"I can't accede to your request, Mr. Edith. Siegel said, "First of all, it will be difficult for me to perfect the spell of the undead transformation in three years, so that it can be adapted to people other than me. ”

"I believe in your abilities in spell research, and Heim Collar is the best example of this. "The half-elf mage looks more sure than the person concerned. "The Elemental Circle here is breathtaking—I don't say how elaborate or grand it is, but it opens up a new path to make the combination of elemental and runic power a reality. This is the quality of the caster that the Mage Guild values most of all, and their views also influence me. You have to be confident in yourself, Siegel. ”

But the young mage still shook his head and said to his senior, "Thank you for your trust, but I still can't promise you. The Heim Realm is still at war, and the Elves and Mages will not be able to split the winners so quickly, even with the Mage Guild involved. As a lord, I don't have that much energy to devote to the study of necromancy spells, because it doesn't help the course of the war. I don't want to find all sorts of excuses to perfunctory you after three years. Although it is only an exchange, there is a favor in it, and I cannot ignore your help to me. Why don't you exchange something I can offer right away and ask the druids to cast a spell?"

Edith looked at Siegel again with interest, as if the hollow skull could conjure up some new tricks. Then he smiled, then clapped softly, appearing relaxed.

"You're a stupid kid, but you're an honest guy. Edith said, "I can see that it's hard to get you to say yes, but you're the kind of person who says yes and then you do it. ”

"I want to be the kind of person you say I am. Siegel said modestly.

The half-elf mage stood up. Let your apprentices and assistants leave. So there were only two of them left in the room.

Siegel sat quietly on the couch. Wait for him to speak first.

"What do you think will be the outcome of the war that the elves have started this time, and will they have a chance of winning?" he added, "Tell me the truth!"

"Yes, elves still have the best odds so far. Siegel said, "Whether it's in terms of the caster's combat ability or the level of the army, the elves are sure to win. The dwarves are closed to the country, and the humans of the New World are like scattered sand, and there is no way to compete with the elves. However, the Wraiths of the Knox Guild and their spells are very resistant to large-scale battles, and the elves can lose their advantage at any time if they are not careful—but the victory is still in their hands. ”

"It seems that you are sober. Edith said, "After getting evidence that Naykoth and Knox are related." The Mage Guild has decided to stop Naquus' interference with this world at all costs, including many interdimensional actions. As we spoke, several teams of mages had already set out in search of allies. ”

"That's really good news. ”

Edith nodded and said to Siegel, "The spell you gave to the Mage Guild, called the Energy Focus Lens, was also taken by these mages and set off together. If it does have a good restraint on the Resistant Technique as you described, then you can get even more rewards. Since you don't want to give me—or can't give me—necromancy, I want all the benefits of your Energy Focus Lens spell. ”

Siegel thought for a moment. Nod in agreement. "One spell for another, it's a fair trade. I have one request, though. That is, the reincarnation technique has to be sure to be successful, and I don't want Janet to be in any danger. ”

"I'll make it happen, but it's not easy to impress the druids. Edith said. "The druids are elves, and the elves and humans are still at war, and many things will be inconvenient. But as you said before, the elves have the advantage and the victory, but you have not surrendered yet. I couldn't help but think: Did you anticipate something?"

The Half-Elf Mage and Siegel looked at each other, seemingly exchanging views through their gaze. Why does Edith keep mentioning war, does he mean something? As a half-elf, caught between the two sides of the war, what does he think?

Edith once said that he had lived in the Elven Forest for more than a hundred years. If it weren't for the fact that the Elven "Art Academy" only recruits pure elves, I'm afraid he wouldn't have entered the Mage Federation to study. Siegel looked at Edith's expression, the wrinkles on his face and his loose skin reminding him that he had reached the end of his life. At this time, apart from magic, what else does he have nostalgia?

Siegel suddenly figured it out, Edith knew the power mobilized by the Mage Guild, he saw the possibility of elven failure, and wanted to find a way out for some of the elves he cared about.

"No one can see the course of the war, and one day the tide will be reversed, and the previously inconspicuous little man may survive among the giants and become the only victor standing. Siegel said, "I have no irresolvable enmity against the elves, and the Heim Territory can set aside some shelter for the free elves who no longer go to war, as long as they respect my authority as a lord." ”

Edith held out his hand, and Siegel shook it. Negative energy and curses crept up the half-elf's arm, but thankfully the short time was not enough to dissolve his protective spells and did not deal substantial damage.

"It's really inconvenient for you to be in this state. The half-elf mage smiled. "I wonder what Casper's expression is now?"

"He's probably going to say, 'Why don't you die?'"

Edith laughed, and then he let go of the burden in his heart, and was really happy: "Maybe he hasn't noticed it yet, otherwise he will definitely fall into a conflict, worrying about whether to keep the spell running, or give up." ”

"Will he send a guild mage to check on the situation, or launch an assault on Myr?"

The half-elf mage touched his beard, "I can't rule out this possibility, after all, he even used the Great Curse Technique." You've been on your guard lately, as the Great Curse will continue to reveal your location, so stay in the Library for now, it's safer. ”

"Well, I also want to calm down and learn magic. Siegel said, "But I need to explain something to Janet first." Provincial she was worried. ”

"It's best not to go near her. And absolutely avoid contact. The half-elf mage instructed, "The curse and negative energy on your body are likely to trigger the self-protection ability of the demon bloodline. Accelerates the recovery rate of blood power. I'll arrange the reincarnation as soon as possible. You don't have to worry. ”

Siegel thanked Edith once more, and then walked out of the underground library to arrange the affairs of the territory.

Shrouded in the Great Curse, Siegel could not appear in front of the knights and the inhabitants of the realm, the skeletal appearance and the evil aura that constantly emanated from him was enough to frighten everyone. The only one in the entire territory who is completely unaffected by the evil aura is Modestie, and the dragon is much stronger than the rest.

However, the dragon girl has little interest in walking bone frames, as this does not allow her to improve her perception of spatial teleportation. During her time in Heim, the high concentration of elements played a very important role in her growth, and Modisty began to mature from her youth.

Siegel finds her through the raven. Hopefully, she will be able to strengthen the defense of her territory in the near future to prevent unknown mages from approaching. Modette yawned, looking at her expression and not taking it to heart.

Dragons are greedy, and Modesty is one of the better ones. Siegel took out the Teleportation Scroll of Precision and promised to teach her what it contained, which made the Dragon Maiden take it seriously. With the true dragon to protect his wife and children, the mage can finally feel a lot more at ease.

The longer the time drags on, the more pressure the elves will put on the Federation, and the less likely it will be that Archmage Casper will send someone, so as long as he survives the initial situation, it will be much better.

Both internally and externally. There is only one caliber: the lord is crafting runes in exchange for peace from the elves.

Time is ticking day by day. Waterdeep and the elves have been at a stalemate, and both sides are reluctant to sacrifice. So the federation can't attack, and the elves can't get in.

The elves weren't easy to deal with, though, and they must have done research on the Mage Federation. Seeing that the spell enchantment of the Three Peaks Tower was strong, they also began to build a super-large magic array to surround Deep Water City. This circle is so unique that no one in the Federation has ever seen anything of similar design and scale.

The elves watched it closely, and guards patrolled every place day and night. A large number of precious materials were put into the construction of this circle, but the elves did not even show a look of pity. The mages worked day and night, and the sound of spell chanting was incessant, as if they were performing a concert. But for Archmage Casper, there was no mood for appreciation. He knew that the elves' goal was to break through the Three Peaks Tower, but he didn't know their methods, so he couldn't make a targeted defense.

The mages of the Three-Peaked Pagoda try to decipher the secrets of the elven circle every day, but progress is slow. They parsed the part of the spell that gathered the power of the elements, which was a necessary structure in every magic circle, but it was applied in a very large number of magic circles outside the city.

"It's a powerful attack circle. Here's what they said in their report: "But it's not out of the realm of elemental magic - we've found magical enchantments that mix the elements. It's very cleverly set up, hidden among the runes of other circles, but it's still cracked. ”

Under the influence of the Guild's magic, the mages who were originally loyal to the Federation now trust Casper's own leadership more and have become admirers. When worship is fanatical enough, it becomes blind, and this is exactly how the Knox Commons control the Federation. The mages who came to report the results of their research were among the first to turn fanatics, working almost sleepless to accomplish Archmage Casper's mission.

"Very good, since it is an elemental attack magic, then you only need to convert the spell enchantment type of the Tri-Peak Tower. Archmage Casper made a concerned look and told his admirers to quickly go to rest, then got up and walked to the top of the Power Tower, where the Control Core was located. In order to avoid being disturbed by magic, the core room is isolated from all teleportation magic, and spells are set up in the passage to prohibit flight, flashing, and shadowing. Even the manipulators themselves have to walk up honestly.

There are a total of 527 steps, rough and old, exuding the smell of history. The walls of the passage are inscribed with warnings from among mages, warning everyone who passes through here to think twice about what to do, not to indulge in the temptation of power, and not to use the magic circle of the power tower lightly.

Casperda, this is just some stupid old nonsense. If you don't use the power that you have worked so hard to gain, won't you waste your time? Time is life, and power is the guarantee that you can control your own life.

The Staff of Power slammed down the steps with a clanging sound, helping him make his way to the top of the tower. There is a complex magic array here, which has extremely strong defensive capabilities, both externally and internally. Only the Big Three and the two Tower Circle maintainers know how not to trigger these protections.

One wrong step and you will never recover. The Federation has set extremely strict rules on the top floor of the Power Tower, which is very different from the Federation's usual extremely accommodating style. Casper is like a dance, performing various poses in a predetermined sequence, passing through one inspection after another before he can really touch the core of control.

"Cumbersome stuff. When his consciousness was connected to the tower, he finally relaxed. The spell reversal barrier is difficult to deal with the super-large-scale magic array attack of the elves, and it is necessary to open the hidden shadow, change the spatial dimension where the three-peak tower is located, and avoid the cusp of the enemy's elemental attack.

Spatial spells are extremely expensive, especially if they envelop the entire area of the Federation, even if they drain all the elemental power around them. However, the power tower also has its own way of dealing with it: it draws power from the enemy's elemental attacks to replenish its own consumption.

The stronger the enemy's spells, the better the effect of spatial transfer, and the lower the risk of being attacked, which is the design principle of Stealth Latent.

Casper concentrated, checking the tower's operation and energy reserves. He snorted suddenly, and realized that the Great Curse was still running.

And the energy reserves are almost empty...... (To be continued.) )
