At the dining table, Edith placed a glass of wine in front of her. There was no formal conversation at this time, so when they were chatting, Kardashian talked more with her.
"It's all thanks to your help that Roddy and I were able to escape from the space and time prison. I must propose a toast to you."
The little female dragon raised her glass to show her respect. At the same time, she kicked Roddy to remind him. Roddy was discussing the situation of the resurrection spell with Akasha. Seeing this, he quickly raised his glass.
Edith had felt that the relationship between these two was not ordinary before. Now, she was even more certain of it. She nodded calmly. "This is what I should do. If you did not find the Magic Tower, I would not be able to stand in the Magic Tower to thank you today."
She paused and continued, "Oh, before I go to Hollier, I hope to see Camilla."
"Sally, Duke will stay here for a few more weeks. Lord Victor should not come to Elsen City again. So, it is not a problem to place the Magic Tower in Elsen City today."
After answering these, Roddy suddenly thought of something. He turned to Kardashian and asked, "Shouldn't you take some time to see how your father is doing? Even if you are not interested, you should at least show some concern. After all, Basta came to report … "
"Got it. I will go tomorrow."
Kardashian replied coquettishly. She actually did not want to leave Elsen City. After all, she had just tasted the "sweetness" of love today. She was addicted to it. But her father's plan did not go well. She still had to go. Otherwise, it would be rude.
While the two of them spoke naturally, Edith, who was at the side, was shocked. She had thought that Kardashian and Rody were allies who had a stable relationship. Now, it seemed that the two of them had already surpassed the stage of 'good friends'. They might even have a more substantial relationship...
But … how did he do it?
Edith couldn't help but glance at Akasha and Sally. They were discussing the pros and cons of High Elf clothing, ignoring Roddy and Kardashian's intimacy.
Such a situation left Edith, who had been single all her life, a little confused. It was already incredible that she could settle Sally and Akasha. She had also clearly seen Camilla's confession in the Confinement Ball. Whoever could marry the three of them would have a 'worthwhile life'. However, not only did Roddy have an intimate relationship with all of them, but he had also … settled a giant dragon?
As a demigod, Edith was not surprised by the phenomenon of polygamy. This was because the High Elves were in similar situations. However, "Dragons" were a special case no matter where they were. Throughout the history of the High Elves, no one had ever truly fallen in love with a dragon. Everyone knew how romantic dragons could be.
With a Dragons as a wife, the power of Elsen City had to be reevaluated. She was somewhat glad that she did not steal the lead in the negotiation just now. If she had made a wrong move and caused the other party to suspect or become hostile, the Dragons would definitely make things difficult for her.
This guy, it seemed, was not as simple as he seemed.
Edith, who felt that she had walked around the edge of a cliff, could not help but re-evaluate Roddy. She found it difficult to make an accurate evaluation of him now. A self-made scout? Or an ambitious man who achieved his goals by conquering women?
Or was it all an illusion on the surface, and he was actually just a playboy who was good at deceiving women's feelings?
Demigods did not have the ability to understand cause and effect like real gods. She could only make inferences based on facts. Obviously, the personal experience of the Grand Arcanist had made her extremely sensitive to emotional deception. Back then, she had stood out among the commoners with her beauty. On her way to becoming a demigod, countless people had coveted and even taken action, but in the end, none of them had succeeded. How similar was the Roddy in front of her now to those guys who used to think that they were extraordinary? They all had several beauties in their arms, and they also had extraordinary wealth and power.
Similarly, such people had even greater ambitions, and they were putting their ambitions into action step by step.
She had to be careful of this guy.
Edith did not have any hostility towards Roddy. The cooperation between the two of them was a cooperation. In terms of personal achievements, she actually admired this guy who seemed to have a cheat code. However, Roddy's style of love really made her feel uncomfortable, and even a little wary. This was not narcissism, but the instinctive reaction of a High Elf who had once been a peerless High Elf.
However, after this feeling appeared, she realized that she did not even have a body. It was really unnecessary to worry about this problem.
Edith's thoughts were complicated, but Roddy did not realize that the Grand Arcanist would think so much. He only felt that everything had gone smoothly today, so he had a better impression of this High Elf. Thinking that he still had a sub-profession of Crystal Embedding Master, Roddy felt that consulting this Grand Arcanist would be the best choice. He said, "Lady Edith, if you have time, I would like to ask you about Crystal Embedding. Is that okay?"
He was just asking normally, but Edith looked at him strangely. She was full of wariness and thought, Is this guy really thinking about me?
"Crystal Embedding? That's not a problem … But my level might not be to your satisfaction. Just don't blame me when the time comes. "
Edith's answer was normal, and Roddy did not hear any other hidden meaning. He readily agreed, "I have always been trying to figure it out on my own. Of course, I still need the guidance of a master."
He raised his cup in thanks and then continued, "Oh yes, there was a Shadow Dragon Whelp in the Imprisonment Ball. I'm very curious how it is now."
"It's doing well. I was just worrying about how to deal with it." Edith followed Roddy's words and then raised her hand to show him the scene inside the Imprisonment Ball in the form of a phantom. Roddy saw that the Shadow Dragon Whelp was sleeping lazily. The wounds on its body had mostly healed, and its emaciated appearance had recovered a lot. At least now it seemed to be out of that sickly state.
"Huh? Why are there Shadow Dragons here? "
Kardashian, who was beside him, came over, looking at him warily. Roddy hurriedly explained his origins. Only then did the latter relax. "What do you want to do?"
"I want to try and tame it."
Roddy's words stunned Kardashian. Beside her, Edith also thought that this idea was a bit whimsical. She asked hesitantly, "Can witchers … tame Dragons?"
"Let's try. After all, it might be the last Shadow Dragon, even though it's only a Shadow Dragon —"
"This will cause trouble."
Kardashian interrupted him and said seriously, "If the other Dragons see it, they will choose to attack it immediately. After all, the lords have agreed to exterminate the Shadow Dragons. This Shadow Dragon Whelp is one of the targets to be exterminated."
"According to what you said, if it is the last Shadow Dragon Whelp, then the chances of survival will be higher." Roddy did not give up on this idea. "The purpose of exterminating the Shadow Dragons is to prevent them from summoning the Devil's Gate. Other than basic combat skills, the Shadow Dragons only know how to eat, drink, and poop. They don't know any magic at all, so there is no reason to exterminate them. When the time comes, I'll discuss it with Lord Victor and see if there's any room for negotiation … "
He finished speaking and sighed. "The most important thing is, if Eiferta's army can have a 'Dragon Knight', then the war will be much smoother."
This made Kardashian roll her eyes. "My dear lord, you are now a 'Dragon Knight'. Aren't you satisfied riding me to the battlefield?"
"Cough, cough …"
Sally, who was drinking at the side, choked on this sentence. She pressed on her chest and coughed for a long time. Akasha quickly stroked her back. Both of their cheeks were a little red. Obviously, they were not used to Kardashian's "magnanimity". Edith blinked her eyes and looked like she wanted to laugh but was holding it in. She did not know how to reply.
Roddy was really impressed by Kardashian's ability to talk awkwardly. He rubbed his eyebrows. "Because you are the Frost Dragon Race, so you can't join this war with me … After all, you need to listen to your father's orders in this kind of matter. If you participate in the battle between humans without permission, he might directly transfer you to another place."
Hearing this, Kardashian immediately became obedient. "Alright, alright, whatever you say. Tomorrow, I will beat up that Shadow Dragon Whelp and tie it in front of you to tame it. Are you satisfied now? "
After she finished speaking, she pouted and looked to the other side. Roddy hurriedly coaxed her … The first wife was powerful, but her temper was really incurable.
Edith originally thought that Roddy was a playboy, but when she saw him foolishly coaxing Kardashian, she felt that this guy was silly and cute. She thought that this guy would say some flowery words, but in the end, he actually came up with something like "I will give you a car blueprint when we get back" to coax a woman?
However, Kardashian seemed to really like it. When she heard this, she immediately smiled, which surprised Edith.
Could it be that I can't keep up with the times?
The Grand Arcanist felt that her impression of Roddy had changed again and again today. Even when the Magic Tower carried the soldiers back to Elsen City, she still could not confirm what kind of guy Roddy was in her heart.
It was already late at night. Roddy politely left with Kardashian and the others. When the Magic Tower was quiet again, Edith's phantom stared at the surrounding crystal walls in a daze. She saw that Roddy had brought the three of them back to the mansion together. She shook her head and could not help but sigh for Camilla. "Why do you like this guy …"
*****
After Roddy's return, Elsen City entered a peaceful period of development in winter. While other cities in the Kingdom of Karen were having a headache because of the cold and bad weather, Roddy was too busy because of the rapid development of various projects inside and outside the city.
Fortunately, before winter, Roddy had recruited a large number of talents through various ways to fill the vacancies in various places. After the initial run-in, the whole city finally began to operate in an unusually efficient mode.
For Elsen City, the current model that Roddy adopted was similar to that of a large enterprise. As the chairman, he was responsible for the direction, and Camilla was like the general manager, leading the operation of each department. So far, there were more than ten departments in the city, such as the Magic Research Department, the Agriculture Department, the City Administration, and so on. The promotion, rewards, and punishments were based on the model of the enterprise. The first batch of "officials" screened through the "Civil Service Examination" all performed their duties conscientiously. There might be corruption in other places, but obviously, all of this was completely eliminated in Elsen City.
