Chapter 465: Seeking the Dragon
The kingdom's starry banner fluttered on the masts of the royal fleet, but Aaron's one-eyed longsword flag was replaced by Evan's golden sunflower. At Siegel's suggestion, the side of the golden sunflower depicts a radiant sun, much to the delight of the Temple of Dawn. The High Priest of Aurora was the first to present his new Majesty with a pair of bracers with the Dawn Light pattern.
"The bracers are made of the stars, and they are fitting for the title of the Kingdom of Stars. It is difficult for mortal things to destroy it, and the Lord of the Dawn has carved a mark on it with holy power, bringing light at any time and dispelling darkness and evil. ”
Evan moved into the room next to Aaron, the original residence for the guards, and then accepted allegiance from the temple, the court, the guards, and the school. Master Liel also needed to bow before the king, but there was nothing to show in his expression, he was still so calm and calm.
"Master, there's something I want to ask you for. Evan said, "Aaron's health has improved under the personal care of the Lord of the Morning Sun, but he is still very weak. The Dwarven Stone Boat is not a good place to recuperate, I would like to ask you to escort him out first and return to live in the Star King City, I wonder what you think?"
"The meeting of the Dwarven King is imminent, does His Majesty need my advice?"
"Based on the level of information sharing among the dwarves now, I don't think this meeting will be anything substantial. So what the dwarves say is not very important, what matters is the attitude of the Mage Association and the school city in this matter, and this is one of the forces that can make my final decision. Although the Mageist Guild and the School City are nominally two organizations, no one can ignore their close ties within themselves. As the Great Prophet of the Academy, I hope that Master Liel can strengthen his cooperation with the Mage Guild and maintain the same interests as the Star Kingdom in the matter of goblins, so that he can seize the opportunity and tide over the difficulties. ”
Leel bent down deeply and said respectfully, "Your Majesty has such considerations. It is the blessing of the kingdom. I will now follow your orders and arrange the return journey of His Highness Aaron. ”
"In addition to the Golden Flagship and its two escort supply ships, the rest of the Royal Navy escorted the escort. Wise Aaron can't go back alone, do you understand?"
In this way, the representative of the school city left the unsinkable stone boat ahead of schedule and escorted Aaron to the east. The Dwarven King was puzzled. But he can only accept the explanation of the new king of mankind: "The school city is an institution that serves the royal family, and everything is aimed at the long-term peace and stability of the royal family." Therefore, the school city will not express its opinion at the meeting, unless it is ordered by the royal family. ”
Everyone, including Salk, the head of the court, thought that the promoter behind this move was Siegel, the Earl of Heim, but this completely wronged him. Although he has been on the unsinkable boat, Siegel has his attention on the hundred-sided dice.
This time, I took a closer look, and the hundred-sided dice and my own twenty-sided dice were completely the same material, but the number of carved faces on them was more and the pattern was more fine. A hundred faces almost make this little thing a spherical shape. But if you roll it on the table, he only has one number facing up at a time and there is never a problem.
A few numbers of the twenty-sided dice shone brightly, but the hundred-sided dice did not move. Whether it's magic, elementals, or other forms of energy, the Hundred Dice don't pay any attention. Siegel also tried to use a set of swordsmanship with the dice, and it remained unmoved.
"Okay, it's okay if it's useless, you don't have to worry about it. Siegel muttered to himself. Put both dice away: "But now you'll have to aim all at me." Even if he doesn't know that I have twenty-sided dice, he is determined to get this hundred-faced dice. ”
For the skills of Archmage Liele. Siegel has a very clear understanding. If it weren't for the fact that he had become an archmage himself and mastered skills such as the Four Veins Divine Arrow, he would have been powerless in the face of Liel's legendary spells. And this time, if it weren't for the teleportation array left by the Elven Sage to attract the power of the Mir Energy Core, he would have the skills and not enough strength to exert it.
The lack of advanced spells will be one of his biggest obstacles. If a spell like Meteor Burst can still find a foundation from a low-level spell and slowly deduce it. Then the Time Pause, the Otherworldly Gate, and the Great Warning Technique are like empty pavilions in the air, and they can't be built by building blocks.
Although in addition to the Mage Association and the Academy, the Elven Art Research Institute should also have records of these high-level spells, you can find the relationship between Heim Collar and the Elven Forest, and then take into account the Elven Mage's consistent xenophobic attitude. It's hard to find spells from them. Spellbooks or scrolls that were left out were also a possibility, but Siegel performed a locating spell and discovered that all the high spell books were either in the Mage's Guild or in the hands of elves. It's right to think about it, you can use item search and positioning, and the Mage Association has it early. Those high-level spells or powerful magic items that are scattered outside have long been collected unless they are deliberately hidden.
Once deliberately hidden, even if Siegel wanted to find a needle in a haystack, he didn't have that much time to waste.
Human magic is learned from elves, and elves are learned from dragons. Siegel has a William who has a good relationship with the dragon, and he can even set up a game with the dragon to blackmail the dwarf king. But William shook his head firmly when he heard about it, saying that it was impossible. Siegel believed him, but always try.
The golden dragon took on a human form and lay comfortably in the largest cabin of the entire ship. Half of it is filled with food, and the other half is used to store food scraps. Every day, two supply ships catch up with the Unsinkable Boat, one of which is to deliver food to the dragon. When Siegel walked in, it was like stepping into the world's largest one-man restaurant.
"Welcome, young archmage. You're not here to slay dragons, are you?" said the golden dragon jokingly.
Siegel shook his head: "I know you have a good appetite and want to move when you're full." But it's better for you to go to William for this kind of thing, and I won't accompany you. I'm here for other things, please. ”
"Oh, I like to be asked of, especially mages. Jin Long dropped the roast chicken in his hand, spat out flames into the palms of his hands, burning away the residue and oil stains, and then sat up straight and said.
"Are there any high-level magic scrolls or magic books in the Dragons' collection? I'm willing to pay for the borrowing if it's reasonable and within my affordability. ”
"That's it?" Jin Long licked his lips and said suspiciously, "You just want to borrow a book to read, it's too easy!"
It shook its body, and then said to Siegel with a bright smile: "I can call the shots in this matter, Archmage Siegel, the result is impossible!" The golden dragon seemed to be very satisfied with his performance, clapping his hands and looking excited: "According to the agreement reached between the dragon and the mages, both sides must try their best to maintain a balance and not make any moves that threaten the implementation of the agreement. Cultivating more and stronger mages will obviously throw the protocol out of balance, so no dragon will agree to this!"
"Understood. Siegel nodded. He turned to leave, only to be stopped by the dragon.
"Now! If the color dragon is coming (black dragon, red dragon, etc.), it is estimated that a mouthful of spit will hit you, and our metal dragon (gold, silver, bronze dragon, etc.) is easier to speak, so I will explain it to you. Siegel, the dragon that promised to help you doesn't exist, unless you have a dragon of your own. But if you use the Dragonbinder Charm, then it means an all-out, undying war. As an archmage, you may have a way to survive, but the end of humanity as a race will be even worse than that of the snake people of the past. You know the end of the snake people, right?"
"Yes. Because he claimed to have the blood of a high-level dragon, he tried to ascend to the gods, seized the position of the dragon king, and then was exterminated. It is estimated that the population is no more than a few thousand now, and they are scattered and hiding in the underground world. ”
"Yes!" the golden dragon winked and smiled at Siegel, "So, your request is an inexplicable thing, unless you already have a dragon of your own." ”
After saying that, the golden dragon opened his mouth to send off the guests and drove Siegel out. However, the implication in his words is already very obvious, that is, to ask Siegel to find the dragon lady Modesty. But why did he imply that Modestie was the "dragon of the mages"? Remember that the original agreement was to give ownership of St. Thur's to Siegel, not the dragon?
Even if it was the ownership of Mount St. T. Tsir, in fact, Siegel gave it up. He used his Elemental Rune Circle and Energy Focused Lens to help the Dragon Maiden grow, in exchange for her helping to defend the city of Mir and protect his family. Living together for a long time, everyone has cultivated trust and affection similar to that of family, but in addition, there is no power to restrain the dragon girl, how can it be said that she is a "mage's dragon"?
However, it might be a good idea to try it out when you get back, or to invite Modisty to study advanced spells with you. After the dwarven meeting, Siegel was ready to do this. And after knowing that the Wall of Storms is the Storm of World Destruction, the advanced teleportation technique that can leave this world is also a way out for his family and himself.
Siegel pondered this possibility as he went to the cabin where the elves were resting. As he expected, the elf entertained him with a closed door. Anyway, they also gave a more formal explanation: "The elves who participated in the meeting this time can only deal with matters related to the dwarf war, and cannot decide the relationship with other aspects." So the elves were strictly ordered to shut their doors except for the dwarven king's meeting. Whoever it is, the elves can only say sorry and hope to contact again at a later date. ”
Asking for someone is like this, and you can't always fantasize about answering it in particular. Siegel paced slowly in the cabin, his mind contemplating his spell path and the future of the Federation. There was a sound of footsteps coming from the passage in front of him, and it was the guards at King Evan's side. He smiled when he saw Siegel, then straightened up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is looking for you. ”
"Okay, let's go. Siegel put aside his thoughts related to magic and adjusted his mood and followed: "Did Your Majesty say anything?"
"Nope. But he seemed to be in a good mood. (To be continued.) )
