Every bite made him feel that eating is a supreme enjoyment!
There is an experience of ecstasy!
however.
Just when he wanted to eat two more bites and continue to immerse himself in it.
"boom!!"
in a loud explosion.
A crimson mushroom cloud over a hundred meters high exploded somewhere in the dungeon under the impact and strong wind!
The fiery red brilliance, before the sound passed over.
Just through the window of the room, the whole room was dyed red...
that moment.
The face of the [Illithid Elder] was full of astonishment!
"Enemy attack???"
Chapter 970: I don't know how to be grateful
After half an hour.
Facing the information and intelligence of things quickly sorted out by his subordinates.
[Illithid Elder] With an angry and puzzled expression, he used his telepathic ability to confirm to his subordinates once again:
"So, are the biggest suspects in this incident just a few hundred slaves?"
The words were full of doubts.
Obviously, He doubted the authenticity of these messages.
And in the face of the boss's undisguised suspicion.
The [Illithid] who was being questioned could only reply helplessly:
"Yes, according to our understanding and investigation, among the group of fugitive slaves, the [Githyanki] named [Fredos] should be the most suspicious person."
This time, face the answer.
[Illithid Elder] did not question anything again, but found the information of [Fredos] in the displayed materials, looked at the words [Native-born and local slaves] that were specially marked, and fell into a There was a brief silence.
After a while, he opened his curtains through psychic powers, looked out the window at the outer defense of the dungeon that had been forcibly blasted into a big hole, and continued to ask:
"Then, as a group of free slaves who grew up here, how did their leader, the guy named [Fredos], rely on to cause such a destructive effect?"
His subordinates respectfully replied:
"According to the investigation, they should have planted some kind of special explosive there in advance, and then used some kind of spell to affect the detection effect of the surrounding defensive enchantment to prevent the effect."
Hear these words.
[Elder Spirit Siphon], a sinister look appeared in those round eyes, and he asked in a low tone:
"Spell?"
"explosive?"
"I don't remember, I let those things flow through the slave..."
As an existence that rules the entire dungeon.
Since hundreds of years ago.
He forcibly confiscated the cultural heritage of all slaves.
And consciously isolate them from each other.
Let them have less communication, a gap between their hearts, and they cannot pass on knowledge.
So you can't make trouble for yourself.
So long past hundreds of years.
Those slaves should have forgotten their own writing long ago.
The so-called history, at most, relies on word of mouth.
And in this case.
A slave who grew up here since he was a child can not only produce explosives, but also have spells that can affect even defensive barriers?
That is undoubtedly an extremely wrong question!
Could it be that this is the special ability you have developed without a teacher?
To be able to have such abilities in such a harsh environment, what kind of shocking genius comes once in ten thousand years? ?
You are kidding me!
Therefore, in the eyes of the [Illithid Elder], it must be that some [Illithids] made major omissions when managing slaves!
Except that.
Thanks to the feature of [Spiritual Communication] of the [Illithid] group, this incident also spread throughout the entire [Illithid Empire] in a very short period of time.
It would be a shame to directly let the [Illithid Elder] who rules here be true.
Be reduced to the joke of all compatriots!
That kind of scene is like the farmer letting the other party run away after being humiliated by the livestock he raised in front of the guests and the immediate boss.
He couldn't help being angry!
But at this moment, facing the tone of his immediate superior who wanted to hold him accountable.
The illithid not far away also felt sad from his heart.
Full of helpless emotions.
Replied a little bluntly:
"This...we can't understand..."
"Because, in the last few hundred years, we have been deliberately reducing the materials and knowledge accessible to slaves, so that most of the time, their living conditions are not much different from a group of savages..."
"So, logically speaking, they really shouldn't have the prerequisites for using explosives and spells..."
Facing his baseless rhetoric.
[Illithid Elder] After glaring at him violently, he stood up directly from his seat.
Walking to the window, looking at the slaves who are still filling the huge holes in the dungeon, he said with a sinister look:
"In this case, then screen all the remaining slaves in the city!"
"Whether it's using mind reading or forcefully extracting consciousness!"
"Don't let go of any traces, you must find out the truth for me!"
"I must kill those escaped slaves!!"
"Understood, just get out of here!"
The so-called mind reading and consciousness extraction are extremely crude spells or psychic powers.
If there is a slight error, it will leave some irreparable effects on the brain and consciousness of the user.
Thus becoming a fool or a vegetable.
Even for the caster, it is not a simple matter, and it has a relatively large burden and side effects.
So, under normal circumstances.
There is basically no need to use those two methods.
After all, with that kung fu, it would be quicker to kill all the ones who didn't let go.
But right now.
Seeing [Elder Spirit Siddhid]'s resolute attitude, his subordinates did not dare to speak too much.
After all, he could only bite the bullet and nod in response:
"...Yes, my subordinates understand."
Say it.
He just turned around and walked out of the room.
Thinking distressedly, what should I do to be able to screen out the population of more than [-] slaves in the dungeon...
It would obviously be extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive for [Illithids] with a population of only a thousand to try mind reading and consciousness extraction one by one.
Afterwards, the slave population of the entire city is bound to be greatly reduced.
It is not impossible to cut the number directly...
And wait for him to leave.
The [Illithid Elder] standing on the window sill could no longer hold back the anger in his heart.
Waves of majestic spiritual energy surged out like a tide.
Immediately, the surrounding air turned into overlapping ripples.
It made the furniture in the room all rattle!
It was as if a light earthquake had occurred here.
"A bunch of damn guys..."
"As a slave, I just make you work eighteen hours a day."
"The eaten brains have always been kept under control, keeping your population growing."
"But you don't know how to be grateful at all, and dare to make me lose face with the entire ethnic group, and let His Majesty blame me for my ineffectiveness..."
"I have to peel off your skins, take out your souls, and burn them with the flames of your soul for 1000 years..."
Chapter 971: A decisive response
In the angry mood of 【Elder Spirit Sid】.
Inside the dungeon that was in turmoil due to [Fredos]'s escape.
Soon, more waves were also set off.
A large number of [Mind Sid] who were idle and not doing business every day were mobilized.
Started working without a license as an investigator.
And a large number of slaves who didn't even understand things were investigated repeatedly, and even their minds were read on the spot...
All these actions can basically be called a blanket search!
It is no exaggeration to call it digging three feet!
And under their exhaustive search at all costs.
Even after processing, many traces that could not be perfect after all were dug out one after another at an extremely fast speed, and then restored by specialized personnel...
That's it, two days later.
A brand new detailed report was placed in front of the 【Elder of the Spirit Sid】.
On it, many things that were not recorded before were revealed.
For example: In the recent period, many of the slaves who died inexplicably from time to time have a special connection with [Fredos]...
The emergence of this information, coupled with the sudden surge of the opponent's strength, which is completely in line with the record...
[Elder Spirit Siphon] also had a bottom line in his heart immediately.
Roughly guessed something.
"By hunting other life forms, so as to snatch the other party's power or knowledge..."
"In this way, it is not surprising that [Fredos] can make such a commotion, but it is very normal..."
