Twenty Sided Dice

?

For the New World, the Academy is a distant and mysterious organization. It is closely connected with the starry royal family, serves this human nation, and provides intellectual advice and magical assistance to all human lords in need of service.

However, only those high lords who hold real power will really ask for the assistance of the Master of the Academy.

Ph.D. Faranis once said to Siegel during his lifetime: "The most active-minded mages are in the Federation, the most traditional guys are in the mages' guild, and those who are not an inch in spell ability, and who are full of knowledge, will Go to the school city."

It is precisely because of the in-depth study of various miscellaneous knowledge that the Xuecheng can judge whether a mage has reached the standard of a doctorate.

The letter from the Citadel attracted the attention of Siegel, and it was sent by the messenger of the Uther family, and the significance of its subsequent representation was also thought-provoking. After the magic tower of the Mages Association collapsed, it was obvious that the Mages Association began to personally intervene in the affairs of the New World, and the appearance of the Academy was the beginning.

"Is the political struggle of the starry royal family over?" Siegel couldn't find an answer from Feizak and Mana, so he hurriedly ended the meeting and found Alexander, the lich master.

After leaving Waterdeep City, he has been staying on the third underground floor of Myr City, which is next to the magic circle of the energy focusing lens. This magic circle seems to have a huge attraction to him, it can make him not move all day, only the golden soul fire in his eyes keeps jumping.

Siegel was worried that when Alexander was happy, he erased the recognition of the magic circle and controlled the largest amulet in Heimland. In response to this question, the Lion King shook his head and said in a sincere tone that he could not do it.

During the Elf War, Alexander once went to the Starry Kingdom to mediate the conflict between the two princes at the request of the Mages Association, and he knew more than anyone in the New World.

"The two princes, Aaron and Evan, have their own supporters. But Aaron clearly has the upper hand. If it wasn't for his broken body and no heir, I'm afraid things wouldn't be so troublesome." Alexander Said: "The Citadel and the Magi Society mean support from both sides. But it is only limited to the help of ingenuity, and spells are not allowed. So as not to turn into a spell war. The main purpose of my visit at the time was to convince the two princes to agree on this point. ."

"What's the result?" Siegel asked.

"Aaron has always had the support of the Temple of Dawn, and the need for the magical abilities of the mages is not urgent. Naturally agrees with this condition. Evan hopes that the city can at least provide magical protection to prevent the spell damage that may be caused by the other party. I left. This matter is still under debate at the time, but if the letter you showed me is true, then the Academy must have made a decision to support Prince Aaron's ascension to the throne."

In this way, isn't Evan in danger? Siegel worries about his friend.

"Don't worry about that. The Citadel has always left itself behind - their political skills are very good. Even if they decide to support Aaron, the Citadel will protect Evan, after all, he is also the son of the former king."

"Then I'll be more at ease." Siegel breathed a sigh of relief and said, "According to what you said, Xuecheng seems to have always been smooth, why did it suddenly become clear, do you think this letter will be forged? "

Alexander shook his head: "I can tell you for sure that the magical emblem of the letter to the school city is real. It may be to prevent the Starry Kingdom from falling into a full-scale civil war and depleting the power of human beings, so the school city will suddenly have a clear flag." His eyes Still staring motionless at the elemental rune core. But the mouth said to Siegel: "If I were you, there would be no need for any conflict with His Majesty King Aaron. Whether the Uther family is loyal to the Star Kingdom will not affect your relationship with the elves at all. As long as you don't The idea of ​​serving the elves, why not cooperate with the Starry Kingdom and Uther?"

"At the end of the story. Don't you still have the title of the Royal Baron of the Star Kingdom? Isn't Aaron still the object of your allegiance? Are you going to be an oath-breaker?"

Siegel sighed and sat down a little dejectedly. "Mr. Alexander," there was a hoarseness in his voice, "is there any way to know the latest news in the New World?"

"It's very difficult, unless your spell ability is enough to create a teleportation formation across the sea or build a magic tower close to the height of the Three Peaks Pagoda." The lich giggled and replied: "Only these two things can make your magical communication possible. The ability to reach the other end of the sea, otherwise you can only rely on the merchant ships to get news. Some carrier pigeons can fly across the sea, but you should know that this method is not very reliable.”

Seems to know what Siegel is thinking. Alexander continued: "If you use the energy focusing lens array to increase the elemental concentration in the territory, I can directly use the teleportation technique to go to the Starry Kingdom. But that will definitely cause the Mage Association to notice. As an undead monster, it is still theoretical. The dead mages union giant. For now, it is better for me to stay in your magic circle and not move around."

Siegel nodded, put away the mind floating in the air, and prepared to leave. Alexander stopped him and said, "You have a martial artist named Tiger Bill, don't you? As far as I know, he is now a viscount and a supporter of Aaron. Maybe his choice can give you some hint."

What tips? Siegel pretended not to understand. If Janet was here, Siegel might be able to get advice from her. The rules of the game between nobles and nobles have never been Siegel's strong point, but there is one thing he can do, that is to be a mage and use the power of magic to intimidate others.

So he decided to attend the meeting of the League of Southern Lords initiated by Viscount Uther.

The three with the status of the great lords are Viscount Dre Uther, Baron Brown Lester and Baron Siegel Squid. The Uther family has the strongest military force, the Lester family occupies the largest area, and the squid family... A mage lord and an undefeated record are enough to explain everything.

Baron Siegel was fully armed, with a golden magic ring, a pale red shift cloak, a milky white elf magic breastplate protecting his vitals, a long sword of stardust on his waist, a defensive staff in hand, and strode into the discussion with his head held high. in the hall. It is protected by two spellcasters from the Citadel from prying eyes and sneak attacks by elves. Without this assurance, Siegel would not have followed them to Fort Garco.

The meeting place was not the Uther family's Xiling City, but the Leicester family's territory. It is said that it was also to avoid the attention of the elves.

Viscount Uther and Baron Brown rose from the sofa to pay their respects. Siegel returned the salute one by one, and gave a kind smile to Patrick Lester who was standing beside him. Patrick lived in Myr for more than three months, and did not let him leave until Siegel had completed the capture of five castles and secured the territory's defenses. Patrick was quite critical of this - after all, he had always wanted to help Siegel - but then grew stronger with Heimland. These "complaints" have no real meaning.

Who sits in the middle when the three great lords gather? Siegel looked at the empty seat in front of him and walked straight over. Then sit next to it. He won't be fooled and make the mistake of being young and arrogant. Dre Uther was a high-ranking person and had a relationship with the academy. He was the perfect candidate to sit on the main seat.

Thinking of Xuecheng, Siegel carefully looked at the two mages standing in the corner. Mages from the Citadel are called "servants" or "advisers", they wear uniform brown hoodless robes, and their hands are always outside the long sleeves - most of the time with their fingers interlaced in front of their belly . They rarely wear magic items, but always have a wand around their waists. The other side is either a magic book or a scroll box. They also noticed Siegel's gaze and greeted him with a friendly smile.

The magic fluctuations on these two people are not strong, and they are different from Siegel himself, but it cannot be ruled out that it is the result of deliberate concealment.

Viscount Uther, wearing a loose purple velvet coat and leaning on a steel cane, sat on the throne with a smile. Baron Brown, stronger and more rosy than the last time we met, sat beside Viscount Uther. After the three "Great Lords" took their seats, the others took their seats. Among the lords of the South, Siegel didn't know many people. One of the jobs is Janet. Fortunately, Dre Uther started the meeting directly, saving time wasted on chatting.

"The elves have suffered a defeat in Waterdeep City, and they have suffered heavy losses. They have been unable to unify the entire New World." Viscount Uther said easily.

In their mouths, the new continent is just a piece of the city wall and mountains, Siegel laughed in his heart. The outside world is very big, and the elves can't rule the whole new continent.

"As a kingdom shared by all human beings, the new king of the Fanxing Royal Family, Aaron Fanxing I has ascended the throne. The new king has great ambitions and can't bear to watch the human compatriots in the new world suffer the harm of the elves, so he calls on everyone to unite and fight against the strong enemy. "

"Praise the king!" shouted Viscount Herman from Tauber: "Long live the king!"

Siegel smiled and applauded softly. Agreed. But he knew about Prince Aaron's physical condition, hooray? If he can live another 10,000 hours, even if he is dead.

Cheers from Viscount Hermann. Dre Uther just smiled in response, and continued: "According to the analysis of the advisors of the Academy, the elves must shrink their defenses, and first stabilize the site they stand on. From the elves forest to the north or south, this is a A dilemma. We're in the elf south, and the self-reliant, withdrawn, philistine, and disobedient Waterdeep merchants are in the north. Let the elves harass the hateful merchants, we're all honest peasants."

There was a chorus of laughter in the hall.

"We want to show the strength of the southern lords at this time and force the elves to move north. This requires everyone to mobilize and not be trapped in the city like a mouse." Baron Brown continued.

It seems that before I came, the meeting had basically reached a "consensus". Siegel scratched his face and looked at the other two great lords with interest. It is now known that Dre Uther is loyal to the Starry Kingdom and is supported by the Academy, so what about Baron Brown?

After the southern coalition attacked Heimland, Baron Brown looked around for Mage Advisors, and once found the Mage Federation. However, he was deceived by the people of the Knox Common Society and built a red spire in the territory. Siegel saw the tower through the control core of the hub and sent a letter to ask about it. Baron Brown claimed that he did not know, and then drove out the mages of the Common Society and demolished the magic tower that had not yet been formed.

Siegel thought for a while, Baron Brown should also have a city advisor, and he would not miss such an opportunity. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"It's a good thing to drive the elves north, but what about the elves in our own territory?" Baron Devon from the River Valley was a lean, capable middle-aged man who spoke quickly and urgently. "A lot of soldiers died in front of the ancient tree of war, and we have nothing to do with that monster."

Viscount Herman shook his three-tiered chin and said with a sneer: "Poor ghost, do you still keep gold coins for the cub? Buying some lightning bolts and repeating crossbows can hurt the tree demon. If you are lucky, you can also Can harvest a bunch of bonfires!"

"We all need bolts, who knows who made them?" Sir Brown said, looking at Siegel out of the corner of his eye.

Viscount Uther's gaze didn't sweep over, but he didn't open his mouth, letting speculation and silence spread in the venue. (To be continued.)

ps: The previous article always called Baron Siegel, I was confused. His full name is Siegel Squid, and he should be called Baron Squid. It's wrong to be wrong. Everyone shouted randomly, hehehehehe.

The same problem happened to Brown Leicester. I used to write it as Sir Brown, but it should be Sir Leicester. The previous article can’t be changed. It’s good for everyone to know who is who, hehehehe (I started to play stupid.)
