After the New Star Chaser set sail, Wang went directly into the captain's cabin.
Mainly because this oversized captain's cabin was still new to him, so he didn't bother to look at the riverside scenery and went straight down.
The rest of the squad seemed to have the same idea.
Now the entire team, plus the laundress, are all in the captain's cabin that has been magically transformed by space folding.
Rosalie, who was wearing a maid uniform, and Nini, who was also wearing a maid uniform, were adjusting a screen. There were several screens placed next to them.
Wang: "What does this screen mean?"
Rosalie: "Men and women live in the same space. Isn't it inconvenient without a screen? Girls need to be covered when changing clothes or something, right?"
Wang seemed to have just thought of this question: "What you said makes sense."
Rosalie: "Actually, some people might wish it were better without a screen."
As she spoke, she looked at Elizabeth.
"I also hope there is a screen!" Elizabeth argued quickly, "otherwise, wouldn't it be terrible to appear in front of the king without dressing up?"
Rosalie laughed.
Wang touched his chin and asked doubtfully: "By dressing up, do you mean wearing a corset and chest brace? If so, I think it doesn't matter if you don't have it. You see, Nini doesn't have these equipment. She just wraps her chest before fighting.
"
The ladies in the room were divided into two groups regarding Wang's statement.
Xiaobai and Nini didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, because they didn't wear makeup or dress up at all. Like Xiaobai, if she had a plucked wild flower on her head, it would be called carefully dressed.
Rosalie, Malika and Elizabeth looked at Wang with expressions of "What are you talking about?"
Flint, who was married, was filling his pipe and teasingly said: "Brother Mage, you need to improve your understanding of girls."
He glanced at Xiaobai and the elf, and added: "I mean, we need to strengthen our understanding of human girls."
The mage scratched his head.
"Forget it," he said, "let's study the flags captured from the orcs."
Flint: "I'm sorry, I forgot that we seized this thing. Take it out and take a look."
Wang took out the infinite dimension bag, took out the kraft tube containing the flag, and sat down at the desk with the kraft paper.
"Knife, let me open the sealing wax." He said and stretched out his hand to Marika.
Marika took out her dagger and put it in his palm: "Don't you want me to help you open it?"
Wang: "No, I've long been proficient at it in the Mage Tower. My teacher, the thief, likes to ask me to sort out his scrolls and magic books. I'm very good at opening wax like this."
Nini stood on Wang's left side, watching him remove the wax from the cowhide tube, and commented: "He is indeed quite skillful."
"Right." Wang said proudly.
Seeing this, Rosalie stood on the right side of the king, forming a protective posture with Nini.
Only then did Elizabeth react, but there was no place to stand. She hesitated and stood behind the king, facing the back of the king's head through the back of the chair.
Wang finally opened the cowhide tube and took out the flag inside.
"It looks like it's just a flag made of linen. The fabric is very ordinary. It may have been dyed red with ocher pigment."
Xiaobai lay on the table and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Wang continued to explain: "The red pigment in the human world has been improved many times, using things like lead red and cinnabar, so it can have a brighter color. This flag is made of ocher extract.
It is iron oxide, so the color looks very dark..."
Xiaobai: "Why do you make it more complicated? Can you explain it in a way that I can understand?"
Wang: "In short, this thing is very much like a beast product."
Flint: "That's it. It's very likely that it's not an artifact and has no special effects."
Wang: "Not necessarily. The orcs have shamans and witch doctors. They have a set of magic based on spirits, and they may also generate artifacts. Maybe this one is something that can command spirits!"
Xiaobai: "Is it? Did you see the spirit?"
"No." Wang shrugged, "I just said there is such a possibility, but now I have not found any traces of magic on this thing." He said that he wanted to spread the flag on the desk and study it carefully, then stood up.
——
This movement of standing up was so sudden that Rosalie couldn't dodge, so she was brushed by Wang's shoulder.
Rosalie exclaimed softly.
Wang glanced at her doubtfully. She was so focused that she didn't feel the rub on her shoulder.
The mage then continued to study the patterns on the flag.
Xiaobai looked at Rosalie, as if he wanted to tease her, but obviously in the end Xiaobai chose not to interrupt the mage's thinking.
Elizabeth said to Rosalie with lip language: "Tell you not to get so close!"
Rosalie also turned into a lip reader: "Where are you shouting? Someone is crying because they can't get a seat."
Nini looked back and forth between the two of them in confusion.
Wang was completely unaware of this and just studied the pattern for ten minutes.
Finally, he sat down and sighed: "I don't recognize this pattern. In my impression, there should be no orc tribe using this pattern as a symbol, and my teacher's diary did not mention such a pattern. This should be the reason why my teacher left this place.
Something that only appeared after the plane."
Flint: "That is to say, this is something that only appeared in the past few hundred years. But it is recognized by the orcs."
Wang: "Yes, this is the strange place. I think it would be interesting to explore why orcs like this thing. Map!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at the giant sand table that occupied the largest space in the huge captain's cabin.
Xiaobai: "This sandbox is so fun. Turning into a beetle and crawling on it feels like walking all over the earth."
Flint: "That's how you can play it. Even if we use the shrinking technique, we can't shrink it that small."
The king had already arrived at the edge of the sand table. He looked at the next path and shook his head: "No, there are no orc settlements along our way. There used to be desert orcs in Catalonia, but they were destroyed by the hero of Catalan."
.It seems that we have no chance to solve the mystery of this flag."
Elizabeth reassured: "Looking at the bright side, maybe the rescue mission will be completed by Yi Songzuo? Then we can accompany you on a trip to the wasteland to explore the secret of the orc flag."
Flint: "Agree! If the journey of saving the world ends when we arrive at Yisonzo, then this journey of saving the world is too short, and it ends before we have even enjoyed it."
Nini: "I also want to continue learning magic from my teacher. Now I have just mastered the first flash trick, but for me this is already a huge progress from 0 to 1."
Drow Elf Marika glanced at her theoretical rival, the forest elf, and teased: "Your way of thinking is becoming more and more like your teacher. This is also a step from 0 to 1."
Wang: "Isn't this a good thing?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.
Nini broke the silence: "Yes, this is a good thing."
Xiaobai: "It's over, the great cleverness will have a great cleverness number two."
Nini: "No, I think I should be more flexible than the teacher."
Wang: “I think I’m also very adaptable.”
Silence fell again.
Rosalie smoothed things over and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this problem. Let's take a look at the following itinerary. With a favorable wind, it will take us three days to leave Monrovia, and then we-"
Her finger landed on a very obvious landmark on the sand table.
Those are two huge human sculptures.
King: "The Morado Valley Arch was built with the remains of two golems left over from the Nelenis Rebellion in the First Age."
Elizabeth opened her mouth wide: "Oh! I remember this. In Langdon City, the emperor's archmage came to us using the excuse of looking for Nelenis' ring."
King: "Yes, I told you at that time that the remains of two of the five demons that Nelenis wanted to activate were changed by the Human Empire of the Second Age into the starting point of the national border. Those two
seat.
"In the Second Age, the border of the human empire was right here. At that time, the plains of Monrovia were all the territory of various monsters and non-human races."
Rosalie: "It seems that the scope of human activities has been expanding."
Flint: "Don't mention this fact. The era of dwarves and elves has passed. Next is the era of your short-lived species. Whether it is orcs or humans depends on the outcome of your fight."
Xiaobai stared at the two stone statues for a few seconds and suddenly asked: "So is it possible for these two demon statues to move now?"
Wang: "It will be very troublesome if they move. These two golems are originally colonization machines from other planes. They will destroy all the creatures in our plane and then start to reproduce."
Xiaobai was shocked: "Reproduction - does it mean giving birth to children? Can golems still have children?"
Wang: "Of course, these golems are divided into male and female. I just don't know whether these two are male or female."
Xiaobai looked at the king and then at the golems on the map: "It's so interesting! Can you make them move? I'll see how they reproduce."
King: "Then they will destroy you first. Moreover, these two golems should have been completely destroyed. In the first era, Nelenis's ritual was destroyed by the adventurers at that time. The golems were not fully activated and their combat effectiveness was insufficient."
Complete, it was destroyed by adventurers.
"When the human empire of the Second Age made them into gatekeeper statues, they also completely reconstructed the structure inside. They couldn't move them no matter what."
Flint burst out laughing.
Wang: "Why are you laughing?"
"I just think that according to the rhythm of ordinary adventure poems, if you say this, they will definitely move. Fortunately, we are not in a certain adventure poem."
Wang scratched his head: "But we will definitely become the protagonists of adventure poems in the future... They - they won't move, maybe... How about when we pass by these two, stop and look up to make sure they won't move.
"
Everyone looked at each other.
Xiaobai: "I think we'll find a puzzle up there!"
Wang: "If there is any, let me explain it by the way. It is always good to get equipment to increase our strength. After all, when we get to Yi Songzuo, we may have to face the cult directly."
