Nini: "By the way, the teacher has opened the fourth ring. He himself confirmed that he should be able to cast the illusion-type Phantom Killer."

"Phantom Killer!" Flint exclaimed again, "That's a spell that kills without leaving any trace. Has he really mastered it?"

The opening of a circle for a mage is different from that for a priest. For a priest, after the gods have opened a new circle, you can use the new magic at will. For a mage, as his knowledge grows, he will comprehend a specific spell.

It often happens that mages work hard to learn a certain area of ​​knowledge in order to cast a certain spell, but accidentally learn by analogy and eventually comprehend other spells.

And the higher the level of the spell, the more this is true.

Flint: "So we have a fourth-ring mage! It's a pity that he didn't learn some useful spells of the fourth-ring mage, so he can only use the Phantom Killer to kill one person. Not bad."

Nini: "No, when he channeled the energy to infuse the energy core, his understanding of the energy-shaping spells improved, but I don't know which spell he mastered."

Flint: "Carliss Newman! This wizard is the killing machine in our team. He can also use that staff to give the fourth-ring elemental energy to - wait, I just noticed that the thing that has been dazzling me is not the dragon head staff!"

Nini put Wang on the sofa and took out the Cyclops Energy Nuclear Staff from behind.

Dwarf: "Isn't this the thing we got from the Fetal Movement Hall? Did you turn this into a divine weapon, Master?"

"No, I didn't feel the magic surge and aura that are common in artifacts. The light you saw was just pure light, not aura."

Dwarf: "He used this to turn Fireball into Sunburst?"

"Correct."

The dwarf looked at the wizard who was sleeping soundly on the sofa and said, "My goodness! He is just as his teacher said, he is the darling of fate. I have a feeling that our journey will become the source of countless bards' songs! It will become a great adventure that will be sung by people hundreds of years later!"

Chapter 118: After a nap, I woke up and the city was surrounded

Wang slept for three days.

For the past three days, the barbarians and the dwarves took care of him. The ladies wanted to take care of him, but were driven away by Gotrek.

When the king woke up, all he heard was the loud snoring of the barbarian lying in the bed next to him.

Wang touched his head and sat up, and saw Flint sitting by the window in the corner.

Wang: "Why are you two here? Where's the lap pillow I was looking forward to?"

Flint: "You want to sleep with your knees as a pillow for three days. Either the person you are using as a pillow will have one of his legs sawed off, or your neck will be twisted and can't be straightened."

Wang touched his head and said, "What happened? How many days have I slept?"

Flint: "Don't you remember? You solved a mystery that has been bothering everyone for a long time, and someone set his house on fire because of it, and is ready to take everyone with him."

Wang: "Is there such a thing? That's terrible."

Flint continued as if giving a report: “During the three days you slept, a bunch of conspiracy theorists or agitators emerged, saying that the disappearance of the tower symbolizes the tragic future of Monrovia.

"Bernard arrested a large number of people on the grounds that military situation was urgent and there was no room for second thoughts. Now the execution ground is basically operating at full capacity."

Wang: "Well, the emperor knows how to use severe punishments when facing a powerful enemy."

"The orc troops have definitely crossed the border, but they have not plundered the border lord's territory."

The king frowned. "No looting? Are the ones who attacked really orcs?"

The dwarf got angry and answered slowly, "Everyone is thinking about this question. The mainstream view now is that the orcs may have a stronger overlord than before, and all the troops can obey orders."

Wang: "Wait a minute, I remember that when the wolf riders attacked, they all turned around as soon as the horn sounded. It was indeed... very disciplined."

"Speaking of the Wolf Riders," Flint paused, "Emperor Bernal was injured. He was shot by an arrow while commanding his troops to encircle and suppress the Wolf Riders camp."

Wang: “What?”

"After being shot, he immediately returned to Minos and ordered his military supervisor, the Clover Knight, to continue sweeping the Wolf Cavalry camp."

Wang: "Wait a minute, if you get shot, you can just get some treatment, right? Where's the priest?"

"That's the problem. Even the Archbishop of the Lancelot Temple in the city came to see the emperor's arrow wound, and he still hasn't healed. The Archbishop believes that the emperor might have been shot by some kind of arrow that has been imbued with magic, so the wound has never healed."

King: "The orcs used arrows that were imbued with some kind of magic? Wait a minute, I remember that there are indeed several special arrows that can achieve this effect, such as arrows made from the life crystals of high-level demons in a certain plane."

At this time, the ladies of the team went into the house collectively.

When Elizabeth saw the king, she said in surprise, "You're awake!"

Without saying a word, he acted as if he was going to pounce on him, but Xiaobai was faster. The werewolf whooshed into the wizard's arms and rubbed his face against him.

Xiao Bai: "I was wondering, what would happen if you couldn't get up during this trip? Then no one would tell us what delicious food we had."

Wang: “Is this my value?”

Xiaobai didn't reply, but rubbed hard on Wang's wizard robe.

Elizabeth also came to his bedside: "We have always wanted to take care of you, but Gotrick refused, always saying: 'Men, women, no!'"

Rosalie: "The barbarians seem to have determined that we have other plans for you while you are unconscious."

Wang looked at Rosalie in confusion: "Why did you come in so naturally?"

Flint: "Ah, well, you scared Bernard, so he forced the princess to join our team. After all, we are not as extraordinary as you, and it is not easy to refuse an order from the emperor that has no ill intentions. In addition, Princess Rosalie did give us a lot of convenience, so..."

The dwarf said, shrugging.

Wang: "What convenience did she provide?"

Flint: "At her request, the Royal Institute of Architects convened all the famous architects to study the architectural style in the frame we found. Now we know that this architectural style comes from a place called Isonzo, which is a country in the River Kingdoms with swamps and a dense network of rivers."

Wang said in surprise: "Found it? Then let's set off quickly!"

Rosalie: "Here's the thing. Last night, the orcs surrounded the city of Minos. If you had woken up yesterday morning, we would have left."

The wizard was shocked: "The orcs acted so quickly? Flint just told me that the orcs did not plunder, I thought..."

Flint: "I didn't know the orcs had laid siege to the city last night."

Elizabeth: "Only a small force appeared at the city wall last night. This morning, the main force of orcs arrived. The latest news Rosalie got from the palace is that the main force of orcs has established crossbow positions upstream and downstream of the Masunya River. It is obvious that they have studied the terrain around Minos in advance."

Wang: "Didn't the orcs attack Monrovia thirty years ago? They should know the terrain around this city."

Rosalie: "No, there has never been a record of orcs setting up crossbows to block the river, so Minos City was able to get support through water transportation every time it was besieged."

The king stroked his chin and said, "This is very interesting. The orc king is still an orc. He should have the characteristics of an ordinary orc. Forbidding looting and setting up crossbows on the river bank are not the style of orcs.

"Orcs like 'bigger' and 'stronger' things. Among siege weapons, they only like trebuchets, but trebuchets are definitely not very effective when used to smash moving ships."

Nini: "Indeed, they are completely different from the orcs I know."

Flint: "It's different from what I know!"

The drow suddenly spoke up to announce his presence: "Me too."

Xiaobai: "I'm different. I don't know. Are orcs delicious?"

The king ignored them and was lost in his own thoughts as always: "And then there is the arrow that can't heal wounds. This is very interesting."

Elizabeth: "Anyway, we can't leave now. The Star Seeker can't get past those ballistae. We can only wait for the siege of Minos to end."

Wang: “What are the other things to do?”

Rosalie looked confused, "What to-do list?"

Elizabeth said proudly: "He gave us a to-do list, and finding the Royal Institute of Architects was just the first item on it."

Rosalie: "And a list?"

Nini: "My teacher likes to do things in an organized way."

Wang: “So what about the list?”

Marika: "I visited the Shadow Thieves headquarters, and their intelligence was the same, Isonzo."

Wang: "Then we'll go to Yisongzuo. Other things to do!"

Marika reported again: "The purchase of scrolls and magic equipment was completely fruitless. Because of the upcoming war, all scrolls and magic equipment have been sold. All local vendors, both open and underground, are out of useful equipment and scrolls."

Elizabeth: "I took the lead in organizing a meeting at the Bard Academy, but when those guys saw me, Rosalie, and Nini appearing together, they all rushed to sing praises for the three of us."

She paused and added, "And it's poorly written."

Nini also nodded: "Indeed, it's rotten."

Elves usually don't say something sucks outright, but when they do, it means it really sucks.

Rosalie: "So this is done according to a list. I was wondering why you guys suddenly wanted to go to the Bards Academy."

Wang: "Did you meet any interesting bards?"

"No." All members of the team said in unison.

Elizabeth: "Besides, if you don't wake up, even if we meet a bard who seems to be good, we dare not recruit him."

Nini: "Teacher, you are the darling of fate. We all agree that this kind of thing needs your judgment."

Wang nodded: "A reasonable judgment."

Rosalie: "Don't you know how to write the word modesty?"

The king stood up directly. "Now that the old to-do items are completed, we need new goals. I'm going to go to the city wall to see if we can break through the orcs' siege."

Rosalie was shocked: "Aren't you going to help Minos defend against the orcs' attack?"

The king asked back: "Why should I help? This is your problem, not ours. There are no Minoans in our team."

Rosalie: "What about me? The laundress' hometown doesn't count, does it?"

Wang was silent for a few seconds and said, "But the problem is that Minos City is an immortal city. It will be fine without our help. And we are just a small team with only four-ring spellcasters at most. We have no chance to fight a large-scale war with high-level spellcasters on both sides."

Rosalie: "But you can also perform powerful magic!"

"After I cast that magic, I will just fall into a coma! If I stay, I can only help by turning into a dragon. But do you really need the help of an adult dragon?"

Rosalie said firmly, "No! My hometown is currently in crisis. Please help the people of Minos!"

The king stared at Rosalie for a few seconds and said, "No. If we can't find a way to leave, then in order to avoid being implicated by the city's fall, we will help defend the city. If we find a way to leave, we will leave immediately."

Flint: "You just don't understand our captain. He doesn't respond to your emotional appeals."

Elizabeth added: "Yes, you have to tell him what the benefits are."

Nini: "Or make him curious about something. For example, you can tell him that there is an ancient puzzle or an ancient underground palace among the orcs, and he will be very interested in exploring it."

The team members talked for a while and returned to Flint: "And by the way, I will help you solve the problem of the orcs siege."

Rosalie thought for a moment and suddenly snapped her fingers: "Oh right! You probably haven't heard about it yet. There is a new staff officer beside the Orc Overlord, who might be a lich."
