Chapter 457 The Beginning of a Great Achievement
The most frightening thing when doing things is not the difficulties, but the fear of having no direction.
As long as the direction is found, the rest is to work hard to solve the difficulties. Amber Xiu immediately sent his needs to the Kingdom of Unholy Hymns, hoping that they can pay attention to the movements of the Mind Flayer in the Chaos Space.
The Unholy Hymn now relies entirely on Amberxiu as a liaison to maintain contact with its homeland, so naturally they dare not neglect it and have expressed that they will do their best to assist and notify Amberxiu immediately when there is any news.
Just after the communication was completed, Amber received a private message from the dwarf vampire: [Brother, where are you? I have something to talk to you about. ]
Amber Xiu was a little confused. This guy just said he couldn't help, so why did he suddenly come over and try to get close to him?
[Ultraman Tiga: Why are you looking for me? ]
[Don't like humans: You said before that you would tie up the Kuo-Toa goddess and send her to Talos. Are you serious? ]
[Ultraman Tiga: Of course I'm serious, but what does this have to do with you? ]
[I don't like humans: I want to follow you, witness the whole process, and record all your actions. Whether it succeeds or fails, this is a great feat that can be recorded in history. I am a historian and I want to see it all with my own eyes! ]
Amber Xiu didn't expect this to be the reason, but it didn't matter, he could come if he wanted to.
[Ultraman Tiga: No food, no travel expenses, come whenever you want. ]
[I don't like humans: Do you chew your own bones every day, fearing that you will lose some rotten meat and suffer losses? Do you have the nerve to be so stingy as you are?! ]
[Ultraman Tiga: Come if you want. I am very considerate of you by not charging you any money. Otherwise, I would record it with my memory crystal and then ask someone else to write a book and sell it, which would make more money.]
After Amber Xiu said this, he quickly took out the memory crystal and kept it with him.
This dwarf vampire really reminded him, which is totally fine. I believe this record can be sold at a sky-high price!
At most, we can give this dwarf vampire a little discount during the auction, which will be considered fair to him.
Heki Stone arrived quickly and teleported directly to Ambersu's side, with the blood slave orc he had just taken in still following behind him.
I don't know how Heki Stone trained him, but this orc who once hated Ambershu so much has now become numb. He follows Heki Stone obediently, holding a lot of things for him like a servant.
Amber was too lazy to look at it any more, and just asked Hecky Stone: "Are you really going to follow me? Do you historians have to go through so much trouble?"
Heki Stone was wearing a robe that covered his body tightly. He flew half a head higher than Amberxiu. When he heard Amberxiu say that, he said condescendingly: "What do you know? Only what you see with your own eyes is history. Who knows how many of your words are true when I ask you later?"
Amber Xiu questioned: "Slander! As a historian, you recorded the protagonist of the story with such prejudice. Is what you wrote still history?"
"It doesn't matter. You're not the only one with a pseudonym! I also have a pen name that specializes in writing unofficial history! Have you read "The Goblin Guards in Ryan's Harem"? I wrote it. It has been the best-selling supplement of "Legendary Curse" for three consecutive years. If it hadn't been discontinued later, I would have won the championship for five consecutive years!"
Herky Stone said this with such pride that even Amber was shocked.
This book was actually written by this guy, which is really amazing. He also once worked day and night to catch up with the updates.
However, this dwarf vampire stuffed all his hatred towards Ryan into the book, and the Ryan royal family in the book is so green.
"No, you mean, you come here just to write my unofficial history?! That's not possible, unless you pay more!"
Amberxiu was quite angry. It would be fine if this dwarf vampire came to sing praises, but if he came to write unofficial history, he would have to pay a lot of money, at least half of the royalties after the book was published!
But Herky Stone said excitedly: "Add bullshit, when did I say I would write your unofficial history? What unofficial history can you write as a bone-chewing lich? Who would read it?! I can't even add anything!"
The two argued about the royalties for a long time until Isabel brought a large pot of boiled water to the guests.
This is the true essence of Amber Shu. Even if you are a vampire, he will still give you boiled water.
Hecky Stone took a sip and spit it directly into the cup. This stingy lich, there are so many beautiful girls in this castle, but he didn't even give him a sip of fresh blood.
However, for the sake of his great work, Herky Stone decided not to bother with the lich, but asked Amber Xiu: "How far has it progressed now?"
Idol An was too lazy to argue with Hecky Stone anymore. It seemed that this dwarf vampire had some discrimination against liches. He really didn't plan to write any additional content, so he just let him be.
"The poet reminded me that there might be mind flayers in Chaos Land, the garbage dump of the gods. I have asked the tieflings to help me find them, but I don't know how long it will take."
Under normal circumstances, Gary Wozniacki could perform the wish spell many times, so it shouldn't be difficult to find someone, but it depends on whether the tentacle monster in the Chaos Land is willing to pay for help. The wish spell requires the consumption of materials, how much can the Chaos Land give him?
"Of course, I'm not going to pin my only hope on the tieflings. Although you said that the mind flayers are extinct, what if there are still a few of them lurking? I heard that the lifespan of the mind flayers is quite long. No matter how harsh the living environment is, they can live for more than a hundred years, and they only need to eat a brain every month to survive. These needs are too simple, and it's not surprising that a small number of them survived."
When Heki Stone heard Amberxiu questioning his opinion, he did not get angry, but helped him think about it.
"What you said makes sense. The Githyanki were once slaves of the Mind Flayer Empire. Their rebellion led to the collapse of the Mind Flayer Empire in the Material Plane, but the two sides fought for a long time. It is possible that the Mind Flayers are not extinct, but it is too difficult to find such monsters. They have strong camouflage abilities and their reproduction methods are very insidious."
The way the mind flayers reproduce is to plant the mind flayer tadpoles into the bodies of intelligent beings. As the tadpoles grow, the brains of the intelligent beings will be eaten and replaced by the tadpoles. When the tadpoles are fully mature, the intelligent beings will be transformed into mind flayers.
No matter what their original race was, after the transformation they would become strange looking like an octopus head, and their bodies would be completely transformed into the mind flayer race, without retaining their original memories and appearance.
Perhaps in the eyes of the mind flayers, only their own race is perfect, and other races, even dragons, are just inferior creatures with huge flaws.
The incubation period of this Mind Flayer tadpole can be as long as ten years, and the Mind Flayer is good at mind control spells. It can easily manipulate a large number of ordinary people to cover for itself, making it very easy to hide.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I can try to predict it, but I don't think I'll get very good results."
Every mature prophet can sense something before making a prediction, which is actually a hint from the goddess of fate. If you know that something is wrong but force yourself to do a divination to make up for the uneasiness, the result will be a slap in the face by the goddess.
Therefore, Amber would rather find information slowly on his own than use such a tricky method to tell fortunes.
"I heard that you prophecy mages are very secretive. I really don't know what the use of this ability is."
Hecky Stone complained, then picked up the small notebook, rolled up the corner of his robe and used a feather pen to write on it: "Even though blasphemy has become a habit of Ultraman Tiga, the difficulties he encountered this time still made him frown deeply. He stared at the yellowed ancient scroll in front of him, tapping his forehead from time to time, as if he was having a fierce debate with the sea of knowledge deep in his heart..."
Amberxiu didn't know what he was writing, and was still thinking about how to find the trace of the Mind Flayer on the continent.
After thinking for a long time, Amber asked again: "Just now you seemed to say that the Githyanki overthrew the Mind Flayer Empire?"
Without even looking up, Herky Stone continued to write the next sentence carefully: "Even Master Tiga Ultraman has problems that he cannot solve. In the end, he can only close the book and ask for advice from his wisest, most knowledgeable mentor, the greatest historian, Herky Stone..."
After writing this sentence, Herky Stone raised his head and said to Amber, "What did you ask just now?"
“I was asking about the fall of the mind flayer empire, and you said they were overthrown by the Githyanki?”
Amber repeated it, and Heki Stone explained: "There are many theories about the fall of the mind flayer empire. The resistance of the Githyanki is just one of them. There is also the theory of internal struggle and division, and there is also the theory of a large-scale virus outbreak. But if you want to talk about the Githyanki, that's how they got their name. That Gith is the hero who liberated all the Githyanki, and this race is named after him. And the Githyanki do hunt down the mind flayers in countless planes, and they are the best mind flayer hunters."
Amber nodded. This was another clue.
Heki Stone continued to write furiously: "With the guidance of mentor Heki Stone, Ultraman Tiga was like finding a star that guided him in the dark night. Heki Stone's wisdom traveled through time and space and brought him a clue to solve the problem - the Gisyanki. This was the first answer that needed to be written down."
"Then I can talk to the Githyanki." Amber said to himself.
Compared to the mind flayers who have no clues, the Githyanki are easy to find. There are still several thousand of them alive, and there are not many places for them to survive. They can be found by just asking around.
While recording, Heki Stone said sarcastically: "You want to talk to the Githyanki? What are you going to talk about? You just slaughtered thousands of their compatriots. The Githyanki are the most vengeful. If you dare to show up, they will fight you to the death."
An Boxiu laughed and said, "There is no business that cannot be discussed."
“Alright then. Send me some Githyanki virgins later. Their blood tastes good.”
After saying this, Heki Stone wrote another sentence: "Heki Stone's kind advice was not recognized by Ultraman Tiga. The lich was still prepared to use the most cruel method to force the information he wanted. Heki Stone could only pretend to ask Ultraman Tiga for prisoners to save the lives of a few Gisyanki."
