"Although I have achieved my goal, I still can't bear to anger Evan like this. Siegel said to Mage Shelley as he manipulated the invisible servants to pack up their things.

"What's the point of staying, the Mage Guild is almost bullying you on the nose. Mage Shelley also summoned several skeletons to help, and together they carried the test bench under the stargazing tower. Many of these age-old test equipment were so good that Master Shelley wanted to move them - no one tried to stop them anyway.

"Back in the Heim Territory and Federation, there will be enough buffer space between you and the King, and everything will be negotiable. Otherwise, like now, face to face with an order, do you obey it, or do you have a hard top?"

Siegel nodded, he still agreed with Master Shelley's words. Leaving is the best solution, but it's not necessarily the safest. Siegel had a concern, a concern from the Mage Guild. The Mage Guild did not say a word about the Myr Energy Core, but simply mentioned the magic ship and the teleportation array, the meaning of which was self-evident - that is, Siegel himself should figure out the hidden truth, and then decide for himself how to say it to His Majesty. This plan will definitely be sent to Siegel, and the Mage Guild and Liel must know this. They certainly didn't expect Siegel to be so blind that they couldn't see the oddity, so it's very likely that they'd have thought of his current response as well.

In other words, their desire to leave the royal city may have been part of their plan. But what is the purpose of putting the whole thing together, using the things of Sir Bill and the Orthodox Society to lure yourself around, and then using it to force yourself away? Siegel couldn't be reassured.

"Your Excellency. You're going to be a lord when you go back this time, aren't you?" He cautiously asked, "Can I ask you for something?" I want to take Vanessa with me on my way back to Heim. ”

"Vanessa, who?" Siegel felt a thunderbolt in his mind, and some inspiration seemed to appear: "Humm, there's nothing wrong with women's affairs, but what was that sentence you said earlier?"

"Please?" the orc was visibly stunned.

"Go further!"

"Be a lord?" Hum scratched the back of his head, then said, "That's what Vanessa said, and she said that I should be a lord too." Manage your territory. ”

Siegel slammed his head against Humm's forehead with a "bang". It was he who expressed his excitement with the etiquette of an orc. "It's my greatest luck to have you here, and I can figure out what was going on. With that, I'll give you a word of advice, any woman who lets you manage the territory instead of being free and happy will eventually annoy you. By the way, you guys go ahead and pack up, I'm going to the library. ”

The royal library was not far from where Siegel lived, and in a few minutes he came to the large iron-clad wooden door. The servant, who was wiping the nails, cried and cried, "Lord Marquis, the laboratory is useless. You can move. But the Royal Library can't be moved! we're going to lose our heads!"

"I'm not here to move books, I'm here to check the information. "Siegel went straight to the history books of the Starry Kingdom. Then start reading with specific chapters.

There is a lot of this that you can't see from the outside, especially when it comes to the supreme ruler of the kingdom, as well as the secrets about policies, nobles, and rebellious lords. The information that Siegel is looking for is related to the previous mage lord, how he rose to prominence, and why he embarked on the path of raising the banner and rebelling.

Whether it is folk theory or the records of the Mage Federation, he is a madman, hot-headed and wants the kingdom to do what he wants. Most of those crazy and unrealistic thoughts come from the devil's demagoguery, so they will lead to purgatory on earth and ruins in the kingdom. The wise king rejected his proposal and only allowed him to experiment in his own domain. But this man is not greedy enough, paranoid about wanting to change the world, believing that his territory is not enough to show the effect, so he begins to attack his neighbors.

That's how the war was caused. Later, with the help of the undead army, the mage lord won many battles, and his enemies all surrendered. With the intervention and help of the Temple of Dawn, the king's army finally reversed the disadvantage of facing the sea of undead on the battlefield and stood firm step by step until it began to fight back.

The counterattack was ferocious and ruthless, and even the mage lord's original territory was captured, and his magic tower was torn down to ruins. Seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, the Mage Lord left his army behind and sought refuge in the Temple of Magic and Knowledge, resolutely becoming a member of the Mage Guild.

The king wanted the lord's head to be brought to justice, but the Mage Guild resisted the king's orders in the name of protecting the mage. At this point, the association was expelled from the Star King City, and the position of the royal mage's advisor was also canceled, and the Temple of Dawn took advantage of the void to enter. After more than 100 years, as the school gradually matured and grew, the Mage Association returned to the political circle in this new form.

Ever since the Mage Guild decided to delay its decision to tear up the agreement with the Federation and block spells and magical knowledge, Siegel knew that the Guild was still a utilitarian political organization. Would it simply give up its close relationship with the royal family for the promise of "protection and assistance to all mages"?

There must be something inside to this. By consulting the information of the Starry Royal Family, Siegel saw the other side of the matter. The rebellious mage lord Count Hood is a self-taught, noble mage who specializes in necromantic spells and soul summoning. He learned these spells in secret, and even his parents didn't know about them. When he was sixteen years old, his parents' carriage fell off a cliff in a traffic accident, so the title of earl became his.

He had always wanted to resurrect his parents, and this was evidenced by his letters to the king. However, it is not possible to resurrect a person by relying on necromancy, only to turn them into skeletons, zombies, or ghosts. And the temple was reluctant to cast a difficult resurrection spell for this unbeliever.

Therefore, he tried every means to continue the magic experiment, and during this period, he also came to the royal capital to meet the king, hoping to get the support of the royal family. According to the records of the royal family. Count Hood wants to harvest life force from the living. to achieve the effect of the Divine Resurrection Spell. At this time. The Mage's Guild advises the royal family: "This kind of behavior is evil and cannot be supported. ”

Even after returning to his own territory, Count Hood was under tremendous pressure. The surrounding territory was often harassed by his magical forces, and the farms and pastures that the undead passed through quickly failed or even became extinct. He wants to conquer the world with the power of death, and thus bring those dead souls into the world - there is a lot of such news, and in the end reality proves it.

No matter how Siegel reads it, there is a feeling that Count Hood has been forced to rebel. In the end, he chose to join the Mage Guild, an organization he hadn't spent a day in before. Then let the association shelter him. What conditions did he use, and why did his necromancy resemble a potion of youth or a potion of life?

Although there is no record of this matter from the Mage Guild yet, a part of the truth can be restored through the information at hand. The last mage lord, Count Hood, also had a good relationship with the king and had good attainments in his spells, but he also encountered the same slander as Siegel and was forced out of the royal capital. After that, things didn't go the way he thought, and distance not only created a buffer, but also became a breeding ground for mistrust.

Eventually, it started with a series of small border frictions. Eventually, it turned into a "rebellion". In fact, Siegel now feels that this rebellion needs to be put in quotation marks, and that things are not as simple as they used to think.

Is it okay to be a good lord? Humm's simple wish is not so easy to fulfill. Siegel hasn't gone back yet. The surroundings of Heim Collar have become less peaceful. Kerry, the giant of the Jackdaw Tribe, has sent back a message that they have no intention of attacking Waterdeep at all, but that Waterdeep wants to expand its territory. It's just that north of the Walls Mountains, the Jackdaw tribe found a salt mine from the orcs and grabbed a large grassland, and for the time being, they are full, and there is nothing very attractive to the steppe people in Waterdeep except for those tall and beautiful buildings.

But if Siegel goes back, he doesn't know what will happen! The Mage Guild's method of using the previous Mage Lord was clear, which was to make him a loner again, losing his territory, his friends and family, and everything he had been. When all he had left was spell knowledge and ability, joining the Mage Guild was the only option.

Siegel is different from him. Count Hood is not an archmage, which means he can't cast the Otherworldly Gate to leave. However, Riele is not a fool either, and he naturally wants to use more meticulous and drastic means to keep Siegel in the Thunder Wall World until he concedes defeat. Maybe there's nothing wrong with leaving for a short time, but once Siegel does decide to leave, Liele's preparations will be revealed.

If it weren't for the lessons of the past, Siegel would probably have been on the path to the trap without knowing it. The only way to give the king absolute confidence that he would not rebel is to stay by his side - it is even safer than sending a proton over. If you think about it, Heim's domain is far away on the other side of the ocean, and all the faster ways to reach it than a ship - whether it's a magic ship or a teleportation array - are actually the work of Heim's Siegel, so once Siegel wants to isolate the control of the starry royal family in the New World, it is simply too easy. Now there are a lot of very young knight squires in the Star Castle, which are actually protons sent by various lords and nobles, showing their loyalty to the royal family. What did the Heim Lord, who had the most powerful military strength, do?

Armed the army with a large number of muskets, made magic ships, and drove the magic ships to the Star King City in a grand manner. Not long ago, he drove a spaceship into the territory of the Countess of Nauteburg. In order to find Sir Bill, the magic ship also opened fire and directly destroyed the magic protection array of Swan Castle, which of these was informed to His Majesty in advance?

Siegel felt that he was still too immature. If these things happened to the lord under his command, it would be strange for him not to question them properly, or not to secretly mobilize his troops to take precautions! Just as he himself said, some things are not that he cannot be done, but that he can do them and whether he can take care of them. But when it was his turn, he still didn't think it through.

At this moment, there were many footsteps outside, and it seemed that a dozen heavily armed soldiers were trotting nearby. Then Siegel heard a familiar voice: "Where's the death, come out to me, Siegel!" (To be continued.) )
