Twenty Sided Dice

?After the conversation at the Inn on the Night of the Storm, when the anti-detection barrier was withdrawn, William turned back to the cynical, "hanging out" archmage all day long. ●⌒,. He hides his thoughts and ideas deeply under this mask, and only shows the wrong impression to others.

Which state is the real one? Or was that conversation just another face of Archmage William? After all, he is known for his ability to shapeshift, and he has unparalleled control over physical appearance, limbs, and muscles. Siegel chewed on what others said, hoping to tell the difference between sweet water and scum like eating sugar cane, but it wasn't as easy as he thought.

After another three days in Creekwood, the dwarves of Mora's Pinnacle arrived. As one of the organizers of the meeting, Mora's Top sent a team of 60 people, who came from the cloak avenue. They use giant lizards to pull carts, and they are guarded by heavily armed soldiers.

Creekwood is far from the top of Mora, but everyone here has heard of the power and beauty of the dwarves. They didn't know that the dwarves suffered serious losses in the battle with the goblin world. They only knew that the humans were barely tied in the battle with the elves, and the dwarves were still strong, so they came out to watch the dwarves' team. They were excited by the giant lizards specializing in the Walled Mountains, and even more so by the elite soldiers armed with dwarven spears and axes.

Only Siegel and William could see clearly: there were not many dwarf elders in this team, and the oldest age group was only middle-aged, that is, about two hundred years old. In dwarven society, people of this age should be the main force of warriors, but they are too young to be envoys.

Their equipment is not the most sophisticated, and they can't even make everyone have magical armor, and many of their weapons are just ordinary and exquisite, not even magic weapons. But whether this is the real situation or just an appearance, Siegel is not quite sure. Given the current tense relationship between Mora's Top and Heim's Land, both are possible.

They stopped outside the walls of Creekwood, but the lizard knights didn't. A red-bearded dwarf in the lead solemnly took out a horn wrapped in red cloth from the baggage behind him, and put it to his mouth and blew it vigorously. The sound of the horn is very loud, but the pitch is extremely low. The dwarves used more and more strength. The sound of the horn became lower and lower, and then the human ear could not hear it.

Siegel could feel the vibrations of the elements in the air, so he knew the horn was still making sounds. This kind of vibration has no response when it encounters the ground, but when it reaches the water surface, it arouses the resonance of the water element. The power of the waves and waves joins in as well. Let this shock become stronger and spread farther.

Not long after, another trumpet sound came from the horizon line, with rhythmic changes, as if speaking. The dwarves at Mora's Pinnacle stopped blowing their horns. The horn was re-wrapped with red cloth and installed solemnly. They bypassed the location of the town gate and walked towards the cliff on the north side of Ximu Town.

Siegel also heard the movement at the end of the sea, so he looked over. In the middle of the blue water, an island-like behemoth was rising from the bottom of the water. "Damn dwarf! No wonder I couldn't find it. It turned out that the unsinkable stone boat was under water! We were completely misled by its name!" Archmage William muttered.

Not sinking doesn't mean you have to float, Siegel thought to himself, but he didn't need to say it, didn't he think of this possibility? Unsinkable stone boats must stay underwater all year round, like a moving coral reef. Now it has surfaced. You can also see the layers of corals, sea anemones, starfish and other creatures on the surface. Large quantities of seawater flow along the uneven surface, and clever fish take this last chance to escape by water. Siegel saw a shark stranded on a coral reef, struggling to the death, with broken coral leaving countless bleeding wounds on its body.

Right next to the struggling shark, Siegel saw four dwarves carrying a horn that was more than three meters long, and the dwarf blowing the horn was "stocky and heavy: there is no better adjective to describe this dwarf, I believe that only such a body can blow this behemoth.

Unsinkable stone boats have no sails, but their speed in the sea is not slow at all. As it gradually approached the shore, Siegel saw dwarves one after another walking on top of it, and began to deal with the trapped sea creatures. They throw most of the fish back into the sea. And take a pickaxe and a shovel to clear a passage.

Only after getting closer did Siegel see the buildings on the island. There are two prominent castles built on the unsinkable stone boat. Although they are not high, they still have the sturdy and thick architectural style of the dwarves. Ships operating underwater certainly don't have windows that can be opened, and dwarves use clear crystals as viewing ports on castles. There are now dwarven artisans in charge of cleaning up the creatures attached to it.

The unsinkable stone boat simply ignored the ups and downs near the coastline, and rushed over while crushing the reefs and seabed all the way. The waves it caused were not a big deal, and the nearly ring-shaped harbor in Ximu Town could block most of the waves. However, the shock of the island hitting the ground was not so easy to handle. It was almost a small earthquake.

The houses in Ximu Town are still relatively strong to withstand the sea breeze, but the double-decker seaport built on the cliff is full of cranes, which dangle in the earthquake. As a result, the heavy objects on the boom are constantly swinging. The people in the bottom seaport shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! There is danger!" The man who controlled the boom pulled up hard, hoping to put away the cargo quickly.

But the accident still happened. As the unsinkable stone boat slammed into the new continent heavily, the entire Ximu Town shook violently. A lot of unsecured things fell from the cliff, not only the cargo on the boom, but even the winch crane began to fall. William raised his arms, transformed into two pairs of wings of different colors, flew over at a very fast speed, and rushed to the bottom seaport to protect the people there. Siegel also rose into the air, summoning a large group of small air elements to swoosh up.

Two archmages joined forces, one shot down the falling objects in the air, and the other supported the protective barrier below. The fall caused by the earthquake cost Ximu a lot of goods, but not lives. A few bruises and fractures are unavoidable, and prompt treatment by a doctor or priest will not leave a disability.

Siegel and William teamed up to repair some of the damaged facilities to at least restore them to their normal state. They received heartfelt thanks from the residents of the town, and by the way, the two did some publicity for Heimland and the Association of Mages. Everyone likes the name of the federation, but when it comes to Heim's collar, it has caused a lot of controversy.

"The Rabbit Harbor in the south has stolen a lot of business, and many ships are no longer docked here." They talked a lot: "I heard that the rabbits have made a lot of money, but we poor people can only suffer here."

"Why don't you go to Rabbit Ear Harbor? With the rise of Heimland's business, there has always been a shortage of people there." Siegel did not dare to say that he was the lord of Heimland.

"There is an opportunity to make money, but what about the family?" Someone replied: "People can go there. But what about the land, just leave it here?" Another said: "Even if there is no land, it is not enough for the whole family to live well. Easy. Young people who haven't started a family can break in, but most can't."

But the words of an old man alarmed Siegel the most. "I heard that the Great Earl of Heimland is building some magical wonders. It is said that the two continents, the old and the new, will be connected in series, and there will be no need for sea transportation in the future. What can we coolies do when we continue to have no jobs? ? At least there are ships here for us."

Siegel walked silently to the cliff, staring at the behemoth built by the dwarves on the sea. The words of the residents of Ximu Town are very reasonable. It is impossible for people's lives to change so quickly. The teleportation circle is indeed the advancement of magic. Will transform Heimland with a whole new power. But people won't change as fast as a spell. While rapidly promoting the construction of Heimland magic, is it destined to sacrifice the happy life of one generation or even two generations?

This is different from the goblin's musket weapon. War is life and death, and if you don't get used to it soon, you will have nothing but a sad sigh. The serial teleportation formation is to allow Heimland to have influence on the Old World, mainly the Kingdom of Stars, and to show that the Federation is ahead in spell research. While reaping huge benefits, we must also think about who has lost in the process.

The serial teleportation array must be built. Its advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, but it does not mean that the existence of disadvantages can be ignored. Different from the teleportation arrays in Myr City and Rabbit Ear Port, it replaced the land transportation that had no scale in the first place, and the cross-sea teleportation array affected the already booming and large-scale shipping. How many captains would go pirates without a job. Those transfer points in the middle of the ocean must not constantly face their invasion and destruction?

It is necessary to find a way to buffer the negative impact of this magic project on various industries in Heimland, just like asking the knights of the territory to study the tactical methods of pure long-range warfare in advance.

"Siegel, what are you thinking, it's time to get on the boat." William flew to his side and said with his wings retracted. "If you encounter a dwarf on the top of Mora, I will help you block it. You are not only the lord of Heim Land, but also the archmage of our federation! What if you are the king of dwarves? Besides, the top of Mora is nothing but a part of the dwarven kingdom."

"Thank you, I need to write an order first for the entourage knights to take back. They can't get on the ship, but they can still deliver the letter~www.readwn.com~ If possible. You wait for me a moment."

"Okay, you're busy first, and I'll go to the pier to see it. After the Knox Commons, there will be no managers here. The elders elected by everyone are not good at all, and they dare not go there. Ask the dwarves for compensation!" William shrugged and said helplessly: "But even if the dwarves don't care, as a human, I can't help but help. Since you happen to be in trouble, I will reinforce the buildings here for them."

William waved his hand and strode to the cliff pier again. Siegel called the squire. Have them get their pen and paper ready and write to Isaac. In Siegel's absence, Isaac was the lord of Myr and the object of allegiance to the knights of Helm.

Little Isaac naturally couldn't read the letter, but this letter could only be written for Janet and Manna to worry about when he executed it.

The construction of the cross-sea teleportation array still needs to ensure the construction period and quality, and now there is a new task: although the promotion of the cross-sea teleportation array is fast, the transportation volume is very limited and the cost is very expensive, so that the owners of the freight can be assured. At the same time, the cost of using the teleportation array is greatly increased, so that those goods that are very concerned about the speed of transportation can afford the cost.

Allowing everyone to have a process of acceptance and adaptation, while also hiding the true strength, is much better than the initial plan. (To be continued.)
