The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 564 Breaking the Dreamland
William glared angrily at Da Sophilia, who looked a bit rough, what a stupid woman!Don't you see that you are in danger? !
He sneered and said, "Da Sophilia, don't be stupid! Now you have fallen into my hands. If I wave the knife in my hand like this, you will be completely belching and playing!"

Da Sophilia asked in confusion: "William, why did you kill me? Is there a deep hatred between us?"

"There is no hatred, but there is resentment!" William gritted his teeth and said, "Before you deliberately lured me into the nest, exiled Qiushui Daoling, and threatened me to go into a dangerous situation to do things for you..."

Dasofelia blinked and interrupted: "Just for this, are you going to kill me?"

"I..." William wanted to say yes, but the subconscious in his heart made him unable to say it. When did he become so restless and irritable, and killed so indiscriminately!

Thinking of this, William was startled. He finally realized that something seemed to have affected his mind.

It's not that William has never encountered an existence that can affect people's minds, but it is the first time that a big girl can get on the sedan chair in a situation like today where he can be recruited silently.

He turned his head and looked around in shock, but he didn't find anything for a while.

William lowered his head and whispered to Sophilia: "There is something affecting my mind here, can you know what it is?"

Dasofelia was also shocked when she heard the words, she turned her head and looked around a few times, and finally cast her gaze on the pool of fleshy mucus in the middle of the hall, and said almost without thinking: "It's that thing! The central brain pool of the mind flayer! If I guessed correctly, He should be influencing you. However, what have you done so that the mind flayer brain pool, which almost never takes the initiative to cause trouble, is specifically targeting you?"

Indeed, the mind flayer's brain pool hides the biological mastermind and the secret of reproduction exclusively for the mind flayer family. Under normal circumstances, even if their territory is captured, the brain pool will not take the initiative to provoke trouble, and even lie flat In order to deliberately allow the invaders to destroy the brain pool.

It is definitely an extremely rare special case for William to be actively interfered with by the mind flayer's brain pool.

So Sophilia was very curious, what kind of outrageous things did William do to provoke the Mind Flayer Brain Pool to take the initiative to attack him.

William felt a little innocent, and he didn't do anything, didn't he just release a [Soul Storm], why did he make the other party anxious? !

In fact, at this time, William already understood why the mind flayer's brain pool suddenly went mad at him uncharacteristically. After all, the gift of knowledge from the aboleth in William's mind was not entirely a decoration, and there were still some reliable things in it.

The reason for this still starts with the reproduction method of mind flayers.

Mainstream scholars of Faerûn and even the outer planes have long considered mind flayers to be hermaphroditic, parthenogenetic creatures.But what William described in the hidden knowledge obtained from the aboleth's memory bank was not the case.

After seemingly reliable research, ordinary scholars believe that each individual mind flayer can lay eggs twice in a lifetime, and each time it will produce a sticky egg sac, which contains thousands of eggs, all of which are made with the aid of a mind flayer. The viscous secretions of the inner demon stick together.These egg sacs are placed inside the brain pool. After hatching for a certain period of time, countless mind flayer tadpoles emerge from the eggs and fall into the brain pool to live. After a long period of growth and development, they finally transform into capable A mind flayer tadpole that possesses the body of an intelligent creature.

Mature mind flayer tadpoles undergo a metamorphosis by implanting a fully developed tadpole in the ear of a helpless humanoid with the help of an adult mind flayer.

A mind flayer tadpole will burrow into a victim's brain, quickly eating its gray matter and replacing it with its own filthy tissue.Under its influence, the tadpole will fuse with the uneaten lower brainstem of the victim, obliterating all remaining personality and soul. When these things have completely disappeared from the body, the mind flayer tadpole will use it as its own body .

In fact, William knew from the memory of the bottom demon fish that all the above-mentioned studies were actually wrong, or they were just an appearance that the mind flayer wanted people to see.

The real subjects of mind flayers are not actually their octopus-head individuals, but their master brains hidden in their brain pools.The mind flayer's master brain is actually a multi-dimensional consciousness. They are hidden in the World Wide Web formed by countless brain pools. All mind flayer tadpoles and adult mind flayers are actually just their external plug-ins.

Mind flayer tadpoles provide positioning and linking functions, while octopus-head individuals are like prosthetics commanded by remote control, but this remote command is an instant immersive control, just like our fantasy of manipulating game characters to play virtual senses The game is the same.

The multi-dimensional consciousness body in the mind flayer master's brain has multi-threaded immersive operation capabilities, and it is almost flawless.It can be said that any individual mind flayer that hatches from a brain pool is an external control of the master brain in that brain pool.

As long as any one of these controls still exists, even if the master brain in the brain pool is destroyed, the multidimensional consciousness body in it can be temporarily transferred to the individual mind flayer as the control. Of course, in this case, the consciousness of the mind flayer The ability of the body will be limited to a certain extent, but the ability of the mind flayer individual (control) as the load will be greatly enhanced.

When the opportunity is right, the mind flayer carrying the multi-dimensional consciousness body will find a safe and secret place, rebuild and generate a new brain pool and master brain.

Therefore, if you want to kill a real mind flayer's multi-dimensional consciousness, you must first kill all the intelligent creatures (that conform to the mind flayer's transformation control) on the planet where the mind flayer's brain pool is located. To operate is to destroy the planet.

Of course, the mind flayers in this situation will not sit still, they will take the specially built spirit devouring spaceship and run ahead of time to find a way out to the world of new intelligent creatures.

In the period before reaching the world of new intelligent creatures, the interdimensional consciousness of mind flayers is undoubtedly the most vulnerable, because their pendants are almost always placed in the open.

At this time, the mind flayer tadpole possessed by intelligent creatures (not yet metamorphosed) will suppress his metamorphosis period, ranging from one day to several decades, and will not proceed to the next step until he is sure that he has regained a stable environment .

The problem now is that William happens to be on a spirit devouring spaceship of the mind flayer that is fleeing, and his [Soul Storm], a large-scale indiscriminate attack, directly destroys the brain pool of the mind flayer in front of him. All the pendants (tadpoles and metamorphoses) were wiped out.

What kind of hatred and resentment is this?You, an ignorant and vicious upright ape beetle, actually want to break my foundation, and let the devil live? !This is the greatest resentment of the multi-dimensional consciousness hidden in the mind flayer's brain pool at this moment.

He urgently needs to quickly deal with the two unstable factors in the nest, and then quickly find a place to re-produce and load the pendant.

However, neither William nor Dasofelia are easy to mess with. As soon as William woke up, he immediately saw through the essence of the brain pool, because he had the correct answer in his hand.

But Sophilia knew how to engrave the correct answer into the answer sheet. She shouted excitedly: "William! Throw the Wheel of Order into the brain pool, and then use your knife to smash it!"

William looked down, only to find that the crystal phoenix reappeared in his left hand, which was originally empty, but a small piece of jade-white scale appeared on the abdomen of the phoenix.
