Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

The captain of the guard raised his head hard, forcibly calmed down, and trotted to follow, "His Royal Highness, it must be true, it must be true, I saw with my own eyes that he can release flames...

Li Cha, who was walking towards the deepest part of the dungeon, stopped and stopped in front of the last cell. There was a man dressed as a wizard in a black robe. He looked very mysterious, but... he was not at all comfortable, and four iron chains were wrapped around each other. He held his hands and legs so that he could move freely, and a rope was pulled into his mouth, which is said to prevent him from chanting spells.

At this time, the other party's expression seemed a little calm, and there was not much panic, which was different from the previous three people who were mistakenly arrested. But looking at the other party's slightly flickering eyes, Li Cha could guess that maybe the other party did have some means, but the probability of a real wizard was infinitely close to zero.

"His Royal Highness, this man reported that he was making trouble in the tavern, that he did not pay for food, and that he claimed to be a wizard, which caught my attention and led the team to arrest him. When I first arrested him, I saw it with my own eyes. When he released flames and burned a soldier under my command, he is undoubtedly a true wizard." The captain of the guard said, the next moment he took a bag from his subordinate and carefully handed it over, "His Royal Highness, this is the person who brought it with him. There are short staffs in it, and there are all kinds of strange casting materials..."

At this time, the wizard who was caught in the dungeon made a sound. Although his mouth was pulled into a rope and his speech was extremely vague, he still threatened: "You (you) will let me go soon, and I will be (if you) do not. To bear my anger, I will tell you (tell) you, I am a wizard. Do wizards know, I can do magic..."

Li Cha ignored the wizard's words, reached out and took the bag in his hand. After opening it, the first thing he saw was a black wooden stick more than 20 centimeters long and about one centimeter in diameter. The rest were bottles and jars of unknown materials. .

Li Cha opened one casually, and found that it contained something like a yellow candle block. He smelled a faint garlic-like smell, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"His Royal Highness, you..."

"Isn't that the flame you saw before?" Li Cha asked, picking up the short staff in the package, dipping it in a yellow waxy object, and swiping hard on the stone wall next to it.

The intense friction caused the temperature to rise, and with a "pop" sound, a flame was born from the end of the short staff. At this time, the entire short staff looks like a large match.

The captain of the guard's eyes instantly widened: "His Royal Highness, are you... you can also spell?"

"What do you think?" Li Cha asked back, "I want to figure out the principle of the spell, what's going on in the current world, and then figure out how I got here inexplicably. But...the reason still needs to be explained. Yes, a spell is a spell, and a trick is always a trick. If I knew magic, would I need to work so hard for you to arrest someone?"

"But now you..." The captain of the guard couldn't help but looked at the burning short staff in Li Cha's hand.

"Hmph, it's just yellow phosphorus." Li Cha said lightly.

"Yellow phosphorus?"

"Yes, yellow phosphorus." Li Cha said, "This yellow wax-like solid substance is called yellow phosphorus, also known as white phosphorus, with a melting point of only 44.1 ℃, and it can spontaneously ignite at 34 ℃, even if it is about 40 ℃ in humid air. Can catch fire. Often used to make matches, or smoke bombs, and it has nothing to do with legendary spells. So...you caught it wrong again."

As Richard spoke, he tapped the captain of the guard on the shoulder. It's amazing to say, as Li Cha took the picture, the captain of the guard actually fell down one by one, and finally fell to the ground with a "thump", his face pale and bloodless.

Looking up in horror, the guard captain looked at Li Cha's expression without any fluctuations, and a chill appeared in his heart. With a "bang", the captain of the guard began to kowtow forcefully: "His Royal Highness, I was wrong, I was wrong, please give me another chance,

I'm sure to catch someone you really need. "

"the last time."

The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Understood."

After speaking, seeing that Li Cha was about to turn and leave the dungeon, the captain of the guard hurriedly stood up and asked in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, since you don't want these people, what should you do?"

Li Cha stopped, turned around, and glanced at the wizard in the cell. The other party was looking at him with a dangerous and vicious look, as if he was saying: Let me go, kid, or I want you to look good.

Li Cha sneered, holding the burning short staff in his hand, and throwing it out the next moment.

The short staff drew an arc in mid-air, passed through the iron fence of the cell, and fell directly into the cell where the wizard was being held. The place in the cell was covered with straw, which ignited on fire, and soon flames and billowing black smoke rose.

Under the terrified eyes of the wizard, Li Cha turned around and said, "Let those who are useless let go. Those who break the law, then kill them."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"Da da da", Li Cha walked towards the exit of the dungeon, behind him was the muffled scolding of the wizard, but his tone gradually changed.

"Boy, come back..."

"Put me down..."

"please……"

"King... Your Royal Highness, I was wrong, I have something important to tell you..."

"I... I know you're interested in wizards and spells. I know there's a legendary flaming python..."

"clatter!"

Li Cha suddenly stopped, and the captain of the guard on the side had not reacted, so he listened to Li Cha's order: "Fire out."

"Ah?" The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment. The next moment, he turned around quickly. An angry roar sounded. More than a dozen soldiers stumbled and ran over. Throw it in without looking at it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Originally, the flame was not big. After more than a dozen buckets of water were poured, the fire was all extinguished. Of course, the wizard who was entangled in the chain was also poured into a chicken.

With a "squeaky" sound, the cell door opened, and Richard stepped on the wet straw and walked in, looking up at the wizard. With a slight gesture, the captain of the guard stepped forward with a clear understanding and untied the rope tied around the wizard's mouth.

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

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

"Fifty seconds left."

The wizard suddenly understood, whether it was alive or dead or on his own, and quickly said: "His Royal Highness, I'll be honest, I'm not a wizard, I'm just a liar, I..."

For the other party's confession, Li Cha was not interested, and reminded blankly, "Forty seconds."

The wizard's tone became high: "I know you are interested in wizards and spells. A few days ago, I saw with my own eyes a python that can burn flames. I think it must be useful to you..."

"How many days ago?" Li Cha asked aloud, his eyes fixed on the wizard's eyes.

The next moment he saw the wizard's eyes involuntarily tilt towards the lower right, Li Cha knew that this was a subconscious action made by the other party because of memories, and most of them were telling the truth. The other party said, "Specifically three days ago."

"morning afternoon?"

"Uh... noon."

"How's the weather? Sunny and cloudy?"

"sunny."

"Where is the sun around you?"

"Uh... the left side."

"What did you see?"

"It's similar to an ordinary python, but it catches fire."

"what colour?"

"red."

"length?"

"More than three meters."

"How much?"

"More... half a meter."

"Specific location."

"On the hillside outside the city..."

...

After a while, Richard stopped asking, and the captain of the guard asked quietly, "His Royal Highness, look..."

"Put him down and tie him to a horse. You take a group and me out of the city right away."

"Now...now?"

"Now." Richard said, "If you catch the flame python he said, let him go. If you don't catch it, kill him."

"Forehead……"

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness!" the wizard shouted loudly, fearing that he would be killed, and quickly reminded, "His Royal Highness, if you want to catch that python, you must prepare well, after all, it is a magical creature that can spell. , very dangerous."

"Then I'll have people bring more bows and arrows..." The guard captain thought for a while, "And then bring a big net..."

"No, you can't use a net." The wizard said quickly, "The python's whole body will catch fire, and it will burn the net."

"Then how do you say it?"

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

"Bring everything that should be brought, and choose some elites." Li Cha made a decision aloud, "Also, bring a bag of flour."

"Huh? Flour?" The captain of the guard was stunned, and the wizard was also stunned.

"Yes, flour, go to the palace kitchen to ask for it, the best quality kind, sifted at least ten times and save it for the queen's bread at the dinner party." Richard didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Forehead……"
