Chapter 8: Aristocrats
Although it only took more than twenty minutes to wipe out the fish-man tribe, which should not be the fish-man tribe, it took more than an hour for everyone to clean up the fish-man tribe and not slaughter the fish-man tribe, but the subsequent clean-up work took more than an hour for everyone. Especially for the collection of special scales of the fish-people and the sweeping work of the fish-man water village, the four of Kelryth naturally did not interfere, and the whole process was the work of the Rock Squad, but this trip to clean up almost did not make any effort to complete the task of Kelrith and pay for the task of clearing more than a hundred fishmen, which is the most comfortable mission in recent times.
"My lord, this is the special scale of all the advanced fishmen. Captain Jon came to Kyris with a cloth bag, handed it over and said, but he also noticed the lump of minced meat not far from the middle mage, but he didn't ask anything.
"Does Captain Jon know this kind of fishman?" Kelrith took the cloth bag, and did not open it to check it, but swept it with mental power to make sure that it was correct, put it away and said to the mercenary captain, his left hand was placed between the two of them, and a 3D virtual image appeared on the palm, which was the image of the mutant fishman that Kerrith had encountered last time just now.
"It's... Slightly stunned, Jon looked at the image in the mage's hand, said hesitantly, and then shouted behind him.
"Little Luther, come here. Before the words fell, a thin figure rushed over, a half-grown boy, probably not as old as Kelris, wearing shabby but very clean leather armor, he was one of the few non-professionals in the other mercenary team, so he did not participate in the battle just now, but participated in the clean-up of the fish-man water village after the war.
Patting the boy on the shoulder, Jon turned to the mage.
"Little Luther is a native of Fenris, and when it comes to fish-people, he's an expert. After speaking, he pointed to the image in the mage's hand and said.
"Do you know this fish-man?"
As soon as the boy came to the two of them, he was attracted by the projection in the mage's hand, and after hearing his captain's question, he repeatedly observed for a moment before speaking.
"Master Mage, this is supposed to be a Broken Fin Fish Man, but I don't know how these pus and wounds on its body came about. ”
"Are these fish-people common in Lake Lordanmere?" asked Kerryth after a moment's thought.
"There are more than one of them, there are two kinds of fish people that are more common in Lordamire Lake, one is the evil finned fish people, and the other is this kind of broken finned fish people. Little Luthor replied without even thinking about it.
"Oh, besides these fishmen, are there any other special fish-man races?" Although he knew about the race of this mutant fish-man, there was still no clue about the reason for the mutant fish-man, so Kelreth put aside the matter of this mutant fish-man for the time being, and asked the fish-man expert about the specific situation of the fish-man, after all, brushing fish-man monsters should be his main job for a period of time in the future.
"There are also blue-gills and greengill fishmen, but my lord, there are some other fish-man races that pop up in Lordanmere Lake, but most of them are not very numerous, and you don't know where they came from, and I saw a fish-man with a dark gray body when I was a child. After a little bit of language, little Luther replied.
The middle-level mage nodded slightly, as an inland lake, Lake Lordamir is so abundant in water resources, there must be an intricate underground river system under it, and even if it is connected to the open sea, it is not impossible for some special fish-man race to suddenly appear.
"Captain Jon, I don't need the other fish-man corpses, but you can bring this one for me, but be careful when you take it, it's best not to make physical contact. Kyris turned to look at the mercenary captain and then said.
"I wonder if the Rock Squad has been able to take on the mission recently?"
"Pick it up! As long as it's a suitable task, our Rock Team will take it. The mercenary captain glanced at the minced meat on the ground, nodded and asked the team members to pick it up in a burlap bag, and then heard the intermediate-level mage's inquiry, and said with a smile on his face.
"Well, that's good, I'll live in the Tower of Stars in the Mage District, and I'll be in contact with you the day after tomorrow at the latest. Nodding, Kyris watched the mercenaries pack up the corpses of the mutant fishmen, and then uncomfortably stepped forward and took out a box and asked the mercenaries to put the corpses in, before he said to Jon with satisfaction.
"Ahh When it was almost cleaned up, there was a hazy murmuring sound of little Lori in her ears, the little girl had already taken a nap in the treeman's arms, she was already sleepy, and Kelreth had always kept the treeman safe by her side, so she didn't wake her up.
"Yes, I'm going back, my eldest lady!" Glancing at Mage Lori angrily, Kyrreth and his party began to walk slowly towards the village in the setting sun.
The way back was much faster than when it came, and it was not dark yet, and the four of them had already returned to the Tower of Stars, and after saying goodbye to Kim and Kiel, they took Master Lori to the large laboratory on the fifth floor.
Open the door to the two mages sitting face to face, there is a game of mage war chess on the table, is fighting on the head, the world has also invented a chess and card game similar to chess, and then through the additional magic of the mages, so that the chess pieces can control the battle, sometimes the rules are clear that A can eat B, but because of the manipulator's mistake to be eaten is not impossible.
Seeing that the two of them were on the rise, Kelreth didn't come forward to disturb, but Belinda on the side was already angry, so the middle-level mage urged the little girl to sleep, and after ensuring that she would still be taken with her next time she went out, the little girl slowly floated downstairs, and the middle-level mage turned back and continued to look at the two mages. After looking at it for a while, Kelrith was suddenly stunned, and found that the old mage's face was a little younger, and the waist-length hair on his head was originally seven or eight percent white, but now it was only a little white, if the old mage was at least sixty years old, he would be fifty years old now.
"Hmph!" The old mage snorted coldly, watching his king chess being killed by the queen of the high-level mage, and waved his hand to stand up, and then the high-level mage on the opposite side had a smile on the corner of his mouth, waved his hand to put away the magic war chess, and looked at Kelreth who was standing aside.
"Show us it!"
"Yes!" Hearing this, the middle-level mage took out a small box from the space ring, kicked it with his left foot, and the box opened in all directions, and a transparent bag appeared in front of the three of them, and a blurred ball of flesh in the bag wafted out with a sour smell of decay.
The high-level mage took a step forward and crouched down to watch by himself, but the old mage beckoned to Kelris, and the middle-level mage took two steps forward and walked up to his mentor.
"Teacher, your hair..."
"Hehe, a bit of a breakthrough. Hearing this, a smile appeared on the old mage's face, and he pointed to the chair next to his apprentice, and the middle-level mage sat down.
"Congratulations, teacher. "Although I don't know what the old mage's breakthrough is, it shouldn't have broken through the high-level, after Kelrith got along with so many high-level, the most obvious sign of the high-level mage is the concretization of the elements of the pupil, just like the beauty of the pupils, different attributes will show disagreement, the old mage's pupils are still pure light brown, there is no change, but since it can make him seem to be younger for more than ten years overnight, it should be a big breakthrough.
"I've been stuck in this knot for so many years, and if I don't break through, I'm really going to squat and wait for death. ”
Looking at his disciple with satisfaction, Brairton was happy with a little worry in his heart, happy that this time he was invited by the high-level mage to come to the Tower of Stars to participate in a prehistoric civilization research unlock, and after making some progress, he miraculously broke through the mantra of the return of all things, and began to really take steps towards the high-level mage, and went all the way back, worrying about the chess just now, he lost, and he could only follow the advice of the high-level mage for the time being.
"Kyle, I've been in touch with Dalaran, and you can't go back at the moment. Stunned, Blairton said to his apprentice.
"I also know that since I came out, I have already made plans not to go back for a short time. The middle-level mage replied in a low voice, but in his heart, he had long planned not to return to Dalaran.
"It's fine if you can understand it yourself, but you can't stay in the Lordaeron capital for long. Nodding slightly, the old mage said to his apprentice again.
Hearing this, Kyrreth was stunned. "Is it because of Kenneri, then I'll go to Kul Tiras, I have a secret agreement with Gianna, I can go to her for a while, and then make plans!" With a cold snort, the mid-level mage explained to his mentor the verbal agreement he had secretly made with Gianna.
"You can't leave Lordaeron either!" the High Mage suddenly said in a voice that he hadn't known when he had returned to his seat.
Raising an eyebrow, glancing at the high-level mage, and then looking back at the silent mentor, Kelreth pursed his lips and frowned.
"In the southeast of Stratholme, there is an oak forest, which is the oak tree of the high elves thousands of years ago, the area is very large, almost occupying a small half of the Stratholm area, the early humans did not dare to cut it, for fear of angering the elves, but in the past ten years, the nobles of the Stratholme area found that it seems that the elves did not include this forest under their jurisdiction, so there began to gradually gather a part of the homeless people, and three years ago, the first town was established in the southeast of the oak forest. As he spoke, the High Mage took out a piece of parchment, and the clay marks on the corners of the paper were clearly engraved with the official seal of the Lordaeron Noble Senate.
"Originally, I was still thinking about how to arrange a name for you, so that there would be no quarrel in this matter, but I didn't expect you to find a credit for yourself. As he spoke, he placed the parchment in front of Kyrryth as the High Mage continued.
"Although only a newly built town and five nearby hamlets barely meet the requirements of a barony, if the entire oak grove is included, the area alone can be compared to a viscounty. Kyle, let's go to Stratholme!"
Picking up the parchment on the table and glancing at it casually, Kyrreth turned his head to look at his mentor, but the old mage kept staring at him, and then their eyes collided.
"Kyle, if you don't want to go, you can follow the mentor!" Feeling the high-level mage's gaze, Brairton still calmly said to his apprentice, hearing the high-level mage on the side frown, but he didn't say anything.
"Mentor, in fact, it's not bad to be a little nobleman over there, and it's not that I can't come back, but in contrast to these, I actually want to know, who is my mother?"
At first, he was still facing the old mage, and at the end of his words, he turned his head to look at the high-level mage.
The high-level mage who asked Wenyan changed his breezy face, his left eyelid twitched involuntarily, and he subconsciously turned his head.
"I'll tell you when you get to the high-level mage!" the old mage on the side said suddenly, while the high-level mage who turned his head looked at the old mage in surprise, opened his mouth hesitantly, and was silent.
Hearing this, Kyris also calmed down, although he was involuntarily arranged, but in fact, it was beneficial to him, his main thing at present is to develop himself with peace of mind, whether it is his own strength or strength, he needs a calm environment and opportunities. It's just that it seems that the high-level mage seems to be very afraid of his mother, which makes Kyris very concerned, what kind of elf has such power, and the Stratholme region is also the area where the human kingdom borders the Quel'Salas High Elf kingdom, and if you want to go to the Northern Empire, you must also go there.
"What's the matter with this fish-man?" the three of them were silent for a while, and the old mage asked aloud.
"It's probably some kind of plague, but it's not sure if it's caused by magic, and it needs to be checked with a professional prop, and the corpse is too broken. The High Mage glanced at the Fisherman's Flesh Foam and then at Kelryth.
"I used the mage's hand to smash all the bones of his body, and he was still alive, so I had to turn him into a cake. Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, the mid-level mage said.
"So, do you want me to leave tomorrow?"
"No, there are some follow-ups, about a month. ”
The high-level mage looked at Kyrryth, who was staring at him, and replied with a wry smile, and then took the fish-man corpse on the ground out of the laboratory, leaving a pair of masters and apprentices sitting wordlessly opposite each other.
