Twenty Sided Dice

Siegel came to the basement of Myr City, deeper than the place where food and gold coins were stored. There is an empty room, the vaulted ceiling draws the weight above to the surrounding walls, and countless runes keep the structure strong and prevent it from collapsing. The center of the room is the base rune column, but it doesn't have any special abilities, it's more like an instruction manual for the entire building.

The rune column emits a faint light, and Siegel uses this amount of light to begin to describe the elemental rune array. The materials he uses are all refined special medicines, the cheapest of which is mercury that is one gold coin per ten grams. To be able to withstand greater elemental fluctuations, Siegel paid a fortune for these things. His "deposit" on the top of Mora has been used up, and the treasury of Myr City has almost bottomed out.

But it's all worth it.

The thin lines drawn by mithril serve as the lines of the rune array, connecting the large gems with runes engraved on them. Since the wear and tear of the elemental rune array has not been solved perfectly, Siegel specially designed a method of mercury to withstand the wear and tear. Mercury will flow along a specific route, absorbing those elemental fluctuations that are unfavorable to the magic circle. It is only necessary to replenish the mercury at regular intervals, and there is no need to replace the expensive rune gems and mithril threads.

Every day Siegel made progress, and the entire rune formation was getting closer and closer to completion. Janet thought of going downstairs to help, but Siegel said there were too many toxic substances in the area and it was not good for the fetus.

Janet calculated that Siegel could use nearly 5,000 gold coins every day, and it took 50 days to complete the work. This huge project itself is more expensive than the city of Myr - after all, the dwarves who built the castle took the big bucks.

If the entire rune array is fully functioning, it can support one super-large elemental warrior, or four large-scale elemental warriors of any type. There are two cores of control. Janet's hand is used to summon elemental warriors. The other is to collect the elemental power attracted by the magic circle, but it cannot condense the elements.

That is Modesty's snacks.

The sleeping dragon girl was "abducted" by Siegel again, and the new elemental rune magic circle is a perfect resting environment for her. There is a room specially prepared for her in the city of Myr, which can get the sun without being noisy. But Modesti was not satisfied with this place.

"Why don't you let me sleep in the magic circle? The elemental power there is obviously stronger."

"Would you invite others to rest in your treasure pile?" Siegel asked her back.

"Oh. No." Modesty shook her head, her silver fluffy hair swaying. Then she thought for a while, and pouted, "But if it was you, I should agree."

While Siegel was glad that his relationship with the dragon girl was developing well now, he remained sober and remembered that he had called Modesti to protect the fortress. If she naps deep underground. It is estimated that she will not come out even if the castle collapses.

"Then below is a flowing magic circle. If you go there, it is likely to destroy the effect of the magic circle." Siegel explained to her, "After all, you are not a mage, right?"

"They know magic!" Modesti stomped her feet, and Long Wei unknowingly exuded. There was a group of frightened cats screaming one after another in the castle. A few even jumped out of windows and ran wild in the courtyard.

Siegel stared at Modesti until she was embarrassed to put away Longwei, and reluctantly admitted: "Okay, I know: I don't know magic, and it may really ruin the magic circle."

"If the magic circle or the core is broken, I really don't have the financial resources to build a second one, so you really can't go down. And you have to remember. The coverage area of ​​the magic circle is very large, and you are five miles around the city of Myr. The elemental energy transmitted to the core can be received by the range." Although this is the truth, Siegel still concealed some things that he did not want the Dragon Girl to know. "Besides. My wife is pregnant, don't let Longwei in the castle, it's not good to scare the child. But if I hear that you make her angry, I will close the circle and let yourself Go back to that cold cave and endure hard time."

"I'll be careful not to scare the eggs." Modesti blurted out, thinking something was wrong. So he changed his mind and said, "I mean the child, and I won't scare the child."

"If something bothers you. It makes you unhappy, you go to Janet to fix it," Siegel said. "The more effort you save. The faster you grow?"

"I'll be good!" Modesti took the core of the magic circle - a thick and long gem scepter, and found places to put it on her body. But the robe she transformed had no pockets, and the scepter couldn't be held in her mouth. After trying many places, she could only choose to hold it with her hands. Seeing how stupid she was, Siegel untied the long belt around his wrist and temporarily tied a belt for her.

"There are some books in my study, you can go and read if you have nothing to do to understand the customs of the next continent." Siegel finally said: "Although you have to accumulate strength, if you don't grow your brain, you can't use the strongest power. magic, right?"

Modesty was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, "Thank you, you are a good person!"

Near noon the next day, Siegel, who woke up late, put his ear to his wife's belly and listened carefully after enjoying the breakfast prepared by Janet. It seems that this child grows slower than ordinary people, and it seems that there is no change in more than two months. It is said that it takes about eighteen weeks to vaguely hear the baby's heartbeat, and now I can't feel anything except a vague soul light spot in my spirit vision.

"You have to take care of yourself," Siegel said. "Fezak is loyal, but he's getting older and he doesn't take care of some things well. Territory is just an unimportant thing compared to you, don't worry about it. Too much heart. Look for Modesti more. Although she is five or six times older than the two of us combined, she is still an ignorant little girl in the world. As long as she is still in Myr City, I will Don't worry about your safety."

"The lords of the south..."

"Let them make trouble," Siegel said. "If necessary, William Uther can be released on the condition that he pays a large sum of money to the widow and children of the slain businessman. If Heroes wants to, we will also We can provide them with weapons and equipment, after all, our basement is almost full."

"Then after you go. Can the construction of the walls of the Ore Avenue begin?"

"Let's get started." Siegel said, "After incorporating the Santre Peak and the Striped Mountain into the city wall, control the Ore Avenue. But for the time being, don't interrupt the trade route, and don't need to collect tolls. There's no need to overly stimulate the lords in the south. "

He kissed lightly where his children grew up, and then kissed his wife. It was originally planned to depart at noon. But he sat down again.

There was a roaring fire in the fireplace, and the winter sun was cold but bright, streaming in through the lounge window and spilling on the thin blankets. He sat on the soft bench and looked at his wife quietly. Because of her pregnancy, she was more prone to fatigue than usual. Every noon will fall asleep. Siegel looked at her peaceful and comfortable look, everything was so perfect. A few kittens sneaked in, laying on the ground where the fireplace was lit by the fire, and taking a comfortable nap.

Siegel knew that if he didn't go, he wouldn't want to leave when Janet woke up. Take a deep breath. He stood up, helped Janet under the covers, and suddenly disappeared into the room.

The news of his departure was not kept secret, but no one knew where he went or when he would return. He didn't plan to bring any followers this time, even if Henke and Mana insisted, they didn't agree. Myr City still needs someone to handle the daily defense work, and it is impossible to pin all hope on the last dragon insurance.

Siegel didn't know how long he had waited when Feizach came to see him at the stable. But it looked like he had never been idle. The old man kept admonishing Moore about all the things to watch out for on the road. Although Moore has listened to it more than a dozen times, he still has to bite the bullet and do it again.

"Don't send it. You go back quickly. The cold in winter is very hurtful." Siegel mounted a black horse and let More follow behind him. "we are leaving."

They headed west at first, along paths guarded by fences and bushes. From Myr City to the Striped Mountain Gold Mine, there are already many residents along the way. Several new buildings are under construction, which Moore says are hotels and taverns. Due to the large number of businessmen coming and going, the original tavern in Myr City has long been overwhelmed. Naturally someone will think of building new ones.

Soon after, they set foot on the Ore Avenue. Leaving Shield River and Heim's Collar behind. After walking north for a while, we came to an uninhabited wilderness area. Siegel has taken a fancy to this piece of land, and he plans to continue to expand his territory. The title of pioneer knight is not a decoration. He also needs more places to reward his loyal knights.

"There will be new fertile fields, or fruit trees can be planted here." Siegel said, "Although wild boars in the woods are more annoying, I believe that no one will hate them after they are brought to the dining table."

Moore replied with a smile: "That's right, my lord. I can still think of Mr. Humke eating half a wild boar by himself."

"Then you haven't seen the giant Kerry~www.readwn.com~ I once ate a dragon with him," said Siegel. "

"Dragon?" Moore opened his mouth wide in surprise, and could almost put an egg in it: "Is that delicious?"

"No, let's not continue this topic." Siegel suddenly changed his words: "You better not talk about this matter."

He thought of Modesty again, the dragon girl who had been worried that Siegel could eat her with her teeth. Siegel had really done eating dragons, and if Moore missed his mouth, it is estimated that everyone in Heimland would be in danger.

The two of them rode on their horses, facing a wooded plain and at the end of the eastern horizon a brownish wood. Although this is south of the hub castle, there has never been a place where elves haunt, but you can see trees similar to the elves forest. It has to be said that the power of life is powerful, and only the backwater swamp can stop the progress of the woods.

Siegel suddenly thought of something. The magic towers of the Knox Common Society are located in Waterdeep City (I don't know how the progress is), Creekwood Town and Hub Fort, which just encloses the Elf Forest in the middle. Who knows if those long-lived creatures have noticed the difference, and what will they think? (To be continued)
