Siegel sat by the brazier, draped in a thick blanket and holding a warm wine glass in both hands. The power of the Ice Spear goes deep into the bone marrow and soul, and it will take a long time to get rid of it.

His hands still trembled, partly from the injuries caused by the collision of weapons during the battle, and partly from converting plasma into elements and forcibly using spells. Now I can't even hold the wine glass, and the liquid surface is constantly rippling. Fortunately, you don't need to cast spells yet, otherwise the failure rate will be scary.

"Knox sneaked in unnoticedly and cast a spell on me. Still feeling like a nightmare, Kerry said to Siegel, "If you hadn't arrived by chance, I would have taken the entire Prairie tribe to death with those bald knives." ”

"The Raven Tribe has no experience dealing with mages, so it's not surprising that this happened. Siegel said, "How's that caught Scarface, how are you interrogating?"

"At first, he had a hard mouth, but in the hands of the Skinning Tribe, even the Divine Descendants couldn't hold on. In the grasslands, they had a place among my least favorite tribes, but now it seems that these people do have some skills. Kerry looked at the piercing wound on his left palm, moved his fingers slightly, and continued: "He has already opened his mouth and said a lot of things. However, the skinner did not stop the torture, and still made him repeat it over and over again. The wizards of Knox are good at playing with their minds, and they may not know which words are deceiving. But the skinners are stronger at playing with flesh, so let them get busy!"

Siegel nodded, glad that the scarface, named "Frank", had been caught. When the cavalry of the Jackdaw spotted him. The man was almost close to the edge of the Holy Land. The cavalry dragged him back. Pulled off his wig. And found an old swirl tattoo on the top of his bare head. The Knox Guild has officially become an enemy of the Raven Tribe, and the entire prairie is on alert.

"I almost ruined the good picture. "Kerry buried his fingers in his hair, and the giant was helpless at times. "After becoming the Khan King of the steppe, I burned my head, and even without magic I was so proud that I didn't even listen to the persuasion of my friends, and became obstinate. Siegel, how can this be avoided, how can we always do the right thing?"

"You ask me?" Siegel pointed to himself. Then he waved his hand: "It's just the two of us here, I'll tell you the truth." I don't know the answer to your question. No one knows the answer, you have to know that even God will make mistakes sometimes. I don't dare to say that I made the right choice, and the conclusions that come out of calculations do not always translate into victory. ”

Kerry looked up and asked Siegel, "Then you decided to fight me, did you calculate that you can win?"

"How is that possible?" said Siegel. "My only thought at the time was to you off, let the power of your bloodline come into play, squeeze out the Mind Curse, and then hold on as long as you could before you beat me. Unless I use magic. Otherwise, if I talk about martial arts alone, I will definitely die. You weren't normal at that time. If I had calmed down, I would have died. ”

Kerry nodded, thought about the process of the competition, and then said unceremoniously: "You also know that you can't beat me, if nothing else, you are indeed an honest person." ”

"Hey!" Siegel tapped his glass on the ground and said unhappily, "I'm here to save you, don't hurt people so much, okay?"

"I know that if you leave the Holy Land, you can take me down in a few minutes. "But here, you're taking too much risk," Kerry said. Do you think you're really not going to die?"

Seegal heard Kerry's kindness and said, "I couldn't think too much about the situation at that time, only desperate and risky. Like I said, no one can always be right, but it must be wrong to watch your brother die for fear of danger. ”

"Okay, you have a point. Kerry said. "After this lesson, I have gone to the priests of the Three Spirits Temple to find a way to discover and prevent thought control. Until we find a way, the Holy Land is our only barrier. At my command, the steppe tribes began to assemble here, huddling like sheep in a blizzard. What do you think of this approach?"

"If you have trusted sources of information in Waterdeep and the elves, do so. Siegel sneered, and then said, "The huddle looks safe, but it gives up the depth of the entire grassland. You can't fight the elves until the Knox Guild is defeated, but you can't let them advance into the forest. Hold on, stick to, and then withdraw at any time. ”

"Like you did when you were jousting with me?"

Siegel nodded, and Kerry fully understood.

The two men talked for a long time in the Great Hall, making a pact for the Heim Collar and the Jackdaw Tribe. Through the "Mid-Levels Trade Route", a communication line for important materials such as horses, weapons, food, and leather was established to unite forces and resist the invasion of elves. Siegel and Kerry, one in the south and the other in the north, echo each other from afar, cooperating with each other to find fighters. The war started by the elves may not be an opportunity for these two brothers with different surnames.

"The elves are proud, and so are the Knox Guilds, and they are on par with each other. Pointing to a point on the hand-drawn map, Siegel said to Kerry: "If the Commons are forced to a certain extent, they may take extreme measures." This location is the key place to strangle them, and it is also the most important purpose of my visit to you this time. ”

Kerry frowned and looked at the place pointed out by Siegel, the tribes of the steppe had never traveled that far, and how could the cavalry go up the mountain?

"New hatred and old hatred together!" the giant slammed the table, "Don't worry, even if you work hard, you will block Knox's back!"

"Through the mid-mountain trade route, I will transfer some soldiers who are familiar with the situation over and exchange your cavalry, which will be beneficial to all of us, and can also help in future operations. ”

"It's a deal. Kerry said, "You and I will shock the world together." ”

Siegel looked at the map in front of him, he didn't want Kerry to be so optimistic. Despite many efforts, there are still too many elements that are beyond his control.

Will the dwarves at the top of Mora suddenly get involved? The starry kingdom on the other side of the sea will not sit idly by and watch the New World fall completely into the hands of the elves. When will the Mage Guild take action, and how much power will the Federation have left in the end?

The so-called pulling a trigger affects the whole body, and the power of the New World itself is also complicated. There are still many problems that need to be solved on this mid-level trade route alone, and as the number of consultations continues to increase, there will be more and more problems. The distribution of resources and benefits, the issue of security, measures to avoid irritating the elves, etc.

Moreover, unlike the tribes of the steppe, who have nominally unified under the banner of the Jackdaw tribe, the southern lords are still working on their own, and it is difficult for several major forces to unite.

Luckily, Heim's collar was on the edge and didn't get caught in the gap. Otherwise, worrying about all kinds of conspiracy traps all day long will also consume a lot of Siegel's energy, and what time will he have to study magic?

Even in the face of so many problems, Siegel could only smile lightly and say words of encouragement to keep Kerry motivated. The conspiracy of this reunion made Kerry very uncomfortable, and the giant was not good at expressing himself, so he held a lot of emotions in his heart. Siegel tried to comfort him, but didn't know how to speak.

He himself was equally distressed.

When the two of them walked out of the long hall, it was snowing outside again, and the foot of the mountain could not even be seen from the mountain. Everyone can take another opportunity to take a break and be liberated from the tournament and the battles that followed.

The screams of the captured Scarface Wizard were being tortured in a tent at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, all the magic was suppressed here, so that this person did not escape, otherwise Siegel would face an even more dangerous situation.

Seeing the two come out, Kerry's new guard immediately let out an "um" and followed closely. This guy named Cui Li was a powerful guy between shadow and flame, and if it weren't for his knowledge, Siegel would have almost suspected that he was the elite of some Assassin organization. Kerry should be much safer with such a person to protect, and after this incident, the Jackdaw tribe also changed the way the leader decided everything, and invited the leaders of the large tribe and the respected priests to form a core meeting to decide the details of the work.

This is an important step on the road to civilization and is the cornerstone of Kerry's true quest to become the king of the steppe. If the Heim Territory is not able to develop rapidly, it will one day be swallowed up by this force.

Seeing that Kerry was closely protected by a bodyguard, Manna also stood up and silently followed behind Siegel, also acting as his shadow. Siegel was always trembling when he walked, so the female knight was always ready to help him. The Messirah brought the docile horses so that Siegel could save the effort of walking.

As he looked at the Messirah, Siegel remembered Janet. In the city of Myr, surrounded by elves, the Demon Girl is also threatened by the transformation of the bloodline. This matter can't be delayed any longer, and when he goes back this time, he has to put aside the war for the time being and find a way to solve the devil's bloodline.

The desire to go home was so strong that he offered to take his leave. Kerry was prepared for this matter, and the details were discussed during the secret conversation between the two. He asked the groom to bring the best horses in the tribe, the pony that could quickly cross the grasslands. Siegel was no stranger to it, but it was the first time he had seen it since he was released from the Black Blood Keep.

The silver-white horse of the wind also knew this master, so he came over to rub it affectionately. Siegel was not polite either, and turned over and rode with the help of the female knight. His knees and chest still hurt terribly, but the Pony of the Wind was able to run fast and steady, and as long as he stayed out of the sanctuary, he could use teleportation.

There was still heavy snow in the sky, which was a good thing for Siegel, and it could hide everyone's reluctant expressions when they parted. (To be continued.) )
