"It turns out to be Lord Daxia!" Seeing the very familiar pioneer scepter in Xia Duo's hand, the mage immediately saluted with a very respectful attitude, "Mars, the mage consultant of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, has met Lord Xia Duo."
Do you recognize me? A flicker of doubt flashed through Chateau's mind, but he did not hesitate and invited Mars on board to talk, and Mars did not refuse.
After briefly chatting, testing, and confirming each other's identities, Sha Duo directly asked the other party about the purpose of staying in Lake Macht, "Master Mars, as far as I know, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce probably doesn't have much business in Lake Macht. I don't know.
——”
Mars was also having doubts. He just received a magic signal and didn't know what was going on here. When Sha Duo asked about this, he didn't hide it:
"Lord Shado, this matter is not a secret. Mr. Horn of Jilan Tower once raised a group of fishmen in Lake Macht, and then entrusted our Chamber of Commerce to take care of it, and he came here every year to collect some mucus from the fishmen.
.”
"oh?"
It was actually related to the Great Arcanist. This was something Xia Duo didn't expect. Obviously, the fishmen here all had their own owners, and they probably wouldn't let him clean them up. After thinking about it, he revealed his original plan:
"Mage Mars, when my fleet headed from here to Severton some time ago, it encountered a group of murloc bandits. This time I came with me. I was originally going to clean up the murlocs here. Now look
Come--"
"The Murloc Bandit?!"
Mars was not surprised because Shado wanted to clean up the murlocs. Instead, he was frightened by the "murloc robbers" that Shado called. He quickly asked: "Lord Shado, are you sure your fleet encountered an enemy here?"
Arrived at the Murloc Bandits?"
"I'm sure!" Although he did not pass the lie detection spell, Xia Duo could not think of any reason for Irving and the others to deceive him. Moreover, the composition of the people on the ship was complex, making it almost impossible to completely collude in confession.
Hearing Sha Duo's confirmation, Mars suddenly had an anxious look on his face. If he wasn't on Sha Duo's ship, he would have wanted to leave immediately and go to investigate.
Seeing the strange look on Mars's face, Sha Duo couldn't help but ask: "Master Mars, is there something wrong with this murloc bandit? I heard from my men that there may be a murloc caster inside."
"Spellcaster?!"
Mars's face became even worse. He knew something was wrong, so he said goodbye to Sha Duo, "Lord Sha Duo, I shouldn't have been so rude, but now I have to go back to the ship and use the communication equipment on the ship to report to the Chamber of Commerce.
Report the situation here."
Before leaving, Mars said again, "Perhaps Lord Chateau's original plan can continue."
Original plan? Continue?
Xia Duo muttered the two words that Mars mentioned before leaving, and he had some guesses in his mind. Maybe the fishmen raised by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce were out of control?
As for the other reasons, Mars would not be shocked when he heard the names of the murloc bandits and murloc casters.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo let the fleet continue fishing. Even if he didn't clean up most of the murlocs, it shouldn't be a problem to "catch" a murloc for a look. He also wanted to see the murlocs in the main plane and the [Azure Plane]
] What’s the difference between the fishmen!
However, his idea was soon satisfied. Mars drove the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's big ship over. On the bow of the big ship, densely packed fishmen were quietly following.
Like a large body of corpses floating on the water, it was dragged by the big ship to the vicinity of the Chateau fleet.
"Is this the fishman from the main plane?" Sha Duo murmured.
Comparing the two types of murlocs seen in the [Azure Plane], if we only look at the appearance, whether it is the murlocs from the main plane or the murlocs from the [Azure Plane], in addition to details such as color and scale distribution,
Differences, overall they look almost the same.
A fish head, a fish body, and webbed hands and feet are the fish-men.
But the two kinds of murlocs in the [Blue Crystal Plane] are much stronger than the "murloc corpses" floating around the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce ship at this time.
"Perhaps this is the difference between farmed and wild animals!" Xia Duo could only guess.
But what does Mars mean by bringing the ship over?
Just as he was thinking about the other party's intentions, Mars flew over again, "Lord Xia Duo, I have informed the Chamber of Commerce of the situation here. The Chamber of Commerce sent an archmage consultant to resolve the matter, but that lord is specialized in
I am not good at searching and detecting psychic spells. I heard that Lord Shado has advanced to the rank of Arcanist, so the Chamber of Commerce ordered me to seek help from you."
"Ask me for help?"
Xia Duo smiled. He did have a plan to clean up the fishmen, but that didn't mean he had to help the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. Of course, it didn't matter if he helped, but you shouldn't just ask for help in vain.
Seeing what Xia Duo meant, Mars immediately promised, "If Lord Xia Duo is willing to help, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is willing to cooperate more comprehensively with the Daxia Territory and the Saville Territory."
Upon hearing this, Xia Duo couldn't help laughing. Was there any comprehensive cooperation before? Let's not talk about the Saville Territory for the time being. With the Great Xia Territory like it is now, what kind of cooperation can there be?
Is it possible that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce can also use cargo ships to help him transport new citizens?
The sincerity is a little lacking, but it is understandable for the big chamber of commerce. He probably knows his identity as a pioneer, and it is crucial to have a big chamber of commerce in Severington to help him, or at least not to cause trouble.
After thinking about the mysterious and unpredictable background of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo readily agreed, "Yes, I am looking forward to cooperating with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. But what exactly is this matter? I would like Master Mars to introduce it in detail."
one time."
"It's my fault, I forgot to explain the situation." Mars immediately showed an apologetic expression, and at the same time told the inside story of the matter——
"Lord Xia Duo, didn't I just say that the murlocs here were entrusted by Lord Horn of Jilan Tower to be bred by our Chamber of Commerce. Of course, our Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to the entrustment of the Grand Arcanist and has made full guarantees.
The murlocs are confined to Lake Macht, and apart from the occasional murloc sneaking out in recent years, nothing major has happened."
Mars pointed to a statue hanging under the bow of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's big ship and said: "Lord Chateau, please see, as of now, most of the murlocs here are actually still under the control of our Chamber of Commerce."
Sha Duo saw the statue, which was an image of a fish-man. Of course, the most important thing was that the statue was a magic item, exuding a strong magical aura, which was almost as strong as the pioneer scepter in his hand.
This was observed from a distance. If you compare it closer, it is obvious that the statue is stronger.
This thing should be the controller of the fishmen of Lake Macht, which turns the jumping fishmen into floating objects on the water surface like dead corpses.
Mars continued to explain, "The fishmen here have been specially treated and have no normal intelligence. They are only similar to wild beasts. Theoretically, it is impossible for bandits to appear, let alone spellcasters. So when I heard that there were
After seeing the fish-man robbers, I guessed that something might have happened here."
"So that's it!" Xia Duo was a little surprised, but he guessed that the wisdom of fishmen should not have happened recently. There are often legends of fishmen in Savile Territory. Although it is rare, does this mean that there were fishmen very early on?
Has wisdom slipped out?
Of course, it is also possible that he slipped out due to an accident due to lack of wisdom.
