Twenty Sided Dice

"Never go to the prayers and services of the Solidarity." After saying this, the dwarf boss Jagger held the cup in both hands and gulped down the ale. He breathed a sigh of relief, as if someone who was about to drown returned to the surface, regaining his freedom and safety.

"What is Solidarity? A religious group?" Anomen asked.

"No, it's a neighborhood mutual aid agency." Jager's mouth crooked, and a helpless smile appeared on his way: "Those who participate in the Solidarity Association must obey the order and help each other. The advanced drives the backward, and everyone must work in unison for a new life. Work hard. We must defend together against foreign enemies, just like deer will gather around when they encounter predators, and turn all their antlers to the outside."

"Hey, it sounds very reasonable." Evan said, "Isn't this all about helping each other."

"I thought that was the case at first too, but somehow the Solidarity Society became strange, probably with more slogans, uniforms and constant learning. The first people to join the Solidarity Society became strong and unaffected. People are bullying, so more and more people are joining, and even the lord of Kaibu Town is enthusiastically participating."

"After that, everyone started to go crazy. In order to highlight everyone's contribution and value, everyone called each other by title. The lord baron became a duke because he had the responsibility and obligation to lead the people and set an example for the people of the territory. The best The manure digger is an earl, a marquis who raises horses, and a viscount who grows radishes. Even I have to have the title of earl to continue to operate Nanhaiwang. Damn, this is Nanhaiwang, not a Nanhaiwang castle!"

"I don't understand." Evan scratched his head: "Jie, do you know why this happened?"

Siegel shook his head and said he didn't know. There was no large-scale magic fluctuation around Kaibu Town, and there was no trace of the mind control magic of the Knox Common Society. Could someone achieve this with just words and some code of conduct? Kaibu Town was full of strangeness, and he had an ominous premonition.

"Jagger, do you know a place called Shaq Manor?" Siegel asked suddenly.

The dwarf trembled and raised his head: "Yes, I know. That is the headquarters of the Solidarity Federation, ten miles south of the town. On a cliff near the sea." His eyes swept over the six people in front of him, and then said : "Oh, I see, you have taken on a certain mission. Come here to investigate the Solidarity. Listen to my advice, hurry up and go, the Solidarity is now Kaibu Town, and you are not his opponents at all. And there is no one here. Will help you, from the time you entered town. There are many eyes on it."

"Will you tip off?" Yao En asked, "Are we still safe with you?"

"Don't worry, old friends, I won't tell them anything about your real purpose." Jagger said: "But as long as you act, you are likely to be exposed and lose your life. Listen to me, just leave quickly. The only sensible choice."

"Tell us about this Shaq Manor." Siegel sat down in front of Jagger.

The dwarf stood up abruptly and shouted, "What do you not understand what I said? Go away, get out of here! Fools!"

Siegel's palm glowed, and the spell flowed like music. The excited dwarf's eyes were attracted by the light, and the rapid breathing began to slow down. He swallowed and sat down again. His eyes softened and his eyelids drooped a little. Finally, he nodded and said, "I'm willing to help you."

"Shaq Manor has a history of more than 100 years. It was the manor of the wife of three generations of former lords. At that time, she was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and the manor was her dowry. Originally, a wharf and warehouse were to be built there, but once The landslide caused by the earthquake turned the original port into a rocky coast full of large rocks. Everyone still can only use the small port to the east, and the manor is just a big, beautiful house."

"Later, the manor changed hands several times, and it became the current owner ten years ago, a wealthy businessman named Don Scott. His wife is a local. Later, he was recuperating at the seaside, so he bought the place. After hearing about his wife's death, Dorne didn't show up very much, except for his former friends who came in and out. The manor kept getting a lot of attention."

"Everyone was a little strange when the rally was held at Shaq Manor. It wasn't until they knew that Dorne was one of the elders of the Solidarity, and then everyone understood. The Solidarity often donated money to help those members who were struggling in their lives. , it is said that the money was generously donated by Dorne. Legend has it that there is a large treasure buried in the Shaq Manor, otherwise how can a man who never does business put up so much money? But if you come for this, I miss you You should turn around and go back immediately. Every knight, soldier, and even a dog resting on the ground belongs to Solidarity. There are only six of you, and it is impossible to get the treasure."

"Thank you for your advice, and tell us something about the manor environment." Siegel kept shaking his glowing palm in front of the dwarf, while Jagger stared blankly and said everything without reservation.

Siegel listened carefully, not missing a single detail. The elf saint's letter was vague, and he didn't even mention what the Unity Association was. He could only rely on the information obtained from the gnomes to plan the next move. The spells he casts keep the gnomes from telling lies. However, this spell made the dwarf become very tired, and he only lasted for more than 20 minutes before falling asleep on the table.

"What kind of spell are you?" Naria asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Jay, the adventurer who came here to complete the mission. If you doubt me, it doesn't really matter what I say other than the answer you have in your head." Siegel wanted to divert the topic, so he said: "When Jagger wakes up, he won't remember what just happened, so don't tell him anything about Shaq Manor."

"The fire spell you cast when you were fighting vampires was very strong, but I thought it was some kind of special ability of yours. But the mind-affecting spell you just cast was more complicated, and only a specially trained mage can do it. "Naria looked very nervous, and the fingers holding the powder of the casting material kept shaking. "If you cast the spell just now on us, can we resist it?"

"With the exception of Anomen's hope, all three of you will be spell-controlled and will forget about the spell being cast afterwards—but I wouldn't do that," Siegel said. "As I first As I told you, this task only requires your professional skills, coupled with honest and trustworthy professional ethics, and other things have nothing to do with you."

Yao En grabbed Naria's hand and shook his head: "There's no need to be so nervous. Otherwise, the mission will fail before it starts. Let's focus on Shaq Manor first." He looked at Siegel and asked: "Jay, Shaq Manor is the destination, right?"

"Yes. Investigate the Murder God stronghold at Shaq Manor." Siegel said, "Maybe the Solidarity is a subordinate organization controlled by the Murder God Temple."

"I also have the same thoughts. So let's act according to the original plan." The dwarf let go of Naria's hand, and the female mage sighed, not worrying about Siegel's identity for the time being, but there was a lot of vigilance in her eyes. . "Anomen, you have to be careful, the priest of the God of Murder is likely to see you as a threat. The Solidarity Association may try to stop your missionary actions, and it is not surprising that it uses various means."

"The Holy Light of Mother Earth will protect me, and of course Thor's sword." Anomen didn't look worried.

"Jie and I are going to scout Shaq Manor, Emmon, you and Naria are temporarily staying in the hotel, and don't go anywhere." Yawn said.

"Why!" Amon puffed out his cheeks and pouted: "Didn't you say we are responsible for shopping?"

"The situation has changed. For your safety, it's better to take a day off. And you don't have nothing to do. In addition to taking care of Jagger, you have to take care of the horses so that they can go on the road at any time. Maybe we stay in It won't be long here"

Siegel stood up and patted the dwarf on the shoulder. Went out without saying a word.

Emmon poked Evan with his elbow: "What's wrong with your friend? He was very anxious all the way, but now he's starting to get impatient, which makes people very uneasy."

"He is usually calm, and when he is serious, he is like a mountain. But he is under a lot of pressure, I can feel it, so he is not as good as me in this respect. Look at me, no matter how much pressure It affects my good mood."

"You're heartless." Amon sighed.

Siegel was pulling his pipe from the space bag when Yawn the dwarf pushed open the door and came out. He hasn't smoked for a long time, and now needs this thing to calm down. Six parts of tobacco leaves, three parts of tranquility grass, and one part of spice, you can smell the rich aroma just at your fingertips.

"If I were you. I wouldn't smoke." Yao En said: "During the investigation, the smell will reveal our whereabouts."

My spell removes all smells, sounds, and lights without anyone finding out. Siegel wanted to say that, but knew it was too proud. It was not helpful to carry out the task together, so he put away the tobacco leaves.

"I'm sorry to cast spells on your friend Jag, but I assure you that spells have no ill effects," Siegel said. "Mind-controlling spells have always been a problem-prone area, but I can't afford to have problems with tasks. consequences.”

"Looks like you have something on your mind~www.readwn.com~ Yao En said:" Carrying out a mission with something on your mind will cause trouble. This is one of the taboos for adventurers, just like going back to your hometown to get married and retire after earning enough money. Although it doesn't make sense. But that's how the world works in the dark. "

"I understand what you mean," Siegel said. "It's the same at sea. Except for the captain, you can't discuss tomorrow's weather, or it will definitely turn bad. Pirates are also a taboo topic. These can't be used. There is no magic reason to explain it with common sense."

"This town feels the same to everyone. It's very weird and awkward, but everyone is a professional adventurer and mercenary. Many times, they must be very focused on the task, and other things will be discussed after the bounty is obtained." Yao En raised his hand and patted Siegel on the waist: "Are you in a better mood now? Let's go to Shaq Manor, there are still a lot of things to do."

Siegel looked at him and thought of Erint the Dwarf from him. Perhaps because of their longevity, they can fully understand and take care of other people's moods. The mage rubbed his face, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said to Yao En, "I am Siegel Squid." (To be continued.)
