Kardashian breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "I've thought about it for a long time. To be honest, I don't want to lose your friendship."
As she said this, the emotions that had been bothering her for the whole afternoon suddenly cleared up. Her eyes lit up again, and when she looked at Roddy, it was as if they were glowing with unprecedented brilliance.
"You won't betray my trust, right?"
"Believe me, this will be the wisest decision you'll ever make."
Roddy reached out his hand, and Kardashian patted it gently — an agreement that only the two of them knew was reached.
Naturally, Rody had confidence in his words. Although he had received an indoctrination education, this was, after all, the crystallization of countless generations of hard work. It could be said that he was standing on the shoulders of giants. Seeing that Kardashian had relaxed and returned to her usual self, he continued, "I've actually been looking for you today. I want to ask you for help casting a spell to find a Grand Arcanist Magic Tower."
"No problem, looking — wait, looking for what?"
Kardashian thought that Roddy would agree to anything, but after she finished speaking, she realized that there was something wrong with the latter part of the sentence …
"The High Elves' Grand Arcanist Magic Tower," Roddy lowered his voice and winked, "The kind that can move, you know."
A Magic Tower of this level was not something that could be seen on the street. Although the history of the dragons being defeated by the Magic Tower was tried to be covered up, Kardashian's status allowed her to hear about it.
What day is it today? Why is it always this kind of shocking news?
Including the "physics knowledge" that they had just discussed, Kardashian found that Roddy seemed to be able to easily get something as important as the "space-time crack". What kind of luck did this guy have?
Logically speaking, it was best for Roddy to choose to take the Magic Tower for himself — although Elson and the Dragons had established a friendship, in the end, they were in a weaker position. If they could have a Magic Tower that could defeat the Dragons, who would refuse? But he chose to tell her the truth …
This made Kardashian have a strange feeling in her heart. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Why didn't you use it as a condition just now? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell my father? "
Roddy calmly put down the teacup, but suddenly changed the topic. "Do you know what my life was like in Norland Village?"
"Every day, we have to patrol, eat, sleep, or get scolded by a guy named Sodin. Everyone is muddle-headed and thinks that this is the end of their lives. In the future, I will find a wife, have a child, inherit my military position, and wait for death to come. "
"But why am I sitting at the same table with you now? Because I didn't compromise with that kind of life. "
His voice was low, as if he was narrating someone else's story. "If the revenants want to harm Duke, I'll uproot them all. If the Beastmen showed signs of attacking, then they would charge into the plains and kill until they were terrified. If I take a step forward, the enemy will take a step back. Putting aside those trivial reasons, the most important thing is … whether to advance or retreat with me, it's all up to you. You don't have to listen to anyone's orders. "
Kardashian's fingers that were hidden under the table slightly clenched. As noble Dragons, they could not escape their predetermined fate. Wasn't her usual carefree and energetic expression also a manifestation of this desire?
That was because she was afraid that she would no longer be able to do as she pleased and be so unbridled.
The higher the status, the lonelier it was. Because of this, she talked so much to Roddy, who was not a Dragons — because Kardashian really did not have any friends.
Roddy raised his eyes and looked straight at Kardashian. "Handing over the Magic Tower to the Dragons, for you and me, other than being rewarded and praised, what else is there to it?"
Indeed, if the Grand Arcanist's Magic Tower was handed over to the Dragons, they would most likely take out the contents and directly destroy the tower. Most of the older Dragons saw the High Elves as a thorn in their side. This kind of thing that had once humiliated the Dragons must not be allowed to remain in their eyes.
Kardashian was very clear about this result, so she also understood what Roddy was trying to say: the High Elves' Magic Tower, the knowledge that contained infinite principles, these were all steps that she could learn and even improve on. If she let go of her prejudice against the Dragons and was willing to work hand in hand on this … In the future, she might really be able to break through the shackles and reach the step of being unparalleled in the world without having to look at anyone's face.
Even if there was a one in ten thousand possibility, it was worth trying!
"Can you completely control this Magic Tower? What about its owner? "
Hearing this question from Kardashian, Roddy knew that she had already agreed in her heart. He secretly let out a sigh of relief, then immediately cast a soundproof barrier and threw out an even bigger bomb. "Its first owner, the Grand Arcanist, is actually not dead."
As soon as he said this, Roddy could even see Kardashian's pupils suddenly shrink into slits.
"Aren't you afraid that this guy will occupy your city?"
"To be honest, Edith now only has her soul left, not her physical body." Roddy waved his hand. "But I agree with your cautiousness. The power of the Grand Arcanist is definitely not to be underestimated. This is also why I am willing to share this news with you."
"There is no such thing as a risk-free business in this world. So now … are you willing to do something big with me?"
Listening to Roddy's indifferent but confident words, Kardashian suddenly realized a fact: even though she had powerful strength, she was far from having such an open-minded mentality.
Until now, she had almost always walked on the established path arranged by her father, Victor, and had never really crossed that boundary. But now, she was standing in front of this boundary — taking a step forward, behind her was full of unknown.
As the daughter of the Lord of the Dragons, Kardashian never thought that there would be a day when she would really rebel. She never thought that … when faced with a choice, she would so easily embark on this crazy path:
"Tell me what I need to do."
After saying this, Kardashian only felt her body tremble slightly.
A mixture of excitement, fear, and curiosity exploded in her heart, completely destroying the barrier in her heart that she had maintained for a long time.
*****
Roddy had indeed underestimated the efficiency of Kardashian's actions.
That night, Roddy slept soundly with Akasha in his arms, but he did not know that Kardashian had been studying those formulas and theorems all night. Dragons were full of energy, and it did not matter if they did not sleep for three to five days. So in the early morning, when the sky had just turned white, someone knocked on the door of Roddy's bedroom …
Roddy, who had only slept in the early morning, was awakened on the spot. The first thing he thought was that the city was under attack. He turned over and got up, carrying his bow and ran out. But when he opened the door, he found that it was Kardashian.
"What's wrong? Who's fighting? "
"What's fighting?"
Kardashian looked at Rody, who was barefooted and carrying the bow, and realized that she had been too impatient. However, this young lady would definitely not admit her mistake. She immediately retorted and said, "Are you asleep? We agreed to go out today, why aren't you up yet!? "
In fact, Roddy had not come back to his senses yet. His mind was very confused, and his first reaction was that he slept late. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll go clean up right away! Wait a minute … "
He closed the door, put the bow aside, and looked out the window. Only then did he realize that the sky outside was not bright yet.
"What the hell, what does this mean …"
The dumbfounded Roddy stood there for a long time. Akasha, who was next to him, sat up and rubbed her eyes. When she saw Roddy holding the bow, she suddenly shivered. She quickly got up and picked up the scepter on the bedside, "What happened?"
"Nothing, nothing, Kardashian is crazy, asking me to find the Magic Tower so early in the morning."
"What do you mean by crazy? Roddy, explain it to me later! "
Kardashian's voice came from outside the door. Roddy covered his eyes and said helplessly to Kardashian, "You continue to sleep, I'll follow her to find the Magic Tower. The sooner we find it, the sooner we can settle this matter …"
Akasha, whose shoulders were half-exposed, knew that there was no other way. No matter how powerful Roddy was, he had to give face to the Dragons. She kissed him gently and lay back obediently, "Then I'll wait for you to come back."
Roddy gave her an apologetic look, got up, and quickly washed up and changed into leather armor. When he picked up the quiver and bow, he inexplicably felt that his days were really depressing. He was the City Lord, but he could not even sleep in …
As soon as he pushed the door open, Kardashian dragged him out, complaining along the way, "You humans are really useless. You don't have a long life, and you still spend so much time sleeping …"
"This is a biological instinct, sister!"
Roddy complained as he picked up the "Confinement Sphere" and carried a bag of salt from the kitchen. At the same time, he took two fruits and stuffed them into his arms. "Not sleeping and not eating is something that only an arcane puppet can do. You can't ask me to do this."
"Who are you calling sister? I can even be your great-grandmother! "
Kardashian raised her hand and flicked Roddy, causing him to hold the back of his head and grimace in pain. Upon seeing his reaction, the Frost Colossal Dragon smirked. "But it's fine to call me Big Sister, as long as you behave appropriately!"
I'm not a mistress of a rich woman, what do I have to behave properly …
Roddy cursed in his heart and said helplessly, "Fine, fine, you have the final say …"
"Don't give me that. What did you mean by 'crazy' just now? Can you explain it to me? "
Akasha, who was lying in the bedroom, listened to the conversation between the two gradually getting further and further away, feeling a little helpless. She always felt that Kardashian seemed to have changed a lot in the past few days, but she could not tell the reason. Perhaps she had always been like this?
She did not think that there would be anything between this dragon and Roddy. After all, dragging someone else's husband out of bed in the morning was something that ordinary people would not do.
After lying in bed for a few minutes, Akasha was actually not sleepy because today was a little special. If she was not wrong, Sally's convoy would arrive in Elsen City today. Akasha was certainly not happy with this Duke who insisted on seeing Roddy.
