Krober set out from the Jade Valley and rushed to the Saint Gold Castle at a very fast speed.
Fortunately, the Golden Duchy was built on the southern wasteland of the original Emerald Kingdom, so the distance is not too far.
As soon as he arrived in the Golden Duchy, he keenly sensed a strong, sticky smell.
He had never felt this smell among the races in this world.
Recalling his casual chat with Alvis, Krober was certain that some accident must have occurred within the Golden Duchy.
Sure enough, when he arrived above Castle Saint-Golden, many knights and soldiers in the castle were fighting a monster with an octopus face.
"Cthulhu? Illithid? Or Mind Flayer?"
Krober originally wanted to catch a monster to study, but his attention was attracted by the sudden burst of ice-attribute fighting spirit in the castle.
Krober was very familiar with that fighting spirit. It was the unique frost fighting spirit of the Frostwolf Marquis.
Seeing that the other party was about to fall into danger, Krober made a quick decision and asked Shen Zi to go to the rescue first, while he picked up a monster and followed behind.
And then, what happened was what Marquis Frostwolf had just seen.
"What low-level race? How dare you act so presumptuously in my territory!"
This voice was like a pair of powerful hands, pulling the Frostwolf Marquis back from the brink of death.
He looked at the floor where the two mind flayers had just stood with lingering fear, cold sweat pouring down his body. Only after he looked up and saw that it was Lord Krober did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The Frostwolf Marquis had not yet completely calmed down, so his voice was still trembling when he greeted Krober.
Krober didn't care, but threw the "monster" to the ground, suppressing it with his powerful mental strength and magic power, making it unable to move.
"Do you know what this is? Did they tell you about their species?"
Seeing the Mind Flayer thrown to the ground by Krober, the Frostwolf Marquis subconsciously avoided in the opposite direction. He was indeed a little afraid of this strange creature.
"Look at you! How could you be frightened by such a monster? You're the Prime Minister!"
"Tell me! What race is he? An illithid or a mind flayer?"
"Your Majesty, they...they claim to be mind flayers."
The Frostwolf Marquis was frightened back to his senses by Krober's angry roar and hurried to report.
"Mind Flayer..."
After all, Krober came from a previous life and knew some things.
In his previous life, illithids and mind flayers were often confused and thought to be the same race.
But in fact, there are still some differences between them.
Among them, the mind flayers mainly live in the Underdark, feed on the brains of intelligent creatures, are hermaphroditic, brutal by nature, and can reproduce through themselves.
(The regular DND setting has been slightly changed, mainly because there will be a DND world plot in the future, so I changed it.)
The mind flayer is more like an advanced version of the mind flayer.
They possess a highly advanced form of civilization and are a scourge to intelligent life on countless worlds.
They are psionic tyrants, slavers, and interdimensional voyagers, insidious masters of savaging entire races for their own twisted purposes.
For countless years, the illithids controlled vast empires spanning many worlds.
They conquer and twist entire races of humanoid slaves into submission, including the Githyanki and Githzerai, as well as grimlocks and kuo-toa.
(The setting of Baldur's Gate 3 has not changed at all.)
To put it more simply, the mind flayers are mainly individuals, living in tribes or families.
The mind flayers are different, they have hive consciousness and mother consciousness.
Moreover, they are unable to reproduce themselves. Their main method of reproduction is to select some outstanding individuals from their "slaves" and plant "seeds" in their minds.
Once the seeds take root and sprout, they can be successfully transformed into mind flayers and become part of the collective consciousness.
In terms of combat power, the mind flayer is much more difficult to deal with than the mind flayer.
Especially the social structure of the mind flayers themselves. If one sub-body knows it, almost all other sub-bodies will know it.
Their ability to transmit information through the matrix is indeed a bit buggy.
Now that he knew it was the Mind Flayer, he could understand the Frostwolf Marquis's current state.
It was nothing more than a mind shock.
The function of mental shock is to shock the enemy's heart. If the opponent's mental level is weak, then it can forcibly cause fear in the opponent's heart.
If it is stronger, there will be no abnormality.
"Alright, hurry up and come with me to clean up the mess. The world consciousness must have called me here for a reason. The space-time rift is definitely within the territory of the Golden Duchy. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
"Sir, I don't have any ideas. I haven't received any news about the discovery of a space-time rift during this period."
Marquis Frostwolf touched his head. The words "space-time rift" were quite unfamiliar to him. He had not heard similar news in a while.
"Oh, forget it. This is the way the Mind Flayer race is. It's disgusting."
"Let's stabilize the situation in Saint Gold Castle first, and then we can talk about the rest!"
"yes!"
The two left the room, and with the help of Krober's powerful fighting ability, they quickly eliminated all the rebellious mind flayers.
After stabilizing the situation in Saint Gold Castle, Krober gathered all the survivors in one place and used his mental power to scan their brains in detail to see if there were any seeds of the Mind Flayer left.
After screening out about thirty unlucky people who had been infected with the seeds, and confirming that the rest were normal, he spoke:
"Warriors and citizens of the Golden Duchy! I, Krober Amethyst Ocean Flow, can responsibly inform you that the current rebellions within our country are not caused by internal strife within our nation, but are manipulated by enemies from another world."
"Now, can anyone tell me if you've noticed anything strange during this time? If you can tell me, I'll give you a huge reward!"
Krober took out a bag of gold coins from his space ring and threw them into the air. The gold coins emitted bright light under the sunlight, attracting the attention of the group of people below.
"My Lord, I! I know!"
A knight lying on the ground pondered and finally thought of something strange.
"explain!"
Krober used his mental power to roll up dozens of gold coins from the ground and placed them in front of the knight.
“Yes! Yes!”
The knight was overjoyed. With his strength, these dozens of gold coins were enough for him to live a luxurious life for a whole year.
