Chapter 165 This is a secret
Long Aotian was immediately startled and quickly replied in the group: "Brother Cong, what action is Andrew going to take?"
Xu Ercong replied in the group: "He already knows the king's location. There is a chance tonight to get close to the king and find a way to wake him up. "
"Plan A?"
Long Aotian raised his eyebrows, a little disappointed: "I thought we would implement Plan B tonight."
The project teams of the three major clubs formulated two plans. Plan A was to first sneak into the City of Thorn Flowers, gather enough intelligence, analyze the situation, and break the impasse from the side.
The project team roughly analyzed the current situation in the City of Thorns and concluded that it was caused by the years of struggle between the Magic Academy and the Temple of Light.
If you want to win over the Magic Academy as an ally, you must rescue the old dean. If you want to rescue the old dean, the safest way is to find the connection.
The fundamental reason why the old dean was arrested was that His Majesty the King was seriously ill and in a coma, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the Temple of Goodwill came to power. This led to the Magic Academy losing its political support and falling behind in the struggle with the Temple of Light.
As long as we can find a way to rescue His Majesty the King and use the two letters as evidence to clear the magic academy of its charges, we may even be able to turn the tables on the temple.
Even if these last two letters did not trip up the bigwigs in the temple, they could still rescue the old dean.
The premise for all this is to rescue His Majesty the King of the Friendly Magic Academy faction.
According to the analysis of the project team, or what every player can roughly guess, the "game plot" that takes place in the thorn flower must be very bloody, and His Majesty the King's coma must be related to the temple.
If it were ordinary treatment, it would definitely not be possible to wake up His Majesty the King easily, but the players have the points mall!
The items in the points mall are all made by Xu Xiaofan himself. There are all kinds of props, big and small. Basically, new props are added every once in a while. There are so many types that basically all the props that players need are available.
Xu Ercong had already exchanged the [Lich's Secret Pill] in the points mall and gave it to Andrew. This thing will definitely wake up His Majesty the King!
[Lich's Secret Pill]: A pill made by a great lich himself to wake up his comatose wife... You can imagine the plot yourself, anyway, the person is not dead, and swallowing this pill will bring him back to life. This item is ineffective against undead creatures, and 500 points are required for redemption.
The attribute descriptions of many items in the points mall have caused a lot of complaints. The crappy planner of Death God Scourge was too lazy to even think about the copywriting. He just wrote a random sentence and put the items up for sale. It was really perfunctory to us players!
Moreover, there are many items in the points mall that are ineffective or immune to undead players, but the prices are quite high, so players have never been very interested in them. These items are not best-selling items and have always been at the bottom of the list in the points mall.
[Lich's Secret Pill] is also a bottom-line item of this type, but now players know that this type of item is for NPCs! This type of item is used to complete game tasks!
After all, in some game missions, there are not only players and undead, but also many human NPCs.
As for Plan B prepared by the project team, the content is even simpler.
If Plan A fails and we cannot contact the King, or if everyone finds that the King is suddenly dead after arriving at the City of Thorns.
Then we will implement Plan B and throw out Andrew as bait to attract the major forces in the City of Thorn Flowers.
As long as Andrew can attract most of the hostile NPC masters in the city away from the prison, the players can wait for an opportunity to enter the prison and forcibly take away the old dean.
"Plan A is Plan A."
Long Aotian sighed and asked, "Brother Cong, what should we do now?"
"wait."
Xu Ercong said: "If nothing unexpected happens, once Andrew wakes up the king, the old dean will probably be released soon."
Xu Ercong continued, "When the time comes, you will change from assassins to envoys. Remember to communicate well with the old dean, strive to gain the goodwill of the magic academy, and invite the old dean to the northern city to further establish an alliance!"
Long Aotian asked back: "What if the old dean doesn't go to the Northern City?"
"He will come."
Xu Ercong was very confident: "Alia is still in the Northern City."
Long Aotian suddenly realized: "Well, Congge is really a cunning guy, using someone else's daughter as a handle. I was wondering why you kept trying to persuade Alia not to come to the City of Thorn Flowers at this time."
"Hmm...wait, that's not right."
Long Aotian suddenly realized: "Then don't we have to do anything? Just wait for the news?"
Xu Ercong nodded: "That should be the case."
Long Aotian was full of disappointment: "It's over, it's all in vain, are we really here for tourism?"
Most of the players in the live broadcast room had left. Everyone watched the caravan activities for a whole day, and nothing interesting happened. Naturally, those who needed to level up leveled up, and those who needed to sleep went to sleep.
…
Magic Academy, Murphy's Wizard's Tower.
"Are you ready, Andrew?"
Magician Murphy changed into a magic robe and walked out of the inner room. She just happened to see Andrew sitting on the chair holding a black ear in his hand.
ear?
Magician Murphy was stunned. She felt that this thing was a little weird and had an evil feeling.
"what is that?"
Magician Murphy pointed at the thing in Andrew's hand, and Andrew quickly put it away, smiling and saying, "It's a small gadget I bought on the road, a wooden decoration, it's useless."
This black ear is the item [Lich's Listening] from the points mall. It is divided into two ears, left and right, and can be used for long-distance communication.
Players naturally don't need such a useless item, but Andrew, as an NPC, needs it very much. Only with this item can he communicate with players like Xu Ercong.
Magician Murphy wanted to come over and take a look, but Andrew couldn't wait to speak: "I'm ready, let's go!"
"good."
Magician Murphy nodded: "Are you sure you can save His Majesty the King?"
Andrew hesitated a little, but quickly nodded: “Yes, absolutely sure!”
He chose to believe in Lord Chantendo, which was Andrew's only hope at the moment.
"All right."
Magician Murphy nodded, and the two of them cast magic, avoiding the Temple Knights of the Magic Academy from the balcony and quietly left under the cover of night.
"Just the two of us?"
"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. The Palace Master has just left the palace. We can take this opportunity to sneak into the palace and find His Majesty the King. It would be inconvenient if there are too many people."
…
Andrew and Master Murphy both knew how to use the magic of levitation. Wearing black magic robes and under the protection of concealing magic, they safely avoided patrolling soldiers and temple knights and approached the palace.
The palace of the Lion Empire is huge, with towering buildings like clouds, rising and falling, and different architectural styles, which is quite unique.
Although there is no wall outside the palace, there are a large number of guards stationed there to protect it. The area here is wide and open, and everything can be seen at a glance. Even if there are assassins, there is nowhere to hide.
Besides, ordinary residents generally wouldn't come here for no reason.
Andrew followed Magician Murphy and approached the palace quietly, then followed the guards who had been bribed long ago into the palace.
The journey was safe and sound. The great magician and the magic classroom both had extraordinary magical attainments. They easily avoided the guards patrolling the palace and entered the palace room where the king was.
"Advanced fainting technique!"
Magician Murphy tore open a scroll of advanced control magic, knocked out hundreds of guards around the palace, and then quickly pulled Andrew into the room.
"Hurry, now! Time is running out!"
"The next shift of guards will be here soon to take over. We must rescue His Majesty the King as soon as possible!"
Andrew nodded quickly, and the two of them pushed open the door of the room. There were maids standing in the room, as well as several Temple Knights.
"who?"
The moment the door of the room opened, the Temple Knight drew out his greatsword and looked over. Andrew reacted very quickly and waved his wand a few times: "Silence spell!", "Fainting spell!".
After a few spells were cast, the temple knights were unable to move, their bodies went limp and they fell asleep on the ground, and the same was true for the maids.
Only then did Andrew have time to look around the room.
The room was extremely large, and it was not an exaggeration . It was full of luxury and aristocracy. His Majesty the King slept on a huge bed surrounded by a curtain in the very center of the room.
Andrew walked over quickly, drew aside the curtains, and saw His Majesty the King lying on the bed with his eyes closed, lips pale, and unconscious.
"Give me the wand and focus on saving people! And be quick!"
Master Murphy said in an urgent tone: "We don't have much time!"
"good."
Andrew nodded, handed over the wand, then took out the [Lich's Secret Pill] from his arms and put it into the King's mouth.
The pill melted in the mouth, and a force of death from Xu Xiaofan turned into the purest energy of life, flowing down the king's throat and spreading to his limbs and bones, dispelling all suspicious toxins and enhancing the king's lifespan and body functions.
Naturally, there is nothing wrong with props produced by gods.
No matter what tricks the temple used, after taking a pill, His Majesty the King's mouth moved, and then his eyelids slowly opened.
The king really woke up!
Magician Murphy opened his mouth wide, looking at this scene in shock, and then looked at Andrew: "How did you do it? Many court doctors couldn't save the king!"
"Ha ha."
Andrew couldn’t help but smile: “It’s a secret.”
Murphy sneered, and Andrew thought she was quite dissatisfied, but it was not convenient to explain now.
Now that His Majesty the King has awakened, there is no need to be so nervous. Anyway, we sneaked into the palace to save the king, and His Majesty the King will definitely understand.
As long as the matter is explained briefly, the old dean will definitely be released.
"You...Andrew Murphy?"
The king was lying on the bed. He was still weak, his eyes half open, and he just woke up and his voice was weak: "Why are you here? Why am I lying in bed?"
It was obvious that His Majesty remembered nothing.
"Your Majesty, listen to me!"
Andrew perked up and quickly took out two envelopes from his arms, preparing to explain: "You were knocked unconscious by the spell cast by the temple! The temple master also asked His Royal Highness the Prince to capture the dean..."
Andrew hadn’t finished speaking yet, at this moment.
"Magic Binding!"
A cold voice rang out, and Andrew found that his body could not move.
He was controlled by a high-level magic.
“Puff!”
Murphy took Andrew's wand, walked forward and stabbed the king hard in the chest. Blood splattered everywhere, just covering Andrew who was beside the bed.
"this……"
Andrew's face was filled with horror. He clutched the envelope tightly with both hands and watched the scene with blood all over his face.
The wand lodged itself right in the King's chest, right in the heart.
"Ahem, Murphy...you!"
His Majesty the King stared with wide eyes as Murphy put his hand on the wand and twisted it hard.
“Puff!”
Another burst of blood splashed out. Andrew wanted to stop it but was powerless. His Majesty the King's eyes were wide open, full of confusion and bewilderment. He was completely dead.
“Now, the truth has emerged.”
Murphy’s voice came from Andrew’s side, with a hint of smile: “Andrew, you are the one who killed the king.”
Andrew asked loudly, full of anger: "Murphy, why did you kill His Majesty the King!"
Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's a secret."
