Bernard did not stop him, but pressed his hand on his left chest where his heart was. "I wish you a safe journey, Master. As long as the Melward family still has bloodline left in the world, we will remain your loyal servants."
Wang was stunned for a moment: "What the hell? I just cured your insomnia."
Bernard smiled slightly. "Not only that. You also restored my confidence. I was tortured by nightmares before and almost lost my will to resist. But seeing you remain so calm in the face of a powerful enemy, I also calmed down, as if I had gained courage and confidence from you."
Wang: "That's an illusion. I don't have that ability. I'm not a paladin. Only paladins have courage and aura..."
Bernard laughed heartily, jumped on his horse, and led the team away in high spirits.
The third prince Audi who followed him did not leave, but came over to the king and said, "Can you... take my brother, Oscar, with you?"
King: "No, we have to save the world and don't have time to take care of a little prince."
The third prince looked at his sister Rosalie for help.
Rosalie: "Don't you know? No one can shake the will of the wizard."
Xiaobai: "Unless you tell him that there are interesting things over there among the orcs."
Audie Myhrvold frowned: "Fun stuff?"
Rosalie: "Like something like the puzzle in the tower of the White City."
Nini: "Or some new magic."
Although Wang didn't say anything, he was not in a hurry to leave. It was obvious that he also wanted to know if there were any "interesting things" on the orcs' side.
Audi suddenly had an idea: "Wait a minute! The shadow thief secretly captured a careless necromancer who set up some kind of magic on the crossbow position that blocked the waterway. The shadow thief brought him back - the orcs have been negligent in their vigilance, which is normal.
"As for the warning magic set by the mage himself, the Shadow Thief is an expert in dealing with this kind of magic. Only another Wanderer Master can deal with the Shadow Thief's infiltration."
Prince Audi glanced at Marika as he said this.
Marika just looked away with an expression that said, "Don't look at me, I don't know you."
Wang: "Don't talk about anything else, just tell me what happened to this necromancer!"
Xiaobai's ears stood up and his tail wagged: "Look! He's interested!"
Audi: "The Shadow Thieves are an organization that never interrogates people in a reasonable way. The necromancer confessed everything in a few moves. He said that it was a legendary ritual spell prepared by their teacher, and once it was set up, it would take effect on the entire city of Prominos. But before he could talk about the effect, he exploded and died."
Wang stroked his chin. "A legendary spell, effective throughout the city...but his teacher is dead, how can this spell still be effective? Is there a lag in the information?"
Audi: "It seems that the spell has been cast, and the subsequent arrangement and deployment do not require the participation of the caster himself."
"Orem's Soul Focus." Wang immediately reported the name of the spell. "There are a few other options, but since the opponent is a lich, this should be it. Drawing souls fits their identities. They can't be trying to use Ashley's Eternal Summer to make Minos summer all year round, right?"
Audi: “You actually knew that!”
"Of course I know. No one in the Mage Tower can compare to me when it comes to rote memorization. My teacher even uses me as a spell checker and asks me about spells he doesn't remember."
Audi: "So how do we stop this spell from taking effect?"
Wang: "You need to attack. The location where the Necromancer appears is the key node. Take the initiative to attack and kill the Necromancer. Destroy all the magic marks and runes you can see on the node, and you can prevent this spell from being activated."
Suddenly, the king stopped and said, "Wait a minute, didn't I just hear a report from the sound transmission stone saying that orcs climbed up the city wall with magic devices and were doing something?"
Nini and Xiaobai answered in unison: "Yes."
The king looked at Audi and said, “Then you must retake the city wall as soon as possible. The magic device should be some kind of fast magic engraving machine. If you can leave enough usable nodes on the city wall, this spell can also be activated.
“The effect will be weaker. People with stronger willpower, such as paladins, can resist the extraction of their souls. They can also resist in places like Lancelot’s sanctuary where there is direct protection from the gods.
"My suggestion is to evacuate the women and children into the church just in case. Also, you can let the mage use the spell of sanctuary. The priest's summoning holy light can also resist the spell effect to a certain extent.
"Are the orcs attacking all the walls?"
As soon as he asked this, the emperor replied from a distance: "No, we will only attack the northeastern wall."
Apparently the emperor was also listening to this conversation.
Wang: "Then they may plan to complete the engraving in several times."
Audi: "What if we destroy the node afterwards?"
Wang: "You can try the Nine-Ring Mage Disintegration spell if you have one. Only this one can unlock it. After all, Orim's Soul Focus is a legendary spell, and only the Nine-Ring Mage can unlock it."
Audi: "Is that... an advanced version of lysis?"
"No, no, no, no!" Wang said no several times.
“It looks similar in name, but Disintegration is an offensive spell that turns the target into a pile of green powder.
"This mage's disintegration spell will not cause harm to any living creature, I mean, living creatures that are not summoned by spells.
"This spell will destroy all magic items in the range except the ones you carry, and has a chance to destroy artifacts. It also works on magical effects in the area, and all magic effects except the 'Anti-Magic Field' will be shattered."
Wang paused and said, "If you have a nine-ring spellcaster, you can let him give it a try."
Audi: “Unfortunately, no.”
King: "Come on, we're going to make it. If the wyverns are dropping orc infantry, they won't be able to stop us. Let's escape..."
The dwarf suddenly said, "What about the crew members on the Star Chaser? Didn't you have a lot of fun chatting with them? They also respected you very much."
The wizard was about to leave, but suddenly stopped.
Everyone stared at his back.
The mage turned around and touched the heart of his left hand: "I have a question. I feel a twitching pain in this spot. Is this normal?"
Flint laughed with a triumphant expression, "You see, Kailin is a good god. Even though he's very unreliable, he's a good god. He won't associate with truly evil people! I knew you would come back!"
Wang: "No, no, no, don't worry, I'm exploring the problem. I don't think this heart twitching is a physiological problem.
"Because I silently counted my heartbeats, they were normal, the amplitude and intervals were normal, so I could rule out the possibility that there was something wrong with my heart.
"This should be a phantom pain caused by psychological factors."
Marika suddenly spoke up: "Just think about it. When Elizabeth wakes up and finds out that because of your choice, the crew of the Star Chaser had their souls extracted by the lich, how sad she will be."
The king looked at the sky.
"Well," he said, "I need a plan. One that will thwart the lich's scheme."
"Great!" Xiao Bai clapped his hands. "Although I agree with your decision to run away, I still feel uncomfortable!"
Gao Trick was also clapping his hands, extremely excited. It was unclear whether it was because he could cut open the orcs' heads or if he was simply happy about this event.
Nini: "It's strange, I'm not surprised by your reaction."
Marika: "He's the man Elizabeth wants to sleep with."
Rosalie obviously didn't know the king as well as the others. She looked at the wizard in surprise and looked at him carefully again.
And her brother, the third prince Audie Myhrvold drew his sword and raised it high: "Oh oh oh oh oh!"
The other knights also drew their swords, pointed them at the sky and shouted together.
Amid the knights' shouts, a huge group of dwarves appeared at the other end of the street.
Leading the way was old Louis, who was wearing a piece of armor that obviously no longer fit him. His big belly made the front of the armor bulge out as a whole, and there was a big slit on the side, through which the wrinkles on his belly could be seen.
"My son just eavesdropped on all your conversations, and he came over to tell me." Old Louis waved his hammer and said, "Well, it's true that I'm not very good at it. After all, I've only been forging iron and not cutting holes in these years. But...if the whole city is doomed, we will choose to fight."
After saying that, Old Louis suddenly raised his voice: "My hammer is with you!"
The other dwarves roared together.
The humans seemed to be competing with the dwarves and started shouting too!
The deafening war cry even drowned out the warning horn.
Come to the 853515 live broadcast room on Bilibili and watch me play games!
The live broadcast room is easy to remember, three fives, 853515, usually I will be broadcasting at o'clock
Chapter 130 Doing the opposite
If we want to make a plan, we need intelligence.
The king turned to Audi and said, "You lead the dwarves to the city walls first and defend against the attack. Do not send in the Griffin Knights!"
Audi clenched his right fist and patted the heart position on the chest armor: "As you command."
He turned to the dwarves: "Respected long-bearded veterans! Follow me!"
Old Louis: "You go your way! We are familiar with the roads on the city wall. After all, we are the ones who maintain the siege equipment!!"
The dwarves were about to leave when the king called out to them, "Wait a minute! Is my dragon saddle finished? Finish it first! It's important!"
Old Louis: "Don't worry, we finished it at four o'clock this morning. You can use it anytime you want."
Wang nodded: "Okay, let's go."
Bernard came to the king again, dismounted, and said to his followers: "Leave the herald here, Audi, you take the rest of the people. No guards are needed. This is the strongest team in our city. And the team also has the most powerful wanderers in the city."
He glanced at Marika.
"There is no place safer than this." The emperor said firmly.
The third prince saluted again and left with his troops.
Bernal asked, "Now, Master, what do you need me to do?"
The king was not ambiguous and pointed directly at the emperor and said, "First of all, I need a secret room that cannot be eavesdropped on or leaked."
Bernal: "I have a secret room like this in my study."
Wang: “Is the space big?”
"It's pretty big."
"Then have someone take the sound transmission stones of the generals you trust from your communications headquarters and put them in the secret room. At the same time, have these generals only keep their trusted confidants by their side, ready to execute orders at any time."
Bernard turned his head and said, "Did you hear that? Do you want me to repeat it? Go and pass the message!"
Several messengers left immediately, leaving only the messenger holding the voice stone.
Bernal: “And then?”
Wang: "Intelligence, call your most trusted intelligence officer here and make sure he can answer whatever I ask."
Bernal: "Look for the voice stone of the Shadow Thief leader. I want to talk to him."
"I'm already here." A man suddenly appeared from the shadows, with his arms folded across his chest, staring at Marika, but the drow was not surprised at all.
