Volume Two [Dark Tide] Chapter Five Hundred and Thirteen Scared

ps. Here is today’s update. By the way, I will vote for the "Starting Point" 515 Fan Festival. Everyone has 8 tickets. Voting will also give you starting point coins. I beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Akasha's words caught the eyes of Houdini and others—compared with the extravagant, wasteful and powerful Karen royal family, Roddy's "hard and simple" style obviously made the mages of the Rahiman Kingdom give birth to many Come closer.

Nothing else, most of the assets of Mage Laximan are spent on things like spell research, mage towers, and spell scrolls. Even the rich among them rarely spend money on meaningless decorations or "ostentation" ” because that would mean nothing to them. This concept is also related to their experience - in the decades of struggle to drive the magic stick out of the ruling class, Master Rahiman relied on this habit of "spending good steel on the blade" to successfully gain a foothold .

To put it bluntly, they are the grassroots who have just "turned over to become masters". They have not had time to adapt to this luxurious life, and they still carry the "occupational disease" of careful planning in their bones.

Therefore, for Houdini and others, the extravagant life and extravagant ostentation do not make them feel envious. Charles II's behavior falls in their eyes, but they will end up with a few comments in private as "wasting gold coins" .

"... Prime Minister of the Efta Cabinet, Lord Rody of Elson City, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you..."

Roddy looked at Houdini who was the leader and bowed first, and the latter hurriedly waved his hands and rushed up to support him: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I didn't pay attention to those warning signs, old people... always careless!"

Houdini was all smiles, and he had already put aside his previous disappointment and disdain for Elson City, and his tone of greeting was like a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

It's just that this is a formal "diplomatic meeting" after all, and the previous attack was indeed embarrassing, so after a few courtesies, the atmosphere on both sides naturally cooled down.

Fortunately, Merlinsera came to the rescue in time,

Standing up and smiling at Rody, he said, "I was full of words when I was invited, but when I really came, I just hit him with a forbidden spell? Rody, you can really do it—"

The corners of Luo Di's mouth twitched slightly. He never thought that Merlinsera would talk to him with such an expression and tone, but he reacted quickly and immediately replied: "Ha! Don't mention it, seeing the signal you sent I was almost scared to death, no... the mage who went up with me to record has not come down yet."

When Rody told about Lime's fear of heights and his inability to "levitate", it immediately aroused laughter from all around, and the atmosphere became lively. But Merlinsera didn't seem to think it was enough, she grabbed Roddy's arm naturally, and stepped forward: "Okay, okay, you have to find me a comfortable room. Elson was blown away back then. It's so powerful, you have to let me see it!"

"Hey, I dare not deceive you."

"By the way, I'm going to go to Lashman with Master Houdini to learn more, don't be envious~"

"Really? Then you have to bring me some souvenirs back..."

Roddy scratched his head and giggled while being dragged away by Melinsera. This scene seemed normal to Houdini and others—if it wasn’t for an old friend with a strong relationship, how could the always indifferent Melinsera smile so brightly? Woolen cloth?

As a result, these Laximan mages relaxed, talked and laughed, followed Rody, and slowly entered Elson City.

Rody and Melinsella in front were still chatting, but Akasha, who was following in the team, pursed her lips with concern, and her eyes frequently fell on the dragon's back. As a person who knows the details of this dragon family, Akasha can't help but feel chilly in her heart——

I've only been in the human world for a few months...

Akasha was very preoccupied, and Camilla on the other side was also not at ease. She smiled and introduced the buildings on both sides to Houdini and others, while quietly observing Merlinsera who was dragging Roddy away. , I don't know what to plan in my heart.

The lodging room arranged for the mission was on the edge of the inner city, and it didn't take much time to walk all the way. , Rody briefly talked to Houdini in the living room, and then signaled for him to have lunch first, and in the afternoon he would show them around the buildings in the city.

Houdini naturally agreed to this, and happily led the people away.

He walks faintly with a little eagerness, obviously he has drawn some conclusions from the observation just now, and he is full of expectations for the next visit. But the mage obviously didn't know - he left, and Luo Di and Mai Lin Chula, who were talking and laughing behind him, fell silent instantly, making the huge living room a bit colder.

Luo Di rubbed his cheeks stiffened with a smile. His cooperation all the way seemed relaxed, but in fact his whole body was tense. While trying to think about why she behaved like this, he had to maintain a smiling face without showing any flaws. Only when there were no other people around, did he hesitate to say, "Uh... that—isn't it hurt?"

The two are indeed friends who trust each other, but if they haven't seen each other for too long, there will be some differences after all. Merlinsera exhaled, the brisk and excited tone before was a little low, but she didn't feel cramped at all, she leaned back lazily, lay on the soft high elf-style wooden floor, and turned back Rody rolled his eyes and said, "How could it be okay, I almost thought you were going to kill me to silence me."

"Uh... I'm so sorry, I—"

"Okay, okay, can't you hear that I'm joking? Or do people in Everta lack a sense of humor?"

Hearing what she said, the emotion that had been hanging in Rody's heart finally disappeared, and his straight back relaxed: "I also felt a little sudden, I didn't expect you to bring envoy Laximan with you in this capacity. Get up. I can also hear the meaning of Ambassador Houdini's words. Anyway, thank you—”

"Tsk tsk, don't you treat everyone like this businesslike?"

Merlinsera turned her face to look at Rody, and that gaze directly interrupted his words.

She held her cheek gracefully with her right hand, and because of the robe she was wearing, her perfectly proportioned curves were naturally highlighted. This scene naturally feasted Rody's eyes, but this kind of beauty gave people more admiration, because she was like a woman in a temple. As impeccable as his sculptures, it is impossible to live without the desire of profanity.

"I just wanted to come to Elson to have a look, and people like Laximan happened to find an excuse. It's not as complicated as you think."

Rody knew that some words should be left to the end, so he responded, "It seems that I am overthinking, but in the final analysis, this city will always welcome you."

"That's about the same."

Merlinsera nodded in satisfaction: "Speaking of which, I just saw the magic circle at the door..."

At this time, the conversation was no longer as unfamiliar as before, and Melinsella's tone became lighter again. While asking about Luo Di's recent situation, she jumped down and looked at the wood she was lying on, and then wandered around in the living room, not consciously as a guest, but as casual as a host.

When Rody talked about herself, she talked about her experience at the Magic Academy, talking more than the two combined before. Then, seemingly inadvertently, her gaze stayed on Rody's chest, and Rody, who seemed to be aware of it, reached out and took out the purple dragon crystal, shaking it, and said with a smile: "Is it time for Missing to fly?"

"There is more to be gained than to be lost."

Merlinsera replied with a hint, and changed the subject with a smile.

In fact, Luo Di has always had a question in his heart: Ever since he met Melinthra, she has always acted as if no one was allowed in, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized... This is not a drastic change in Merinthra's personality. , but the "nature" she showed after getting rid of the heavy pressure and burden.

However, he was only half right, because Roddy didn't know about her equally indifferent behavior at the Royal Academy of Magic.

Merlinsera asked left and right, and was taken aback by Rody's answer when talking about the amazing blow of the floating tower: "You said that the previous blow was not the most powerful defense method?"

She turned her head to look at the black shadow of the floating tower outside the window, and said thoughtfully: "Could it be possible to resist the attack of the dragon clan here?"

Rody shrugged: "I don't know how to defend against the dragon clan. If you run up to me and attack me suddenly like you, then I really can't stop it..."

"What? Want to try?" Merlinser raised her chin.

"Don't dare... But if you really run into trouble, my place is definitely more reliable than anywhere else."

Luo Di's words naturally contained something, Melinsera's eyes drooped after hearing this, and she felt extremely warm in her heart - a feeling she would never experience in other places...

However, she cleverly concealed her emotional fluctuations, and instead smiled and replied: "I have to admit, now I'm as curious as Houdini."

"I won't let you down." Rody stood up and replied, with an indescribable confidence in the smile on his face. "It seems Houdini can't wait any longer, let's go, I'll show you something new."

"I know the goods, don't fool me with ordinary things."

She was very familiar with Rody and walked out of the living room side by side. When standing on the street, she realized that there was a huge black shadow in front of her——

"This is…"

"Everyone has had a hard journey in the morning, so let's change the way of visiting in the afternoon." Rody stepped up to the "rail transport ship" with elegant curves, and said to the mages who had finished their meal in a hurry: "Everyone, please board one by one. Ship, if you have any questions, you can ask me anytime.”

Looking at the goose-like mages in front of him, Rody inexplicably thought of those tour guides who waved flags... Of course, this group of mages was not completely at a loss, but when they boarded the "something" that had been modified with leather seats Rail transport ship", when looking at the receding scenery around, the exclamation never stopped——

"This... Lashman also had a similar idea, but - the orbit... why didn't we think of the orbit!"

"Overlapping energy refraction circles? My God...how did this work?!"

"The layout of the building fits the legal array!"

Without Rody's words, these mages can naturally analyze the inner key from the surface phenomenon, but Rody obviously wants to show more than that. Stopping and visiting in a limited area, these mages had already given up their last bit of reserve, their gazes were so fanatical that they couldn't move their feet, and even Rody called them several times before letting them leave the laboratory of the research institute...

Houdini couldn't say a word to remind his subordinates like this - because he behaved no differently from these apprentices at certain moments.

"The next thing we are going to enter is the 'Arsenal', um... here is a bit different from the 'Blacksmith' you know, please forgive me for bypassing a few buildings in order to keep some recipes secret, but I think you should be familiar with the next step Interested in everything…”

Clenching his hands under the robe, Houdini tried hard to remind himself to remain calm, but Rodney's seemingly casual introduction and explanation seemed to have the magical power of a forbidden spell—and the jingling assembly line of the arsenal When he appeared in front of him, he finally couldn't control his emotions, and stood up with a face full of astonishment...

In the field of vision, pieces of metal are undergoing a variety of melting, stamping, hammering, dipping, and cooling procedures on the assembly line-when it comes to rapid prototyping, you can even see those huge machines directly engraving the magic circle On top of the metal, the scenario of mass-manufacturing "enchanted weapons"!

The mages who were still in amazement were completely silent at this moment, they had already held their breath in shock at the scene before them, because anyone with a brain understands what such an ability means...

So when the eyes once again focused on Rody in the plain robe, no one would regard him as a "little country lord".

At this moment, they only feel that they are bumpkins from the "country".
