Chapter 82 Interrogation of the leader of the attackers
Elizabeth looked very guilty: "I'm sorry, I..."
Wang: "Next time I will remember not to count you as combat effectiveness in night encounters."
Elizabeth's face flushed under the light of the dragon-headed scepter: "I will overcome it!"
Wang: "At least you're less likely to be hit by stray arrows when you're lying on the ground. It's less worrying than standing up."
Marika: "You're still talking about our princess. You are against the protection system. Every time we face bows and arrows, we have a huge headache. Obviously we can solve this problem by sharing protective arrows."
Wang defended: "It's not necessarily true. A powerful archer can still penetrate the shared protective arrows."
Elizabeth: "He relies on the invisibility and mirroring techniques so he doesn't have to worry too much."
"Okay," Flint tried to smooth things over, "Isn't this a brutal killing of the enemy? Why are we starting to blame each other? Why don't we prepare more shared protective scrolls when we get to the next big city? I'll tear them up. Anyway, we don't
Lack of money.”
The king looked at the dwarf in surprise: "Aren't you a dwarf? Aren't you very at odds with arcane magic?"
"That's an ordinary dwarf. I'm not an ordinary dwarf. After all, an ordinary dwarf won't become Kaylin's priest." Flint spread his hands.
Marika: "Normal dwarves can't tap dance."
At this time, Xiaobai, who was inspecting the wounded left by the enemy, shouted: "Hey! This man smells like good tobacco, he should be a leader!"
After saying this, Xiaobai sneezed hugely, and then complained loudly: "Wow, this tobacco smells so pungent!"
King: "Bring him here!"
Xiaobai turned into a wolf and picked up the guy lying on the ground. At first, the guy was still insisting on pretending to be dead, but now he was frightened out of his wits: "Don't eat me! I don't taste good! Not only do I smell like tobacco,
I still have body odor, and no amount of spices can cover it up!"
The little white wolf picked up the squeaking hunter and spit it on the ground.
Wang released the glowing scepter, took out the bottle of pepper from the dimensional bag, and gently sprinkled some pepper on the prisoner's head while everyone watched.
The prisoners' screams alarmed the birds within a mile of the square garden.
King: "Say quickly, who sent you here? If you don't tell me, you will get out of the frying pan immediately. Before that, you must open your belly and fill it with spices!"
"I said, I said! It's the 'Duke' of Stoke. He calls himself a Duke now! We don't want to come either. I am the hunting force of the Duke of the River Valley, and I was originally a hunter in the mountains.
"After the mining industry was over, a generation of dukes wanted to make up for the mining losses with furs and other wild products from the mountains, so they stipulated that all mountains and forests belonged to the duke, and those who hunted privately had to confiscate their prey and have them hung up and whipped with twenty salt water whips!
"We had no choice but to work as rangers for the Duke. We usually help the Duke hunt and crack down on poachers."
King: "Stoke sent you here to kill us all?"
"Killing someone other than Princess Langdon, and also 'showing Langdon's girl how good she is' is what Stoker said. We have absolutely no such idea, absolutely not!" the ranger leader vowed.
said.
Wang: "Xiaobai, smell and see."
The little white nose in wolf form came close to the man and sniffed, then he sneezed and a bunch of drool flew onto the guy's face.
The forest ranger had never seen such a big wolf spit on him and urinate after a while.
Xiaobai changed back, blew his nose hard, and shouted for a long time: "He smells of pepper!"
Wang looked down at the pepper in his hand.
Is this a foreshadowing?
The dwarf was still joking: "Is the peppery smell lying or telling the truth?"
The ranger shouted miserably: "It's the truth!"
Marika: "Really?"
The drow put the dagger against the forest ranger's neck: "I am a drow, an evil drow. What I like to do most is to let our druid cast rejuvenation on you, and then do it bit by bit.
Peel off your skin.
"Because of the rejuvenation technique, the newly peeled skin wound will immediately start to grow new skin, and it will be peeled off again when it is half grown. I will do this bit by bit until the effect of the rejuvenation technique is over."
Forester: "Fake, fake! The princess is the most beautiful woman in Kuosania, so we had many wild thoughts on the way here."
Zhuoer snorted: "Then you have to pay the price!"
Elizabeth shouted: "Wait a minute, I can't take away someone's life just because he has wild thoughts about me. Just give him a little punishment to let him know he is wrong!"
Drow's knife had cut off the ranger's leg vein, so the blood flowed out uncontrollably and mixed with the ranger's urine.
She kicked the guy to the ground: "I'm very particular about the incision. He won't die immediately. Let him experience the feeling of brushing against death. Remember, you picked him up because of the princess's generosity and compassion.
Get a life back."
Forester: "I don't dare anymore... Please, please save me... I still have a daughter and wife at home..."
Wang: "Xiao Bai, work with Gotrick to gather the dead rangers together. Such a number may breed undead creatures, and let the priest perform rituals and then burn them."
Xiaobai: "What should I do if there are still some people who are not dead?"
"Wrap a bandage and throw it away. Our healing spells are very precious, but the bandages are enough. The rest depends on their own destiny. After doing this, we will change the camping place. Marika, you have dark vision, go find a new one
Campsite."
Zhuoer nodded, took off the horse's reins from the bushes next to him, got on the horse and disappeared into the night.
Dwarf, Xiaobai and Manzi also got busy, leaving Wang and Elizabeth standing there watching the ranger's life passing by quietly.
Wang: "How do you feel now?"
Elizabeth exclaimed: "What are you doing?"
"Collecting first-hand information is obviously much more cost-effective than experiencing near-death yourself."
The ranger used his hands to cover the veins in his legs in vain: "Devil! You devil!"
Wang: "It's not like I won't heal you. I'll ask the priest to give you healing skills later. This is to punish you for having wild thoughts about the princess. So, how does it feel when life is slowly passing by?"
Forester: "I feel cold."
"Are you cold? This should be caused by blood loss. What next? Do you feel numb in your legs?"
Forester: "Yes... and..."
Wang took out his notebook and quickly recorded what the forest ranger said under the light of the dragon-changing scepter.
Elizabeth looked at the mage with a mixture of strangeness and fear.
When the ranger was finally speechless, the mage finally stopped asking, put away his notebook, took out a bandage and began to bandage him. While bandaging, he called the priest: "Flint, come and treat him."
Flint rushed over quickly and used healing techniques on the dying ranger.
Elizabeth looked at Wang who stood up with satisfaction and said, "At that moment, I always felt you were a bit scary."
Wang: "What's scary? His life was guaranteed, and I also got first-hand information - of course, this information may be false. I have to experience it myself to be sure."
Elizabeth: "Sane to a terrifying degree. Are you completely devoid of compassion?"
"...There should be," Wang said with an uncertain expression, "I think there is."
Elizabeth sighed: "I seem to understand why your teacher threw you out to travel."
The dwarf who was checking the ranger's status stood up and said: "This guy should be able to live well. Thank God the positive energy in this place is normal. I may have to waste a remove disease spell in Langdon."
Xiaobai in the distance shouted: "The dead are piled up!"
Gotrick: "Get up!"
The dwarf pulled out a torch from the unextinguished campfire: "Let Kailin's holy fire burn these poor guys."

Afterwards, everyone rested peacefully in the new camp until early morning.
Wang got up early in the morning and began to memorize spells.
Upon seeing this, the priests and druids also began to pray and meditate on their own.
The barbarian held an ax and stood guard next to the fragile spellcaster, looking around with vigilance.
Elizabeth doesn't need to prepare magic, she is making breakfast for the whole team now.
Marika stood on the tree, holding a short bow instead of her usual dagger. She and the barbarians were guarding the surroundings.
Wang was the first to finish preparing the spell and put away the spell book. Elizabeth seemed to have been waiting for a long time and immediately asked: "The spell book you used is different from yesterday?"
"Yes, this is Erwin's spell book. His spell book contains a lot of very practical magic, and there are mostly low-level magic, and almost no high-level magic. It is very suitable for me to use."
Elizabeth: "There are basically no high rings? Is this normal?"
"If he is a mage from the Arcane Law Federation, that would be abnormal." Wang spread his hands, "This kind of mutual aid organization for mages will share valuable knowledge. Members of the federation exchange points for spells from the federation. Not only that,
They can also borrow spells from a shared spell pool."
Elizabeth: "Borrowing?"
"Yes, for example: you borrowed a fifth-level spell in an emergency. After a few days when you are safe or free, you have to return a fifth-level spell."
Elizabeth: "Isn't the mage of the Arcane Magic Association very difficult to deal with? Because he can use a variety of spells without being restricted by the spells prepared today."
Wang: "Yes. When a teacher with experience in this field shared in the tactics class, he said that when playing against mages from the Arcane Magic Association, you must pay attention to spell recognition."
"Wait a minute!" Elizabeth raised a hand, "What's the tactics class again?"
"It's a course about fighting against various opponents. Before the apprentices in the tower go out for their first study tour, it's a temporary lesson. They will teach about the high-threat targets of the target plane they are going to."
Elizabeth's mouth opened wide: "I have known you for so long, but I am still constantly shocked by this magical wizard tower of yours. Do you want a warlock in your tower?"
Wang: "We have a warlock in our tower, but he is mainly responsible for research. There is a teacher who wants to find out how warlocks obtain magic, and then use this knowledge to improve mages."
Elizabeth: "The warlock is under house arrest?"
"No, he lives quite happily and goes to the theater every day."
"Watching a show?"
"This is a metaphor. After all, our Mage Tower is noisy every day, and dozens of accidents can occur."
At this time, Xiaobai also finished meditating. She stood up and shouted angrily: "Meat!"
Elizabeth, who was listening to the story attentively, immediately responded: "Here it is!"

At noon, Wang rode a wolf over the hill. Marika, the leader, stopped, pointed to the wooden castle in the distance and the magnificent stone fortress next to it and said: "That is Ximu Town. The stone fortress next to it
It was a former mining center, but now it is semi-abandoned due to the sharp decline in the town’s population.”
Elizabeth asked doubtfully: "Why would you rather live in a wooden castle than a stone house?"
Dwarf: "If a stone house is not built well, it may not be as comfortable as a wooden house. In my opinion, that stone fortress should be very 'breathable', and it might be useless even if you don't make a fire in winter."
Marika: "The stone castle originally had a forge inside, so a lot of special designs were made for ventilation and heat dissipation. Now that the flames of the forge are no longer burning brightly, that place is only suitable for summer vacation."
Wang put down the telescope: "I saw a flag on the stone castle, so Earl Ximu is taking a summer vacation now?"
Marika: "I don't know. Let's go and take a look."
The king nodded, then took out the flag of Langdon's leader from the dimensional bag and handed it to the barbarian to hold, while he took out the luminous scepter.
Elizabeth: "Now I suddenly feel that your scepter has too many uses. I used to think that it was a waste if the dragon did not breathe dragon breath."
Wang: "I just discovered it yesterday. This light is so useful. It can frighten the opponent's horse during the day, dazzle at night, and can be used to add prestige when necessary. This thing is so versatile that Erwin only uses it.
Come and breathe the dragon's breath, it's a waste."
Marika: "Then let's visit Earl Xiaximu with great authority."
