As for Kardashian, an ordinary Frost Dragon at her age should have had a partner long ago, and perhaps had more than one child. However, Kardashian was the daughter of a lord, and was responsible for the task of marriage. She had been well protected by her father, Victor, so her idealistic concept of "love" was not surprising.
To put it bluntly, the spoiled Kardashian had been fooling around all these years, eating, drinking, and having fun. She was just like a child who never grew up, so her personality was so straightforward.
She was actually curious about what real "love" was, but unfortunately, the environment in which Dragons grew up gave her no chance to experience it at all.
Akasha did not know these inside stories. Seeing that Kardashian was disgusted, she was afraid that it would cause trouble for Roddy, so she hurriedly explained Roddy's relationship over the past few years. When the latter heard so much gossip, she immediately became interested and talked for almost two hours.
In fact, Akasha did not know the whole story between Roddy and Sally, so she could only pick out the part of her experience and tell it once. But even so, Kardashian still listened with her eyes shining, "Now I'm very curious about what that Sally looks like … When did she arrive in Elson?"
"Ah?"
Akasha's mouth was slightly open, obviously unable to understand Kardashian's imaginative thinking. Her look made Kardashian laugh, and she said that she and Roddy were a couple, because they both could make her laugh non-stop.
Whether it was a compliment or not, Akasha accepted it gladly. At this time, she felt that Kardashian should not continue to dislike Roddy, so she quickly got up and ran away with the "summary of information". Otherwise, she felt that she would be left here for a whole day of gossip …
Kardashian was not bored, but her mind was full of the thrilling stories told by Akasha, and for a moment, she had a stronger interest in Roddy. She thought about it and walked towards the Pasha Magic Tower.
*****
In the Pasha Magic Tower.
"Even if the Coswo Earth Dragon was still here, I wouldn't be able to lock onto such a target, let alone investigate it directly … To put it bluntly, our understanding of demonized creatures is still too shallow. Although the paper you wrote back then was of a high standard, it could only be considered as throwing a brick to attract jade. As for the specific form of 'demonification', it will take many years of research. "
"As for the dream realm … City Lord, I really can't control it."
Houdini had a helpless look on his face as he said this.
"Alright, if you discover anything new in your dream, be sure to tell me immediately. Now, in order to get Camilla out, I can only go through the possible scenarios one by one. "
Roddy tried his best to suppress the irritation in his heart. He felt that he was facing a complicated statistical principle problem, but he could not find any shortcuts with the conditions he had at hand. He could only adopt the most clumsy method, the "concomitant method" — it was a bit stupid, but it was still a method, and it was better than nothing.
After leaving the laboratory, Roddy stood on the spiral staircase in the center of the Magic Tower and looked down. The bustling Mages were rushing to different venues, and the wealth known as "knowledge" was spreading here. Roddy looked at these focused Mages and felt an inexplicable sense of envy in his heart.
He really felt helpless about his low level of magic. Actually, there was nothing he could do about it. Compared to the High Elf Grand Arcanist, the people in this world could basically be called retarded. However, the lack of power could be made up for with time and hard work, but when it came to the confusion of love, there was no one who could guide him.
Roddy did like Camilla. But that kind of "like" was vague, and it was more of a kind of "appreciation" — her stubbornness, her hard work, and her extraordinary intelligence were all things that Roddy admired.
When Camilla confessed, there were many reasons that Roddy could not refuse, the most important of which was that she always had the shadow of the red-haired witch in Roddy's memory.
This overlapping of memories sometimes even made him feel suffocated. This was because he never wanted anyone to be someone else's substitute. Time and space were different, and the path of history had greatly deviated. Theoretically speaking … now everyone was walking on a different path in his memory, and also became a different person from his memory.
Ever since his rebirth, Roddy did his best in personal strength, grasping all the opportunities, turning himself from a scout to an overlord. All of this could be called a miracle, but in terms of feelings, he was like a drifting sports car that was out of control, drawing a completely uncontrollable path.
He thought that if he took the initiative to choose Akasha, the problem would be easily solved. But when facing Sally, he could not say the cruel words to completely cut off all the good things that had happened in the past.
Until now, he was still confused, but fortunately, there was no regret in this emotion.
Looking at the constantly busy figures of the Mages in front of him, Roddy knew that there was not much meaning in his pure imagination, so he stood up and walked towards the research department — he was a "doer", this world was still a long way from "peace", so no matter what, Roddy did not dare to stop his steps.
*****
The sun in Elsen City was warm, this was because the entire city was protected by the "Constant Temperature Enchantment". And in the north of Eiffta, two consecutive snowfalls had dropped the temperature to the freezing point, all the way south from Hollier City, even on the main road, there were very few people or caravans.
For most people, winter was still a season that they had to grit their teeth and endure.
Compared to the eastern part of the kingdom where a large number of people starved to death, the bountiful Eiffta territory should be regarded as the best year for the people in years. Among this, Elsen City's "back feeding" in food production played a big role. Although this was only the first year of wasteland reclamation, no one would have thought that the land cultivated in Elsen would produce two or three times the output of other areas. In the past winter, the high food prices had been pushed down a lot. Anyway, as Duke, Sally did not have to worry about food this year.
If one had the heart to count, the mortality rate in the Eiffta territory was also rapidly decreasing. As Duke, although Sally had given all the power to the "cabinet", she had firmly grasped the direction of the development of the "Rose Cross".
A religion without ambition was not a good religion, if the "Rose Cross" continued to develop, in fact, it would also slowly embark on the path of "unity of theocracy". However, Roddy had forcibly changed the management, changing the development direction of this behemoth hidden under the water. The "monasteries" in the territory had opened up new functions, in the eyes of the civilians, it was no longer a single place of prayer and cultivation, but more of an image name: "hospital".
In winter, even a common cold could be fatal. But with the emergence of the "hospital", cheap or even free divine aid methods had greatly increased the survival rate of the population, the most obvious of which was the "infant mortality rate": in the entire Kingdom of Karen, the mortality rate of children under the age of three could even reach 30% in the highest years. Even in the better years of peacetime, it was more than 15%. But with the intervention of the "Rose Cross" in "midwifery" and "infant diseases", this number almost immediately decreased. Although there was no complete statistical cycle to compare, it was inevitable that it would be reduced to less than 1%, and progress towards one in a thousand was the current goal.
Holding the statistics in her hands, Sally and Duke had to temporarily put away the letter because of the violent shaking of the carriage.
As the highest standard carriage of the Lucifron family, the carriage Sally was in was very large. The interior of the carriage was covered with dark red soft leather, and the atmosphere of luxury seemed to be everywhere. The only fly in the ointment was that the bumpy road back and forth made the passengers feel perpetually tired.
The structure of the carriage in this era was simple, even the carriage of the Ducal Palace had not been optimized for shock absorption, and it was a far cry from the independent suspension and suspension of the "Firebolt". The road out of Hollier was fine at first, but the further they went, the more potholes there were on the road, which made Sally complain incessantly. She even wanted to ride on the horse, but the bone-chilling wind outside the carriage made her shrink back … No matter how much clothing she wore, it was useless to ride in this kind of weather.
After all, it was winter, the season of withering.
The continuous Ducal Palace carriages had been on the road for three days, but they had only covered a third of the total distance. Because of the snow, the road was muddy and slippery, and the lack of sunshine, it was difficult for the carriages with a lot of luggage and people to speed up.
But just as Sally was holding the "Viper's Kiss" in her hands, frowning and enduring the bumpy ride, there was a sudden burst of slightly noisy cheers outside. She looked up in confusion, and then felt the carriage suddenly jerk upwards!
"Creak!"
The sound of the axle slightly deforming came from below, and the carriage should have gone up a small slope. Sally quickly reached out to the side of the armrest, and looked out of the round glass window: a tall, strange-looking puppet appeared in her field of vision. It did not look like a war machine, not only was its body engraved with complex patterns, but there were also three rows of transparent crystals on its back.
There were a lot of people standing next to this puppet, they were all wearing the same style of leather clothes, and the hem of the robe could be seen below. They looked like magic professions.
"Why are there five or six mages here?"
Sally mumbled to herself in confusion. Then, she discovered to her astonishment that the creaking sound that had been ringing in her ears all this time had disappeared. The carriage that had been swaying all this time had also become extremely stable. If it weren't for the constant clattering of hooves, Sally would have thought that the carriage had already stopped!
"This is … the road?"
