Lake Mecht is in a mystery.

Byron was flying in front, and Xia Duo was following behind, and the two seemed to be very purposeful to take the initiative to find the source of the strange aquatic plants, but as they flew, Xia Duo realized that something was wrong.

Master Byron went forward, backward, up, and down, and if there was a clear goal, would the goal still not move?

Having doubts, Xia Duo couldn't help but hesitate a little in his actions, and after the two of them changed direction once, he finally couldn't help but ask Master Byron a question:

"Master, are you tracking down the kind of aquatic weed that Advisor Syd mentioned?"

"Yes and no!"

Hearing Xia Duo's question, Byron simply slowed down and said as he flew: "Just now in the process of trying to unlock the mystery, I discovered the special connection between these aquatic plants and the mystery!" ”

"Special connection?" Xia Duo didn't quite understand that the lock was full of water, and the aquatic plants grew in the water, so what was so special about this.

"Think about it, how many fish-people are there? And how many fish-people are out there? Byron asked rhetorically.

Of course, the fishmen here can't see the edge at a glance, and Xia Duo didn't cast a detection spell in the lock, and how can he know the number of fishmen in the water world in the lock, only that there are many.

As for the outside -

"Huh-"

Xia Duo suddenly thought, he had calculated that at least a dozen fish-men appeared in the outside world every second, so even if there was a time acceleration effect in the lock, enough food must be provided.

It is equivalent to automatically replenishing all the food required by more than ten fish-men to grow into adulthood every second.

It takes about 12 years for a normal fish-man to reach adulthood, and in this special confined environment, the time may be less, but the food demand is still high.

And he has seen the scene of the fish-people mating in addition to eating and drinking, although the only thing these fish-people eat is aquatic plants, but they do need to eat, rather than relying on the food style and drink to grow.

Shado is very sure of this.

But what—

The mystery here is arranged with Lake Mekhte as the core, and it cannot be separated from the environmental restrictions of Lake Mecht, and such a large demand for food cannot be supplied by Lake Mecht alone.

Xia Duo had guessed that it might be a special aquatic plant that had been modified by the druids, and before he and Byron came in and locked up, didn't the Seid advisor of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce have already determined that the growth ability of these aquatic plants has been enhanced!

But now that Byron has re-mentioned the relationship between aquatic plants and the locks, and he has described them as special, the relationship between these aquatic plants and the locks should not be the relationship between ordinary creatures and the environment!

At this time, Xia Duo had already thought that the growth of aquatic plants also needed energy, and it was obviously not enough to rely on the sunlight energy obtained from the large area of Lake Mecht in the normal flow rate of time in the outside world.

The only explanation is from the locks.

So when Master Byron speaks of the special connection, does he mean a more direct energy supply relationship between the two?

So, Chado spoke his judgment, and Master Byron nodded slightly after hearing this, and announced the answer:

"There is a relationship, but not quite. It should be said that the existence of these aquatic plants is rooted in the essence of the mystery, and as long as the locks exist, these aquatic plants will be infinitely derived! ”

This kind of metaphysical conceptual existence involving existence and essence is not always as well adapted to as the native mage of Nesser.

After all, the concept before the time travel has always influenced him, but as he delves deeper into the magical realm, he will naturally become more and more receptive.

And now, listening to the meaning of Master Byron's words, can these aquatic plants still be derived out of thin air?

Xia Duo hurriedly asked, "Master, are you saying that even if we remove all the aquatic plants in the Mystery Lock, as long as we don't destroy the Mystery Lock, these aquatic plants will still be reborn?" ”

"No, as long as we don't break the lock, we can't get rid of all these aquatic weeds, and the faster we clean them, the faster the aquatic weeds will multiply! Of course, if you can really clean up all the aquatic plants here, it will be equivalent to the loss of part of the essence of the lock, which is equivalent to destroying the lock! ”

This kind of answer Xia Duo is much easier to understand, it turns out that this water grassland did not come out of nothing, but manifested in the form of normal reproduction.

So—

"What about the weird aquatic weeds that Advisor Syd said?" Immediately afterward, Xia Duo said, "Didn't the master say that he wanted to find the source of that strange aquatic weed?" ”

The First Cause of All Worlds

"Be patient, young man!"

拜伦大师随口调侃了一句，又继续说道：“那些没有和鱼人结合就具有独立、主动攻击倾向的水草，和我们现在看到的这些水草并没有本质上的差别。

"But the changes in it allow us to understand the essence of this aquatic plant more quickly, which is of course what we need, aren't we looking for it now?"

Just as he was about to continue to say something, Byron's face suddenly changed, and he sent a message to Xia Duo, "Found it!" Follow me! ”

When Xia Duo saw Master Byron's solemn expression, he probably guessed that what he found should not only be the strange aquatic weed, but the source of the normal aquatic grass turning into the strange aquatic weed.

Of course, the so-called normal aquatic weeds are only relative to the strange aquatic weeds mentioned by Syd's advisor, in fact, the aquatic weeds in Lake Mehmet are not normal.

Normal aquatic plants, who will parasitize on living things, can even weakly improve individual intelligence, or even form collective intelligence.

He had previously guessed that these aquatic plants might be something similar to a nerve cord device, and now he was even more sure of that suspicion.

Being able to connect with the Mystery Lock means that there may be a control terminal, and the meaning revealed in this is too reverie.

……

Following Master Byron around and around again, he was about to approach something that might point to the truth, or existence.

Suddenly, Master Byron stopped directly, and Xia Duo, who was thinking about it, didn't react and almost crashed over, but fortunately stopped in time to avoid making a fool of himself.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"The situation has changed somewhat, I'll send you out of the maze first!"

“……”

Xia Duo was stunned for a moment, what the hell was going on, but this time Master Byron was obviously not going to explain anything, and he didn't give Xia Duo a chance to refuse, and directly cast a spell to teleport Xia Duo into a green light.

At the same time, the last words of the master came to my ears: "Fly in any direction, that is, the direction we came in!" ”

At this moment, Xia Duo's mood can only be said to be like 70,000 alpacas running wildly, and this feeling of being stopped is really unpleasant.

He could already guess that Master Byron must have discovered something extraordinary, so he didn't want him to see it, maybe it was good intentions, maybe it was greed, but there was always some regret.

sighed for a while, and at this time, Xia Duo also noticed the special environment around him, which was an area that was as weak as space.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a misty green glow, and nothing else.

Following the prompt of Master Byron just now, Xia Duo randomly picked a direction and drove away.
