Twenty Sided Dice

? In the face of war, even a sumptuous dinner can hardly whet your appetite, except for the half-orc Hunk. ￥℉, seeing the food on the plate getting colder, Siegel summoned the fire element to reheat it for everyone.

"Janet, you also have something to do." Siegel suddenly turned his head and said to her: "In addition to taking care of Isaac, you have to take charge of the internal affairs of the entire Heimland. The three secretaries recommended by Feizac are now How? It's all up to you to manage."

"If you're only in charge of materials and deployment, it's not difficult, and it won't involve too much energy." Janet said, "Don't talk about me, the clerks can complete this matter, so do you have anything else to arrange for me? ?"

Siegel shook his head and reminded her: "I estimate that there will be a large number of refugees soon, and Leader Heim must be prepared. It is impossible for us to accept all of them. If necessary, you can contact other lords in the south. Keep abreast of the progress of the war."

Only then did Janet understand the burden on her body and nodded solemnly.

"As for my mission, I'll tell you about it too." Siegel's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and after taking a long breath, he said, "I'll go to the city wall mountain pass first, and try to get through it as soon as possible. , and then arrange negotiations with the barbarians on the opposite side of the mountain to find a strategic space for the Heim Territory. At the same time, I will study the weaknesses of the ancient trees of war, hoping that ordinary soldiers can have enough fighting ability when facing the ancient trees. The elves If the magician of the elf appears, the Heimland will suffer the disaster. At that time, everyone must retreat from the secret passage. This is a dead order. However, I will find a way to make the elf mages turn their attention to the Knox Common Council to Avoid the possibility of the destruction of Heimland."

"There are a lot of other details. I already have ideas, but I need to implement them step by step." Siegel turned his attention to Janet, grabbed her hand, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't come up with all of them now. You must control your emotions to avoid further deterioration. But don’t worry. I will definitely solve this problem.”

Janet clapped his hand and showed a warm smile: "Don't worry, I will pay attention."

Then, Siegel raised his glass. He said to everyone present: "I don't want to deceive everyone and say that we have the possibility of winning. However, although Heimland is in the cracks, it is far from desperate, and I have found a glimmer of hope. As the lord of Heimland, I swear to protect the people of the territory. Just as a captain protects his crew in the storm. Even in the face of the storm, I will let this ship sail into a safe port. You are my knights and my brothers and friends, Whether it's because of vows or ideals, go forward with me!"

Seeing that everyone finished their wine happily, Siegel picked up the knife, inserted it into the pumpkin pie, and announced the official start of the dinner. Despite his poor appetite, Dan Siegel devoured what was in front of him bit by bit. I have to say, the chef is still very hardworking. But their lords had no food on their minds, only worries about the future.

There was very little talk except Humke, so the dinner ended quickly. Siegel took Janet's hand and walked slowly on the walls of Myr City, enjoying the last leisure time. They encountered a listless guard on their way, and when the other party saw the lord and his wife, he hurriedly stood at attention and almost dropped his helmet. Siegel patted him on the shoulder and gave him a word of encouragement to keep him from getting nervous.

"You are an unlucky lord." Janet covered her mouth and chuckled. Trying to make Siegel happy: "I am afraid that the nobles of the Star Kingdom will never encounter a decent war in their lifetime. You have encountered three times in just a few years."

Siegel shook his head, feeling helpless himself: "I originally obtained the territory so that the research on magic would have sufficient financial support. Of course, I also want the people in the territory to live a good life. But that is only one of the reasons, That's all. You also know that I have no experience in the day-to-day management of the territory. I don't ask what the people grow, eat, or wear. Apart from digging gold mines, I don't contribute much to the territory. He brought war."

"You didn't bring the war, and you won both times beautifully." Janet rested her head on Siegel's chest. The two cuddled up on the tower. "The war did take its toll, but the population of the territory has grown a lot more than before. Not just the orcs and dwarves, but the humans themselves have also grown considerably. In addition to the many immigrants, there have been many children born recently, and they all feel like living It will be better if they can afford children and feel safe. Do you think they want a lord who is familiar with planting and raising? No, everyone hopes that someone can stand up in times of crisis and bring victory. You did very well."

"Thank you for comforting me." Siegel kissed Janet softly, then said, "I can't make it without your comfort."

"I understand." Janet responded, "I understand how you feel."

As the lord of Heim Territory, tens of thousands of people in the territory are paying attention to him. This pressure is like reality, and it is heavy in Siegel's heart. He was a fine sailor, a qualified warrior, a gifted magician and a lucky lord, but he was only twenty years old. Although he spent his days imitating Sir Bill, trying to make himself look more mature, and using the mystique of magic to enhance his momentum, he was only a young man himself.

Anxiety, sadness, fear, these emotions were hidden by him hard, and when it was uncontrollable, he even needed to become a undead state to get through. It was only when he faced Janet that he could relax and show these emotions.

The two stood quietly on the tower, and no one spoke for a long time, enjoying the rare tranquility. The wind in the night gradually became colder, but there were air elements around to separate the cold wind, and fire elements provided the temperature, and they didn't feel autumn at all.

Many people in Myr City saw this scene and sent blessings to the lord couple in their hearts. Many people gradually calmed down from the fear of war, and the seeds of hope in their hearts began to sprout.

A few words at the meeting are arranged, it does not mean that things will develop as expected, and someone must make unremitting efforts or even sacrifice for victory. The next day before dawn, Siegel gently kissed his wife and son goodbye, took his scroll box, and came to the depths of the passage of the city wall.

It was a wide, low passage, and the roof sometimes touched Siegel's head. In order to avoid the rune formation of the City Wall Mountains, the dwarves made this passage curved and twisted up and down like earthworms.

To transport the excavated sand, the dwarves built a system of ziplines. Several orcs are responsible for continuously pulling the ropes to transport the deep earth and rocks out. The work doesn't stop day and night, so the aisles are filled with a mix of dust and sweat.

Every two meters of the passage, there will be a pair of dwarven rune stones on the wall. These runes are specific to the rune system of the Walled Mountains. function as a hidden channel. They also emit a faint opalescent glow, with illumination provided in the microchannels.

Since this is a tunnel that has not yet penetrated, the air circulation is poor, and it gradually becomes unable to support breathing as it is further away from the hole. Fortunately, Heim has an elemental rune guard, so there is always an air element blowing deep into the passage with fresh air. Make an effort to improve the breathing environment ahead. It is with this guarantee that the channel can continue to extend forward, and the construction period has not stopped for a day.

Torches are not allowed to be lit here, but also to save air. Siegel kept advancing along the crooked passage, increasing his speed with the use of spiritism. But even so, he walked all day to find the end of the passage.

The air here is already very turbid. If ordinary people come, they will soon have headaches, dizziness and even suffocation. The dwarves relied on their strong bodies to persevere here, but their somewhat purple faces also constantly reminded Siegel that dwarves also have limits.

"I brought you some goodies." Siegel took out two space bags and opened one of them. A stream of air spews out of the space bag. Instantly made the surrounding atmosphere much better. "There is still some food in this bag, and there is air and food in the other bag. When you feel uncomfortable, take a breath and at least relieve it."

"Thank you." The dwarf Locke's beard shook. Long hours of underground labor made them form a short and concise way of speaking. He pointed with a finger and said, "Hold."

Siegel nodded in understanding. To save the air here, he used his wand to write in the air, and the dwarves responded with body language. After confirming the direction of the previous excavation, Siegel took over the rune guard core that controlled the earth element and improved it with his latest skills.

He added a part of the rune of the energy focusing lens. As a source of energy for the Elemental Rune Guard, it was transformed into a directional device. A part of the core is aimed at the earth and rock layer ahead, and the energy focusing lens will continuously absorb the earth element energy there after receiving the command. At the same time, the core uses the absorbed energy to create the earth element. Keep digging.

This makes the soil in front of it unusually soft, which greatly speeds up the excavation.

It's just that it's not easy to maintain such a speed, because the person holding the core must be very careful not to use it to target the summoned earth element. Summons will be disintegrated by the core and will take a while to be used again.

Siegel found that doing this did increase the maximum speed ~www.readwn.com~ but it didn't save manpower at all. There must be room for improvement in this. It is in this environment that the mage's spell progresses.

Soon, he thought of Nyx's plasma rune system, converting all energy into a single plasma structure and then converting it back when needed. Nekos can convert complex elemental effects, such as ice, electricity, lava, etc., such a rune array Siegel knows the general principle, but the spell level is not enough to achieve. But he can try to convert to a single basic element.

The mages believed that electricity was formed by mixing the elements of air and fire, so Siegel turned the elemental energy into a plasma system, and then into the air element. Instead of digging with earth elements, he drilled with wind pressure. Since the Rune Elemental Core absorbs the Earth Element, it doesn't matter if you aim at the Giant Air Elemental. The rock turned into dirt, which was then swept away by the whirlwind and thrown back, much faster than the Earth Elemental digging down with his hands. The passage was soon filled with a new layer of soil, and Siegel supported the force field wall to avoid being buried with the dwarves.

The violently swirling wind keeps the air flowing, and the passage is much better. Siegel continued to use magic to compress the excavated soil, reducing its size and weight so that the ropeway system could withstand the additional work. The dwarves worked hard to set runes on the newly excavated walls, and sometimes they had to temporarily stop the air elements, so as not to be discovered by the Wall Mountains because the runes could not keep up with the progress.
