Bruce looked confused.

Wang Ye looked confused. "My right eyelid twitched yesterday. I issued a warning because of this. What happened later confirmed my warning, didn't it?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and someone said loudly, "A warning signal if your right eyelid twitches? Isn't that a bit ridiculous?"

"Yes, it must be a coincidence!"

Bruce raised his hand to stop everyone's discussion and asked seriously, "Did you give a warning?"

Wang looked surprised: "I told Marika and Casander. Didn't Casander report it to you?"

Casander cleared his throat awkwardly: "I... just brushed it off and didn't emphasize that it was a warning. I thought it wasn't important. After all, it was just an eyelid twitch."

Wang: "This is very important. I am a prophecy mage. This is not my own choice. My teacher forced me to choose it. I just chose to oppose the protection system.

"My teacher said that I am the darling of fate. This is not a good word, because all the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price. The last time my right eyelid twitched, my junior uncle's soul was severely damaged. Since then, he can only rely on memory crystals to help him remember things.

"Luckily, I'm a prophecy mage, so every time the gift of fate comes, it will give me a sign. This is why my teacher asked me to choose the prophecy department."

Bruce looked Wang up and down. "Your left eyelid twitched today, so you got over it? But I see you didn't pay any price."

Wang responded seriously, "How could there not be? First, yesterday in Tang's office, Erwin raided us. He is a powerful wizard who can use the Finger of Death. He chose to use the Finger of Death on Elizabeth. It was the dwarf priest in our team who was experienced and used the Aid spell to trick Erwin.

“Otherwise, your resurrection scroll can only be used to resurrect your sister.

"Despite this, your subordinate, the fourth-ring wizard Fernie, died. And your other subordinate, the wanderer, also died in Tang's office. I forgot his name.

"After Elizabeth was teleported out, she was immediately attacked by the enemy. When I turned into a dragon and found her yesterday, I saw that her sleeve was missing. Apparently, she had cut her sleeve to heal the wound. She must have been in danger yesterday."

Elizabeth nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for the defensive wristbands that Madam Meili gave me, I would be dead."

The king continued, "Also, last night after I rescued Elizabeth, I went to attack the River Valley Army, but I was hit by a six-ring disintegration technique. If I hadn't been in dragon form at the time, I would have been killed immediately. After that, I suffered a lot of injuries in the ground fight."

Bruce: "But it doesn't matter if you die, right? Your teacher will resurrect you, and then your uncle will come with the demon army to kill you."

Wang: "Yes. But from now on, I have to separate from Elizabeth. Maybe I won't be able to see her again until I have the ability to travel through planes and time. I don't want this. No, I refuse such a fate!"

Elizabeth's legs went weak, and her brother Wayne quickly helped her up.

Wang continued, "And my teammates. This is the first time I have made friends on my own. The dwarf is an experienced priest, very reliable and interesting. Although Gotrek looks silly, I feel that he is a very wise man. Misha Sara always tells dirty jokes, and Xiaobai acts on instinct all day long. I am very much looking forward to adventures with such teammates!

"I don't want to be separated from my friends! Not for even a moment!"

The mage's words were powerful.

Elizabeth was speechless, but she immediately stood up and said "thank you" to Wayne.

Bruce was shocked. "I understand now. Your value judgment on things is very different from ours. But, as you said, what happened last night was indeed a huge crisis. It was just that we overcame it with wisdom, courage, and a little bit of luck."

Xiao Bai: "I understand. But what about the gift? How can you take the price but not give the gift?"

Wang: "Think about your ham."

Xiao Bai suddenly realized: "Oh, indeed."

Wayne looked at his sister meaningfully.

At this time, Bruce coughed, focused his attention on himself, and then asked solemnly: "So this morning, your left eyelid twitched. We have overcome the most difficult difficulties, right?"

King: "Yes. At least my friends and I will not be in danger anymore. And we have no intention of leaving Landon County during the Emperor's attack, so the Emperor will fail."

Wang's powerful words once again sparked a lot of discussion.

Everyone in the command room had a smile on their face.

Bruce laughed the happiest, even laughing out loud. He looked back at the people who were all delighted, and patted Wang on the shoulder: "I know you didn't mean it, but... God, I have a feeling that if you become prime minister, Kuosanya will be able to replace Monrovia."

After saying this, he suddenly stopped smiling, turned around and shouted, "But we can't be careless! We must be prepared to defend the city!"

At this time, Wang said: "In fact, there is a simpler way to end everything. The artifact I got allows me to transform into a dragon once a day. This means that I can transform again 24 hours after the last transformation."

Bruce was overjoyed: "Are you planning to launch a surprise attack on the emperor tonight?"

"No, no, an attack from an encamped army is less effective. Tomorrow at noon, they will be approaching the city of Langdon, and I will attack them when they are in a marching column."

Wayne stepped forward: "We can cooperate with Long and launch a cavalry charge."

Bruce: "No, no, if the cavalry leaves the city, they will be spotted by the Amur Mercenary Corps' light cavalry, and the emperor will be warned. Dragons are different. Dragons fly fast, and the cavalry will not have time to warn. That's it. Now let's finish the awarding ceremony first."

Wang: "I don't want territory."

Bruce: "Then change it to gold of equivalent value. The wizard should need gold very much."

Wang thought for a moment and said, "Indeed."

Xiaobai: "Can I also exchange it for gold? I want gold! And meat!"

Chapter 60 The Master's Plan for the Future

Bruce looked relieved. He raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to suppress the discussions. He waited until the hall was quiet before asking Wang, "What about the world-destroying crisis? You just said that the real mastermind has not been exposed yet? And even if you use the scroll to resurrect Erwin, he may not reveal any useful information?"

He really can act, Wang Mingming said it once.

The wizard also cooperated with the new Duke: "I'm afraid that's the case. In fact, there is another way, which is to use the scroll to revive Mark - the spy. But I suspect... I suspect that after he has undergone such a change, the scroll will determine that he died of natural causes. Because there is only one scroll, we can't take any risks."

Casander added, "As for Mark's background, we investigated it and found nothing. Langdon has too many caravans, both by water and by land. Finding clues about one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Wang nodded: "So let's go back to the original path."

Next, Wang reported everything he had reported once again, including an overview of the experimental notes found in Erwin's laboratory, etc. Of course, there was also his conjecture about the real mastermind who had not yet been exposed.

Finally, Wang took out the photo frame and said, "This is the photo frame. Please pass it around and see if you have seen this architectural style before."

As he said this, he handed the photo frame to Wayne who was closest to him.

The Duke's brother lowered his head and carefully checked the contents of the photo frame, then shook his head: "To me, this is just a church. And I can't see the standard of the holy emblem. I don't know whose church it is."

Elizabeth eagerly snatched the frame from her brother, looked at it carefully and said, "I recognize this, it looks like a rose."

Wang: "It doesn't explain the problem, because it may be an additional decoration. If you follow it, you may be misled. But the architectural style of the church cannot be fake."

Elizabeth shook her head and handed the frame back to the king.

He then handed the photo frame to his butler Merlin. "What do you think? Is this Solace's architectural style?"

Merlin shook his head. "Obviously not."

When he was about to return the photo frame, Wang gestured: "Pass it on to everyone to see."

Merlin turned and handed the frame to the nearest baron, and it began to pass among the nobles.

Elizabeth pulled the king's sleeve, leaned forward and whispered, "Isn't this a very important clue? What if it's damaged?"

"It's just a solid wood photo frame. It looks like a pencil drawing inside, but it's actually a rubbing of the wood and then painted with some kind of mortar. It's not easy to damage something like this, it takes a lot of effort." The king lowered his voice and leaned close to the princess' ear, "So it's basically impossible to 'accidentally' damage it. That person must be a follower of the real mastermind."

Elizabeth said "Oh" and said admiringly: "You still have a way."

Wang: “Of course.”

However, the frame returned safely to Wang. No one recognized this style of architecture.

Elizabeth asked, "Can we revive Erwin and then ask him where this painting is from?"

Wang: "You can try. But you have to wait until you get the resurrection scroll."

While passing the photo frame, Bruce paced slowly around the sand table, and finally stopped to look at Wang: "Let's talk about this matter after the battle is over and everything is settled. Then you can use the knowledge to exchange for the resurrection scroll and resurrect Erwin. You just said that you don't plan to leave Langdon City before the war is over, right?"

Wang: “Yes.”

Bruce asked with a little interest, "Can I ask why? The test assigned by your teacher does not include asking Langdon to overcome difficulties, right?"

"Yes, but I have helped so far. And my teacher also said that we will have at least five years to deal with this crisis. If he said five years, it will be more, not less. This is actually not a particularly urgent matter. And now you see, you promised to give us the resurrection scroll, and we need that scroll."

Bruce nodded: "I understand. Then you should take a rest today. Tomorrow will depend on your performance. Elizabeth, you should accompany our distinguished guest well."

Elizabeth: “I will.”

Xiao Bai: "I'm afraid she won't leave at all. After all, she wants to..."

Elizabeth: "Xiaobai, do you want to eat cake?"

"I don't like starch. Give me meat! Meat like yesterday's ham!"

Elizabeth smiled and said, "Then come along. I'll let you meet the rest of our team. They should be having dinner downstairs."

Xiaobai's ears stood up and his tail wagged back and forth: "Eat!"

**

As soon as Flint saw Wang coming in, he put down his glass and began to applaud: "Look who's here, yesterday's hero! Let me tell you, we don't have any bards here. If we had, we could have written a legendary ballad."

Barbarian: “High!”

Misha Sara smiled and said, "At times like this, I should add, 'It's really high.' So, I guess the world crisis is resolved?"

It seems that Marika checked the laboratory overnight and rested as soon as she came back, and she hasn't reported to everyone in detail yet.

Wang shook his head, and was about to start from the beginning when Xiaobai shouted, "Where's the rice? Where's the meat?"

The dwarf looked at the table and picked up the bread: "Here, it's freshly baked this morning. It smells so good."

Xiaobai: "I don't want to eat flour!"

Elizabeth: "Someone, bring me a ham. The best one!"

Xiaobai: "The one from yesterday? I don't want that one, it's a bit salty. Do you have any that haven't been pickled?"

She even picked it up! The ham that was so precious this morning was abandoned!

Elizabeth said to the servant who came in at the sound, "Bring some fresh meat."

"Is it fresh meat?" the servant confirmed with a look of surprise.

"Yes, fresh meat. There should be some fresh meat that has just been cut and not yet cooked. Bring a piece to our hero, Miss Druid."

Xiaobai happily ran to the table and climbed onto a stool.

Seeing that Xiaobai's problem was solved, Wang began to pick up the conversation that had just been interrupted and explained what happened yesterday.

The dwarf sighed, "The drow searched the laboratory and came back saying that it was burned down. I thought it was you who set the fire. But it turned out not to be the case."

Marika looked at the king and said, "The fire was set very cleverly. I can't find any traces of anyone else leaving the scene except you and the druid."

Wang: "This in itself shows that there is someone behind this. So please take a look at this photo frame and see if you can recognize the architectural style of this place?"

The dwarf was the first to grab the photo frame: "Of course, this kind of thing is what we dwarves are best at! Oh, Carlisle Newman, I don't have any information except that it can be seen that this is an ugly house built by humans."
