Lord of Arcane

Chapter 608 The New Definition of Undead Natural Disaster

After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked Mott, "Then where is the progress of your research?"

"My lord, I have already thought of a way of thinking, turning negative energy into a curse, attaching it to a goblin, and then letting it contact and infect other goblins, and finally make all goblins in a half-living and half-dead state, so that There is no need to increase their intelligence, the goblins themselves have a certain amount of intelligence and can understand human orders."

At the end, Mott's eyes almost sparkled, but his state made Xia Duo's heart tremble. This is the rhythm of the undead disaster!

Does he have the potential to become the Lich King?
Xia Duo shook his head, expelling this terrible scene from his mind, then turned serious, and said to Mott: "I am very satisfied with your research, but now there is enough labor in the territory, and there is no need for undead goblins for the time being. I have a new mission for you."

"what?!"

Mott was a little disappointed. He didn't expect his research to be useless at all, but when he thought of the Lord's new mission, he couldn't help but look forward to it, "My lord, what is the new mission?"

"Let's sort out a set of funeral etiquette that belongs exclusively to Da Xia!" Xia Duo said casually.

This is not something he came up with on the spur of the moment, but has been planned for a long time, and this is also Mott's job. The Lord of Death doesn't care about etiquette, and the teachings are more inclined to maintain the peace of the dead.

Xia Duo, who has experience in [Projection Plane Netheril Kilan Town], even suspects that the doctrine of the Lord of Death on the main plane has been specially revised.

After all, on that projected plane, the death priests were the real upper class, and the belief of the Lord of Radiance was even suppressed.

The projection plane is a possible projection of the main plane. Xia Duo has reason to believe that the main plane has also gone through such a wave of suppression, power seizure, and counter-suppression. In the end, the Lord of Death does not even have a decent temple.

The priests of the Lord of Death can only live in the temple of the Lord of Radiance. Of course, Xia Duo doesn't know why the mage class became the real ruler in the end.

He speculated that it might be related to [Neither Scroll], or it might be that the priests of the Lord of Radiance voluntarily retreated. It has been hundreds of years. Who can really understand the secret behind this!
Anyway, on the main plane, the power of the mage lord has been confirmed in almost every aspect, and it is not a big deal to just modify a funeral etiquette.

Xia Duo did not directly force Mott to ban the study of undead creatures, but prepared to play down the matter, and continuously assigning him new tasks is such a process.

……

After leaving the cemetery, Xia Duo immediately sent a message to Gibb and issued a new order, asking him not to take Mott out to hunt goblins. Without raw materials, even if Mott wanted to study in private, it was impossible.

As for going further, Xia Duo is planning to recruit two more death priests from Savile, even if there are only two apprentices, the secret will not be hidden if there are too many people.

Back at the lord's villa, the guard Norman told him that the ex-druid Atwood was already waiting for him in the reception room, but just at this time Niya "came a message", Xia Duo was anxious about the news about the scarlet flashing star , and did not immediately go to the reception room.

Since the communication instrument can only transmit short text messages, Niya sent the voice message through Ta Ling, and her tone seemed a little flustered:

"I can't contact the teacher now. There are rumors of natural disasters spreading outside. I asked several arcanists in Gilles Tower, and they don't know about the flashing star. I'm looking for information in the library now. Let’s see if there is anything similar in history.”

After hearing Niya's reply, Xia Duo felt a little heavy. He really hoped that Nya could reply directly that the scarlet flashing star was just a normal phenomenon, even if it was some strange experiment that her teacher was conducting!
This kind of neither accurate news nor rumors of natural disasters really makes people feel anxious!
The only good news is probably that the Gilles High Tower library has accumulated for hundreds of years, and perhaps we can really find records of similar situations.

If it's just an ordinary natural phenomenon, then it doesn't matter. The most feared thing is that it is really a precursor to some kind of natural disaster.

"Ugh--"

Xia Duo let out a long sigh, calmed down his mood, and stepped into the reception room. No matter what the future holds, what he should do right now must be done step by step.

……

"Lord Lord!"

Seeing Xia Duo coming in, Atwood stood up and saluted somewhat cautiously. Xia Duo still valued the former druid, and he would be of great use to him in the future, so he returned the salute.

After the two sat down respectively, Xia Duo took out a piece of parchment that had been prepared from the portable space, stretched out his hand to send it forward, and then naturally floated to Atwood, "Look at the content on it first!"

Atwood held up the paper suspended in front of him with both hands, and began to read. As he read the lines of text, Atwood's face was constantly changing.

From the calmness at the beginning, to the surprise, shock, and horror later, and finally the appreciation, recognition, and so on.

Xia Duo has a completely calm expression, because he is very clear about what is written on the paper. In his opinion, these contents are just common sense, and there is nothing to be surprised about.

But if it is placed in Netheril, it is not so simple.From Atwood's complex expression changes, Xia Duo once again affirmed this idea.

There wasn't much content on the paper, and Xia Duo estimated that Atwood had read it about the same, so he asked, "Is there anything you want to say after reading it?"

"grown ups--"

Atwood's mouth opened and closed, closed and opened, as if he didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Xia Duo directly drew the scope, "Let's talk about the definition of nature first, what do you think of the idea that 'man is also a part of nature'?"

With the scope, Atwood naturally no longer struggled, and immediately said, "This view is very novel, but the concept is higher than 'nature is equal to the forest'. Since elves can belong to nature, then of course humans can also belong to nature. "

"..."

Xia Duo’s original text is indeed human, but what he wants to express is any intelligent creature, including goblins, but Atwood’s interpretation is not wrong, at least it shows that he is somewhat dissatisfied with elves’ exclusive right to define nature.

So I asked again: "Then what do you think of the 'harmonious coexistence between man and nature'?"

Atwood replied, "Living in harmony does not mean maintaining the forest unconditionally. Human beings are also part of nature. Survival is the first priority. On the premise of meeting the living conditions, not maliciously demanding is harmony."

Xia Duo nodded. It seems that Atwood has already accepted the new definition of nature, but this is not surprising. If he can still accept the original definition, he will not be condemned by Germany because of the debate on whether it is possible to clear the forest and open up farmland. The Order of Rui was exiled.

Today, the druids of Netheril can basically become fundamentalists. They think that nature is the forest, and the elves are the incarnation of nature. They can agree that when the forest is cleared, there will be ghosts.

In fact, even among the elves, druids are not mainstream, and the elves have done a lot of damage to the forest.

When Xia Duo became an elf in the projection plane, it can be said that he knew it very well, especially in [Projection Plane Maierita Sukanvisa City], there are almost no legends of druids there, although the elves It is true that they love forests more than humans, but when a war strikes, what should be destroyed will still be destroyed.

As long as it is necessary, it doesn't matter even if the entire forest is destroyed.

Xia Duo speculates that the reason why the elves attach so much importance to the forest may be that the establishment of the mythos is related to the forest. Of course, Xia Duo is not sure about this, it is just a suspicion.

Otherwise, how can there really be any race that pays special attention to a certain environment!

To be honest, elves live in the air, so they should pay more attention to air quality, just like aquatic races pay more attention to water quality.
