The maid outside the door looked very panicked, and her legs trembled uncontrollably. There are many "legends" about this magic laboratory, most of which are deliberately processed and disseminated by combining various folk stories about evil magicians. For example, if you touch the wrong statue and become a toad, or if you get eaten by a terrible ghost because you wander around, you can do so.

Aside from a few alerts and defensive spells, Siegel didn't use any vicious shapeshifting and necromancy. However, these stories effectively prevent the curious from breaking into the spell lab, and Siegel is too lazy to argue.

Isaac was lying in the maid's arms, grabbing the raven Baron's feathers with his little hands and stroking them gently. He looked at the spell lab with curiosity, only to take a few glances before losing interest and concentrating on the toys in his hands.

The maid trembled with her legs, and finally put Isaac into the lord's arms, and then said, "Lord...... My lord, Madame is gone. ”

"I've found her, don't worry. Siegel comforted her with a smile and said, "The whole castle is shrouded in my perception, Madame is fine, let's rest for a while and go out." ”

"That's good...... Madame is fine. The maid barely smiled and asked, "My lord, do you have any other orders?"

"Prepare Isaac's dinner, and bring it here if we haven't gone out at sunset. Siegel pulled the pet out of his son's hand and threw it outside the door. "Speak to the raven when you come, and it will open the door. ”

The toy was snatched away, and Isaac was not annoyed, looking at his father with big round eyes.

Siegel waved his staff, and the candle in the lab lit itself, emitting a soft glow. He summoned a ball of light and put it in Isaac's hand for him to play with, but he didn't expect the little guy to squeeze it with his hand, and the ball of light shook a few times and was crushed.

"Son. Looks like you have a good elemental affinity, and you're able to influence simple spell effects. Siegel smiled and summoned the Angel of Light. Another small ball with a yellowish glow flew over, rubbed affectionately against the baby's face, and then let him grab it.

This is much stronger than the dance light technique, and it also has a certain sense of autonomy. You can accompany children. Siegel summons the float and places Isaac on it before pulling out his hand to take care of Janet.

She had slowly recovered from the pain and opened her eyes.

"You couldn't suppress it this time, and you transformed. Siegel gave her a rough description of the situation. "It was an emergency, and even Red couldn't convince you. The guards of the castle have picked up the plasma repeater. Thankfully, I'm back, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

Janet tilted her head, looked at Isaac, who was having fun with the Holy Light, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay if the child is fine." ”

"What caused it?" said Siegel, "why is it so bad all of a sudden?"

"I don't know. Some memories become blurry. Janet frowned and struggled to remember, "It seems that Isaac fell out of bed and cried." I don't remember what happened after that. ”

"This matter has gradually gotten out of control, and you can't suppress the process of being exploded by the devil's bloodline. Siegel took Janet's hand, passed his thoughts along with his body temperature, and said softly, "You have to make a choice." ”

"Do you only have to die once?" "Janet bit her lip, still trembling with nervousness, "I'm scared." I'm afraid that once I close my eyes, I won't be able to open them again. ”

"I understand. Siegel said, "But if you become a devil completely." There was nothing left. I entered the mind of the bone demon this time, and there was only evil, horror, and killing ** in it. There's nothing yours for. What's the difference between that and death? In that case, I don't think you can control it and not hurt others. I have magic protection, what does Isaac have? What if the devil wants to hurt him? I can't be with him all the time. ”

"Why not?" said Janet, "you said you could protect us!"

Looking at the kitten's stubborn eyes, Siegel let out a long sigh and sat closer.

"The Knox Guild is no longer a threat for the time being, and the elves are also badly damaged. Hopefully, this will give Heim Collar some time of peace. During this time, I will spend more time with your mother and son in the castle. He said, "But I can't do anything about your current condition, and I can't force dangerous spells on you." At the moment, it seems that reincarnation is the best option. ”

"I know you're scared, but you know what. It's good to be afraid. Siegel said, "You have to keep your survival intensity, so that you can increase your success rate in resurrection." Except when the spell is not sufficient, if the soul does not want to be resurrected, then no amount of strong spells can bring it back to earth. ”

"Really?" said Janet, smiling weakly, still holding Siegel's hand. "Tell me more, what will happen to the spell of reincarnation?"

"As you wish. Siegel kissed the back of Janet's hand and said, "Reincarnation will change your race, stripping you of all abilities that belong to the Demons, including bloodline abilities, and simply recreating your memories and soul in a new form." The devil's curse is passed down through the bloodline, so there's no way to affect you anymore. After that, I will make you a face-changing necklace so that you can continue to be the lord's wife of Myr City with your current body shape and face. ”

Janet smiled, but more to make herself appear more relaxed. "Okay, Siegel, I'll go to reincarnation. ”

Her brows were still full of exhaustion, and the clouds of sorrow could not be dissolved, and Siegel was not like that. But if there is another way, no one wants to go this far.

Isaac babbled and crawled towards his mom. Siegel hooked his hand, the float floated to the couch, and Janet reached out and hugged her fleshy son.

The lord straightened his wife's hair, and when he noticed that the teleportation headdress was not there, he asked strangely, "Where is the headband I gave you?"

"I don't remember a little bit," said Janet, after thinking for a moment, "I feel very tired with the headband, and I feel like I've had a lot of dreams and traveled a lot of places in my dreams." I took it off a few days ago and put it in my room. I vaguely remember that Modisty had been here, and it seemed to have something to do with the headband, but the rest was very vague. ”

Siegel closed his eyes and communicated with the territory's defensive circle, and found that the dragon maiden was staying motionless in the room, seemingly resting. "You should be glad that Modesti didn't join the fight this time, and with her abilities, the Bone Demon will surely die, and you will die with you. ”

"I know, I know......" Janet apparently didn't want to continue the conversation, hiding her face next to Isaac's round face and kissing non-stop.

Siegel didn't say much, just shared the warmth of reunion with his family.

The story of the castle being attacked by the devil spread far and wide, and soon various rumors spread. Siegel came forward to clarify that this was an attempt by an outside spellcaster to break through the city of Myr, which was discovered by Priest Red in time, but fortunately there were no casualties. As for the collapsed stables and chicken coops, they were restored in one day, exactly the same as before.

Siegel told the half-elf mage Edith about Janet's preparation for reincarnation, who smiled and agreed to contact him. News of Waterdeep began to arrive, and the elves began to suspect that Siegel was involved in the defeat of the Northern Elven Legion, so they strengthened the siege of Myr City. Farmers who want to go to the Ghost Fog Swamp Farm to plant are beginning to be subject to stricter inspections, and the frequency of patrols of the War Ancient Trees is also increasing.

Even the Mid-Levels trade route is starting to run into trouble. Although the elves did not ascend the walled mountains, they began to attack the caravans on the mountain path with the ultra-long-range strike capabilities of the War Ancient Tree. The truck that is hit will explode in its entirety by the force of the impact, turning it into fragments. As a result, some vulnerable sections of the road were impassable during the day, and merchants had to rely on the cover of night to pass through the danger zone.

It seems that the elven mages have lost patience with Myr, and there have been six attempts to teleport in the past three days. The first two times they came in were mages, one of whom was torn to shreds by the distorted teleportation magic due to the interference of the energy focusing circle's spell on the teleportation location. The other successfully entered and triggered the warning spell, which was discovered by the guards. Faced with a steady stream of crossbow bolts, the elven mage knew that he could do nothing, so he teleported away.

The elven mages then began to teleport the Assassins and Druids into the castle, one proficient in stealth and the other adapting to their surroundings by means of transformation. Their idea is good, but they underestimate the ability to defend the circle. In addition to being sensitive to all energy fluctuations, the roaming elemental guards quickly pulled these people out.

Siegel threw the elves' heads back with a trebuchet.

The Ancient Tree of War continued to advance until it was only three hundred meters away from the city walls. The elves set up a new encirclement and began to plant horse-repellent thorns.

This is a modified Druid plant that is tougher and taller than ordinary brambles. The horses could not leap from above, nor did they have enough impact to force their way through. Even if you put heavy armor on your horse, you will be entangled in this thorn, and you will be covered with wounds and you will not be able to advance an inch.

It seems that the other party knows that I have a cavalry unit that is unique in the South, Siegel thought to himself. But do they know what the Elemental Rune Circle does?

Once all the thorns were planted, Siegel activated the circle and let the fire elemental power wreak havoc in the thorn bushes. The druids laughed, their modified plants were very tolerant of fire, difficult to ignite and fire would not spread. Siegel immediately reversed the power of the circle, and the acid brought by the earth elemental directly soaked the roots of these plants.

The next morning, all the thorns died. The acid burned all their roots and stems, turning them into a scorching, smoky, grayish-white tissue that lost its ability to deliver nutrients and support.

A letter was delivered to Elf Leah, and Siegel wrote only one sentence on it: "Are you determined to fight?"

The elf took the letter and sat in front of the tent for a long time. Elves have been under a lot of pressure lately, especially in the South. The Heim Realm is considered to be the largest territory in the southern New World, with mages as rulers, as well as spell labs and defensive circles, like a nascent Waterdeep. Although the elven northern army eventually captured Waterdeep, the losses suffered far exceeded the initial estimates. They couldn't sit idly by and watch another Waterdeep rise, so they gave Leah an order.

"It's been so long, it's almost. Leah took out her quill pen and replied to the letter with a word "Good!" (to be continued.) )
