Chapter 852: The Giants Meet
Roddy is busy with a lot of things every day, and it is rare to be in a daze. But now he looked at the manuscript in front of him and fixed it like a sculpture, and it was not until there was a knock on the door that he jerked his head up—"Camilla?"
The Guardian who pushed the door open looked hurried, and as soon as he entered, he said, "I just intercepted a few letters!
Luo Di didn't talk nonsense, raised his hand and took the letter handed over by the other party, and his face suddenly became gloomy after his eyes swept over.
The letter was from a humble magic tower in the middle of the kingdom, addressed to a low-level magician in Elson City who had just signed a contract to stay here. The message in the letter was succinct: Elson City was over, the dragons were in full contact with Charles II, and the "Academy of Magic" was about to be established with the Red Dragon Patriarch Quiao as the "headmaster".
The letter also said that if he quit Elson City now, he would still have the opportunity to join Quee's Academy of Magic. It's too late, so I can only wait for the dragon clan to come and fight with the royal army!
Luo Di took the letter paper, pursed his lips, passed for a few seconds, and finally didn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "Caught between the dragon clan struggle, it's really angry at both ends..."
There are many foolish contents in this letter, first of all, the dragons came to fight Elson - if there is really a war, the dragons will not intervene in the war against humans, this is their pride, and Roddy has no doubt about it.
But the establishment of the Academy of Magic doesn't seem like a fabrication, after all, Victor just said that the Red Dragons want to lead an alliance with humans...
Camilla watched Roddy turn her head to look out the window, and couldn't help but say, "The closing ceremony that afternoon..."
"Proceed, the news is currently unconfirmed, and Kardashian is still here, so they may not believe it. ”
Luo Di will definitely not let go of these mage talents who have been gathered with great difficulty, he can't stop the red dragon from supporting Charles II, but the magic contract signed is not so easy to violate, after all, not everyone has the strength and status of Lord Victor.
"Camilla. ”
He turned around and solemnly called out her name, who involuntarily straightened her back - she hadn't seen Roddy look like this since becoming the Guardian.
"What do you want me to do?"
"After the exchange meeting, the news channel was completely blocked. At the same time, let the mages who signed the contract and left behind be sealed in the magic tower. ”
Roddy closed his eyes and took a deep breath and continued, "I know it's difficult to completely block the channels of communication between the mages, but... I don't want them to know for the rest of their lives, as long as we can hold on until the war starts, we will be considered successful. ”
"It must be done. ”
Camila clenched her fists slightly, and then said with some concern: "Then now-"
"It's business as usual, follow me to the closing ceremony. ”
Roddy strode towards the door, and even though Elson City was facing an unprecedented crisis at this time, his calm made Camilla's worry gradually disappear.
Just follow him.
Camilla thought so and followed.
When the closing ceremony of the "exchange meeting" in Elson City was held as scheduled, a grand "Magic Tower Inauguration" ceremony was being held in the imperial city in the southeast of the Karen Kingdom.
The winter of 590 was not easy for the Cullen royal family. The orc ravages brought a wave of refugees, and this winter, the periphery of the Imperial City was full of hunger... Even in the rich Imperial City, wanderers dying on the side of the road due to hunger and cold can be seen in the coldest January, which is a rare occurrence since the founding of the Karen Kingdom.
"Famines" tend to occur in the barren north-west, and are often triggered by natural disasters. And because of the stable climatic conditions in the rich south, even if the year is bad for so many years, no one will starve to death in the imperial city. However, the orc's blow was too great to be unprecedented—if Emperor Conn was still alive, he would probably be by this fragile line of defense.
There was nothing the royal family could do about it, and there were few remedies, and when Charles II saw the news of Elson's prosperity through "The Age of Karen", his hair was half gray in the prime of life.
But productivity was backward in those days, and there was not much Charles II could do other than sit at the stove and wait for the next year's harvest to be better. He didn't know what to do with the growing Ivta.
Spring came, farmers began a new round of farming, and the "three-garden system" implemented by Count Duverdon began to be popularized, but the predictable yield was far less than the "Age of Cullen" record for the yield per mu of the farmland near Elson City..."The Age of Cullen" was full of good news, and the news of the super powerful Great Magister joining Ivota made Charles II's original optimistic attitude have long disappeared, and he can only use "the newspapers are all lies" to comfort himself, but this monarch also knows that if this continues, the master of the Karen Kingdom will be changed.
And at this critical juncture, a visitor who he had never imagined in his life came to the door.
Quio, the patriarch of the Red Dragon, personally visited the royal family of the Karen Kingdom.
When he saw Quiao in a fiery red robe and dragon horns on his head, he even thought he was dreaming for a while - but Queo politely expressed his intention: in order to face a common enemy, the dragons are willing to ally with humans, and hope that the Karen Kingdom will become the first ally and set an example for other countries on the continent.
What else could Charles II say? He only remembered that he almost burst into tears - even the most politically dull person knew that the opportunity for the rise of the royal family had come!
After reaching a tentative agreement, Quiao leaves, leaving a young Red Dragons to discuss cooperation with him. Charles II, of course, couldn't ask for this. As long as it's not an excessive request, it's all convenient... But he soon discovered that these dragons had no intention of interfering in the high-level affairs of the Karen Kingdom, and the cooperation between the two sides was limited to the training of magicians, and the only politically related thing was to retain the position of "Dragon Advisor".
The advisor's job is to maintain a dialogue between humans and dragons, and their daily lives are essentially the same as those of the invisible.
It doesn't sound like it has any effect, but out of thin air the influence brought by the Red Dragon Clan, and you can also have more powerful magic resources, what you have paid... It is to unify the Karen Kingdom as soon as possible according to the other party's request - this kind of good thing is spread on himself, and he really wakes up with a smile in his dreams!
Charles II literally fell asleep laughing these days. At noon, when he came to the white square in the center of the inner city under the protection of the honor guard, he found that the scene in front of him was more "surprising" than he imagined...
In addition to Lord Queo, who was dressed in a red robe, there were four other figures standing in the center of the square. The light blue robed Ice Dragon Lord Victor, the dark green short-robed Green Dragon Lord Morals, the thin old man Crystal Dragon Krups, and the unruly black dragon Pukatos gathered together - it is estimated that they themselves did not expect that the dragon lords, who were difficult to gather in the past, would actually come to a meeting in the imperial capital of the human race!
When Charles II knew the identities of these people in front of him through the trembling royal magister, he felt a little cramp in his legs and stomach, and his eyes involuntarily moistened—Emperor Conn! Have you ever thought that all dragons would be willing to pay so much attention to your descendants?
"Your Majesty, this is almost all the dragon lords, and the only one who is absent is the Shadow Dragon Clan. ”
The Magister didn't know what had happened to the Shadow Dragons, so he reminded Charles II that he wouldn't care about it. In his opinion, it was a great honor for the dragon clan to come to one, let alone five lords?
The excited monarch hurriedly stepped forward to greet them one by one. However, the faces of these lords are not good-looking, after all, they are all here because of Quio, among which the ice dragon Victor and the black dragon Pukatos Lord are the most unconvinced... Except for Quio, the two of them most wanted to be the "leader" among the dragons, and now they have fallen into a disadvantage, and their mood is naturally bad.
"We are gathered here today so that we can support the glorious unification of the Karen Kingdom. In the face of a common enemy, I hope you will remember this - when disaster strikes, whether it is dragons or humans, we will all be on the same side..."
Quieo's high-sounding words were ridiculous in the ears of the other lords, but Charles II was so excited that he even performed a solemn oath ceremony on the spot to show respect for the "allies" of the dragon family.
These days are even less, because during the day sometimes I have to go to the hospital to get some documents, take insurance or something.
