Lord of Arcane

Chapter 927 Nerve Cord Conjecture Forced Change
"I had some samples of Lake Macht plants before and did some research.

"That kind of aquatic plants may be able to use the original intelligence of the host through parasitic means, but aquatic plants themselves have no intelligence, or wisdom is not obvious, at least they do not have the desire to actively attack!

"But I'm pretty sure that what attacked me at that time was a group of independent aquatic plants, not connected to the murlocs!"

Seid's words made everyone fall into deep thought, but soon Jenna continued to ask: "Compared with the environment of the magic net inside the green light and the outside world, what's the difference?"

"It's hard to describe. I can only confirm that the magic net there has indeed been reconstructed and resists my operation. As for the difference between it and the outside magic net, based on my observations, there is no difference. It may be It’s because I’ve been in there for too little time.”

……

After several inquiries, everyone had a general understanding of the situation inside the green light of Mecht Lake, but that was all there was to it, and there was no further description of the details of Mysuo.

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

Seeing that Byron was about to go to Lake Mecht to investigate in person, Xia Duo immediately stood up, "Master Byron, wait a moment, I have another message to tell."

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

"Before everyone came to the southern border, the soldiers of Savile Land had been fighting the murlocs for a while. I found a strange phenomenon, that is, after the murlocs died, their bodies would be dragged back underwater by other murlocs. And under the combination of that special aquatic plant, a monster similar to a 'combined corpse' was formed!"

"Is there still this?"

When Jenna heard the words, she interjected and asked Seid, "Consultant Seid, have you found this phenomenon in the green light?"

Regarding this, Seid immediately shook his head: "No, I didn't fight the murlocs 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 Mecht half a year ago, there was a kind of aquatic giant, and there were not a few murlocs linked to them, but those were alive, not corpses. Lord Xiaduo can also prove this point, he was also present at that time!"

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

"I also find it strange. Before it was a giant aquatic plant, but now it is a group of combined corpses. It seems that the former is mainly aquatic plants, while the latter is mainly murloc corpses."

In fact, combined with Said's previous experience, it can be judged that this aquatic plant may be a parasitic organism, and may have autonomous consciousness!

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

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

If the mastermind behind the scenes just did it and then completely let it go, even he himself wouldn't feel at ease, right?It should be monitored!
Such a thought flashed in Xia Duo's mind, at this moment President Jenna's soft voice reached her ears: "Lord Xia Duo, can you take us to see that aquatic plant?"

"Of course!" Xia Duo said quickly.

Xia Duo said that he wanted them to check the aquatic plants first, otherwise, he was really worried that Byron, who didn't know much about the situation, would not be able to get out after entering the green light.

It would be a pity if that happened.

……

Soon, a group of people, including Bishop Ambriel, who was supposed to go to rest, came to the former site of the Tower of Time.

Xia Duo didn't need to do anything. After knowing the situation here, Byron personally "lifted" a huge combined corpse from the river in the north.

This deformed monster, composed of dozens of murloc corpses twisted and intertwined together, began to struggle frantically when it was brought out of the water.

But the not-so-thick aquatic plants still connected the corpses very tightly, and they didn't fall apart.

Of course, Xia Duo 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 like forcing the [flying technique].

Generally speaking, when the target of transformation spells has self-awareness, it will instinctively reject the interference of external spells.

Even the [Flying Art] is the same, if it is blessing [Flying Art] for other people, as long as the target resists, it is easy to refuse.

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

If it is a forced [Fly] that ignores the will of the target, it is the same as [Mage Hand], completely under the control of the caster.

At present, Xia Duo has not done much research on such coercive transformation spells, or in other words, this kind of research is somewhat thankless in his opinion.

If you want to force, you can use more efficient and direct mind spells. If you want to kill or control, you can also use creation spells.

Forcing changes, adding the element of psychic spells, has actually become inefficient. Of course, under certain circumstances, such spells are also necessary.

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

Another example is the current situation, when you want to move a target that may have autonomous consciousness but is inconvenient to contact, you can also use mandatory transformation spells.

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

……

Byron put the corpse of the murloc combination "lifted" out of the water into an open space on the edge of the central square. Just when Xia Duo thought that he could see the inspection and analysis methods of the great arcanist soon, Byron put Seid Called over:

"Consultant Seide, you said that you have done research on this aquatic plant before, come and check it out!"

Seid glanced at the president and saw that she had no objection, so he agreed, "Master Byron, my research is very superficial, I hope I can give you some reference!"

Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo saw Seid, like Tinker Bell, constantly taking out experimental tools from the dimensional bag.

Among them are bottles and jars that Xia Duo can recognize, as well as mysterious utensils that he has never seen before. Of course, even if it is a bottle and jar, Xia Duo does not know what is inside.

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