Arcane Lord

“I had obtained some samples of Lake Macht’s aquatic plants before and conducted some research.

"That kind of aquatic plant may be able to use the host's original intelligence through parasitism, but the aquatic plant itself has no intelligence, or the intelligence is not obvious, at least it has no desire to actively attack!

"But I'm pretty sure that what attacked me was just a bunch of independent water plants, not connected to the fish-man!"

Said's words made everyone fall into deep thought, but soon Jenna continued to ask: "What is so abnormal about the magic network environment inside the green light compared to the outside world?"

"It's hard to describe. I can only confirm that the magic network there has indeed been reconstructed and resisted my operation. As for the difference between it and the external magic network, based on my observation, there is no difference. It may be It’s because my time there was too short.”

…

After several inquiries, everyone had a general understanding of the situation inside the Green Light of Lake Macht, but it was limited to this, and there was no further description of the details of the mystery lock.

"In this case, then I will go to Lake Macht myself!"

Seeing Byron preparing to go to Lake Macht to investigate in person, Sha Duo immediately stood up and said, "Master Byron, wait a moment, I have another news to say."

"Oh? What else does Lord Shado know?" Byron asked.

"Before everyone came to the southern border, the soldiers of Savile Territory have been fighting the fishmen for some time. I discovered a strange phenomenon. After the fishmen died, their bodies would be dragged back to the water by other fishmen. And combined with that special water plant, a monster similar to a 'combined corpse' was formed!"

"Is there still this matter?"

Hearing this, Jenna interrupted midway and asked Said, "Consultant Said, have you found this phenomenon in green light?"

In response to this, Said immediately shook his head: "No, I did not fight with the fish-men in the green light. I was only attacked by aquatic plants when I left at the end! But -"

After a pause, he continued to add: "When dealing with the out-of-control murloc incident in Lake Macht half a year ago, there was a kind of aquatic giant, and there were a lot of murlocs connected to them, but they were alive, not corpses. , Lord Xia Duo can also prove this, he was also present at the time!"

So Jenna and Byron turned their attention to Shado. Seeing this, Shado nodded calmly, agreed with Said's answer, and said:

"I also find it strange. There used to be aquatic giants, but now they are a group of corpses. It seems that the former is mainly composed of aquatic plants, while the latter is mainly composed of fish-man corpses."

In fact, based on Said's previous experience, we can probably judge that this aquatic plant may be a parasitic organism, and may even have autonomous consciousness!

Of course, it is also possible that it is controlled in real time by the mastermind behind the scenes, similar to something like a neural link. However, this kind of speculation is too fantastic. Xia Duo has no evidence and it is difficult to explain, so naturally he cannot talk nonsense.

But in his heart, he thought this possibility was not small.

If the mastermind behind the scenes just did it and then completely let it go, even he wouldn't be relieved, right? There should be monitoring!

Such a thought flashed through Sha Duo's mind, and then President Jenna's soft voice reached his ears: "Lord Sha Duo, can you take us to see that kind of aquatic plant?"

"Of course!" Xia Duo said quickly.

Xia Duocai just said that he was going to let them check the aquatic plants first. Otherwise, he would really be worried that Byron, who didn't know much about the situation, wouldn't be able to get out after entering the green light.

It would be a shame if that happened.

…

Soon, a group of people, including Bishop Ambril, who was supposed to be resting, arrived at the former site of the Tower of Time.

There was no need for Xia Duo to do anything. After Byron learned about the situation here, he personally "lifted" a huge composite corpse from the river in the north.

This deformed monster, made up of dozens of twisted and intertwined fish-men corpses, began to struggle crazily when it was brought out of the water.

But the water plants, which were not thick at all, still connected the corpses very tightly and did not fall apart.

Of course, Shado also saw that Byron was using a transformation spell similar to [Mage's Hand], but it was more powerful and complex than [Mage's Hand].

Being able to drive such a huge and possibly intelligent combined corpse is a bit forced to use [Flying].

Generally speaking, when the target of a change spell has autonomous consciousness, it will instinctively reject interference from external spells.

Even if it is [Flying Technique], the same is true. If it is to bless [Flying Technique] for others, as long as the target is resistant, it will be easy to refuse.

Of course, this is also because the status control of [Flying] belongs to the target of the spell.

If it is a forced [Flying] that ignores the target's will, it is the same as [Mage's Hand] and is completely controlled by the caster.

At present, Xia Duo has not done much research on such force-driven change spells, or in other words, this kind of research seems somewhat thankless to him.

If you want to force, you can use more efficient and more direct psychic spells. If you want to kill or control, you can also use creative spells to complete it.

The forced change added a psychic spell component, which made it ineffective. Of course, in some specific situations, such spells were necessary.

For example, for the purpose of teasing or humiliating, forcing someone to turn into a small animal, and then feeding him grass or some unspeakable things.

For example, in the current situation, when you want to move a target that may have autonomous consciousness but is inconvenient to contact, you can also use a mandatory change spell.

If it were Sha Duo, he might use a force field to wrap the target, and then control the force field to indirectly bring it out of the water. After all, he is most accustomed to using creation spells.

…

Byron "carried" the corpse of the fish-man group out of the water and placed it in an open space on the edge of the central square. Just when Shado thought he could see the Grand Arcanist's inspection and analysis methods soon, Byron put Seid Called over:

"Consultant Said, you said you have done research on this kind of aquatic plant before. Come and check it out!"

Said glanced at the president and saw that she had no objection, so he agreed, "Master Byron, my research is very superficial. I hope it can bring some reference to Master!"

Immediately afterwards, Shado saw Said constantly taking out experimental tools from the dimensional bag like Tinker Bell.

Among them were bottles and jars that Xia Duo could recognize, as well as mysterious utensils that he had never seen before. Of course, even the contents of the bottles and jars were unknown to Xia Duo.

In this way, at the edge of the central square, Said directly started a live magic analysis experiment.
