mage's dating rules

Chapter 111 The mage decides to ask for side assistance
As soon as Wang finished speaking, Rosalie said, "Don't, why don't you at least go to the scene and see for yourself?"

Wang: "I originally wanted to see what the predecessors did, and then look at it with a purpose after understanding it. At least through the efforts of the predecessors, I removed those things that they had already practiced in my conception. In this way, I Then you can go to the field with ideas that no one has tried before.

"It's called targeting."

He paused, and took a picture of the book on the table: "In the end, all my ideas were rejected by the predecessors. They tried them all. They even tried the methods that I didn't think of. But you are right, I should Go to the scene and see if His Highness is willing to be a guide?"

The fourth princess turned her head and asked Elizabeth: "Has he always been so disrespectful? He even said to me, a princess, 'Do you want to be a guide'!"

Wang: "Why, is it disrespectful to be a guide in Monrovia? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Rosalie raised her eyebrows: "What? No, how did you get here?"

Elizabeth: "His thinking circuit is different from ordinary people, and I'm used to it."

When she said this, Elizabeth was still a little proud.

Wang: "I just deduced it logically. If the result I deduced is incorrect, it is because the conditions you gave are wrong."

Elizabeth: "I understand, I understand, anyway, it's not your fault, it's right. So now should we go to His Majesty the Emperor, or go to the bottom of the tower?"

Rosalie stood up: "Let's go to the tower, I was going to go out to play today, the car was ready, but my brave fiancé ran back to his country.

"Really, if we don't stop the orc's frenzy, Audas will suffer too. He didn't stay here to learn about the orc's tactics, he just ran away!"

Elizabeth: "Okay then, shall we go in His Highness's carriage?"

Wang: "No, I plan to ride a horse. This way I can see the situation on the street. The enemy came too fast in Langdon that time, and there was basically no pre-war atmosphere. Today I want to see with my own eyes the ecology of ordinary people when the battle clouds are thick. .”

Rosalie stared at the mage: "You... are really indifferent."

Wang: "This is called rationality."

"No, I've seen a lot of rational people," Rosalie shook her head, "You are indifferent, like a spectator with cold eyes."

Elizabeth: "That's right, he's improved from when he first walked into the Three Boars Tavern, when he was simply a little boy whose long-awaited outing finally started."

Wang looked at Elizabeth: "I didn't expect you to hold grudges so much, little girl."

Apparently, both remember their first meeting at The Three Boars.

Rosalie inserted into the two-person world that was about to be formed: "Okay, stop! I know you have accumulated a lot of bonds. I have someone arrange a horse, and the dwarf also wants to ride one?"

The dwarf who had been drinking silently in the corner: "No no! I won't go!"

Wang: "You have to go. After all, you are a dwarf and have your own unique insights into masonry technology. Maybe you can crack this secret!"

Flint sighed: "How is it possible? Minos has a dwarf block. The artisans who came to this place to make a living back then were basically first-class experts. So I don't have to go, I just read books here..."

Flint looked at the bottle on the table.

"Uh, wine tasting!" he corrected.

Wang: "Wine tasting in the Wang Li Library?"

"Yeah! That's the atmosphere! We dwarves like to taste wine in the sea of ​​books!" Flint said firmly, "Kaylin's pastor never lies!"

Wang raised his eyebrows: "All right, Your Highness, there is no need to prepare baskets. Besides, I don't ride a horse."

As he spoke, he patted Xiaobai's head: "Get up, I'm leaving."

Xiaobai: "Dinner ready?"

"No, but I can give you a ham on the way."

"Ham!"

at the same time.

Emperor Bernal Myhrvold of Monrovia is studying the situation against the sand table with his generals.

"Our contact with the northeastern border uncle was cut off three days ago," the white-haired clover knight Connaught said worriedly, "maybe the army of orcs has crossed the border. After all, the wolf cavalry has already penetrated here, in Minos The surrounding plains have been plundered for a long time."

The title of Clover Knight mainly comes from the coat of arms of the Duke of Connaught.If you despise the old man because the title of "Clover Knight" seems weak, you will definitely suffer.

In fact, the Duke of Connaught is the military chief of Monrovia, commanding the standing army and knights in Monrovia. Even the Paladins, which nominally belong to the Church of Lancelot, cannot ignore his orders.

"There are a lot of refugees from the surrounding villages in the city now," Duke Connaught continued, "I suggest that the rationing system be adopted immediately and all the food in the city be confiscated. The orcs are coming fiercely, but we are here because of spring plowing. Spring did not gather troops!"

Bernal glanced at the Duke: "I mean giving priority to spring plowing. Correspondingly, I have hired a trustworthy mercenary group."

"Your Majesty, you are still young and don't understand. The mercenaries are okay in war games between human lords. When they really face the brutal orc army, they are the most untrustworthy people. During the last orc invasion 30 years ago ..."

Bernal: "At that time, I was also 20 years old, and I personally went into battle to kill the enemy. I think you are confused, don't you remember clearly? I know that mercenaries are not reliable!"

Duke of Connaught: "Then you still?"

"But at least they are more reliable than farmers with long guns. Most of the mercenaries I hired this time are archers. In addition, I also hired a mercenary group that specializes in hunting orcs. They will hang orc teeth as decorations body.

"I also hired the Sasalis Cavalry Regiment. They are all horse archers. They arrived three days ago and began to eliminate the wolf cavalry around Minos. The effect is remarkable, and they can send back a hundred pairs of orc ears every day!"

At this time, an attendant walked in without notifying, and ran directly to the emperor's side, whispering a few words.

These are the emperor's cronies and servants, and they are the emperor's eyes and ears.

After hearing the report, the emperor frowned and said, "They really went to the giant tower? Have they found a solution?"

The attendant shook his head: "The drow from the Salvation Squad is an experienced rogue, there is no way for us to sneak into the Royal Library and eavesdrop. The rogue has already killed three of us."

Emperor: "Is she going to kill like this? No face at all?"

"Yes. But I guess the other party will say that they don't know where these spies come from."

"What about the facts? Does she know?"

Attendant: "You should know that the corpses we found all had traces of torture, but she can say that these dead soldiers are all good, and she didn't reveal a word."

The emperor cursed, then stood up: "Guys, I'm going to have a look at the tower."

The Duke of Connaught was shocked: "At such a critical moment?"

Bernal: "Send Griffin Knights to detect movements on the border. According to the experience of 30 years ago, the orcs will plunder after conquering the border prince's territory, and they will not march in a month. We raised the border prince so fat , just for this day."

Although Bernal's words seemed ruthless, they were the consensus of the human army.The orc army has strong combat effectiveness, but it has no discipline. When it takes over a new territory, it will plunder until there is nothing left to rob.

The orc army generally didn't have a train when it first set off. The bigger the train, the more mobility it would have, and it would eventually be defeated by humans because of its slow movement.

And the orc warriors who are scattered like birds and beasts will try their best to return to their hometown with the harvest of their plunder.

Therefore, you should not fortify the walls and clear the field against the orc army, but it will make them advance quickly.

As a veteran, Connaught had fully experienced the last orc invasion, so he certainly knew this.

So instead of preventing the emperor from leaving, he turned around and began to issue various orders in the name of the emperor.Connaught has been his military chief since Bernal ascended the throne, which is considered a tacit agreement between him and the emperor.

Wang turned over and climbed onto the wolf that Xiaobai turned into, and he heard the knights guarding beside him gossip: "My team encountered orc wolf cavalry before, and the horse was terrified when it smelled of a wolf. Go and smell it!"

Wang: "This is a druid turned into a wolf, of course it's different. Animals will naturally be close to druids."

Several knights made an "oh" sound.

Wang continued to ask: "Have you encountered wolf cavalry outside the city?"

"If you meet it, it will be strange if you don't meet it."

Wang: "I should have submitted the location of the orc wolf cavalry camp to the emperor's military director, the Duke of Connaught. Didn't he send someone to encircle and suppress it?"

Several knights looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally the leader spread his hands: "I haven't heard of any siege, maybe the Duke of Connaught doesn't believe your information?"

Wang cursed, but what happened to Monrovia has nothing to do with him.He was just passing by to inquire about something.

He patted Xiaobai's head, and the giant wolf swaggered up.

Rosalie hurried to catch up with him: "Do you know how to get there?"

Wang pointed to the giant tower: "Wouldn't it be over if you walk towards the tower?"

Rosalie smiled and said, "Really? Then you lead the way, and I will follow."

Wang ignored the meaning of Rosalie's smile at all, and directly drove Xiaobai to walk away.

**
Ten minutes later, Wang looked down at the map he had hand-painted: "It's strange, it should be possible to go out? Has this city been planned?"

"The answer is no." Rosalie laughed. "Before Myhrvold I wiped out the monsters entrenched here, this place was a ruin. I don't know how many centuries this ruin has passed. Different species have occupied this place, according to their own needs. Remodel whatever you want."

As she spoke, she pointed to something like a doorway above the gutter next to it: "See that dog hole? People from the Royal Institute of Architects believe that it is actually the corridor of the owner of this place in a certain era."

Wang squinted his eyes and looked at the dog hole: "So short? Flint has to bow his head when he walks here!"

Rosalie: "Right? When humans occupy this place, it will become a drainage ditch. This is how I think about this city. I don't know what race left a huge wall. Other races saw it and thought it was good, so they lived in it one after another. .

"And then after so many years of tinkering, it became like this. It is basically impossible for outsiders not to get lost."

The king was speechless, and then sincerely apologized to Rosalie: "I'm sorry, I'm too arrogant, please Miss Rosalie——His Royal Highness please guide me."

Rosalie: "I quite like your straightforward way of apologizing when you make a mistake."

When she said "I like it very much", Rosalie looked at Elizabeth with a playful smile.

Elizabeth raised her head, with a look of "you jump around casually, as long as I take it to heart, I will lose".

"This way please!" Rosalie snapped her fingers, kicked the horse's stomach lightly, and then pulled the rein to turn the horse.

In the next ten minutes, Rosalie brought everyone to the foot of the giant tower like magic.

Wang: "There is a wall under the tower?"

Rosalie: "It's not possible without a wall. A strange belief in the giant tower has formed in the city. They think that the tower is the master of the world. They are divided into many factions. Some believe that as long as they draw pictures on the tower, they can change their lives. Fate, while others think that climbing the tower is a trial bestowed by the true God.

"Without this wall, many people would fall to death every day under the tower."

Wang's mouth was wide open, and he looked up at the smooth surface of the giant tower: "Climbing the tower? Can this thing climb?"

Rosalie: "They really climbed. It seems that the founder of the sect learned a little bit of qigong from a certain monk. After improvement, he glued his hands and feet to the tower with qi, and climbed up little by little.

"He also gave this technique a name, what is Ripple Qigong, and said that he can feel its ripples and climb up by grasping the ripples."

Wang: "Then, has the founder climbed himself?"

Rosalie: "He claimed that he had already climbed over it, and now his duty is to teach this Qigong on the ground. In the past, some people fell to their death because of practicing this Qigong, and their relatives asked him to settle the score."

Wang: "And then?"

"This is a half-baked method obtained from a monk. There is nothing ordinary people can do to get him. But he claimed that it was after climbing to the top of the tower that he understood the essence of the world, so he obtained the magic power.

"When the wall is built, he will become even more unscrupulous and form a large religious group in the city."

Elizabeth: "Isn't this just a simple charlatan?"

Rosalie: "Yeah."

Wang: "Your Highness, please ask the guard to open the door. We cannot study the giant tower through the wall."

"give it to me."

**
A few minutes later, the king had arrived at the foot of the giant tower.

Under his feet is the pedestal rebuilt by the dwarves. The entire pedestal is made of huge stones, and the tone is a little darker than the giant tower itself. It is the same white as the city wall of Minos, and the pedestal is gray.

Moreover, there is no trace of years of erosion on the tower body, but the base made of huge stones is already covered with mottled spots.

Wang came to the giant tower cautiously, stretched out his hand and stroked its surface.

Elizabeth does the same thing.

She said: "It's so cool. Even though I've been exposed to the hot summer sun, it's not hot at all!"

Wang Ze squatted down and touched the ground, but was so burned that he immediately withdrew his hand.

He muttered: "If it wasn't for such a small amount of heat that is not enough to make the giant tower float in the air, I would suspect that this thing uses solar energy."

At this moment, an announcement came from a distance: "The emperor of Monrovia is here!"

Kuusania did not have such ostentation. When the emperor came, he would at most ask the courier to send a letter first, and he would not announce it so loudly if he came directly without sending the letter.

Bernal Myhrvold rode his horse to a place seven or eight steps away from the members of the Salvation Squad, got off his horse, and then asked expectantly: "After spending so many days in the Royal Library, have you found a way to open the giant tower?" ?”

Wang: "No. I read all the records of Monrovia up to now, very carefully. Then I found no clue. I wanted to report directly to give up, but your daughter, the fourth princess Rosalie Suggest that I come and see this thing.”

Bernal: "After reading it?"

Wang: "Sure enough, let's give up. This thing is beyond my understanding at the moment. I may come back to study this puzzle after my ninth ring."

The mage paused, and when he spoke again, he recited the Cyclops proverb on the long bridge: "The absence of an answer is also an answer."

After reciting, he turned his head and stared at the tower for a few seconds.

The tower was completely unresponsive.

Wang: "Damn it, I thought it would be the most clichéd development. If you think about it carefully, many people must have read this proverb in front of it, but this kind of behavior is not worth recording at all."

Bernal did not hide his disappointment at all: "It seems that we will not be able to provide convenience for the rescue team. In fact, the situation is very bad now. Several border officials in the northeast have been out of contact for three days, and refugees have come from this place one after another. direction to run.

"Maybe the orc army has crossed the border."

Wang: "About this, what you said before is that I can't solve this puzzle, so I suspect my identity as the disciple of the legendary archmage, right? I noticed that Master Mel came with you, so I think I will It can be proven."

Mel: "Do you want to take out your magical props and the book that contains all the spells known in your mage tower? In fact, we have known for a long time that you have an extraordinary background. Maybe your teacher is not the one you said , but certainly not too much difference.

"Your Majesty is just looking for an excuse to make you work harder. But the king keeps his promises, so he won't change his words now. You won't get official help here unless you open this mage tower."

Wang was stunned: "So that's the case. I was still thinking that you didn't get the information about the magical equipment in my hand. It seems that the Shadow Thief and your military intelligence department are not doing well. Now that you say it, everything becomes reasonable .”

Rosalie: "Didn't you realize that before?"

Wang: "No."

Elizabeth said in a very understanding tone: "His logical thinking relies on mathematics, and he cannot draw conclusions that cannot be drawn from mathematics. It is too difficult for him to expect him to understand this subtext."

Bernal: "In short, that's it. In addition, I would like to remind everyone, if you don't want to be surrounded by orcs in the city, you should start as soon as possible. No matter where you are going, don't stay in Minos City."

Wang: "How long will the orcs arrive?"

Bernal: "It depends on how long it takes them to plunder the border territories. Judging from the orc invasion I experienced when I was 20 years old, you should have a month."

Wang: "That's enough. However, I have another idea now."

When Elizabeth heard him say "I have another idea", she had a look of "I knew it would come" on her face.

Bernal looked at Wang suspiciously: "Didn't you give up?"

"Yes, but I can ask my teacher. He likes puzzles very much."
