Kardashian opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but seeing her father walk away so quickly, she could not help but feel a little aggrieved. When they first signed the contract, they agreed very readily, but now they broke the contract just like that. They did not even need to explain.
"Don't stand here, Natha. Come in and talk."
Roddy did not show too much emotion, as if the person who just left was just an insignificant guy. But his footsteps were a little heavy. After entering the house, he lay down on the armchair, looking a little tired.
Natha bit her lip and remained silent. She knew that something bad must have happened. It seemed that the cooperation between the Frost Dragon Race and Elsen City had broken down.
"I'll go and ask him!"
Kardashian looked at Roddy and felt even more uncomfortable. She got up and was about to go out. Roddy stopped her, "Don't go … You and I both know the consequences, so don't think about changing his mind now."
He took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. Even though Roddy was mentally prepared for Basta's words, he still did not expect the situation to suddenly become so bad. Victor said that the Frost Dragon Race would completely stop all cooperation with Elsen City. The reason was that the Dragons had made a decision: the next alliance with the human would be completely led by the Red Dragons, and everything would be decided by the Red Dragons.
Victor did not explain the follow-up reason, obviously because Roddy was not qualified to know. But Roddy did not need to guess to know that the Red Dragons must have used some means to force him to give up. Otherwise, the Lord would not have come to inform him in person.
The fact that he came in person was actually a kind of "sincere apology". But this was only a matter of face. In fact, if all the agreements were suddenly reneged after being signed, Elsen City would suffer the greatest loss. The prestige established by the "magic exchange meeting" was about to reach its peak. It was self-evident that this kind of thing was a heavy blow.
Although he asked Kardashian to fulfill the promise of "help once" before he left, he then gave a deadline of three months. The meaning was clear: I can only maintain this situation for three months at most. After that, you have to pray for the best.
Victor had done his best. Roddy had suffered a huge loss, but he still had to thank him. This was the gap caused by the unequal status. Kardashian did not realize this before, but in the time and space prison, she had a deep understanding of "her" arrogance. Now, she stood from Roddy's point of view and experienced her father's heartlessness.
This empathy made Kardashian grit her teeth — because she knew that Rody was the one who was really bearing the pressure from Elson. The suffering and humiliation he felt in his heart was much stronger than hers.
"What now? Just to watch Quto bully you? "
She tried to calm and asked.
"To be honest, Elsen is that Elsen is not Dragon. Saying that he was targeting me was really giving me face. If he said that he was targeting me, he would have given me face.
In the past, Rody would not have such a clear line of thought. But after his horizons were broadened, he could naturally understand the thoughts of different levels of power. Although he was angry, he couldn't do anything about it. Could it be that he could go and reason with Quaio?
"Let's not talk about Quto first. Your father is probably quite depressed now. No matter what, I have to thank him. "
Roddy pulled the angry Kardashian to sit next to him. Now, his mood had recovered very quickly. The moment when he was really angry was only a few seconds. Now his expression was not as stiff as before. "The enemy we have to face is not Quto. Now that Elsen has given up the cooperation with the Frost Dragon, there is still a chance to continue to cooperate in the future."
His words were naturally to reassure his first wife. Victor had saved his face. What reason did Roddy have to completely fall out with him? He stretched out his hand and gently smoothed out Kardashian's frown. She fell for Roddy's trick. She gradually relaxed and asked, "Then what should we do now?"
"Continue with the plan and deal with it as it comes." Roddy's eyes became serious. "If Quto finds someone else, then ignore him for now. If he chooses Charles II … then we should speed up our plan."
Having said that, he raised his head and said to Kardashian, "The research department sent me a few new blueprints today. It would be best if they can be produced as soon as possible."
The little female dragon did not say anything. She got up and walked out. "I will go now."
After the door of the laboratory was closed, Roddy slowly exhaled and pointed to the chair next to him to Natha. "Sit down and talk."
When he coaxed Kardashian just now, he did not avoid Natha at all. Although Natha did not show much expression on her face, she still felt a little uncomfortable. However, she had already habitually suppressed this feeling. She knew that helping Roddy solve the crisis in Elsen City was the true meaning of her hard work to get to where she was today.
"In two weeks, you will go with the team to the Forest of Silence. This mission of encircling the High Elves will largely rely on the cooperation of the intelligence department. When the time comes, the stronghold will be Ersa Village. So, you are the best person to link the two sides. "
Roddy did not let Natha be the overall person in charge because she was not a qualified leader. However, she was the best person to carry out orders and was also one of his most loyal subordinates. So, there were some things that he would not tell the real leader of the team, but he would tell Natha. "After all, humans and Wood Elves are different. So, your mission is not only to help collect information, but more importantly, to prevent humans from causing too much damage to Ersa Village."
Natha finally understood that he was protecting the Wood Elves of Ersa Village. She was instantly touched and bowed her head. "I will definitely complete this mission."
"The intelligence department is not the department that executes violence. But the field department has the right to intervene by force in emergency situations … Do what you need to do. You are the strongest in the team. I didn't teach you those things so that you could be a clerk. "
When Roddy said this, he felt a little emotional. After all, in his memory, Natha was his teacher.
Natha did not say anything else. She stood up and bowed — this was her usual style. Roddy was used to her silence. He waved his hand and said, "There are some specific details. I will send them to you in writing when the time comes. By the way, how is your Bringan language going? "
"I can understand it. If I don't, I will look it up."
Her answer was very straightforward. Roddy could not help but laugh. "Well, I don't know if I can finish these things this year. The next time we go to Lachiman, you should go and take a look. Seeing another world will be very helpful in improving your strength. "
Natha's fingers suddenly clenched, but she tried to keep her voice calm. "Okay."
After saying this, Roddy threw a crystal to her as usual. "I just made this. When you use it, it will generate an energy field in front of you. It will allow you to jump higher when you step on it. It's not bad to embed it on a wrist guard.
The Wood Elf girl carefully took it and put it in her pocket. When she left the laboratory, she felt that her previous depression had dissipated. Instead, her heart was filled with anticipation for the trip to Lachiman with Roddy …
Roddy, who was sitting alone in his office, sighed inwardly. He was not stupid. In the past, he had vaguely felt that the Wood Elf was testing him. Now, of course, Roddy understood why she liked to go to the Magic Tower whenever she had something to do. However, Natha's feelings were too restrained. If Roddy did not take the initiative to bring it up, she would not be able to express her feelings.
Roddy did not want to drag it out, but it was not the right time to talk about this. The war was coming, and the breakdown of the Dragons' cooperation made the outcome uncertain. Therefore, every time Roddy saw Natha, he could not help but give her a lot of things … This was not because he felt that he owed her, but because he wanted her to become stronger.
The world was in chaos, and only the strong could laugh at the end.
He had always hoped that Natha could keep up with him. After all, Roddy always had a special feeling for this student who had completely inherited his "Ranger" experience.
But now was not the time to think about this. The news brought by Victor was a blow to "Elson's" reputation. The most important thing was … What did Queio want?
