After getting the crystal ball, Garina decided to invite Gordon to study it together. After all, such a mysterious Nesser era magic item, she knew that with her own ability, it would be difficult to uncover the mysteries in it. And in the series of battles just now, Gordon showed extraordinary wisdom and arcane attainments. With such a helper, it should be easier to study this crystal ball.

However, on the way to invite Gordon, Gallina, who was tormented by curiosity and curiosity, couldn't wait, so she decided to do her own research.

After using various props to probe the crystal ball and confirm that it was not dangerous, Garina tentatively injected a trace of arcane energy into it, wanting to study the internal structure. Who knew that at that moment, she heard a voice.

"Inheritance of errors, illegal detection, defense mechanism activation ......"

Then, there was the scene that Gordon and Akinham witnessed.

"I see." Gordon bowed his head and walked over to pick up the crystal ball that had rolled down to the corner of the tent.

Seeing that the mage's black eyes suddenly turned gilded amber, the couple looked surprised and looked at each other, but they didn't say anything, but waited for Gordon to finish the qiē.

Gordon flipped the crystal ball in his hand: "First of all, let's talk about what the essence of this thing is." It looks like a crystal ball, but it's not the same as the crystal ball that is mined from the ground, polished into a spherical shape, and then processed by various alchemical processes. This is not a stone, but a biological specimen. In more detail. It's a crystallized Mind Flayer brain. ”

Hearing the term Mind Flayer, both Akinhan and Garina couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. For adventurers, that's below the realm of legends. The most intractable, most formidable enemy - not even one.

This humanoid creature with a head that resembles an octopus has a powerful psychic ability that can manipulate and scare enemies. Of course, the most terrifying thing is that they will pry open the heads of their enemies and suck their brains along with the medullary fluid.

Powerful strength, brutal killing methods, coupled with superb intelligence and strict social structure. Make the Mind Flayer a formidably powerful race in the Underworld. Even the Dark Elves are often reduced to slaves to the Mind Flayer.

The Mastermind is the core of a Mind Flayer race, and it commands and controls other Mind Flayers. The other mind snatchers have established a psychic network through the guò mastermind, allowing the entire group to communicate quickly and share information without hindrance. This psychic network. The strength of the Mind Flayer Race has been further strengthened.

Conceptually. This is somewhat similar to the internet on Earth.

It is for this reason that the Mind Flayer has been targeted by the Great Arcanists of Nether.

After all, no matter how powerful a monster like the Mind Flayer is, it can't compare to the magic empire that not only dominates the material realm, but even conquers many different planes.

The Great Arcanists of Nether captured the Mind Flayer, dissected it in a living state, took out the brain, and processed it through more than a dozen alchemy processes such as crystallization, and finally made a crystal ball.

Such. A large crystal ball (server) with the Mind Flayer Brain as the core, plus dozens of small crystal balls (personal terminals) made by the same group of Mind Flayer Brains. It constitutes a local area network.

It was very convenient for Nesser's mages to be able to send messages to each other, chat in real time, and store and share knowledge.

Soon, the system spread throughout the empire, so much so that the number of Mind Flayers plummeted, and Guò had to be bred in captivity to meet the high demand for the Mind Flayer, a purple tadpole-like creature.

The crystal ball in Gordon's hand now is actually the service terminal of this big library. He believed that there were many similar Mind Flayer Crystal Balls in the Waisula Mountains, and in the core area of the Floating City, there was also a "central computer room" where the main brain crystal ball was placed.

Back then, the Elemental Emperor could use such a network to control the situation of the entire Floating City, collect information, and deal with political affairs.

"......I see," the mage suddenly realized after listening to Gordon's explanation, "It seems that my understanding of the Nether era is far from enough. ”

"Who can say that a distant and great time is fully understood?" Gordon said with a smile, "Ms. Bokarios, just now you probed the crystal ball and found that there was very little energy left in it, which could not cause any great danger, so you can rest assured and boldly conduct research." However, in fact, there is still a huge amount of energy stored in this crystal ball, but its nature is very special, it is the 'spiritual energy' of the Mind Flayer, and according to the ordinary method of detecting arcane energy, it is naturally impossible to find it. ”

The mind spells unique to the Mind Flayer race are not at all comparable to the mind spells of one of the eight arcane schools today. Psychic Spells, also known as psionic powers, are abilities that are used by directly activating life energy, similar to the power of warriors, and are spell-like abilities, rather than arcane abilities that are cast by the caster through the energy of the net.

Although when Jialina was studying the crystal ball, she blessed herself with some spells to protect against elemental energy, but she did not have any protection against the spiritual energy activated in the crystal ball.

"What does the crystal ball mean when I was in a coma - inheritance error, illegal detection? Is it only the Nethers who can use it? ”

"Something like this. The Arcanists of Nether's time, and the mages of today, use two different spellcasting systems. At that time, there was no magic net to save zài. ”

"It seems that unless you are a descendant of Nether, you can't use this crystal ball at all, what a pity." Karina looked disappointed, "The mental explosion released by the crystal ball just now has a great impact on me, and I'm afraid I won't be able to use the spell normally for the past two days." If you are interested in this crystal ball, you can take it and study it yourself. ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Rest well, ma'am. ”

Gordon said goodbye to the two men and left the tent.

The defense mechanism of this crystal ball is an insoluble thing for these mages who need to rely on magic nets to cast spells in this era. But for Gordon, there was no problem.

He also doesn't need a magic net to cast spells, and he has a lot in common with the Nether Arcanist.

When he returned to his camp, he saw that the boyish quarrel between the women seemed to be finally over. Sigrid and Ania sat in front of the magic lantern with their knees crossed, silent, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze completely.

Seeing Gordon returning, the female knight took the lead in getting up and walked in front of him: "Lord Earl, I lost my temper just now. It's a bit of an excuse to say that, but I don't know why, but I was like a fascination and said something I shouldn't have said at all. ”

Seeing Sigrid saluting him seriously, Gordon waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, don't take it to heart." You're just getting a little bit of jealousy, and Ainia is a victim. ”

"Master......" Ania also flew to his side with a hint of cool and leisurely breath, "It turns out that the kind of light and fire just now, pantothenic acid, and longing to let Miss Sigrid disappear from your side and take her place, is 'jealousy'!" I finally realized the kind of affection that the princesses in the novel had when they saw their beloved prince with other women. ”

It's also a valuable life experience...... Bar......

"But I don't want to feel this negativity again." Ainia whispered as the subject suddenly changed, "Then master, please throw away that album." Because of the defects of the model, the style of all the paintings has dropped to a new level. From now on, I'll be the model, and I'm sure you'll be inspired to design clothes! ”

"Little one, what do you say!" Ainia's words stirred up Sigrid again.

"The Earl has made me his first choice of model, are you accusing him of having a problem with his taste in choosing women? If you want to replace me, eat more food and grow up. Oh, by the way, you'd better pay attention to exercise, otherwise you stay in the nest all day long reading third-rate romance novels like before, and the two lumps of meat on your chest don't grow up, but become a little fat person, then ...... Hehe. ”

"Ugh." Gordon sighed. It seems that it will take some time for the jealousy in their bodies to completely disappear from their personality and behavior.

So Gordon once again moved away from the battlefield where this man was not suitable, summoned a wooden house with a spell scroll written in advance, and then slipped into it.

When the two girls are tired of arguing, they will naturally come in to rest, so let them go now.

Gordon lay on the bed, took the crystal ball in his hand, and slowly studied it.

With the help of the Eye of Truth and Warning, he quickly discovered the doorway, and then gathered the few remaining points of mana in the mana pool, concentrated them on the tip of his right index finger, and then slowly penetrated into the crystal ball.

"Identity confirmation, welcome to the ...... of the 100,000 Holy Scrolls Interactive Information System"

Hearing the sound coming from the crystal ball, Gordon knew he had succeeded.

The intricate and magnificent, star-like light of the crystal ball, began to gradually change, simplifying, and merging together to form rows of Naiser characters.

Gordon glanced at it and saw that it was about a DOS-like operating system. He controlled the magic of his fingertips, and according to the text prompts in the sphere, he kept changing, and soon extracted the bibliographic information of the entire library. But no matter how tempting the magic texts listed above were, they were of no use to Gordon. Those empty bookshelves are the harsh reality.

But soon, as you dig deeper, surprises follow.

Gordon found something valuable in another "arcane information cloud" inside the crystal ball, or in the understanding of earthlings, a text jiàn folder.

That's the information that many of the Nesser Arcanists had saved from the Guò Crystal Ball network to exchange spell experiences. (To be continued......)
