Chapter 3028: Great migration

Qiao An can’t say what place the beholder is more worthy of preference than the heart-devil, maybe it’s just because the beholder is mostly on the harassed and bullied side in the struggle with the heart-devil, and the weaker side always motivates him more. Sympathy.
However, is it possible that he has over-protected the beholder family?
The reason why the young mage had such a reflection was that Metatron revealed in the letter that yesterday Noah, the mastermind of Odius, called a meeting of the citizens of the city and announced a shocking decision.
Noah plans to lead the citizens of the city to leave Oedis on a shell ship, completely abandon this spiritual city where the mind-seating demons have lived for a thousand years. , Moved back to a safer crystal wall system, which is the so-called "Refuge No. 42".
In the context of the mind-severs, "refuge" refers specifically to the "non-magic crystal wall system". In such a world, psychic energy can function normally, and magic and most other supernatural powers will be suppressed. This kind of environment is indeed safer for the mind-severs who are naturally proficient in psychics.
During the long interstellar travels in the past, the mind-seating demons have accumulated a large amount of knowledge about various planes and crystal wall systems. Every time they break into a new world, they will always send expeditions to conduct systematic investigations of the local environment. Relevant data is stored in the main brain.
If the crystal wall system has not been infiltrated by the magic net, and there are no natural enemies of the mind-seating demons, it will be marked as a "refuge". In case of an irresistible crisis in the future, you can escape to the refuge to hide from the limelight.
Enemies of the heart-diving demons, unless they are also good at psychic powers, are unlikely to track down to the world without demons. This is also the value of the refuge.
Qiao’an’s identity in Oedis is a
vagant
, he is not eligible to participate in the citizens’ assembly, and he does not know which crystal wall system the refuge number
42
refers to, but he vaguely feels that the main reason He hardened his heart to abandon his homeland and led the tribe to escape from Valais Tianyu, mostly because the previous revenge action of the beholders caused a psychological shadow on him, worried that if they did not escape, they would be annihilated by the beholders sooner or later!
In fact, the current situation of the beholders is not as good as the mind-severs. Udinese, who does not have the supreme, is in an internal fight, and has neither the ability nor the will to expedition to Odes.
However, Qiao An couldn't use these reasons to convince the mastermind, otherwise would he expose the inner story of his collusion with the beholder?
Taking a step back and thinking about it, the collective migration of the mind-seating demons is actually not a bad thing. If there is one Odius in the world, the world will at least not get worse.
As for Qiao An himself, or the identity of "Faster" Nos, of course he didn't want to leave the world of Vares. After all, he was not a real heart-catcher, and there was no reason to run away.
Moreover, he still has many missions that have not been completed, such as assisting his compatriots to win the War of Independence, such as eliminating the remnants of the cult who believes in the "Mother of Monsters" Ekadna, and of course the most important thing-to prevent the "Fumble Winter" Coming, do everything possible to save this world on the edge of the cliff.
The question is, what reason do I have to refuse to board the migrating ship?
This makes Qiao An quite troubled.
No reasonable excuses can be found. If it is not possible, he can only give up the identity of Noss. Anyway, Oedis is about to become an abandoned empty city, and it is useless to keep Noss.
Just when he was in a daze, the dwarf butler Tam came in to report.
"Dear Master, Master Metatron is here, and I will be waiting for you in the living room downstairs."
"I'll get down right away."
Qiao Ann took the perfume bottle and sprayed it twice on his body, and went downstairs to entertain the guests.
Metatron changed into a light pink coat today, and her face was a little haggard, but when she saw Qiao Ann walking down the stairs, her eyes overflowed with joy, and she trot up to hug and kiss him.
"Brother Gnostic, you hide in the house all day, so you are not afraid of mold?"
"Anyway, there is no sunlight in the gloomy area, and whether you go out or not has nothing to do with whether it gets moldy or not." Qiao An said lightly.
Metatron has long been accustomed to his "strength and fine" style, and is not angry. He still takes his hand affectionately and asks: "What do you think of the decision announced by the main brain at the citizens' assembly yesterday?"
"I don't think it is necessary." Qiao An told the truth, "Some time ago, the beholders did cause us a lot of trouble, but I heard that the beholders are not having a good life recently, as long as we don't provoke them. A group of mad women, they shouldn’t come to find fault either. They just abandon Oedis to avoid the vengeance of the beholders. This is purely a fuss."
"Dear Brother Gnostic, I said you lived in seclusion for too long, did not hear things outside the window, and were out of touch with society. Now can't you prove it? You are completely wrong about the point!"
Metatron shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Indeed, the beholders are a big threat, especially the crazy Mitra, whose strength is even stronger than the legendary weird "Speaking Ball". We admit that we can't provoke her, but we are not afraid of her. Flee to the whole clan."
"Since it is not to avoid the beholders, why should we leave Valais Tianyu and migrate to a dull and boring world without demons?" Qiao An asked in surprise.
"A boring world without magic? Haha, it makes sense to say this from your mouth. After all, you are an Orphan who specializes in both magic and psionics. If you have a better choice, you are definitely not willing to go to the refuge. !"
Metatron's unintentional remark reminded Joan.
As an "Olyinist", it seems that I can use it as a reason to oppose migration.
Princess Ling Su put away her smile, her face became serious.
"Brother Gnostic, the inside story I'm going to talk about next is currently only known by the mastermind and the elders, and other citizens don't know it. You must not spread it out!"
"I promise to control my mouth." Qiao An said with a serious face.
"We live in the underground world, and we still don't feel it. In fact, the surface world has already shown signs of apocalyptic catastrophe!"
Metatron's words made Qiao An's heartstrings tense, and he asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by the end-time catastrophe?"
In fact, he already has the answer in his mind, and asking this question is just seeking confirmation.
"'Fenbull's Winter','Twilight of the Gods', it's impossible for a knowledgeable person like you to have never heard of it, right?"
as predicted!
Qiao An reluctantly remained calm, nodded slightly, and asked her pretendingly, "These are all ancient myths passed down in the human world, can they be taken seriously?"
"To be honest, I am not completely convinced, but the great Noah asserted that this matter is true, and used the legendary ability to infer that the'Fumble Winter' has come, and the world of Vares will have a high probability of being destroyed by this catastrophe. , Then we can't help but question it."
Metatron answered with a wry smile.
