857. Running Horse Lake and Falling Moon Lake
The deep blue wave shattered the one-meter-thick ice, swept the broken ice and poured inland, and in the icy water, a stream of slightly lighter water shuttled between the deep blue water.
In the water, there is a sea monster hidden in an indescribable language, and in each stream, there must be a huge conch shaped like a snail, the shell of this conch is pitch black, and only some cracks exude dark red.
It's this fire-streaked ammonite that keeps the temperature high for the sea monsters around them, allowing them to unleash their magic and move fast in near-freezing waters.
Thanks to the power of magic, the sea monsters were able to follow several fjords in the winter, and enter the largest lake north of the Galloping Horse Plain: Moon Lake.
On the 30th, the largest estuary in the north of the Falling Moon Lake had been dyed dark red by the blood of the Sea Beast Clan.
Underwater, hundreds of mermaid warriors are entangled with sea lion orcs, and the coral knife commonly used by merfolk is not very effective for sea lion clans, and it is even more difficult to defeat if they encounter the giant fangs of the walrus clan.
However, the Sea Beasts also have their own weaknesses: they can't breathe in the sea for too long, as long as they continue to fight fiercely underwater, consume oxygen, and then desperately entangle them, so that they can't stick their heads out to breathe, they can suffocate them.
The corpses of the two clans are piled up on the river beach, behind this battle line, the sea monsters in the depths of the water and the dragon beasts in the sky face each other, once the sea monsters are involved in the mermaid and the sea beasts, the dragon beasts will not hesitate to go into the water to catch them, and take them to the sky to share the food, on the contrary, once the dragon beasts enter the water to fish without authorization, the sea monsters will also use their tentacles to keep them in the water forever.
In the sky, Rand watched such a bloody scene, a little unbearable, he, the "good man", did not like to watch bloody scenes, but as a member of Willy, he must be strictly neutral when it comes to the magic net, and it is impossible to expel the high-level sea monsters from the magic net without authorization.
At the same time, as an official nobleman of the Human Empire, his Terran subordinates could not directly support the battle of the Sea Beast Clan, and the only Spinosaurus Ezama who could come was not suitable for cold combat.
"Lord Rand, is the battle in the water very different from what you think?" Beside Rand, the legendary pandaman Xiu Ming asked.
"Indeed, I didn't expect the battle here to be so brutal!"
"We don't pay attention to the rules of aristocratic warfare with the sea monsters, and the two sides will always be endless," Speaking of this, the panda man pointed to the place near the mouth of the fjord, "There is at least a demigod-level demonic beast hidden there, and with such a strong man in charge, the two sides can only grind like this." ”
Another meaning of Xiu Ming is to ask Rand not to reveal any means to deal with the mermaid clan, before Rand was able to succeed, because the sea monster clan and the elves fought a border friction, the elves were not ready to go to the sea, the sea monster did not plan to go ashore, and neither side was ready to make the war bigger, which made Rand have a lot of gains.
And on the Falling Moon Lake, the mermaids and sea beasts are fighting to the death, and there will be great risks in sneaking up and capturing prisoners.
"It seems that the war is not so far away from my territory." Rand sighed.
The appointment ceremony of the magician had just been held in the morning, and Rand followed Xiu Ming to the Galloping Horse Lake in the afternoon, and the panda people were eager for him to complete the castle and magic furnace on the south shore of the Falling Moon Lake in the north to support the battle of the Sea Beast Clan, which was already the most immediate support effect that Xiu Ming could think of.
The construction of the castle was not very difficult, with the cooperation of him, Orfen Gauren and the Black Rabbit, a castle of the same size as Xing 8 Castle did not take an afternoon, and even after the magic furnace was installed, Rand found that the goblins had also installed a magic furnace nearby, and there was a ready-made energy storage mine layer underground.
However, the real problem is that the ground part of this castle is completely uninhabited by human beings, which is equivalent to giving a magic furnace to the sea beasts.
"Your Excellency Xiu Ming, it's been too cold in the north lately, and my people will be stationed here next spring." Although Rand and the Sea Beast are allies, they have to pretend to be neutral.
"Duke Rand, please rest assured, I will definitely send heavy troops to protect this magic furnace," the pandaman nodded, "In addition, you don't have to worry that demigod sea monster can really enter the inner lake, once it enters the middle of December, the dragon beast and the sea monster will evacuate one after another due to the weather, and the intensity of the battle will also decrease." ”
When Rand returned to Nightqi, he suddenly saw Lenikova of the Finless Porpoise Clan on the side of the Elendamaned Wolf.
"My little maned wolf, the prices of several potions in the black market of your maned wolf city have been high recently, let's enter some from any forest, we will have several times the profit, you are now the person in charge of the entire black market, what are you hesitating about?"
"Lenikova, those potions are all used to stimulate the ferocity of demonic beasts, and there is obviously a problem with such a large amount." Elenda is very cautious about the management of the black market, "The Blue Lion, the Wyvern and the Blue Dragon family all have special Warcraft farms, once someone scatters the magic potion among the Warcraft at this juncture, the chaos caused is incalculable!" ”
Rand watched the conversation between the two people, and was very emotional, since the death of the old earl, Elenda has become a lot more mature and stable, especially after taking over the most profitable black market from Pete in the past few days, she often goes to consult Lanya and Mace Frostwolf, and gradually reduces and replaces the more risky goods in the black market.
On the other hand, it is Lenikova Finless Porpoise, who is nominally a mage sent by the Finless Porpoise Clan to assist in the teaching and research of water magic, but in reality, this mage is extensively involved in black market trade and aristocratic gossip, and has no interest in magic research.
"Lenikova?" Rand shouted.
"What's the matter, Duke? Do you have a new business? The porpoise mage smiled in return.
"You say, is there any magic that allows you to breathe underwater for long periods of time, without even having to go to the surface to breathe?"
"Oh?" Lenikova's eyes flickered to know what Rand was asking, "Do you mean something like that would keep the Sea Beast warriors fighting underwater?" ”
Seeing Lanning's head, Renikova said: "Hundreds of years ago, the Human Empire once developed a spider silk mask, which used magic spider silk to absorb oxygen under water and wear it on the mouth and nose of warriors to form a bubble, but such a thing is not easy to use, because the magic on spider silk will soon be exhausted, and the warriors themselves have no magic and cannot stay in the water for a longer time. ”
"Understood," Rand nodded, and suddenly asked again, "Then can you tell me that the magic pattern that can filter the air underwater is complicated?" ”
"It's simple! It's the primary magic pattern, which is level 3 for the Terran arcane! ”
