When entering the duke's study and reception room, Wang stopped and looked up to observe the ceiling and beams of the study.
He ignored the Duke who was already sitting behind the desk, and the two princes on either side. Of course, he also ignored the old men with white beards sitting on several sofas in front of the desk.
"The magic traps in this place are pretty good," he said.
"Not bad?" the fat mage sitting on the sofa opposite the Duke's desk said angrily, "This is my handiwork!"
Wang looked at the mage and asked doubtfully: "So? It means you are a bad mage."
The mage was so angry that he blew his beard, and the peacock feathers on his hat kept trembling.
The king ignored the other party's expression and observed the other party's clothes: "This dress is the style of the Catalan desert kingdom. You really have traveled a long distance to come here. You have been an advisor to the Duke for a long time.
Is it done?"
The fat mage was stunned, and his lips trembled for a few seconds before roaring: "I am the court mage of the Kuosanian Empire!"
Wang: "Oh."
The archmage was stunned, and the feathers on his head showed that he was so angry that his body was shaking. Perhaps he had never encountered such a mage apprentice who would not care after hearing his title.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to use the Banshee's Wail now! You just have to die!"
Wang looked at him and blinked.
The palace mage stood up and pointed at the king with his finger, and at the same time fumbled in the spell-casting material bag: "I want to use it!"
Wang: "The information I got is that you can only cast eight-level spells. Banshee's Wail is nine-level."
"I, I have made a breakthrough!"
"Really? Then I have to remind you," the king's expression suddenly became serious, "The Banshee's Wail will first kill the people close to you. So you want to kill the elector of Kuosania.
The Duke of Holland and all his heirs?"
"What?" The Archmage was shocked, "Is...is that so?"
Wang frowned slightly: "You don't know? Ah, I understand, you were bragging just now to intimidate me! In fact, you don't understand the spell Banshee's Wail at all, because you haven't read the spell book that records this spell.
I’ve never seen a scroll.”
Archmage: "You...you are talking nonsense! How can you, a mage apprentice, know such a legendary spell! I have read the book!"
Wang: "It's no use just reading books. You can't learn legendary magic just by reading books. You must have the knowledge and experience to understand it. Of course, you must also have the strength to support it. (*)"
"Hmph, what do you, an apprentice mage, know?"
King: "I know all the spells well, including the ones I can't cast..."
"Ahem." Elizabeth suddenly spoke to stop Wang from revealing that he could not use the protective system.
Wang understood immediately: "Oh, I understand. Anyway, I am familiar with all the spells."
"Bragging! How can you be familiar with legendary spells!"
"Of course I am familiar with it, but there is still a gap between familiarity and true understanding, so I have to leave the Mage Tower for a trip."
"Hmph! It's just a mage tower in the countryside. I'd like to know what your teacher's name is!" As he spoke, the archmage sat back on the sofa, assuming a superior posture.
Wang said the teacher's name.
Everyone present widened their eyes, and even the court mage who had always been hostile to the king forgot his suspicion for a moment. After all, for them, this was the moment when the legend came into reality.
But the Archmage still reacted: "Impossible! He had already left his plane to travel the multiverse before the Kuosanian Empire was established!"
At this time, Elizabeth intervened: "But we met the legendary archmage through the scroll of the spell invented by his teacher."
"It's all an illusion! Her Royal Highness the Princess is also a spellcaster, and she was actually deceived by this kind of charlatanism!" The palace mage was furious, and even started to point at Elizabeth, "It seems that your education is not very good!"
The old man sitting on the sofa in the corner of the room said: "Your Majesty the Archmage, Your Highness the Princess is just a warlock. Like me, of course we are not as smart and wise as you."
It seems that this is the tutor of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Using the elimination method, the old mage with a normal body shape is left as the Duke's original family mage. Remember, the spellcasting ability should be level seven.
The princess seemed to be angry with the palace mage and her teacher. She took a step forward and said, "I can still distinguish this kind of thing! The magic aura on that scroll is so strong that ordinary people can see it. It is definitely a powerful thing.
Magic item!"
Palace Archmage: "The one-ring magic of the illusion system, 'Change the aura', can do this!"
The princess took another step forward and glared at the Archmage aggressively. The aura she exuded made people sigh that she was worthy of being the heir to the position of elector.
King: "Wait a moment, Your Highness, don't be impatient."
"I'm in a hurry!" The princess turned back and glared at the king, "The world is about to be destroyed! Shut up and let me talk! I'm more familiar with the palace!"
Wang: "Reasonable."
Then he really shut up and took a step back.
The one without armor of the two princes spoke: "You found a cat and found out about the crisis of annihilation?"
Wang: "There are also dogs."
Elizabeth turned to stare at him: "Listen, I can accept your casual interjection, but in this formal palace meeting, you are very rude and I will hate you."
Wang looked a little embarrassed. He took a step back and shut his mouth.
The prince without armor laughed loudly: "I see you guys are having a good time, not bad. Now we can marry a legendary mage's mage tower, so what is this world-destroying crisis? Between you two lovers
A little game to play?”
Elizabeth: "It's a real world-ending crisis! The legendary mage told us that the first stage is the disappearance of small animals, and then some small animal distortions will be discovered. In the second stage, cheap healing scrolls and potions will appear on the market. The third stage
Phase undead and lich will begin to gather."
Elizabeth's eldest brother - a strong man wearing armor standing on his father's right hand - frowned: "The first stage is fine, isn't the second stage a good thing? And why does the appearance of cheap healing scrolls lead to the gathering of undead creatures?"
Elizabeth said resolutely: "Because those undead creatures can no longer survive and have begun to gather to eliminate the masterminds behind the scenes!"
The Grand Master of the Court burst into laughter, and everyone else in the room also smiled more or less.
The palace mage opened his hands: "Did you hear that! The undead creatures have begun to fight against evil enemies to save the world! They actually didn't destroy the world together!"
At this time, the old Duke, who had been looking at Elizabeth with kind eyes, spoke: "Elizabeth, you are too whimsical."
The Duke looked much older than the king imagined. Judging from his appearance, he should be Elizabeth who was fifty or even fifty-five years old. I don't know whether to say that he is getting stronger with old age or that he is disrespectful of old age.
The old man continued to ask: "Why do you trust this great mage so much? He may just be a liar who used his name."
Elizabeth: "Because that spell looks legendary! And there is Wang, his disciple. You don't know how well trained he is! When we were adventuring, he could immediately tell what spell the enemy cast by just listening to a few words.
!”
The old man shook his head: "Elizabeth, my dear daughter, this alone cannot convince me. But the mage brother over there has always wanted to talk, so why don't you let him do it."
Elizabeth wanted to stamp her feet, but suddenly glanced at Wang, stopped stamping, and said directly to Wang: "Come and give it a try!"
Wang: "Okay. We were attacked from the front and rear by about 50 goblins and 70, 80 or more kobolds underground. The goblins had hobgoblin war mages, and the kobolds had kobold warlocks. The battle resulted in two people underground.
A fire broke out on the first floor. The situation was urgent and we did not put out the fire...
"I think there are two possible developments of the fire. One is to burn out all the oxygen in the passage and extinguish it. The other is to eventually cause an explosion of methane in the air. It is probably extinguished now that it has not exploded.
"This means that you can find more than 50 corpses of goblins and kobolds in the underground battle scene, as well as traces of spell battles. I think even if we don't consider the crisis of annihilation, there are such a large group of evil creatures underground - oh
, are two groups, and they will cooperate with each other. This may not be a crisis of annihilation, but it is definitely worthy of a crisis in Landon City."
The eldest prince was speechless: "You are right, Mage. Father, I want to organize an army to sweep the underground again, and at the same time hire adventurers. Although I have been running our official chamber of commerce, the chamber of commerce alone can no longer afford such a large enterprise."
If the gold coins are lost, the Chamber of Commerce will go bankrupt."
The old Duke sighed: "Write a note to the butler and he will tell the accountant."
The second prince touched the decorative sword on his waist and looked at his sister's mage with a little interest.
Wang continued: "Second point, we found the body of a mutated cat. I think if the druids look at it, they should be able to prove that this is not a natural mutation, and there must be some unknown evil underground."
The eldest prince: "We don't have time to take care of cats..."
"Let's put things together, Your Highness." The king interrupted the prince, "We went underground because we were looking for cats, and then we were attacked by the combined army of kobolds and goblins. After the attack was repelled, our magic
We were almost exhausted, and our physical strength was almost exhausted, when an elite team suddenly came out. The enemy's eyeliners also jumped back at this time."
The eldest prince silently touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Wang: "You can doubt the annihilation crisis my teacher said, but for Langdon City, this is also a serious crisis that cannot be ignored.
"On top of this, there is another important thing: your precious daughter was almost killed underground."
Elizabeth: "That's true."
Old Duke: "Why didn't you just say this directly, instead of irritating His Excellency the Palace Archmage?"
Archmage: "Still bragging! How could you be that person's disciple? Those were legendary figures from at least two hundred years ago!"
Wang: "Because I am his disciple. I have a simple way to prove this. Although my teacher will not interfere personally, it is okay for me to show off my power."
As he said this, Wang took out the dimensional bag.
