Meanwhile, Mark is leading the king around the city.

"Can you really tell where the magic nodes are through this map?" The warrior looked at the map that the king had drawn in his hand.

Wang: "It should be fine. Although the map is hand-drawn, it is quite accurate, and the main landmarks are clearly marked. For example, the statue of Langdon I is only one meter to the left of its actual position. ”

Mark looked up at the statue of the original Duke of Langdon and noticed a crow perched above the statue.

Mark: "How do you know for sure it's off one meter?" ”

"I have mastered a variant of the positioning technique, which my teacher developed back then to solve my own road idiot problem."

The warrior frowned, and his hand pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist: "You cast a spell?" ”

"Yes, I've always had the effect of this spell on me."

Mark: "I didn't see you pronouncing words?" ”

When casting a spell with a verbal element, the spell needs to be pronounced clearly and accurately, which usually means that the surrounding creatures can hear the spell, and most common spells contain a verbal element, which is why Mark is so surprised.

Wang: "I cast this spell when I set out in the morning, after all, Landon is a big city, and it lacks a complete urban plan, and the roads are chaotic. Without this spell, I probably wouldn't have been able to even get to your tavern before the meeting time. ”

"Three wild boars." Mark said, "Our tavern is called Three Wild Boars. What do you mean by departure...... Do you mean when you haven't left the Mage Tower? ”

"Yes."

"Is this spell so long-lasting?"

"It can last five hours, and now there is a little bit of time, maybe five to ten minutes?"

"You don't know the way after that?"

Wang smiled: "How is it possible, I still firmly remember the way back to the three wild boars from here, and I don't have my teacher's road idiot attributes." However, if you continue to visit the locations in the city where magic may be deployed, you will have to trouble yourself. ”

Mark patted his chest: "Leave it to me." So have you finished reading this statue? ”

"After reading it, there is no magic aura, at least this place has nothing to do with the disappearance of wild cats and wild dogs."

"Where do we go down here?"

Wang pointed to the lower right corner of the map: "There is a square here." ”

Mark glanced at the map: "Gallows Square, where people sentenced to death are executed every Monday." It was surrounded by some of the city's most chaotic neighborhoods, so the firing squad had to be escorted by a brigade of ten knights and their henchmen.

"Even so, robberies are a common occurrence, most recently a month ago, when a half-orc rode his wolf and carried twenty-two knives to the firing squad to take the prisoners from the prisoner cart.

"If it weren't for the escort mage's slow technique, he might have succeeded."

King: "An orc? Still riding a wolf? How will his wolf sneak out of the guards' sight? ”

Mark spread his hands: "Who knows?" ”

"In other words, in addition to the city gates, there are also passages that allow large four-legged creatures like wolf warriors to enter the city."

"Wait, why do you only care about orc wolves?"

"Because as far as I can see, Langdon City, as the confluence of the Shield Road and the River Lyenland, has a large population of various races, and it is not uncommon for orcs to be orcs. But the wolf warrior of the half-orc is very rare. As I entered the city, the orcs I saw were also riding horses. ”

Mark pouted: "Well, I have to admit that after you said that, I found out that this wolf is the biggest problem." ”

Wang: "Right? Let's go, according to the scale of this diagram, we will walk for half an hour to get to Gallows Square. ”

"What is a scale? Is this a lingua franca? ”

is the lingua franca. How could you not understand this word? As an adventurer, you should always look at the map, right? ”

"Yes, I watch it a lot."

"But you don't know what scale is?"

"Do I need to know these things? Isn't it just a matter of knowing where you're going? ”

Wang raised his eyebrows: "Indeed, if you don't understand scale...... As long as there are landmarks on the map to refer to, you can also know the location. But how do you plan your troops' marches or set up supply routes? ”

Mark laughed and put his hand on the mage's shoulder, "You actually think I have a part in this kind of thing? No, no, this is something that the knights and their servants worry about. I just have to look at the landmarks and know where I am and where I'm going. ”

Wang was speechless: "I see. But Drow, Miss Elf, is clearly well versed in cartography, and the scale of this map is almost exactly right. ”

In a city like Langdon City, elves are quite common, but drow elves are different, just saying the word drow in public is likely to be reported to the city guard.

Drow elves are generally seen as a symbol of evil and chaos, and in the minstrels' stories they often play the role of the villain's combatants, or even the villains themselves.

The king almost said Miss Drow.

Mark reassured him, "Don't be so nervous, in fact, in the Wanderers' Guild, there are more unusual things than Drow. Sunlight and shadows always go hand in hand. Let's go, pay attention to your spellcasting material packs.

"While I don't think our loiters will give others a chance to covet your stuff, it's always a good idea to be careful."

Wang nodded, and then he suddenly had an epiphany expression: "I know why the eldest lady doesn't want to find the holy knight anymore." The moment the paladin saw Miss Elf, he would shout, 'Look, that evil is worth fighting,' and then attack without saying anything. ”

Mark frowned: "Did you just realize it?" ”

"I realized," Wang readily admitted, "after all, I'd only seen drow elves and paladins in books before. ”

Mark frowned, speechless: "God, we actually started to act under the command of a nerd like you. I'm starting to worry about the future of Her Royal Highness. ”

Wang casually asked, "Is the situation that Her Royal Highness is facing now very dangerous?" ”

"It's not dangerous now, because since discovering her warlock talent, the Duke has hired an old warlock as her teacher, that is, a master who can cast six-ring spells, you must know that the duke's advisor can only cast seven-ring spells, and the court archmage who is visiting today is proficient in eight-ring magic."

Wang frowned: "Could it be ...... It's rare to see someone in the outside world who can cast the Nine Rings spell? ”

"What you say, is it true that the Nine Ring Masters are everywhere in the 'inside'?"

Wang: "Do you mean inside my teacher's tower?" It's okay. After reaching the level of casting the Nine Rings, mana is no longer the main limitation, whether you can cast the Nine Rings spell, how many Nine Ring spells you can cast, the main view is the master's own understanding of the world.

That's what the book says.

"That's why the mage has to go on a study tour, 'you can't become an archmage just by hiding in the tower and reading', this is what my teacher said."

The king paused, and found that Mark had an expression like listening to heaven, so he continued to explain: "This ...... It's like the Confusion Control Spell, I'm not good at the Confusion Control System, and I often fail to use the simplest charm to charm humans......"

Mark: "Wait a minute, is it the simplest spell to charm humans?" ”

"Yes, the goal of a successful spell is simply to treat you as a trusted friend."

Mark: "God, I thought the target would do your bidding. ”

Wang frowned slightly, but didn't pay much attention, he explained, "You can try to order him, but just like you make requests to other friends, he won't necessarily listen." And if you or your teammates make a threatening move against him, such as attacking him, the spell will be invalidated. ”

The mage apprentice paused, swallowed his saliva before continuing: "Just because I am really not good at confusing the control system, I basically don't prepare spells for the confusion control system, and don't expect me to use spells like immobilizing humans in the future. ”

Mark: "Is it really good for you to just talk about your weaknesses?" It's like telling His Highness that I'm afraid of arcane missiles. I'm a swordsman, and I'm going to be killed by immobilizing humans. It's great news for me that you won't prepare this spell. ”

The king paused and looked at the swordsman: "It seems to ...... That's how it goes. But you won't attack me, will you? ”

Mark was silent for two seconds and laughed, "That's right." Who would betray the lovely eldest lady? ”

Wang: "Wait a minute, you said that, did you stay in the team because of her beauty?" ”

"Of course not. When I was at my worst, it was the eldest lady who gave me a piece of bread. She was only five years old at the time. ”

Wang: "Sounds similar to Miss Elf's story?" ”

"That's it. In the current situation, His Royal Highness the eldest prince who wants to bet on stability, and the second prince who wants to fight, only those of us who want to fight will gather around the princess for emotional reasons. ”

Wang: "Sounds good, people with emotional reasons are the most loyal." ”

Mark: "At least more loyal than someone who wants to be a princess." ”

Wang: "That's my body's idea, not my soul's choice." So, if the East Window incident really happened, what is the chance of the princess winning? ”

"Zero." Mark blurted out, "Okay, let's get busy with the missing cats and dogs first." After chatting for a while, we were already halfway there, and Gallows Square was just ahead. ”
