At the same time that the three young men and a familiar moved towards the second prince's study, the mage from the Duke's family opened the door and came out.
He was going to get something for the Duke, but this did not prevent a maid from quietly coming to him and whispering a few words.
The archmage frowned: "Are you sure? You're not bluffing?"
"I'm sure he doesn't seem to be good at lying at all," the maid whispered.
The archmage muttered: "So if you take that bag, or harm the owner of the bag, an entire demon army and an angry legendary mage will cross over in 30 seconds?"
"It should be."
"Sir, Lancelot, thank you for hearing me. Don't leak this news. Let's see which idiot will get into trouble."
"The maids all heard it. I think this will be known to the whole city soon."
"That's it, then I have to be careful not to be blamed by others. The poor apprentice, he probably thinks that leaking this information can protect his own safety. He underestimates the cunning and courage of human beings."

Wang didn't know this. He had just entered Prince Bruce's study, then pointed to the cat on the desk and said: "Oh, isn't there a druid? We just need a druid to identify the strange corpses found underground.
"
The cat yawned, then jumped up, changing into a human form while flying down the table: "How do you know I am a druid?"
"He is a mage from the prophecy school." The princess answered on behalf of the king.
Wang: "No, this has nothing to do with my school of thought, but through logic. Now that summer is coming, it is exactly the time when long-haired cats start to shed their hair, but your brother has no cat hair on his body, and there is no cat hair in the room."
The druid applauded - or at least seemed convinced - applauded.
Prince Bruce sat behind the desk, picked up the quill on the table, and turned it around in his hand while asking: "So, why do you need to find a place where no one can eavesdrop? My men and my sister's men don't
Same, they are very capable.”
Druid: "I'll go outside and monitor."
After saying that, the druid turned into a bat and flew away from the window.
Elizabeth asked her second brother in a provocative tone: "You just let him go like this? Are you afraid that I will send you away with a scorching ray?"
Bruce laughed loudly: "If you were the eldest brother, I would definitely not let Cassander leave. But you won't, my dear sister, you are just a little girl who loves to play. So tell me, your magic
What did Chong just do, mage."
Wang nodded: "I was about to say. I let my magic pet stay on the gargoyle sculpture on the eaves outside your father's window. The hearing of crows is much sharper than that of humans, and some anti-eavesdropping methods aimed at humans are useless against crows."
He turned to his familiar and asked, "What did you hear?"
"Nelenis's ring! Looking for Nerenis's ring!" The crow clucked again after saying it.
Wang: "Sure enough, it's the ring of the guy who tried to activate the giant golem in the First Age..."
"Wait a minute, is this the case?" Bruce looked at the mage with a half-smile, "Is it just this?"
"It looks like the prince knows about it."
"Of course I know." Bruce looked at the mage. "The Archaeological Society found documents that said this ring was sold by a businessman on Shield Road to Langdon City, which was a naturally formed merchant settlement at that time, and then lost its whereabouts."
After the words fell, the king's familiar spoke again: "Cemetery! Cemetery!"
Bruce frowned: "They said the ring was in the cemetery? This is information I don't know."
The demon pet continued to shout: "Belong!"
Bruce was speechless: "I guess my father will insist that the ring is our property. And the clues found by the Archaeological Association, the palace archmage came in person, the empire probably believes that this is an empire treasure. More specifically, it is Shi Shi who currently holds the crown.
The property of your family."
The princess looked back and forth between Wang and Bruce, then interjected: "So the ring has been found?"
"I don't think so. It's just confirmed that it may be a burial object of one of our ancestors. The old fox is not sure that the ring belongs to us, so he will not easily allow the Archmage to enter the family cemetery. This information is very valuable, Mage." The second prince looked at it.
He glanced at his sister and said this.
Wang: "What can that ring do?"
Bruce: "The Archaeological Society believes that the ring can drive the remains of the golem."
King: "You mean, that huge thing standing on the territory of the river kingdoms? If it moved, it might destroy the entire river kingdoms, but that thing should have been completely damaged."
The second prince shrugged: "After all, it is a legendary item. Even if it has no use and can only be placed in the audience hall at the main entrance of the Duke's castle for decoration, the old fox will still want to take it as his own."
Wang: "You can also claim that this ancient object is a symbol of the legitimacy of the Langdon family's power, effectively increasing the family's authority."
Bruce looked at the mage: "You are right. Is this what your teacher taught you?"
"The book taught me."
Bruce turned to his sister and said, "You are a nerd. I really envy you, sister. All my people are very smart, and I have to beware of them stabbing me behind my back at any time."
Wang: "In fact, I was stabbed today. So let's quickly discuss the plan to use the spy Mark's body to fish out the mastermind behind the scenes."
The second prince shook his head: "You want to release the news, saying that we are going to use the resurrection scroll that the old man pressed at the bottom of the box, right? This strategy is actually not feasible. I just want to have a chat with you."
"Why do you say it's not operable?" Wang asked persistently.
"Because everyone in the city knows that the old guy prepared that scroll in order to resurrect himself when he was unfortunately killed. The scroll has always been in the hands of his most loyal old butler." Bruce said.
Elizabeth: "Uncle Merlin, Lady Mellie's husband."
Wang: "That's it, Merlin and Mellie, men and women with the same surname have different word forms. They are a Solace couple. As expected of Cosania, the central thoroughfare of the continent, with both the desert nation Catalans and
There are also Solace people from the land of ice and snow.”
Bruce: "If it weren't for the land of thoroughfares, the Mountain Kingdom hundreds of years ago wouldn't have gone to such trouble to build a shield road."
Shield Road, a road through the mountains of the world created by the Mountain Kingdom, is composed of countless underground tunnels and stone roads that wind between the mountains. When the Mountain Kingdom was at its strongest, many fortresses were built on the Shield Road, and they were
Collectively known as Shield Fortress.
However, most of the fortresses are now abandoned, and crossing the Shield Road has become a high-risk, high-yield affair. Heavily armed caravans still ply on this ancient road.
Wang: "Then can we persuade this Solace man named Merlin to help us put on a play? After all, the resurrection scroll cannot resurrect people who died of natural causes. I heard that the Duke is not in good health now."
"Yes." Bruce said, "But don't mention this in front of the old fox. As for asking Merlin to act, to be honest, I really don't think anyone will believe it."
Wang: "Wait a minute, I have an idea."
Elizabeth: "You always have an idea."
Wang took out his dimensional bag and took out a super invincible good morning scroll from it.
The seven-colored aura on the scroll made Bruce Langdon lean back in his chair: "Lancero here! What the hell kind of scroll is this?"
Wang: "Give me the scroll to say good morning to my teacher."
"What?" Bruce Langdon narrowed his eyes, as if he suspected that he heard wrongly.
Wang: "Give me a scroll to say good morning to my teacher. After tearing it open, you can ignore the isolation of the plane and establish a sound and visual connection with my teacher."
Bruce asked the same question as everyone else: "Can you only point to your teacher? No one else?"
"No. As you can see, this is a legendary spell, and the effect of the spell is very nonsense. Most people would not think that this scroll is such nonsense."
Bruce suddenly slapped his thigh: "I understand! I know what you are going to do! You are going to lie and claim that this scroll can resurrect the spy named Mark!"
"No, no," Wang shook his head, "Prince, you are not a spell caster and don't understand magic. If you just resurrect a person, you don't need such a powerful spell. And there is no answer to why we don't tear up the scroll immediately. We should do this."
The mage placed the scroll on the table.
"We should claim that this scroll will quickly recreate the important moments that Mark experienced six months before his death.
"But because we are recreating it all at once, we must be prepared, organize enough observers, prepare food and water for the observers, and a place to sleep during the shift. Of course, there are also enough pens and papers for shorthand."
Bruce laughed: "Wonderful, wonderful!"
Wang: "The best part is that there is such a nine-ring legendary magic, and it is really necessary to organize as many observers as possible to record the observed details. And the scroll I just took out, no matter what identification magic, will come out
It contains the conclusion of a nine-ring legendary spell.
"As long as we prepare these step by step and take strict care of Mark's body, it will all look real."
Bruce: "And the fact that you are a disciple of the legendary Archmage will soon spread, adding some authenticity to our plan!"
"More than that!" Wang continued, "The eldest prince is now organizing an underground investigation, which also shows that the Duke has taken this matter seriously. The mastermind behind the scenes will definitely be restless."
