Chapter 934

Natha rarely spoke so much, but she needed to play the role that the intelligence agency needed. Thus, she had prepared a script for what she was going to say. Brody looked at her and laughed. "Two years really weren't wasted. You've long surpassed an old man like me … That's great, that's great."

His words made Natha blush. Being shy, she quickly changed the topic. "Village Chief Bati didn't beat you up in the end, did he?"

"Not to that extent. No matter how fierce the quarrel was, it was just a quarrel. I persuaded him to open the trade route and let everyone have a good life. Even if he sold the metal armor in his village, they wouldn't have to starve … But he didn't listen, so I left after putting down the food. I hope they can survive the winter. "

Brody also wanted to find someone to pour out his frustrations, so he rambled on and on about many details. Natha found it strange and asked, "Chief Bati has metal armor?"

Bati's village was about sixty to seventy kilometers away from Elsa's village, but it would normally take four to five days to reach in the forest. Although Natha had never been there, she remembered that the Wood Elf villages in the Forest of Silent Whispers had similar economic standards. Metal weapons were already considered family heirlooms. Where had she heard of metal armor?

"I don't know when he made it. Before he left, he was holding a Magic crystal in his hand, as if he was afraid that I didn't know how valuable it was —" Brody said disdainfully. "But if you don't sell it, it's just a rock … Tsk, it's funny anyway."

When the old village chief shook his head, Natha frowned. She continued chatting for a while and then got up to leave. Brody saw her out. After leaving the wooden house, Natha went to the market and bought a few 'specialty' products of the Wood Elves that she didn't like: a basket woven from dried vines and a bottle of freshly brewed fruit wine.

This made it seem as if she planned to leave after a while. Along the way, she ran into Randolf again. The latter must have been 'fighting' the whole night. His eyes were unusually swollen, but he forced himself to come over and talk to Natha when he saw her. She raised the things in her hands and said that she had something to do before returning to the tavern.

When she entered, she saw Nora practicing her stab with her tail. She put down the things and said with a serious expression, "Something might be wrong …"

*****

October 25th.

"I didn't expect the information I collected here to be so incomplete."

In the cabinet office of the Dragon Tower, Kardashian sat on a large wooden table and ate a red fruit. She complained, "The dragons record history from a different perspective than the High Elves … I had forgotten about this before. But now that I look at it carefully, many of the details are completely vague. Some are even just guesses. "I really don't know who wrote these records."

She had returned to the Dragon Domain to look for information on the destruction of the High Elves. However, she found that there weren't many samples that could be used for analysis.

Roddy didn't expect the Dragons to be lazy either. He read through some documents from 700 years ago and found that the Dragons' records of the High Elves were very general: what happened on a certain date, what happened, and what happened. From beginning to end, it was summarized in one sentence.

It sounded like the Records of the Grand Historian, but it wasn't as detailed. This was because the Dragons who wrote these records seemed to be just doing their job. They would write a few sentences when they were interested and throw them aside when they weren't. Roddy looked again and again and felt that it was worse than a primary school student's composition.

"In the end, it seems that the Dragons also think that the destruction of the High Elves is strange?"

"Yes. Actually, all the lords have discussed this before, but they all have their own opinions. Most of them think that the demons are the cause. Some also say that the High Elves' arcane magic is dangerous … Oh, this was said by the previous lord of the Red Dragons because Edith once taught his subordinates a lesson. "Kardashian pursed her lips." He must have said that because he couldn't win. "

"But the information you brought mentioned something." Roddy wrote a word on a blank piece of paper. "Out of control."

"The High Elves' internal strife was caused by the loss of control of certain groups. This seems to be a very important cause. But what kind of loss of control was not clearly written … The High Elves' consciousness? Could it be that the demons invaded their minds? "

"Very likely." Kardashian followed his train of thought and analyzed. "Perhaps some High Elves, like the Dragons, accidentally discovered a way to connect to the Demonic Plane and were controlled?"

This was the most likely analysis at the moment, but Roddy still cautiously put a question mark on it. "The specific situation still needs to be investigated. If this is wrong, there will be many detours in the future. So we still need to find more sources to confirm. "

"The books you found in Wagra City didn't have any records?"

"There are some, but the records mainly record the process of the Beastmen's invasion. After the fall of the capital, the High Elves struggled for a period of time before completely vanishing. In other words, the books left in Wagra City are only a short period of records. "

During this period of time, Roddy had a headache sorting out the information. However, he had also confirmed many things from these scattered information centers. After comparing them over and over, he suddenly raised his head. "That's right, I forgot about the Holy Assembly …"

"Holy Assembly? You mean those who came to Elsen City to cause trouble? "

"Yes! They claim to be descendants of the High Elves. Camilla said that all these years, they've been collecting things left behind by the High Elves from all over the world. If we're talking about understanding the High Elves, the Holy Assembly must be the one with the most detailed understanding … "

At this point, Roddy rubbed the space between his eyebrows. "But the last time we entered the Helsinki Magic Tower, we killed most of them. Now we can only wait and see if they will jump into the trap in Wagra City. "

"I remember you mentioned this before May. You still don't have any feedback?"

As soon as Kardashian finished speaking, the entire laboratory suddenly shook. A muffled sound came from outside the window. It was obvious that Iscar's laboratory had messed up again …

"These people are really stupid."

Roddy didn't comment on his first wife's complaint. He continued the previous topic. "I've actually moved the ruins of Wagra City a long time ago. What's in there now is fake information. Mercenaries have already explored this place, but according to the tracking results of the intelligence department, it seems that the fish hasn't taken the bait yet."

"That's really boring. I was thinking of going to Lachiman to take a look after this."

Kardashian said casually. Roddy blinked. She wants to go to Lachiman? Then if Merlinsera finds out about me and her …

Swallowing, Roddy felt that this matter was still far away. It was more reliable to think about other things first. He said, "Let's go down and see how much more they've blown up."

When the two arrived at the laboratory, they saw the Dragons cleaning up the wreckage with their faces covered in dirt. The laboratory was reinforced by a barrier. This scale of explosion did not affect the structure of the tower. However, the four Dragons were arguing about the internal structure of the rocket.

"Alright, alright. The biggest problem right now is not the structure, but the materials. Let's first develop high-strength materials that can withstand high temperatures. The current structure … to be honest, it's already optimized to the limit. There's not much point in changing it. "

Kardashian was much more knowledgeable than them. After all, the physics and chemistry she learned on Earth was not for nothing. After she pointed out the problem, the other four Dragons finally calmed down.

"Sigh, I knew it was the problem with the materials. Now we have to make a sample. Just choosing suitable steel takes a long time."

Rubens was holding a pile of discarded steel plates in his hands. There were some black marks on his face, probably caused by the explosion just now. Iscar picked up a few broken pieces of metal from the ground. The traces of melting and cracking were very obvious. Everyone agreed with what Kardashian said. After all, all the optimization done by the four Dragons in the past few days was to make up for the lack of strength of the materials — but now it seemed that they had put the cart before the horse.
