However, Merlinsera's Dragon Crystal had lost all its energy fluctuations and looked like a colorless crystal. Kardashian froze for a second and then asked, "Why are you wearing it?"
"Haven't you noticed the change in my aura? It's because I've absorbed the power of this Dragon Crystal. " Roddy's expression didn't change. He pointed at the Mark of the Dragon Slayer that had turned golden in his eyes and continued, "Although this thing doesn't have any practical use, it's a deterrent to those Mages, so I've been wearing it."
"Take it away! Why would you wear such a damned dragon thing? "
Kardashian finally understood why she felt that Roddy's aura was getting closer and closer to her own kind. For some reason, she felt inexplicably happy. However, she was extremely disgusted with Merlinsera's Dragon Crystal because her Heart of Frost actually contained the original power of Kardashian. In terms of energy properties, it was also similar to the Dragon Crystal.
Seeing Roddy's hesitation, she directly snatched Merlinsera's Dragon Crystal and casually put the Heart of Frost around Roddy's neck. She did this because she wanted to cast a spell to erase the "soul imprint" of the necklace itself, which was the "soul binding" effect in Roddy's eyes.
"You're a castellan after all. Why are you so hesitant?"
Kardashian's breath smelled like orchids. Because of the movement, their cheeks were very close, but Roddy didn't dare to have any improper thoughts. After all, the person in front of him was a real Dragons. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that she could really kill him with a single breath. So, at this moment, Roddy was only thinking about whether there were any mistakes in his explanation of the Dragon Crystal just now. Because when Kardashian saw the Dragon Crystal, her expression was obviously not right.
Kardashian began to recite a spell in a low voice. Roddy, who was at a loss of what to do, suddenly saw a figure at the door of the living room. He turned around and saw Akasha standing there with her mouth slightly open, as if she did not know what to say.
Roddy didn't know that his and Kardashian's posture was actually a bit like the "fake position" in the movie. Obviously, it was just Kardashian raising her hand to put the necklace on Roddy, but from Akasha's point of view, she felt that Kardashian was leaning in Roddy's arms and even kissing him …
Akasha's face was pale, and her breathing quickened. Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know if she should stay here or turn around and pretend she didn't see anything. Fortunately, Kardashian's voice pulled her back to reality.
"Akasha? You haven't slept yet? "
She ended the spell and let go of the necklace, letting it fall steadily on Roddy's neck. A light blue light flashed, indicating that the necklace had established a "Soul Binding" with Roddy.
Roddy turned around, and only then did Akasha realize that she had just seen wrongly. The boulder in her heart fell to the ground, and her tone returned to normal, "Ah … I heard from the butler that you were back, so I came over to see."
"That's true. It's getting late. I'm going to sleep."
Since Roddy had provided a solution, Kardashian felt refreshed all of a sudden. She got up and waved her hand before returning to her room. Then Roddy and Akasha returned to the bedroom and briefly recounted the day's experience.
However, Roddy obviously didn't think that Kardashian's vague intimacy was meaningful. He held the "Heart of Frost" and talked to Akasha for a long time. His face was full of excitement and joy after "picking up the best equipment", but he didn't notice that Akasha could not sleep that night.

December 15th.
For the senior members of the Holy Assembly scattered all over the continent, Dominic's failure was undoubtedly bad news that made their future bleak.
The loss of an elder and fourteen high-rank Arcanists made the Holy Assembly, which already had a limited number of high-end combat power, even worse. After this battle, not only was the overall combat power seriously affected, but the morale of the Holy Assembly was also greatly affected. The original leader of "occupying Elson and expanding the Holy Assembly" was Dominic. Now that he was dead, the originally unified voices of the Holy Assembly suddenly became chaotic.
Originally, there were elders who advocated for sending more troops to crush Elson's defense line. However, after the "Frost Dragon" Victor announced his cooperation with Elson City, no one mentioned this matter again.
Although the Holy Assembly was arrogant, they were not fools. During the High Elves' glory days, the Grand Arcanist could stand up to the Dragons as an equal. However, in this era, those who were truly qualified to stand on equal footing with the dragons did not exist in the Holy Assembly.
The confident expansion plans were all put on hold. Obviously, the elders were not in the mood to continue fighting. Instead, they all began to focus on one thing: Dominic's legacy.
"We must find out the location of the Mage Tower as soon as possible!"
Elder Crawford wrote at the end of the letter.
The content of his letter basically did not mention anything about "Elson", because everyone now knew that the Mage Tower was a solid piece of iron that could not be kicked at all. As for the future strategic direction of the Holy Assembly, the only thing that all the elders cared about was the Mage Tower that Dominic had always occupied.
There might be many Mage Towers from the High Elves' era, because high-level Arcanists had many ways to hide the location of the Mage Tower. However, the ones that had been discovered and used by the humans of this era were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Once any Magician had a Mage Tower of the High Elves, their strength would not only double, but the countless legacy and magic books would also greatly increase their future development potential. At the same time, they would also be able to gather a group of willing Magician Apprentices and form their own force.
Among them, Elson's "Pasha Magic Tower" was a representative of the "fortress-type" type. And what the elders of the Holy Assembly were currently concerned about was the top Mage Tower that Elder Dominic had previously controlled, the "Helsino Magic Tower."
In other words, this was actually the Magic Tower that Grand Arcanist Edith had personally built.
Dominic was originally just an untalented Arcanist, but after controlling the Magic Tower for 15 years, he had been promoted step by step, and finally became an elder. The reason for this was obvious. He had originally placed the Magic Tower in the depths of the ice field, but this time, in order to occupy Elson City, he had naturally moved the Magic Tower to a place not far away before taking action. As for where he had placed it, only Dominic himself knew.
The apprentices and Magicians in the Magic Tower lived in seclusion, and might not even know that Dominic had died for a while. The tower itself could be hidden in the forest, deep in the mountains, under a river, or in any other elusive place.
This was because the Magic Tower had the ability to float and move, and it could even activate a "concealment" barrier to completely blend in with the environment. It was completely wishful thinking to think that one could easily find the Magic Tower just because it was "tall". Even a prophecy Magician would not be able to find it because of the Magic Tower's fluctuations that disappeared without a trace.
Therefore, this kind of Magic Tower had long been beyond the scope of a "tower". It was not an exaggeration to call it the "mothership" of the Grand Arcanist. It could attack, defend, move, and go anywhere.
Having such a Magic Tower was the dream of every elder of the Holy Assembly. Although the other elders of the Holy Assembly had similar Magic Towers, they were all ordinary ones left behind by senior-rank Arcanists. They were far superior to the Magic Tower of Helsino in all aspects.
Therefore, when faced with the temptation of the Magic Tower, none of the five powerful elders of the Holy Assembly planned to give it to anyone else. After a round of discussion, they had come to a tacit agreement: whoever found and controlled the Magic Tower first would become its legal owner!
"The armed forces of Elsen City can't extend everywhere, so just pay attention to your whereabouts. Even if you meet them, don't clash with them. Find the Magic Tower first!"
Under Elder Crawford's order, the two senior-rank Arcanists, six senior-rank Arcanists, and more than thirty Arcane Warriors with good melee abilities all began to pack up. Together with forty ordinary engineers, they began to rush to the periphery of Elsen City from different stations.
At the same time, the rest of the elders also sent out all the troops they could control, striving to take down the Magic Tower as soon as possible.
The troops sent out by each elder might not be much, but when the total number of people was gathered, it was already equivalent to a large combat army.
After all, the temptation of the Magic Tower was too great. Controlling it might mean controlling the internal affairs of the Holy Assembly.

After waking up from his sleep, Roddy stared at the ceiling in front of him in a daze.
He drank a lot last night, which caused Roddy to have a very long dream. The appearance of the dream made him confused. Roddy felt that he had transformed into a giant dragon, roaming among the strange mountains, but his mood was depressed, as if there was a stone stuck in his chest.
When he opened his eyes, these emotions were still affecting him. He looked down at his hands and realized that they were not the claws that were covered with scales and full of strength in his dream. He touched the top of his head and realized that there were no horns protruding out … Everything was normal. It was just that the feeling of looking down on the world made him a little dazed.
"Maybe it's the side effect of absorbing power."
Roddy thought it had something to do with the "Heart of the Witcher". After all, he had absorbed the power of Merlinsera's entire Dragon Crystal. Since he had a similar bloodline power, inheriting some of the memories of the Dragons was not difficult to explain.
He carefully recalled that he had been fine ever since he absorbed the Dragon Crystal, until today when he suddenly had such a dream. He did not know what it meant. However, the headache that had always troubled him in the past had been solved with the improvement of his "Pain Tolerance", which was indeed good news for Roddy.
