By the time Elizabeth wrapped up her "bulletproof shape" and changed into a thinner robe, several people on the deck were concentrating on the bird on the ground.

Elizabeth: "What are you doing?" Cockfighting? ”

Wang: "After ten repeated experiments, we have determined one thing, the anomaly of positive energy is currently only in Langdon Territory, and the Vale Territory does not have this tendency, and positive energy still plays a healing role as in the past. ”

As he spoke, the druid said something to the bird, and the bird flew back to nature.

Elizabeth looked serious: "So what you do to cats and dogs is the main reason for this phenomenon?" Is the Order we are facing the kind of Order that intends to destroy the world through evil rituals? ”

Wang shook his head: "It's not clear. I will not judge a Order until I have actually captured and interrogated its minions. And we now have more pressing things to worry about. ”

The mage looked at the steep slopes on either side.

Wang: "I see, that's why this place is called the valley of the valley, and this is the valley cut by the Lynnlan River in the Matyrau Hengduan Mountains." ”

The dwarf said disdainfully, "Is this embarrassing to call it a mountain range?" It's a little taller hill! The mountains of the mountain kingdom are the real mountains, the mountains of the world! ”

Marika: "Most of the valley is mountain-hilly, with only a small plain to the west, which connects with the plain where the Southwest War took place. Precisely because it is all mountainous, the valley collar has no agricultural products, and only barely feeds the current population by relying on the valleys and terraces.

"It used to be a wealthy mining country, but as the mines grew more and more, they eventually penetrated the cavemen's underground kingdom, and then there was no more. The population of the valley will never be able to muster an army to exterminate the cavemen.

"I wanted to hire someone else to do the dirty work, but the duke's family didn't think that the source of money would be suddenly cut off, and they didn't save money. So in the end, the valley leader fell into this way. ”

Elizabeth added: "I learned in the history of Quesania that the commercial income of the valley was comparable to ours, because there were many people who bought ore from them. After the ore is gone, the merchant ships do not stop in the valley territory. Then they built the Water Gate. ”

The king let out an "oh", and then asked with great interest: "There is a troglodyte kingdom underneath here?" I never knew that cavemen were a feudal race. ”

Marika and Elizabeth looked at each other.

Elizabeth: "Uh...... The Caveman Underground Kingdom here is a metaphor for the caveman's lair, which is used to describe the size of the nest. ”

Wang: "Oh, I see. ”

The dwarf snorted, "Cavemen! These abominable and evil creatures were banished here by the Kingdom of the Mountains! It's a pity that the Kingdom of the Mountains has been shrinking its sphere of influence, and even the shield road can't be protected. Otherwise, with a letter to the past, the dwarven army would wipe out the small caveman lair. ”

Wang: "We all believe that. ”

At this time, the lookout on the mast shouted: "See the water gate!" ”

The crowd immediately rushed to the bow of the ship to look forward, and sure enough, there was a large number of masts waiting for the ship to pass through the door. Above the mast, a majestic bridge can be seen that spans the entire valley.

The king frowned: "This is more like a bridge than a door." ”

Elizabeth: "Yes, the main body of Watergate is a bridge. By the way, this bridge has a special design, which can easily remove the feldspar in the middle, and then it becomes the first line of defense in the Duke's capital Lakeside City. ”

Xiaobai muttered: "Why is it called Lakeside City?" That city should be by the river, shouldn't it? ”

Elizabeth laughed, "Because there's a lake." ”

Wang took out the letter from Bruce: "Alright, now we will carry out the task assigned by the duke." First of all, we need to get in touch with the acting officer sent by the Duke to manage the Vale. The duke's letter said that his name was Sadiq Harvey. ”

Dwarf: "Sadiq Harvey." (Calm)"

Wang: "Come on, you played it once yesterday. OK. And this is not an enemy, it is a friendly army that we want to save. In addition, the Duke wrote in the letter that the Duke of Riverdale had no son, but he had a second brother named Stoke who was still alive, and this may be the mastermind of the incident. ”

At this time, the lookout at the top of the mast shouted again: "There is a group of cavalry with the banner of the Duke of the River Valley, approaching along the riverbank. ”

Wang: "Well, if there is no accident, it will come at us. Prepare to dock and we'll meet them. Elizabeth, get ready for a scorching ray. ”

After saying that, he shouted to the captain at the helm: "Prepare to land!" ”

While slapping the rudder, the captain gave the sailors an order: "Prepare to dock, lower half sail!" ”

As the boat approached the shore, Elizabeth asked worriedly, "Can you just go over like this?" Will it run aground? ”

The captain smiled and replied, "Don't worry, do you see the row of stakes in front of you?" There are water depth markings on the stakes, and you can tell the water depth of the stake location by looking at the markings. These stakes are also temporary anchors for the boat on the riverbank, and after tying the cable, shouting to the shore, a ferry boat will come and pick up the person. ”

Wang: "I guess this dinghy costs money." ”

"You guessed it right." The captain looked helpless, "But because the customs clearance time is as long as a day or two, there are often sailors who get off the ship to have some fun." In addition, the captain and the cargo owner have to pay the money to go ashore to pass the customs, and they must first pay the money for the hired dinghy to go ashore. ”

The king frowned and looked at the row of wooden stakes: "This wooden stake is used to prevent the ship from landing on its own." ”

Captain: "You're right. There is a consensus among the people who run the boat, that is, the people of the river valley collar deliberately did not build the wharf here at the water gate, which is the idea. Their ferryboats can be parked directly on the shore beach, and can be towed onto the beach when not in use. ”

Elizabeth commented disdainfully: "This is too picky, so much money can be made." ”

As they spoke, the sailors bolted their ships to their stakes, and just as the cavalry marched in front of them with the banner of the valley.

The captain of the cavalry with the feathers on his helmet shouted, "Miss Envoy Landon, Lord Harvey has asked us to pick you up and take you to Lakeside City." ”

Elizabeth turned her head to look at the teacher.

The king lowered his voice and said, "If it is Sadiq Harvey, the acting official sent by your brother, to send these knights, they should not let us go to the Duke's Residence Lakeside City, but should let us go all the way to the green light, after all, we have a crisis of extinction to solve."

"No, it's not the knight sent by the deputy."

Flint clenched his grip on the hammer: "Then do it?" Wipe out the knights and leave them alive to ask about the situation? ”

Wang: "No, don't worry. Elizabeth, try to see if you can get the words out. ”

Elizabeth nodded, stepped forward to stand on the edge of the ship, and asked the knight next to the side of the ship: "I have the heavy responsibility of solving the crisis of the destruction of the world, and I don't have time to waste here, please Mr. Acting Officer immediately clear the relationship and let us pass." ”

The knight replied: "Mr. Acting Officer wants you to come over because cats and dogs have begun to disappear in the riverside city, please go to the discussion quickly!" ”

Elizabeth thought about it for a moment, felt that this was not something she could handle, and turned her head to look at the teacher.

Wang was speechless and asked Xiaobai: "Can you call the animals now and ask them if there are any cats and dogs missing in the lakeside city?" ”

Xiaobai: "I don't know, because I don't know how far that city is, I'll try it." ”

After saying that, Xiaobai whistled, and immediately a sparrow flew from the town next to the water gate and landed on her finger.

Xiaobai: "Twitter, Twitter." ”

The sparrow immediately responded cheerfully, as if it were a nightingale, singing at the beginning of the night.

Flint muttered, "Why do you ask Sparrow?" Is that accurate? ”

Wang: "Maybe it's because cats like to kill sparrows, and they just kill them for fun, and they don't eat them at all." So ask the sparrows must be very clear whether the cats have decreased, after all, natural predators. ”

At this time, Xiao Bai listened to the sparrow's words, waved his hand and let it go, and turned his head to look at the mage: "The sparrow said that the nearby big city cats have not decreased, so you still have to be careful." But I don't know if this big city is a lakeside city to ask. Sparrows are illiterate after all. ”

Wang: "It should be, the river valley is very underdeveloped, and now the lakeside city can be called a big city after decades of withering mining." ”

With that, he glanced at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth immediately shouted to the cavalry: "We are now quite sure that the cats have not decreased!" What does the acting official mean? ”

Several knights looked at each other, clearly beyond their expectations.

While the knights were at a loss, the king asked the captain, "Is there no way to break through the water gate directly?" If we want to storm the level, where do we attack? ”

The captain pointed to the tower to the left of the stone bridge that spanned the river valley: "The machinery that operates the water gate is there, but this tower is like a small fortress, and it is difficult to breach. Also, what about the duke's orders? ”

The king shrugged his shoulders: "It looks like the Duke is going to think of another way to solve the problem of the River Valley Domain." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the knights also had a result, and the leader of the knight squad shouted loudly: "Mr. Harvey has also found other suspicious signs, please go to Lakeside City quickly to discuss!" ”

Then the king stepped forward.
