Twenty Sided Dice

"The war is over," Viscount Kira Stadt said in a tired voice while writing a letter. (This chapter is updated by 77nt.Com) Only his sworn knight, Morgan Clark, heard this, his most loyal subordinate and friend. He needed to **** up his ears to hear every word, and the rustle of writing in the room seemed to be louder than the master of the hub.

The hub is far from the northern battlefield. Unless the orcs continuously break through the waterdeep city and the kingdom of the elves, it is impossible to reach the walls of the hub. There is still a peaceful life here, and the busy caravans still shuttle back and forth on the Cloak Avenue. The orc war seemed to take place in a very distant place, but it still attracted the attention of Viscount Zilla.

"What do you think of this war?" The Viscount put down the quill in his hand and stopped writing. He looked up at the oath knight: "You read all my letters, what do you think about the result?"

Morgan Clark's expression was very calm, as always. Except for the Viscount's life and death, he didn't care about other things - or was too lazy to care. That's why the viscount showed him the document and sought a fair and objective opinion from him.

"The orcs have won this time," said the knight. "Waterdeep just hasn't lost."

The Viscount nodded, this was the answer he wanted to hear. He is not too young anymore, except for his two sons and three daughters, I am afraid that he will never have any new heirs. He tried his best to educate his descendants, but none of them had the vision of a Morgan knight. The Hub Fort is located in the core of the New World, and its geographical location is very important, which corresponds to the meaning of the word "hub". Although it is a treasure, it also attracts too much attention. Only the politically astute can keep this territory and not lose the battle.

Marriage can help the eldest son to sit on the seat of the lord, and the second son can also gain another territory of the family by means of marriage. But the viscount was worried that after his death, the nobles who married would have coveted hearts. He is looking for new allies. Do your best to strike a balance between the forces. Therefore, he has always been concerned about the situation in the north, buying the most detailed information at a high price, and making judgments on the situation.

"The orcs will come back soon. And the interval will be much shorter than in the past," said the viscount, and the knight listened. Then the viscount would ask his opinion, and it had become a habit. "In three years, there will be another battle. Waterdeep will definitely be in big trouble."

"Maybe it will be another battle of the Great River, where many races unite against the army of orcs," said the knight.

Hearing this, Viscount Zilla closed his eyes, calculated it carefully in his mind, and then nodded: "It is very likely that it will develop to that point, and we should prepare early. How many people do you think appeared in this war? How's it going?"

"Who? His Royal Highness Prince Aaron?" The knight shook his head. He didn't want to speak ill of the royal family, so he made the simplest comment: "His health is too bad, maybe it won't affect the next battle."

"You saved enough face for him." Viscount Qila said with a smile: "In the end, this is an inauthentic thing done by Waterdeep City, which made His Highness the prince embarrassed. He knew that he was not in good health, but let him stay in the city. Speaking at the celebration ceremony. But think about it in reverse, maybe this is the real purpose of the (Waterdeep City) Lords' Council, to let everyone see the royal family of the Star Kingdom who can't even stand up, so as to establish the confidence to continue self-government. !"

The knight snorted: "It has been almost ten years since Waterdeep City announced its separation from the Starry Kingdom. Even if there were some rifts during the Great River Battle, bullying a patient is really disrespectful."

Viscount Zilla coughed twice. With difficulty, he turned around and looked at Knight Morgan: "Should the patient be given preferential treatment? Don't I also insist on it in the hub? Prince Aaron is actually too self-aware, so don't force it if you are not in good health. Don't he know Can silence bring majesty? Originally, the Star Kingdom had insufficient strength in the New World, and the current situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for them."

"The hub cannot declare self-government like Waterdeep," the knight reminded.

"I know that," the viscount's voice was full of helplessness, "I know it's impossible. The result of declaring autonomy is disintegration, not to mention that when others start, our own vassals will rise up and attack us. You say they What reasons will be used to eliminate rebellion or to crusade injustice?"

"All the same," replied the knight. "They will all die."

"Very good." Every time the Viscount heard this, he felt relieved. whenever. Knight Morgan gave his full support like his own brother, slaying the enemy with his sword. Even in the face of the high-level priests of the Elf Kingdom. Knowing that the starlight they summoned at random has the power to destroy life, Knight Morgan did not retreat at all, and stood firmly in front of the Viscount. When did he come to the hub castle, I am afraid I have seen him since I can remember? The memory of the past has become a little vague, and many scenes can no longer be remembered, only distorted shadows and strange sounds are left. The Viscount was exhausted every time he fell into memory like this, so he immediately turned his attention back to the matter in front of him. "The matter of His Royal Highness Aaron will be left behind. Anyway, he is going to go home. He will not have much influence on the New World. I am focusing on the man named Siegel. His identity is very strange. , Baron of the Royal Family, Mage of the Federation, and actually became the pioneering knight of Waterdeep City. This time, the Council of Lords has made up their minds to fight against the Kingdom of Stars. The safety of the sea area. You say, is there any conspiracy involved?"

"I can't think of it." The knight shook his head, the armor on his body rattling with his movements.

"That Siegel is really bold. He dared to take on the triple identity at the same time. He really wants to be a fief. By the way, you have seen this person's knight mentor, Baron Bill Tiger, and now he has become Real jazz, it's incredible."

"I have to say that Baron Bill is still very good."

"Do you think so?" The Viscount snorted, his voice full of ridicule: "A stupid mercenary who can't tell the difference between humans and elves, and would rather help outsiders than obey orders, what skills can such a person have? "

Morgan Knight kept his mouth shut and made no point - but maybe that was his point.

"In the end, the biggest winner of this war is a little-known young man. It is said that he was just a lowly sailor a year ago. The world is changing so fast, we have another neighbor."

"Heim Hill in the west of the Ghost Mist Swamp, what's the use of that place?" Knight Morgan snorted softly and said, "There are only a few towns in the wasteland, and there is no production. It is difficult to build a castle. The only thing is The advantage is that it is far enough away from Waterdeep, and farther away from His Royal Highness."

"But it's so close to the legendary dragon, maybe that's what he relies on. I didn't expect a dragon to live on Mount Santre. It is said that the dragon will protect Siegel's life and provide him with the ultimate Asylum, I don't know if it's true. Even if you throw this aside, a mage is dangerous enough." The Viscount got up from the chair, moved his stiff shoulders and arms, and stepped on the soft slippers to leave the study. His energy has been getting weaker and weaker recently, and it is likely that the magic tower being built outside the castle has affected him. Every day he could hear the tinkling sound, knowing that he should not have agreed to the Knox Common's request for the land. But why did he agree at that time? I can't remember the details, maybe the Morgan Knight can still remember it.

He asked aloud, but got no answer. He turned his head and saw that there was no one around. The surprise in Viscount Qila's heart has not yet emerged, and has been forgotten. He seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and then calmly opened the bedroom door, full of thoughts of getting a good night's sleep.

In addition to Makabuda and Hub Fort, there is also a red magic tower rising from the ground in Ximu Town. The Knox Commonwealth has invested huge fortunes~www.readwn.com~ to show extraordinary skills in the new world. The magic tower they built not only did not drive the surrounding residents away, but instead provided a large number of employment opportunities, allowing the local population to grow to a certain extent. Moreover, since the merger with the Mages Association, the bald wizards of the Knox Common Association have gradually begun to appear in public. They always use their friendly attitude and charming language to attract everyone's attention, and then slowly win their favor.

This emotional identification also spreads within the Mage Federation. Together, the Knoxes handed in some of their unique spells, the sparks of thought that came out of them that wowed the mages of the Federation. They all asked to deepen the discussion and explore the limits of mind control magic together. There was even a voice calling for the addition of the "Red Heart Tower" belonging to the Knox Commonwealth next to the Three Peaks Pagoda. Such voices were quickly suppressed, and the magical protection of the Three Peaks Pagoda and its surroundings was the guarantee for the Union's mages to live and secure their lives, and they could not be easily changed. So someone else proposed to build another red heart tower in Deep Water City, which could be far away from the Three Peaks Tower. There are many mages who support this proposal, but the Council of Lords in Waterdeep has not passed it, at least temporarily.

In this restless atmosphere, Siegel seemed very calm. During the day, apart from practicing martial arts for a while, he continued to learn spells. As long as he was not doing magic experiments or spell practice, Janet was always by his side, and the two finally had an undisturbed quiet time. While waiting for His Royal Highness to leave Waterdeep, the mage prepares to go to his own territory. (To be continued)
