"Oh my god, it smells so bad! Do all dragons stink this bad?"
Suddenly, a light burst out from the king: the time for the Ultimate Dragon Magic has come.
He turned back into the wizard in a flash of light, but the injuries he suffered in dragon form were mostly inherited by the wizard. His left shoulder was almost completely decomposed, with only the bones exposed.
Fortunately, he was in dragon form when he was hit by the disintegration technique. If he was a human, he would probably be turned into powder and turned into ashes.
"Hey, it's a person!" the mercenaries exclaimed.
Someone immediately noticed the dragon-headed scepter in the king's hand. Because the king had fainted, the scepter was no longer glowing, but under the light of the surrounding torches, it could be seen that the top of the scepter was a transparent, crystal-like thing carved into a dragon head.
"This thing looks very valuable!" A brave mercenary couldn't restrain his greed and walked over to pick up the scepter. "Now it belongs to me!"
The next moment, he was flung away by a huge force, passing through the wall of people surrounding the king, and his head hit a large rock on the side of the road, breaking his neck immediately.
The scepter flew back to the fallen wizard on its own and lay motionless on the ground.
Seeing this, everyone took a step back in horror.
At this moment, a ham fell from the sky and landed next to the fallen mage with a thud, creating a cloud of dust.
This ham made everyone take another step back.
The werewolf girl landed lightly beside the ham, raised her hand and cast a spell, and several giant wolves responded to the summons, facing away from the mage and surrounding him. This was one of the special abilities of the druid, which could temporarily transform the spell prepared today into summoning an animal companion.
The werewolf girl then checked the wizard's injuries and cast a rejuvenation spell.
The mage's injuries immediately stabilized, and the bleeding stopped. The girl turned to the priests of the Chamber of Commerce and shouted, "You are priests, right? Roll over here! Use your strongest healing spells on him! And the healing spell. If his hand can't regenerate, I will bite off your hand and reattach it to his!"
The girl paused, then remembered something and shouted, "Scroll of Remove Disease, bring me the Scroll of Remove Disease!"

(*) The knowledge required to obtain spells in this book has obviously increased. This can be considered a balance. In the world setting of this book, the number of divine spellcasters is obviously greater than that of arcane spellcasters, because as long as divine spellcasters are pious enough, they will be granted all the divine spells of the next level by various gods or nature. Arcane spellcasters either need to have bloodlines and become warlocks, or they must master a lot of knowledge and spend a lot of time studying arcane spells.
In the world of this book, it is very difficult to acquire a new arcane spell, especially a high-level arcane spell. Of course, mages will also share spells in associations, such as the Arcane Union that will appear later. But mages who have not joined this organization can only rely on their own teachers or take risks on their own to acquire new knowledge and magic.
In addition, there is Xiaobai's combat power. My original intention was to learn from "Dungeons & Dragons: Rogue Glory" to let the druid change freely, but I didn't expect that after I let my imagination run wild, she was a little too strong. It happened that someone mentioned in the chapter that the druid had a shapeshifting module, so I took a look and decided to use that module. From now on, Xiaobai is a shapeshifting druid, and she has lost her high-level spellcasting ability.
I originally wanted to let her cast the Nine-Ring Druid spell in the future. Forget it, dogs must be castrated. This is the fate of dogs.
Chapter 56 Wolf and Sheep
A few more hours passed.
It was almost dawn when Elizabeth met the king in the castle.
She originally wanted to pounce on him directly, but after taking two steps, she saw Xiaobai who was sitting in the blind spot of her vision, so she stopped and looked at the werewolf girl in confusion.
Xiaobai also saw the princess, but was reluctant to put down the ham in his hand.
The ham was thrown to the ground and smashed by the wizard in the valley. The surface was already covered with dust. The werewolf girl continued to chew it, and the dust got all over her face.
Elizabeth looked at the werewolf suspiciously several times, then asked, "Who are you?"
"You are the princess, right?" Xiao Bai ignored Elizabeth's question and said, "The smart guy told me to tell you that he is fine. He just took a lot of healing spells, lesser recovery spells, and disease removal spells, and now he needs to catch up on his sleep."
Healing can turn decay into good, and lesser restoration can regenerate broken limbs, but these two spells are very exhausting. (*)
Of course, this fatigue can be removed by the paladin's redemption ability, but a paladin who has experienced a fierce battle obviously has no divine spells left.
Elizabeth looked puzzled: "How smart?"
The werewolf girl nodded to the wizard lying on the bed and said, "He took a disintegration spell. Luckily, he was in dragon form when he took it, so only half of his hand was left with bones. If he had eaten it in human form, he would have turned into powder long ago."
Elizabeth added dimly, "Then the angry demon army will destroy everything."
Xiao Bai was about to bite the ham, but he stopped in surprise after hearing this: "What is that?"
"Didn't he tell you?" Elizabeth felt a little superior for some reason. "He has a dimensional bag on him, which is..."
Xiaobai took out the dimensional bag from his body: "You mean this? He asked me to take care of it temporarily before going to bed. But I can't open it and take things out. I can only stuff things in it. I almost wanted to stuff the ham in it."
Elizabeth looked at the dimensional bag, then at the werewolf girl's dirty face, and finally at Ham, her face becoming more and more confused.
She hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "So who are you? Why are you here?"
Xiaobai: "Ah? I'm here because I'm the one who's going to travel with him."
Elizabeth's legs went weak and she almost fell to her knees.
Xiaobai: "What's wrong with you? Is your chest too heavy?"
Elizabeth grabbed the chair next to her and used it for support to stand firmly. Then she asked in a trembling voice, "Did he tell you that?"
"I asked for it," Xiao Bai took a bite of ham, "We found a clue that can track down the mastermind behind the scenes. In order to find out this clue, we need to go to the country that eats human food, the country that eats stew, the country that eats porridge, and the Thorn Islands. So I asked to go together."
Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief, but then she became anxious again, and asked, "Did he tell you that he wanted to go on a business trip with you?"
Xiao Bai: "No."
Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, then asked again, "Did he say that he wanted to be your little lamb and let your whip hit him gently every day?"
Xiao Bai: "What kind of weird question is this? No."
Elizabeth thought that since she had asked so many questions, she might as well finish her question: "Does he blush when he touches you and dare not look at your face?"
Xiaobai: "No. He rode me naturally."
Elizabeth sat down on the chair with a bang, and her secondary sexual characteristics came into close contact with the back of the chair, causing her to grit her teeth in pain.
Xiaobai looked at Elizabeth and laughed: "What are you doing? It's so interesting."
Elizabeth took a few deep breaths, then asked seriously, "How did he ride you?"
“Just ride normally.”
“It’s normal!?”
"Yes, just like riding a horse."
"Horse riding???" The princess' voice suddenly rose. The king, who was catching up on his sleep, seemed to be stimulated by the voice, turned over and continued to sleep.
Elizabeth covered her mouth and saw that the mage had no intention of waking up, so she continued to ask, "What's the matter with riding a horse?"
"Just riding a horse, riding like this. At first I was in wolf form, too tall, and the sewer was too short, so he bumped his head several times. Fortunately, I was smart and changed into human form, so the height was just right."
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes at the little girl and said, "Are you really riding a horse?"
The werewolf looked at the ceiling: "Uh... I'm not too sure, because I've only seen humans riding horses, but I've never ridden one myself. He didn't use a whip, nor did he poke my butt with the thorns on his boots."
Elizabeth let out a long sigh of relief again, and then she noticed that a certain part of her body was hurt.
So she said with a complaining tone: "Please don't say things that may cause misunderstandings!"
"Hmm?" The wolf girl looked confused.
Suddenly, she sniffed, threw the ham on the table, stood up and ran to Elizabeth, putting her nose against the princess' body and smelling it "empty".
Xiaobai's expression changed and he realized that things were not simple!
She pulled back and pointed at Elizabeth's nose, "That's the smell of estrus! You want to fuck Dacongming!"
Elizabeth: “I didn’t!”
Xiaobai: "I don't believe it! Such a strong smell!"
Elizabeth nervously lowered her head and smelled herself.
Because she felt guilty, the princess could only stammer and admit, "I... I didn't... I mean... but I do like him. I want to date him."
Xiaobai: "I see. It's a human-specific shyness. What about the wise guy's opinion? From a human perspective, you should be considered pretty."
Elizabeth: "He wants to fuck me, too."
"That's easy. Just think about what to name the kid." Xiaobai returned to his seat and picked up the dirty big ham.
Elizabeth: "He was struggling with his teacher's teachings. His teacher said that the premise of love is that you see a very beautiful girl but you don't want to sleep with her."
Xiaobai: "Is his teacher an idiot? No wonder he has such a smart child."
Elizabeth: "I think there's something wrong with him. He's a dork. A smart dork. So you'll travel with us in the future?"
Xiaobai: "You guys want to eat all over the mainland too?"
"No..." Elizabeth said seriously, "The king should have told you to tell me about the progress of your investigation, right?"
"He did arrange it. Listen carefully."
Next, the wolf girl recounted everything they had discovered in Irwin's laboratory, and of course also told Wang about his speculation.
Elizabeth stood up. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll have Marika search the lab right now!"
**
In the early morning, Marika came back.
"The laboratory was burned down. There is no clue left." The drow said seriously, "This shows one thing, there is someone behind Erwin, this is just part of a series of evil plans. The wizard's exam is not over yet."
Elizabeth was overjoyed: "Great, then we can go to Monrovia and the River Kingdoms with him!"
Marika looked at Elizabeth, as if she didn't want to burst her fantasy, but she finally said, "I don't think the new Duke will let us go under such circumstances."
Elizabeth: "Then we can wait until the war is over before leaving. During this time, I will contribute to the war. When everything is over and I have fulfilled my obligations to the family, my brother will have no reason to restrict me anymore."
"Do you think Lord Bruce will let go of a warlock born in his family so easily? The key is that you have warlock bloodline, and your future children may also be warlocks." Marika said, "I think we may have to escape secretly. If we want to escape, we must do so before the war is over."
"No," Elizabeth said firmly, "I have seen the horrors of war. I can ignore my family's responsibilities, but I cannot abandon my people at a time like this."
Marika smiled: "Your Highness, you...you are no longer the little girl who wants to go out for an outing. Don't worry, no matter where you want to go, I will accompany you to the end."

(*) In fact, you only need to use healing spells to fully recover, after all, when you are running a group, the enemy's attack only causes health damage. However, I have run a group that has a house rule: once the enemy hits hard, the DM will roll the player character with an injured status, and this injury must be repaired with a spell from the restoration series.
I thought this was pretty good, so I added it.
Also, healing spells don't make people tired, but I think it's reasonable for the human body to be tired after working so hard to regenerate so many wounds and limbs.
Chapter 57: Turn the ham, the morning light falls on you
After a long night, the morning light seemed especially bright.
The battle in the city of Langdon has basically ended. The city guards have laid down their weapons and started organizing young and middle-aged people to put out the fire.
