Twenty Sided Dice

A territory under construction means a lot of things, and even Siegel can't handle all of them without sleep. [77nt.] In order to make life here on the right track as soon as possible, he chose the most direct method-everything is made of gold.

Every day, he devotes most of his energy to the alchemy magic circle, and the magic energy flows through him like a tide, washing his body over and over again, and then being guided into the enchantment. This process is very tiring, but the benefits are obvious: Over time, Siegel's mastery of magic and his understanding of spells deepened, and he began to combine what he learned in books with what he learned in practice. Combined with experience, purposefully try to transform the magic circle of the mine.

At this time, he thought of his friend, Ding Bao, a dwarf "Pi Duck" living in Ximu Town. He remembered that he once asked a dwarf rune master to design a magic device for making distilled water. Siegel is convinced that his dwarf friend is not a spellcaster, and at most some races bring specialties related to illusion, but it is basically wishful thinking to rely on these to drive the magic circle. In this case, what is the composition and principle of the device, and can some aspects be used in the alchemy array of the mine? The mage felt this possibility was very high, so he wrote a letter inviting Ding Bao Turan to settle in Heimqiu.

It's up to Johnny Bucktooth, who also knows the "strange **** at the grocery store". Siegel asked him to buy some goods needed by the territory by the way, and inquired about the situation of the ship Soth. He has been worried since he saw the scene of the ship capsized through the magic of the shadow of the dead. If there is indeed a problem with the Soth, it means that the statement of the shadow of the dead is likely to be true.

"If you come across good artisans, try to recruit them. But if they already belong to the lord. Don't make trouble." Siegel handed him some of the gold from the mine. "Craftsmen are given priority, and farmers who can farm are also welcome. Yes. If Ding Bao is willing to come, you can ask him what he needs and give him some gold. Be careful along the way."

"I see," Johnny agreed.

Bucktooth leaves with Siegel's hope. He was accompanied by two hired knights. The news that Hemhill had a lord gradually spread, and related rumors began to be heard in the towns of the Southern Lords Alliance. It's a pity that Siegel didn't come from a wealthy family, not even a small noble family, so he was not favored. In addition, he is a mage lord, and he is caught between the open and secret struggle between Waterdeep and the Starry Kingdom, so those southern lords are not optimistic about Siegel's development. Take a cool and wait-and-see attitude.

This attitude also affected the Freelancers, so Siegel's men didn't have anyone in the Guard except Mana. Only some mercenaries came to Heimhill to see what kind of jobs were available. They are equipped with inlaid leather armor, shields, long swords, and drunken eyes. Siegel took out gold to pay the bill, which made several people's eyes shine. Stay and do chores.

The banner of the nine-clawed squid has been flying on the hills, but the prototype of the castle is far from being seen. Because all the carpenters, blacksmiths, masons and even potters were assigned to the mine by Siegel. Janet had no complaints about this, because she knew this was the hardest time. Fortunately, with the acceleration of the construction of the mine, more and more gold is produced every day, and Feizac has begun to hire people in the area controlled by the southern lord, so the situation in Heimqiu will get better and better.

Siegel would go to the castle district to find Janet every morning, imagine the future with her, and finish breakfast with her. Then head to the Striped Mountain Gold Mine. Janet always thinks of ways to improve the "Lord"'s meals, and is happy to see Siegel's smiling face every day. Mealtime was her happiest time of day, because it wasn't lords, wizards, or nobles sitting across from her. It's just Siegel, a man who always gives a thumbs up to her kitchen craftsmanship.

But today's breakfast was disturbed. The archer Mana came on horseback and jumped down before the mount could stand firm. It can be seen that her body is dusty, and the sweat flows through the dust to form several marks of mud. "There is a large group of dwarf warriors heading towards the lead, about a hundred people." Mana was also polite, grabbing the ale on the table and taking a sip. Then he continued: "They are fully armed, and a set of full armor is enough to buy our entire guard. The Orc Deva brothers and I want to go up to ask them why they are here. We were attacked before we got too close. I Dodged and ran back quickly. The Deva brothers were knocked off their horses by the warhammer. They fainted, and it is estimated that at this time, they were either captured or killed."

"Did that team of dwarves play any flags?"

"I didn't see the flag of Mora's Peak. There are only three gems, which are red, white and yellow."

"Understood." Siegel stood up, and Janet stood up nervously. "Do you need me to get you armor?" Janet asked. "You're not stupid enough to fight so many elite dwarven warriors, are you?"

"That's the flag of the Gem family, I think the team sent by Erint is here." Siegel smiled, "I don't think they will attack me, the Deva brothers lost because of their ugly faces. Come on. The dwarves will naturally be on guard when they see orcs, and of course they will be attacked when they approach. I will go and redeem them."

"Then I'll go with you," Janet said. "Since there's no war, I won't drag you down."

"You've never been a drag on me," Siegel comforted her. "Let's go together."

The team of dwarves stopped at the "border line" of Hemqiu, and did not cross over, but sat on the ground and took out the marching rations and began to eat. The Deva brothers had rags stuffed in their mouths, and they were tied and thrown aside. They cursed in their throats, but could only make humming sounds. The dwarves ignored them at all, but often passed them with warm sausages and clinking wine sacs.

Siegel and Janet rode from far away on a Phantom steed. A magical symbol of a gem family floated above their heads, and then Siegel's squid family crest. The leading dwarf put his fingers in his mouth and whistled vigorously, and the warriors shoved their contents into their mouths and rallied at once. They stood in neat ranks. He hit the armor on his chest with his fist, making a rattling sound. But the dwarves did not draw their weapons, they knew it was not the enemy.

Janet dismounted first, then Siegel jumped. He saw more than a hundred elite dwarf warriors standing in front of him in three rows, all wearing exquisite stamped full-body armor. He saw the smile in the dwarf's eyes. There was also a lot of joy. Siegel narrowed his eyes, looked carefully, and finally found the clue.

Among the group of dwarves, there was a particularly large and stout guy standing in the middle of the team. Although he deliberately bowed his head and let the square helmet cover his face and cheeks. But the prominent nose and beard still betray his identity. Siegel opened his arms and hurried over, shouting loudly, "Irene! I'm so happy! I didn't expect you to come too!"

The dwarf lifted his helmet, laughed loudly, and hugged Siegel tightly. The mage couldn't pick him up from the ground with all his strength. This made the dwarf even more happy. "Can I not come and see you? You have become a lord now, and I will always come to visit you as a guest."

"Welcome." Siegel jumped and jumped: "I'm so happy I don't know what to say!"

The dwarves stretched out their hands one after another and patted Siegel on the lower back, expressing their love. A few pointed to the forehead, trying to test the hardness of Siegel's skull. To keep the spell in his head from being knocked out, Siegel smiled and hugged them, but remembered to avoid their hard foreheads.

Siegel introduced Janet to the dwarf Erint, saying that this was his fiancée. Erinte snorted a few times. Worrying that such a slender wife is difficult to produce strong offspring. Janet didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she complimented the dwarf's beard in a colorful way, which made Erint smile.

"When I received your letter on Mora's Top. I couldn't get away from it." Erinte said as she walked: "It was only recently that I finally found time. You are better than when you left Mora's Top. A lot, I can feel the power in your body from a distance. It seems that Leah is right, you are really a good seedling to learn magic."

"I really wanted to go up and see you when I passed Mora's Peak." Siegel said, "But the situation was not very good at the time, and my team didn't have much supplies to stop, so I had to hurry up as soon as possible. Here, things are more complicated. My original plan was to wait until the gold mine was built. I will go to your place so that the trade route can be established."

"Gold mine?" Erinte said with a smile: "You picked a good place. It takes much less effort to develop a territory with a gold mine."

"I have to save some energy," Siegel said. "After all, I'm still a mage, and study and research take up a lot of my time. After I have gold mines. At least I have enough gold coins to buy spell supplies and support me. learning consumption.”

"Don't worry about this." Erinte laughed loudly: "I'm here to bring you good news, that **** folded fortress has finally been opened, and most of the treasures inside have been taken out. That share is about 300,000 gold coins. So, you are a rich man, you don't have to worry about this anymore, and you don't have any problem if you want to learn spells."

"Thirty... ten thousand!" Siegel froze for a moment, "How could there be so many?"

"That's right." Erint's beard twitched, and seemed very proud: "If there is no treasure of this level, as the second spokesperson of the gem family~www.readwn.com~ How can I go on an adventure in person? Siegel, what are you going to do next? Go to the Mages Association in Waterdeep City, or the Mages Association in the Old World. I think you can become a powerful mage in a few years."

Siegel stopped, bowed his head for a moment, and said firmly: "I am Lord of Hemhill, and that is one of my identities. Sir Bill taught me that I should bring peace and happiness to my people, I may not be the best, but I will never abandon them. I will still be here, building my castle and developing my domain."

He took Janet in his arms and said, "I will continue with the original plan."

"That's fine. Although it involves a lot of energy, it is also a good choice to build a territory. After all, this can last for a long time." Erinte said: "I didn't bring those treasures this time. After all, you are not safe here. The storage location. Besides, you have to spend the money you get now. It is better to write down what you need, let the merchant do the errands for you, and settle it directly on the top of Mora. It will be cheaper. After all, no one dares to deceive us dwarves."

"This saves me a lot of trouble," Siegel said with a smile. "I need food, artisans and tools for all kinds of workshops. Hemhill is really poor, and it's my responsibility to let the people live here. to a better life." (To be continued)
