In the side hall of the Iowa ruins, Lant was still teasing the high-level octopus captured from the north like a dog, while outside the door of the side hall, Lili and a group of mermaids were guarding the door.
This group of mermaids were all captured on Baishan Island before. They include huge mermaid warriors like Volsch and Taoola, as well as wave mage apprentices like Taosiya and Shalei.
These mermaids are different from the high-level mage Yalandro. Their belief in Poseidon is not strong, and the eggs planted by Poseidon in them are also very limited. In addition, after Lili had an "in-depth talk" with them, she felt at ease. He defected to Lant and became a subordinate of Itris.
To the Naga warriors among them, Itris is a traitor to the mermaid clan, while to the apprentices of the Wave Mage, Itris is the genius senior sister described by their teacher Yalandro. The two waves of mermaids have different attitudes towards her. .
So when Iris appeared yesterday and tried to command these fish, she encountered great obstacles.
Fortunately, "Fishman" Tierney suddenly appeared at that time. Just his voice made all the fish present tremble. After all, they had all heard those terrible words when they were half-conscious:
"I think it's almost done. It won't work if I bleed any more."
"Don't worry, I've never stabbed any fish before. As long as I'm here, I'll be able to clean it up!"
This feeling of being on the chopping board with a kitchen knife in front of you leaves a huge psychological shadow on every mermaid.
Now Lant has established a complete set of plans to use both kindness and power for the races enslaved by Warcraft. Giving them enough potions and living space is a favor, and showing them how to deal with the Warcraft they fear is a deterrent.
"Your masters are like dogs to me!" This is the signal sent to them by Lant. Whether it is the ratmen of Hindukel, the galloping horse family, or the captives of the mermaid family, this signal is good enough. .
Dozens of mermaids cowered behind the gate, timidly watching Lant easily make the senior octopus give up a tentacle, and then accept the octopus's flattery. There was only awe in their eyes.
Lili was next to the mermaids. In her opinion, Lant not only left the octopus alive, but also provided him with delicious food and drink, and even allowed the octopus to reproduce smoothly. He was simply more merciful than the God of Life.
Seeing the "friendly" interaction between Lant and the octopus, Lili smiled and said: "Let me just say that Lant is a very kind-hearted human noble. Even if it is a sea monster, he is reluctant to kill it. He just takes it every day." Just a few tentacles!"
"every day!"
"Take a few!"
"Then you have to be bald?"
The mermaids were chattering in low voices, unable to hide their astonishment and not daring to disturb Lant.
Listening to the mermaids' questions, Lili explained: "Before, the technology was not mature enough, and I once cut off 4 tentacles at once, but later, Lant transplanted the life magic pattern of a high-level mouse into it, and the octopus's regeneration ability was much stronger. !”
The mermaids were silent. They had seen people raising sea monsters before, and they had also seen people killing sea monsters before. But this was the first time they had seen Lant treat the sea monsters like some kind of magic plant, raising them every day.
The fears and whispers of the mermaids were all transmitted to Rant from the magic net. He was very satisfied with this deterrent. He patted the octopus on the head and walked out of the hall, carrying the tentacles he had just obtained and came to the front of the mermaids.
When the mermaids saw Lant, only Volsch, who had once reached the level of a senior warrior, bowed very low, and the rest even lay down directly on the ground.
"Everyone, please excuse me," Lant said gracefully, and even helped Volsch up personally.
"In the past tens of thousands of years, the mermaid clan has been deceived and enslaved by the sea monster clan. Not only has it become a container for the growth of the sea monster, but it has also become a victim of the sea monster clan's external expansion."
"As a lord of the inland plains, I have never coveted the ocean, but the experience of the mermaid clan makes me feel sad, so I am particularly generous to you. I hope you can continue the ancient inheritance for your species."
Upon hearing this, Volsch quickly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, we are willing to go forward for Your Majesty!"
"Very well, I do have a lot of things you need to do right now," Lant pointed to the large pool behind the door. "The first is to breed octopuses. This octopus and her offspring are very useful to me. I need You guys take good care of her."
Right now, Lant can't roam around the world with the mermaids. The presence of a large number of mermaids in the Benma River Basin is equivalent to swearing that he has gone to war with Poseidon, so Lant arranged to raise seafood inside the ruins and explore the ancient mermaids. Magic and maintenance of underground rivers and other tasks.
The mermaids who received the arrangement began to get busy. Although the magic stocks in the body of the wave mages were greatly reduced because they lost the Poseidon's phase body, which is the insect eggs, there are abundant magic elements in the cave. The mermaid tribe taught by Yitris Magic is particularly suitable for them to learn, and several junior wave mages have returned to their previous level.
Lant left the senior mermaid warrior Volsch and the intermediate warrior Taoola behind to inquire in detail about the situation on the Baishan Peninsula.
"As far as I know, the Baishan Peninsula covers hundreds of square kilometers, but the troops you invested in occupying the peninsula don't seem to be very many?"
Taola was the commander who followed Yalandro to capture the peninsula. He knew the situation best: "Your Majesty, it's like this. The sea water in the north is very cold, and the water is not suitable for the life and reproduction of any sea people. Therefore, it is In the winter, our clan and the sea god...I mean the sea monster clan will head to the south,"
"In addition, there were not many sea elves in the Baishan Peninsula originally. It was their breeding ground. There were only 2 or 3 high-level people and dozens of mid-level people all year round. This winter, the northern sea beast clan is fighting with the tribes of Poseidon. , the sea elves on the peninsula moved to the north to assist in defense after the weather got cold. The sea monsters noticed that the troops in the ruins were weak, so they sent a legendary-level octopus to feign attack nearby. Master Yalandro led 50 mid-level soldiers. Captured the ruins.”
"It seems that this master is also an all-rounder," Lanter said with a smile. "Under normal circumstances, how can human mages dare to personally lead troops into battle?"
"Master Yalandro has a very deep belief in Poseidon, and she very much hopes to win Poseidon's favor." Volsch said.
After hearing this, Lant asked: "Since it was the sea monster clan that was conducting a feint attack, why didn't they let them enter the cave instead of sending so many mermaids?"
Volsch finished his words and replied: "Sir, you have also seen that octopus. It is already the most savvy life among the sea monsters. Without the help of the mermaid, these sea monsters will not be able to use the magic in the ruins." Formation."
Lant nodded: "So you mermaids are the orcs in the ocean. You are willing to serve the monsters in the sea, even if they can't even use magic..."
