Chapter two hundred and sixty-six calm conversation
In the evening, the rain was still heavy.
In the restaurant of the Dawn Wizard Tower near the Earl's Castle, many witch apprentices were eating dinner.
"Ding ding ding~" There was a pleasant sound between the tableware and the dinner plate. A dozen witch apprentices were all eating together. Most of them lowered their heads and tasted white bread, horse meat sausage, cauliflower and corn ham soup in small bites.
.
Coming to Britannia and being trained by Councilor Veronica Bernadotte is a brand new experience for the witch apprentices. When Margaretta, Speaker of the Glory Council, issued an announcement in the Skydome,
When asked who would like to go to Britannia, more than 70% of the witch apprentices signed up for themselves.
After strict selection, Margarita finally selected a dozen outstanding witch apprentices, and also sent two of her own official witches to assist Veronica. After having her own luxurious wizard tower,
She already has the qualifications to enter the Inner Circle Presbyterian Church, the only thing missing is her qualifications.
When they come to the Kingdom of Knights, the witch apprentices no longer have to experience the oppressive environment in the Sky Castle. Both the living conditions and the living environment are much better. The Sky Castle is originally built on a mountain of more than 2,000 meters. The witch apprentices are in
The life there is really not that good. The low-level witch apprentices have to squeeze into Datongbu at night, which means everyone sleeps together in the same room.
Veronica is not a good-tempered mentor, or the female members of the Garland Council are not good-tempered, but Veronica, who climbed out of the army of witch apprentices, is very clear about the situation of the witch apprentices below.
Witch Lan has established many systems and formed effective management.
"Mira, look, it's not surprising that Senator Veronica is here, but why did I see Senator Theresa?" a witch apprentice whispered.
On the other side of the restaurant, Veronica was eating with Teresa, and the two Garland congresswomen were talking quietly, not looking like they were quarreling.
"Shh~ Naomi, keep your voice down. If we anger the councillors, we will be driven back! I don't want to go back to Sky Castle!" Another witch apprentice also said in a low voice.
The witch apprentices were discussing in low voices.
"You guys, hurry up and eat. There are other classes in the evening. Gasparton, the earl's tax collector, will give you a math lesson." Catherine, who was already an official witch, saw many witch apprentices whispering and said quickly.
However, Catherine really overestimated her own majesty. Catherine, who had just entered the elite level, looked very immature in both appearance and tone. Her reprimands not only had no effect, but caused many apprentices to continue asking questions.
"Teacher Catherine, what is Senator Veronica doing?"
"Teacher Catherine, will you teach us tomorrow?"
"When can we see His Excellency the Earl? Didn't he take time to give us lessons and teach us swordsmanship? Why is it that Teacher Doris is the one teaching us?"
The apprentices frequently asked questions, leaving Catherine in a hurry: "This..."
She had no choice but to seek help from her mentor: "Mentor..."
"Quiet." Veronica spoke.
The entire restaurant immediately became silent. The witch apprentices all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak anymore. The only sound left in the restaurant was the sound of chewing.
Seeing the appearance of the witch apprentices, Veronica frowned and said to Teresa, "Let's go upstairs to talk."
"That's how it should be." The mole of tears in the corner of Theresa's eyes was cold and attractive.
After a simple dinner, Veronica and Teresa went upstairs one after another. The heavy pressure gradually went away. The witch apprentices hurriedly finished their meal and then took the time to rest. In the afternoon, they were sometimes assigned to work or
Making various magic potions and sometimes taking classes, the witch apprentices only have one day a week to relax. They can go to Lane's town for a stroll, or they can stay in their rooms and enjoy some leisure time.
Veronica opened her living room. In the luxurious decoration with warm colors, a high-end sofa made of red wing wood was placed in the room, and several magic lamps emitted a goose-yellow light.
"It's raining so hard." The sound of Veronica's high heels "tap, tap, tap" spread to the window. She originally wanted to open the window, but the heavy rain made her give up this move: "Sit down, I want to drink something."
?"
"Just drink whatever you want." Teresa didn't take it seriously. She looked at the decoration in the room and compared it with her mother's wizard tower.
The sorceress had to admit that although in terms of foundation, Veronica's wizard tower did not have as many years of accumulation as Aurora's wizard tower, but from a luxury perspective, Veronica was no longer willing to give in.
Moreover, as long as it relies on Ryan's funding, it is only a matter of time before the Dawn Wizard Tower surpasses his mother's Wizard Tower.
Veronica opened her wine cabinet and took out a bottle of sparkling cider and two goblets.
There was a sound of water, and the goblet was placed in front of Theresa: "Now, have a taste, this is what Ryan gave me."
"It's a bit presumptuous to come to you at night." Teresa picked up the goblet and looked at the indifferent Veronica through her butterfly-patterned glasses, her eyes a little wandering: "But I think we should have a good talk.
Talked."
"What does the little Princess of Gloria want to talk to me about? It's just two things, either related to Ryan or Elder Aurora." Veronica nodded, and the sweet-looking witch of Gloria looked at the other side with full of excitement.
Teresa, who had a cool temperament, had a fake smile on her face: "Which one do you want to talk about?"
"I want both, but first, let me show you this." Teresa took out a piece of parchment.
Veronica took the parchment.
The parchment is a letter written by Theresa's mother Aurora to Theresa. The letter agreed to Theresa's request to further strengthen cooperation with Ryan. The letter mentioned something about Theresa's wizard tower. Aurora
La said that he could spend eight thousand gold marks (i.e. eight thousand gold crowns) to build a wizard tower for his daughter, and she would have to raise the rest of the money herself.
The letter also mentioned another thing, that is, the issue of Veronica entering the Inner Circle Presbyterian Church. Aurora did not want Veronica to enter the Presbyterian Church, but because Ryan was so popular, Aurora
Veronica expressed great hope.
"I am first of all a woman of Ryan, and then a congresswoman of Gloria. Whether I become an elder now is meaningless to me. My wizard tower is here in Ryan's territory, not in the Sky Castle." Veronica frowned.
brow.
The Witch of Gloria thought about the meaning of Teresa's letter.
Veronica positions herself within the council as the liaison between Ryan and the Gloria Council. After all, Ryan is a warrior and a lord aristocrat. He definitely needs magical answers, and Veronica can be there.
His side plays this role.
Being promoted to the elder of the inner circle does not mean much to Veronica, because she will not be permanently stationed in the Sky Castle.
Veronica immediately realized that the situation had changed.
A few gleams of light flashed in Theresa's silver eyes: "Veronica, you have been away from the parliament for too long."
The face of the Gloria Witch finally changed a little. Perhaps as Theresa said, she had really been away from the Gloria Council for too long. Since coming to Ryan, all her energy has been thrown into her wizard tower.
Regarding Ryan's matter.
"So, the Speaker has reached some agreement with Ms. Aurora?" The change in Veronica's face was noticed by Teresa, who also raised her long legs wearing leather pants and boots.
:"you guess?"
"I'm not interested in playing guessing games with you, Trovik." Veronica said solemnly: "Or can our conversation end here?"
It is raining heavily outside the window. In the dark night, the heavy rain is hitting the glazed windows. The two Gloria congresswomen in the room are sitting opposite each other. The relationship between them is very strange. They are both love rivals and colleagues. They are both spellcasters.
They should understand each other, but they face the embarrassment of overlapping identities.
"Ryan is so good, Miss Veronica Bernadotte." Teresa continued.
Veronica raised her head, she knew what Theresa wanted to say.
"Let your mother tell me, Trovik, you can't make the decision." Veronica returned the letter to Theresa: "That's the end of this topic. Now let's talk about the next one.
question."
Both of them are smart people, and some words are enough just halfway.
"As for Ryan's issue... Trovik, I think it won't help if we continue to argue." Veronica's face was very cold: "But we must first recognize one fact and reach a consensus, that is, I
He was the one who had a relationship with Ryan first, and I was also the one who took the lead."
Teresa leaned on the back of the sofa and nodded calmly: "Yes, I admit it."
"Then we have a basis for discussion."
...
"It's raining heavily, my lady." At night, the small pool next to the fairy tower in the lake was filled with thick fog.
Ryan and the Lake Fairy were walking along the pool. The heavy downpour had no impact on these two people at all. There was some kind of protection between them. Any raindrops that tried to get close to them would be bounced away.
The only difference is that Ryan's shield is light blue and the Lake Fairy's shield is green.
"I told you in private, just call me Lilith." There was indescribable fatigue in the voice of the Lake Fairy. She held Ryan's arm: "Lian, my champion, let's go in and hug me."
"
"It should have been like this." Ryan said softly.
Today, the Lady of the Lake is wearing a gray Ulthuan high elf Phoenix King's fluorescent velvet vase classical evening dress. Her beautiful face is leaning on Ryan's chest, with a faint smile, and her blond hair almost falls to the ground.
The petite and cute little feet swayed slightly with the owner's movements, but this could not hide the paleness of her face: "Carry me to the fourth floor, Ryan."
"Lilith, what's going on? You are so weak now." Ryan asked with some confusion as he carried the fairy of the lake upstairs.
"What else can happen? The elves and gods once again broke out into internal strife, which affected me." The fairy in the lake said helplessly. She shrank into Ryan's arms: "I originally didn't want to participate in this internal strife, but when
When Ulthuan faces the invasion of the northern Chaos tribes at the same time, I have to come out to fight."
Ryan's steps were very steady. He carried the fairy of the lake all the way to the fourth floor, and the two of them sat down on a back chair.
"An army of northern barbarians who believe in Chaos invaded the Kingdom of Cosqui in northern Ulthuan. The leader was Prince Sigvald, the divinely chosen champion of Slaanesh, 'Beauty'. He led an army of more than 6,000 people in
Landing on the land of Cosqui." The fairy in the lake leaned on Ryan's shoulder with a pale face, and at the same time played with Ryan's black hair with her green-white jade fingers.
"I don't believe that the high elves can't defeat a six thousand barbarian invasion army." Ryan looked at the heavy rain outside: "We know very well how powerful the high elves are."
"It's because the enemy is too weak, so the elves and gods don't take it to heart at all." The tone of the fairy in the lake was full of complaints: "Asuyan will sit high on the throne of the Phoenix Lord forever, except for the God of Bloody Hands.
Kane's war, he is indifferent to anything, the eternal queen Alarielle is holding another conference in Avalon to encourage fertility.
, thousands of elves are having a grand birth party inside. Both the hunting god Kunos and the mother goddess Isha are indulged in it. They don't care about the war outside. Charis's white lion guards only care about their own territory.
As well as the safety of the Phoenix King and the Eternal Queen, Tyron Locke and Nagareth are still engaged in a desperate war with the Druzi that has lasted for thousands of years."
"In the Council of Gods, all the gods were blaming each other, but no god was willing to come forward. So when Princess Adira, who is responsible for defending against foreign enemies, prayed to me for help, I had no choice but to step forward."
Ryan thought to himself that the same was true among the elves, each family was doing its own thing, regardless of whether others were alive or dead.
"I heard that the Phoenix King is responsible for integrating the power of all kingdoms among the high elves, isn't it?" Ryan could only tentatively ask.
"One Piece King Fenuba's favorite thing to do is to shut himself up in the Phoenix King's Court and meditate. He is an excellent diplomat but not an excellent general." The Lake Fairy looked at the heavy rain outside her tower, and her voice
Just like murmuring in a dream: "He gave the Phoenix King's power to dispatch troops completely to Tyrion and Teclis, the descendants of the first Phoenix King, and appointed them as the guardians of Ulthuan."
"What about Tyrion and Teclis?" Lion then asked.
"Tyrion is participating in the fertility conference held by the Eternal Queen." The soft cherry lips of the Lake Fairy kissed Ryan on the face and said helplessly: "He is the eternal Queen's partner and the eternal Queen's divinely chosen champion.
, his relationship with the Eternal Queen... is just like my relationship with you."
"..." Ryan said that he had nothing to say. He thought for a while and said strangely: "No, I remember that the Eternal Queen and the Phoenix King were husband and wife in every generation?"
By the way, aren't you high elves afraid of attracting Slaanesh by doing this?
"Yes." The fairy in the lake smiled charmingly, her body exuding a strong fragrance of iris: "But does this have anything to do with the eternal queen's partner?"
"How can the Eternal Queen and the Phoenix King have partners after they get married?" Ryan complained strangely: "Finubar actually appointed Tyrion as the guardian of Ulthuan?"
"Hahahaha~" The fairy in the lake smiled sweetly. She stretched out her slender jade finger and tapped Ryan's face: "Lian, my champion, elves have no concept of that. The Phoenix King will succeed to the throne.
Then live with the Eternal Queen for one year to ensure the birth of the next Eternal Queen.
Then everyone has always lived their own lives, and each has many partners. In fact, in the heavenly pantheon, except for me, the moon, dreams and destiny, the pure girl god, and the fairy Lilith in the lake, what do you think of her believers?
Except for the requirements of others, all elves have no concept of chastity."
"Well, I can only say that I don't understand you elves very well." Ryan complained. He held the little hand of the Lake Fairy and poured spiritual energy into her to help her recover.
"By the way, before enjoying this night, I want to give this to you." The fairy in the lake suddenly remembered something, and she took out a necklace from between her full chest.
The necklace is made of white gold and diamonds, the favorite of high elves, and at the top of the necklace, inside the black beads, a beautiful nebula vortex is spinning inside.
