Elson City had changed a lot after such a long time. Roddy looked at the city that now belonged to him, and his heart was filled with emotion.
He was able to dominate the Kingdom of Karen and become the Prime Minister because of the support of the Lucifron family. On the other hand, it was the city that gave him the confidence.
Although the kingdom had begun to centralize its power, all the income of Elson City was legally in Roddy's pocket. There was a source of cash, soldiers, and all kinds of defense weapons. Even if the Kingdom of Karen was invaded by other forces, Elson City would be Roddy's last fortress.
Fortunately, he did not need to face such a harsh enemy now.
After coming out of the airport, Roddy sat in the spacious carriage reserved for him in the city. He was not so extravagant as to use crystals for everything. It was only about a kilometer of road. Riding in a four-wheeled carriage on a flat road was not much different from riding in a crystal car.
It was Naify who came to pick him up. The little girl was wearing a red robe today. She sat opposite Roddy and chattered non-stop. Obviously, she was very interested in Roddy's next plan.
"Brother Roddy, I still have the permission to read this plan. Does it have anything to do with me? I think Elder Crupus doesn't even let other members of the Dragons see it … "
"Yes, I need your help. That's why I didn't ask you to go to Hollier City. But you can take a plane there and listen to the lectures. Some of them should be very helpful for puppets. "
Roddy leaned on the comfortable cushion in the carriage and turned his head to look out of the window.
Because of Camilla's good management, Elson City did not have many residential areas full of garbage like in Hollier City. After all, the foundation of the city here came from the High Elves. The drainage and sewage pipes were designed very reasonably, and it was rarely disturbed by the weather. It was very comfortable.
Compared with Hollier City, which had become the "Holy Land of Magic", Elson City was more like a huge "transportation hub city." Railways, roads, and air routes all intersected here. At the same time, because two coal mines had been opened within eight kilometers of this area, Kardashian's improved second-generation steam train was put into use here.
Roddy looked at the rising black smoke in the distance. He was not interested in thinking about the problem of "air pollution". There were only a few similar trains in the entire kingdom. It was too early to talk about it. On the other hand, there were also large chimneys emitting smoke from the river outside the city. They should be specialized smelting and metal processing plants. Vaguely, they could hear the sound of Jingle.
As he was thinking about this, he noticed that Naifei was silent. He asked curiously, "Is there something on your mind?"
Naiffy shook her head and rolled her eyes. She pointed at the direction of the Pasha Magic Tower and then pointed at her ear. Roddy was stunned for a moment before he remembered that no movement in Elsen City could escape Camilla's surveillance.
"There's nothing you can't say. Why are you doing this?"
Roddy asked casually. "I don't remember your mother being so strict."
Naiffy rolled her eyes and made a face. She did not speak, which made Roddy feel strange. He relaxed and leaned back in the chair. "You're going to be scolded even more. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll back you up."
"Brother Roddy, let's talk. My mother actually …"
"Da da."
There was a knock on the door. Naiffy quickly covered her mouth and mouthed, "Look, look!"
"Prime Minister, can I get in the carriage?"
Hearing Camilla's words, Rody could not help but laugh out loud. That was because the carriage was still moving and the sound was coming from outside the carriage. Camilla was most likely standing on the footboard and knocking on the door.
"What are you talking about outside the carriage? Hurry up and come in."
He smiled and got up to open the door. When he saw Camilla, he was stunned for half a second. That was because the 'Guardian' was wearing a sky-blue dress. She had light makeup on her face and her long hair was coiled up. She had a sharp chin and a pair of big eyes. Rody even had the strange illusion that if she were to sit next to Naifei, he would not be able to tell that they were mother and daughter.
When she sat opposite him with a red face, Roddy found that he was wrong. If he said that they were twins with different hair colors, people would probably believe it.
After all, Camilla's power had been greatly improved after receiving Khadgar's inheritance. She was connected to the energy of the whole city, so she almost did not age. Naiffy was seventeen years old this year. Obviously, she already looked like an adult. Both of them were at the peak of their beauty. The only difference was their temperament.
Seeing that her mother did not hesitate to get on the carriage in such a way to interrupt her, Naiffy's eyes almost rolled to the sky. She looked to the side and did not say a word.
Camilla gently pinched her thigh through the robe, causing Naifei's mouth to twitch. Rody looked at Naifei's pouting face and quickly said, "Alright, alright. Naifei has already grown up. What is there that you can't say?"
"That's right!"
"You finally found someone to back you up, right?"
Camilla raised her eyebrows at her daughter. Naiffy immediately pretended to be timid and hid to the side. This kind of atmosphere was relaxed. But Roddy looked at Camilla and felt a little guilty. He apologized, "I'm sorry … I was delayed by a lot of things and couldn't come."
"What's there to apologize for …"
Camilla did not expect Roddy to say this directly. Although she said it was not a big deal, she still looked down. It was not a good feeling to wait here like a stone waiting for her husband. But she was very reserved in this aspect and never dared to take the initiative to express it.
Beside her, Naifei blinked her eyes. Of course, she knew what her mother was thinking. However, if she opened her mouth now, she would probably be "punished" by Camilla later. Therefore, Naifei pretended to look out of the window and pretended not to hear anything.
Roddy saw Camilla lowered her head like an ostrich. He knew it was not good to continue this topic, so he asked, "How are the preparations on Kazwera's side?"
"The first stage of memory erasing has been completed by Lord Crupus. They are now confirming it. The next stage will probably start in three days."
Camilla was obviously interested when she said this. "Roddy, I'm really curious about your idea. Can you really use this method to control a person … Oh no, control a person's free will? When I carefully thought about your method, I always felt something indescribable … I even felt a little scared. "
"I'm just trying."
Roddy thought for a moment and said softly, "Actually, it's normal to be scared about this kind of thing. Because we have experienced it many times … Both openly and secretly, we are more or less affected. The simplest one is this. "
He took out the newspaper that was placed in the carriage. This was the most recent issue. The cover was a group photo of Sally the First attending the ceremony of the Moon God Clan's shrine in Hollier City. Below it were some official praises.
Camilla looked at the content and seemed to understand something. "You mean, people will be subconsciously influenced by the surrounding information and be guided in a certain direction?"
"Yes."
Roddy replied and said softly, "And what we are going to do to Kazwera is actually a deeper level of brainwashing."
