Chapter 168: Sources of Intelligence
Chapter 168 Source of information
Ellik originally thought this would be a very easy journey. This human plane is indeed not a terrible world. Almost all the top strong men were assassinated by the dead soldiers sent by the Abyss Lord before the gate of the Abyss opened. Without these powerful beings who have mastered the forbidden power, with the strength of him and the Silver Horned Demon Snake, they can protect themselves here.
As he expected, since he left the Gate of the Abyss, he had never encountered an enemy that needed to be solved with the help of the Silver-horned Demon Snake. The only dragon clan that made him afraid was basically gone. With the strength of his own great swordsman, no one could stop him.
He came to the human world with a secret mission. Due to the limitation of his ability, the Abyss Gate can only teleport some monsters below intermediate level. High-level monsters of the level such as the Silver Horned Demon Snake will greatly increase the risk of teleportation. As for top-level monsters like the Abyss Lord, they can't teleport directly.
The main reason why the Silver-horned Demon Snake can teleport here now is that it hides in the dormant space and will not put pressure on the Abyss Gate. But not all monsters can hide in the dormant space.
In this way, the monsters teleported by the Abyss Gate are generally monsters below the intermediate level. Among these monsters, very few know how to fly.
The art of war developed by humans over thousands of years has achieved many achievements in defense. There are no high-level monsters. It is impossible to conquer the entire human world in a short time by relying on those low-level monsters who do not know how to fly.
In order to better understand the approximate strength of the top strong men in the human world and make plans for the next war, the master of the abyss sent out Ellik to collect the approximate strength of the strong men in the human world.
In fact, this kind of work should not be done by a black-eyed snake man like Ellik. He will directly send a higher monster with the same appearance as a human, and the effect will be better. Originally, they planned to collect intelligence through the Mercenary Guild. The information on the assassination of the great magicians such as Alex was bought from the Mercenary Guild.
However, after that assassination, the alertness of the Mercenary Guild has greatly improved and will no longer easily sell information about human power to unknown creatures. The Mercenary Guild is also composed of creatures in the human world, and its position has always been firmly on the side of human beings.
If they cannot buy the information they need, the master of the abyss can only make this worst move. The Black-eyed Snake Man is the only high-level monster that can pass through the Abyss Gate, although their titles of high-level monsters are more earned by the Silver-horned Snake.
Originally, this kind of intelligence-collecting operation should have been carried out in secret, but after coming to the human world, the generally weak creatures in the human world gradually made his arrogant heart swell up, and his actions became more and more presumptuous. In the end, he directly found the only existing Belkin Academy among the five major magic academys.
Four of the five major magic academies on the mainland were trapped in the hands of the Abyss Monsters. The students and mentors of those academies, who could escape, had escaped to the Bell Empire, which had not yet fallen. The Belkin Academy naturally became their preferred place to live. Therefore, the current Belkin Royal Magic Academy can be said to have gathered scholars from all the magic fields of the entire continent and is the only existing highest institution of learning in the entire continent. Its overall strength is even higher than that of Alex's heyday.
As long as you can understand the strength of Belkin Academy, you can understand the overall strength of the entire human world.
Ellik, who was unobstructed all the way, was overwhelmed with confidence and went directly to the highest institution of humanity. Originally, his plan was to lead some people with relatively high strength and potentially grasp the secret of human strength, and then capture the other party and ask about these information.
But beyond his expectations, the first master drawn out was a great swordsman wearing magic armor.
Demon armor is a unique equipment of the royal family in the Demon Realm. Is it related to the human world and the abyss of the Demon Realm?
However, even the royal family of the Demon Realm, Ellik was not worried at all, because he was a powerful man at the level of a great swordsman and had a symbiotic abyss monster. Even if the dragon came, he was sure to protect himself.
Unfortunately, it was not the dragon, but a skeleton like Gris, who could not be measured by common sense. From the moment Ellik turned around and ran away, he was hit by Gris's series of fireballs, the situation was out of his control.
No one would have thought that Gris would have an evil spirit that is unpredictable mental attack creature. Even if he had a dark dwarf who was best at lurking and assassination, Ellik would never have been defeated so inexplicably. As long as he could hold on to the first wave of offensive, the silver-horned demon snake that came back to his senses would definitely tear the invading enemies to pieces. However, the evil spirit's mental attack made him unable to even hold on to the first wave of attacks, and he didn't even have time to call for help.
It can be said that until now, Ellik still lost inexplicably.
"Psychological information?" After hearing Ellik's description, Gris summed up the actions of this black-eyed snake man were ultimately aimed at spy on the intelligence. Of course, these are just one-sided words of Ellik, and I don't know whether it is really not known.
This reminded Gris of the situation where the dark gnomes assassinated Alex a few years ago. When those gnomes assassinated all the great magicians, the information was very accurate. You should know that, which of the great magicians like Alex is not in an important position, and their whereabouts are already a secret. How could those dark gnomes easily obtain it?
"That was bought from the Mercenary Guild." The Mercenary Guild was originally an organization that served money. Anyone who needed it could issue a reward in the guild. Whether you were looking for lost items, escorting goods, or recruiting bodyguards, as long as you were given enough price, someone would serve you. Even if you wanted to commit crimes, assassinate enemies, or even launch a war, as long as you were given enough price, the underground Mercenary Guild would serve you.
So it is too simple to collect the whereabouts of these great magicians.
However, after the gate of the Abyss opened, everyone knew why these great magicians were assassinated. At this time, even the underground mercenary guild would not dare to cooperate with these abyss monsters again, which would be a serious crime against humanity.
From then on, all sources of information were cut off from the abyss plane.
