Twenty Sided Dice

"You really should inform the colleagues of the Federation. A dragon that came to human territory threatened the safety of a mage for no reason. No matter from which point of view, we have captured or killed it. Power." That's the opinion from the federation. Siegel thought it was interesting: after the magic ship was in the air, they seemed eager to try the ship's prowess. "Master Siegel, if you agree, please issue a mission to the Federation, and we will capture this beast for you. The magic ship can also conduct aerial patrols to help defend the airspace of Heim Territory."

"How are you going to reply to us?" Verwood didn't seem to have the self-consciousness of the Federation Mage, and sat upright in Siegel's study after sending the letter. "In my opinion, the construction of the magic ship made some mages overheated, lost their calm thinking, and overestimated their own strength. Although this letter is the opinion of the federation, please believe that if it is not for observation Which mages are more likely to be aggressive and short-sighted, this letter simply won't pass."

There are factions everywhere, even in the thriving Mages Federation. Although Division William was out all year round and claimed that he did not worry about the daily affairs of the Federation, Siegel was still the only resident police division, but the Federation still slowly evolved into two factions. Some people hope to maintain the status quo, continue to study the follow-up development of Myr's energy core under the leadership of Master Siegel, and cultivate apprentices. Others wished to leave Heimland with the magic boat, at least to a neutral location, lest the world mistake the Federation for the private property of Heimland.

Neither was wrong, except that the former was more in Siegel's interest. I believe that if it wasn't for the fact that the Three Peaks Pagoda could not move, the Federation would also have such a situation when they were in Waterdeep City. Siegel didn't expect to be able to tie the Federation to Heim Collar for the rest of his life. He only needed ten years for the Federation to do his best to train a group of mages for Heim Collar, so that the academy could continue to operate.

He foresees the arrival of a new era, a world dominated by magic craftsmen, where alchemy, magic forging and advanced pharmacy will replace blacksmiths and bowsmiths as the core that determines combat effectiveness.

So Siegel wants to make sure that in this decade, the research and development direction of the federation is in line with his ideas. This is a win-win for the Federation and Heimland. It's just that some people focus on the biggest gain. Obviously, both sides can get 8 points, but people like them prefer a situation where they have 10 points and the other side has 4 points.

"Then do you see who is who?" Siegel shook his head and said helplessly: "There are still more than four months. The meeting of the dwarves will be held, and the news of the goblin world will be known to the whole world. Although Now this is an open secret at the top of the various organizations, but whoever knows more will have the upper hand. What's the point of driving the magic ship out now, other than showing off its power? And patrolling over Heimland. It's ridiculous how this idea came up."

"Understood, this situation will soon be stopped. In order for the federation to better re-establish its image in front of the world, it must be united now." Wiewood touched the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes, the time for connivance had passed, Young mages should be either warned or suppressed. Academic contention does not mean loose management, especially during this critical period.

Siegel picked up the quill and began to write a reply. The content is very simple. First of all, I would like to thank the Federation for being able to always pay attention to what happened in Heimland. And then very politely declined the proposal of catching dragons and patrolling the magic ship. He also asked about the derivation of the explosive formula, and whether alchemists could find a way to produce this stuff cheaply in large quantities.

Verwood took the reply and looked at it for himself first. "The formula is almost the same, and there are only a dozen days left to complete the complete copy. However, the production cost is still a big problem. Relying on the method of the alchemy laboratory, this explosive is three times more expensive than the thunderstone, and no one can equip it. Affordable." He then smiled: "But it's a good way to keep them busy. As long as people get busy, they won't have too much extra thought."

"I hope so." Siegel stood up. This is the meaning of seeing off, Verwood folded the letter and put it in the space bag. Before leaving, he said, "Master Siegel, have you stopped thinking about it? It's not the best choice to have Master William attend the dwarf meeting on behalf of the Federation."

"Long-term. After all, the Federation and Heimland can't be made one. That will either cause the Federation to split again, or it will turn Lord Helm into a situation like the Masked Council of Waterdeep. I can't guarantee mine either. The descendants are all masters, right?"

"Isaac is smart and clever, who said he can't be a ** teacher. After all, he has your blood in him. It's just that one child is missing a little, I know there are many people who are willing to share your worries for you."

"Ha, you're so polite. If you keep talking, I'll mistake you for my housekeeper." Siegel waved his hand and said, "Let's think about the goblins first, they are more attractive to me. ."

"Hahaha. This joke..." Verwood shook his head with a smile, covered his stomach and left.

The competition continued, and this time no green dragons came out to make trouble. The Griffin family quickly left Heimland. It is said that they went all the way east and went back to the old continent by boat. As for their relationship with the Green Dragon, whether they had been in contact for a long time or were temporarily coerced, everyone has different opinions. Siegel has his own point of view: the green dragon is just an errand in the whole thing, and what it said when it left Heimland was obviously a mission. Who is commanding the green dragon behind it, and what kind of plans are there, this is the question that the mage cares about.

But apart from the Master of Prophecy, no one could answer this question for him.

Not every time Master William can send news in advance, so not having his own Master of Prophecy will keep the Federation at a disadvantage. Predictability never smiled at Siegel, and he found himself utterly useless at it. Only by obtaining enough information and making targeted preparations can the mages exert their strongest strength.

Not only Siegel, but Heimland also needs to make preparations. Warriors who show smartness or excellent shooting ability in the competition are the targets that Siegel focuses on recruiting. Heim has the superior weapon of the plasma burst crossbow, so the soldiers under Siegel pay more attention to the long-range attack ability. For ordinary lords, the knight's armor, weapons and mounts do not need him to pay, only the consumption of arrows and crossbow bolts requires him to pay, so long-range strikes are throwing gold coins on the battlefield. The maintenance cost and service life of crossbows are far less than those of metal weapons, so only a few rich and powerful lords will equip and reserve such things in large quantities.

"Sooner or later, the muskets from the goblins will spread to this world and affect the course of history." Siegel focused his attention on the production progress of the explosive formula, which is currently the biggest obstacle to the promotion of muskets.

Golem troops will also need to change their tactics, and sooner or later the powerful melee attack golems will be eliminated. In the face of firearms, the larger the volume, the easier it is to be hit. Even the fine armor of the dwarves can't stop the musket, so what reason can golems perform better?

Therefore, the golem must develop into a light and small size, and if it can be the same size as a cat, it is the ideal situation. In the face of strong offensive and defensive weapons, hiding and first-hand shooting capabilities are particularly important, and mobility is the second thing to consider.

As for what weapons to equip, Siegel hasn't made up his mind yet. The strongest weapon in his hand is of course the electromagnetic gun, but once it is equipped on the golem, it will quickly attract the attention of others, and it is certain to be cracked. The goblin's musket is the first choice, but you need to wait for the gunpowder recipe. At present, it seems that either the long-range attack method of the elemental golem is used, or the continuous crossbow is used.

Siegel shook his head and decided to solve the golem's miniaturization and mobility first, and the choice of weapons could be put aside. In terms of golem production, the level of the Mages Association is much higher than that of the Federation, and many books can only be found from the Association. In the end, there is still no way around this hurdle. The two masters of the federation have to meet the masters of the Mage Association.

Who they will send to the meeting of the dwarves is unknown, and the information is kept strictly secret, with little chance of being inquired. Although it was delayed again and again, the meeting between the two mages was inevitable. William has made it clear that he does not want to be involved in this matter, so despite all his reluctance, Siegel can only bite the bullet in order to find the missing spells.

Fortunately, the Federation has a council where mages with voting rights come together to decide policy. Even Siegel can't decide the Federation's affairs in one word, which is very different from the past when the Big Three could decide everything. A little less clout, but Siegel can be less of a headache than setting policy and the bottom line.

The council tried to pass the motion of "Let the ** teacher who went to the meeting have full authority to handle the liaison with the association", UU read www. uukanshu. com was voted down by Siegel as a teacher. In front of his proud smile, the leaders of each faction had to face the fact that they had to come up with a practical plan, even if they had to face the Mage Association, which had a great prophet and was ahead step by step.

The bell rang again in the direction of the arena, and it seemed that the afternoon game was about to begin. Siegel stood up and decided to continue his thinking on the podium of the competition arena. He gradually got used to keeping his mind focused in the noisy environment, while still paying attention to the competition on the field.

He took out his wand and was about to cast a teleportation spell when he heard the door of the study banged open. Janet rushed in with a letter in her hand. What happened to make her so embarrassed?

"Letter, Siegel, a letter from Sir Bill." She shoved the paper into Siegel's hand and said, "Something is going to happen."

"What could it be?" Siegel took a quick look, then widened his eyes. His brows furrowed tightly, and he carefully read the letter from beginning to end, word by word.

"The two of them are going to meet, at the meeting of the dwarves?" Siegel still felt incredible, his mind buzzing: "They can't really be this big, are they?" (To be continued.)
