Chapter 33 The Fall of the Duke

That night, Elizabeth's entire team stayed in the guest room of the Duke's Mansion.

After all, she had just been attacked, and a good trip to find a cat had turned into a life-and-death fight. The princess definitely didn't want to leave the Duke's mansion tonight.

As for the rest of the team, they are all responsible for saving the princess, and the Duke will reward them for their merits tomorrow morning.

In the public living room of the guest room, Flint is excitedly showing the wine he found in the kitchen of the guest room: "Look! Although I don't know what sherry wine is, as long as it is wine, no dwarf will reject!"

Misha Sara teased: "You obviously dislike the honey beer at the Three Wild Boars Tavern."

"That's different! I don't admit it's wine!" The dwarf pulled out the cork of the sherry wine and sniffed it. "Oh, this taste is not that kind of sissy wine. Come and taste it. taste!"

The pastor of Kailin poured the wine into the oak cup, picked it up and took a sip, then his face twisted into a ball: "Why is it sweet?"

The cat man laughed and continued to tease: "You don't understand, this is human wine, you can't drink it right away, you have to appreciate its color first, then smell its taste, and then taste it in small sips. If you drink it dry, you won’t be able to taste it.”

Flint frowned: "What the hell! Forget it, let His Highness bring me some really exciting Shire spirits later."

He was putting the cork back in the bottle when Elizabeth opened the door and came in: "Good evening, everyone."

Misha Sara smiled and said, "I thought you were going to the ball, I heard the music from the ballroom."

Elizabeth sighed: "Under the circumstances, I don't have the heart to go to the dance. I just went to greet my father, and I happened to see my elder brother reporting to him about the underground investigation. The rangers of the team think that there are at least 500 people underground. Large colonies of goblins. The number of kobolds cannot be counted."

The mage who had been flipping through the books in the guest room raised his head: "Five hundred, the knights and city defense forces defending Langdon City are not enough to deal with these guys, including the city guard. Goblins and Kobolds They are all good at operating in the dark underground."

Elizabeth: "Yes. So my brother is going to mobilize the poison and use the poisonous smoke produced by burning the poison to kill these evil creatures."

"Wait a minute!" Misha Sarah raised her hand, "What about the homeless people on the basement floor?"

Elizabeth: "Is there a homeless person? We didn't meet them when we went down, did we?"

Misha Sara: "Of course not, we have a tin can that rattles when it walks, and it is obviously equipped with a spell caster, and a beautiful lady like you, all the wanderers are entering the dark vision range of the dwarves ran away before."

"But Marika didn't tell us that there are homeless people?" Elizabeth looked at Marika who was hiding beside and blending into the darkness away from the candlestick.

The drow replied, "I've seen a lot of strays, but they're not a threat, so I didn't take the time to report them."

Elizabeth turned around immediately: "I'll go tell my brother!"

Marie stopped her: "If the kobolds and goblins in the underground can be eliminated, it is acceptable to kill a few homeless people."

Elizabeth: "No, we should at least notify the homeless first and give them shelter."

Wang: "Then the enemy will also go for refuge."

Elizabeth looked from the king to Marika.

Wang continued: "However, I think it's a bad idea to use poisonous smoke. It's too inefficient. And it's not guaranteed to kill all the goblins and kobolds."

Elizabeth raised hope again: "Then what can I do?"

"Mobilize enough troops to follow the enemy's tracks with rangers and rogues, and kill them all."

Elizabeth: "It is because there are not so many troops to mobilize that poisonous smoke is used."

Malika: "His Royal Highness, sometimes it is the lesser of two evils."

Elizabeth looked a little depressed: "That's what I was educated to say. But... Wang, please give me some advice. Can these homeless people not die and achieve our goal?"

Wang frowned: "This is a bit difficult."

The dwarf chimed in and said, "He is a mage, not a magician. There is no way to transform people away out of thin air. However, as Kailin's pastor, I also hope that these homeless people will not be sacrificed. Kailin is a kind god after all. But he does not Will force it."

Wang: "It's not completely impossible."

The dwarf was shocked: "Is there a way to do this?"

Wang continued: "I will choose to delay your brother's action and see if the lure on our side is effective. The man behind the scenes must have commanded the goblins and kobolds in some way, catch him, and figure out how he commands Yes, you can lure the goblins and kobolds into the trap and kill them all."

Elizabeth's expression immediately became clear: "You still have a way. Then I'll go tell my brother..."

As soon as the words fell, Wang suddenly raised his hand and made a "quiet" gesture.

Seeing this, the dwarf immediately blew out the candlestick on the table in one breath.

Races with darkvision in the dark will have an advantage, and there's no reason why a party with dwarves and drow shouldn't take advantage of that.

The king opened the window and let in a crow.

As soon as the crow came in, he shouted: "Something happened, something happened! The Duke is fainted!"

Elizabeth turned around sharply, but in the dark, she didn't know what she knocked over.

Wang: "Don't get excited, it might just be an ordinary physical illness, and isn't the Duke planning the next move with the eldest prince? The eldest prince should be watching over him. Anyway, let's go to the Duke's study to see the situation first."

**
The duke's study has been transformed into a small chancel with astonishing speed.

A large number of Lancelot's priests crowded the room, and the gilded white robes almost caught the king's eyes.

The duke had already been placed on the table, probably because he was worried that he would not be able to safely move to a place with a bed in his current condition, so he had to deal with it temporarily.The holy emblem of Lancelot moved from an unknown church was placed above the old man's head, acting as a light source.

Of course, in addition to the holy emblem, dozens of compound candlesticks were added throughout the room to dispel the shadows from every corner of the room.

Elizabeth rushed directly to her father, grabbing the old man's hand: "Dad! What's wrong with you, Dad?"

Wang didn't pay attention to the princess, but looked at the second prince who was also in the room.

Bruce also stared at Wang seriously, and made a gesture to make him pay attention to his surroundings.

The king began to look around, and at this moment, the eldest prince said: "Master, you come from that magic tower, you should be well-informed, right? Come and see this bottle. It contains father's stomach medicine. "

Because the Duke was afraid of being assassinated, he asked the poison testers to eat the food 24 hours in advance before eating the food. In order to keep the food fresh until the results of the poison test came out, the dishes would be refrigerated in the magic ice cellar.

Because he has been eating cold dishes, the Duke has a very bad stomach and needs to take medicine to treat the stomach.

Wang took the bottle and asked, "His Royal Highness..."

"My name is Wayne Langdon, just call me by my first name."

At this time, the priest in gorgeous robes asked: "Your Highness, just now you said that this is... that's apprentice?"

"Yes."

All the priests looked at Wang with surprised eyes, while he concentrated on studying the bottle in his hand, and continued the question while studying: "Your Highness, Your Highness Wayne, are you responsible for preparing this stomach medicine?" ?”

"No, I'm only in charge of collecting materials, and my father's pharmacist is in charge of refining. Now those pharmacists have been arrested by me and are being interrogated."

Wang: "By your gardener?"

Wayne: "By our gardener."

The mage nodded, put the bottle close to his nose and sniffed: "I need some props."

His Royal Highness made a gesture of invitation.

Then the mage handed the bottle to the cat man next to him, and took out the dimension bag himself.

All the people present who saw this dimensional bag for the first time took a step back, their expressions were exactly the same as those of the casters this afternoon.

Wang took out a staff from inside and shouted at the bottle: "Detect poison!"

The staff immediately burst into light.
