When the Elemental Rune Circle and the Energy Focusing Lens were back in operation, everything was different in Myr City.

With the help of the Myr Core, summoning elemental creatures became a matter of almost no cost, and Siegel only needed a single thought to create an elemental squad. With the help of the positioning and delivery ability of the Energy Focusing Lens, this elemental team can instantly appear anywhere in the territory and execute defensive or offensive commands.

The only obstacle that limits the size of the elemental team is the energy conflict between elemental beings, never the concentration and quantity of elements.

Elves are able to use their circle to create elemental surges, and with the help of the Myr Core, Siegel is theoretically able to do the same. However, after such a surge is generated, this energy core will also be destroyed, so Siegel uses the energy requirement of the elemental surge as the upper limit of this circle. He had seen the power of the Elemental Surge in the Misty Swamp, and according to his calculations, it was possible for his Myr Core to create a giant element.

The Giant Elemental should be over fifteen meters tall, and it might be even larger if it was an Air elemental. Such an elemental already had the power to directly destroy a castle, and even the rune walls of Myr City could not withstand a few attacks. If the Myr Core is built during the Elven Wars, then all of the War Trees and Elven armies will not be taken into account by Siegel. Only spellcasters can pose a real threat.

However, on second thought, the mage realized that the giant element might not be difficult to make, but it was a bit whimsical to control. The more the elements are gathered, the more they take on the character that the elements represent: violent and intensely aggressive. These are the characteristics of the four cardinal elemental planes, and they attack all strayed travelers without discrimination, with no mercy or mercy at all. Once a mega element is created, perhaps the first victim to be Myr City itself.

In fact, the four-meter-tall and nine-meter-tall super-large elements have begun to give birth to self-awareness, and they are no longer simply repeating their swings when fighting. Rather, they are able to choose their own response methods. Oversized elements are sometimes unhappy with orders from their makers, especially for tasks like "defending, guarding, and patrolling" - but if they are allowed to attack, they will be executed flawlessly.

In other words, although there is great potential, there are still too few parts that can be safely used. Elementals aren't the best option for defending a territory after all.

He patted the Mir Core, first letting it slowly expand its area of effect with the help of the Energy Focusing Lens. In addition to protecting the entire castle district, it is also necessary to continue to expand outward. The absorption area of the Elemental Rune Circle is within a radius of fifteen miles, and the effective area of action is only less than two miles in radius. The Energy Focusing Lens doubled the range, but Siegel didn't know how far the Myr Core could envelop it.

Thinking about the repair technique he had just cast, Siegel was confident in the energy core.

He withdrew his attention from the magic circle, only to notice that the entire army of the Heim Command was all watching him, and saluted him with his right hand beating his chest. There was a look of adoration in their eyes, and even a hint of fanaticism. Perhaps they did not understand the meaning of the sun-like rays, and they did not have the knowledge and skills to calculate the increase in the concentration of the elements. But they knew that a wall that could be repaired at any time meant security, and that it meant standing tall in the face of foreign enemies.

This is invincible for ordinary soldiers who have no knowledge of spells.

"Lift martial law, Mana, return to the camp with the soldiers, and reopen the trade routes. "Put signs around here to warn of danger," Siegel said. Especially naughty children, don't let them get close to Myrcan. I don't want to see hurtful incidents. ”

The female knight looked at the iridescent ball of energy. The warrior's instinct made her sense of threat and constantly wanted to retreat. But Siegel was right. For ordinary people, this is a big ball of light. "My lord, do you want to build a fence to prevent anyone from approaching, and will that interfere with the operation of this thing?"

Siegel thought for a moment, then said, "A low wall is a good idea, you can do it." If you really want to break through the cordon and try to get close to the energy ball. Don't worry, let them try, I don't think any of them will succeed. ”

Manna nodded, she liked Siegel's confident appearance so much, as if nothing in the world could stump him. Siegel was about to leave. Manna hurriedly stopped him. Although everyone lives in Myr City, the lords usually spend a lot of time studying spells, and the opportunities to meet each other are actually very short.

"My lord, what will happen if someone gets close to this rainbow ball?" She didn't really care about the final fate of the intruder, she just wanted to say a few more words to Siegel.

"Oh, I'm not sure for sure, it depends on what color he encounters. Siegel looked around, picked up a stone, weighed it, and threw it at the Mir Core. Under the gaze of everyone, the stone kept approaching the rainbow ball, but before it could touch it, a bolt of lightning shot out, blasting the stone into powder in the air.

The lightning didn't stop, but shot at Siegel. The mage blocked the female knight who wanted to rush up for protection with one hand, and drew runes in the air with the other. The lightning strikes the protective spell and the energy is absorbed. Except for a burning smell in the air, Siegel was unscathed.

"It's the power that touches lightning, and it could be fire, acid, or something like that. Siegel said: "Now this circle is not fully powerful, so there is no danger in stepping onto the platform." But remember to write it on the warning sign, the brighter the sphere, the more dangerous it is. The best thing to do is not to go to the platform at all. ”

"I remember. Manna said, "My lord, after the magic array is completed, can you take a break and not have to lock yourself in the research room every day?"

Siegel nodded, making the female knight secretly excited. "I'm going to take some time off to regain my fitness and swordsmanship. I had this intention when I came back from the starting castle three months ago, but it has never been implemented. There are a few knights in our city who are good at swordsmanship, and I need to use their skills. ”

"The best swordsman is Evan, this one is recognized by everyone. Manna winked at Siegel and smiled, "But I don't think Lord Lord will go to him to practice swordsmanship, will he?"

"Eliminate him. Siegel said, "Why hasn't he always understood what it means to keep a low profile? Who else but him?"

"Heim has never held a formal tournament, so no one knows for sure. Manna said, "I will bring them to you." Perhaps the lord will be able to give a fair judgment. ”

"Are you going to find a lot of people?" Siegel looked into the eyes of the female knight and was stunned for a moment: "I thought about it again, this doesn't seem like a good idea, maybe I should secretly resume training, and then hold a tournament celebration at the right time." Well, you work hard. I was my sparring partner for a while until Alfred hired another suitable coach. Hum Ke was a good candidate, but his big mouth made me feel uneasy. ”

The right leader is so easy to find, and may never be found. With this in mind, Manna nodded vigorously.

Siegel had nothing else to explain and left Manna busy. He closed his eyes and checked the status of the circle through the control node. At present, the energy focusing lens has covered a radius of fifteen miles, but it is still expanding. Within this range, Heim Territory is extremely difficult to capture. At least the tactics of sending troops to attack head-on do not make any sense. However, a small group of assassins were still able to sneak in, especially the men in black of the God of Murder, whose stealth and shadow jumping abilities were still very good.

What spells other than using a magically capable minion guard like the God of Lights could serve as a warning? Siegel pinched his chin and thought for a moment: maybe it's a good idea to ask Wendy, the protective mage. He then thought of the female mage who had activated the circle with him, and then found her sitting on the ground, motionless looking at the iridescent balls on the circle.

Wendy witnessed the entire process of the spell taking effect, and is now calculating the energy level of the Myr Core. The estimated numbers were staggering, and she was a little incredulous. So I started all over again.

Siegel walked up to her, footsteps waking her up from her musings. Wendy jumped up from the ground at once. Looking at Siegel with a frown, his voice was fast and urgent: "Your magic circle is actually stronger than the mana pool of the Three Peaks Tower, how did you do it?"

"I haven't seen the mana pool of the Three-Peak Tower, so I can't answer your question. Siegel said, "As for the secrets of the spell, I can't tell you now, especially not like that. ”

"I want to learn this spell. Can I worship you as a teacher?" Wendy said: "I will dedicate my loyalty and ability in exchange for knowledge and teaching, I don't know if it's okay?"

Siegel paused for a moment, then replied, "I only have one apprentice. I haven't thought about accepting disciples yet. And I have to ask you for advice in many aspects, how can I be your teacher?"

"You're always careful, even with your colleagues in the Federation. Wendy said, "Aside from the various questions I ask you, you rarely communicate with everyone, and you are always alone in the lab. The construction of the magic circle this time was originally a good opportunity for us surviving union mages to unite and improve in spells together. But as a result, you treat everyone as mercenaries, and you just give us a mission. ”

Siegel painfully found that this statement was not true. It's like issuing a lord's order on a bulletin board, except that the construction of the magic circle is larger and more complicated. He arranged these things as a lord, but not as a mage.

"The magic array of the Three-Peaked Pagoda was built by two archmages and more than forty joint mages, and everyone studied and discussed together, inspired each other, and then there was the Three-Peaked Pagoda. Wendy continued, "We admit that you are amazing, ahead of everyone, and this rainbow ball has the power to usher in a new era of magic, but that is only your strength. Maybe you prefer the atmosphere of the Mage Guild? Researchers are independent in their own magic towers, and communication between people only happens when they are driven by interests? Look at the current Federation, isn't it destroyed by the Mage Guild out of its own interests? This is not the case with the Federation, and we originally hoped that you were not like this. ”

"After Fort Hub, the Mage Guild made a call for us, but we don't trust them anymore. It was a mistake to merge the Knox Guild into the Federation, but it was even more corrupt for the Mage Guild, which the Federation would not be able to save itself. We will never work with them. ”

Wendy raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes, and then said to Siegel, "At that time, everyone looked up, only you could rebuild the federation here, so we came to you." Siegel, I advise you, although you are a lord, don't learn the style of the Mage Guild, everyone will be disgusted and even afraid of you. She pointed to the rainbow ball and said to Siegel, "Especially with it." ”

Siegel's gaze moved back and forth between Wendy and the rainbow ball, weighing the pros and cons. Knowing that the biggest weakness of Mir City is the lack of spellcasters, it would be very stupid to reject the Mage Federation again. However, from Wendy's words, he also learned that it was impossible to recruit mages from the Federation, after all, he was not as attractive as the Mage Guild in any way.

Moreover, Siegel doesn't want an advisor to the school city either.

The school city has sent a letter recommending several consultants. In the letter they stated that these advisors had no talent for spells, but that they could be very useful in helping the lord govern his territory. Through the Academy's advisors, Siegel was able to quickly establish relationships with other territories, greatly reducing the time spent on negotiations and negotiations.

Advisors will swear allegiance to the liege and serve only the interests of the liege. Although there has never been a betrayal of a lord by an advisor in history, Siegel is still not worried about the people sent by the school. The Heim Realm has its own special circumstances, Siegel and Janet have no relatives, and the military power of the realm is based on the loyalty of a few new knights, so it can be said that it does not have the same heritage as the real big territory. Siegel may eventually accept the help of an advisor, but certainly many years later.

The Federation is indeed the best option at the moment, but how can the relationship between the realm and the Federation be reconciled? This has always been a headache for lords and mages alike.

Wendy stared at Siegel, noticing the hesitation in his flickering gaze. Colleagues in the federation have privately agreed that Siegel is the only option for rebuilding the federation at this time. But at the same time, everyone is also worried that Siegel will oppose this matter, firstly, because he has been in the federation for a short time and has always been like an outsider, and on the other hand, he is also a lord and will always put the interests of his own territory first. He doesn't have an urgent need, how can he put in the effort?

The opinion is to collect as much money as possible and start over. Edith, the half-elven mage is now the oldest member of the Federation, and he is willing to help by using his savings from years of building magic towers to establish a new base for the Mage Federation, a "neutral area" outside of Heim's territory.

Wendy remembers that Siegel once said that Edith was a member of the Mage Guild. If Siegel had been told of his proposal, Wendy would have been confident that Siegel would oppose the plan and would go to great lengths to keep the Federation in Heim territory. But the female mage wants to know Siegel's true personality and wants to know his heart. But the hesitation in Siegel's eyes made her gradually discouraged.

How could Siegel know the complicated thoughts that were swirling in the female mage's mind?

"I'm ignoring everyone's thoughts, it's my negligence. Siegel said, "This iridescent orb is called the Myr Core, and I built it to deter enemies and make Heim Territory safer. Can you gather all the colleagues of the Federation, I have some ideas for rebuilding the Federation that I would like to share with you. ”

Wendy took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "I'll help you, Siegel." (To be continued.) )

PS: Myr core, hey, hey, hey. This comes from something quite famous.
