the ground to support the dome. The air was slightly damp and there was the sound of falling water.
What made Jiang Yiming a little strange was that it didn't look dark in this cave. I don't know what was placed on the five stone pillars, and the pale red light emitted could make the demons see clearly.
Hundreds of archdemons and winged demons took their tools and walked down the passage deeper into the depths, seemingly to mine ore. There were no orders from the demons during the whole process, and everything was commanded by more than a dozen Mind Flayers.
"Well, this place is a good place that our Xilin tribe has found, there are magic iron and magic crystals in the depths of the hills and mountains, as long as they are mined, they can be exchanged for slaves. Therefore, every member of the Xilin tribe can eat a demon brain every day. ”
A middle-aged man with a pale face, two eyes shining with a slight silver glow, and four tentacles on his neck walked over and said kindly. If it weren't for the tentacles, it would look like a normal neighbor uncle.
Jiang Yiming could feel the huge spiritual ability of this middle-aged man, which was on par with himself, and his heart suddenly tightened. It was the most powerful Mind Flayer he had ever seen, and those who were directing the demons to do things were simply incomparable.
He smiled back and said, "That sounds good, but the tribe that is so in harmony with my neighbors is exactly the kind I want to join." I really don't want to be driven away by a nearby demon again, that feels too bad. Call me Jiang. ”
"Wait, even if you are a powerful wandering mind destroyer, if you want to join, it is not for me to decide, you must be tested by the elders." Aaron, a middle-aged man, didn't say yes.
Jiang Yiming felt a little strange, Baron Tevez said that the Mind Flayer is a demon that pays attention to unity, and he should not be warmly welcomed if such a 100% Heart Flayer proposed to join? This is not the case now.
If you agree, you agree, if you don't agree, you don't agree, what does this test mean? It's the same as casting a name. However, in order to become an Elder of the Mind Flayer and get the secret of advancement, he stood still and waited for the following. I thought to myself: If the test is not too difficult, then go for it.
"Thousands of miles away, there is a demon viscount named Riken, who seems to be a little dissatisfied with our Xilin tribe, and from time to time will send a large army to intercept the trade routes transporting slaves. Your mission isn't difficult, just take out Rickon. ”
Aaron said lightly, as if he were talking about what to eat for the night. It's just that every demon nobleman is not a simple person, otherwise how could he get the favor of the Abyss Will and become a nobleman who dominates the party.
The title of demon nobleman can only be canonized by the will of the abyss or the lord represented by the will of the abyss. And in order to be able to suppress their subordinates, they are very powerful, not like the nobles of the medieval court.
Just like the castle of Count Aosta, where Jiang Yiming had been to not long ago, he was deeply impressed by the powerful demons of plural calculations. It's just that the Demon Viscount is still within his ability, and it doesn't seem like it can't be done.
He pondered for a while, but decided to accept this test, after all, it was rare to find a tribe of Mind Flayers. If you give up this time, you don't know how long it will take to find the next tribe.
"By the way, Jiang, those of your men were stopped by us. They wanted to come in, but the internal situation was not enough to open a house for them for the time being, so they were sent to the entrance of the passage. You can rest assured that there is no danger to life. Aaron said to Jiang Yiming's back.
Jiang Yiming's footsteps paused slightly, and continued to move towards the exit. No wonder I didn't see Tevez and Li Jialun coming over, and they were sent out by the Mind Flayer while they were there. And all this did not happen any movement, which attracted his attention, and I have to say that there are really many strong people in the Mind Flayer Demon Tribe.
When he walked to the entrance of the passage, he saw Baron Tevez and Li Jialun and other five winged demons lying on the ground, sleeping like dead pigs and unresponsive to the outside world. If they had slept like this in the wilderness, they would have been killed by gluttonous demons.
Six spirit thorns burrowed into the skulls of the six demons, and the sharp pain woke them up. If you don't wake up, if you don't wake up from the severe pain of a severed finger, it's almost like a dead corpse.
"Ah, my lord, didn't we follow you, why did we all retreat to the entrance of the passage?"
"You stupid demons, haven't you noticed anything unusual? We were all assaulted and thrown outside. ”
Jiang Yiming reached out and patted Tevez, who was depressed, and asked him for information about the Demon Viscount Rickon, but this time he didn't get a valuable answer.
"My lord, this Viscount Rickon should have appeared recently, I don't know its information yet, but if I give me some time, I will definitely be able to get it in Fort 30." Tevez shook his head, but quickly said he could collect it.
Jiang Yiming shook his head and said, "There is no need for this, it's just a demon viscount, and it will be a dead demon soon." ”
"My lord, I don't think we can trust the information of the Xilin tribe too much, who knows what kind of thoughts they have, it's better to inquire about Viscount Rickon." But Tevez still insisted.
Jiang Yiming thought about it and felt that it was safe, so he changed his mind and asked Tevez to go to Fort 30 to find out the news. Viscount Rickon wasn't far from the fort, so it sounded easy to fight, and even his penchant for hand-tearing demons could be heard.
Baron Tevez quickly converged and said, "My lord, there is nothing wrong with this Rickon being a viscount, but his background is not small, and he is the son of the commander of Fort 30. ”
Jiang Yiming scolded secretly in his heart: Sure enough, he is tired. When he first heard about this task, he felt a little strange, there were so many Mind Snatchers in the Xilin tribe, it was impossible for even a Demon Viscount to solve it. Now the reason is clear, and the final decision can only be made by him.
Done! In the end, he decided to take a little risk and complete the test of the Xilin tribe. It's just that he is also prepared, and he plans not to let go of any of the demons in Viscount Rickon's castle, so as not to leak the news.
Viscount Rickon Castle.
The distance of thousands of miles is not even a day for the demons, and Jiang Yiming and his party of demons soon came to the gate of the castle. The message said that Rickon hadn't come out of the castle lately, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
Jiang Yiming took a closer look and found that this Viscount Castle was two or three times larger than the Castle of Baron Tevez, and it was a small size compared to the Thirtyth Military Fort. (To be continued.) )
