Emperor of Arcane

Chapter 733 The temptation of golden pearls (8000)

A fish-man who can ride a flying dragon!

A murloc who speaks fluent Common!

A murloc wearing magical armor and weapons!

Noticing the smart look in Bobo's eyes, Marshal Lothar couldn't help but ask:

"Who is this Mr. Fishman?"

Facing the curiosity in Marshal Lothar's eyes, Bobo smiled and said:

"My name is Bobo, the manager of the fish leader in the bay.

"Lord Matthew has entrusted me with solving the fish-men problem. If you have any difficulties or requests, just ask me."

Master Anthony did not speak, but hesitated for a while before continuing to ask:

"Can you solve them all? Do you need us to provide some supplies?"

Spreading his palms gently, Bobo answered with great confidence:

"We don't need any supplies. You just need to send some people as guides to help us communicate with lords and nobles everywhere."

"In addition, when we clean up these fishmen, we will make appropriate use and collect various resources in the water system. I wonder if you are willing?

Bobo's tone was filled with unparalleled confidence and calmness, and his focused eyes were filled with a touch of wisdom.

This is a fish-man that cannot be underestimated!

This idea came to Marshal Lothar's mind. Regarding the conditions offered by Bobo, he nodded without hesitation and said:

"No problem, I will send my adjutant, bodyguard, and court mage to accompany you."

"I will definitely help solve all your problems."

Of course Marshal Lothar knew why Bobo said that.

He also understands that the fools in the kingdom tend to do bad things at times like this.

Therefore, Marshal Lothar gave a clear-cut attitude and expressed his support without hesitation.

If a conflict really breaks out, Marshal Lothar will have a chance to ease things up, so as not to end up with an enemy.

After receiving this promise, Bobo raised his eyebrows very happily, nodded his wrist guard with great satisfaction, and said impatiently:

"Hey, then I'm going to start."

“Don’t worry when the Gulf Leader is doing the work!”

Upon hearing this, Marshal Lothar nodded, his expression very calm.

Now that we have chosen to trust the Gulf Territory, and the other party has shown strong strength and ability, there is nothing to continue to struggle with.

After receiving the conditions, Bobo smiled at Adam Smith next to him, quickly climbed onto the eye-catching flying dragon, and walked away happily under the gaze of countless soldiers.

Matthew looked at the calm beach in front of him, raised his eyebrows expectantly and said:

"It's a pity that these guys are so scared."

When Adam Smith heard this, he couldn't help but smile. He hesitated for a while and said immediately:

"According to the information provided by Lord Menglan, it will take about a month for the large Naga army to arrive."

Matthew nodded, said a few words to Adam Smith, and then returned to the dragon turtle's head.

Rather than establishing a good relationship with the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Matthew wanted to capture these rare dragon turtles.

The dragon turtle that could withstand the disaster of dragon madness without going crazy, and also experienced the control of Naga without completely losing its mind, was definitely worthy of his careful study.

More importantly, Naga's use of cold-blooded creatures is too simple and crude.

"Go forward and enter the river!"

Matthew controlled these dragon turtles and walked towards the Mississippi River.

At the same time, he did not forget to communicate with the largest dragon turtle:

"What is your name?"

"how old are you?"

"How many times have you experienced dragon blood stimulation?"

"Do you want to experience the baptism of dragon blood?"

“Do you want to be free from slavery and control?”

"Do you want to live a life of peace of mind?"

"Just listen to me..."

Matthew's few words and images, coupled with the genuine dragon power, "convinced" the dragon turtles very easily.

Of course, Matthew didn't expect to make the dragon turtles obedient in one fell swoop.

However, this did not prevent Matthew from controlling the dragon turtle and advancing inland along the Mississippi River.

The march lasted about half an hour.

Matthew then saw Bobo riding a flying dragon and falling from the sky.

Behind him, a large number of strong dragon-born fishmen were looking excitedly at the fleeing fishmen below.

It can be seen that they are already a little impatient.

Bobo turned on the fatal halo generator without hesitation, looked at the commotion of the murlocs around him, and let out a series of sharp roars:

"Guys, if you want to survive, just follow me."

Bobo is not meant for most fishmen, but specifically for those fishmen who are slightly more intelligent.

Matthew did not interfere with Bobo's actions. He had always believed in the talents of the Gulf Territory.

He doesn't have much time or energy to do various things directly.

Matthew can only provide some guidance and provide them with corresponding space to play.

If they must take action, it will only be to solve dangers and troubles beyond their capabilities.

Facts have proved that Bobo, who has learned and grown up a lot in the Gulf Territory, is already familiar with these things.

Even if the vast majority of fishmen are temporarily freed from control, they still behave in a confused manner.

They were afraid of the dragon turtle's momentum and danger, and did not dare to approach at all.

Only a handful of fishmen understood the looping sound, overcame the fear deep in their hearts, and rushed over.

Bobo saw more and more of these smart fish-men, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face.

On the river bank not far away, a large number of huge swamp crocodiles were slowly crawling towards this side.

On the backs of these giant swamp crocodiles, dozens of heavily armed dragon-born murlocs were counting various supplies.

Bobo immediately went up to him, quickly looked through the list, confirmed that the items and quantities were accurate, and said loudly without hesitation:

"Continue forward and within three hours we will reach the confluence of the nearest tributaries of the Mississippi River."

The accompanying members of the Kingdom of Lordaeron had a little bit of disbelief in their eyes.

They never expected that the Gulf Territory actually controlled the fishmen and could tame and raise large numbers of dangerous magical creatures like the Swamp Giant Crocodile.

Some of the court mages of the Kingdom of Lordaeron sensed the real power of dragons from the special aura of these swamp giant crocodiles, which made them feel very incredible.

Master Anna, who was leading the team, couldn't help but cast her eyes on Matthew, who was standing still.

She thinks that Matthew is doing it secretly so that more and more fish-men can be gathered.

However, Anna soon ran out of time to think about this situation.

Another batch of flying dragons fell down in the panic of many fishmen, and they brought a group of staff from the Gulf Territory.

Xiao Jixiang, who was leading the team, carefully looked at the confluence of the three rivers.

Under the unbelievable gaze of Master Anna, she raised a staff full of magical aura and released a high-level spell - Water Dividing!

A huge gap opened in the turbulent river, and the continuously flowing magic light prevented the surrounding water from approaching.

A large number of dragon-born fishmen approached, holding various magic tools in their hands.

In a flash of spiritual light.

A huge stone foundation replaced a large mass of mud at the bottom of the river.

A huge amount of magic cement and various supporting steel structures were quickly piled up.

The entire huge building expanded from the bottom of the river upwards.

Huge buildings tens of meters high quickly "grew" from the river to the water.

Anna stared at the holes in the building, wondering about the purpose of this unique building.

The huge swamp giant crocodile soon lay down everywhere in the building and suddenly began to lay eggs.

Surging magic waves slowly spread from the center of the building.

A huge magic circle barrier was built around the entire building.

The dragon turtles who saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.

They could vaguely feel the power of the magic wave, and they quickly obeyed Matthew's orders and settled down in various places in the building and on both sides of the three rivers.

Just as the dragon turtles were experiencing the novelty of free will, Anna noticed the movements of the dragon-born fishmen underwater.

These special fish-men were not what the young female mage had imagined.

By far surpassing other murlocs in strength, he can attack the surrounding murlocs and expand his power.

They gathered around the underwater building and made some arrangements that Anna couldn't understand.

For example, take out various aquatic plants and algae from the storage space.

Scatter finger-sized rocks throughout the building.

What Anna couldn't understand the most was the dark green liquid poured down by these dragon-born murlocs.

The dark green liquid blended into the surrounding water and immediately caused the newly taken out aquatic plants and algae to grow wildly.

The wildly growing aquatic plants and algae covered the dozens of meters high underwater buildings in just a few minutes.

Such a strange effect is clearly caused by a mysterious and expensive magic potion or potion.

"Precious magic potions are not reserved for spellcasters, but are used to grow aquatic plants. Why is this?"

Not only Anna couldn't figure it out, but the members of the Kingdom of Lordaeron who were accompanying her were also a little confused.

They just stood by the river blankly, as if nothing had anything to do with them.

"What do these fishmen want to do?"

"Why don't you start fighting yet?"

"Building buildings underwater? Why spend so much effort? Why not just build ports and cities..."

"I don't understand what these fishmen are going to do. What is our mission?"

"Are you just going to stay where you are? Why not go back and kill the fishmen..."

"If you don't understand, just obey the orders obediently. Marshal Lothar has already given instructions before coming here."

"Let's take a look again. Lord Matthew from the Bay Territory is here..."

"..."

Xiao Jixiang, who was leading a team for the first time, blinked playfully after listening to the chatter of these Kingdom of Lordaeron personnel, and said to himself calmly:

“If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.”

She met Anna's confused gaze and explained with a smile:

"This will be our base for recruiting fishmen, cultivating water monsters, planting magic aquatic plants, and cultivating magic pearls."

"We will take this as the center and gradually advance to other waters."

"It will be a little slow at the beginning, but with the accumulation of experience, the collection of resources, and the increase of manpower, the speed will become faster and faster."

"In the end, we will be able to clear all the dangers in the waters and gain many production and resource bases."

While saying this, Xiao Jixiang took out a shining golden pearl and handed it to Anna who was in a daze with a smile.

Anna felt the surging magic power and the unique vitality on the golden pearl, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Is this a golden pearl? A rare material that can be used to make Ain gems and produce super-level magic weapons and armors?"

Xiao Jixiang smiled and nodded, recalling the words taught to her by Teacher Alona, ​​and said without thinking:

"Yes, these are the golden pearls produced in our Gulf Territory, and they are also one of the harvests of these underwater production bases in the future."

"Those pebbles just scattered are the magic clams cultivated by our Gulf Territory."

"Under our protection, they can grow up without worries. The golden pearls are our reward."

"Each golden pearl like this is worth 2,000 gold coins. If it is processed with magic, the value will become even higher."

"If we in the Gulf Territory alone want to carry out large-scale production and construction in the entire Mississippi River Basin, it will take a long time and a lot of resources."

"With the help of nearby lords and nobles, we can complete the task earlier."

Hearing about the birth of the golden pearl and its shocking price, Anna felt unspeakable envy and even the slightest bit of excitement in her heart.

But after hearing Xiao Jixiang's words, the smart Anna immediately realized that this was another method of the Gulf Territory.

When the news that these underwater bases could produce golden pearls spread throughout the Mississippi River Basin.

The surrounding lords and nobles will definitely be more than happy to "help".

Presumably, this is also a situation deliberately created by the Gulf Territory!

Thinking of this, Anna couldn't help but feel a little enlightened.

A seemingly simple plan from the Gulf Territory can solve a problem that the Kingdom of Lordaeron has been unable to solve for hundreds of thousands of years.

Easily get most lords and nobles to agree on one thing!

Anna even thought more. If the Gulf Territory was willing, after forming binding relationships with many nobles and lords, it would most likely have a greater say than the royal family of Lordaeron!

Such an exaggerated situation is very likely to become reality!

Anna thought very well, and the situation developed rapidly as she imagined.

The lords and nobles learned about the situation through the sudden increase in newspapers and various channels.

They all burst out with unimaginable enthusiasm and sent people to contact the Gulf Territory to see if they could cooperate in various parts of the Mississippi River Basin.

The Gulf Territory agreed to their request and offered relatively generous terms.

"You provide people and materials, and the Gulf provides technology and gold coins."

"Both parties jointly build the underwater base, and both parties can obtain 50% of the golden pearl output!"

As soon as I heard that the Gulf leaders were willing to pay to hire everyone to "work", they would build a gold pearl production factory that would make everyone rich.

Which lord and noble would disagree with such cooperation?

So, in just a few days.

A large number of people and construction sites appeared throughout the Mississippi River Basin.

In addition to building a large-scale underwater production base, some warehouses or docks should also be built in the adjacent area.

The temptation of the golden pearl easily captured almost the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron.

The real purpose of the Gulf Territory makes many people extremely wary!

The Cole Elf Kingdom, which has been thinking about how to cause trouble, looked longingly at the newly built underwater base in the distance.

The accompanying elf mage can keenly feel that a lot of the elemental energy around him has been absorbed by it.

The Cole elf mage who is familiar with the Myth Lock naturally understands what this situation means.

Weaken the attacker's spell effects and enhance your own defense.

This is somewhat similar to the energy reaction of the Mystery Lock, which makes Cole Elf Mage somewhat unpredictable.

The Gulf Territory had just acquired the basic technology for making mythical locks, and was it immediately widely used?

"Should we take action?"

"Have you seen the dragon knight in the sky? I can't run away anyway."

"What's the use of destroying one or two? The Gulf Territory moved too fast. The nobles and lords of the Kingdom of Lordaeron are completely unable to withstand their generosity."

"The Gulf Territory can actually manipulate fish people to "work" for them? How come we didn't know this before?"

"The Gulf Territory has a huge appetite and will transform any intelligent creature that is willing to accept change."

"They don't even spare kobolds. Whenever the Gulf Territory recruits a group of demons to help them work, I probably won't be surprised."

"It's best not to mention this thing. The situation in the New World is not very good."

"If you ask me, it is the last word to withdraw from the New World as soon as possible. If you continue to delay, the losses will become bigger and bigger."

"This has nothing to do with us. We just need to keep an eye on the Gulf Territory's actions here. No one should make their own decisions."

"That's right, the guys in the Shadow Council won't take action, so we shouldn't take it too seriously..."

"Just wait and see the good show, Naga is not easy to deal with!"

"I hope these Nagas can put some pressure on the Gulf leaders and spread their troops and manpower more."

"..."

A lot can be gleaned from the exchanges between Cole Elf personnel.

They no longer have much confidence in containing the Gulf Territory through force and attacks.

Now, they hope to deal with the powerful enemies like before.

While promoting their development, various stumbling blocks are used in overt and covert ways.

At the same time, they will also learn silently and absorb the strengths and advantages of others.

Wait for the opponent to show weakness, then use various means to weaken and suppress it, and finally dismember and devour it.

They have solved many enemies and threats through the self-comfort of "long-term thinking".

But facing the completely different Gulf Territory, they always felt a little panicked.

So, they watched helplessly as one underwater base after another was completed.

More and more murlocs were recruited and absorbed by Bobo's team.

The remaining murlocs in the Mississippi River fell into a very cheerful "cannibalism".

Murlocs are such creatures. They will re-select their leaders in the process of killing each other.

It won't be long before these fishmen will turn into small tribes or groups one after another.

Bobo didn't give them this chance.

He handed over the task of expanding the underwater base to the Gulf Territory staff who arrived one after another.

He happily led the dragon-born murloc team to clean up and subdue the surrounding murlocs.

He did not kill the strongest murlocs first like he had done with other competitors before, but left them open.

Facing the confused Xiao Jixiang and Anna, a very happy Bobo gave his own explanation and theory.

"The vast majority of fish people are relatively stupid. At least in their generation, it is difficult for individuals with higher intelligence to appear."

"Therefore, while ensuring that most fishmen can survive, they must be selected and cultivated."

"These fishmen are just a little smart now, not really smart."

"After they learn what they are living for, and have better abilities and firm will, they will be eligible for dragon blood baptism."

"At that time, they will have the basis for gaining true wisdom..."

"This is a painful process and a growing process."

This interesting words came from the mouth of Bobo, the fish-man, and gave Anna a special and weird feeling.

As a relatively "traditional" mage, she is not as deviant as the arcanist.

But many intelligent creatures and individuals also have a "sense of immediate vision" when looking at experimental materials.

If she doesn't clap her hands and throw a fireball because she doesn't like it, Anna has a peaceful personality.

She was usually attracted by the power of arcanists, but she did not dare to compliment them on their "contemptuous" character.

This sentence has always been circulated in the ancient mage inheritance.

"Those who do not have awe will eventually lose themselves in madness."

Even if many arcanists decide not to be human anymore, they probably won't be able to escape this ending.

However, Anna is still a little confused about the methods and practices of the Gulf Territory.

One underwater base after another was built.

More and more fish people are living in it.

She looked at the work tasks of these fishmen, and the corners of her eyes twitched involuntarily. She pointed at the fishmen who were pruning aquatic plants and algae and asked:

"Is this part of the transformation? What's the use of this?"

Xiao Jixiang blinked, and while recording various data, he replied slightly cheerfully:

"This is the purpose of territorial transformation, so that they can learn to better support themselves instead of just killing or plundering."

Let the fishmen feed themselves?

By planting these aquatic plants?

Anna, who was a little confused about this situation, quickly received Xiao Jixiang's rigorous analysis and explanation:

"This is a special magical plant with relatively high nutritional value, especially for fish people."

"The fishmen who eat it will grow stronger and faster."

"With them, the amount of food the fishmen need will be greatly reduced."

"In the same area, more fishmen can survive."

"Moreover, these cultivated in the base are just seedlings. In the future, they will be matched with several kinds of magical plants and spread throughout the Mississippi River Basin."

"Through this transformation, we can obtain more magic materials and raise more magic creatures."

"..."

After hearing this, Anna could clearly sense that the transformation of the Gulf Territory was intertwined with various plans.

Bay collars bring it out, highlighting their boldness and confidence.

Anna vaguely felt that the reason why the Gulf Territory behaved in such a high-profile manner must have some special purpose.

Gently patting Lao Liu's head, Bobo said confidently:

"Hey, it won't be long before more swamp giant crocodiles appear in the Mississippi River."

"By that time, we should be able to pick out more potential stocks."

After hearing this, Lao Liu wagged his tail happily, his huge body glided quickly on the water, and happily slid towards the estuary.

There, a more intense battle was going on.

Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Cold water port.

The roar of artillery fire one after another gave Anna a strange feeling.

It has only been a few days, but the Gulf Territory has already done a lot of things.

Even if the Gulf Territory has not been completely resolved, the fishmen of the Mississippi River.

Anna, who may have deduced the development of the matter, looked at the many underwater bases and the armies of various lords in action along the way, and already understood that the murlocs were basically unable to make a big impact.

This made Anna feel unspeakably "tangled".

She didn't know that the "too much" given by the Gulf Territory made many lords and nobles cooperate so well.

Or the royal family of Lordaeron gave him "too little" to be able to command the lords and nobles smoothly.

She couldn't think about this problem for the time being, but she could feel it very clearly.

The efficiency of the Gulf Territory is astonishing, and it has a mature and very efficient plan and means.

If she can learn from it, Anna feels that her territory can grow a lot...

Boom!

The iconic sound of the mechanical flying dragon immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Looking at the large sea of ​​​​fire on the beach, Anna couldn't help but blink, and immediately understood Naga's battle plan and ultimate goal.

As long as we can capture the port and estuary, we can follow the Mississippi River deep into the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

The Naga army can quickly mobilize to any area and deal a devastating blow to all enemies who dare to resist.

However, the situation of these Naga troops in front of them seems a bit strange.

Knowing that attacking the port was a dead end, they still rushed forward one after another.

Obviously the terrain along the coast is relatively flat, but they are unwilling to control the fish and sea monsters, bypassing the port and entering the Mississippi River.

Seeing a large number of fishmen being killed, Anna's doubts became more and more.

"Is there any conspiracy in this?"

Matthew, standing on the city wall, looked at the corpses piled up on the beach and raised his eyebrows with interest.

Except that the Naga army was more cautious on the first day and did not continue to attack.

In the next few days, nearly 100,000 murlocs were killed every day by the bombings of the mechanical flying dragons.

When Matthew is happy about the rapid growth of the power of destiny, he will naturally think more about it.

Naga couldn't wait to let these fishmen die.

Is it to reduce the number of fishmen?

To fight a protracted war of attrition?

After Matthew accumulated 50 million destiny power.

While he was reasoning and researching the 9th surgical transformation.

While conducting further exploration into the specific situation of Naga.

Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger!

You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.

After a brief defeat in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Naga army quickly continued to advance north along the coastline.

Several small countries along the way.

Several port cities have been captured by the Naga army.

The murlocs who followed the waters to the inland area and killed them even more devastated their inland cities.

Moreover, news came from the west coast of the northern continent that a large Naga army had launched a large-scale attack there.

Therefore, Naga's huge appetite and huge military power beyond Matthew's imagination made the opponent's seemingly brainless "send death" seem ordinary.

However, it was beyond Matthew's expectation.

According to the news coming from various places in the Gulf Territory, there was no trace of Naga coming ashore.

It seems that Naga just wants to drive away the fishmen and harass the northern continent.

Or maybe they are picking suitable targets.

Of course, it's also possible that Naga is looking for something!

However, Matthew could tell.

With the arrival of the Naga army, a more intense battle will break out sooner or later.

Matthew was supposed to return to the Gulf Territory. The reason why he stayed here was mainly to receive the Gulf Territory fleet coming down from the north.

The troubles and dangers brought by Naga have begun to seriously affect the trade routes along the coast of the northern continent.

The Naga army, which can attack from underwater, is a very deadly threat to most fleets.

Even the magic warships in the Gulf Territory have developed new weapons to deal with underwater enemies.

Matthew was still a little worried, so he naturally had to take careful care of him.

After all, although the Gulf Territory is developing rapidly, the cultivation of talents cannot keep up.

These first batch of warships are all the elites of the Gulf Navy.

No room for error!

Sure enough, just as the soldiers of Lordaeron were cleaning up the battlefield on the beach.

The information that the Gulf Territory support fleet encountered a large number of enemies also reached Matthew's hands.

Matthew did not hesitate, took Bobo and a group of people who came over, mounted the flying dragon, and quickly flew towards the sea.

Marshal Lothar hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not follow.

Although he was curious about the strength of the Gulf Territory, he did not dare to take the Naga army lightly.

Instead, Mage Anthony followed, looking curiously at the very "gentle" flying dragon.

Why is Feilong said to be gentle?

Because, in the eyes of most mages, the flying dragon is very barbaric and has no intelligence. It is curiously saying hello to Anthony:

"How are you, Mr. Mage?"

"My flying speed is a bit fast. You can strengthen the airflow shield to make it more comfortable."

"Also, if you encounter an enemy later, don't rush to take action, we will solve it!"

Listen!

So gentle!

So polite!

Anthony felt that if he closed his eyes.

He must be communicating with a gentle and graceful knight.

Of course, Anthony didn't worry too much about this. He was immediately attracted by the flying dragon's strong physique and magical energy that far exceeded other flying dragons.

He felt Feilong's skillful manipulation of various magic devices and spells, and a ridiculous idea came to his mind.

"Could it be that the Gulf Territory not only made these flying dragons smarter and stronger."

"You also taught these flying dragons how to cast spells?"

This is so...exciting!

Just when this super mage was thinking about having a good exchange with Feilong and "extracting" some useful information.

Suddenly, waves of terrifying "elemental" riots came from the distance!

Who is casting the spell?

And it’s a legendary spell!

Matthew, who was flying at the front, relied on his amazing eyesight to see what was happening on the sea in the distance.

A giant tsunami containing terrifying power, controlled by a legendary Leviathan, struck at the black fish people.

However, a bright golden light ripped apart the tens of meters high wave and split it in half.

"Destroy the legendary spell head-on!"

"So brave!"

"Who is taking action?"
