Chapter 17 Is there something wrong with seeking romance in the sewer

The team walked quietly underground for a while, and Her Royal Highness couldn't hold back and said, "Are we going to walk quietly like this all the time?"

Wang: "You still want to sing and dance? Why don't you let the pastor do a tap dance? He is a believer of Kailin, and Kailin will be happy."

"Come on," said the cat-man behind, "that sounds like a whole dwarven front marching underground."

The human swordsman let out a hearty laugh.

Ahead came the curse of the dwarf.

The dwarf advanced by darkvision and held no torch, and for a moment the king could not see where he was.

The advantage of these underground races in the underground darkness is not covered.

The princess looked at the darkness beyond the range of the light technique, and asked nervously, "King, when do you think the enemy will attack?"

"I don't think the enemy will attack." Wang said with certainty.

The princess looked surprised: "Why?"

"Because your head maid publicly supported your actions and even gave you a defensive wristband. I think there is no one in Landon City who doesn't know the destination of the princess' outing. And there must be a lot of eyes on us. "

"Is that why no one came?" the princess was shocked.

"It's not just this. First of all, you should know that our team has a great advantage in the underground. Dwarves, drow, if the attackers are humans, these two are enough for them to drink a pot. So they must ambush us.

"We all know that they are going to attack, how can we ambush?"

The princess nodded again and again: "Understood, I said in the military class that attacking the enemy by surprise."

"The second point. After we were attacked, who would benefit from the attack, regardless of whether you went back or not?"

Facing the king's question, the princess frowned: "Hmm... It seems that no one can benefit? Or, it seems that everyone who has the right to inherit will benefit?"

"That's the problem."

Wang subconsciously switched to the tone of the lecture, and continued: "It seems that everyone has benefited, after all, there is one less competitor, but in fact no one has benefited at all, because you are the lowest successor among all competitors. Yes, it's not your turn if the first two didn't die.

"Your strength is also the worst, you have just established your own lair, and the team that obeys your orders has just taken shape.

"There is even an advantage in keeping you, which can be used to marry other electors.

"You are a beautiful sorceress, attractive to other Electors desperate to get their hands on a trusted spellcaster.

"To put it bluntly, you are still an insignificant but beautiful vase, a tool for marriage."

Elizabeth pouted: "Although it is the truth, but...can you be a little more cautious about my mood?"

"When my teacher taught me political science, he emphasized that a political master should dare to face the cruel reality."

Elizabeth was speechless: "Well, he... is right."

Wang directly pulled back the original topic: "So you see, the income of the attack itself is very low, and the cost is very high if it is not a sneak attack.

"In addition, you were attacked under the watchful eyes of everyone, and to a greater extent, Langdon's authority has been challenged.

"As the orthodox first-in-line heir, Prince Langdon will definitely go all out in the investigation, digging every inch of the ground to dig out the attacker.

"With the big brother as an example, it is impossible for the second child to not act. The end result is that everyone is digging three feet to find the attacker.

"Very insignificant evidence may be regarded as ironclad evidence and then convicted. Under such circumstances, the attacker who originally planned to attack decided to quit, isn't it a matter of course?"

Elizabeth was thoughtful, and nodded slightly while thinking.

Suddenly she said: "It's so funny, you are obviously not good at communication, but you can talk like that!"

"Because tactics have a basic rule: interests. Everyone acts rationally driven by interests," Wang shrugged. "This makes tactics a lot like mathematics. Given conditions, similar results can be deduced. subjects, I am very good at."

Elizabeth frowned: "Does what you just said have anything to do with mathematics?"

Wang: "I said 'like', the basis of mathematics is logic. So is trickery..."

Elizabeth shook her head again and again: "No, no, no, I can't accept it. Two math classes a week is already very uncomfortable for me, and governance becomes math, so I will go crazy... So, we won't be attacked?"

Wang: "That's what I think. After all, as I said at the beginning, there are dwarves and drow in our team, and the advantage of underground combat is too great."

While talking, the two happened to pass by a sewer entrance covered with iron grills, and the sunlight fell obliquely into the sewer, illuminating the mottled stone wall.

Elizabeth suddenly said: "Look, these mosses are hiding from the sun and growing! They are obviously green too."

Wang: "Some of these lichens really don't like direct sunlight."

"That's it..." Elizabeth sighed, "So, we're really going on an outing? If that's the case, why don't I go horseback riding?"

Wang scratched the back of his head and said, "It's not that there is no chance of being attacked."

"Oh?" Elizabeth turned her head excitedly, "Is there?"

"First of all, there are various things hidden underground, and there may be some ancient and evil things that will jump out. Bob said that Langdon collar has never really controlled the ancient underground waterway. This is what you built on the basis of the original ancient sewer.

"Secondly, the Thieves Guild already has a commission to deal with the undead, remember? Marika said it yesterday.

"What's more, the enemy may also have thugs who are good at underground operations. If this thug happens to be a species that likes to attack humans indiscriminately, then it can be perfectly blamed."

Elizabeth was about to laugh, but Wang suddenly said, "But!"

"Don't but!" the princess wailed.

Wang: "But. If the attacker can control some kind of underground creature, is it possible for him to attack a weak and helpless young girl? No, no, no, this kind of power should be reserved for big things."

Elizabeth punched Wang on the shoulder hard: "You went around and came back!"

Wang smiled brightly: "Because I was very serious when I was young, I was often teased by my seniors. They like it like this."

Elizabeth: "Brothers? Tell me the story of your mage's tower. What's it like growing up in the mage's tower?"

Wang scratched his head: "I don't feel much... When I was very young, I would help the teacher's experiment, and was shouted and drank by the talking crow. The crow has become a spirit, which is different from mine. When controlled, it also speaks.

"It can also make sarcastic remarks. When I practiced the mirror image technique for the first time, it said beside me, 'Oh, you are a genius, my lord, your mirror image has directly turned into a girl!'"

Wang imitated the tone of a crow, which made Elizabeth giggle.
