Wang turned to face Bruce: "About this ......"

Elizabeth stepped forward and said, "Brother! The king is a disciple of that master, and isn't it in the best interests of the Langdon family to let me go on an adventure with him? ”

Bruce Langdon sat back in his chair, looked at his sister with a smile, picked up the wine glass on the table, shook it, and said, "You have to marry him to be in the family's interest." Why don't you let the archmage use the scroll given to him by the teacher and ask his teacher if he accepts the proposal? ”

Wang: "I definitely don't accept it, I don't need to ask. My teacher hated my parents—the elders decided to marry, and he believed that all love should happen naturally and be sacrosanct. ”

When Bruce got the answer, he looked at Elizabeth: "Then my dear sister, ask the king if he is willing to have a sacred and inaccessible love affair with you?" ”

Wang: "Of course I would like to, but my body has objectively denied that possibility. ”

Bruce laughed.

Elizabeth: "This...... If the journey is long, it's not completely impossible! ”

Wang: "No, according to Xiaobai, you seem to have a ...... for me."

Elizabeth: "I didn't! So it's possible! ”

"No way, I have."

"You! Do you still want to take me on a trip? ”

"Yes, so listen to me......"

"Shut up! I'm convincing my brother that it's critical! Elizabeth took a few steps forward, walked directly into the inner circle of the round table, walked straight to Bruce, and slapped the table with both hands, "Brother! Do you really need me as a marriage tool? ”

Bruce replied, "Really." We're not in a stable situation right now, you didn't listen to the trial so you don't know, the crown won't fall into our hands right away, in fact those guys seem to be planning to undo all of Daddy's efforts, you know?

"Our old fox is dead, and although I have now stabilized the situation with decisive actions and frightened the other old foxes, those fellows will definitely want to wrestle with us when they return to their lair. The crown of the empire, who does not covet it? ”

Elizabeth asked, "And who are you going to marry me to?" ”

"Whoever bids high will marry whomever he wants. You are the first beautiful woman in Kosania, and you are famous, look at your silver hair, do you know that there are people out there who sell forged your hair, so that you can sell it for a hundred gold coins. You're still a warlock, that's great. Bruce grabbed Elizabeth's silver hair with his hand and rubbed it as if assessing the quality of the twine.

Wang: "What's ......?"

Elizabeth jerked back: "I'm trying!" You idiot, can you stop making a mess! ”

At this time, Marika stepped forward: "Lord Duke, do you think that an assassin and spy expert that you can completely trust can be worth Elizabeth's value?" ”

Bruce sneered, "Drow, are you overestimating your value?" We're talking about the second in line to the throne of Langdon, the most beautiful man in Kosania, and a warlock. ”

Elizabeth anxiously grabbed Marika's hand: "No, you can't go anywhere!" We need loiters! If you had searched Irwin's lab, we might have gotten more information a long time ago! ”

Wang: "So, let me ......"

Elizabeth turned around: "Can you please stop making trouble, it's busy here!" ”

Wang frowned slightly: "You have failed to know and love like this, it is better to move reason." ”

"In this case," Bruce said to the king, "you should say, 'Shut up, I'll do it!'" ’”

Wang: "Shut up! I'll say it! ”

Elizabeth was startled by the king's sudden increase in volume and shrunk her neck. Marika also looked at Wang suspiciously.

Bruce stood up, bypassing his sister and her loyal drow elves, and took a few steps towards the mage, "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Wang spread his hands: "If I were you, not only would I not stop your sister from going on an adventure, but I would also equip her with a retinue of the highest standard." ”

Bruce drank the wine from his glass and asked with interest, "Why?" ”

Wang: "You see, all we know about the people behind the extinction crisis is an old church painted in a frame. It's basically the same as knowing nothing. Although we decided to start with the architectural style, it may not be architectural at all, but it was just built up by chance.

"Or maybe it's a combination of several architectural styles, and we have to travel at the intersection of the two styles and look for a needle in a haystack."

Bruce: "Shouldn't that make this trip?" ”

Elizabeth: "It's useless for you to tell my brother like that. I know him too well, unless I wait for my eldest brother to come back after killing the emperor, and we will persuade him together......"

Wang: "I don't think so. From my observations of him, I judge that he is a realist politician. All realist politicians can be persuaded by stakes. ”

Bruce seemed to be in a really good mood, he smiled and said, "Indeed. But I haven't heard the 'provish' part yet. ”

Wang: "You see, we are the only ones who are dealing with this crisis now, and there are so few clues, it is almost certain that the crisis will develop to the next stage." Or even the third stage. By that time, the whole world will know that the crisis exists.

"If you declare now in a loud voice that you will send your sister to solve this crisis, when the crisis is fully revealed, you, and indeed the whole of Kosania, will be the monarch of the first country to deal with the crisis."

Bruce's eyes narrowed, his fingers gently twitching the carved edge of the glass.

Wang: "When the time comes, you can also organize a conference in your capital with the participation of monarchs from all over the world to deal with this crisis, and study countermeasures!" Just because your sister was part of the original team that responded to the crisis!

In this way, the bad reputation brought by that bloody banquet will naturally disappear. Best of all, when the crisis is over, Elizabeth will come home with honor, and you can still marry her off at that time. ”

Elizabeth's face turned black with a brush, and she bit her lip desperately.

Wang didn't notice at all, and continued: "On the other hand, if you don't let Elizabeth go now, the legend will become, you weakened the Crisis Squad and refused to provide support. Bards say you're more than just a mediocre tyrant. ”

Bruce was stunned and looked Wang up and down again: "You know what? No, you shouldn't know. Actually, it doesn't matter what my sister is. I just want you to stay in Langdon and be my advisor.

"Detention of my sister just to ...... I'll just leave you behind. You have brought me all the victories, your ingenuity, something I desire so much.

"So you don't have to say that much at all. You just answer me, I detain my sister, will you still set off on a trip? ”

Wang replied firmly: "Yes." If you detain me too, I'll rack my brains to get out of jail. I'm going to set out on a trip anyway, and that's what I'm going to do when I leave the Mage Tower. ”

"Since there is a primary, there should be a secondary purpose." Bruce Landon asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Wang: "Isn't it a matter of course to make friends?" ”

Bruce Landon looked at Wang with a smile, held back twice, and finally laughed: "Hahahaha, it seems that Langdon really can't keep you." Your suggestion just now makes a lot of sense, I really should make my sister an envoy.

"But I have one more request, and I will let you go if you agree to it. Would you like to make me a friend? ”

As he spoke, Bruce held out his hand.

Wang shook it without hesitation: "Of course." The future Emperor of Kosania, this friend has to be made. ”

Bruce looked satisfied, and after the handshake, he continued, "But now we have lost a lot, and we can only find a way to get you a decent boat and enough supplies.

"Of course, I'll draw a loyal boatman from the chamber of commerce controlled by my eldest brother, and pick a few horses for you. In addition, only the identification documents, symbols, and flags of Langdon Collar can be provided. And, of course, some nice clothes. After all, my sister is the most beautiful woman in Kosania. ”

Wang bowed gently to Bruce: "Thank you very much for your generosity. ”

Then he turned to Elizabeth: "That's it." I said you could leave it to me, right? ”

Elizabeth and Marika looked at each other.

Xiaobai: "Your human beings' chaotic conversations are so complicated, I don't understand. But I guess now we can cheer? ”

Bruce: "I've got all sorts of business to attend to, and you can now have Merlin take you to the arsenal and take the contents as you please, as part of the sponsorship that Landon has given you." ”

Dwarf: "Oh, that's great, but I'm armed now. Unless you have a better guy in there than a refined warhammer. Maybe you can give Gautrek a new axe. ”

The barbarian nodded in agreement: "High!" ”

**

Leaving the round table hall, Elizabeth immediately stopped the king: "King, just ...... I'm sorry, I just think I should be better at this kind of thing. ”

Wang nodded: "If I don't make sure that the other party is a realist politician after a long period of observation, I will leave it to you to deal with." ”

Elizabeth was a little surprised: "Will you?" ”

Wang: "Absolutely. But before our poets joined the team. My teacher said that the poet is the negotiator in the team, and he will take care of everything that needs to be cheated and abducted. ”

Elizabeth: "And what did I do when the poet joined the team?" ”

Wang: "Shoot a scorching ray." ”

Flint laughed, "I want to say, princess, you are very competent for this duty, and you are quite accurate." ”

The barbarian echoed: "High! ”

At this moment, the cat man Misha Sara suddenly said: "Although everyone is excited about the upcoming trip, I shouldn't come out to spoil the scenery, but ...... I have something very important to say. ”

Saying that, the cat man stood up directly.

Everyone was still walking forward, but at this time they all stopped, turned around and looked at the cat man suspiciously.

Merlin, who was leading the way, heard the movement and stopped a little farther away after walking a few steps.

The bright summer sun shone in through the windows on the side of the corridor and shone on everyone.

Mishasara looked at Wang and asked seriously: "You just said that the crisis of the destruction of the world will definitely advance to a very serious stage, is it true?" Or fool the Duke's words? ”

Wang: "Do you think I have such a profound skill as words?" ”

Mishasara: "That is, there will be cheap healing scrolls, the undead will gather, the lichs will appear in droves, and the undead armies will roam the land?" ”

Wang: "Yes. This is a reasonable assumption based on the current situation. Unless we are lucky enough to find the Order's headquarters. But you see, the Order's current appearance is a Seven-Ring Mage, and he almost wiped us out. Even if we find the Order's headquarters, we won't be able to defeat it. ”

Mishasara sighed, "It sounds like the whole world is in trouble. So I had to inform my tribe that I had a younger brother who was the chief warrior of the tribe and that he was married to a beautiful white cat. ”

The king spread his hands: "Yes, anyway, we won't set off immediately, Langdon City is in chaos like this now, and it should take about a week to prepare the ship." ”

Mishasara smiled: "The area where my tribe is hunting, on the other side of the World Mountains, I am going to take the shield road to climb over the World Mountains. It's not a week-long way homecoming. ”

The king suddenly became lost: "Are you leaving our adventure?" We'll need you as a lookout when we're going down the river. ”

Mishasara laughed heartily, "If I hadn't been familiar with you, I would have taken your words as contempt." Rest assured, you'll have a new lookout. ”

Wang: "But ......"

He stopped, stroking his chest lightly with his hand.

"I see, is this what it feels like to be separated from your friends?"

Mishasara smiled even more happily: "A future legendary archmage treats me as a friend, and my short life is not in vain. ”

Elizabeth stepped forward and took Mishasara's hand: "Why is it so sudden?" Yesterday — no, this morning, you're still going to travel with us. ”

"I'm a cat man." Mishasara replied succinctly, stroking Eliza's silver-white hair with her hand.

Flint: "She's a cat person. When we dwarves make decisions, we need to think about it for days, during which time we smoke a stone or more of tobacco and drink a few barrels of beer. Cat people are different, they always make decisions on the fly and then put their decisions into action. ”

Mishasara: "That's it. Don't worry, when I notify the tribe and make sure they're okay, I'll turn around and catch up with you. If you didn't have a ranger back then, count me as one. ”

After speaking, the cat man looked at the king: "So what do you say, captain?" ”

The king nodded: "Well, I can't stop you from informing your relatives. So have a nice trip. ”

Mishasara, then firmly pushed away Elizabeth, who was reluctant, and said to Steward Merlin in a hearty voice, "I want a fast horse, now." ”

Butler: "Please come with me." I'll ask my deputy to take you to the arsenal. ”

Then the cat man and the housekeeper left in the sun.

The crowd stood there and watched them.

Wang suddenly said, "This is parting, I can suddenly understand the poem that my uncle often sings." My uncle taught me that I know the value of friends only after parting. I finally got it. ”

Elizabeth: "You ...... now?" Is it uncomfortable? ”

Wang: "It's not bad. It's much better than when I thought about the possibility of saying goodbye to all of you. If you set the discomfort level at that time to five, it is about one now? More samples are needed to be sure. ”

Several people looked at each other, apparently shocked by the mage's immediate approach to quantitative analysis—perhaps they didn't know the word quantitative analysis.

Xiaobai: "Then let's find a new ranger now?" ”

Wang: "No, no. Now looking for new team members, there may be spies and bastards mixed in. We should walk and see, and maybe we can meet the right one. ”

**

A week later.

A river vessel that had just been towed out of dry dock was parked at the pier.

The entire dock is lit up, and the blue and white lion and shield flags of the Langdon family are hung everywhere.

The porters at the wharf all stopped moving, and they were all watching on the sidelines. In addition to them, there were men, women, and children from all over the city, and the whole scene was even more lively than when the original emperor was hanged.

Everyone is talking about the end of the world, the cat's lost and found, and so on. On the contrary, no one cares about the changes in the healing techniques that the nobles are concerned about, after all, ordinary people rarely get treatment from priests when they are sick, and it is already a great luck to be treated by the paladins who pass by.

It should be said that most people's lives, healing spells have nothing to do with it, so naturally no one cares.

Another important point of concern is Elizabeth's upcoming journey. Some sources say that this is actually the honeymoon of the Holy Maiden and the Mage, while others say that the princess is pregnant and is expected to give birth to a child with dragon blood soon.

While everyone was in the heat of talking, the band began to play, and to the sound of the music, the Duke's family drove into the docks.

Bruce, the Duke of New Landon, who had just finished the formal ceremony of succession to the title, rode a tall white horse and walked at the front of the queue. Attentive people will notice that the buttons on his cloak are decorated with gold olive leaves, an accessory that only an emperor can have.

Langdon's lion cub makes no secret of his ambitions.

Behind the Duke was the commander of the Duke's army, Sir Wayne Langdon, and the paladin had changed into a new armor, and the holy light seemed to be on him forever.

Behind him was the hero of this great victory, the legendary mage's apprentice king, who held a radiant dragon head scepter and a snow-white giant wolf in his crotch.

The people chanted, "This is the future Archmage." ”

"I heard that he single-handedly rushed into the emperor's army and captured the emperor!"

"What a single man, that's called a single wolf."

The mage looked very expectant, his eyes fixed on the sailboat moored at the end of the long bridge at the pier.

Behind the mage, a barbarian with a war paint on his face rode on a horse about as strong as he was, with a brand new battle axe on his back.

There was also a basket tied to the back of his saddle, and in it sat a frightened-looking dwarf.

"I said I could go! You're going to put me on the back of this beast! Oh Karis Newman! Let me go down to the ground! The dwarf shouted hoarsely, almost overpowering the band's music.

Behind the strange combination of the brute and the dwarf is an ultra-luxurious carriage drawn by eight horses.

The overall color of the carriage was in the main colors of Langdon: white and blue, and the carvings of the golden lion can be seen everywhere.

Elizabeth Langdon lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and smiled at the people.

Some of the people shouted: "Look, it's the Holy Maiden!" She's still so brave and kind! ”

"Ever since I brought home the portrait of the Holy Maiden, my physical problems have been cured all at once!"

"Portrait of the Holy Maiden, 50 silver coins each!"

Behind the carriage were the barons and viscounts who had fought in the previous battles, and behind them were the neatly formed knights, but no one looked at them more.

The mighty brigade came to the specially built ceremonial platform, and everyone turned over and dismounted.

The mage took a wolf, and the giant wolf suddenly turned into a werewolf girl, she patted her buttocks, touched a piece of candy and threw it into her mouth.

The mage himself walked straight to the platform, only to be stopped.

"You're going to open the carriage door." Butler Merlin whispered.

"Oh." The king nodded, turned and went to the carriage, clicked the door open, and went away, building his pergola to see the boat he was about to take as he went.

Elizabeth was in a good position, and took the initiative to reach out for the mage to sign, and now she can only float in the air with one hand awkwardly.

Elizabeth, who was also sitting in the carriage, saw this scene and made a very gossipy voice: "Wow~"

Elizabeth was embarrassed to climb out of the carriage and quickly catch up with the mage: "You have to help me down!" ”

"Aren't you able to do it yourself?" The mage was surprised, and looked at the princess, and then immediately returned to the sailboat.

Elizabeth: "It's etiquette, haven't you read it in your books?" ”

"Oh, I remember, I should have helped you down. Forget, after all, you see, travel is just around the corner. To be honest, I'm a bit of a ghost. ”

Elizabeth: "You're pretty self-aware?" ”

"That's right."

In such a conversation, the group ascended to the high platform, and the Duke of Langdon, who was one step ahead, was already waiting here.

Steward Merlin silently walked behind him, the servant beside him holding a beautiful long sword.

The Duke raised his hand, and the band that was playing immediately fell silent.

For a moment, the entire venue was unusually quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the duke, and then they were shaken by the mage's glowing rod.

Sir Wayne snorted at the mage.

"Oh, this one." The mage hurriedly put away the stick.

Bruce cleared his throat: "Elizabeth Langdon! ”

Elizabeth stepped forward.

Bruce: "In the name of the new Duke of Langdon, I give you this sword!" Hopefully, this pathfinder will guide you in the direction and guide you through the crisis! ”

Merlin took the sword from the servant's hand and handed it to Bruce, who placed it in Elizabeth's flat hand.

Bruce: "This sword represents the lordship of the Landon Lord, and you will enjoy the treatment of an envoy in the human kingdoms!" ”

The mage muttered, "No one in our team can use this sword......"

Elizabeth solemnly hugged the sword: "I will not dishonor this sword!" ”

Then she shoved the sword to the mage, who threw it into the dimensional pouch.

Bruce said in a very different tone, "Let's go, good luck, my sister." ”

The mage grinned, "My teacher often said that when you set out on an adventure, you must say this!" ”

Home is behind us, the world is in front of you!
