The two young Dragons gulped. This place was different from the Dragon Tower. It was surrounded by big shots, and they could not afford to offend them …
"Look, these guys are not serious at all. What's the difference between them and humans when they act wretchedly?"
Kardashian complained to the Queen, who was sitting beside her, and the latter giggled. Sally was now used to communicating with the Dragons as equals. She originally thought that after becoming the Queen, she would become a "lonely person" with no friends because of her power and status. However, the Dragons did not care about her identity at all. This atmosphere made Sally feel very comfortable. There was no conflict of interest between them. Even listening to them gossiping was interesting.
Edith was also sitting at the edge. She had a special identity, but Kardashian would occasionally talk to her. The other Dragons knew that she was the "Director of the sanatorium", and when it came to the entertainment area, they would politely ask her about it.
Roddy and Natha were the last to arrive. The waiter was pushing the dining cart and placing the dishes on the table. Natha did not know how to dress up for such an occasion. Finally, under Roddy's suggestion, she changed into a formal dress and tied up her long hair. As a Wood Elf, her appearance was already outstanding. After her body was healed by Morales, even the lines of her muscles seemed to be more coordinated. Now that she was dressed up, she was not inferior to a group of Dragons.
Kardashian glanced at Natha's slightly swollen eyes and rolled her eyes at Roddy. "Why, did you bully the little girl?"
"No, no …"
Natha hurriedly explained, but Roddy asked her to sit down. "Alright, she likes to bluff. Let me introduce you to everyone in our team — "
After a round of greetings, Natha was considered a member of this team. The dishes were served on the table. The atmosphere was relaxed, and Natha, who was a little nervous, relaxed a lot. After all, she did not have much contact with Kardashian in the past. In the face of so many Dragons, she could only remain silent and not speak at all.
Roddy knew her personality. After a few drinks, he said, "It was all thanks to Stika that Natha was injured. I have to thank him again."
He toasted, then said, "Next, I plan to go to the place where Natha was attacked. There might be clues left behind by the High Elves in the new ruins. It also involves my previous plan for the Holy Assembly …"
"The Sacred Congregation?" Rubens suddenly understood. "Oh, I remember now. Those who claim to be descendants of the High Elves. They must have a lot of information on the High Elves. By the way, isn't Lady Edith a High Elf? "
"I can't answer the Prime Minister's questions. I only know that there are some small towns outside Wagra City. It wouldn't be surprising if they still exist. However, I can't remember any towns or villages near the coordinates that Natha pointed out to me. Perhaps they only appeared after I fell asleep."
Edith sat upright and answered. There was a glass of water in front of her, but it was just for show. Hearing her words, Rubens waved the knife and fork in his hand. "Then … I can help capture the people from the Holy Assembly and interrogate them. It would be considered a contribution to the paper, right?"
Kardashian rubbed her forehead. "I really have to give it to you. You only know how to solve problems with violence. If it were so simple, would you even have the chance to capture them?"
"Indeed, with the current ability of the Intelligence Bureau, it is still difficult to find the traces of the Holy Assembly. So, I thought of a way before … "
Rody continued her words and carefully explained the previous' trap plan '. He then said, "However, the appearance of the new ruins has disrupted my plans. So, I want to see what is inside the ruins first before I make any further plans."
"Then let's go. I'm in! When are we going? "
"It's not far anyway. Count me in."
"Is it an adventure? I haven't done it for a long time. What if I find the treasure? "
Rubens, Essien and Stika all agreed immediately. Iscar was even more enthusiastic. "Then can I bring the crystal cannon and test its power on the way?"
Seeing that the Dragons were so enthusiastic about exploring the ruins, Sally was relieved. She knew that she definitely could not leave the Magic Tower. If Roddy went, with the five Dragons by his side, there might not be many people in this world who could pose a threat to him …
Such a luxurious team also set off a huge wave in Natha's heart. Although Roddy looked like he was chatting casually, who knew how long this guy had been preparing for today's plan?
He said that he was going to get back at them after being bullied. Now it seems that not only is he going to get back at them … I'm afraid that even a group of Magisters will be crushed to pieces.
Thinking of this, she felt a little sour in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and drank some water to hide it.
"Of course it's not a problem to bring the crystal cannon. But now I'm worried about how to find the murderers who attacked Natha. If you fly directly as a dragon, I think this group of people will be scared away, and it will be difficult to track them. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Iscar immediately added, "That's easy! Didn't you say that many mercenary groups are looking for the ruins? Let's also pretend to be a mercenary group and explore it. Then, we'll wait for them to take the bait. What do you think? "
"Hey, that's a good idea! Don't human bards always sing about this kind of story … Something about a mercenary group meeting a dragon in the forest, then after a battle, they slayed the dragon and returned — "
Stika pushed him. "Rubens, can you use your brain?"
Everyone burst into laughter as they watched the two dragons bicker with each other. They did not take tomorrow's operation seriously. After all, with five Dragons, even ten of the highest-level bosses in the Silent Forest would not be enough to deal with them. It was normal for them to be so confident.
At this time, Natha finally took the initiative to speak. "Then … I'll be your guide tomorrow."
"Your body —"
"It's already fine. Since I still remember the way, let me lead the way tomorrow."
After saying that, Natha felt sweat on her forehead. After all, she was really anxious to interrupt Roddy in front of so many Dragons. Sally wanted to speak, but Kardashian gave her a look, and the Queen kept quiet. At first, Rody wanted to let Nora go. However, seeing Nata's determination, he knew that she was stubborn. In the end, he nodded and said, "Alright. Listen to my instructions and don't run around."
Natha was relieved and quickly agreed.
After the meal, Rubens continued to drag Stika and the others to the entertainment area. Roddy accompanied Sally to talk to Queo and Morales, which could be considered as checking on the "effects of the treatment" during this period. Only Natha returned to her own ICU.
Edith brought her the routine potion. In fact, her body was indeed fine. These days were just an "observation period," so it did not matter whether she drank the potion or not. However, Natha still drank the potion obediently. Edith took the cup and said, "Rest early. Don't stay up late."
"Ah?"
Natha did not know why she said that. Edith did not explain and left with a smile.
After turning off the illumination circle, Natha, who was lying on the bed, found that she could not fall asleep. She closed her eyes and tried to relax, but after a while, she would stare at her hands in the dark with her eyes wide open. Then, she would roll back and forth in the quilt...
She was used to loneliness, so this was the only way to express her inner joy.
In the room upstairs, Roddy did not accompany the Queen to rest early. Instead, he was frowning as he read the news that had just come from Ayesha Village today. Brudy's handwritten letter showed the recent strange events in the Forest of Silent Words, which puzzled him.
"Theory of bloodline? Isn't this the name of the Holy Assembly? "
Roddy crossed his arms and carefully thought about the meaning behind this. Sally took a sip of the milk warmed by the magic circle and leaned on the table. "Many places have theories of bloodline. Some nobles only choose their heirs by marrying close relatives. The Holy Assembly is not the only one who does this. "
"You're right. I'm a little too sensitive now. The Holy Assembly is still human. How can you tell that Camilla has High Elf bloodline? "
"Yes, she's beautiful."
Sally's meaningful answer made Roddy feel a little helpless. He put the letter aside and changed the topic. "Let's go to Ayesha Village tomorrow. I haven't been there for more than two years."
Then, he picked up a few letters with special marks on them. "What? You've also started to study prophecy?"
He was talking about the dreams recorded by Houdini. The prophecy Magister had indeed shown Roddy the accuracy of certain aspects of the prophecy through several dream records. Although most of the content was abstract and vague, at least it wasn't made up. Now, every month, the Archmage would record one or two dreams. Some of the things matched up while others seemed illusory. Rody simply asked him to record and systematically sort out the meaning of the things in the dream. This step had the meaning of 'dream analysis'. However, what he could see at the moment was only fragmented fragments.
"After the cabinet dealt with the affairs, I'm finally free. I have to find something to do besides studying divine spells. I'm just going to look through it. "Sally said as she stroked the Viper Mogala who was lying lazily on the table." Roddy, what do you think prophecy is based on? Is there a secret hint from the gods? If something is accurately predicted and it happens, will its occurrence have an element of being 'prophesied' in it? "
This was a classic question that all "prophets" had to face. Roddy remembered that in the Middle Ages on Earth, there was a famous "prophet" who predicted that he would die on a certain day. After he lived to that day, he killed himself to prove the accuracy of his prophecy. This was a joke in modern times, but in this world, it was not so funny.
