When Alvis, who was handling official business in the Emerald Valley, was called out by Dina who was passing by and told the news about the Mind Flayer, Alvis finally realized it.
It turns out that all this was caused by the Mind Flayer!
No wonder the situation in the Golden Duchy has become so chaotic, and the envoys he sent did not tell the truth.
Not only did he fabricate the story, but he also successfully discouraged him from ever thinking of taking charge of the Golden Duchy again.
Now it seems that the messenger may have been controlled by the mind flayer a long time ago.
Alvis's eyes became serious and he decided to investigate it himself.
He used the power of his mind to explore the inner world of the people around him.
At first, he didn't notice anything unusual. These people looked normal, just ordinary human beings.
However, as he continued to increase the output of his mental power, the situation gradually changed.
When he pushed his mental power to the limit, beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.
At this time, he finally realized that something was wrong.
Some people's thinking seems to be affected by some force, becoming somewhat fuzzy and distorted.
However, they still use human consciousness as their main body. According to Kroeber, these people should be the seeds planted by the Mind Flayer but not hatched.
The thoughts of others were completely blocked, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking his detection.
This kind of person should have been completely transformed and become a member of the mind flayer group.
He took back his mental power. This time he had overused it, so much so that his soul felt a little tired.
"Damn it! Damn it! My Jade Valley has been infiltrated by the Mind Flayer to such an extent!"
Alves' heart sank, realizing that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.
These mind flayers were able to hide so deeply that even a strong man like him could hardly detect them.
He knew that he had to take action quickly, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
This incident successfully reminded Alvis.
As a high-ranking dragon knight who controls the power of the mind, he is very confident and dependent on this unique ability he possesses.
He once believed that as long as he used the power of his mind, he could see through all the truth and understand everyone's thoughts.
However, this incident made him deeply realize that there are always people better than you.
He is indeed a good user of telekinesis, but compared to the mind flayer, his telekinesis is much weaker.
If Krober hadn't reminded him, he would probably still be in the dark.
When the messenger reported the situation to him again, he used the power of his mind to probe into the messenger's inner thoughts.
Only through the other person's heart did Alvis truly confirm that he was telling the truth.
The messenger was filled with awe when facing Alvis, an emotion that could not be disguised.
Therefore, Alvis believed his words and thought that everything he said about the Golden Duchy was true.
It was precisely because of this that he allowed this so-called mind flayer to develop its power right under his nose.
"Krober is currently searching for the location of the space-time rift within the Golden Duchy. Results are expected soon. Your Majesty, please, please, eliminate all the mind flayers within the Emerald Kingdom."
Dina naturally knew about Krober's actions through the mental contract, so she revealed her plan.
Alvis nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll lead my men to clean up the mind flayers in the Emerald Kingdom. Once I get news from Krober, I'll personally lead them there to provide support."
Halfway through his speech, Alves paused and changed his way of communicating.
"Is Krober planning to invade that other world? As much as I hate to admit it, the level of spiritual power in that world is indeed much stronger than what I possess. If possible..."
Although Alvis didn't finish his words, Dina knew that Alvis was planning to take advantage of the mental power controlled by the Mind Flayer.
To be precise, it is the power wielded by the Mind Flayer mother body.
"Krober said that after he finds the location of the space-time rift, he will seal it off first. After the war with the Winged People is over, he will invite the rulers of the other major kingdoms to invade together."
"According to him, the world on the other side of the space-time rift is extremely powerful. We might not be able to defeat it with our own strength alone. Gathering allies is the best option."
Alvis did not ask where Krober got the information. After all, he was the first person to discover the traces of the Mind Flayer, so it was normal for him to know more.
Moreover, Alvis was not unaware of Krober's ability to "suck souls", and subconsciously thought that Krober knew this information by relying on this ability.
His mental power is not as good as his opponent's, but Alvis still has mental strength.
According to Kroeber, psychic powers can easily detect humans who have been transformed into mind flayers.
If it were any other country, the rulers would subconsciously use their mental power, but he, Alvis, is a mind controller and usually uses mental power.
He would only use extra mental power if he needed to investigate something.
These mind flayers are very smart. There is no trace of them in the castle and palace where he lives, but the nobles and knights outside the city have already been corrupted by him.
Not only that, the Mind Flayer also extended its claws to other areas of the Emerald Kingdom by taking advantage of important trade routes.
It would be fine if it was just his Emerald Kingdom, but he was afraid that the Mind Flayer had already appeared in other countries.
The Blazing Steel Kingdom and the Azure Tide Kingdom, both countries have close relations with him, and there are many land trade routes and sea caravans on them.
However, Krober also told him that the news about the Mind Flayer had already been reported to Azure and Baelon, so there shouldn't be any surprises.
After analyzing the situation, Alvis called out the Emerald Dragon and prepared to start cleaning out the Mind Flayer hiding among the crowd.
He handled things the same way as Kroeber did. No matter whether you were exposed or not, he would just breathe out a dragon's breath and the world would be peaceful.
At the beginning, he did catch the Mind Flayer off guard.
But the other party has a collective consciousness after all. After some individuals die, the main brain directly judges the current situation and takes action.
Now that it has been exposed, he will try every possible way to plant the seeds in the bodies of other humans, so that Alvis can only kill all his people who have not yet undergone the transformation.
For a moment, the entire Emerald Valley fell into chaos.
The streets, houses, and alleys were filled with the sounds of mind flayers attacking humans.
