After listening to Pan Da, Blake did not fly into a rage as the priest had expected. Instead, he frowned and pondered for a long time. Then, he beckoned Pan Da into the room for a detailed discussion.
"Lord Holy Lord, now that they know of the existence of the 'Holy Assembly' …"
"They know, but they did not act immediately. Instead, they dragged me here. This means that there is still room for negotiation, even if we are at a disadvantage."
Blake had been thinking of various possibilities along the way. The current situation was not as bad as he had expected. He let out a sigh of relief and pointed to the top of his head. "The Prime Minister wants to ally with the Dragons. This is a good opportunity for us."
Pan Da did not understand, and Blake did not elaborate. He knew that in the Grand Arcanist's Magic Tower, even a few strands of his hair were not private. So, he just told his subordinate to rest in peace. "The Prime Minister is a man of action. At least the Moon God Clan did not cause trouble. No matter what, he would not directly send us to meet the Moon God. Just stay here obediently. "
"Yes, Lord Holy Lord."
Pan Da was impressed by Blake's shrewdness. Now that the Lord Holy Lord was here, even if the sky fell, he would be there to hold it up. He did not have to worry too much. He went back to his room to sleep.
Blake, on the other hand, sat on the bed helplessly. Looking out the window at the winter scenery of Hollier City, he narrowed his eyes and carefully recalled what Basta and the others had said along the way. Although he did not understand the dragon language, whether it was High Elves, Bringan, or any other language, when the name "Roddy" was mentioned, the pronunciation was the same.
Every time "Roddy" was mentioned, the attitude of the Dragons was very disdainful. Even if he did not know what they were talking about, this attitude of the Dragons towards the humans was obvious. Clearly, even the leaders of the human forces could not win the respect of Basta and the others.
With this premise, Blake naturally had more ideas. Especially … when he learned that Pan Da could summon the "Divine Realm", the "Moon God Clan" in his mind had increased to the point where he could bargain with Roddy.
Meanwhile, in the top-floor office, Roddy did not know that the Lord Holy Lord was thinking too much. He was originally discussing the contents of Houdini's Dream Map with Sally, because this time's adventure in the Forest of Silence had once again verified the validity of his Dream Map … Although the map and description were very vague, the appearance of the "Divine Realm" was indeed a powerful proof of the power of the gods in this world.
As they were talking, Edith knocked on the door, which surprised both of them. However, what she said after she came in made Roddy and Sally's expressions turn serious.
"Okay, I understand."
Roddy's voice was low. He did not say how to deal with it, but when he said this, it was obvious that he was not friendly.
Edith then frowned slightly. "The Lord Holy Lord of the Moon God Clan seems to have some other ideas."
"Why? Are they still thinking of stirring up trouble when they are already here?"
"They probably just think that they have more bargaining chips." Edith could not see through the Lord Holy Lord's thoughts. Roddy was not in a hurry. "Then let them be for two days. The people of the 'Holy Assembly' are not fools. Since they know to change, they should know the severity of the situation. Let's see if they are willing to cooperate. It's best if they can figure it out themselves. "
As he said this, he rolled up the piece of parchment. "If they still have unrealistic fantasies, then we can only take more extreme measures."
Edith did not say anything. From the Prime Minister's point of view, the stability of the kingdom was the most important thing. No ruler would want to see a group of people who would not behave well under their noses. This was the case even if they had the support of the Gods.
Sally remained silent. It was not because she did not want to participate, but because the Queen was not in a good state.
She suddenly covered her mouth and coughed twice. Edith frowned slightly. "Your Majesty, you still need to rest."
"Ah … I'm fine. I'm fine."
Sally sat on an armchair. Her face was pale. At this time, she was holding the Viper's Kiss scepter in her hand. The three snakes that usually liked to play around did not appear. Since the end of the battle, the scepter itself had become a dead piece of wood. Although she could still feel the presence of the three snakes, they seemed to be in hibernation and did not respond.
Although she said that she was fine, she still could not help coughing after a few deep breaths.
Roddy hurriedly held a cup of water for her to drink. If Sally's illness was just a common cold, as a mage, she could cure it with a wave of her hand. But the "weak" debuff on her body could not be dispelled. Roddy studied it for a long time and confirmed that this status could not be treated with potions or other methods, and there was no countdown for the duration … This meant that if no measures were taken, it would last forever.
Sally's condition had not improved in the past few days. At this time, she was also in a state of illness. Roddy could see that she was forcing herself to work, but her tired and haggard face could not hide the truth.
For this reason, Roddy had decided to use political power to find a solution. But the Dragons' methods were ineffective, Edith was helpless, and magic could not cure her. The hope of looking elsewhere was extremely slim.
People were not machines. If she continued to be affected by this weakness, Sally's body would collapse sooner or later. Today, Roddy had already found that her upper HP had dropped by dozens of points compared to the day before … Although it was very slight, it was obviously not a good sign. For this reason, Roddy was a little anxious, but he could not show it in front of her because Sally obviously did not know how serious her condition was.
"I'll go back to sleep later. I'll probably be fine in a few days. Don't worry, I know what to do. "
Sally tried to squeeze a smile, held the cup of water and took a sip, then said: "What about Kardashian …"
Edith suddenly said: "He has already gone to the laboratory, and he also brought a few of his friends."
Roddy's fingers suddenly clenched and then loosened. This movement was very subtle, and even the expression on his face did not change, but Sally was sharp and immediately said: "Roddy, at this time, should we pay attention to the way we deal with it?"
The Prime Minister and the Monarch had just signed several important contracts with the Dragons. The two sides had become very close partners, so this "honeymoon period" must be avoided as much as possible to avoid conflict. But … Roddy narrowed his eyes and nodded: "Yes, the way we deal with it is very important."
He suddenly got up and touched Sally's cheek: "Have a good rest here. I'll go deal with it and be back soon."
