Chapter 575: Mysterious Water Plants, Integrity-based
Following Timothy's line of sight, Shado quickly noticed a sudden splash of blood on the water in front of him, and at the same time, the ship began to slow down.
After a while, the surface of the water was flooded with blood one after another, and at this time, Xia Duo suddenly realized a problem, as a land creature, on land, human beings can have various ways to encircle and suppress land creatures.
But it's not easy in the water, even if you know the location of the target, you still have to go into the water to fight, and in terms of underwater combat, Xia Duo has not seen any water combat spells.
In the same way, there is also air combat, although humans can go to the sky through flight, but after all, they are not as flexible as creatures that are born to fly, and of course, air combat may be slightly easier than in the water.
After all, it is very convenient to attack air targets on the ground.
In the water, since most of the spells do not adapt to the water environment, the interference of the water body will greatly reduce the effect of the spell.
Looking at it this way, it makes sense for Archmage Timothy to choose to control the fish-men to fight indirectly, but if he is faced with this situation, what should he do?
While Xia Duo was thinking about this, the underwater battle was almost over.
Timothy turned around again, looked at Xia Duo, and made a new request, "Lord Xia Duo, please search again, I found that there is something unusual about the fish people here. β
"Anomalous? What anomaly? Shado asked.
"You'll find out right away."
As the two were talking, a wave suddenly appeared in front of the big boat, and three or four fish-men were working together to restrain a desperate fish-man to surface.
Looking at the struggling fish-man, Xia Duo suddenly thought of what Ruth's first mate had said yesterday, the fish-man robbers before were wrapped in aquatic weeds, and the leader was still holding a stone spear.
And this struggling fish-man has aquatic weeds wrapped around it, but the problem is that the other fish-people who are restraining it are lifting the aquatic weeds on its body, and Xia Duo can see it very clearly-
Those aquatic plants are clearly grown on the fishmen!
And when the aquatic weeds on this fish-man were completely removed, it stopped struggling at all, as if it was dead, but it was really not dead, and its tail was still wagging unconsciously.
Could this be what the Archmage called an anomaly?
Shador suddenly felt as if he had been involved in something that should not have been involved, and just as he was about to leave, Archmage Timothy suddenly said:
"Lord Xiado, see, those aquatic plants, it seems that those aquatic plants give these fish-people wisdom, or rather, those aquatic plants make these fish-people regain their wisdom. No matter who did this, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will definitely investigate it to the end! β
Xia Duo replied no, not answered, but fortunately, the archmage immediately said: "This matter has nothing to do with you Lord Xia Duo, and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce does not want to involve you, if Lord Xia Duo wants to leave, you can leave now." β
Leave? Or not to leave?
Xia Duo pondered, it was obvious that Timothy was generous, but if he did leave, he would definitely make a note in the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo did not want to offend such a large chamber of commerce with a mysterious background and had to cooperate with many grand arcanists.
On the other hand, if it weren't for his presence, perhaps the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce would not have discovered the anomaly of the fish-man farm at all, and considering that these fish-man slime would eventually supply the Great Arcanist of Horn in the Kieran Tower, it would be difficult to judge if there would be any hidden dangers in it.
And if only Xia Duo appeared on this side of Lake Mehmet yesterday, then Xia Duo will also clean up the fish people, of course, not as efficiently as Archmage Timothy, but Xia Duo's bloodline ability can allow him to move normally underwater, not to mention control the waters, and there are many ways to clean it up.
But in this way, all the thunder must be resisted by Xia Duo himself, no matter who arranged these aquatic grass wisdom fish people, they will definitely be found back if they are destroyed by Xia Duo.
Even, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will look for him because he destroyed the farm, which is simply sad.
Fortunately, the reality is not so bad, but it is not very optimistic, the best thing to do is to find a group with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, and the worst thing to do is to find out who is behind it.
Many thoughts flashed in Xia Duo's mind, and he almost didn't hesitate, Xia Duo said with a smile: "The archmage underestimated me, since he has promised to help with the search, then I will definitely help to the end, Daxia Ling has always been based on integrity, whether it is business or life." β
"What an honest one, Lord Chador, I didn't expect you and our president to have such the same philosophy, if the president knows, she will definitely be very happy."
As he spoke, Timothy seemed to have suddenly changed a person, and the whole person became fanatical, and looked in the direction of Severten, his eyes full of fascination, worship, and respect.
However, this demeanor only appeared for a moment, and then he regained his original gloomy temperament, and said confidently: "No matter who is behind this matter, after all, it is an unpopular character who is hiding in a dark corner and engaging in conspiracy, Lord Xia Duo, please rest assured, this matter will be resolved soon." β
Xia Duo was suspicious, and was about to speak, when the [Delayed Teleportation] hanging on his body immediately detected the surrounding teleportation signals, at this time, Xia Duo was a little worried about the people behind this matter, and suddenly detected the nearby teleportation, he almost didn't think twice about it and immediately chose to delay.
fo
At the same time, he quickly informed Archmage Timothy of what he had discovered, but he didn't expect that Archmage just smiled and didn't make any preparations, but gave him a reassuring look.
Xia Duo had no choice but to lean towards the edge of the big ship, and then blessed himself with a protective spell, which was different from the [Long-lasting Armor] after getting up in the morning, the protective spell at this time was not known for its duration, but for its protective strength.
Energy absorption, energy resistance, spell deflection, and more.
It's just that the delay in teleportation will never be satisfying, and Xia Duo only had time to bless himself with two protective spells, and a black figure appeared on the deck, only a few steps away from Timothy.
It was also this figure that made Xia Duo pause and continue to cast spells, and the black robes on the person who came were very similar to those on Timothy's body, combined with Timothy's previous performance, if nothing else, this person should also be from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
"Timothy, what the hell is going on, call me over in such a hurry, don't you know I'm busy!" The person who came seemed to be a busy man, and as soon as he came over, he complained wildly, but when he saw Xia Duo, he still made him restrain a little:
"This isβ"
"This is the Lord of Xia Duo of the Great Xia Pioneer Territory in the South, I happened to meet him, please ask him for help." Timothy explained.
"Southside? Shado? The one who created the Arcane Mystery? β
"Yes!"
Timothy didn't explain much, he knew that his old friend was not interested in the Arcane Mystery, and that the aquatic plants that grew on the fishmen might be more attractive to him.
Of course, he didn't forget to introduce this old friend to Xia Duo, "Lord Xia Duo is also the mage advisor of our Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, and the senior arcanist Said, he likes to study strange things, and he will definitely like the water plants here." β
After speaking, Timothy seemed to suddenly remember something, and said: "There will be an investigation team coming over later, and there will be no need to trouble Lord Xia Duo in the future, of course, if Lord Xia Duo is not busy, you can also stay here and see the final result." β
Maybe it was a temptation before, but Xia Duo quickly reacted, and now there is no problem if he leaves, but Xia Duo still wants to see what the situation is.
