After saying that, Wang used a dimensional bag to collect the corpse and its equipment.

Flint, who had already walked to the front, turned back and reported: “There is a door ahead! It should be the cultivation room!”

Chapter 295: First meeting with “that gentleman”

After opening the door of the culture room, everyone frowned, and Furu, who was not a human, also changed color.

It was impossible to see what was locked inside the room. All I could see was white silk and yellow fluff.

Elizabeth was the first to express her opinion: “Is this… the lair of spider monsters or mushroom people?”

Wang: “Mushroom man? You mean the mushroom man? No, no, the mushroom man’s room doesn’t have so many… so many mycelium.”

Xiaobai: “It feels like when it rains here, a lot of big matsutake mushrooms will grow!”

Why are you suddenly so interested in matsutake?

The dwarf took out a can of enamel and said, “Forget it. Don’t worry about what’s inside. Given the situation here, if we put the enamel at the door, it will explode and the whole room will be on fire in an instant.”

Wang reached out and grabbed a handful of silk thread, brought it close to his eyes and examined it carefully, then sniffed it, and then he asserted, “It’s not burning, it’s exploding. This silk thread doesn’t have much moisture, it’s flammable, it’s so dense, and it’s fully integrated with the air, this thing will explode.”

Flint: “That’s great. It makes a lot of noise.”

Wang: “But we can’t use the fuse in this situation. If the fuse touches the silk, it will explode immediately.”

Flint: “That’s not that difficult, barbarian. It’s your turn. Create a space without silk threads!”

The barbarian immediately rushed into the room, wielding his axe to scramble all the threads. Soon a small space appeared.

The dwarf placed the can of molten fire in the center of the space, plugged in the fuse, and then began to rummage through the dimensional bag for flint – the dwarf’s dimensional bag was just an ordinary version, not as smart as the king’s infinite dimensional bag.

The king pulled Elizabeth out of the room.

Elizabeth was very surprised: “Why did you withdraw?”

Wang: “If it explodes, they might be fine if they are strong, but we are so delicate and fragile, so we better stay away from them.”

When Franca heard this, she also came out: “I am also delicate and tender.”

Xiao Bai protested: “I was also thin-skinned and thin-skinned when I didn’t transform.”

The dwarf finally took out the flint, struck it twice to light the tinder, and then used the tinder to light the fuse: “Okay, let’s go, the fuse can burn for twenty minutes, we use this time to get away from here.”

At this time, Marika in front also came back: “Where to go next?”

Wang: “According to the map that Franca got, the ‘sir’ who controls the gray dwarves has a study. Let’s go see if there are any documents, books, or the diary of the sir.”

Franka nodded: “Okay, I’ll open the way.”

With that, the drow turned around and quickly disappeared into the shadows of the corridor.

The dwarf picked up the flail and shield and said, “I’ll lead the way, but can you lend me the map? I forgot how to get to this study.”

The king took out the map and handed it to the dwarf.

“Yeah, so it’s here. Let’s go.”

**

On the way to the study, the team encountered several more patrolling enemies – the corpse of.

Marika dealt with these enemies very quickly without raising any alarm.

After Wang used the space bag to collect the bodies of the third wave of enemies, Elizabeth said, “The enemy didn’t notice the missing guards for so long. Is this place completely unchecked?”

Wang: “It’s possible that the person who was checking the post was killed by us. Remember the chief of the Black Stone Tribe?”

“You mean, they are actually responsible for checking on the guards?”

Wang nodded. “Yes, that’s why they passed by that small door. Maybe they came to check whether the door was closed properly and whether the mechanism was working properly. And the whole way we walked was actually the route they took to check the post.”

“That makes sense.” Elizabeth nodded repeatedly. “Get rid of the people who check on you first, and you won’t be checked on by others.”

Wang: “But the enemy will still find out. Nini, how long will it take before the enemy changes shifts?”

Nini immediately replied: “Less than an hour and a half.”

At this time, Flint said: “Malika’s figure appeared in front of us, and she stopped in front of a door.”

Wang immediately looked down at the map: “Well, the study should be in front.”

Without waiting for Flint to reply, Nini suddenly said, “There are footsteps and conversations behind us.”

Wang made a prompt decision: “Speed ​​up and hide in the study.”

The group immediately quickened their pace.

When the dwarf quickened his pace, the sound of the armor immediately became several times louder. Marika, who was concentrating on checking whether there was any mechanism on the study door, turned around to take a look.

When the team arrived at the door, Marika had just finished her work and opened the door directly: “Come in!”

Xiaobai: “Don’t you want to know what happened?”

Marika: “You guys suddenly sped up. There’s only one possibility. Someone is coming from behind.”

As they were talking, everyone rushed into the study. Wang looked around the room and exclaimed, “This owner seems to have quite good taste.”

Elizabeth: “As if?”

Wang: “Because I don’t understand the value of art, I can only say it seems. The description must be accurate, which is a necessary quality for a qualified magician.”

Elizabeth groaned, and she carefully examined the portrait above the fireplace on the north side of the room and said, “What is the creature in this portrait?”

King: “Mind Flayer. Maybe it’s a portrait of ‘that Lord’.”

Elizabeth frowned. “That thing on his chin, is it a beard or… or what I think it is?”

“It’s the kind of thing you think of. It has its mouthparts hidden inside. When it eats, it grabs your head with its tentacles, then aims at the back of your head and sucks.”

Elizabeth hunched her shoulders and took a step back, hitting the king’s chest with her back. She jumped away as if she had been electrocuted: “Oh, I’m sorry!”

Wang: “It’s okay. You bumped my back with your chest quite a lot today. We’re friendly to each other.”

“Alas?”

Xiaobai: “How can this be considered even? You don’t have big boobs!”

Wang: “I have. Stronger than you, smaller than Gotrik.”

Xiaobai: “How can this be the same? Even if you have the same size, it’s still hard!”

Wang: “No, as long as the muscles are not tense, they are soft. If you don’t believe me, ask Gotrick.”

Gao Trick pretended not to hear and focused on reading the books on the bookshelf.

A barbarian, staring at the bookcase, the scene had a strange sense of incongruity.

Elizabeth changed the subject: “Let’s not talk about this disgusting creature. Aren’t you looking for the owner’s diary or something?”

Marika: “I think I found the journal, but I can’t understand it. I can only guess from various sources that it is a diary.”

As she spoke, she closed a hardcover book and threw it to Wang.

The king took the book and opened it, snapping his fingers: “This is the language of the mind flayers.”

Marika: “Don’t mind flayers usually speak Undercommon?”

Wang: “That was a change they made to adapt to this plane. They came here from the outer plane on a conch shell ship, and settled down after discovering that there were intelligent creatures here.

“They learned the underground common language, but they didn’t originally speak it. Their race generally communicated through telepathy. Their original language only had words. To be precise, it can’t be called a language, it’s just words.

“Because of this, this kind of writing cannot be read, because there is no pronunciation. Races that are used to matching words with pronunciations find it difficult to adapt to the writing of the Mind Flayers.”

Elizabeth: “But you’re okay, right?”

Wang: “Yes.”

Chapter 296: Blasphemer

The king responded to Elizabeth as he began to read the contents of the journal.

Since he remained silent, Xiao Bai couldn’t hold back and said, “If anyone of you pokes him, he might be killed by the magic in the book. I heard that there are magic traps placed on words. Once someone reads, they will be activated and hurt the reader.”

Wang: “No, I didn’t… Ouch, that’s sour! Hahahaha stop it!”

Elizabeth took her hand back. “I’m sorry. I reached out my hand as soon as I heard Xiaobai say that. I couldn’t stop myself. It turns out that part of your body is sensitive. Your reaction just now was so exaggerated.”

Wang: “Everyone would react like this when being touched here, okay?”

Xiaobai stood on tiptoe and touched the same part of Elizabeth unexpectedly. Elizabeth was just startled, but did not laugh out loud like Wang did.

Xiaobai: “Big Bobo is not smiling!”

Wang: “Because she must have worn whalebone today, so you poked the whalebone.”

“How do you know?” Xiaobai asked in surprise.

“You can tell by the shape!”

Elizabeth had an expression of “Oh, he actually understands me”, but the king’s next sentence was: “I have carefully observed the changes in Rosalie before and after she wore the whalebone.”

Elizabeth’s expression froze.

Marika cut in: “So what does the journal say?”

Wang: “It unexpectedly revealed a lot of important information. Maybe the Mind Flayer didn’t expect someone to sneak in and take a peek at this diary. This Mind Flayer is a Blasphemer.”

“A lone wolf?” Flint was shocked. “It’s not common for mind flayers to act alone in Gralia. They usually build colonies in groups of three or five, raise a considerable number of slaves, and then select powerful intelligent creatures and use the mind flayer tadpoles to transform them into new mind flayers.”

Wang: “No, no, it sounds like ‘a person acting alone’, but that’s not the meaning. This is my translation based on the words written in the diary. Someone who blasphemes tangible things, that’s probably what it means.”

Marika: “I have lived in the underground world for the first half of my life. As a professional counterintelligence force of the drow elves, I have never heard of this word.”

Wang: “That’s normal. According to this log, the Defilers have been in this world for less than a hundred years, and they act very low-key. It’s normal that the drow were busy fighting among themselves and didn’t notice.”

Marika was shocked. “I can’t refute you. Indeed, when I was in counterintelligence, I always focused on other drow elves. The collection of other intelligence was just a byproduct.”

Flint: “So this is the prelude to an alien invasion? The so-called world-destroying crisis means that the Blasphemers opened the portal and started the invasion?”

“No, it’s the coming of Ragnora.” The king quickly flipped through the log, as if he was looking for something, and soon he stopped, “Look here, ‘that master’ drank some wine on this day.”

“Mind flayers drink?” Elizabeth exclaimed, “Can they… drink too?”

Wang: “Of course. He drank some wine that day, and then began to speak his mind in the diary. The text was written very sloppily, but it introduced the goal of the Blasphemers. The Blasphemers were originally the survivors of the worlds destroyed by Ragnora.
