Strange emphasized the difference. "I heard that Prime Minister Roddy went to Lachman, but I didn't expect him to do so many things without a sound! He even has a fleet … How much money would that cost! "
"Charles II doesn't seem to have a decent fleet?" Crohn did not know much about ships. He only vaguely knew that a large warship required a lot of time and energy to build, and a huge amount of money to maintain after launching. Because there was not much desire for marine resources, and because shipbuilding technology was not brilliant, the Kingdom of Karen's annual naval construction was only at the stage of "maintaining the old capital".
"There are only seven or eight decent warships in the port here. I heard that on the day the Eiferta fleet came, a round of concentrated fire directly smashed one of them."
Strange had gathered all this information from the Four Corners. She was the most sensitive to current affairs among all the Magisters, and she was the first to know that Elson was going to hold a "magic exchange".
Now listening to her, Crohn also faintly felt the amazing power behind Roddy. After all, back in Elson, they were only amazed by the other party's authority in magic. And now it seemed that Roddy had crushed Charles II in all aspects.
"That's a good thing. With a fleet, it means that his future is far more than the current country."
Crohn sighed. "He has higher standards than Emperor Koen, as if he didn't put the royal family in his eyes from the beginning … Now that I think about it, it's only been less than a month since the war started."
Strange nodded. "So we have to be prepared!"
"What preparation?"
"Preparations to go to Lachman!" Strange said, her eyes shining like a little girl. "The route between Elson and Lachman is definitely open. Now that the kingdom is unified, we will definitely send mages over for exchange in the future! There were only a few apprentices selected at the beginning, I don't know if it will be a Magister's turn this time … "
When it came to the issue of magic, Crohn also became spirited. "It's such a long way … There are no particularly large ships here, I guess the quota will be very limited?"
"So should we discuss it with the Prime Minister in advance? If we can go to Lachman, I'd be happy to take out all my Magic crystal! "
Strange's voice was very low. She only had her back to Scarlet, obviously because they couldn't get along. Just as Crohn was about to answer, he heard a rustling sound next to him. Turning their heads, the two realized that there were people at the entrance of the public laboratory, and all the mages stood up.
Because the person who entered the door was none other than the "Prime Minister" they were just talking about — Roddy.
"Everyone, sit down. There's no need to stand up. I just want to say a few things."
Roddy was dressed very casually. He wore a hunting jacket and a sword. This outfit was much simpler than the complicated clothes of the royal family. There were more than twenty mages in the room, and three of them were Magisters. Roddy's gaze was naturally focused on Crohn, Strange, and Scarlet.
He looked around the large "public laboratory." This place was originally designed for low-level mages to "experiment and communicate." When Queio created this Magic Tower, he mainly referred to the style of the High Elves, so the style here was very similar to Helcino's.
Of course, Roddy wasn't here to lament. He stood in front of the crowd and said, "The contents of the discussion with the Dragons are almost done. The alliance ceremony will be held in a week. I hope that everyone will be on time. It would be best if you can come. If anyone doesn't want to participate, you can bring it up with me now. "
Naturally, no one objected to this, so Roddy directly put a notice on the table next to him. "The specific seats are all here. If you're afraid of getting it wrong, you can go to the venue below to look for it in advance."
After the mages quieted down again, Roddy continued, "There's another thing. The port reconstruction will probably be completed in September. At that time, there will be a route to Lachman. This time, it's not strictly an exchange, so all mages above apprentice level are eligible to sign up. There's no upper limit to the number of people. As I said, if anyone doesn't want to go, just let me know. "
This news immediately caused an uproar in the crowd. Even Scarlet, who had always been cold, had her eyes lit up. Crohn and Strange, who were just thinking about how to fight for the opportunity, were also a little stunned. After a few seconds, Strange asked in a low voice, "Then … can we bring the apprentices in our Magic Tower?"
"Yes, bring as many as you can. Let me remind you, it's better to get used to the long voyage in advance, lest you vomit on the way."
Then Roddy pointed at his feet. "After tomorrow, the Dragons Tower will become the 'Dragons Office in the Kingdom of Karen.' Each of the five major Dragons will send at least one member of the Dragons to be stationed here, and this will also become the future administrative center of the Kingdom of Karen. All mages will still work in Elson in the future, but you still have a month to prepare. In the middle of July, bring your items and apprentices here to gather. "
This was said without rhyme or reason, because to go to Elson, they needed to go north. Why would they come to the Imperial City?
However, the vibration from under their feet seemed to answer this question. Hearing a low roar coming from outside the window, Roddy saw many people turning their heads to observe, so he pointed and said, "There's no harm in looking, because the future airport to this place is under construction. The road from here to Elson will take about four to five hours by plane."
With permission, Crohn and the others quickly rushed to the window, because this laboratory was at the top of the Dragon Tower, almost 80 meters above the ground. Including the terrain of the central square, it was much higher than the position of the city wall. Looking north from here, they could see the land in the north of the city that was changing violently …
The scene of the Black Dragon spreading its wings to cast a spell was too conspicuous. The originally dense forest and giant trees quickly withered, broke, and turned into countless debris under a green light. The color of the soaked ground was originally dark, but with the recitation of the spell by the Black Dragon Herrlöw, a faint light flashed in the soil, and the Mages could see that this was a precursor to the Solidification Spell.
The next moment, an invisible force suddenly pressed down, and the ground covering an area of more than four square kilometers was compressed and flattened with a bang.
After that, the Solidification Spell completely permeated the ground over and over again, and the entire prototype of the entire airport was completed in these few minutes.
This scene made the mages in the Dragon Tower feel the same as Roshak and the others in the past, unable to calm down for a long time. But what they were thinking about was another point — since when were Dragons willing to help humans do these things?
What else would they do in the future? Would these Dragons also fly over and burn to ashes whoever Roddy disliked?
Thinking of this, the mages were even more in awe.
They did not know that this was the effect that Roddy wanted.
The construction of the airport was actually just a suggestion by Kardashian. The other Dragons happened to be idle, and now that they wanted to build a good relationship with Roddy, they all agreed to go over and show their skills. And at this moment, Roddy let the mages "coincidentally" watch the process. In the future, the deterrence of this group of people would affect all their decisions for a long time.
Previously, Roddy had thrown out so many benefits, naturally, he would not simply be a Lei Feng. The principle of "carrot and stick", he could now easily use it.
"That's all, I'll leave first. Continue with your work. "
He exchanged a few pleasantries with the Mages, then quickly left. And as soon as he left, there was a heated discussion in the public laboratory …
*****
A week later.
Charles II had stayed in the closed hotel for five days. Compared to his haggard appearance at the beginning, the current him had regained his original complexion. There was enough food every day, and there was hot water for a bath. Other than not being able to go out, the family did not suffer any abuse. However, such days were still a kind of torture for the former royal family.
They felt that there was a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and they did not know when it would fall.
And this morning, Charles II was awakened by a knock on the door.
He got up from the bed in simple linen pajamas. The Queen beside him pursed her lips and held his hand, but Charles II signaled her not to be nervous and went to open the door himself.
Outside the door was no longer a soldier, but a white-haired old man who looked like a butler. Charles II suddenly felt that he looked familiar, and the latter had already bowed and said, "I am Count Fraser's butler, Mora."
"I've seen you before, at the Autumn Hunting Ground."
Charles II accurately said this, but the other person did not show a grateful look. He just nodded and said, "Your memory is not bad."
This kind of reaction made the former emperor very uncomfortable. He was stunned and continued to ask, "What's the matter?"
"Prime Minister Roddy needs you to cooperate with the 'Kingdom of Karen and the Dragons Alliance Ceremony' that will be held today. Here is what you need to do. It's all written on the paper. "
The butler took out six pieces of paper and distributed them to everyone in front of him. The Queen, who had never been involved in political affairs, was a little hesitant. "We, we also need to read it?"
"Not only do you need to read it, but you also need to sign after reading it to show that you accept the content."
Mora beckoned the servants behind him and placed quills and ink on the table for them. Charles II knew that this might be related to his fate, so he quickly picked it up and read it. After a quick glance, his eyes widened in surprise. "We won't die?"
The two princes immediately breathed a sigh of relief, while Princess Rowling read the content of the paper to her illiterate sister in a low voice. After the latter nodded in confusion, Rowling held her little hand and signed their names one by one.
