Chapter 494: The Mind Flayer's Infiltration Plan

Henry immediately responded to Uncle Casedon's request. When he picked up the skin, he suddenly found that it was written in at least six different languages, and most people could not understand it. But it doesn't matter, there's magic. He immediately cast a "reading magic" to translate the words on the leather and read it aloud to no one else.

"The base has been set up and the infiltration work is ongoing. The Hidden Ones gather the devotees, and soon we will be able to control the hearts and minds of the whole group......"

"It's incredible! These guys actually want to infiltrate and control the whole of Am. There's a list below, so I guess it's better not to read it. With that, Henry handed the hide to Caton. He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and no matter what the outcome, he would undoubtedly offend a lot of people.

Kaidong nodded slightly, and carefully placed the parchment paper close to his body. "Yes, this has to be handled with care. I'm going to report this to the Grand Master now, and I have to say that you've done you a great favor once again. ”

"You're welcome, this is what I'm supposed to do. Now it's finally time to start identifying these treasures. With that, Henry ignored the hastily departing paladin uncle and concentrated on identifying a few magical items.

――――――――――――――――――

Magical Staff:

Only the gamblers would dare to use this staff in battle. At startup, it is completely unpredictable and can even lead to suicide. The mage Marimaker created it as a gift to his enemies, but the main intention was to punish them. The recipient's reaction is unknown. Always use with caution. Or simply not at all.

When using a staff, the following effects will randomly occur:

12% chance to unleash fireballs, lightning, stinkclouds, cobwebs. In addition, it will petrify enemies or increase their strength by 4. Duration twenty-four seconds. Of course, if you're lucky, you'll speed yourself up for twenty-four seconds, and if you're unlucky enough, you'll bless your enemies with six layers of stone skin.

In short, it's a staff that can't be determined unless you feel lucky enough or desperate. Otherwise, it's better not to use it.

Fifty rounds remaining

――――――――――――――――――

Order Breaker:

It was a lightweight weapon capable of delivering powerful blows, and lightning jumped across the surface of the axe's blade. It's a very unstable and powerful weapon in your arsenal. However, it looks like it has a mind of its own. It likes the owner of the chaos camp, and when taken into the city, it makes a tapping sound, as if it doesn't like to come there.

Combat Capabilities:

Because it is particularly light, someone else wields the weapon once. You'll be able to swing it twice

Each hit has a 50% chance to deal extra lightning damage

Faction Restrictions:

Only non-orderly factions can use it

―――――――――――――――――――

Thunder Warhammer:

A dwarven blacksmith named Silverblade forged the hammer and two other items; A "Frost Giant's Power Belt" and "Ogre Power Gauntlet". He had wanted to give them to his son as a gift. At the time, his son was a high-ranking officer in the dwarven army and was fighting against the giants and ogre tribes in the region. Unfortunately, Silverblade's son died shortly before the three items could be delivered to him. In the midst of his grief, Silver Blade put on his sash and gloves, lifted the Thunder Hammer, fought the Giants, and died heroically.

The Thunder Warhammer is a powerful magic weapon in its own right, but when combined with the Ogre Power Gauntlet and the Frost Giant's Power Belt. The hammer will change. This transformation requires the assistance of magic. The Thunder Hammer can then deal massive extra damage and instantly kill the Giants or Ogres it hits.

――――――――――――――――――――

The last remaining hoop. Even if you don't have to recognize Henry, you know what it's for. The Mind Flayer calls this a skull ruler, and as the name suggests, it is a ruler used to measure the size of the brain. It was used to measure the size of a slave's head so that these evil creatures could pick the smartest and most nutritious brains to eat.

In addition, there was a suspicion that the bar displayed by the ruler also included whether a person had psionic potential. However, since most people don't have psychic abilities, they can't understand the meaning at all, and they can only stay guessing. But it is undeniable that this ruler can indeed measure whether a person is smart or not.

As for the three magic items above, the artifact staff is purely collectible, and it is useless at all except for selling it for money. I believe that no sane spellcaster would use such an uncertain thing lightly, because that would be a joke with one's own life at all.

The Order Breaker is a good battle axe, and if it is delivered to Kogan, it will surely become a killing weapon. However, the evil dwarven warrior is not here now, so it can only be sealed for the time being. The last Thunderhammer is of little use right now, and it won't be able to reach its true power until it's fully merged.

It can be said that this operation was a great success, not only gaining a large amount of experience points, but also getting a new research topic, the psychic ability. Of course, Henry also paid a considerable price, at least two or three days of honest stay to regain his ability to walk. However, he had already made plans for the next few days, and was going to spend a few days in Am's mage tower and teach the apprentices there.

Ever since Amelia brought this year's apprentices back, these young families have been in a state of herding sheep, learning and exploring on their own except for the daily public classes. Obviously, this will not produce a real mage at all.

Henry decided to use the past few days to train his apprentices and let them know what a demon mentor you are. Just as he was contemplating how to twist his apprentice, Caton returned with Grand Master Witherland, followed by representatives of the major temples and several of Am's high-ranking officers, including Wild.

You can see it in the attitude of the senior pastors. This holy warrior who believed in Los Angeles had a very high status in the church. However, his current condition is not very good, not only is the armor on his body tattered, but his face is unusually pale. At first glance, it was a loss of blood in the battle just now.

I have to say that this guy's life is really hard enough, and he can survive such a fierce battle. You must know that Henry put him in the front row of the death squad for personal gain, and theoretically there is no possibility of survival, but he not only managed to survive, but it seems that his professional level has also been greatly improved.

Grand Master Witherland approached, and without saying a word, asked, "Your Excellency the Dragon Rider." Can you be sure of the authenticity of this list? ”

"Yes, this is found inside the base, and it is basically impossible to be fake. Of course. It cannot be ruled out that some of the people above were forcibly controlled by the Mind Snatcher, and perhaps they will return to normal after their death. Henry deliberately made his words ambiguous. He knew that several nobles and parliamentarians were involved in the list, and if he didn't do well, he would set off a political storm.

Hearing this answer, the representative of the Temple of Heim frowned and asked, "That is to say." We have no way of telling who is taking refuge. Who is being compelled to charge? ”

Henry deliberately pretended to be helpless and nodded: "That's right, but magic should be able to detect who has traces of psychic abilities, and it's hard to say whether they are accused or not." However, I suggest that you use "detection of lies" to interrogate one by one, so that it is clear who is innocent and who is actively taking refuge in evil creatures. Finally, I must be reminded that there is a Mind Flayer known as the Hidden One in the city. ”

"Damn! I almost forgot the most important point. Thank you very much for your answers, we now know what to do. Grand Master Wesselland bowed, and then hurried away with the group. Look at the expressions on their faces as if they were facing a great enemy. There was no doubt that it was intended to return to the city immediately for a thorough investigation of the city.

After a simple incineration of the corpses, the coalition forces began their mighty return journey. When they came, it was fifteen hundred. When I went back, not only did it not decrease, but it increased by several hundred. They were all slaves who had been seized by the Mind Snatcher, including adventurers, townspeople, peasants, and some slaves smuggled in from other places.

Since the sewers had been cleaned up along the way, there were no monsters encountered along the way, and it was very smooth to return to the surface. Many of the rescued people burst into tears when they saw the sun again, kneeling on the ground and crying, not knowing whether they were grieving for those who died or crying for their own misery.

However, this has nothing to do with Henry anymore, and I believe that the Council and the Knights will properly settle these people. Just as he was about to leave, Caton requested to leave the team and returned the Holy Avenger and Agile Gauntlet.

"It's a pleasure to venture with you, but the time of separation will always come, because home is calling me back."

"Go, that's the best place for a hero. If you have any trouble, you can always come to us. With that, Henry gave the uncle a hug, and then threw the two pieces of magic equipment into the dimensional bag. He knew very well that Cadon would stage a crisis in his old age when he returned, but he believed that this charming old man would be able to handle it.

"Goodbye, my teacher, thank you for teaching along the way." Cerlie Leph said with a deep bow. For her, Caton is as respectable as her father and elders.

After hugging everyone one by one, Kaidong smiled and waved his hand: "Goodbye, if you have time, you can come and sit at my house, it is at the southern end of the administrative district, and you can find it by asking anyone about the Faircom house." ”

After seeing the young paladin leave, Henry returned to the Elatan Mansion with the rest of the people. He didn't even take a shower as soon as he entered the door, and directly left his teammates and returned to the room to start researching the "portable brain aid", intending to confirm what was stored here overnight.
