Twenty Sided Dice

Siegel's body recovers amazingly, and the wound under his rib only took three days to heal as before, which surprised Leah very much. Siegel attributed this to the elf master's superb magic ability, but the elf knew in his heart that this was definitely not an effect that simple magic could achieve.

Before the wound healed, Siegel couldn't exercise, he could only lie on the carriage and read a book. He was still trying to crack the code book and enjoyed it. Those irregular lines and symbols kept changing in his eyes, and it seemed that the mystery would soon be revealed. This aroused the curiosity of Leah, who also took the book to read, but quickly gave up. The elves thought it was a waste of time to look at this mess of lines, so Siegel was forbidden to read after his wound had healed, and he had to focus on training. In addition to continuing to improve the elf martial arts, in order to prepare for the subsequent adventure, Leah also began to teach him some things about battlefield cooperation and combat command.

The place the two of them are going is Mora's Top, a huge dwarf city and the center of the dwarf settlement in the New World. According to historical records, when the Wall of Storms receded to reveal the entire New World, the resolute dwarves were summoned, and they arrived here in unsinkable stone ships. The elites sent by the original seven clans each converged under the mountain. They discovered the Walled Mountains, found the highest peak here, and named the mountain Top of Mora. Later, the dwarves carved out a rock kingdom here, where they lived and multiplied.

The patron saint of dwarves takes great care of his people, so the expeditions of dwarves are earlier than elves, humans and all other races, and earlier than dragons. It's just that the dragon has wings and can fly directly across the ocean between the two continents, so it surpassed the sailing stone ship and was able to arrive earlier.

The entrance to the dwarf city is above the snow line, which means that the two of them must prepare a lot of warm clothes. Fortunately, there are several villages and towns dedicated to the dwarven kingdom below the top of Mora. Countless farmers grow oats and potatoes on the plains, make bread, brew beer, and trade with dwarves. There will always be plenty of winter clothing for sale and rent.

The road from the hub to the top of Mora is generally considered to be relatively safe. There is no place for monsters to hide here. In this plain, there are many watchtowers built of stone. Dwarf trainee warriors will be sent here, guarding against threats from all directions. Their watchtowers are as strong and efficient as any other dwarven structure. As long as the wolf smoke is lit, the message can be passed quickly. Dwarves have long offered bounties to those who can help the watchtower in time. Whether it is the guards passing by the caravan or the simple adventurers, and even some residents around, they are all willing to help.

Because of this, this plain has always been a very popular land, with a large number of farmers living here, either farming or grazing. Along the way, you will pass many small villages, mostly hospitable places. They have long been accustomed to passing caravans, and they are not afraid of vicious-looking mercenaries. Under the protection of the powerful dwarven kingdom, the inhabitants here can rarely live and work in peace and enjoy a peaceful life.

The dwarves are interested in digging underground, and the huge mountains on the top of Mora and the endless mineral veins beneath them are enough to satisfy the dwarves' hobbies, so this powerful kingdom has never expanded outwards - which also makes the surrounding power great Feel at ease. According to Leah, more than 100 years ago, some dwarves were willing to explore the vast unknown land west of Mora's Peak, but their fate was unknown later.

"If you think Sir Bill is a serious and rigid person, you will change your mind after meeting the dwarf Erinte." The elf said to Siegel: "Elint's last name is Diamond, which is a very A long-established dwarven family name, they have always been known for their tenacity and stubbornness, even by dwarven standards."

"Master Leia, how did you meet? I mean a human, an elf and a dwarf?" Siegel asked curiously.

"Thirty years ago, Bill wasn't a knight, he was just getting started in swordsmanship, so he came to the New World to participate in the knight martial arts competition in the hub. The winner of that competition will probably get the title of knight - you know, he became He became the champion." The elf said slowly: "After that, he also became a recruited knight of the Stadt family, and he needed to serve for at least 20 years before he was granted the territory. It happened that at that time, there was a wave of orcs from the northern plateau. Down, sacked villages and towns along the way, even to Waterdeep. Dwarves, elves, and humans joined forces and decided to teach these greenskin monsters a deep lesson. That's where we met."

"That battle must be exciting!"

"If you saw what I saw at the scene, you wouldn't say that." Leah sighed softly: "For the soldiers on the front line, this battle is naturally full of honor, There are many exciting stories. But for the commanders, war is another matter, a continuation of the game of numbers and politics. In the end, the external threat will always be defeated, but the internal division is the fatal root .Waterdeep City established itself as an independent territory and no longer accepted any leadership; the new forest and the hub castle were on guard against each other, and no one believed the other; All this is more chaotic than it was before the orcs came."

"How could this happen? Can't we all solve the misunderstanding and have a good talk?" Siegel asked.

Even the elves have no answer to this question. In fact, there are many different factions not only among the various races, but also within the elves. From the eyes of other races, elves have long lives, a high degree of culture, and great strength, and they are the spokesmen of grace and civilization. Coria knew that beneath this glamorous surface, the elves also faced divisions and struggles. Many branches of the elves have acted independently, and they are no longer treated as kinsmen and compatriots, and only cold political exchanges remain.

Siegel saw that his master was not in a good mood, so he obediently stepped aside to practice archery—his training schedule was advanced again. Anyway, the crossbow has been damaged in the battle, why not take this opportunity to start slowly touching the bow and arrow? As Sir Bill said before, bows and arrows are skills that last a lifetime.

Now he was still using Leah's longbow, which initially excited him for a while. "A real elven longbow! I've wanted to touch it for a long time," Siegel said. The bow is made of walnut wood with white silver wire wrapped around the surface, and the bow string is made of animal tendons, bamboo pulp and sheep horns. It's light in the hand, but hard to pull up. Siegel has seen Master Leah draw the bow, and the arrow is light and accurate. He never thought that this longbow would be so difficult to use.

"If it doesn't have enough strength, how can the shot be powerful?" Leah didn't look at Siegel when she explained the question, for fear that he would find the smile in her eyes. All the weapons of elves are only suitable for elves. This not only refers to the coordination of weapons and martial arts, but also requires the matching of bloodlines. When people of other races use elven weapons, they will find it difficult to control, very awkward, and unable to use the full strength of these weapons. Few people know about this. Even if some elf weapons circulating outside are indeed from the hands of elves, most of them are only "elf-style" weapons. After transformation and weakening, they are completely inferior to the exclusive weapons of elves.

"Don't worry, I'll show you if there is a suitable longbow in the town ahead." Elf Leia said, "Or if there are suitable materials, I can make one for you."

"Master Leia, are you still a bow maker?"

"Yes. In addition, I can sing, sing, and train new recruits." The elf sullen, as if Sir Bill had returned: "Continue to do your training well, don't be impatient, there is still a lot of time. "

Time never ends, but time also flies by quickly. This evening, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain was about to fall. But they missed the opportunity to find a hotel to rest. There were no villages in the front and rear directions of the road, and there was only a dwarf sentry not far away.

They had to go there in a carriage and try their luck.

The watchtower is not high, only about 8 meters, but it is divided into three layers. If humans and elves go in, they can only bend down, making it very difficult to move. However, this height does not affect dwarves. The sentry tower does not have a gate in the general sense. You can only go to the inside of the sentry tower through a downward flip door in the yard next to it, through the underground corridor. Of course, another way is to climb up from the outer wall of the tower, which is thin at the bottom and thick at the top, and enter from the top.

When Siegel approached here in his car, he could see the yellow fire inside through the lookout hole of the sentry post. The wind outside the tower had taken on the coolness of the pre-rain, so Siegel felt more and more that the fire would be warm and cozy.

At this moment, a thunderous roar came from the tower, and Siegel saw a strong shadow climb up to the wall, shouting: "Stop! Don't come any closer! Explain the purpose!"

The elf stood up from the carriage, saluted and said, "We are passing travelers, our original intention is to go to the top of Mora. Now that the storm is coming, we are looking for a place to stay overnight."

"You can't enter the tower," the dwarf said.

"Be accommodating." Leah asked: "We are friends of the dwarf Erinte-Diamond, and this time we came to Mora's Top at his call. He once said that we are him (Lea replaced it with Dwarven) brother who can rest while drunk."

The dwarves had a quick and heated discussion in the sentry tower, and then another dwarf climbed to the top of the sentry tower. Because it was already dark, neither Siegel nor his master could see the dwarf's appearance, but this did not affect the dwarves who could see in the dark to look at them.

"You still can't enter the sentry. But you claim to be friends of Erinte-Diamond, and I happen to know such a stubborn rock~www.readwn.com~ So I will offer you some help privately." After that, he put A big bag was dropped. "This is a simple tent, you can use it to shelter from the wind and rain. But there is a requirement that you must leave the post more than two hundred paces."

After speaking, the dwarf returned to the tower.

First, thanking the dwarf for his help, Siegel then picked up the tent. It was only when he started to realize that the tent was very thick and heavy. It was made of several layers of different fabrics superimposed and stitched together. The outside of the tent felt smooth and flat, but the inside was fluffy and soft.

"This tent is unusual." Leah said, "Take care of it and return it to them tomorrow morning."

Following the instructions of the dwarf, the two set up the tent at a distance, and at this time, the rain began to fall. The two had no time to make hot food, so they could only hide in the tent as soon as possible.

A loud thunder blasted overhead, and pouring rain fell from the sky. The rain fell on the tent and rolled down as large water droplets, which could not wet the fabric on the surface at all.

This tent is an integrated roof and cushions, as long as the curtain is drawn after entering, it will become a closed space. The heavy rain outside did not affect the inside of the tent in the slightest, and the inside still maintained a comfortable temperature. There were only two things that Siegel found to be lacking, the height of the tent and the lack of any lighting inside.

"The eyes of the dwarves have long been adapted to the dark environment of the ground. The tent is completely covered with fabrics and can't catch fire, so it doesn't hinder them." The elf explained: "Okay, just go to bed early for one night. "
