Strange emphasized the difference: "I heard that Prime Minister Roddy went to Rahiman once, but I didn't expect him to do so many things quietly! He even has a fleet... How much does it cost? Where's the money!"
"Charles II doesn't seem to have a decent fleet?" Crohn didn't know much about ships. He just vaguely knew that a large warship would require a lot of time and effort to manufacture, and a huge amount of money would be required to maintain it after it was launched. Because there is not much desire for marine resources, and the shipbuilding technology is not very good, the Karen Kingdom's annual naval construction is only in the stage of "maintaining its old capital".
"There are only seven or eight decent warships in the port here. I heard that on the day the Efta fleet came, one of them was directly smashed by a round of firing."
Strange asked around for these contents. She is the most sensitive to current affairs among the magisters, and she was the first to hear that Elson was going to hold a "magic exchange meeting" last time.
Listening to what she said now, Kron could faintly feel the amazing strength behind Rody. After all, when they were in Elson, what they marveled at was the authority established by the other party in magic. And now it seems... It seems that Roddy has crushed Charles II from all angles.
"Then that's a good thing. Having a fleet shows that his plans for the future go far beyond the current land."
Crohn sighed: "He has a higher vision than Emperor Conn, as if he didn't pay attention to the royal family from the beginning... Thinking about it now, it has only been less than a month since the war started."
Strange nodded: "So let's get ready!"
"What preparation?"
"Prepare to go to Laximan!" Strange said like a little girl, his eyes were full of light: "The route between Elson and Laximan must have been opened. Now that the kingdom is unified, we must send mages in the future." We communicated in the past! We only selected a few apprentices at the beginning, so I don’t know if it will be the magister’s turn this time..."
When it came to the issue of magic, Kroen also came alive: "It's such a long way... There is no particularly large ship here, so the number of places will be very limited, right?"
"So should we discuss it with the Prime Minister in advance? If I can go to Laximan to have a look, I would be happy to take out all the magic crystals!"
Strange's voice was very low, and she was the only one carrying Scarlett behind her back, obviously because she didn't get along with her. And Kron was about to answer, but suddenly heard the sound of "crash, clatter" beside him, turned his head, and the two realized that someone had come to the door of the public laboratory, and all the mages stood up.
Because it was none other than the "Prime Minister" they were talking about just now—Roddy.
"Everyone sit down, don't need to stand up, I just want to say a few things."
Roddy was dressed very casually, with a hunting jacket and a saber, this outfit was much simpler than the complicated clothes of the royal family. There are more than twenty mages in the house, including three magisters. Roddy's eyes were naturally mainly on Crohn, Strange and Scarlett.
He looked around the large "public laboratory", which was originally designed for the collective "experimental communication" of low-level mages. When Quiao condensed this magic tower, he mainly referred to the style of the high elves. , so the style here is largely similar to Herchino.
Of course, Rody didn't come here to express emotion. He stood in front of everyone and said directly: "The content of the discussion with the Dragon Clan is almost done. The alliance ceremony will be held in a week. I hope you can attend it on time. It would be best if you can come. If someone If you don’t want to participate, you can ask me now.”
Naturally, no one objected to this, so Luo Di directly put a notice on the table next to him: "The specific seats are all here, if you are afraid of finding the wrong one, you can go to the venue below and look for it in advance."
After the mages were quiet again, Rody continued: "There is another matter. The port reconstruction will probably be completed in September, and there will be a route to Laximan at that time. This time it is not strictly a matter. Exchange meeting, so all magicians who are apprentices and above are eligible to sign up, and there is no upper limit on the number. Again, if anyone does not want to go, let me know."
The news immediately exploded in the crowd, and even Scarlett, who had always been indifferent, brightened up her eyes. Kron and Strange, who were still trying to figure out how to win the opportunity just now, were also a little dazed. After a few seconds, Strange asked in a low voice, "Then... can the apprentices in our magic tower take it?"
"It's ok, take as much as you want, let me remind you, it's best to get used to long-term sailing in advance, so as not to vomit unconsciously on the way."
Luo Di then pointed to his feet: "After tomorrow, the Dragon Pagoda will become the 'Dragon Clan Office in Karen Kingdom', and each of the five major dragon clans will send at least one member of the Dragon Clan here permanently, and this will also become the Karen Kingdom office in the future." The administrative center of the kingdom. The future work place of the mages is still in Elson, but you still have a month to prepare. In mid-July, just come here with your items and apprentices.”
This is nonsense, because you need to go north to go to Elson, why come to the imperial city
However, the vibrations under his feet seemed to be answering this question. Hearing the low roar coming from the window, Rody saw that many people were turning their heads to observe, so he pointed: "It's okay to have a look, because the future leads to The airport here is under construction, and the journey from here to Elson takes about four or five hours by plane."
After getting permission, Crohn and the others quickly rushed to the window, because this laboratory was at the top of the dragon tower, about 80 meters above the ground. Considering the terrain of the central square, it is much higher than the city wall. Looking north from here, you can just see the land in the north of the city that is undergoing drastic changes...
The scene of the black dragon spreading its wings and casting spells is too conspicuous. Those dense forests and giant trees quickly withered and broke under a green light, and turned into countless residues. The color of the soaked earth was originally dark, but as the black dragon chanted the incantation, a faint light flashed in the soil, and all the magisters could see that this was the precursor of the "hardening technique".
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 "boom".
After that, the solidification technique was used to completely infiltrate the ground over and over again, and the prototype of the entire airport was completed in just a few minutes.
This scene made the mages in the Dragon Pagoda, like Losak and others, unable to calm down for a long time. But what they thought was another point—when did the Dragon Clan want to help humans do these things
What else will they do in the future? Could it be that if Rody sees who is upset, these dragons will also fly over and burn the opposite side to ashes
Thinking of this, the awe in the hearts of the mages was even greater.
They didn't know that this was exactly the effect Rody wanted.
The construction of the airport was actually just a proposal from Kardashian. The other dragons happened to be idle, and now they wanted to build a good relationship with Rody, so they all agreed to show their talents in the past. At this moment, Rody let the mages "coincidentally" watch the process, and the deterrence of this group of people in the future will affect all their decisions for a long time.
With so many benefits that Rody has thrown out earlier, naturally he won't simply be Lei Feng. Now he can easily use the principle of "giving kindness and strength together".
"That's all there is to it. I'm leaving first. Keep busy."
He exchanged pleasantries with several magisters, and then left quickly. As soon as he left, there was a lively discussion in the public laboratory...
***********
a week later.
Charles II has spent five days in a closed hotel. Compared with the haggard appearance in the early days, at this moment, he has recovered his original complexion. There is enough food every day, and there is hot water for bathing. Apart from not being able to go out, the family has not been abused in any way. However, such a day is still a torment for the former royal family.
They felt like a sharp sword was hanging above their heads, and they didn't 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 plain linen pajamas, and the queen next to him held his hand with pursed lips, but Charles II signaled her not to be nervous, and he went to open the door.
There are no longer soldiers outside the door, but a white-haired old man who looks like a housekeeper. Charles II suddenly felt familiar, and the latter had already saluted: "I am Mora, Earl Fraser's steward."
"I've seen you, in the autumn hunting grounds."
Charles II said this accurately, but the other party did not show any gratitude, but just nodded and said: "You have a good memory."
Such a reaction made the former emperor very uncomfortable. He was stunned for a while, and continued to ask: "What's the matter?"
"Prime Minister Roddy needs you to cooperate with today's 'Karen Kingdom and Dragon Clan Alliance Ceremony', here is what you need to do. It's all written down on paper."
The butler took out six pieces of paper and distributed them to everyone in front of him. The queen, who has never touched political affairs on weekdays, was a little hesitant: "I, we also need to watch it?"
"Not only do you need to read it, but you also need to sign it later, indicating that you accept the above content."
Mora greeted the servants behind, and arranged quills and ink on the table for them. Charles II knew that this might be related to his own fate, so he quickly picked it up and read it. After quickly scanning it, his eyes widened in surprise: "We won't die?"
The two princes breathed out loudly, while Princess Rowling whispered the content on the paper to her younger sister who could not read. name.
"The change of power does not necessarily have to be at the price of blood. The war has already caused heavy losses to the kingdom, and the prime minister does not think that simple killing can solve all problems."
