"It's a good feeling to see the light of day again. Rhett the golem stretched hard, the metal grinding against the mud and stone making a screeching noise. Twenty Mozuka sobbed quietly, yellow-brown oil pouring from its eye sockets.

"Thank you, Lord Siegel, and the Archmage. Rhett the Golem bowed, and then said, "That lich is very powerful, and I lost consciousness in the blink of an eye, and when I opened my eyes again, it was now." ”

William smiled, and then said to Siegel, "You really have a lot of strange people here, and such a rare existence as the Golem Priest can also let you encounter it." I'll just have two free-form scrolls, one for use and one for you. Don't say anything else, you quickly learn to give it back to me. ”

"Don't talk about it yet, at most I'll give you a few more photos. Siegel turned to Red and said, "Don't be so impulsive next time, the Lich's lifebox is not an ordinary magic item, don't move it without all preparation." But don't worry about the fleeing lich, I can hold his lifebox and prevent him from causing harm. If you try the prophecy again, try to find the exact location of the volcano that exploded underground, I've been worried about it. ”

"Okay, I'll try. Red waved goodbye to the two archmages, dragging Erdu, who was still draining the oil, back to the Nameless Temple.

"Siegel, the Lich is different from the Golem, and sooner or later something is going to go wrong. And are you mentally ill enough to carry the lich's life box with you, aren't you afraid that he will subtly influence you and turn you into a puppet of the undead?"

"What then, to watch Alexander die?"

"What? you!" William was surprised, and quickly lowered his voice: "That lich is the Lion King? he is not dead? No wonder he can imprison the Golem so easily." I've been wondering where you got into such a powerful undead!"

"When have I ever caused trouble. It's all trouble, come to me!" Siegel snorted coldly: "The Knox Guild, the Orcs, the Elves." Now it's dwarves and goblins again. Can't we have a few years of peace?"

"The farther you look and the more broad-minded you are, the more you have. Farmers who do not leave the village work at sunrise and rest at sunset, and may not encounter a war in their lifetime. But if you look at the multiverse, aren't you all at war every day?"

"I really can't find any reason to refute that. Siegel shook his head and reached out to shake his hand with Archmage William, "It's going to be hard for you to run around again, to find those three hidden locations." ”

"It's like you like mining. I've never had a hard time flying around looking for things. William smiled and said, "I have a share of what you have mined, and the source of funds for my magic experiments in the future will fall on you." ”

"Okay, no problem. But you have to be correct, I really don't like mining. ”

"I don't believe it, you're a famous civil pit lord!" William laughed, spread his dragon wings, and flew into the sky with a snort.

The forbidden circle of the city wall mountain range has finally been closed, and with the help of teleportation, he has been able to travel back and forth to both sides of the city wall mountain range. Archmage William told Siegel the location of several vein clusters in the Wild West, and left a signpost that could teleport the location. Siegel was in charge of mining the mines and left 10% of the net profits to Archmage William as a reward.

Gold and silver are indispensable monetary materials for ordinary people. But for mages, they are just spellcasting and alchemy materials. Mining more gold mines will only increase the purchasing power of Heim Collar, but will not allow for a real increase in magic materials. So only things like alchemy, runestone, and mythril are the mage's favorites.

Of course, there are also large quantities of smelting metals, iron, aluminum, lead and tin.

This is a mining method that has never appeared in the history of the entire continent, and the mine is 7,000 kilometers away from the smelting base. Siegel started a large number of smelting workshops in the southern part of Mir City, near the Great Rift Valley, all of which used road markers to guide the elemental power of the Mir Energy Core to the past, and used a large number of advanced creation arrays to join the smelting process, and directly made blanks by assembly lines. The remaining slag and the like can also be thrown directly into the rift, and even the effort of burying it is saved. Together with the spellmaster Verwood, he set up an improved long-lasting portal in the smelting base, ensuring twenty hours of uninterrupted teleportation to the mine every day.

Just in case, the twenty hours are divided, with half an hour of rest every two hours during the day and half of the rest at night. In this way, if there is an unexpected situation, such as an attack by a beast in the wilderness, the Heim Collar can react immediately, open the portal, and continuously invest troops.

As for the excavations, despite the abundance and well-being of the Rock Village over the years, and the number of orcs in Boulder Village has more than tripled, it will take some time for the new generation to grow, and Siegel does not want to equate the orcs with the miners. He would only send a few experienced people over with only one mission, to manage the minion golems and elemental miner brigades that were used to do the work.

"The first materials are all prioritized for the creation of minion golems, increasing the number of workers so that both the mine and the smelter can work faster and faster. And the minion golem doesn't need to eat, doesn't get sick, doesn't complain, and can work around the clock. When I have plenty of raw materials, they are much better than using miners. Siegel told Wilwood: "I've always had the idea that after a while, I probably won't need a miner who just works hard. But there will be a shortage of people who can know the direction of the ore veins and know how to build mines and organize production. ”

"And the manpower to make golems will become more and more insufficient. Together, Wilwood and Siegel checked the magic circle on the ground, looking for each other's mistakes to avoid mistakes. "Fortunately, the plan for your mage academy is going well, and some of the apprentices have been able to do simple tasks, and as they gain experience, they will be able to handle the entire process of golem making. The standardization and modularity you came up with is good, and the pipeline is powerful enough to get the hang of it quickly for these new mages. But if you always follow the rules like this, it is difficult to appear a master-type character. Magic is ultimately art. And not technology. ”

"You're right. Be vigilant about this at all times. Don't be an authoritative and non-obsessive guy, don't put such a mage in the academy. Siegel used chalk to draw what seemed to be a mistake on the ground. He will not revise it directly, but give it to Wilwood. Similarly, the place found by Wilwood was returned to Siegel. This will be the case with multi-person circles, although they help each other to check, but don't help each other to modify them. It's okay to ask your own questions, sometimes things that are different from the standard are not necessarily mistakes, and finger-pointing is never welcome.

"What's the recent lesson. Especially when it comes to prophecy spells. Siegel asked suddenly.

"Did you ask the apprentice for you?" Vywood shook his head, "Although that kid has commendable courage, he really isn't the material of a practitioner. Despite his hard work, his sense of magic is very poor. ”

"I'm going to send him to the school city to develop in the direction of a magical advisor, at least that young man is very attentive to his studies. Siegel said, "No, I'm not asking him, I'm going to go to the class." ”

Wilwood froze for a moment, straightened up, and stared straight at Siegel. "All right, Your Excellency the Archmage. I admire you more and more. If you can lower your body and listen to the class, then the other mages will have nothing to worry about. Everyone learns together. Teachers and classmates. Not only does it make the learning atmosphere more harmonious, but it also avoids the emergence of arrogant masters!How did you come up with this idea?"

"You think too much, don't you? I didn't have a serious study except for attending a beginner's salon and being taught by Master Faranis for five days. Basically, I didn't enjoy any benefits, so I became an archmage, and I have to worry about the Federation, I'm a loss, okay?" Siegel said with a smile: "Besides, I do have a lot of things I haven't figured out, I just want to go to the class." ”

"Say whatever you want, I'm with you anyway. There aren't many mages I can admire, and you're the only one and the only one younger than me. Verwood shook his head, then continued to inspect the magic circle on the ground. He said casually, "Lord Siegel, have you noticed that you have become younger lately, and you are no longer keeping a straight face?"

Because Janet is back, the mood will be much better than in the past. Siegel knew it, but there was no need to share it with Wilwood.

The location of the mine that Archmage William found for Siegel was deep in the wilderness, a mountain range surrounded by a large swamp, making it an island-like environment. It's a difficult place to get to without portals, let alone dig mines. Countless monsters that survive in swampy environments, such as giant crocodile lizards, killer lotus, snake lizards, tree rope demons, and naga, have carved out their territory outside the Lonely Island Mountains.

The road up the mountain from the swamp is impassable, but the sky is clear. Many giant birds use this mountain range as a rare resting place, and even make nests and breed on the mountain. Sometimes the creatures of the swamp will climb up and eat the birds and beasts of the area for food, flesh and eggs. However, there are also some powerful monsters on the mountain, such as a group of winged lion monsters, a few colonies of Roc birds, and a number of feathered snakes, which sometimes go to the swamps to feed.

When Siegel set foot on the land with teleportation, it happened to be next to the nest of the three birds. He was immediately attacked by the owner of the place.

The bird resembles a giant eagle, and when he spreads his wings covered with golden feathers, it is close to forty meters wide. Three birds swooped down from the sky to attack, grabbing at the top of Siegel's head with their powerful claws. Although the two-handed and two-legged thing in front of them is not enough to eat in one bite, if you dare to get close to their lair, there is only a dead end.

The best tactic is to stealth first and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, which is safer and more efficient. But in the world of beasts, it's important to make a first impression on the creatures around you. Siegel raised his finger, and three colored thunderbolts shot out from his fingertips, piercing through Peng Bird's body. The power of the four-veined divine arrows exploded from their bodies, and flesh and skin fell from the sky with feathers wrapped in the sky. In just one moment, the three Peng birds fell to the ground and screamed twice before they were silent.

Many wild beasts flew over the mountain peaks, and in addition to the large flocks of Pengbirds trying to take revenge, there were also soaring lion beasts and feathered serpents watching the battle. In the swamp, those creatures with keen vision are also watching, thinking for a moment to find an opportunity to go to the battlefield to eat corpses. Three birds are a good meal, even if you need to share it with others.

Siegel took a deep breath and smiled. There are no people within a thousand miles, and it's a great place to test spells!(To be continued.) )
