After Wang finished speaking about his clever plan, Bruce applauded again: "Yes, it sounds like a feasible plan. But there is a fatal flaw in this plan. That is, you have already told my father that the goal is to lure the mastermind out.
"
The mage frowned: "Is Duke Langdon's study a sieve? Will all information leak out?"
"No," Bruce shook his head, "If it were just us, I mean, me, you, my sister and my brother, plus an old fox, probably nothing would be leaked. Plus our old servant, probably
It won’t be leaked. But you see, you said it in front of your sister’s teacher and the court mage. So..."
Wang: "In fact, it doesn't matter. The man behind the scenes shouldn't dare to bet that this is a scam. After all, if he really uses magic to review the past, he will be exposed."
Bruce tapped his fingers on the table: "It sounds true, but have you ever thought about a question? There is a court mage in Langdon City now. He can cast eight-ring magic, and our mage can cast seven-ring magic.
And Elizabeth's teacher is a six-ring warlock.
"Who dares to come to the Duke's Palace to cause trouble at this time? This does not include the knights in the military camp that is connected to the Duke's Palace."
The Duke's Palace in Langdon City is actually the inner city of the city defense. It is located on the high ground beside the Lenland River. It is designed to continue to hold on after the outer city is breached.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult for the mastermind behind the scenes to cause trouble in the city.
Bruce looked at Wang who was deep in thought. He was obviously thinking about something, and the quill in his hand was spinning rapidly.
Finally, the second prince made up his mind and asked: "What should you do if you are the mastermind behind the scenes? I mean, suppose he believes that we will use magic to obtain his identity and whereabouts from the dead ghost.
He has to stop us."
Wang stared at the scroll on the table with all his concentration, gently rubbing the dimensional bag with his fingers.
Bruce waited patiently.
Elizabeth looked back and forth between them, her body turning left and right.
Bruce: "My dear sister, you are about to become a top."
Elizabeth then stood still, but she still looked anxious.
Finally, the king spoke: "If I am the mastermind behind this, I will kill the Duke."
Elizabeth shouted directly: "What?"
The king repeated: "I will kill the Duke."
Bruce: "Explain it."
Wang took out the wizard chess pieces from the dimensional bag and "arranged them" on the table: "First of all, this is the Duke. He is currently competing with the palace mage for the ancient ring.
"Secondly, these are the Duke's heirs, three in total. They are wary of each other, preparing to start fighting for the inheritance once the Duke dies.
"You see, after the Duke is dead, the eldest prince cannot pay attention to the problem of the underground kobold and goblin joint army. He has to guard against His Highness the Second Prince.
"The same goes for Your Highness Bruce. Although you are going all out to cooperate with us in the show, once the Duke dies, your attention will definitely not be on it.
"The conflict between the Duke and the Palace Archmage is actually a conflict between the Duke and the current Emperor of Kuosania. I think His Majesty the Emperor will definitely take the opportunity to do something. In this way, the entire Langdon Realm will be in chaos, and all parties will fight.
All the brain matter came out."
Bruce turned his pen while looking at the wizard chess arranged by Wang on the table: "Indeed, if dad dies at this juncture, the pressure on the mastermind behind the scenes will be zero. He can even send out rogues to easily destroy the spies'
Corpse."
Elizabeth: "Why didn't you include me in your analysis? I am also the heir!"
Wang: "Because I think you will continue to investigate with me who is behind this."
Elizabeth was speechless: "This... is indeed true. Well, yes, I am the only one who believes that this is a world-ending crisis. I will investigate this matter with you."
Bruce: "Your conjecture is very reasonable, but... the question is, how did the mastermind make my dad die? Especially when dad still has the resurrection scroll."
Wang spread his hands: "I don't know, I just said this is the best solution. As for whether the mastermind behind the scenes can do it, it is none of my business. None of the other solutions he can take can solve this problem so perfectly.
question.
"If he comes to destroy our ceremony and steal Mark's body, he will be targeted by us. If he eliminates the reconnaissance team sent by the eldest prince, he will provoke an encirclement and suppression by the eldest prince. No matter what he does, he cannot change the power of the entire city of Langdon City.
Start targeting his facts."
Elizabeth: "Do we need to tell father about the king's speculation?"
"No!" Bruce stopped loudly, "No, don't tell anyone, this inference must not be spread out of this study. But we can indeed strengthen the security around father... But, fuck, if we do this, what will happen to the old fox?
He will think that we are going to harm him."
Wang: "Is there any problem in telling the Duke directly?"
"There will be a big problem. The old fox is already wary of his two sons. The food he eats now is cold, and he has to make sure that the poison tester has not died for 24 hours before he eats it." Bruce said.
Wang: "This is too bad. The weather is already hot now, and food left for 24 hours will definitely go bad. Did he use a magic freezer to preserve this food?"
"Yes." Bruce replied.
"That's not possible," the mage shook his head. "Eating cold food directly will not be tolerated by the intestines, especially the intestines of an old man. I guess he must be taking herbal medicine made from a mixture of Duras chrysanthemum and Pralanus japonica."
Bruce glanced at his sister: "You, a mage, also know about herbal medicine? Yes, that's what the old fox is eating. He has a dedicated team of pharmacists responsible for making herbal decoctions, and our brother's chamber of commerce is also purchasing these two kinds in large quantities.
Medicinal materials.”
Elizabeth: "Will the man behind the scenes tamper with this potion? After all, you see... he can use positive energy to turn cats into monsters like that, and it's normal for herbs to turn into other things, isn't it?
"
Wang: "I don't know. I won't speculate without intelligence and evidence. I suggest that we start luring the enemy now and wait for the enemy's reaction before deciding what to do."
Bruce nodded, then he stood up, put his hands on the desk surface, stared at the mage and said: "Wang, I really appreciate your intelligence. This was just a test for you. I am very satisfied with your performance. I have a
I suggest you join us, I have a team that is much more elite than your current team..."
Elizabeth exclaimed: "Bruce! I'm still there!"
"What does this have to do with anything?" Bruce turned to look at his sister, "Rather than playing house with the princess, we here are really prepared to do business. Even if it is to deal with the crisis of annihilation, you should come to our side.
! Otherwise, we will state our advantages to each other, my sister. I think Wang will make a wise choice!"
Wang: "I can see that His Highness Bruce is much stronger than His Highness the Princess. Theoretically speaking, I should indeed change to a different team."
Bruce was overjoyed.
"But," Bruce's expression changed as soon as the word "wang" came out, "Her Highness the Princess and I have become friends. My teacher taught me to treat my friends with sincerity."
Bruce punched the table: "Do you understand? After I become a duke, if you like my sister, she will be yours!"
Wang: "I don't like her."
"You just like her, you fancy her skin..."
"I don't like her. My body likes her skin. Just because my body likes her skin, it proves that I don't like her."
Bruce was stunned and didn't turn around at all: "What the hell are you talking about?"
Elizabeth was also stunned, but she suddenly remembered something and bent over with laughter - and then because she was wearing a very tight corset, she got cramps from laughing and had to hold on to the stove by the wall to gasp for air.
The king stared at the princess's secondary sexual characteristics that were particularly obvious because of her breathing. He stared at them for several seconds before reluctantly looking away, and said to the second prince with a straight face: "Look, this is proof. I don't like your highness the princess."
"
Bruce frowned: "What is this? Isn't this just proof that you want to take her as your own? You want her... hmm?"
Bruce's mouth opened wide because he finally thought of it: "You... just because your teacher said that love is when you see a girl and don't want to sleep with her, but think about... something?"
Wang: "Driving a carriage with her to do business, and seeing thousands of rivers and mountains."
Bruce was speechless.
Wang Ze continued: "Of course I won't take the teacher's words as the only answer. My junior uncle said that he wanted to become a lamb, but I thought I didn't. I don't want to be whipped by Her Royal Highness either."
Elizabeth stopped laughing at first, but when she heard this she started laughing again, and tried to untie her waist while laughing. But when she couldn't take it off, she shouted: "King, come here and help me take off my waist, I can't breathe..."
"
Wang walked over, took out a sharp dagger from the dimensional bag, and cut the waist rope.
The moment the rope broke, the corset exploded with a bang. The flying button hit Bruce on the forehead, and he almost fell backward.
Elizabeth smiled and thanked him, lying on the king's body, patting his shoulders desperately: "You guy... Oh no, I have to change my body. Mellie will go crazy if she sees it... But I can't straighten my waist.
Get up...please let me lie down for a while."
Wang: "No problem."
He looked at Bruce who took out a handkerchief and pressed it on his swollen forehead: "What did you say? Oh yes, the criteria for judging whether you fall in love with a princess. My uncle said that if you fall in love with a woman, you don't dare to look at her face or touch her face.
She would feel like she was electrocuted. But look, I’m like this and I’m still standing still!”
Elizabeth: "Hahahahaha..."
Bruce said angrily: "Just laugh now! There will be times when you will be in trouble in the future!"
Elizabeth: "Indeed... I can probably imagine what will happen in the future. But now I just want to laugh... Hahahahaha... I really, really have never seen this kind of style..."
Wang: "Indeed, I am the teacher's chief disciple after all."
Bruce took deep breaths to calm himself down: "Okay, okay. I didn't expect that I would be rejected today by saying, 'I want to treat my friends with integrity.'"
Wang: "I like the current team very much. The dwarves are very interesting, the drow are reliable, and the barbarians are pretty reliable. The catmen are a bit unpredictable, but they are reliable shooters. I want to take risks with this team. And
You, Your Highness, my feeling tells me that I need to stay away from you."
Bruce: "I thought you were a purely rational animal who would weigh everything with gains and losses."
"Indeed, I like to use logic and reason to judge everything, but I am a prophecy mage, and my intuition cannot be ignored."
Bruce: "Fucking difficult nerd. Okay, let's talk about how to cooperate."
