Elizabeth: “I’m confused too.”

Nini: “Microorganisms should refer to bacteria and algae in the water. I have heard my teacher talk about basic microbiology. Eutrophication should mean…”

Xiao Bai threw down the bamboo pole and covered his ears: “Ahhhh, I don’t want to listen to your chanting! Every time you lecture, I fall asleep quickly. If you keep chanting for a while, there will be no one to row the boat!”

The dragon continued, “When a red tide occurs, the oxygen in the water will be depleted, and all fish will die without exception. But the Aboleth… that is, you are an amphibian, so you should be able to survive by coming to the surface.”

The three eyes of the Aboleth followed the figure of the flying dragon: “Is this an alarmist statement to add to your own scare?”

Dragon: “No, I’m telling you the truth. In fact, if a mind flayer threatens you, you can just go ashore and destroy it. Judging from your size, you should be an ancient aboleth wizard. It’s easy for you to kill a mind flayer.”

“You are right. It should be so.” The demon fish turned its eyes to the gray dwarf ruins on the shore. “But there is something strange about that mind flayer. His subordinates may become monsters covered with tumors.”

Marika frowned: “Come to think of it, we didn’t encounter that kind of tumor monster when we were escaping. Why? It can’t be that the enemies who came to hunt us are all high-level cadres who need to retain their intelligence, right?”

The aboleth, who was very sensitive to sound, turned his gaze towards the boat. “Because only those who stayed in that cave for a long time would turn into that kind of monster. That guy has quite a number of kuo-toa under his command. They were originally my slaves, and they probably haven’t had time to be ‘transformed’ yet.”

The flying dragon in the sky was shocked: “Makes sense! What about the gray dwarf?”

Magic Fish: “There are many craftsmen among the gray dwarves. They were once members of a gray dwarf tribe called the Blackrock Tribe. The mind flayers need them to make equipment. I am sure that there is a lot of equipment stored in that fortress now. My servants have been monitoring the roads in and out of the castle. A large amount of ore has been transported into the castle.”

Dragon: “Equipment… But if those equipment are made for dwarves, we can’t use them – ah, weapons and shields may be useful. The dwarf’s full body shield can be used by humans as a medium shield.”

“Hey!” Flint shouted to the sky.

Xiao Bai: “What he said is true.”

“You can’t just tell the truth casually!” said the dwarf unconvinced.

The magic fish’s attention was drawn to the dwarf, and then it made a strange sound: “Ah, take a closer look, the light on this dwarf priest is unusual, the chosen one? Or the messenger? It’s really unexpected that such a team of adventurers was driven out of the fortress.”

Dragon: “Because our spells were used up by the war.”

Magic Fish: “A round-robin battle? Indeed, your configuration lacks people who can quickly deal with a large number of miscellaneous soldiers. The Elf Ranger did not carry dual swords, the barbarian looked seriously injured, and the Drow was covered in blood. It felt like he had been through a fierce battle.

“As for you, Master Archmage. Your dragon form should be the only high-level spell left, right?”

Dragon: “You are right.”

“Well, I think the fact that I didn’t do anything should be enough to prove my sincerity.”

Dragon: “But we can’t just turn around and charge into the castle now. As you can see, we are in a very bad situation.”

The aboleth turned in the water and said, “Come with me. I will take you to a place where you can rest in peace. Tomorrow, when you are well rested, we will return to the castle. My servants and I will clear the way for you. You only need to deal with the mind flayers.”

As it spoke, the tentacles of the Aboleth rolled up the bow of the boat and towed the boat quickly through the water.

Xiaobai: “Ah, I seem to be unemployed.”

Elizabeth asked suspiciously, “You mean slaves? Aren’t the Kuo Tao fishmen already controlled by the Mind Flayer?”

Magic fish: “I control more than just a tribe of Kuo-Toa fishmen. There are also many mucus-covered humans and drow elves in my underwater palace. Among them are some beautiful individuals like you, young warlock.”

Elizabeth subconsciously crossed her arms across her chest, protecting her heart with her arms.

The magic fish continued, “Also, Furu, don’t go too far. I know you are eating my evil thoughts.”

Franka: “Eh? You know what? I thought I was eating very secretly. Teammates, this guy has ten thousand ideas of enslaving us in his head! Be careful!”

Demon Fish: “I have never denied that I have the idea of ​​enslaving you, but you see, you all resisted my enslavement and were not shocked by my appearance.”

Elizabeth was stunned: “We resisted slavery?”

Xiao Bai: “He is most likely the King of Slavery. His wooden head can resist even the might of God, so slavery is not a problem.”

It was unknown whether the magic fish heard the conversation between Xiaobai and Elizabeth. He continued, “Another reason that prompted me to make up my mind to negotiate with you is that your magician has the breath of the devil. I really miss it. The last time I saw a devil from the Nine Hells was five hundred years ago.”

The members of the rescue team looked at each other.

The flying dragon above my head laughed dryly: “Hahaha, that is… the aura left over from my childhood.”

Nini: “There is land ahead! And a rather large ruin! No one is seen in the ruins!”

Magic Fish: “That is the wizard tower of my former best friend.”

Franka: “That’s the truth.”

Magic Fish: “He has lived here for nearly a thousand years. Suddenly one day he told me that his life was coming to an end and asked to find a way to live forever.”

Dragon: “A lifespan of a thousand years? He’s an elf?”

“Yes, he left after that, leaving behind this Mage Tower. I think he either became a lich or is no longer alive. After all, this Mage Tower has been silent for two thousand years.”

Nini said: “The tower is not on land, but on an island in the middle of a lake.”

“Yes, I once made a contract with him to guard his territory for him. You are the first group of humans to visit this island in two thousand years.”

Franka: “That’s a lie. It’s actually been enslaved by the wizard.”

Magic fish: “Furu, no one will think you are dumb if you speak less.”

Franka turned around and turned into a color that represented joy: “But I am an honest Furuyo, this is my nature!”

314. It’s my birthday today so I need to take a day off

It’s my birthday today, so I’m taking a day off

As regular readers know, my birthday is October 10th, so I plan to treat myself.

Continue updating at 10 am on October 7th.

Chapter 306: Is Aboleth delicious?

While everyone was chatting, Xiaobai rowed the boat to the beach of the island in the middle of the lake.

As Gotrik was about to get off the boat, Marika and Nini stopped him together.

Wang: “What’s wrong?”

Marika: “There is a golem.”

Nini: “Iron Golem. But it didn’t respond.”

At this time, the Aboleth that had climbed ashore first sent a telepathic wave: “These golems have probably stopped moving in a thousand years.”

Xiaobai widened his eyes and looked at the demon fish coming ashore: “Aren’t you a fish?”

The king in dragon form replied as he landed on the beach, “It’s an amphibian.”

Xiaobai was shocked: “Amphibians don’t have legs?”

It turns out that druids identify amphibians by their legs.

The bottom demon fish turned its three eyes, stared at Xiaobai for a few seconds, turned around and continued to crawl towards the golem with its tentacles.

Wang followed and looked at the golem carefully. “Yes, it has indeed stopped moving. This golem is very interesting. I guess it uses some of Nerenis’s Giant God’s technology.”

Marika jumped off the boat and turned to help Elizabeth. She asked, “So this golem and the two giant statues that stand in the Morado Valley are of the same origin?”

Dragon: “I don’t know, maybe they just obtained Nerenis’s technology. After Nerenis’s conspiracy was crushed in the First Age, the three Giant Gods were dismantled and now they can’t be found. It’s normal for someone to study the technology on it.

“After all, that was what happened in the First Age. The species that ruled Gralia have changed several times. It’s not surprising what happened.”

Elizabeth, with Marika’s help, stood firm on the “beach” and asked curiously, “We have the core of Nerenis’s Giant Warrior on our island. Can we activate these golems as well? Can we move them back to the island as guards?”

The dragon touched the motionless golem with his hand and said, “I don’t know. We need to take it apart and look at the structure. I don’t think this thing uses electricity. It should be based on an ordinary golem with Nelenis’s technology added. We should explore this tower and see if there is any research data on the owner.”

The black dragon turned to look at the aboleth and said, “Is it okay for us to go into the tower and explore?”

The demon fish waved its tentacles and said, “No problem. After all, thousands of years have passed, and my loyalty to that person has long since disappeared. And I still need your help to solve my problem. It would be great if you could find equipment to enhance yourself in the tower.”

Xiaobai was the last one to jump off the boat and looked at the demon fish: “You are a very nice person.”

Franca: “Did I eat too much again?”

Dragon: “It’s possible. It has been controlled by a wizard for a thousand years. Maybe it is not so evil anymore.”

“You think too much.” The three eyes of the magic fish blinked regularly from left to right. “I still want to wrap you in mucus membranes and make you my slaves, but I really need people to solve the pollution source on the shore.”

Franka: “What he said is true.”

Wang took the initiative to end his dragon transformation, and the giant dragon shrank into human form as if it had lost its air. He gestured to Marika, “Go find the entrance to the tower and set up the traps.”

Marika nodded and moved towards the tower.

Flint came to the front of the golem and looked up at the giant half-kneeling on the ground. “The pattern on the armor looks a bit like the workmanship of the dwarves. If it is something from thousands of years ago, it should be something from when the Mountain Kingdom had just established the Eight Peaks. Now we have lost our capital for generations.”

Dwarves are also a long-lived species. Although not as long-lived as elves, a few generations of dwarves can still mean great changes and changes of dynasties for humans.

The king stood beside the dwarf, his arms folded across his chest. “Can you take this thing apart? I want to see if the structure inside is powered by electricity.”

Flint pulled out his blacksmith tool kit from his dimensional bag: “Let me give it a try.”

While the dwarf and the king were studying the golem, Xiaobai walked around the aboleth lying on the beach and asked, “You’re just lying there like this?”

Magic Fish: “I often lie here. Although the dry air will soon make my scales itch, to be honest, it is much better than being in the water. You don’t know that the water in the underground lake has become more and more viscous recently, and sometimes it even makes my skin burn.

“I feel like that damn mind flayer is eating away at my will in this way. Sooner or later, I’ll become that guy’s puppet.”

Franka: “I can see that you are deeply troubled. Let me play a song for you~”

As he spoke, Furu plucked the strings of the zither with his tentacles.

Xiaobai continued to circle the Aboleth and finally asked the question: “Are you delicious?”

The demon fish turned its entire body around and took a defensive stance towards Xiao Bai. The telepathic message it sent out also highlighted its shock: “Do you know what you are talking about? I am a bottom-dwelling demon fish!”

Xiaobai: “I know. You should be considered an animal, right? If I eat you, can I turn into you?”

Franka: “From a taxonomic point of view, it is a monster. A long time ago, a biologist who was studying underground creatures said so.”

Xiaobai looked up at Franka: “Is that what the taxonomists say? Is there any difference between anomalous creatures and animals?”

“He said that all monsters have special powers, and their body structures also have unreasonable parts. For example, Furu, Furu’s body is completely unreasonable as a living creature, so even if you, Druid, eat me, you can’t turn into me!”

Xiaobai’s ears drooped: “That’s right… I also think it would be quite convenient if I could fly like you.”

Franka: “Fu? Fufufufu??”

Xiaobai turned his head and looked at the demon fish: “Forget about this ugly thing, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t change.”

The demon fish was silent for a few seconds before he said telepathically, “I…thank you?”

He was very confused. It seemed that even the ancient benthic demon fish wizard who had lived for thousands of years had never seen a person like Xiaobai.
