Calm and order returned to the room, and the mages sat back in their chairs. Everyone was waiting for Siegel to come on stage to speak, but when they looked up, they saw that Wendy was still on the podium.

The female mage stared blankly at Siegel with excitement in her eyes. It wasn't until a mage in the audience coughed that she came back to her senses. Her mind suddenly went blank, what should she say next?In an instant, she seemed to be back to her apprenticeship days, reprimanded for not being able to remember magic spells, and huddled in a corner.

"I ...... Oh......" she stammered, and the red cloud began to climb up her neck, ten nails scratching restlessly at the table. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said bluntly with the only courage she had left, "The spell just now was amazing, I forgot what I was going to say." Next......"

She hurried off the stage and quickly found an empty chair to sit on. The person next to him handed her a cup of contemplative tea, and Wendy forgot to thank her, holding the cup and busily taking a sip.

"Siegel, Siegel. Several mages shouted, all of them young spellcasters. The more stable, wise, and powerful mages were silent for the time being, but they were eager to hear what Siegel had to say.

Siegel knew it wasn't a good choice to go on stage right now, and it would be nice to hear more from other people. But now that things have come to this point, he can't back down. So Siegel took his defensive staff, walked to the podium, and pulled a large bundle of scrolls from his bosom.

"Don't worry, this is not a statement. Siegel smiled and said, "This is the blueprint of the Mir Core. ”

Wow, the scene was chaotic. The Mage Lord had just demonstrated the power of the Myr Energy Core, and everyone was blown away by the elemental surge-level energy that could be controlled. Who can control that energy. Whoever is invincible in the spell duel. No mage is too stupid to understand the truth.

Ten mages involved in the creation of the circle. On the first day of the launch of the Myrneon Core, they came together in an attempt to deduce the composition of the array. As with countless previous attempts, they couldn't fill in the gaps in the blueprint, or even come up with an alternative. These were the ones who feared Siegel the most, they had been sitting quietly in the corner, and they were the only mages who were not excited by the appearance of the scroll.

They glanced at the scroll in Siegel's hand and shook their heads slightly. The scrolls they took out were obviously incomplete, and the number was not as large as the drawings they used in their construction. Siegel certainly has reservations. This was to be expected.

"Don't get excited, what I came up with is not the complete blueprint, just a part, but this part is complete. Siegel said, "The Mir Core has only one pure function, which is to provide elemental energy. It wouldn't have been able to complete even a Burning Hand spell without a mage involved. ”

"These scrolls are part of the application of the Myrnen Core, which I call the Elemental Pipeline. Through this elemental pipeline, all mages can connect to the Myr Core and obtain the elemental energy it provides. Whether it's supplying oneself or driving magic items, there's no problem. ”

"I've also made a lot of magical items. Know how difficult it is. Isn't the most troublesome part of the problem being the core that provides magical energy to the object? Now that I've solved this problem -- sort of a preliminary solution -- I'm going to take it out and share it with you. ”

Siegel handed the entire stack of scrolls to the mage closest to him, and asked him to send them. It turns out that each reel is exactly the same. It is densely written with dragon language, which is used to explain the function, use, and manufacturing principles of elemental pipes. It wasn't until the last person got the scroll that Siegel began to speak.

"It is a pleasure for me to join you once again in this great gathering that will be of historic significance. To tell you the truth, I don't know most of you, and only a few of you know me, but that doesn't stop us from coming together today. Two hundred and fifty hundred years ago, a group of mages came to the New World with hope and a love for magic, and began to build a magic academy in the wilderness outside the northern deep-water harbor, and called themselves Union Mages. Did they ever think that it would become Waterdeep, and that the Tri-Peaks Tower would become the greatest magical building in the New World? But I can be sure that one hundred and fifty years later, even if the Three Peaks Pagoda falls, the descendants of these people still have not lost their faith,"

"Just now Master Wendy talked about the temptations of the Guild, some people are ashamed, some are angry, and some are envious. There is no right or wrong way to do this. On the road to becoming a mage, everyone faces all kinds of temptations all the time. When your fingertips first lit up, did you ever dream of becoming the sun? When you put goblins to sleep with sand, did you ever dream of making the world bow down? When you chant incantations, open doors to otherworlds, let angels and demons sing for you, whisper the whispers of temptation in your ear, do you have a moment of temptation? ”

"Now look at the people around you, there are no madmen, no fanatics, no people who have sunk because of heaven and hell. Everyone swallowed the temptation, became reasonable, and strengthened their convictions. We are all Mages of the Federation, and we have our own pursuits and pride. Not the other, but the only one, is magic. ”

"It doesn't matter if the path of the Mage Guild is right or wrong. The important thing is that it survived, for thousands of years. I didn't join the Mage Guild not because the terms they offered were not good, but because they thought we couldn't live without them! The New World is a new hope, and it is with such ideals that our predecessors came here, and this hope has been cut off? ”

"Someone will say, oh, Siegel, you are both a mage and a lord, why are you speaking on behalf of the Federation?" Siegel paused, looked at the thirty mages in front of him, and then smiled and said, "Because I am better than all of you." ”

"I disembarked for the first time six years ago, and a year later I made a fortune on my adventures as a knight's squire, so four and a half years ago I was able to knock on the door of the Mage's Federation and become an apprentice to learn magic in the form of a saloon. Eight months later I became a trainee mage and then joined the Orc Wars. ”

"When I came back from the war, it was a coincidence. Received both the official mage and the title of baron. The Masked Lords' Council of Waterdeep unleashed the bait. I swallowed it. So there was Heim Collar and Myr City. Maybe I'm in everyone's sight at this time. ”

"A few more years later, at the age of twenty-two, I stand here and show you my magical abilities: I am better than you. When I can't speak with my age, seniority and connections, I can only show strength. I don't need you to be fearful, obedient or alienated, I just want an opportunity to pass on my thoughts to everyone. ”

"I've always lived in the castle, and from my room I can see that the bazaar of Myr is not far away. I can see all kinds of people running around every day. What can you see from the Tri-Peaks Tower? Only a powerful magical barrier. The tumbling fog of spells blocked out all prying eyes. We need the Mage Tower, but let's not be trapped in the Mage Tower, because outside the tower is the New World, where hope lies, and if we can't see it, then what's the difference with the Mage Guild? It cost me a total of four thousand four hundred and fifty gold to become a mage apprentice and trainee mage, and I remember it clearly, it was quite a considerable expense, a wall stronger than any obstacle, it separated us from them. ”

"We are with them. This distinction is a terrible thought, and I feel it deeply. I in the Spell Lab and I in the Hall of Lords seem to live in two different worlds. I was able to spend close to half a million gold coins to make Myrnecore. On the other hand, I need to referee a dispute caused by a chicken worth two copper plates. ”

"If you give each of these two people who are arguing five thousand gold coins, will they also be able to become mages?" said Siegel, "Don't laugh, no one knows about this. I'm a sailor, what about you, what about you? I noticed that two of the six people I went with for an apprenticeship ended up becoming full-fledged mages, and the other died in a magical experiment while interning. In other words, almost half of them are able to cast magic. It can be seen that the intelligence is abnormal, and it is not difficult to judge whether it is literate or not, so it is much easier to select a mage apprentice than to find a priest apprentice. After the initial selection, can I think that 10,000 gold coins can produce a mage?"

"Are you delusional?" necromancer Shelley snorted: "Mages don't grow vegetables, how can they be so casual?"

Siegel looked at her, his eyes radiating with confidence. His voice was unhurried and audible: "Using the Elemental Pipeline, the cost of magic is only a little higher than that of iron in the envelope of the Myr Energy Core. I can't get 10,000 gold for every two students, but I'm confident that I can reduce the cost by a hundredfold!"

"The energy supply of magic experiments, magic items, and protective enchantments, my Myr Core can continue to meet their needs. As long as fifty mages can be born from here, my cost will be recovered, and with a hundred mages appearing, the federation will basically recover. If there are a thousand mages, even the association will be shocked. ”

"I know of rumors that I have great ambitions, standing on the ruins of the Federation, standing on the sick body of Waterdeep, and using powerful elemental magic to make the New World tremble. I would say to these people, you are underestimating me. ”

"With you or without you, I'll use the Myr Core to train new mages. I'll also teach knights, soldiers, and peasants to cast spells. Whoever tries to stop me, I have almost infinite energy to fight against it, and I am confident that I will succeed!"

"But I have one hope, and that is that the new mages don't have too much of my style and influence. Just as the Myr Cores are the result of the combined efforts of multiple spellcasting systems, mages should be diverse. The Federation takes the meaning of union, and anyone has the opportunity to become a mage. The collapse of the Tri-Peaks Pagoda left us without our walls, but also a chance to embrace the world. It would be a mistake to embrace a careerist like the Knox Fellows, but we shouldn't lose courage. Who can not have a problem with casting a spell and cause an accident? Therefore, I hope that my colleagues in the Federation can help me brainstorm ideas to train more mages, mages of the Federation, mages who are inclusive, collaborative, and can continue to advance magic. ”

"I want you to stay in Heim Territory and help me make that dream come true. ”

Siegel finished speaking, licked his lips, and waited quietly. (To be continued.) )

PS: It's the last day, let's hand over the monthly pass.

At least don't let me move to the 400th place on the monthly ticket list, hehe...... 55555......
