The giant dragon naturally heard what Marika and Elizabeth were talking about. It looked down at the devil fish from the air: "Let me guess, you want us to take care of the Mind Flayer and his minions on the shore."
The ugly fish monster's tentacles twitched: "Exactly. This underground lake is a pool of stagnant water. Its flow was interrupted due to changes in the earth's crust many years ago, and I was trapped here. Now the mind flayer has occupied the ruins of the gray dwarves. I discharge wastewater mixed with evil energy into the water all day long, look at me, I have already suffered greatly!"
Dragon: "It's not evil energy, it's microorganisms. In my opinion, this lake has become eutrophic, and a red tide is imminent."
The three eyes of the devil fish blinked in turn.
Xiaobai on the boat muttered: "It seems to be confused, it is definitely confused."
Elizabeth: "I'm confused too."
Nini: "Microorganisms should refer to bacteria and algae in the water. I heard the teacher teach basic microbiology. Eutrophication should mean..."
Xiaobai threw down the bamboo pole and covered his ears: "Ah ah ah ah, don't listen to you chanting! Every time you give a lecture, I fall asleep quickly. If you chant for a while, no one will support the boat!"
The dragon continued: "When a red tide occurs, the oxygen in the water will be depleted, and the fish will die without exception. But the aboleth...that is, you are an amphibian, and you should be able to survive on the surface of the water. ."
The aboleth chased the flying dragon's figure with three eyes: "Is this alarmism to add weight to yourself?"
Dragon: "No, I am telling you the truth. In fact, if the mind flayer harms you, just log in and destroy it. Judging from your size, you should be an ancient aboleth wizard. It is easy to defeat a mind flayer. ."
"You are right, it should be like this." The devil fish turned his eyes to the gray dwarf ruins on the shore, "But that mind flayer is weird, and his men may turn into a monster full of tumors."
Marika frowned: "Speaking of which, we didn't encounter that kind of sarcoma monster when we were escaping. Why? The enemies who come to hunt us can't be high-level, middle-level and senior cadres who need to preserve their intelligence, right?"
The aboleth, which is very sensitive to sounds, turned its eyes to the boat: "Because only those who have stayed in that devil's cave for a long time will become that kind of monster. That guy has a considerable number of Kuo-toa fishmen who were originally my slaves, so they should It hasn't had time to 'convert' yet."
The flying dragon in the sky was speechless: "That's reasonable! What about the gray dwarves?"
Demon Fish: "There are many craftsmen among the gray dwarves. They were once members of a gray dwarf tribe called the Blackstone Tribe. The Mind Flayer needs them to make equipment. I'm sure that there is a lot of equipment stored in that fortress. My servants have been Monitoring the roads in and out of the castle, a large amount of ore was 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 used. The dwarves' full-body shields can be used by humans as medium-sized shields."
"Hey!" Flint shouted to the sky.
Xiaobai: "What he said is true."
"You can't tell the truth casually!" the short man said unconvinced.
The devil fish's attention was attracted by the dwarf, and then it made a strange noise: "Ah, look carefully, the light on this dwarf priest is unusual. Chosen? Or an envoy? What a surprise, such a configuration of the adventurer team, He was actually kicked out of the fortress.”
Dragon: "Because our magic has been exhausted by the wheel battle."
Demonic Fish: "A wheel battle? It's true that your configuration lacks people who can quickly handle a large number of miscellaneous soldiers. The elf rangers did not carry double swords. The barbarians seemed to be seriously injured. The drow were covered in blood. It's true. It's the feeling of going through a fierce battle.
"As for you, Your Excellency the Archmage. Your dragon form should be the only remaining high-level spell, right?"
Dragon: "You are right."
"Then, I guess the fact that I didn't do anything should be enough to prove my sincerity."
Dragon: "But now we can't turn around and rush into the castle. As you can see, our condition is very bad."
The aboleth changed direction in the water: "Follow me, I will take you to a place where you can rest peacefully. Tomorrow, when you have rested, you will return to the castle. My servants and I will open the way for you, and you only need to deal with the heart-stealing The devil will be fine.”
As he spoke, the aboleth's tentacles rolled up the bow of the boat and dragged the boat quickly through the water.
Xiaobai: "Ah, I seem to be unemployed."
Elizabeth asked suspiciously: "You mean slaves? Aren't the Kuo-Toa people already controlled by the mind flayers?"
Demonic Fish: "Not only do I control a tribe of Kuo-Tao fishmen, but there are also many humans and drow elves wrapped in mucous membranes in my underwater palace. There are also beautiful individuals like you, young warlock."
Elizabeth subconsciously crossed her arms to protect her heart.
The devil fish continued: "Also, that Furulu, don't go too far. I know you are feeding on my evil thoughts."
Franka: "Huh? You know what? I thought I ate very secretly. Teammates, this guy has ten thousand thoughts in his mind to enslave us! Be careful!"
Devil Fish: "I have never denied that I had the idea of adding you to slavery, but you see, you all resisted my slavery and were not shocked by my appearance."
Elizabeth looked stunned: "We resisted slavery?"
Xiaobai: "Eighty percent is the king of slavery. That guy's wooden head can resist even the might of a mountain, so mere slavery is no problem."
The magic fish didn't know whether he heard the conversation between Xiaobai and Elizabeth. He continued: "Another reason that made me decide to negotiate with you is that your mage has the aura of the devil. I really miss it. Last time It was five hundred years ago that I saw the devil from the Nine Hells."
The members of the rescue team looked at each other.
The flying dragon above his head laughed dryly: "Hahaha, that's... the breath left over from my childhood."
Nini: "There is land ahead! There is also a rather large ruins! No one is seen in the ruins!"
Demonic Fish: "That's the mage tower of my former best friend."
Franca: "This is the truth."
Devil Fish: "He has lived here for almost a thousand years. Suddenly one day he told me that his life was approaching and asked to find a way to live forever."
Dragon: "A thousand years of life? He is 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 the lake."
"Yes, I once made a contract with him to guard my territory for him. You are the first group of humans to visit this island in two thousand years."
Franka: "This sentence is a lie. In fact, it is enslaved by the mage."
Devil Fish: "Fu Lu, stop saying a few words and no one will think you are mute."
Franka turned around and turned into the color representing joy: "But I am an honest Furu, this is my nature!"
