"I didn't have time to feel it. The one I met was probably a Fire Elemental Lord, and it must have a bad temper. Anyway, none of the fire elemental creatures I've met so far have a good temper, and fighting is inevitable. The Lord wouldn't be so gentle as to sit down and talk to me."
Seeing that Roddy was frowning in thought, Merlinsera smirked. "What rotten idea are you thinking of now?"
"Huh? How do you know it's a rotten idea? "
Roddy blinked. "Am I that obvious?"
"I've known you for so long, and I know it's not something good from your expression. Tell me, what kind of trap are you going to dig this time?"
"You even guessed that I was digging a pit?"
"Have you counted how many guys you've dug? And you're still pretending! "
Merlinsera said as she hammered Roddy. The latter scratched his head. "Alright, it's just an idea …"
He and Merlinsera continued discussing for nearly an hour. Then, there was a knock on the door, and a servant came in. "Prime Minister, the meeting is about to begin."
"Then I'll go back and rest for a while. I've been so busy these past few days."
Merlinsera did not say much and stood up to leave. Roddy, however, felt a little helpless to be interrupted after not chatting with her for a long time. But national affairs were more important, so he could only say, "Then let's talk about it another day."
"I hope it's not a polite greeting."
"Definitely not."
Roddy replied immediately. Then, he saw Merlinsera winking at him. "Got it, Prime Minister. Go on with your work."
His breathing obviously paused for a moment because his gentle tone was somewhat coquettish. Rody felt an inexplicable itch in his heart, as if his heart was being tickled.
Merlinsera had already turned and walked away, her footsteps a little hurried.
Roddy coughed and tidied up his robe. After a few seconds, he walked out of the door, and Merlinsera's back was already out of sight.
He reached out and took the outline of the meeting from the servant, and quickly got into the zone. At the same time, in another direction, Tyriya, who had just completed the 'Spirit Enhancement' training, exited the room, bowed to the elders, and left.
The incarnation of the Devil Monarch turned her head and saw Roddy hurrying past. She froze for a moment, then straightened her back and said hesitantly, "Prime … Prime Minister."
Roddy had long noticed her, but he still looked indifferent. "Oh, you're the researcher under Elder Usilian. You're called Talia, right? I've read a few of your later papers, and they're well written. "
"Ah — I-I'm just assisting in the research …"
"I remember you're the first author, right? Then you should be the one leading the research. You don't have to be humble. Are they here for mental strengthening training? "
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
Talia clasped her hands in front of her. Even though Roddy didn't release any powerful aura, she still felt like a child, nervous to the point of sweating.
"You have to be careful about the invasion of the demons … You don't have to be so reserved. I've read your papers, and after exchanging opinions with a few lords, we all think that your level of research on demons has already surpassed that of the magisters in the same field. So if you have any new ideas or research topics, you don't have to worry about anything, just apply for it. The Kingdom of Karen will give you 100% support. "
Hearing the Prime Minister's affirmation, Talia's face turned red. She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to organize her words.
Instead, Roddy didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and said, "Do your best, I still have a meeting to attend. Excuse me, Mage Talia."
Only then did she react. She hurriedly bowed again. After Roddy walked into the meeting room, she pressed her hand against her throbbing heart and walked downstairs. It wasn't because she had any fantasies about a relationship between a man and a woman, but because Roddy's words meant that her name had indeed entered the vision of the "higher-ups".
The Prime Minister said that even the Dragons Lords had read her paper, and that their evaluation of it wasn't low. This meant that she already had a "reputation" now. All she lacked was "ammunition" to carry it forward!
Thinking of the paper she had just written, Talia's confidence was strengthened. She ran downstairs full of anticipation …
***
In the eastern countries, the territory ruled by the Beastmen had doubled after the arrival of spring.
A surprise attack in winter allowed Sauron to successfully take down the city that he always saw in his dreams. When he forcefully withstood the impact of a "Flame Blast" and killed the high-grade magician guarding the inner city, only then did he realize why he was constantly hinted to come here in his dreams.
In the hall of the inner city's core area, a sealed magic circle appeared in front of Sauron.
There were many seals densely packed on it. Sauron thought that the high-grade magician seemed to have sensed something. Not only did he smash the edges of the magic circle, he also used such a method to suppress the fluctuations that appeared within the magic circle.
This was obviously the item that the voice in his dreams wanted. However, when Sauron saw this magic circle, he immediately left the room.
Even when he led the army to seize control of the city, Sauron didn't step into the inner city again.
He directly found a house in the outer city to stay. On the surface, he was commanding his troops to gradually take over and control the city's periphery. But secretly … in his dreams at night, he began a tug-of-war with the voice.
Of course, the so-called "tug-of-war" was only his idea. In his dreams, Sauron was especially respectful. He knew that the guy who could convey information to him through dreams was definitely not a character like the "high-grade magician". Therefore, while he was obedient in his dreams, he gradually figured out what the other party wanted.
Before, the other party only hinted through the scenes in his dreams. Now, Sauron found that he could already talk with the other party "face to face" in his dreams. The unknown existence actually turned into an old Beastman standing in front of him today. The Beastman opened his arms and said, "… What are you still hesitating for? Now your changes are just a small step forward on the ultimate path. The future of the Beastmen is far more than this … "
"I want more power very much, but —"
"Tell me, what are you hesitating for?"
Sauron's respectful expression gradually faded. In the past, it was difficult for him to control his thoughts in his dreams. But now, this dream seemed to be real. He stared at the other party's flashing purple eyes and said, "Our population is still too far away. It is difficult for us to establish a foothold in this world."
"This is not a problem. As long as you remove those seals, you will lead an invincible army. The Beastmen are not native to this continent. Your homeland is not here."
