Chapter 736: Dreams
"I didn't expect Elson's influence to be so great, thank you for traveling thousands of miles to participate in this exchange meeting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Cauchy was born in an aristocratic family, and he was very good at talking about receiving people and things. Kardashian was in a good mood when she heard this, and asked casually, "This exchange will last for a long time, right?"
"The meeting is currently chaired by Lord Guardian. The lord of the castle has been absent from the castle recently, but he will return soon. β
Kardashian wasn't surprised by this, as Alva had reported that Roddy had killed the behemoth in Rassiman and presumably couldn't get back anytime soon. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she decided to participate in the "exchange meeting" in her current capacity, as long as Roddy didn't recognize herself, she would definitely not take the initiative to stand up...
Idle is idle anyway, Kardashian has a lot of fun, and she just wants to scare Roddy when the time comes.
"Alright, Kardashian, your registration is complete. If you don't have housing, I can arrange for someone to take you there. Your stay in Elsen City and the food and beverages on site are free of charge, so don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. β
"Sounds good. β
Dragons are different from humans, because they are scarce in number, and there is no such thing as "service" when they are in the territory. Everyone is self-reliant, and no one will serve you food. So when Cauchy Knight said this "clichΓ©" after training, Kardashian felt refreshed... As she had said to her brother Alva, it was always nice to be around a human like Roddy, no matter what to do.
You don't even need to report your identity, you can enjoy free food and accommodation in Roddy's city, and Kardashian really thinks this guy is getting more and more interesting.
The hotel that Roddy has prepared for the "exchange meeting" is much more magnificent than Raciman. Kardashian's high-elf-style suites amazed her, and the feeling of being able to reach out and touch history was wonderful, and even though it was late at night, Kardashian couldn't sit idle, just walking around the hotel non-stop.
She was in a good mood, but in the suite at the end of the corridor, the two magisters from the royal family looked a little bitter...
"What should I do? I can't handle this thing now..."
Magister Blanche looked down at the circle in front of him, her two white eyebrows almost together. In front of him, there were three magic circles that were originally used to show the strength of the royal family. And these cutting-edge research results are really not worth mentioning before the "magic technology showcase" in Elson City.
Because one of the three circles involved the study of the "levitation" problem, what these two magisters were able to do was to make objects within five kilograms float above the circle for a maximum of thirty seconds.
What about Elson? The central floating tower was suspended at a position of more than 400 meters, and it had never come down at all.
The original routine of the two Magisters was to undermine the prestige of Elson City by striking and taunting, but now they use it in this way, it is a joke.
"No way, the soft ones won't work, and the next thing can only come to the hard ones..."
Tucker Magister spun his staff beside him, but suddenly changed his "code language" to talk - he obviously realized that he couldn't reveal his intentions in this city, and even if there was no one around and the soundproof circle was released, he still whispered cautiously: "Figure out the next schedule, and make an accident when there are many people." The bigger the fuss, the better..."
"Bigger is better? Blowing up the building? Wouldn't that be too deliberate. β
Blanche also replied in code, but he had a sad face: "And to be honest, the city's defense system is a bit evil, and I find it difficult not to leave a trace." β
"Destroying buildings is one direction, but our purpose is not to make everyone see jokes, but to make them afraid!"
"Even if there will be traces, you just need to delay the time for the other party to find the traces. Tucker's gaze became grim, "So this kind of 'accident' must cause human life, and it must be the mage who dies - let all eyes be turned to the victim, and let the remaining mages be at their own risk! β
The two Magisters didn't come alone, their apprentices were knives in their hands, and it wasn't difficult to cause an accident in the city, so they had such an idea.
"But if you kill the mage... Kill whom?"
It's not like Blanche hasn't killed anyone, and to put it bluntly, neither of them is a Magister like Crohn's obsessed research. According to Rasiman, both men were proper "battle mages", which is why they are not well-known in the kingdom of Karen. However, in terms of actual combat ability, they are generally stronger than the other six, after all, these two are the "strategic weapons" of Charles II, and they are one of the wealth inherited by the royal family for so many years.
"Those druids don't care if they die, and wizards aren't a spell system..."
Tucker frowned and thought about it, but he couldn't think of it for a while, so he said, "I'll start looking for suitable candidates tomorrow, and those elemental mages who don't have an organization are the best." β
"No problem. β
Following.
In the early morning, the camping team on the side of the road had just gotten up, the boiling water in the iron pot was heated by the bonfire, and the members of the transport team distributed dried meat and pastries, and after a short time, they each held the hot porridge and drank it.
The temperature in late November was already cold, but due to logistical conditions, the team returning from the port to Elson did not look tired at all. Even at breakfast, people talk and laugh loudly, and their mental state is obviously good.
Roddy rubbed his eyes and reached out to tuck the corners of the quilt for Akasha next to him - the quilt made of giant beaver skin was unusually warm, and the little priest wanted to get up in a daze, but was pressed back by Roddy: "It's still early, if you're sleepy, go back to sleep." I'm going to see breakfast. β
"Hmm. β
Akasha lay back contented, while Roddy simply put on his coat and leather boots, reached out and felt in his pocket, and took out the white soul hedron inside - along the way, Roddy used various methods to input energy into the soul hedron, but it was clear... There was something wrong with his approach, and there was no response from the Grand Arcanist Edith so far.
The only thing he could confirm was that the consciousness in the hedron was still there, not completely dissipated or annihilated. But this feeling is like facing a "brain-dead" patient, although the person is not dead, but it is no different from death...
He put away the hedron and walked out of the tent, stretching and kicking, moving his body.
"Morning. β
Beside her, Sylvia was cooking porridge, and the elf waved her wand and greeted Roddy as she sliced the jerky into slices. Roddy nodded, picked up the water bag next to her that had been heated by the spell and poured two sips, turned his head to find Houdini coming over, and said with some curiosity: "What's wrong?
"I had a dream that wasn't very comfortable. β
Houdini did not have the smiling appearance of the past, his eyes were a little dark, and his face was full of exhaustion.
Sitting behind a stake next to Roddy, Houdini rubbed his bird's nest-like hair: "The 'Prophecy' spell is different from other spells, it will interfere with my way of thinking for a while after it is released, which will also cause some strange dreams. β
"What did you dream about?"
Luo Di didn't think that the dreams of the "prophecy system" mages were the same as ordinary people, he had heard a lot of "prophecies" in the game at the beginning, so his face suddenly became solemn.
"Pachar's Magic Tower," Houdini stretched out his hand to press his forehead, trying to recall the details, "I saw that the tower was surrounded by something black, and it was uncomfortable..."
"What does this mean?"
Roddy's question made Houdini a little difficult to explain, and he said helplessly: "I'm not sure when this dream shows something, but the form of the manifestation is indeed negative. As for the result, how to solve it, etc., I can't give an answer. Because it's all too abstract. After all, in terms of 'prophetic signs', the black fog represents so much - maybe it's just a high-intensity thundershower. β
Houdini shrugged, trying to lighten the mood. He didn't pay much attention to his "dreams", simply because Rasiman had a lot of these "omens" dreams that were advertised, but in the end they ended up causing jokes - a certain famous "prophecy" mage said that he dreamed that the city would be attacked by the army, and it turned out to be a rainstorm, and this kind of joke appeared more than once or twice.
He picked a few similar deeds and told them, and Sylvia, who was a little nervous next to her, was infected and laughed. But Roddy's face didn't get any better.
This is mainly because his own way of thinking is different from that of the people in front of him: in this magical world, Roddy no longer sees things from the materialistic point of view of his past. Thinking of the buff he received in exchange for his "sacrifice" skill, he developed an indescribable awe of the world more and more.
This awe has become extreme caution for the time being. There's an old saying that "it's better to believe what you have", and although it can sometimes be overdone, Roddy still decided to speed up his return to Elson - he wouldn't take other people's dreams to heart, but Houdini, the dream of the prophetic magister, he would never dare to slack off.
Even if it was really just raining, Roddy admitted it. After all, Elson City is his foundation, and there must be no mistakes.
Roddy asked Houdini a few more words, said hello to Akasha, and rode back with the five dragon lancers alone.
"It's... Isn't that a bit of a fuss?"
Dressed Akasha felt that Roddy had overreacted like this because of a dream that didn't exist, and she really couldn't understand it. Houdini next to him also doesn't know how to explain... Because he himself doesn't think of this dream as "prophecy."
To test his idea, Houdini tried to cast a real "prophetic spell". But the result was clear - the time was not ripe, and the spell showed no signs in the end.
This disappointed the onlookers, and Houdini put away the spell casting props, and smiled himself, not taking this defeat to heart.
