"I set off from Hollier City last night and flew the entire night."
Roddy held the cup of hot water in both hands. After taking two sips, he realized that there was no place to sit, so he could only lean on the test bench and continue, "The Shadow Dragon flies very fast, but it's not easy for it to fly such a long distance."
Merlinsera knew about his encounter with the Shadow Dragons in the letter. She thought that she was the only one left of the Shadow Dragons, but she didn't expect there to be a "fish that slipped through the net". However, the Shadow Dragons didn't have much intelligence, so she was more concerned about the other information in Roddy's words …
"You … just arrived?"
"Yes, I just asked Natha to send a letter to Speaker Jeremy. She asked him to talk to her tonight. I came here alone. " Roddy glanced to the side as he spoke. "When I entered the academy and mentioned your name, the mages all stayed away from me. They looked at me as if I was a criminal sentenced to death. It seems like there have been a lot of unlucky people recently?"
"What bad luck?" Merinsala couldn't help but chuckle. "Those people asked for it!"
Hearing the laughter, Roddy felt that he had passed the test. However, Merlinsera didn't give him a chance. She said, "Why are you in such a hurry? There must be something urgent, right? "
Roddy's nerves jumped again, and he tried to make his expression more natural. "One is to fulfill the agreement of the war. To put it bluntly, it's to train the soldiers. The other is … Sally's physical condition. "
Merlinsera raised her eyebrows. "Oh, that Duke's daughter. I heard that you made her the ruler. Did something happen? "
Her tone was obviously much colder, and this was the result of Merlinsera's efforts to control herself. Roddy held the cup of hot water and explained everything that happened to Sally in detail.
"I don't know much about Divine Artifacts, so I can't help you with these things."
Of course, Roddy didn't expect her to help, but when he saw that she was a Level 41 Elementalist, he was a little curious. "You … broke through?"
"Yes, it took a lot of effort."
She adjusted her tone, and changed the topic to the spell formation. "I didn't expect Lassman to have so much research on interdimensional travel. It's too difficult to create a teleportation portal that allows living beings to pass through, but I can already use this spell formation to communicate with other planes."
Roddy was obviously more interested in this topic. The two of them talked for a while about the issue of interdimensional travel. When it came to the unification war, he could not help but confess about the current political structure of the Kingdom of Karen. "The alliance with the Dragons was a last resort. Whether it was to fight against the demonic invasion or the future war against the demons — most importantly, the Dragons have acknowledged that the invasion against the Shadow Dragons was a mistake. And because of this incident, the Red Dragons and the Green Dragons were deposed and are still in prison."
Roddy didn't mention any of this in his previous letters. Because of Merlinsera's background, hatred was almost impossible to erase. If he wanted to talk about it, he would have to explain it in detail in person.
After all, Merlinsera's entire clan was killed by these dragons, and she was almost killed. If Roddy knew all this and still tried to persuade her to "forgive the other Dragons", he would really be asking for trouble.
He and Merlinsera had been through life and death together, and there was a faint affection between them. But, "only children know right from wrong, adults only look at the pros and cons." When faced with a higher level of threat, even if he had to choose again, Roddy would still not reject the opportunity to ally with the Dragons.
Personal hatred and the safety of the plane were not on the same level.
"Now, the Kingdom has a comprehensive cooperation with the Dragons in terms of scientific research. At the same time, because of the battle against the demons, five dragons lost their Magic Crystal and obtained the status of researchers in the Kingdom of Karen. These things … I need to apologize to you because I didn't discuss it with you beforehand … "
The laboratory fell into silence.
Roddy saw Merlinsera staring at the ground with her head slightly lowered. Her knuckles were pale from holding the black stone in her hand.
"So … so many things have happened."
Merlinsera's voice was a little shaky, but her heaving chest showed that she was very agitated at the moment. But she did not lose her temper. Instead, she quietly walked to the cabinet at the side and opened the wooden door.
Only then did Roddy understand what the stone in her hand was for. There were more than 30 arrows on the wooden shelf in the cabinet, and the arrowheads were made from the black, shuttle-shaped stone.
"The arrows are not attached. I know you like to adjust your arrows yourself, so I left some room for interception."
Merlinsera fixed the stone in her hand on the shaft of an arrow. She did not use magic to fix it, but instead used a special thin rope to wrap around the fine lines that had been drawn long ago.
This step was very meticulous. Roddy looked at the arrowheads of the other arrows, and there was not even a bulge in the binding area … No one knew how much time and materials she had used to make these arrows.
Seeing her slow binding, Roddy felt very depressed … If Merlinsera reprimanded him loudly or kicked him a few times, it would mean that there was still room for discussion.
But she did not do anything about it.
At this moment, Roddy was not stupid enough to say something like "I'm doing this for the good of everyone".
He took a few deep breaths and said in a low voice, "The cooperation with the Dragons cannot continue forever, and I do not intend to rely on the Dragons for everything. Humans and dragons have never stood on the same footing. I'm afraid this situation will not happen again in the future. "
"Yes."
Merlinsera placed the arrows on the shelf and did not speak after a simple response.
It was obvious that she was angry. This made Rody a little numb, but what else could he do?
Persuade her to be more optimistic?
If that was the case, they probably would not meet again.
"There is one more thing. I think … it might be a way to solve the problem."
"Solve what problem?"
Merlinsera crossed her arms and looked out the window.
"Err … how should I say this …" Roddy took a deep breath. "Because of something, I met a god."
This topic finally piqued Merlinsera's interest. She frowned and turned to look at him. "In your dreams?"
This was not sarcasm. Most of the recorded "revelations" were related to dreams. Roddy hurriedly explained, "It was in a … Mage Tower from the High Elves' era. But this god is not in this world, but in another realm …"
He briefly told her about Perseus. Even though Rody didn't explain the concept of a quantum computer to her, she could understand what he was trying to convey.
