Wang supported her and put the necklace back in her pocket. "You should get used to it slowly. I suggest that you leave a little gap to let some light in. This way you can get used to having three sources of vision."
Elizabeth: "This necklace is useless to me. How can I kill an adult beholder?"
King: "Rely on the Dwarven Beholder Shield. They won't let you perform this dangerous ritual until you find it. Besides, Beholders are not easy to find."
"What's the use of that to me?"
"There are three instant scorching rays every day! This ray does not require any casting, it is instant!"
"The rays again! Is it my only function to emit rays?"
Wang: "Once you defeat the adult Eye Demon, you will have more than just this one use."
"I……"
The king put his hands on Elizabeth's shoulders and said, "You are the only spontaneous spellcaster in the team. We are in urgent need of strengthening the team's spellcasting ability. And if you wear this, you will have more means to deal with the enemy, and I will feel more at ease."
Elizabeth stared at the king's face for a few seconds before nodding: "Well, okay."
Wang: "As for how to kill the eye demon in the future, it's a good idea to think about it after you find the shield. In fact, you don't have to worry too much. When the eye demon encounters a beauty like you, it will usually just be petrified. You can recover by using the sixth ring of petrification.
"If I hadn't mastered the sixth-level spell at that time, we could have taken your stone statue with us and placed it on the bow as a figurehead or something. That way, you could have continued traveling with us. When you recovered, you could have told me whether you had consciousness and senses in your petrified state."
Silence fell again.
Flint: "If you want to beat him up, go ahead. We understand."
Wang: "I was praising her for being as beautiful as the goddess on the figurehead. The figurehead on our ship is the goddess of water, and she is famous for her beauty among goddesses."
Elizabeth sighed, used her hands to adjust the position of the necklace that had just been stuffed in, and then tidied up her clothes that were still in disarray.
Wang: "Remember to leave some light in, don't block it out completely. You still need to get used to having three eyes."
Elizabeth reluctantly readjusted the position so that the necklace was slightly visible.
"Are you satisfied with this?" she asked.
Wang: "Are you dizzy?"
"It's okay. Having three eyes is not as hard as I thought." The princess said as she turned around on the spot.
Although her steps were a little unsteady, she still completed the lap well.
Wang: "Okay, let's continue to visit the castle."
Xiaobai: "You still want to search?"
Wang: "Of course. Now that we have found a good thing, we will naturally look forward to the next one. Let's go."
As he said this, he took the lead in opening the door on the other side and patted the arm of Gao Trick who was guarding the door: "Okay, follow me."
"Okay!" the barbarian replied.

However, further searches were completely fruitless.
It looks like there are really no treasures left in the Valley Territory.
There was a grand banquet that night, and the earls, viscounts and barons of the Valley Territory all gathered together to celebrate the reopening of the mine.
Even the lords of the plains in the west of the Valley Territory came, because if the territory prospered, the grain, milk, beer and other things produced on their plains could be sold at a good price.
Halfway through the banquet, a bard suddenly came to the main table.
"Dear Princess and Deputy, the great Archmage, and everyone in the salvation team! I have composed a ballad to praise your deeds in saving the Consul of the Valley! A copy of the ballad has been sent to the Bards Academy in Monrovia!
"Now, please allow me to perform for everyone!"
Elizabeth nodded. "Please."
The bard plucked the strings of his harp and began to sing.
He had only sung two lines when the drunk Flint interrupted him: "What are you singing? It's not even as good as the bards from the mercenary group! That's why academic poets are no good! Come, let me sing you a piece!"
As he spoke, the dwarf went over and snatched the bard's lude, and skillfully tuned the strings - one can only say that he is worthy of being Cailin's priest, as he can tap dance and play the lude.
As the dwarf adjusted his instrument, he said, "You bastard, you must have been busy in women's beds all day and didn't really tune your instrument. If our captain were to look for a bard like you, I would definitely object!"
After fixing the harp, the dwarf played a cheerful melody and sang: "Libya~Libya Morettikamo~"
Wang: "This is a toast song of the dwarves. The lyrics roughly mean 'Let us raise our glasses of joy~'"
Flint glared at the wizard and said, "Can you please stop explaining and feel it with your heart!"
Then he went on singing, and the merry melody floated through the hall.
The king continued to say to Elizabeth: "When my uncle drinks, he either sings this song or a song he learned from a certain dimension, 'Oh, young friends, let us meet and drink one cup after another', 'One cup to my hometown and one cup to the distant place'..."
Elizabeth: "I told you not to interrupt."
Wang shrugged.
When Flint finished the song, the audience applauded.
The bard whose harp was taken away asked suspiciously: "Aren't you going to sing praises to the heroic deeds of the salvation team? Isn't this just an ordinary "Drinking Song"? "
Flint: "I am also a member of the Savior Team. How can I boast about myself? I am just showing you how a bard should sing, even though I am not a bard."
Barbarian: “High!”
The dwarf threw the harp back to the bard and picked up the wine glass. "I tuned the harp for you. If you drink this glass with me, it will be considered as payment."
The bard nodded: "Okay, I'll drink with you."
The two clinked their glasses, and the dwarf drank it all in one gulp, while the human bard only drank a little.
The dwarf snorted, "You are a bard. You can't play the harp well, your music is average, your lyrics are not well composed, and you are so fussy about drinking. You will never be a good bard! If I were to give you some advice, I would suggest you start with drinking. What bard doesn't drink?"
The bard retorted in a weak voice: "You are prejudiced. There are all kinds of bards."
"Yes, but there is no boring bard. Don't be fooled by those old bards who can't control their dicks when they see women, and sleep with the maids in the new tavern. But those are just appearances. The most basic requirement to become a bard is to enjoy your journey! Women are just a part of the journey!"
The bard wanted to say something, but the dwarf shook his head and walked away, saying to the colorful members of the Savior Team as he walked, "This bard is no good. The Academy will never become an outstanding bard. Don't look for this kind of trash from the Bard Academy when you get to Monrovia."
Wang: "I told you that we will not recruit new members through open recruitment in the future. This is to avoid any more spies sneaking in. As long as we ourselves don't know when someone will join, there will be no spies!"
Dwarf: "Did you say that? Oh, I think I did. I'm drunk and my head is a little confused. I need another drink to sober up."
As he said this, he took another glass of wine from the tray of a passing waiter and drank it in a heroic manner.

The next morning, Sadik sent someone to inform the rescue team that the Star Chaser was anchored at the outermost berth of the port and could set off downstream at any time.
The king shook his head and said, "I understand. We'll go right after we finish preparing today's spells."
After the messenger left, Flint sat up, holding his head. "Damn it, I drank too much yesterday and now I still have a headache. I think I should be hungover."
He glanced at the wizard who was preparing a spell and asked, "What four-ring magic should I prepare today?"
The king looked up at him and said, "We probably won't encounter any enemies today, so just prepare some conventional spells."
Flint: "Then I'll make the decision myself. You guys should also hurry up and get into the circle. Apart from you, druids should get into the circle by getting close to nature, right?"
Wang: "Perhaps from the perspective of druids, cave dwellers cannot be considered natural creatures, so becoming familiar with the ecology of cave dwellers cannot be considered as increasing our understanding of nature? Moreover, the cave dwellers we have come into contact with are actually monsters transformed by Lamashtu's power."
At this time, Xiao Bai, who was lying on the bed and snoring, suddenly shouted: "Don't take my ham, ham!"
She sat up.
Wang: "Welcome to wake up. Please start preparing today's spells, Xiao Baibai."
Xiaobai didn't reply, but got up, found a piece of cloth and started wiping his face.

By the time the sun reached nine o'clock, the entire rescue team had gotten up and came to the long hall that served as the dining room to eat.
The king asked the priest to carefully examine Elizabeth's health.
After completing a complete examination, the dwarf said to the wizard, "Your Highness is a little weak. It should be due to malnutrition. I must oppose continuing to let Your Highness conduct experiments."
In order to test the function of the soup spoon, Elizabeth has been using the soup made with the spoon to deliver the specialty beans to the Mage Tower these days.
Wang looked down at the soup spoon. "When I saw it could filter out toxins, I thought there might be some nutrition in the soup. Now it seems that this thing can only make our water taste better."
Nini joined the conversation: "It can also remove toxins, I think it's OK."
Wang: "Yes, when we enter the Catalan desert in the future, this spoon will allow us to drink urine without any psychological burden."
All the team members sitting at the long table stopped and looked at the mage.
Wang Ze looked at everyone with surprise and said, "What are you shocked about? Being forced to drink urine during a trip is part of survival. My teacher drank it, so I have to drink it too! And when it comes down to the choice between dying of thirst and drinking urine, you won't have a choice."
Flint: "I'm a priest, I have the spell of creating water. And it's a divine cantrip, I can use it anytime, anywhere."
Silence fell over the long table.
Wang awkwardly said, "Well, what if Flint leaves the team for some reason? Just like Catman. It's better to be prepared!"
Xiaobai: "Are you sure you don't want to drink it?"
"Of course I don't want to! Let's not talk about this anymore. Eat quickly. The Star Chaser is waiting for us."
**
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they simply said goodbye to Deputy Officer Sadik and left the castle.
As soon as the king left the castle, he was shocked because he saw that all the people in Lakeside City had come out of their homes and crowded on the road leading to the port.
After seeing the team members, everyone immediately burst into cheers.
"Those are the heroes who defeated the lich Zammam and saved the Riverdale!"
Wang habitually began to correct: "It's not Zammam, it's Elzam Malcolm, but his name can indeed be shortened to Mum in the future."
Yet no one came to mourn him.
The people continued to discuss excitedly:
"The one riding the wolf is the Archmage King. The word 'king' means king. What about the Archmage King?"
"The one next to her is the queen. I heard from my sister-in-law who married into the Landon Territory that she is a genuine saint. Her portrait is hung in every home in the Landon Territory. It can exorcise evil spirits and cure diseases!"
"A portrait of the Saint costs 50 silver coins!"
"Look at the Saint, her collarbones are inlaid with gold!"
