That was all Roddy and Camilla could talk about. According to their relationship, they might talk about Naifei. But Roddy didn't have the mood to talk about it. He looked down and folded the map into his pocket. Then he asked, "How long can the letter delay the Holy Conference?"
Camilla thought for a while. "At least half a year. When they find that they can't contact me, they will spend some time looking for me. Then they will start to suspect Elsen City. Finally, they will gather here. "
Roddy nodded silently. He didn't say anything. Camilla couldn't figure out what he was thinking. She could clearly feel that Roddy was quieter than before since he brought Naifei back.
Compared to the sunny young man of the past, the current Rody seemed to have aged a few years. His perpetually frowning and exhausted aura made Camilla feel apologetic. She wanted to say something to show her concern, but she could not bring herself to say it.
They looked at each other silently. Finally, Roddy said, "Then … that's all for now. I'm going to pack up. I'll take my leave."
After saying this, he got up and left the library. Camilla looked at his back. She wanted to say something but didn't.
In less than an hour, Roddy came to the city square after a simple lunch. Akasha, who was ready to go, was shocked by the "flying suit" and the huge "Keda Duck" next to it. She thought about what Roddy was going to do. She asked in horror, "Are … are we going to fly there?"
"We'll be there in less than a day. Very fast."
Roddy wrapped his leather suit tightly and glanced around. "Is there a problem?"
Akasha suddenly stopped in her tracks. She looked at the sky and then at the ground under her feet. Her lips trembled as she asked, "How high are we going to fly? Twenty meters? "
"Well, about twenty meters."
Roddy could see that Akasha was afraid of heights. So he didn't tell her the truth. Instead, he helped her put on the leather suit and found the belt …
"Ah? Why, why did you cover my eyes? "
Akasha didn't dare to resist. She just stood there dumbly. Then she felt Roddy lifted her up and put her on the Keda Duck.
Roddy tied the short bow and sword with a belt. He jumped on the Keda Duck. When he was about to use the rope to fasten the belt on his and Akasha's leather suit, he found that the little priest sitting in front of him was pale. Her hands were tightly grabbing the feathers on the Keda Duck's neck. Her body was as tense as a zombie …
Obviously, she didn't have Naifei's relaxed mentality. But in Roddy's eyes, "Acrophobia" was not a shameful or a sign of weakness. He sighed and turned Akasha around. "Hold on."
He turned around and greeted Camilla and Naifei, who had come to send him off. Then, he reached out and patted Kelda Duck.
The next moment, the giant bird carried the two of them in a comical posture and disappeared into the blue sky with Akasha's scream …
Naifei looked at Akasha who was hugging Roddy tightly. Naifei smiled. "This sister is really interesting. She's so scared even with her eyes covered."
Camilla reached out and stroked her daughter's red hair. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Naifei didn't know the real purpose of Roddy's trip. But she knew that her fate had been completely handed over to him.
"Let's go. Tell mom what happened these days."
Camilla held Naifei's hand and left the square. She wanted to return to the mansion. But before they walked far, she suddenly stopped and looked at the Pasha Magic Tower.
The next moment, Camilla's expression turned serious. She changed her direction and hurriedly pulled Naifei into the Magic Tower. They came to the front of a magic circle on the tenth floor and carefully examined the traces of crystals on it.
Naifei looked curiously at the rich people and the flashing elements on the Magic Tower. She heard her mother muttering to herself, "Traces of frost elements … weak … moving fast …"
"… the traces disappeared … what is this thing?"

"Time's up."
At the same time, in an open space on the western edge of the Silent Forest, a gray-haired old man in a blue robe said to the team of nearly fifty people in front of him.
Then he tapped the staff in his hand on the ground. A hemispherical barrier instantly appeared and enveloped all the members, isolating the elemental fluctuations and sounds from the outside world. The old man's voice became clear.
"I will lead you to complete this mission."
His voice was neither fast nor slow, but it revealed the majesty and confidence of a superior. "I am Lucius. All of your actions will be under my command."
The people in the forest who were still discussing in low voices immediately fell silent. Before this, although they knew that the middle-aged man in front of them was the leader of this operation, they did not know that he was one of the elders of the Elder Council of the Holy Assembly!
In the Holy Assembly, the "Elder Council" basically represented the highest level of existence. Only a few people knew that at the top of the Holy Assembly were the "Three Magnates." But for ordinary people, that was already an "untouchable" level.
And Lucius's identity basically meant that his strength had reached the level of a "high-level arcanist." Although he could not compare to the most powerful "Grand Arcanist" of the High Elves, in comparison, there were not many magic practitioners in the Kingdom of Karen who could rival him.
Powerful strength created awe. All the members of the operation immediately bowed their heads respectfully and waited patiently for Lucius's next words.
"Before that, I will briefly explain the reason for organizing this operation. Because the operation in Elsen City was fruitless, we decided to change our target …
"Through research, we confirmed that the method of making the 'Charged Crystal' was not only recorded by the High Elves.
"It was the Dragons who truly proposed the concept of 'Charged Crystal.'
"And the Dragons … truly hold the secret of the Charged Crystal."
He gently waved his staff, and light blue elements immediately formed a crystal clear but fierce giant dragon above everyone's head.
"The Holy Assembly has detected traces of a giant dragon hiding in the Silent Forest, and our mission is to … capture it."
Such a statement immediately caused an uproar.
As loyal members of the Holy Assembly, the Arcanists who were selected to participate in this operation were without exception "strong." And the deeper their understanding of the arcane, the more they understood how high the status of the "Dragons" was in this world.
Simply put, they all had a common understanding: even if they worked hard for a lifetime, in the end, they would probably still be ants in the eyes of the giant dragons.
The High Elves were destroyed, the Beastmen were crippled, and the humans rose. No matter how the world changed, the power of the Dragons would never change.
Lucius calmly looked at the "cowardly" atmosphere in front of him. Without any nonsense, he just reached out and took out a dagger-sized … tooth.
"The High Elves once used arcane magic to defeat the giant dragons, and this tooth is the proof of our former glory."
As he spoke, countless incantations appeared on the dragon tooth, and arcane energy surged out like a volcano eruption, almost suffocating everyone. The power that came towards them shocked everyone to the ground …
Power.
What Arcanists tirelessly pursued was the word "power." They could give up some, but they would never resist the temptation of "having power."
"The Mourning Tooth, personally remade by Prince Vardenno, is enough to seriously injure an adult giant dragon."
As he described the function of this "divine artifact" in a calm tone, the eyes of the members of the Holy Assembly all revealed covetous and longing.
Then, it was ambition and the strong desire that came with it.
"Project 'Dawn' has begun. Everyone … will become witnesses to the glory of the Holy Assembly in the future."
Lucius did not even ask if anyone was willing to quit. He just raised his staff slightly, spread his arms, and softly said, "Arcane magic, control everything."
"For the glory of the High Elves!"
