033 The Fall of the Duke

That night, Elizabeth's entire squad took up their stay in the rooms of the Duke's Palace.

After all, she had just been attacked, and the trip to find the cat had become a life-and-death fight, and the princess definitely didn't want to leave the Duke's Palace tonight.

As for the rest of the team, they were all heroes who saved the princess, and the Duke would be ready to reward him for his deeds early tomorrow morning.

In the common living room of the guest room, Flint is excitedly showing off the wine he has found from the kitchen that comes with the guest room: "Look at it! I don't know what sherry is, but as long as it's wine, no dwarf will refuse! ”

Mishasara teased, "You obviously dislike the honey beer from the Three Boars Tavern." ”

"That's different! I don't admit it's wine! The dwarf said as he pulled the cork from the sherry, leaned in front of his nose and sniffed, "Oh, this smells, it's not that kind of sissy." Come and try it! ”

Saying that, the priest of Kailin poured the wine into the oak cup, picked it up and took a sip, and then his face twisted into a ball: "How is it sweet?" ”

The cat man laughed and continued to tease: "You don't understand, this is human wine, you can't come up and drink it, you have to appreciate its color first, then smell it, and then taste it in small sips." If you dry it like this, you won't be able to drink it. ”

Flint frowned, "What the hell! Forget it, I'll ask Your Highness to get me some really strong Shire spirits later. ”

He was putting the cork back into the bottle when Elizabeth opened the door and came in: "Good evening, everyone. ”

Mishasara laughed, "I thought you were going to the ball, I heard the music in the ballroom." ”

Elizabeth sighed, "Where do I have the heart to go to the ball in this situation?" I had just finished greeting my dad when I saw my eldest brother reporting to him on the underground investigation. The team's rangers believe that there is a large colony of at least 500 goblins underground. The number of kobolds cannot be counted. ”

The mage, who had been looking through the books in the guest room, raised his head: "Five hundred, the knights and city defense forces guarding the city in Langdon City are not enough to deal with these guys, and it is not enough to count the city guards. Goblins and kobolds are adept at navigating the dark underground. ”

Elizabeth: "Yes. So my brother is going to gather poison and smoke these evil creatures with the poisonous smoke from burning poison. ”

"Wait a minute!" Mishasara raised her hand, "What about the wanderers on the basement level?" ”

Elizabeth: "Wanderers? We didn't meet each other when we went down, did we? ”

Mishasara: "Of course we can't, we have a tinkering tin can that walks, and it's obvious that it's staffed with spellcasters, and pretty ladies like you, all of whom run away before they can get into the dark vision range of the dwarves." ”

"But Marika didn't tell us about wanderers?" Elizabeth looked at Marika, who was hiding next to her and blending away from the darkness of the candlestick.

Drow replied, "I found a lot of wanderers, but they weren't threatening, so I didn't take the time to report them. ”

Elizabeth immediately turned around: "I'll go tell my brother!" ”

Mary Kara stopped her: "If you can destroy the kobolds and goblins underground, it is acceptable to die a little wanderer." ”

Elizabeth: "No, we should at least notify the wanderers first and let them evacuate. ”

Wang: "Then the enemy will also take refuge." ”

Elizabeth looked at the king, and then at Marika.

Wang continued: "However, I think the idea of using poisonous smoke is not good, it is too inefficient. And there is no guarantee that all the goblins and kobolds will be killed. ”

Elizabeth rekindled hope: "Then what can be done? ”

"Gather enough troops for Rangers and Wanderers to track down the enemy and kill them all."

Elizabeth: "It's just that there aren't so many troops to mobilize, so we have to use poisonous smoke." ”

Marika: "Your Highness, sometimes it's the lesser of two evils. ”

Elizabeth looked a little depressed: "That's what I was taught to do. But...... O give me an idea, can you make these wanderers immortal and achieve our goal? ”

Wang frowned: "This difficulty is a bit high. ”

The dwarf said, "He is a mage, not a magician, and there is no way to change people out of thin air." But as Kaylin's pastor, I also hope that these homeless people will not be sacrificed. Kailin is a good god after all. But He doesn't force it. ”

Wang: "It's not completely impossible. ”

The dwarf was shocked: "Is there a way to do this?" ”

Wang continued: "I will choose the time to delay your brother's action and see if the lure on our side is effective. The mastermind behind the scenes must have commanded the goblins and kobolds in some way, and if you catch him and figure out how he commanded them, you can trick the goblins and kobolds into traps and kill them all. ”

Elizabeth's expression immediately brightened: "You still have a way." Then I'm going to tell my brother ......."

As soon as the words fell, Wang suddenly raised his hand and made a "quiet" gesture.

Seeing this, the dwarf immediately blew out the candlesticks on the table in one fell swoop.

Races with dark vision in the dark will have an advantage, and there is no reason not to take advantage of this when there are dwarves and drow elves in the squad.

But the king opened the window and let a raven in.

As soon as the crow came in, he shouted, "Something's wrong, there's an accident!" The Duke fainted! ”

Elizabeth jerked around, only to know what she had knocked down in the dark.

Wang: "Don't get excited, maybe it's just an ordinary body that is sick, and isn't the Duke planning his next move with the eldest prince?" There should be a great prince to look after it. Anyway, let's go to the Duke's study to see what is going on. ”

**

The Duke's study has been converted into a small altar at an astonishing rate.

A large number of Lancelot's priests crowded into the room, their gilded white robes almost reaching the king's eyes.

The Duke had already been placed on the table, probably worried that he would not be able to move safely to a place with a bed in his current condition, so he had to deal with it temporarily. I don't know which church Lancelot's emblem was placed above the old man's head, acting as a light source.

Of course, in addition to the emblem, dozens of duplex candlesticks were added to the entire room to dispel the shadows in every corner of the room.

Elizabeth rushed directly to her father and grabbed the old man's hand: "Dad! What's wrong with you, Dad? ”

The king's attention was not on the princess, but at the second prince, who was also in the room.

Bruce also looked at Wang solemnly, gesturing with his hand to make him pay attention to his surroundings.

The king began to look around, and at this moment, the eldest prince spoke: "Mage, you are from that one's magic tower, you should be well-informed, right?" Take a look at this bottle. It contained my father's gastrointestinal medicine. ”

Because the duke was afraid of being assassinated, he had to let the drug tester eat the food 24 hours in advance before eating it, and in order to keep the food fresh before the test results came out, the dishes would be refrigerated in the magic ice cellar.

Because he always eats cold dishes, the duke has a very bad stomach and has to take medicine to treat the stomach.

The king took the bottle and asked, "Your Royal Highness, ...... Prince?"

"My name is Wayne Langdon, just call me by name."

At this time, the priest wearing a gorgeous robe asked, "Your Highness, just now you said that this is ...... The apprentice of the one? ”

"Yes."

The priests looked at the king with surprised eyes, while he focused on studying the bottle in his hand, and continued the question just now while studying: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Highness Wayne, are you responsible for preparing this stomach medicine?" ”

"No, I'm only in charge of collecting materials, and my father's apothecary is in charge of refining. Now all of those pharmacists have been arrested by me and are being interrogated. ”

King: "By your gardener?" ”

Wayne: "By our florist." ”

The mage nodded, leaned the bottle close to his nose and sniffed, "I need to get some props." ”

His Royal Highness the Prince made a gesture of please.

Then the mage handed the bottle to the cat man next to him and took out the dimensional bag himself.

All of the people present who saw this dimensional bag for the first time took a step back, their expressions the same as those of the spellcasters this afternoon.

The king took out a staff from it and shouted into the bottle, "Detect poison!" ”

The staff immediately burst into light.
