Chapter 002: Wizard Spells and Yellow Phosphorus

The captain of the guard tried to raise his head, forcibly composure, and trotted to follow, "Your Royal Highness, it must be true, it must be true, I have seen with my own eyes that he can release flames......

Going to the deepest part of the dungeon, Richard stopped in front of the last cell, where there was a man dressed as a wizard in a black robe, who looked very mysterious, but ...... Not at all, four chains wrapped around his hands and legs to prevent him from moving freely, and a rope was strangled into his mouth, supposedly to prevent him from chanting spells and casting 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 gaze, Richard guessed that maybe the other party did have some means, but the probability of a real wizard was infinitely close to zero.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this person has led a team to arrest him because he reported that he was making trouble in the tavern, eating without money, and claiming to be a wizard, which attracted my attention. When I first captured him, I saw him unleash flames that burned one of my soldiers, and he was undoubtedly a true wizard. The captain of the guard said, and the next moment he took a burden from his subordinates and handed it over carefully, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is what that person brought with him, there is a short staff in it, and there are all kinds of strange spell casting materials......"

At this time, the wizard who was caught in the dungeon spoke up, although his mouth was tied into a rope, and his speech was extremely muffled, but he still threatened: "You will soon let me go, and if you are (not) you will bear my wrath, I will sue you, I am a wizard." Do wizards know, I can spell......"

Richard ignored the wizard's words, reached out and took the burden in his hand, and the first thing he saw when he opened it was a black wooden stick more than twenty centimeters long and about one centimeter in diameter, and the rest were bottles and jars of unknown materials.

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

"Your Royal Highness, you ......"

"Isn't that the flame you saw before?" asked Richard, picking up the short staff in his package and slicing it hard at the yellow waxy object on the stone wall next to him.

The intense friction caused the heat to rise, and with a "poof", a flame was born from the end of the short staff. At this point, the whole staff looked like a large match.

The guard captain's eyes instantly widened: "Your Royal Highness, are you ...... You can spell too?"

"What do you think?" asked Richard, "I want to figure out how the spell works, what the world is going on right now, and then how I got here somehow." But...... The truth still has to be taught, spells are spells, and tricks are tricks after all. If I know how to do sorcery, do I need to go so hard for you to catch someone?"

"But you're ...... now," the captain of the guard couldn't help but look at the burning staff in Richard's hand.

"Hmph, yellow phosphorus. Richard said lightly.

"Yellow phosphorus?"

"Yes, yellow phosphorus. Richard said, "This yellow wax-like solid substance, called yellow phosphorus, also known as white phosphorus, has a melting point of only 44.1 °C, and can spontaneously ignite at 34 °C, even if it is about 40 °C in humid air. It is often used to make matches, or smoke grenades, and has nothing to do with legendary spells. So...... You've caught the wrong one again. ”

As he spoke, Richard patted the captain of the guard on the shoulder. It's also amazing to say, as Richard took a picture, the captain of the guard actually fell short and low, and finally sat down on the ground with a "plop" and a pale face.

Looking up in horror, the guard captain looked at Richard's expression without any fluctuations, and a chill arose in his heart. With a "bang", the captain of the guard began to kowtow vigorously: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I was wrong, I was wrong, please give me another chance, I will definitely catch the person you really need." ”

"For the last time. ”

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

After speaking, seeing that Richard was about to turn around and leave the dungeon, the guard captain hurriedly stood up and asked in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, do you think since these people are not what you want, what should you do?"

Richard stopped, turned around, and glanced at the wizard in the cell, who was looking at him with a dangerous and vicious gaze, as if to say: "Boy, let me go, or I want you to look good."

Richard smiled coldly, he was still holding a burning short staff in his hand, and the next moment he threw it directly.

The short staff arced through midair, through the cell's iron bar, and fell directly into the cell where the wizard was being held. The place inside the cell was covered with straw, which ignited immediately when it caught fire, and soon flames and billowing black smoke rose up.

Under the wizard's horrified gaze, Richard turned and said, "Those who are useless, let them go." Whoever breaks the law, then kill it. ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand. ”

"Da Da Da", Richard strode towards the exit of the dungeon, behind him was the wizard's faint scolding, but gradually changed his tone.

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

"Let me ...... down"

"Please......"

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

"I ...... I know you're interested in wizards and spell-related things, and I know there's a legendary flame python ......"

"Da!"

Richard stopped suddenly, and before the captain of the guard on one side could react, he listened to Richard's order: "Put out the fire." ”

"Huh?" The captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he quickly turned around, and a roar sounded, and more than a dozen soldiers stumbled over, one of them led a wooden bucket of water, and ran quickly to the last cell of the dungeon, and threw it into it without looking.

"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......"

Originally, the flames were not large, but after more than a dozen buckets of water were poured, the fire had all been extinguished, and of course, the wizard who was entangled in iron chains was also drenched in soup.

With a "squeak", the cell door opened, and Richard stepped on the damp straw that seeped water, and looked up at the wizard. With a slight gesture, the captain of the guard stepped forward very clearly and untied the rope from the wizard's mouth.

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

The wizard shuddered: "I...... I ......"

"Fifty seconds to go. ”

The wizard understood whether he was dead or alive or himself, and hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Prince, I'll tell you the truth, I'm not a wizard, I'm just a liar, I ......"

Richard was not interested in the other party's confession, and reminded expressionlessly: "Forty seconds." ”

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

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

The next moment, seeing the wizard's eyes involuntarily skew to the lower right, Richard knew that the other party was making a subconscious action because of his memory, and most of them were telling the truth, and the other party said, "It was three days ago." ”

"Morning and afternoon?"

"Uh...... Midday. ”

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

"Sunny day. ”

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

"Uh...... Left. ”

"What do you see?"

"It's similar to a normal python, but it catches fire. ”

"What color?"

"Red. ”

"Length?"

"More than three meters. ”

"How much?"

"Multi-...... Half a meter. ”

"Precise location. ”

"...... on a hillside outside the city"

......

Richard stopped asking in the middle of the ring, and the captain of the guard asked quietly: "Your Royal Highness, ...... you see?"

"Put him down, and tie him to his horse, and you will go out of the city at once with a group and me. ”

"Present...... Now?"

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

"Forehead ......"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" the wizard shouted loudly, lest he be killed, and hurriedly reminded, "Your Royal Highness, if you want to catch that python, you must prepare well, after all, it is a demonic creature that can spell, it is very dangerous." ”

"Then I'll have you bring more bows and arrows......," the captain of the guard thought for a moment, "and then bring a big net......

"No, you can't use the Internet. The wizard hurriedly said, "That python will be on fire all over its body, and it will burn the net." ”

"Then how do you say you got it?"

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

"I bring everything I need to bring, and I pick some elites. Richard made a decision aloud, "Also, bring a bag of flour." ”

"Huh, flour?" the captain of the guard was stunned, and so was the wizard.

"Yes, flour, in the palace kitchen, the best kind, the kind that has been sifted at least ten times and kept for the Queen's bread at the dinner. "Richard wasn't joking at all.

"Forehead ......"

......
