Twenty Sided Dice

?The deaf knights pose another problem: they won't be able to participate in the upcoming tournament.

After Moore's reminder, Siegel remembered this matter. It's been nearly half a year since he and Janet ordered the competition, and I don't know how the preparations are going.

When I think about it, there are still many things I should do that I haven't cared about. The new year's spring ploughing, the magic ship of the Federation, the shipyard of Rabbit's Ear, the situation of Mora's Peak and the Elf Forest, the recent situation of the military masters Alexander and William, the daily affairs and the situation of the southern lords, the cold The recent development of the Raven Tribe and the progress of the rebuilding of Waterdeep. Over time, these things will gradually change, which will affect the development and security of Heimland.

How easy is it to be a good lord? Siegel once simply thought that as long as the gold was dug well and the residents were able to farm the land well, it was almost the whole job of the lord, but now it turns out that it is just the imagination of the young people. The more you think that you can have a stable environment, the more you need to do your work before things happen; the more you think about not being lost, the more you have to make a hundred times more effort. Heim occupies a wide area and has become the premier territory in the New World, and there are more and more things to pay attention to. As a magician, Siegel still has magic research that he can't leave behind, so he must make a choice when he thinks about it now.

"It's not an option to always leave the job to a group of women. Mana hasn't married yet." Siegel rubbed his chin, thinking while resting in the living room of the starting point fortress. How can I give myself more time to study magic without causing trouble for the realm?

The practice of the Starry Kingdom is to establish a small imperial meeting, where daily affairs can be handled. Only matters related to the change of nobility, the division of territories, large expenditures and military transfers had to be decided by the king.

"Must" means that other times the king can do what he wants - if he can study magic, he can too. Such an approach was a good tip for Siegel, and perhaps it could be done in Heimland as well.

After returning to Myr City, he told Janet what he thought, but she shook her head. "That's a system left to the king, and no lord can do that. The laws of the Starry Kingdom clearly stipulate that the lord must be responsible for the affairs of the territory and cannot transfer it to others. The Heimland is in the New World, and you set up the lord to handle things on your behalf. No one cares. But if you set up a council of lords. No matter how small it is, it can be a reason for the Starry Kingdom to deprive you of your lordship. To win you over, Aaron will not do it; Evan is your good friend, neither I'll use that as a reason, but that doesn't mean Heimland won't get into trouble."

"It seems that no matter what you do or not, it's all trouble." Siegel smiled bitterly, and then said to his wife, "You've worked hard for this time. I finally remembered the tournament."

Janet shook her head helplessly, and then said, "Do you still remember the tournament?"

"I still remember a lot of things, and you and Isaac came first." Siegel replied with a smile.

"Okay, your words made me a lot happier, so I'll spare you this time. There are still two weeks left for the competition, and everything has been arranged, with swordsmanship, archery, riding and spell performances set up. Even if you As the suggestion made by the master, the people of the federation have racked their brains and have not figured out how to safely conduct the mage competition, so they can only choose the performance project. It is a friendly gesture to you. I see their eyes, it is clear that they are suspicious You want a few more champions, so you ask for a spell duel."

"Haha, if I don't go out, how can there be a champion?" Siegel picked up the wine glass next to him and took a sip. Under Janet's gaze, he had to admit: "Well, I want to try to win a championship. Sir Bill won the championship at the Junction Castle that year, and he said it was the happiest thing in his life, so I I want to try it too.”

"If you can watch the show in the stands and participate anonymously, then you can do whatever you want. Unfortunately, I'm also going to attend, and I can't transform myself any way I want, so I can't dress like you. If everyone finds out in the stands The Lord of Heim is a fake. That would be a scandal that would rock the continent."

Siegel's eyes flashed, and he immediately had an idea. In order not to let his wife find out, he immediately asked, "Is there enough money to hold the tournament? Did my magic experiment cost a lot of money?"

"Gold coins are not a big problem. The gold and silver that comes back by sea from Tu'er Port every day is useless in the warehouse. It's better to spend it. Only the fine gold in the small warehouse has bottomed out, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. . This mineral is very troublesome from mining to smelting. The quantity is rare, and you can't buy it if you want."

"Can you get it from the Old World by smuggling?"

"This has been taken into consideration, Mr. Smuggling Captain!" Janet blinked her eyes and answered pointedly: "For some reason, many people are hoarding fine gold, the largest of which is the Mage Association. The advisor of the city, he knows which lord has fine gold, and in terms of funds, the Mage Association has never been short of funds."

"Buy as many as you have, don't force it, I can put the experiment aside for the time being." Siegel's eyes revealed an unconcealed pride, which was sharply captured by Janet. So she asked in a soft voice, "Mr. **, I don't know what you found this time? Can you tell me?"

"It's a very powerful and dangerous thing, but it's really powerful." Siegel shook his head: "Don't ask, wait until I figure out a way to solve the problem of how to test, and then touch all the things I don't understand. It's clear, I'll tell you more about it."

"As long as you pay attention to safety." Janet flipped her hair, looked at Siegel with charming affection, and said, "Are you going back to the lab or taking a break?"

"I can't be in the lab all the time, and it's time to do my duty as a lord. Is there anything I need to do recently?"

"I should ask if there is anything that can help us relax recently!" Janet rolled her eyes and said, "You can put trivial chores for a while. There are many knights on the territory, both titled knights and free knights. In addition, there are also There are some mercenaries who want to take advantage of the opportunity of the tournament to stand out. There is no need to see the mercenaries. You should show the knights and meet them before the conference." She looked at Siegel's expression and knew what he was thinking. , so he said, "Don't worry. Half a day at most."

"Okay, you can arrange it. I can't name all those people, so don't make me embarrassed."

"Maybe a book called "History of Important Families and Characters in the Continent" can help you. I saw it in your study, which is one of the few books that have not been turned over at all. By the way. Those books of "Argonian Maid" Where did it go?"

"Uh..." Siegel's mouth twitched a few times. "Most of the servants in the outer study can enter, maybe they took it away. For literacy, it's a very popular reading, isn't it?"

"They're still them?" Janet smiled softly. Then he patted the back of Siegel's hand before he was embarrassed, and said, "Go and clean up first, you look too haggard, and your body is too weak. This is not what a majestic Earl of Heimland should look like. ."

Siegel nodded, kissed Janet lightly, and went to bathe. In addition to eliminating the fatigue of months of work, he also prepares his body for recovery training. He still can't get rid of the idea of ​​participating in the competition anonymously, even if it's not for the ultimate champion - after all, he can't award himself an award - he wants to see how good his skills are.

The wizard's mind was full of this, and he didn't notice Janet's expression. She lowered her eyes behind Siegel and slowly stroked her belly, looking sad.

Siegel took the thick and heavy History of Important Families and Characters in the Continent. Although I will browse for a few times myself, this thing involves too much energy and there is no need to waste time. He summoned Dengshen II to his side and let it begin to memorize the tome.

"Anyway, you have nothing to do except for the daily handling of the mercenary guild's accounting and task arrangement information. It's good to memorize this book." Siegel felt that the idea he came up with was wonderful: "When When I need it, I can use the communication technique to ask you directly, why bother yourself?"

"Yes, Master, it will take about two days for me to memorize all the contents and to be at your service at any time." The Djinn will answer yes or no. But it can't use "no" to refuse the master's order.

At present, Siegel has created a total of two Djinn, one of which always stays in the basement of Myr City, monitoring the work of the elemental rune magic circle and the energy focusing lens. It also pays attention to the energy delivery of Myr's core, if it finds that someone exceeds the energy use level set by Siegel. report to the owner immediately. The energy beacon system is not perfect, and there will always be smart people to crack it, so Siegel will arrange for a lamp **** to supervise and deal with this matter, calling him No. 1.

When Siegel is away, it can also control the magic defense formation of Myr City, especially the space lock formation. Prevent unknown personnel from using teleportation to directly enter Myr City. Once those space spells are located in Myr City and the space lock is triggered, Deng Shen No. 1 will use the energy focusing lens to divert its exit, and try to stay away from the castle as much as possible. If the opponent's teleportation skills are very high, and the exit position is fixed, then the lamp **** will mobilize a large number of elements to destroy the energy balance near the exit, making the space channel vulnerable and dangerous.

If Dengshen No. 1 is a standard wizard serving Dengshen~www.readwn.com~, then Dengshen No. 2 is a type that serves lords, just like the advisors of the academy. Siegel weakened its magic control ability, strengthened its role in knowledge learning and transaction processing, and borrowed some techniques from the glue warrior template to specially make a servant-type lamp god. It helps Janet handle the accounting of the territory, secretly manage the task release and personnel level of the mercenary union, discover those potential adventurers who speak the spirit of the contract, evaluate their strength and credibility, and better serve the Heimland .

Especially those things that **** and search for valuables can only be handed over to such a reliable person. Originally, Feizak was the most suitable position, but his age and physical condition did not meet the requirements, and he had already put out the idea of ​​taking on the job, and could only serve as an important consultant. Although Fizzak recommended several successors, Siegel still needs to test their loyalty and ability.

Djinn may be incompetent, but he will never betray him. What is lacking in ability can be made up by Siegel's magical power, but loyalty is even more precious.

Siegel looked at the lamp **** who was "studying hard" and said to him in a low voice: "How about you dress me up and participate in the competition?"

The blue lamp **** looked at Siegel, what else could he say? Under the influence of infinite loyalty and obedience, he nodded expressionlessly: "I am willing to serve you, Master." (To be continued.)
