Chapter 227 Defeat the enemy with one move
Wang turned to Rosalie and said, "You go ahead!"
Rosalie: "I'm going to recruit some pretty young girls from the Pelican Gang. I can't let a princess like me go to the bar for them? If I do that, they'll get suspicious."
Wang: "Then go ahead and choose. There are about a thousand people in the Pelican Gang, so there must be young girls among them. Let Hasher help you choose."
After a while, the girls gathered in the hall on the first underground floor. The research branch of the cult decorated this hall quite well, which gave people a lazy and comfortable feeling.
Rosalie looked carefully at the gathered girls, then turned to the king with a frown.
Before she could say anything, Wang asked, "Why, no?"
Rosalie: "Look for yourself, they are all so big and strong!"
At this time, the eldest sister who looked the strongest spoke up: "We are the waiters in the tavern. We have to serve at least six glasses at a time. Sailors also like to drink in large glasses. Do you know how heavy they are? In addition to us, there are also people who wash clothes in the laundry. Do you know how difficult it is to wash the sailors' clothes that are so hard that they seem to be starched? How can you push them without strength?"
After that, the other sisters all agreed. Then the youngest and shortest sister said, "Besides, how can a pretty girl like that work as a waitress in a pub? Of course, she should stay in a brothel. She can exchange her pretty appearance for money, it's not tiring, and sometimes she can even feel good.
"We run all day long and we are exhausted, but they earn money just by panting a few times."
The older sisters all agreed, and someone added, "Besides, waitresses are often dirty hands and feet, and their butts and breasts are taken advantage of so many times every day. It's not worth it at all!"
Rosalie sighed and was about to say something, but the eldest sister said, "Don't look down on us. We are just entertaining mages. They are also travelers, so they must be used to people like us. If you let the beautiful elf girl over there serve the wine, they will be wary."
Wang: “Do you know what we are going to do?”
The eldest sister: "I don't know, but they went to such great lengths to find someone to entertain us, isn't it just for that little thing? They should be on guard, so don't hold out too much hope. I think it's better to say that we want to celebrate the cooperation, and you can drink with us, the success rate will be higher."
"Yes, yes. It would be best if we could get a good bard. They are experts at getting people drunk."
Wang scratched his head and looked at the members of the rescue team. There were a lot of beauties and spellcasters in the team, but there was no bard.
But, he suddenly had an idea and looked at Flint: "We don't have a bard, but we have Cailin's herald! Cailin's authority includes parties, and his herald should be a party wanderer!"
Flint was embarrassed: "Drifter? What is that?"
Wang: "Imported goods, that's a fashionable word from the plane called Earth, the plane that specializes in enjoyment, where planeswalkers like to pretend to be novelists and turn their stories into money to enjoy themselves. I said it!"
Flint: "Ah...but...do I really have such ability?"
Wang: "You can turn ordinary wine into Shiraz. Kailin must have generously shared her power with you. Just play the lute..."
Flint: "But I can only play two tunes on the lute!"
Wang: "That's enough. As we play and tap dance, everyone should naturally start drinking happily. Then, the ladies will be responsible for serving the wine. Make sure our guests' glasses are always full!"
The eldest sister in the lead patted her chest and said, "Leave it to us."
Rosalie shook her head. "I thought you were planning to have a palace reception. Now my skills won't be of much use."
Wang: "Then leave it to Hasher. She will definitely organize it. Why not just make it a carnival for the whole island tonight? You and Nini will be responsible for inviting the mages to participate. Nini happens to be wearing a maid outfit, so it's perfect for her to play your maid."
Rosalie: "That's settled then."

Cosette and the others were discussing what to do next when a unique voice sounded in the room.
Everyone immediately prepared to cast the spell and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
The sound comes from a Cyclops relief fixed to the wall.
The mages looked at each other, no one knew what the sudden sound of the relief meant.
At this moment, a human voice floated out from the relief's mouth: "Everyone in the Federation, I am Rosalie, the third princess of Monrovia, and I am here to invite you to attend the celebration tonight."
Cosette frowned: "Is this some kind of voice transmission device?"
"Yes, you can think of it as a doorbell. It can be used outside the door. And just like the door of the ruins, it can be used without any relevant knowledge."
These "automatic doors" and their accompanying doorbells are independent of the central control system and even have separate energy supplies - just like the "civil systems" on the ground that are responsible for mowing the grass and maintaining buildings.
The mages looked at each other, and they realized almost at the same time that their speech might have been eavesdropped on - who knew whether this microphone had transmitted what they said to the rescue team?
Cosette: "We just arrived and are exhausted from the journey. This kind of activity is..."
Rosalie: "The rescue team and the survivors on the floating island will all participate. It can be regarded as a celebration of our cooperation."
Cosette: "But we are all mages, and we can't drink much. Besides, it is very important for mages to rest at night. Excessive indulgence may affect the preparation of spells tomorrow..."
Rosalie: "This time we also have the fine wine brewed by Kailin's emissary. It tastes even better than Shire liquor."
Xette frowned.
Kailin's messenger? There is actually a spokesperson for the gods on this island? This is important information, and we must find out the truth no matter what.
Cosette: "Well, I'll be there on behalf of the others."
**
When Rosalie heard that only one person would attend, her brows immediately frowned. The next moment the stone door was opened from the inside. The moment the door opened, her expression changed and became a warm smile.
Ksette: "I am participating on behalf of our entire team."
Rosalie: "You're right. We are already a team, all members of the Savior Team. This is also an opportunity for us to get to know each other better. After all, we will have to work together in the fight against the cult."
Rosalie paused, and then continued with a subtle change in her tone, "Are you wary of us? Or do you have other intentions? I don't doubt your intentions, but... I was born in Monrovia and have been mixed in the upper class since I was a child, so I developed a suspicious habit."
Cosette smiled: "How could we possibly have such an idea? In this case, we will attend after a little preparation. Will it be held on the ground?"
Rosalie: "Yes. Please hurry up, I'll be waiting at the door to show you the way."
Kerset nodded, and the door closed.
**
Wang was monitoring Cosette's actions in the central control room.
After closing the door, Cosette performed a magic trick, causing the reliefs on the wall to be covered with clouds and mist.
He probably didn't expect that Wang could change the surveillance angle.
The king could have touched the crystal ball and even peeked under Rosalie and Elizabeth's skirts, but he chose not to do so.
Ksette cast another layer of sound shielding spell, then turned back and said to the others, "Drink alcohol-melting medicine and anti-poison medicine in advance. You must be on guard against others."
The king could not help but frown. He had not expected to drink the anti-poison in advance. Of course, the anti-poison only reduced the chance of poisoning and weakened the negative effects after poisoning, but could not completely resist the toxicity. If that were the case, why would the nobles still need poison testers?
Most importantly, antidote is metabolized by the body as an impurity, so drinking a bottle will only last for a short time.
The same goes for alcohol-digesting drugs.
As long as the time is delayed long enough and enough alcohol is consumed, it will still be effective.
I just don't know if Kailin's messenger has the ability to drag the party until the potion loses its effect.
At this time, under the king's supervision, Ksette and the others finished drinking the medicine and opened the door again.
Wang pulled his hand back from the crystal ball. He could take the elevator to the ground, which was faster than Coxeter and the others.
The king looked at Flint and said, "I leave it to you, Karin's voters! They drank alcohol-dissolving drugs, whether you can get them drunk depends on you!"
Flint plucked the lute and said uncertainly, "I really don't think I have that ability. You'd better not expect it."
**
Six and a half hours later.
Cosette drank the last bit of wine in the glass and laughed: "What a good wine! It is worthy of being the wine conjured by Kailin's order! It is much better than Charles's strong liquor! I would love to drink such a good wine in my life..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell forward and fell to the ground. The wine glass fell to the ground, bounced several times, and was finally stepped on by Wang.
Flint, who was standing on a platform made of wine barrels, playing the lute and tap dancing, stopped and looked at the members of the Union who were drunk on the ground.
Flint: "Kaelin's Horns, is this really me exercising His authority? Or is it simply because the wine is so good that they just drank too much?"
Wang: "Does this matter? Come on, tie them all up, take away all their equipment, tie their hands, stuff their mouths, and take away the bags of spell materials!"
Marika suddenly appeared and said to the king: "I found a dimensional bag containing a lot of scrolls of dominating humans."
Wang: "Prepared it for me. Now is the perfect time to use it on them."
Rosalie: "Is that really a good idea? This would make us completely enemies with the Austrian Federation."
Wang: "They came to kidnap me! Damn it, they were enemies from the beginning. So it's okay for us to strike first!"
Minsk looked at Wang with a lingering fear: "Fortunately, I just exchanged information honestly. You are too scary. You just started to act without hesitation."
Master Li Guang: "This way, I can save the poison I collected and save it for later use."
Minsk: "You guys will want to use it later!"
Chapter 228 Variables
Half an hour later, Ksette woke up from her drunken state and found herself tied to a chair when she opened her eyes.
He realized what was happening almost immediately and yelled, "Trigger activation!"
However, nothing happened. Although his mouth was open, no sound came out.
Wang: "Don't waste your energy. Chain triggering requires the target equipment to be on the body. You don't even have a piece of cloth on you, unless you implant the equipment into your body like some mages. Several of your companions have strange implants, so I refilled their cups, but you are 'clean'."
Only then did Xet realize that she was naked.
"You!" he cursed, "You are shameless!"
However, because he could not make any sound, all these shouts and curses were silent.
Wang: "I can tell from the shape of your mouth that you said I was shameless. But what's shameless about that? I didn't ask our girls to take off your clothes. Besides, we wouldn't let you do it if you wanted us to. Your clothes were taken off by the barbarian brother here."
Gotrek raised his thumb, then looked at Cosette and turned his thumb upside down: "No."
Only then did Cosette realize that he had lost even the last bit of his fig leaf, so he cursed: "You will suffer retribution for doing this! We, the Austrian Federation, have no grudges against you!"
Wang: "Damn, it's really troublesome that I can't hear you. I overestimated my lip-reading skills."
Flint: "What then? Remove the Silence?"
“No, no, no,” Wang shook his head, “That’s too dangerous. He’s a high-level wizard. It’s very dangerous to allow him to cast spells. Even if we make him unable to cast spells or perform gestures now, we can’t let our guard down. Who knows if he has prepared any super magic spells.”
If you use the spell-casting and silent casting in the super magic technique at the same time, you can cast spells in this state, but the super magic technique will increase the magic level. High-level wizards may feel that it is better to use high-level spell slots to prepare advanced triggering spells.
But there is no guarantee that no wizard will do this, especially a wizard of prophecy. Maybe he predicted this situation when he woke up this morning and prepared such a spell.
But it is obvious that Cosette is not from the prophecy school.
