035 Target Minos City
The mage was happy, and Marika, who was guarding the door, suddenly closed the door that had opened a crack, and whispered at the same time: "Hurry up and get the East XZ right, and the deer head will be restored!" Someone's coming! β
The king immediately stuffed back the necklace that Elizabeth had just pulled out, and sorted out Elizabeth's messy clothes, and after making sure that it was "back to normal", he still patted it with his hand.
It's like a child who buries a toy and pats it with his hands on the soil that has just been filled.
Elizabeth looked at the king with a blank expression.
Wang: "What's wrong with you?" β
"I don't know what to look like at this time."
"Just smile." The mage laughed first, not realizing what rude he had just done.
Elizabeth grinned too.
The mage also commented: "Why does your smile look so silly?" β
The warlock gave him a kick, only a light kick, of course.
At this time, the attendant opened the door, and Sadiq entered: "Your Highness, I just received an urgent letter from Langdon, in order to calm the affairs of the Valley Territory, the Duchess of the Valley has decided to return to the Valley Territory accompanied by her fiancΓ©, may I ask ......"
Sadiq paused, looked suspiciously at the slap print on Elizabeth's skin, and the next moment he pretended not to see itβit was undoubtedly rude to delve into such a thing.
"Your Highness, are you going to wait here for the Duchess and Duchess to arrive?"
Elizabeth glanced at the king and replied, "No, we will not wait. It is urgent to save the world, and we will set off after the water gate is cleared. β
The king nodded, signaling to Elizabeth that she had said the right thing.
Sadiq: "I heard you're wandering around the castle, are you looking for something?" If we tell us, we should be able to mobilize enough people to help find it. β
Wang: "Oh no, we're just admiring the very different architecture of this castle from the inner city of Langdon. β
Sadiq: "This castle is more defensive, so it's not as grand as Landon City. I don't think it's worth visiting...... Also, I noticed that you took down a specimen, what happened to this specimen? β
The king turned his head to look at the specimen and saw that Nini had no chance to hang it back up, so the elf was now standing there with a deer head with huge antlers, looking a little dazed.
Wang: "Ah, this ...... Our werewolf had never seen such a deer, and when he saw it, he went berserk, pounced on it, and tore it apart. We're getting ready to put it back. β
Xiao Bai immediately showed his fangs and let out a wild roar: "Boom! β
Sadiq looked at Xiaobai, then at Wang, and finally decided to pretend that he didn't notice anything: "I see, Miss Elf just put down the deer's head, and then I will send someone to clean it up." β
Marika suddenly said, "It seems that the acting official has suddenly acquired a manpower that he can use at will. β
The acting official smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a fox and a fake tiger, you are now the saviors of the river valley territory, and your reputation is huge, and the vassals of the river valley are also ready to build a giant statue for you, I just borrowed this prestige." β
Elizabeth was speechless: "I finally understand why my second brother sent you over." β
Sadiq smiled, and then took his leave: "Then I will not disturb you to visit the castle, if there is anything useful, please tell the servants in the castle, and they will inform me." β
Wang: "You have to arrange the preparations for the duchess and her fiancΓ©, so go about your business." We finished our walk, and when the water gate was cleared, we set off immediately. The captain had been ordered to take the ship to the harbor of Lakeside City to pick us up when the water gate was cleared. β
"Then it looks like we're going to have to restore the harbor in Lakeside City, and it looks like the most convenient thing to do now is to transfer pilots and handovers from Langdon." β
It has been almost half a century since the territorial shipping of the river valley withered, and there have long been no skilled pilots, and there is a shortage of dock workers.
If you hire a large number of pilots, dock workers, and workers who need to dredge the river in normal times, you can quickly fill the valley with a large number of Langdons.
These people have long been accustomed to the rule of Duke Langdon, and regard the Duke as their own lord, and their arrival will definitely greatly strengthen Duke Langdon's control over the River Valley Territory.
Sadiq's calculation was earth-shattering.
But it has nothing to do with the upcoming Salvation Squad.
After seeing Sadiq leave, Elizabeth immediately pulled out the Beholder Necklace, only to see her unsteady feet due to the vision shared by the necklace.
After all, the necklace that was just pulled out is still shaking, and the line of sight is naturally swaying violently, and the original vision of the human eye is stable, and the brain has never seen this scene, so it is normal to be dizzy.
Wang hugged her and stuffed the necklace back again: "You better get used to it slowly, I suggest that you can leave a little gap for the time being, and let in a little light, so that you can slowly get used to having three sources of vision." β
Elizabeth: "This necklace is useless for me, how am I going to kill an adult Eye Demon?" β
Wang: "With the dwarven Eye Demon Buster Shield, I won't let you go through this dangerous ritual until I find it." Also, the Beholder isn't such an easy creature to find. β
"What's the use of that?"
"Three instantaneous scorching rays a day! This ray doesn't need to be cast, it's instantaneous! β
"It's ray again! Do I only have one purpose for emitting rays? β
Wang: "Once you've defeated the Adult Eye Demon, you'll have more than that." β
"I ......"
Wang pressed his hands on Elizabeth's shoulders: "You are the only one in the squad who spontaneously casts spells, and we urgently need to strengthen the team's spellcasting ability now." And if you wear this, I feel more at ease if you have a little more means to deal with the enemy. β
Elizabeth stared at the king's face for a few seconds before nodding, "Well, okay. β
Wang: "As for how to kill the Eye Demon in the future, it's not bad to think about it when you find the shield." In fact, you don't have to worry too much, the eye demon encounters a beauty like you is generally just petrified, and it can be recovered with the de-petrification of the six rings.
"If I hadn't mastered the Six Rings spell at that time, we could have taken your stone statue and put it on the bow of the ship to make a bow statue or something, so you could continue the journey with us. When you recover, you can tell me if you have consciousness and senses in your petrified state. β
Silence fell again.
Flint: "If you want to beat him, we can do that." β
Wang: "I'm complimenting her on being as beautiful as a goddess like the bow of a ship." The bow statue on our ship is the goddess of water, and it is also famous for its beauty in the goddess. β
Elizabeth sighed, adjusted the position of the necklace that had just been stuffed in by herself, and then sorted out the messy clothes herself.
Wang: "Remember to leave a little light, don't completely block death." You'll have to get used to the feeling of three eyes. β
Elizabeth reluctantly repositioned the necklace to reveal a little.
"Are you satisfied?" She asked.
Wang: "Are you faint?" β
"It's okay, the three eyes are not as hard to adapt as I thought." The princess spun around as she spoke.
Although her steps were a little vague, she still completed the lap well.
Wang: "All right, then let's continue our visit to the castle." β
Xiaobai: "You still want to loot?" β
Wang: "Of course. Now that you've found a good thing, you'll naturally look forward to the next one. Let's go. β
As he spoke, he took the lead in opening the door on the other side and patted the arm of Gao Trick, who was guarding the door: "Okay, come along." β
"Good!" The brute replied.
**
However, the ensuing search was completely fruitless.
It looks like the valley collar really has no treasures left.
It was a feast that night, with the counts, viscounts, and barons of the Valley Realm gathering to celebrate the reopening of the mines.
Even the lords of the western plains of the valley territory came, because if the territory prospered, the grain produced on the plains and the milk and beer produced on the plains could be sold at a good price.
In the middle of the feast, a bard suddenly came to the main table.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, Your Excellency the Great Archmage, and all of you of the Salvation Squad! I've written a ballad to celebrate your efforts to save the valley leader! A copy of the ballad has been sent to the Bard Academy in Monrovia!
"Now, allow me to perform for everyone!"
Elizabeth nodded, "Please." β
The bard plucked the strings and began to sing.
He had only finished singing two lines when Flint, who had drunk too much, interrupted him: "What are you, you might as well sing as the bards of the mercenary group!" So, academic poets just can't do it! Come, I'll give you a paragraph! β
Saying that, the dwarf used to snatch the bard's rude, and skillfully tuned the stringsβit can only be said that he is worthy of the priest of Kailin, who can tap dance and touch the harp.
As he adjusted, the dwarf said, "You bastard, you must have been busy in a woman's bed all day, and you haven't tuned your harp much at all, and if our captain were to find a bard like you, I would be against it!" β
When the piano was tossed, the dwarf played a cheerful melody and sang: "Libya ~ Libya Moletika ~"
Wang: "This is a dwarven toast, and the lyrics are along the lines 'Let us raise the glass of joy~'"
Flint glared at the mage, "Can you stop explaining it and feel it with your heart!" β
Then he continued to sing, and the cheerful melody wafted through the hall.
The king went on to say to Elizabeth: "When my uncle was drinking, he either sang this song or sang the song he learned from a certain plane, 'Oh young friends, let's meet one cup after another,' 'One cup to the hometown and one cup to the distance,'......"
Elizabeth: "They told you not to interrupt." β
The king shrugged.
When Flint finished singing, the audience applauded.
The bard, who had been robbed of the harp, asked suspiciously, "Aren't you going to sing the praises of the heroic deeds of the Salvation Squad?" Isn't this just an ordinary "Drinking Song" you are singing? β
Flint: "I'm also a member of the Salvation Squad, how can I be embarrassed to boast about myself?" I'm just showing you how a bard is supposed to sing, even though I'm not a bard. β
Barbarian: "High! β
The dwarf threw the harp back to the bard and picked up the glass: "I'll help you make it, and you can drink this cup with me, and you will pay for it." β
The bard nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you for this glass." β
The two clinked glasses, and then the dwarf drank it all, and the human bard only drank a little.
The dwarf snorted: "You bard, you don't play the piano well, you write mediocre tunes, you can't make up words well, and then you drink and are such a mother-in-law, you will definitely not become a good bard!" If I had to give you advice, I would suggest starting with alcoholism, where are the bards who don't drink? β
The bard retorted in a weak voice: "You are prejudiced, and there are all kinds of bards. β
"Yes, yes, but the bard is not bored. Don't look at those old bards who can't control the appearance of the second child when they see a woman, and sleep with the tavern maid when they walk to the new tavern, but those are all appearances. The most basic requirement to become a bard is to enjoy your journey! Women are just part of the journey! β
The bard wanted to say something, but the dwarf shook his head and walked away, saying to the colorful members of the Salvation Squad: "This bard can't do it, the academy will never be a good bard, and you must not find this kind of waste from the bard academy in Monrovia." β
Wang: "As I said, I won't use open recruitment to increase members in the future, this is to avoid being infiltrated again." As long as we don't know when anyone will join, there will be no ghosts! β
Dwarf: "Did you say that?" Oh, as if to say, I'm getting high and my head is a little confused. I've got to have another drink, sober up. β
As he spoke, he took another glass of wine from the tray of a passing waiter and drank it in a heroic manner.
**
Early the next morning, Sadiq sent someone to inform the Salvation Team that the Star Chase was anchored at the outermost berth of the harbor and was ready to set off down the river.
The king shook his head: "Got it, we'll go as soon as we finish preparing today's spell." β
After the messenger left, Flint sat up with his head covered, "Damn, I drank too much yesterday and still have a headache." I think I should have a hangover. β
He glanced at the mage who was preparing the spell and asked, "What four-ring magic should I prepare today?" β
The king glanced up at him and said, "We should not encounter an enemy today, and it is enough to prepare some conventional spells." β
Flint: "Then I'll decide for myself." Hurry up and enter the ring, not to mention you, the druids should rely on their closeness to nature to enter the ring, right? β
Wang: "Maybe from the druid's point of view, cavemen are not natural creatures, so not being familiar with the ecology of cavemen can be regarded as increasing our understanding of nature?" What's more, the cavemen we came into contact with were actually monsters conjured by Ramashtu's abilities. β
At this time, Xiaobai, who was lying on the bed and snoring, suddenly shouted: "Don't snatch my ham, ham!" β
She sat up.
Wang: "Welcome to wake up, please start preparing today's spell, little white." β
Xiaobai didn't reply, but got up and casually found a cloth and began to wipe his face.
**
By the time the sun had risen to nine o'clock, the Salvation Squad had all gotten up and had eaten in the long hall, which served as a dining room.
The king asked the priest to carefully examine Elizabeth's health.
The dwarf said to the mage after completing the complete examination, "Your Highness's body is a little weak, it should be a lack of nutrition, and I must oppose the continuation of the experiment." β
In order to test the function of the soup spoon, Elizabeth used the soup conjured from the spoon to send the beans that were the specialty of the Master Tower.
Wang looked down at the soup spoon: "Originally, when it looked like it could filter toxicity, I thought maybe the soup was nutritious, but now it seems that this thing can really only make our water a little more delicious." β
Nini joins the conversation: "You can still go to the poison, I think it's okay." β
Wang: "Yes, when we enter the desert of Catala in the future, this soup spoon will allow us to drink urine without any psychological burden." β
All the squad members sitting next to the long table stopped and looked at the mage.
Wang Ze looked at everyone with a surprised face: "What are you shocking about?" Being forced to drink urine during travel is part of surviving. My teacher drank it back then, so I have to drink it too! And when you really have to choose between dying of thirst or drinking urine, you don't have a choice. β
Flint: "I'm a priest, and I have watermaking. And it's a magic trick, and it's used casually every day. β
Silence descended on the long table.
Wang was embarrassed and said, "Well, what if something happens to Flint?" Just like the cat people. In short, be prepared! β
Xiaobai: "Are you sure you don't want to drink it yourself?" β
"Of course I don't want to! Let's not talk about it, hurry up, the star is waiting for us. β
**
After eating and drinking, they simply said goodbye to the acting officer, Sadiq, and left the castle.
As soon as he left the castle, the king was astonished, for he saw all the people of the lakeside city coming out of their homes and huddled together on the side of the avenue leading to the port.
Upon seeing the team members, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers.
"That's the heroes who defeated the lich Zammam and saved the Vale!"
Wang habitually began to correct: "It's not Zamam, it's Elzam Malcolm, but his name can indeed be abbreviated as Mom in the future." β
But no one tried him.
The people continued to discuss happily:
"The one who rides the wolf is the archmage king, this king is the meaning of the king, the king of the archmage!"
"The one next to me is the queen, I heard my sister-in-law who married Langdon Lord, she is a real saint, and the people of Langdon Lord's house hang her portrait, which can drive away evil spirits and cure diseases!"
"Portrait of the Holy Maiden 50 silver coins each!"
"Look at the saint, the neck bone is still inlaid with gold!"
In fact, it is the chain of the scorching ray necklace, and the necklace itself hides secondary sexual characteristics, and the chain looks like it overlaps with the neck bone.
"They also have two elves! It is worthy of the salvation team, and the average team burns high incense with an elf! β
"But why are their elves black and white?"
"That's called Drow, Earth Leopard. Usually Drow eats children, this is surrendered by the Holy Maiden! β
"I heard they also have a dwarf, but I didn't see it."
When the king heard this, he turned his head to look at Gautrik, and as usual, there was a basket in the back saddle of the barbarian's horse, and there was a faint whisper of a dwarf from it.
At this time, he heard someone read: "Didn't you say that there are seven people in the salvation team?" That's only six, huh? β
The giant wolf under the king's crotch snapped back, and Xiaobai raised his hand: "Here, here, here!" β
All at once all the cheering and whispering stopped.
Everyone looked at the mage riding a little girl who was much shorter than themselves.
was noticed by everyone, Xiaobai was quite proud, ran more confidently, and had no intention of changing back at all.
Elizabeth held back for a few seconds, and finally couldn't stop laughing.
In this way, the seven people who got the title of "Salvation Squad" set out towards Monrovia, aiming at the capital of Monrovia and the most prosperous human city on the mainland: Minoan City!
