At this time, Hulala ran over a group of soldiers, and the leader of the first squad saw that he was talking about things here, so he didn't dare to make too much noise, and made a gesture to stop the team members.

He trotted to Harvey and whispered.

Harvey looked at Malone after listening.

"How?" Without waiting for him to speak, Malone asked directly.

"I've asked everything, all the people who have become wizards have eaten octopus in their families before, and there is no exception!"

After a pause, he continued: "It's just that the time is not necessarily, some people ate the night before the awakening, and some people ate a week ago, or even longer!" ”

Ma Long bowed slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "Is there still an incubation period?" ”

Turning and looking to the west, he ordered the people, "Go, go to the lake." ”

As he spoke, he rolled over on the horse's back, his heel lightly knocked on the horse's belly, and the red rabbit rushed out.

Behind him, everyone looked at each other and hurriedly rode their horses to follow......

The lake that Malone is talking about is the Jewel Lake.

Originally just a spring, it has been used as the source of water for Blackstone Fort for thousands of years.

A great battle decades ago, the magic of chaos exploded it, and it became what it is now as the Gem Lake.

Blackstone was built here, and it became the main source of water.

Originally, in order to ensure that it was not polluted, no one was allowed to come to fish.

When the retired soldiers were placed, they didn't find a suitable position for a while, so they asked a few people to fish here, but they didn't expect this to happen.

The lake is quiet and quiet, rippling slightly in the breeze, there is no river surge, and it is not as good as the waves of the sea, but it has its own power to calm people's hearts!

The group stood by the lake, carefully observed, but could not see anything.

Even with Ma Long's eyesight and perception, it is not very useful to go underwater.

Without his command, Harvey arranged for a few knights who knew how to take off their armor and jump down with a poof, a poof.

Calmly, the surface of the water suddenly ripples, and the sun folds and shines, dazzling the eyes.

The rest are on the shore, waiting for the result.

Ma Long did not go into the water, with the development of the territory, the talents in all aspects have gradually become richer, and he does not need to do everything himself!

The few people who went into the water were all knights, their strength was not weak, they held their breath for a long time, and they would not come up for a while.

Taking advantage of the time, Malone asked the little sister beside him, "Why does the octopus have magic on it?" And live in fresh water? ”

Hearing Malone's question, Sara pondered the possibilities, "There may be some kind of magical object below, which was accidentally contaminated by an octopus, and the magic on their body does not belong to itself, but to an external one."

"But it's more likely that the magic array exploded decades ago, and these octopuses were all exposed to magical radiation and became incomplete demonic creatures.

"As for why it lives in fresh water, I don't know, this is the first time I've seen such a thing as an octopus, if you don't say it, I don't know that it can't live in fresh water, that little thing seems to be living very well."

"Maybe it's because of the magic that some kind of change in the body, so I was able to survive."

"But where did the octopus come from in the first place? They don't start out in fresh water. ”

“……”

Hearing Ma Long's question and Salad's answer, everyone also began to talk about it.

Marlon didn't stop and listened quietly, hoping for the result he wanted......

"Hoo ......" A knight emerged from the water, panting for breath as he struggled to swim towards the side of the desk.

"Whew, whoosh......" people kept rushing out of the water.

After counting, it was indeed a group of five, and there were many of them.

The crowd was a little nervous waiting for the results they brought back.

The knight swam to the shore, and a soldier reached out and pulled it up.

It was still very cold, and even with their physique, they shivered when they came ashore.

"How's it going?" John was the most anxious, and he couldn't hide anything in his heart.

Looking at the knight who was about to answer, Ma Long waved his hand to stop: "Don't be in a hurry, go and wipe your body first, change into clean clothes." ”

"Thank you, Lord!" The leader of the knights bowed and saluted, and several people behind him also followed closely in action.

"Hey......" John patted his head and said, "Blame me for forgetting about this." He waved to the knights, "Go and go back!" ”

"Yes!"

…………

After a while, the leader of the group returned first and reported the encounter in the lake.

"There are a lot of fish in the lake, all of them come out of a spring in the middle of the lake, and we went down to investigate, and there is an underground river there, and the water is so fast that we don't dare to go too far."

"Did you see an octopus?" John asked.

"Nope". The team leader shook his head and said: "The underwater vision is not very good, the range that can be seen clearly is limited, and most of those fish are avoiding people, and they can't be sure if there are octopuses." ”

"Didn't find anything special?" Malone asked.

"No, it's nothing special except that the spring in the middle is bigger."

"Okay." Ma Long said: "Everything is almost understood, if you don't understand, we can also study it slowly, as long as the awakening of wizards is not artificial, then there is nothing to worry about."

"There must be octopuses in this lake, and even if there are no in the lake, there should be a lot of underground rivers, and since there are dozens of them before, there must be suitable conditions for them to survive in this vicinity."

"Harvey ......"

"In!"

Ma Long ordered: "Restrict this place, take back all the rights to fish, and let the army control this place in the future, you can discuss with the Consulate and arrange a special hunt for octopuses."

"Whoever wants to come up with a wizard or something, you can try it, if this thing is done, it will be managed by Salad in the future."

"Yes!"

"Brother...... Am I going to have a lot of apprentices again? Salad asked Marlon.

"yes!" Ma Long rubbed her hair dotingly and said, "So you have to work hard, but don't let your students surpass, you have to manage them well and contribute to the construction of the territory." ”

"I'm fine." Salad hesitated, "But the octopus can only make gifted people become wizards, can this really be done?" ”

"Dozens of octopuses, and four wizards, don't you think the odds are too high?" Ma Long asked rhetorically: "If there are so many people in the world who have wizard talents, this world will already be wizards!" ”

"You mean......" Salad put her ten fingers in her mouth and bit lightly, hesitating, "can a little octopus enhance a wizard's talent, or can it make a person who has no talent become talented?" ”

"I don't know!" Ma Long spread his hands and said, "It's up to you to study!" ”

"Okay, you'll give me everything." Sala Joan snorted softly, "Ignore you, I'll go back and tell my mother that you bullied me!" ”

As she spoke, she pushed through the crowd and walked out.

"Haha...... The people around let out a good-natured chuckle! ”
