Chapter 847: Demigod Subordinate
Sally and Akasha didn't ask any more questions, but instead discussed Houdini's skills. Behind them was another, smaller, understated carriage. The people inside were quite young, and at the same time they were all discussing something enthusiastically. The team moved quickly down the road, and after an hour of walking, the Hellchino Tower appeared on the side of the road.
In fact, before Roddy and Kardashian returned, a servant from Elson and the Duke's Mansion of Hollier City was housed in the magic tower. Nominally, it is to take care of the daily life of Akasha and Sally, who are waiting here, but in fact it is also a statement to Edith: the two parties are bound by contract and are closely connected strategic partners.
Therefore, when the team arrived in front of the magic tower on the side of the road, the servants in the magic tower had already prepared a carpet to welcome them, and decorated them in front of the gate - there were no flowers in the cold season, but Edith used the elements to condense a large cluster of gorgeous flowers, which was really pleasing to the eye at a glance.
Naturally, this is not just for the sake of good looks, and the letter sent by Roddy at noon put forward a signal of "hope to deepen cooperation". For Edith, Roddy not only holds the secrets of the gods, but also determines whether she has a chance to recover her "physical body", so she is naturally happy to cooperate with such small things.
Sodrore led the troops in a lineup, and the soldiers quickly stood on both sides of the carpet like machines, and in this formation, Roddy took Kardashian and the others from the carriage, and then walked to the gate of the magic tower in order.
The phantom of Edith stood in front of the gate, her robe had changed into a gorgeous and formal style, her long hair was pulled up in a bun, and her body that was usually a little illusory was unusually solid, but unlike yesterday, the image of Edith who appeared here today has changed slightly - her ears, nose and long hair are no different from those of a human, and there is no trace of any "high elf" characteristics, if it were not known in advance, everyone would think that there is a human magister standing here.
Obviously there was no one around, but Luo Di insisted on making the atmosphere of the scene extremely grand. And when he led everyone to the magic tower, Kardashian began to constantly "shoot" with "ice mirrors" - obviously, all of this was specially prepared for "newspapers".
The members of the other carriage also hurriedly followed at the moment, they were members of the editorial team of "Karen Era" who went out to interview and edit, and while Kardashian was "taking pictures", these people were already busy with a clear division of labor. Some began to write with pen and paper they had with them, while others ran to Kardashian's side with several rolls of special paper, and the latter waved directly at the unfolded paper after the release of the "Ice Mirror" and printed the "Mirror" on it.
This method was used once when Lord Victor gave a lecture, and now it is more proficient in cooperating.
"I'm really sorry, but in order to have more influence in the human world, I can only achieve my goal in this way. β
Upon arriving in Edith, Roddy saluted the Grand Arcanist with a respectful expression. The latter smiled back with a high elf courtesy: "Compared to your help to me, it's all a gesture." β
If you have more words, you will naturally have to enter the magic tower, and at this time it is time to pose for photos. Edith watched curiously as Kardashian kept adjusting the angle, taking a dozen or so mirror photos and almost running out of paper brought by the editorial team. On the huge paper, Edith saw a group photo of everyone in front of the magic tower, because it was properly decorated, and people who didn't know would never think that the location of the magic tower was actually not in front of the village or behind the store.
The press release had been written, Roddy took it, and after a few words, he let the Age of Cullen press team get into the wagon and leaveβthey needed to get the message to the newspaper as soon as possible, after all, Basta's words about Lord Victor always made Roddy feel urgent, and he had to strike while the iron was hot.
"These formalities are trouble, but now it's done, Lord Edith, please. β
Listening to Roddy's words, Edith smiled and asked curiously, "This is what you call a 'propaganda tool'? β
"To tell those who covet Ivor Tower that we now have a second Magus and a second Tower of Magic as partners. β
Roddy doesn't hide anything from this, after all, Edith's future and Elson City are bound together, and the difference is only a degree. He did this, naturally, to consolidate Elson's position in the wizarding world after the "Magic Exchange", and also to show Elson's strength.
Although the magic exchange brought many apprentices and low-level mages who were willing to stay here, the only high-end power that really belonged to him was the Magister Houdini. Now that there are more Kardashians and Edith, of course, it is necessary to promote and deter them.
"I don't know how the conflict between the different nations of the High Elves is dealt with, in the human kingdom, the guy with a bigger stick in his hand is qualified to talk about peace. β
"It's actually a universal law, I think... It will be like this for many years. β
Edith said as she returned to her original form as a high elf, and at the same time, her body became a more ethereal state.
She walked side by side with Roddy and Akasha, explaining, "It takes a lot more hedron energy to maintain that state, so for me, I guess I can save a little bit." β
It's not the era of the High Elves anymore, and the only one in the entire continent that can produce "Charged Crystals" is Elson City, and even if she is a Grand Arcanist, she can't build a production line by herself. Therefore, on the "energy" side alone, she is unilaterally controlled by Roddy.
"Charged hedrons have always been a strategic material for Elson City, and in order to allow His Excellency the Grand Arcanist to maintain the operation of the Magic Tower, we will naturally provide you with a sufficient number of hedrons, but the number of hedrons will probably depend on the depth and breadth of cooperation between the two sides. β
Roddy's words have set the tone for the content of today's negotiations. The negotiating table is not a place of friendship, but a transaction based on the principle of exchange. His meaning is obvious, that is, with the "charging spar" as the main condition, to bind the other party and himself to the greatest extent.
Edith wasn't surprised, or she was prepared for it. Therefore, after everyone sat in the conference hall on the fifth floor, all the topics and proposals were carried out and adopted very smoothly.
In fact, the main process of the meeting was the communication process between Roddy and Edith. Sally occasionally added during this period, but the duke was clearly an "assistant", and all ideas were in Roddy's hands. Akasha next to her didn't speak the whole time, but Kardashian didn't have the nonchalant appearance she had before - the stronger the person, the more she could understand what the "Great Arcanist" could bring. Although the other party has no body and his strength has been greatly reduced, he still has the vision of a "demigod", and this alone is enough for her to get along with the other party.
Negotiating with a demigod is anything but easy, but Roddy, who has experienced the power of the gods, is calm, and the two sides have actually had a series of smooth cooperation, so the negotiation process is extremely smooth. In an hour, the general content of the cooperation was decided. One of the things that surprised Roddy the most was that Edith simply gave up her previous "ally" status and chose to merge directly into Evta's mage sequence and become a real "subordinate".
Roddy gave the demigod enough respect and never expected to be so richly rewarded. The difference between "allies" and "subordinates" is a huge difference, which means that Elson City actually has a "demigod" in charge... Even if it's just a soul.
And the conditions given by Elson are also what Edith has been looking forward to: not to mention the sufficient amount of charged hedrons, Roddy has also signed an agreement to assist Edith to restore her body within the scope of the conditions - this is what Akasha needs to be responsible for docking.
These agreements are just basics. There will be more discussion in the future when it comes to military, expansion, gods, etc. What is certain, however, is that in the future, the demigod will take her Helsinki Tower to the city of Hollier, and personally serve as the headmaster of the magic academy she runs there.
At this point, the two most powerful magic towers of Aifuta can each protect two important cities, and at the same time, with the help of the magic circle, the two magic towers can communicate with holograms at any time. This is of unusual significance for future development.
Of course, seeing Roddy's influence every day in Hollier City is the happiest thing for Duke Sally.
Edith was more pleased with the outcome than she had on her face, so there was no see-saw between the two sides from start to finish. She knew very well that as a great arcanist with no body and only control of the magic tower, the best choice for the "charged spar" that only Elson's family could supply, was actually "complete attachment".
In fact, Roddy and the others didn't realize that for Edith, Roddy, who gave her a second chance to survive, was much more reliable than those compatriots in the memory of this high elf.
In the end, Roddy is still a person who has been trained in the values of modern society. If you put it in the high elf period, a guy like Edith, who has no knowledge but no actual power, will most likely end up being caught by other arcanists and then refining into an arcane puppet. This is definitely more terrible than "death" for Edith.
So when Roddy negotiated her as an equal individual, Edith felt the disparity.
"After talking about it for so long, I think you must be hungry, right?"
The Grand Arcanist breathed a sigh of relief after signing more than a dozen agreements of sorts, and that was basically all there was to the agreements that were put into writing. There are many more things that cannot be expressed in writing, so save it for tomorrow to be discussed. The dinner was made by the servants in the magic tower, and the ingredients had already been prepared, although it was not a sumptuous meal, but everyone ate well when the meeting went well.
