underground.
While the warg ran wildly in the sewer smelling the smell, the king on the wolf saddle made a new discovery about the scepter.
First of all, he found that when riding such a tall warg in the sewer, it was best to shrink his neck, otherwise he would bump his head. In order to obtain this insight, he had two extra bags on his head.
Secondly, his understanding of the scepter has greatly improved.
"I know why you saw a giant dragon rejecting you. I'm currently sure that this scepter has three functions. The first is to allow you to speak the language of kobolds and goblins. The second is to allow you to speak the language of kobolds and goblins in one day. Use Dragon's Breath once, and the third one is that it can turn you into a black dragon for an hour every day, the kind that spits out acid."
The druid suddenly transformed back into a werewolf, as her body parts adapted during the transformation process, so the king was riding on her shoulders.
"Why did you change back?"
"I want to talk! You can't talk when you transform into a wolf! You are so heavy! So this scepter can transform into a dragon?"
"It seems so at the moment." The king continued to ride on the little druid with peace of mind. "In this way, it can be understood why the kobolds obey the orders of the holder of the scepter. The kobolds always think that they are dragons. The descendants of kobolds, and kobold warlocks without exception firmly believe that one day they will become dragons."
The werewolf carried the king and ran while asking: "What about the goblins? Didn't you say that the goblins are also commanded by the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"I don't know, that's the weirdest thing. At least now I don't find any use for this thing other than letting me speak Goblin."
"What's the use? Can you turn into a dragon by not saying what you just said?"
"I mean, is there somewhere to exert some extra influence over the goblins."
"Eh~"
The werewolf carried the king for two more steps and suddenly asked: "Why did you ride up without hesitation? It was obviously the first time I met you, and my motives were all based on my own words. Maybe I They are not here to track down missing cats and dogs at all, they are the minions of the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Wang: "Then I'm already dead. I'll probably be dead if you take that palm that turned you into a bear just now."
"Then I may have deliberately sold you a favor to win you over! Besides, how can ordinary people tell everything to a person they just met without hesitation?"
The king said while studying the scepter: "On the other hand, after I told the truth, you haven't killed me yet, which at least means you are not on the enemy's side. And I already know through my teammates that there are very few druids in the city, and Tightly united in a society called Green Fields.
"And what Erwin did is something that a druid would never allow. So I think it's impossible for a druid to collude with Erwin. You don't look like you're with someone from the Rogue Guild, right?" ?”
"Hmm~" the werewolf girl drawled, "Are you... quite smart?"
Wang: "Of course."
"No, I thought you were stupid before."
Wang: "I am the chief disciple! I am excellent in all subjects."
"Look, if you would talk about something like this at this time, you are indeed stupid."
"I am not stupid!"
"fool!"
The druid carried the king all the way forward.
However, because neither of them had the ability to detect stealth - the Druids actually had it, but they had to cast spells - they did not notice that someone was watching them quietly outside the illumination range of the scepter at this time.
**
A homeless man nestled in the shadow of the sewer, silently watching this strange combination.
A 1.8-meter human is riding on the shoulders of a 1.29-meter werewolf who looks like a halfling. Just looking at this scene is already very weird. What's more, these two people are holding a stick that emits a huge light, which adds to the weirdness of the whole scene.
The most shocking thing is what they said.
The man behind the scenes who can use positive energy to cause mutations, as well as the crisis of annihilation, must be reported to the Shadow Thief headquarters in Monrovia.
The tramp stood up, and his right leg, which had been limping all this time, seemed to suddenly recover.
He just disappeared into the shadows, leaving behind the sleeping bag and broken bowl that he usually treasured.

"I feel that the smell has become stronger!" the werewolf girl shouted, "and there are goblins and kobolds and... a strange smell. This smell is really disgusting!"
Wang pulled the girl's hair: "Hush!"
"I'm not a horse!"
"Stop, we have to move forward carefully. Even if the goblins and kobolds are defeated, a seventh-ring mage's laboratory is still very dangerous. There may be traps and guarding golems."
Wang got off the werewolf's back and asked casually: "Can you detect traps?"
"I'm a druid!"
Wang: "There should be a spell that can detect simple traps among the druid's natural magic, right? I remember it is in the first level."
The werewolf girl stared at the king suspiciously: "How come you know so much about Druid's magic? As a Druid myself, I have to understand nature to a certain extent before I can be granted the next level of magic by nature! Before that, I had no idea what magic I would get!
"Ask the elders what the next level of spells looks like, and they will tell you riddles! Only those fellow druids who are still adventuring will kindly explain to me the magical spells that I have not mastered!"
No wonder the druid was surprised.
Druids gain the power to get close to nature through mysterious rituals, so the Druid Order does not have an education system like a mage. High-level druids will only teach young people how to get close to nature.
Sometimes, in order to get close to nature, druids will choose to live like beasts and gain their own territory in the wild. Some druids may not have much communication with high-level druids throughout their lives, relying entirely on themselves to get close to nature. to obtain magic.
This leads to the fact that druids often need to obtain knowledge about high-level magical arts that they have not yet mastered from mercenaries and adventurers other than druids: such as the effects of this magical spell, the required materials, and so on.
The werewolf girl suddenly flashed her big eyes, full of curiosity: "How do you know our magic?"
"Because I have this." Wang took out the Book of Infinity from the dimensional bag.
The werewolf girl covered her eyes with her hands: "Oh oh oh oh, don't flash my eyes with this scary baby again!"
After shouting, she spread her fingers and looked at the king with one eye: "So there is also some Druid magic in it? How many are there?"
"Almost all of them." Wang casually flipped through the Book of Infinity, "After all, divine spellcasters don't create various spells like mages."
Little Werewolf: "Can I take a look?"
Wang: "Then I'll have to show you page by page. Only I can read this book."
The werewolf girl showed an expression of being hit hard again: "Who are you! Why are there so many babies who only recognize you?"
Wang: "I told you my teacher's name."
"I don't know who that is! Wait, didn't you tell me your name?"
King: "Just call me King."
"Woof?" The girl tilted her head and suddenly looked like she had figured out what was going on. She pointed at the mage and shouted, "Good guy! You are plotting against me! I am not a dog, I am a wolf! I am a wolf!"
Wang: "No, no, no, my real name is Wang. To be precise, this is my surname, from the far east. I don't want to mention my name, so just call me this."
The girl stared at Wang suspiciously: "Are you really lying to me? Don't you want me to bark when I call you in the future?"
"Really. And your voice is too loud. People 10,000 meters away can hear what's going on here." Wang said helplessly, "We should act in secret now."
The girl still had an unconvinced expression. She leaned closer to the mage and sniffed emptyly like before: "Well...it doesn't smell like lying."
"You can still smell lies?" Wang was shocked. "Could it be through smelling the hormones secreted by humans when they are nervous?"
"I don't know what you are saying, but I have decided to believe you now. But I don't want the dog to bark, so you will be called Smart from now on!"
The mage nodded: "Very good. What about you, miss?"
"My name is very long and hard to remember. Listen, my name is White Beskuntukuta..."
Wang: "Hello, Xiaobai."
"Hey! I just started!"
The mage shrugged: "White means white, and you are very small, so white is enough. It also matches my nickname!"
"You are the novice and I am the smart one. It is good to call this a temporary alliance. After this incident is resolved and you return to the green field, I may accompany the princess to participate in a war. In other words, we The green mountains will remain green and the water will always flow..."
"Okay." Xiaobai waved his hand, "Hurry up and get ready. How do we get in?"
Wang: "First of all, let me confirm. You... didn't prepare the magic to detect traps today?"
"Be prepared. After all, you have to investigate underground. But if you have that book, you should know that my magic can only reveal simple traps. It cannot detect a magic trap created by a seventh-ring mage. You must have a rogue. Let’s deal with this.”
Wang: "Then let's retreat to the second method."
At this time, suddenly an arrow shot at the king, but missed.
The main reason is that the arrow is curved, which is in line with the poor quality of goblin creations.
Wang: "Look, the second way is coming!"
After speaking, he raised his scepter high and shouted loudly in goblin language: "Come here! Accept my command!"
The next moment, a small group of goblins appeared under the leadership of a hobgoblin.
King: "Call the rest of your tribe! Go quickly!"
The hobgoblin immediately turned around and left, leaving several goblins standing tremblingly.
Xiaobai: "You want the goblins to go into the trap?"
"No, I want them to find the hobgoblin scouts from the tribe. They are usually rogues or rangers. There are fewer tribal rangers and more rogues living underground in cities and towns." Wang said.
