It took a lot of effort for the mercenary Wang Lance to appease the excited envoys of the allies and the high-ranking officials in the court, and then he was able to return to his nest smoothly.

To be honest, whether it is the mercenary king or these politicians, they are actually just playing against each other. The sudden appearance of this powerful old magician was obviously a nuisance to the sub-politicians, but until there was a formal conflict of interest, no one would want to deal with such a strong man, who was probably quite bad-tempered: God knows if the old magician would turn the person who opposed him directly into a lamb.

And the mercenary king is actually well aware of this, but this was originally a strategy he discussed with Roger and other thinkers, so he is naturally very willing to see these politicians automatically and consciously jump into the pit one by one.

But what made the mercenary king a little worried was that Old Man Simon obviously saw something unusual. After the "Merlin" magician left, the old man quietly guided everyone with various words, so that everyone's attention was completely focused on the "Merlin" magician. But at the same time, he also grasped this "degree" very well, so that these politicians were angry and at the same time, they also had scruples, and did not dare to really take any action against this "Merlin" magician. Then when everyone was excited, Old Man Simon has been cooperating with the mercenary king to appease everyone, so that this discussion can end safely.

However, the more Old Man Simon did it, the better he cooperated with the Mercenary King, and the more the Mercenary King felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, Old Man Simon's reliability can actually be determined, but the mercenary king has to hide the truth all the time for a short time. Even if the old man may have guessed some of them, it is the same.

This thought made the mercenary king's mood very unhappy, and this unhappiness reached a climax when he saw the old magician "Merlin" in the study talking happily with his daughter Alice.

So the mercenary king suddenly reached out and patted "Merlin" on the shoulder, directly slapping most of his body numb. Then he said slowly: "Okay, there is no one else here, you can remove your disguise." ”

The old magician "Merlin" nodded helplessly and put his hand into his arms. A faint layer of white light slowly covered the figure of "Merlin", and when the white light quickly dissipated, it was Roger's figure that appeared in place.

However, at this time, Roger was already slightly different from his original image: the original purple hair had turned gray and white at this time, and there were some small changes to the eyebrows, eye corners and other details. It makes Roger look like two people like the original "him".

"In addition to the Fraud Orb, you actually deliberately changed your image for this, and it wasn't a direct magic?" The Mercenary King raised an eyebrow. "Is it necessary to make such a fuss?"

"There's nothing wrong with being careful." Roger stroked the scattered gray-white hair, and replied to the mercenary king somewhat casually: "There are actually a lot of treasures and abilities that can see through this deceptive orb. But after I dyed my hair this color and put on a little makeup, even if someone really saw through the disguise of the Fraud Orb. At most, I just think I'm deliberately pretending to be old. In fact, there are many magicians who are not young but have an ageless face who will disguise themselves like this. It's just that the treasures I use are relatively high-end. ”

After tying his hair into a ponytail with a strip of cloth, Roger turned his head to look at the mercenary king and said very seriously: "In any case, as long as my identity is not revealed, the power of the Emerald City can become a hole card for you, and this hole card is far more convenient and effective than the elf assistance on the surface." At the same time, after such a disguise, it will be easier for me to enter and exit this court. ”

"What's more, isn't this just to make some preparations for the extremely important God of War Sacrifice in your mouth?" Roger spread his hands at the mercenary king helplessly, "This is still your proposal to rely on a few bombshell news to hide this purpose." But is there really no way to bypass this so-called God of War Festival? ”

"If Alice wants to become the mercenary queen safely, she must successfully pass this challenge called the God of War Festival!" Mercenary Wang Lance said very seriously.

The so-called God of War Festival. As the name suggests, it is, of course, a celebration for the birthday of the god of war. Celebrations of gods like this are actually very common, after all, many of the gods now are from various powerhouses of the main plane.

However, the subtle thing is that such a celebration will vary in detail depending on the preferences of each deity, the most famous of which is the God of War Festival. The first half of the annual festival is as lively as other festivals, but in the second half of the festival, it is famous for the "Grand Duel", which is held every three years in the Colosseum in the city of West Kerd.

In the years when the "Grand Duel" was not held, the royal family of Gelaru would also organize some merchants to hold auctions and other activities, but these were not as far-reaching as the "Grand Duel" of the God of War Festival.

"In fact, for the legendary powerhouses, the duels confined to the legend are not interesting at all, let alone look at these duels from the perspective of the gods." The mercenary king shook his head helplessly, "But this activity has long become a tradition, and the chain of interests in it is quite complicated, and under the witness of the gods, even I can't do anything about this activity." ”

"Many members of the Gelaru royal family have participated in this event, and I also successfully won a championship back then." The mercenary king looked at Alice helplessly, "Now this big duel has become a stage for masters from all over the world to show themselves, and every three years, a large number of masters come here for various reasons to show their martial arts in the gladiatorial arena, making this event a grand event for the entire continent." ”

"As a woman, Alice doesn't have much difficulty in taking my place as queen, after all, there are actually a lot of precedents for this." The Mercenary King smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But now that the Demon Calamity is approaching, if Alice can't quickly subdue all potential opposition forces, she is likely to be defeated in the upcoming Demon Calamity." And winning the championship in this grand duel and successfully obtaining the blessing of the god of war will definitely greatly enhance the sense of identity of the people of the Free Federation. Especially the blessing of the god of war, if you can successfully obtain this blessing, at least the Church of the Gods will not dare to try to meddle in the political situation of the Free Federation after you take over the throne. ”

The corners of Roger's mouth couldn't help but pull, and his eyes looked directly at Alice like the mercenary king, and sure enough, he found Alice's sad face.

After all, there are many masters in this world, even if they are limited to legends, there are masters like Roger with all kinds of extraordinary means. Not to mention, even Alice has a move like the Holy Spirit that can become a legendary powerhouse in a short period of time. Although she had already sealed this trick herself, the competitors in the Grand Duel would not waste their hole cards like her, so the pressure on Alice's shoulders could be said to be extremely huge, and it was no wonder that Alice looked so distressed.

"Well, I'll have some members of the Night Elves come to this duel." Roger quickly came up with an idea, "They're going to try to keep Alice from being too strong." As for the rest, it can only be said that it is up to Alice herself. ”

After thinking about it, Roger looked at Alice again and shook his head at the mercenary king and said, "Didn't you say that there are still three months before the God of War Sacrifice, and during this time, I will conduct some targeted special training for Alice." But will your body be able to sustain that time? ”

The Mercenary King sighed slowly: "With some of the secret potions of the royal family, and the kind of secret medicine you gave me last time, I can barely support it in three months, but I can't say how much strength I will have left at that time." By the way, do you still have the elixir from the Druid Elder in your hand? ”

Shaking his head, Roger took out a dozen potion bottles from his arms, all of which were terrible potions with a strange aura of "Malus's secret medicine", "I have this medicine in my hand, but you can't drink more of this medicine, you can only drink one bottle a day at most." ”

It is a medicine with three poisons, and although these medicines made by the three elders are mild medicines that mainly have effects such as "recovery" and "driving away bad effects", they are also the same as various tonics, and they are definitely not allowed to drink too much in one go.

However, usually drinkers pour a bottle, and there is no chance to drink more.

"That's enough, so that I can continue to be in the same state as I am at the celebration three months from now." The Mercenary King's face showed some joy, usually no one would want to die early, and the Mercenary King was no exception. However, the mercenary king, who thought that this "Malus's secret medicine" was very precious, really didn't want Roger to take out too much, after all, the money and debts were easy to repay, and the personal debts would be troublesome.

"You can rest assured that although this secret medicine is a secret medicine, there will be a lot of it produced by the Third Elder every month, and no one will drink it, so it is definitely not a big problem for you to drink one bottle a day." Seeing through the mercenary king's thoughts, Roger explained helplessly: "In addition, I will also discuss with the three elders to make some improved potions specifically for restoring vitality according to your situation." ”

Speaking of this, Roger's heart suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the mercenary king: Although the three elders are also trying to improve the potion to make it more palatable, but since the last time the potion improved for Tuna and them poured down as soon as Tuna drank it, no one dared to drink the potion anymore.

After all, even Aisha said that the three elders' potions are getting more and more difficult to drink, and God knows if the mercenary king, who is already very fortunate to drink the current potion, can withstand the powerful version of "Malus's secret medicine".

Pausing the cane with the shrunken jasper bamboo in his hand to the ground, Roger turned into an old man from the light again, and then looked at Alice with a distressed face and said, "Let's go, let's go to the martial arts arena first and see how strong you are now." (To be continued......)
