Chapter 42 Ways to Restrain Fish and Human Eggs
"What? You said a pirate had infiltrated the other two secret passages!?"
Alan, who had quickly walked to the city wall to set up a defense, got this not very good news from the captain of the soldiers who was in charge of managing the secret passage.
"Yes, yes!"
Although the captain of the soldiers didn't know why the lord suddenly paid attention to the pirates, he still dutifully replied: "They claim to be members of the mercenary group, but I know them, they are all pirates, and they are not mercenary groups at all. ”
"Why don't you stop them?"
Alan was about to question this, but suddenly remembered that the division of the war zone was simply decided by the mercenaries and pirates spontaneously, and he had never been involved in it at all, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Forget it, I didn't expect this kind of thing before.... These damn scumbags, I should have dealt with them sooner!"
Using mercenaries to fight pirates, and finally personally intervening to teach them a lesson, Alan originally thought that they would be more honest in this way, but he didn't expect that because of a variable in the black hand, there would be a backlash!
The power that is not yet fully controlled, you must keep a hand on guard!
Remembering the lesson in front of him, Alan did not have time to repent here, and immediately ordered the soldiers to start preparing a backup plan, and sent someone to inform them under the other two walls.
Using secret passages to transport mercenaries out of the city to disperse the fishmen can significantly reduce the number of fishmen, but it is also risky.
So Allen has been prepared for this risk, that is, to block the secret road!
If the fish-men discover the secret passage and want to use it as a breakthrough, then Alan will decisively give up the advantage of the secret passage to transmit mercenaries, and instead block them completely!
He was prepared for this, so the pirates' plan would not have succeeded in the first place, but if the secret passage was indeed blocked, then his plan to use mercenaries against the fishmen would be completely ruined!
This will not only affect the battle situation of the fish-man this attack, but also have a certain impact on Allen's future expectations.
He was not reconciled to this situation, so he ordered the soldiers to prepare and ran towards Pochi Castle, asking Mr. Advisor, who was a senior mage, if he could do anything about it.
Because of the foundation of the Reserve Apocalypse Knight, Allen's physical fitness is no less than that of a long-term adventurous mercenary, and the speed of moving at full speed is still very fast, and it didn't take long for him to come to the square in front of the castle!
It was just what he saw after he arrived, but he was very surprised.
At this time, the square in front of Pochi Castle was covered with a thick mist, the mist was ice blue, swirling around the square, and in the haze, a mountain of fish-man corpses was faintly visible, and the sharp-eyed Alan even covered the peaks with white spots - it was frost.
"That's amazing!"
Despite the urgency of the situation, Alan couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Raphael's previous assignment seems to have been perfectly completed by him.
Entering the mist, a chill caused goosebumps on his body, but it was only a momentary stimulus. The fog wasn't too cold to hurt people much, and even the porters who kept coming in and out showed expressions of enjoyment after entering.
The Fish-Man Peak in the square is constantly supplying two alchemy lines, but it has not decreased, but there are more and more postures, if everything goes well, Alan will definitely make a fortune!
However, it was not the time to think about this, Alan glanced a little, and found Mr. Consultant on the other side of the square, and then walked over quickly.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the peak of the Fish-Man Mountain, Raphael, who was constantly stroking the two whiskers on his lips, noticed Allen's arrival, and said with a smug face: "Haha, our esteemed lord is back, look, how is your faithful magic advisor Archmage Raphael?"
"Great, maybe I should consider giving you a bonus. Alan raised an eyebrow and said, then interrupted what Raphael was about to say next, and asked intently, "Is there a way to mask the smell of fish and human eggs?"
"What?" said Raphael.
Alan quickly explained the current situation to him quickly, and then under his expectant gaze, Raphael spread his hands: "I'm sorry, I don't have much research on Warcraft, I suggest you go to Mr. Simon, those alchemists have always known a lot about Warcraft." ”
"Well, thanks for the offer. ”
Alan was a little disappointed, but he still decisively said goodbye to Mr. Consultant and ran towards Simon's alchemy house.
The area around the alchemy house was more lively at this time, and there were constantly porters under the command of the alchemy apprentices to divert the fish-man corpses here, and then the apprentices laboriously carried them in.
Alan didn't have time to pay attention to this superfluous situation, he asked Simon from the apprentice where he was, and then walked briskly towards it.
Simon was working as an overseer in the backyard of the Alchemy House, which was originally a small garden, but now it has been transformed into a work place, surrounded by a mysterious magic circle, emitting bursts of white mist to block the outside world's peeps into the place.
The apprentices were constantly busy, and Simon, as a formal alchemist, sat on a chair and read leisurely, and it was strange to see Alan coming, but now was not the time to greet him, and Alan quickly explained his intention without waiting for Simon to ask.
Simon pondered for a moment and said: "The smell of fish-man eggs is difficult to expel and can even be said to be very difficult, and there are many mage apprentices in the water tower who accidentally get contaminated with broken fish-man eggs, so that they are found ashore by crazy fishmen, which can be called inexplicable. ”
Allen's face sank, but before he could speak, Simon waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, listen to me." ”
Knowing that people are in a hurry, can't they finish it in one breath!
Alan really wanted to give the mage in front of him a roll of the eyes, but he didn't expect that a person who is usually very serious would have a tendency to chatter, and it doesn't look like it at all?
Are all mages like this? Or are the ones he encounters special?
Simon didn't notice the strangeness of Allen's expression, and he said in a non-hurried tone: "Two years ago, a colleague from the Water Tower studied this in depth, and fortunately, he really found a way to hide the fish-man smell. ”
"What is it?" asked Allen.
Simon pointed to a corner of the backyard, and Alan turned his head to see the disemboweled corpses of countless fishmen, and beneath them, the black dirt had been soaked into a dark green with blood.
"Fish-man blood?"
"No, I'm referring to his large intestine. ”
Alan hesitated and asked, "Large intestine?"
Mr. Alchemist nodded and said, "Its excrement, to be exact." ”
Alan was stunned, then asked hesitantly, "This... Is it reliable?"
Simon said without changing his face: "Don't worry, we have done experiments." ”
Seeing that he had a serious expression, not like a joke, Alan decided to believe him, gritted his teeth, recruited several porters, and began to collect fish-man excrement after paying a sum of money.
It's just that, while collecting, he couldn't help but have a question in his heart: how did that senior mage "accidentally" discover this method?
