After the king's clever plan, Bruce applauded again: "Yes, it sounds like a feasible plan." But there is a fatal flaw in this plan. That's what you already said to my father, the goal is to lure the culprit out. ”

The mage frowned, "Is Duke Langdon's study a sieve?" What kind of information will flow out? ”

"No," Bruce shook his head, "if it's just us, I mean, me, you, my sister and my brother, plus an old fox, I don't think anything will leak out." Plus the old servants of our family, probably won't leak it either. But you see, you said it in front of your sister's teacher and the archmage of the court. So ......"

Wang: "It doesn't really matter. The people behind it should not dare to bet that this is a scam. After all, if he really used magic to look back on the past, he would be exposed. ”

Bruce tapped his fingers on the table: "It does sound so, but have you ever thought about a question, now there is His Excellency the Court Archmage in Langdon City, he can perform eight-ring magic, our family's mage can perform seven-ring magic, and Elizabeth's teacher is a six-ring warlock."

"Who would dare to come to the Duke's palace at this time to make trouble? And that's not even counting the knights in the barracks that are connected to the Duke's Palace. ”

The Duke's Palace in Langdon City is actually the inner city of the city defense, which is located on the high ground on the Lynlan River, and is designed to continue to hold on to the outer city after it is breached.

In this case, it is indeed a bit difficult for the mastermind behind the scenes to make trouble in the city.

Bruce stared at the lost Wang, who was obviously thinking about something, and the quill in his hand spun and flew up.

Finally, the second prince made up his mind and asked, "If you are the one behind the scenes, what should you do?" I mean, suppose he believes that we'll use magic to get his identity and location from that dead ghost. He has to stop us. ”

Wang stared intently at the scroll on the table, his fingers gently rubbing the dimensional bag.

Bruce waited patiently.

Elizabeth looked back and forth at the two of them, her body constantly turning left and right.

Bruce: "My dear sister, you're about to become a spinning top. ”

Elizabeth was still on her feet, but she looked anxious.

Finally, the king spoke: "If I am behind it, I will kill the duke." ”

Elizabeth called out directly: "What? ”

The king repeated: "I will kill the duke." ”

Bruce: "Explain. ”

The king took out the pieces of the wizard's chess from the dimensional bag and "lined up" on the table: "First of all, this is the duke. He was now battling the Court Archmage, for that ancient ring.

"Secondly, these are the sons of the duke, three in all. They were on the lookout for each other, preparing to start fighting for the inheritance once the Duke died.

"You see, the Duke is dead, and it is impossible for the eldest prince to pay attention to the problem of the underground kobold and the goblin united legion, and he has to guard against His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

"It's the same with His Royal Highness Bruce, although you are doing your best to cooperate with us in acting, but when the Duke dies, your attention will definitely not be on this.

"And the contradiction between the Duke and the Archmage of the Court is actually the contradiction between the Duke and the current Emperor of Kosania, and I think His Majesty the Emperor will definitely take the opportunity to do something. In this way, the entire Langdon comprehension will be in a mess, and all the brains of all parties will come out. ”

Bruce turned his pen as he looked at Wang's wizarding chess on the table: "Indeed, if Dad dies at this juncture, the pressure on the man behind the scenes will be zero." He can even send out wanderers to easily destroy the corpses of spies. ”

Elizabeth: "Why didn't you include me in your analysis, I'm the heir too!" ”

Wang: "Because I think you'll continue to investigate with me what's behind it." ”

Elizabeth was stunned: "This ...... And so it is. Well, that's right, I'm the only one who believes it's an apocalypse. I'll look into this matter with you. ”

Bruce: "Your speculation is reasonable, but ...... The question is, how did the mastermind behind it get my dad to die? Especially if Dad still has a resurrection scroll. ”

Wang spread his hands: "I don't know, I just said that this is the best solution." As for whether the mastermind behind the scenes can do it, it's none of my business. No other solution he could have taken could solve this problem so perfectly.

"He's coming to disrupt our ritual and stealing Mark's body, and he's going to be targeted by us. If he destroys the reconnaissance team sent by the Great Prince, he will attract the encirclement and suppression of the Great Prince. No matter what he did, he couldn't change the fact that the entire city of Landon had begun to target him. ”

Elizabeth: "Do we need to tell our father about the king's speculation?" ”

"No!" Bruce shouted at him, "No, don't tell anyone, this inference must not get out of this study." But we can do strengthen the guards around my father...... But, if we do, the old fox will think we're going to do something to him. ”

Wang: "Is there anything wrong with telling the Duke directly?" ”

"There will be big problems. The old fox was already wary of his two sons, and the food he was eating now was cold, and he had to make sure that the person who tested the poison had not died for 24 hours before he ate it. Bruce said.

Wang: "That's too bad, it's hot now, and the food that has been left out for 24 hours is definitely going to spoil." Did he use a magic freezer to preserve the food? ”

"Yes." Bruce replied.

"That's not going to work," the mage shook his head, "just eat cold food, your stomach can't stand it, especially an old man's stomach." I guess he must be taking the herb made from a mixture of duras chrysanthemum and puran mushrooms right now. ”

Bruce glanced at his sister, "You mage still know herbology?" Yes, that's what the old fox was eating. He has a dedicated team of pharmacists who make herbal decoctions, and our brother's chamber of commerce is also buying both herbs in large quantities. ”

Elizabeth: "Will the man behind the scenes do anything about this potion?" After all, you see...... It's normal for him to be able to use positive energy to turn cats into that kind of monsters, and herbs into something else, isn't it? ”

Wang: "I don't know. I'm not going to speculate without intelligence and evidence. I suggest that we start baiting the enemy now and see how the enemy reacts before deciding what to do. ”

Bruce nodded, then he stood up, pressed his hands on the desk table, stared at the mage, and said, "King, I admire your ingenuity very, very much, and it was a test for you just now. I am very satisfied with your performance. I have a proposal, you join us, I have a much more elite squad than your current one......"

Elizabeth exclaimed, "Bruce! I'm still here! ”

"What does it matter?" Bruce turned his head to look at his sister, "Compared to accompanying the princess to play at home, our side is really ready to do business." Even if it is to deal with the crisis of the end of the world, it should come to our side! Otherwise, we state our superiority to each other, my sister. I think the king will make a wise choice! ”

Wang: "I can see that His Royal Highness Bruce is much stronger than Her Royal Highness the Princess, and theoretically I should indeed change the team." ”

Bruce was overjoyed.

"But," said Bruce's expression as soon as the word King came out, "I have become friends with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and my teacher has taught me to treat my friends with all sincerity. ”

Bruce slammed his fist on the table: "Do you understand! After I become a duke, if you like my sister, she will be yours!" ”

Wang: "I don't like her. ”

"You just like it, you like her skin......"

"I don't like it. My body fell in love with her skin. It's because my body is in love with her skin that it proves that I don't like her. ”

Bruce was stunned and didn't turn the corner at all: "What the are you talking about?" ”

Elizabeth was stunned, too, but she suddenly remembered something, and bent down with laughter—and then, because she was now wearing a very tight corset, she had to cramp with laughter, and had to hold on to the stove by the wall and gasp for air.

Wang stared at the princess's special obvious secondary sexual characteristics because of panting, and looked at it for a few seconds before reluctantly looking away, and said to the second prince with a straight face: "Look, this is the proof." I don't like Her Royal Highness. ”

Bruce frowned, "What, aren't you just trying to take her for yourself?" Do you want to take her ...... Well? ”

Bruce's mouth opened wide as he finally thought, "You...... Just because your teacher said that love is to see a girl and not want to sleep with her, but to ...... What is it? ”

Wang: "Traveling with her in a carriage and seeing thousands of rivers and mountains." ”

Bruce was speechless.

Wang continued: "Of course, I won't take the teacher's words as the only answer, my little uncle said that I want to become a little sheep, I think I don't have it." I don't want to be smoked by Her Royal Highness the princess. ”

Elizabeth had stopped laughing, but when she heard this, she laughed and tried to untie her waist, but she couldn't get rid of it, so she shouted: "King, come and help me take off my waist, I can't breathe......"

The king walked over, brushed and pulled out a sharp dagger from the dimensional bag, and cut the girdle rope.

The moment the rope broke, the girdle exploded. The bouncing button hit Bruce on the head, and he nearly fell backwards.

Elizabeth smiled and thanked him, and the whole person lay on the king, and slapped his shoulder desperately: "You guy...... Oh no, I've got to get on my stomach with something else, Melly will be furious when she sees it...... But I can't straighten my back...... You tell me to lie down a little longer. ”

Wang: "No problem. ”

He looked at Bruce, who was touching his handkerchief and pressing his swollen head, "Where did you just say?" Oh yes, the criteria for judging falling in love with a princess. My uncle said that if you fall in love with a woman, you don't dare to look at her face, and if you touch her, it will be like an electric shock. But you see, I'm like this, and I'm still standing! ”

Elizabeth: "Hahahahahaha......"

Bruce said angrily, "You laugh now!" There will be times when you will be embarrassed in the future! ”

Elizabeth: "Indeed...... I can probably imagine what will happen in the future. But now I just want to laugh...... Hahaha...... I've really, really never seen anything like this......"

Wang: "Indeed, I am the chief disciple of the teacher after all. ”

Bruce continued to take deep breaths to calm himself down: "Okay, okay, okay." I didn't fucking expect to be rejected today with 'I'm going to treat my friends with all my heart'. ”

Wang: "I like the team very much. Dwarves are funny, drow are reliable, and barbarians are pretty reliable. Cat people are a bit inscrutable, but they are reliable shooters. I want to go on an adventure with this squad. And you, Your Royal Highness, my feelings tell me to stay away from you. ”

Bruce: "I thought you were a purely rational creature who would weigh everything against the odds. ”

"It's true that I like to judge everything with logic and reason, but I'm a prophetic mage, and my intuition can't be ignored."

Bruce: "Fucking hard nerds. Okay, let's talk about how to work together. ”
