Early the next morning.

The tavern that Bob founded had lodging rooms, but due to the peculiarity of the tavern, these rooms were not open to ordinary guests, but were used as dormitories for the princess's servants.

The mage was assigned a north-facing house, and the north wind poured into his window all night.

However, this did not affect Wang's sleep.

In the morning, the energetic mage began to prepare for the spell to be used today.

The first step in preparing a spell is to make a list of spells that you want to cast today.

Today's main activity was to explore the sewers, anticipating that battles might occur, so King increased the weight of combat spells in the list.

The second part is to open the spell book according to the determined spell list and review the elements of spells: spells, gestures, spell casting materials, and the underlying principles of spell operation. Wang used to like to omit this step, and then he was scolded by the teacher.

"Don't put too much faith in your memories!" The teacher said, "Check the spell book well!" Otherwise, you will one day lose your life by trusting your memories too much! ”

From then on, every day when the king prepared a spell, he would carefully look through the spell book.

His spells are full of spells, from the first ring to the ninth ring, and even some legendary spells, all the spells that a mage can cast, may have been recorded in this book.

If this book had been seized as a trophy by other mages, the mages would have died of surprise and death.

Of course, the king's current strength can only cast the spell of the third ring.

After confirming that his memory was completely correct, Wang began to prepare the materials needed to cast the spell today.

He opened the Spellcasting Material Bag, which was a composite bag with five internal separations. The king first poured out all the materials in the bag, and then took out the dimensional bag of equipment materials.

Then he pulled out a stack of brown paper.

He categorized the materials to be used for each spell, wrapped them in brown paper, and each one was just enough to cast a spell. Finally, he put the packets into different compartments according to the type of spell.

There are also spell-casting equipment, such as a wooden target model that is used to defeat the enemy's aircraft, and the mage puts all of these parts in place.

When ready, the mage pinned the pouch back to his belt.

To support the weight of the material, the belt is made of leather the thickness of a forearm, and when placed on the waist, it will tilt in the direction of the casting material bag.

Wang looked at himself in the dressing mirror, and suddenly thought of a question: "Her Royal Highness the princess hangs the material bag, can you use the support point of the upper body to avoid this tilt?" ”

He thought about it and decided to ask the princess about it later.

Then he put away the materials on the table that didn't fit into the material bag, and stuffed them into the dimensional bag with the magic book - yes, the king basically doesn't open the magic book when casting spells, so he doesn't hang the magic book in a place where he can access it at any time, like other mage apprentices.

When he was ready, he looked at the hourglass and realized that this time it only took him forty minutes to prepare the spell.

"Not bad." He muttered, turned to open the door and left the room.

When the mage walked into the place where the group had met yesterday, the dwarf was already sitting there holding an oak cup.

The king was surprised: "Don't you need to prepare a spell?" ”

"Meditation." The pastor corrected, "That's what I'm doing right now." ”

Wang: "Drinking spirits and meditating? ”

"I'm Kaylin's priest." The dwarf replied earnestly.

Wang: "I see. But your whole body armor ...... Yesterday you said that you made the armor yourself? ”

"Yes, when I was 113 years old, I built it with all the blacksmith skills I mastered, and it used to be my glory." The dwarf looked at the oak cup and said.

Wang: "It sounds like a vicissitudes of life, if I had a better relationship with you, would you tell me?" ”

The dwarf laughed, "It's going to take a long time." ”

"I know," Wang said, sitting across the table, "the friendship between dwarves and humans is generally the foundation laid from the generation of human grandfathers. That's what my teacher told me. ”

"Your teacher is right. I have half-elven friends, elven friends, and of course dwarven friends, but I don't have any human friends. ”

Wang: "Then why did you appear in the human city?" ”

"I followed Kailin's guidance and embarked on a journey to find fine wine. After your little play is over, I will take my share of the property and continue to search. ”

"Looking for good wine?" The mage asked.

"Not exactly wine. You're not a magic caster, you don't understand. Your deity has given you a revelation that you can't see, and then the rest of your life is spent entirely in the sense of finding the revelation. ”

Wang: "I'm very good at Bliss, maybe I can understand it." ”

The dwarf stared at the king and smiled, "Do you not understand the rhetorical devices of metaphor at all?" ”

Wang: "Uh...... I do not know. After all, I haven't encountered many metaphors, and the people in the mage tower like to talk straight. ”

The beard on the dwarf's mouth squirmed.

Wang: "Shouldn't I disturb you meditating?" ”

"No, it's over just now. I've prepared enough protective spells that should ensure that your plan goes smoothly. ”

The mage's plan was the one mentioned yesterday, with the rest of the team defending with all their might and letting the Drow Wanderers take out all the enemies.

Wang: "You can trust your fate to an elf." ”

"Drow and elves are not the same. This is one of them. Second, I'm different from other dwarves. The other dwarves prefer to stay in their own community, hostile to everything outside, and it is only a habit for them to respect the elves, simply because in the Second Age, the mountain kingdoms used to fight alongside the elves.

"That was hundreds of years ago. Dwarves live long and are stubborn, so the traditions that were formed hundreds of years ago are to us the traditions of yesterday. Not to mention that the grandson of the Supreme King of the Mountain Kingdom is still alive, and the king of the Forest Kingdom, who fought with his ancestors, is now the co-lord of the elves.

"Sometimes I envy you humans, look at this Landon Lord, the duke who established this dukedom is just a figure from two hundred years ago, but you can only remember his great deeds through songs."

Wang: "If humans want to live a long life, they must either become lichs or be like my teacher. ”

Dwarf: "Archmages seem to live for many years, and when I was a child, there was a gray-robed wizard who often visited my city-state and brought news from afar to the city-state council. At that time, he had a big beard.

"Later, when I had as much beard as his, he still visited my city-state often, and he didn't look the same as before."

Wang: "Gray robe? It's a gray cloak, right? Does he have such a sign on the knot of his cloak? ”

As he spoke, Wang dipped some tea and drew a simple figure on the table.

"Yes, there's such a sign."

Wang: "Then he is a wizard of the Arcane Federation, which is keen to adjust the situation in the whole world, in addition to allowing mages to share the latest discoveries. He was supposed to be the Federation's envoy to the dwarven city-states. ”

At this time, the rest of the team also appeared yawning.

"Oh, the dwarves drink early in the morning!" The cat man jumped up to the dwarf, "This is also your God's will?" ”

"Of course. Stay away from me, cat people, you guys are so lively! The dwarf made a chasitic gesture with one hand, and held his glass with the other.

Mark: "I've oiled my sword, and today will never be like yesterday." ”

"High!" The brute roared.

At this time, Drow also appeared, so that the entire team was left with Her Royal Highness the princess, who had not yet escaped.

Wang: "I'm not familiar with the habits of the nobles, when will she get into the carriage and teleport out?" ”

"If there are no accidents, it will be about nine o'clock in the morning." Drow replied.

Wang: "Won't it be long, let's have a tense and exciting ......"

The closet door opened, and Elizabeth Langdon stepped out of the portal.

"Everyone! I asked Marilyn, it was my second brother who told her that goblins eat cats! ”

Wang nodded: "That's right." So today we are underground, and we can ruthlessly clean up your second brother's ambush. But...... How did you come so fast? ”

"Because I found a new excuse, I came out early!"

Wang: "What's the excuse?" ”

"I'm going to the countryside for horseback riding, so I have to start early, otherwise it'll be almost noon when I get to the racecourse. Rest assured, both Marilyn and Lady Melly will cover me. ”

Wang: "Who is Lady Merry?" ”

"The nurse who has always taken care of me is now the head maid of the Duke's Palace." Elizabeth laughed, "It's still the riding dress she gave me." ”
