It's snowing.

Although Heim Territory is located in the southern part of the New World, snow is not uncommon, once or twice a year. This year, however, the snow was spectacular, starting in the middle of the night and covering the ground in the morning.

"A thick feather quilt. Siegel said to Janet as soon as he got up in the morning. "In normal times, I would say that this snow is a good omen of a good harvest for the coming year, but now is not the right time. ”

Janet hugged Isaac in her arms and said while breastfeeding, "What's the matter, this snow is still messing with you?"

"Janis's truck fleet is not moving. Siegel replied, "No amount of careful planning can hide the traces of nature, and the elves will find out their whereabouts." ”

"Janis is smart and won't be on the road at a time like this. Janet reassured him, "The snow in the south always melts, and those territories can hold on—at least longer than the wagons had passed." ”

"You're right. Siegel waved his wand to make the fire in the fireplace warmer and stop talking about war. This time of day is a rare and warm time, and no one will come to disturb it, so that the lord's family can rest.

The inhabitants of Heim Territory feel very fortunate to have a lord like Siegel. Although this winter was ravaged by war and the fields were heavily damaged, there were no catastrophic consequences. It is said that the lord negotiated with the elves in order to give everyone something to eat. The elves also seem to be worried about the prestige of Siegel's victory in the "One Day War", and have to agree to a temporary truce.

The elves' wine and meat and milk that "I don't know where it came from, it must not be from the other side of the walled mountains". It was distributed by the lord according to the head. Plus some grain. Everyone found that this winter was not sad.

Except for food. In previous winters, everyone was worried about whether there would be enough firewood for the winter, but this year they were surprised to find that the room was not as cold as before. In many cases, even if it is cold and snowy outside, there is no need to light a fire inside the house, and everyone only needs to wear thick clothes to endure it. Many people were curious to touch around, but neither the walls nor the floor felt heated.

This is the result of Siegel's spell experiment. In order to establish a magic equipment pipeline as soon as possible, he constantly improved the elemental rune circle in his territory. In addition to adding some functions of the energy focusing lens and the "battery" of the Flame Soul Crystal, he began to try to use the mutual conversion between elemental and plasma energy. Thus changing the surrounding environment and generating energy.

The first to benefit is the "heating" system. Every day, the Elemental Circle slowly releases a part of the power of the fire element, heating the air in the territory room, so that everyone can spend the winter comfortably.

However, at present, it is not possible to cover the elements of the whole castle, and the gathering of elements in non-enclosed spaces has not been solved. Siegel found that every time he made progress, new questions arose. The study of magic seemed never-ending, and he had to concentrate now, putting aside irrelevant issues and getting the most pressing things done first.

"I went to the lab. Siegel said, "If there is anything wrong with the territory, inform the raven." ”

He kissed his wife and children goodbye and tightened his collar. Walk out of the castle. Snowflakes are flying, and this is a wonder that belongs to the earth. Sail for so many years. I have never seen snow on the sea, and you can only see this white landscape when you are close to the harbor and land. Now, the snow, the earth, the castle, and the magic had become a familiar part of his life. In the courtyard, the snow was already deep, and the shoulders of the patrolling soldiers were covered with snow-white coats.

In this weather, everyone else is resting, only the soldiers are still walking around. Hum trained them well, to the standards of the War Lands north of the Walled Mountains, brutal, harsh, and unsympathetic. Some knights decided that this was not merciful enough, and even approached Siegel for it.

Siegel remembers saying this: "The elves have been staring at us, and I dare not show any flaws, what about you?"

The knights couldn't argue with it. Then Siegel had them stare at Hum: "Tough training is okay, but abuse is not. And that set the tone.

The hot breath exhaled from his mouth turned into a white mist in the air, rising and dissipating quickly in the snowflakes. Siegel grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and squeezed it with his fingertips, involuntarily using Najus's elemental transformation technique. Green lightning danced on the white, fluffy snowball, which easily turned into a crystal clear ice ball, then cracked, and finally exploded like a balloon with a bang.

The wind and snow around it were blown away, and then it snapped back together. Siegel successfully transformed the water element into the air element, and the next step was to try to turn the air element into the fire element. If the cycle of change of the four elements can be formed, it will have a subversive effect on the magic spell.

As long as you continue on this path, you will definitely be able to leave your name in history and become a famous archmage. Siegel smiled slightly, rubbing his cold hands. This matter will have to be considered in the long run, and for the time being, the main focus is on making plasma crossbow arrows.

He stepped into the courtyard and walked towards the basement entrance opposite. The boots left ankle-deep holes in the soft snow, and the chill crept down the shafts. Then he used the elven steps, and then he didn't sink so deep and didn't make any sound.

He saw another row of footprints that also led to the basement, pointed-toed soft boots. The footprints are shallow, and it appears that its owner is very lightweight, and judging by the distance between the footprints, it should be an adult. Who else has a kung fu similar to the elven martial arts? The castle guards can only step through the deep and dirty holes, could it be that the elves have mixed in?

Siegel immediately pulled out his wand, and the magic circle of the entire territory began to vibrate, and the elemental power gathered on him. As if spreading a pair of wings made of the four elemental powers, Siegel flew through the courtyard, carrying layers of phantoms through the basement entrance.

In the second floor of the basement, the Demon Mound Erdu and their assembly line must not be discovered by the elves!

The spiral staircase obscures the view, and Siegel can't reach it directly using any door. But the elemental wings allowed him to fly like an air elemental, and he spun and rushed down with a huge wind pressure.

"You're not allowed to go in!" Devil's Tomb's voice was clearly audible, and then Siegel heard the sound of ping-pong banging. Erdu often makes such a sound when he is tidying up his square metal body, could it be that he has received an attack?

Siegel finally landed. He saw a man dressed in gray kick Erdu out of the way. The mound is constantly spinning in the air. Makes a long and melodious "ah......

The mage wasted no time shouting "stop" or something like that. A bolt of lightning went straight at the gray-robed man. The light of lightning illuminated the darkness around him, and the man sensed the light and turned his head.

It's Moddy Sty.

The dragon girl had a surprised look on her face, and her big blinking eyes looked innocent. Siegel was stunned for a moment, but it wasn't too late to withdraw the spell attack. With a thud, lightning struck Modesti accurately, and the surging elemental power blasted her hair and clothes through the air. However, the dragon girl's own strong magical resistance made her only stumble a step. It didn't hurt much.

The second snapped and fell to the ground, then Gollum got up and straightened his flattened body with his hands, so the whole body made a ping-pong sound again. He walked crookedly on his slender legs, and said as he went, "You are not allowed to go in, Siegel will be angry!"

It seems that the Mozuka is fine, but what is Modesti doing here?

The dragon girl looked at Siegel in a daze, and said with some confusion: "You know that lightning magic has no effect on me, why do you still use this to hit me?"

"What are you doing here?" Siegel said, "You don't see the warning sign outside. You should also know that there are multiple layers of spell protection here, and you are not allowed to enter casually. ”

Modisty raised her arm and grabbed her hair. It's like trying to make up a reason. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "I was sleeping, and I heard a bang here, so I came over to take a look!"

"There are silent runes here, how can there be a sound?"

"Our dragons have better hearing than you. ”

"That's the Silent Rune...... Siegel shook his head and pursed his lips, knowing that she would keep making up nonsense on this matter, so he had to change the question: "How did you get here?"

"I'm good at stealth, you can't see your detection runes!" said Modisti smugly.

Siegel let out a long sigh and said to the dragon girl, "When you say this, it shows that you deliberately ignored the warning, deceived the protective circle, and deliberately came down to check. ”

Modesti immediately asked, "Then what should I say?"

"Sleepwalking is a good reason. ”

The dragon girl nodded violently: "Yes, I sleepwalked - I was invisible when I slept!"

Siegel felt a little headache, so he rubbed his forehead vigorously. "Modisti, I'm doing a very important magic experiment here, and I can't let others know about it, so as not to leak it to the elves, so I set up layers of protection. ”

"Oh, I know wrong, I'm definitely not going to say it to anyone. Modisti waved her hand, her body shaking. "What the hell are you hiding here, and why do you have the smell of space spells and dragons?"

Siegel sniffed around, but didn't notice what Modisti had described. Then he used his psychic vision to detect the magic around him, and then he realized what the dragon girl had misunderstood.

The manufacturing workshop is built on the Elemental Runes and Energy Lens Array, and the plasma technology of Nakhus constantly transforms the collected elements, mixing, adapting, condensing, and changing. Ultra-high concentrations of elemental elements form dragon-breath-like characteristics, and spatial magic, such as teleportation, is using massive elemental power to prop up spatial rifts and create passageways through them. These are very similar to the environment here, so they were misunderstood by Modesty.

Since Siegel uses "heating" to facilitate the entire territory, and the "lollipop" in Modestie's hand is constantly receiving the energy provided by the new circle, some environmental signature signals are also transmitted. Dragons, especially magical dragons like Modesty, are very sensitive to this kind of information, so they can follow the vine.

"But you shouldn't have beaten the mound. Siegel said.

"I just looked, and I didn't go in, and I didn't move. Modette tilted her head slightly, and looked at Siegel with begging eyes: "The concentration of elements here is so large, you don't need it, why don't you let me live here!"

Siegel thought about it, and that wasn't out of the question. Besides, even if you don't agree, do you have to keep dividing your energy to prevent a dragon from sneaking around in the castle?

"Can you promise not to interfere with our work and keep this matter a secret?"

Modestie nodded and exclaimed, "I knew you would agree!" With that, she took a step away and ran towards the ground with a puff of smoke.

"Hey, what are you going to do?" Siegel asked.

"I'm going to get the pillow or something! I'll be right back, don't worry!"

Siegel's eyes widened, and he shouted, "Come back!" I'll give you a robe, put it on!"

Modette looked down and saw that her dressing gown had been shattered by the lightning attack, and had long since fallen off with her movements. She laughed, and thought of something funny, and walked faster. A sound came from the spiral staircase, piercing through layers of protective magic and clearly entering the mage's ears. "I'm going to tell Janet that you broke my clothes!" (To be continued......)
