Twenty Sided Dice

"I imagined what kind of life a dragon like you would lead." Siegel put down the cake, turned his head and said in the direction of the dripping water: "Don't hide, I know you are invisible."

Modesti revealed her figure, her huge silver-gray body lying on the treasure pile. Its wings folded, its tail coiled behind it, its deflated belly pressed against the priceless bed. Two different-colored pupils were staring at the basket beside Siegel, saliva constantly overflowed from the neatly sharp teeth, and fell on the gold and silver with the sound of ticking. Even saliva has a very high temperature, although this temperature is not enough to melt gold and silver, but it can make them glow brightly.

Siegel was quite sure that he had stood where the dragon was lying down just now, but he didn't touch the huge size. When he commanded the river of gems with his wand, he also consciously swept the entire lair to check for invisible objects, but found nothing. What kind of spell did Modesti use to evade Siegel's detection? The mage was very curious.

"Want something to eat? I think you must be hungry."

"I'd love to eat what's in your basket. It smells good." The dragon craned its neck and slid off the top of the treasure pile, but took on a human form before hitting the ground. Modesty's skin looked very pale under the light of the eternal flame, like a woman recovering from a serious illness. She walked barefoot to the basket, squatted down, and stared at the cake in the basket. Although anyone could see her desire, the dragon girl did not reach out.

Siegel fully understood what she was doing and knew that his guess was not wrong. Modesty is a dragon who wants to overcome his physical urges and use his magical powers to the limit. He watched silently, and suddenly felt that his approach was a little cruel. This dragon may not make sense of the world. But what is the practice of seducing her with food? It's like bullying a child with wisdom - even though the child could easily burn down castles and wipe out armies.

The mage lowered his head and said softly to Modesti, "I'm sorry."

The dragon girl remained in a squatting position, but tilted her head and looked at Siegel: "Why do you say sorry, is it because you did something wrong?"

"Yes," Siegel admitted. "I want to trap you with food."

"Really?" Modesty didn't seem surprised, she said, "You were the first to tempt me with cake. And you were the first to admit it in front of me."

"Has anyone else been there?" Siegel asked curiously.

"Of course, isn't it every human's dream to kill dragons and steal treasures?" Modesti said, "But don't blame them, after all, most dragon treasures are obtained in the same way."

It's an inextricable cycle, Siegel thought. "Can you tell me why you stopped eating?"

"Oh, I need a strong enough magic power to leave this world." Modesty doesn't seem to have any sense of confidentiality about this issue. After thinking about it, he said, "I want to find my father."

"An ancient platinum dragon?" Siegel asked.

"No, it's a black dragon." Modesty's answer was beyond the Mage's expectations, "My father lives on a flying castle and travels back and forth between different worlds. But I don't know why he left me in this world. Although he gave me a lot of good things and let the dragons of this world take care of me. But I still miss him very much."

"I know that there are several people in the Mage Association who can open channels to other worlds, why don't you go to them?"

"I tried it." Modesty said, "They couldn't do it without saying it, and they wanted to capture me with an oath. The most annoying thing was that they refused to admit it, so I burned them to death."

Luckily I admit it, Siegel thought happily, sweating. It seems that dealing with this dragon must be very candid, otherwise being burned to ashes by flames is the only end.

"So you're going to be hungry all the time?" Siegel asked. "Survival entirely by absorbing elemental energy?"

"Yeah." Modesti stood up, clenching her fists and said, "This is the only way I can think of. I asked the holy dragon Longklagar a long time ago. He is the strongest dragon in this world, but According to his magic ability, it can't reach the strength of breaking through my father's world. According to him, it is only a thin line. So I want to become more solid in magic. Every scale and every tooth must be filled with the purest The elemental power of . So the food you brought me is tempting, but I can't eat it now." After the dragon girl finished speaking, she glanced reluctantly, swallowed her saliva, and asked, "This thing is called what?"

"Honey cake," Siegel replied.

Modesti nodded solemnly and said, "I remember it. I will ask my father to find it for me to eat later."

Siegel was so sad that he just wanted to pull his hair. He began to understand why the giant dragons would use Modesti's Saint Ser Peak to perfunctory the holy dragon's explanation. Because this is indeed the most difficult dangerous place to deal with for Siegel. Not only are mages studying dragons, but dragons must be studying mages as well. There are two kinds of beings in the world that can completely restrain a mage: the power stronger than the mage and the mage's own conscience.

Evil mages will fail under the power of the platinum dragon. I believe that the dragons, which are all condensed with elemental energy, will be extremely powerful in restraining magic. And the compassion of a good wizard will make the dragon invincible. The only thought in Siegel's mind now was to help her, to help this poor dragon girl who was also an orphan.

Although his reason clearly told him. The word "poor" can be dropped. Even if she doesn't eat or drink, she is a mighty dragon.

The mage suddenly had an idea, so he said: "The only food you need is various elements, right? Can you choose a specific type?"

Modesti nodded: "If you can absorb the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire in a balanced manner, that is the most ideal situation, but you can't usually ask for that."

"I have something here, maybe it can help you." Siegel opened the space bag and took out the magic weapon core of the Rune Elemental Guard. As soon as it leaves the enclosed space, it begins to absorb the surrounding earth element energy on its own. He handed the item to Modesty and placed it in her pale palm.

"Look, this magic item attracts elemental energies. Maybe it can help you."

The dragon girl carefully felt the energy coming from the palm of her hand, and then stuck out her tongue and licked the rune magic stick, swallowing all the power of the earth element attached to the surface. Then she took a deep breath, her eyes seemed to light up suddenly, and she looked at Siegel brightly: "What a pure earth element. Much better than what I usually absorb. This is your gift to me. ?"

"That's right." Siegel said with a smile, "I would be very happy if I could help you."

"Then I'll take it." Modesty replied, "But that doesn't mean you can take anything from me."

Siegel shook his head and replied: "If these treasures were left to you by your father, I would never take any of them. But can I borrow these two spell books?"

"Just don't break it, I'll treat you as a trustworthy friend." Modesti licked the rune magic stick again, and seemed to like it's ability to continuously attract the earth element.

"Uh..." Siegel said after thinking for a while: "If I can make you a rune artifact of the four elements, can you do me a favor?"

The dragon girl tilted her head and thought for a while. Then he said, "I need to build up energy, so I won't be doing too tiring things."

Siegel smiled, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm measured."

Janet had been waiting for Siegel at the foot of Mount Santre, and was relieved to see him come back. The mage still carried the basket in his hand. Fly to Janet's side, and then take out the honey cake to share with her. There were happy signals from Siegel's eyes, as if something great had been accomplished.

"It's all settled?" Janet asked. "Will Modesti help us?"

"She will," Siegel said. "I understand one thing. The real power lies in mutual assistance, which is more powerful than cheating and grabbing."

"What exactly?" Janet said. "Will she help you guard Myr?"

"Better than that," Janet replied. "We could be friends with her."

Although he is a mage lord, Siegel is not qualified to be a lord. He grew up in the sea and does not know much about the land. Therefore, cultivation, farming, harvesting, and brewing are not his areas of expertise. But he is indeed a very savvy mage, and has shown extraordinary talent in spell learning. And as the only person on the road to master both rune and mage spells, Siegel has more means and tools than any other spellcaster. After returning to Myr City. He began to focus again on transforming his elemental rune guards. As the dwarf rune master said, if the other three elements form the corresponding rune guards, the impact on this world will be immeasurable.

This matter needs to be kept secret, even to dwarf allies. In order to prevent being discovered by prophetic spells, Siegel did not create a finished product, but modified the spell. The new artifact runes can indeed absorb the corresponding elements. But it cannot condense into an elemental body. This is like a pool that is filled with water and leaking at the same time, constantly consuming the durability of the runes. Always do nothing.

But for Modesti ~www.novelmt.com~ this kind of thing is very useful. After more than a month of work. Siegel finally made four runic implements, and had an idea to design them to look like lollipops. In order to adapt to the high temperature and hard dragon teeth in the dragon's mouth, he added an enchantment that protects against fire and piercing damage. When he came to the dragon cave again, he took these four gifts in his hand.

Modesty looked very happy, holding four "lollipops" in her hands and "licking" two bites from time to time. Siegel took the opportunity to express his request, hoping that the dragon would visit the city of Myr at the right time and show his strength, so that those with bad intentions could dispel their bad thoughts.

"This is no problem, it won't consume much physical strength." Modesti said: "The elemental bar you brought me is very good, and the speed of my energy absorption has increased a lot. Can you do more for me? "

"It's a pity that rune cores of the same kind interfere with each other," Siegel said. "It would be fine if they were placed far apart. But you have to keep flying around, and I'm afraid there will be trouble. I can only say that as a mage, I can continue to improve this spell in the future and help you in this way."

Modesty blinked, finally showing a smile, and said, "That's it!" (To be continued)
