Twenty Sided Dice

? Getting back to the top of Mora feels just as good as last time, and Siegel's persistence has earned him more credit. The dwarves re-created the golden belt for him, and at the suggestion of Taklin, several rune masters personally carved the enchantment. In addition to granting Siegel's dwarven physique, it also adds poison resistance, darkvision, and elemental rune guards. A small magic weapon core and rune array are carved on the outside of the belt. Usually, it can provide Sigal with the same level of armor protection as chain armor, and when the spell is chanted, the loyal earth will be summoned immediately. Elemental Guard.

Siegel accepted the belt with great satisfaction, and he also had an intuitive understanding of the technical level of the rune masters in the dwarf kingdom. Being able to proudly claim the "Most Powerful Kingdom" in the vast land of the New World is based on leading power in every respect. He was even more determined to come to Mora's Peak: to establish a closer relationship with the dwarves.

The elemental rune guard was a very good start. The westward dwarves finally agreed to live in Heim Land, which made the three families breathe a sigh of relief. During Siegel's stay on the top of Mora, he found a stable source of weapons and armor for his territory, found a channel for magic materials for his experiments, and negotiated the construction of a patrol tower in the north of Heim territory. matter. The "Shield River Ale" in Heimland also has a stable market, and dwarves will also order gold utensils from the Striped Mountain Gold Mine and its affiliated workshops, most of which are the basic parts used to cast runes. If Heimland has more goods, then Mora's Top will give priority to cooperation.

Both parties were satisfied with the result, and the feast that followed made Siegel a rare drunk. With summer approaching, Siegel finally bids Erint his farewell, worried about the situation in the territory.

But this time the dwarf was not sad, because he knew his friend was heading for a better future. He smiled and hugged Siegel, and took out his family's collection of swords.

"You should wear a decent weapon. The Dawn Knight's long sword is for horseback. It's long and soft, not designed for the lord to carry on a daily basis." He took out a bright steel sword with a hilt inlaid with it. jewelry. Brilliant. The light of the fire reflected on the body of the sword, reflecting a smooth and bright light. The whole sword was integrated without any scars.

But Erinte said: "This sword has a history of 7,000 years. It can be traced back to the time when human beings were still living in wild tribes." Erinte said: "The gods at that time were different from now, and were more savage. And straightforward. Except for the patron saints of several major races, other gods prefer devout and self-consecrated believers. Later, new gods, that is, more benevolent gods, overthrew the rule of the old gods, and human beings also rose. Gradually formed What the world looks like now. It was in that era of **** wars that our people forged this sword and called it Stardust."

The dwarf Erint dropped the sword and threw it to the ground, only to hear a soft sound, not much louder than the sound of tearing off the mosquito net, and the long sword had buried half of its body under the slate. Under Siegel's surprised gaze, the dwarf strode over, grabbed the blade with both hands, and pulled out the long sword. Siegel exclaimed. Quickly take out the healing potion. But Erinte opened his palm, and the sword that could cut through the stone left him without the slightest scar.

"This sword can be changed to your heart's content, so any swordsman will feel comfortable. Its sharp point can easily penetrate all kinds of armor protection, only mithril and adamantium can stop it. But in the manufacture of At that time, the shape of the blade was too fast, and it was too late to open the blade, so apart from the tip, it was actually a blunt sword." The dwarf said: "This sword is indestructible and will not be contaminated with any foreign objects. It took a lot of maintenance. Once we knew this, we found that the sword could never be worked again. It couldn't be sharpened, it couldn't be refurbished, it couldn't even engrave a dwarven rune, so it wouldn't give you fire, lightning, or ice. The power of the sword does not shine like other magic swords. We believe that the strength of this sword lies in the use of unknown materials. Even the most learned dwarves cannot guess the composition, let alone make a second one."

"I'm interested in such strange things." Siegel took the long sword and swung it in front of him. With his movements, the long sword gradually changed its center of gravity, and switched to the most comfortable state for Siegel. The whining sound of the blade piercing the air also gradually diminished until it was silent.

Siegel returned the sword to the sheath. Place the original saber on the other waist. "Now I can only take good things from you, but I will surprise you eventually."

"Haha, being able to see you grow is also one of the happiest things for me." Erinte waved and said goodbye to Siegel, who had returned home full of rewards.

But the good mood along the way all vanished when he heard that Janet was attacked, and even Feizac, who had no magic affinity, could feel the energy fluctuations emanating from Siegel's whole body. He felt dizzy and dizzy, like the feeling of an earthquake - the right of the rift valley in the south was shaken again, and Feizak's heart almost suffered from it.

Siegel stood in the castle hall on the first floor that had just been repaired, his face extremely gloomy. "Show me the dagger," he said.

Janet took the dagger out of the box and handed it to Siegel. After more than ten days of precipitation, the poison originally smeared on the dagger had expired, exuding an indescribable odor. The material for making daggers is just ordinary steel, which is not difficult to find in blacksmiths in big cities. However, three blood slots were viciously opened on the dagger, which could expand the wound and store poison.

Siegel nodded and pondered: "Fezak, close the door."

The one who ran to close the door was the follower Moore, and the smart boy shut himself out by the way.

"Did the assassin say a greeting from Uther?" he asked. "You heard that right?"

"Yes, that's right." Janet thought that she was trying to control her body at the time, and the dizziness caused by the strangled neck was difficult to overcome, but she still heard this sentence in the dimness. "Could it be because of the Freedom Knights?"

"That was a fight against bandits!" Siegel stood up suddenly and threw the dagger on the ground. "A man who was supposed to be a knight who learned swordsmanship and riding became a robber and a kidnapper. It is already the way to die. It is too cheap for him to fall off a horse! I should behead them, or hang them from a tree, Like a pirate!"

He looked at Janet and said to her: "You persuaded me to save her life in exchange for ransom, to treat them like nobles, but the result was an assassination. I really think Lord Faranis is right. The lords of the south are all some mean little people."

"Siegel, calm down, there may be a conspiracy here." Janet advised: "We can't conclude that it is the Uther family's ghost based on the assassin's words. It may also be framed."

Feizak also nodded. Agree. "Although the biggest suspect is them now, it is not completely certain. Everything we have now can only be guesses, and there is no evidence. After all, Lord Uther is a relatively strong branch of the southern lords, and he and his allies can The mobilization is far beyond us. We have to tread carefully."

Siegel immediately asked, "How long until the castle is built?"

"It needs to be harvested in the autumn." Feizak replied: "This is already very fast. Without the help of dwarves, a castle of this size will not take shape until at least next year."

"I understand. It takes three seasons to build a castle, and I can't ask for more at this speed." Siegel said: "I need to build the castle's defense as soon as possible, and Heim Leader needs to have enough for the enemies inside and outside. I need knights, mercenaries and my own eyeliner, and I can no longer let assassins sneak into the camp."

"I'll do it right away," Faizak replied.

Siegel looked at his gray hair and tired one eye, and knew he couldn't keep burdening him. "Father Faizac, the most important thing for you now is to find a general manager for me, and then hand over the internal affairs of the territory so that you can concentrate on intelligence analysis."

"Okay." One-Eyed Dad's shoulders shook, but he nodded in response.

"Heimland is our home, not as simple as a stone castle." Siegel put his arms around Feizak's shoulder. He said to him: "We have been killed from an orc city like Macabuda, and we have experienced the test of ice, snow and fire. Apart from conspiracy and tricks, what threat can those nobles basking in the sun have? Before the castle is built , I will perform more of the duties of the lord, and let the mages who like to study spells rest for a while. When the castle is built and Heim has the armor, it will be the time for us to strike hard."

"Understood, my lord," Feizak said. "I'll tell the guards to be careful and hold back for now."

"No, forbearance will make us look weak and cause more trouble," Siegel said. "Hire someone with a bounty. Check the assassin's employer, at least know that this three-barrel dagger belongs to Who is it? Then offer a reward of 1,000 gold coins to the main messenger, and 500 gold coins to those who can provide accurate information and evidence. Before I cut off the hand holding the sword, I want the whole sword to know to tremble!"

Feizak nodded, he had already started to do this. But the reward is not as high as it is now. After Siegel increases the bounty, it will make the mercenary market in the entire South boil.

After that, the one-eyed dad left time for the men and women who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"We should get married soon," Siegel said suddenly.

This sentence made Janet blushed all of a sudden, she forgot what to say for a while, and could only stare at Siegel blankly. Suddenly, she felt that her behavior was too bold, and she lowered her head quickly, using the talent of demons to control the changes on her face, restraining the trembling of her voice, and then said, "Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

"The hall of the castle has been built, and the bedrooms on the second floor will be completed in a few weeks. Others such as the kitchen, study and arrow tower are not urgently needed, so the castle is already habitable." Siegel said: "I promised You knights, lords, castles, and weddings are the last thing to do. I have no relatives, and I don't have many friends in the New World, but I can always organize a wedding. Do you have anyone you need to invite?"

Janet shook her head, then shook her head more forcefully: "I don't know, I can't react a little when you say this suddenly. You let me calm down and think about it."

She was about to turn to leave when Siegel grabbed her hand and placed a small box in her palm. "This is the ring I used to propose. I'm sorry I didn't make it myself. The dwarf runemaster Taklin helped me build the foundation of the magic ring, and I just wrote most of the runes." Siegel opened the box and said Saw a ring of gold and alchemical silver lying quietly on the velvet upholstery inside. Alchemy silver inscribes thin, dense runes that spiral around the ring. A black diamond on the ring setting exudes a mysterious halo. If you look closely, you can see a squid with nine tentacles floating in the core of the gemstone, shaking slowly.

"My current spell level isn't enough to make a magic ring, so I've only been playing around with the making of this ring." Siegel picked up the ring and placed it in front of Janet: "It protects you from most elements. Injury, such as ordinary fire or frozen river water. If you wear it for a long time, the ring adapts to your body and can also allow you to survive in extreme environments, providing you with the power of magic to provide you with food, nutrition, running water Moisture and even air supply. I don't want any trouble with you, Janet, so that you can always be by my side."

Janet stared blankly at the ring, thinking that it was the most beautiful jewelry in the world, and all the gems in the entire Star Kingdom would not be half as beautiful. As if being hypnotized, she nodded vigorously, asked Siegel to put her ring on her, and left the castle hall in a daze.

Siegel stood alone in the center of the hall, watching the kitten leave. Then his eyes fell on the dagger lying in the corner again. He took a deep breath, imagining the panicked Janet and the vicious assassin at the attack. "I won't put you in danger any more," Siegel said to himself, "They think they can hurt me by hurting you, so they send an assassin. Compared to assassinating a mage, a little girl who no one pays attention to is better. It’s easy to start, and it’s more economical. But nobles are greedy, and greed means their movement patterns are predictable. As long as the wedding is done, all assassinations will come to me, and you’ll be safe.”

"A widow with a large territory and a rich gold mine is the target that all the nobles will rush to court. They will be eager for me to die early, and then they will be courteous to you." Siegel calculated in his heart and thought through the whole thing. "In the face of my young and groundless lord, they were all full of confidence that they would never fail, but only a little frustrated. As long as they retained this confidence, the legal rights that marriage brought would be It's your biggest umbrella."

Siegel's eyes flickered as he sat in the middle of the empty hall. Cold and hard stone walls protect him as he protects the entire territory. A mage is not afraid of any challenge, but he prepares for battle wisely. The lords in the south probably rarely deal with mages, and do not know what the consequences of provoking a mages are. Siegel unfolded the spellbook, letting the magical words reverberate in his mind, his mind full of bizarre thoughts. (To be continued.)
