Wang: "Did you fall asleep while leading the way?"
"I just slept for a while when there were no forks in the road. Don't worry, we didn't go the wrong way."
Xiao Bai shouted, "The rabbit has been killed and the internal organs have been taken out. Who will roast it? I can't control the heat well and it will burn!"
Chapter 81: Night raids are common during the adventure
night.
Wang looked at the rabbit meat sizzling on the skewer and suddenly said, "Don't you think it's too quiet?"
Marika looked around and said, "No, the sound of insects is normal."
Wang: "I mean, no one is talking. It's very quiet. Even Flint doesn't talk much anymore."
The dwarf took a puff of his cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and then said leisurely: "I only talk a lot when I have wine or when I am fighting. You see, I don't talk much when I am riding a horse, right?"
Wang: "Are you sure it's not because you're afraid of biting your tongue when you open your mouth?"
Shorty: "I'm just not used to riding a horse! I'm not afraid!"
"Then your horrified tone must be an act," Marika said as she tore off the rabbit's right hind leg and handed it to Xiaobai, "You eat the biggest one, the rabbit you caught."
Xiaobai was overjoyed: "Ahaha! Give me more spices!"
Marika grabbed the spices and rubbed them on the rabbit legs.
Elizabeth: "Druids actually like to eat roasted rabbit legs with spices."
Marika: "Druids are masters of using natural spices. The druid I met before was very good at cooking and could even make an elephant mastiff into a delicacy."
The king frowned: "Isn't that a magical beast?"
Marika: "He even claims he can cook the Shifter."
The wizard was ecstatic: "I hope to meet this very insightful master, and I think if I tell this news to my teacher, he will be very happy to invite him to the Wizard Tower as a visiting professor to teach us how to cook magical beasts."
Marika didn’t expect the topic to go in this direction. She thought for a few seconds with her mouth open and said, “Okay, I’ll introduce you to him when I meet him again.”
Xiao Bai was concerned about something else. While chewing the rabbit leg, she asked, "What does the elephant mastiff taste like?"
Marika frowned. "It tastes terrible. The druid's spices are the only thing that covers up the stench."
Xiaobai: "You just said to make it into a delicacy."
Marika: “That’s a… uh, figure of speech.”
Xiaobai didn't care. It seemed that after knowing that the elephant mastiff was not delicious, she lost interest in the topic.
Marika began to share the rest of the rabbit with everyone.
Elizabeth seemed a little embarrassed holding the rabbit meat. Wang, who was eating the meat openly, asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Are you allergic to rabbit meat?"
"No!" Elizabeth sighed, "I'm not used to eating meat like this without a knife and fork."
After saying that, she also began to try to bite one side of the rabbit leg, trying to tear off a piece of meat.
However, as soon as she exerted force, the melted fat dripped from the crack and landed on her secondary sexual characteristics.
"Ah!" Elizabeth screamed in shock from the burns.
Xiaobai looked at the leg in her hand which was also sizzling with oil, and seemed to be wondering why she was not burned, then she looked down.
Xiaobai: "Hahahaha! You're a burden!"
Elizabeth took out her handkerchief and wiped it desperately, but the hot oil had left a red spot on her skin, which was as white as her hair.
Wang stared at the red spot and suddenly snapped his fingers: "I understand! This is using contrast to enhance the impression! I have a deeper understanding of the iris pattern!"
Everyone else stopped and looked at the ecstatic wizard.
Elizabeth felt very aggrieved: "You... I was burned so painfully, and you were thinking about your spell?"
Wang: "It will be of great benefit to our adventure if I can master the fourth-level spells as soon as possible. Of course, I must hurry up and improve my understanding of spells. We still have a world to save."
Elizabeth: "Me!"
Because the wizard was speaking the truth, she couldn't refute it!
Flint: "It seems that the awesome Mage Tower didn't teach our mages how to be gentle with women."
Wang: "I know what it means to be gentle with women. But this is just a burn. A rejuvenation spell won't leave any marks. Maybe it won't need rejuvenation spells. It will recover naturally tomorrow."
Xiao Bai held the rabbit leg and said, "If I were you, I would bite him!"
Elizabeth opened her mouth, as if she really intended to follow Xiaobai's advice, but in the end she said nothing and turned her attention to the rabbit's legs.
Wang: "And through what happened in the past, my perception of Elizabeth has changed. She is not a naive sorcerer, but a responsible and brave noblewoman. I think it's just a burn, and she will get over it without hesitation."
Elizabeth's mood improved instantly, and she even smiled: "You're right, it's just a burn. I don't care at all, you see, just wipe it off! It's all my fault for being inexperienced and not knowing how to eat meat."
As she spoke, she pressed her secondary sexual characteristics with one hand, stretched her neck to make sure she would not be burned again, and tore off a piece of flesh.
She chewed the meat carefully and swallowed it before saying, "Malika, this meat is very delicious."
The king was very proud: "See! I told you! You think Elizabeth is too delicate! She is a saint standing on the carriage, emitting heat rays to protect the people! It's just a drop of oil, what's the big deal! She has seen a lot of storms!"
Elizabeth's mouth was grinning from ear to ear, but the wizard was telling others about Elizabeth's bravery and didn't notice.
Wang: "And during the day at the Watergate, I didn't think I could mobilize the angry crew! This was my blind spot in thinking! Looking back now, I should have thought of it. Elizabeth's approach has benefited me a lot!"
Marika looked at the princess and blinked: "Your Highness, laugh if you want to."
Elizabeth: "No! He's exaggerating. I'm not that good. Hehehehe, that's too much! Give me another piece of rabbit meat."
Marika pulled out a dagger, cut a piece of meat that could be chewed directly, and stabbed Elizabeth with the dagger.
Elizabeth ate with great relish, as if her appetite had increased a lot.
The wizard returned to the previous topic: "Although the princess's secondary sexual characteristics have always attracted my attention, the redness just now doubled the attraction!"
Elizabeth choked and cried out, "Water! Marika, water!"
Marika quickly gave her the water, and at the same time she dropped her work of carving the meat and ran behind her to pat her back gently.
Seeing this, the barbarian immediately took over the burden of dividing the meat, and he dismembered the remaining rabbit with skillful techniques.
Wang continued, "This doubling effect can obviously be used on the fourth-level spell, Rainbow Pattern. I am sure that when I am strong enough to cast the fourth level, the effect of Rainbow Pattern will be very strong."
The dwarf took the meat handed over by the barbarian, took a bite and said while chewing: "To be honest, if it weren't for your wonderful flattery just now that made Miss Langdon feel better, I would have felt sorry for her."
Wang: "Her current behavior is just a manifestation of pure carnal desire. If she really falls in love with me, then it would be really pitiful."
Elizabeth: "I don't want to fuck you!"
Wang: "Well, although I am not familiar with these things, physiology does not lie. Unless you are not a human female."
Seeing that Elizabeth's mood was falling to the bottom again, Marika hurriedly changed the subject: "Speaking of which! I think the reason why the Master felt so quiet just now was mainly because we don't have a bard. At times like this, the bard would play the piano, sing some ballads, and tell stories about strange things in different places, so that everyone would not be so bored."
Wang: "Your idea makes sense. Unfortunately, now that we are famous, we have to be careful of spies when recruiting team members. I guess we can only add new members through various coincidences and accidents in the future to minimize the possibility of betrayal."
Marika: “Agreed.”
Barbarian: “High!”
Dwarf: "You can also try to find an old friend of mine. I know a very good bard, a half-elf. He is very experienced and may be able to recognize the location of the photo frame directly."
Wang: "Very good, do you know where he is now?"
Dwarf: "He has settled in the Shire Hills of the Halflings. Only there will he be accepted. He is a half-elf after all, and in many places he is as hated as a tiefling."
Wang: "Are you really not saying this just to go to the Shire Hills and drink the strong liquor there?"
"Strong liquor is also a factor. But my half-elf buddy does live there." The dwarf shrugged.
King: "Well, if we don't have a bard by then, we'll go to the Shire and see."
At this time, Elizabeth finished the meat in her hand and yawned.
Marika: "Go to sleep quickly. We have to travel tomorrow. The road is all mountainous and it will be bumpy all the way. It won't be comfortable."
Elizabeth turned her head and looked at the king: "Do you...need a lap pillow?"
"Then you won't be able to sleep? It was Marika who carried you to the bed last time." Wang shook his head, "No, it won't work. And this time we have sleeping bags."
Xiaobai: "I don't like sleeping bags. I want to sleep on rocks."
Wang: "Okay. You need to be close to nature. I understand."
After saying that, Wang Ye yawned, he ate a few bites of the meat he had just been given, and said, "I'm sleepy too, so good night."
**
As agreed, Marika took charge of the vigil tonight.
Around the early morning, Xiaobai, who was lying in a spread-eagle position on the bed, suddenly turned over and looked around alertly.
Marika was about to react when she also heard the noise from the alarm trap she had set.
The drow yelled, "Enemy! Get up!"
The wizard reacted very quickly. He got up directly and touched the dimensional bag before even opening his eyes.
The next moment, he took out the glow stick.
Marika had anticipated this and simply turned her head to avoid the direct sunlight from the stick.
The attackers were not so lucky.
The sudden bright light blinded their eyes, causing the first round of arrows to miss the target.
An arrow fell in front of Wang's feet, and the crisp sound immediately made him wake up completely.
Then he decided to cast invisibility, and in a blink of an eye the material appeared: a lump of gelatin, inside which were Elizabeth's beautiful eyelashes.
But he immediately remembered that he was holding a glow stick. Invisibility was not as good as advanced invisibility, and the glow stick in his hand would definitely break his invisibility.
Throw the stick away, and it will float next to you again, like a signpost, and people can just shoot arrows according to it.
Wang threw away the gelatin and began to cast the Mirror Image spell. Although this spell could be discovered by someone and was not as direct as the Invisibility Spell, it was better than nothing.
Other mages might choose to protect themselves from arrows or something, after all, they knew that the enemy's main means of attack was bows and arrows, but Wang - he couldn't cast a protective spell!
As soon as the mirror image appeared, one of it was immediately obscured. If many archers had not yet recovered from the strong light, the situation might have been dangerous.
Seeing this, the giant bear that was beating up the enemy changed back to human form and cast a wind wall to protect the mage. But the wind wall could only block attacks from one side!
