Her hatred was like a nameless fire. When her relatives and friends were killed in the pursuit of the Dragons, Merinsera swore to avenge them.
Her desire for revenge had never been extinguished. Now, her anger towards the Dragons had dissipated, not because she had given up on the idea of revenge, but because she had finally figured out who she should be seeking revenge against.
When Roddy said that Cazevera was the real murderer, Merinsera thought that he was just trying to change the topic. However, when she had a large group of Dragons working for her, it was much easier to get the information she wanted. Now, she had figured out many details that she had never known before, and her opinion of the dragons had changed again and again.
She even met Lord Quayo, whom she wanted to kill the most, in the canteen.
However, when Merinsera found out that some of the node technologies in the "Elemental Plane Portal" required Quayo's research papers as technical support, she felt an indescribable mix of emotions.
She went to look up Quayo's research papers and found that he had published more than 50 of them, and more than 20 of them were highly cited and highly rated. It could even be said that Quayo had single-handedly raised the level of understanding of the "Fire Element" among all the Mages in the Kingdom of Karen by using this method of knowledge sharing.
Merinsera didn't understand why he did this at first, until she talked to Iscar about Quayo, and the Honorary Elder finally gave her the answer: "He is atoning for his sins."
So, Merinsera stopped thinking about those trivial things and focused on her current work. As she worked, she gradually realized the changes in the "Dragons". In her impression, the "Dragons" who were arrogant and thought that all other races were trash had not only gathered together, but had also taken the initiative to study in the Magic Tower …
In the past, the Dragons had been isolated from each other and rarely met each other. When they did meet, they didn't communicate much, and those who didn't get along with each other would even fight. But in the Magic Tower, they displayed an unprecedented order … The competition and conflicts between them still existed, but in a different form.
For example, the number of papers published and the football matches in the demiplane.
However, ever since the Dragons were willing to share their knowledge on magic, the standard of magic in the Kingdom of Karen had skyrocketed. The effect was especially obvious now. The high-ranking mages who lived far away from Hollier did not hesitate to spend a huge sum of money to come here to improve their magic. Some of them lost their composure on the spot after reading the high-ranking thesis. Some even broke down on the spot. Because they realized that all their years of magic learning had basically gone to waste.
For most mediocre mages, taking detours for their entire lives was a common sight. Coming to Hollier City to study seemed to have become the only way for mages.
Merinsala was deeply moved by these changes, but when she raised her head, she knew that she was about to enter the next stage of the mission.
After ensuring that the transmission was stable and the surroundings were safe, Merinsala couldn't help but partake in the celebration banquet that night. She couldn't remember exactly how much she drank. But when she woke up the next morning, she received a letter from Roddy and another document sealed by a red magic circle.
Merinsala saw Roddy's congratulatory words and muttered in a low voice, "He doesn't know how to say it." But when she opened the seal and read the two documents, her expression suddenly turned serious.
Thirty kilometers outside of Elson City, at the edge of a small riverside village called "Berg" stood a small "Magician Tower".
This was the residence of the Intermediate Magician Carlton. Because he was a Magician, the nearby villagers called this dilapidated tower "Magician Tower".
Carlton's life used to be quite comfortable, but in the past two years, it had been getting worse day by day. Logically speaking, since Elson City and Hollier City had greatly improved the standard of magic in this world, the income of the related professions should have greatly increased as well.
However, the truth was exactly the opposite. The revolution in magic and technology had brought about almost subversive changes, and those who were relatively "conservative" or had no chance to keep up with the times were rapidly being eliminated.
The Magicians in the outlying areas might still be able to maintain their livelihood by relying on the lack of information and transportation, but Carlton, a Magician who could not keep up with the technological changes, immediately became a "defective product" abandoned by the industry chain. The profits of the scrolls and tools he made were getting lower and lower. He wanted to improve and increase his profits, but found that his ideas could not keep up with the times, and his competitiveness was getting worse and worse. Thus, he fell into a vicious cycle.
Of course, he also wanted to improve, but the conditions did not allow it. When he wanted to go to Hollier City, he found that he could not even afford to stay in the hotel there. Putting down the latest issue of "Callan Times", Carlton sighed softly. He was wondering if he should find another way out, or just take out all his money and gamble … Suddenly, the scenery outside the window suddenly darkened, interrupting his train of thought. Turning his head, Carlton realized that it was not a dark cloud. He was shocked, and immediately felt that something big had happened. He hurriedly ran down the Magic Tower, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a group of figures floating down from the "Hovela".
"Magician Carlton?"
"Ah … I-I-I'm Carlton, Prime Minister! Hello, hello! "
Anyone who read the newspapers would not mistake Roddy's appearance. At the same time, Carlton also recognized the Crystal Dragon Lord, Crupus. He was momentarily at a loss for words. After bowing repeatedly, he did not know what to say. No matter how he looked at it, his backwater was not a place the other party would come to.
"It's like this, Magician Carlton. I have a mission that I need your help with. I want to use your Wizard Tower for about three months. As a reward, I will give you thirty thousand Ka dollars as compensation. At the same time, you will also have a chance to study in Hollier City. Of course, I will not force you. If you refuse … "
"No, no, no, Prime Minister, I agree, I agree!"
Carlton did not even think about bargaining, and agreed on the spot. The things in his Wizard Tower were not worth much, and now he knew very well that the Prime Minister's promise of a chance to study in Hollier City was priceless to a Wizard.
Roddy did not seem surprised by his reaction. He turned back to look at Crupus, and the two nodded in tacit understanding. After that, an attendant brought Carlton to sign the contract. The money was paid on the spot, and the signature was effective. Furthermore, Roddy had even prepared a train ticket for him to go straight to Hollier City.
Carlton immediately brought his servants and left in high spirits. Before he left, he turned back to look, and only then did he realize that a large light had enveloped the entire village. The villagers were called out by the soldiers one by one, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.
He did not understand what was going on. Thinking of the contents of the contract, Carlton did not discuss it. He was now focused on going to Hollier City to meet the top Wizards. As for Roddy, he did not care even if the Prime Minister tore down the tower.
