Twenty Sided Dice

Blood magic is derived from necromantic spells and transformation spells. It is a series of magic that specializes in the study of biological body structure, so as to control and weaken it. According to the general concept of the Mage Federation, blood magic has its own uniqueness, and it has contributed to the discovery of the Mage's own power, but that's all. The technique of using blood as a material for spellcasting is widely spread, and in order to prevent blood sacrifice rituals, the Federation stipulates that only the blood of the spellcaster can be used. For the spells of the blood magic series, most of them use too many curse and torture effects, which are already biased towards evil, which may cause the general public to fear mages, which is not good for the development of the mages union. Therefore, the Federation "recommends" not to abuse blood magic.

Siegel is now disguised as an orc witch priest, he must not use elemental spells indiscriminately, and all the curse spells he knows are blood magic. Siegel has no psychological burden to use such spells on orcs. While rubbing the blood marrow stone with his hands, he whispered a spell. The mask just concealed the movement of his lips and the sound of the spell, and no one other than Colin, who was sitting next to Siegel, knew he was casting a spell.

With the power of the spell, Siegel could clearly hear the beating of Spearman's heart, and also clearly saw the roar of blood flowing in his body. This is a strong orc, with tough and powerful fur, muscles, guts and bones, but can he exercise blood? Siegel concentrated his mind, shaking the blood of the orc, making it flow freely in his veins like a runaway horse.

The effect was immediate, the spear man slumped and fell to the ground under the surprised eyes of everyone. Half of his face was flushed red, the other half was as white as wax paper, and the strange shapes on both sides were exchanged in the next second. The spear man opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but he still felt exhausted, a strong feeling of suffocation. Siegel quickly got the hang of it, using his own voice to control the vibrations of the orc blood and focus the spell on the tiny blood vessels in the Spearman's ear. For the orc, he immediately heard a low roar, and a majestic voice echoed in his head: "Obey!"

Coupled with the effect of a little fear spell, Siegel broke the orc's self-confidence. I saw the spear man dropped his weapon, knelt on the ground, and slammed his head down. "I surrender!" The orc took a deep breath and said with all his strength, "I would like to be the servant of Lord Wuji, dedicating blood and life, and the Beastmaster God will bear witness to my oath!" After speaking, he crawled over, posing for a kiss. Siegel's ring.

But Siegel didn't want him to really swear, otherwise, the Beastmaster God would probably hear this sentence and let down his anger. Siegel is a human being, and the Beastmaster God is so proud that he will not let his people serve any other race. Siegel put his hand back into his sleeve robe, covered it up quietly, and said calmly, "I don't need your loyalty. What I need is a wolf, not a dog. How can you prove your ability?"

"I will fight for you." The spear man Akus said: "Anyone who wants to threaten you must first step on my long knife and my body."

"Very good. Let's start by defending this position." Siegel stood up and reversed the effect of the spell, so that the blood of the orcs could carry more nutrients to all parts of the body, which made the spear man feel refreshed. Full body full of energy. He kowtowed heavily on the ground, then grabbed the long-handled sword, stood up straight, looked at the orcs around him, and blocked potential challengers with a ferocious face.

"Stay here. If I come back and the place is gone, then I hope you are either dead or run away. But if you are still alive to protect this place, I will reward you." Siegel stood up, yes Lin Ke waved his hand and asked him to lead the way. I can't be trapped here, I haven't seen more than half of the town, I haven't bought anything, I haven't heard anything, I have to take the initiative and not let this sly dwarf fool me, Siegel thought.

To do a full set of plays, Lin Ke could only keep up. He's short, but he walks so fast that the chainmail on him is rattling—it's not as good as the one I made at the gnome's grocer, Siegel laughed to himself. Lin Ke rushed to the front in a few steps and guided Siegel to the direction of the slave market. And "Master Wuji" was behind him, under the gaze of many orcs, with confidence and majesty, he passed through the crowd without looking sideways, and left the accommodation area. Siegel deliberately made this gesture of indifference to the threat, secretly observing everything around him with the eyes of a raven. He has the means, and he is not a fool. Naturally, he will not place his safety on the "rules" or "promises" of the orcs.

The noisiest place in the whole Bacon Town is the slave market. Usually, donkey carts are used to pull over here, and slaves in iron cages are constantly sold. Orcs will use cattle, sheep or iron to bid. There will also be southern coins here, all obtained through looting. Orcs can't use it to buy things in human cities, so they can only be used as gold and silver, causing a big depreciation of coins. Many merchants with dark hearts, boldness, and little shame will go to the orcs to exchange wine and iron for gold coins, and then make a lot of money from the value of the coins. However, most of those merchants go to the coastal ports in the east, and rarely go far inland. At least Siegel didn't see a single human merchant in Bacontown.

Because I heard that the orc general Kaka will come back with a large amount of loot, and the well-informed also know that there will be many newly captured slaves in the loot, so the orcs at the market are trying to "clean up the inventory". Siegel saw three booths selling slaves, each surrounded by five or six potential buyers, with guards and slave leaders, and the number of slaves on the booth was about the same as the audience.

"Commodities" are old and young, most of them are malnourished, standing listlessly. Their hands were only tied with thick hemp ropes, and only two or three leather whips guarded them, but none of them dared to resist, obediently obeyed the orders, stepped forward, opened their mouths, squatted, turned in circles, and jumped. Siegel took a deep breath, hard to imagine what kind of force could twist human nature to this extent. Everyone is born free, it is the nature and beauty of life, and slavery kills that beauty.

"Master Wuji." Lin Ke asked in a similar way, "What do you want to buy?"

"Materials." Siegel said softly, "Let's start with herbs and animal bones."

There are many unique animals living in the north of the City Wall Mountains. They live in cold climates for a long time, and they often have ice resistance or flame affinity. Siegel walked slowly on the muddy ground, his eyes swept across the stalls on the ground. Orcs choose slaves who can count and send them over to sell things. Only if they sell well, will they be free from the whip, and maybe there will be a piece of meat to eat, so the slaves are screaming hard. Most of them spread a piece of cloth on the ground as a stall and put things out one by one. A lot of things don't even know what the seller is, so most of the shouting Siegel hears is about the owner of the item.

"Captain Bugachen once defeated the Chief Ranger of the Elf Side Patrol in a one-on-one battle. These are his trophies!" a slave shouted loudly. Siegel looked down and didn't believe that the elf ranger would cross the waterdeep control area and come to the walled mountains and the orcs duel, and they were using dwarf-style equipment. However, there is a rune stone in the cargo, which seems to be in good condition and may be repaired. Sigurd stopped for two more steps, and the slave shouted louder, thinking he had attracted a buyer.

Siegel frowned and gave up the rune stone. He felt that he was a little thoughtless, and it was a bit ostentatious to use the identity of a witch sacrifice to the market, and he was unwilling to solve all problems with violence like a real orc. In a situation like the one just now, the orcs would use their fists to educate the sellers when they should keep their mouths shut. Siegel knew the right thing to do, but he just couldn't do it.

He decided to speed up the action, so as not to reveal flaws for too long. Siegel pulled out a bag containing silver nuggets of various sizes, cut from a blood magician's silver ingot. Although silver is soft and cannot be used in weapons, it is a good thing for making amulets. Moreover, black market merchants from the south will collect money, so it is more convenient to use this transaction. "Lin Ke, walk quickly, you can buy whatever I mean."

"okay!"

Siegel quickly picked some herbs, animal bones and teeth, some colorful stones. He also bought a few amulets, but he didn't need the ability to "protect the body" - if they had worked, they wouldn't be sold here. Siegel saw that several talismans may use relatively rare additives~www.readwn.com~ can be used to make some magical instruments. In the absence of a wand, the talisman is also an alternative. For example, using yellow corundum as the main material, adding sulfur and gold powder into molten aluminum to describe a magic circle, and then inlaying the magic tool on the iron ring holder, the magician can use most of the flame element spells, just like having a magic wand Same. Few mages do this now, after all, wands can replace all magic weapons, and they are cheaper and easier to use.

Siegel has blood marrow stone and dragon blood in his space. At the market, he gathered a few remaining materials, and when he goes back, he can try to make blood magic instruments. If possible, other magical tools would be best made too, but Siegel turned around twice and couldn't get the materials together.

After all, this is not Waterdeep City, and there is no such developed business. Siegel decided enough was enough and told Link to start the return trip. I don't know what's going on in the lodging area, or if Orc Akus is still alive. Just as he was about to leave the market, four orcs stopped him.

These guys are obviously not ordinary orcs. They are wearing iron armor of a similar style - modeled after human breastplates, which can be regarded as good protective equipment in the north. The chest of each armor is stamped in red paint with a logo of a palm with only three fingers. They stopped in front of Siegel, bowed slightly, and then said, "Lord Witch, our Lord Karrug Bloodhand, please come over."

"Is he a general?" Siegel asked.

"No, he is also a witch priest." The orcs made way, and one of them stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

It seems that this is a date that must be attended.
