Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 244: Road to the South

"I have to go this time," Siegel said to Janet. "I can't entrust mercenaries with spells. They don't know what to look for, much less how to get there."

Janet still wanted to persuade her, saying that her body was stable now, it had not been deformed for a long time, maybe it would heal slowly like this.

Siegel shook his head: "I can't take this risk, it's better to solve it early. Not only yours, but Isaac's."

He helped Janet sit on the chair in the study, the soft cushion felt itself, and immediately began to emit a comfortable heat outward.

It has changed a lot since Siegel came back. Hundreds of books of various kinds stand still on the dark red wooden bookcase, and Siegel spends a lot of time on them, each book is bookmarked, and the parchment summaries are scattered among the pages. . The more he grew up in adventure, the more Siegel found himself lacking in knowledge, and the more desperately he read.

All books have basically the same appearance, with black squid markings on the ocean blue covers. Siegel continued to use the art of writing, frantically copying a lot of material from the library to expand his library. Many of them are not spell books, but they are very helpful for Siegel to improve his knowledge, and it also lays an important foundation for learning spells.

Besides reading, he used every opportunity to practice spells, so everything in the study became the target of Siegel's experimental spells. Cushions that dissipate heat, chairs that adjust height, fireplaces that can be lit with just a clap, dusters that clean themselves. Siegel used a small rune magic circle in the study, and then used the energy-focusing lens spell to emit the absorbed elemental power to provide energy to these small runes.

Only Janet can come in here, and Modesty could have been, but Siegel found that she was always trying to take things from the study and move them back to her "lair". This is the nature of dragons, and Siegel is not surprised, but many things are still being tested, and he does not want to reveal the secret of such spells for the time being. He proposed to help the dragon girl decorate the room, and Modesti shook her head vigorously. Very nervously refused.

Then she didn't come to the study to get anything.

Siegel's efforts are obvious, but even that fails to find a solution to Janet's problems here, and must continue. Taking her thoughts away from the objects around her, Janet saw Siegel standing by the fire. Toggle the fire with a long iron rod. His voice drifted slowly over, and he could hear the helplessness contained in it. "What happened to you is very tricky, and finding this spellbook is the only hope at the moment. Blood magic is not the result of a whim like the Rune Elemental Array, but has been in continuous development for hundreds of years. I There's no way to infer the solution out of thin air, and I can't bear the time consumption or difficulty. So I can only hope to find the spell book."

He put down the fire stick, sat on the sofa opposite Janet, leaned over to hold her hands and said, "I sent Mor a few days ago to go to Mora's Peak to find help. The temple of the dwarves. There are several high priests, who are said to be able to communicate with the gods, and may be able to cure you. But the adamantine gates of Mora's top are completely closed, except for a rune image that keeps repeating in Dwarven and Common languages ​​'The gates of the kingdom are closed, I will not accept you. Master Leia went to the Elf Forest. Her father was a great Druid, who communicated naturally. He also possessed the magic of healing. But more than a month has passed, and there is no news."

Siegel's skin started to heat up like a fever. Janet wanted to pull out her hand and touch Siegel's forehead, but was grabbed by the mage. "Don't worry, it's just the fluctuation of magic. Many times magic seems to be alive, gradually changing everything around you. I know this power, so I also understand the existence of the devil lurking in your body."

"Don't worry about me, I'm exhausted." Janet tried to squeeze out a smile, but her eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry. I'm measured." Siegel leaned back, sinking himself into the chair, and said to Janet in a trembling voice, "You know, in the end. I found that I was still on my own. I couldn't. Seeing you being controlled by the blood of the devil. Such a scene...you know, just yesterday, I successfully summoned a bone demon from purgatory."

Janet stood up abruptly, feeling her heart beating so fast that the blood vessels on her forehead bulged. Hold your chest with your hands and adjust your breathing according to the priest's method. Pray to the Mother Earth to calm down. "Do you know what a dangerous thing you did?"

Siegel put a finger on Janet's lips, "I'm under the protection of a lot of spells, and I won't be in any danger. I've seen bone demons, which are really evil and terrible monsters. The moment he saw me, he attacked, with no strategy, only insane hatred, and no communication at all. I watched it dash through the enchantment until it was over and sent back to purgatory. I can't let you be like that!"

Janet tried to persuade, but she knew that Siegel would be on the way forward no matter what. The mage moved forward step by step, and his speed was so fast that everything around him seemed to be pulling him backwards, and he was one of them.

Siegel saw the emotion in Kitten's eyes, sadness and remorse. "Janet, this is all just a test for me, like I've just set foot on a new continent and faced an unknown adventure. No one can always be smooth sailing, and this time we are not desperate, so you have to Be happier. Take care of Isaac and keep him fat and white, so I can rest assured when I'm outside."

Janet nodded, she still had children, so she had to keep going. "Who's on the road with you this time?"

"Moll will definitely take it with him. Others can't help too much. I also need to exercise him."

Janet thought about it, and there really wasn't much choice. Mana and Humke still have to guard the territory, Modesti is too lazy to get out of the room except to tease Isaac, Elf Leia disappeared, and Dwarf Locke lived in the passage.

"Would you like Rhett to follow you," Janet said. "He is strong and can heal wounds. Isn't he the best travel companion?"

"He needs to take care of your body to prevent the situation from getting worse," Siegel said. "I've thought about it, and it's enough for the two of us. Moore's martial arts are pretty good now, and he can become a knight with a little more practice."

"I really want to go with you, like in the northern wasteland." Janet smiled at the memory.

"Isaac needs mom, and I think he'll be calling you soon." Siegel's voice was just finished when a baby's cry came from the next room.

Going out on a journey again feels very different from before. Even without looking back, Siegel could picture the city of Myr gradually disappearing into the morning mist in his mind. He knew that he was very different from before, and this change had nothing to do with his magical powers, just because he was a man with a family.

The long, muddy road in front of you leads to the southeast, passing through Warnet, and then continuing to turn south. After a series of operations, the County of Vane is now under the protection of the Land of Heim, swearing allegiance and becoming a dependent territory. However, the Hugel family still blesses a great deal of autonomy, and the city of Vane, which has avoided the damage of the war, is as calm as ever.

A peaceful start is exactly what Siegel needs, and no one knows the exact time and direction of his departure except to tell Janet, Faizac and Manna. He and Moore are also light vehicles on the road, the clothes and cloaks on their bodies are the most ordinary styles, and the mounts under their crotch are just ordinary war horses. Although the Phantom Horse is easy to use, it is easy to reveal his identity as a mage. In the south, there are only a handful of mages, and he can easily be targeted by those who care.

In order not to be recognized, he also made a disguise, changing the color of the obvious black hair and black eyes, and using a dark brown whisker to make himself look older. Janet put on Siegel's makeup, creating a scar from his right eyebrow to the corner of his mouth, looking very hideous. "It looks mighty, maybe it will scare off a lot of thieves," Janet said with a smile.

Beneath the layers of camouflage, it is extremely sophisticated equipment. Siegel was wearing the mage's breastplate, the spoils of war from Felton, and the ring of the rainbow sphere on his hand. The stardust longsword and sharp edge gauntlet hang on one side of the waist, the obsidian dagger is hidden in the soft boots, and the space bag hangs on the dwarf belt, which contains a large number of scrolls. In addition, he also carries a defensive bracer specially designed for long-range weapons such as arrows. Once a day, the amulet on his chest can summon two large elements as guards at any time. Once the horn on his waist is blown, it can deafen hundreds of people around him. Mine's enemies, let them lose their balance and fall to the ground.

Maul's equipment is not bad. Under the cover of a normal chain mail, the leather armor made of red dragon skin can effectively defend against weapons and fire; the shield in his hand looks very old, but it can be used with a single order. Able to float to resist attacks; as long as the longbow is held in his hand, Moir can see far away, even in the dark ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ Moir's long sword looks ordinary, but it is actually a magnet Remodeled to activate the runes above using a cipher, this longsword can attract the enemy's metal weapons for a combat advantage.

As a squire, Maul also gets a space bag that holds supplies along the way. Their identities are mercenaries and they are working for Heimland. Since Mora's Top closed its gates, most of the major mercenary groups that originally relied on this dwarf kingdom to operate in the City Wall Mountains have now moved to Heim Land. Especially the first group of people, under the leadership of "orc warriors" and "beautiful generals", made many military exploits, many people became knights, and their social status has changed since then. Some people were allocated their own land and exempted three generations of agricultural taxes. In addition to serving the lord loyally every year, the rest of the time belongs to himself, which makes other mercenaries envious.

In addition, the city of Myr is stuck on the Ore Avenue. All the caravans in the south need to pass through here to go to the Cloak Avenue. The caravan needs to hire guards, which brings job opportunities for the mercenaries. Therefore, Myr City soon became a paradise for mercenaries. For this reason, Feizac and Hunk specially sent people to maintain order, which greatly increased the strength of Heimland. The two mercenaries brought out from Heim were on a mission to earn money. They were so ordinary that they would not arouse suspicion from others. (To be continued.)

PS: At the end of the month, everyone supports me a lot. It's been a long time since the reservation has been moved, so sad...
