"Alright, don't look at me with that expression."
Seeing that Roddy did not dare to speak, Merinsera stopped cleaning up the magic circle and turned around with a smile. "Why are you still so timid after becoming the Prime Minister? Weren't you just talking and laughing in front of a group of Dragons? "
Roddy rubbed his nose. He was actually not afraid of anything, but he felt a little awkward. Merinsera had such a huge grudge against the other Dragons that they almost quarreled over when he first came here. But he never expected that after the Tuk Tribe's matter was over and Sally had recovered, Merinsera would take the initiative to suggest going to Hollier City to do research.
She was not at all cowardly in front of Victor and the other Lords because they were both representatives of different forces and had different perspectives on things. But when it came to Merinsera … Roddy's judgment was more based on his personal feelings. He was afraid that Merinsera would feel uncomfortable going to Hollier City which was full of other Dragons, but he felt that he was in no position to persuade her, so he did not say anything for the time being.
"I-I don't really have any achievements in magic, so I don't really understand the current academic level of Lachman."
He casually said a few words, but Merinsera immediately saw through him. "Alright, alright, I know what you're worried about. Lachman does have a fairly fair academic environment, but I've seen their ceiling in the past two years. There's really not much point in continuing."
She put the last set of magic circles into the wooden box and sealed it with a spell. Then, she said seriously, "Although the sorcerers of Rassman pursue 'truth', if they don't study theology, I'm afraid the process will take much longer than you think. They are full of resistance to theology, and they even slander everything that has anything to do with theology. This is tantamount to mixing too many political factors into the academic atmosphere. In my opinion, it's like walking with a limp."
Roddy naturally had a deep understanding of this. Lachman's foundation was built on opposition to theology. If they were to put aside their hatred to study theology, it would be equivalent to shaking the foundation of their rule … Even if there were benefits, the Mages would never do it.
Based on this train of thought, he understood Merlinsera's train of thought and felt relieved. "I see …"
"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I'll get into a fight with the other Dragons? Am I that childish? "
Merinsala tilted her head and continued, "Or are you worried about a certain king, a certain priest, or a certain female bodyguard who carries a bow every day … Oh, and a crazy Frost Dragon princess?"
Roddy didn't dare to answer her question, so he changed the topic abruptly. "No, that, I was thinking … If you have a more suitable research direction, I will ask the research department to provide you with more research funds or something. Anyway, you are one of us, so you must be given special treatment, right?"
"You're finally saying something with a conscience."
Of course, Merinsera could tell that Roddy didn't want to retort, but in the end, she was still a little unhappy, which was why she always joked about this matter … But when it came to serious matters, her expression turned serious. "Of course, I still plan to continue studying the elemental plane, but my current direction is in the area of 'conversion' — not inside the body, but outside the body first. For example, I want to see if I can absorb energy from the elemental plane and directly charge it into the crystal."
After she finished speaking, Roddy was stunned. "Then … doesn't that mean that the Charged Crystal can avoid the effects of the 'anti-magic domain'?"
"It's just a theory, I still need to test it out, but this effect is indeed possible."
Merinsera looked at Roddy with some pride. "What do you think? Is this research goal enough for me to get some subsidies?"
"It's more than enough …"
Roddy rubbed the space between his eyebrows and smiled bitterly. "This is completely a strategic research goal, you can totally set up a separate department to study it. Actually, the Dragons have always dabbled in the power of the 'elemental plane', but their achievements in this area seem to be far from Solomon's level. If you can go and show them your current abilities, I think that group of Dragons will definitely not resist following up your research. After all, this situation is not considered rare. "
Merinsera was very surprised. "You're not making this up on purpose, are you? Aren't there a lot of Dragons in Hollier City? "
However, Roddy just looked at her and blinked. "Have you been a 'human' for too long that you've forgotten how many people in the Dragons fish in troubled waters?"
"Huh?"
With this reminder, Merinsera remembered that there were also a lot of good-for-nothings in the Shadow Dragons, who did nothing and learned nothing. She slapped her head with her hand and sighed. "It seems that I really thought too highly of them. I thought that they were all lords or elders doing research all day long."
Roddy smiled. "Lords and elders are indeed there, and former lords like Queo also write papers all day long. It's just that the overall level of the Dragons is not uniform. With your level and ability, I think it's not a problem to let some people who don't like to use their brains work for you."
"Letting a group of enemies work under me sounds like a good idea," Merinsera said casually.
However, when she saw that Roddy wanted to say something, she did not dare to continue.
She knew that this guy was actually concerned about her, so she said, "Don't think too much about it. I actually want to find out the truth now. I thought that you were just guessing, but the demon that appeared in the battle, speaking of which … it looks like a missing elder of my clan."
"You mean … the guy whose head was chopped off by me?"
Rody thought of the gigantic Demon Overlord that looked like a Shadow Dragon. "Victor and the others have already moved their corporeal bodies to the demiplane. They said that they are going to freeze them and study them carefully. I had thought about inviting you to take a look at them, but … I am afraid that you will not be able to hide your identity when you are with those Demon Overlords."
Merinsera did not have much of a reaction after hearing this. She just lowered her eyes and replied, "Then I'll wait until I don't have to hide my identity, and they also take me seriously."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and used her magic to float the wooden luggage boxes in the air. Then, she walked out of the city.
Roddy followed beside her and walked out of Duriel City with her. They took the carriage that was prepared in the city and arrived at the "Aerospace Mothership" outside the city. Then, they passed through the "entrance" in the middle of the city through the magic circle.
When they arrived at the transport plane, Merinsera found that Roddy had boarded the plane with her. She raised her eyebrows. "Don't you need to stay here and have a meeting with them? I remember that you have a lot of things to do. "
Roddy smiled. "Taking you back is the last thing."
Merinsera's ears suddenly turned red, but she did not show it on her face. She nodded and said, "I see …"
However, when she sat on the chair and looked out of the window, she found that she was smiling in the reflection of the glass.
