Twenty Sided Dice

This place has gone through countless cycles of spring and autumn, but since having a lord, it is the first time that Heimqiu has ushered in a harvest season. For a whole year at 92Ks.Com, the farmland here has not been damaged by wild animals, looted by bandits, and encountered no war. Coupled with the hard-working people, they finally achieved a good harvest. The water mill, built by the Shield River, runs all day, grinding the mountains of wheat into flour. A tenth of this will belong to the lord, as the cost of using the mill.

According to custom, when the harvest is good, the lord organizes a banquet for the industrious villagers to express their gratitude to the Mother Earth, who has raised the world. Janet did her part and took over. She began to level the clearing outside the castle, padding it with rubble. After the banquet, it will serve as the town square of the outer city, and new houses will be built around it.

Most of the affairs of the territory are handled by Janet and Faizac, but it does not mean that Siegel can relax. The dwarf occupants from the top of Mora finally arrived, and more than 20 weather-beaten dwarves looked at the newly built castle with harsh eyes.

"Except for the part of the runes, the rest is not good." A dwarf said: "Just give me twenty people, and I can climb up the city wall and put down the drawbridge."

"Just that old bone of yours, you still climbed up the city wall?" Another said, "Why don't you dig a hole in the ground? Then I only need fifteen people. No one will notice."

"Shut up, we're not here to attack the castle, we have to think about how to defend it." The third dwarf's words resonated with many people, "What if you run into a giant of Stone Ridge? What about the shadow snake? "

Seeing that the dwarves fell into silent thinking after the heated discussion, Siegel, who came to greet them, felt a little embarrassed. It is estimated that the self-introduction he just made to the dwarves was completely ignored. Erint has said that these dwarves have formed a new group, which is incompatible with the environment of Mora's Peak, and it is difficult for even dwarves to get along with them.

At the same time, Erint also warned him not to try to get these dwarves drunk. One reason is that the difficulty is too high, and it is more difficult to control them when they go crazy. Mora Pinnacle has had a profound lesson. If it wasn't for the high-ranking priest who guarded the temple of the dwarves, who happened to be present and cast emotionally stable spells, these westward dwarves would have broken through the heavy guards and blockades, and were exposed to the sight of the dwarves.

Siegel rubbed his chin. Since they can't make them listen to themselves. Then it will be actively integrated into it. Later, he also joined the discussion and explained the plan against the flying dragon with the architectural layout he saw in the cage valley, which really worked. Since they were also written by dwarves, many of the plans in the Cage Valley were quickly understood and accepted by the people on the scene. They had Siegel draw patterns on the ground. A lively discussion took place.

Some programs are despised by them, but there are merits in many places. Through their words, Siegel also understood some ingenious ideas in architectural design. From morning to night, a human and more than twenty dwarves stood on the playground of Myr City, constantly writing and drawing on the sand, designing cities that did not exist.

Then, as if discussing, the dwarf's belly purred one after another. At this moment, a dwarf with a dark yellow beard suddenly patted his head and shouted: "Where is that lord who came to greet us? I'm going to starve!"

Siegel raised his hand and hurriedly said, "I'm here!"

The dwarf came back to his senses and looked at the taller human among them. They whispered, "It's weird. Why did I just feel like there were only dwarves around and no human scent?"

Seeing that the topic was about to deviate again, Siegel hurriedly shouted: "Who wants to eat?"

The mage was stared at by more than forty hungry eyes, a scene only seen in nightmares. He hurriedly led the dwarf to the dining room and let the kitchen serve the meals. In fact, these meals are prepared in the morning, and the heating is repeated throughout the day. There is no idle time in the morning, and the end result is that the broth becomes more rich and soft. This dish made the dwarves compliment: "I haven't eaten something so good in hundreds of years."

It is estimated that the chef will faint with joy when he hears this, but the dwarf then said, "As long as you eat this kind of broth every day, you don't need to prepare the rest."

The chef fainted when he heard it.

Erinte's uncle. Locke Diamond is the dwarf who "is about to starve". He has obvious characteristics of the diamond family - thicker and shorter than ordinary dwarves.

"Young Siegel, if you can climb the road to the top, you are a member of the dwarves. I will tell you straight." The dwarves said: "We are very aware that we are actually exiled, but we have not been cancelled from the family. It’s just an honor. When we chose to go west, we were prepared to endure this situation. In fact, it was our ambition to come back alive at the time, and it has exceeded our expectations now.”

"In my opinion, you are great explorers," Siegel said. "I am very interested in the west of the Walled Mountains. Can you tell me?"

The dwarf shook his head. "The House Council forbade us to give details, so you are asking for nothing. Find us a place to live near the Walled Mountains, and we will thank you very much."

"I have a gold mine next to Mount Santre, and there are also small towns there, where you can get daily necessities. Except for the fact that there are more orcs residents, it is a good choice."

"Half-orcs?" The dwarf raised his eyebrows and snorted: "What are half-orcs? They are already a very easy race to get along with, at least some of them are honest guys who can keep their promises. It's up to you, give them around there. Let's arrange a place."

"But don't go up to Mount Santhur, there's a dragon in there." Siegel, afraid of misunderstanding by the dwarves, continued, "The dragon and I are allies, not enemies."

Speaking of dragons, there was an inexplicable sadness in the dwarf's eyes: "They are all pitiful animals." The dwarf said, "But your territory is really unique, orcs, dragons and us dwarves. If With gnomes and elves, you basically have all the intelligent races in the New World."

"I really have dwarfs here." Siegel thought of Ding Bao, "Maybe there will be elves in the future."

"Don't." Locke shook his head, "They are terrifying!"

Siegel wondered why Locke thought the elves were terrifying. Thinking about Elinte getting along well with Leah?

Putting this group of dwarves next to the "New Rock Village" was definitely a smart move, because their critical eyes and almost obsessive hands-on ability, it took only three days to approve the original gold mine design. , many places were demolished and rebuilt by them. Siegel resisted saying "this gold mine was built by dwarves", but he also began to understand in his heart why the dwarven council on the top of Mora would rather send them to Heim.

The production capacity of gold mines continues to rise. Siegel knew he would soon be the highest-paid human lord in the New World. The wealth of Waterdeep is amazing, but it is accumulated by many masked lords. But pure gold means little to Siegel, and he needs to turn these precious metals into practical materials as soon as possible.

A large number of orders are sent from Myr City, but most of them are disguised as the Gem family of Mora's Pinnacle. Others make purchases from the Federation in the name of mages. Perhaps it was these wealth that caught the attention of the Federation, and the team that built the magic testing ground was finally organized. Siegel entrusted Akeqi to help rent a lot of spell books, and bought some books related to mysticism, history, geography, and magic circles, just for the mage team to bring them.

Another part of the orders came to the northern grasslands. In the name of Heimland, Siegel purchased more than thirty horses at a high price and used them to equip his knights. The giant Kerry will naturally not treat his good brother badly. All the horses that were brought to him were of the finest quality, rare in the whole of the South. Other territories require knights to bring their own horses, but in Siegel's view, unless part of the land is allocated to knights, they will not be able to raise their own horses. So nominally these horses are still Siegel's property, but they are handed over to his subordinates on rent, and rent is loyalty.

Even with this money, Siegel has amassed a lot of gold. He decided to continue purchasing animal skins that could be used to make leather armor, so that the Jackdaw tribe would first restore its status as a commercial center on the grasslands. This order gave the Jackdaw tribe a whole year without worrying about anything to do, and the tribe has never been more prosperous than it is now.

Then. Siegel begins to acquire spell materials from the Jackdaw tribe. The Waterdeep Mages Association often buys some animals and plants for the preparation of potions and spell experiments. However, the price they give is not high, and it is much lower than the actual value of these materials. Now that the team building the Spell Proving Ground has begun to head south, in order to curb the power of the Knox Commons, Siegel is now starting to prepare.

Especially materials that can be used to aid mental, emotional, and memory control spells are snapping up from now on. Even if such resources cannot be monopolized, Siegel will push their prices up. In order to achieve this goal, he also placed a large order to Mora Peak, and almost put all the remaining gold coins into it.

Siegel has always had a vague fear that the Knox Common Assembly will bring chaos to the New World. Even set off a **** storm. Although the burden of saving the world does not fall on his shoulders, he must take precautions to protect his own territory and protect the hard-won environment for learning magic.

As Janet advised him. The biggest insurance of the entire territory is his spell ability. Only if he exists as a mage, can this Heim Territory maintain a high-speed development without being destroyed. Even now that the city of Myr has been established, the tall castle is impregnable, and the dwarves promise that not even an earthquake that could split the continent will loosen the bricks on the walls. However, no matter how strong the city wall is, it can only protect itself, and the vast land and Zebra Mountain gold mines are outside.

So Siegel worked hard every day. Concentrate on learning magic spells and improve your spellcasting level. The residents of the territory can often see their lords practicing magic in the open space, summoning various mysterious and powerful wonders. Walls of fire or ice popped out of thin air; dirt and rocks changed shape to his heart's content; heavy fog blocked all light, and those trapped inside couldn't even move a step.

But practicing spells on your own is like swinging a long sword at a target, and it's hard to make real progress. This situation did not change until the arrival of the Mage Corps. (To be continued.)
