That afternoon, it was not Siegel Squid himself who appeared on the rostrum of the tournament field, but his lamp god double. Fortunately, it was only the semi-finals that day, and the champion was not decided, and there was no award and other links, so the lamp god did not show his stuffing. The true Lord of Heim, the Royal Earl of the Starry Kingdom, and the Archmage of the Federation have been in their study, thinking about how to deal with the new situation.

Sir Bill's letters from afar, written by him himself, also bear the coat of arms of his seal, the beautiful robin. In his letter, Sir mentions that His Majesty King Aaron, through his close ministers, had sent him a message asking him to find some means to convey to "Prince Evan" that he might meet him personally. The safest place to be at the moment is the upcoming meeting of the dwarves. For the sake of peace and tranquility in the Kingdom of Stars, Aaron will personally board the unsinkable stone boat even if he is dragging his sick body.

Sir never imagined how long his connection with Evan would be hidden, especially since Evan emerged from Heim Territory in the New World, took up residence and gathered the old ministry to return to the Star Kingdom. Given his relationship with Lord Siegel of Heim, this matter would sooner or later involve him. He had imagined that he might be stripped of his title, or even die of an "accident" or be secretly executed by the Assassins, but he never expected Aaron to let him deliver a letter of such a heavy weight.

Since his marriage to the Countess Ferraran Beer, he has rightfully begun to manage the territory that belonged to his wife, keeping everything in order and moving forward. However, he was still not eligible to be selected by the dwarves to attend the meeting on the Unsinkable Stone, so he did not know why it was held or what it was about. Either way, Aaron and Evan meeting will directly affect the situation in the Starry Kingdom, and at the same time change the stalemate that is now surging in the Old World.

Sir Bill said he would tell Evan about it on Aaron's orders. But he was skeptical about the meeting. I consider me to be the Archmage of the Federation and Lord of Heim. The only mage lord in the world. Should be eligible for the dwarves' meeting, so entrust me with the care of both of them. Siegel read the letter five times, making sure it didn't contain any hidden meaning that he had overlooked, before discussing it with Janet, "Aaron, what is this going to do?"

"What more could a person in power want, to keep his power or to gain more power? Janet shook her head as she spoke. So far, Aaron has not claimed that Evan is a traitor, so it is very likely that he wants to recruit him. Didn't Sir Bill use the title 'Prince Evan' in his letter, which is probably one of Aaron's strategies. ”

Guessing other people's thoughts and actions can be more of a headache than studying magic spells. Because of the sea in the middle. Relying on the oral accounts of captains and merchants, the news from the Old Continent is always very delayed, and its authenticity is difficult to verify. After Evan left the New World, he also went into hiding, and only a few words came back, so Siegel couldn't judge the situation at all.

"What can we do? The situation is like seeing nothing in the night, and sailing through reef-strewn waters. Maybe the situation in the Kingdom of Stars is even more complicated than that, but Sir Bill has me crashing into it. Siegel clutched his forehead, only to feel his veins pounding. He thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, "You said I'd leave now." How about going to the Starry Kingdom to find Aaron? Evan is hard to find, but Starry City can't run. Aaron must have been in the royal palace. ”

Janet shook her head and persuaded: "Let's not talk about whether you can meet His Majesty Aaron, just say whether he will confide in you after he sees you." How sure are you that what he says in the palace is what he really intends to do? How will you tell if it's true or not, and will you use magic on him?"

"I think of something important when you say this, the archmage of the school city, especially the prophecy master Liele, will it have been ......" Siegel thought for a moment, there was no need to keep a fluke mentality. "Leel must have known, so he had to take the idea of the school city into account. Even though they vowed to serve only and not interfere, they had chosen Aaron not long ago, so they would certainly lean toward him on every occasion. In this regard, Evan is at a disadvantage. ”

Janet took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Siegel's head and said, "Did Sir Bill mean that you would like to balance the power of the spellcasters around Evan ?"

"It's possible, but the master never knows magic, how can he know the difference between my power and that of the mage of Xuecheng? I don't think he will suggest that I do something he can't understand, especially when it's full of danger. Siegel stood up and paced back and forth in the study, the mage's robes rubbing against the floor, swishing sounds.

Janet didn't speak, she thought quietly and waited quietly.

After walking about a thousand steps, Siegel stopped, patted his head, tugged at his black hair, and said, "I gave up." I can't figure out why Aaron did this, and I have only one choice for now, go to Sir Bill and ask for clarification!"

"Can you bring Sir Bill to the dwarven council, and if you can't make a decision on the spur of the moment, it's useless for you to go to him. Janet sighed, "I know you like to be prepared before you act, but there will always be accidents, and it is impossible to control everything." ”

If there really is a fate in the world, then Siegel's thread of fate must be in the hands of a god who doesn't like to play cards according to common sense.

The mage thought for a moment, then admitted that Janet was right. He walked over to the table, re-read Sir Bill's letter, and summoned a flame to burn it. "A war in which friends and foes are unknown, the battlefield is unclear, the weather and the terrain are uncertain, and there is no room for foresight in this situation, and the only option left is to try to strengthen yourself, to break through all possible obstacles in one go!"

Jenny nodded, knowing that Siegel had finally figured it out. Sometimes, the thinking of the wise is not the best solution, but the courage and self-confidence of the brave can always have a good effect. In fact, there was a sentence that lingered in Janet's mind for a long time, but she wouldn't say it: no matter what Aaron and Evan wanted to do, Heim Territory was still in the New World, and how far could the Kingdom of Stars influence?

She knew it was a selfish idea, but she had to say it was very sensible. If it weren't for the fact that magic had taken up a lot of Siegel's time, the Haim Lords would have been able to annex the entire Southern Lords Alliance and form a de facto new nation. But Van Segal was a bit ambitious, and the tattered little lords spent their days shouting and arguing outside the border. Armed with plasma repeating crossbows, the Heim Rangers are more than enough to crush any lord's troops in the field, pinning them down into the castle. Siegel pointed out that he needed to summon magic to take over the castles one by one.

Many knights and nobles in the Heim Realm had this idea, and the count was not as imposing as the king. However, after the Elven War, Siegel completely stopped the expansion of his territory, and even the starting fortress was strictly ordered not to expand in the face of the vast borderland. While this conservative approach has allowed many to enjoy peace, it has also saddened others.

"How are you going to prepare to gather the knights and the army and rush to the Star Kingdom at any time?" Janet was a little puzzled: "Can the teleportation array cross the sea in the middle?"

"Someone has done it before, and there is no reason why the transcontinental teleportation array can't be reproduced. Siegel said: "The direct access circle of the Federation and the Mage Guild, the full set of drawings have been preserved. ”

"Is it time to fix it before the meeting starts?"

Siegel shook his head: "I've seen that drawing, it's impossible without two years of hard work." But I have another idea to make it easier to do this. He calculated it on the paper, then raised his head and said, "The cost of 620,000 gold coins, at most, exceeds the error of one percent, and the two continents can be connected. ”

"Are you sure it's the number?" said Janet, standing beside Siegel, but she couldn't read the equation her husband had written on paper. "At present, there are only more than 200,000 gold coins in the entire territory, but according to your intentions, there are quite a lot of various materials and resources in reserve. The production of the Gushan mine is increasing every day, and the workshops in the Rift Valley are like monsters that can never be satisfied, and they still do not see the limit of their smelting and processing capacity. If you can determine what supplies are needed, maybe we can solve the remaining gold gap. ”

"There are no particularly rare materials that are used in huge quantities, and 200,000 gold coins are enough to use. It's time to put Heimling's manufacturing capabilities to the test. Whether it's a weapon change or a golem unit in the future, you need to rehearse it, right?"

"These things are not the cost of placing orders with the federation, but we make them ourselves?" Janet was a little puzzled: "Siegel, what the hell are you going to do?"

"Use the relay of ships parked on the surface of the sea to connect the teleportation arrays one by one until they reach the Old Continent. "Fortunately, I'm familiar with the routes between the two continents, and I know that there are some islands to use, so maybe I don't need many boats," Siegel said. ”

"I still don't understand, but whatever you tell me to do, I'll do my best. Janet said, "If Heimling's economy can hold up, you can rest assured!"

"I'll also have to prepare for the meeting, maybe I'll leave early, and Isaac will have less time with you. Siegel said apologetically.

"It's because you're both an archmage and a lord. Janet shook her husband's hand and said, "The only mage lord in the world." ”

Her eyes were so gentle that it made Siegel feel a lot better.

The tournament came to an end, and Siegel cheered up and cashed in the rewards for the champions. Heim has new knights, who are expected to serve the realm with loyalty and competence. Siegel asks Manna and Hum to study all the ways to fight with repeating crossbows in preparation for the future.

It's all about preparing for the future, which makes people so tired. Siegel was busy with his Golem drawings while designing a transoceanic teleportation array. (To be continued.) )
