Lord of Arcane

Chapter 576 Chris is an elf again?

Of course, even if he wants to stay to see the result, Xia Duo still has to consider the unexpected situation, whether it is an accident from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, or an accident from the people behind the murloc incident.

While the senior arcanist named Said was checking the aquatic plants, Xia Duo returned to the "Lucky Owen". He called old Owen and first mate Ruth, and ordered:
"The situation has changed now. Captain Owen, let me ask you, how many days will it take from Lake Mecht to Savile Land?"

"My lord, you can return to Savile Territory in about 15 days of normal sailing. Considering that it is downstream after entering the Fort Worf river, according to the current speed of this season, it may be reduced by a day or two."

"Then if the citizens on the Owen were transferred to other ships, would there still be room on those ships to load enough food for all the citizens for 15 days?"

Old Owen didn't answer right away, but after careful consideration for a while, he said his judgment, "My lord, it might not be possible if it was before, but this day we only brought the leaders in their early 400s, and the voyage has already passed halfway. , it should be no problem for other ships to support for 15 days.”

"Okay!" Xia Duo breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was going to stay and see the results, if the fleet were all gone, then the subsequent travel and drawing plans would almost be ruined.

He doesn't want to wander alone in the wild, even if it is a very friendly water environment for him.

"Now immediately transfer the people and food, leaving only the basic crew on the Owen and the food for the next few days. If everything goes well, we can still catch up with the front fleet."

"Yes, my lord."

After receiving the order, first mate Ruth immediately left to report to other ships, while old Owen stayed behind.

Xia Duo asked, "Captain Owen, I know you retired the year before last, so before that, did you encounter murloc robbers when you sailed through Lake Mecht?"

"Never, but I once met a lone murloc in the river section near Savile Land, and I sold it to an adventurer for 20 gold coins. Later, I heard that he sold it for 100 gold coins. Gold coins, now that I think about it, I still regret it."

Looking at the old Owen's reminiscence, it is estimated that this incident should have left a deep imprint on his heart, and Xia Duo did not interrupt him, but Owen quickly realized that he was in front of the lord, and quickly apologized:
"My lord, when you are old, you tend to think blindly."

"Captain Owen, you are not old. Sometimes I really doubt your age. You don't look like someone over 60 years old." Xia Duo said with a smile.

The old Owen has a strong body. After he retired and was hired by Xia Duo as the captain of the Owen, he still insisted on taking the helm by himself and was very energetic. Of course, it was because of this that he was able to become the captain of the Owen.

After talking and laughing, you still have to continue to ask questions about business matters. Xia Duo doesn't mind showing his people-friendly side in front of his leaders, but the premise is that they obey the order of the Great Xia Leader, or Xia Duo's order.

Seeing old Owen's cautious look, Xia Duo sighed silently in his heart. After all, he has not yet become a Daxia person he is satisfied with. It seems that he still has to look at the next generation, so he continued to ask:
"You also saw the scene at the bow of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce before. There are so many murlocs in Lake Mecht! Captain Owen, did you know about this situation before?"

"I don't know. If I knew there were so many murlocs in Lake Mecht, I would have chosen to retire a long time ago." Owen looked terrified. He was indeed frightened by the dense crowd of murlocs.

Afterwards, Xia Duo asked some more detailed questions, and confirmed that the murlocs who slipped out of Lake Mecht normally were like beasts, and would not develop wisdom or grow aquatic plants on their bodies.

From the looks of it, the water grass murlocs should have appeared only recently.

……

After a while, all the citizens on the "Owen" were transferred to other ships in the fleet, and those ships also set sail soon, only the "Owen" remained.

After leaving a warning magic, Xia Duo continued to walk on the water to the big ship of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. At this moment, he suddenly thought that walking on the water is a bit bluffing, but after all, he still has to walk by himself.

But using [Flying] is a bit wasteful, if you can have a flying mount at this time, it will be much more convenient!And not only now, when [Flying] is needed, flying mounts can also be used instead.

Xia Duo thought of what Niya mentioned to him a few days ago. After he left, Master Greta gave him another pair of Pegasus as an extra reward for the princess. Of course, the two Pegasus have long since Sent back to the Tower of Time by Niya.

If he left a few days late, he might be able to take Pegasus on board.

Even in [Projected Plane] Xia Duo has never ridden a Pegasus, he is still very interested in this flying mount of elves, of course, he is more interested in unicorns.

In Xia Duo's opinion, Pegasus is nothing more than a flying horse, which is indeed very rare, but compared to a talking, intelligent, and spell-casting unicorn, Pegasus is nothing.

……

When they arrived on the big ship of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, Seid had disappeared, and Miles was not there. Only Timothy was talking to a strange mage at the bow. It seemed that the investigation team mentioned by Timothy had already arrived.

Xia Duo stepped forward to say hello, and then asked, "Your Excellency Timothy, how is the situation now?"

"So far, the position is going well. As for the further situation, we have to wait for the investigation results of the Chris team. I forgot to introduce you. This is Chris, the senior arcanist of the Arcane Union."

Xia Duo saluted, but he didn't expect that Yu Yu was a senior arcanist, and he was also from the Arcane Union, which made him a little curious about this so-called investigation team.

Is this the outsourcing team that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce found in the Austrian and French Federation, or did people from the Austrian and French Federation join the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce?
And is this investigation team just going through the motions like the Archmage Auron who went to Hawkland to investigate the assassination of the mage before?
"Lord Xia Duo, I have heard my nephew mention you more than once. He is also a pioneer and is now developing new land in the Kangqi Plain. He admires the "Big Xia Territory Standard Exploitation Manual" written by you very much. He told me that if If it wasn’t for this book, he would have given up on pioneering.”

Chris looked at Xia Duo curiously, as if he could clearly see what was so special about Xia Duo, that he could write a book that his proud nephew also admired very much.

cough--

Xia Duo was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Chris, covered his mouth and coughed, and quickly changed the subject, "What did your Excellency Chris find here? Who is behind those aquatic grass murlocs? What are the functions of those aquatic plants?"

A series of questions stopped Chris. He glanced at Timothy and saw that he had no objection, so he replied: "Our team is good at tracking down clues. So far, we have found several traces of human interference, but aquatic grass carp Who is behind the person? I still need to continue to look for clues. My people are doing it. I will keep the clues and bring them back to Sevington for further investigation. However, based on experience, I speculate that this matter is inseparable from the elves;

"As for the effect of aquatic plants, this is not what our team is good at. Maybe it's better to wait for Arcanist Said to come back and ask him."

Elf?

Xia Duo was silent. Why are there elves everywhere? It really feels like a lingering ghost. Then will there be elves behind the mysterious organization that is involved with Rodney?

No, Xiaduo quickly denied this speculation. Lord Hawke said that behind the mysterious organization was a great arcanist, and that he was involved with Rodney. He still believed this.

If there are elves behind the mysterious organization, then what is Lord Hawk's operation? Is it a dog-eat-dog between different elf forces?
If it's true that the elf force bites the dog, shouldn't it be revealed directly?
If it is the same elf force, then there is no need to say that.

It seems that the mysterious organization No. 2 should be behind the water grass murloc incident here. It is not enough to have a mysterious organization, but another one pops up here, which is really troublesome!
Looking at the calm lake, Xia Duo couldn't help feeling a little restless.
