Chapter 108 Unexpected Greeting

At this time, the wind was favorable, and the speed of the Star Chaser was very fast. It didn't take long for Wang and Elizabeth on the deck to see the smoke from the ferry.

The fire had evidently just started, and the smoke was not particularly thick.

There were galloping wolf cavalry on the bank. The king couldn't see what they were doing with his current eyesight. They were probably shooting the boats on the river.

Wang heard a "whoosh" sound from above his head, he looked up and saw Nini holding the bow, the arrow had disappeared.

Looking at the team of wolf knights again, the leading wolf knight suddenly fell off the back of the wolf and was nailed to the ground.

Nini opened the bow again. When she opened the bow with both hands, she only relied on her legs to maintain stability, as if she was glued to the watchtower on the top of the mast.

Another wolf rider was shot down to the ground, and the wolf who lost the restraint of the knight went into a state of madness, and even bit the neck of the wolf next to him!

The other wolf cavalry looked dazed. They formed a circle, guarding all directions, obviously not aware of where the attack came from.

Nini continued to shoot, and brought down three wolf riders in a row.

At this time, the orc decided to run away, and the remaining wolves galloped down the road along the river.

Wang turned his head and said to Xiaobai who had just run onto the deck, holding a half-eaten ham in his hand, "Fly up! Ride with the wolves and see where they come from."

Xiaobai turned into a regular bald eagle, grabbed the ham that hadn't started to fall in the air, and flew into the sky.

Elizabeth: "Does she have to bring a ham? When she was in Landon City, she followed the dragon you turned into and carried a big ham all the time. We were all dumbfounded at that time."

Wang: "The task has to be done, but the ham cannot be lost."

At this time, the dwarf ran to the mage panting: "What happened?"

The dwarf was blocked by the gunwale and could not see what was happening on the shore.

Wang: "The wolf cavalry has been defeated by Nini, about 1000 meters away. I really don't understand why she has to improve her archery skills. How strong is her teacher?"

Flint frowned: "We just heard yesterday from the border uncle that the new overlord brought out by the orcs is about to start a war, and the wolf cavaliers who looted today have reached such a deep place?"

Elizabeth: "I chatted with the border count's little daughter at the banquet yesterday. At that time, there was a little boy who was fostered by the baron's family and kept chattering about using these things to attract the little girl's attention."

Aristocrats often look to their superior lords as guardians for their children.

The children sent here will generally become the playmates of the next-generation heirs of the superior lord, so that when the children grow up and inherit the old man's territory, they will have a closer relationship with each other.

The nobles consolidated their rule in this way.

So there are many children of lower nobles living in the castle of the Border Count.

The little boy Elizabeth mentioned was probably one of them.

Elizabeth continued: "From the child's mouth, we can know that the current overlord unified all the tribes last fall, but then winter came, and the grasslands also had to spend the winter.

"This spring, there have been reports of wolf cavalry raids one after another. The wolf cavalry can feed their wolves with livestock from Monrovia, and they can also hunt, so there is no need for supplies at all, and they have been driving straight in.

"And wolf cavalry is particularly effective against human cavalry, because war horses will be afraid when they see a wolf, so humans have long lacked effective means of countering wolf cavalry."

Wang: "That kid really knows a lot."

Elizabeth shook her head: "No, the boy has been talking non-stop, but the key information is all supplemented by the little daughter of the border uncle. I always feel that this little girl will become a big thing in the future."

Wang: "I don't like red clothes, I like to be armed. There are many female generals in Monrovia's history, and they even have a wheelchair-bound general.

"The bard's poem says he used a wheelchair to knock out the capital of the confederacy of the lower river states, and the river states have never been in a confederacy since."

Flint looked at the mage: "You are almost as knowledgeable as a bard, so is it really necessary for us to find a bard?"

Wang: "I only know the stories written in the bard's ballad, and we need to collect that ballad in our mage tower. In fact, no one from our mage tower has come to this plane to study for a long time. I actually still have the responsibility to update this plane. You can get credits for the task of interviewing intelligence."

"Credit?" Flint shook his head. "The last time I heard this word, it was from the mage of the Arcane Federation."

Elizabeth suddenly patted Wang on the shoulder: "There is a troop of cavalry on the river bank."

At this time, the cavalry leading the cavalry on the river bank shouted: "Excuse me, is this the Star Chaser of the Duchess of Langdon? Thank you for repelling the wolf cavalry for me! I am the lord of this ferry, and it is convenient to come to my castle to share Lunch, I would like to express my solemn thanks."

Wang muttered in a low voice: "This means that the drunken man's intention is not to drink. Are you going?"

Elizabeth shouted directly: "No need! I appreciate your kindness, but we have an urgent task, so we can't stop casually. Goodbye!"

Flint couldn't see the cavalry on the shore, but that didn't stop him from rambling: "You're talking too softly, you should say, I'm a duke anyway, what grade do you want to have dinner with me?"

Elizabeth pretended not to hear what the dwarf said.

The man on the shore still didn't give up: "My father and mother are eagerly looking forward to your visit."

Elizabeth: "Say hello to both of you for me, and visit again after the crisis is resolved."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and waved it.

Wang turned his head and said to the captain at the helm: "full sail, full speed ahead. Keep the left rudder away from the shore."

"Okay!" The captain immediately turned the rudder, and the Star Chaser gradually left the shore like this.

The horse team on the shore could only slow down gradually, watching the star chasing away.

Almost two hours later, when the sun began to sink, Xiaobai's bald eagle flew back.

As soon as it flew close, Wang asked, "Why did it take you so long to come back?"

Xiaobai was probably in a hurry to reply, and turned back into a human before he landed. He hit the deck and rolled around before standing up. He patted the dust on his body and replied, "The wolves ran very far. They have a dog in the deep forest." Raid the camp, I didn't come back until I saw the camp."

Wang: "Orcs, built a camp in the hinterland of the human empire?"

Xiaobai nodded again and again.

At this time, Mr. Wang felt that something was missing from her body. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly remembered, and asked, "Where's your ham?"

Xiaobai: "Eat! The orc camp was killing horses and cattle for meat. I was hungry, so I transformed back on the tree next to it and ate the ham."

... You can still desert during the investigation!

Wang waved his hand and continued to ask, "Can you point out the location of the camp on the map?"

Xiaobai nodded.

Wang took out the map of Monrovia from the dimension bag and unfolded it.

Xiaobai looked at the map and drew a piece of land with his finger.

Wang: "So big? Do you know the scale of this map? You can draw at least two baronies in this one."

Xiaobai: "What is a scale?"

Well, this guy doesn't know how to read a map at all, he just drew a range based on his general impression!

Wang: "Next time you scout, don't use ham, but use your paws to drag Nini to the sky. She is a ranger, so she must know how to read maps, and she will be able to accurately mark the positions of the enemies."

The dwarf asked suspiciously: "Are we going to get involved with the orc invasion? Didn't we follow the list you made, finish the things one by one after entering the city, and then continue down the Maxunya River?" ?”

Wang: "I think what if I can sell the emperor of Monrovia a favor?"

Elizabeth: "I think it's more difficult to sell favors based on an orc camp. And...whether we will meet that majesty is still a question."

Wang: "In theory, you should be able to see it. After all, your second brother is a strong competitor for the Kuusanian emperor. Your second brother is an emperor, and he is also an emperor. He should come to see you and say some polite words.

"But Flint was right. We immediately followed the checklist and went straight to the clues when we entered the city. If we didn't, we continued south."

Just as Elizabeth was about to speak, her eyes were suddenly attracted by the giant city that appeared on the horizon.

Minos, the city that never falls.The tall white city wall is a legacy left by the civilization of the last century. It is said that before it was occupied by humans, it was already a lair of various monsters.

It took the ancestors of the Monrovian Empire a generation to completely occupy the ruins, and centuries to rebuild everything beyond the city walls from scratch.

But even though humans in Monrovia have developed for hundreds of years, the most brilliant and most eye-catching aspect of Minos is the giant wall built of white granite.

On the periphery of the giant wall is the city wall built by humans to protect the new urban area. Although humans have worked hard to make the wall magnificent, it still pales in comparison to the tall white wall.

Together with the huge wall, there is also a tall tower. It is said that it was once the mage's tower of a great mage, which is why it soars into the sky.

Wang looked at the white city from a distance, and suddenly said: "I heard that no one can enter that high tower yet?"

Elizabeth: "It is said that this is the case. There are many rumors. It is said that the emperor of Monrovia has found a way to enter, but the secrets discovered inside are too important to protect Monrovia's millennium state, so it is announced that he cannot enter.

"There is also a saying that the tower can be entered from the air, but those who enter are all silent, bringing the secret into the tomb."

Wang: "Well~"

Elizabeth: "You don't want to try to look into this tower, do you?"

Wang: "It's all here! Besides, in order to defeat the cult that can send out the seven ring mages to encircle and suppress us at any time, we need the artifacts that may be in the tower!"

Flint also booed: "Sacred Artifact! Don't you look forward to it, Your Highness?"

Elizabeth: "Now there is an artifact that hurts my chest, so I don't care much about artifacts anymore."

At this time, the captain on the stern building behind him shouted: "On the left is Marienburg, the number one acropolis of Minos! If this place is not lost, the Lai Enlan River and the Mashunya River will become a barrier for Minos! In front is the famous long bridge!"

When the captain's voice fell, everyone had already seen the long bridge flying from north to south.

Even people who are not familiar with architecture know that this damn bridge can't be made by humans, either by dwarves, or by some archmage with legendary magic.

By the way, many people also think that the tall tower in Baicheng should be the work of legendary spells - legendary archmages often use legendary magic to build mage towers for themselves.

Rather, being able to use spells to create a tower out of thin air on flat ground is the mark of becoming a legendary mage.

Legendary mages usually board the magic ship shortly after completing the creation of the mage tower, visit other planets, and prepare for leaving the crystal wall system or even the original plane.

Therefore, these mage towers are generally empty, and will be occupied by latecomers whose strength is not as legendary.This is how the tower of the Austrian Federation came about.

Now everyone held their heads up, looking at the bridge that was about to pass overhead.

The dwarf took out his pipe: "No matter how many times I look at it, the long bridge is an amazing masterpiece. As a dwarf, I have to bow down. It shows the power of this bridge to make a dwarf bow down."

At this time, the shadow of the long bridge fell on everyone, covering the entire ship.

Wang: "I'm thinking, is the bridge in Shuimen Town just like this one? It's just scaled down dozens of times."

Elizabeth: "You said that... indeed. Even the fort at the head of the bridge has been reproduced. Wait a minute, I see the writing on the pier."

The dwarf laughed and said, "That word is very famous, don't you know, Your Highness? Many people think it's a puzzle, and some people even associate it with the giant tower that cannot be opened in Baicheng, thinking that the two are man-made. Words are the key to unlocking the giant tower."

Wang took out his binoculars to observe the writing on the bridge pier: "It looks like the characters of the ancient Cyclops Empire, and the patterns on the pier are also very similar to the patterns of the Cyclops Empire."

Using both hands and feet, Xiaobai jumped up on the king's neck like a monkey and rode on it. He took the binoculars and said, "Give me Kangkang!"

The mage whose telescope was robbed put his hand on Xiaobai's feet to prevent her from falling.After all, she doesn't have Nini's terrifying balance ability.

Elizabeth asked: "Do you know the characters of the Cyclops Empire?"

"Of course, the Cyclops once developed a brilliant civilization. Their civilization is based on the extensive use of magic. As a mage, not knowing the Cyclops language is the same as not knowing the dragon language. It is very unprofessional."

Elizabeth: "My teacher also told me about the Cyclops. He said that the Cyclops Empire is a created country. After all, the Cyclops are stupid and barbaric now. It doesn't look like they can create a brilliant Cyclops civilization. .

"He also said that many people now think that some magical props and magnificent ancient buildings are from the hands of Cyclops, mainly because of this one-eyed symbol."

As she spoke, Elizabeth took the king's hand and drew on his palm.

Wang: "The Eye of Horus, similar marks appear in many places on this plane. The Catalans believe that this is a unique symbol of their ancient dynasty. The Lizardman tribe often draws this on their totems.

"But it may be a proof of the prosperity of the ancient Cyclops empire. At that time, whether it was human beings or lizardmen, they were all uncivilized primitive races. It was normal for them to regard Cyclops who had mastered the power enough to change the world as gods." .

"What's interesting is that this symbol doesn't only appear in one plane, but also in other planes. My teacher has a necklace brought back from another plane. The pendant of the necklace is an inverted pyramid with the one-eyed symbol on it.

"After my teacher wears this necklace, he will become very good at playing wizard cards, and he can always draw key cards at critical moments. And when he wears this necklace to play cards, his hairstyle will become very cool."

At this time, the dwarf coughed: "I'm sorry to interrupt your lecture, Mr. Wang, what is written on the bridge pier? Is it really related to the mystery of the White Tower?"

Wang: "What is written on the bridge pier is: the absence of an answer is also an answer."

Xiao Bai, who was sitting on his neck, suddenly beat his head hard: "The Riddler, get out!"

Wang aggrieved and shouted: "I didn't say it! They wrote it like that!"

Elizabeth looked contemplative: "What the hell does this mean?"

Wang: "Maybe it's just a proverb of the Cyclops. The Cyclops thinks that creatures with fewer eyes are more advanced, and creatures without eyes are the closest to gods. You can see that it fits well with this sentence. Without eyes, the answer is missing. Then Of course it's an answer."

Elizabeth: "Then it is engraved here..."

Wang: "Maybe it's used to mark the water level. Never mind, although we count the tower in our to-do list, it's at the bottom, which means it's the least important.

"Others have studied it for so many years, but they have not found a way to get in, and it is normal for us not to be able to find it.

"That's why we pay attention to randomness. If you can go in and get good things, it's naturally good. If you can't get it, don't force it."

While saying this, the captain's voice came from behind: "After crossing the long bridge, we will arrive at the port of Kanos in half an hour. There should be a pilot from the port coming by boat to show us the way soon."

Wang made an "understanding" gesture.

At this time, Nini's voice came from above her head: "There is a galley flying the royal flag of Monrovia coming towards us!"

Wang and Elizabeth looked at each other.

Elizabeth: "You didn't come to see me, did you?"

Wang: "It shouldn't be. Aren't they going to fight the orcs? Why are you here?"

By this time the galley was approaching.

In order to get as close as possible to the Star Chaser, the oars of the galley were all erected, and they slid towards the Star Chaser only by inertia.

Standing at the prow of the galley was a knight in armor gleaming in the setting sun, with the fleur-de-lys of Monrovia on the armor.

Before the ship approached, the knight said loudly: "I am Audie Myhrvold, the third prince of Monrovia. I heard that the disciple of the legendary archmage is on this ship!"

Wang raised his right hand, and Xiao Bai, who was riding on his neck, also raised the same hand: "I am!"

The third prince, Audi Myhrvold, praised: "Sure enough, he is the disciple of the legendary archmage, even the magic pet is so different!"

It seems that he regards Xiaobai as a magic pet.

Wang's crow demon pet swooped down from the sky and hovered over the head of the third prince, yelling while circling: "Fool, fool!"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Wang took the initiative to ask: "May I ask what your Highness the Third Prince wants from me?"

Naturally, it is impossible for the third prince to find him, and the king is well aware of this.But he was just pretending to be stupid.

Audie Myhrvold didn't make any detours: "It's actually my father, the Emperor of Monrovia is looking for you. He wants to entrust you to solve the mystery of the tower of the White City. Please follow me to the inner city quickly, I will Father and the ministers are waiting for you!"
