After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked Mott, "So where are you doing in your research now?" ”

"My lord, I have come up with an idea to turn negative energy into a curse, attach it to a goblin, and then let it constantly contact and infect other goblins, and finally make all goblins in a state of half-living and half-undead, so that there is no need to upgrade their intelligence additionally, the goblins themselves have a certain amount of wisdom and can understand human commands."

In the end, Mott's eyes almost lit up, but his state made Xia Duo's heart tremble, this is the rhythm of the undead disaster!

Does he have the potential to become the Lich King?

Xia Duo shook his head, expelled this terrible scene from his mind, and then his face turned grim, and he said to Mott: "I am very satisfied with your research, but now that the labor force in the territory is sufficient, there is no need for the undead goblins for the time being, and I will give you a new task now." ”

"Huh?!"

Mott was a little disappointed, he didn't expect his research to be useless at all, but when he thought of the lord's new task, he couldn't help but look forward to it, "My lord, what is the new mission?" ”

"Let's sort out a set of funeral rites that belong to the Great Xia Collar alone!" Xia Duo said casually.

This is not an impromptu idea, but a long plan, and this is also Mott's own work, the Lord of Death does not care about any etiquette, and the doctrine is more inclined to maintain the peace of the dead.

Shado, who had experience with the [Projection Plane: Nessreel Kiran], even suspected that the main plane's doctrine of the Lord of Death had been specially revised.

After all, in that projection plane, the Death Priest was the real upper class, and the faith of the Lord of Light was even suppressed.

The projection plane is a possible projection of the main plane, and Xia Duo has reason to believe that the main plane has also undergone such a wave of suppression, seizure of power, and counter-suppression, and in the end, the Lord of Death does not even have a serious temple.

The priests of the Lord of Death can only reside in the temple of the Lord of Light, and of course why in the end it is the mage class that becomes the real ruler is not known to Chado.

He speculated that it might be related to the [Color-resistant Scroll], or it could be that the priestly class of the Lord of Radiance took the initiative to retreat, it had been hundreds of years, and who could really understand the secret behind this!

Anyway, on the main plane, the power of the mage lord has been confirmed in almost every way, and just modifying a funeral rite is not a big deal.

Xia Duo did not directly force Mott to prohibit the study of undead creatures, but was ready to downplay the matter, and constantly assigning him new tasks was such a process.

……

After leaving the cemetery, Xia Duo immediately summoned Gibb and issued a new order, telling him not to take Mott out to hunt goblins again, there are no raw materials, even if Mott wants to study privately, it is impossible.

As for going further, Xia Duo is also preparing to recruit two more Death Priests from the Savile Territory, even if it is only two apprentices, and there are too many people to hide their secrets.

Back at the Lord's Villa, the guard Norman told him that the former Druid Atwood was already waiting for him in the reception room, but at this time Nia had "arrived", and Xia Duo was anxious about the news of the scarlet shining star, so he did not immediately go to the reception room.

Since the communication device can only transmit short text messages, Niya sent a voice message through Taling, and her tone seemed to be a little flustered:

"I can't contact the teacher now, there are rumors of natural disasters going on outside, I asked several arcanists in the Tower of Gilles, and they don't know about the shining star, I'm looking up materials in the library right now to see if there is anything similar in history."

After listening to Nia's reply, Xia Duo's mood was a little heavy, and he really hoped that Niya would reply directly that the scarlet star was just a normal phenomenon, even if it was said that her teacher was conducting some strange experiments!

This kind of rumor that there is no accurate news and natural disasters is really worrying!

The only good news, probably because of the hundreds of years of accumulation in the Gilestall Tower Library, may indeed be able to find records of similar situations.

If it's just an ordinary natural phenomenon, it doesn't matter, the most feared thing is that it is really a precursor to some kind of natural disaster.

"Ahh

Xia Duo sighed, sorted out his mood, and stepped into the reception room, no matter what the future holds, what he should do at the moment still has to be done step by step.

……

"Your Lord!"

Seeing Xia Duo come in, Atwood got up and saluted a little stiffly, Xia Duo still valued this former druid, and he would be of great use to him in the future, so he returned the salute.

After the two sat down separately, Xia Duo took out a piece of parchment that had been prepared from his personal space, stretched out his hand and sent it forward, and naturally floated to Atwood, "Let's take a look at the contents first!" ”

Atwood picked up the paper floating in front of him in both hands and began to read, his face changing as he read the lines of text.

From the initial calm, to the surprise, shock, and appallation, and finally to appreciation, recognition, and so on.

Xia Duo had a completely calm expression, for he knew very well what was written on the paper, which seemed to him to be just some commonplace common sense, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

But if you put it in Nessreel, it's not so simple. And from the complex change of Atwood's expression, Xia Duo reaffirmed this thought.

There wasn't much on the paper, and Chateau estimated that Atwood could see about it, so he asked, "Is there anything you want to say after reading it?" ”

"My lord—"

Atwood's mouth opened and closed, closed and closed, as if he didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, Xia Duo directly drew the scope, "Let's talk about the definition of nature first, what do you think of the view that 'man is also a part of nature'?" ”

With the scope, Atwood naturally no longer struggled, and immediately said, "This idea is very novel, but the idea is higher than 'nature is equal to the forest', and since elves can belong to nature, then of course humans can also belong to nature." ”

“……”

It's true that Chador's original text is human, but he is referring to any intelligent being, including goblins, but Atwood is not wrong to interpret it this way, at least to show that he is somewhat unhappy with the elves' monopoly on the definition of nature.

So he asked, "What do you think of 'harmony between man and nature'?" ”

Atwood replied, "Harmony is not the same as unconditional maintenance of the forest, man himself is also a part of nature, survival is the first priority, under the premise of meeting the conditions of survival, no malicious claim is harmony." ”

Shado nodded, it seemed that Atwood was already able to accept the new definition of nature, but it was not surprising, if he could still accept the original definition, then he would not be banished by the Druid Order because of the debate over whether the forest could be cleared to clear the farmland.

Today, the druids of Nessreel can basically be fundamentalists, they believe that nature is the forest, and the elves are the embodiment of nature, and they can agree that if the forest is cleared, there will be ghosts.

In fact, even within the elves, the druids are not the mainstream, and the elves have not done less than destroying the forest.

When Xia Duo incarnated as an elf in the projection plane, it can be said that he knew a lot, especially in the [Projection Plane - Mai Yerita Sukanvisa City], where there are almost no druid legends, although the elves do love the forest more than humans, but when the war is fought, what should be destroyed will still be destroyed.

It doesn't matter if it means destroying an entire forest as long as it takes.

Xia Duo guessed that the elves attached so much importance to the forest may be because the establishment of the Mystery Lock was related to the forest, of course, Xia Duo was not sure about this, it was just a suspicion.

Otherwise, how can there really be any race that attaches great importance to a certain environment!

Speaking of which, elves live in the air, and should pay more attention to air quality, just as aquatic races pay more attention to water quality.
