Lord of Arcane

Chapter 947 Awakening the Undead Chain Reaction
Seeing this scene, Xia Duo only felt that his scalp was numb. In fact, he could open the negative energy channel, but he was unwilling to contact negative energy, and it was impossible for him to transform undead creatures as efficiently as Priest Morton.

After all, he wasn't going to become a necromancer.

But the method that seems to allow undead creatures to gain wisdom is not something he can do, and he doesn't even have the slightest idea.

In fact, before today, Xia Duo had seen many undead creatures, that is, the night watchmen from Savile, and the goblin undead creatures made by Priest Mot, the guardian of the cemetery in Daxia.

But there was a red light in their eyes, and none of them were intelligent. Not to mention goblin undead creatures, they were like a joke, and they had to be tied with ropes, so they couldn't even communicate basicly.

The night watchman also needs intelligent living people to command, and the commander is usually a death priest on duty, or a specific soldier who inherits special duties.

The undead night watchmen alone can't do much good by themselves.

Undead creatures are driven by negative energy, and negative energy is not just a kind of energy, it is the opposite of life and the opposite of order.

If you use a more popular word on the earth to describe it, then negative energy can also be called "entropy".

Therefore, in Xia Duo's view, undead creatures are inherently unable to have anything to do with order and negative entropy like [wisdom].

But it is a fact that undead creatures can be intelligent, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Xia Duo is still very interested in intelligent, self-aware undead creatures, but that's all. Once he sees such an existence with his own eyes, his mind will be shocked even more.

Living creatures such as humans, elves, and dwarves actually feed on positive energy at their source. Even the drow, who live in dark and dark areas and are afraid of sunlight, maintain their existence with positive energy.

When exposed to negative energy, drow's life will also wither.

Such creatures may be called "positive energy creatures", while undead creatures are natural "negative energy creatures".

The two are inherently opposite, and it is difficult to coexist.

Seeing Priest Morton so easily create a group of undead creatures that seem to have wisdom, how could Xia Duo not be shocked by it!

Once the undead creatures spread, there is no room for living creatures to live!

Although this Morton priest was invited by the Severton Council to help, he should be quite credible, but the other party has too many evil intentions.

But what happened next made Xia Duo feel a lot of fear and vigilance towards Priest Morton.

I saw that group of murloc undead creatures with red eyes began to cull towards their original kind. The fighting method was extremely simple, and there was no strategy at all, just rushing forward to release negative energy.

The living murlocs who were impacted by the negative energy almost became fatigued in the blink of an eye. As the negative energy impact of the undead murlocs continued, the life of the living murlocs soon came to an end.

And a living creature, no matter how its life ends, will release negative energy after its death.

It's just that after a normal death, the corpse releases negative energy very slowly. As long as there are not a large number of corpses piled up, it is even difficult to accumulate negative energy.

But those were all normal deaths, but now, these living murlocs were killed by negative energy, and they released a large amount of negative energy the moment they died.

It was as if all the negative energy released slowly during normal death had been concentrated and released.

As a result, a chain reaction appeared, and the dark mist-like phenomenon produced by the accumulation of a large amount of negative energy began to spread northward along the Wolfburg River, and any living things along the way were swallowed by the ever-spreading dark mist.

Priest Morton, on the other hand, looked completely indifferent, motionless, silently watching everything that was happening in the north.

……

Seemingly noticing the apprehensive and vigilant expressions on everyone's faces, Archmage Auron took the initiative to explain: "If you want to deal with these murlocs quickly and properly, this is already the best way. Don't worry, High Priest Morton will deal with it." All good!"

Xia Duo didn't talk to him, not only him, but Niya also remained silent. If she had any doubts about Netheril's prohibition of necromancers in the past, now she has no doubts at all.

If you just study negative energy, it's nothing. The mark of a necromancer is to create a large number of undead creatures, and Niya has already seen the consequences of a large number of undead creatures.

If this is not prohibited, then many things are really out of control.

In terms of dealing with negative energy, undead creatures, and necromancers, the kingdoms of the elves are more radical than Netheril. At least Netheril still allows the existence of undead creatures. It is no problem to study negative energy, but large-scale production of undead creatures is prohibited. .

In the Elven Kingdoms, as long as undead creatures are found, the only result is to be wiped out. In the same way, negative energy and necromancers are also handled in the same way.

Looking at Priest Morton not far away, who was completely non-living, Niya felt chills in her heart, and it was rare for her to agree with the actions of the elves.

She moved to Xia Duo's side, touched the back of her husband's hand, and asked quietly: "The murloc tide has been resolved, but the influence of negative energy flow is difficult to eliminate, is there no other way? "

"Didn't Master Aolong say that this is the best way? Since the higher authorities have arranged for Priest Morton to come over, they will definitely consider the follow-up impact. Let's watch with peace of mind!"

Xia Duo answered in this way, in fact, to comfort himself. In the current situation, there is really no way to clean up the murlocs as efficiently as Priest Morton.

Even if he used his portable space to clean up in batches, it was not as efficient as Priest Morton.

Moreover, their two methods, one manual and the other almost fully automatic, consume completely different energy consumption.

And if it was done by other people, even the Grand Arcanist himself would probably be exhausted after cleaning up so many murlocs.

As for ordinary people, if they have enough time, they may be able to clean up slowly.

But the New Year's celebration is coming soon, and it's still winter, and it's freezing, so how can we recruit a large number of ordinary people to clean up the murlocs!

Perhaps it was also for this reason that the Severton Council or the Seven Towers decided to ask Priest Morton to take action, so as to quickly eliminate the impact.

……

Darkvision allows Xia Duo to see things at night, but it is not as convenient as during the day after all. It didn't take long for the torrent of negative energy spreading northward along the Wolfburg River to disappear from his field of vision.

At this time, Priest Morton, who had been standing motionless by the river bank, suddenly moved. He turned his head and stared at the crowd with red eyes.

After the previous scenes, and the torrent of negative energy has not dissipated, everyone was shocked, and then Archmage Aolong conveyed on his behalf:

"We are leaving. The torrent of negative energy has gone northward. High Priest Morton needs to keep in control. As for the blockage at Lake Mecht, Master Byron has specifically explained that High Priest Morton will take care of it. You don't have to Worry."

After finishing speaking, Auron turned around and nodded to Priest Morton, and saluted Priest Morton, and the latter responded as if, his eyes flashed, and then he jumped into the river and merged with the torrent of negative energy.

Immediately afterwards, the torrent of negative energy starting from the river at the original site of the Tower of Time began to slowly shrink towards the north, and even the murlocs who had been transformed into undead creatures disappeared together.

Only a piece of clear and transparent river water was left, swaying slightly.
