"That spell allows me to see invisible people, but you can't see me either."
The werewolf opened his mouth wide: "Is that so? Then you can use a dispel magic! Then both invisibility and advanced invisibility will be dispelled. (*)"
The king was even more embarrassed: "I can't cast abjuration spells, this is my opposing school."
The druid was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Are you sick?"
Wang: "Well, my teacher said this is the choice of fate. Let's not talk about this. I'll use some flash dust so you can see my outline."
"No need, I can probably tell where you are by smell."
Wang: “Smell it?”
The werewolf simply closed his eyes, sniffed and made a "hollow" sound, and took small steps towards the king.
"Don't move! Don't walk!" The girl stretched out her hand and poked the wizard's stomach directly, "Here!"
She opened her eyes and said happily, "See! Right! I caught your scent in the stench of the stinking river next to me. Okay, who are you and why are you investigating the kidnapping of stray cats and dogs?"
However, Wang's attention was all attracted by new things at this time. He raised his hand and began to cast a spell.
The druid moved away from him and kept his distance: "What kind of spell are you casting!"
"Detect magical aura!" Wang shouted the spell directly. This simple low-level spell is the name of the spell.
After activating the spell, Wang walked over and carefully studied the girl's nose: "There is no magic in this, how did you do it..."
"I'm a werewolf! Do you understand werewolves?"
"But it doesn't look like a werewolf's nose. A werewolf's nose should have obvious canine features..."
"What! You called me a dog!" The druid's hair all stood up, making her look like a cat with its fur standing on end.
Wang: "But wolves are canines. They have similar physical characteristics..."
The druid shook his head like a rattle: "No no no no, I am a wild wolf!"
Wang: "Indeed, dogs are actually domesticated wolves..."
"Ah! Wow! Ugh! I can't hear you!" The druid blocked his ears.
Wang showed a surprised expression again (even though he was invisible and no one could see it). He lifted the girl's temples and found that there was nothing where her ears were.
The same is true for Michaela, but Michaela is covered in fur, which almost covers all the features on her body. Her head shape is also different from that of humans, more like that of a cat, so there is no sense of incongruity.
This werewolf girl has fair and clean skin, just like humans. Even her body hair is very fine and almost invisible. Her face shape is also exactly that of a human. It would be too scary if she didn't have ears!
Fortunately, she had thick hair that covered the place where human ears should be.
"You," the girl sighed, letting her sideburns fall, "have you become stupid from studying magic? How can you touch a girl you just met like this?"
Wang: “I have a slightly different opinion on this point.”
As he said this, the time of the advanced invisibility potion finally expired, and the king's figure was revealed.
Wang: "Based on what I've seen since leaving the Mage Tower, girls all have obvious secondary sexual characteristics! You don't! So ah!"
The druid kicked him in the crotch.
The wizard squatted down, holding his crotch.
Werewolf Girl: "How can you say that!"
Wang: "You...are you really a girl?"
"Why, you want to confirm it with your own eyes? Okay, but you'll die after you confirm it! And my voice sounds like a girl's!"
Wang: "No. He looks like a little boy whose voice hasn't changed."
"You! Never mind. Let me heal you first." The werewolf girl began to cast a spell. She closed her eyes and began to feel nature.
Although this was the underground of a human town, the power of nature still gathered through the wolf girl and finally concentrated in her hands. She raised her hand and gently touched the king's body.
Wang felt the pain in his crotch quickly eased, and the abrasions caused by the explosion of the fireball just now slowly healed. The itching caused by the skin growth spread all over the wound.
Wang turned his head and saw that the wound on his shoulder from the flying knife had stopped bleeding. He grabbed the flying knife and pulled it out.
The wound did not bleed, and new white flesh quickly appeared around the edges.
Wang: "Is this the Rejuvenation spell? I didn't realize you were such a powerful druid."
The girl snorted, "I'm not going to waste my time on you. I have a mission to complete! Who are you? Why are you investigating the disappearance of cats and dogs?"
Wang gave the teacher's name: "I am his disciple."
The girl crossed her arms and looked up at the sky: "Who is it? Is he famous?"
Wang suddenly laughed and grabbed the girl's hand: "Wow, you are the first person I have met in this world who didn't react to my master's name! It means that old man is not that awesome!"
"Let go! I have another question!"
"It's like this. Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth discovered..." The king explained the situation in simple and concise language.
The girl's eyes widened and her ears stood up. "You killed the mastermind? And you seized his artifact? So the incident is resolved, right?"
Wang: "No. I am preparing to go to his laboratory to investigate the ritual he is performing. Once I have figured out everything, I can determine whether the world-destroying crisis is over."
"Okay!" The werewolf girl nodded repeatedly, "It's good that it's not over yet! Then let's go investigate together! Do you know where the laboratory is?"
Wang: "I don't know. I wanted to find a kobold or goblin to lead the way, but they all ran away."
"You got the artifact, so you also gained the ability to command goblins and ogres?" the werewolf asked curiously.
Wang shook his head and said, "No, in fact, the artifact can only give me the ability to speak the languages of these two races. After my superficial research, the artifact does not have the ability to coerce other creatures.
"But it seems that both tribes have the tradition of worshipping the holder of this artifact. To be honest, I don't know where this tradition came from."
The werewolf's eyes sparkled, and he looked like a puppy waiting for a bone: "Can I see the artifact?"
"Sure." The prophecy mage did not detect any malice or greed, so he took out the dimensional bag with confidence.
The druid exclaimed, "Dimensional bag! Last time I saw one, it cost 25,000 gold coins! How much is your space?"
Wang: “Infinite.”
The druid fell to the ground with a thud, his voice particularly crisp: "You...how many gold coins are this..."
Druids are generally poor due to their living habits. In fact, it is very rare to find druids living in cities.
Wang: "My uncle did it."
The werewolf jumped up: "Can you give me one too?"
"Let's talk about it when we meet him in the future. This is the artifact we just seized." Wang took out the dragon head scepter from the dimensional bag.
The entire space was illuminated as if it were daytime.
The druid shielded his eyes: "Can't you turn off this glow?"
"No, I haven't found a way to adjust the luminosity."
"Let me see!" The werewolf wanted to grab the scepter, but suddenly stopped and asked politely, "Can I borrow it to have a look?"
"Sure." Wang handed it over. Anyway, he didn't feel any malice throughout the process.
The werewolf excitedly spat on his little hands and rubbed them excitedly: "This must be our druid's artifact!"
The moment her hand touched the scepter, the "light" of the scepter went out.
In the blink of an eye she flew out with a thud, as if some force had forcibly separated him and the scepter.
The fallen scepter automatically resumed its floating state and returned to the king.
The werewolf sprawled on the ground, "I...I saw a golden dragon, and it asked me why I thought I was worthy of the scepter!"
The king turned his head and looked at the scepter floating next to him, "Huh? I picked it up normally when I touched it? What dragon? I didn't see it?"
The werewolf climbed up, rubbing his waist and shouting, "Really? Why would I lie to you?"
Wang took the scepter and examined it carefully. "I am very sure that this scepter is not the kind that has self-awareness and recognizes its master. In theory, anyone can use it."
The werewolf yelled, "You got the artifact and didn't even examine it carefully?"
"It would still take a long time even if I had enough knowledge. I just got this scepter and can only recognize some of its simple features. I don't even know what it can do specifically."
The werewolf sighed, "There's really nothing I can do about you."
Suddenly, the ears on top of her head moved.
"Wait a minute! There's a sound coming from that door."
Wang: "The Wanderer Guild is coming to check what happened again. Let's go."
Werewolf: "Are you going to find the lab of the mastermind? Besides you and the mastermind, who else has touched this scepter?"
"Nothing."
"Then this smell must be the mastermind. I can follow the smell to find his laboratory. Let's go." As she spoke, the werewolf's body changed and expanded into a real giant wolf. Her clothes also automatically adapted to the change in body size and turned into a saddle on the giant wolf - a wolf saddle.
The king was stunned: "Oh my God, I have always dreamed of riding a warg! Such a big one!"
The wolf shook its head, and the king guessed that it wanted him to ride on it.
So he happily climbed onto the wolf's body.
The giant wolf spread its legs and ran wildly.
The king took the scepter and studied it on the bumpy back of the wolf.

In addition, the skill of identifying various items is completed instantly in many CRPG games, but in fact, according to the rules, it takes a long time to "study the target item."
Chapter 46: The End and Beginning of the Hero
Two flowers bloom, each representing one branch.
In the castle barracks, Bruce frowned when he saw the swallow fly into the narrow arrow shooting hole, and raised his hand to signal the military staff who was speaking to be quiet.
The swallow transformed into the appearance of Casander in the air, and before it landed the druid shouted, "Catch that short, fat bastard!"
Bruce immediately winked at the guards beside him. Apparently, the guards had been warned in advance who to watch out for, and they went up and pushed Tang from the Wanderer Guild to the ground.
Tang was surprised: "Why? Bruce, I treat you very well!"
