Xiaobai: "Wait a minute, can you do something so outrageous?"
Wang: "Generally it is impossible. The more outrageous the wish, the higher the possibility of strange results. Sometimes it will even backfire on the person who made the wish. Not having a wish is also a form of wish fulfillment.
"Of course, I promise that I am only restoring the corpse destroyed by the Withering Spell to its original state. This wish is definitely within the scope of the Limited Wish Spell."
Rosalie continued, "You just need an accurate and unambiguous description of your wishes."
Wang: "Yes, so I plan to pray in Dragon Language. Dragon Language has no ambiguity and is extremely accurate. In addition, my junior uncle made such a long contract mainly because it was a mind game between him and the Devil Duke. The devil tends to make long and complicated clauses, and confuse the contract holder in the process.
"But I'm different. I plan to use the shortest possible sentence. After all, Dragon Language is unambiguous. In this case, shortening the sentence can express the meaning as accurately as possible."
Nini: "But wouldn't that make the definition too broad? For example, if you say 'recover Flint's body', will that mean that all the bodies of people named Flint in the world will be recovered at once?"
Xiaobai: "It may also make Flint's body look like when he was killed by the Withering Spell."
Wang: "I was going to say 'Change the cause of death of the Flint we know to one who fell to death'. You don't know any other Flints, do you? No, to be on the safe side, I should say 'the dwarf Flint we know'..."
Rosalie: "I have a feeling your attributive will get longer and longer."
Wang: "No, that's all. Dragon language is the greatest guarantee. Devils never use dragon language to make contracts because there is no ambiguity and the room for maneuver is too small."
Elizabeth: "Wait a minute, you mean even if it's Dragon Language, the devil can operate it?"
Wang spread his hands and said, "That's a devil! His goal is always to use complicated clauses to trick the contractors and take their souls for himself.
"But the devil is much better than the demon. It will definitely abide by the contract. So as long as you are smart enough to defeat the devil when making the contract, you can use the devil as a servant, just like my junior uncle did."
Xiaobai: "I understand. Your junior master is the devil's nemesis."
Wang: "There is a huge difference between my junior uncle and the devil."
"What's the difference?" Elizabeth asked curiously.
Wang: "My junior uncle will break the contract, but the devil won't."
"He's even worse than the devil! He's just a smart bastard!" Xiaobai complained diligently.
Wang: "Anyway, let's get started as soon as possible. I'm going to get Flint's body out now..."
He looked at the Pelican Gang and refugees who were watching, and said to Rosalie, "You arrange for them to work first and do what can be done now."
Rosalie: "Okay, first catch the people you want to expel and keep them under strict supervision."
The king turned to the team members and said, "Let's go to the central control room, where we can revive the dwarves without interruption."
At this time, the leader of the Shadow Thieves suddenly appeared and said, "Your Excellency, when we land later, we will also have a few people go down."
Wang: "Go back and report?"
"Of course, after all, such a big thing happened. And our carrier pigeons were all destroyed in the undead frenzy. We can only send people in the flesh to deliver the message."
Wang: "These are the countries in the river region. There are no proper roads. We rely entirely on water transportation."
Shadow Thief Leader: "Actually there is. There is a shallow beach next to the waterway. You can wade through the water on horseback."
Wang: "What about your horses?"
The shadow thief smiled and said, "Don't worry about it."
Wang: "Okay, but are you all going? We have to leave one or two people behind, right? I want to keep those who are most familiar with Shallow Water City. We also want you to identify the bad guys who sold the moon. There are also guys like Kro who was just confirmed to be exiled."
When Kro heard his name being mentioned again, he quickly shouted, "I am innocent!"
The king ignored his reaction.
Shadow Thief: "We do need to leave two people behind. After all, the information on the floating city will be the most valuable information in the world."
Wang: "That's fine. You can help Granny Hashir now."
Rosalie: "By the way, Granny Hasher can no longer be called the leader of the Pelican Gang. She needs a formal title."
King: "How about I make her a lord?"
Rosalie: "Sure. But you can't just confer it verbally. Titles are only meaningful if they have pomp and ceremony. I suggest arranging a ceremony."
Wang looked at the floating island with only tents around it and said, "I think it would be very difficult to create a show in this situation."
Rosalie smiled, "Leave it to me."
"Okay, let's go revive the dwarf. Good luck to you. By the way, Nini will stay on the ground and be your bodyguard."
At this time Oscar appeared limping. She was seriously injured and was forcibly carried back by the healing magic. Then she was exhausted and fell asleep.
Wang: "I thought you would sleep for at least three days."
Oscar: "I think so too, but I had a nightmare. I dreamed that most of the vigilante groups I trained were defeated, so I was so scared that I sat up."
Rosalie: "That's not a nightmare. It's true that there are only a dozen survivors of your vigilante group."
Oscar covered his face: "How could this happen...Where is the grave of the deceased?"
Rosalie: "Uh, it hasn't been buried yet because so many things happened... We'll arrange for someone to bury it right away! Calm down!"
Oscar squatted down, covered his face and cried emotionally.
Wang looked at her and mouthed to Rosalie, "Take good care of your sister. We are going downstairs."
Rosalie nodded.

In the central control room, Wang took out Flint's body.
He was very careful, fearing that Flint would break into pieces - people killed by the Withering Technique were completely dehydrated, their bodies were brittle, and would break if one was not careful.
However, when he put the dwarf down, he still heard a discordant sound.
Xiaobai's ears twitched and he said, "It feels like some of it is broken. If you open his armor now, you will see the dwarf's debris."
Wang: "Fortunately he has this full body armor."
As he said this, he took out the limited wishing scroll he had obtained from Elzam and took a deep breath.
"I'm going to tear up the scroll, so don't talk for a while! Although the person who tears up the scroll is the one who makes the wish, who knows if this magic will take your words into account."
Xiao Bai: "Then if I yell 'pork ribs' after you tear open the scroll, will a pork rib appear?"
Wang: "If you dare to do this, I will use the Death Ring on you."
"I'm sorry." Xiaobai stood at attention and lowered his head.
The king took another deep breath and tore open the scroll.
"Change the cause of death of Flint we know to one of falling from the first floor!"
Elizabeth: "Hey, did you elaborate on the cause of death... Can you speak now?"
The next moment the light instantly enveloped Flint's body.
The next moment, his head tilted to the side with a click.
The skin that was like old tree bark created by the withering technique became plump again and covered with bruises.
Xiaobai: "It doesn't look like he died from the fall, but rather that he was hit like a ping-pong ball by two giants after falling down."
As soon as the words fell, a common language particle appeared on the dwarf's face: Huh.
Elizabeth: “Huh?”
Wang: "Your initial exclamation was taken as part of the wish!"
Elizabeth: “Huh?”
Xiaobai: "Hahahahaha, you should say 'Yeah'!"
Wang shook his head: "Okay, this is still good."
As he said this, he took out the resurrection scroll, tore it open without hesitation, and then pressed his glowing right hand on the dwarf's corpse.
The light enveloped the dwarf again.
But nothing happened.
Wang: “Huh?”
Chapter 215: Flint
Time goes back to the time when Flint died - but this time back has no meaning to Flint himself.
What is the meaning of time when people die?
Flint looked around in confusion: he was now standing in a garden that he had no impression of, full of blooming hydrangeas.
Flint looked at the colorful hydrangea in confusion and muttered, "Are the colors so rich? Why do I have the impression that it is mainly light colors? Do bright red hydrangeas really exist?"
Suddenly, Flint realized that the important thing now was not to study the hydrangea, but to figure out what was going on.
He looked around and called softly, "King? Your Highness? Long-ear? Where are you all?"
No one responded to him.
Flint frowned and called out the name he thought would definitely respond to him: "Gotrick! Stop playing hide-and-seek!"
No one responded.
Just then, the sound of music came from a distance.
If you listen carefully, you can hear laughter, as if someone is having a party.
Flint frowned in confusion. His years of adventure experience made him feel that there must be something fishy going on, so he touched his waist and tried to take out a five-headed flail, but what he touched was an ordinary iron hammer.
"What the hell?" He was about to throw down the hammer and look for a reliable flail, but suddenly he found a mark on the hammer.
He recognized the seal - it was impossible not to recognize it, this seal was Jenny's signature, all products from Jenny's magic knitting shop had this mark.
He remembered that this hammer was the birthday gift Jenny gave her. He used this hammer to forge the set of recallable mithril armor.
But after he set out on an adventure with his old friend, the half-elf bard Tanis, no one knew where the hammer had been lost.
It's not that he didn't take good care of it, it's just that there were too many chances of losing things during his adventures, sometimes even all his luggage and armor were lost.
If it weren't for the recall function on his armor, it would have been lost long ago.
But now, the hammer was actually in his hands.
"Enough!" Flint yelled, "Stop stealing the memories from my head, damn it! I know this must be an illusion created by you!"
