Chapter 468: Intelligence in Hand
The Githyanki did not recognize Amberthau in human form, nor did they recognize Ariel and Arthur, but they all felt something was wrong. The three people in front of them had completely different temperaments, even contradictory. Could they be a team?
But they were really powerful, and the elite team he brought with him had no ability to fight back at all.
Although the Githyanki are cruel and violent, they don't want to die in vain. Since these three are willing to communicate, they can delay for a while until other compatriots arrive.
The leading Githyanki said to Umberthau, "Who are you anyway?"
Amber Xiu said calmly: "Before asking others about their identities, you should first report your name. This is the etiquette of the Prime Material Plane."
"I am the team leader of the Eighth Group of the Seventh Column of the Star Expeditionary Force. My name is Genalel. Now it's your turn."
Amberxiu didn't really remember the tongue-twisting name, nor would he reveal his true identity. He was a lich who had slaughtered thousands of Githyanki people, so Amberxiu replied, "I'm just a necromancer passing by. You can call me Kel'Thuzad."
Ariel glanced at Amber. Was it so natural for this lich to use a fake name? I don't know how many times he has practiced it and how many people he has fooled.
Wait, could the name Ultraman Tiga also be fake? While Ariel was thinking about these questions, Amber had already finished chatting with the Githyanki team leader and roughly knew the situation of the Githyanki.
There were only two thousand seven hundred Githyanki who were able to make it here alive, and hundreds of them died while passing through the underwater maze. When they arrived at the first altar, their number was less than two thousand.
Just as Amberxiu thought, they chose the Trial of Destruction for the first time, and then suffered heavy casualties in front of the three giant puppets. A total of three hundred Githyanki were killed, and their flesh and blood were sucked into the giant puppets.
At other times, the Githyanki could have given it a try, but now they are almost in their desperate situation and dare not fight head-on, so they can only return along the same route.
It was originally impossible. There was no turning back in the Storm Arena. Anyone who was afraid of the challenge would be killed by the guards guarding the arena.
But this place had been abandoned for many years, so there was no hindrance for them to retreat.
Then they chose another path, this path called Trial of Fury was surprisingly simple. Because when they reached the location of the first platform, they only felt a weak spiritual force affecting their minds, making the Githyanki more prone to anger.
But that doesn’t matter. The Githyanki are already irritable and easily angered, so they are not affected by this at all.
If the arena was still intact, challengers who entered this platform would have felt an uncontrollable rage and would have started to kill each other until a winner was decided and they could move on to the next area.
Time is the most cruel thing. Most of the facilities in this arena have been worn out, so the effect of this Trial of Fury is almost non-existent.
The Githyanki can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
What made them even happier was that the arena was built on the sea, with each platform surrounded by the ocean. Where all kinds of ferocious sea beasts were supposed to be kept, now only skeletons remained, and there were also many schools of fish living in it.
There is a place to rest and food to eat, so they can at least take a breath.
It has to be said that the Githyanki are really adaptable.
Relying on a few mages among the survivors, they built their own "nest" on the platform, and the remaining more than a thousand people barely squeezed in to live, and occasionally sent some people to explore other areas of the arena.
Then they would find that, except for the unbeatable enemies on the road of the Destruction Trial, the rest of the area was deserted. Excluding those areas that were unsuitable for survival and always had wind and hail, this arena was almost as big as the island where they lived before.
The three giant puppets seemed to never leave the thundering area, so the Githyanki lived here peacefully. It didn't take long, but it finally allowed them to recover some of their strength.
Nests were built, and Githyanki eggs were placed in acid pools to hatch.
That's right, the Githyanki are oviparous. They have very special incubation methods that allow them to produce a large number of offspring in a short period of time.
In just a short period of time, the number of Githyanki, which was originally less than two thousand, recovered to three thousand.
But this is already the limit. If there are more, the arena will not be able to sustain itself.
Just now, the Githyanki discovered that the long-lasting thunder had dissipated, so they sent people to check around. This team was unlucky and was the first to encounter Ambershu.
Naturally, this information was not said by the other party himself, but facing the prophecy wizard Ambershu, the Gisyanki team leader could not hide too much.
After understanding the situation of the Gisyanki, Amber thought for a moment and said, "Take me to see your leader. I want to ask him for some information. In exchange, I can..."
Before Amberxiu could finish his words, another group of Githyanki came to him.
This time, Amberxiu knew that it was the leader of the Githyanki who came without anyone introducing him.
A wizard who does not hide his magical powers, a wizard of legendary level.
The Githyanki have more tactics, but if they really want to lead their people to survive in such a complex environment, the mages with the most tricks will have the advantage.
The Githyanki wizard raised his staff high, with a huge amount of magic power concentrated on it, and said to Amberth in a threatening manner: "Let my people go, or I will let you taste the meteor explosion!"
The Nine-Ring Spell - Meteor Explosion, sounds quite intimidating, but it is too stupid to cast this spell in front of a prophecy wizard.
Amber Xiu just raised his finger and shot out a red light. The legendary wizard immediately turned pale and the magic power on his staff became chaotic.
"Counterspell?!"
The Githyanki felt incredible.
Spell Counter could indeed interrupt most spells, but he was a Legend? Mages who had reached this level had already reached an extremely high level of understanding of magic, and also had control over their magic power. Under normal circumstances, a Legendary mage's spellcasting could not be interrupted, so Spell Counter was almost impossible to be effective.
Could it be that my luck was so bad that I just happened to encounter a tiny chance? Amber Xiu made his move, and Ariel and Arthur did not stand still.
The three legends displayed their power without reservation, causing the Githyanki present to feel tremendous pressure.
Especially Ariel. The terrifying electric light wrapped around her was like the thunder at the beginning, reminding the Githyanki people of the three powerful giant puppets.
"Calm down, everyone. I, Kel'Thuzad, and my companions did not come here to fight with you. I only want to get some information, and I will leave after I get it."
Amber's words calmed the Githyanki leader down. The Githyanki were still too weak to fight another bloody battle. It would be best to negotiate.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Master Kel'Thuzad, what information do you want to know?"
Amber said bluntly: "Regarding the mind flayers, I am looking for the traces of these creatures and plan to capture a few for experiments. I know that you Githyanki once had a grudge against the mind flayers. You have been hunting down the mind flayers in many planes. You should have a special way to locate these monsters, right?"
At the name of the mind flayer, all of the Githyanki have looks of hatred on their faces.
Those days of enslavement were a hatred that the Githyanki would never be able to erase, and it can only be eliminated by exterminating all the mind flayers.
"We do have a way to track down those vile brain-eating bastards, but what can you offer in exchange?"
The Githyanki leader was ready to bargain, hoping to get some benefits from Amber, but Amber said calmly: "How about exchanging your lives? My friend, can you really not see the situation clearly? Stay calm and restrained, and try not to use violence. This is the greatest kindness I can show you."
If it were before, Amberxiu wouldn't mind sending them some food or something in exchange for information, but these Githyanki took action first. They are the typical kind of people who only care about power but not morality, and they cannot be treated well.
Ambershu's threat made all the Githyanki show angry expressions, and Ambershu did not show any courtesy to them. He waved his hand and moved the giant puppet out of the private space.
Although it was just an immobile "corpse", its huge four-meter-tall body was still very threatening.
"You should know how powerful these puppets are, right? And now, they have become my spoils of war. Are you sure you want to force me to use violence?"
Eventually, the Githyanki relented.
They were impressed by the three giant golems. Since Amber was able to kill them all and seemed unharmed, it meant that he had the power to massacre the entire Githyanki race.
The Githyanki are cruel and quick to anger, but they are not fools.
When the situation is stronger than you, you have to bow your head, just like when you knelt in front of the Mind Flayer.
However, these Githyanki are also very vengeful. If they are given the opportunity, they will definitely retaliate against Amber without hesitation.
The Githyanki leader threw something that looked like a disk to Umberthau and said, "Here, it records everything about the mind flayers."
This disc made of special material is a special recording tool for the Githyanki. A small piece can record a large amount of text content.
Amberxiu originally thought that this Githyanki would play some tricks, but his intuition told him that this man was not lying.
After taking the disc, Amberxiu swept his senses upwards, and the disc opened layer by layer and began to rotate automatically.
The intelligence about the Mind Flayer that he had been searching for for a long time appeared in the form of a projection above the disc.
After looking for a while, Amber finally found what he wanted.
Where the mind flayer lives, telepathic communication must occur frequently. This disc contains a magical item that can detect this kind of telepathic behavior from a long distance, so that the location of the mind flayer can be locked.
Amber said proudly: "Fortunately, I am still an alchemist."
