At the end of the war in the Kingdom of Karen, the Dragons were exposed to an "infection" scandal. A large number of Dragons were sent to the Hercino Magic Tower for isolation treatment, and Sally, Roddy, and Edith were called the "attending physicians" responsible for them.
After Sally's long-term dispel, the "infected" Dragons could not be said to be completely cured, but more than 90% of them were no longer in danger. However, most of them still stayed here. Rather than saying that they were receiving treatment, it was better to say that they continued to enjoy the "convenience" of the Magic Tower.
That's right, for the Dragons, the Hercino Magic Tower was indeed "convenient."
What kept the Dragons here was not the popular "entertainment area." After all, those entertainment activities were the same no matter where they went. The reason was still the "points system."
Because now, the so-called "points" were no longer simply the currency used in the tower.
After the battle in the Silent Forest where Bati transformed into a demon, the five major Dragons had completely implemented the "points punishment system" within the clan in order to refresh the atmosphere.
The elders in the clan were always troubled by those who were lazy and did not want to make progress. Don't think that all Dragons were studious and motivated. Characters like Basta and Aglais could be considered as above average among the Dragons. It was enough to show how many "trash" there were within the Dragons.
In the past, the major Dragons did not think much of these fellows who were dragging them down. After all, the Dragons had a low fertility rate, and every member needed to be cherished. Coupled with their natural strength and talent, even the worst Dragons still had an overwhelming advantage when facing most of their enemies. This made "making do and living" become the creed of many dragons.
It was said that the Dragons were "arrogant" because they were almost invincible without doing anything. Others might not be able to climb the mountain peak even after several lifetimes, but this group of fellows were born lying on the top of the mountain peak … With such talent, it was not surprising that they had lost their ambition.
However, due to the demon crisis, the lords took the opportunity of the alliance between the five Dragons and humans to promote the "Points Punishment System": All members of the Dragons had to earn enough points by publishing academic articles, completing missions, and so on, on a quarterly basis, in order to "pass". If they could not meet the requirements within three months, they would have to accept the punishment.
This rule immediately caused the lazy guys to complain incessantly. Writing papers? Experiment? It sounded simple, but there were plenty of people within the Dragons who did not know the ropes. As a result, recently, more and more Dragons came to Hercino Magic Tower. Some of them wanted to use their connections to plead for leniency, some really wanted to learn how to write papers, and some wanted to see if they could plagiarize one or two papers to get away with it …
But no matter what, the situation of the Dragons was completely stirred up.
Blake did not know how far the cooperation between the Dragons and Roddy had progressed. The recent "Age of Cullen" did not show that the two sides were "close". However, as he followed the servant up the fourth floor, the number of Dragons that walked past him had reached nearly thirty.
This number was unimaginable.
Although most of the Dragons communicated in the dragon language, when they spoke to the apprentices in the Magic Tower, they used the Bringan language. Blake listened carefully and realized that these Dragons were asking about topics such as "the lab is lacking certain materials", "where do I go to submit my paper", and so on.
Obviously, the Dragons that went in and out of the various labs were busy with their research … and it was magic research.
Blake's heart sank as he watched. Things did not seem to be as simple as he thought.
Along the way to the top floor of the Magic Tower, Blake did not see any of the various formations that were set up to highlight the rank. There was no shocking number of servants or guards here. The door of the room that Roddy was in was no different from the other places, except for the wooden sign that said "Lab-3". The servant knocked on the door, and after asking for permission in a low voice, Blake was allowed to enter.
He was a little stunned. He did not expect that the current number one person in the kingdom was not in a "meeting hall" or something like that, but in a lab. Thinking about the Dragons downstairs, Blake realized that even if his strength was a hundred times stronger, he would not dare to behave atrociously in a Magic Tower full of Dragons.
"Prime Minister."
Blake cleared his throat. When he was about to say something, Roddy, who was writing something on the test bench, interrupted, "Let's talk later."
There were some instruments on the test bench. Blake looked around, and then he was shocked by Jingle who was lying in the corner. He could tell that the Wood Elf was not in a normal state at a glance, but he could not ask since Roddy was here.
"Go back first."
Roddy said to Jingle without looking up, and the latter obediently turned around and crawled back into the Demiplane Lair. At this time, Roddy had put down the quill in his hand, stood up and said, "I don't have much time, so I'll make it short."
Blake's scalp was a little tight. He came with the mentality of "negotiation" today, but it seemed that Roddy did not have such an idea at all, because he did not seem to care about the "Holy Assembly" at all.
"According to what your 'Holy Assembly' has done before, it is not a problem for me to catch all of you and kill you. But it is meaningless to kill so many people. Today, I will give you two choices. You choose. "
Roddy looked tired because he had not slept all night, thinking about all kinds of problems. Now he was too lazy to look at Blake, and he just rubbed his eyebrows.
Holy Lord Blake clenched his fists. Roddy was too arrogant. He did not care about the "Holy Assembly" at all!
But what could he say? Because what Roddy said was true! With the current foundation of the "Holy Assembly", where could they hide after being exposed in the Kingdom of Karen? Could they, as a group of arcanists, defeat the crystal cannon?
"I …"
Blake bit the bullet and said, "Well, Prime Minister … the Holy Assembly has now become the Moon God Clan, I —"
Although he was captured by the Dragons, thinking of the Dragons' attitude towards Roddy, Blake still decided to take a risk. He also had a trump card in his hand. According to the principle of negotiation, he was qualified to test the Holy Assembly.
But before he could finish his words, Roddy interrupted him.
"If you want to listen, then listen. If not, I will let you die here today and find someone else to continue."
The current "leader" of the Kingdom of Karen raised his eyes. "Do you understand what I mean?"
Blake swallowed hard. It was hard for him to even breathe. His face was flushed. Only then did he realize that Roddy did not want to "negotiate" at all. But he was not willing to give up. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The Holy Assembly has collected many heritages related to the High Elves in the past 200 years. Before I came here, I have already ordered my men to destroy them if I do not return in ten days …"
Faced with Roddy's aggressive questioning, he had no choice but to use all his cards.
"Are you threatening me?"
