Arcane Lord

After a while, Xia Duo suddenly noticed an abnormal distortion of the magic net near the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce ship, which was consistent with some characteristics of teleportation arrival. The distance was a bit far, and he could not identify any more information.

But there was no need for more information. The next moment, a figure wearing a black robe appeared next to Miles. Miles saluted quickly, and then informed Shado, "Arch Mage Timothy is here. I'll see you later." Please help Lord Xia Duo search."

At this time, the black-robed Archmage Timothy turned around and nodded towards Xia Duo. Xia Duo was stunned and quickly returned the greeting. Just looking at his face, the gloomy Archmage Timothy didn't look good. Get along!

Although one cannot judge a person's character just by his appearance, Xia Duo still secretly increased his vigilance.

Mages have many things to do, not to mention archmages. Even if they don't conduct spell research, as a superior person, they will definitely have a lot of things to be busy with.

Archmage Timothy immediately took action as soon as he came over. Sha Duo only saw him cast a very advanced spell from a distance, and then the "dead corpse" murlocs gathered in front of the Mingshui Merchant Guild's ship suddenly became active.

Two by two began to fight and devour, and the blood soon dyed the water red, and the fish-men's unique fishy smell continued to smear and spread to the outside.

This silent, mechanical killing lasted for less than half an hour. Of the murlocs that had been densely packed around the bow of the ship, less than 20 were left alive.

"Lord Xia Duo, please come to our ship to continue the search."

"good!"

Xia Duo did not refuse, and after a few words with the fleet, he jumped off the "Lucky Owen". However, he did not sink into the water, but stepped steadily on the water and walked across the lake. .

This is the ability given to him by his bloodline. He discovered this skill last time when his bloodline awakened. However, he had no chance to use it in the past. The display at this time was somewhat intimidating, and at least it seemed quite bluffing.

After stepping through the still red lake water and reaching the side of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce ship, Xia Duo grabbed a cable hanging from the ship, jumped up, and landed on the deck.

"Your Majesty the Archmage, just ask me to do anything you need me to do!"

"I have heard the name of Lord Xia Duo for a long time. I like the [Arcane Puzzle] you created very much. If it weren't for the mission and the creator was right in front of me, why would I need to ask for advice on a few games?"

Huh--

The Archmage's attitude was surprisingly polite, which surprised Xia Duo. Looking at the other party's face now, he didn't seem so gloomy anymore, but he still didn't relax his vigilance. After all, the blood from the mechanical killing just now had not spread yet. It’s all done.

People who don't understand such a dangerous person should always be vigilant.

After a while of greetings, the big ship also started to move. The hull of the ship broke through the waters stained red with the blood of the fishmen and headed forward, and the dozen or so fishmen who had survived the previous killings also followed.

The big ship sailed for a while, and another murloc appeared on the bow. After walking around the entire Macht Lake, a group of murlocs gathered on the bow again, almost the same as before, densely packed, like "dead corpses" Floating on the bow of the ship.

So the killings continued.

This time, Xia Duo recognized the spell cast by Archmage Timothy. Although he could only see some details involving the first five layers of the magic network at close range, he still recognized it with experience - —

This is a psychic spell of at least 6th level.

However, Xia Duo speculated that this spell was probably above level 8. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to send a great mage.

An ordinary mage needs to master at least one 8-level spell before he can be called an archmage, or he can have the title of archmage even if he has passed the qualifications.

As for the arcanist, a senior arcanist is one who comes into contact with the eighth level of the magic network.

Xia Duo could probably guess the function of this high-level spiritual spell. It should be to control the fishmen, and then kill and devour each other.

As for the 20 remaining fishmen, they are probably still under control.

"Lord Shado, we have just circled around Lake Macht. All the murlocs that can be attracted by the [Murloc Statue] are probably the remaining 20. The ones that are not attracted should be the ones that are produced. Wisdom, please ask Lord Xia Duo to help with the search."

"good."

Sha Duo nodded, jumped off the boat again, and landed on the water. Archmage Timothy also controlled a fishman to approach him in time, looking at the fish that still had bite marks and claw marks on its body and was still bleeding. Man, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, I didn't travel to a breeding farm of some inhuman race!

Of course, this does not mean that the intelligent fishmen here are time travellers. The fishmen themselves are intelligent, but they are suppressed by magic. There are some exceptions, and perhaps it is common sense. It is only now that we have discovered that there are some abnormalities.

After all, it is a breeding farm, not a laboratory.

To cast a detection spell, it is not necessary to cast the spell on the fish-men. Fuzzy search is also possible, but there will be omissions. In addition, Xia Duo does not want to have an archmage staring at him while casting the spell.

It doesn't matter if the scrying spell is leaked. Judging from the fact that Archmage Timothy doesn't know how to detect spells now, he probably won't be able to learn it in the future.

The real reason is that Xia Duo does not trust the great mage of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. It is easy to be disturbed at close range, so it is better to stay away.

When the spell feedback was over, Xia Duo did not return to the ship immediately, but pretended to wait for a while, as if he was trying to distinguish. This was actually a little thought.

After all, no one wants their efforts to be underestimated.

After getting on the boat, Xia Duo reported the search situation, "There is a fish-man gathering point near the lake in the east. There are about a dozen of them. They should be the remaining fish-men."

"good!"

Timothy nodded with satisfaction and ordered Miles to inform the ship to turn and provide position information in a timely manner.

At the same time, the twenty fishmen controlled by the Archmage also spread out in front of the ship, like an open fishing net, fishing forward.

"Sir Timothy, I heard Master Miles say before that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce was entrusted by the Grand Arcanist to breed murlocs and collect mucus here. If all the murlocs here are killed, the subsequent collection tasks will be very difficult. Isn’t it impossible to complete?”

"Haha, Lord Shado, don't worry. These murlocs reproduce very quickly. If it weren't for the fact that they were restricted to Lake Macht, I think the Netheril River Basin would have been overrun with murlocs long ago."

"Like goblins?" Sha Duo didn't believe it. He had seen the proliferation of goblins with his own eyes, but for now, fishmen seemed to be found only in Lake Macht.

For example, in the Savile Territory in the south, the murloc is still a legendary creature, and few people have actually seen a murloc. Shado thinks that more people in the Savile Territory may have seen elves than murlocs.

Regarding Xia Duo's question, Archmage Timothy nodded first, but then shook his head, showing a complicated expression and said:

"Probably more prevalent than goblins!"

"..."

Archmage Timothy didn't explain much about this, but turned his head and looked ahead, "I found them!"
