040 "I Have a Plan"
After some time.
Cassander pushed open the door of Daddy Mouse's tavern, and the noise in the tavern disappeared at once.
Everyone turned to look at the door.
The king followed him into the tavern, took a step aside, and observed the entire tavern.
There were basically no people in the tavern who didn't carry weapons, not only the people who usually wandered around Swan Gate Alley, but also many people who seemed to be good citizens, but also wore weapons.
It is probably because Daddy Rat Tavern has spirits provided by Tang's distillery, and everyone wants to have some fierce food when this kind of war clouds are thick.
Wang was observing, and suddenly someone shouted: "Isn't this the disciple of that legendary mage!" Last night, he used the magic of the Nine Rings to blow down one of the towers in the inner city, killing hundreds of people! β
Wang raised his eyebrows, the rumors about him in the tavern the day before yesterday, or used the Phantom Killer to kill Tang's entire team, and today he evolved to a nine-ring magic to kill hundreds of people?
Another voice said, "Aren't they the princess's squad?" What are they doing here? Isn't there a war coming soon? β
That's when Elizabeth came in.
The whispers that had just gotten up were all gone, and everyone looked at Elizabeth in silence.
Suddenly, a drunken man shouted, "! β
The drunk was immediately held down by several people around him: "Don't die, that's the duke's daughter!" No, it's the Duke's sister! One word from her could turn us all into pendants in the square! β
Elizabeth cleared her throat and asked, "Now that the city is full of people who need people, you are drinking here!" β
Everyone was silent, and then the halfling bartender, who stood behind the barβyes, the one who had taken the dwarf's tap dance that night for the knight's encirclementβreplied, "Your Highness, here are robbers, thieves, and the worst of all, the armed guards of the caravan. They don't do the work of moving big stones up the walls. β
The big man next to the bartender, who was also a "spectator" who had seen the dwarven tap dance that night, said, "When the siege begins, we'll have a job to do." Whether it's sneaking out of the city to sneak up on the besieging army, or sweeping the underground for enemies who want to infiltrate. β
The princess wanted to say something, and Cassander said, "We're going to Don's, he should have said hello." β
"Yes, this way." The halfling slapped the mechanism on the table, and a secret door appeared next to the bar.
The moment the secret door opened, the pungent smell of the liquor rushed out. The dwarf was speechless: "Oh, this wine smells good, too." It's not as good as a Shire, but it's much better than a sissy like Bee Beer! β
The cat man nudged the dwarf: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go." β
The king followed the brigade until he entered the passage, still observing the people in the tavern.
Elizabeth asked curiously, "What are you looking for?" β
"I'll see if there are druids."
Cassander, who was at the front, turned around and said, "Am I not a druid?" β
"But you're the Duke's druid, and if we want to continue to track down the crisis, we have to have our own druid."
"Isn't the crisis coming to an end today?" Kasander asked suspiciously, "The mastermind knows who is behind it, and he should be punished before nightfall tonight." β
"Just in case." The king replied, but immediately changed his words, "But I don't see any druids here. β
Mishasara: "The druids also go to taverns, but not taverns. The smell of industry and human civilization here is too strong for the druids to like. β
The dwarf said, "Druids will only show up in the Elven Treehouse Tavern and drink those faint elven liqueurs. Oh, I'm talking about normal elves, not drow. β
Drow elves don't like to be in the sun, so they don't come with the king. Apparently she had her own way of getting into the Wanderers' Guild.
The group chatted like this, and all entered the secret door.
**
The hall of the Wanderer's Guild looks like an exchange, but instead of the pot-bellied merchants, there are ruthless people who look like heroes of the green forest.
Seeing Cassander, the lobby runner immediately pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor. Cassander led everyone to the second floor.
On the second floor is Tang's nest, and as soon as he enters the house, he sees a test tube rack on the table in the middle, with a row of purple potions on it.
Wang: "The high-grade invisibility potion is very efficient." β
"Because we found out that there are exactly five potions left in the inventory," the brown-haired man standing up on the table where the potions were placed, "you must be the mage who spread the word." β
The king looked at the man and replied, "And you, I suppose, are a wanderer." β
The man laughed: "I'm a thief." The Wanderer is a name created by those cultural people of the Shadow Thieves in order to change the negative image of our industry. But we all know that we are thieves. β
As soon as he finished speaking, a man carrying a wooden box full of equipment shouted "borrow light, borrow light" and walked past the king.
The mage grabbed him by the shoulder: "Don't steal a prophecy mage. β
The person who moved the goods looked puzzled: "What are you talking about?" I'm moving this box with both hands......"
Wang took out his dimensional bag: "You just touched this, didn't you?" I'm guessing you have a trap on it. β
"You're being framed!" Immediately after the initial shock, the movers began yelling, "I didn't touch your stuff at all, you're guilty, and this box is ......"
Elizabeth: "My wallet was touched!" β
The people who moved the goods looked at the sky helplessly.
Wang: "Gortrek! β
The brute punched the guy in the nose, pumping him into the air, and the things he was holding in his hand were scattered in front of him all day long.
Wang Yi stretched out his hand, and the simple trick "Mage's Hand" grabbed Elizabeth's purse flying in the air, stuffed it back into Elizabeth's hand, and then squatted down and began to study the box that fell to the ground:
"Sure enough, there is a mechanism, it looks like you are moving the box with two hands, but in fact, the box is fixed to your belt, and you can lift it with one hand. The other hand has only one sleeve, attached to your shoulder. β
Elizabeth looked angrily at the brown-haired man, "Is this your hospitality?" β
"Your Highness, we are a den of thieves ...... here"
Before he could finish speaking, the Drow Elf came out of nowhere and put the knife to his throat: "You'd better use your brain." In this situation, the new Duke may order you to be wiped out at any time. You don't want to be crow fodder on Gallows Square either, do you? β
"Hahaha, wonderful. But if you kill me, there will be no one to lead the way. β
Cassander went around to the front of the thief, "I don't think Don would put all his eggs in one basket, except for you who must have someone else who knows the location of that Irwin's lab." Otherwise, what if you defect? Drow, I think we'll kill him and replace him with an obedient man to lead the guild's ranks. β
Marika: "I agree. β
"Wait a minute!"
Before the brown hair could finish speaking, the secret door suddenly opened, and several people stumbled in: "Oh no! β
Then these people looked at this scene and were even more surprised.
Cassander: "What's wrong?" We are Don's mouths, at least for now. Tell us what's going on. β
Several people looked at each other, and finally looked at the brown hair together.
Brunch: "Say it." β
The man at the head reported: "The leader of the team got carried away and got too close and was discovered!" That Irvin used the Finger of Death! I'm pretty sure it's the Finger of Death, the green light! Gork died instantly. We immediately retreated! οΌ*οΌβ
Cassander: "All withdrawn?" β
"No, a few people were left to watch where Irwin could escape. But no one dared to approach him anymore! β
At this time, the four-ring mage Fernie spoke: "It's not easy to do now, death finger." That's the magic of the Seven Rings. Are you sure he unleashed it on his own and didn't tear the scroll? β
The leader nodded: "Sure." He had a spell casting action, and Gock dropped the smoke bomb when he started casting the spell, but the smoke bomb may have been damp, the gunpowder didn't explode very well, and the smoke dispersed slowly, and he was still hit by the green light. β
Fernie: "We can only cast four rings at the highest, and we will be crushed by the opposite." Gotta go back and ask the Duke's chief mage, who is also a seven-ring spellcaster! We can't do that. β
Elizabeth stopped talking, and turned to look at the king.
Wang Zheng touched his chin and assumed a thinking posture that the princess was already familiar with.
The thief, who had just been knocked to the ground, shouted, "Don't do it, don't do it!" I don't dare to argue with the Master of the Seven Rings! β
The princess snorted and gave the soles of the goods' feet a kick, which may have kicked the nerves, directly making his face distort in pain.
Wang snapped his fingers: "I have a plan." β
Elizabeth smiled: "You always have a plan. β
