030 The Mage's Clever Plan
Just as the three young men and a demon pet moved towards the second prince's study, the mage of the Duke's family opened the door and came out.
He had come to fetch something for the duke, but that didn't stop a maid from quietly coming up to him and whispering a few words.
The archmage frowned, "Are you sure?" Not bluffing? β
"I'm sure he doesn't seem to be good at lying." The maid whispered.
The archmage muttered, "So you took that bag, or hurt the owner of the bag, and in 30 seconds a whole demon army and an angry legendary mage crossed over?" β
"It should be."
"Lancelot is on top, thankfully you heard me. Don't give out the news and see which idiot will get into this trouble. β
"The maids have heard it, and I think soon this will be the news of the whole city."
"Well, then I'm going to be careful not to be blamed by others. Poor apprentice, he probably thinks that leaking this information will protect his own safety, he underestimates the treachery and audacity of humans. β

The king did not know this, he had just entered Prince Bruce's study, and then pointed to the cat on the desk and said, "Oh, isn't there a druid." We just need a druid to identify the strange corpses we found underground. β
The cat yawned, then leaped and changed into a human form as it flew off the table: "How do you know I'm a druid?" β
"He's a mage of the School of Prophecy." The princess answered in the king's place.
Wang: "No, it has nothing to do with my school, but through logic, now that summer is approaching, it is the season when long-haired cats start to shed their hair, but your brother has no cat hair on him, and there is no cat hair in the room." β
The druids applaudedβor at least seemed convincedβapplauded.
Prince Bruce sat down behind his desk, picked up the quill on the table, and asked as he played with it in his hand, "So, what is it that needs to find a place where no one is eavesdropping?" My men are not the same as my sister's men, they are very capable. β
Druid: "I'm out there watching. β
After saying that, the druid turned into a bat and flew away from the window.
Elizabeth asked the second brother in a provocative tone, "You just let him go?" Aren't you afraid that I'll send you away with a scorching ray? β
Bruce laughed: "If you change to big brother, I definitely won't let Cassander leave." But you won't, my dear sister, you're just a fun-loving little girl. So let's talk about what your pet just did, mage. β
The king nodded: "I was about to say." I let my pet stay on the gargoyle sculpture in the eaves outside your father's window. Crows have much sharper hearing than humans, and some anti-eavesdropping methods against people are useless against crows. β
He turned to his pet and asked, "What did you hear?" β
"Nelenes' Ring! Looking for Nelenis's Ring! The crow croaked again.
Wang: "Sure enough, it's the ring of the guy in the First Age who tried to activate the giant golem......"
"Wait a minute, is that what happened?" Bruce looked at the mage with a smirk, "That's it?" β
"Looks like the prince knows about it."
"Of course I do." Bruce looked at the mage, "The Archaeological Society has found documents that record that the ring was sold by the caravans of Shield Road to Landon, which was still a natural merchant settlement at the time, and then lost its whereabouts. β
The words fell, and the king's demon pet spoke again: "Cemetery! Cemetery! β
Bruce frowned: "They say the ring is in the cemetery?" That's something I don't know. β
The demon pet continued to shout: "Belong! β
Bruce was stunned: "I guess my father insists that the ring is our property." And the clues found by the archaeological association, the archmage of the court came in person, and the empire probably thought that this was a treasure of the empire. More specifically, the property of the Steyr family, who now hold the crown. β
The princess looked back and forth at King and Bruce, and interjected, "So the ring has been found?" β
"I don't think so, at present, it has only been determined that it may be the burial goods of one of our ancestors, and the old fox is not sure that the ring belongs to us, so he will not easily agree to the archmage entering the family cemetery. This information is very valuable, mage. The second prince glanced at his sister and said.
Wang: "What does that ring do?" β
Bruce: "The Archaeological Society thinks the ring can drive the remains of the Golem." β
Wang: "You mean, that huge thing standing on the territory of the Riverlands?" If you move it, you won't be able to destroy the entire river countries, but that thing should have been completely damaged. β
The second prince shrugged his shoulders: "After all, it is a legendary item, even if he has no use, he can only be placed in the audience hall at the main entrance of the duke's castle for decoration, and the old fox will want to take it for himself." β
Wang: "It can also be claimed that this ancient object is a symbol of the legitimacy of the power of the Langdon family, effectively increasing the authority of the family. β
Bruce looked at the mage, "You're right. This is also what your teacher taught you? β
"The books taught me."
Bruce turned to his sister and said, "A nerd." I envy you, sister. All of my men are very shrewd, and I have to be on the lookout for them stabbing me in the back at any time. β
Wang: "Actually, I was stabbed today. So let's discuss the plan to use the corpse of Mark, the Spy, to fish out who is behind it. β
The second prince shook his head: "You want to release the news, saying that we are going to use the old man to press the resurrection scroll at the bottom of the box, right?" This ploy is not actually operable, and I called you out just to talk to you. β
"Why is there no operability?" Wang asked persistently.
"For the whole city knows that the old thing prepared the scroll to resurrect himself in the event of his own misfortune. The scroll has always been in the hands of his most loyal old butler. Bruce said.
Elizabeth: "Uncle Merlin, Lady Merry's husband. β
Wang: "I see, Merlin, Melly, men and women with the same surname have different voices, they are a couple of Solace. It is worthy of Kosania, the central thoroughfare of the continent, where there are both the Catalans of the desert and the Solaces from the land of ice and snow. β
Bruce: "If it weren't for the Thoroughfare, the Kingdom of the Mountains wouldn't have gone to great lengths to build a shield road hundreds of years ago. β
The Shield Road, a road built by the Kingdom of the Mountains through the Mountains of the World, is composed of countless underground tunnels and stone roads that intersect between the mountains, and many fortresses were built on the Shield Road when the Kingdom of the Mountains was at its strongest, collectively known as the Shield Fortresses.
However, now that most of the fortresses have been abandoned, crossing the shield road has become a high-risk, high-reward affair, and heavily armed caravans still travel the ancient road.
Wang: "Can we convince this Solace man named Merlin to put on a play for us?" After all, the resurrection scroll has no way to resurrect people who died naturally, and I heard that the Duke is not in good health right now. β
"Yes." Bruce said, "But don't put this in front of the old fox. As for asking Merlin to act, to be honest, I really don't think anyone will believe it. β
Wang: "Wait a minute, I have an idea. β
Elizabeth: "You always have an idea. β
Wang took out his dimensional bag, and then took out a super invincible good morning scroll from it.
The colorful aura on the scroll made Bruce Langdon lean back in his chair: "Lancelot is on top!" What kind of scroll is this? β
Wang: "Give my teacher a scroll of good morning." β
"What?" Bruce Landon narrowed his eyes, as if suspecting that he had misheard.
Wang: "Give my teacher a scroll of good morning." After tearing it up, I can ignore the isolation of the plane and establish a sound and picture connection with my teacher. β
Bruce asked the same question as everyone else: "Can it only point to your teacher?" Can't talk to anyone else? β
"No, you can't. As you can see, it's a legendary spell, and the effect of the spell is pretty. Most people wouldn't think that this scroll is such a. β
Bruce suddenly slapped his thigh: "I understand!" I know what you're going to do! You're going to lie that this scroll can resurrect that spy named Mark! β
"No, no," the king shook his head, "prince, you are not a spellcaster, and you don't know magic. It's just that if you resurrect a person, you can't use such an awesome spell. And there's no answer to why we didn't tear the scroll right away. That's how we should. β
The mage places the scroll on the table.
"We should claim that this scroll will recreate in a rapid way the important moments that Mark experienced in the six months leading up to his death.
"But because it's all going to be repeated, we have to be prepared, we have to organize enough observers, prepare food and water for the observers, and a place to sleep in shifts. Of course, there is also enough shorthand pen and paper. β
Bruce laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful! β
Wang: "The best part is that there really is such a legendary magic of the Nine Rings, and it really needs to organize as many observers as possible to record the details of the observations. And the scroll I took out just now, no matter what kind of identification magic, will come to the conclusion that it contains a nine-ring legendary spell.
"We just need to prepare this step by step and keep a close eye on Mark's body, and it all seems to be true."
Bruce: "And the fact that you are a disciple of the legendary archmage will spread quickly, adding a bit of truth to our plans!" β
"More than that!" Wang continued, "The eldest prince is now organizing a reconnaissance of the underground, which also shows that the Duke has taken this matter seriously. The mastermind behind the scenes will definitely not be able to sit still. β
