Kardashian's long hair was very smooth, so Roddy quickly smoothed it out. But he soon realized that this Dragons might not have washed their hair. At this time, her hair was not dry and was even dripping water. So he said, "Let me help you dry it and blow dry it. Otherwise, it's not good for your hair when you sleep."
Dragons did not have the concept of "whether their hair was good or not", but Kardashian really enjoyed the feeling of being served by Roddy. She pretended to be carefree and said no. It was not until Roddy mentioned it several times that she finally agreed with an expression of "I really don't know what to do with you". In order to take care of Cripple, she took a towel and a hairdryer under Roddy's reminder. She naturally leaned back in the chair and relaxed with her back facing him.
Her grayish-white hair was like silk in his hands. After blowing it dry, there were no signs of split ends. Roddy was very serious. Blowing his hair meant blowing his hair. Those unrealistic thoughts in his mind had disappeared. When the noise of the hairdryer stopped, Roddy began to seriously think about how to "leave the space-time prison".
"Sister, that … we have been in this' space-time prison 'for two days, you see —"
But before he finished speaking, Kardashian suddenly got up and said, "My hair is indeed much more comfortable like this. My head hurts from the fight today. I want to rest early. If there's anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow! "
The young lady did not care about Roddy's expression. She went straight back to the bedroom and closed the door, leaving Roddy standing there with a puzzled face …
Was she really too sleepy? Or did he misunderstand something?
Roddy scratched his head and still could not figure out the main point. He wanted to lie down on the bed, but found that there was no one to help him. After a long time, he found a mop to mop the floor and used it as a crutch to support himself back to the room. In this situation, he was too lazy to wash his face and brush his teeth. After lying down, he quickly fell asleep.
Of course, he did not know that Kardashian, who was known as a "headache", was staring at the ceiling next door. She whispered sadly, "Why do we have to go out … Isn't this good?"
*****
Three days had passed, but Edith, who was in the "core room," did not see Roddy, who had "escaped from prison." This made the group of people who came to ask every day return in disappointment.
Edith could understand their feelings, but she did not have much hope for it. The punishment of the third "Time-Space Prison" was so severe that even she, as the creator of the array, didn't want to experience it. The "Time-Space Prison" array itself was a "super array" that transcended time and space. Its stability was questionable, and it was a controversial existence back then.
This was because its creation was beyond the High Elves' understanding. It was as uncontrollable as nuclear fission.
Therefore, the "rescue plan" was also a risk for Edith, who had excellent theoretical knowledge.
The preparation of the magic circle was time-consuming, because this kind of complicated space-time magic circle needed constant correction and debugging, and the energy consumed was also astronomical. Even though Elsen City had survived the energy crisis, it did not have many crystals at this time. At most, it was only enough for Edith to activate it twice. If the two searches failed, she could only resign herself to fate.
"It is indeed troublesome without a body …"
The Grand Arcanist also sighed helplessly. Edith, who once had the power of a "demigod," looked at the reflection on the crystal wall. After a moment of absent-mindedness, she waved her hand and changed the contents of the crystal wall to the scene outside the tower.
At this time, the Magic Tower had moved. In order to prevent the other Frost Dragon Race from discovering the "Hercino Magic Tower," Edith had to move the Magic Tower to the forest five miles outside the city. The Magic Tower's energy was currently stable. After the magic circle was activated, even Lord Victor would not be able to detect its existence unless he cast a special spell to search for it.
However, the powerful mobility and hiding ability of the "Hercino Magic Tower" and Edith's own power were too amazing. Even if Camilla chose to believe her, the cabinet was not willing to easily hand over the astonishingly valuable recharged crystals to someone of "unknown origin", "holding a" powerful weapon ", and" not of the same camp ".
In other words, the "Eiffta" forces did not completely trust Edith.
However, the solution was simple. Camilla, the guardian, represented Lord Roddy and signed a magic contract with Edith, which stipulated the use of the recharged crystals, Edith's duties in this plan, and other details.
This kind of contract was not polite. In fact, it was a clear statement that "I don't trust you." Camilla herself was against this contract, but the "cabinet" firmly believed that this contract was necessary.
And who was behind the "cabinet"? In fact, everyone knew that it was Sally, Duke.
From a personal point of view, Sally had a very good impression of Edith. After a few conversations, the Grand Arcanist's knowledge and wisdom even made her feel that there was an unreachable gap between them. The probability of such a person "going back on her word" was very small.
But a person was a person, and business was business. After becoming Duke, Sally became more aware of this. So, she ignored Camilla and Akasha's dissuasion and directly put the contract in front of Edith in the name of the "cabinet". On the other hand, the wise Edith didn't need Camilla's explanation at all. She signed the contract happily.
It was not only her own character that made her sign this contract, but also more complicated factors in various aspects.
For example, she knew that her current state was only a "castle in the air." Without a physical body, she could not do anything outside the Magic Tower. As a "foreign race" from the era of the High Elves, she was actually at a loss. Her greatest enemy, the "ancient sea monster", had been destroyed by Roddy. The reason that supported the existence of her soul for 700 years had disappeared. What should she do now?
Revive her physical body?
Take revenge on the demons?
Study more complicated planes?
Edith had considered these three ideas, and it was obvious that these three goals were related to the "witcher" Roddy. These days, she had also heard everything about Roddy from the three women. The more she understood, the more puzzled she became.
"An ordinary scout managed to reach this level in just a few years?"
She looked at the image of Elsen City on the crystal wall, puzzled.
This city was built by Khadgar. With the foundation of the Grand Arcanist, even if the city was controlled by a pig, it could still easily surpass the simple cities of the current human civilization in all aspects.
However, when she noticed the "extra" things in Elsen City, she found that things were not as simple as she thought. The roads outside the city, the train tracks, and the "experimental plane" that flew out of the Pasha Magic Tower from time to time were somewhat beyond her imagination.
Flat "roads" also existed in the era of the High Elves, but they were only used by the carriages of the ruling class. They were not used by the "commoners" at all. Although the High Elves' civilization was much more advanced than today's humans, the lives of most of the commoners were not as good as those in Elsen City.
The "train" was actually a variant of the transport ship. Looking at its scope of application, the "transport ship" that only laid tracks in the city was originally only used for military purposes. It had nothing to do with the commoners.
As for the "plane", it was completely unheard of. After the creation of the floating space tower, it became the trump card of the "high-level Arcanists." Its main purpose was agricultural irrigation and war. However, no one had thought of creating an aircraft that could escape from the magic circle. After all, the "high-level Arcanists" themselves had the ability to fly. If they wanted to fly, they just had to work hard to advance.
However, in Elsen, these three things seemed to be prepared for the "commoners."
This difference did not sound big, but Edith knew that for a civilization, it meant two completely different results.
In the current world, no one knew that Edith's life experience should be the standard example of a "commoner's counterattack." Existences like Khadgar, who had a thunderous reputation, were all supported by large families that had been operating for hundreds of years. After all, the cultivation of an "Arcanist" basically depended on a pile of money. "Hard work" alone was useless. It was very likely that the results of your hard work for most of your life were already there at birth for some people.
The solidification of the social class was an eternal characteristic of every civilization. If the ruling class was compared to a castle, then the only thing that the people in the castle wanted to do was to strengthen their position and control the "ticket" to enter the city. This was to prevent more people from sharing their profits.
When Edith was born, she could only be considered a small village girl born outside the castle. However, there were shortcuts to enter the castle. "Beauty" was one of them. Because of her stunning beauty, she was able to enter the circle of the castle. Using her extraordinary intelligence, she traveled among the various powers. There were indeed many High Elf nobles who wanted to take her for themselves. However, before they could fight for a winner, Edith herself had become a "high-level Arcanist" through hard work and talent.
This concept was similar to the ancient scholars who took the imperial examination to become a "Grand Scholar." It could be said that it was like a carp leaping through the dragon's gate. Her stunning beauty, which had always attracted trouble, became a protective charm. Because she was lucky enough to be accepted by the High Elf royal family, she became a high-level Arcanist supported by the royal family. Within 30 years, she successfully crossed the threshold of the "Grand Arcanist" and became one of the pillars of the kingdom.
This legendary experience was now a thing of the past for Edith. She gained not only power, but also a comprehensive view of the "High Elf civilization." When she left the "ordinary High Elf" and became a "demigod" who looked down on all beings, her understanding of the race had risen to another level.
So now, the new things in Elsen City were mostly "the mayor's whimsical attempts" in the eyes of others. But Edith saw a kind of "gap in civilization" in the eyes of others. There was one thing that innovation could be attributed to a person's genius idea. However, if a person could create a large number of feasible and mature ideas in a short period of time, it was definitely abnormal.
Others might have had the same idea, but first of all, their vision was not broad enough, and second, they could not accurately predict the consequences of Roddy's actions. In the end, they left it unsettled.
However, Edith's eyes were enough to see through the fog and went straight to the essence of the problem. A border scout who could only eat and wait for death had lived like a useless person before, but in the past three years, he had made a name for himself. This was not unprecedented in history. However, if he not only changed the fate of the country, but also accelerated the development of human civilization with his own efforts …
That itself became a suspicious point.
"Who are you?"
Edith's eyes stopped on the "Confinement Ball" that she used to communicate with Roddy, and her eyes became deep.
*****
Beep!
The microwave beeped, and Roddy took out the heated milk. He placed it under the capsule coffee machine and pressed the button. The mildly roasted coffee gave off a mellow aroma, and the amber-colored oil spread out on the surface of the milk, forming an ever-changing pattern.
This method was naturally different from the coffee shops outside. Roddy was too lazy to make the milk. He stirred it with a spoon, added some brown sugar, and brought the cup to the table. In front of him, Kardashian rested her chin on her right hand and looked at him. She said aloud, "No wonder I always felt uncomfortable when I came to the mansion in Elsen City. Now that I think about it, it turns out that you have too few servants there."
"Too few?"
Roddy casually turned on the projector. The news page of "Earthbreaker" had the title "Guide to the Silent Forest: How to Deal with the Wood Elves (3)". He could not help but laugh as he clicked on it. He found that the wood elf on the cover was the village chief, Brody, and the illustration below was the "Ranger Mentor", Natha. He could not help but feel that it was a lifetime ago.
"You are a great lord with a lot of wealth. When others have your status and wealth, they can't wait to be carried by servants. But you, sometimes you have to cook for Akasha herself. Only now do I understand that you have always lived by yourself. There is no one to take care of you. "
This made Roddy nod helplessly. But before he could say anything else, Kardashian pointed at the words on the wall and asked, "Isn't the Silent Forest next to Hollier City? You experienced a lot of things there, right? Huh? This wood elf looks familiar. Oh, isn't this Natha? "
Roddy felt that she was a little strange. He did not see her always interrupting him.
He looked away from the guide and decided to go straight to the point. "Yes, it is Natha. But this is also the problem. Sister, I want to discuss with you in detail how to get out of this' space-time prison '. "
After saying this, Kardashian seemed to collapse and mumbled something. Roddy could not understand her state at all. He asked, "Err … Did I say something wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just have no idea how to get out of here."
