If politics and magic were to be compared, Siegel would not hesitate to choose the latter. He sits by the fireplace, baking his hands, keeping it soft and flexible. The light of the four elements flickered in turn, causing the fireplace to jump continuously, as if there was life.

"The matter in the Kingdom of Stars is in an uproar, and even the New World has been affected. If it weren't for the fact that something would happen to the greatest kingdom of mankind, the elves would dare to launch a war of conquest in the New World? I remember that you are the one who has the support of the school city and the Temple of Dawn, what does he have?"

Count Todd ignored Siegel's teasing, still maintaining the demeanor of an elder. He stroked his short beard and watched every movement of the mage lord.

Except for the teleportation array across the ocean, there is only one way for sea ships to pass through two continents. The Starry Crown rules the Old Continent, what can Evan do here? Can he borrow soldiers and horses and bring them back to the Starry Kingdom?

It is because of this that Siegel is suspicious of Count Todd's motives. As things stand, there is much more to be malicious than to be good.

"Take 10,000 steps back, and if I run into Evan, I'll tell him about the pardon. Siegel said without being soft or hard: "I wonder what other instructions His Majesty has?"

"It's gone. His Majesty the King believes in the loyalty and character of the knights, who will reward the good and punish the bad, so that the New World will be united and peaceful. Count Todd said, "As one of the great territories of the New World, does the Heim Territory need an advisor from the Academy?"

"Can I pick my own? I have to find someone with better spellcasting ability than me. Siegel laughed, "It's better to send an archmage." ”

"There are no archmages in the school city except for Master Liel. The Count stood up, patted the folds of his trousers, and said in a send-off tone, "Before leaving, there is a notice here. It was the elected queen. ”

Siegel took it, looked twice, and received it in his sleeve. From the national beauty pageant, Aaron's body and bones can stand it, and it seems that the great nobles have set their sights on making heirs, ready to squeeze the last trace of blood out of the Star Kingdom. Evan is in a precarious situation, and Siegel now wants him to come to Myr.

As for the beauty pageant. He was going to go out and burn it - what a waste of time, a waste of money.

"Let's go, there's nothing to do in front of you. Siegel said to Count Todd, "Don't bother the mages of the school city to send me." Teleport once, and I'll be familiar with the road. Remember to tell those lords that I welcome, support, and negotiate anything with the elves, but don't try to touch the idea of the Heim Lord. ”

Count Todd nodded, watched Siegel step into the spatial vortex, and left the reception room. He threw the cup into the fireplace, watched it shatter, and sat down to think about it.

The elven camp outside of Myr has been abandoned. After retreating more than fifty miles to the east, they re-encamped. It was on the edge of the Great Rift Valley, the original junction between the Shield River and the Ghost Mist Swamp. The Shield River rushes into the dark underground tunnels without looking back, and no one knows where it ends up.

The terrain here is complicated, and there are not many routes left for cavalry to charge, and only need to build fortifications to defend. Moreover, there are few people here, and most of them are still natural, so the strength of the druids can be enhanced. They incarnate as animals. Layers of defense lines were arranged, patrolling day and night. It's almost impossible to raid.

However, Siegel was not hot-headed in the first place. Sneak attacks and raids were already a matter of great luck, and he wouldn't approve any fights unless they were hard hit.

"I went around the front a few times and didn't find any opportunities. Manna said, "My lord, the elves have made a gesture that they want us to surround him, but we can't be fooled - the Heim Territory does not have enough troops to encircle him in the field. ”

"Just keep it as it is. If the elves come out. It is still dominated by harassment. Siegel had an idea, so he said, "Pay attention to the total strength of the elves, and be careful at all times." The seeds we have sown in the Ghost Mist Swamp are rising very well, and it is estimated that they will be harvested soon. The elves are likely to use it as bait to try to wipe out our maneuvering forces. If something like this happens. You can do without food and harvest, and don't get entangled with the elves, so as not to lose control of the situation and develop into a field duel. ”

"It's not that I don't dare to fight a decisive battle, but even if I win, Heim will suffer heavy losses. Siegel said: "The situation in Mir City is that there is more defense and not enough offense. None of the masters in the territory will help us fight in the wilderness. ”

"It's good to be able to survive the war. Manna said, "My parents and family died in the war. Fighting between lords disrupted the tranquility of the countryside, and the number of knights and lords' guards plummeted, making patrols impossible to guarantee, leading to banditry. If it weren't for my young age and thin body, I would have been killed. ”

Siegel nodded: "Therefore, it is better to win later and ugly, but also to maintain sufficient military strength to maintain the order after that." He paused, then said, "Is there any news of Elf Leah?"

"I only know that she is still commanding the army, but I don't know how injured she is. Manna smiled, "Lord, have you been merciful?"

"It's good to know, don't talk nonsense. Siegel let the four elements dance between his fingers, and said with a serious expression, "You know, I'm amazing!"

"As an aside, the news I got from the caravan that some territories posted notices that the king of the Star Kingdom is ready to choose a woman to enter the palace among the people, and it is possible to be the queen, is this true?"

"The notice is true, but I accidentally lost the one I gave me. There is still a war, and these things will be talked about until there is peace, if they remember to give me a proclamation. ”

"Understood, I'll tell the hot-headed knights to calm down and don't send their daughters out. ”

"Mana, when I officially become an earl, you will be a viscount, and you will have a castle. But I don't see anyone pursuing you, why is that?"

"They don't have the guts. Manna blinked and lied, "I've been reprimanding them all day, I'm afraid I'm the same person in their minds as the orc Humke? Hum Ke is not married now, so it's not nice to say it." Orcs can have a short lifespan. ”

Siegel pinched his chin and was diverted from his target. "yes, that's something to be aware of. He's a lord, too!"

The female knight took the opportunity to retire, and by the way, she said a few sorry words to Hum Ke in her heart.

Naturally, there are people who pursue her, including knights, knights, or people who think they are handsome and powerful. Siegel was also a halfway monk in terms of aristocratic knowledge, so he naturally didn't know how groundbreaking his knightesses and half-orc knights were. Although there is no explicit provision that this is not feasible. And according to the lord's absolute management of his own territory, others can't say anything, but it is extremely rare for a woman to become a knight and a lord.

Many people are trying to pursue Mana, hoping to rise to the sky and become a powerful nobleman with a territory. But no one could touch her heart. The female knight ruthlessly told all the suitors to get out, and even had the orc guards break the hands and feet of several people. After such a tough attitude spread, no one dared to rush to her to express their hearts in front of her.

There is a lot of speculation as to why Manna is like this, and most of them are faintly pointing to Siegel. Many people sighed at Mana. Think this is a waste of great titles and resources. Fortunately, no one dared to reveal this matter to Siegel, otherwise Mana would have turned from shame to anger and then hunted down.

As for why Hum Ke has never been married...... No one knows about this.

It's rare that the rest of the day doesn't have to deal with things related to war, politics, and territory, and Siegel also put down the magic book for the time being to take care of his son. Theoretically, he stayed with his son, but in the form of a raven. Now Baron the raven is the child's most faithful babysitter, and will always be with him.

Siegel picked up the child. Take him for a walk in the city of Myr. Originally, there was a garden behind the castle, but it was carved out as a vegetable patch during the war. For the little ones. Whether it's a garden or a vegetable patch, the green leaves and yellow soil are his favorite toys. It was in the mud that Isaac began to learn to crawl.

The lord himself went into battle to demonstrate what a standard crawl looks like, but Isaac just laughed and still twisted forward in a lizard stance. In desperation, Siegel patted the dirt on his body and got up from the ground. Let him go.

Sitting leisurely in a rocking chair conjured with a spell, quietly watching your child. The immature little hands scratched at the dirt, pulling the rough sweet potato vines hard, as if they were giants who could pull up the earth.

Siegel sat quietly by the vegetable patch, enjoying the warmth of the summer breeze. Feel the happiness that the river of time slowly flows through and precipitates. Whatever Isaac's needs: thirsty, hungry, or tired, all he had to do was shake his fingers, and there would be magic or servants to solve them.

A relaxed mind leads to better meditation and can also promote the advancement of magical abilities. The four elements in Siegel's hands became more fluid, and even water and fire could be harmoniously entangled. Siegel had a feeling that if he could complete the mutual transformation of the four elements, he would be able to fundamentally change the way he cast spells, greatly increasing his speed and efficiency. Perhaps in addition to fireballs, he can also cast acid balls, lightning balls, or ice balls.

In addition to these particularly obvious elemental spells, other spells are also affected. The illusion mostly uses water and air, and the changes are earth and water. Spells built on top of the four elements can be turned into a single source of energy, just like the plasma system of Nakos.

Elementals are both helpful and burdensome, too many elements can cause the explosion of magic items, damage the caster's body, and destroy the effects of various spell enchantments. The Elven Elemental Surge is a powerful spell that is almost irresistible. But Siegel vaguely felt that his direction of elemental transformation and great unification could restrain the surging of elements.

Alexander, the Lion King, also gave him another revelation: the direct generation of elemental energy from matter. In this way, the elves create the effect of an instantaneous mass gathering of elements, thus creating the crest of a surge. This method is intense and dangerous, but if you can find a way to channel and control it, you can apply it to the energy focusing lens to form a complete circle pattern.

But all of this has to be tested. (To be continued.) )
