Twenty Sided Dice

"I know," Siegel smiled slightly. "The enemy is very cunning, but I'm not that easy to deal with. They don't have a very good way to deal with me, so they will start around me."

"Have you made arrangements in Helmland?" said Sir Bill.

"Yes, unless the opponent has no bottom line to attack, there is no problem there. If it develops to that point, I also have the power to break the dead. At present, I can only use this method to achieve balance, and at the same time strive to develop myself, and try to wipe it out as soon as possible. The gap between the equal advantage and the advantage finally won the initiative." Siegel poured a cup of Ningshen tea mixed with honey for Sir, and then asked, "Sir, whose way are you this time?"

Sir Bill frowned: "I've never understood this. About eight months ago, when Evan was not king, I just brought you Aaron's trustee. There was a group of deserters at this time. The bandits came to the vicinity of the territory and happened to kidnap the son of Earl Tran who was passing by. By the time I and Earl Tran's butler found the robbers with money, they had already killed the hostages and tried to ambush us. In that battle I found that book, Book 7 of The History of the Starry Kingdom."

"Is this book the earl's or the bandit's?"

"I asked, and it didn't belong to the Troon family. The book was put together with some gold and silver, candlesticks, bronze mirrors, etc., maybe it was the spoils of a robbery of the bandits," Bill recalled. "It was boring. Sometimes I would look at that book and it would start to become abnormal. It was kind of like sleepwalking at first, then it was just walking around aimlessly, and then gradually I lost control of my body, kind of like It's like forgetting something when you're drunk."

"Being possessed is very troublesome. Is there no priest in your territory?"

"I'm afraid he's also a priest with no real skills. After realizing that he was abnormal, I went to him. He just said that my sleep and rest were not good, so he gave me some medicine to help me fall asleep, which made the situation worse." Sir Bill shivered, and seemed to be still terrified. "I later found out that I joined an organization called the Orthodox Society, and they were plotting to kill Evan. To ensure the long-term stability of the Starry Kingdom. I am in this organization..." He said in a low voice: "The position is very high, although I also I don't know how I got up there."

"That book...did you show that book to others?"

"I don't remember it, but it's better to treat it as if there are many people watching." Sir Bill sighed and shook his head slightly: "I think something is wrong. The king at that time, Aaron, Evan... After all, Evan did not ascend the throne. In the eyes of the Orthodox Church, he was an unstable person who affected the stability of the kingdom. The assassination plan against Evan was not implemented, and no one could find him at that time. Later I got the news that Aaron handed over the king's position to Evan on the dwarf unsinkable stone boat."

"I was less and less awake. I knew something was wrong, so I had to hurry up and arrange the next thing. I tried to find the high-ranking priest in the temple, but I didn't stay awake long enough to support me in reaching the temple. So I was helpless. Under the circumstances, I can only divorce, hoping to keep the child. The Orthodox Society has begun to plan to kill Evan, rescue Aaron and take away the prince, any one of which is enough to hang the whole family!"

"It's all over now." Siegel put his head on the back of the chair and looked up at the ceiling: "There is no danger, except that you have to propose again. By the way, you do have to propose again, right? ?"

"Stinky boy!" Sir Bill covered his stomach and laughed twice: "I must go back. With such an opportunity to manage the territory, I want to create better conditions for my children and family. Your Haim The leader is really powerful. I have also heard a lot of rumors on the kingdom side. It is said that the land you own is about the same size as the Duke?"

"Yes, that's true. And there are many unowned lands around me, and it's no problem to have a few more duchies. But I have already stopped occupying the footsteps, mainly because there are not enough people to do it. manage."

"It takes many generations for a great nobleman to truly establish his status. In other words, you have to have more children. How did Janet give birth to you now? This is absolutely impossible." Sir Bill curled his lips: "I saw her when I first saw her. Know that she is not the kind of physique suitable for breeding, thin and weak. You are the first member of the squid family, and now you are in charge of such a large territory. If there are not enough descendants to manage separately, it is likely that the power of the loyal knights is greater than that of the main family. , you know it's not a good thing."

It was a well-worn statement, and Siegel understood it. But not necessarily agree. With the emergence of new technologies and tactics, the castle owned by the lord may not continue to be the core of power, so the practice of covering the territory with the number of descendants may gradually lose its meaning.

Moreover, if cloning succeeds, eternal youth can be expected, and the number of offspring no longer seems to be a big issue. But Sir Bill was like a parent, and he used to say that Janet wasn't a good fit for Siegel. Siegel himself had never heard of it. For a time, the archmage seemed to have returned to the past, the old days when the elders were nagging.

"Siegel, how did you get mixed up with the king's secret probe now? That's a very dangerous person. I don't know if what he said is true or false, and I can't believe it." Sir Bill urged: "Don't Do you owe him a favor? It is said that his favor is the most difficult to pay. I have nothing to do, so you should go back to Heim as soon as possible."

Siegel shook his head: "I can't go back for the time being. I was appointed by His Majesty the King as a military advisor, and now I work under Earl Todd. Although it's not much hard work every day, I can't leave easily."

"Earl Todd?" Sir Bill thought for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Earl Todd is about to retire, so let's try it out first, and then go up to it whenever you want? , this should be studied carefully. In the past, this position has always been held by the high lord trusted by the king to calm the conflict between the lords. It is also suitable to find you, not counting Heim Land, just the title of an archmage. It can hold down a lot of people.”

"Actually, I would rather be more leisurely and more focused." Siegel was a little helpless: "In the end, I became a magician. Sir, don't you blame me?"

"There used to be, but not anymore." Sir Bill smiled, with a look of relief in his eyes: "I meant to let you go on the road of knighthood, but I actually don't have any good way to get you sealed. Noble title or become a lord. Maybe through a tournament, and then work for a big lord, and then marry a high-ranking woman like me. You are not very good now, Lord Marquis, with your own large territory. I can only be happy, than I'm even more happy with what I got. When I took you off the boat, I saw it, you must be very promising."

"real?"

"At least he won't be killed by the kobold as soon as he comes up," Sir Bill said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Sir Bill ate some elf biscuits, then drank the drink prepared by Master Shelley, and fell asleep again slowly. After staying with the shadowy ghost for a long time, his body is affected by negative energy, and many functions are not as good as before, so he needs to take care of it slowly. In this regard, necromancers are even more experienced than the priests of the Temple of Dawn.

"The internal organs are damaged in many places, especially the heart, lungs and kidneys, which require long-term maintenance." Master Shelley said to Siegel privately: "If the priest of the Temple of Dawn helps, it should be able to recover in one to two months. , Anyone who tells you that it can be faster is a liar."

"Thank you so much. You can directly find me what kind of materials you need, and I will try my best to find them for you."

The Star Cable returned to the Starry Capital. After listening to Vicky's separate report, His Majesty the King called Sir Bill alone on the same day. Sir himself was barely able to walk, but Shelley insisted that he be in a wheelchair. In short, His Majesty the King saw the "miserable" Sir Bill, asked him a lot of information about the Orthodox Society, and then revealed the matter.

But Siegel is not so optimistic. Although this happened eight months ago, Hou Aaron and Evan had not met at that time, and he had not yet received the hundred-sided dice, or prevented Liel's legendary spell at the meeting of the dwarf king. That is to say, at that time, he had not yet become the enemy that Great Prophet Leel was aiming at with all his strength. However, the time and space power on the cover of "The History of the Star Kingdom" always alerted him: he had seen himself in time travel, which means that time travel is possible, so the time when this book was discovered does not guarantee that this is not a column one of his conspiracies.

If time travel and possession were taken as the core of the whole conspiracy, causing Sir Bill to join the orthodoxy, he would become a "traitor" that threatened the kingdom's rule, thus causing trouble for Siegel, or blackmailing him when the time came. . The conspiracy may not be so simple, and the deeper purpose has not been exposed. But judging by the results so far, Siegel feels he has at least unraveled the surface troubles. So a question was put in front of him: why use this strange history book as a medium, how can it be able to travel in time?

Siegel observed the book from the perspective of magic items~www.readwn.com~ and finally found the clue. Under the seemingly ordinary cover, there is a mezzanine, the material used is actually the leather of the blue dragon, which is very valuable for a history book. The dragon's skin contains engravings, which can carry and protect magical energy, which is also the place where the shadow of the dead hides.

In addition to this interlayer, there is also a magic circle in the spine of the book, but it is only a very common effect of repelling insects and moisture, and it is used in books that need to be stored for a long time. Then I found that it stopped there, and there was nothing strange about it.

Anything can be used as a shelter for the shadow of the dead, why is this book alone? Also, if this is a set up conspiracy, then who can be so sure that this book will end up in Sir Bill's hands?

Adding the time travel factor, Siegel thought of a direction for investigation. Whoever learned about the specific circumstances of the Tran family kidnapping after the fact, when Sir Bill appeared, and where the robber's treasure was placed, is the person most likely to direct all this.

Independent research is the safest, but Siegel doesn't have that much energy, so it's up to Wiki for that. (To be continued.)
