Lord of Arcane

Chapter 941
Lake Mecht disappeared, and a huge crater appeared on the spot, and the murlocs that might have accumulated the entire lake were naturally wiped out.

Xia Duo searched for a while, but did not find any traces of murlocs in the crater. Of course, there are still a large number of murlocs in the southern waterway that has been blocked from this huge crater, and there is no sign of the slightest decrease.

With the current number, even if it is dispersed in the entire Nether Waters, the density of its existence is extremely impressive.

Seeing this, Xia Duo couldn't help asking: "Master, although the mythos have been destroyed, what should we do with the murlocs that escaped before?"

In the north of Mecht Lake, Xia Duo has not been investigated, let alone, but in the south alone, there are nearly [-] kilometers of winding waterways in a straight line, full of murlocs.

Roughly estimated, the number of murlocs was at least several million. If the soldiers of Savile led them to clean them up, even if they didn't eat or drink, it might take several months to clean them up.

In fact, the area where Savile Town intercepted the murlocs was not large enough to start a battle, and the actual efficiency was even lower.

In addition, there must be a high-level spellcaster to help stop the murlocs from continuing to go south, otherwise ordinary soldiers can't stop the murlocs at all, which is even more troublesome.

This kind of matter cannot be borne by Savile and his family. It must be resolved by the Severton Council. Although Xia Duo believed that the Severton Council or the Seven Towers would not ignore it, he still couldn't help reminding .

And to this, Master Byron's answer was also very straightforward——

"Severnton Council is aware of the situation here, and there will be special personnel coming to deal with it soon, and I believe it will be resolved soon.

"In addition, the murlocs in Savile Town don't have to stop them. Let the people along the Worfburg River temporarily relocate and avoid them, as long as they don't appear in the murloc's field of vision. The actual effect of your blocking like this may be close to nothing!"

Xia Duo knew that Master Byron was talking about the situation that after the death of the murlocs, the corpses were linked by aquatic plants to form a special combination corpse monster, but blocking must still be blocked.

Not to mention that it takes time for the people to migrate, Xia Duo also doesn't want the murlocs to spread wildly. It is said that the murlocs will only attack when they see humans, but in fact murlocs will go ashore even if they don't see humans, but the proportion is very small.

But compared to the huge number of murlocs, even if it is a small proportion, the actual number is still very impressive.

In addition, although Netheril does not have a clear statement such as resettlement and relocation, the relocation of the people, even if it is temporary, will cause a lot of reluctance and inconvenience.

As long as the leaders didn't let the people see the murloc tide with their own eyes and make them believe that the murlocs would come ashore to attack them, someone would be lucky.

In the previous impression, the number of murlocs is very small, and they are all stupid, even an ordinary fisherman can catch them at will.

Maybe, after notifying the murlocs to temporarily relocate the citizens, more people would go to the river bank to watch the murlocs instead!
After all, murlocs were rare in the past, and they could be sold for money!

Therefore, it is still necessary to stop. At first, the mayor of Thain decided to block the murlocs from going south because of this consideration. He had to stop them because he was afraid that the murlocs would wreak havoc on the territory.

It would be too sad if there were a large loss of citizens. Population is extremely important to Xia Duo. Even some leaders who are clever and obedient are the cornerstone of the source of more population in the future.

Even if he gave up one, he would feel distressed.

However, Xia Duo already has a countermeasure. This is what he thought of in the fan lock. In fact, he should have thought of it earlier.

But it may be an emergency, or a blind spot in thinking, or subconsciously not thinking about this method.

This method is not suitable for use in front of people, especially in the presence of a grand arcanist who may be curious and capable of satisfying curiosity.

The best time is when a person is quiet.

Of course, there is no need to tell Master Byron about this.

……

Next, Xia Duo invited Master Byron to go to Savile Town as a guest, but the master refused, not only he refused, but President Jenna also refused, and even said:

"I have notified Seide's advisor to return to Sevington immediately. Lord Xiaduo should return to Savile Town as soon as possible, and organize the citizens to take shelter!"

Xia Duo remained silent, knowing that Master Byron and Chairman Jenna had decided to go, and also knew that it would not work for Master Byron to act as a "tiger skin" when the parliament sent people to the southern border.

Fortunately, it doesn't affect much. Niya is a student of the princess herself, so no matter who comes, she must give this face.

……

Seeing Master Byron and President Jenna open the portal and leave as they did when they came, Xia Duo returned to Savile Town.

As President Jenna said, Seid had already left, and seeing Xia Duo return, Ebuke told him another piece of bad news——

"The tide of murlocs may be unstoppable!"

"Can't stop it? How is this possible?!"

Although the blocking effect with the ice fence is not very good, and high-level spellcasters are needed to replenish it from time to time, but it is not impossible to stop it now. Xia Duo knows that there may be new situations.

Could it be related to the destruction of the Mystic?

Almost instantly, he made such a guess, so he and Eberke went to the river while learning about the latest situation.

By the river, he had roughly understood what happened. It turned out that just now, the rhythm of these murlocs' "death" suddenly slowed down, and it was the first time that they retreated before they died.

What this means is almost self-evident.

Standing behind the line of defense, Xia Duo looked across the gap between the soldiers and landed on the murlocs in front who were still attacking the line of defense. Just looking at the speed of death, he really couldn't see anything, but——

Soon, he focused his eyes on a murloc who was struggling to push his fellow men to retreat. Although it was eventually wrapped around the line of defense and killed, this kind of sign was very impressive. disturbed.

It's not how powerful the murlocs are, but that these murlocs have self-awareness, know fear, and know how to advance and retreat, which is troublesome!

……

Murlocs, undoubtedly, should be regarded as a kind of intelligent species, but at the beginning, the murlocs raised by Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in Lake Mecht were specially treated, without any intelligence at all.

And half a year ago, when Xia Duo passed by Lake Mecht, the murlocs lost control, and only a very small number of murlocs developed wisdom, and even attacked the fleet of the Great Xia leader and transport leader before that.

As for now, before the Mystic was destroyed, these murlocs were almost without exception, they were all single-minded, they only knew how to die without any fear at all.

Even those murlocs who went ashore before they reached Savile Territory were all wandering on the shore, aimless, and they didn't look intelligent at all.

But after the Mystic was destroyed, Xia Duo saw the murlocs retreating with their own eyes, which indicated that the murlocs might lose control again, but this time they lost the control of the elves and awakened their self-awareness.

Even though the proportion of murlocs who have awakened self-awareness is extremely low, considering the huge number of murlocs, it is still a problem that cannot be ignored.

Even the judgment of "very low proportion" is just a rough judgment made by Xia Duo based on what he sees now.

It's hard to say whether there will be more murlocs awakening their self-awareness more frequently in the future!
