Not long after Janet left, Siegel unexpectedly felt the fluctuations caused by the magic spell, and the location was just outside the gate of his residence. He concentrated, discerning the characteristics of teleportation from the fluctuations. In Waterdeep, only registered mages of the Federation can cast spells, especially teleportation spells such as any door. I don't know which mage came to visit, Siegel grabbed his wand and walked out before Mrs. Deepp could open the door.

Coming to the door was an acquaintance, Master Akqi of the Federation. He still touched his eyebrows with his right hand together, and made a mage salute. "Master Siegel, Master Faranis has summoned you again, please hurry. ”

"That's fine, I'll go right away. Siegel nodded, knowing that the appointed moment was coming and that the Bachelor would be at the end of his life. He instructed Mrs. Deepp to continue preparing according to the original plan and not to wait for him. After saying that, he asked Master Akqi to perform a teleportation spell and bring himself into the Three Peaks Pagoda.

Unlike the last time they came, a group of young apprentice mages had gathered in the clearing outside the Three Peaks Tower, and they were surrounding a formal mage to ask questions. Originally, this kind of behavior mostly occurred in the discussion rooms of study salons or knowledge towers, and never appeared in open outdoor venues. For both privacy and security reasons, such behavior will affect other mages. Siegel felt a little strange until he noticed that the mage who was lecturing had no hair and a looming swirl tattoo on his bare head.

"The Witch of the Knox Society...... Mage," Siegel frowned, not expecting them to integrate into the Federation so quickly. For them. Siegel has always been wary. I am afraid that they will affect my thinking and memory. Fortunately, all of the Knox Fellowship mages who clashed with him are dead. The mysterious alchemist of Macabda does not know what Siegel really looks like, so it should not cause subsequent trouble.

"Are they in charge of the apprentice salon now?" Siegel asked curiously.

"No, how could it be. Akqi smiled and shook his head: "It is the pleasure of all mages to discover the genius of spellcasting from the basic apprentices, how can these newcomers be allowed to interfere." However, for the apprentices who have already been screened, it is possible to let them teach, and it also saves other people's time and energy. ”

Siegel shook his head, no one would listen to it, even if he said anything. He flicked his robe, and under the guidance of Akzi, he easily found Master Falanese.

The spirit of the master looks good. He was enjoying shisha while talking to Alexander, the Lion King. Siegel stood respectfully outside the door and waited, only to see the Doctor beckoning him to enter.

"Siegel, you know Alexander," said the Bo Scholar, shaking his palms like a child, in a joking tone, "that is, the Lion King......"

"I've seen two archmages. Siegel saluted respectfully and kept his demeanor good.

"I have a good thing to tell you. Faranise smiled and said, "We're going to build a new library with a magic lab. In Deep Water City, if you want to expand the federation and mobilize the people, the effect will not be good. Don't you have a territory? Give us a piece and build a new laboratory. ”

"That's really good news. Siegel said heartily, "I haven't been to the territory yet." The situation of the topography is not clear. However, I can guarantee that I will pick a good spot for the Federation's new territory. ”

"Alexander will take care of this, including the materials used in the construction and everything. When William returned, he asked him to help establish a connection between the two places, either by using carrier pigeons or ravens, so that information could be passed on to each other in a timely manner. ”

"Don't worry, teacher. Master Alexander said.

"Alright, I haven't actually taught you a single spell, so I'm not your teacher. The Bo put down his hookah, waved his wand, and summoned a bundle of scrolls from his shelf. "Alright, let's get these things and leave, I have something to say to Siegel. ”

The Lion King stood up, and the two fingers of his right hand were about to be raised to perform the mage salute, but he suddenly put it down. He leaned down and hugged the doctor tightly, but he was afraid that his strength would hurt the old man's fragile body. At Falanes' urging, Archmage Alexander picked up the scroll and left.

When the door closed, the Pharato began to cough violently, barely breathing properly. His whole body trembled under the vibration of coughing, and he drank a glass of water before he came to his senses. He stroked the beard that was left on his chin and said to Siegel in a self-deprecating tone, "You see, there is no difference between an old mage and an ordinary old man. ”

"As long as you don't cough up a fireball all of a sudden, it's true. Siegel said.

"Ha, I can tell jokes, and that's kind of progress. Archmage Falanese leaned over, gently rubbed the black hair from his head with his hand, and said, "I've become wiser, and I know how to amuse others." ”

If he had done this before, perhaps the old captain would have felt much better when he left. Siegel thought to himself.

"Okay kid, get down to business. The Doctor stopped laughing and said, "I have only three days left to live, and when the first rays of the sun shine at dawn on the fourth day, I will die." This prophecy is probably the pinnacle of prophecy spells in my life, and nothing has ever been so clear and certain. ”

"I'm sorry. "I'm sad to hear that," Siegel said. ”

"Fart!" Bachelor Bo laughed and scolded, "You have nothing to be sorry for, and you didn't kill me." Besides, there's nothing to be sad about. I've seen it with spells, and after death, I can walk through the Wall of Storms and reach the Holy White Library and sit next to the God of Knowledge. My questions can be answered, and my research never stops. I'm very happy to get this end. If it weren't for the fear of breaking the prerequisites of the prophecy, I would even think I'd die right now!"

"But if you call me, something must happen. Siegel was very clear-headed, and asked in a gentle tone, "What do you need me to do?"

"No, I don't. The doctor replied, "If I leave the work to you, it is better for me to send Alexander to run errands, which is convenient and easy to use." I called you here just to take up three days of your time. During this time, you can only stay here honestly and listen to me speak to you. ”

Siegel stood up and walked up and down the room, then stood in front of the window and stared out after a while. Protected by spells, there is no view of Waterdeep from here, only darkness as deep as a starless night sky. He thought about it for a while, then he looked back at Master Faranis, and said, "My friends are going to be all right, right?"

"They won't do anything but think about where you've been for the past three days. The Doctor replied, "You can consider that this place is very good, and that your fellow who cares about you deserves more praise." But don't worry, I'm not trying to trap you that you have to stay. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. There are many possibilities for the future, but none of them are for me to hurt you. Because in a way, I'm still dependent on you. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You've always been wary of the Knox Commons and don't trust them, have you?"

Siegel nodded, there was nothing bad to admit.

"Did you know that after my death, Archmage Casper will be promoted to Master and become one of the giants of the Tri-Peaks Tower?"

The young mage shook his head, he didn't have the ability to peek into the future, so naturally he had no way of knowing.

"I have a concern that Alexander is smart enough, but he is too straightforward. William is too impetuous and cynical. Caspar is a scheming person, and he is also very strong in spells, making him a powerful character. Although his position of strength is worthy of being a master, the future of the federation is uncertain because of it. ”

"That's why you're going to build a new meeting place on my territory?" Siegel asked, "That's what you said last time, helping the Mage Guild preserve books and knowledge?"

"You didn't forget your promise, it's good. Bo Scholar nodded: "A few mages who share my concerns will accomplish this, you just need to provide the land and control the situation on the surface." Na, a mage lord, hasn't been seen in a long time. ”

Siegel smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. "I will facilitate the Mage Federation, and at the same time watch out for the actions of the Society. ”

"Very well, then I can talk to you about the next thing. Archmage Faranis said to Siegel very solemnly, "During these three days, I will not call you any spells or anything related to occultism. I'm going to tell you what a school mage must know: Territory Management. ”

"I'm listening. ”

The title of Ph.D. does not come out of nowhere, in addition to accumulating a lot of knowledge, it also requires the integration of them. Even though the Mage's Guild focused on the development of spells and the promotion of magical applications, unlike the Academy's services to non-spellcasters (those with money or power), Archmage Falanese asked the Academy for their knowledge of the auxiliary lords to add to his knowledge base. Since Siegel needs to protect the new site of the Federation in his territory, it is better to tell him how to be a lord.

Three days is a very short time, so I can only talk about the most important knowledge. The old man did not stop for a moment, but replenished his energy with red wine, and miraculously did not see sleepiness and hunger. Siegel did the same, and with his strong stamina and the snacks in the room, he didn't waste any time. When he went to the bathroom, Siegel sat beside the doctor, watching the records he took out, listening to his gushing speeches, sleepless, and studying hard. (To be continued......)
