The laboratory in the Hercino Magic Tower was more advanced than the one in the Dragon Tower. This was what Kardashian and the other four "Honorary Elders" felt.
After losing the Dragon Crystal, their magic level was greatly reduced, so they had to rely more on various magic circles and experimental equipment for research. This was not easy for the dragons to get used to. In the past few days, they tried to resume their previous research, but found that if they wanted to continue, they would first have to create a large number of basic types of magic circles to make up for their lack of ability.
So they made a new experiment plan and began to divide the work.
Fortunately, the laboratory here had the excuse of directly supplying energy through crystals, which was analogous to a "power socket." This saved them the step of inserting crystals every time they made a magic circle. But even so, their progress on the material melting magic circle was still very slow.
"No wonder human magicians are so incompetent. The efficiency of using magic like this is really too low."
Stika complained in a low voice, but his hands were accurately engraving a new magic circle. Now that they had to do everything by themselves, the Dragons also experienced the pain brought by the deviation of the details. Things that could be completed with their minds in the past, now they had to do it by hand. If there was a slight error, they had to start all over again.
Rubens was the most impatient. After chiseling six magic circles, he took the raw materials to practice his accuracy again. Iscar and Essien were the most down-to-earth. They were neither arrogant nor rash when doing things, and were the most efficient among the five.
Kardashian was not in a hurry to make magic circles. She was now reading the magic books of human magicians. She used to read these books just for fun, and she even laughed at the stupidity of the writers. But now, her purpose was different. When she used her limited power to understand and learn again, she suddenly felt that she had learned a lot of new things. Because of her different perspective, when she re-understood the way of thinking of these magicians, the logic and thinking were completely different from that of the Dragons was really an unexpected gain for her.
Compared to the others, Kardashian could be said to be "starting from zero" at this time. The books she flipped through were for beginner-level magicians. They were all the most basic knowledge of magic. Although they were very low-level, she still enjoyed reading them. However, just as she was about to finish the book, Edith suddenly appeared beside her, startling her. In the past, the Grand Arcanist would never appear in the room for no reason. Kardashian was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Edith make a "shush" gesture with one hand, and the other hand gently tapped on the book in front of her, and then disappeared.
Everything happened too quickly. The other four people in the room were busy with the things at hand. They didn't even notice what happened in the corner.
Kardashian first glanced at them, then turned her eyes to the page in her hand, and found that there were a few lines of words condensed by the elements in the blank space. As soon as she finished reading, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory. Rubens was close to the door, so he didn't think much and directly opened the door. He thought it was other apprentices in the tower who came to deliver experimental materials, but it turned out to be Dragons in front of him.
"Huh? You … are Basta? "
Rubens saw the obvious characteristics of the Frost Dragon Race and asked, "Why, who are you looking for?"
"Sorry to disturb you, 'Elders'. We just want to come and greet you." Basta's attitude was very polite at this time. He then looked inside and said, "By the way … I want to talk to Elder Kardashian about something. I wonder if it's convenient?"
Rubens's mind was thinking about how to reduce the error of the magic circle. The Black Dragon Herrlöw was generally straightforward, and as an elite, Rubens had always been very arrogant. He had always been too lazy to talk nonsense in social interactions, and he didn't care about giving face. So he didn't think much and turned his head to shout, "Kardashian, someone is looking for you!"
The people in the room raised their heads, and when they saw the five Dragons outside the door, they stopped what they were doing. Basta directly walked in with a smile on his face, and he kept saying 'Elders'. However, his expression was too fake, and Iscar felt uncomfortable looking at it. "Ah, Basta, Aglais, Leuve, Dean … You're all here?"
If one were to rank the abilities of the young elites of the Dragon Tribe, Iskar, who possessed the Dragon Crystal, would be ranked first. In the past, the other members of the younger generation of the Dragon Tribe would have to greet him politely when they saw him. Iscar was not as heartless as Rubens. He remembered many faces, and he recognized the names of the people in front of him.
However, this was not the time. In the past, when they saw Iscar, they had to be respectful. Now, these people had a casual attitude. Even though they spoke politely, their eyes were looking around casually, and they were very curious about the magic circle.
Basta stood at the front and smiled. "I thought the Elders had returned to the Dragon Tower. I didn't expect you to still be here!"
"In about a week, they will go to the Dragon Tower, and then leave with Prime Minister Roddy."
Iscar explained. Basta raised his eyebrows. "By the way, how are you going back? Do you need us to give you a ride? "
This was touching a sore spot. After losing the Dragon Crystal, Iscar could not transform into a dragon, and he could not rely on his meager magical power to fly all the way back. Basta seemed to be eager to help, but in fact, he was secretly sarcastic — sure enough, Iscar frowned, but he had good self-restraint. His tone did not change. "Don't worry, the transport plane can take us there directly. The speed is not much slower."
"Transport plane? Is it something made by the Prime Minister? I heard people talking about it before, but I didn't expect you to have a chance to sit on it! "
Basta laughed. He and the four Dragons behind him laughed together, but Iscar and the others remained silent. Rubens only then came to his senses. He was about to speak, but Stika pulled him back. "You forgot to pull out the magic circle crystal. Hurry up and clean it up."
In fact, the magic circle here did not need crystals. Rubens knew what it meant when he stopped, so he muttered and walked to his workbench.
He took a deep breath and remembered that he was no longer the elite Dragons of the past. That Black Dragon Herrlöw by the name of Leuve used to bow and scrape whenever he saw him, but now he was arrogant. Everything showed that his status had changed.
And Kardashian, who was standing at the innermost, squinted for a long time. At this time, she broke the silence. "Basta, what's the matter?"
"Well, there's something I want to tell you. It's quite important."
