It has gone through countless spring and autumn cycles, but for the first time since the lord, Heimhill has ushered in the harvest season. For a whole year, the farmland here was not damaged by wild beasts, raided by bandits, and there was no war, and together with the industrious people, a good harvest was finally achieved. The water mill built next to the Dun River runs all day long, grinding mountains of wheat into flour. A tenth of them will belong to the lord as a cost for the use of the mill.

It is customary to organize a banquet for the hard-working villagers during the harvest to express their gratitude to Mother Earth, who has nurtured the world. Janet took the matter and took it. She began to level the open space outside the castle, leveling it with rubble. After the banquet is held, it will be used as a town square for the outer city, and new houses will be built around it.

Most of the affairs of the territory are handled by Janet and Fezak, but that doesn't mean Siegel can be idle. The dwarven occupants from the top of Mora finally arrived, and more than twenty weathered dwarves looked at the newly built castle with harsh eyes.

"Except for the runes, nothing else. One of the dwarves said, "Just give me twenty men, and I will be able to climb the wall and lower the drawbridge." ”

"Just your old bones, and you climb the walls?" said the other, "why don't you dig a hole in the ground? No one will notice. ”

"Shut up, we're not here to attack the castle, we have to think about how to defend it. The third dwarf's words resonated with many people, "What if you run into a stone ridge giant?

Watching the dwarves fall into silent thought after a heated discussion, Siegel felt a little embarrassed to greet them, and it was estimated that no one listened to the self-introduction he had just made to the dwarves. Elint had said that the dwarves had formed a new group that was out of step with the environment at the top of Mora. Even dwarves have a hard time getting along with them.

At the same time, Elliint also warns him not to try to get the dwarves drunk, partly because it is too difficult, and because they are even more difficult to control when they go crazy, Mora Peak has already learned a profound lesson. If it weren't for the fact that the high-ranking priest of the Dwarven Guardian Temple happened to be present, he cast a spell of emotional stability. These westward dwarves have long since broken through the guards and blockades, and have been exposed to the dwarven people.

Siegel rubbed his chin. Since I can't make them listen to me, I take the initiative to blend in. Later, he joined the discussion, using the layout of the buildings he saw in Cage Valley to explain his plan against the Wyvern, which worked. Due to the same dwarf's handwriting, many of the plans in Cage Valley were quickly understood and accepted by the people on the scene. They asked Siegel to draw patterns on the ground, and a lively discussion ensued.

Some of the options are despised by them, but there are many merits. Siegel through their words. I also understood some of the ingenious ideas of architectural design. From morning to evening, a human and more than twenty dwarves stood on the playground of Myr City, constantly writing and drawing on the sand, designing a city that did not exist.

Then, as if they had been discussed, the dwarf's stomach gurgled one after another. At this moment, a dwarf with a dark yellow beard suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Where is the lord who came to greet us? I'm almost hungry!"

Siegel raised his hand and hurriedly said, "I'm here!"

The dwarves came back to their senses and looked at the human who was a cut tall among them. They whispered, "It's weird. Why did I feel like there were only dwarves around me, and there was no smell of humans?"

Seeing that the topic is about to deviate again. Siegel hurriedly shouted, "Who wants to eat?"

The mage was stared at by more than forty hungry eyes, a scene that had only been seen in nightmares. He quickly led the dwarf to the dining room and let the kitchen serve the meal. In fact, these foods are prepared in the morning, and the whole day is constantly reheated, and there is no leisure at all in the morning, and the end result is that the broth becomes richer and softer. This dish made the dwarves praise in unison: "I haven't eaten anything so good in hundreds of years." ”

I guess the chef will faint with joy when he hears this. But then the dwarf said, "As long as you eat this broth every day, you don't need to prepare anything else." ”

The chef fainted when he heard this.

Elinth's uncle, Locke Diamond, was the "starving" dwarf, and he had obvious characteristics of the diamond family - thicker and shorter than the average dwarf.

"Siegel lad, you can climb to the top. It's one of the dwarves, and I'll tell you straight. The dwarf said, "We know very well that we have been banished, but we have not been discredited of our family honor." When we chose to go west, we were prepared to endure this situation. In fact, it was our ambition to come back alive at the time, and now it has exceeded our expectations. ”

"In my opinion, you are great explorers. Siegel said, "I'm very interested in the west of the Walled Mountains, can you tell me about it?"

The dwarf shook his head, "The family council forbids us to give out details, so it's useless for you to ask. Give us a place to live near the walled mountains, and we'll thank you. ”

"I have a gold mine next to the Saint-Thur Peak, and there are also small towns where I can get the necessities of daily life. In addition to the fact that there are more orc inhabitants, it is a good choice. ”

"Orcs?" the dwarf raised an eyebrow and snorted, "What are orcs? they're already a good race, at least some of them are honest enough to keep their promises." It's up to you to arrange a place for us around there. ”

"But don't go up to St. Ther's Peak, there's a dragon in there. Fearing that the dwarves would misunderstand, Siegel continued, "That dragon and I are allies, not enemies. ”

At the mention of dragons, there was an inexplicable sadness in the dwarf's eyes: "They are all poor animals. "But your territory is really distinctive, orcs, dragons, and us dwarves." If there are gnomes and elves, you will basically have all the intelligent races in the New World. ”

"I really have dwarfs here. Siegel thought of Ding Bao, "Maybe there will be elves in the future." ”

"Don't. Locke shook his head, "They're terrifying!"

Siegel couldn't understand why Locke thought the elves were terrifying, and didn't Ellint get along well with Leah?

It would definitely be a smart move to place this group of dwarves next to the "New Boulder Village". Because of their critical eye and almost obsessive-compulsive hands-on ability, it only took three days to approve the original gold mine design, and many places were demolished and rebuilt. Siegel couldn't bear to tell him that this gold mine was built by the dwarves, but he began to understand in his heart why the Dwarven Council at the Top of Mora had sent them to Heim to get them.

The production capacity of the gold mines continued to rise, and Siegel knew that he would soon become the highest-paid human lord in the New World. Waterdeep's wealth is staggering, but it's been built up by many Masked Lords. But pure gold means little to Siegel. He needs to turn these precious metals into real supplies as soon as possible.

A large number of orders were sent out from Myr, but most were disguised as those of the Mora's Top Gem family, while others were sourced from the Federation in the name of mages. Perhaps it was these riches that caught the attention of the Federation, and the team that built the magic proving ground was finally organized. Siegel asked Akqi to help rent a lot of spell books, and bought some books related to occultism, history, geography, and magic circles, just in time for the mage team to bring them.

There is also a part of the order to the northern steppe. Siegel bought more than thirty horses at a high price in the name of Heim Collar to equip his knights. Naturally, the giant Kerry would not treat his good brother badly, and all the good horses he sent him were rare in the whole south. All other realms require knights to bring their own horses. However, in Siegel's opinion, they could not afford to raise their own horses unless part of the land was given to the knights. So nominally the horses remained Siegel's property, but they were rented to his men, and the rent was loyalty.

Even with this spending, Siegel still saved a lot of gold. He decided to continue to purchase animal skins that could be used to make leather armor, so that the Raven tribe could first restore its status as a commercial center on the grasslands. This order kept the Jackdaw tribe from having nothing to do for a whole year, and the tribe had never been so prosperous as it is now.

And then. Siegel began to purchase spell materials from the Raven Tribe. The Waterdeep Mage Guild often acquires plants and animals to use in potions and spell experiments. However, the price they give is not high. Much lower than the actual value of these materials. Now that the team building the spell testing ground has begun to move south, in order to contain the power of the Knox Guild, Siegel is now starting to prepare.

Especially those materials that can be used to aid mental, emotional, and memory control spells are being snapped up from now on. Even if he can't monopolize these resources, Siegel will push their prices higher. To this end, he also placed a large order with Mora's Peak. Almost all the remaining gold coins are put into it.

Siegel has always had a vague fear that the Knox Commons will bring chaos and even blood to the New World. Although the burden of saving the world is not yet on his shoulders, it is up to him to keep his territory and protect the hard-won environment for learning magic. But it also made him have to take precautions.

As Janet advised him, the biggest insurance for the entire territory is his spell ability, and only the existence of him, a mage, can keep this Heim Territory developing at a high speed without being destroyed. Even now that the city of Myr has been built, the tall castle is impregnable, and the dwarves promise that even an earthquake that can crack the continent will not loosen the bricks on the walls. However, no matter how strong the walls are, they can only protect themselves, and the vast land and the gold mines of Zebra Mountain are outside.

Therefore, Siegel worked hard every day, concentrating on learning magic spells and improving his spell casting skills, and the inhabitants of the realm could often see their lords practicing magic in the clearings, summoning all kinds of mysterious and powerful wonders. Walls of fire or ice came out of nowhere, dirt and rocks changed shape at his will, and a heavy mist could obscure all light, so that those trapped inside couldn't even take a step.

But practicing spells on your own is like swinging a long sword at a target, and it is difficult to make real progress. This didn't change until the arrival of the mage group. (To be continued......)
