"Wait......" Malone looked at Salad and said, "You just said that the same situation still depends on talent?" ”

"yes!" Salad was a little strange and said, "You all know all this, right?" ”

Ma Long sorted out his thoughts, looked at the table in his hand, and his brain was running rapidly: "We all seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding, thinking that the conditions that cause the awakening of wizards are all 100% successful, even if it is not 100%, it is a high probability event!"

This is the illusion given to us by the successive awakenings of wizards, in fact, this may be selecting, selecting people with potential, and the other party may be casting a net on a large scale.

"Those newly awakened wizards already have talent, but they are just one hammer away, and what we are talking about now is this hammer!"

"Harvey, you go down and arrange people to conduct a large-scale investigation, especially in terms of food, you must find out, otherwise this New Year will be unstable!"

Harvey promised, "I'll arrange it later." ”

Ma Long turned his head to Sala again and said, "You have a few wizards and full cooperation, ordinary people alone may not be complete!" ”

"Hmm!" Sarah nodded vigorously.

…………

It was a bumper year for the ordinary people of the Black Stone Collar.

Low taxes, caravanserais, brought them good income.

However, for the few high-level people who are in the know, they are always on guard against possible sudden situations and dare not be careless at all.

The heat of the New Year's festival also makes it difficult for them to relax.

The thorough investigation has not been going well, mainly in terms of food, and has not been as successful as they wanted.

If the truth does not appear for a day, the hearts of several people cannot be realized.

It's a pity that Marlon can't put all his energy into this matter, and there are other things in the entire territory that need to be presided over by him.

After the New Year with trepidation, he was busy with the routine affairs of the territory.

Go to various subordinate villages to inspect and arrange for dwarves to conduct so-called technical exchanges.

I have to go to the temple to see how they learn the Light......

But no matter how busy he is, Malone has a very high interest in the action of inquiring about the cause of the wizard.

Anything related to wizards is not a trivial matter, even if it is not a big thing, if it is not dealt with in a lawless way, it can become a big thing!

"Brother, I found the reason, what's the reward?"

Some time after the New Year, the salad rushed into Marlon's room.

"What is the reason?" There is no head and no brain, and Malone doesn't know what she said.

However, after asking the question, he immediately reacted: "You mean about the frequent awakening of wizards?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiaomei nodded and said, "I found it, how can you reward me?" ”

"Ha ......" Ma Long's nerves that have collapsed for almost two months can't help but relax, looking at the salad like this, and being in the mood to ask for rewards, it is obviously not a big problem.

At the moment, he also said easily: "What do you want?" ”

At the same time, he greeted the guard at the door, "Go and call Illya and Harvey...... They came for a meeting. ”

"Humph!" Sala snorted, "You don't pay attention to it at all!" ”

"How so?" Marlon shouted, "You say, what do you want?" As long as I can do it, absolutely no problem! ”

"Humph! That's pretty much it. She hesitated, "Well, I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I'm done." ”

Malone smiled and said, "Give me this hand again?" Okay, for the sake of your meritorious service, tell me after thinking about it, it will definitely satisfy you! ”

The things that have been worried about have come to an eyebrow, and it is difficult for Malone to relax his spirits, and he doesn't mind joking with his little sister.

While he was talking and laughing, after a while, the guards brought everyone in.

After everyone sat down in turn, Malone nodded to Salad, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to herself, Sala spoke: "I went to look for Angela this morning, and I accidentally saw their fish tank, which contained an octopus with extremely vague magic fluctuations.

"It's special, I've never seen anything like it, chaotic, tyrannical, and something else......"

"Getting to the point." Malone knocked on the table and said.

"Isn't that afraid that you won't understand?" Interrupted by Marlon, Sarah was dissatisfied.

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, she said helplessly: "Okay, then it's simple: I found out that the situation was wrong, so I asked Angela's father Horn."

"He told me that he had caught the fish from the Jewel Lake and was going to use it for dinner!"

"Is that all?" Ma Huilong asked.

"That's all, I'm not in a hurry to come back and tell you!" The salad was a little angry.

"Okay, don't be angry, it's me who is wrong, okay......" is another apology, another apology, and finally coaxed the little girl.

"So, that fish is the key?"

Ma Long glanced at several people and said, "Let's go, let's go and see it now!" ”

The crowd got up and walked out of the house, and several knights on duty followed.

The group came to the door of Horn's house, and the retired soldiers who heard the movement came out from afar.

"Your Lord!"

Malone nodded, "Let's take a look at that octopus." ”

"Follow me!" Horn leads the way.

As he walked, he introduced, "I have moved the other fish in the fish tank to other places, and now there is only this one, and it ...... Any questions? ”

"Let's see!"

A few people looked carefully around the fish tank, which was a clay jar fired locally by Heishiling, and most people used it to hold water.

It was used to hold fish in Horn's house, but it was nothing to do.

With less than half a tank of water, a small octopus floats and spews, spitting bubbles from time to time.

When he saw the crowd coming, he shrank his head and entered the water.

It's a pity that the water tank is not big and there is not much water, but it has nowhere to escape.

Malone turned his head and asked Salad, "Is this the one?" ”

"Hmm!" Salad nodded and confirmed: "It's this one, the magic on its body is very vague, but there is an inexplicable chaos, very peculiar!" ”

It's really very subtle, and with Ma Long's ability, it's almost impossible to feel it, and if it weren't for Salad's repeated confirmation, he would definitely ignore the past.

"This fish was caught in Gem Lake?" Malone asked Horn.

"Yes, during the war last year, I couldn't find one of my legs, and after I retired, I was placed in Baobao Lake with two other comrades-in-arms to fish." He looked at Harvey, who was following behind Ma Long, and said, "This errand was personally arranged by Lord Harvey. ”

"That's true." Harvey explained to Malone: "We didn't have the experience of placing retired personnel at the beginning, and the whole kingdom has nothing to learn from, so I asked you." ”

Ma Long nodded and said, "I know this, I just want to ask if there are many such octopus gem lakes?" How many did you sell? ”

"Not much." Horn pondered: "The octopus in the lake is not easy to catch, there were only a few dozen of them last year, and all of them were sold except for a few that I ate.

"The appearance of this fish is a little disgusting, the characteristics are obvious, and there are not many people who buy it, so I remember it very clearly......"
