Finally, Elizabeth said, "We were captured by my second brother, the Duke, from the Three Wild Boars Tavern. Cassander led the knights to surround the tavern."
Wang looked at Bruce with suspicion, as if he didn't understand why Bruce sent people to arrest him and his group.
Bruce smiled and said, "We should quickly revive Irving. Aren't you still in a hurry to save the world?"
Chapter 69: The Master of Bypassing the Prohibition
The moment the king tore open the scroll, his right hand, which was holding the scroll, was filled with holy light.
He slowly squatted down and touched Erwin on the ground with the holy light.
Bruce, who was sitting in the distance, stood up and silently pressed the hilt of his sword. The paladin nearby was also ready and swallowed hard.
A divine light enveloped Erwin.
The light remained there, but the body remained motionless.
Flint, holding the warhammer tightly, asked uncertainly, "Is this scroll okay? When I saw resurrections before, people always got up all of a sudden."
Wang: "Perhaps this person's internal organs were too thoroughly damaged by the Banshee's Wail and need to be restored. It is also possible that the side effects of the positive energy also affected the resurrection spell."
As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse on the ground took a deep breath.
The cat-man got nervous and let go of the bowstring, but she reacted quickly and lifted the bow upwards before shooting, so the arrow hit the ceiling.
Erwin sat up, looked around, and roared, "I'm going to kill you all!"
Wang: "Xiaobai!"
Xiaobai turned into a giant bear, grabbed Erwin, patted him on the ground twice, and then put him back.
The frightened Erwin seemed to have difficulty breathing. He opened his mouth and made a sound of "uh" for a long time before he recovered: "Fuck you!"
The giant bear raised its paw.
"Wait a minute!" Erwin said. "Am I defeated?"
"You are dead," Wang said, picking up the torn resurrection scroll. "We resurrected you. By the way, you don't have any spellcasting materials on you. I have also confiscated your spellbook. If you know what's good for you, answer my questions."
Erwin laughed loudly. "It's useless. There's a restriction in my head. It's a very advanced restriction. Unless you can call up the devil lords above the fifth level of hell, you can't break this restriction."
Wang: "You are lying. If the mastermind is so powerful, why would he hide? He could just do his own thing and use the ban to resist detection."
Erwin snorted and didn't respond.
Elizabeth: "Based on my experience, his attitude means you are right."
Wang: "Then let's give it a try. Erwin, who spread the teachings of the Mother of Life to you?"
Erwin: “I discovered it myself.”
"Where did you find it?"
"In the ruins, I forgot."
Wang nodded. "This is indeed a restriction. Usually, the information points that are erased due to the restriction contract will become like this. One part is distorted, and the other part is unclear. But conversely, the content of the restriction can be reversed. For example, this paragraph can be understood as someone passing on the teachings of the Mother of Life to him in a certain relic."
Marika: “This is just speculation…”
Wang: "There is a way to verify it. Don't forget, I came from my teacher's Mage Tower. We even have seniors who specialize in studying the Devil's Edict. They have already developed a way to bypass the ban."
After saying that, Wang looked up and said to Xiao Bai, "Hold his hands tight and don't let him make gestures."
Xiaobai immediately slapped Erwin's hands into the wooden floor.
Erwin yelled, "You call this squeezing my hand? You're breaking my hand!"
Flint laughed heartily. "It's all the same, isn't it? It will make you feel more comfortable when you confess."
After saying that, he stepped on Erwin's comminuted left hand with his boot.
Erwin screamed.
Wang: "Don't make him dizzy. I still need to ask him some questions."
After that, he leaned closer to Erwin and whispered, "You met your mentor in an underground ruin, and he taught you the teachings of the Mother of Life, right?"
Erwin showed a painful expression: "No...I..."
Wang looked up and explained to everyone, "Because of the restrictions, he can't remember these things himself, so we have to do our best to restore the truth. Once we restore it closer, the memories sealed deep in his subconscious will surface, and then this will touch the restrictions, causing him great pain."
Bruce stood in his position, listening attentively to the king's words, and looking at the wizard's eyes becoming more and more filled with desire.
But no one noticed him.
Xiao Bai asked doubtfully: "What is subconscious?"
Elizabeth was very happy: "So I'm not the only one who doesn't know what this means?"
Wang: "It's a foreign word from the multiverse. Anyway, his painful expression just now shows that we guessed it right. By the way, it also proves one thing. The person who imposed the restriction is not an expert. His restriction is not something powerful that requires a devil lord above the fifth level of hell to bypass."
Elizabeth looked at the king with a complicated expression. At this time, she noticed her second brother's gaze, but did not speak.
Wang approached Erwin again and said, "Your mentor will teach you how to use the ritual to change cats and dogs, and further strengthen the influence of the Mother of Life in this world."
Erwin began to wail, his eyes began to turn bloodshot, and his already shattered hand began to twitch: "Stop... stop talking!"
Wang continued, "The advent of the Mother of Life is divided into several stages. First, there is a slight abnormality in the positive energy. The abnormality has almost no effect on young people, but only makes the healed wounds have more obvious scars and scabs. In the second stage, cheap healing scrolls and potions begin to appear..."
Erwin could no longer utter comprehensible words, he could only howl like a trapped beast on the verge of death.
The king remained unmoved and continued, "Finally, the Mother of Life or something else will come. Everything in the world will become one."
This is what Mark said before he transformed.
Erwin suddenly raised his hand, as if he wanted to use his shattered fractured hand to plug the eye, but the dwarf stepped on him: "No, no, you can't do this. Our Great Wisdom hasn't finished asking questions yet."
Wang: "As for where your headquarters is, I guess - this is it!"
He suddenly took out the wooden photo frame and showed the church on it.
With a click, Erwin bit off his tongue before anyone could react, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
Wang: "Healing spell! No, secondary restoration spell! Connect the tongue first!"
The dwarf pushed the king away and began to cast a spell.
A minute later, the dwarf shook his head. "It's no use. The blood spurted from the tongue blocked the trachea and flowed into the alveoli. We are one step too late."
Bruce said in a loud voice from a distance: "We don't have a second resurrection scroll."
Wang looked very satisfied. "We have gained something. This proves that our next step is correct. I originally thought that this photo frame was a place that he had a deep memory of in his childhood, but the fact is that this place is the cult of the Mother of Life."
Marika immediately retorted: "The cult was so careful not to expose themselves, how could they allow this photo frame..."
Wang: "Because the frame was carved by Erwin himself, he may have carved out this impressive place based on a feeling, but even he himself doesn't know where it is. The prohibition may generate a false memory to cover up the truth, such as this is the orphanage where he stayed in his childhood.
"The people who are responsible for monitoring him may be peripheral members of the cult, and they don't know where these cult members who can obtain the true power of the Mother of Life are trained."
Marika nodded seriously.
Wang continued, "Even if...even if this speculation is wrong, Erwin's reaction just now cannot be false. This place must have a deep connection with that cult. We must be right to look for this place."
Xiaobai: "Then let's go! Let's eat our way across the continent!"
Wang also laughed, but everyone else had a stern face.
At this time, Bruce spoke up: "I'm afraid we can't let you leave like this. Because Elizabeth Langdon is a member of the Langdon family, she should be ready to serve the family at any time."
Chapter 70 Home is behind you, and the world is in front of you
Wang turned to face Bruce: "About this matter..."
Elizabeth stepped forward and said, "Brother! The king is the disciple of that master. Isn't it in the best interests of the Langdon family for me to take risks with him?"
Bruce Langdon sat back in his chair, looked at his sister with a half-smile, picked up the wine glass on the table and shook it, saying, "You have to marry him, it is in the best interests of the family. Why don't you let the archmage use the scroll given to him by the teacher to ask his teacher whether he will accept the marriage proposal?"
Wang: "I definitely won't accept it, no need to ask. My teacher hates parents - elders decide marriages. He believes that all love should happen naturally and is sacred and cannot be interfered with."
After Bruce got the answer, he looked at Elizabeth and said, "Then my dear sister, ask the king if he is willing to have a sacred and uninterrupted love with you?"
Wang: "Of course I am willing, but my body objectively denies that possibility."
Bruce laughed.
Elizabeth: "Well...if the journey is long, it's not impossible!"
Wang: "No, according to Xiaobai, you seem to have some feelings for me as well..."
Elizabeth: "I didn't! So it's possible!"
"No way, I do."
"You! Do you still want to take me on the trip?"
"Yes, so listen to me..."
"Shut up! I'm trying to convince my brother. This is crucial!" Elizabeth took a few steps forward and walked directly into the inner circle of the round table. She ran straight to Bruce and slammed her hands on the table. "Brother! Do you really need me as a tool for marriage?"
Bruce answered in seconds: "It is necessary. Our situation is not stable now. You didn't listen to the trial so you don't know. The crown will not fall into our hands immediately. In fact, those guys seem to be planning to write off all of Dad's efforts. Do you understand?
"The old fox in our family is dead. Although I have stabilized the situation with decisive actions and frightened the other old foxes, those guys will definitely want to fight with us after returning to their nests. Who wouldn't covet the crown of the empire?"
Elizabeth demanded, "Who are you going to marry me to then?"
"I will marry whoever offers the highest price. You are the most beautiful woman in Kusania and you are famous. Look at your silver hair. Did you know that there are people selling forged hair of yours? A handful of hair can be sold for a hundred gold coins. You are also a warlock, that's great." Bruce grabbed Elizabeth's silver hair and rubbed it as if he was evaluating the quality of a hemp rope.
Wang: “Well…”
Elizabeth turned back sharply: "I'm trying my best! Can you please stop making trouble, you idiot!"
At this time Marika came forward and said, "My Lord Duke, do you think that an assassin or an intelligence expert whom you can completely trust can be as valuable as Elizabeth?"
Bruce sneered, "Zhoer, are you overestimating your worth? We are talking about the second heir to the Landon Territory, the most beautiful person in Kusaniya, and a warlock."
Elizabeth anxiously grabbed Marika's hand and said, "No, you can't go anywhere! We need wanderers! If you had gone to search Erwin's lab, we might have gotten more information!"
Wang: "So, let me..."
Elizabeth turned around and said, "Can you please stop making trouble? It's busy here!"
Wang frowned slightly: "You have already failed to persuade him with emotion, it is better to persuade him with reason."
"In this case," Bruce looked at Wang, "you should say, 'Shut up and let me do the talking!'"
