Twenty Sided Dice

A letter from the elf was placed in front of Siegel by Alfred. ︾ Le ︾ Wen ︾ Xiao ︾ said | The envelope is as red as a maple leaf, decorated with golden vein-like fine lines, and sealed with a green holly leaf. The whole letter exudes a strong forest flavor.

"Where's the messenger?" Siegel tugged at the envelope, but found that the holly leaves were unusually tough. He took out the letter opener before taking out the letter inside.

"A elf ranger sent this letter, and he left afterwards, unable to hold it back." Alfred said: "The messenger was dressed in white and brown clothes, with a long bow and a short Sword, the mount is a long-horned deer, and walking on the snow does not slow down in the slightest."

Siegel nodded, focusing his attention on the content of the letter. The letter was written by the priest of the Moon Temple in the Elf Forest, and it recited some words of the Elf Saint. Through various means, the elves believe that they have found an important stronghold of the God of Murder, which may be the concentration of black-clothed assassins in the New World. However, this stronghold is located in the south of the New World, and it needs to pass through the land of the southern lords until it reaches the southernmost coast of the New World. Due to the influence of the elf war, in order to avoid stimulating the nerves of the southern human lords, the elves followed the advice of the saints and could not send troops, but could only ask Siegel to assist in the investigation.

Siegel handed the letter to Alfred and said, "I'll take care of this in person, you can arrange it."

"Can't it really be handed over to hired adventurers?" Alfred frowned and said to Siegel: "There are many people in the territory who are looking for jobs. Among them are teams with good reputation and ability. They I am very willing to accept the employment of the lord. As for the southern lords. Just send a messenger to solve the problem, or you can also let Mana..."

"I have to do this in person, I'm afraid I can't do it well for others." Siegel said: "Don't worry, I can use the teleportation array to come back at any time, and you can also be like the last time I went to the rhinoceros tribe, Report to me regularly every day.”

"The stronghold of the God of Murder must be full of danger. You must not go there by yourself." Alfred asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate, Lord?"

Evan was Siegel's first thought. He is the best swordsman in the city of Myr, and he has also played against assassins in black, so he has some experience. But he is "Your Majesty", and he is elusive every day. He doesn't know what he is busy with. Is it appropriate to call him?

Mana is loyal, but her ability is more focused on the army. She has never heard of any specialties in adventure, so it is better to put it in the overall situation of the general manager of Myr City. Modesty is the deterrent force in Myr City. Can't move lightly. And since he came back, in addition to bullying Isaac every day, the dragon girl just crawled somewhere to sleep. The large amount of elements in Myr's core made her so happy that she even wore a mysterious smile when she was drooling in sleep.

He has a few good young knights under his command. But most of them are loyal and mediocre. They are more of a fighting ability when on horseback than a walking adventure.

The Mage Union is full of talents, but unless you have experience dealing with assassins in black, it is easy to lose your life when you meet the enemy. If you want to find someone, the protection division is the best choice, but Siegel's scalp tingles when he thinks of Wendy, and his first reaction is to avoid it.

Alfred's idea seems like a good one. Siegel thought about it. Say to the housekeeper: "Find the best team, especially with the experience and ability to detect and disarm traps."

"I will do it well." The housekeeper nodded: "Do you need to be anonymous?"

"Yes. The letter is in your hands, just organize it."

Alfred turned to leave, and Siegel was lost in thought. Eliminating the possibility that the elf saint made a mistake or the elves set a trap, this is currently the only clue of the man in black in his hands. Since Janet lost her whereabouts, he tried every means to find it, but most of them were lost. Occasionally a plausible message or two, but ultimately found nothing more than more rumors and vague descriptions.

Dusk came, the shadows grew, and the winter nights were cold, and Janet was outside. Siegel sat alone at the table with a map of the Southern Territories in his mind. Before the start of the elf war, the dwarves closed the city wall mountain range. Apart from the underground passage in Heim Land, where else can you travel on both sides of the mountain range? The men in black not only attacked the Elf Forest, but also ambushed Siegel by the Lake of Tears. They must have their own methods.

Bypassing the mountains by sea is the easiest way to think of it. Unfortunately, neither the northern waterdeep city nor the southern lords are Siegel's hard-core sphere of influence. The mage laughed at himself. In fact, how can he have any **** sphere of influence? If it wasn't for the fact that the lord of the south had been tired from the continuous wars in the past two years, he would have begun to conspiracy against Heimland long ago.

He also didn't expect much of the information collected through the trade routes, because for the merchants, criminals such as robbers, bandits and assassins were closer to their lives, and they were never Lord Lords. Siegel has covered up the smugglers countless times, and even forged documents himself, helping the South to evade the inspection of the seaport tax officer, allowing them to escape the inspection of the port officials in Ximu Town, so it is not difficult to understand that his investigation was in trouble. reason.

This time he had to go.

He got up and left the study, the door closed under his spell and connected to the castle's magic enchantment. The mage closed his eyes, communicated with the protective barrier, and quickly found Evan.

Evan was wearing a training suit, a coat made of thick cowhide, and was fighting an old man in the training room. They took the blunt swords they used for training and wrapped iron chains around them, adding weight. Evan was sweating profusely, but the old man opposite him was calm.

Since Siegel decided to resume his swordsmanship training, he turned the castle room into a training room, which also served as a showroom for various weapons and armor. It is more private here, unlike the training ground in the courtyard, which will be surrounded by onlookers. Evan also took a set of keys here, but who is the old man across from him?

This is a serious old man, with a thin body, but an amazing strength hidden under his skin. He was about fifty years old. His white hair was as short as stubble, and his deep eyes were sunken next to his straight nose. He saw Siegel appear. He pursed his lips tightly, and placed the long sword on the ground with both hands, looking alert.

"Siegel? Just by looking at your robe, you know you're not here for training." Evan said, "Come on, let me introduce you to Viscount Palin Clark, the 'Old Hunter'."

Siegel heard Evan speak about this man. Just when he was talking about the Swordsman of the Star Kingdom. Palin Clark was Evan's father. That is, the last king served as a guard, and later because of an illness, he changed from a strong and heroic knight to a shriveled youth. It was a curse against the king, stopped by loyal guards - it's recorded history. Although he recovered later, his body shape never returned.

Due to his size, he looked like a shriveled rotten fruit when he stood in the king's guard, which affected the view, so Evan's father ordered him to guard the palace. During a hunt, Palin once again shielded the king from danger and killed a raging griffin with his own hands. Hence the title of "Old Hunter". But at that time he was less than thirty-five years old, so he could not be called old at all.

He didn't feel insulted at all and remained loyal to the royal family. Palin was not around when the king fell from a horse and was injured, so rumors say he is a lucky star who can save the king from disasters. When Evan and Aaron quarreled over the crown opposition. Palin disappeared, how could I see him again in Myr City?

It was an old man with a dead fish face, and that suspicious look made Siegel uncomfortable. If he has always been like this, it is no wonder that the king kicked him out of the bodyguard. The king is not a hedgehog, and he doesn't need the guards next to him to keep his spikes erect all day.

"Didn't you wear the face-changing headgear I gave you, how did you get recognized?" Siegel asked.

"Oh, Master Palin recognized my bonfire. Thinking I was a scavenger picking up things from dead bodies, he challenged me. We had a fight, and he recognized me." Evan said with a smile.

"Good to meet, Viscount Palin Clark." Siegel greeted him.

The old man just nodded and remained silent.

In any case, Siegel is the royal count of the Star Kingdom, and everyone is standing on the land of Siegelheim. Whether as a guest or a noble, it is very rude to behave like Palin.

Siegel snorted and said to Palin, "Does your bad upbringing and bad temper do anything but discredit the king?"

"You are a baron, and I am a viscount. There is no problem with the etiquette just now."

"I was already a count."

"That's the edict of false king Aaron, I don't admit it." The old man replied stubbornly.

"It turns out that the seal of the royal family of stars and the endorsement of the entire cabinet are false to you." Siegel showed no mercy: "The oath of allegiance you issued for the royal family can be changed according to your inner preferences, why don't you say old age When the king dies you don't have to serve his son?"

"Mages are always eloquent and scheming," Palin said. "Like verbal curses and summoning evil monsters."

"Stupid," Siegel said. He turned to Evan, Evan made a helpless gesture to him, and then pointed to his head, indicating that there was something wrong with Palin's mind.

"Why did you come to me?" Evan threw the blunt sword to Palin and took off his weight as he walked. Siegel walked side by side with him.

"I'm here to find the swordsman Evan." Siegel said: "I need someone to help me with personal matters. Maybe... I will definitely encounter danger, and it is not suitable for the king to travel."

"In other words, this time it's two adventurers instead of the lord and the king?" Evan's eyes widened, and he immediately applauded: "You came at the right time, I have always wanted such an opportunity."

"If you want to investigate the stronghold of the men in black, you must not go there with great fanfare." Siegel said: "I didn't intend to tell you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but after thinking about it, if you don't find you if you are in trouble, Are you still a brother?"

"Hahaha, I believe it!" Evan said, "When do you leave?"

"It is estimated that it will take three or four days. This matter should be arranged like a hired adventure mission." Siegel said: "Recover your physical condition, I have some..."

"You can't go, it's too dangerous!" Palin's voice was like a crow, shouting out of time: "You have a heavy responsibility, the kingdom is still waiting for you, the loyal nobles and people are still waiting for you!"

"Do you need me to throw him to another space?" Siegel pointed to Assign Lin and asked.

"Farewell, he will offend everyone in other dimensions, so there will be too many enemies in the Starry Kingdom - look at me."

Evan turned his head and said to Palin: "As the king, I order you to keep this matter a secret. You can stay in the castle, meditate or hone your martial arts, but you are not allowed to take a step, understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Pai Lin bowed and said. (To be continued.)
