Twenty Sided Dice

???

"I can't agree to your request, Mr. Edith." Siegel said: "First of all, it is difficult for me to perfect the magic of undead transformation within three years and adapt it to people other than me."

"I believe in your ability in spell research, and Heimland is the best example." The half-elf mage looked more certain than the client. "The elemental circle here is breathtaking - I'm not saying how ingenious or grand it is, but it opens up a new path to bring the combination of elemental power and runic power into reality. The Mages Association is most interested in spellcasting The quality of the writers, and their opinions affect me. You have to have confidence in yourself, Siegel."

But the young mage still shook his head and said to his senior: "Thank you for your trust, but I still can't promise you. Heimland is still at war, and the alliance of elves and mage will not decide the winner so quickly. Even with the participation of the Mages Association. As a lord, I don't have that much energy into the research of necromancy, because it will not help the progress of the war. I don't want to find various reasons to perfunctory you three years later .Although this is just an exchange, it contains human favors, and I can't ignore your help to me. Why don't I exchange something that I can provide immediately in exchange for asking the Druid to cast spells?"

Edith revisited Siegel with interest, as if something new could be made of the hollow skull. Then he smiled, then applauded softly, appearing to relax.

"You're a stupid kid, but an honest guy," Edith said. "I can see it. It's hard for you to promise something, but you're the kind of person who promises to do it."

"I wish I could be what you say," Siegel said modestly.

The half-elf mage stood up and let his apprentices and assistants leave, so there were only two of them left in the room.

Siegel sat quietly on the sofa, waiting for him to speak first.

"What do you think the outcome of the war the elves started this time? Is there a chance they will win?" Then he added: "Tell me the truth!"

"Yes. So far, the elves still have the best chance of winning." Siegel said: "Whether it is in terms of the caster's combat ability or the level of the army, the elves have a solid victory. The dwarves are closed to the country. Humans in the New World are like There is no way to compete with the elves with a piece of loose sand. However, the wraiths of the Knox Common Association and their magic methods are very restrained in large-scale battles. If the elves are not careful, they will lose their advantage at any time - but the victory will still be in their hands in hand."

"It seems that you are very awake." Edith said: "After obtaining the evidence that Nekos and Knox are related to each other, the Mages Association has decided to stop Nekos from interfering with this world at all costs. Including many interplanetary operations. As we speak, several teams of mages have set out to find allies."

"That's really good news."

Edith nodded and said to Siegel: "The spell you handed over to the Mages Association. The one called the Energy Focusing Lens was also taken by these Mages. If it really does something to Nekos as you describe it. Technology has good restraint, so you can get more rewards. Since you don't want to give me - or can't give me - necromancy, then I want everything you can get with your energy focus lens spell benefit."

Siegel thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "One spell for another, it's a fair deal. But I have one requirement, that the reincarnation must be successful, and I don't want Janet to be in any danger."

"I will facilitate this, but it is not easy to impress the druids." Edith said. "Druids are elves, and elves and humans are still at war. A lot of things will be inconvenient. But as you said before, the elves have the advantage and the victory, but you haven't surrendered yet. I can't help but have This thought: Did you anticipate something?"

The half-elf mage and Siegel looked at each other. It seemed that they exchanged views through their gazes. Why did Edith repeatedly mention the war, did he mean something? As a half-elf, sandwiched between the two sides of the war, what would he think?

Edith once said that he lived in the Elven Forest for over a hundred years. If it weren't for the fact that the "Art Research Institute" only recruits pure elves, I'm afraid he would not have entered the Association of Mages to study. Siegel looked at Edith's expression, the wrinkles and loose skin on his face reminding him that he had reached the end of his life. At this time, apart from magic, what else does he have nostalgia for?

Siegel suddenly understood. Edith knew the power mobilized by the Mages Association, and he saw the possibility of the elves failing. Therefore, he wanted to find a way back for some of the elves he cared about.

"No one can understand the trend of war, and maybe one day the situation will be reversed. The little guy who used to be inconspicuous may survive among the giants and become the only standing victor." Siegel said: " I have no inescapable hatred for the elves, and Heim Land can set aside some places to protect the free elves who no longer participate in the war, as long as they respect my power as a lord."

Edith held out his hand, and Siegel shook it. Negative energy and curse climbed up the half-elf's arm. Fortunately, the time was short enough to dissolve his protective spell, so no real damage was caused.

"It's really inconvenient for you to be in this state." The half-elf mage smiled. "I don't know what Casper looks like now?"

"He'd probably say, 'Why don't you just die?'"

Edith laughed. At this moment, he put down the burden in his heart and became really happy: "Maybe he didn't realize it, otherwise he would definitely fall into a conflict, worrying about whether to continue the operation of the spell or give up."

"Will he send the mages of the Common Society to check the situation, or launch an attack on Myr City?"

The half-elf mage touched his beard, "This possibility cannot be ruled out, after all, he has even used the Great Curse. You need to strengthen your precautions recently, and the Great Curse will continue to reveal your location, so you stay in the library for the time being. Well, it's safer here."

"Alright, I also want to calm down and learn magic." Siegel said, "But I need to explain something to Janet first to save her from worrying."

"It's best not to approach her. And absolutely avoid contact." The half-elf mage instructed: "The curse and negative energy on you are likely to trigger the self-protection ability of the demon bloodline and accelerate the recovery rate of bloodline power. I will arrange it as soon as possible. Don't worry about reincarnation."

Siegel solemnly thanked Edith again. Then go out of the underground library to arrange affairs of the territory.

Siegel, who was shrouded in the Great Curse, could not appear in front of the knights and the residents of the territory. The appearance of the skeleton and the evil aura he constantly exuded were enough to frighten everyone. The only one in the entire realm that is completely immune to the evil aura is Modesti. The dragon physique is much stronger than the rest.

However, the dragon girl is not interested in walking bones, because this does not allow her to improve her perception of space teleportation. During this time in Heimland. The high concentration of elements played a very important role in her growth, and Modesti embarked on the road of gradual maturity from youth.

Siegel approached her through the raven, hoping that she could strengthen the defense of the territory in the near future to prevent unidentified mages from approaching. Modesty yawned, looking at her expression and didn't take it to heart.

Dragons are all greedy, and Modesty is already the better of them. Siegel took out the "Accurate Teleportation Scroll" and promised to teach her the knowledge in it, which made the dragon girl pay attention. With a real dragon to protect his wife and children. The mage can finally rest assured.

The longer the time drags on, the more pressure the elves will put on the Federation, and the lower the possibility of Kasper's sending someone, so it will be much better as long as they survive the initial situation.

Whether it is internal or external, there is only one caliber: the lord is making runes in exchange for peace from the elves.

Time passed by, and Waterdeep and the elves were at a stalemate, and both sides were reluctant to sacrifice. So the Federation can't attack, and the elves can't get in.

However, elves are not easy to deal with, they must have done research on the Association of Mages. See the magic enchantment of the Three Peaks Pagoda is powerful. They also began to build super-large magic circles to surround Waterdeep. This magic circle is very unique, and no one in the federation has seen anything of similar design and scale.

The elves looked at it very tightly. Everywhere will have guards patrolling day and night. A lot of precious materials were put into the construction of this circle, but the elves did not even show a pity expression. The mages are working day and night, and the sound of spells singing is incessant, as if they are in a concert. But for Master Kasper, there was no mood of appreciation. He knew that the goal of the elves was to break the Three Peaks Pagoda, but he didn't know their means and could not make targeted defenses.

The mages of the Three Peaks Pagoda are trying to decipher the secrets of the Elf Array every day, but the progress is slow. They parsed out the part of the incantation that gathered the power of the elements, a necessary structure in every magic circle. It's just that there are a lot of applications in the magic circle outside the city.

"This is a powerful attack circle." They said in the report: "But it is not out of the scope of elemental magic - we have discovered a magic enchantment that mixes elements. The setting is very clever, and it is hidden in other spells. In the middle of the runes of the formation. But it was still cracked."

Under the influence of the common magic, the mages who were loyal to the federation now trust Casper's leadership. became an admirer. When worship is fanatical enough, it becomes blind, which is exactly how the Knox Commons control the Federation. The mages who came to report their findings were among the first to be turned into zealots, working almost nonstop in order to complete the tasks of Master Casper*.

"Very good, since it is an elemental attack magic, then you only need to change the magic enchantment type of the Three Peaks Pagoda." Master Kasper made a concerned expression and asked his admirers to rest quickly, then got up and walked towards The highest level of the power tower - the control core is set there. In order to avoid being disturbed by magic, the core room isolates all teleportation magic, and spells that prohibit flying, flashing, and shadow walking are also set in the passage. Even the manipulators themselves have to be honest.

There are a total of 527 steps, rough, old, and exudes the taste of history. The walls of the passage are engraved with some warnings circulated among mages, admonishing everyone who passes here to think twice about everything, not to indulge in the temptation of power, and not to use the magic circle of the power tower easily.

Casper thinks this is just some stupid old bullshit. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to not use the power that has been acquired through hard work? Time is life, and strength is the guarantee that you can control your own life.

The staff of might knocked on the steps one after another, making a thud, helping him to reach the top of the tower all the way. There is a complex magic circle here, which has a strong defensive ability both externally and internally. Only the Big Three and the two Tower Array maintainers know how not to trigger these protections.

One wrong step ~www.novelmt.com~ will be irreversible. The Federation has set extremely strict rules on the top floor of the Power Tower, which is completely different from the Federation's usual extremely tolerant style. Like a dance, Kasper made various poses in a predetermined order, and passed a series of checks before he could really touch the control core.

"Cumbersome things." When his consciousness was connected to the tower, he finally felt relieved. It is difficult for the Spell Reversal Barrier to deal with the super-large-scale magic array attack of the elves. It is necessary to open the hidden shadow, change the spatial dimension of the Three Peaks Pagoda, and avoid the cusp of the enemy's elemental attack.

Space magic consumes a lot, especially to cover the entire alliance, even if you take all the elemental power around it, you can't do it. However, the Power Tower also has its own countermeasures: extracting power from the enemy's elemental attacks to supplement its own consumption.

The stronger the enemy's spell, the better the effect of space transfer, and the lower the risk of being attacked. This is the design principle of the hidden shadow.

Kasper concentrated, checking the tower's operation and energy reserves. He suddenly whimpered and found that the Great Curse was still running.

And the energy reserve is almost empty... (To be continued.)
