The small shadows were one to two meters long, while the big ones were five to six meters long. In the deeper part of the water, there were some huge existences that were more than eight meters long. From the blurry shadows, one could roughly tell that they were huge fish. However, there were figures with four limbs and tails among them. They were obviously the blue-jawed murlocs that puzzled Chairman Jeremy some time ago!
The red light continued to expand until it exceeded ten thousand square meters. Countless figures floated on the pitch-black surface of the sea. It looked rather terrifying, especially when the boat was in the depths of the sea far away from the shore. The accompanying soldiers around them gripped their swords nervously. Even the leader Evelyn pursed her lips … They didn't even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would alarm those terrifying creatures.
Miranda's expression was solemn. Her incantation gradually became louder, and the air was filled with obscure waves of magic power. With her efforts, the 'demonized' creatures summoned by the magic began to slowly circle around the fishing boat. Many of them had a predator or prey relationship. However, at this moment, their eyes were lifeless, as though they were listening to some kind of summoning as they swam numbly.
"Jill! Doris! "
Miranda felt that she had reached the limit of her control and shouted softly to the side. The pharmacist, Jill, immediately stood up and took out a few bottles that she had prepared beforehand. Meanwhile, Doris stared at the figures of the murlocs among the swimming creatures. She held the necklace in front of her chest and began to cast a spell. Not long after, more than six hundred burly murlocs gradually circled to the inner circle and approached the fishing boat.
Jill seized the opportunity and began to mix several types of potions on the spot. She then quickly sprinkled them on the water where they were …
As these potions were rather difficult to mix, the pharmacist had to be present every time. As the potions spread rapidly in the sea, the sea that was originally glowing with a dark red light instantly turned into a pale purple. After the blue-striped murlocs came into contact with this potion, they instantly became even more agitated.
They swung their bodies and tails even more forcefully. They even began to attack their own kind and the other schools of fish around them. However, as Doris used her necklace to cast spiritual spells to calm and hint, these murlocs finally calmed down.
"Turn the boat around and leave this place!"
Evelyn seized the opportunity and ordered the fishing boat to retreat from the whirlpool filled with mutated creatures. During this process, Miranda and Doris' spell-casting also gradually stopped. As the mutated creatures "recovered" their consciousness, large waves immediately appeared on the surface of the sea … After the fishes freed themselves from the spell's influence, they immediately began to attack the weak "food". The giant predator was also involved. Blood dyed the surface of the sea red, and the stirring of the seawater created quite a bit of movement.
However, the Blue-Gilled Mermen quickly retreated from their original area and scattered into the deep sea.
The people on the fishing boat heaved a sigh of relief when the purple light on the surface of the sea completely disappeared.
"Well done."
Evelyn encouraged the three people beside her in a low voice. Doris heaved a sigh of relief. "Looks like the results of our perseverance for the past three years have finally paid off … I'm afraid the number of infected murlocs has already exceeded our expectations."
She was proficient in spiritual spells, and her spells were inclined towards "suggestion", just like hypnosis of a hypnotist. She could subtly influence the thoughts and intentions of these murlocs. At the same time, Doris could even read the thoughts of these creatures that didn't speak the same language and make analysis.
The effect of Jill's potion was similar to the stinger of the "infected beast", used to infect and strengthen the "demonic bloodline" of these creatures. However, she added quite a number of other ingredients to make these creatures as calm and as calm as possible.
Just as Doris said, similar actions had actually been going on in Eiseka since three years ago. Evelyn and the others who came this time were only the "rotational" members who came to replace the previous batch of people. This plan had been carried out since the reign of the previous king. However, according to the original progress, this plan would continue until the next Holy Assembly of the "Crown of Twilight Autumn".
However …
"Since July, our efficiency has suddenly increased a lot. No one knows what's going on. So, we have to be very careful. "
Evelyn picked up the magic array, adjusted the position of the Magic crystal, and let the enchantment protect the ship to continue moving forward.
However, not long after they left the sea, the sea creatures that were killing each other suddenly seemed to have sensed something and stopped what they were doing. The originally pitch-black sea seemed to be shrouded in an even more obscure darkness at this moment. The aura that was emitted instantly left only one thought in their minds: Escape!
After "demonization", they had stronger physical qualities than their own kind. These fish could swim at speeds far faster than warhorses on land, and even faster than the flying speed of most birds. However, even so, they couldn't escape the sweeping darkness at all …
"Boom!"
From afar, a muffled sound rolled over the sea. Evelyn and the others raised their heads and looked in that direction. The four of them looked at each other. "What's that sound?"
"I saw dark clouds in the sky just now. It should be muffled thunder."
As they came from the desert, they didn't know what the sound was. They all thought it was a normal phenomenon in the sea, so they didn't think too much about it. However, when they were approaching the shore, Miranda suddenly asked, "Is the 'Cast Beast' really that magical?"
"No matter what it takes, we have to get it … In addition to saving Jill a lot of precious herbs to make potions, it also has a lot of magical abilities … When it grows to a certain level, it can even become a real existence that can protect the entire Tuk Tribe," Evelyn answered with squinted eyes.
Evelyn squinted her eyes and replied in a serious voice, "But before that, none of us should show any unusual reaction to its existence. First, we have to figure out who the man with the sacred beast is … "
However, to her surprise, the "strategy" of the "Envoy of the Kingdom of Karen" was much simpler than she had imagined.
The Eiseka Kingdom had already established a relatively complete intelligence network in Lassiman. So, the next morning, the guard captain Mei reported the information she had collected overnight. The conclusion she got was a little funny to Evelyn and the three chiefs —
"You mean … these guys from the Kingdom of Karen are all vulgar nouveau riche?"
"Yes, my lord. They had already fought twice since they got off the boat. The members of the envoy group have been shopping with bags of gold coins every day, as if they have too much money to spend … I heard that the leader of the envoy group, whether it's eating or booking a hotel, always likes to say one sentence … "
"What sentence?"
"'Show me your best and most expensive! I don't lack money! '"Mei vividly imitated Roddy's tone, which immediately made the other three people burst into laughter.
"His attendants are all guys who are good at fighting but don't know magic. As for the envoy himself … except for bragging loudly and being promiscuous with a few women, he basically has no good points."
Apparently, Mei had collected a lot of information. She continued, "They haven't been received since they came ashore. I heard that the 'Parliament' has canceled the meeting with them and asked Brenka Academy to negotiate with them."
"Ha, the Parliament is too lazy to pay attention to these guys."
Evelyn had a deep understanding of Lassman. Of course, she knew the temperament of those old guys in the Parliament. They obviously looked down on them!
May nodded. "Moreover, the Kallon Kingdom isn't rich. It's barren in resources and doesn't even have a proper warship. Logically speaking, it doesn't have the right to send a diplomatic mission to pay a return visit. That's why everyone is blaming the captain of the Boradini, saying that he accepted bribes and even committed treason to bring these people over."
"To put it bluntly, they have nothing but money. They forced themselves to come to Lassman to make a fortune before leaving …"
Jill mumbled beside her, and Miranda and Doris nodded in agreement. Evelyn was more cautious. She said, "It seems that these guys don't have a complicated background. But we can't underestimate them because of this. It's impossible to ask for the sacred beast directly. I think the envoy should have a contract with the sacred beast. So … we'd better start with the envoy — "
She looked around and named names, "Doris, your specialty is very suitable for this kind of thing."
"I couldn't ask for more."
Doris licked her lips and smiled, "Regardless of whether he's a bumpkin or not, his body looks much better than the servants in the country …"
The meaning of these words was obvious. Evelyn did not comment. After all, the "beauty trap" was very effective in places other than Eiseka. They were able to establish a foundation in Lassman quietly because of the beautiful maids specially trained in the country.
"Doris, don't use too much force and squeeze that guy dry. If you encounter a good-looking guy, I can lend you some potions anytime."
Jill took out a small bottle and shook it, but Doris grabbed it. "Hey, it's better to be safe than sorry!"
*****
Compared to the group of Thukk women who were in a good mood, Speaker Jeremy's mood could be said to have turned from cloudy to gloomy.
After collecting the murlocs' corpses, he had been dissecting and studying them for the past few days. Unfortunately, the corpses were badly damaged and rotten after being fished out by the fishermen. Many parts were difficult to identify, so the progress of this kind of research was very slow.
What he was doing now was similar to what Roddy was doing. They were both researching the topic of "mutation."
However, Speaker Jeremy's topic was more focused on murlocs, so it was much more difficult. This was because there was too little information about murlocs in Lassman. Most of the information he found from Deep Blue was vague. There were very few records of using murlocs' corpses to conduct research. With such a small number of comparison samples, it was very difficult for him to make any useful conclusions. On the contrary, the other few mutated fish that he picked out had higher research value.
"This is really giving me a headache …"
Recently, there were many things that had been bothering Jeremy. One was the mutated murlocs, another was the unusual movements in Eiseka, and the progress of his Experiment Card had yet to break through … He felt that everything was really not going well for him.
Walking past the dissected murlocs, he casually placed the knife beside the washing basin and washed his hands. He began to think about how to clearly describe the results of his observations. The quill was filled with ink, and he wrote a small outline on the draft paper. However, he was suddenly stunned.
"Huh?"
