Murphy woke up in a good mood this morning, because last night he blatantly rubbed against the high priest's plump and soft peaks.

Although I paid a little price for it, it was worth it.

This is much better than being sneaky in the past. Let him recall for a long time.

But this good mood didn't last long. After arriving at the port with the general's guard, a bad news made his face extremely gloomy!

………………

------------------------------

Immediately after Murphy arrived at the port, the soldiers who stayed behind last night brought Murphy very bad news.

Three citizens of Athens were brutally murdered last night!

Murphy was shocked when he heard the news, and then walked quickly towards the scene of the incident.

………………

The deceased was a family of three, and they were fishermen in the town of Athens. When they died, the fishing boat was docked near a ferry about 300 meters away from the port. There are quite a few fishermen like this in the city of Athens. Although they also have houses in the city, they mostly put their homes on fishing boats for convenience and return to the shore every three to five days. By the way, sell the caught fish for other daily necessities.

When Murphy arrived, there were already many people gathered around.

The people were panicking and discussing, but when they saw Murphy arriving, they immediately retreated respectfully to the left and right to make way for a passage.

The deceased was a family of three, husband, wife and child.

After being found, their bodies were carried to the shore.

"When did you find it?" Murphy walked to the corpse, raised his hand and lifted the linen covering it and asked the soldiers beside him.

"Your Excellency, it was this morning. Other fishermen found blood on their boat, and that's when they found out." The soldier replied in response.

Although he didn't know how to perform an autopsy, as a commander who had experienced the wars of the cold weapon era, Murphy was able to determine the cause of death of these people in no time.

The first to die were two grown men.

There was a flat wound on their necks, the wound was very deep, almost running through the entire throat.

Obviously, they were attacked and killed by the enemy in their sleep. The creatures that sneaked up on them were so sensitive that they were able to sneak up on the ship and kill them without knowing it. The fishing boat is not big, and the movement of slightly larger creatures climbing onto the fishing boat may wake them up. In other words, the enemy who attacked them should be small in size, or they might have been discovered as soon as they climbed onto the fishing boat.

After these small creatures climbed onto the fishing boat, they first killed two adult men.

At this time, the only woman on board was also awakened.

She just woke up from her sleep, and before she regained her sanity, a sharp weapon stabbed at her!

Instinctively, she dodged a bit.

That's why the wound on the female corpse was a little bit below the neck.

The woman who was stabbed didn't die immediately, she just wanted to scream, but the creatures that killed her husband's child rushed forward and covered her mouth. The woman began to struggle, she opened her mouth and bit the hand covering her mouth, at this moment, another sharp knife cut her throat.

The left ear of the female corpse was bitten off, and there were uneven tooth marks on it.

According to Murphy's estimation, the sneak attacking creature should have been enraged and bit it off.

The only one with signs of struggle on the three corpses was the female corpse, so Murphy deduced the general situation based on some details.

"It didn't rain last night, so some traces should not have been washed away." After making a rough inference, Murphy signaled the public to feel at ease for the time being, ignored the flattery of several officials behind him, signaled the soldiers to follow, and moved towards The fishing boats moored on the shore walked.

The officials who helped maintain the security of the port immediately followed quickly, and several newly promoted aboriginal officials also followed.

There was blood all over the boat.

There were strange bloody footprints on the ground.

Obviously, those creatures didn't think about erasing the traces after killing people again.

The footprints were small, which just confirmed why Murphy deduced that they were small. The height of these creatures should not exceed 1.5 meters, with only three toes. It's not like a race that is active on land.

After walking around the fishing boat, Murphy found some traces at the stern of the boat.

Dark green traces, as if left by some kind of creature.

He looked around carefully, then dipped a little of the dark green substance with his finger and put it under his nose to smell it.

"Fish smell!" Murphy said in a deep voice, frowning.

Glancing around at the officials around him, Murphy set his sights on the aborigines and asked, "Are there other primitive races living on the Nidoria River?"

Several aboriginal officials shook their heads upon hearing this.

At this moment, an elderly native standing outside suddenly asked, "Could it be a murloc?"

This sentence seems to remind those aboriginal officials.

The few of them looked at each other and said in unison: "Murloc Nightcrawler?!"

Murloc Nightcrawler! ?

Murphy was startled when he heard the name, and he couldn't help but frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What is that? Tell me clearly."

Under Murphy's questioning, several aborigines told each other the whole story.

………………

It is impossible to verify when the murlocs appeared.

The first time humans saw these species was in coastal areas. They are small in size, with an average height of only about 1.2 meters. These creatures called murlocs have the head of a fish, but the limbs of intelligent creatures. They have some scales on their bodies, which are natural armor. These creatures have little strength, but their movements are very sensitive, and they are brutal by nature, very aggressive!

Murlocs are mainly active in coastal areas, with tribes as their groups. A Murloc tribe has a population of about 300 to 600. The leader is the strongest murloc, and some large murloc tribes may have shamans who can wield elemental powers.

Because of living by the sea, the humans whose development centered on the southern plains have never had any conflicts with the murlocs.

This continued until about a decade ago.

Because the land was invaded by many powerful creatures, the human city-state decided to set up a fleet to find new land by sea and explore the human race living in other parts of the continent. News of the fleet was lost a week after it was dispatched. After some time, some human survivors escaped back. From their mouths, the human city-state learned for the first time that a very large group of murlocs migrated to the end of the Nidolia River, which is near the point where it flows to the sea. These murlocs are different from other murlocs that humans have seen. They come from the sea, they are stronger and taller, and their temperament is more cruel and greedy!

They have a very iconic feature, which is a dark scale on the back.

They are called - dark scale murlocs!

A large murloc tribe that migrated to the coastal banks of the Nidolia River more than ten years ago.

From the mouths of the survivors, the human city-states learned that these unique dark scale murlocs have a very elite army!

They are quick in action, good at lurking and assassination, and can blend with the seawater at night. Skilled with short spears and blades, these murlocs are capable of galloping fast and leaping great distances!

They are called - murloc night crawlers!

The way humans explored by sea has been terminated, and conflicts with murlocs at the coastal border have also occurred from time to time.

But fortunately, although murlocs are brutal and aggressive by nature, they can't stay out of the water for too long. Therefore, although there were occasional murloc tribes attacking the towns along the river, they never attacked land areas. Currently, some anthropologists are studying these dark scale murlocs that have migrated nearby. After a period of understanding, these anthropologists have come up with an amazing hypothesis!

That is, creatures like murlocs are likely to be vassals of some intelligent creatures in the sea!

………………

------------------------------------

"Dark scale murloc?" Murphy looked at the aborigines in front of him, frowned and said in a low voice, "This place is more than 500 kilometers away from the sea!"

"Even if those dark scale murlocs want to attack, they are still attacking the human towns ahead."

"How could they come to Athens across a distance of more than five hundred kilometers to attack humans?"

Murphy's words silenced the aborigines.

To be honest, they were also a little puzzled. Darkscale murlocs have always attacked humans, and that is also the area at the farthest edge of the southern plain and closest to the sea. The city of Athens is already at the forefront of the southern plain. In the upward direction, it is already entering the inland area of ​​the mainland.

With a distance of 500 kilometers, this was already far beyond the scope of the Darkscale murloc tribe's activities.

However, if it wasn't a dark scale murloc, what kind of creature would it be?

The citizens of the city of Athens have all received certain military training. Even a fisherman can be regarded as half a soldier. Even if ordinary murlocs migrated here, they wouldn't be able to kill two adult men with military training so easily! Besides, ordinary murlocs don't have such sharp weapons in their hands! The only thing that can be justified is that the ones who assassinated them were the more powerful Darkscale murlocs, and even those so-called elite 'Murloc Nightcrawlers'!

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Murphy, who had nothing to gain, could only pat his head, and said to the herald next to him: "Give all the fishermen weapons, and tell them not to stay outside at night, and return to them after nightfall." Port rest."

"Yes!" the herald replied.

At this time, the sun has risen.

The sun was scattered all around, and suddenly Murphy saw a ray of golden light refracted from a certain position on the fishing boat and shone into his eyes.

He walked over quickly, and found a strange thing from under the wooden partition.

It was a scale.

Golden scales.

The shape is a bit like the carp in the previous life, but it is bigger.

There is a trace of blood on the scale, but it is unknown what creature it originally belonged to.
