"We're not talking about a long, long time ago." Robert brought out a plate of Nantes fruit, a specialty of the town of Tateto, from the kitchen and placed it on the table. "The history of the Kingdom of Loma is only two hundred years, and the province of Wilson has been completely destroyed.
The incorporation into the rule happened eighty years ago, and there are no stories that old to tell."
Brutus grabbed a handful of nante nuts, which were as big as peanuts and tasted very sweet: "So how far back in history are you going to tell?"
"I think you have probably heard about the fish-men in Tatto Lake. If not, I can briefly tell you."
"There seems to be something like that." Brutus sorted out his memory. He seemed to have heard someone say it before, but unfortunately he had almost forgotten about it.
However, he remembered it very clearly. He learned from Max that the first mayor of Laxius Village was also a figure two hundred years ago, so he was a little surprised to learn that the history of the kingdom was only two hundred years old.
"Before Wilson Province was included in the rule, there were a large number of murlocs. I think you haven't seen them yet. To put it simply, they have fish heads and human bodies. Their bodies are covered with scales. Their appearance generally exceeds the aesthetic range of normal people.
."
"Do you think this crisis is related to those fish-men?" Brutus asked tentatively.
"Maybe?" Robert did not give a definite reply, "The land we are in now was within the scope of the lake a hundred years ago, and the current town of Tatto was built on piles of magic scrolls."
"The protagonist of the story I'm about to tell is a fish-man priest, whose name has disappeared from the paper records." Robert stuffed a nant fruit into his mouth, "its magic power is far better than Loma at that time.
Magicians."
"Sorry to interrupt, what's the difference between a flower and bird fortune teller and a magician?" Brutus had never understood the difference between the two, and this time he finally had a chance to ask.
"Flower and Bird Fortune Teller is a subordinate profession of magician, or it is similar to magician. Although some people do not have magic talent, they have the potential to master divination. Although they cannot become magicians and use magic freely, they can join
Bird and Flower fortune tellers use some unique abilities."
After explaining, Robert brought the topic back to the topic: "The magic power of fish-man priests usually comes from the water sources around them, and the protagonist of our story intends to open up a new magical path."
"It believes that the water element needed to cast magic also exists in the air, and fish people can try to leave lakes and rivers and settle on land."
"It's a very good idea. Did he succeed?" Brutus felt that this priest had quite a groundbreaking idea.
"Is it a good idea?" Robert was stunned by Brutus' praise of the fish-man priest. He secretly remembered the matter in his heart, "Magicians have been arguing about the source and existence range of magic power for a long time.
There is no conclusion yet.”
"This fishman priest was voted a heretic by the other priests because of his dangerous ideas and was expelled from Tatto Lake. It found a suitable residence in a creek south of Tatto Lake and lived alone
Started its research."
Brutus didn't quite understand the connection between this story and the crisis facing the town of Tateto, but he continued to listen patiently.
"However, it did not develop a method of using the water element in the air as it expected, but it successfully developed a powerful earth magic."
"Don't tell me that Loma's magicians used this magic to fill Lake Tateto."
"Not much different." Robert nodded, "The fishman priest heard from his friends that its enemies were planning to block the upper reaches of the creek where it was located, so he decided to join the fishmen's enemies——
That is, humans. It provides the magic it studies to the magicians of Loma, which makes them feel like a treasure."
"Basically all the magicians in the kingdom were transferred to the vicinity of Tatto Lake. They built a huge magic circle that buried half of Tatto Lake, and then a large number of citizen soldiers were stationed here. After decades of strangulation and
If it is filled up, the murlocs in the lake will almost disappear completely."
"What about the fishman priest?"
"He died in the camp the day after he provided magic to Loma. This matter was not recorded in detail. Even this story was just a small incident mentioned casually in the memoirs of a few nobles."
"However, in some records, some people say that the fishman priest escaped and used the stolen disguise scroll to sneak into the logistics caravan."
"This story ends here." Robert stopped talking and looked at Brutus, waiting for his question.
Brutus decided to put forward his confusion directly: "This story, it seems to have no connection with what we are going to do? Of course, the connection between things is universal, and it is unrealistic to say that there is no connection at all.
,but--"
"Perhaps there is indeed no connection." Robert glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, "But I think it's okay to just let you rest for a while, so that you can recharge yourself enough to work. Now tell me about your plans for tomorrow.
Well, I will fully cooperate with you."
"That's what I planned..." Brutus told all the ideas he had come up with after thinking for a long time. Robert listened and checked and filled in the gaps from time to time.
Fifteen minutes later, the two finalized the details of the plan.
"But I also agree with Violet's view. I don't think Juno is an important variable in this matter. If we only put our hope in Juno, it is still too risky. You should have a backup plan, right?"
Brutus shook his head: "From what I know, the only place where changes may occur is here. Unless I can come back a few more times, then I can spend a few more afternoons searching.
Breaking point.”
"That's true." Robert had to agree with Brutus's point of view, "How do you plan to arrange the rest of tonight?"
"I still have to go to Favari's residence." Brutus told Robert truthfully where he would go next.
"Well, this is also a good choice." Robert thought for a moment, "If he knew the whole story, he would definitely choose to do his best to help you. But unfortunately, you'd better only tell him part of the truth, otherwise he will
His temper will become very troublesome in the office tomorrow, and may even change history early."
The more Robert talked about it, the more he felt that this matter had to be handled with caution. He said to Brutus with a serious face: "No, you can't go, otherwise you will definitely get involved tomorrow. I'm afraid I have to go there, and Favali and I
The relationship with him is pretty good, it’s much easier to see him than you with Violet’s note.”
"In that case, I'll leave it to you."
"Well, you should keep an eye on Juno here." Robert told Brutus. "If something unexpected happens, you and she can hide in my room. The magic circle there can protect you for a while."
