009 Aggregating information in the tavern is a necessary step in the adventure

Wang: "So can we leave this matter to the druids?" After all...... Elizabeth's principle is that professional things are done for professional people, and the druids are obviously the most professional. ”

Mishasara shook her head: "No, the druids have always relied on small animals in the city to provide information, and stray cats and dogs are the majority of them. ”

Elizabeth: "You mean, their intelligence capabilities are not good now?" ”

"That's what it means." The cat man spreads his hands.

Elizabeth: "Well, we were going to investigate ourselves anyway. During today's last etiquette class, Marilyn told me a story about goblins who like to marinate cats and dogs and make them into dry food......"

Wang: "No, they actually prefer rats. ”

"What?"

"Rats are the rodents that often steal human food." Wang continued.

"I know, but eat rats...... Forget it, let's not discuss this issue. So now the information we've gathered points to the fact that all of this is done by goblins? ”

Wang shook his head: "No, the information we have only proves that this is not magic or the druid's doing, and there is still no conclusive evidence of who did it." ”

"But Marilyn said......"

The king interrupted Elizabeth: "Who is Marilyn?" ”

Marika: "The companion of the eldest lady, the daughter of the baron's family." Big-breasted vase girl. ”

Elizabeth: "Don't say that about my friend...... Although it is true that her grades are not very good. ”

Wang: "Does big breasts mean that she also has obvious secondary sex characteristics?" ”

"That's what you care about!" Elizabeth glared at the mage, then subconsciously pressed her right hand on the neckline of the dress.

Wang: "I'm just confirming. So isn't His Highness's friend a character who is known for his intellect and knowledge? ”

"Yes." Elizabeth hesitated, but nodded.

Wang: "That's strange, she told you at this time that goblins eat cats, as if they were deliberately luring us." ”

Elizabeth frowned: "You mean ......"

"I mean, you should ask her where she heard about it."

"I'll ask tomorrow."

Mark: "Then until His Highness gets an answer tomorrow, will we be fine?" ”

"No," Wang decisively denied this, "in fact, misleading the action itself says a lot. I mean, let's assume this is indeed a misleading action. ”

Elizabeth: "Not a goblin?" ”

Such an inference cannot be made on the basis of misleading alone. But we can imagine what we would do if we believed. ”

Mark: "We'll ......"

Wang: "It's going to go underground to investigate, isn't it?" We had such a plan, and the underground, according to Bob, was full of shady things. What are the benefits of inducing us to go underground? ”

"Assault." Marika coldly spat out a word.

Wang: "That's the most likely conclusion. We have been attacked this afternoon and the person who attacked us said it was a test. But they clearly came with the idea of killing. Is this really a test? No, I'm afraid it would be better if you could get rid of me by the way.

"Looking back at the details of the attack in the afternoon, the enemy arranged archers upstairs, but the archers did not strike. Why? Because that's for me. Their plan is probably to wait for the mage to remove the protective magic from my body, and then use the archers to sneak up on me. ”

Mark: "Wait a minute, you don't have any protective magic on you!" ”

Wang: "But I climbed up the platform of the gallows when I was invisible, because I couldn't see the people on the ground because of the smoke, but I had a view of the rooftop. I saw the archers. ”

Mark slapped his thigh: "So you blocked their shooting with the corpses hanging on the gallows!" ”

Wang: "Yes, because of the wind-making technique of the enemy mage, the corpse is shaking from side to side, interfering with the archers. But because I'm on the ground, I happen to have the view of the enemy mage. ”

The mage said as he put his finger into the cup in front of Elizabeth and dipped it in water to draw on the table.

The gallows, the corpses, the height of the wooden platform under the gallows, and the location of the enemy mages were drawn by the king with a simple schematic diagram.

Wang: "I blessed my slingling attack with the enemy machine, and no matter what spell the enemy mage wants to cast, this attack will inevitably make it difficult for him to concentrate, so I can cast the next spell before he does." ”

Marika: "But your slings will take him over." Very beautiful. ”

Mark: "I wonder what the next spell you were going to cast was?" ”

"I'm going to use the Ice Blade, also known as the Ice Arrow."

Elizabeth was a little disappointed: "Not a magic missile? Isn't it more appropriate to have a magic missile that is obviously guaranteed to hit? There is no shield on the other party! ”

Wang: "But if the opponent has a shield that can be triggered quickly, this spell opportunity will be wasted." ”

Marika: "Wait a minute! ”

She stared at the mage, "It sounds like you're on the lookout for enemy magic items, but...... I think you're habitually wary of triggers. The main reason for choosing the Ice Arrow is that even if the Ice Arrow misses, it will explode and will not be completely harmless.

"You might even just aim at the ground beneath the mage's feet."

Wang: "Another point, the material of the ice arrow is simple, a little water is enough. So you can spit in your hands, and take other materials from the bag. ”

Everyone watched as the mage fell silent.

Elizabeth had an expression of disbelief: "I...... Never thought of it that way. You...... Did I find a particularly powerful spellcaster this time? ”

Marika: "You may have found an archmage who has hidden his true strength. ”

Wang looked at the Drow Elf solemnly: "No, I am really the magic apprentice of the Three Rings. I'm not good at lying. ”

Marika: "yes, I can see that. You say you're the third ring, and it really really is. But your subconscious performance just now is not fake. You are very familiar with the duel between high-ranking mages. ”

Wang: "As I said at the beginning, I'm proficient in all known spells, including the ones I can't cast. So the spell book seized from the other spellcaster was of no use to me. Oh yes, is this spellbook going to sell for some money? Who's going to sell it for me? ”

As he spoke, he took out a worn-out spell book from his dimensional pouch.

Marika: "I'll do it." ”

After handing the spell book to Marika, the king hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where did you just go?" ”

"You're an apprentice of the Three Rings." Elizabeth said.

"No, a little earlier."

Mark: "Luring us underground to attack us?" ”

The king snapped his fingers: "Yes! So, Miss Elizabeth, let me ask you a question, is your father well now? ”

Elizabeth: "Not good, but in good spirits, not at all like a dying man." I said hello to him before I came over in the evening. ”

Wang: "What is the security force around him?" ”

Elizabeth: "My father is a great knight himself, and most of his followers are knights, if you are a spellcaster, the chief mage of my family has mastered the Seven Rings, my teacher is a six-ring warlock, and now the court archmage of the Eighth Ring is a guest with us, he should stay for about two months." ”

Wang: "Two months? Just a guest? ”

The princess tilted her head: "No, it is said that the Kosanian Archaeological Society has found some clues, so the archmage came to check our family's ancient books." ”

Wang: "A clue about what?" ”

"I don't know." The princess shrugged.

The mage's gaze slid straight and naturally.

Elizabeth hurriedly put her hand back in its original position, and glared angrily at the king.

Wang asked solemnly: "Is this a normal situation?" Marika didn't do that, huh? ”

Drow sighed, "I'm wearing leather armor. His Highness is now wearing a gown. ”

"I see." Wang nodded and added seriously, "I've learned." ”

Mishasara, the cat man: "Your Highness, if I were to eat him to death right now." ”

Elizabeth was shocked: "Eat, eat to death? ”

"It's just that I slept with him!" The cat man was so excited that his tail was shaking desperately, like a dog, "Hurry, I won't lose!" ”

Wang: "I think so, I'm pretty sure it will greatly enhance my mastery of the Confusion Control spells. ”

The room was quiet again.

The mage looked confused under everyone's gaze: "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Elizabeth: "No. But I warn you, don't be too much of a problem with me in the future! ”

Wang: "Okay. ”

The mage's simple answer made Elizabeth look tangled, and she pointed to the mage's face: "You...... I...... You ......"

Marika played a round: "Keep getting down to business." You've just confirmed the garrison around Duke Langdon, and then what? ”

Wang: "I think the possibility of assassination can be ruled out, which means that the seizure of the heir will not happen so soon." And considering the current situation, for the eldest prince and the second prince, the existence of His Royal Highness can be regarded as a means to contain each other.

"Then the temptation of His Highness to go underground should not be to get rid of His Highness. Even if the attack does happen and we are all wiped out, His Highness will be safely returned to the ground by the attackers. ”

Marika nodded: "His Highness exists, but the strength is weak, and it is the best for both sides." ”

Wang: "Today, the other party also showed their intention to erase me. ”

Elizabeth: "So what?" Just don't continue the investigation? ”

Marika: "After all, it's just a trivial matter of the cat and dog going missing. I think I can try to get rid of the thieves who are active in the shield road......"

Wang: "Excuse me, Marika, are the drow elves common in the city?" ”

Marika frowned: "There was another one, but I killed her to complete my revenge." There should be no more drow. ”

The king snapped his fingers: "Great, then I think we can reverse it, lure the snake out of the hole, and ambush the enemy who is not good for His Highness." ”

Mark: "Wait a minute! That sounds unreliable! ”

King: "Have you forgotten that we have Drow?" Underground we have a greater advantage than the enemy - I mean, knowing that we will be attacked. ”

The drow raised her head proudly, and it seemed that the king's words made her quite happy. The drow elves live underground, they have a strong vision of darkness, the sewers are like daylight for them, and they are extremely familiar with the conditions underground, and they are good at fighting any enemy underground.

Marika: "Makes sense...... In the dark and underground, I'm the top hunter. ”

Wang: "That's right, everyone else is focused on defense, and we can even do a whole bunch of defensive potions, and although I can't cast protective spells, we can use scrolls." Wait for Marika to destroy all the enemies - no, not all of them, and stay alive for interrogation. ”

Mark high-fived hard: "This sounds a lot more reliable, let's do it!" ”

Barbarian: "High ~ Trick!! ”

The king looked at the barbarian suspiciously: "What do you mean?" What did he say his name for? ”

Mark: "Just get used to it. It was one of the few lingua franca words he knew. ”

Barbarian: "Yes~! ”

At this time, Elizabeth raised her hand: "Wait a minute, this is just for the heir, right?" What to do about the disappearance of cats and dogs? We've got to find the culprit? ”

Wang scratched his head: "Uh...... You're right, then let's calculate the enemy who has taken the heir first, let the other side know what is powerful, and then investigate this matter. And in order to carry out these plans, we need to find a pastor first. ”

He paused, and added, "It's better to be a dwarven priest." ”
