Twenty Sided Dice

readx(); "Where are you from, Mr. Soth?" Wendy walked slowly to the table and picked up an orange. With her slender fingers, she slowly peeled away the orange peel, revealing the juicy pulp. Some orange juice ran down her fingers, and she raised her hand and put her finger to her mouth and sucked gently.

After only two seconds, Wendy suddenly felt that her actions were a little out of place, and quickly stopped sucking. She hurriedly handed over the orange, but hurriedly took it back.

"I'm from Ximu Town." Siegel reached out and took the orange from Wendy's palm, took a sip of the juice, and then put the two pieces of pulp in his mouth, with Wendy's residual body temperature on it. After swallowing it, he said with a smile: "You must have heard of that place, it is a bustling and lively small port, you can see all kinds of happy people every day, all kinds of accents and customs will appear there, and there are many every day. Things to see and many things to do. How about you?"

"I'm from Bunu, a small castle in the east of the Starry Kingdom. My father was a knight of the lord. It's a beautiful place that produces the most beautiful diamonds in the entire continent."

"It turns out that you are a young lady." Siegel saw the ceremony again and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Bunu City has lost its most beautiful diamond, and only the people in the hub can see it."

"No one has ever complimented me like this." Wendy lowered her head, a little embarrassed. She crossed her fingers and said as she recalled: "I didn't like female red when I was young, and I never knew how to sew. My parents died early, and I didn't have any siblings. I was useless, even myself I can't take care of it, I've never dressed up." She blushed brightly, and said to Siegel, "It's the first time I've dressed like this, so I don't know if it's appropriate or not."

"You look beautiful in this, there's nothing wrong with it." Siegel's words made Wendy tremble a bit, then relaxed. He continued: "Being comfortable with yourself is the most basic, and only on this basis can you have beauty. I observe you and feel that you are sometimes very insecure. And this kind of emotion is not good for you. You need to learn to regulate your emotions, to Knowing that regulating your emotions is often more important than learning spells. Was the accident you nearly had a long time ago related to your recent restlessness? Can you tell me what happened?"

Wendy nodded and clenched her clothes tightly with her fingers. Keep rubbing gently. After plucking up her courage, she said, "I saw three shadows when I was going upstairs, and they...they were talking to me. I don't know what happened, but I'm sure it wasn't a hallucination or a psychic spell. .I was terrified at the time and couldn't figure out why this happened in the mage tower."

"Are you afraid of the dead?"

Wendy looked up. Look into Siegel's eyes. He saw a pair of eyes full of sadness and sympathy, a pair of eyes that could penetrate her heart. At other times, she will be very careful with other mages, especially with regard to psychological weaknesses. But under the influence of the red magic tower, she didn't feel any danger, she only felt a faint warmth from Siegel's voice, which made her feel safe.

"It's okay if you don't want to answer," Siegel leaned back in his chair, a little further away. The shadow of the hood just covered his face, and those eyes that Wendy liked hid behind the darkness. Can't see.

"No, it's nothing." Wendy hurriedly said, "I'm really afraid of the undead, and my whole body trembles when I think about it. In fact, there's nothing to keep secret. Many people in the Mage Federation know this."

"I didn't know it before." Siegel approached her again and said to her: "I spent too much time on the mission, and I have not been in the Three Peaks Pagoda all the year round, otherwise I would have known you long ago. I will definitely ask about you everywhere, Then get to know you and help you. When it comes to the undead, I have dealt with the undead all the year round. I know something about them."

"Are you a Necromancer?"

"No, I'd be ashamed in front of you that way." Siegel shook his head and took out his wand. He chanted the incantation softly, and a creature summoned the spell into a conjuration orb. Slowly floating in his palm. "Look, I'm a conjurer. I help others, and I call for help. I've always been alone, but often need help with various tasks."

Siegel kept mentioning the "mission", which finally aroused Wendy's curiosity. "Can you tell me what you are doing in the mage tower?"

After a moment of silence. Siegel stretched out his hand and pressed it on Wendy's wrist. Wendy's fingers trembled, and the soft feeling of the velvet cuffs of his robe rubbing against each other was clearly transmitted, a faint sweetness mixed with spices and petals, and a smell unique to men. She looked down and saw that Siegel's fingers were not as slender as other mages, but as strong as warriors. The broad palms and sturdy fingers, there was a burning sensation from the fingertips.

She leaned over involuntarily, wondering if Siegel felt the same warmth.

"Wendy, I really need help now, but I have to be able to trust you." Siegel tapped her finger on her wrist and said, "Can you tell me something and keep it a secret?"

"Anything is fine!" Wendy blurted out. She felt her lips dry and weak, and added in a low voice, "I'll definitely help you."

Siegel watched her being affected by the spell step by step. The power of the magic tower had basically accumulated to the limit. If it accumulated a little more, it might trigger Wendy's protective spell. It's a dangerous game that tests spell control and understanding of mind-affecting states.

Just like walking on the narrow road beside the abyss, if you take a wrong step, you will never have a chance to recover. As long as any protective spell is triggered, no matter how hot Wendy is, she will definitely launch a counterattack. Siegel needs to crack the opponent's spell protection layer by layer in order to regain the advantage.

But presumably at that time, the red magic tower was already alarming, and he was about to face the siege of many mages.

So now you have to be careful not to keep pouring fuel on the dry wood.

"Your heart is beating fast, but I need you to calm down for a while." Siegel persuaded: "I came to investigate the magic accident that happened before this magic tower. Three mages died here, and the reason given was a spell experiment. fail."

"I've heard about this, it's an ominous place." Wendy licked her dry lips, and said, "Sometimes, I can feel the unease from the magical fluctuations, as if I'm thinking for those three mourning a dead man. Do you feel that way?"

Siegel tapped her wrist in between—a pulse tells a lot—before continuing: "Feelings are important, but facts are more important when investigating. A mage that hasn't been built yet. Tower, there will be people doing magic experiments here. This thing is too far-fetched? Besides, what kind of magic experiments will make people eat themselves?"

Wendy's breathing became rapid, her fear appeared, and the feeling of stability and happiness was disappearing. Siegel couldn't let her emotions get out of his control. He stroked her palm lines with his fingers, and then got closer, allowing his breath to be slowly delivered as he spoke. "Don't worry, I'm here. You may have heard some news, and most of it is true. There are people in the Federation who want to know what the failed spell is. Even if it is dangerous, it is worth learning, and I am here to investigate. of."

"Then what do you think?" Wendy's brief sobriety made her eyes sparkle. She hasn't realized the change in her state yet, but Siegel's next answer will definitely affect her attitude.

Siegel gave a reassuring smile. What kind of answer would a young woman who is afraid of the dead and specializes in protection spells like? Does she want to pursue the thrill of danger, or is she away from right and wrong? Is more intellectual curiosity or prudence prevailing?

He spoke softly, as if chanting the most beautiful mantra. "I want to know what happened so this tragedy doesn't happen again."

Wendy's eyes smiled, she was satisfied with the answer and relaxed again.

After this hurdle, Siegel was confident to move on. He said to Wendy: "Could the ghosts you see be the three dead mages? I've investigated everywhere in this tower. I found the place where they died, but only the tragic traces left by the **, But there is no residual energy fluctuation of the soul."

Wendy squinted her eyes, shook her head slightly and replied, "This tower has powerful magical protection, which can continuously absorb the residual fluctuations around it. It is normal that you can't find it. I have to inspect this tower frequently and strengthen it from time to time. Those weakened magic circles."

"No, it's not normal." Siegel said: "When this tower was being built, it was reported as a magic test tower. If even the residual fluctuations are absorbed, how can we find the reason after failure? Three Peaks Tower Farah The test room of Dr. Nice. It even specially made a magic circle to prolong the residual time of fluctuations, so that the spell process can be better reproduced. I think someone is covering up something, and I have to find the answer."

These remarks obviously made Wendy's sense of crisis rise, but fortunately she was trying to find safety in Siegel. Use the magic tower's influence. Siegel has become a reliable presence within Wendy's "circle".

The female mage looked around and said in a low voice: "I think the people from the Knox Common Association are the most likely. They are always in groups and look at others with strange eyes. I am very worried about them. If there is a problem , you have to find them first."

"I've been doing this." Siegel said, "This tower has been absorbing magic fluctuations. What is it used for? I calculated that the protective ability of the magic tower itself can be done without absorbing additional magic fluctuations. There. I suspect that this tower has a secret storage place for magic power, and the souls of those three mages have also been sucked into it."

Wendy's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "It's very possible what you said. Maybe what I saw was the afterimages of those three people."

"You think the same as me~www.readwn.com~" Siegel said: "It's all like fate, a conjurer, a protector. Will you be able to protect me behind my back while I'm on a mission? I think I've been noticed by those in the Knox Commons. Maybe you are by my side and can take their eyes away. "

Wendy nodded, the feeling of being needed made her very comfortable, she suddenly had the idea of ​​hugging him tightly, connecting her warmth with his. The urge made her nervous, but beneath the tension was excitement.

She stretched out her arms and said in a trembling voice: "Oh, Mr. Mage, I will use myself to help you..." (To be continued.)
