Arcane Lord

Seeing this scene, Sha Duo only felt his scalp numb. In fact, he could also open the negative energy channel, but he was unwilling to come into contact with negative energy, and he could not transform undead creatures as efficiently as Priest Morton.

After all, he wasn't planning 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, Shado had seen many undead creatures, including the night watchmen of Savile Territory and the goblin undead creatures created by the priest Mote who guards the cemetery in Daxia Territory.

But there was a red light in the eyes, and there was no one with intelligence. Not to mention the goblin undead creatures, it was like a joke, and they were tied up with ropes, and they couldn't even communicate with each other basicly.

The night watchman also needs to be commanded by a living person with wisdom. The commander is usually a death priest who is on duty, or a specific soldier who inherits special responsibilities.

The undead night watchers can't do much good on their own.

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

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

Therefore, in Xia Duo's view, undead creatures are inherently unable to relate to things of order and negative entropy such as [wisdom].

But it is an undeniable fact that undead creatures can have intelligence, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

Sha Duo was still very interested in intelligent, self-aware undead creatures, but that was the extent of his interest. Once he saw such an existence with his own eyes, he was even more shocked.

Living creatures such as humans, elves, and dwarves actually feed on positive energy. Even the drow who live in dark areas and are afraid of sunlight have their lives maintained by 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 naturally "negative energy creatures".

The two are inherently antagonistic and find it difficult to coexist.

Seeing how easily Priest Morton created a group of seemingly intelligent undead creatures, how could Shado not be shocked?

Once the undead creatures spread, there will be no room for living creatures to survive!

Although this Morton priest was invited by the Sevington Council for help, he should be quite trustworthy. Unexpectedly, the other party has too many evil intentions.

But everything that happened next made Sha Duo deeply fearful and wary of Priest Morton.

I saw a group of undead fish-men with glowing red eyes beginning to attack their original kind. The fighting method was extremely simple and there was no strategy at all. They just rushed forward to release negative energy.

The living fish-man who was hit by the negative energy almost became exhausted in the blink of an eye. As the negative energy impact of the undead fish-man continued, the life of the living fish-man soon came to an end.

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

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

But those were all normal deaths, but now, these living fish-men were killed by negative energy. The moment they died, they released a large amount of negative energy.

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

As a result, a chain reaction occurred. A phenomenon similar to a gray fog produced by the accumulation of a large amount of negative energy began to spread along the Wolfburg River to the north. Any living creature along the way was swallowed up by this spreading gray fog.

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

…

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

Shado didn't speak, not only him, but Niya was also silent. If she had doubts about Netheril's ban on necromancers in the past, now she had no doubts at all.

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

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

In terms of dealing with negative energy, undead creatures, and necromancers, the elven nations are more radical than Netheril. At least Netheril allows the existence of undead creatures. There is no problem in researching negative energy, but it prohibits large-scale production of undead creatures. .

In the elven kingdoms, as long as undead creatures are discovered, the only result is to be destroyed. In the same way, negative energy and necromancers are also dealt with in this way.

Looking at Priest Morton not far away, who was completely non-living, Niya felt a chill in her heart, and it was rare for her to feel approval of the behavior of the elven kingdoms.

She moved closer to Xia Duo, touched the back of her husband's hand, and quietly asked: "The fish crowd has been solved, but the influence of the flow of negative energy is difficult to eliminate. Is there no other way? "

"Didn't Archmage Auron say this is the best way? Since the higher-ups have arranged for Priest Morton to come over, they will definitely consider the subsequent impact, so just watch with peace of mind!"

Shado's answer was actually to comfort himself. In the current situation, there was indeed no way to clean up the fishmen as efficiently as Priest Morton.

Even if he uses his portable space to clean up in batches, it can't be as efficient as Priest Morton.

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

And if it were someone else to do it, even if the Grand Arcanist took action himself, he would probably be exhausted after clearing out so many murlocs.

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

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

Perhaps it was for this reason that the Severnton Council or the Seven Towers decided to ask Priest Morton to take action to quickly eliminate the impact.

…

Dark vision allowed Shado to see at night, but it was not as convenient as during the day. Not long after, the torrent of negative energy spreading north along the Wolfburg River disappeared from his sight.

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

After the previous scenes, and the torrent of negative energy that had not yet dissipated, everyone was stunned, and then Archmage Auron conveyed on his behalf:

"We are leaving. The torrent of negative energy has moved north. High Priest Morton needs to follow the past to maintain control. As for the blockage at Lake Macht, Master Byron has specifically stated before that High Priest Morton will handle it. You don't have to Worry."

After saying that, Auron turned around and nodded to Priest Morton and saluted. The latter responded with his eyes flashing, and then 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 toward the north, and the fish-men who had been transformed into undead creatures also disappeared.

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