Chapter 852

Roddy was busy with a lot of things every day, so it was rare for him to be in a daze. But at this time, he was staring at the manuscript in front of him like a statue. It was not until someone knocked on the door that he suddenly raised his head. "Camilla?"

The guardian who opened the door looked hurried. He said as soon as he entered, "I just intercepted a few letters! Some things are very important … "

Roddy did not talk nonsense. He raised his hand and took the letter handed over by the other party. After glancing at it, his face suddenly became gloomy.

This letter was sent from an inconspicuous magic tower in the middle of the kingdom. The recipient was a low-level mage in Elsen City who had just signed a contract and was willing to stay here. The message in the letter was very simple: Elsen City had lost its power. The Dragons were in full contact with Charles II and were about to establish a "magic academy" with the leader of the Red Dragons, Quayo, as the "headmaster".

The letter also said that if they left Elsen City now, they would still have the opportunity to join Quayo's magic academy. If they were late, they could only wait for the Dragons to come with the royal army!

Roddy took the letter and pursed his lips. After a few seconds, he finally could not help but whisper, "Caught in the middle of the struggle between the Dragons, it's really a burden on both sides …"

The content of the letter was mostly deceptive. First of all, it said that the Dragons would come to fight Elsen. If there was a war, the Dragons would not intervene in the war against the humans. This was their pride, and Roddy had no doubt about it.

But the establishment of a magic academy did not seem to be a lie. After all, Victor had just said that the Red Dragons would lead an alliance with the humans …

Camilla saw Roddy turn his head to look out the window and could not help but say, "Then the closing ceremony in the afternoon …"

"Continue. This news has not been confirmed yet. Kardashian is still here, so they may not believe it."

Roddy would never let go of these talented mages who had been gathered with great difficulty. He could not stop the Red Dragons from supporting Charles II, but the magic contract signed was not so easily violated. After all, not everyone had the strength and status of Lord Victor.

"Camilla."

He turned around and solemnly called out her name. Camilla could not help but straighten her back. Since becoming a "guardian", she had never seen Roddy with such an expression.

"What do you want me to do?"

"After the conference, completely block the channel of information. At the same time, let the mages who signed the contract to stay be sealed in the Magic Tower. "

Rody closed his eyes and took a deep breath before continuing, "I know it is difficult to completely seal off the communication channels between the sorcerers, but … I don't expect them to not know for the rest of their lives. As long as they can maintain it until the start of the war, we will have succeeded."

"Of course."

Camilla slightly clenched her fists, and then said with some worry, "Now —"

"Everything is normal. Follow me to the closing ceremony."

Rody walked towards the gate. Even though Elsen City was facing an unprecedented crisis, his calmness made Camilla's worries disappear.

"Roddy of," Roddy of, Roddy of of of.

With that in mind, Camilla followed him.

*****

When the conference in Elsen City was held as scheduled, a grand ceremony of the Magic Tower was being held in the Royal City in the southeast of the Kingdom of Karen.

The winter of 590 was not a good one for the Cullen royal family. The Orc's rampage had brought with it a flood of refugees. In this winter, the outskirts of the Royal City were filled with starving people. Even in the interior of the Royal City, during the coldest month of January, wanderers could be seen dying by the roadside due to starvation and cold. This was a rare occurrence since the founding of the Kingdom of Karen.

Famines often occurred in the northwest, where the land was barren, and the cause was mostly natural disasters. Due to the stable climate in the affluent south, no matter how bad the years were, the people in the Imperial City wouldn't starve to death. However, the orcs had dealt such a heavy blow this time that it could be said to be unprecedented. If Emperor Kang En was still alive, he would probably be infuriated to death by this fragile line of defense.

The royal family couldn't do anything about it, and there were very few ways to remedy it. When Charles II saw the news of Elsen City's prosperity through the Age of Karen, half of his hair had turned gray.

But in this era, productivity was backward. Other than sitting in front of the stove and waiting for a better harvest next year, there was really not much Charles II could do. He also didn't know how to deal with the increasingly powerful Efta.

With the arrival of spring, farmers began a new round of farming. The "Three Plots System" implemented by Count Duweiden had already begun to be popularized, but the predicted yield was far less than the one recorded by the "Cullen Era" of the farmlands near Elsen City. The "Cullen Era" was filled with news of victory all day long. There was news of a powerful grand magus joining Eiffta, causing Charles II's originally optimistic attitude to disappear completely. He could only comfort himself with "the newspapers are all lies". However, this monarch also knew that if this continued, the ruler of the Cullen Kingdom would change.

And at this critical moment, a visitor that he had never thought of in his life came to visit.

The leader of the Red Dragons, Queio, personally paid a visit to the royal family of the Kingdom of Karen.

When he saw Queio in a fiery red robe with dragon horns on his head, he thought he was dreaming. However, Queio politely expressed the purpose of his visit. In order to face a common enemy, the Dragons were willing to form an alliance with the humans. They also hoped that the Kingdom of Karen would be their first ally and set an example for the other countries on the continent.

What else could Charles II say? He only remembered that he almost shed tears at that time. Even a person with a dull political sense would know that the opportunity for the royal family to rise had come!

Queio left after reaching a preliminary agreement, leaving a young Red Dragons to discuss various cooperation matters with him. Charles II, of course, was more than happy to see this. As long as the request was not too excessive, he would accommodate it. But he soon found that these Dragons had no intention of interfering with the high-level affairs of the Kingdom of Karen. The cooperation between the two sides was limited to the training of sorcerers. The only thing related to politics was to keep a position of "Dragons' consultant."

The task of this consultant was to maintain the dialogue between the humans and the Dragons. His daily life was basically equivalent to an invisible person.

It did not sound like there would be any impact. He had obtained the influence of the Red Dragons out of thin air, and he could also have more powerful magic resources. All he had to pay was … to unify the Kingdom of Karen as soon as possible according to the other party's request. This kind of good thing happened to him.

These days, Charles II naively fell asleep laughing. But this morning, he got up early to prepare for the ceremony. At noon, when he arrived at the white square in the center of the inner city under the protection of the guards of honor, he found the scene in front of him was more "surprising" than he had imagined.

In addition to Lord Queio in a red robe, there were four other figures standing in the center of the square. The light blue robed Ice Dragon Lord Victor, the dark green robe Green Dragon Lord Morales, the skinny old Crystal Dragon Crupus, and the arrogant Black Dragon Herrlöw Pukatos were all gathered together. They probably did not expect that the Dragon Lords, who were hard to gather in the past, would actually meet in the human's capital!

When Charles II found out the identity of the people in front of him through the trembling royal archmage, he felt that his legs were cramping, and his eyes could not help but moisten — Emperor Koen! Have you ever thought that all the Dragons are willing to pay so much attention to your descendants?

"Your Majesty, these are almost all the Dragons Lords. The only one absent is the Shadow Dragons."

The archmage did not know about the changes of the Shadow Dragons, so he reminded Charles II. The latter did not care about the reason behind it. In his opinion, it was already a great honor for the Dragon Clan to have even one of them come, let alone five lords.

This excited monarch hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them one by one. However, these lords did not look good. After all, they were all here because of Queio. Among them, the Ice Dragon Victor and the Black Dragon Herrlöw Pukatos were the most dissatisfied. Besides Queio, the two of them wanted to be the "leaders" of the Dragons the most. Now that they were at a disadvantage, their mood was naturally very bad.

"Today, we are gathered here to support the glorious unification of the Kingdom of Karen. In order to face a common enemy, I hope you can remember this — when disaster comes, whether it is the Dragons or the humans, we will all stand on the same side. "
