Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 442: old knight

?Using disguise spells and messengers, Siegel can dress the Djinn as himself. Janet in the past had an element-sensitive constitution, and she could definitely see it, but now I'm afraid she's hard to detect. If you go to the magic lab by yourself, and then let the Djinn depart from there, it is safer to go directly to the venue.

With everything in place, it's best to stagger your games and your time in the stands as much as possible. For example, on the first day of the opening day, he needs to make a speech according to the convention, so he cannot arrange his own game. This involves a lot of work, and even revising the order of the lottery. But here is the city of Myr, and all magic is under the control of Siegel. It is not difficult for him to do this as a lord.

After thinking about all this, he was in a good mood, and even hummed a little tune on the way to the courtyard for restorative training.

While wizards often use meditation to stretch their minds, Siegel has another: muscles. Sweat is a way to bring out impurities from the inside out, forcing the body to create new tissue to replace old and aging parts. Although it will make you breathless and tired, the ethereal and relaxed feeling afterward is something that no mental exercise can replace.

Siegel listened to the creaking of his muscles, knowing that they had received a clear order to start growing and recovering. At the same time, he could hear the clinking of metal and the neighing of horses from the racecourse outside the castle. Some of the fighters who are ready to fight are there to warm up and get used to their new weapons.

Heim took the lead, or found a way out for his sudden forty-fold increase in steel production, announcing the standard blunt sword and shield for all competitors. If the right armor is not available, the Heim Collar also has three sizes of breastplates that can be loaned to contestants for free. If you want to customize the half-body plate armor, you can reduce the price by 10% each time you pass a round. Now it is estimated that the competition will take 12 rounds, so the champion will get 20% more armor money in addition to the armor for free.

Serious half-armor costs 500 gp, while delicate armor costs another 200 gp. For some free knights and mercenaries who are not wealthy, they are often full of confidence - both in their martial skills and calculation skills.

They just don't know what level the iron price in Heimland has dropped to now.

This is a plan made by Janet and Dengshen II after calculation, which is much higher than the income from selling armor directly. Considering that steel and armor craftsmen are inherently important resources for lords. It's not suitable to use the merchant's strategy to cut prices, and Siegel nodded, agreeing to the plan.

In the era of hammer swords and crossbows, armor was especially valuable because of its important protective effect. But a new era is coming, and Siegel has foreseen it. The goblin's musket will make the era of armored knights gone forever, and he may participate in the last large-scale knighthood competition.

A knight comes from a warrior, from a long sword in his hand. When wielding a longsword, it's not just the strength of your hands: your feet need to stand firm. Your legs should be clasped, your waist should sink, and your shoulders and arms should be thrown away. Your ears should hear all the sounds around you, and your eyes should see the present and future of the target. You want to make sure the strength doesn't stagnate at every joint, and you want to make sure the blade hits the opponent's weak spot.

The swordsmanship taught by Sir Bill has been with Siegel since the time of cutting weeds with scythes and daggers. But in Siegel's deduction, there will be no more force from the foot to the hand in the future battlefield, only the eyes and one finger are left. Pulling the trigger and firing projectiles is only half as simple as the current crossbow, but it has dozens of times the power.

When he made the plasma crossbow. For the sake of "chivalry", he only made five-round magazines. Only the spell crossbow he made for himself has more ammunition than this. I haven't seen a goblin's magazine, but their firearms are designed for bursts, and Siegel estimates the ammo to be somewhere between twelve and thirty - cost may be the only thing to consider, not the firing mechanism .

Such an improvement could eliminate all knights, and Siegel swung the blunt sword used for practice fiercely, cutting the wooden pole supporting the dummy in front of him.

"Get me another one, hurry up!"

The next target didn't last long, and Siegel used so much force that even the blunt sword rolled. So he threw the weapon aside. Move your shoulders. Enough exercise today, but his worries have not been resolved.

On the one hand, the knight class is about to disappear. He believed that with human adaptability, there would soon be a new generation of new knights with muskets. They will be subjected to new training methods and new command styles. Use new tactics and tactics. On the road of their rise, there may be a generation to a generation and a half of knights eliminated by the times, but I believe there will be no more.

This is a good thing for humans. As one of the four strongest races, humans have the best adaptability and tactical organization. The learning cycle for dwarves is thirty years, and for elves it is sixty years. This is enough for humans to update two or three generations of warriors.

Orcs have shorter life cycles and reproduce more frequently, but they are less capable of learning and organizing. As for gnomes and halflings and the like, they have nothing to do in the war, on the contrary they will be the least affected group.

During this process, Heimland must not have any problems. It is better not to make great achievements, but also to make the territory composed of castles and knights stable and peaceful. There must be a way to train a new generation of knights, and it must be done proactively. Those knights who cling to past traditions may not be suitable for future development, so from the beginning of this tournament, we must pay attention to the new generation.

Knights will eventually change, so will mages face the same problem one day? When magic no longer requires a special element affinity constitution to use, or when everyone can cast magic with the help of tools, what will happen to the wizard?

Perhaps this is not the most dire situation yet. Although the goblin's musket is ferocious at present, it has not exceeded the limit of the mage's tolerance. For official mages and mages, there are hundreds of ways to avoid blows. But if weapons like the Void Cannon become accessible to ordinary people, then the status of the mage will not be guaranteed, right?

Like a knight facing a dense goblin musket.

Siegel was a little fortunate that the Void Cannon was researched by his mage, which gave the mage enough time to deal with it. So the strongest force in the world is not the rise of force, but research ability and adaptability? If one considers that mortals can never be omniscient and omnipotent, is survival of the fittest the truth of the multiverse?

Siegel knew that he was thinking too much about his ideas, and that he had overused his brain recently, and he was a little too ambitious. He threw the sweaty towel to the servant and walked towards the castle while relaxing his shoulders.

A few days later, the knights, destined to be eliminated by history, were dressed and refreshed, waiting for Siegel's reception. A pure member of the Grand Tournament does not need to be so troublesome, but Siegel is not only the Earl of Heim Land, but also the ** division of the Federation, which makes his identity very sensitive. The ** division is equivalent to the title of duke in the Kingdom of Stars, and the territory of Heim Territory gives him real power as a "duke".

In order to avoid the situation becoming too solemn and solemn, it was misunderstood as the king meeting his ministers. Janet arranged the singers and dancers in the hall, and served a simple meal in the style of a federation meeting. Siegel also didn't wear fancy aristocratic attire, but the elven-style armor that didn't hinder spellcasting too much, and met the visitor like a warrior.

So the hall was filled with music, laughter, and the clanging of iron boots on flagstones. The dancers danced in designated areas, and the musicians were instructed to play only songs that praised courage, kindness, and victory, so the singers repeated those songs over and over again, and Siegel quickly got bored. He looked at the person in front of him. Ninety-nine percent of them didn't know him, and more than eighty percent of the family crests had never been seen before. He even saw a young man who made his family crest with a squid with seven claws and winked at him frequently. What does it mean?

He and these people have absolutely nothing in common, except for hypocritical greetings, which are the same encouragement and appreciation. Fortunately, a lot of food is provided during the banquet, and only meat includes crocodiles, sharks, yaks, antelopes and other uncommon species. Of course, some meats cannot be served, such as the white goose that symbolizes holiness, the warrior's horse and dog meat. The well-prepared and hearty dishes have given Siegel many good ways to escape:

"Oh, the shark was caught from the deep by a heroic captain, and three crew members were injured. Sharks are powerful predators in the sea, representing vigilance and bravery, you should try more!"

Although he used the method of diverting the topic to speed up the interview, he soon felt that the corners of his mouth were twitching, and it was difficult to even make a smile, which was much more tiring than chanting a spell! I remember that when he was making the Myr core, he used to chant the mantra for a whole day, until his throat became hoarse and his mouth was not as tired as it is today. You should cast an illusion on your face when no one is paying attention, and maintain a permanent smile.

"Be patient for a while, dear." Janet saw Siegel's anxiety and assured him gently: "More than half of it has passed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and I have already ordered it to come up as soon as possible."

"Well, I'm just a little tired. I haven't seen the family crests of these knights, and that thick book is a waste of time."

Siegel didn't read a single page of "Important Families and History of the Continent", all of which were coolies made by Dengshen II. It did not expect that it would be of no help, and the badge described to him by the master through the communication technique could not be found at all. Several times it retrieved results, but it was only a few hedge knights who created their own badges for themselves, and the results were repeated with the badges of some famous families. Although Siegel was embarrassed, he couldn't accuse the hedge knights of not having enough knowledge on this occasion - he himself was not the same, he didn't learn this knowledge at all.

"No important family has appeared, and most of the people who come are small nobles and newcomers who want to soar." Siegel said to Janet: "It's a good thing for us to win them, but I'm worried if it's us The influence is still too low to attract real masters at all."

"No, there are also families with a long history. They even dispatched the second and third heirs. It's just that they respect their status and are unwilling to compete for your attention with people who don't usually have the opportunity. If you meet..." Janet stopped abruptly and said to Siegel, "Get up, my dear, here comes the Griffin family from the Star Kingdom." (To be continued.)
