Chapter 509 Special visit
In late April, the country of Karen Kingdom was still calm.
Elson City has maintained a rapid development speed as always, because Camilla's vertical management and efficient execution have even gradually changed the mentality of urban residents.
In any traditional territory in the Karen Kingdom, things often take weeks or even months to resolve from the release of wind to the final action, such as repairing water conservancy, building granaries, or ruling on the conflicts between civilians and nobles in the territory. Many things are even dragged and never mentioned again...
In Elson City, everyone has adapted to the style of "judging no night" and "government without delay", so few people in this city have cheated or confused about business activities - in other words, Elson City has never formed a "underground gang" in the true sense.
After several guys who tried to secretly say that the boss was suspended from the city gate because they broke the rules, no one dared to ignore the laws set by Roddy. Gray businesses such as "casinos", "bredhouses", and "black markets" are now open and serious business places in the city after applying for a "business permit".
There will definitely be controversy. For example, Camilla doesn't understand why Roddy supports the existence of such things in the city, but Roddy's answer made her understand: "Managing the troops can use high-pressure means. It's okay if this doesn't work, that's not allowed, because we need 'discipline'. But managing a city cannot do this. The first thing to do is 'stability'. The black market in brothels and casinos sounds bad, but it is very helpful for stabilizing the emotions of the poor, mercenaries or unemployed people..."
The following words like "co-construction and harmonious development" made people feel dizzy, but Camilla thought about it carefully and made no more questions, so she did not ask more. Of course, she still made a request to make Akasha and Naifie agree on the issue of "bredhouse":
"You don't need to inspect such places, the city lord, you can just go and inspect them. If you have any problems, I'll solve them."
Roddy thought to himself that I am the kind of person who plays tricks on her? But when she thought about her current emotional situation, she felt that it seemed like she couldn't explain it clearly...
So he could only nod his head with embarrassment.
Camilla wanted to laugh at Roddy's appearance, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt uncomfortable. But now she was talking about serious matters, so she turned cold and took out a stack of documents: "There are so much information about Lasciman. Charles II has been doing it frequently these days, and it seems that he has suffered a lot of losses."
"Sally wrote me a few words, but Charles II is not a fool. He can grit his teeth and suffer losses. There must be something worth paying for him."
After the topic changed, Roddy seemed much more serious. He took the information and read it, smiling and said, "They used to be a religion, but now they are controlled by magicians? Can the light of God protect his people?"
"It is normal to be eliminated if something that will not improve for hundreds of years."
As a mage, Camilla naturally has the pride of a mage and is not at all interested in the magical tricks, but she is obviously not as profound as Roddy knows - Roddy, who is familiar with later history, knows very well how terrifying the power of "religion" is, and that Rasimman can overthrow all this, which must prove that his magical power itself has reached a certain point.
Combined with the news of the visiting giant flagship and the "floating turret", Roddy suddenly felt a lot of crisis in his heart: the high-elf civilization, which was originally very advanced in his opinion, was probably not as powerful as he imagined...
It seemed as if the contestant running in the front of the marathon suddenly found the opponent chasing behind him. Roddy rubbed his temples and found that he wanted to survive in this troubled world, and he could not slacke in a second.
But this was too rush. Roddy knew that he had to solve the current crisis first, so he put down the documents, took out another pile of documents that had been bound before, turned to the back and said, "How is the preparation of '53'?"
"The sample is under final inspection and has been sent to the Magic Research Department for the revision of the magic array. It can be completed within three days."
Because of the research and development of the "Magic Research Institute", many powerful weapons or equipment have been quickly manufactured in conjunction with the military factory. For the sake of easy name, Roddy simply used numbers to name these. Camilla was naturally aware of this, so she continued to ask: "If you conduct the test, what aspect will it start?"
"Installed onto the floating tower and test the power and accuracy of the current city's maximum protection range."
"OK."

Thousands of miles away, the envoys of the Kingdom of Lassiman have completed most of the goals of this "friendly visit" and are ready to embark on their return journey.
If it weren't for the news of artificial rainfall in Elson City, Houdini would have thought that the trip was perfect, but after that night, Houdini's subsequent negotiations were obviously absent-minded. Later, he simply delegated power to his subordinates to do it, locking himself in the study all day long, looking very worried.
On the other hand, the news about the "exchange student" initially made the mages of Karen Kingdom excited, but seeing that Houdini had not appeared for several days, everyone gradually realized that the matter might have fallen out - and Malein Sera was also a little disappointed, but what she was worried about was Elson... After all, the city had lost an excellent opportunity to narrow the gap with the royal family.
As for losing the qualification to get rid of Rassieman, Melinthra didn't care too much... After all, the confidence and pride of the dragon clan will not be destroyed with the disappearance of the dragon crystal.
But what everyone did not expect was that just as the mission was about to leave, Houdini suddenly found Crohn, the "Crown of Ice", Scarlett, the Ring of Mystery" and several other mages, and gave 6 "exchange students" places to go to Rasieman, and expressed his willingness to establish a cooperative relationship with the mage council of the Kingdom of Karen!
This made the mages of Karon and the face of Charles II, who suffered a lot of losses, improved a lot - Envoy Lassiman is still sensible at least!
"Melinthella, this trip will take a year to learn and communicate. I hope you can seize this opportunity in Lasciman."
Before seeing off, the words of mentor Crohn were not new, but he looked at the flagship frequently and obviously had a secret envy. Not only that, almost all mages were jealous of these lucky six exchange students - this shows the mage's pursuit of higher-level power.
The six exchange students are all male except Melinthra. Speaking of which, the six of them are the favorite students of the six magicians. In the Kingdom of Karen, these six people can be included in the ranks of "magic geniuses". However, since packing their luggage and setting foot on the flagship called "Polartini", the other five young mages who are arrogant and arrogant are stage-frightened and seem to have never seen magic before. The flagship of the Kingdom of Lassiman represents the collection of the most advanced magic in the current kingdom. Even the lighting arrays that can be seen everywhere, their fineness and operational methods also make the "bulls" of the Kingdom of Karen sigh.
If your skills are inferior to others, your background is even worse than others. This is an inevitable thing.
Of course, only Melinthra was the most calm here. She was also the only mage who was invited by Houdini to talk to the next day after the flagship left the port.
This behavior naturally makes people understand what "differential treatment" means, but the other five mages have nothing to say about this, because the strength demonstrated by Melinthra is indeed worthy of such importance, but they never thought... The great mage Houdini called Melinthra to not have a "small stomp", but after asking about her relationship with Roddy, he solemnly proposed a plan to visit "Elson" city.
"Take me to Elson City?"
When Melinthra heard this request, she thought that the conditions she had put forward only required Houdini to send someone to negotiate. After all, they had the ability to monitor the political situation of the Karen Kingdom, and it was no difficulty to do something privately.
In her mind, there was no essential difference between Elson and Charles II's imperial city, so she was very surprised: It was just a simple negotiation, is it necessary to pay so much attention?
"Originally, Rassieman had no plan to visit Elson. If I went there directly, it would probably arouse unnecessary suspicion from Charles II. But if this matter was just your suggestion that you 'want to meet old friends', at least everyone would be able to live up to their faces. I wonder if you agree with this proposal... or not."
This reason is actually ridiculous, but on state issues, any absurd reason can become high-sounding.
Houdini knew that the mage in front of him was not as immature as the other young boys - how could a guy who dared to play tricks with several great wizards be simple-minded? So now he is not as polite as he was in the port, and he has a negotiating tone of equality.
Although there was no mention of the various magical information about the royal transaction, Melinthra believed that she had no room for rejection - and she was also very curious about why Houdini was suddenly interested in Elson, so she immediately agreed and asked, "Then the other person..."
"Don't worry about those guys."
Houdini's disdainful tone was like garbage at the stern of the comment boat. His mood was not good at this time. He did not look as good as he had when he first arrived at Karen. Instead, his eyes were bloodshot and his hair was a little messy. The result of "prophecy" made him insomnia and extremely anxious for days. He heard that Malene Sela nodded in agreement, and he couldn't even wait for her to leave and called his subordinates to start a detailed arrangement of login plan...
Houdini's solemn appearance made Maleen Sera involuntarily doubt:
Could it be that Roddy did something earth-shaking?

Let me talk about the recent situation. I originally planned to start a business, but after talking to many people, I felt that I didn’t even have experience working in a large enterprise, and if I didn’t even know what the framework of the company was, it would basically be a copy of Hell. So I planned to apply for a job. I was interviewed yesterday and started a job next Tuesday to work. During the interview, four bosses heard that I wrote a novel and asked me to type out the first chapter of the Black Scepter and the Demon Hunting Lord to show them. To be honest, I always felt weird. The Human Resources Director also asked me to write an article on the spot. Perhaps this thing looks more reliable than the online article, and everything went smoothly and successfully passed.
The place where I work is Mercedes-Benz 4S, but it is not a salesperson. If you have any Beijing rich people who want to consult, you can go to the book friends group to find me.
Chapter completed!
