The sheer number of magical items is a huge surprise to everyone, but there aren't many that can really be used. After picking and choosing, Henry threw everything that he couldn't use for the time being into the dimensional bag, and distributed the rest on the spot. Celestial Love received a full-body armor, a magic shield, and a sword that shimmered emerald green, Aemon replaced it with a retractable dagger, Uncle Caton received a pair of magical bracers and a defensive helmet called "Gift of Peace", and Sheena wore a defensive charm helmet on her head.

――――――――――――――

Emerald Sword:

The longsword is green, giving the user a lot of individual protection, while also allowing the wearer to be further protected from damage as long as the correct magic spell is chanted. No one knows the direct origin of this sword, but everyone believes that the elves created it.

Crushing Gauntlets:

There was once a foreigner from the East called Floating Bear who was very famous in Sword Bay. He was able to defeat many powerful warriors without using weapons and armor. One night, while lying in the crook of a lady's arm, he told the secret of his heart. Originally, martial arts training was provided by wearing a thin pair of gauntlets, allowing them to hit enemies more accurately and deal more damage than their bare hands. Eventually, the woman stole the gloves and took a boat and left. The floating bear soon left the area and returned to his hometown.

Increases hits and damage when attacking hands with bare hands

――――――――――――――

Telescopic Dagger:

The dagger is retractable. Shake your wrist quickly and press the button on the handle at the same time, and the blade will pop out for another foot.

――――――――――――――

After getting dressed. Kaidon immediately asked Henry with a stern expression, "Do you think what the dwarf just said is credible?" This is Azkatra. Is there really a terrifying monster like the Mind Flayer? ”

"It should be about the same. At least I don't think anyone else can lie in this situation, and it's just a matter of confirming whether it's true or not. Saying that, Henry cast the "Detection Secret Door", only to see a flash of light on the wall less than sixty meters in front of him, there is no doubt that there is a hidden secret door there.

Curious, Ammon quickly ran over to inspect the shiny wall, and soon shouted at the crowd, "Look, there's a small hole here, like a place to insert a key." ”

"Get out of the way. I'll give it a try. Saying that, Hina stepped forward and released a second-level magic "percussion technique", and at the moment when the spell was about to take effect, an unknown force suddenly wrapped the keyhole, and the power of the magic was forcibly dispersed. She hurriedly lowered her head and looked at it carefully, and finally frowned and explained: "There is magic protection on this, I'm afraid it can't be opened without a designated key." ”

Selly Leph sniffed like a puppy, then raised her head and said to everyone seriously, "I can feel that there is a very powerful evil force here, and since we have discovered it, we should eradicate it." ”

"But isn't our immediate priority to investigate the masterminds behind the Blind Eye cult? It's probably not a good idea to waste too much time here. Aemon's face was tangled. After all, in the minds of most adventurers, completing the commission always comes first. If it is delayed due to other things, it will seriously affect the reputation of the entire team.

Kaidong sighed, then nodded slightly. "You're right. The most important task at the moment is to stop the spread of the cult, and as for this, we will talk about it when we return. As a paladin, learn to prioritize and prioritize the greater evils. ”

"Understood, thank you for your teaching." As she spoke, the holy warrior girl bowed slightly. For her, the experience summed up by her predecessors is very valuable, not to mention that Kaidong has been a holy warrior for more than thirty years, and there has never been a sign of degeneration.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Henry suddenly heard something, stopped, quickly began to rummage through his body, and soon took out a strangely shaped key from his waist bag. He smiled at everyone, inserted it into the shrinkage hole and twisted it hard, only to hear a "click", and the entire wall suddenly rotated ninety degrees, revealing a pitch-black passage.

"Oh my God! Where did you get this key? Sheena asked, surprised. You must know that a special magic lock like this is impossible to open unless the maker provides a key.

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Henry smiled and explained: "It was turned out in the depths of your biological father, the red dragon Faircrag's lair, and it still smelled of sewers at the time, I really didn't expect it to be used to open this place." ”

"How can a red dragon be connected to a Mind Flayer? And, again, that beast is not my father. As she spoke, a look of disgust appeared on her face. It can be seen that her feelings for Faircrag have no trace of family affection at all except hatred.

It's no wonder, after all, for most intelligent beings, the person they raised is always regarded as the closest person, and although the blood connection will have some influence, it will not be too big. What's more, what that red dragon did was obviously not in line with the values that his daughter had built up over the years, so it was not surprising that he was disgusted and spurned.

Kaidong glanced at the dragon maiden, and a smile of relief appeared on his face. He patted Hina on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "No matter what, there is definitely a big conspiracy hidden here, we had better confirm it as much as possible." In addition, the child is happy to see that you are not affected by the evil nature of your bloodline and are still on the path of goodness. ”

"So what are you waiting for, I'm so curious right now, let's go in and see what's inside." With that, Ammon couldn't wait to be the first to run in, but after less than five seconds, he retreated. She came out with a pale face, one hand tightly covering her mouth, and she looked like she was disgusted by something.

Seeing this situation, the others did not dare to slack off, and they all walked in one after another, wanting to know what was inside. With the night vision brought by the "Ring of Gus", Henry keenly noticed that there were countless corpses piled up on both sides of the narrow passage, most of them belonging to humans, and some elves, half-elves, gnomes, halflings, and dwarves. All of them have a distinct feature, that is, there are a lot of blood stains left in the ears, eyes, nostrils, etc., and even the empty skull can be seen from the bloody eye sockets.

There is no doubt that the brains of these intelligent beings have been eaten up. Judging by the number of corpses, the number of Mind Flayers is definitely not too small, and it should have been entrenched in the sewers for a while. Normally, this monster only needs to eat one brain per month to meet its nutritional needs, of course, if it overuses psionic energy, it needs to be replenished.

Just as everyone was cautiously exploring, a sudden surge of powerful psychic power surged, except for Selie Leph, who was holding the "Emerald Sword", everyone including Henry was shocked and couldn't move. Obviously, they had stepped on the psionic traps laid by these octopus heads, and there was no other way than to wait for them to slowly recover.

The holy warrior girl, who was still a rookie, was startled by the sudden change, and hurriedly raised her shield and stared vigilantly at the staircase in front of her. As a holy warrior who believes in the god of justice, she will never allow her teammates to be harmed under her protection, but this worry is obviously unnecessary, because until everyone recovers, there is no sign of the Mind Flayer.

Maybe it's because the octopus heads are too confident in the traps they've laid, or maybe because they don't care if anyone breaks in, and in short, it's a good thing that the enemy doesn't appear when they lose their ability to resist. You know, these guys have always had a penchant for clever brains, and if they find a legendary mage trapped here, they'll immediately flock to taste the brains full of wisdom.

Hyung shook his head with force and took a deep breath. This spiritual shock reminded him that a powerful legendary mage does not mean that he can have no scruples, and in this world full of supernatural powers, as long as he is careless, he may capsize in the gutter. In particular, the strange powers used by these octopus heads, known as psionic energy, can not only distort a person's mind, but are also so powerful that they can even change reality.

This energy source originates from long-term strict self-examination and mental training, and the cultivation of one's own spiritual ability. Those who have overcome demons and unexpected difficulties and are able to get rid of distracting thoughts in their hearts will learn how to awaken the power hidden in their bodies.

Among them, people like the Mind Flayer who focus on developing supernatural powers are called "psychic warlocks", and they constantly study their own psychic consciousness to discover a wider range of powerful spiritual powers. They meditate on their memories and the nature of their memories, argue with fragments of their personalities, and delve into every dark corner of their hearts. "Know thyself" is not just a maxim for a telemancer, but a path to great power.

It can be said that the psychic ability is strikingly similar to what Henry calls the power of the self, the same split personality, the same repeated re-understanding of oneself and retrieving previous memories, but the power of the self is more terrifying, and at the same time more dangerous, the slightest carelessness will be swallowed by the negative personality, and completely become a madman who is not very mentally normal.

After feeling the mind snatcher's psychic ability today, he suddenly felt that maybe he could consider going to the city of the mind snatcher after arriving in the dark region in the future, if he could successfully capture a master brain and study it well, maybe he could find some of the connections, and no matter how bad he was, he could find some ways to use energy, which was much faster than often performing some dangerous spells like himself, and it could also be guaranteed in terms of safety.
