Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 105: roll the dice

Lin Ke's body fell into the cage, and Siegel left him to the crow in the sky. The low temperatures and heavy snow here would keep the carcasses for a long time if they weren't eaten by crows. Siegel took one last look at Lin Ke, who had entertained him, helped him, and then betrayed him, retracted his long sword into its scabbard, and turned to leave.

He now needs to make a decision as to which direction to go next. One way is to go south and try to climb over the Walled Mountains, through the orcs' heavy defenses, to the Black Blood Castle. The other is eastward along the Blackwater River to Makabuta, where it returns to the south by waterway. Both roads are full of unknown difficulties and dangers, and both will be long and harsh. Siegel hesitated. There was no one to guide him at this time, and there was no use in praying to God, and he had to make this decision as soon as possible.

'South or north? ' Siegel thought of a solution. He took the dice from the necklace, threw it into the air, and watched it fall on the snow. The dice bounced, and it took a long time to stop. "It's seven, go to Macabota for the odd." Siegel picked up the dice and checked his luggage one last time. "Looks like I'm going to be a sailor again."

He walked non-stop for eight hours, with only a short break in between. Siegel took the opportunity to put a lot of barley flour in his mouth and flushed it down with strong liquor. The orc patrols were encountered on the road, but Siegel spotted them from a distance and hid in time. Siegel was good at spotting orcs when he was sailing at sea, and now he can see farther from the sky with the help of the raven's eyes. Those orcs all headed in the same direction, Bacon Town. If you go any later, you may be trapped in the town and cannot escape.

Compared with the grasslands occupied by nomadic tribes, the north of the City Wall Mountains is more barren and desolate, and the cold winter is approaching, and the beasts also need to find a place to escape the cold, so Siegel did not encounter any living creatures except the orc patrols along the way. Difficulty replenishing food. As you go east, the terrain gradually decreases, and you can see that there are fewer and fewer mountains, and the valleys are wider and smoother. Siegel first walked 30 miles, then no longer had the strength to maintain the elf pace. Considering that it was far away from Bacon Town, he chose to walk in the usual way. This will make the mage's feet sink into the snow, and the movement speed will be greatly reduced, but it can save physical strength.

The appearance of the Blackwater River gave Siegel a sigh of relief. According to the records of the traveling mage Eric, this 200-meter-wide river never freezes, because its main water flow comes from the hot springs from the ground, blessed and protected by the fire, so even in the coldest winter Won't let it sail too. It is said that the orcs who drink the water here have the power of fire and will not be hurt by the enemy's fire. But Siegel wasn't quite sure how the body could tell whether a flame was friend's or foe's? Every time the orcs plundered the army, many people were burned to death in the city wall mountain range, and the power of the Blackwater River did not see any effect.

So far so good, Siegel avoids the most dangerous wastelands, where there is no cover and no hiding places are found. Now on the Black Water River, both sides are washed out valleys. Under the water that never freezes, there are also dense trees growing here, enough to block those dangerous sights. Siegel found a cozy tree hole that night, and covered it with thick pine needles that he could squeeze in to escape the icy cold outside. Siegel hadn't had a fire to cook for a long time, and now he finally had his chance. He built a simple wall of snow outside the tree hole to block fire and wind. The familiar raven flew out to hunt during this time, and was lucky to find a gray-white rabbit. The stupid rabbit was so fat that he thought he would not be caught by hiding under a pile of dead branches. Balon's senses were far superior to those of a normal raven, and he spotted it from a distance, then pierced its head with a fire ray. Siegel decided to reward his familiar, giving the rabbit half of it.

He grasped the last light of the day, collected enough fuel, and lit the fire. All Siegel thinks about now is food, steaming hot roast rabbits and stews. The key space keeps the food inside from spoiling, but it does not preserve the temperature of the food. Siegel removed carrots, onions, and turnips from it, along with a small packet of salt. Other ingredients, such as potatoes or tomatoes, will make him happier, but don't expect too much in the wild, and they'll be enough for a comfortable night out.

The sun drove the shadows to move between the trees. Finally, the shadows on the west side became longer and longer, and finally completely covered the inside of the tree hole, leaving only the red glow of fire burning at the entrance of the hole. Siegel threw all the rabbit's guts to the raven, then put half of the skinned rabbit on the fire for a little grilling, and the other half chopped and threw it in the helmet pot. Where there is snow, there is water. Stewed meat can comfort the tired body and relieve the tense nerves. It didn't take long for Siegel to eat rabbit stew, and Baron to enjoy the minced meat that Siegel helped him remove. It doesn't like fully roasted things, but prefers half-baked meat to raw meat.

When the dinner was over, the night was quite dark, and the owls chirped along with the cold wind in the dark woods. Through the lush foliage, the moon could be seen rising into the sky, and there would be a full moon in about five days, which also marked the time that three full months had passed since leaving Waterdeep. At that time, with Siegel were Janet and the bard Yarel, and three horses. Now the mage is left with only his raven.

A sense of loneliness struck Siegel's heart. Even though he had become the jazz he dreamed of as a child, and a mage he never even thought about, these successes could not erase the loneliness of being an orphan. This kind of loneliness and loneliness made him think. When he was a crew member on the Soth, he always dreamed of breaking out into the world and becoming a hero that everyone noticed, but he didn't know what to do. I just want to join a certain mercenary group with a short sword like all the commoner teenagers with dreams, starting from a stable boy, and slowly practice my skills. If you are unlucky, you may be injured in a certain operation and have to change careers and become a blacksmith or a cobbler. Only those lucky children who can survive for five years can really participate in the affairs of the mercenary group.

But that's just a mercenary, taking money to do things for others, licking blood on the tip of a knife, and it's even more difficult to go further. If it wasn't for the captain's dying arrangement, he found a really capable knight as a guide for him, Siegel should now be drinking and fighting in the tavern, fighting for a gold coin or a wine **** girl. . Sir Bill broadened Siegel's horizons, taking him from the level of a mercenary to a knight, while his friends Leah the Elf and Erinte the Dwarf further enhanced Siegel's technical abilities, learning from them things that will last a lifetime.

If it weren't for the dwarf Erint, if it weren't for the adventure of Dragon Lion Cliff, Siegel would not be able to afford the cost of learning spells for more than ten years. This took him to a new level. Novel and strange spells, endless knowledge, and even various worlds to go to in the future, Siegel only found his way to become a hero at this time. But Sir Bill's words and deeds are still there, and Siegel's loneliness makes him and Sir have similar thoughts. Compared with being a researcher in the Three Peaks Pagoda of the Mage Federation, he hopes to become a mage who owns land and builds his own tower on his own land.

"Belonging to me", this word is an orphan's longing, Siegel counted what he has, including teachers, friends, lovers, martial arts and spells, which made him feel happy. He still remembered Mrs. Deep, Waterdeep's own cook. When he came out to take risks, he could see the real concern and reluctance in her eyes, which was an extremely precious emotional support for Siegel. A year ago, Siegel had fantasized about leaving the big ship, carrying a dagger, fighting wars and adventures in the New World, doing what he wanted, putting down all the unpleasant guys, and then spending all his money on food and spirits. As if that's what young people should do. However, after experiencing his family and affection, he decided to change the purpose of the adventure, no longer just for himself, but also for all the people around him.

So he will follow the result of the dice and head east to Macabuta. In fact, there are ambitions hidden in his thoughts, and there may be a chance to burn that seaport to the flames, which can greatly reduce the battle pressure on Waterdeep City, and even change the entire battlefield situation. If he didn't have this idea, would he foolishly choose Dongjin? Staring at the firelight in front of him, he silently prayed to God~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hope that Janet, Bill, and Evan are all safe and sound, and Prince Aaron will be able to recover from misfortune. In the past, I always prayed to God for my own affairs, but got no response. It is said that only by devoting my devotion to the well-being of others can I be heard by good gods. In addition to the safety of his relatives, he also prayed that he could figure out a way to sneak into the city and destroy the shipyard under the eyes of countless orcs. But this task seems impossible to complete no matter how you think about it. The orcs are savage, brutal, bloodthirsty, and lack discipline, but they are not stupid - at most, they just think slowly. They will definitely be fortified there, and a large town like Macabut will not have only one witch sacrifice, so you must be very careful when using spells and must avoid being discovered. In this tree hole, he could hear the sound of the rushing water of the Black River not far away, and he was full of thoughts for a while. Compared with asking God for help, Siegel knew how to use his knowledge and strength to solve the problem. The essential.

"I must be able to help them there, isn't it, Baron?"

The raven tilted its head to look at him, no matter what, it would agree with the master's idea, which is a deep imprint in the soul of the familiar. Baron nodded and let out a quack. Then, he jumped into Siegel's arms and gently tugged at the pocket of his master's waist with his black beak. Siegel knew that the raven was connected with his own mind, and many of his own thoughts would subtly affect the familiar. He touched Balon's smooth feathers and opened his pocket, which was the Soul Crystal of the Knox Common Sorcerer.

"Maybe this can help me." Siegel took out the gem and looked at it carefully. At the same time, he opened the key space and found the books of the sorcerer, hoping to find clues from it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Welcome to reading, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all at~www. wuxiaspot.com~. ;
