Siegel dissolved the spell, and then he felt paralyzed, so he quickly sat down on the chair next to him. The Reverend Cooper cast a spell on him to relieve fatigue, but it had little effect, and the glass of ale that Sir Bill brought over was much more effective. The mage gulped down the cold, aromatic liquor, foam staining his chin. Taking this opportunity, Siegel thought carefully about the matter of the 100-sided dice, and he finally decided that this matter could only be investigated slowly and not announced to the public.

"What is the Red Shadow Spire, what do the Golden Dragon and the Black Phoenix refer to?" the Count looked at the prophecy written on the paper and said to himself, "Retreating from the plague, could it be that you are talking about the incident before meeting the Blood Mage." Those pathfinders infected with the corpse plague are a warning to us? He swept past Reverend Cooper, then Sir Bill, and finally fixed his gaze on Siegel.

"What do you think, Mr. Baron?"

Siegel shook his head, he had fulfilled his earlier promise and didn't want to waste more energy on this matter. Moreover, it is inherently difficult to interpret prophecy, and most of the time it is only at the end of the day that we understand what the prophecy meant.

"I'm not Master Liel, and prophecy isn't my specialty. I'm sorry Mr. Earl, there's nothing I can do. ”

Count Todd was not upset by the rejection, and when he knew the content of the prophecy, he refocused his attention on His Royal Highness. Aaron, who had drunk the sleeping potions, was now sleeping soundly, but when he woke up, he was afraid that he would have a terrible headache.

Siegel didn't do much to treat this headache, and the professional things were left to the professionals. He happened to see Evan and noticed that the swordsman had a strange expression. Evan leaned against the wall. There is no focus in the eyes that are opened. A hand rubbed unconsciously on the golden stubble of his chin. What was he thinking? Siegel was curious.

Maybe Evan can help find information about 100 dice. After all, he was the illegitimate son of the king, and it was more convenient to move around the capital. But then Siegel thought about his own dice, and whether the dice really brought bad luck to those who were not its owners.

Hundred-faced dice, Siegel wondered in his heart, what is the purpose of things?

For a while, the room was silent, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts. At this time, the sound of a horn came from outside the castle, and "woo woo woo" kept ringing. "Damn it. Who broke the order and blew the horn? Don't you know to be silent?"

Before the words fell, there was a second voice outside. When the alarm bell is sounded, it can only mean that there is a great danger coming. Earl Todd and Sir Bill's faces changed, and they left only one sentence, "Evan, guard His Royal Highness!" and they dragged the Reverend Cooper out of the house. The sound of the horn reverberated through the castle and was impossible for anyone to miss. Even His Royal Highness the Prince opened his sleepy eyes and struggled to sit up. He looked at the two men in the room in confusion, covering his head with one hand.

"My head is so uncomfortable," said His Royal Highness the Prince, "it is as if someone was ringing the bell and blowing the trumpet inside." ”

"It wasn't a headache. Evan replied, "The bells and trumpets are ringing." ”

"Is there an enemy coming?" asked Prince Aaron. Both Evan and Siegel nodded. "Grab me a glass of red wine and put on my armor. Even if you can't be on the front line of killing. I can't die in bed in silk pajamas either. ”

"Evan, you help your brother, I need to contact the pet. Siegel concentrated, calling out to Baron the raven from the depths of his heart. He kept the pet outside the castle as a guard against the priest. It keeps an eye on the castle and is ready to cast its illusions at any moment. As long as the orcs on the mountain road are still there, then the demon pet has enough deterrent power outside.

Baron received the order and jumped out of the hollow in the tree where he was hiding, and then he saw an incredible sight: more than fifty dragons of different colors were flying from south to north over the walled mountains, and they cast huge black shadows on the snow, and both small animals and orcs scattered in these shadows. Most of the dragons are yellow, with some golden and orange-yellow, and some silver-white and off-white. Siegel knows relatively little about dragons, they are the golden dragon, the brass dragon, and the silver dragon, and they belong to the kind and simple dragon family. But these dragons didn't attack the orcs down the mountain, and they didn't even look at them a few times, so it was hard for Siegel to guess the purpose of these powerful creatures.

"Dragons, lots of dragons are on top of us. Siegel said to Prince Aaron, "Even if you get dressed and go out, it won't help." ”

Aaron craned his neck, poured red wine into his body, and then staggered to his feet, his feet tangled between the quilt and blanket. He kicked the pile away, pointing at the chain mail hanging on a nearby wall. "My sword!" he said, "when I hold the sword, the power will return!"

Unfortunately, it didn't work out as expected, and His Royal Highness was finally able to hold the sword after the second glass of wine. Evan looked at his brother sadly, and reached out to support his arm. The prince shook his hand and tried to get rid of Evan's help, but finally succumbed to reality and leaned most of his body weight up.

All the knights and priests in the castle were like enemies, and when they saw His Royal Highness standing on the wall, they gathered together. Some of the mountain knights tried to climb to the summit as the first line of defense, but their mounts were all prostrate on the ground in terror, wailing and shaking their scales. If they hadn't been well trained, these six-legged lizards would probably have been running out of and urine long ago.

"At the moment, it seems that the dragons are not interested in us. Siegel squinted his eyes and looked closely, then said to the crowd, "The dragon has other enemies to deal with. ”

"How do you know?" asked Evan.

"You look at their condition, whether it's scales or claws, they're all in peak condition. It was said that there was no damage at all, and I even saw traces of polishing, which means that they were all ready for battle. Siegel analyzed: "In terms of size, these dragons are already more than 20 meters long, which is super large. Have lived for at least 300 years. It is considered a backbone within the dragon family. And it is very rare for the golden, brass, and silver dragons to act at the same time. It looks like they're on a rival. ”

"But," added Siegel, "I don't know what kind of dragon species that silver-gray one belongs to. With that, he withdrew his gaze from the sky, just in time to see Janet waving at him in the distance. It turned out that in order to protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince, the Paladins separated most of the people and did not let them approach the surroundings of His Highness. Janet is a person who is "under heavy surveillance", and the paladin will definitely not let her come.

Pastor Cooper avoided Siegel's gaze, at moments like these. He will not compromise. So the mage repented, left His Highness, squeezed through the knights' lines, and came to Janet's side.

"I was startled when the alarm bell rang just now, and I thought the orcs had hit. Janet lowered her voice and motioned for the mage to listen, "I came out with an eye to see the knights and knights running out, and there was a place where the door was open. I slipped in and found some goodies. ”

"Huh?" Siegel was a little stunned, "just a moment?"

Janet blushed. But he said proudly: "Actually, I've been staring at it for a long time, and I haven't had a chance." Again. I'm strong as a spy. ”

"Don't do anything like that next time. Siegel said, "Let's take a look this time, and if there is something they don't use, we can use it first." ”

"Follow me. Janet smiled and said, "Actually, it's all things they don't use." ”

Under the orders of Count Todd, the alarm bells and horns in the castle were silenced, and everyone waited quietly for the dragon to fly out of view. Many people prayed that these legendary beasts would not look back, and that they would never be interested in the castles on earth. While everyone was looking up at the sky or whispering to each other, Siegel followed Janet back to the castle. They walked through the hall and into a small room in the tower where weapons were stored. It's only two meters square, has no windows, and is lit entirely by Siegel's light spells. There were some unfeathered shafts hanging on the walls, and more than thirty short poles were stacked in the corners, while the metal tips used as spear heads were wrapped in cloth and placed on a shelf on the other side of the wall. Janet closed the door and pulled out a half-human-tall hemp bag from behind the door. The weight of the things inside is not light, and when they hit each other, they make a popping sound.

"These are the pieces of equipment brought by the Temple of Dawn and the Mountain Knights, but they don't seem to have intended to distribute them to the Lord Sirs, and they're all piled up in the vault. Janet squinted her eyes and said, "I don't have much either, just while no one finds such a sack." ”

"If you were given enough strength, you'd finish moving their stuff, wouldn't you?" asked Siegel with a smile.

"That's nature. Janet was not shy about it: "Who told them to frame me as a devil?"

If it's a paladin's sword or mount equipment, Siegel will definitely send it all back. But wouldn't it be a waste of the ashes piled up in the warehouse if they weren't used?," Siegel and Janet snickered as they opened the bag and took out the items one by one.

A long sword was specially taken out by Janet, with a beautiful scabbard and a gem-encrusted hilt. "I gave it to you. Janet said, "Your sword is full of scars, and it's time to get a new one." ”

Siegel drew his sword and looked at it carefully. "It's a pretty good weapon, and I can feel the magic flowing through it. But this is not the divine power of the Lord of Dawn, it is definitely made by a mage like me. I'll break down the spell above, and I should know more about its origins. ”

"I have a good eye, don't I?" Janet waited for Siegel to compliment, but was kissed by the mage on the cheek.

"Don't do a surprise attack. Janet wiped the saliva from her face, "Look at the loot first!"

Although he knew that these were stolen goods, Siegel was reluctant to change Janet's "trophies" statement. He swapped the sword he had found from Makabuda with the magic sword, and placed the new weapon on his belt.

In the bag was a long dagger, almost as long as a short sword, which Janet had prepared for herself, as well as a sling, two boxes of delicate projectiles, and a pair of beautiful hand guards, which served as much as an arm shield. Unfortunately, there were no darts or daggers here, as they were the weapons that Janet was familiar with.

"I found a folding bow that looked very interesting, and I didn't know how to use it, but I got it anyway. Janet pulled out a bunch of intricate components like a treasure, and after a few fiddling with them, it did look like a compound longbow. However, I don't know where the mechanism is, so the shape of the bow is never fixed. Siegel took it and tried a few times, but couldn't find the trick. The parts are still the same pair of parts, and there is no intention to become a longbow.

"It's the first time I've seen this weapon. Siegel said, "I always thought I had seen all the equipment from the dwarf Irling. ”

"Don't worry, there's still good stuff. Janet said: "I saw a lot of bottles and jars there, but I could only make out two of them. One is a healing ointment, which is applied to the wound to stop bleeding and recover, and the other is a sharp edge oil, which can be applied to the weapon to enhance penetration. How about three bottles each?"

The mage nodded, looking at the remaining bottles. "That's what you picked up?"

"Can you tell what they're used for?"

"It's going to take me time. Siegel said. "Preparing a spell to identify an object requires a quiet and secluded place, did you know there?"

"I'm afraid it's hard. Janet shook her head: "I found that the paladins have increased their vigilance, whether it is patrolling or searching more frequently than before. Unless you tell them to let the paladins guard you, there's no quiet place at all, let alone a secret. ”

"Forget it. Siegel said, "What's in the bag?"

"A few pieces of incense with a strange sweet smell, the same smell as in Pastor Cooper's stove a few days ago, and I brought them with me, which I liked. Janet said, "Don't worry, I'll use it after we're separated from Pastor Dawn, and they won't notice the smell." ”

"It's not for dressing," Siegel chuckled, "it's meditation incense, it's for enhancing communication between priests and gods, but it's just of some use for clergy. Any pastor would be willing to spend money on this incense, and the sales are still good. ”

"How do you know?"

"I was a seaman, have you forgotten?" said Siegel, "which goods are valuable, this is something I must keep in mind." ”

"Then you sold it. Janet slipped the incense into Siegel's hand and said, "I know it costs a lot of money to learn spells. ”

"No, I'll leave it with you. Siegel said, "Smelling your scent can help me improve the effectiveness of my spell practice." ”

"I won't believe you!" retorted Janet as she put away the incense.

The contents of the bag were emptied, and Janet suggested going again in the evening. "I saw a couple of chainmails. She said. Siegel nodded: "You should find yourself a piece of armor, I can help you cut it according to your figure." ”

At this moment, the sound of dense footsteps came from the steps of the Arrow Tower, accompanied by the sound of panting. The two men hurriedly hid their weapons with cloaks or cloaks so that no one could see them. Janet was tactful and pressed her ears to the door.

"What are they talking about?, the dragon landed in the yard?" said the kitten with a surprised expression. (To be continued......)
