Magus Tech

The captain of the guard raised his head diligently, forcibly calmed, and trot to keep up, "His prince, it must be true, it must be true, I saw with my own eyes that he could release the flame...

Richard, who walked to the deepest part of the dungeon, stopped and stopped in front of the last cell. There was a man dressed like a black robe wizard, who looked very mysterious, but... not at all comfortable, the four iron chains were wrapped around Holding his hands and legs allowed him to move freely without him, and a string was pulled into his mouth, supposedly to prevent him from casting spells.

At this time, the other party's expression appeared calm, and there was not much fear, which was different from the previous three people who were arrested by mistake.But looking at the other person's slightly blinking eyes, Richard guessed that maybe the other party did have some means, but the chance of a real wizard is infinitely close to zero.

"His prince, this man reported that he was making trouble in the tavern, eating nothing without paying money, rumoring that he saw a fire-breathing dragon, and claimed to be a wizard, which caught my attention before he led the team to arrest him.

When I arrested him, I saw him release flames and almost burned a soldier under my hands. It is undoubtedly a real wizard."The captain of the guard said, next time he took a burden from his hand and handed it over carefully. "His prince, this is the thing that man carries with him. There are short staffs and strange casting materials..."

At this time, the wizard who was caught in the dungeon made a noise. Although his mouth was drawn into a rope and his speech was extremely vague, he still threatened: "You...you will let me go, no... or you will have to bear it My anger, I sue... tell you, I am a wizard. Do the wizards know, you can ride the fire-breathing dragon, and kill you easily with magic..."

Richard ignored the wizard and reached for the bag in his hand. The first thing he saw when he opened it were several black wooden sticks over 20 centimeters in length and about one centimeter in diameter. The rest were unknown materials for bottles and cans.

Richard opened a bottle casually and found that it contained yellow candle-like things, smelled a slight garlic-like smell, and couldn't help but chuckled.

"His Prince, you..."

"Isn't the flame you saw this way before?" Richard asked, picking up a short staff in the package, stained with a yellow waxy object, and stroking hard on the stone wall next to it. .

The violent friction caused the temperature to rise, and with the sound of "poo", a flame burst from the end of the short staff.At this point the entire short staff looks like a large match.

The eyes of the captain of the guard were rounded in an instant: "His Royal Highness, don't you... will you also be a spell?"

"What do you think?" Richard asked back, "I want to understand the principles of spells, and then to clarify some other problems. But...the truth is still to be said, spells are spells, tricks are always tricks. If I know how to spell Do you still need so much effort to make you catch people?"

"But you now..." The captain of the guard couldn't help looking at the burning short staff in Richard's hands.

"Yellow Phosphorus." Li Cha said with a voice, and dropped the short staff in a small puddle accumulated on the ground, extinguished.

"Yellow phosphorus?"

"Yes, yellow phosphorus." Li Cha explained simply, "This yellow wax-like solid substance is called yellow phosphorus or white phosphorus. It has a melting point of 44.1°C and can spontaneously ignite at 34°C, even in humid air. It can also catch fire at about 40°C, as it is now. It can be used to make some matches, smoke bombs and the like, but it has nothing to do with the legendary spell. So... you got it wrong again."

Richard chatted and patted gently on the shoulder of the captain of the guard.It's also amazing to say that as Richard's hand fell, the captain of the guard fell short, and finally sat on the ground with a thump, his face pale and bloodless.

Looking up in horror, the captain of the guard looked at Li Cha without any fluctuating expression, and a chill came out of his heart.With a bang, the captain of the guard began to kowtow hard: "His prince, I am wrong, I am wrong, please give me another chance, I will definitely catch the person you really want."

"the last time."

The captain of the guard was stunned, and then nodded quickly: "Understand."

Richard took a step and left with the package of the swindler wizard, and suddenly his eye swept something, and took out something from the package.

It was a whole piece of snakeskin. Li Cha touched it and even brought the temperature. It felt like he had just baked it in front of the stove. It was very unusual, a bit like something he had been looking for.

With a sharp gaze, Li Cha turned back suddenly, walked to the front of the cell, and held the snakeskin to the liar wizard and asked, "What is this, tell me."

Who knew that the liar and the wizard felt dependent at this time, and looked up hard, even with an arrogant look and nostrils, and ignored them at all.

The captain of the caretaker asked tentatively on the side: "His Royal Highness, look, how to deal with him?"

The sorcerer in the cell, with a dangerous and vicious look, seemed to be saying: What do you think of me?!Release me soon, or you will look good.

Li Cha smiled coldly, and pulled out a second short staff from the package, stained with yellow phosphorus, and stroked and lit on the wall next to it, throwing it at the next moment.

The burning short staff crossed an arc in midair, passed through the iron fence of the cell, and fell into the cell where the wizard was held.The area inside the cell was covered with straw, and it ignited in the event of fire, and soon flames and billowing black smoke rose.

In the horrified gaze of the wizard, Richard turned to the captain of the guard: "What can I do to the useless people? Like the few patients you caught wrong, let it go. As for this prisoner, I am very I hate it, so... just burn him to death!"

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"That's good."

"Da Da Da", Richard stepped towards the exit of the dungeon. Behind him was the wizard's vague cry, but gradually changed his tone.

"Boy, you... you come back..."

"Let me down..."

"please……"

"King...His Prince, I was wrong. I told you what you just asked..."

"King...His prince, I know you are interested in something related to the wizard, that thing is a peel from a flame python..."

"clatter!"

Richard stopped suddenly, and the captain of the guard on one side had not responded. He listened to Richard's order and said, "Fire."

"Ah?" The captain of the guard froze for a moment, then turned around quickly, and a roar sounded, and more than a dozen soldiers stumbled and ran over, carrying a wooden bucket of water, and quickly ran to the concubine's cell. Spread it inside if you don't see it.

"Wow, wow..."

Originally, the flame was not big. After a dozen barrels of water was poured, the fire was completely extinguished. Of course, the wizard who was caught in the iron chain was also drowned.

With a "squeak", the cell door opened, and Richard stepped on the wet straw, seeping the wizard.With a slight gesture, the captain of the guard stepped forward clearly, and untied the rope that was tied to the wizard's mouth.

The wizard breathed a sigh of relief, and before waiting to speak, he listened to Richard: "You have a minute to convince me not to kill you. If you can't convince me, then rest assured that your next death will definitely be better than Burning is more painful."

The wizard shivered: "I...I..."

"Five seconds left."

A wizard of the wizard understood that he was dead or alive, and he quickly said: "His Royal Highness, I tell the truth, I am not a wizard, I am just a liar, I..."

Regarding the other party's confession, Richard was not interested, reminding him expressionlessly: "Forty seconds."

The wizard's tone was high: "I know you are interested in wizards and spells. A few days ago I saw a python with a flame burning all over my body. I think it must be useful to you. And the wrapped leather , Which is a part of the python skin I picked up, and I sold the rest..."

"Have you ever seen a flame python? Then tell me, specifically a few days ago?" Richard asked aloud, staring at the wizard's eyes.

The next moment I saw the wizard's eyes involuntarily deflect toward the lower right, and Richard knew that the other party's subconscious movements because of memory were mostly telling the truth. The other party said: "It was three days ago."

"morning afternoon?"

"Uh... noon."

"How is the weather? Sunny and cloudy?"

"sunny day."

"Where is the sun in front of you and left and right?"

"Ah... on the left."

"What do you see?"

"Like an ordinary python, it just catches fire."

"what colour?"

"red."

"length?"

"More than three meters."

"How much?"

"More... half a meter."

"Specific location."

"On a hillside more than ten miles outside the city..."

...

Half-ringed Richard stopped asking, and the guard captain asked quietly, "His Royal Highness, look..."

"Leave him down, and tie it up right away. You take a team of people and me out of the city immediately."

"Now...now?"

"Now." Richard said, "If you catch the flame python that he said, let him go, if you don't catch... just cut off his flesh and feed the dog!"

"amount……"

"His Royal Highness Prince!" the wizard shouted, lest he should be killed, and quickly reminded, "His Royal Highness, you must be well prepared to catch the python, after all, it is a magical creature that can spell. , Very dangerous."

"Then I will make people bring bows and arrows..." The captain of the guard thought for a while, "and then bring a big net..."

"No, you can't use the net." The wizard quickly said, "The python will catch fire all over, and it will burn the net."

"So what do you say?"

"I..." The wizard's momentum immediately weakened.

"Everything in the belt is carried, and people choose some elite." Li Cha made a decision out loud, "other..."

"Also..." Richard said, "Go to the'KGB' shop in the city to let them know that the third manager will take the goods I had ordered and go to the flame python."

"Yes."
