The candlesticks on the table were long gone, the fire in the fireplace was flickering, but much of the bedroom was shrouded in darkness. Siegel stood by the head of the bed, quietly watching his sleeping son, recovering the covers as he kicked his legs.

Aside from turning into a lich, this is one of the rare ways Siegel can stay calm.

Immersing oneself in the study of magic can also achieve mental calm, but that can make the mind too focused and not conducive to thinking. Siegel needs to plan his next move and get everything in order. Peace is hard-won and needs to be cherished, and the foundation on which this peace was built is very reluctant. The elven threat was not completely eliminated, but after having four hundred hostages, a fragile balance was established.

Moreover, he does not believe in elven saints.

As the spokesman of the gods of the race, he has absolute authority among the elves. He was both a warrior, a mage, and a priest, and all the elves were his followers and subjects. If you want to find the man in black, wouldn't it be better to have the elven archmage, high priest and legendary warrior go out, why bother looking for a human?

From any point of view, this matter looks like a conspiracy, but this is not in line with the character of the elven god. It was a kind, peaceful, art-loving god, and there was nothing bad except that there were times when his mind jumped too violently. And how could conspiracy, deception, and misdirection, which are more like the means of the god of murder, appear in the elven sage?

Judging by all his current actions, there is no trace of deception.

The agreement between the elves and the humans has basically been finalized, and Mana, as the deputy lord of the Heim Lordship, joins Dre Uther and Brown Lester to represent the Southern Lords Alliance in a truce with the elves. Although the agreement has not yet been finalized, everything on the battlefield is over. Humans and elves alike began to return to their respective homes, and it was common to see humans pushing carts home and elves marching in procession on the main road.

The Heim Realm was still unguarded, and heavily armed soldiers watched over every armed person who passed through the territory. Cavalrymen patrolled the border day and night. Both to guard against bandits entering the territory after the war, and to search for infiltrators who might be believers in the god of murder. For the knights of the Heim Realm, the war is not over, but the enemies in the open have been taken care of, and now they have to deal with the opponents hiding in the shadows.

In order to show greater sincerity, build good trust between humans and elves. The Elven Sage himself went to inspect the four hundred elves who were imprisoned. He asked the elves to meditate, think, and introspect more, and to spend two years in Heim.

Two years is a short time for an elf's long lifespan, but it is enough for the Heim Territory to stabilize the situation, build the territory well, and establish a close connection through the road from east to west. Two years were much better than Siegel had expected, and he accepted the kindness of the Elven Sage and returned to Myr with him.

The Elemental Rune Circle and Energy Focused Lens of the Heim Collar did not react to the Sage's entry. In other words, there is no secret for the Heim Leader to be in front of the Sage.

"I don't want to meet that lich, I am disgusted by the negative energy in him. The Elven Sage said, "If it hadn't been for it handing over the life box to you, and hiding honestly from anyone." I will definitely disperse him from the mortal world. ”

Alexander seemed to feel threatened, and hid far away when the Elven Sage built the magic array, and later left the Heim Territory to go to the city wall mountain range to relax. He's still figuring out how to get to the top of Mora, but he's hit a hard spot. Due to his status as an undead, no fanfare can be used in order to avoid detection. But ordinary magic is useless in front of forbidden rune circles and adamantite gates.

In short, there is the time when the Elven Sage was in Haim. Siegel always had a feeling of unease. Because all his sense of security is maintained on the basis of the records of the Mage Federation and the other party's trustworthiness, but in fact, he lacks the corresponding countermeasures. If the Elven Sage has evil thoughts in his heart. The entire Heim Territory has no power to stop him, and the territory he has worked so hard to create will definitely be wiped out and become a part of the Elven Kingdom.

Of course, Siegel also knew in his heart that such speculation and suspicion were not fair to the Elven Sage. As a projection of the deity, his character and way of acting are determined: that is, it is impossible to violate the character of the deity itself. But it also caused Siegel another concern: the Sage of the Elven God was here. What about the god of murder?

According to the Elven Sage, the God of Murder's power has been greatly enhanced from an unknown source, and it is likely that he now also has the ability to create a Sage. Because the confrontation between the saints will only consume each other's divine power and will not be beneficial at all, the gods have always avoided engaging in the war of the saints. But the god of murder often does things that hurt others and himself, and there is no guarantee that he will not push the conflict to that level.

Therefore, you still need to continue to improve your magical power, at least to protect yourself. Whether it's finding Janet, besieging Heim Territory, or fulfilling his dream of exploring the world, Siegel can't afford to let up for a moment.

A magic tower is being built on the east side of the castle, and the teleportation circle that the Elven Sage promised to build is on the square platform in front of the magic tower. Twelve elven mages who arrived from the "Art Research Institute" in the Elven Forest are setting up magic circles under the guidance of the Sage, and learning knowledge that they have never been exposed to before.

Formal mages know that there are countless worlds in the universe, many of which have magic, and many of which have elves. The elves of all worlds will honor the god of their race and pray to him. Therefore, the elven sage in front of him actually has knowledge across multiple worlds. It's just that for some reason, he can only take out a very small part and share it, "so as not to affect the course of the world too much." ”

But the real reason is not - the corners of Siegel's mouth are slightly upturned - "the spark of wisdom is the most precious treasure in the multiverse".

Through the eyes of the raven, he knew that the magic array had begun construction again. Elves live a long lifespan and only need four hours a day to rest, so they can work non-stop. Fortunately, these pointy-eared guys like art more than work, otherwise the world would not be what it is now, and how would human beings have a foothold?

Siegel covered the child with the quilt again, called the raven back to take care of it, and went to the magic circle construction site himself.

He still had a lot of questions to ask.

Taking advantage of the Elven Sage's time in Heim, Siegel was determined to find out all the secrets of the Elemental Surge Circle. Breaks down matter into elemental energy. He was keenly aware of the enormous potential involved. The elves love nature, so they came up with the idea of how to transport water up the mountains to create spectacular waterfalls. But when Siegel saw the waterfall, he thought of how to use the impact to drive his own waterwheel.

The Elven Sage is a very tight-mouthed person and never reveals any answers directly to Siegel. However, he would say in which book the clues could be found. After a few days together, Siegel had used him as a living catalogue of books to retrieve the knowledge he needed.

While it takes more time to find and dig for answers after the fact, doing so can ask a lot of questions in a short period of time. This kind of learning method has never been seen before, and it has amazed even the elven mages who have gone through the vicissitudes of life. Not only the questions related to the Elemental Surge Circle, but also the questions accumulated in the usual magic studies were all raised by Siegel.

"Stritch's "Plastic Energy Spell Specialist", you should read it. The Elven Sage was busy answering Siegel's questions while he was busy with the matter at hand. He was able to finish a sentence in between chanting spells, without affecting the effect of the spell in the slightest.

"Siegel. Did these things come from Waterdeep?How did I see a lot of materials for building the Elemental Surge Circle?" said the Elven Sage, pointing to the mercury bottle on the ground.

"It's all mercury, don't frame me. Siegel shrugged.

"From the outside, it's still silvery-white, but it's not pure mercury, and there's some silver powder and aluminum powder dissolved inside. This recipe is used in the Elemental Surge Circle, and I know there was quite a bit of this stuff in stock outside of Waterdeep, so you wouldn't say it was a coincidence, would you?"

"Isn't coincidence the realm of God? Siegel noticed that the other elven mages were paying attention to the conversation here, so he quickly changed the subject: "How did you find out about the whereabouts of the God of Murder?"

The Holy One points to the top of his head. Said helplessly: "There is no result for the time being." You also know that this world is only a small part of the world of thousands of elves, and the importance of finding the god of murder must be on the back burner. Just be patient. ”

"How can I bear it?" said Siegel, "and Janet may still be with them." I was at a loss because of rebirth. Will she be frightened, scared, will she be found by those people?"

"Siegel, do you really know your wife?" the Elven Sage snorted and said, "She has been trained and experienced many more dangers than you, don't think that you know magic and look down on others!"

"Hopefully that's what you say. Siegel said, "Do you want me to pray to you with all my heart?"

"Whatever you want. The Elven Sage still chose to avoid this topic.

Since the last attack in the Elven Forest, the Man in Black has disappeared. It never appeared again. However, some of the bandits heard about it, dressed up in black clothes and pretended to be them, and robbed the passing caravans. In order to maintain the hard-won peace and order, both humans and elves have organized armies, and once they discover the whereabouts of the robbers, they will quickly launch extermination operations. Order in the New World was suddenly much better.

While building a teleportation circle, Siegel also has to pay attention to the development of the territory. Bucktooth Genesis has found a suitable port to the east of the Misty Swamp, and new construction plans are on the agenda. There used to be a small harbour here, which was later destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami. Smugglers often use this place as a landing site, so there are still some ready-made buildings by the sea.

Due to the shape of the bay, it was known as Rabbit Ears Bay by smugglers and captains, and is now called Rabbit Ears Harbor. The craftsmen who built the city of Mir came here and began to build the port. With the help of water and earth, the most difficult underwater construction and harbor deepening works have become much easier, and Genesys expects it will only take four or five months to be able to get in and out of large cargo ships.

And that's not all.

After the peace treaty was concluded, the elves abandoned the siege of the Hub as promised, and the besieged Coalition mages in the Crimson Spire were freed. The Mage Guild recruited many members of the original Mage Federation and arrested all the wizards of the Knox Guild. All of them had left the New World, presumably heading to the headquarters of the Mage Guild for further arrangements.

Only a handful of the Federation's mages decided to stay. Some of them went to Waterdeep in the hope of rebuilding the Federation on the site of the Three-Peaked Tower, while a few others chose to come to Myr City and join the spell laboratory here. These people were surprised to find that what they thought was a laboratory was actually a library, where they could continue their studies and research, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

They did not join the Mage Guild, mainly because they were dissatisfied with some of the association's practices and were wary, so they would not reveal the secrets of the "Spell Laboratory" in Mir City to the outside world. In fact, the mage Edith is a member of the association, and it actually makes no sense for them to do this.

Among these mages was Wendy. (To be continued.) )
