Twenty Sided Dice

Feizak returned to the castle very late, and at this time everyone other than the soldiers on duty rested. He took a loaf of bread and two sausages from the kitchen, a can of goat's milk under his arm for a late-night snack. But in front of his room door, he was surprised to find Siegel waiting for him there.

"Lord Lord, I..." Before Feizak could finish speaking, Siegel put his index finger on his lips and motioned him to whisper.

"Janet doesn't know I'm up yet, let's be quiet."

He followed Faizak into the room and used magic to light up the firewood for the fireplace to warm the room. The goat's milk jug floated on its own to the flame, swirling and slowly heating. Siegel took out the elf biscuit and handed it to Feizak: "Try this, the dessert from the elf forest."

"Thank you." Feizak ate the biscuits in three or two bites. The fragrance of a fruit fills up in the belly, and the fatigue of long-term work is quickly relieved, and the pores of the whole body are comfortably stretched out. "That's really good stuff, my lord."

"Sit down," Siegel said. "Although this is your room, forgive me for being rude. Janet told me in the afternoon that the financial situation of the territory is not good. Tell me what you know so far. Information."

"Lord Lord, in fact, our income has been rising all the time, and the gold mine in Zebra Mountain is not showing any signs of drying up, but we are spending money too fast." Create an account book: "The elemental magic circle and the rune arrow tower have drained our treasury at once, and the construction of the castle and city wall has made it worse. Fortunately, you are very smart to mortgage the Zebra Mountain gold mine, otherwise we will even The bricks and stones for construction can't be assembled. Judging from the accounts, the gold coins can still be turned over in two months. But with the arrival of spring, the sowing work may become the overwhelm of our Heimland. The last straw. At that time, there is no way to borrow gold coins unless you have a tough attitude.”

"How about stopping one or two projects? Or slowing construction down?" Siegel asked.

"In fact, most of the money has been spent and turned into building materials and rune materials. It is being transported to the territory. At this time, the loss of termination is not only financial, but also reputation." Feizak sighed, He replied: "I don't know if I should say it or not, but I have a suspicion. Those dwarves who came to settle are probably hiding something about the Rune Arrow Tower, because the cost is too high."

"Show me the accounts," Siegel said.

Following Fizzak's fingers, Siegel found the column marked Rune Arrow Tower. Then his eyes opened as big as a plate: "244,800 gold coins?!" He took a breath, his whole body shook, and then said: "Is this building an anti-evil city wall or an anti-evil city wall? Demon Fortress?!"

"Sir, you also know that dwarves are basically self-contained, and others don't know the knowledge of this rune. Before you go, hand over the whole project to them." Feizak said: "If the dwarves really move in it We can't really fall out with them. The construction of the city walls, arrow towers and many places still needs them, and the Zebra Mountain Gold Mine is still under mortgage."

Siegel frowned, apparently taking advantage of his trust. "Don't worry about this, I'll find out." He would recall the scene when Erint taught him how to distribute the spoils, and then said to Feizach, "Although they are all dwarves, the dwarves who stay here are the They must obey the arrangements of my lord, they are two different things from Mora's Peak. And Erinte is a person who pays attention to honor and justice, which will not affect the mortgage of Zebra Mountain."

Feizak bit his lip and nodded, putting away the ledger. "Besides that. We should find a way to make money, the sooner the better. After all, spring will be ploughing in two months. The replacement and maintenance of cattle, seeds, and farm implements are all expenses, and we have to prepare food for the time of shortage— - It would be nice if there were at least 5,000 gold coins in circulation." He thought for a while, and finally said: "I got the news from the gnomes that there are no new orders for the rune element guards for the time being, so I'm afraid I can't count on it. And all these actions are On the basis of maintaining the normal prosperity of the market. You can't suddenly reduce the expenditure of the castle, otherwise the creditors will be like wild dogs smelling meat. All around."

"Any suggestions?"

Feizac shook his head: "Maybe you have a second gold mine, sir?"

"The City Wall Mountains do contain a lot of treasures, but I have an agreement with the top of Mora. Others can't be allowed to dig mines in the City Wall Mountains. According to our current situation, is there any spare capacity to develop a third mine?"

Feizak shook his head, knowing in his heart that this was impossible. The output of gold mines has stabilized, and there will be no sudden increase; although iron ore has been excavated, the output is low and the manpower is insufficient. Now Siegel has a nickname of "Civil Lord", which is circulated in a small range of southern lords. If a third mine were to be developed, this ugly title would be real.

The two fell silent, while the goat milk was boiling, and Siegel floated the jar over and filled two glasses.

"I'm a lord now, and I can't smuggle in my own territory." Siegel smiled bitterly and said, "And I look down on pirates, so naturally I won't rob other people's things; I'm not a liar, relying on false promises. Make money; and I'm not a war mad, looting other people's territory. It seems that most of the things that come with quick money are reserved for bad people. Faizac, why do you think this is the case?"

"Because honor and conscience are the most valuable things in themselves, they didn't make money, they just sold them cheap?" Feizak replied.

"You talked about my heart." Siegel held up the goat's milk cup and said to Feizak, "Respect to the good man."

Faizak smiled and clinked glasses with him, then took a sip.

Even with the praise of good people, this matter still needs to be resolved, and a solution must be figured out as soon as possible. Siegel told Faizak to eat first, while he leaned against the fireplace, thinking while warming up. Five thousand gold coins is not a large amount, but it is only the minimum demand calculated by Feizak, based on the elemental rune guard's current income - it would be nice if there was a second product.

Since the Knox Common Society has been merged into the Mages Federation, the difference between providing them with new products and selling technology is not big, which can easily affect the strategic situation. They're willing to pay big bucks for something at this time. It may soon be used in warfare. Therefore, the channel of the Master Federation is not a last resort, so it is better not to consider it.

Mora's Pinnacle is not a good market either. Dwarves are interested in mineral gems and exquisite magic weapons, but Siegel can't catch up in these areas for a while, and he has nothing to sell to dwarves. Shield River Beer is a specialty thanks to the help of the Gem Clan. Can't find them again?

After thinking about it, the only rich people around are the lords in the south. They have become accustomed to a comfortable life, and there has been no large-scale battle for a long time. Presumably their gold coins are buried in the treasure house, and they are about to rust? The lords of the south had no mages and no advisors from the Citadel. That is to say, they are still curious about magic. These people seem to be good buyers, but Siegel needs to think about their pursuit of the commodity.

"What do the lords of the South need?" Siegel whispered to the flames, but Fizzak heard it.

"Simple but novel things, but preferably not weapons or armor." Feizak said: "It would be better if it is food and other consumable things, such as the elf biscuits just now."

"It's just rations for hunger. They don't pay for it." Siegel stood up and paced back and forth by the fireplace, thinking about what he could use. Magic, there is no doubt that such things must use magic, so that they can be sold for a long time in the future, and they are not afraid of being easily copied; if the dwarf's rune technology is used like the elemental rune guard, it can increase the monopoly. It also provides a lasting guarantee for spells.

lasting……

Siegel suddenly had an idea.

"Fizak, don't worry, you go to bed now!" Siegel ran out of the room. He ran to his laboratory and study, and his voice echoed in the corridor: "I have a good idea, see if I can make it happen!"

Remember that in the Dragon Lion Cliff, the rock priest used the rune of perseverance, which can improve the stamina of the surrounding companions and enhance the recovery ability of the body. This runestone is expensive to craft. But the effect is worth the money. Siegel did not want to copy the rune as it was, mainly to prevent the lords of the South from using it in their armies. Shoot yourself in the foot. Siegel wanted to weaken this rune to minimize its cost. And the minimum number of people to support.

Due to the reduced power, if the effect of the rune is scattered and covered, the effect will be even worse, so it must be focused. In order to do this, he needs the help of a magic circle. Using part of the Mage's Armor spell, he made an extremely weakened version of the Rune of Fortitude, like armor, to coat the subject with a thin layer.

This kind of transformation is not difficult, and Siegel completed it quickly with his own skilled operation. He tried the effect, and on him, the recovery ability brought by this rune of perseverance was far inferior to his own physique, and he could hardly notice the difference. If it is used on swordsmen and warriors to restore their physical strength, then this product is far from the standard.

But this was in line with Siegel's vision, and he wasn't designing this thing for combat use in the first place. The Knox Commons' emotion-controlling spells are used to manipulate minds and modify memories, but some of the ideas of their spells are still worth learning from. Siegel chose the spells and combined them with Dingbao's gnome's illusion system to create a one-time potion.

The combination of excitement and amplifying emotions, followed by stamina provided by Runes of Fortitude, works wonders. Both the young and the elderly can benefit from it and increase their staying power between beds.

The most perfect part of this product is that the cost is very low~www.novelmt.com~Because it is a weakened and disposable thing, it only needs the most common materials, so Siegel estimates that it is only about hardware coins. The part of the dwarf rune can be used on necklaces or rings and sold as high-level magic items; the part of the potion can ensure a steady stream of profits.

If you don't buy the potion, the rune stone only has a weak ability to restore physical strength, which is better than nothing - so the key to the whole combination is the potion.

Siegel was busy all night, and called the dwarf early the next morning to tell him the cause and effect. "So, I made this kind of thing, hoping to improve the economy of the territory. But I don't want to associate my name with this potion, is that okay?"

"Pi Duck" smiled and said that there was absolutely no problem. "You name this thing," said the dwarf. "I won't do it for you."

Siegel pondered for a while, and then said: "There are dwarf runes in it, which will definitely attract attention. It's better to sell it as a dwarf product, so why is it called the Root of Mora?"

The dwarf laughed, thumbs up high and hard. (To be continued)
