The magic circle of Mir City sounded an alarm, the runes on the walls flashed, and the elemental energy of the entire territory suddenly stagnated, and then concentrated towards the energy focusing lens. Except for Siegel with the rune core, Janet with the teleportation headdress, and Modesti with the lollipop on all the other people in the realm, the use of teleportation spells by everyone else in the realm will cause an alarm from the magic circle.

Siegel had expected the elves to come on horseback - after all, the distance between the two was only a few kilometers - but he didn't expect him to use teleportation. He grabbed the core of the rune and used telepathy to temporarily halt the brewing magical counterattack. Originally, a large number of elements would have been converging towards the teleportation location—for example, by forcibly summoning elementals, and changing elemental types quickly and uninterruptedly, resulting in an elemental convergence that never really stops—could have severely disrupted the stability of the spell, and even caused the teleporter to get lost in the transition plane of the teleportation spell.

The energy lens calmed down, and a silver-white pillar of light fell from the sky, and the figure of the elven old mage appeared in front of Siegel. It seems that only one has made it to Myr, and the other two are still in Leah's camp.

Only then could Siegel take a closer look at the elven mage. The years have left too many traces on him, and the deep wrinkles seem to hide the past history. His hair and eyebrows were completely white, with only a slight silver sheen at the roots. Loose skin and wrinkled eye lines hide those deep eyes, leaving only a thin slit to look around. The elven mage hunched over and rested most of his body weight on a waist-high staff. Coincidentally, it was also a defensive staff.

"Take the liberty of excuse me, Lord Siegel Squid, Lord Baron, Mr. Mage. The elven old man introduced himself like this: "I am Rikapa Armanod. The Academy of Arts ...... he paused. A mischievous smile was revealed. Then he said, "I'm an archmage, very strong, at least you can't beat me now." ”

Siegel was about to salute when he heard this.

"My time is precious, so I won't talk nonsense with you. Archmage Rekapa cleared his throat and looked at the staff in Siegel's hand. If you read it right, this is the Mage Guild's defensive staff?" He hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand and said, "The detailed design of the Red Magic Tower Emotional Control Circle of the Knox Guild. ”

Siegel shook his head. "I've seen the blueprints for the one at Fort Hub, but I'm in a hurry to copy it completely. The sketch has been given to you elves. ”

"Then you come with me and crack this spell effect together. As he spoke, he came to Rasigh's wrist.

At that moment, the light of the teleportation came back on, and only the roar of a dragon could be heard inside. The strong dragon power swept through the entire tower like a real storm. Siegel was shocked without resistance, his body could not move, and even his thoughts were momentarily stagnant. The archmage's body flickered with light, and the oval circle of light dissipated layer after layer. But he only stumbled a step. Then he held on to his cane, still standing firm.

Modisty stepped out of the teleportation. Her arms and feet had been dragonized, and her sharp claws shone with energy-gathering light. The flames formed by the four elements streaked through the air, leaving behind colorful afterimages. However, if you scratch it with this claw, most of the magic shields will collapse.

"What a magic dragon. The Elven Archmage said. He gripped his defensive staff tightly, but he still had a kind smile.

"Little girl......" He thought about it, and felt that he couldn't judge who was older from his appearance, so he pretended to cough twice and covered up the past in embarrassment. "I'm Rikapa Amanod, and I'm here with permission, not an intruder. ”

Fortunately, this time he didn't say anything like "I'm an archmage, I'm very strong, you can't beat me".

Modisty didn't let her guard down, and there was a glint in her heterochromatic pupils. When the magic alarm sounded just now, she immediately felt a strong magic fluctuation keenly. After settling Janet and Isaac, relying on the energy connection with the magic array, he determined the location of the intruders and immediately teleported over.

Siegel finally regained consciousness and immediately adjusted the magical elemental power within the group. But he couldn't move his body, so he couldn't cast spells. It can only rely on the ups and downs of magical energy to attract the attention of the dragon maiden.

Modisty stared fiercely at the elven archmage and slowly moved to Siegel's side. She patted gently with her paws to remove the deterrent effect on him. Siegel finally regains control of his body.

"This guy is not easy to deal with. The dragon girl said, "It will be very time-consuming and laborious, and you have to compensate me." ”

"Don't fight yet, you'll tear up the Heim Collar. Siegel hurriedly said. For dragons, time-consuming and laborious means quite long battles, which can be measured in months. When dragons find that they can't take down a mage anytime soon, they resort to tug-of-war, guerrilla, sneak attacks, and peripheral harassment. Dragons can sleep for a hundred years or not for a hundred years. Mages of other races don't have such skills.

Especially in the face of Modesty, her teleportation skills are no worse than those of ordinary mages, and it is basically impossible to distance herself under her.

Siegel gently shook Modesty's shoulder, allowing her to relax, and then said to the elf, "There are still many things going on in the territory, and there are troops besieging me outside the walls. As a local lord, I can't leave with you. ”

Rikapa's cane tapped lightly on the ground, and several shallow craters suddenly appeared in the hard rune tower. In the vision of the vision, a large number of elements were gathered at the tip of the defensive staff, which was what created such an effect. Siegel knew that the archmage in front of him was nine times out of ten specialized in the plastic energy system, and he had great restraint on the elemental power of dragons.

"If I'm going to get you away, I'm going to make it. The elf said, "The easiest way is to threaten that if you don't go with me, a few of my old friends will spell a spell on Heim Territory, and unless you have several more dragons like this, you can't stop it." Do you think I'm right?"

Siegel nodded and replied, "You elves have such abilities, but you can't force me to cooperate with you. ”

"We can do something to your mind. ”

The lord smiled and shook his head: "Your mind control spells should not be as good as those of Knox, otherwise you wouldn't have come to me to cooperate." I've figured out how to deal with the crimson spire's circle. I know that the common will be good at thought manipulation. How can you not take precautions early, even if your mana is strong. But I can also destroy what you want before you succeed. Relying on threats never yields the best results. ”

"According to your Mage Federation, everything needs to be exchanged?"

"That's the motto of the Mage Guild. ”

"It doesn't matter, Siegel, I'm an old bone, and I don't have any plans to fight the dragon right now, so I won't take you away. The elven mage said, "Why don't we put the research team in Myr City?"

It's definitely a worse idea, Siegel thought. In his own territory, he will study how to deal with the spell organization to which he belongs, and Siegel will not be able to take off the hat of "traitor" in the future. Knox will be enemies together. But it is now part of the Mage's Federation. The elves are at war with humans, as evidenced by the besieging army. Although many lords in various places have reached an agreement with the elves in exchange for a certain degree of peace, after all, it is all done in secret and will never be left in the sun.

It's like the rules of the game between the human aristocracy, everyone obeys and maintains order together on the surface, and in this game there is only the difference between smart people and fools.

"If all the elven mages come, my Heim territory will be effectively occupied. Siegel shook his head, "Unless the war is over and the elves end their occupation of Waterdeep and Heim Territory." Otherwise, there is nothing to talk about. ”

"Why add Waterdeep?"

Siegel replied, "I am the pioneer knight of Waterdeep, the Baron. ”

Recapa slapped his thigh. It seems like it just came to mind. "It doesn't work, it doesn't work either. Siegel, would you like to tell me first, is there any further information on the Crimson Spire?"

Siegel was just about to shake his head and obfuscate the matter when he heard a voice floating in the air. "He has, and the Mage Guild is willing to help in this matter. ”

The virtual image projection of the half-elf mage Edith appeared in mid-air, respectfully saluted Archmage Rikapa, and then said: "Dear Sage Archmage, I have received the latest news that the Knox Guild has been listed as an extremely dangerous organization by the Mage Association, and I request that the Mage Federation immediately strip it and arrest it. ”

"Again?" Rikapa snorted, his staff paused on the ground, "You mean to take Siegel's place and let him go to our elves?"

"Of course not, we respect the freedom and rights of every mage. Edith was not fooled, and his tone was still very respectful. "In order to protect Siegel's interests, the elf art ...... If the research institute invites him, the Mage Association, as his guarantee, will also send people to participate. ”

"Send whom, you?"

Edith, the half-elf, had a smile on his face, and Siegel had never seen him so happy. "Your Excellency, it's me. ”

"You got your wish!" Rickappa shook his head, clearly dissatisfied. "The Mage Guild is really calculating, and it was only at this time that the Knox Association was declared an evil organization. ”

"The guild is not like the elves, there is a research institute in the New World, and it is not surprising that the intelligence lags. Not to mention the Knox Reunion, even the news of the War Ancient Tree was only known long after the incident. Edith looked humble, but his words were unceremonious. "The Mage Guild has always wanted to work with elves to go hand in hand on the path of magical research. But I have not been able to reach an agreement, so I can only take special measures, and I will be in charge of Siegel-related matters to protect his mage's interests. ”

"I didn't expect it, Mir City is really hidden. Rikapa said, "The magic dragons and the mage guild have gathered here, waiting for the elves to come to the door. It seems that something has gone wrong with our strategy, and you have caught a flaw. ”

At this time, Siegel did not dare to say anything. From these three words, there must be a very "wonderful" story between the Mage Guild and the Elven Art Academy, in which there are many struggles and confrontations, and there should also be a history between Edith and Rikapa that is not known to him. Siegel was tempted to say that he didn't know about it, that he was innocently caught up in the maelstrom, but the best way to deal with it at the moment was to pretend to be deaf and dumb, with a serious expression on his face.

"In that case, I won't bother much," Ricapa said, "and say hello to Master Riel on my behalf." (To be continued.) )
