The once extremely powerful thirteen witch factions divided the entire Northland into thirteen closely linked territories, and guarded by them in the center was a neutral territory that was as vast as hundreds of miles.
The seat of the Witches' Council, Vilning!
Seriously speaking, Vilning is actually a huge city with a population of nearly 300,000. The most well-known thing in the city is the Parliament Hall located in the center of the city, a sacred place where witch leaders can only gather and discuss.
place.
Since each witch faction has its own territory and dominates all external affairs within the territory, the witch leaders will not waste their precious time running here unless there is a major event involving multiple witch factions.
'Out of the way' places where squabbling takes place at the conference table.
Therefore, Weirning has always been under the protection of the Sedaselia family, a neutral family of witches. In order to maintain their justice and fairness, the Seidaselia family has vowed to protect Werning for life and will never explore the family's strength.
Nothing more than Verning.
Relying on the constraints of this ancient oath, even though there were only seven witch factions left out of the thirteen witch factions, and the surrounding faction territories have also changed many times in the vicissitudes of life, the Iron Mask Flag of the Sedaselia Family
But it has always been flying over Vilning, never changing.
This is a quiet and peaceful afternoon leisure time.
Just as Usa and five witch apprentices were riding broomsticks to patrol the sky around Vilning, they suddenly saw a black spot suddenly appear on the horizon in the distance.
Have outsiders come to Verning?
Usa frowned, flicked the broomstick under him with his hand, turned around and flew towards the black spot with his men.
There were still one or two hundred meters away, and Witch Usa, as the patrol leader, couldn't help but frown.
There were three people coming, riding a magic carpet, which is also the most commonly used means of transportation by Northland witches during group activities.
Three people on the blanket.
Sitting on her knees at the front, carefully controlling the flight of the magic carpet, was a witch apprentice. Judging from her appearance and body shape, she seemed to be only eight or nine years old. The apprentice robe she was wearing was strange in style, and the badge on her chest seemed to be engraved on it.
It is painted with a scale symbol. This is the first time Witch Usa has seen such a chest emblem in the past hundred years.
Behind the witch apprentice, two strange-looking real witches sat cross-legged.
The one at the head was wearing an exquisite purple star robe, with long silver satin-like hair hanging on his shoulders, and an unusually soft and quiet face. The long and narrow red phoenix eyes had a pair of impressive azure eyes, which flashed with brilliance.
A charming and mysterious flavor.
And the last witch seems weirder.
Her figure was so strong and stocky that she no longer looked like a woman. She wore a pair of pirate-style eye patches and blue leather armor, and in her hand was a thick wooden staff as thick as a bowl that looked heavy.
Riding a broomstick to stand in front of the magic carpet, Witch Usa looked at the visitors many times, but could not identify them with the witches she knew in her mind.
Finally, she couldn't help but speak.
"I'm sorry, the city of Vilning is just ahead! If you want to visit here, please return to the ground and follow the rules. Otherwise..."
According to the rules passed down from ancient times, ordinary witches are not allowed to fly within thirty miles around the city of Vilning, and they must be subject to full supervision by the witches of the Sedathria family. Only the witch leader and Sedathria as defenders exist.
An exception can be made for family witches!
It's just that the Witches' Council has gradually become a decoration over the years, so these rules have become somewhat relaxed. If it were thousands of years ago, ordinary witches would have dared to break into the surroundings of Vilning City in such a big way.
The witch had already taken action to detain him, yet she would be so polite as to persuade him to retreat.
"As far as I know, some witches have the right to fly directly to the parliament hall!" The beautiful witch in purple robe suddenly spoke, her voice was low and sweet, but there was a hint of power that could not be violated.
"Of course, the Witch Council has stipulated this." A contemptuous smile appeared on Witch Usa's face: "But that rule only applies to the witch leaders of each faction. Ordinary witches can..."
Before she finished speaking, Witch Usa's voice suddenly stopped, because she saw a mysterious card with colorful dazzling light in the raised hand of the beautiful witch.
"Destiny card?" Witch Usa can become the patrol captain, and her knowledge is obviously much broader than ordinary people. Sensing the mysterious power on the card, she couldn't help but said in a voice: "You... you are... the witch of destiny
Alice?"
Although the Sedaselia family clings to the city of Vilning and never interferes with the private disturbances of the witch faction, they have also heard a little bit about the reopening of the Tower of Destiny and the reappearance of the Destiny Witch.
During the battle for fate that year, the Sedaselia family also sent one or two representatives to watch the ceremony. When they came back, they all described the newly emerged witch of fate, Alice, as a mysterious and unpredictable figure.
"I am Alice, the leader of the Witch of Destiny. I need to go to the parliament hall now. What, are you still planning to stop me?" Alice stared coldly at the witch of the Seidaselia family.
"Don't dare... Uzzah is willing to lead the way for you!"
Although the person standing opposite Usa was only a first-level witch, the 'aura' of the witch leader above her head was not something she could easily offend.
Therefore, facing the powerful Alice of Destiny, Witch Ussa could only get out of the way and flew with them into the city of Vilning.
An hour later, the melodious bells of the Witches' Council Hall rang throughout the city.
Hearing the sound of the bell, many residents of Vilning City walked out of their houses and gathered on the street to look at the parliament hall where the bell was ringing.
For most people, this bell sound is quite unfamiliar and makes them at a loss!
But for some old people, the sound of the bell brings back distant memories buried in their memories.
"This bell... I know... This is the bell used by the witch leaders to convene a meeting... I remember, I remember... When I was young, my gray-haired grandfather once described this kind of bell to me...
…”
Listening to the old man's excited shouting, everyone who heard it couldn't help but be stunned.
Most of them have lived in Vilning City all their lives, but this is the first time they hear such bells. Could it be... is the long-standing witch council about to be convened again?
"A meeting of witches? Do all the witch leaders have to come when they hear this bell?" Someone asked in confusion.
"They will definitely come... As long as they are the witches of the North, they will definitely come when they hear this bell..." Amidst the discussion, the old man's weak shout seemed a little hoarse.
As the former center of power in the North, Vilning City has been silent for too long!
Now, suddenly, I heard the bell that had been stingy for hundreds of years ringing again. An unconcealable torrent surged in the hearts of all the city residents, and their faces showed even more excitement and joy.
Waves of cheers and dancing turned the city of Vilning into a sea of joy almost instantly!
And just as the city residents celebrated spontaneously, countless trainee witches wearing the emblem of the Sedaselia family got on their broomsticks, rushed out of Vilning City, and flew towards the territories of other witch factions.
…………
Alice, who had just been the leader of the Witches of Destiny for less than a year, actually used the power of the leader to issue a proposal to convene a witch conference to all witch factions.
For a time, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire Northland became agitated. Everyone was talking about it, wondering what the newly appointed leader of the Destiny Witch was going to do.
And the various witch factions are even more puzzled, not knowing how to deal with this disruptor who doesn't play by common sense.
According to the traditions left by the ancient witches, only the witch leader can initiate a motion, convene a witch meeting, and then handle some thorny issues within the witches through mass voting.
However, as the years have changed, each witch faction has invested its energy in the expansion and development of its own territory, and has paid less and less attention to the Witch Council, which was once the highest authority of the Northland witches. Even if there are occasional disputes between factions,
Most of the time, several faction leaders get together to negotiate and resolve the situation, and rarely rely on the 'big killer' weapon of the Witches' Council.
Therefore, invisibly, the Witches' Council was gradually emptied out, becoming a rubber stamp for the existing major witch factions to take turns assigning people to take charge, only responsible for managing some neutral public cities.
However, the reputation of the Witches Council will only be dusted, but it will not be erased.
So when the bell of the Vilning City Council Hall rang again, the entire Northland was turned upside down.
Although they were not optimistic about the Alice witch, and although they did not want the witch council to override them again, when the bell rang, all the witch leaders could only put aside the matters at hand with a dark face and walk thousands of miles away.
He rushed to that familiar yet unfamiliar place, the city of Vilning.
For a time, the surroundings of Vilning City were once again turbulent, and a large number of witches came tirelessly every day. On the third day when the bell rang, even the pale witch leader who was farthest from here appeared in the parliament hall.
At this point, all the witch leaders in the entire Northland have gathered in Vilning City.
After 132 years, a new witch council was convened.
…………
The so-called Parliament Hall is actually nothing more than an ancient fortress-style castle.
The place where the witch leaders held their council was, after all, just a dark side hall on the second floor of the castle.
There are three long and narrow windows on the wall of the side hall. Since sunlight is difficult to penetrate, even in the daytime, torches need to be lit here to illuminate every corner.
In the side hall, an extremely ordinary long table is placed in the middle, and fourteen crude wooden high-back chairs are placed along the edge of the table. Except for one black high-back chair placed on the long table
Except for one end of the table, the remaining thirteen are placed on both sides of the long table.
The corresponding witch logo is etched into the seat of each high-back chair.
However, at this moment, there were only eight people sitting in the thirteen high-backed chairs, and the remaining five chairs were still empty. As for the black high-backed chair at the head of the table, no one dared to approach it easily.
According to legend, the black high-backed chair is the seat of the Witch King.
Here, no one dares to offend the majesty of the Witch King!
Although she has been outside the territory for tens of thousands of years.
