Chapter 806 Suspicion of the Demigod (2 in 1)
Kardashian's long locks are smooth, so Roddy was quick to straighten hers out. ???Yi Reading???·???·However, he soon realized that this Dragon Clan probably hadn't washed his hair very much. At this time, his hair was not dry, and it was even dripping, so he said: "I'll come Dry it and blow it for you, or it will be bad for your hair when you sleep."
There is no concept of "hair is good or not" in the dragon family, but Kardashian enjoys the feeling of being served by Roddy. She pretends to be free and easy and says no, until Roddy mentions it a few times before she looks "I really take you There is no way" the expression agreed. In order to take care of the cripple, she brought towels and a hair dryer under Rody's reminder, and naturally leaned back in the chair, with her back to him and relaxed.
The gray-white hair feels like satin in the hand, and there is no split end after blow-drying. Luo Di is very serious about his work, blowing his hair is just blowing his hair, and those unrealistic thoughts in his mind have disappeared. When the noise of the hair dryer stopped, Roddy began to think seriously about how to "leave the prison of time and space".
"Sister, that... we have been in this 'time-space prison' for two days, look"
But before he could finish speaking, Kardashian got up suddenly and said: "It's really more comfortable to have hair like this. My head hurts from the fight today. I want to take a rest early. Let's talk about it tomorrow if we have anything to do!"
The eldest lady didn't care what Rody's expression was, she went straight back to the bedroom, closed the door with a "click", leaving Rody standing and sitting there with a face full of question marks...
Is she really too sleepy? Or misunderstood something?
Roddy scratched his head, but still couldn't figure it out. I wanted to go to bed and lie down, but found that no one was helping me. It was terrible. I worked hard for a long time to find a mop that mopped the floor, and used it as a crutch to support myself back to the room. , but soon fell asleep.
Of course he didn't know that Kardashian, known as "Headache", was staring at the ceiling next door, and said in a low voice, feeling lost: "Why do you want to go out... Isn't this good?"
*****
Three days passed, and Edith in the "core room" did not wait for Rody who "escaped from prison". This makes a group of people who come to inquire every day feel lost.
Edith could understand their feelings, but she didn't have much hope for it. The punishment of the third "Prison of Time and Space" was so severe that, as the setter of the magic circle, she was unwilling to realize that the magic circle of the "Prison of Time and Space" was actually a "super-order magic circle" that transcended time and space, and its stability was questionable. , it was also a controversial existence at the beginning...
Because its creation surpassed the rules originally recognized by the high elves, and it was as uncontrollable as "nuclear fission".
Therefore, the "rescue plan" is also an adventure on thin ice for Edith, who has superb theoretical knowledge.
The preparation of the magic circle is time-consuming, because this kind of complex space-time magic circle requires constant correction and debugging, and the energy consumed is also astronomical. Even if Elson City survives the energy crisis, it can't afford much Wealthy spar comes. It's only enough for Edith to activate it twice. If the two searches fail, then it can only be resigned to fate.
"Without a body, it's really troublesome..."
The Grand Arcanist sometimes sighs helplessly. ??Reading books?·??·Edith, who used to have the power of a "half-god", looked at the reflection of the crystal wall, dazed for a moment, and waved her hand to change the content on the crystal wall to the scene outside the tower.
At this time, the magic tower has shifted its position. In order to prevent the other Frost Dragons from discovering the "Herchino Magic Tower", Edith had to move the magic tower to a forest five kilometers outside the city. Many lords, if they don't use special spells to find them, they can't detect their existence.
However, the powerful mobility and hiding ability of "Herchino Magic Tower" and Edith's own strength are too amazing. Even if Camilla chooses to believe her, the "cabinet" is not willing to easily charge the astonishing value. The energy spar was handed over to a person with "unknown origin", "holding a heavy weapon" and "different camps".
In other words, the "Efta" forces don't fully trust Edith.
However, the solution is simple. The guardian Camilla signed a magic contract with Edith on behalf of the city lord Rody, which stipulated the usage of the charged spar and Edith's responsibilities in this plan. and other details.
This kind of contract is impolite, but in fact it clearly states "I don't trust you". Camilla herself resists this contract, but the "cabinet" firmly believes that this contract is necessary.
And who is behind the "cabinet"? In fact, everyone knew it was Duke Sally.
Personally speaking, Sally has a good impression of Edith. After several conversations, the great arcanist's erudition and wisdom even made her feel unattainable. For such a character, the probability of "treachery" negligible.
But individuals are individuals, and business is business. After becoming the duke, Sally realized this more and more, so despite the dissuasion of Camilla and Akasha, she directly placed the contract in front of Edith in the name of the "cabinet". Edith, who has great wisdom, didn't need Camilla's words to explain at all, and signed the agreement happily.
What prompted her to sign this contract was not only her own promise-worthy character, but also more complicated factors in various aspects.
For example, she knows that her current state is just a "castle in the air". Without a physical body, she can't do anything without the magic tower. As a "foreign race" who has "transmigrated" from the age of the high elves to the present, she is also confused that her greatest enemy, the "ancient sea beast", has been wiped out by Rody, and the reason that supported the existence of the soul for seven hundred years has disappeared. What should she do now? ?
Resurrect the body?
Revenge on the devil?
Study more complex planes?
Edith has considered these three ideas, and obviously... these three purposes are all related to Roddy, who is a "witch hunter". These days, she has also heard everything about Roddy from those three women. , and the deeper the understanding, the greater the doubts in her heart.
"An ordinary scout, did he get to this point in a few years?"
Looking at the city of Elson in the crystal mural, she was quite puzzled.
This city was built by Khadgar, and with the foundation of this great arcanist, even if a pig controls the city now, it can easily surpass those simple cities of current human civilization in all aspects.
However, when she noticed the "excess" things in Elson City, she found that things were not as simple as she imagined. It was beyond her imagination.
Smooth "roads" also existed in the High Elf period, but they were only "convenient passages" that could only be used by carriages of the ruling class, and were not used by "civilians" at all. Although the high elf civilization is much more advanced than today's humans, the lives of most low-level civilians may not be comparable to those in Elson City.
The "train" is actually a variant of the transport ship. It can be seen from the scope of its application that the "transport ship" that only lays tracks in the city was only used for military purposes at the beginning, and it has nothing to do with civilians.
As for the "aircraft", it is completely unheard of. After the floating tower was created, as a killer weapon in the hands of the "high-level arcanist", its main purpose is agricultural irrigation and warfare, but no one thought of creating an aircraft that can get rid of the magic circle …After all, "high-level arcanists" themselves have the ability to fly, and if they want to fly, they just have to work hard to get promoted.
But in Elson, all three seem to be for the "regular guy."
This difference does not sound like a big difference, but Edith knows that for a civilization, it means two completely different results.
No one in the current world knows that Edith's life experience should be regarded as a standard "civilian counterattack" model. The resounding existence like Khadgar is all backed by a big family that has been in business for hundreds of years. After all, the cultivation of "arcanist" is basically piled up by money, and "hard work" alone is of no use because it is very likely that the results of your hard work for most of your life, for some people, they have it at birth.
Class solidification is an unchanging characteristic of every civilization. If the ruling class is likened to a castle, then the only thing the guys in the castle want to do is to consolidate their position and hold the right to issue "tickets" to the city to prevent more people from sharing their interests.
When Edith was born, she could only be regarded as a little village girl born outside the castle, but there are many shortcuts to enter the castle, and "beauty" is one of them. She was able to enter the circle of the "castle" because of her shocking appearance, and traveled among various forces with her extraordinary intelligence. There are indeed many high elf nobles who want to take her as their own, but before they can win or lose, Edith has already become a "high-level arcanist" by virtue of her hard work and talent.
This concept is like the ancient literati's examination of "Jinshi", which can basically be called Yuyuelongmen, stepping calmly into the "castle". The stunning face that always caused trouble has also become a talisman... because she was lucky to be accepted by the High Elf royal family, became a high-level arcanist sponsored by the royal family, and successfully passed the "Great Arcane Art" within thirty years. division" threshold and become one of the pillars of the kingdom.
This kind of legendary experience has become a thing of the past for Edith. What she gained from it is not only power, but also a comprehensive overview of "high elf civilization": After being a "half god", her understanding of this race has been elevated to another level.
So these novelties in Elson City at the moment are mostly "whimsical attempts by the city lord" in the eyes of others, but Edith saw a kind of "civilization fault" from it. There is one innovation, which can be attributed to the idea of a genius. , but if a person creates a large number of extremely feasible and mature ideas in a short period of time, it definitely means abnormal.
Others may have had this idea, but firstly, they didn't have enough vision, and secondly, they couldn't make accurate predictions about the consequences of Roddy's actions, so they finally let it go.
However, Edith's gaze was enough to penetrate the fog, pointing directly at the essence of the problem: a frontier scout who could only eat and wait to die before lived like a waste, but in the past three years has flourished. It is not without precedent, but if he not only changed the destiny of the country, but also accelerated the development of human civilization with his personal efforts...
That itself became suspicious.
"who are you?"
Edith's gaze stayed on the "Ball of Imprisonment" that Roddy had used as a communication medium, and her eyes became deeper.
*****
"drop!"
When the microwave oven sounded, Roddy took out the hot milk, put it under the capsule coffee machine and pressed the button. The lightly roasted coffee had a mellow taste, and the amber fat spread on the surface of the milk, forming a The changing patterns.
This method is naturally different from the coffee shop outside. Rody didn't bother to make any milk froth, so he stirred it with a spoon, added some brown sugar, and came to the dining table with a cup. And Kardashian in front of her looked at herself with her right hand resting on her chin, and said, "No wonder I always felt awkward when I went to the mansion in Elson City. Now that I think about it, it turned out to be the reason why you have too few servants there."
"few?"
While answering the question, Rody turned on the projector casually. The news page of "Cracked Earth" read "How to Deal with the Wood Elves in the Silent Whisper Forest Series (3)". He laughed and found that the wood elf on the cover was the village Long Brody, the illustration below turned out to be "Ranger Mentor" Nata, and it felt like a world away.
"After all, you are also the great lord of the wealthy side. When other people reach your status and wealth, they wish to be carried by servants when they walk. Fortunately, you sometimes have to do the cooking by Akasha herself. Only now do I understand , It turns out that you have been living by yourself all the time, and no one takes care of you at all."
This made Rody nod his head helplessly, but before he could say anything else, Kardashian pointed to the writing on the wall and asked, "Isn't the Silent Whispering Forest right next to Houllier City? Where were you back then?" Have experienced many things? Eh? This wood elf looks familiar to me, isn’t this Nata?”
Luo Di felt that she was a bit strange. Didn't she always rush to talk on weekdays?
Looking away from the strategy, he decided to get straight to the point: "Nata is right, and this is also the problem. Sister, I want to discuss with you carefully, how can I get out of this 'time-space prison'?"
After saying this, Kardashian seemed to collapse and muttered a few words. Rody couldn't understand her state at all, and asked, "Uh...did I say something wrong?"
"It's okay, I just don't have a clue about getting out of here."
Kardashian replied insincerely, but felt a little inexplicably lost in her heart. However, such emotions were quickly suppressed by her. Kardashian tried to raise her spirits, and analyzed: "You are entering for the third time, and I am entering for the second time. I don't know how difficult it is to escape from this 'time-space prison'." There are some changes. But judging from your experience when I entered for the first time, if you want to leave here, you should also meet certain conditions."
