Outside the Half Plane, July quietly arrived.
The golden sun shone after the rain, and the farmland outside the city was washed by the rain, like a palette of colors. Roddy was sitting on the balcony of the Pasha Magic Tower, leisurely eating lunch with Camilla.
The dining table was not big, and the dishes were not very sumptuous, but it was a rare opportunity for the two to eat alone. After all, Naifei was always clamoring to eat together, and Talia often consulted her recently. Naifei had to spend most of her time in the Half Plane, so naturally, she would not come out to disturb the two.
Camilla was a little shy, but Roddy was enjoying the breeze, which was rare for him. In his memory, the high-end restaurants were often tens of hundreds of stories high, and the feeling of looking down from above was indeed pleasant. He took a sip of red wine and asked Camilla, who had her head lowered, "It's been so many days, are you still worried about Naifei?"
"It's … It's okay. She has indeed grown up." Camilla was actually shy, and the atmosphere was always a little ambiguous when they were alone. She took a breath and said, "In the past, she always had to ask for my opinion, but now Naifei has a lot of ideas in her mind. She can make decisions on her own quickly."
"You can't even call her a child now. Girls from the Kingdom of Karen are about to get married at this age."
Roddy shook his head. After all, in his memory, girls of sixteen or seventeen years old were only in high school. He finished the main course on the plate, and leaned back in the chair to enjoy the scenery in the distance. Camilla asked, "By the way, you said you have something important to do today. What is it?"
"The important thing is to have a quiet meal with you without anyone bothering you. Look at you, it's not good to always frown. Don't always be so nervous."
Hearing this, Camilla's cheeks suddenly flushed. "I … I'm not nervous, I'm quite relaxed."
Then she was held by Roddy, who did not dare to look up at her. He smiled and said, "Now that the kingdom is stabilizing, even if there is a rebellion, it won't be a problem. I also understand now that it's enough to be nervous during the war, and when it's time to relax, it'll be difficult for me to be so relaxed in the future."
"You mean … the news of the Plane Portal?"
Yesterday, there was good news from Hollier. The Plane Portal Research Department under Merinsera's leadership had made a breakthrough. The portal in the laboratory had found an anchor point in the Elemental Plane, and after stabilizing the coordinates, it began to absorb energy from the Elemental Plane and successfully charged the crystals!
Of course, this was just a breakthrough from 'zero to one'. It did not mean that the problem of crystal energy had been solved. Right now, the energy consumed to maintain the teleportation portal was greater than the energy absorbed. When this situation was reversed, it could be said that the problem of crystal energy shortage had been alleviated.
But now that they had grasped the solution, and from the reports of Merinsera and the others, they only needed to find the appropriate coordinates to achieve this goal. After all, this was something that the Dragons and the entire world of magic were paying attention to. Almost all the top talents had invested their efforts in this area, and if they succeeded, they would definitely be rewarded handsomely in the future.
Camilla said this because this news was equivalent to the dividing line between the two eras of the "world of magic". Magic crystal energy had shown a prospect of being used a hundred times more efficiently than magic crystal, and the energy from the Elemental Plane could more effectively share the risks that could be shielded by the "anti-magic domain" …
In the short term, this was an advancement in magic technology, but in the long term, Camilla could confirm that this was definitely the true starting point of the "Plane Counterattack".
Roddy nodded and replied, "The guided missiles are almost done, and the samples will be tested here in the next few days. Also … I'm ready to use the 'Floating Space Tower' project."
"Are you going to make something like Lassman, or …"
"No, Hovela City is flying in this direction. When it arrives, we will find a suitable place near the city to start experimenting. Right now, there is enough cobalt ore to support the first phase of the project. "
At this point, Roddy stopped talking and shook his head. "Let's not talk about this. I'm actually thinking about another problem … I've been thinking about the issue of your freedom recently, and now I've come up with two ways to try and see if they can take you out of this area."
Camilla raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him with surprise. "Haven't you tried many methods?"
"Later on, I suddenly realized that the root of this problem is the problem of 'authority'." Rody pointed at his feet. "Khadgar, as the creator of the city, is equivalent to the maker of the rules. If the whole of Elsen City is compared to a system, then the authority he has is the highest level of existence. Even you, as the guardian, are one level lower than him. "
What Roddy was talking about was actually "administrator" authority. He compared Elsen to a computer, and the highest level administrator was Khadgar.
"And the first method is to forcibly raise your authority to the same level as him, or to directly erase all traces of Khadgar."
This sounded very simple and crude, but Camilla immediately realized that the risk was too great. "Are you planning to use 'Divine Realm Control' to do it … But what if this causes the original magic circle of the city to collapse?"
Roddy also had this worry. Deleting system files randomly would cause the system to collapse. Although the divine power definitely had the authority to erase all traces of Khadgar, it was still a question whether it could maintain the operation of the entire city's magic circle.
The biggest problem was that neither he nor Camilla had the ability to restore or repair such a Grand Arcanist level magic circle. Because the Dragons did not understand the arcane, they also had no way. Even if they let Edith do it, it would also be difficult. She had fallen into a deep sleep earlier than Khadgar, and although she also had the title of Grand Arcanist, it was like two doctors with very different specialties. There was no way they could study each other's topics at will.
So, Roddy slowly said, "The second plan is to expand the scope of the city, so that under the rules, you can expand the area of activity. I want to try to connect the City of Hovela to the territory of Elsen City and make it part of the city."
"So … if it succeeds, I can stay in the floating city and go anywhere?"
Camilla immediately realized that this was very feasible. Although she would not obtain complete "freedom", it was much better than looking at the city in front of her all day long!
Roddy nodded. "But we can only try it when we reach the City of Hovela. Now …"
Halfway through his words, he turned his head to the side because an elder of the Dragons had appeared at the staircase. "Prime Minister Roddy, Talia … just had an argument with her parents."
