After the conversation at the Stormy Night Inn, when the Anti-Detection Barrier was removed, William turned back into the cynical Archmage who "hung around" all day. He hides his thoughts and thoughts deep under this mask, and only shows the wrong impression to others.

Which state is real, or is it just another face of Archmage William in that conversation? After all, he is known for his shapeshifting abilities, and his ability to control his body's appearance, limbs, and muscles is unmatched. Siegel chewed on what others had said, hoping to tell the difference between sweet water and dross like he could eat sugar cane, but things were not as simple as he thought.

After another three days in Creekwood, the dwarves of Mora's Top arrived. As one of the organizers of the conference, the top of Mora sent a team of sixty people from the cloak avenue. They use giant lizards to pull carts and arrange for heavily armed soldiers to guard them.

Creekwood is far from the top of Mora, but the people here have heard of the power and beauty of the dwarves. They didn't know that the dwarves had suffered heavy losses in the battle with the goblin world, only that the humans had barely drawn in the battle with the elves, and the dwarves were still strong, so they came out to watch the dwarves' ranks. They were thrilled by the giant lizards that were a specialty of the Walled Mountains, and even more so by the elite soldiers armed with dwarven spears and axes.

Only Siegel and William could see clearly: there were few dwarven elders in this team, and the oldest age level was only middle-aged, that is, about two hundred years old. In dwarven society, people of this age should be the main force of warriors, but they are too young to be envoys.

They are also not the most well-equipped, and they can't even do it that everyone has magic armor. There are also a lot of weapons that are just ordinary delicacy. It's not a magic weapon. But whether this is the real situation is still only a façade. Siegel wasn't quite sure. Given the current tensions between Mora's Peak and Heim Realm, both are possible.

They stopped outside the walls of Creekwood, but the lizard knights didn't come down. A red-bearded dwarf in the lead solemnly took out a horn wrapped in red cloth from the burden behind his back, put it to his mouth and blew it vigorously. The sound of the horn is very loud, but the pitch is extremely low. The dwarves used more and more force, and the sound of the horn became lower and lower, and then the human ears could not hear it.

Siegel could feel the vibrations of the elements in the air, so he knew that the horn was still coming out. This shock does not react to the ground. But when it reaches the surface of the water, it resonates with the water element. The power of the waves and the waves also joined, making the shock stronger and spread farther.

Not long after, another trumpet sounded over the horizon, rhythmically changing, as if it were talking. The dwarf at the top of Mora stopped blowing his trumpet, wrapped his horn in red cloth again, and solemnly put it up. They bypassed the town's gate and walked towards the cliff on the north side of Creek Town.

Siegel also heard movement at the end of the sea, so he looked over. In the middle of the water. An island-like behemoth is rising from the bottom of the water. "Damn dwarves!no wonder I couldn't find it, it turned out that the unsinkable stone boat was underwater!!, we were completely misled by its name!" muttered Archmage William.

Just because you don't sink doesn't mean you have to float. Siegel thought in his head, but he didn't have to say it, didn't he think of this possibility? The unsinkable stone boat must have stayed underwater all year round, like a moving coral reef. Now that it has surfaced, you can see corals, anemones, starfish and other creatures cascading on the surface. With a large amount of water flowing down the uneven surface, the clever fish seized this last chance to escape by water. Siegel saw a shark stranded on a coral reef and struggled to the death, leaving countless bleeding wounds on its body from the broken coral.

Right next to the struggling shark, Siegel saw four dwarves carrying a horn more than three meters long, and the dwarf blowing the horn was "stocky and heavy." There is no better adjective to describe this dwarf, and I believe that only that size can blow this behemoth.

The unsinkable stone boat has no sails, but it is not slow at all in the water. As he approached the shore, Siegel saw dwarves walking up to top of it one after another, beginning to deal with the trapped sea creatures. They threw most of the fish back into the water and cleared a passage with pickaxes and shovels.

It was only when he got closer that Siegel could see the buildings on the island. There are two protruding castles built on the unsinkable stone boat, and although they are not very tall, they are still in the dwarven style of sturdy, thick architecture. Ships that operate underwater will certainly not have windows that can be opened, and the dwarves have installed clear crystals as viewing ports in the castle, and dwarven craftsmen are now responsible for cleaning up the creatures attached to them.

Ignoring the undulations of the coastline, the unsinkable boat rushed over the reef and seabed along the way. The waves it set off weren't a big deal, and Creekwood's near-circular harbor was able to hold out most of the waves. However, the shaking of the island against the ground is not so easy to handle, it is almost a small earthquake.

The houses in Creekwood are relatively sturdy to withstand the sea breeze, but the double-decker harbor built on the cliff is dotted with cranes that dangled from the earthquake, causing the boom to shake off the weights. The people in the harbor on the ground floor shouted, "Get out of the way!" and the man who operated the boom pulled upwards with all his might, hoping to quickly put the cargo away.

But the unexpected happened. As the unsinkable stone boat slammed into the New World, the entire town of Creek shook violently. A large number of unsecured objects fell from the cliffs, not only the goods on the boom, but even the winch cranes began to fall. William flapped his arms, conjured two pairs of wings of different colors, and flew over at great speed, rushing towards the bottom harbor to protect the people there. Siegel also soared into the air, summoning a large group of small gas elementals to pounce on him.

Two archmages join forces, one smashing falling objects in the air, and the other supporting a protective barrier below. The fall caused by the earthquake caused the town of Ximu to lose a lot of goods, but not lives. Some abrasions and fractures are unavoidable, and prompt treatment by a physician or pastor will not leave a disability.

Siegel and William teamed up to perform repairs on some of the damaged facilities. At least let them return to their usual state. They received heartfelt gratitude from the townspeople. By the way, the two of them did some publicity for the Heim Collar and the Mage Federation. Everyone likes the name of the federation. But when it comes to Heim's Territory, it has attracted a lot of controversy.

"Rabbit Harbour to the south has stolen a lot of business, and many ships have stopped docking here. They commented, "I heard that the rabbits have made a fortune, but we poor people can only suffer here." ”

"Why don't you go to Rabbit Ears Harbor, there has been a shortage of people there with the rise of the Heim Territory. "Siegel didn't dare to claim to be the lord of the Heim Lord.

"There is an opportunity to make money there, but what about the family?" someone replied: "People can go there, but what about the land, just throw it here?" and another said: "Even if there is no land, it is not easy for the whole family to live well." Young people who don't have a family yet can break in. But most people can't go. ”

But it was the words of an old man that alerted Siegel the most. "I heard that the Grand Earl of Haim is building some magical wonders, saying that he wants to connect the old and new continents, and there will be no need for sea ships to transport them in the future. What can we coolies do and continue without work? At least there are ships that need us here. ”

Siegel walked silently to the cliff and stared at the behemoth built by the dwarves on the sea. The words of the residents of Ximu Town are very reasonable, and it is impossible for people's lives to change so quickly. The Teleportation Array is indeed a step forward in magic, and will transform the Heim Collar with a whole new power. But people don't change as quickly as spells, and while speeding up the construction of Heim's magic, are they destined to sacrifice the happy life of one or even two generations?

This is different from the goblin musket weapon. War is life and death, and if you don't adapt to it as soon as possible. There will be nothing left but a sad sigh. The purpose of the teleportation array is to allow the Heim Territory to have influence in the Old World, mainly in the Starry Kingdom. At the same time, it shows that the Federation is at the forefront of spell research. While reaping huge benefits, it is also necessary to think about who has lost in the process.

The chain teleportation array must be built, and its advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, but it does not mean that the existence of disadvantages can be ignored. Unlike the teleportation arrays of Mire City and Rabbit Ear Harbor, which replaced the already insignificant land transportation, the cross-sea teleportation arrays affected the already thriving and large-scale shipping. How many captains who don't have a job to do will go to pirates, and those teleportation array transit points in the middle of the ocean must not constantly face their invasion and destruction?

There is a need to find a way to cushion the negative impact of this magical project on the various industries of the Heim Realm, just like asking the knights of the realm to study the tactical methods of pure long-range warfare in advance.

"Siegel, what are you thinking, it's time to get on board. William flew up to him, folded his wings and said. "If you encounter a dwarf at the top of Mora, I'll help you block it. You're not only the lord of the Heim Realm, but also the archmage of our Federation! What if you're even the Dwarven King? Not to mention that the Peak of Mora is only a part of the Dwarven realm. ”

"Thanks, I need to write an order to bring back to the knights. They couldn't get on the ship, but they did. If you can, you can wait for me a while. ”

"Okay, you get busy first, I'll go to the docks and have a look. After the Knox Guild is gone, there will be no administrators here, and the few elders selected by everyone will not be at all responsible for it, and they will not dare to go to the dwarves to ask for compensation!" William shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly: "But even if the dwarves don't care, I can't help as a human." Since you happen to have something to do, I'm going to give them some reinforcement of the buildings here. ”

William shook his hand and strode to the cliff pier again. Siegel called his attendants, told them to prepare pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Isaac. In Siegel's absence, Isaac was the lord of Myr and the knights of Heim's lordship.

Little Isaac couldn't read the letter, of course, but it could only be addressed to him - Janet and Manna would have to worry about it when it was executed.

The construction of the cross-sea teleportation array still needs to ensure the construction period and quality, and now there is a new task: to publicize that although the cross-sea teleportation array is fast, the transportation volume is very limited, and the cost is also very expensive, so that the shipowners of the freight can rest assured. At the same time, the cost of using the teleportation array has been greatly increased, so that only those goods who are very concerned about the speed of transportation can afford to pay for this cost.

Let everyone have a process of acceptance and adaptation, but also hide the real strength - this is much better than the initial plan. (To be continued.) )
