Twenty Sided Dice

? They came to the closest point to the ground in the mine after two hours, and finally understood where the blood spider was going. There is a channel sloping upwards that has collapsed in half without any reinforcement. Beneath the pile of rubble, the corpse of a giant blood spider waited quietly for everyone.

Siegel fired an energy missile, which hit the blood spider's long leg. Unexpectedly, its limbs are like rotten wood, and it will be damaged with a light touch. In the exoskeleton, the parts of the body that were supposed to have organs became empty tubes with nothing inside.

This is the remains of a corpse that has been completely decayed by time. Judging from the surrounding environment and the integrity of the corpse, the final cause of death of the blood spider is not like a landslide, but starvation.

After the dwarves closed the mine, the blood spiders lived a comfortable life, leaving behind a large number of spider eggs. But it soon found itself in a forgotten corner where there was no food to eat. Instinct tells it to climb to the ground as soon as possible, which is wider than the ground and has more foraging opportunities.

The place that the dwarf sealed with the runestone was almost indestructible, and it had to find another way out. Following its instincts, it began to dig into the rock formation. Even with limbs that can pierce steel, they are of little use in digging. The huge body also increases the workload it needs, so it doesn't complete this escape route until death.

"Those eggs should have been eaten by itself, just to reserve some power." Locke stepped on the blood spider's body and tapped its empty shell with an axe. "Siegel, I know you have doubts about the dwarf's motives, and I can see it even if you don't say it."

"Is it that obvious?"

"I've lived more than four hundred years, and most of my time is on the ground - we're not the kind of miners who only know how to dig deep," Locke said. One day. If you don't find a way out early, you will be trapped like this spider in a place that seems to be ruled by it and full of freedom. If you find that the situation is not right and change it, I am afraid there is no room for change, which means war. "

"If you say so, war is inevitable in the end." Siegel thought of Nykes. Think of a mighty army built on a ruined world. "If the city walls and mountains are not enough, we will move to the western wasteland, but what if the entire New World is not enough?"

The dwarves carrying the body of the blood spider stopped to work and looked at Siegel. There was a firm look in his piercing eyes. Locke said: "So we have to go all the way west and find out why the Wall of Storms is retreating. What is this new continent that has emerged, whether it was originally existing or created. What is the reason for us to more In this paradise, can we reproduce this process. The dwarf gods teach us that creation is the greatest force in the world."

"I understand a little bit now." Siegel nodded. Called the air element and took out the energy lens scepter. He continued to dig on the unfinished work of the blood spider, which was not far from the sky.

At the same time, Feizac also left Heimland and went to the forest camp of the elves. He rode an ordinary packhorse, dressed in suede, without any armor or weapons. When he saw the ancient war tree in the distance, he stopped his mount, raised his hands high, and turned his palms toward the elf.

He couldn't see any spirits with his one eye. But he believed that he had seen himself with the eyesight of those forest dwellers. The ancient war tree stopped, and there was a whistle from the hidden branches and leaves. Feizak's horse's ears twitched, and he slowly moved his hooves toward the ancient tree.

This is good, even his own horse is controlled by the elves. Feizac has never understood why the elves who have always lived in harmony with nature suddenly become the initiators of war? Don't they prefer to study poetry, art, and more ethereal theology?

Horses crossed the field, which used to be a turnip field, and after it was left unattended, weeds began to grow. Originally, turnips grow fastest in winter and can be harvested next spring. But according to the current situation, the crops here are wasted in vain.

Do elves know how to farm? Feizak looked at the ancient war tree that kept getting bigger and bigger in his sight. Elves are inhabitants of trees. The forest is where they belong. They were able to make trees produce abundant fruit, sweet fruit to satisfy hunger and to make wine, but only humans cultivated the land, tended fields, and raised livestock. I don't know what the Mother Earth thinks about the behavior of the elves. Perhaps in her eyes, there is no essential difference between fields and forests.

The horse walked under the ancient war tree by himself, then stopped, and lowered his head to eat the turnip leaves on the ground. Feizak dismounted from the horse, and because of his age, he had to raise his hands. So it stumbles a bit when it hits the ground. At this time, I heard a familiar voice: "Be careful, don't worry, you are safe here."

Faizak straightened up with his hands on the saddle. He saw Elf Leah jumped down from the ancient war tree and stood in front of him. She changed her attire. Instead of the pale green inlaid leather armor that belonged to the Rangers' sideguards, she was a Luna knight breastplate inlaid with silver filigree. A machete hangs on each side of his waist, and the hilt is inlaid with green gems.

The longbow behind Leah is still the same one, but who is her sworn enemy this time?

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Miss Leah." Feizak smiled wryly and rubbed his sore shoulders. "You sure wouldn't shoot me with a bow, would you?"

Leah nodded, her expression was very complicated, and her eyes were unwilling to communicate with Feizak. The one-eyed father could see the inner contradictions of the elves. Heimland was also the territory owned by her apprentice, not a place that could be occupied simply by bringing the ancient war tree. In addition to the stone wall, the invisible wall of emotion is even more indestructible.

"It's too tiring to keep raising my hands, I'm really at the age to retire." Seeing that Leah was still silent, Feizak stopped pressing her. He only needs to know that Leah has not turned against Siegel, which means that there is still a possibility of negotiation.

"I won't let you embarrassed anymore." Feizak said: "Siegel asked me to meet the elf general here and ask the elf's thoughts on the next step. These huge trees walk around all day. , has trampled the fields in a mess. If you don't want these turnips, can we at least let our farmers carry some away?"

"The area where the ancient war tree is located is the territory of the elves." Leah lowered her eyelids and answered mechanically.

"The big tree behind you is called the ancient tree of war? Sure enough, the territory comes from war, history, or farming. Your big tree comes, we can't do anything about it. But it doesn't mean You planted the seeds in this field, and you did the fertilization, watering, and weeding, right?"

The elf frowned, and managed to summon up the courage to keep his voice from trembling. "Fizak. I am now not only Siegel's master, but also the captain of the Arc Moon regiment, responsible for operations in the southwest. I know Siegel, and he will not send you to talk about Turnip. You can ask anything. Just say it."

"Lord Lord said that Heimland has always had no conflict with elves. On the contrary, he himself has cooperated a lot with elves. For example, elemental rune guards and..." Feizak looked at Leah, sighed, and continued: "Lea, you are actually more familiar with many things than I am. You were with Siegel when you were in the Elf Forest. Those spells, incantations, etc. are too mouth-watering. ."

Leah nodded, forced a smile, and said to Feizak: "I know all this, so the ancient war tree did not besiege Myr City. The city wall you built is very good. I know there are dwarf rune masters to help, attack The city is very unwise. And we elves don’t want to attack the castle and make more killings. We hope that humans can recognize the reality, leave the land of the elves and go back to the sea side.”

"Leah, you know that I am from the north of the Walled Mountains and have lived in the orc territory for a long time. I have seen wars between them, tribes and tribes, chiefs and chiefs. When wars start, there are various All sorts of reasons, but it has no effect on the war itself. Now you elves can control the situation, at least I haven't heard of you killing innocents or burning down villages. But after that? As the human lords get more and more restless. The possibility of desperate Sex is getting bigger and bigger. You tell me, when will the elves order the ancient tree of war to attack the city? How many elves do humans need to kill before that? Ten? One hundred? Five hundred?"

"I don't know, I don't know," Leah said. "We have an ancient tree of war, and it is impossible for humans to win. This is very obvious. Why continue?"

"War is not mathematics, and ancient trees are not omnipotent." Feizak said: "Lord Lord said, your real enemy is not the peasants who cultivate the land, nor the knights with shining armor, but the Knox common who built the red tower. Yes. Human lords always care about their people and won't easily fight with you. But Knox is not like that. They can exert their power without any scruples, and have enough resources to compete with the elves. It means, if you really want to overwhelm people with power, control the real scale and extent, and avoid evil killings, what's the use of scaring ordinary people?"

"I can't give you an answer about the strategy." Leah replied: "But my ancient war tree will go to patrol other places tomorrow~www.readwn.com~ So if there are fewer crops in the fields, it will not be find."

Fizzak nodded and handed over a letter written by Siegel. The envelope was thick and sealed with wax oil, and it was heavy in the hand. "Lord Lord doesn't know you are here, so I also prepared a letter for me to give to the person in charge here. I will tell him what happened here when I go back, but I don't think he will come to see you right away."

Leah nodded and replied, "I understand his concerns."

Feizac sighed and finally said: "You know Janet's situation, Siegel originally wanted to get help from the elves. After you disappeared, he was very worried, but he couldn't find any clues about you. The dwarves are closed. Guomen, all news has been cut off, and he is helpless now. If he knew that it was you who came to his door with the ancient tree of war, I really don't know how much he would be hit. Leah, Siegel is just a Twenty-year-old young people, according to the lifespan of elves, I am afraid that they have not even passed their infancy."

"Stop talking." Leah lowered her head and waved her hands weakly. "I'll talk to him when he's ready. Not only as a master and apprentice, but also as a general and a lord."

"I'll tell him." Feizak pulled the reins, got back on his full-fed horse, and started the journey back. (To be continued.)
