Twenty Sided Dice

A few months later, Ximu Town.

"I think you're such a restless character, William, where did you catch this giant squid?"

"In the deep sea, of course - the giant squid can't fly. I happened to see it fighting a sperm whale, so I killed it and brought it back. I killed it with an ice pick to preserve its taste, but No necromancy was used."

This behemoth, which was nearly 100 meters long and weighed 80 tons, was carried by William in his hands, and its soft tentacles were scattered on the sea, blocking part of the waterway. The port of Ximu Town was not big, and it was basically paralyzed by it. Even if Master William brought the squid back, Ximu Town did not have enough lifting power to drag it up.

"I can't eat squid, and I can't help you cook." Siegel shook his head helplessly, then turned and left. "The trouble you dragged back, you can handle it yourself."

"Don't be like this, the squid is just your surname, not your totem, isn't it just in time?" William released his hand, threw the giant squid into the harbor, and flew to chase Siegel. "You're already a master, and you still believe in name curses? Don't tell me you're really so superstitious."

Siegel raised his hands and shouted to the sky, "Oh my God! Why is this happening!" He quickened his pace until he returned to the hotel. William smiled hehely behind him, with a cynical look.

The inn is called Stormy Night, and the stew here is still the same as in the past, full of the taste of the sea and freedom. The whole New World is changing, but here has not changed at all, and Siegel has to be very emotional. as a ** teacher. He can cast spells to conjure mansions. Live comfortably inside. However, when he came to Ximu Town, he did not eat a stew of Timothy, the owner of the wine lees nose, on the night of the storm. That must bring bad luck, it is not superstition.

The owner was as enthusiastic as ever, and he didn't overcharge Siegel for his exquisite clothes, but at most just added a few prawns to the hodgepodge stew. The only thing he complained about was Siegel's behavior of contracting the entire hotel. Although he paid enough for the room, it was obviously not friendly enough. Until Siegel gave him five hundred silver coins, and asked him to give it to the guests as compensation for the full house if he encountered someone inquiring about the accommodation. Then he smiled again.

"Reputation is more important than money, my dark-haired child, remember my words." Timothy rubbed his red, shiny nose and decided to go to the kitchen to get busy. Siegel paid, but he couldn't eat what was prepared for the number of rooms. Seafood is easy to spoil, so it is better to make it and distribute it to the coolies on the dock, which is also a good deed.

"Actually, it's easier to summon the Mage's secret room or cast the hidden mansion spell. Why do you have to live here?" After following Siegel into the inn, William put away his playful expression and became serious again. "Can you tell me who you are guarding against?".

"Anyone. I don't know who it is." Siegel snapped his fingers, and the magic barrier hidden in the corner of the hotel began to work. Send misinformation out and cover up their conversation. "Still can't find the dwarf's unsinkable stone boat?".

"That's right, I don't understand that. According to the records of the dwarves, the unsinkable stone boat transported 100,000 dwarves across the sea at one time. Even if the space-type runes were used, they should have a large volume. I flew back and forth on the sea several times, and I also explored the shadow world, but there was no clue."

"Do you think it's possible that the dwarves have mastered some kind of stealth technology that we don't know about, and can hide a large ship?" This is what Siegel is most worried about. If such a dwarven rune existed, it would be possible for them to hide the weakness of the crystal wall from other races—as William planned.

William secretly went around the Goblin Crystal Wall System, and used spells to search for weak spots in the crystal wall, and found three places in total. After returning to the New World, he found a place in the north of the Walled Mountains, near the Holy Land of the Jackdaw Tribe, not far from where Siegel discovered the Golem Red. He used the magic barrier to hide this location, and then went to find the other two.

To the east of the Starry Kingdom, there is a weak point in the crystal wall of the Kasa Valley that borders the Elf Kingdom. William saw his colleagues in the Mage Association there and avoided it from afar. The last one is in the ocean between the two continents, at a depth of tens of thousands of meters, and even if it changes into a sea monster, it cannot reach that depth.

After William returned to the Federation, he informed the chiefs of the various factions of the council about the situation. A crystal wall system represents countless opportunities and massive resources, which can make anyone earn a lot of money. The Security Council voted on the matter, and Siegel cast one of two abstentions. With everything else in favor, the Federation decided to keep the secret and began planning to enter the world of goblins.

"William, I still don't think it's a good idea to hide a crystal wall entrance and exit. Could it be possible to defend this entrance and exit with the power of the Federation and gain benefits from it? I think the risk is too great, far higher than the possible benefits." Siegel said: "The dwarves have already stumbled over this matter. Their bodies have floated down the Shield River, and a lot of lives have been taken away. I don't want to see the same situation for the mages: dead bodies everywhere."

"I know your good intentions, but we are not dwarves after all. Their methods are single, lack of flexibility, and their strategy is wrong from the beginning." William confidently smiled: "The dwarves want to destroy the goblins, occupy the That world, and then immigrate to the past. The most mentally retarded immigration method in the world is war, which is not immigration but colonization. The wrong method brings wrong results. The dwarf's combat effectiveness is very high, but the tactics are too single, just by the goblins The muskets are restrained to death. The purpose of the Federation is very clear, enter, sneak, learn, loot. Killing a goblin or killing a hundred million goblins is not good for the Federation. Only knowledge, and to support research The various resources of knowledge are the valuable things.”

William saw very clearly that Siegel was a conservative to a certain extent. He can take risks, but he only uses his own safety as a risk chip. Never want to count the lives of others. This is especially true in the face of war. Just look at the preparations he made in Heimland.

If an arms race can be used to dissuade the opponent from the idea of ​​war. Siegel would be happy to have all the weapons made, scare off the enemy, and then end up wasting all to rusted scrap in the warehouse. A person with such a character will not approve of any risky move unless war is inevitable, unless he has sufficient judgment and preparation for the entire situation.

"Siegel, the Mage Association has already started to operate one of the crystal wall passages. If it wasn't for the one that I used to hide the northern mountain range, I'm afraid they would have already discovered it. You can choose a safe way, but don't underestimate the Mage. The power of the association. If we don't catch up, we will soon be eliminated. Just having a more relaxed environment and ideas cannot really last. For mages, the opportunity to learn magic and the foundation of knowledge are really decisive. Appeal."

"What happened the last time the Federation took such a risky move, isn't the lesson of the Knox Common Council enough?". Siegel shook his head, still unconvinced: "Are you sure you won't say at the meeting of the dwarves that there is still a weak point in the crystal wall in the north?"

"As long as the Mage Association doesn't mention this, then don't say it." William looked at Siegel with a firm gaze: "Since the Mage Association has found one of the weak points, they must be like me. There is a way to know the weakness. The total number of points. Although the northern mountains are now covered by my magic, I believe in five years. The Mages Association will definitely be able to find out the detailed location. Don't take chances with their reconnaissance ability, Liel is not ordinary Prophet."

"Ha! Is he still an all-knowing and almighty God?".

Unexpectedly, William didn't mean to be amused at all, and his expression became more serious. He took out his wand and cast a few more spells to strengthen the anti-peeping and prophecy here. Even so, he stood up and paced around the room with a hesitant expression on his face.

"Come on, you've piqued my curiosity," Siegel said.

"Okay, you always have to meet Master Lier, so it's good to be mentally prepared in advance." William sat down, looked at his toes, and said, "Lier is different from all teachers, He is the only prophecy master in the entire history with special abilities related to prophecy. His true power is uncertain, but we speculate that his special ability is to escape death. He has lived in this world for at least four years A thousand to five thousand years, that's the limit of the records we can find."

"Undead?" Siegel thought of this first: "Is he disguised by a lich?".

"Of course not. The Mages Association and the Academy will never watch a lich sit in that seat." William said: "You know I like to travel, but if I only have to walk on the old and new continents, I will also I won't be famous for this. I've been to many places, other realms, other planes. I've seen over twenty different worlds before I became a magician. One thing has always been It surprises me that there is no magic **** in our world."

"There is a saying that it's not because the mages don't trust the gods~www.readwn.com~, so the magical priesthood cannot obtain a stable power of belief, so it has been vacant?" Siegel recalled the books he had read, and then said: "What does this have to do with Lier?"

"Magic God is a concept, a kind of power. Even creatures lacking intelligence and power like slime monsters can give birth to gods, why not magic? So we have a conjecture that although the magic **** exists, he Hiding his power, never answering the prayers of mages. Instead, he came to this world and observed us with a mortal mortal. There will always be a prophet in the city, but never more than one. When this After the mage dies because of his lifespan, within 30 years, another prophecy master will appear to take his place. This pattern has lasted for more than a thousand years. Before that, the great prophecy master appeared in Elves, he lived for more than 3,400 years."

Siegel was silent and could only listen quietly.

"It is more difficult to trace the history forward, mainly because the elves did not pay attention to this aspect, and there are very few related records. But it is certain that at the same time, there is only one model of the prophecy system master that can be traced back to at least 13,000. Years ago." William said, "Just when the Wall of Storms took shape and enveloped the whole world." (To be continued.)
