A few days later.

"I had to go this time," Siegel said to Janet, "I can't entrust the matter of spells to the mercenaries, who don't know what to look for, let alone how to achieve their goal. ”

Janet also wanted to persuade again, saying that her body is now very stable and has not been deformed for a long time, and maybe she will slowly heal like this.

Siegel shook his head: "I can't take this risk, it's better to solve it early." You're not just your own, you're Isaac's. ”

He helped Janet to sit in the chair in the study, the soft cushions of their own sense, and immediately began to radiate a pleasant heat outward.

It's been a different place since Siegel came back. Siegel spends a great deal of time on the dark red wooden bookcase, each bookmarked and interspersed with parchment summaries scattered between the pages. The more he grows up in adventure, the more Siegel discovers his knowledge deficiencies, and the more desperately he reads.

All of the books basically have the same appearance, with black squid markings on the ocean blue cover. Siegel constantly used the art of writing, frantically copying a large amount of material from the library in order to expand his library. Many of them are not spell books, but they are very helpful for Siegel to improve his knowledge and lay an important foundation for learning spells.

In addition to reading, he used every opportunity to practice spells, so everything in the study became the target of Siegel's experimental spells. A mat that dissipates temperature, a chair that adjusts height, a fireplace that can be lit by just clapping your hands, and a duster that cleans up the dust yourself. Siegel used a small rune circle in his study, and then used the spell of the energy focusing lens to emit the absorbed elemental power to provide energy to these small runes.

Only Janet can come in here. Modisty could have done it too. But Siegel found that she was always trying to take the contents of the study. Move back to your "lair". This is the nature of dragons, Siegel is not surprised, but many things are still being experimented with, and he does not want to divulge the secrets of such spells for the time being. He offered to help the dragon girl decorate the room, but Modestus shook her head vigorously and refused in a panic.

Then she didn't come back to the study to get anything.

Siegel's efforts are obvious, but even then he has not been able to find a solution to Janet's problems here, and he must continue to work hard. Take your thoughts away from the objects around you. Janet saw Siegel standing by the stove, stirring the fire with a long iron rod. His voice drifted slowly, and he could hear the helplessness contained in it. "What is happening to you is very tricky, and finding this spell book is the only hope at the moment. Blood magic is not the result of a whim, like the Rune Elemental Array, but has undergone hundreds of years of continuous development. I couldn't deduce a solution out of thin air, and I couldn't afford to spend time or difficulty, so I had to hope to find the spell book. ”

He put down the stick, sat down on the couch across from Janet, leaned over to take her hands, and said, "I sent Moore out the other day to the top of Mora to find help. The dwarven temple has several high-ranking priests. It is said that you can communicate with the gods, and there may be a way to heal you. But the adamantite gates of the Top of Mora are completely closed. There is only one rune image that keeps repeating in Dwarven and lingua franca, 'The country is closed, no reception'. Master Leah travels to the Elven Forest, where her father is a great druid who communicates with nature and also has healing powers. But more than a month has passed, and there has been no news. ”

Siegel's skin began to burn, as if it were a fever. Janet tried to pull her hand out and touch Siegel's forehead, but was grabbed by the mage. "Don't worry, it's just a fluctuation of magic. A lot of times magic is like it's alive, gradually changing everything around it. I know this power, so I understand what kind of devil lurks within you. ”

"Don't worry about me, I'm tired. Janet tried to squeeze out a smile, but her eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry, I'm measured. Siegel leaned back, sunk himself in his chair, and said to Janet in a trembling voice, "You know, at the end of the day, I found myself on my own. I can't watch you being controlled by the devil's blood. Such a sight...... Did you know, just yesterday, I managed to summon a bone demon from Purgatory? ”

Janet stood up jerkily, feeling her heart pounding and the veins in her forehead bulging out. Hold your hands on your chest, adjust your breathing according to the priest's method, and pray to Mother Earth to calm down. "What a dangerous thing you've done, you know?"

Siegel held out a finger and placed it on Janet's lips, "I'm under the protection of the spell, and there will be no danger. I met the Bone Demon, an evil and terrible monster. He attacked as soon as he saw me, with no strategy, only mad hatred, and no way to communicate. I watched as it lunged through the spell barrier until it was over and sent back to purgatory. I can't let you be like that!"

Janet wanted to speak, but she knew that Siegel would be on her way no matter what. The mage moved forward step by step, his speed so fast that everything around him seemed to be pulling him backwards, and he was one of them.

Siegel noticed the emotion in the kitten's eyes, which was sadness and self-blame. "Janet, all of this is just a test for me, as if I had just set foot on a new continent and faced the unknown adventure. No one can always have smooth sailing, and we're not desperate this time, so you have to be happy. Take care of Isaac and raise him for nothing, then I can rest assured outside. ”

Jenny nodded, she still had children, so she still had to keep going. "Who is on the road with you this time. ”

"Moore is definitely going to take it, the others can't help much, and I need to train him too. ”

Janet thought about it, and there really weren't many options. Manna and Hum still have to guard the territory, Modesty doesn't even bother to go out of the door of the room except to tease Isaac, the elf Leah is gone, and the dwarf Locke lives in the passage.

"Would you like to let Red go with you? Janet said, "He's got a lot of strength." It is also able to treat wounds. Isn't that the best travel companion?"

"He needs to take care of your body. Avoid worsening the situation. Siegel said, "I've thought about it, and it's enough for the two of us." Moore's martial arts are already good now, and he can become a knight with a little more training. ”

"I really want to go with you, like in the northern moors. Janet smiled in the memory.

"Isaac needs Mom, and I think he'll summon you soon. As soon as Siegel finished speaking, a baby's cry could be heard in the next room.

When I go out again, I feel very different from before. Even without looking back, Siegel could paint a picture in his mind of the city of Myr fading into the morning mist. He knew he was very different from before. This change has nothing to do with his own magical powers, just because he is a man with a family.

The long dirt road in front of you leads southeast through County Wane and then continues to turn south. After a series of operations, the county of Vanet is now under the protection of the Heim Realm, swearing allegiance and becoming a dependent territory. However, the Hugel family still blessed a great deal of autonomy, and the city of Vaine, which had escaped the damage of the war, was as calm as ever.

A calm path on the road is exactly what Siegel needs, and no one knows the exact time and direction of his departure except to tell Janet, Fezak, and Mana. He and Moore were also light and simple on the road, and the clothes and cloaks on their bodies were the most ordinary styles. The mount under the crotch is also just an ordinary war horse. Although the Phantom Pony is easy to use, it is easy to reveal his identity as a mage. In the south. There are only a handful of mages, and he can easily be targeted by those who have a heart.

In order not to be recognized, he also made a transfiguration, changed the color of his obvious black hair and eyes, and used a dark brown beard to make himself look older. Janet put on Siegel's makeup, making a scar from his right eyebrow to the corner of his mouth, which looks very hideous. "It looks mighty, and maybe it will scare off a lot of thieves," Janet said with a laugh.

Under the layers of camouflage, it is unusually sophisticated equipment. Siegel wore a mage breastplate, the spoils of the battle from Felton, and a ring of iridescent orbs on his hand. The Stardust Sword and Sharpblade Gauntlet hung from one side, the obsidian dagger was hidden in the soft boots, and the dwarven belt was hung with a space bag containing a large number of scrolls. In addition to this, he also carries defensive bracers that are specifically aimed at long-range weapons such as arrows, and once a day the amulet on his chest can summon two large elements as guards at any time, and once the horn on his waist blows, it can deafen enemies within a hundred meters of him, causing them to lose their balance and fall to the ground.

Morr's equipment was no slouch either, leather armor made of red dragon skin was effective against weapons and fire under the cover of a common chain mail, his shield looked old, but he could float to fend off attacks at the slightest command, and with a longbow in his hand, he could see into the distance, even in the dark. Moore's longsword looks ordinary, but it is actually a magnet modification, and the runes on it can be activated using the secret words, and this longsword can attract the enemy's metal weapons, bringing an advantage in battle.

As an acolyte, Moore was also given a space bag containing supplies along the way. They are mercenaries and are working for the Heim Territory. Since the closure of the gates at the Top of Mora, most of the major mercenary groups that originally relied on this dwarven kingdom to operate in the city wall mountain range have now moved to the Heim Territory. In particular, the first group of people to come have made many achievements under the leadership of "orc warriors" and "beautiful generals", and many of them became knights, which changed their social status from then on. Some people were given their own land and were exempted from agricultural taxes for three generations. Every year, in addition to serving the lord loyally, the rest of the time belongs to himself, which is the envy of the other mercenaries.

Coupled with the fact that Myr City is stuck on the Ore Avenue, all southern caravans need to pass through here to get to the Cloak Avenue, and the caravans need to hire guards, which brings job opportunities for the mercenaries. So soon Mir City became a paradise for mercenaries, and for this reason, Fezak and Huck specially sent people to maintain order, which greatly increased the strength of the Heim Territory. The two mercenaries brought out of Heim are on a mission to earn money, which is too ordinary to arouse the suspicion of others at all. (To be continued......)

PS: At the end of the month, everyone has a lot of support. It's been a long time since I've been here, so sad......
