Twenty Sided Dice

Completed with the castle foundation, there is the spell: "Elemental Rune Guard", which is its final name. In order to protect Siegel, the dwarves and the gnomes hid his contributions and then took over two jobs: the dwarves got the exclusive rights to make their core artifacts, and the gnomes had a monopoly The sale and subsequent care of this item. Those are two long-term gains, and Siegel gets half of any part of it.

This spell is not perfect, and has many shortcomings: when more than four elemental guards are gathered together, they will interfere with each other, causing extreme sluggishness, not much different from a paralyzed patient. These guards are also unable to put on armor and take up weapons, because the metal draped over the body would affect the efficiency of their core, causing it to shrink in size and power. And if the guards are stationary, there is basically no loss, but after a fierce battle, they need to be replenished with the same metal as the core of the magic weapon every year, which is another expense.

There are actually only two types of people who can use the elemental runeguard: the mage and the runemaster. But this last point turned out to be the best advantage: they happened to be two of the wealthiest people on the Old and New Worlds.

It is not difficult to disassemble this technology, but it is not so easy to imitate or continue research on this basis. You must be both a Dwarf Rune Mage and a Mage in order to test the updated version of this spell, otherwise all research is just guesswork, an unverifiable castle in the air. Siegel and Dingbao worked together to develop the "Illusionary Deception Version Elemental Runeguard" for dwarves to use independently, as a gift to work more closely with Mora's Pinnacle. Erint believes that this will make the three dwarf families and Siegel form a very good relationship, and will also make the Dwarf Temple and the Rune Master Guild a good impression of Heimland.

"Without your help, it would be difficult for us to continue from this spell." Taklin said very sincerely: "If one day you solve the problems of other major elemental guards. Don't forget our Mora Peak. ."

Siegel gave them a warm embrace and agreed. But the dwarf rune master whispered in his ear and reminded him: "The earth element guard is fine. If it is another element guard, it will make you the target of public criticism. You must be careful!"

Siegel looked at Taklin in surprise. In fact, he was expressing his concerns. Just like Siegel digs mines with the earth element. The formed earth elemental guards can easily push down stone walls, and the strong castles - as long as they are not reinforced by magic or runes - are like sand statues on the beach, just toys that can be easily destroyed by surging waves. Maybe the lords didn't think of this layer at first, and just regarded them as strong bodyguards. But one day, they will understand that the water elemental **** can block the route between the old and new continents, and no ship can face such an enemy; they will understand that the fire elemental **** is the most terrible enemy. Flesh, wood and cloth are only potential fuel; as for the air elemental guards, both speed and mobility make them far beyond the original most dangerous assassins - there is no longer a place to sleep in the castle, no more on the battlefield. There is no front line and back line.

If it was known that Siegel might have such an army, they would do everything in their power to kill Heimland out of fear. Destroy this mage lord. Therefore, although this spell is called "Siegel's Rune Elemental Guard", it does not reflect Siegel's name in the dwarf version, which is the greatest protection for him.

"If you research it, don't tell anyone," Tucklin said. "Unless you are sure of defeating all enemies."

"Including Mora's Peak?" Siegel asked back with a frown.

"No, the top of Mora will never be your enemy." Taklin replied with a smile: "The world is very big, and the city wall mountains are just a small corner."

"What does it mean?"

"You're a mage, aren't you?" Tucklin patted Siegel on the shoulder. "Not like us. Just a miner in a cave. Neither sky nor ocean is your limit, if you want, right."

Erinte came over. He laughed and said, "What are you whispering about? Let me hear it?"

"I'm wishing him to go from victory to victory." Taklin changed the subject and said: "Today is the day when the official foundation stone of our city of Myr was laid. This is an important moment, don't let us delay this place. Master's time."

Siegel was pushed by the dwarves to the foundations of the castle, where a silver-grey stone pillar stood. Dwarves will apply the power of runes to their important buildings, and an important step is to open the first rune column. In the chain of fortresses in the Walled Mountains. Only a few very important castles have this treatment, and Myr is the only place on the plains of the New World that has this honor.

And one of the more special. This is the first time a Rune Pillar has been opened by a human. Even in the long history of dwarves, this was an extremely rare treat. However, after the development and cooperation of "Rune Elemental Guard". The rune masters believed that Siegel had this qualification and the corresponding ability, and they were just being lazy.

Only dwarves were allowed to attend the ceremony, and even Janet was not allowed to come. Siegel talked to everyone in dwarven language throughout the whole process, and expressed his longing and gratitude to the patron saint of dwarves. Afterwards, he triggered the power of the rune column, and used the rune words of "the earth is strong" as the core of the castle's spell.

Erinte finished a eulogy, and the ceremony was over. The dwarves gave each other high fives, and then began to build the main structure of the castle, and recorded the structural description of all the runes on the rune pillars. Siegel is free, and he still has a lot to deal with.

"Lord Lord, three companies have already sent ransom money, or goods equivalent to the ransom money. Is it possible to start releasing people?" Feizak asked.

"Of course, we have to keep our word." Siegel replied: "You have to make sure that the pensions of the dead caravan guards are delivered in full and in time, and then the payment to Ding Bao. The rest of the money is not only paid out Apart from rewarding the soldiers, the rest are put into the warehouse."

"Don't worry about these."

"By the way, is there any news about the Uther family?" Siegel asked. "Their child died by our hands after all."

"I haven't heard of it yet." Feizak frowned. He also knew that something was not normal. A nobleman should not be unresponsive. Moreover, Siegel has written this matter to Viscount Uther as a lord, with sincere words, asking for forgiveness from the other party.

"Should I listen to Janet's advice and use lies to ease the situation between the two sides?" Siegel thought for a while, then shook his head: "But I can't accept now that a robber is fighting a bandit and fighting heroically. Dead knight. Bravery or not. At least Manna is not a bandit."

"You are an upright person." Feizak said: "It is for this reason that I follow you. But there is some truth in what the lord's wife said, and it is all for you, so it is not a mistake."

"I know she's right, and it's for my own good. But I..." Siegel scratched his hair: "Forget it, don't talk about it."

"There are a few more good news that will definitely make you happy." Feizak smiled. It's a pity that his yellow teeth ruined the overall feeling. "With the help of the dwarves, our mill was established, and from now on a new source of tax revenue. By convention, one-tenth of what is processed from the mill is turned over to the lord, which will greatly improve the castle food reserves.”

"Is this the norm on land?"

"Yes. And one-tenth is already the lowest standard among all lords." Faizak continued: "The two blacksmiths brought from Waterdeep have been merged, which can provide armor and weapons for the guards, and can also Repairing the people's iron pots and farm implements is also a long-term income."

"In terms of income, I value gold mines more. So try to use it as a benefit without affecting the blacksmith." Siegel said: "I am a mage, I don't have to build steel armor, at least I can save a lot of money. Good iron, isn't it?"

"Of course. There's one more thing that's sure to make you happy. Helmland finally has a decent tavern. Using dwarven utensils and local oats, an ale has finally been brewed, and it's a good hazel. At least Mr. Erint After tasting it, I complimented it again and again.”

Siegel could imagine how happy the dwarves would finally be after more than a month. He prefers ale to wine after all. The lord and the one-eyed old man walked side by side, slowly passing through the construction site, walking on the busy construction site of Myr City. It is always full of vitality here, even in the dark, it is still full of laboring figures. Janet had just agreed with Ding Bao on the style of the cloth and rug, and she followed after seeing Siegel. Take his hand and move forward together. After an initial hustle and an easy victory, the local residents have developed a sense of trust in Lord Siegel. Orcs have also begun to integrate into local life, and everything is developing for the better.

After the construction of the facilities at the gold mine is completed. Siegel took the dwarven miners to another part of the Walled Mountains. According to the records of Mora's Peak, there is an iron ore of average quality here, which is not very attractive to dwarves~www.novelmt.com~ But Siegel doesn't think so, he doesn't have an iron ore yet. Although he didn't want to build a large-scale army so quickly, he didn't have high requirements for armor and weapons, but he was finally prepared, didn't he? After the dwarf Erinte knew about this, he jumped up his feet in anger and stood in front of Siegel with his waist pinched: "Are you trying to dig out all the things in the City Wall Mountains?"

Siegel spread his hands and said innocently: "You asked me to go to the library to check the information. The location of these mines was not kept secret from me."

"You can't stop you if you dig me, but remember one thing, you can't hand these things over to other humans!" Erinte dragged her beard with a worried look in her eyes: "You didn't do this? Precedents, I don't know how the three top-level families will think. You also know that Mora's Peak regards the entire city wall and mountains as its own territory, but it never says so to the outside world. Fortunately, you are a climber, otherwise this It's really hard to do.”

"The big deal is that I'll climb the road to the top again." Siegel joked.

But this sentence did not know which nerve of the dwarf touched, and he seemed to be stunned in place. It took a while for him to return to normal, his eyes narrowed into two thin lines, his beard twitching, and he laughed and said to Siegel, "What you said makes a lot of sense, you really should climb to the top again. The road!" (To be continued)
