"Don't tell me … I'll die?"
"It's worse than death."
Sylvia's reply left Tyria speechless for a long time. She knew that the "demonic invasion" was very serious, but it seemed that if the treatment failed, the consequences would be far more complicated than she had imagined.
Sylvia did not continue the conversation and brought her around the demiplane. This was a place to relax, and there were even various musical instruments and game props. However, Tyria preferred the laboratory that was already set up here. Even though there were not many valuable materials in it, the conditions were obviously much better than when she was in Mage Ethan's Mage Tower.
"If you apply to be an employee of the Magic Tower, then you can subcontract some simple experimental tasks and receive a salary. This should be enough for you to carry out some basic research."
"Really? That's great! "
"But if you want to apply here, you still need to pass a few exams."
"Exams? What exams? "
Tyria's heart was filled with enthusiasm. She could not wait to take the exams now.
"Apart from basic magic knowledge and mental strength, there are also some basic geography and general knowledge of the Kingdom of Karen. How about this, I'll go get some materials for the exams for you later. These are free to read, you just have to return them by the specified date. If you don't need to stay here, why don't you go back to your bedroom first? "
Tyria quickly agreed and rushed back to her bedroom excitedly. She took the initiative to lock herself in. "Mage Sylvia, I'll wait here!"
"Alright, I'll be back in about half an hour."
Sylvia nodded and turned around to leave.
At the top of the demon tower, the dragon lords watching this scene had indescribable shock on their faces. It was not difficult to lock up a weak Demon Monarch, but to make the other party take the initiative to run to the "prison" and wait obediently, even treating the "Demon" as an enemy to deal with, this step was not something that could be done simply by moving one's mouth or casting a spell …
"Is there any possibility that she's acting?"
Lord Victor could not help but ask.
"Yes, so that contract is an agreement between her and Grand Arcanist Edith. Now, we can control everything about her at any time. We can monitor when her heartbeat quickens."
Seeing that the plan was going well, Roddy turned to Crupus and said, "I'm sure you've all seen this guy's talent in spells. I won't say much about how he's going to do it, but I hope you won't reveal any flaws."
The lords nodded silently, but none of them made any promises. They were extremely cautious when facing a Demon Monarch.
"By the way, I heard from Kardashian that the Strategic Arms Research Department has created an array that can allow elemental crystals to burn continuously. Do they even need to study it? Isn't the current spell formation already able to achieve this? "
"Maybe there's a difference in the actual effect?"
Roddy had some guesses in his heart, but he knew that Victor's words were actually hinting that he had not visited Kardashian for a long time. During this period, he had been busy keeping an eye on Talia. Kardashian had brought her team to the wilderness to conduct research on strategic weapons. Victor obviously wanted to use this method to bring the relationship between the Frost Dragon Race and Roddy's forces closer.
Even if this sounded like blatant exploitation of kinship, standing in such a position, he had no choice but to do so. After all, if he was closer to the other Dragons, he would receive more support and resources … Every little bit of difference could expand the influence of the Frost Dragon Race's forces in the future.
Roddy also gave face and replied, "Then I'll go take a look tomorrow. As for Talia … I'll leave it to you guys."
The next day, after breakfast, Roddy did not go back on his words. He directly sat in the car heading to the Strategic Arms Research Department's experimental site.
Naifei had already returned to Elsen City to assist her mother, Camilla, in improving the floating space tower of the 'Hovela'. Hence, apart from an entire team of guards, there was only Natha, who looked like his personal bodyguard, by Roddy's side.
At the same time, Talia, who had woken up early, hurriedly entered the demiplane after breakfast and began to diligently study the thick books that Sylvia had given her.
There were two books on general knowledge of magic among them. For Talia, they were basically filling in the gaps that she had missed out on. However, the remaining books obviously surprised her because they were actually 'history textbooks'.
First, it briefly described the tragic and disastrous outcome of the 'High Elves' facing the invasion of the demons. Then, it outlined the development process of the 'Kingdom of Karen' from scratch.
Finally, it described the current family history of 'Sally the First' and the entire process of obtaining the support of the entire kingdom. Naturally, it also included information on 'Prime Minister Roddy'. However, it did not take up much. Overall, it was denouncing the 'Charles II's' fatuous and incompetent regime. Through the substantial improvement of the current national standard, it proved the rationality and superiority of 'Sally the First's' regime.
Of course, these books were not specially prepared for Talia alone. In fact, the current 'civil servant' selection of the Kingdom of Karen would first be tested on the contents of these books. Whether it was brainwashing or ideological unification, this was actually something that every regime would do. Only by obtaining the support of the people and maintaining the stability of the situation could they talk about 'development' again.
Since Talia had woken up, the only thing she had come into contact with were the books in the Galen family's study. Back then, the contents of the books that she had flipped through were only vague impressions due to the 'memory cleansing'. However, since everything was prepared by Roddy, the 'history' that she was reading now was very familiar and did not feel out of place at all.
Now, she no longer doubted her identity as' Talia Galen '. Instead, she focused all her attention on memorizing the knowledge in the books.
However, in order to memorize certain things, reading and understanding was the first step. In this way, Talia unknowingly accepted many of the theories and concepts in the books. At the same time, through these books, she gradually realized that the reason why she could sit in the Demiplane and treat the 'demonic invasion' without spending any money was ultimately because of the miraculous breakthrough and development of the Kingdom of Karen.
Without the Dragons, these things would not even be possible. Without the struggles of Sally the First and the members of the cabinet, the Dragons would not have chosen to cooperate deeply with the humans. In the end, strength was the absolute truth. This was something that Talia agreed with very much.
Such a concept was not directly instilled in her by the books, but the conclusion that Talia came to after continuous reading and reflection. And in the subsequent reading, she had unknowingly stood from the perspective of the 'Kingdom of Karen' to view various problems …
