The subspace demon is essentially a kind of phase life, and the scientific name of the large classification is 'ethereal spirit', a strange life that mainly appears in the virtual realm, but is also distributed in the material world.

According to the information given by the Glimmer Cradle and the Silver Chip, the Subspace Demon is just one well-known branch of its outline, like the cockroaches in the class of insects, although there are countless types of insects, but only talk about pests and pesky insects

, the vast majority of people will think of cockroaches for the first time.

The subspace demon is the most notorious of the ethereal spirits.

The vast majority of demons have no entity, and exist in the form of a psychic spirit, a combination of mental barberries, in the form of the virtual realm and the subspace, because it prefers to live in a chaotic and chaotic environment on the verge of collapse, so it is more common in the subspace, hence the name.

The demons born from the abyss of the Void are initially extremely weak: small worms, but if they are parasitized, the parasitic life forms will be completely eroded and rotted from the soul to the body.

Eventually, the fully embodied demon will hatch from the body of the completely collapsed host, and the demon will have normal or even superior wisdom to the parasitic body, and if the physical body is intact, it will also have the physical body.

According to the data, there has even been a situation in the universe where an entire race has been eroded and hatched by demons.

At that time, the life of the civilization will become the cultivation embryo of the demon, and the original wisdom and talent will become the food of the demon, creating a huge demon empire.

The Solid Demon Empire has also launched expeditions to many other civilizations, eroding their societies and capturing their heroes to corrupt and become their own power.

This is the Demon, a very evil parasite of the Void.

Even the silver chips, which have always been mild, with a maximum label of 'edible/inedible', have labeled the subspace demon as 'requiring guardianship'.

Even the brain-eating insect swarm doesn't have this treatment!

Theoretically, the Void Machine God is also a type of Ethereal Spirit, but because it is more order-oriented, it is completely different in nature from the Demon.

Even, the reason why the 'Terminal Deleter', which was conceived by the Void Realm program of the previous era civilization, wanders in the Void Realm where the major human barberry gatherings are located and carries out 'purification work' may be to eradicate subspace evil things like 'demons'

The possibility of birth.

If I have to say, it's a virtual vaccine, and a virtual virus.

The machine god seems terrifying, but it is actually the unknown guardian of human civilization, which is probably the reason why many countries have adopted a 'cautious observation' attitude towards the Void Machine God and have not done excessive research.

--When a program that is supposed to be buggy is working, it's best not to mess with its code.

As for Sheo's toxins......

Obviously, the King of the Mountain had a bloody battle with the demon in an unknown area, and the demon's corrosive toxin even affected the unborn child, so Theo was born in the form of a dragon.

Fortunately, the King of the Mountain dealt with it in time, otherwise, the King of the Mountain might not have given birth to Xiou, but a demonic true dragon.

In that case, things will be difficult.

"It seems that the demon who fought with the King of the Mountain back then was also a demon of a very high position, and I don't know where the competition is, but there is actually a fourth-level demon......

Retracting his thoughts, Ian sighed in his heart: "This place of Terra is really strange and strange. I do vaguely remember that there were records of demons in books like the Abyss Prayer, but I thought it was just some kind of unique name for the Shroud monster.

"Unexpectedly, is it actually a large group of creatures in the Void Realm?"

Ian was going to go back and check the relevant information, and there must be information about demons in the books related to the Shroud.

Aldbert probably knows a little bit about it, too.

As for now...... Ian didn't know if the existence of demons was a secret in Terra, and Theo hadn't been cured yet, and the King of the Mountain probably didn't have the heart to tell Ian about the injury and poisoning of his robe.

His emotional intelligence is not low, but he will not catch people's past mistakes at such a critical moment and ask non-stop.

And......

Ian, for some reason, suddenly thought of the Church of the Blind Light.

The Death of the New Life of the Founding Priests of the Huaiguang Church...... If you strip away all the sacred cloak and talk about the essence, it feels a bit like the process of demons eating away at life and creating a new life.

It is only the end result that the result is not the embodiment of pure chaos and evil, but the complete opposite, full of good intentions

Moreover, Huaiguang only selects people who are dying, and does not forcibly convert a normal living person into a priesthood.

--Is it demon-related technology?

Or is it that all the techniques about the Void Psionic are like this, and they don't have to use death or near death as an opportunity to turn around and remind?

Ian didn't know if the information he knew was taboo, so he didn't dare to ask.

Knowing too much is one of the peculiar afflictions of the prophets.

Xi'o still needs to continue to purify for a week or two before he can return to normal, and the next recovery depends on the true dragon's physique.

In general, there is no point for Ian to stay in the Holy Mountain, anyway, with the King of the Mountain, the true dragon to take care of it, then Xio's safety will not be a problem.

No, Ian can also remotely control the Shimmer Cradle.

After saying goodbye to the King of the Mountain, Elder Cliff, and Anfa, Ian returned to the Avod Ministry alone, preparing to return to the Radiance Realm.

This trip to the Dragon Cult was perfect, after repelling the emissary of the Dragon Cult in the Flying Flame Land, and finding the new fragments of the Skyfall Spaceship, Ian proved his identity as the emissary of the Dragon God, and helped his side liberate his combat power.

According to the King of the Mountain himself, if it weren't for the distraction of taking care of Xiou, even if the Steel Wing Dragon King could use the power of the Flying Flame Land to stalemate with the robe, it would definitely not be as equal as before - the robe was a real dragon, definitely stronger than a wurm like the Steel Wing Dragon.

And Xi'o doesn't say much, as long as he can have the strength of the peak of the second energy level, he will definitely not drag down the king of the mountain.

At that time, the King of the Mountain, who has recovered his full strength, will be able to lead the Imperial Mountain People led by the Avod Department to launch a counteroffensive.

At this moment, Qingchao also returned from the feast of celebration of the mountain people.

The sea-descendant swordsman obviously drank a lot of alcohol, even if he was not drunk as a sublimator, but the smell of alcohol stained by his body could not be dissipated.

Especially when the other party was holding a pile of mountain people's special wheat cakes in his arms, he was taking a bite and a half of this efficiency to eliminate these carbs, which looked quite comfortable.

"How?"

Ian didn't care at all, but nodded with a smile: "How many did you find?"

"Eight, boss."

Swallowing the wheat cake in his mouth, Qingchao smiled and made a gesture of '!eight'.

He is a professional mercenary, and his professionalism is not so bad, and he eats his own banquet when his lord goes to work - the reason why Qingchao participates in the banquet of the mountain people is because of Ian's instructions.

He's looking for possible spies in the Avod Ministry based on the 'characteristics' given by Ian.

Eat something good by the way, of course.

Qing Chao took a turn in the banquet, drank a barrel of wine, and after eating half a table of dishes, he did find a lot of spies.

It's amazing to say, but in fact, Ian was just joking down the breath left by the Flying Flame Land Dragon Cult Emissary 'Copying Blade' in the middle of the fight.

The boy was characterized by this aura, and asked Qing Chao to look for the Avod mountain people that the other party had come into contact with in private, and naturally he would be able to find some spies who had developed within the Avod Ministry.

Of course, it may not be a spy, but simply left the mark of snooping...... But the result is the same.

"Leaving this list can be regarded as a thank you to Elder Manya, even if you don't catch all of them, so many people will definitely make the elders wake up and conduct a screening."

Ian thought so, and he praised, "Well done, Qingchao, so efficient!"

"Of course."

In this regard, Qingchao is also quite proud: "In essence, this is the same as swordsmanship, - a long weekday behavior has its rhythm and temperance, - once it is messed up, the whole person's taste will become strange, just like a person who is good at using a left-handed fast sword suddenly starts to use a heavy sword."

Sweeping like that, the rhythm and rhythm are completely chaotic. ”

"I just need to sift through the people who smell weird, and I can quickly find the ones who have something to do with the smell you said, Boss!"

--Is it actually swordsmanship experience?

Ian is skeptical, but since Qingchao has said so, let's believe him...

"That's right."

Speaking of this, Ian thought in his heart, and he motioned for Qingchao to approach, and the Sea-Descendant swordsman, although he was a little unclear, still leaned over.

Then, Ian raised his hand and pressed it to his forehead.

"Huh?"

Qingchao-Time didn't figure out what Ian was doing, but soon, he heard Ian's voice: "How is it, can you hear it? 】

Qingchao raised his head and looked at Ian, only to find that his lord was just smiling and not speaking: [It seems that he can hear it. Yes, this psionic skill is indeed worth parsing.]

"This is?!"

To say that Qingchao doesn't understand, it's really too underestimating him, as an elite mercenary who can be hired by the Boin Workshop for a long time, he quickly understands that this is some kind of spiritual energy that can communicate with the heart: [But, boss, I remember that your spiritual energy is not the observation system...]

Actually, with the character of Qingchao, he wouldn't ask such a thing - what is Ian's psionic competition, and where does he need to know?

Unless Ian took the initiative to tell him, otherwise, Qingchao would not guess a word, let alone ask.

He just doesn't understand internal affairs and doesn't know anything about politics, but when it comes to IQ and personality, Qingchao has always been not bad.

But psionic networks will turn that idea into communication.

[A little trick]

Ian also knew that Qingchao didn't plan to ask, and he was now experimenting with the supporting technology 'Swarm Mind Network' obtained from the Parallel World Swarm, and found that this technology was indeed good.

The hive's psychic network is not a psionic power, but a special psychic organ, and the physical entity is a diffuser and receiver that can increase the contact range of the network - Ian speculates that there must be a 'base station zerg' in the swarm who is responsible for relaying signals, special

Responsible for maintaining the Swarm Master's command and remote control of other swarms:

Ian uses his psionic energy to simulate its structure, and then blesses Qingchao on his body, so that Qingchao can also have the ability of a psychic network for a short time, allowing Ian to talk to Qingchao's mind, and even briefly see what Qingchao can see.

However, this spiritual structure of the mind is very primitive and does not convey much information...... In particular, the transmission of mood and thinking must be very close.

It's close, not even a few hundred meters.

Ian instructed Qingchao to stand twenty meters away, and found that the transmission of the signal was somewhat distorted, and the information transmitted from Qingchao's perspective was almost about 700 degrees of myopia, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and his voice was all noise.

This is certainly the reason why there is no physical entity to strengthen the signal, but it is also too bad.

Ian understood that this psionic network was completely for the use of insect swarms - bugs, as long as the general command was passed over, and the general information was transmitted, it could be used as big data.

To put it simply, it is the 'compound eye' of the soul

Even if there is very little information transmitted by a single bug, as long as tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of biter individuals transmit information, no matter what, the swarm master can clearly see the whole picture on the field.

Moreover, bugs don't have complicated moods or complex thinking, so it's good to be simple, easy to maintain, and it's not easy to make mistakes when you order feedback.

"No wonder, in a world where there are obviously psionic powers, the empire is still developing information systems."

Ian thought of the standard armor of the patrol knights, and couldn't help but nod slightly: "Until the problem of receiving and sending psionic signals is solved, electronic signals are more practical." At least it's easier to repair. ”

That being said, Ian believed that the Empire was well aware that the electronic signal network was only a temporary alternative to the psionic network that could truly communicate minds.

By the time technology advances, psychic networks will definitely replace electronic networks.

It's like just now, the truest thoughts in Qingchao's heart emerged... This is not a good thing for individuals, but if it is a place where real cooperation is required, such as on the battlefield, this kind of thinking has its advantages.

As long as it works well together, it's enough to reach the point where a squad plus one plus one is far greater than three.

Ian also thought of his brother 'Elan'.

Although Elan has not fully awakened his psionic energy now, part of the ability shown by his psionic potential is to sense the mood and state of Ian and other individuals who are quite concerned.

Although it was only one-sided, Ian didn't even know when Elan would communicate... now

But if this psionic energy can be paired with a psychic network...

Perhaps, we can usher in an evolution?

But that's all for later.

Shaking his head slightly, his mind turned back to reality, Ian disconnected the mental network and asked Qingchao how he felt, "How is it?"

"I'm a little scared."

The swordsman thought for a moment and replied solemnly, "At that moment, I thought I didn't have any secrets—although I don't have anything to hide from you, everyone knows that there are times when some not-so-good thoughts flash through my mind...

… No one wants to know about this kind of thing. ”

When he said this, Qingchao had palpitations.

Obviously, everybody has to be a little bit of a secret, and that's what makes a healthy relationship.

If you don't know everything, you can't make decisions, that's not a good leader, that's a disease.

"This aspect must be corrected."

Ian nodded slightly, thoughtful in his heart: "This is probably the reason why it is difficult for mental networks to develop...... It is because of his independence and his own inviolable thoughts that he has formed an intelligent life...... and hive swarms

The existence of a gestalt with a mental network as the main body is very different. ”

"Therefore, the thinking filtering and selection within this mental network, as well as the spiritual firewall, also have to be thought about in advance for technical reserves."

This is actually the reason why Ian came out with the green tide - there are many times when Ian wants to experiment with something new, but he is not enough for himself, and he has to find another companion.

When in the Imperial Capital, the subject was half Isengard and half Birch Frost Butterfly, and they were both happy to help Ian.

Back to Nanling, it's Scott, Qingchao and others.

After leaving behind a list of spies, Ian said goodbye to the Cliff Elder who had returned from the Holy Mountain.

"You said you were going to raid the Autonomous Region of Midra...... Well, it's a good idea that when we have a decisive battle with the rebel hillmen in the Autonomous Region of Frodo, you can raid the rear directly. ”

Elder Mancliff had already guessed Ian's thoughts, but he still had some doubts: "But the defenses of the Autonomous Region of Midra are very strong, and Cod Jammu is a smart man, he values his lair far more than the other chiefs, as long as the news of your dispatch of troops spreads

, they will be fully on the defensive. ”

"The Jiamu and Midra Autonomous Regions, which have been armed by the Flying Flame Land, are absolutely impregnable to us, and even if the regular army on the Nauman Domain passes, they will have to endure hardships when they march in the mountains."

"Yes."

Ian was well aware of this, so he was prepared: "So I'm not going to lead a surprise attack."

The white-haired young man smiled and said his plan to reassure his allies: "I will break into the interior of the Midra Autonomous Region with a few elite troops, and wreak havoc on all kinds of key facilities, such as alchemy workshops, in the event they don't expect.

By the time they reacted, it was too late. ”

"Until then, the rebel mountain people will never know about my plans. Their spies will only know that I am going to carry out a raid on bandits in the winter, to destroy all the defeated troops, robbers and bandits in the surrounding mountains and wilderness, and prepare for the next year's spring ploughing. ”

"There's no way they can doubt the news."

"Hmm." Elder Manya nodded slightly, "What do you need me to do?"

Ian's plan was so well developed that the reason why he brought it up instead of going it alone was that there was definitely something he needed to help do.

"Attract more rebel mountain forces to the autonomous region of Frodo."

This is Ian's real purpose: "Elder Manya, next I will provide Yu with a batch of 'Magnetic Storm Armor' as military support, I need you to publicize this matter with great fanfare, while publicizing that this is the Dragon God Messenger Heavenly Thunder Punishment, but also let others think,

This is how I support the Worship of the Dragons and you. ”

"At the same time."

Speaking of this, Ian's expression became serious: "Elder, you have to let the enemy capture a 'Magnetic Storm Armor'"

"It's best to let the people of the Flamelands take prisoners, but if not, so can the others. Don't be too deliberate and convince them that this is the spoils of their hard work. ”

“… I understand. ”

Elder Mancliff knew what Ian meant.

There must be a positioning device inside those Storm Armors that could help Ian find the Flamelands' base in the Byson Mountains.

At that time, the Imperial side will definitely dispatch elite troops to cooperate with the King of the Mountain to destroy it in one fell swoop!

While there must be shielding technology on the Flamelands side, Ian is so confident, why not believe it?

Anyway, even now, even if Ian told Elder Manya that he would soon be able to advance to the third energy level, he would believe it 100%.

At this moment, the old man smiled, but he was still a little puzzled: "But isn't the Magnetic Storm Armor your unique technology?" Just let it go to the other party......"

"That's 'special'. Don't let cronies drive. “

Ian shook his head, although he wouldn't take the magnetic storm technique too seriously, but how could it be possible to let him give it to the other party for no reason?

Elder Manya was old and mature, and he fully understood what the word 'special' meant, so he stroked his beard with a smile: "I understand." Rest assured, I'll let the 'people' on the list and the suspicious ones get behind the wheel."

"At that point, they won't even need to fight, they'll send the Magnetic Storm Armor over."

"That's for the best." Ian laughed - there was no need to fight, there would be no exposure, and the loot sent by the spy would definitely be taken straight to study.

Exactly what he wanted the situation most.

After discussing cooperation on the war effort, Ian asked for some important information.

Ji Ru said, where did the 'potion material' of the third level of the Elder of the Cliff get from.

--Is it a serious purchase, or is it a legacy from the ancestors?

If it is a purchase, then where is the channel that is not the attention of the Empire?

If it's a legacy from your ancestors... Do the mountain people have any third-level potion materials left?

Even if it's expensive, when the Xia Hui Leader is on the right track, Ian can spend money on it.

"It's the true dragon channel of the King of the Mountain."

Elder Manya didn't ask why at all, he directly told Ian the answer: "This is also the reason why I joined the Dragon Worship Sect for asking - more identities are one more way, although there are also a lot of troubles and things, but in general, the identity of the Dragon Worship Sect is still for me."

There are a lot of benefits. ”

"After Theo is cured, the King of the Mountain will definitely take the initiative to search for third-level potion materials for you... Of course, if it is a potion material, it can also be. Overall, with the King of the Mountain here, you don't have to worry about that. ”

"The real dragon is rich." Elder Manya said meaningfully.

"Then I'll be relieved." Ian chuckled softly, too.

Although it feels a bit soft rice, considering that the king of the mountain can also be a majestic father, Ian doesn't care whether it is soft rice or hugging his thighs.

--Moreover, the channel of the real dragon?

"In that case, such a rare material as the leyline-derived crystal... Maybe it's not that hard to get. ”

With a bumper harvest in mind, Ian and Qingchao embarked on a journey back to the Xiahui Territory.

The words are divided into two ends, Ian's side is happy, but the spies of the entire Southridge Flying Flame Land are guilty.
