The team walked quietly underground for a while, and Her Royal Highness couldn't help but speak: "Have we been walking so quietly?" ”

Wang: "Do you still want to sing and dance?" Why don't you let the priest do a tap dance, he's a disciple of Kaylin, and Kaylin will be happy. ”

"Don't do that," said the cat-man in the back, "it sounds like an entire Dwarven Front marching underground." ”

The human swordsman let out a hearty laugh.

Ahead came the dwarven curse.

The dwarf advanced by his dark vision, and did not raise a torch, and for a time the king could not see where he was.

These underground races don't have an advantage in the darkness of the underground.

The princess looked at the darkness outside the range of the Light Technique, and asked nervously, "Wang, when do you think the enemy will attack?" ”

"I don't think the enemy will attack." Wang said affirmatively.

The princess looked surprised: "Why? ”

"Because your head maid has publicly supported your operation, and has given you a bracer for defense. I don't think there's anyone in Random City now who doesn't know where the princess is going. And there must be a lot of eyes on us. ”

"That's why no one came?" The princess was shocked.

"That's not all. First of all, you should know that our squad has a great advantage in the underground. Dwarves, drow elves, if the attackers were humans, these two would be enough for them to drink a jug. So they had to ambush us.

"We all know that they are going to do it, how can they ambush it?"

The princess nodded again and again: "I understand, I said in military class that the enemy is not prepared for the attack, and it will be taken by surprise." ”

"The second point. After we were attacked, who would benefit from the attack, regardless of whether you went back or not? ”

Faced with the king's question, the princess frowned: "Hmm...... Doesn't seem to be beneficial? Or is it as if everyone who has the right to inherit will benefit? ”

"That's the problem."

Wang subconsciously switched to the tone of the lecture again, and continued: "It seems that everyone has benefited, after all, there is one less competitor, but in fact, no one has benefited at all, because you are the lowest succession among all the competitors, and it will not be your turn if the first two do not die."

"Your strength is also the worst, you have just established your own nest, and the team that obeys your orders has just taken shape.

"There's even a benefit to keeping you, which can be used to marry other Electors.

"You're a beautiful sorceress, and you're very attractive to the other Electors who are desperate to get hold of a trusted spellcaster.

"To put it bluntly, you are still an insignificant but beautiful vase, a tool for marriage."

Elizabeth pouted, "It's the truth, but ...... Can you take care of my mood a little bit? ”

"When my teacher taught me political science, he emphasized that a political master should dare to face the cruel reality."

Elizabeth was speechless: "Well, he'...... That's right. ”

Wang directly pulled back to the original topic: "So you see, the benefits of the attack itself are very low, and the cost is very high if it is not a sneak attack."

"In addition, you have been attacked under the watchful eyes of the people, and at worst, the authority of the Landon Lords has been challenged.

"As the orthodox first in line to the throne, Prince Langdon will definitely go all out to investigate and dig out the attackers.

"With the eldest brother as an example, it is impossible for the second brother to be without action. The end result was that everyone was digging into the ground to find the attackers.

"Even the slightest piece of evidence can be regarded as ironclad evidence and then convicted. Under such circumstances, isn't it a matter of course that the attacker who was originally going to attack decided not to do it? ”

Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully, thinking.

Suddenly she said, "It's funny, you don't look like you're good at communicating, but you can still talk like that!" ”

"Because there is a basic rule of conspiracy: profit. Everyone acts rationally driven by interests," Wang shrugged, "This makes conspiracy very similar to mathematics, given the conditions, you can deduce similar results, as long as it is like mathematics, I am very good at it." ”

Elizabeth frowned: "Does what you just said have anything to do with mathematics?" ”

Wang: "I say 'like', the basis of mathematics is logic. Conspiracy is also ......"

Elizabeth shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I can't accept it." Two math classes a week is already very uncomfortable for me, and I'm going crazy if Domination becomes math...... So, we won't be attacked? ”

Wang: "That's what I think. After all, as I said at the beginning, we have Dwarves and Drows in our ranks, and the advantage of underground combat is too great. ”

As they spoke, the two of them happened to pass the mouth of a sewer covered with an iron grate, into which the sunlight fell obliquely, illuminating the mottled stone wall.

Elizabeth suddenly said, "Look, these mosses grow out of the sun!" They're green, too. ”

Wang: "Some of these lichens really don't like direct sunlight. ”

"So......" Elizabeth sighed, "So, we're really going to be on the road?" In that case, why don't I go horseback riding? ”

Wang scratched the back of his head and said, "It's not that there is no chance of being attacked. ”

"Oh?" Elizabeth turned her head excitedly, "Is there one?" ”

"First of all, there's a lot of stuff hidden underground, and there's a chance something old and evil will pop out. Bob said that the Langdon Lords never really controlled the ancient waterways underground, which you built on top of the old sewers.

"Secondly, the thieves' union has already been entrusted with dealing with the undead, remember? Yesterday Marika said that.

"Besides, the enemy may also have thugs who are good at underground operations. If this thug happens to be some kind of species that likes to attack humans indiscriminately, then it can be the perfect way to shake off the pot. ”

Elizabeth was about to burst out laughing, but the king suddenly said, "But! ”

"Don't, but!" The princess let out a mournful cry.

Wang: "But. If the attacker has control over some kind of underground creature, is it possible for him to attack a weak and helpless young woman? No, no, no, this power should be reserved for big things. ”

Elizabeth punched the king hard in the shoulder: "You have come full circle, and you have come back again!" ”

Wang smiled heartily: "When I was a child, I was very serious, so I was often teased by my brothers. That's how they like it. ”

Elizabeth: "Brothers? Tell me the story of your Mage Tower, what was it like to grow up in the Mage Tower? ”

Wang scratched his head: "I don't feel anything...... When I was very young, I would help my teacher with his experiments and be called by the talking crow. The crow is all sperm, and unlike this one, it can also talk when the teacher is not in control.

"It also speaks cool words, and the first time I practiced mirror shadowing, it said next to it, 'Oh, you're a genius, king, your mirror shadow has become a girl!' ”

Wang learned the crow's tone, which made Elizabeth giggle.
