After calling the player

==================

Eric is going to hold a meeting to discuss the inexplicable death of the king rank Zerg, and brainstorm.

There were a lot of creatures participating in the meeting. Basically, he felt that those who could be involved in this matter, or were useful, made them put down their tasks and come to the meeting.

First of all, the relatives of the victim, Xinghaidie's family, Mr. Mantis, and Emma and other six Woods bumblebees.

The Xinghaidie couple and Mr. Mantis basically told him what they knew before, but Eric felt that maybe they could recall more details that they thought were unimportant or irrelevant when they listened to Emma and the others. , Besides, they should have the right to know no matter what.

The second is the dwarf Mark, who is considered to be the relevant person of the small wooden box. The current samples are still too small. There is no way to judge whether the killing of the king-rank Zerg has anything to do with the small wooden box. If it cannot be completely ruled out, it must be taken into consideration.

Vincent and Clara, who are Eric's confidantes, must be brought along.Clara is the oldest creature present, and knows a lot of past stories, so she might have some special associations.

Goliath, Charlemagne, and Clark, these three humans are not good people, maybe we can provide them with different ideas.

To be reasonable, if it is true that foreigners hunted and killed their king-rank Zerg, Eric thinks that humans probably did it, because the relationship between humans and them is the most unfriendly, and one day they suddenly fight, Eric will not will feel strange.

Fink and Dragonfly Brothers can be regarded as representatives of their respective races, and Weiwei can barely be considered in this category. After he followed them at a loss, he consciously found a corner to cat.

Even for the human craftsmen, Eric found the most idle blacksmith who had nothing to do and could only help others and was always disliked to come and listen.

Eric sent a large storage room out to serve as a meeting place, and temporarily moved all the tables and chairs from the cafeteria to make do with it.

On the wall of the storage room is a simple map of the Kokaya Empire, which was drawn by Eric before other creatures came. Although he does not have the skills in this area, he can let the system project the map onto the wall , and he traced it again.

Now, this map comes in handy.

Eric first briefly told everyone about the inexplicable death of the king-rank Zerg, and there seems to be a dedicated hunter, and then asked Mr. Mantis and Emma to map the places where the mantis brothers and their queen died. Check it out and put the time on it.

Emma didn't know when the queen of the Hornets tribe died, but she heard them mention the location of their original tribe, so she also marked it.

Neither the time nor the place of death of the Star Sea Butterfly Adonis could be determined. Eric only wrote his name next to the map and put a question mark on it.

"It's happened at least four times..." Eric sighed.

Dragonfly's younger brother Lynn raised his hand suddenly, and shyly withdrew his hand after all the creatures looked at him.

Eric encouraged him gently: "Do you have anything to say?"

"Maybe five times." Lynn tugged at the corner of his brother George's clothes, "Brother, do you remember? When we went to an ant tribe to apply for a job, it was very chaotic and we were almost attacked. When I went to the bathroom, I overheard the conversation of the tribe members, and what they said at the time was to find the murderer who killed the queen."

He said that George also had an impression, but he was very uncertain: "But it is not necessarily the same way of death, the same murderer."

If it wasn't so embarrassing, it might mislead other creatures.

Eric thought it was probably the same kind of victim.

Still the same sentence, how can the king rank Zerg die so easily?Especially the guards of the ant tribe will only be stricter.

Eric asked them to mark the location of the tribe and the time at that time on the map. Of course, in order to be more rigorous, there was a question mark next to it, indicating that it was uncertain.

The distribution of cross marks on the map is not regular, and it is hard to see how the hunters choose their targets.

The relatives of the victims communicated with each other, and found that the victims had nothing in common except that they were all king-rank Zerg, and their gender, hobbies, strengths, and personalities were completely different.

Mr. Mantis asked Emma unwillingly: "The moment your queen died, did your guards really not notice any abnormalities? Didn't they even see the shadow of a murderer?"

Emma shook her head: "Actually, we don't even know when the queen died. By the time we find out, the murderer may have slipped away."

The Zergs present were basically surprised, and Clara asked directly: "Why? When she died, the spiritual link should be broken. Don't you all feel it?"

Emma sighed: "This is the strangest place. The spiritual link has never been broken. At noon the next day, Her Majesty Maria still didn't get up. Her husband wanted to ask her to eat, but she couldn't wake up. Only then did we find that she had no heartbeat or breathing. At first we refused to believe that she was dead, but it was summer, and her body began to rot not long after. We had no choice but to put her in the biological pool , held a funeral for her. The spiritual link was suddenly disconnected after about two months."

With horror on Mark's face, he blurted out: "Isn't that the flesh/body dies before the spirit?"

Without waiting for other people to ask, Mark shook his head again and again, emphasizing again and again: "This has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with our dwarves in the Mojin Alliance. We are good dwarfs and never do such things. .”

I have never seen such a rush to blew myself up, and I was afraid that others would think that I was not suspected, so the other creatures present were dumbfounded.

Some people with darker hearts and a lot of thoughts have gone through all kinds of conspiracies in their minds.

Goliath coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Master Mark, this matter is of great importance, and please tell me everything you know that may be related to this matter. You must not hide anything, after all What you can know, others can know too. If the enemy reveals it, you will not be able to tell, maybe the enemy just wants to sow discord and push you dwarves as scapegoats."

"Let me think about how to say it..." Mark curled up on his mobility machine, and adjusted his sitting posture a little uneasily.

"That's right, we dwarves don't have a natural increase in mental strength, so we can't cast any magic. Our physical fitness is not strong, and we have been bullied by other races until we believe in the God of Mechanics and rely on various machines. Turn over."

"However, it is still inconvenient to have no magic, so later pioneers cooperated with other races, combining machinery and runes, and invented various alchemy products. However, the restrictions on alchemy products are still quite large, and we dwarves can only use some spiritual power. Products that are not demanding, but races like humans are even more powerful after obtaining alchemy products."

"Some of our clansmen feel unbalanced. They propose to create "living" alchemy products. That is to catch other creatures with high spiritual power, let them be in a state of death but their souls are not dead, and then fix them on the alchemy products , Use their spiritual power to drive the product, so that we can solve the problem of our dwarves."

"After all, this method is rather cruel. Even if it is monsters that are caught, some people will not see it. And as long as this kind of thing starts, it may get out of control later. At the beginning, it is possible to catch monsters, but in the end, it must be Whichever is the easiest to catch, and whichever is the most convenient to use, intelligent creatures are definitely easier to deal with than monsters, and their spiritual power is also higher. Therefore, many people in the tribe opposed this idea at the time."

"The people who agree and those who oppose are almost evenly divided. The two sides quarreled fiercely, and even fought a few times. It seemed that that time was just in time for the war between the gods. The God of Mechanics didn't have the energy to control us. The clan split into two parts."

"Good dwarves like us who insisted on following the right path later formed the Mo Jin Alliance with the good people of the dwarves and goblins. Those bad dwarves finally broke out in a war with humans, and disappeared after losing. Genocide."

Mark sighed at this point: "Oh, the timing was wrong to catch up with God War, otherwise, with the oracle issued by the God of Mechanics, they would not go astray."

Goliath: "Are you sure your Mechanic God is on your side?"

Mark: "Of course, the God of Mechanics issued an oracle to us after the battle of the gods. Moreover, he also gave us a hint later, so that we can simulate mental power on the machine without this evil method. "

"We have studied this method for thousands of years before we finally figured out this method. If you don't believe me, you can go back to my studio with me to have a look. My walking machine uses this technology of simulating mental power, plus our dwarves Unusable storage space. So we gnomes are definitely not doing this kind of thing, we don't have to do this kind of thing."

Mark thought for a while, and then added: "Anyway, it's definitely not the dwarves of our Mojin Alliance. I don't know whether those dwarfs who study evil methods are still alive, or whether there are humans who are studying them according to their ideas. Now, we have to ask the group of humans who chased and killed them back then."

Goliath asked: "Why can it only be humans? Did they catch humans for research in the end?"

Mark: "Yes, let's catch human mages. After all, they have strong mental power, but they have no combat power when they are close. It is very convenient to catch them in a sneak attack. Just use materials with high magic resistance to make machines."

Goliath, Charlemagne, and Clark murmured inwardly at the same time, couldn't it really be done by humans?

In that case, they may have a difficult life in the tribe in the future, and they will be easily angered when it comes to racial disputes.

However, no matter whether it is to destroy the group of dwarfs and seize their materials for their own research, or to secretly gather the group of dwarfs to let them continue to study, it is something that humans can do. In his hand, maybe he can create a weapon that can easily overturn the situation of the battle.

Eric also thought of this, and confirmed with Mark: "That is to say, those dwarves didn't choose Zerg as their target, right?"

Mark recalled it for a while, and said affirmatively: "No. That was a long time ago. At that time, there was no Kokaya evolution, and naturally there were no Zerg."

"Hey?" This was a bit different from what Eric thought, and he couldn't help asking, "Has it taken you so long to research a method to extract the spiritual power of creatures? It's been thousands of years, and it's only now that you start to act." ?”

Mark rolled his eyes vaguely: "This is not something that can be thought of with a slap on the head. It needs the hard work of generations and thousands of experiments, okay?"

"It's also possible that there was a method before, but there was no urgent need to use it until now." Charlemagne was very worried, "Maybe the situation in the world will change next, and there will be another large-scale war."

"In short, what I'm talking about is the history written in our gnome's exhibition hall. Every gnome knows these things, and races that have a good relationship with us like goblins and dwarves also know it. Those races with a long history should also have relevant records. , even if it’s not so detailed, you can get a rough idea.” Mark once again emphasized their innocence, and he caught a glimpse of a few humans who obviously knew nothing about the matter, and he added straightforwardly, “I mean, except for those who are like humans. A race that likes to tamper with history."
