After communicating with Melinsera for a long time, Rody actually has a much deeper understanding of the Dragon Clan than ordinary people.
Like everyone else, he once believed that the Dragon Race was an unattainable "superior race". Strong, long-lived, smart and arrogant. But after listening to Melinsera tell so many dragon stories, Rody realized that these guys also have "shortcomings" and "loopholes".
The simplest description is "ungrounded". Because of the noble blood, the dragons seldom encounter resistance when they go out to "perform missions". This is just like the second generation of officials and rich people relying on the influence of their parents to run rampant. Almost all civilized races are full of fear and respect for the dragons, so the way the dragons handle things is very "simple and rude".
If you don't accept it, you will fight. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish. If you are pleasing to the eye, you are my younger brother. If you are not pleasing to the eye, I will beat you to death first.
There is no need to intrigue, no need to use any brains. After a long time, these dragons who go out to perform tasks will generally appear to have low emotional intelligence. In other words, it is very simple, and even its views on things are generally in the stage of pure dualism of "either good or bad".
This means that once they think they can be trusted, there is much room for negotiation.
If they were allowed to mix among the nobles of the Karen Kingdom, they would definitely belong to the category that would be eliminated naturally. But the tyrannical blood and strength of the Dragon Clan allow them to ignore almost all rules, because they themselves are the few who make the rules.
It is precisely because of these reasons that Rody at this time can be serious and lead them into the trap he arranged step by step.
"Your Excellency Iscar, Ms. Kardashian, Your Excellency Essien."
After the other party made a self-introduction, Rody did not forget to pull Melinsera to the side to salute together. At this time, Merlinsera would naturally not reveal her flaws, and she could not show any resentment with her low eyebrows.
"I named these 'heterogeneous species' 'Tiefling', which is a description of the bards of the Karen Kingdom to the mixed-blood demons of hell, so I rashly used it." Rody extended his hand to invite several The Dragon Clan took their seats. "The entire tieflin group consists of 237 people, all of whom are in this village. If the three gentlemen want to conduct research, I will fully cooperate."
"I've researched it so far that I've seen them a lot, and I'm here just to confirm the situation."
Iskar's words have obviously softened a lot. Compared with Kardashian's domineering, his way of handling things is slightly smarter. At least Iskar understands the importance of "receiving younger brothers", otherwise the Dragon Clan can't do anything if they have to run errands by themselves. Now there is a human being who is opposed to Augustine who is willing to stand up to help him, and the other party has provided quite useful information, so the face that should be given will naturally be given.
"There are many cases? It seems that there are not a few people who are infected like tieflings. I thought they were the only existence in Tasman. Because their elders said that they have never seen any of the same kind."
Roddy said with emotion, his posture was still very low. Such a respectful look made Kardashian very useful. She waved her hand and said, "This small place in Tasman has indeed never seen other examples. We are talking about the entire continent."
What a retard...
Merlinsera on the side had to admire Roddy's ability to use clichés. He didn't ask at all, but put on a posture of "Oh, you are so amazing, I haven't seen anything", and then waited for the other party to show off the information.
Many people don't understand the advantages of "information asymmetry", and the same is true for the two Dragon Clans right now. They have traveled high and high, and traveled across the continent for a long time, but they did not realize how important such information is to human beings who have no information. And Luo Di was naturally happy to pick up this bargain, and said with admiration: "This is the first time in my life that I have stepped out of the Karen Kingdom. I am short-sighted, so naturally I can't compare with a few Your Excellencies."
Iskar and Kardashian are very comfortable with this kind of secret flattery, but Roddy naturally not only flattered, but also began to gradually test it: "But although I haven't traveled too many places, I have a long-standing grudge with Augustine of the Tasman .Up to now, I have confronted him several times overtly and secretly. I have some doubts and would like to report to some of your lords. I wonder if I can take a few minutes?"
"Grudges with you? Still confronting?" Kardashian thought she had caught Roddy's bragging, and said mercilessly, "Are you thinking too highly of yourself?"
"Kardashian."
Iscar took the initiative to stop him, which was obviously an active gesture to Rody. And Rody was not angry, he showed gratitude to Iscar, nodded and continued: "I didn't think that an undead monarch would specifically target me, but everything must start from the lord of Efta, the Duke of Luciferon." Speaking of..."
From Ansardin's potion, to Magda's assassination, to Bellom's decisive battle in Elson, Roddy emphasized the sharp conflict between Augustine and Karen Kingdom in simple language, and this kind of When Augustine's orc incarnation destroyed the elemental plane portal, the conflict completely turned into a conflict between him and Rody.
The narration from beginning to end only took three or four minutes, but the expressions of the two dragons changed again and again. From the disapproving frivolity at the beginning to the seriousness of deep frowning at the end, Iskar and Kardashian glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at the crystal dragon Essien. The latter nodded expressionlessly: "He didn't lie."
Now the weight of Rody's words can be said to have skyrocketed. The two dragons were very concerned about Augustine's spell of smashing the "Elemental Portal". They asked several questions about the details. After receiving the answer, Iscar obviously confirmed something. , said in a low voice: "It seems that everything is in line with the records. The original spell fluctuations were emitted by Augustine, which proves that Augustine himself has mastered some forbidden spells, and now he has applied them to the study of magic circles."
"Does that mean that Augustine searched for these tieflings just to perfect his magic research, or...to use them as sacrifices for certain rituals?"
After the clues became clear, Rody's deduction was almost the same as the truth, and apparently Iskar and Kardashian also thought so. And Rody, who observed carefully, saw a little fear and... eager to try in their eyes.
Although I don't know what attitude these dragons have towards Augustine, since the dragons can let the younger generation come out to solve the problem by themselves, it is obvious that they have assigned a task. Regardless of whether it is elimination or investigation, there will be an evaluation standard for the completion of the task - "investigate Augustine's behavior" and "kill Augustine". Which of these two results can improve the status and popularity, Roddy thinks it is not necessary at all think.
Although Augustine is powerful, why has the Dragon Clan lacked high-end combat power
"My idea is to transfer these tieflings secretly, so that Augustine can't complete his vision at all."
This is naturally another pitfall: the tree is dead and the person is alive. If the experiment cannot be done, a substitute will be found sooner or later. How could the Dragon Clan allow Augustine to continue researching forbidden spells? So he continued seemingly inadvertently: "Augustine doesn't know that I am ambushing under his nose right now. It is not difficult to do this. Otherwise, once he knows that I am here, he also knows that I defeated him. Dajun, it is estimated that this old bone may come out and kill me."
This last sentence is the final bait in Roddy's countless language traps.
"Wait, you said you defeated his tens of thousands of troops? When did this happen?"
Kardashian couldn't hold back and asked first. This reaction immediately made Roddy understand. He calmly faced the slightly puzzled eyes of Iskar and Kardashian, and replied with a smile: "It may be said Your Excellencies don’t believe it, this is going to happen soon.”
... ... ...
While Rody was chatting and laughing with several Dragon Clans, five teams composed of high elf mages, dragoon cavalry regiments and barbarian soldiers had already arrived at the location Rody requested in succession.
In the rainforest of the Tasman Kingdom where it rains all the time, it is not easy to confirm the direction. But with the assistance of a high elf mage, "locating" becomes much easier - the coordinates that have been accurately calibrated through Houdini's prophecy in advance have been marked on the map, and what the high elf mage has to do is to narrow the error through reconnaissance spells , and confirm the final position.
It has to be said that the pre-positioning of the "prophecy" magister played a much greater role in this war than imagined. Although Houdini did not personally participate in the front-line battle, the coordinate map he provided left a lot of exploration time for Rody's team in disguise.
Right now, Erwin's team has arrived at the scheduled location. After the female high elf mage wearing a robe waved to start action, he immediately called his fellow clansmen to stand up: "Get up and work! Everything is done according to our rules." Do it the way you learned it at Elson! Don't make any mistakes!"
"yes!"
The six dragoon cavalry were also on hand to assist. What they did was to unload the slabs of the magic circle that they had carried along the way, and then assemble them according to the pattern they had trained in advance—this magic circle is not square or round in the usual sense, but every three pieces can be stacked into one. A small tower with a cubic meter square.
Each team carried seven such tower-shaped circles, and after the quick assembly, they began to inlay crystals. Each small tower was inlaid with 27 crystals and placed at a distance of about 50 meters. above, forming two successive rhombuses up and down, covering hundreds of square meters.
Because the terrain here has quite a slope, high elf mages are also required to cast spells to confirm that the intervals are consistent when positioning.
Erwin knew that this good-looking high elf mage was not a living person, but a puppet controlled by Akasha, so he always felt that he would have difficulty communicating with the other party. But to his surprise, the mage understood his words very clearly from beginning to end, and even gave instructions in standard lingua franca:
"Patch Knight, please move the magic circle three steps to your right."
"Okay, the magic circle can be fixed."
After waving his staff, activating and confirming the successful linkage of the seven magic circles, the high elf mage blinked, turned around and said to Erwin: "Everything is ready, Captain Erwin, we just need to be on standby now." OK."
"Oh, oh, okay. Thank you."
"This is what I should do."
Hearing the other party's answer, Erwin always had the illusion of being in a trance—did the other party smile at him just now
