Bruce Langdon is a smart man. He and Wang discussed it for a quarter of an hour and already wrote a long list of items on the memo.
Elizabeth watched the discussion between the two and tried to interrupt several times, but was blocked every time.
Finally, Bruce Langdon put down his quill and looked at the memo on the table: "Well, that's about it. If you follow this, you should be able to create a perfect performance."
As he spoke, he picked up the memo and handed it to the mage.
The mage took it and glanced at it quickly before handing it to Elizabeth.
While Elizabeth was reading the memo, Bruce stood up and left the position, taking out wine and glasses from the wine cabinet next to him: "Come, let's have a drink to celebrate this memorable cooperation. This is sherry imported from Monrovia.
"
Wang took the wine glass and took a sip without hesitation.
Bruce watched from the side and suddenly asked: "Can a prophecy mage feel that this wine is not poisoned?"
Elizabeth put down the memo and said quickly: "He can take defensive action before the wanderer in my family puts the dagger to his throat."
"Your drow?" Bruce raised his eyebrows, "I want to recruit him to my camp."
After speaking, Bruce took a sip of wine.
Elizabeth then picked up the last cup Bruce placed on the table and took a sip.
Bruce: "Cheers!"
Wang also raised his wine glass: "Cheers."
Elizabeth just raised her glass slightly in response.
After drinking, Bruce picked up the memo, took out the tinder for lighting the candle from the drawer, polished the flame, lit the memo, and then threw it into the fireplace that was not burning.
After doing this, he turned to the king and said: "Then let's get started. First is your task."
Wang nodded: "I know. I just hold this scroll like this..."
He grabbed the scroll that released the colorful magic aura and held it in front of his chest: "I'll just hold this..."
"No, no, no, you can't take it. Elizabeth, who is your most trusted maid?"
Elizabeth: "I don't trust any maid except Lady Mellie."
"Really? It's okay to let Mrs. Mei Li come and get it. In short, you can't do it yourself as a mage. You have to choose someone who will never tear the scroll apart." After saying that, the second prince came to the door of the study and opened the door.
Someone shouted from outside, "Cassander, leave the guard to Kellerman. Go and send an order for Mrs. Melly to put down all the work she is doing and come to me with 20 maids."
Wang: "So, Your Highness Bruce, you have your own thugs standing guard in your study at all times, right?"
"Careful sailing." The second prince shrugged, "Unlike my sister, I am loved by everyone and harmless to both humans and animals. Forget about these things, we have to prepare for the performance before Mrs. Mei Li comes.
It must be realistic. Otherwise, Mrs. Mei Li will definitely see it with her sophisticated eyes."
The mage and the princess looked at each other, then nodded together: "We are ready."
After a while, Mrs. Meili came with twenty maids.
As soon as she entered the door, Elizabeth said seriously: "Aunt Mei, you are here. We have a very important matter now. We have to choose an open space in the castle... uh, please tell me, the king."
Wang’s solemn interface: “An open space that can accommodate roughly two hundred people. There need to be enough tables in this space. We also need a hundred observers, a hundred stenographers, and enough to take care of these people within a week.
Servants, plenty of food and utensils.”
Mrs. Mei Li frowned slightly: "Such a big battle? What are you going to do?"
Wang: "We are going to use a scroll. The spells in it can trace the important moments of Mark, the spy, in the past six months.
"But the trouble with this spell is that it will present a bunch of irrelevant content, and the information we need will be mixed in with this content. Someone has to jot down all the content and then screen it carefully."
Mrs. Mei Li looked at Her Royal Highness the Princess, then at the Second Prince, and then nodded: "Understood, we will do our best to cooperate with your actions. However, it will take some time to find so many trustworthy stenographers. Could you please
Do you trust the people at the various chambers of commerce at the port?”
The Lenland River has quite good shipping capabilities. The armed caravans crossing the Shield Road will sell their goods here, and the river merchants will take over and send them to various parts of the mainland. Therefore, Langdon City has a quite huge port area, just outside the city wall.
Outside, lined up along the Lenland River.
In order to prevent bandits from invading, the Chamber of Commerce in the port area jointly built a low wall to protect the port area. It looks like a tumor growing out of the main wall of Langdon City.
There are a large number of literate residents in the port area, who serve as clerks, transaction recordkeepers, money changers' accounting offices, etc.
If we really talk about the literacy rate, the port area may be a little higher than the main urban area of Langdon City.
Faced with Mrs. Meili's question, Wang pretended to think for a few seconds and said: "You can invite them, but you have to find someone with a guarantee. And you have to cross-check to make sure that no one has concealed the facts. In this case, the total number of stenographers will be
If it is doubled, can I leave it to you?"
Mrs. Meili raised her head: "Of course."
"Then take me to find a venue now. It's best to show me all the venues that may be useful. I'll see all the ballrooms, restaurants, and chapels of the castle."
Mrs. Meili saluted: "Please come with me...wait a minute, why do you want me to call 20 maids?"
Elizabeth replied: "As soon as we find the place, we will start to transform it into the state we need. My father already knows about this matter, and it is extremely urgent. You also know that I am in danger underground, and someone is going to be detrimental to Langdon."
Mrs. Mei Li nodded seriously: "I understand. Just call us."
Wang picked up the scroll, came to Mrs. Mei Li, grabbed her hand and raised it to chest height, and then put the scroll on it: "Please take this scroll. This is a very precious scroll, and I only have one. Survey the scene
When it comes, I have to use the magic light emitted from it as a target at any time. You have to maintain this height and not move."
Mrs. Mei Li raised her head proudly: "Don't worry. Leave it to me."
Wang made a gesture of invitation: "Lead the way, Mrs. Mei Li."
Elizabeth said the agreed lines: "I have other things to discuss with my brother, so I will leave the survey to you, Wang."
Wang turned around and gave a thumbs up.
Then he left with Mrs. Mellie and a group of maids.
When only the brother and sister were left in the room, Bruce teased: "He actually put you here with me so confidently. What will happen to him if I turn into a parricide beast now?"
"I think he must have expected that you would not do anything at all." Elizabeth was unmoved.
Bruce smiled slightly: "You trust him very much. But yes, the drow elves are experienced, but they don't care about things other than protecting your safety. The cat person - called Misha Sarah? The cat person likes you very much, but only
Treat you like a little girl and a warrior...
"I used to think he was your licking dog, but it turned out he was a spy. And Barbarian, hum, Barbarian has no intelligence at all. You finally got someone who will listen to your appeal seriously and use his excellent wisdom to achieve your goals.
Yes, although this person is a bit crazy.
"What a pity, my sister. If he were in my team, I would let his wisdom be used to its maximum extent. He might be able to become the Prime Minister of the Empire!"
Elizabeth shook her head gently: "My dear second brother, you haven't won the title of heir yet. Isn't it a little early to consider competing for the emperor of the empire now?"
Bruce sighed: "Sister, you don't know that there have been multiple reports of cavalry raids on the border between us and the Steyr Territory. They are probably His Majesty the Emperor's reconnaissance force."
Elizabeth frowned: "What?"
"That's it. The Steyr family doesn't want to lose the imperial crown. Six of the twelve electors support us. This is the result of my father's decades of operation. That old fox wanted to wear the imperial crown a long time ago.
Okay. This time around the Nelenis ring, maybe it’s fake from beginning to end.”
Elizabeth's face turned pale: "You mean, the emperor is planning to use this to attack us?"
"Isn't it obvious? The old fox did not distribute the benefits on an equal footing, so when he dies, there will be chaos in the territory. Unless he sends me to Lancelot's temple to become a paladin, marries you, and leaves only my brother."
Elizabeth seemed to be amused by Bruce: "You are still a paladin."
Bruce: "Actually, monks are fine, as long as they don't have the right to inherit. My sister, if I were you, I would leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Langdon has been at peace for sixty years, and it's almost time to start a war.
"
Elizabeth: "You forgot, I still have a world-ending crisis to deal with."
Bruce laughed heartily: "Yes, you still have a world-ending crisis to deal with."
