After a whole night, by dawn in the morning, the Earth Elemental Warriors regrouped and stood majestically in front of everyone. Siegel stepped forward and struck the rocks that made it up with his knuckles. "It's exactly the same as last night, it does look completely reorganized. ”

"It's a miracle!" exclaimed the dwarven runemaster Taklin. They are like explorers who have discovered veins of adamantite gold, and their eyes are full of curiosity. As their large hands stroked the earth elemental, the power of the dwarven runes was unleashed, turning into silver glowing words floating on the surface of their bodies. "Master Siegel, you must have noticed that it is these runes that ensure the stability of the earth elemental body, allowing it to maintain a stable structure and not disintegrate due to excessive expansion. ”

Siegel nodded, chanting a spell that ordered the earth elemental to open his chest cavity and reveal the core. "You see, the summoning core is still attracting the gathering of earth elemental energy. However, when it is blocked by a thick layer of rock, the rate of absorption slows down, and eventually the absorption and consumption are balanced. ”

"Your Excellency, you're right!" the Dwarven Runemaster became respectful, "An Earth Elemental Warrior who can restore himself, this will change the times!"

Siegel shook his head and humbly said to the dwarves, "This technique is not that good, someone must be proficient in both magic and runes." But you also know that dwarves are very difficult to learn magic, and other races can't use runes, so you can't let every mage climb the path of climbing the top of Mora and get the blessing of the dwarven patron saint before casting this spell, right?"

The dwarves smiled, their beards shaking with their smiles, "Master Siegel, don't be too extravagant. Success is always gradual. It's never done overnight. Be patient. It's like a gem. It needs to be stored in the dirt for a long time before it finally shines brightly. ”

Siegel bowed, "You're right. ”

This new combination spell was named "Siegel's Elemental Guard" and became his first self-created magic. In order to make this spell more usable, Siegel and the Dwarven Runemaster are constantly making improvements. Eventually, they came up with a way to inlay the runes on top of the Earth Elemental Artifact, so that mages who didn't have rune abilities could cast the spell.

"This is a magic weapon that we dwarves can make. The rune masters smiled and said, "I think the price of 30,000 gold coins is a good start. ”

"Thirty thousand?" Siegel was stunned for a moment. "The cost of manufacturing this artifact is only ......"

The dwarf waved his hand and shook his head with a smile: "Although the earth element created is not powerful, the advantage is that it can be continuously regenerated. As long as there is the power of the earth around it, it can be reused. We once helped His Excellency Alexander, the Lion King of the Mage Federation, to make the Iron Golem. How precious it is to know a powerful warrior who can faithfully protect a mage. Siegel, you have to trust us in this, 30,000 gold coins is not expensive at all. ”

"Okay, I listen to you, Elint's friend is my friend. Siegel laughed too: "It's a good deal. ”

The dwarven runemaster Taklin raised an eyebrow, then asked, "What are we going to do next?"

Siegel touched his chin, he had been working in the spell laboratory for seven days straight, and he was a little tired physically and mentally, believing that the dwarves were the same. However, in his mind, this spell was still flawed. "This spell cannot be completed without the help of the Dwarven Rune Masters. It's not easy to get to where we are now. However, if the dwarves can't use this spell. Then I think everything is meaningless. Now let's hold on a little longer and see if we can think of a way for the runemasters to power this artifact. ”

The dwarves were moved by these words, so the four dwarven runemasters came up in turn to hug Siegel and then plunged into the study together. Since the young mage didn't have a deep grasp of runes, this time he was more of a helper. While the dwarven rune master draws the rune diagram, Siegel sits quietly on the side, lights his pipe, lets the scent of incense emanate from his nostrils, and thinks quietly and tries to absorb knowledge. They drew a number of parchment scrolls, each one a little better than the last, and Siegel continued to draw nourishment from their debates and enrich his mind.

Watch as the dwarves lie in front of the table, holding the parchment with their stubby fingers, like generals in war, fighting for every change in the rune. In the midst of flying spit and waving fists, "Siegel's Elemental Guard" is constantly improving and improving. Siegel suddenly understood a truth, true wisdom comes from the collision of ideas, blindly closing oneself will only regress. This is also the idea of the Mage Federation, and it is also the original intention of them to accept the Knox Association to join. However, Siegel still felt that the merger was too hasty, that the Guild was not a peaceful organization, and that their ambitions were likely to bring down the Mage Federation.

That's why before his death, Master Faranise wanted to set up a magic laboratory in Heimhill to preserve the results of the Mage's Guild.

Just as he was thinking about it, the curtain of the tent was opened, and I didn't know if it was the morning sun or the setting sun outside, and the harsh light shone almost flat into the smoky inside of the tent. Siegel thought about the direction of the curtain and understood that it was the rising sun in the east—another full night's work.

His knightly retinue Moll walked in, breakfast on a silver platter. Siegel couldn't remember what he had eaten yesterday, and he felt hungry when he saw the ham omelette, grilled chicken, and oatmeal bread that he remembered on his plate. Poor Mohr staggered from the smoke, his eyes were still welling with tears, and before he could find where his lord was, Siegel had waved his wand and moved the food on his plate to the table in front of him.

"Moore, don't you have anything to drink?" Siegel chewed on his breakfast, only to feel his mouth dry: "Go, bring me some wine." ”

"My lord," Mohr pressed his plate to his chest as if it were a shield, "Fei ...... Mr. Fezak invites you to the castle site, there are important things to ...... It's up to you to decide. ”

"Oh, that's what he said?" said Siegel, speeding up his meal. Don't wait for any red wine. Fezak definitely has something important. Otherwise, it won't bother Siegel who is learning magic. That's when he found out. His own beard was already half a finger long, and the greasy roast chicken and pieces of fried eggs stuck to it.

It dawned on him and asked, "How long have I been in the tent and haven't been out?"

"It's been half a month, my lord. Moore whispered, "Since you last created that earth giant, the moon has turned from a cripple to a round one. ”

"Yohe, it seems that you have read a lot of books recently, including the Pan-Continental Travelogue, right? You can already use the sentences in it, and you have made a lot of progress. Siegel smiled and said, "You go and tell Fezak." I'll go to the castle site and wait for him. By the way, I went to Janet again and asked her for a good can of light wine, I really need to moisten my throat. ”

Moore nodded, and ran out on his legs. Siegel hurriedly finished his food, then planted a magic flame in his palm and rested his beard.

Focusing on the study of magic, he forgot the flow of time, and when he looked at the outside world with his eyes again, he was stunned by their changes. The castle has taken shape, and the outer walls and gates have been erected to demarcate the building's footprint. Within the city walls. The foundations have been dug up, and the "Earth Elemental of Siegel" is under the command of Raven. Help the Dwarven Craftsman level the ground. On the other side of the site, you can see smoke-smoking brickyards and spark-splattering blacksmiths. Only then did Siegel feel a sound in his ears: the whirring bellows, the clanging hammers, the rumbling piles. He stretched his limbs and walked briskly towards his castle.

"Good morning, my lord!" greeted him from time to time, and Siegel smiled back. Judging from the appearance of the people, they have been doing well lately, and the top of Mora is constantly transporting food, so that all those who work hard can have enough to eat. Even the orcs who exert the most effort each day are seeing them get stronger, and the muscles in their arms swell faster than bread with yeast.

Siegel's castle is a simple rectangle, and the enclosure will extend from the two corner towers of the main castle, enclosing the future stables, armor shops, wells, and barracks. If there is a need in the future, the outer wall can be continued and the inner and outer walls can be connected by a passage bridge over the city for the purpose of mobilizing troops. There was an open space about thirty meters square in the courtyard of the castle, and by the time the main body of the castle was almost completed, Siegel was ready to build his magic laboratory here. Now only the construction of the underground part is carried out, and the planned storage rooms, cells and drainage system will be completed first.

Siegel whistled, and Baron the raven flew back with joy, perched on the back of his hand. The bird has gotten bigger and smarter. Like Siegel, he can give orders to summoned earth elementals. So there was a strange sight on the construction site of dwarves talking to birds, and birds talking to the dirt. Siegel and Raven looked at each other for a moment, and they knew what was important about the territory during this time, though only the part of the pet knew.

The one-eyed father soon arrived, and he carried several scrolls under his arm, and carried the belt of his gray robe across the muddy water. "My lord, I'm sorry to call you out, but there are some things you need to decide. ”

"I'm sorry, it's my own lack of consideration. Siegel gestured to the raven, "If you're in a hurry in the future, tell my pet." The information it sends to me through the psychic link doesn't interfere with my magic experiments, so it's safe to tell me as soon as possible, so I don't delay the territory. ”

Fezak looked at the big black bird with his only remaining eye, then nodded and said, "This bird is strangely smart, and it will be much more convenient in the future." Lord Lord, for the sake of his fourth marriage, Viscount Uther of Xiling City held a knight tournament in the entire south, and invited lords from all over the country to participate in it. The invitation has been sent, how do you reply to him?"

"Let's just say that I'm too busy with territory affairs to attend. Siegel immediately replied, "Let Manna or Hum go to the jousting tournament as a knight of allegiance under my name." However, the rejection letter should be written tactfully and politely. Anything else?"

"We found a trail of bandits, who called themselves the Free Knights. Fezak said: "Denis and Ding Bao Turan were abducted by them. (To be continued......)
