Chapter 135: The Sea of Destiny 6
Siegel left the Tri-Peaks Pagoda with a heavy heart, and the respected Bo Bachelor was time to take medicine, and then went to bed. It took a lot of physical effort to meet young Siegel, but in the end he received a satisfactory answer.
"Help the Mage Guild preserve books and knowledge?" Siegel paused for a moment when he heard the request, and then replied, "That's absolutely fine. Then he asked the question, "How can I help? Do you need me to copy the books?"
"You'll know when the time comes, let me, the old man, keep the last mystery. Archmage Faranis looked at Siegel and couldn't help but sigh that it was good to be young. Being young has enough time and hope, infinite changes and futures, and I don't want a dying old man whose end is doomed. However, young people can also be impulsive, and sometimes they will make mistakes because of impulsiveness, so the old man advised: "The Knox Guild has requested to be merged into the Mage Federation, and this matter has been approved by a resolution. You're one of the few people you've dealt with them, so don't have any conflicts. ”
This news shocked Siegel more than any other news, and he hurriedly said: "The common mage modifies other people's memories, controls other people's thoughts, and uses the spells of resentful spirits. They're not kind guys. ”
"They claim to be shamans, but they are still mages. Archmage Casper is willing to open up all of the Society's technology, including their Flame Crystals and the Tower of Eternity, and accept the Federation's rules and regulations. We have no reason to reject him. ”
"But ......"
"Not everyone agrees on this, but it is the general trend. "But it's still early to really merge, and you're not exposed to much. So I think the common meeting may be a little unscrupulous. But they never harmed the mage. This is the most central thing. He sat up. Patting Siegel on the shoulder, he said in a deep voice, "After all, we are all mages. ”
Subsequently, the topic was discontinued. Due to Siegel's contribution to the Mage's Federation, the word apprentice was removed from his title and he was given a spell book provided by Archmage Alexander Pilsen, the "Lion King", enough for Siegel to study for a long time. In addition to secretly giving him a bottle of Lich Potion, Master Faranise also gave him a tome of knowledge on the surface. It includes copies of the notes of many senior mages, heated debates of various hypotheses, and sparks of ideas colliding with each other everywhere. Siegel solemnly picked up the two books. Seeing this, the Bo Scholar gave him a small space pocket to hold these things.
Now that the spell book is in hand, Siegel is ready to go to the Black Blood Castle next. Knowing that everyone was safe, he had time to prepare for the road without having to rush to the road. A new wand was necessary, and this adventure taught him a good lesson as a new mage, and taught him what it meant to be prepared.
This time, he chose a wand that increased the effect of spell-based spells. Summoning spells are mostly spell-based. Most teleportation spells are also very versatile. And this magic wand feels good. There was no sense of stagnation as the spell energy passed through, so it was pocketed by Siegel.
With little gold left, Siegel bought a pack of Traceless Powder and two bottles of Healing Potion. The Beacon of the Tower of Authority was still tirelessly selling to him, but Siegel remained unfazed - gold was always a big problem.
After that, he returned to his accommodation in the northern district. Looking at the three-story building in front of him, Siegel felt like he was suddenly out of this world. It's only been about half a year since I left here, so why do I feel like this? I remember that the leaves on the trees had not yet fallen off when I left, and the chrysanthemums planted by Mrs. Deepp had not yet withered. Who had shoveled the garden into a vegetable patch, and what was in it? Siegel thought for a moment before he remembered that before leaving, the housekeeper had said that he would plant some peas.
The door to the building was locked, and Siegel's key to the house had long since been lost in the Walled Mountains, but the gate wouldn't stop him at all. With a simple spell, the lock will open on its own. However, Siegel was in a good mood and decided to go to the backyard to have a look. So he stepped over the vegetable patch, careful not to trample on the seedlings on the ground, and then came to the back of the yard.
It used to be a stable, but now it's been demolished and filled with large and small boxes. Bucktooth Genesis was lying on a makeshift bed made of two boxes, snoring under a thick blanket. Looking at him, he has a good life, and he is a little fatter than when they met, but now is not the time to sleep. Baron, the raven, suddenly "gawked" and woke him from his sleep.
"Who is it?" Denis sat up sharply, then saw Siegel's familiar smile, "Boatswain!"
"Are you all right?" Siegel asked, "Why did you sleep in the yard?"
"It's all good, it's all good, hehe. Janis laughed, his teeth neat. Seeing Siegel's doubts, he pointed to his teeth and said, "Didn't they all be knocked out, and it was too inconvenient later." Good boy Carl found me a filler, and now I can gnaw bones again. "He's very happy with the way he's been, and when he jumps off the box, he's almost back to the agility he had as a sailor. "These goods are good things found in Trinis, most of them are special products of the savages of the northern steppes, mainly furs, and some animal horns, medicinal herbs and the like. It is said that some of them are spell-casting materials, which are required by both major temples and mage associations. After the war, many savages came south, and they disposed of these things at a low price in exchange for our food. Trinis is a good investor, and used the news you gave to prepare the goods in advance to exchange with the savages. ”
"There's no force buying and selling, is it?" asked Siegel.
"I wouldn't do anything like that. Denis replied, "Lady Linda, fearing that we will affect your reputation, has let her son Carl oversee every transaction." He is now a priest of the Moon Temple, and he is very serious every day, so naturally no one dares to do evil. I almost forgot to mention that Ms. Linda had prepared a sumptuous dinner today, and Trinis was said to have met a very important partner and wanted to feast him. Originally, she was going to the hotel, but Ms. Linda insisted that Carl attend the banquet with her, so she did it at home instead. ”
"That's good. Siegel said, "Did you know that Archmage Alexander Pilsen, known as the Lion King, had a manor in the northern city?"
Janis nodded, pointed to the east and replied, "Not far away, it was given to him by the Council of Lords. But he never lived there. ”
"I went there to check it out and told the others that I would be back in the evening. ”
It seems that only by fulfilling his promise can he be truly at ease, Siegel thought as he walked. Since there is enough food in the city for everyone to eat, and the war situation is also developing in a good direction, then after the orcs settle down, he will complete what he promised them. The walled mountains still need to be defended, and the orcs are even better. Maybe they could put their wives and children on the grasslands, and then let the men grab their weapons and become soldiers, which is better than working as miners for the dwarves?
He couldn't be sure about this kind of thing, and only an experienced lord could answer the question. Maybe in the end, the orcs will have to choose for themselves. As for the humans in the team, they are no longer slaves when they enter Waterdeep, and if they have families to run to, they will give them the rest of the gold coins, even if they sail across the seas.
In the manor of the Lion King's family, all the orcs were honest, not even one of them stood up and walked around, obedient as a docile puppy. More than a dozen servants were helping them prepare their meals, and the cauldron seemed to be broth with greens, and long strips of black bread were steaming hot in baskets, and no one dared to come forward to take them. Seegal was puzzled by this sight, and as soon as he stepped through the door, he heard the sound of sizzling footsteps beside him.
A steel giant more than five meters tall approached, and every stone slab it stepped on would sink into the dirt, but fortunately it didn't cause the ground to shake. It was covered in steel armor and covered in intricate runes, with green gas leaking from the cracks in his armor. Siegel only felt that his teeth were sore, but he didn't expect that there was an iron golem here.
No wonder everyone was being honest, Siegel thought as he stepped back. The Iron Golem is a formidable foe, very powerful and very precise in attack. The runes on his body protect it from the effects of magic, and at the same time, it can absorb the energy around it and make a poisonous spit. This meant that anyone who wanted to defeat the Iron Golem would only be able to attack in what the Golem did best: hand-to-hand combat. But I believe that few people are willing to understand that pair of huge fists.
Not to mention that the lion king Alexander also specially equipped this golem with a "small" shield like a door panel and a "short" sword.
Mage Akqi is still here, and he has heard that Archmage Alexander will appear to arrange the affairs of these orcs, and he may be able to ask him questions in person when the time comes. So the drudgery turned into a benefit, and he finally had a good look at Siegel. Besides, with the approval of the Bo Master Faranis, Siegel now wears the crimson robe of an official mage, which is exactly like him.
Siegel told Manna and Hum about his idea of placing orcs, and made it his first assignment to the female marksman. He could see that the female shooter wanted to stay by his side all the time, and he could probably guess her thoughts, but he wanted to go to the Black Blood Castle as soon as possible, so he had to leave someone alone to deal with the refugees. Unless Fezak is willing to stay, it can only be Mana.
It is estimated that the female shooter also figured this out, and after Siegel left after explaining the matter, she went to find the one-eyed old man. Fezak was not in the manor, and when he came ashore, he left the crowd and went to the seat of the council of lords. He's definitely going home after that, so Manna can find him before that if she's fast.
Siegel was completely relieved, and began to plan a plan to march towards the Black Blood Castle. Most of the middle is a war zone, and the armies of humans and orcs are still at war. Is there any good way to get yourself through safely?
With these things in mind, he walked back to his home. There were quite a few people gathered at the door, and a very familiar tall figure was laughing.
It's Giant Kerry. (To be continued......)
