The next day.
"Continuing from yesterday's agenda — Document No. 458, Moorfen Academy's proposal to use puppets to build roads …"
Speaker Jeremy rubbed his eyes. Recently, he had less than five hours of rest a day because this war was not as simple as a few small countries trying to plunder resources. If it was really to plunder resources, then the other side would naturally stop after one or two waves.
But since the first attack, more than half a year had passed. Somehow, those obedient countries had been bewitched and had turned their attention to Lassman.
The Lassman Kingdom was not afraid of a simple melee, but the problem was … the enemy was not that simple.
"Mr. Speaker, it's a waste of crystals to use puppets to build roads. Even if it's for the Karen army to go to the border in four months, it's not necessary to build roads now, is it? "
"Senator Barth, didn't you read the document sent by Ambassador Mithran? The Kingdom of Karen's civil war was pacified in a few months because of the road that can transport troops quickly! "
"I second that. Besides, the smooth road is not only for war. It's also good for the development of commerce and the circulation of goods. It's also good for the local towns controlled by the parliament …"
"Objection! It's good to build roads, but do you know how much it costs to build roads? "
"Does the Kingdom of Karen have to do the right thing? They used Lassman's gold coins to build the road, but we have to pay for it ourselves! "
The argument lasted for nearly half an hour, but in the end, the people who opposed the road construction won. Speaker Jeremy knocked the gavel in his hand and said, "Let's vote …"
In the end, the proposal to build roads was not passed. Jeremy was already numb to it. He drank a glass of water, glanced at his pocket watch, and announced the end of the morning meeting.
As soon as he walked out of the meeting hall, a servant ran to Jeremy and whispered, "Mr. Speaker, there was a dragon in the outer city just now …"
"Dragon?" Jeremy shuddered. "What color is it? How big is it? Where is it? "
After listening to the servant's words, Jeremy hesitated again. He thought it was Alva, the Dragons, but the eyewitness report clearly did not match the characteristics of a "Frost Dragon". Could it be that the dragons were up to something?
While he was hesitating, someone else jogged into the hallway of the parliament. Seeing Jeremy, he raised a letter and shouted, "Mr. Speaker!"
Jeremy was even more puzzled. "Whose letter is it?"
As he spoke, he saw the white letter with a wax seal and raised his eyebrows. "When was this letter written?"
"My lord, just now outside the parliament … a female, female elf gave it to me."
Jeremy realized something and immediately opened the envelope. After reading it, he destroyed the letter and said to the two people in front of him, "Okay, it's fine now."
His face was expressionless, but the tightly clenched fists under his sleeves exposed this chairman's current mood.
At the same time, Mairin Sera was busy in the lab as usual.
Although she appeared to be calm after talking to Naifei the day before, she didn't sleep well that night. However, thinking about the upcoming reunion, Merlinsera was very energetic, and she was quickly perfecting her new idea with her quill.
After solving the problem of constructing the mageweath, she began to calculate the energy needed to open the plane. After recording everything down, Merlinsera began to skillfully operate a large magic circle in the lab …
The ring-shaped magic circle in front of her was constructed with more than eight kinds of materials. It was the "Elemental Plane Portal" that she had spent half a year constructing and improving.
Of course, this portal was on a completely different level from the "Demon's Gate". The "Demon's Gate" could allow creatures to pass through directly, and even the Demon Lord could cast spells on this plane. If the "Demon's Gate" was a swimming pool, then this Elemental Plane Portal could only be considered a "dropper".
It could only allow Merlinsera to communicate with the Elemental Plane for a limited time and absorb the power of the Elemental Plane, but it couldn't allow any elemental creatures to pass through.
The magic circle was activated, and after adjusting the coordinates with ease, a small floating ball with a diameter of less than one centimeter appeared in the center of the ring-shaped magic circle. If one looked closely, they would see that this floating ball reflected the distorted scenery of another world.
However, there were no trees, sea, or land in that world, only colorful elemental clouds. Merlinsera began to fine-tune the coordinates on the magic circle, and when the ball reflected an orange light, she stopped. Then, she took out a black stone and positioned it in a groove in the magic circle.
After that, she began to control the pure fire elemental energy in the Elemental Plane along the path of the magic circle, and guided it into the stone. This process was slow and arduous. Even though Merlinsera had excellent control over her magic power, she still persisted for nearly two hours, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
She didn't dare to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She picked up her wand and aimed it at the stone with a magnifying lens that she had ground herself. She narrowed her eyes and began to etch the mageweath.
However, at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the lab.
"Tut, tut."
Merlinsera's brows instantly furrowed, but she didn't stop her work. If she didn't use the mageweath to seal the elemental energy in time, her previous work would have been in vain.
Her lab was considered a restricted area in the academy. Even Magisters and Councilors wouldn't easily visit her. After another twenty minutes, Merlinsera completely sealed the stone. She let out a sigh of relief, walked to the table at the side, and drank a glass of water.
During this time, there were no more knocks on the door, but after some thought, she guessed that only the people from the Councilors would dare to knock on the door. In the end, she took the stone in her hand and walked over to open the door.
Roddy was standing outside the door, and he was currently staring at the "Do Not Disturb" sign that Merlinsera had handwritten. Hearing the noise, he turned around and smiled. "I don't even dare to knock a second time. I'm afraid that you'll blast me away with a fireball."
Merlinsera's eyes widened. After blinking a few times, she forcefully suppressed the urge to smile. Her expression was incomparably calm as she said, "Prime Minister, why did you suddenly want to come to a place like this?"
He had been thrown to the other side of the sea and rarely wrote to her. Even though they were 'friends' on the surface, Rody could still hear the resentment in Merinsera's voice.
He knew that he couldn't explain blindly now, so he relaxed and said, "I just arrived outside the city ten minutes ago. I haven't had much water for the whole night. Do you have water here?"
Only then did Merlinsera realize that he was wearing leather armor, and his cloak was extremely thick and had many wrinkles. At the same time, he looked a little tired.
"I only have cold water."
Although that was what she said, she still stepped aside from the door. After entering the lab, she strode to the other side of the experiment table. She raised her hand and wrapped the ceramic kettle with fire elements. She quickly heated the water and poured it into the only cup in the lab.
