For Dragons who had a much longer lifespan than humans, this kind of punishment did not seem to be too severe. But Roddy knew that Lord Victor had a very precise grasp of the situation.
It was unrealistic to use measures such as beating, scolding, and corporal punishment on Dragons. Putting aside the fact that having thick skin and flesh would not be effective, simple humiliation would not only be meaningless, but it would also easily trigger a rebellious mentality. Basta was a Dragons after all. If he could not bear the humiliation and was forced into a corner, he would be forced to carry out unscrupulous terrorist attacks all over the kingdom. Not to mention Roddy, even the Lord would not be able to stop him.
Locking up Basta would not only ruin his plans for Kardashian, but also prevent him from causing trouble for Roddy for the next fifty years. To be honest, it was unknown how long the current alliance between humans and Dragons could last. If everyone broke up, this ban would probably become invalid immediately. All good things must come to an end. Roddy was not a childish teenager. He knew that Victor was more expressing his "attitude". This was what he needed the most at the moment.
As expected, with the Frost Lord's stance, Crupus and Procasto immediately gave a similar punishment, which was also fifty years.
Although the Lords of the Red and Green Dragons were not present, the Elders still had the right to punish the members of the clan who overstepped their bounds. Therefore, the five Dragons who were here today would have to obediently return to the Dragon Domain for the next few decades …
At this point, Roddy knew when to stop. He would not say whether this punishment was appropriate or not. He just changed the topic and talked for a while about teaching next week before leaving. When he and Edith left together, only the Dragons were left at the dining table.
As for how this group of people would be rewarded and punished, Roddy no longer cared.
"Thank you for your hard work today. If it weren't for the Magic Tower's flexibility, I wouldn't have been able to use it as a pretext today."
Roddy thanked the Grand Arcanist in the corridor. The Grand Arcanist maintained his usual composure and only smiled. "It's appropriate to say that you're using this as a pretext. The Prime Minister is much more capable than the High Elves I've seen. The Kingdom of Karen will prosper under your leadership."
These words sounded like flattery, but Roddy knew that she wasn't the kind of person who flattered others. Since she said it, it must be her true feelings. Because of this, he was naturally in a good mood. After a few words of modesty, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, what do you think about the matter I mentioned before?"
"It's been a long time since I've taught anyone. However, we're facing a common enemy. If my efforts can be of use, I will naturally do my best."
Hearing her reply, Rody felt relieved. He nodded and let her do other things first. With so many dragons around, Edith had to personally oversee a lot of things. Although he had assigned a lot of housekeepers to help manage, Edith still needed to personally oversee a lot of things.
Walking alone in the corridor of the upper floor, Roddy slowly exhaled and began to think about the gains and losses.
Today's incident was sudden, but judging from the outcome, his response was still good. Beating up Basta was part of the plan. To be honest, Roddy had long wanted to beat up this bastard. However, the Prime Minister couldn't just beat someone up to vent his anger. Having controlled the situation of a country for a long time, Roddy had learned to look ten steps ahead before taking one step. Therefore, the subsequent action of justifying the title of "Honorary Elder" could be said to have been done in one go.
However, there were still some accidents. The idea of armor-piercing bullets and "patent protection" were put forward on a whim. These things were originally things that could only be implemented a few years later in his plan. However, with such a perfect opportunity, he naturally couldn't let it go.
Opportunities were always given to those who were prepared. Roddy had come this far, and he knew that this was not a lie.
However, the result of strategizing was that his energy was haggard. Roddy rubbed between his eyebrows, pushed the door open and went to his laboratory. After asking the servant to pour water, he left. Jingle noticed the movement and immediately crawled over and rubbed against his leg. In the past, Roddy would have asked her to stand up. However, he was mentally exhausted today. He was too lazy to even speak. He sat in front of the armchair in silence.
Then, he stared at the cup of water on the coffee table in a daze.
Although everything was on the right track, Roddy's heart was still weighed down by a stone. When he thought of Sally's situation, he had an inexplicable sense of urgency.
On the other side of the Magic Tower, after the meal, the Dragons dispersed. Kardashian was stopped by her father. The two came to a corner. The lord cast a soundproof magic circle and said, "I can see that you agree with Prime Minister Roddy very much."
Then he added, "I'm afraid those formulas are all related to him, right?"
This stunned Kardashian. As a lord, her father was not an idiot like Basta. She had nothing to hide. She nodded and said, "He put forward some ideas, and I helped to improve and summarize them."
She would not say the secret of the space and time prison. Although the advanced calculus she showed today was powerful, it was not enough to subvert her father's understanding. If she brought out something more profound, she was afraid that Victor would not believe this explanation at all.
To put it bluntly, these things shown in the laboratory today were only some of the commonly used theorems in macroscopic physics. The big killer weapons such as the conservation of energy and the law of thermodynamics had not yet shown up. As for the concepts of the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, Kardashian needed to carefully ponder them herself, let alone explain them to them. It was estimated that if she threw out the wave-particle duality of light, this group of elders and lords would go crazy.
Thinking of this, Kardashian continued, "Prime Minister Roddy's ideas are always very jumpy, but it does let me see something beyond the inherent academic theory of the Dragons. He seems to want to establish a complete set of theories to explain everything in this world."
"He wants to do something that even the Dragons can't do. His goal is a bit far."
Victor shook his head. This was actually not wrong. After all, even if the lord of the Dragons said so, most people would think that it was wishful thinking. He just exhaled and said, "But it is normal to have such ambition. I don't think he is a person who is obsessed with power. This is not something that ordinary humans can do. What do you think?"
This was actually a bit of a "cliche". Kardashian immediately became nervous because she knew that whatever she answered could affect the future direction of cooperation between the Frost Dragon Race and humans.
But before she could think of a reply, Victor suddenly said, "Kardashian, you like him?"
"Ah? I, I that … "
Kardashian was caught off guard. After all, the person in front of her was her father. Although she had never been the closest descendant, and her status was not as high as other brothers and sisters who had higher achievements, Victor knew her personality and habits like the back of his hand.
