"Two pieces of cheese and a roast lamb? Your father-in-law's tribe isn't very rich." Evan teased Moore as he nibbled on a leg of lamb.

Moore pretended not to hear and continued to clean up the camp with the guards. He already knew Evan's identity, and although Siegel said that he didn't need to pay much attention to it when he got along with each other, he still looked nervous.

Whatever one may say, that's His Majesty the King.

Aaron, who sat on the throne, had been cultivated as a prince in the past, and had a good reputation among the nobility and the people. But according to the law of the Kingdom of Stars, only the eldest son has the right to inherit. Although Evan was born out of wedlock, he was eventually recognized by the king and had reverted to his surname, and he was older than Aaron. So in many people's minds, Evan is the one who should sit on the throne.

It wasn't a big deal to be told by the king, and he was telling the truth. The standard of living of the people in this grassland is not high, and some of the better ones have just solved the problem of food and clothing. It's not because of the natural environment, it's not because the people here are lazy, it's because all kinds of strange monsters are roaming around, and it's difficult to deal with with the power of the tribe.

More was careful about gathering intelligence when running the Outpost of the Beginning, a good habit he learned from his grandfather, Fezak. According to the legend of the inhabitants of the steppe, the farther west you go, the more terrifying and frequent the monsters become. Vampire mosquitoes the size of hounds are everywhere, and giant earthworms that devour people alive lurk underground. Many villages could be destroyed overnight, and the only thing they could do was to dedicate more to the gods of the wilderness and heed the oracle's warnings.

The starting outpost is close to the walled mountain range, and there are no powerful monsters other than the shadow leopards and black bears in the mountains. Moore was glad for that. But also curious about those legendary monsters. I'd love to know if it's true or not. Are the people who come to him to tell the story warning him, scaring him, or simply trying to cheat him out of the bounty?

He only believes in Nata. She said that she had never seen the legendary monster with her own eyes, and that the closest evidence was the bones of the monster that had been killed. "A giant lava python, the fire-breathing kind, with its mouth open and able to swallow the tent and the people inside. Cook the person in the mouth, and then slowly digest it. She said she saw only the huge skull, and the rest was still hearsay.

Nata tells him about the prairie, and Moore tells him interesting stories about the city, and the two gradually develop a relationship. Naturally, good things have been accomplished. Now all you need to do is beat the competition, you can marry her home, and you can stay together every day.

However, he is not as confident as Siegel and Evan are, he is not a magician or a king. The martial arts he learned from Siegel, Leah and others made him a qualified knight, but he was still far from being a superior warrior. His comprehensive ability is indeed good, including army organization, castle construction, territory management, etc., but this is of little use in a simple martial arts competition.

He told Nata at the time that jousting was definitely a bad idea, but the girl apparently didn't think so. "Only the strong are the only last word, you have to win!"

This is a wayward act. But if there is no willfulness, where is there freedom? Reason sometimes has to give way to passion. Even if it will be deeply regretted later. But Siegel was always encouraging him: "You just have to do your best, don't waste your energy on cranky ideas." ”

With that, Siegel used the teleportation to return to the Heim Realm.

It wasn't the first time he had used an Elven Sage's teleportation array, but it was the first time he had tried to cross the forbidden rune array of the Walled City Mountains. Siegel had done experiments, and if he didn't use this magic circle and simply rely on his own strength to open the teleportation channel across the city wall and mountain range, the spell would only last for a few seconds, which was not enough for him to pass. The forbidden rune array will interfere with the teleportation process, potentially causing Siegel to get lost in the void.

This is also related to the characteristics of Siegel's teleportation technique. Many mages teleport to form a pillar of light that wraps the caster inside and throws it directly to its destination. Siegel opens an elemental vortex door, connects to the destination, and then walks through it himself. I've heard that other mages have also elementalized themselves and reorganized them when they get to their destination. Each of these methods has its own pros and cons, and the downside of the Siegel portal is that it has to maintain a stable teleportation channel for a period of time.

The forbidden rune array has the greatest impact on the effect of continuity, and the teleportation array of the Elven Sage arrives instantly, so it can allow Siegel to go back and forth. He returned to Myr City without alarming too many people, just taking some magical equipment and materials. Use the teleportation array's precise regression ability to return to the Bull Rhino Tribe.

By this time, all fifteen robbers had died by Evan's sword.

"These people are trying to steal our stuff and are drawing weapons in front of me. Evan explained as he searched for the body of the deceased. He collected the money and kept half for himself and half for Siegel.

"Well, you give me all the loot as a cost to craft magic weapons. Siegel said: "The next time this kind of thing happens, subdue them and leave it to Mohr, he is the lord of the starting outpost, and only he has the right to judge the team." ”

"It's boring for you to talk so badly. Evan swiped his hand and shoved everything in front of Siegel. "Look, it's all for you. ”

Siegel nodded, summoning the Earth Elemental first, cleaning up the corpse, and then removing all the grass from the entire camp, revealing the soft dirt. He then cast a spell that turned mud into stone, conjuring a hard, flat stone slab so that he could depict the magic circle.

Smelting weapons requires fire, crafting delicate weapons requires a blacksmith to master the use of water, and crafting magical weapons requires understanding the power of all four elements. Siegel skipped the step of creating weapon embryos, and directly carved the elemental circle on the ground, forming a "furnace" of the four elements of earth, water, wind and fire.

And in the middle of the four furnaces there was a tiny magic circle, only the size of a fist, just enough to put down the crystal pillar. Siegel finished carving a circle on it, and it was just in time to give it a try.

The soldiers of the Heim Lords knew the rules not to approach while the lord was preparing for magic, and at the same time to help maintain order and avoid being disturbed, but Evan was clearly not one of them. He crossed his arms on the side. Tilt your head sideways. Watch with interest.

"Your crystal pillar wasn't designed to make magic weapons, is it?, how can it be used?" he asked curiously.

"You're right. It's made for the magic circle in my territory, but that doesn't mean it can't be used to craft magic weapons for you. Siegel carefully examined the lines of the circle he had drawn to avoid any mistakes. "Common magic circles are big and stupid, but if you understand patiently, there are many places in them that are very repetitive. Everyone made the magic circle as complete as possible, and spread out all the functions, which led to the making of the magic circle becoming a tedious thing. I have an idea to use a specific function as the core of the body. Concentrate on this repetitive demand. This saves time over and over again and reduces the error rate. ”

Evan pouted, "I shouldn't have asked you, I don't understand at all." ”

"Anyway, it's a new approach, and it's uncertain whether it will work. Siegel wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "I have a new idea, and I am not willing to give it a try." ”

"I understand this, it's like I suddenly came up with some ways to use a sword, and it will be uncomfortable if I don't practice. Evan said, "How long do you have to prepare, do you know how many people are already watching." From the moment you summon the Elementals, it's the center of attention. You did it planned, right?"

"Yes. Neither is it. "But now is not the time to care about that," Siegel said. I'm going to experiment with your sword soon, and there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents. If you care about your weapons. Why don't you start praying now? ”

Evan stepped back, making way for Siegel and said, "Prayer is useless, no god has ever answered me, not even the chief priest of the Church of Dawn knows why. They also gave me a name called the Unblessed by God, so they didn't support me on the throne either. But it's okay not to be blessed, after all, I'm not cursed, am I?"

Siegel was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Evan, like himself, prayed to no avail. He also asked the Elven Sage about it, but he couldn't get any answer. After all, the biggest thing that he and Evan have in common is dice.

The Elven Sage once mentioned the "agreement between the gods", but I don't know what exactly is inside. Some gods respect order, while others act only according to their own feelings, and it must be a great deal to be able to make all gods not accept prayers and make agreements. Siegel held the dice, 'Why did this happen to me?'

It's starting to get dark, and it's time to prepare dinner. If they don't finish the work at hand, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to work and rest normally. Siegel took a deep breath and told the group to pull back. He sprinkled the casting material powder in the circle and began to chant the incantation.

The air vibrated and an invisible force pushed the people around it away, and the stone floor trembled. Siegel raised an eyebrow and gestured, accentuating a few syllables in the spell. The tremors died down, and the power of magic tamed.

The incantation followed the incantation, one higher than the other. The advancing syllables like waves resonate with the elements, lighting up the four furnaces in turn. The four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire cause different out-of-phase, and Siegel now has to be distracted to maintain the balance between the elements.

But then you don't have to worry about it.

He uses a spell to activate the red crystal pillar in the center, connecting the four elemental furnaces. Through the circle carved into the crystal pillar, Siegel began to construct simple elemental loops and controls. This is not Mier City, and there is no elemental rune array to condense energy, so the concentration of the four elements is not high, which is easy to control. A single crystal pillar can easily complete the work of storing and condensing the elements.

He controlled the spell and tweaked it so that the crystal pillar took over. This way, he only needs to concentrate on operating the crystal pillar, and does not need to be distracted from managing the four elemental furnaces.

The general energy system that Siegel is most familiar with is the Plasma Rune Array of Naurus, so the crystal pillar constantly emits blue-white lightning. The mage took out the "bonfire" and hung it on the crystal pillar. He put his fingers together and rubbed the blade of his sword. With each forceful brush, lightning struck the blade of the sword, carving the spell Siegel had chanted into it.

This is similar to the assembly line principle of Nakus, except that the masters use the technique of plasma melting, and Siegel uses the power of the four elements.

With the repetition over and over again, the blade of the sword had turned red, as if it had been reforged. However, it was not caused by the heat, but by the magical reaction of the mage constantly pressing the spell into the sword. Siegel poured a spell while sprinkling precious magical materials on the sword. After all, the "Campfire" is an ordinary longsword that is about to shatter, and its material needs to be improved. Silver, fine gold, obsidian chips, and keel powder, Siegel is not stingy in crafting fine products, especially weapons for his good friends.

No one had ever made magic weapons like this, and even Evan was dumbfounded. The people around the camp were silent, and their eyes widened one by one. They couldn't understand Siegel's train of thought at all, but they felt that his every movement was with a strange beauty and mysterious demeanor, which was really amazing. Standing in the middle of the four elements, the young man who controlled the lightning seemed to have broken away from the mortal class, like a god incarnate.

The long sword buzzed, and some of them could not withstand the layers of magical power, and began to show signs of gradual collapse. "Is it really too ordinary?" said Siegel, he didn't want to see his work go to waste. (To be continued.) )
