Elizabeth: "What should I do? I am so disappointing. My love is over..."

Marika: "Don't give up! The idiot will eventually come to his senses! He can't always take the teacher's teachings as the golden rule! Growth is a process of gradually becoming equal to his former idols!"

Elizabeth didn't answer, but buried her face in Marika's arms.

Xiao Bai sat on the bed, holding a piece of meat in his mouth, drooling as he asked incoherently: "So what are you arguing about? Fighting for the initiative? It doesn't matter what happens. After the baby is born, he can't feed it anyway, so you still have to take care of it."

Marika turned her head and looked at Xiaobai: "Why... why are you talking so maturely? How old are you?"

Xiao Bai patted his chest and said, "I have experienced 24 seasons!"

Elizabeth looked up in surprise: "Are you this old? I should call you sister!"

Xiaobai raised his head and swung his tail back and forth: "Hehehe!"

Elizabeth: "You're older than that idiot, too."

Xiao Bai stopped and said suspiciously, "How is that possible? Da Congming is so smart, how could he be younger than me? Are you kidding me?"

Marika explained, "Druids don't have an education system. They rely mainly on feeling nature, so generally speaking, the older the druid, the more powerful they are, because they feel nature more deeply as they get older. So this guy probably used this experience to understand the mage."

Xiaobai: "Don't mages acquire spells by feeling books? Then old mages must have read a lot of books, right?"

Elizabeth had almost recovered by this time. She explained to Xiaobai seriously, "It's different for everyone. Some people have photographic memories and can read and understand books very quickly. Others can't get the point even after reading for a long time."

Xiaobai nodded: "Yeah, that's it."

Suddenly, Xiaobai's wagging tail stopped.

The next moment, she stretched her neck and swallowed the meat in her mouth.

Then her tail started wagging at three times the speed!

Xiaobai: "I'm getting hungry! This bean isn't that filling! I want to eat meat!"

As she said this, she picked up the bottle of water next to her, gulped down all the remaining water in it, and jumped off the bed.

Marika: "I'm beginning to worry about our supplies in the future."

Xiaobai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm too lazy to hunt now. Anyway, I still have meat to eat. After I finish eating the meat on the boat, I will go hunting by myself. Then not only will I be guaranteed to have enough meat to eat, but I can also let you eat some."

At this time there was a knock on the door.

Marika: "If it's the king, you should wait a little longer."

Elizabeth: "I need to change my clothes!"

The wizard outside replied, "Remember not to change to those who are not easy to move. Although we may meet the nobles of the Valley Territory today, we must be prepared considering the possibility of a battle. Xiaobai should also prepare spells today. Let her bring at least one rejuvenation spell."

Xiao Bai cried out in pain, "Oh no! I just remembered to meditate and prepare a spell! How can I meditate when I'm so hungry?"

Elizabeth: "Eat quickly, and then come back to meditate. The battle shouldn't happen so soon."

Xiaobai stared at Elizabeth for a few seconds and said, "No, Dacongming is right, but your prediction is unreliable. I'd better meditate."

As if to protest against her brain's decision, her stomach made a loud growling sound. It seemed that fasting all day yesterday had really made her stomach very hungry.

But Xiaobai sat back firmly on the bed which was wet with her saliva, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Elizabeth and Marika looked at each other, and Marika whispered, "Let's change clothes quietly."

Xiaobai: "No, I'm super focused. Feel free to change."

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Marika said with a hint of anger, "What?"

The king's voice came from outside: "I suggest that Elizabeth should not wear a wide collar and cover herself tightly."

Elizabeth frowned and objected loudly: "Your spellcasting will not be affected by this at all. I have never seen you fail in casting a spell!"

Wang: "This is just in case. After all, I have learned something new today. What material is that nightgown made of? It looks like silk from the East. It's really soft and fits the curves perfectly."

Elizabeth's face turned red. All the years of court etiquette training could not overcome her shame at this moment.

What made her most angry was that the wizard outside spoke in the tone of an old farmer choosing a horse to pull a cart in the market.

Just as she was about to speak, Xiao Bai took a deep breath and yelled, "You guys are so noisy! I'm meditating!"

**

Forty minutes later, Elizabeth, wearing a thick sorcerer's robe, boarded the deck of the Star Chaser with other girls.

Wang saw her dressed like this and asked casually, "Aren't you hot?"

Elizabeth's temples immediately showed blue veins: "Who told me to wrap it tightly?"

Wang: "I am. But this is too strict. You will get heat stroke later. After all, early summer is almost over and midsummer is coming. We are still heading southeast and it will get hotter and hotter."

Elizabeth said unhappily, "Next time, can you tell me what to wear?"

Wang: "Is that okay? Then I'll take a look at all your clothes later. Don't worry, I'll pick a robe that's cool and won't overly highlight your secondary sexual characteristics."

Just when Elizabeth was about to faint from the idiocy, Marika interrupted and said, "Actually, there is a good way. Sometimes our sisters in the drow elves have similar problems, so they have a way to suppress overly obvious features. The trick is..."

King: "Cut it off? I only know that some barbarian tribes do this, I didn't know that the drow also have this custom. Even if you lose the ability to feed your children, you still want to fight for the tribe. You are really a respectable woman."

Gotrek: "Go!"

Marika rolled her eyes at Wang and said, "No, the trick is to wrap it up with a cloth strip. As long as the cloth strip is breathable enough, it will be very refreshing."

Elizabeth looked frightened. "Won't it be hard to breathe? The corset alone is too much for me to bear. I don't think I can handle anything stronger than that..."

Marika: “This requires a special technique, and I happen to be good at it.”

Wang: "Then let's do it quickly. Her current outfit is still dark red, which will absorb a lot of heat in the sun. I'm afraid she will get a heat stroke. We need the warlock's firepower."

When Elizabeth heard this, she stopped being angry for a moment, but immediately became even angrier: "I'm just a siege crossbow, right?"

Wang: "No, the siege crossbow is more powerful than you, at least for now."

Marika dragged Elizabeth, who was about to say something, downstairs.

The dwarf beside him said sympathetically: "Our eldest daughter is so pitiful, she fell in love with a fool like you."

Wang: "She wants to fuck me, how can she like me? Xiaobai, have you finished preparing the spell?"

Xiaobai was gnawing on a duck leg and just nodded when he heard this.

"Come, cast the rejuvenation spell on me."

The werewolf girl reluctantly moved the chicken leg to her left hand, stretched her neck and swallowed the meat in her mouth, then used her free mouth to make gestures with her right hand to cast a spell.

The dwarf looked at the Rejuvenation Master wrapped in the breeze and muttered, "Why do you need Rejuvenation? Can't my Healing Light Wounds work just as well?"

Wang: "Because your treatment for minor injuries can only be used once."

The dwarf was shocked: "Why, do you want to try a few more times?"

"Of course, in order to ensure the credibility of the experimental results, we need to conduct multiple experiments to obtain the average value." As Wang said this, he picked up the dagger next to him, opened the lampshade of the wind and rain lamp, and carefully roasted the blade of the dagger with the burning wick.

Then he gently scratched his hand and carefully observed the healing process.

Wang: "Experiment 1, the arm healed normally, no scabs or other growths were observed. Next we will conduct experiment to increase the depth of the wound."

At this time, Xiao Bai, who was eating a chicken drumstick next to him, asked curiously: "Why don't you catch a bird or a fish to try?"

Wang said seriously, "Because I have not observed the healing process of birds or fish. I only know my own."

Xiaobai: "I have observed it. Ask me."

The scene suddenly became very awkward.

The dwarf laughed very loudly: "Hahahahaha!"

The king put down the knife awkwardly and said, "You... are right. It was my negligence. Then, Lord Druid, please help me catch a bird."

Xiaobai: "I want to eat."

Wang: "This is of great significance in dealing with the crisis of world destruction. Through this experiment, we can determine the scope of the positive energy influence and then find out whether we must go through the ritual of slaughtering cats and dogs..."

Xiaobai: "Wait until I finish eating."

Wang: "The ship is moving forward. We have just entered the River Valley Territory. If the change in positive energy has also affected this side, we need to determine the scope as soon as possible so that we can know whether the injuries in the battle require recovery through recovery techniques."

Xiaobai looked at Wang: "I don't understand, is it really important?"

Wang: "It's very important. For example, if we are out of range, a minor injury like a broken finger bone can be restored with a rejuvenation spell as long as the bone is completely pieced together along the fracture surface. But if we are within the range, a secondary restoration spell is needed, otherwise there will be strange things growing."

The dwarf chimed in: "I didn't prepare any divine spells this morning, so I don't know how many lesser restoration spells I should bring."

Xiaobai put his legs in his arms and nodded: "Leave it to me."

(*) Here I would like to say a little more about why a duke's daughter is a princess. In fact, this involves a difference between the East and the West. When we translate here, we distinguish between a duke's daughter and a king's daughter or even an emperor's daughter, but in the West, they are all princesses...

For example, the famous Princess Sissi in history was actually just the daughter of a duke.

Chapter 75 Trap

By the time Elizabeth had wrapped up her "bulletproof exterior" and changed into a thinner robe and came up, several people on the deck were concentrating on studying the bird on the ground.

Elizabeth: "What are you doing? Cockfighting?"

Wang: "After ten repeated experiments, we have confirmed one thing. The mutation of positive energy has only appeared in Landon Territory. There is no such tendency in River Valley Territory. Positive energy still plays a healing role as in the past."

As he spoke, the druid said something to the bird, and it flew back to nature.

Elizabeth looked serious. "So what happened to cats and dogs is the main cause of this phenomenon? Is the cult we are facing the kind that intends to destroy the world through evil rituals?"

The king shook his head. "It's not clear yet. I won't judge a cult until I actually capture and interrogate one of its minions. And we have more pressing things to worry about right now."

The mage looked at the steep slopes on both sides.

Wang: "So that's how it is. That's why this place is called the River Valley Territory. This is the valley cut out by the Lai En Lan River in the Matrao Hengduan Mountains."

The dwarf said disdainfully: "You still dare to call this a mountain range? It's just a higher hill! The mountains in the Mountain Kingdom are the real mountains, the World Mountains!"

Marika: "Most of the Valley Territory is mountainous and hilly, with only a small plain in the west, which is connected to the plain where the southwest war took place. Because it is all mountainous, the Valley Territory has no agricultural products, and can only rely on valleys and terraces to barely feed the current population.

"This used to be a wealthy mining country, but as more and more mines were dug, they eventually penetrated the underground kingdom of the cave dwellers, and that was it. The population of the Valley Territory definitely cannot muster an army to wipe out the cave dwellers.

"They wanted to hire someone to do the dirty work, but the Duke's family didn't expect that their financial resources would suddenly stop, so they didn't save any money. So in the end, River Valley Territory fell into this state."

Elizabeth added, "When I was studying the history of Kusania, I learned that the commercial income of the Valley Territory was originally comparable to ours, because many people bought ore from them. After the ore was gone, merchant ships stopped staying in the Valley Territory. Then they built the water gate."

Wang said "Oh", and then asked with great interest: "There is a caveman kingdom underground? I never knew that cavemen were a feudal race."
