Twenty Sided Dice

Sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the velvet curtains, and the air mixed with the scent of flowers and plants also drifted in, competing with incense and ink for the dominance of the sense of smell. There was a knock on the door, three long and three short. Then came the sigh, the sound of the tray on the ground, and the footsteps of a person leaving.

Siegel woke up slowly, only to feel a sore back. He stayed up too late to study spells, and fell asleep on the table again. Stand up and stretch well. The black tea on the table had long since cooled, but Siegel didn't mind and took it and drank it.

This is a three-story building in the northern area of ​​Waterdeep City, with its own garden and stables. It is right next to the "Three Peaks Pagoda" of the Mages Association. It is a quiet place where few people come. The original owner of this place was a businessman surnamed Dip, who was later taken away by the wildlings north of Waterdeep City, and died of a heart attack after going bankrupt. His widow wanted to sell the house and pay off the debt so the children could continue their education. Siegel came at just the right time and bought the place with the help of Marcus Gollon (owner of the Foam Barrel Tavern). After hearing the story here, he retained the poor widow to continue living here because he wanted to learn spells himself, so he originally needed someone who could be in charge of eating and cleaning. Mrs. Linda-Dip was very grateful, and promised to do her duty, and moved into the servant's room and stayed.

The Mages Association of Waterdeep has always been an open and inclusive organization, and he provides assistance to all Mages who come to the New World. Here is the most important teleportation formation in the new continent, which can be connected to the supreme library of the old continent in an instant, which is the core of the Mage Association. Therefore, when necessary, the Federation can obtain the strong support of the Master Association, and no other forces dare to do anything here.

It is precisely because of this confidence that the Mages Association has opened a "study salon" to open up a channel for beginners who are interested in mastering magic. The price of learning is expensive, and it is a very loose form of self-study. It is just that some mages or Ph.D.s are regularly organized to give lectures every week to teach apprentices to get started as soon as possible. Salon events are often held here, allowing apprentices and new mages to exchange experiences and promote magic learning.

Siegel had ample financial resources, so it was easy to sign up and obtain books and lab materials related to the course. The beginning of the study was very difficult, after all, Siegel had never been exposed to formal education, so he needed too much tutoring. Accurate pronunciation and correct writing, preliminary calculation skills and classification methods, a large number of material properties and illustrations of animals and plants. For those nobles with good families, this is knowledge that they can master slowly as they grow up, but Siegel needs to learn quickly in a relatively short period of time.

So aside from an hour of intense physical activity a day, Siegel spends the rest of his time studying. With the tenacity he developed at sea, it took him two months to make up the foundation. He could understand the elementary course and quickly learned the dragon language, the language that humans use to recite magical incantations.

A week ago, in an important course, the official wizard of the Federation taught the spell "Spell Interpretation". Its function is to describe the magic recorded on paper and form a spell model in the mind. All mages must learn this spell, which is the basis for learning and transforming magic.

Siegel mastered this magic for a long time, and then continued to practice, using "spell interpretation" to learn magic teaching materials, and was busy until late at night, and finally fully mastered this magic and became an apprentice mage. This means that he can slowly learn spells by reading other people's magic books, which is already a simple entry.

For this, he was excited for a long time. He has two spellbooks of primary spells in his hand, belongings to the sorcerers in the Common Society of Knox. He also found a detailed explanation of spells in the Rubik's Cube, but he still can't understand the above spells, so he can only let it continue to sleep in the key space.

Through two elementary spell books, Siegel has been practicing basic magic. He has amazing comprehension and learning ability, and he has also cast spells by mistake, so he is ready physically and mentally. Without anyone knowing, Siegel was able to cast multiple basic spells in less than four months from the time he came to Waterdeep to get in touch with spells. This speed is unprecedented.

Siegel didn't care about his record breaking, and was still immersed in magic learning. He and Linda had an agreement in advance that breakfast would be delivered every day, but if the door was not opened, he only had to put the tray outside the door, and he could not push the door in.

Breakfast is oatmeal, boiled eggs, ham and oranges, typical Waterdeep food, simple and rustic. Siegel finished the food in a few bites, then came downstairs with his plate. The cooks are busy washing vegetables and marinating lamb—it's the first day of autumn, and it's all about celebrating.

Ms. Linda-Dip is a human woman in her thirties, with a dignified appearance and elegant manners. After her husband died, she lived only for her seven-year-old son Carl. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Carl is studying arithmetic and writing in the Moon Temple, hoping to find opportunities to enter the temple for further studies and become a respected pastor. Even the temple has limited learning opportunities, and only the best can join the temple, so Carl works very hard and rarely goes home. Every time Siegel saw their mother and son, he couldn't help but think of his time as an ordinary sailor. There are few opportunities to learn, and the bloodline is not noble. It is basically impossible to get ahead. Class, like knowledge, is a privilege, and it is difficult to overcome. If he hadn't followed Sir Bill out on an adventure, and then met Leah, Erinte, and Dio, he wouldn't have the possibility to sit here and learn magic now. Although Carl didn't say it, Siegel could see the envious look in his eyes. And Ms. Linda, who always called him "Master", but Siegel never thought he was a nobleman, just a lucky ordinary person.

"Ms. Linda, prepare more food for the evening, and keep a copy for Carl. If possible, please buy some fresh fish." Siegel said: "I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back for dinner at noon. ."

"No problem, young master."

Today is Wednesday, and Siegel is going to the Foam Barrel today to check the news. Erint would correspond with him regularly, and if there was news from Sir Bill he promised to pass it on. But for months, the Jazz seemed to be completely missing, with no news at all. The Prince of the Starry Kingdom is also missing: it is said that the prince is near the hub castle in Waterdeep City, Viscount Kira-Stat thinks that the prince has gone to the new forest, the elf territory, and Leah, who is in the new forest, denies the news. The news from Mora's Peak said that the prince went to the north, and even crossed the northern defense line of Waterdeep and entered the control area of ​​​​the wildlings.
