Chapter 763: Duke Sally's Surprise
As far as Kardashian is concerned, in fact, ordinary frost dragons should have a partner long ago at her age, and perhaps children have been born more than once. 1?Chinese Network ===.=8ā¤1=Zā¤ā.ā„Cā¤Oā„M But Kardashian is the daughter of a lord, and she is tasked with marriage, and she has been well protected by her father Victor, so it is not surprising that she idealizes the concept of "love".
To put it bluntly, the spoiled Kardashian has been messing around all these years, eating, drinking and having fun, and she is like a child who doesn't grow up at all, which is why her personality is so straightforward.
She herself is actually curious about what real "love" is, but unfortunately, the growth environment of the dragon clan makes her have no chance to experience it at all.
Akasha didn't know these inside stories, she saw that Kardashian was disgusted, and she was afraid that she would cause trouble for Roddy, so she quickly explained Roddy's relationship in the past few years. As soon as the latter heard so much gossip, he immediately became interested, and he talked about it for almost two hours.
In fact, Akasha doesn't know the whole story between Roddy and Sally, so she can only pick and tell the part of her own experience. But even so, Kardashian's eyes lit up when she heard it: "To tell you, I'm curious about what that Sally looks like... When is she going to Elson?"
"Huh?"
Akasha's mouth was slightly open, obviously unable to understand Kardashian's whimsical thinking. Her appearance made Kardashian laugh, and bluntly said that Roddy and her are a couple, because they can make her laugh non-stop.
Regardless of whether it was a compliment or not, Akasha gladly accepted it. At this time, she felt that Kardashian should not continue to be disgusted with Roddy, so she quickly got up and ran away with "summarizing and processing information", otherwise she felt that she would be left here to gossip for a day...
Kardashian herself is not boring, but her head is full of the thrilling stories told by Akasha, and she has become more interested in Roddy for a while. She thought for a moment and walked towards the Pachar Tower.
Inside the Pachar Magic Tower.
"Not to mention direct probing, even if the Koswodisaurus is still there, I can't lock on to such a target... To put it bluntly, we still know too little about demonic creatures, and although the level of the paper you wrote at the beginning, the city lord, it can only be regarded as a work of bricks and stones. As for the specific form of 'demonization', it will take many years of research to do so. ā
"As for dreams... Lord of the City, I really can't control this. ā
When Houdini said this, his face was a little helpless.
"Well, if there's anything new in your dreams, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. Now, in order to get Camilla out, I have to screen them one by one from possible situations. ā
Luo Di tried to hold back the irritability in his heart, he felt that he was facing a complicated statistical principle problem, but the conditions at hand could not let him trick at all, so he could only adopt the most clumsy "subordinate method" - stupid is stupid, but stupid method is also a way, it is better than no way.
Leaving the lab, Roddy stood on the spiral staircase in the middle of the magic tower and looked down, bustling mages rushing to different venues, where the wealth of "knowledge" was spreading. Luo Di looked at these distracting mages, and his heart was inexplicably envious.
He really felt the helplessness of his low level of magic. In fact, this is also something that can't be helped, compared to the high elf grand arcanist, people in this world can basically be called mentally retarded. However, the lack of strength can be made up for by time and hard work, but there is no one to guide the confusion of feelings.
Roddy does like Camilla. But that kind of "like" is hazy, and more of an "appreciation" - her stubbornness, her own diligence, and extraordinary wisdom are all things that make Roddy admire.
And when Camilla confesses, Roddy has many reasons why she can't refuse, the most important of which is also the most unspeakable, because she always has the shadow of the Red Witch in Roddy's memory.
This overlap of memories sometimes even suffocates him. Because he never wanted a substitute for whom, time and space are different, and the trajectory of history has shifted dramatically, theoretically... At present, everyone has embarked on a different path in their memories and has become a different person from their memory.
Since his rebirth, Roddy has done his best to seize all opportunities in terms of personal strength, allowing himself to become a hegemon from a scout. All this is a miracle, but emotionally, he is like a sports car drifting out of control, drawing a trajectory that is completely uncontrollable.
He thought that he had chosen Akasha on his own initiative, and the problem would be solved. But in the face of Sally, he couldn't say cruel words to completely cut off all the good things that had been.
Until now, he is still confused, but fortunately there is no regret in this emotion.
Seeing the busy figures of the mages in front of him, Luo Di knew that his simple cranky thinking did not make much sense, so he got up and walked to the research department - he was a "doer", and this world was still a long way from "peace", so at any time, Luo Di did not dare to stop his steps.
The warmth of the sun in Elson is due to the fact that the entire city is protected by a "thermostatic barrier". In the northern part of Ivota, two consecutive snowstorms have brought the temperature to freezing, and from the city of Hollier all the way south, even walking on the main road, it is rare to see crowds or caravans in action.
Winter is still the season for most humans to grit their teeth and get through.
Compared to the eastern part of the kingdom, where a large number of people starved and froze to death, the harvest of the territory of Evta should be regarded as the best year for the people in years. Although this is only the first year of land reclamation, no one would have thought that the land cultivated by Elson would have two or three times the yield of other areas, and the high food prices in the past winter have been reduced a lot, anyway, as a duke, Sally has not worried about food at all this year.
If you have the heart to count, the case fatality rate of the population in the territory of Ivota is also decreasing rapidly. As a duke, although Sally delegated all her power to the "cabinet", she really grasped the direction of the "Rosicrucifix".
A religion without ambition is not a good religion, and if the "Rosicrucian" continues to unfold, it will actually slowly embark on the road of "theocracy." However, Roddy reshaped the management, allowing the behemoth hidden beneath the surface of the water to change the direction of its exhibition - the "monasteries" in the territory have opened new functions, and in the eyes of the common people, it is no longer a single place of prayer and ashram, but more of a figurative name: "hospital".
In winter, common colds and flu can kill people. However, with the advent of "hospitals", the survival rate of the population has increased dramatically due to the low and even free divine assistance methods, the most obvious of which is in the "infant mortality rate": in the entire Karen Kingdom, the mortality rate of children before the age of 3 can even reach 3o% in the highest years. Even in the better years of peacetime, it is above 15%. However, with the intervention of Rossia Cross in "midwifery" and "infant diseases", this number has dropped sharply almost immediately - although there is no complete statistical period to compare, it is inevitable that it will be reduced to less than 1%, and progress towards 1 in 1,000 is the current goal.
Duke Sally, who had these statistics in his hand, had to put away the letters temporarily because the carriage was shaking so badly.
As the highest-spec carriage of the Russiflon family, Sally's car was very large, the interior of the carriage was paved with dark red soft leather, and the atmosphere of luxury seemed to be everywhere, the only fly in the ointment was that the bumpy road back and forth made the passengers feel tired forever.
The carriage structure of this era is simple, even if it is the carriage of the Duke's Palace, there has been no shock absorption optimization, and there is a distance of 108,000 miles from the independent suspension and floating shock absorption of the "Fire Crossbow Arrow". The road out of Hollier was fine at first, but the more potholes there were, made Sally so distressed that she even wanted to ride a horse at one point - but the biting cold wind outside the carriage made her honestly shrink back... Riding a horse in this weather, no matter how much you wear, it's useless.
After all, it's winter, the season when everything is dying.
The convoy of the Ducal Palace had been on the road for three days, but only a third of the way had been covered. Because the road surface is muddy and slippery after snowfall, and the sunshine hours are short, it is naturally difficult to increase the fleet with a lot of luggage and a large number of people.
However, just as Sally was holding the "Pit Viper Kiss" in her hand and frowning and enduring the bumps, a slightly noisy cheer suddenly sounded outside. She looked up in confusion, and then felt the carriage jerk upward!
"Crunch!"
The sound of the axle slightly deforming came from below, and the car should have gone up a small slope. Sally quickly reached out and grasped the handrail on the side, and looked out of the round glass window: a tall, strange-looking puppet appeared in the field of vision, which did not look like a war machine, not only with intricate patterns engraved on its body, but also three rows of transparent crystals inserted behind it.
There are a lot of people standing next to this puppet, they are wearing uniform leather coats, and the hem of the robe can be seen below, which looks like a legal professional.
"Why are there five or six mages here?"
Sally muttered a strange word, and then she was surprised that the "crunch" sound that had always existed in her ears disappeared, and the forever shaking body became extremely stable, if it weren't for the constant sound of horses' hooves, Sally would have even thought that the carriage had stopped!
"It's... Road?"
She couldn't wait to put on her ornately patterned cloak and get out of the car to observe, only to realize that the road surface was built by the arcane puppet just now, because the huge figure was continuing the steps of "flattening" and "solidifying" not far away. This is because the main road "Elson-Houllier" is currently being built, and the width of the road is 12 meters. As far as the eye can see, the flat road that stretches all the way south to the end of the field of vision immediately shocked Sally!
