"Stop. We have to move forward carefully. Even if the goblins and the kobolds are defeated, a seventh-ring wizard's laboratory is still very dangerous. There may be traps and golems guarding it."
The king got off the werewolf's back and casually asked, "Can you detect traps?"
"I'm a druid!"
King: "There should be a spell in the Druid's natural magic that can detect simple traps, right? I remember it's in the first ring."
The werewolf girl stared at the king suspiciously: "How do you know so much about the druid's magic? As a druid myself, I also have to comprehend nature to a certain degree before nature will grant me the next level of magic! Before that, I don't even know what magic I will get!
"When I ask the elders what the next level of spells looks like, they will answer in riddles! Only my fellow druids who are still adventuring will be kind enough to explain to me the spells that I haven't mastered yet!"
No wonder the druid was surprised.
Druids gain the power to get close to nature through mysterious rituals, so the Druid Order does not have an education system like the wizards. High-level druids only teach young people how to get close to nature.
In order to be closer to nature, druids sometimes choose to live like wild beasts and obtain their own territory in the wild. Some druids may never have much communication with high-level druids throughout their entire lives, and rely entirely on their own affinity with nature to obtain divine arts.
This means that druids often have to obtain knowledge about high-level spells that they have not yet mastered from mercenaries and adventurers other than druids: such as the effects of the spell, the materials required, and so on.
The werewolf girl's eyes flickered with curiosity: "How do you know our magic?"
"Because I have this." Wang took out the Book of Infinity from his dimensional bag.
The werewolf girl covered her eyes with her hands: "Ohhhhh, stop flashing my eyes with this horrible treasure!"
After she finished shouting, she spread her fingers and looked at Wang with one eye: "So there are also contents of druid magic in it? How much?"
"Almost all of them." Wang flipped through the Book of Infinity casually. "After all, divine spellcasters can't create all kinds of spells like wizards do."
Little Werewolf: "Can I take a look?"
Wang: "Then I have to show you page by page. I am the only one who can turn the pages of this book."
The werewolf girl showed a look of being hit hard again: "Who are you? Why do so many babies only recognize you?"
Wang: "I told you my teacher's name."
"I don't know who that is! Wait, you didn't tell me your name?"
Wang: "Just call me Wang."
"Woof?" The girl tilted her head, and suddenly she looked like she had figured something out. She pointed at the wizard and shouted, "Good fellow! You schemed against me! I'm not a dog, I'm a wolf! A wolf!"
Wang: "No, no, no, my real name is Wang. To be precise, this is my last name, which comes from the far east. I don't want to mention my given name, so just call me this."
The girl stared at Wang suspiciously: "You're really not lying to me? Don't you want me to bark like a dog when I call you in the future?"
"Really? And your voice is too loud. People ten thousand meters away can hear what's going on here." Wang said helplessly, "We should act secretly now."
The girl still had an unconvinced expression. She moved closer to the wizard and sniffed empty air as before: "Hmm... It doesn't smell like a lie."
"Can you smell a lie?" Wang was shocked. "Could it be that you can smell the hormones that humans secrete when they are nervous?"
"I don't know what you said, but I've decided to believe you now. But I don't want to be called a dog, so from now on you will be called Smart!"
The wizard nodded, "Very well. How about you, young lady?"
"My name is very long and hard to remember. Listen carefully, my name is Whitebes Kuntukuta..."
Wang: "Hello, Xiaobai."
"Hey! I just got started!"
The wizard shrugged. "White means white, and you are so small, so Xiaobai is enough. It just fits my nickname!"
"You are Xiaobai, and I am Dacongming. It's a good name for a temporary alliance. After this incident is resolved, you will return to Green Fields to report. I may have to accompany the princess to participate in a war. In other words, we will remain together forever..."
"Alright." Xiao Bai waved his hand, "Hurry up and start, how are we going to get in?"
Wang: "First of all, let me confirm, you...didn't prepare any magic to detect traps today?"
"I have made preparations. After all, we have to investigate underground. But you should know from the book that my magic can only reveal simple traps. It will definitely not be able to detect a magic trap created by a seventh-ring wizard. A rogue must be here to handle this matter."
Wang: "Then let's fall back on the second approach."
At this moment, suddenly a feather arrow shot towards the king, but missed.
The main thing is that the arrow is curved, which is consistent with the poor quality of goblin creations.
Wang: "Look, here comes the second way!"
After that, he raised his scepter and shouted in goblin language: "Come here! Accept my command!"
The next moment, a small group of goblins appeared, led by a large goblin.
King: "Call all the remaining people in your tribe! Go now!"
The hobgoblin immediately turned around and left, leaving a few goblins standing there trembling.
Xiaobai: "You want the goblins to go to the trap?"
"No, I want them to find the hobgoblin scouts in the tribe. They are usually wanderers or rangers. There are few rangers in the tribes living underground in the town, but many wanderers." said the king.

(*) The author had only found werewolves in the extended rules before, and didn't expect this to be under the lycanthropy branch of the core rules. However, after looking at the werewolves in the core rules, they are basically different from what I wrote, so don't confuse them.
Chapter 49 Entering the Laboratory
on the street.
Elizabeth suddenly grabbed the reins in Michaela's hands to slow down the carriage.
Marika rode to the front on her horse, then turned her horse’s head and exclaimed, “Your Highness?”
Elizabeth stood up on the carriage. "I am a sorcerer, and I have a lot of spells for today. And I have defensive bracers, and my team is fully equipped... well, one is missing. What I should do now is not to flee back to the safety of the inner city.
"I'm supposed to protect my people."
Marika looked at Elizabeth carefully, as if she was meeting her for the first time. "I thought you would continue to worry about the missing wizard."
Elizabeth: "I am very worried about him, but when I think about the fact that he might still be struggling to solve the crisis of world destruction, I can't allow myself to escape. What's more, I have seen all this."
She turned her head and looked at the block ahead where fire was burning.
The heat wave came with the wind, mixed with the cries of children and women.
The dwarf looked at the miserable situation, took a big sip from the wine flask, and jumped off the carriage with his shield. "Your Highness is right. Dwarf warriors will not flee at a time like this. The drow are different because they are evil drow."
The drow simply glanced at the dwarf, then placed one hand on his chest and saluted Elizabeth: "Your command is my destiny, my noble lady."
"The elders of my tribe always say that outstanding love will make people progress." Mishasha pulled the reins and stopped the carriage directly in the square. "Your Highness! If you want to defend, you must use the carriages to build a barricade! This intersection is very close to the market. I will go to the market to get all the carriages and form a circle!"
Elizabeth: “Uh, oh, okay!”
Marika: "I'll go gather the guards from the nearby garrisons and tell the fleeing citizens that there are people defending this place!"
After saying that, the drow elf kicked the horse's butt, and the horse neighed loudly, turned around and ran away.
Dwarf: "Gotrik, it's just the two of us now, hold the line!"
Elizabeth watched her team members take their positions with a blank expression, which seemed to say, "Let me feel a little involved!"
However, the princess's sense of participation came immediately.
A few minutes later, a group of fleeing citizens emerged from the front, followed by the soldiers led by Steyer who were laughing wildly!
Elizabeth stood on the carriage and announced loudly: "I am Elizabeth Langdon, the lord's sister! I will protect my people until my death!"
After that, she began to cast a spell, and a red ray accurately hit the Steyer soldier who was rushing in the front! This soldier had an identification feather on his helmet, so he should be the captain of this invading army team.
The captain's breastplate instantly turned red, and then the coarse cloth clothes under the breastplate were directly ignited by the high temperature.
He fell to the ground screaming, trying to put out the fire on his body by rolling.
However, the heavy full body armor blocked his rolling and also provided a gap for air circulation, so rolling was useless!
Seeing the squad leader fall to the ground, the soldiers behind him shouted, "Spellcaster!"
"She just said she was a princess! The emperor has ordered that everyone in the line of succession to Duke Langdon, from the octogenarians to the infants, be executed immediately!"
"Don't be in a hurry to kill him, just enjoy it first!"
Elizabeth was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at the person who said "have some fun" and was about to fire rays again.
"Your Highness!" the dwarf warned loudly, "If you haven't used up all your spells, they will all be on guard. When you have to start firing magic missiles, they will act recklessly!"
At this time, another Steyr soldier with feathers on his helmet appeared from the alley. He glanced at his colleague who was still wailing on the ground and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Shoot with your crossbow! Are you waiting to be roasted into a roasted pig by magic?"
At this moment, Marika, riding a horse, entered the intersection from the left road with a group of guards armed with crossbows and swords.
Michaela appeared from the right intersection driving a horse-drawn carriage, followed by a horse-drawn carriage driven by farmers from outside the city carrying vegetables.
Marika shouted from her horse: "Use the carriages to build barricades and organize a defensive formation! Her Highness the Princess is with us!"
The city police had already seen the princess. Her long silver hair was so conspicuous no matter where she was.
They shouted and rushed towards Elizabeth with high morale.

underground.
With a loud bang, the hobgoblin scout's head fell not far ahead.
The king was shocked: "It seems that the traps in this laboratory are a bit too advanced for the hobgoblins' trap-disarming skills."
Xiao Bai agreed: "Let them step on the trap directly, they will eventually step on it."
The king raised his scepter and said to the goblins lined up beside him, "Go one more."
A large hobgoblin scout crouched forward, trembling. Goblins were short to begin with, two heads shorter than the short werewolves, and the scout crouched and crouched forward, making him even shorter.
Xiao Bai watched the goblins disappear into the obviously deliberately designed curve at the entrance of the laboratory, and turned to ask the wizard: "Why don't you just let them step on it? The goblins' lives are not important anyway."
"Because there may be three more flesh golems to deal with later, we need meat shields."
"What is a Flesh Golem?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"A golem based on the corpse of a humanoid creature, made by fusing various corpse parts."
"What is a golem?" Xiaobai continued to ask.
"A magically created construct."
"What is a construct?"
