Chapter 494: The Infiltration Plan of the Mind Flayer

Henry immediately responded to Uncle Kaidong's request. When he picked up the leather case, he suddenly discovered that at least six different characters were used on it, and it was impossible for most people to understand it. But that's okay, there's still magic. He immediately cast a "reading magic", translated the text on the leather, and read it aloud to no one.

"The base has been established, and the infiltration work continues. The lurkers have gathered believers, and we will be able to control the hearts of the entire group soon..."

"It's unbelievable! These guys want to infiltrate and control the whole of Amn. There is a list below, I think it's better not to read it." Henry said and handed the animal skin to Kaidong. He doesn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, no matter what the result is, it will undoubtedly offend a lot of people.

Kaidong nodded slightly, and carefully placed the parchment next to his body. "Yes, this matter must be handled with care. I will report this matter to the head of the group now. I have to say that you have helped me a lot once again."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do. Now I can finally start to identify these treasures." Henry ignored the uncle paladin who left in a hurry, and concentrated on identifying a few magic items.

—————————————————

Magic Staff:

Only a gambler would dare to use this staff in battle. When activated, it's completely unpredictable and even suicidal. The mage Malimaker created it as a gift to his enemies, but mainly to punish them. The recipient's reaction is unknown. Be careful when using it. Or simply don't use it at all.

The following effects will randomly appear when using a staff:

There is a 12% chance to release fireballs, lightning, stinky clouds, and spiders. In addition, it will petrify the enemy, or increase the strength of the opponent by four points. The duration is twenty-four seconds. Of course, if you are lucky enough, you will speed yourself up for 24 seconds, and if you are unlucky enough, you will bless the enemy with six layers of stone skin.

All in all, it's an uncertain wand unless you feel lucky or cornered. Otherwise it's best not to use it.

Fifty rounds left

—————————————————

Lawbreaker:

It was a light weapon capable of a powerful blow, and lightning danced across the face of the blade. This is an unstable and powerful weapon to have in your arsenal. However, it looks like it has a mind of its own. It likes chaotic masters, and when brought into a city it makes a tapping sound, as if it doesn't like being there.

Combat ability:

Because it is particularly light, others swing the weapon once. you can swing twice

50% chance to deal extra Lightning damage each time it hits

Faction restrictions:

Can only be used by non-lawful alignments

———————————————————

Thunder Hammer:

A dwarven blacksmith named "Silver Blade" forged this hammer along with two other items; a "Girdle of Frost Giant Might" and "Gauntlets of Ogre Might Power". His original intention was to give them to his son as a gift. At the time his son was a high-ranking officer in the dwarven army fighting against the giant and ogre hordes in the region. Unfortunately, Silver Sharp's son was killed shortly after the three items were completed and before they could be delivered to him. In grief, Yinfeng put on the girdle and gloves by himself, raised the thunder hammer, fought with the giants, and died heroically.

The Thunder Hammer itself is a powerful magical weapon, but when combined with the Ogre's Gloves of Monster Power and the Belt of Frost Giant's Power. The hammer will change. This transformation requires the assistance of magic. The Thunderhammer can then deal huge extra damage and instantly kill any Giant or Ogre it hits.

———————————————————

The last remaining hoop. Even without identifying Henry, he knew what it was for. Mind flayers call this kind of thing a cranial ruler. As the name suggests, it is a ruler used to measure the size of the brain. It was used to measure the size of slave heads so that these vile creatures could pick the brightest and most nutritious brains to eat.

In addition, some people have suspected that the bars displayed on this ruler also include whether a person has psychic potential. However, since most people don't have psychic abilities, they can't understand the meaning of the above at all, and can only stay on guesswork. But it is undeniable that this ruler can indeed measure whether a person is smart or not.

As for the three magic items above, the artifact staff is purely a collectible, and it is useless at all except for selling money. I believe that any rational spellcaster would not easily use this kind of uncertain thing, because it would simply be a joke with his own life.

The Lawbreaker is a good battle axe, and if it is delivered to Korgan, it will definitely become a sharp weapon for killing. But the evil dwarf warrior is not here now, so it can only be temporarily sealed. The last piece of Thunder Hammer is useless right now, and it can only exert its real power after it is completely merged.

It can be said that this operation was a great success, not only gained a large amount of experience points, but also got a new research topic, psychic powers. Of course, Henry also paid a considerable price. He would have to stay for at least two or three days to recover his ability to walk. However, he has already made plans for these few days, and he is going to stay in Amn's mage tower for a few days, and teach the apprentices there by the way.

Since Amelia brought back this year's apprentices, these young families have been in a state of herding sheep. Except for the necessary public classes every day, they are all learning and exploring by themselves at other times. Obviously, no real mage can be cultivated in this way.

Henry decided to use these few days to train the apprentices and let them know what you mean by a demon mentor. Just when he was thinking about how to change the way to toss the apprentices, Kaidong and Grand Master Witherland came back together. Behind them were representatives from the major temples, as well as several senior officers of Amn. in it.

It can be seen from the attitude of the senior pastors. This Lathander paladin has a high status in the church. But his current condition is not very good, not only the armor on his body is tattered, but also his face is extremely pale. It looked like he had lost too much blood in the battle just now.

I have to say that this guy's life is really hard enough, and he was able to survive such a fierce battle. You must know that Henry arranged him in the front row of the Death Squad for the sake of public benefit. In theory, there is no possibility of surviving, but not only did he survive successfully, but it also seems that his professional level has been greatly improved.

The head of the regiment, Witheran, approached and asked without saying a word: "Your Excellency, Dragon Rider. Can you confirm the authenticity of this list?"

"Yes, this was found inside the base. It is basically impossible to have a fake. Of course. It cannot be ruled out that some people above are forcibly controlled by mind flayers. Maybe they will return to normal after they die." Henry deliberately put The words are ambiguous. He knew that several nobles and members of parliament were involved in the list, and a political storm might be set off.

Hearing this answer, the representative of the Temple of Helm frowned and asked: "That is to say. We have no way of telling who is taking the initiative to seek refuge. Who is being forced to control?"

Henry deliberately pretended to be helpless and nodded: "That's right, but magic should be able to detect who has traces of psychic powers. It's hard to say whether they are controlled or not. But I suggest you use the "Detection" Lies" are interrogated one by one, so that it is clear who is innocent and who is taking the initiative to seek refuge with evil creatures. Finally, I must remind that there is still a mind flayer called a lurker in this city."

"Damn it! I almost forgot the most important point. Thank you very much for your answer, we now know what to do." After bowing, the Grand Leader Witheran hurried away with a group of people up. Look at the expressions on their faces like they are facing a big enemy. There is no doubt that he intends to return to the city immediately for a large-scale thorough investigation.

After simply burning the corpses, the coalition forces began their mighty return journey. There were 1,500 people when they came. When I went back, not only was there no shortage, but it also increased by several hundred. They are all slaves controlled by mind flayers, including adventurers, citizens, farmers, and some slaves smuggled from other places.

Since the sewers have been cleaned up along the way, there are no monsters encountered along the way, and they returned to the ground very smoothly. Many rescued people burst into tears when they saw the sun again, knelt on the ground and wept loudly, not knowing whether they were grieving for those who died or crying for their own tragic experience.

But this has nothing to do with Henry. I believe that the Council and the Knights will properly accommodate these people. Just when he was about to leave, Kaidong applied for leaving the team and returned the Holy Avenger and Agility Gloves.

"It's been a real joy to be on an adventure with you, but there's always a time to separate because home calls me back."

"Go, that's the best home for a hero. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to us at any time." Said Henry gave the uncle a hug, and then threw two pieces of magic equipment into the dimension bag . He knew very well that Kaidong would stage a crisis in his later years after he returned, but he believed that this charming old man would be able to handle it well.

"Goodbye, my teacher, thank you for your teaching along the way." Saili Love said with a deep bow. For her, Kaidong is like a father and an elder worthy of respect.

After hugging everyone one by one, Kaidong smiled and waved his hands: "Goodbye, if you are free, you can come to my house for a sit-down, it is at the southern end of the administrative area, just find someone to inquire about the Falcon House can be found."

After watching the newly bought paladin leave, Henry took the rest of the people back to the Eratan mansion. He didn't even take a shower as soon as he entered the door. He directly left his teammates and returned to the room to start researching the "portable brain aid", intending to confirm what was stored in it overnight.
