It was already the next day when Elizabeth woke up.
She sat up while rubbing her eyes, and then stared at Marika for a few seconds as if she didn't know her, before her brain finally started functioning.
"Good morning - or good evening? Why are they all magic lights?" Elizabeth stretched and let out a long yawn.
Marika: "Good morning. We are now in the secret room of the Emperor's study in Monrovia."
Elizabeth muttered: "The secret room of the emperor's study? When did this happen? Wait, what about the war? What happened to the orcs? Where are the necromancers?"
Marika: "It's over, and with it the old era of Monrovia."
Elizabeth was full of questions: "I expected the Orc War to be over, so before I fell asleep I thought, maybe when I wake up the Orc problem will be solved by the king. What happened to the old days of Monrovia?
Is the king going to become emperor in the empire?"
Marika: "No. It's just that the Emperor of Monrovia borrowed the king and the tiger skin from the Mage Tower behind him this time to confirm the treason of a group of dukes and wash away all their titles."
Elizabeth's eyes widened: "All washed?"
"Yes, I washed them all." Marika nodded.
Elizabeth, who is also a child of a duke family, exclaimed: "Then there will be a civil war in Monrovia soon. Other nobles will not watch the emperor take away their power like this."
Marika: "Maybe in the future, but the emperor has the support of all the big businessmen and shadow thieves, and some nobles have joined the emperor's side. For example, the Border Count of Bradford, whom we met once before."
Elizabeth was stunned: "Does he still have a role in this? I thought I would never hear his name again."
"He married his daughter to a big businessman as a bridge between the nobles and businessmen who wanted to reform. From all indications, it seems that he has been planning for a long time."
Elizabeth nodded: "As expected, the local powerful nobles are not fuel-efficient lamps."
"No, the dukes of the empire seem to be a little too economical on fuel. All in all, Monrovia seems to be able to take this opportunity to eliminate the long-standing shortcomings from the founding of the country in one fell swoop. I don't know the details, after all, I have been watching here.
What you just said are just fragments of what they told me after they came back."
Elizabeth: "Have they ever come back from the fight?"
"Well, I'm still spending the night here. After all, there was quite a chaos in the city last night. The search and seizure teams and the standing soldiers of the dukes - oh, now we have to call in the private soldiers, and we are fighting back and forth with the private soldiers.
It is absolutely safe to spend the night here, as long as the door is not opened inside, you will never be able to get in from the outside."
Elizabeth nodded: "Then where are they now?"
"We are watching the movements of the orcs outside the city on the city wall. Do you want to join everyone?"
"Yes, I'm going to meet up." Elizabeth stood up and realized that she was wearing pajamas.
Marika: "I changed them for you. If you want to change clothes, I have them here."
Marika said and took out her dimensional bag.
Elizabeth asked doubtfully: "Why do you also have a dimensional bag?"
"When I killed the spies sent by the emperor, I captured one." Marika replied, "So I can use this dimensional bag to carry some necessities for the two of us when we travel, such as your change of clothes and a spare whale.
Bone sternum and corset.”
Elizabeth stared at the dimensional bag: "Does Wang know you have this dimensional bag?"
"I didn't tell him, but he should understand. After all, his dimensional bag is very powerful, but if we want to use it, we have to pretend it can't be taken out, which is quite inconvenient."
As she spoke, Marika took out a new dress from the dimensional bag.
Marika: "What do you think? This one is perfect for celebrating a victory. It's definitely suitable to wear today."
Elizabeth nodded, then touched her belly with both hands: "My waist is going to suffer again."
"You don't have to worry so much," Marika said, "your waist is very slender without having to be tightened."
Elizabeth recalled Nini's waist for a moment, and then Rosalie's waist - well, this actually wasn't a threat, but Nini's thin waist!
Don’t forget that there are also super-sized models with super slim waists!
Elizabeth said resolutely: "Stretch me hard! Tighten until the waist is the smallest size!"
Marika: "I don't want you to faint from suffocation."
"The upper part doesn't need to be so thin, but the belly part must be thin!"
Marika was hesitant to speak, but finally decided to comply with the princess's wishes.
**
Fast forward to time, when Elizabeth climbed onto the city wall, the sun was almost reaching its highest point of the day.
As soon as she reached the city wall, she exclaimed: "How could it be!"
Outside the city walls, thick smoke billowed over the fields of Monrovia.
"Without the suppression of the overlord, the orcs immediately began to plunder." The king's voice came from a distance, "You finally woke up, our Sleeping Beauty Princess. Flint just encouraged me to learn something.
Just like in fairy tales, I’ll kiss you awake.”
Elizabeth looked in the direction of the sound in surprise: "Then did you kiss me?"
Next to her, Marika muttered in a low voice: "How could he kiss me?"
Wang's voice floated from a distance: "I don't think the close contact with the oral mucosa will do anything for your awakening, and you are just exhausted. You will wake up naturally as long as you sleep enough."
Marika: "Let's see."
Elizabeth smiled and walked quickly towards Wang, asking as she walked: "What is the oral mucosa? Uh..."
Her steps suddenly slowed down.
Because she finally noticed Nini's maid outfit next to Wang - a miniskirt version of the maid outfit.
Although this dress has a larger covering area than Nini's original Elf Wear Lin Yi, but for some reason it highlights Nini's beautiful legs.
Elizabeth subconsciously checked her clothes, and then asked: "Why did Nini change into new clothes?"
Wang: "Isn't this dress good? Flint's wife made it from a lich's robe. It can withstand blunt force damage. I thought you had protective wrist guards, so I gave it to Nini."
Flint snorted and said: "She made a mistake, thinking that Nini was Elizabeth, so she made it like this based on her figure. As a result, only Nini can wear it now."
Elizabeth looked at Nini's waist in the maid uniform, then touched herself, and then asked without giving up: "Nini, you... are also wearing a corset, right?"
Nini: "No. Corseting the waist will affect movement. I don't think it's just me, Ms. Zhuoer doesn't wear it either."
Xiaobai lifted up his jacket with both hands, revealing his waist: "I don't wear it either!"
Elizabeth almost lost her balance.
Marika hurriedly supported her, and then whispered: "Didn't you notice just now? The clothes were originally made for you, but the dwarf tailor made a mistake."
Elizabeth: "Oh...it seems so."
She regained her balance and cleared her throat: "So, the orc trouble is solved?"
"I'm not sure if it's solved now." Wang looked outside the city, "The orcs didn't leave, even though their siege equipment was no longer built, their unified command was over, and they immediately started fighting for the plunder target.
But you see, so many orcs on the plains are definitely a problem."
Nini: "The good news is that there are no orcs guarding the ballista position, because all the orcs on the position have gone to plunder, and the Star Chaser can set off now."
The king nodded: "Yes, that's what the elves observed with their own eyes. In fact, there were cargo ships rushing to deliver futures this morning. The orcs may think that the cargo ships can also be robbed, but riding wolves
After chasing for a while, I found that the boat was still running fast, so I gave up."
The current wind direction is suitable for going southward with the current, and the ship can run very fast when the sail is pulled.
Elizabeth was stunned: "That's it."
Her eyes were always glancing at Nini. The elf was already good-looking, but the clothes she wore were very plain and simple. The forest elf's forest clothes showed little except for her thighs, and there was basically nothing that could highlight her beauty.
But this maid costume is different. It is basically designed to highlight the elf's good figure.
Wang noticed that Elizabeth had been looking at Nini and asked, "What's wrong?"
Elizabeth: "What do you think of Nini now? Just...do you want to have sex with her?"
Wang: "I don't want to. It's very strange. I know that her charm has increased after putting on the maid uniform, but I still don't have that desire. After the battle yesterday, my face hit her chest when I landed, but I still didn't have that desire.
An idea.”
Just as Elizabeth was about to speak, the mage announced enthusiastically: "So I think Nini is very likely to become my love partner! But now I don't want to go into business with her."
Elizabeth staggered a step, and it was Marika who supported her from falling to the ground.
At this time, Xiaobai protested loudly: "I object! Isn't this wrong? How can she fall in love if you don't even think about it?"
Wang looked at Xiaobai seriously: "Because my teacher said that love is a noble thing, separated from the existence of low-level taste. Love can make both people better!"
Xiaobai: "Don't say such things that I don't understand! I don't know what makes two people better. Falling in love means having children! If you don't want to fall in love, how can you have children? How can you rely on an eagle to catch one?"
Wang put on his posture: "Don't tarnish my sacred imagination of love!"
"You are the one, don't complicate things for no reason!" Xiaobai also made a slurping sound and entered a fighting state.
At this time Nini said: "If you are a half-elf, wouldn't it be bad for your child's future? You will be discriminated against in both human and elf societies."
Flint: "You are right. It took a lot of effort for my old friend to be recognized and accepted. But if you have children, bring them directly to the Mage Tower. He will receive the best magic education from an early age.
It’s so enviable.”
At this time, Wang also ended the argument with Xiaobai and joined the conversation: "First of all, there should be no precedent for having children in our Mage Tower. After all, everyone is so busy, so having children is not as important as exploring the world.
"Secondly, because there is no precedent for childbirth, our Mage Tower did not start from childhood..."
Wang touched his chin: "Wait a minute, it seems there is, that is me. I have been in the Mage Tower since I was a child. In other words, that child may be like me? Isn't this a very bad thing?
"
Marika: "You know it yourself?"
Wang: "Of course I know. No one in the Master Tower has been stuck on the third ring for eight years like me. The third ring is a hurdle, and those who can get up to the sixth ring can usually reach the sixth ring very quickly. Other brothers and sisters wasted eight years on the second ring.
Ten years is quite common.”
Elizabeth interrupted Wang: "Children are not important now. We have no reason to stay in Monrovia, right? When will we set sail?"
Wang: "We can set sail at any time. But you see, we have just helped Monrovia solve such a big problem, wouldn't it be inappropriate not to collect some equipment? The religious sect we have to deal with is very strong and does not have powerful equipment.
With the support we have, with our current highest level of spellcasting ability of the fourth level, there is no chance!"
The rest of the rescue team looked at him with "As expected of you" expressions.
At this moment, a tired but excited voice came from the stairs where Elizabeth had just come up: "Of course you will get a suitable reward. This is not only a thank you for your contribution in this battle, Monrovi
Ya is also willing to do her part to save the world."
Everyone followed the sound and happened to see Emperor Bernard with a group of princes and princesses, as well as his old and new confidants - the old one was the clover knight Duke of Connaught, and the new one was the smuggling king Rhett - now Duke Butler.
Of course, there is the Border Count of Bradford, who now also wears the ribbon and medals representing the dukedom, and beside him is Earl Williams.
Although Williams, who contributed a lot, was only an earl, his wife was the daughter of a duke.
And in the future Monrovia, titles will definitely not be as useful as before. The emperor is already considering establishing a three-level parliament composed of nobles, temple forces and merchants and citizens. This parliament will include the paladins of Typhon and Mel IX.
Students of Master Huan came to supervise its operation.
Elizabeth looked at Bradford Borderer: "To be honest, I want to apologize for my previous rudeness. I didn't expect you to be such a far-sighted nobleman."
"What a foresight," the former border officer laughed, "I just seized the opportunity at the right time."
Emperor Bernal cleared his throat and once again took control of the conversation.
Bernal: "We are planning a big victory celebration tomorrow."
Elizabeth pointed to the burning earth outside: "Are you sure? The orcs even set the crops on the plains on fire. At this time..."
Wang: "Only at this time would a grand celebration be held to distract the attention of the residents."
Marika: "Whenever this happens, Wang will appear to be very understanding of the ways of the world."
Wang: "It's just about the art of war and media. Countless great masters in history have summed up the correct response at this time. I just memorized it better."
Bernal laughed loudly: "I find that I understand more and more Bruce Langdon who wants to keep you as prime minister. But you probably don't care about a prime minister position."
Wang: "Indeed."
Bernal: "The things I will present to you at tomorrow's ceremony have been decided. You can go to our treasure house today to find what you like. In addition, after killing so many dukes, a total of three resurrections have been collected.
I can give you all the scrolls."
Wang: "Only three?"
Bernal: "Three perfect resurrections. As for the imperfect resurrection, your priest should have it when he reaches the next level, right?"
There is a magic spell in the Priest's Fifth Ring called "Resurrection of the Dead". Looking at the name, one might think that it is a magic spell for creating living dead such as zombies. In fact, the effect is similar.
If the corpse of a person resurrected by this spell is rotten or otherwise, the rot will remain, and the skin color will be that of a dead person, making him look very much like a zombie.
The person who is cured by this spell must first use the restoration spell to repair the rotten position, then replenish his vitality, and finally nurse himself back to health for a month or two before he can return to a radiant living person.
After hearing the emperor's words, Flint immediately complained: "Don't be like this, that iron cock of Kailin, I don't know when he will give me the five rings."
Wang: "You can try throwing yourself out of the armor again."
"Never speak of this again, ever!"
Bernal: "Anyway, go to the treasure house to pick out equipment. Rosalie, you lead the way."
Rosalie held up the hem of her skirt with both hands, saluted her father, then turned around and smiled at Wang.
**
Monrovia's treasure house looks even more lavish than Langdon City's.
Moreover, there are no gold coins in this treasure house, which may look eye-catching but are actually not that important.
King: “Where are the gold coins?”
Rosalie: "Of course they are all at the Royal Mint. Don't worry, when you set off tomorrow, the major chambers of commerce will definitely provide a lot of futures coupons and money orders. These can be used as money in the entire Mashunya River Basin.
.
"There is no need for gold coins, because when you go to a new place, you have to exchange them for their gold coins to be useful. Monrovia's gold coins are not circulated locally. Ordinary people will think that Monrovia's gold coins are counterfeit when they see them. Even if they
I think it’s true, but I don’t know how much gold this gold coin can hold.”
Wang: "I have read in books that this is called the budding of the early financial industry! So who can handle these affairs? I'm not familiar with it!"
"Me!" said Elizabeth and Rosalie together.
Then the two of them looked at each other, and crackling lightning flashed between their eyes.
Wang didn't care at all: "Then you all come together! Anyway, one of your professions is to emit scorching rays, and the other is to wash clothes. The two accountants can guarantee that they can be rotated."
Wang continued to wander around the treasure house, when he suddenly noticed a row of dimensional bags on a shelf.
"Hey!" He greeted everyone, "Do you like this dimensional bag? I gave you my dimensional bag, you can only pretend but not take it. Marika's dimensional bag made me realize that each of you must have your own
Dimensional bag!”
Flint nodded immediately: "Okay! This way I don't have to ask the mage brother for a pipe and tobacco every time I want to smoke."
Rosalie: "Then one for each person?"
Wang: "No, there may be others joining the team in the future. I want to turn this into a bonus for joining the team. Gotrek, take them all!"
Because dimensional bags cannot be placed inside dimensional bags, these dimensional bags still need to be carried by one person.
Gotrek took out a bag he got from somewhere and put all the dimensional bags into his pocket at once.
Rosalie was stunned: "Are you here to rob?"
King: "What are we doing? We are saving the world! You Monrovians don't donate generously to save the world. There is something wrong with you!"
Rosalie shut up.
The king discovered another good thing: "Wait a minute! Here is a piece of leather armor for strong men! Gotrick, don't run around naked without armor anymore, try this!"
Barbarians can wear armor, but they don't like to wear it. Real tough men just wear a crotch cloth.
Therefore, Gotrek was also the one with the most injuries in the team, and he was the biggest consumer of healing spells on the team.
Facing the king's order, although Manzi looked unhappy, he still came over and put on the leather armor.
Wang Daxi: "Very good, great! If this leather armor is based on the quantitative analysis standards of our Mage Tower, it will be at least +2."
Gotrick looked at the leather armor on his body and shouted: "Hot!"
Wang: "It's better than you consuming so many healing spells. Wear it. Let's see what other equipment you have -"
Rosalie: "There is a very good magic armor."
"Where?" Wang asked excitedly.
Rosalie led him into the innermost room without saying a word.
The king frowned after seeing the armor: "Full body armor? No one in our team can wear it! Gotrick, will you try this?"
After he finished speaking, he took a look at Manzi's physique and rejected the idea: "Forget it, you can't fit it in."
Rosalie: "This is the armor of the founding emperor Myhrvold. It is said that it successfully resisted the attacks of various monsters that occupied Minos."
Wang: "Okay, I know it's very strong. Let's hold it first."
"No one can wear it and you take it?" Rosalie exclaimed.
King: "In the future we may have a paladin who can wear it."
Rosalie: "With your team configuration, do you want to add a paladin?"
Wang: "What's the point? It's just that it's more difficult for Drow to deal with."
Rosalie held her forehead.
The king looked at her eagerly. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something good, so he circled around Rosalie.
Wang: "I can take it and wear it for you!"
"Me?" Rosalie exclaimed again, "What am I wearing?"
King: "Attract firepower. Since this armor is so powerful, it will definitely help you survive. And, you see, this armor comes from Myhrvold, and you are also a Myhrvold, so that makes sense! Gotrick, get the armor! Help!"
