Chapter 838, You Are Arrested!
Although Veronica had to leave Skydome a day or two earlier, and was directly teleported to Marienburg using the teleportation array, Veronica was not in a hurry to return to Britannia. She and several Garlands under her command The female councilors simply started making big purchases in Fort Marien, and took advantage of this opportunity to buy, buy, buy, and buy. Veronica is now the female elder of the Garland Council. She has gained a lot from the expedition to Bafeng Mountain, plus With Bellegar's gift and a series of harvests brought by the Dawn Wizard Tower, Veronica does have a very rich fund and a large amount of magic reserves on hand.
As the chief female courtier of the Ryan court, Veronica was naturally welcomed by the Grand Duke of Marienburg Van der Gouber-Schulz after arriving in Marienburg, and Marienburg, who had repeatedly opposed Ryan during the Eight Peaks Expedition The big businessmen also gave a shock, they almost forgot about it!
The vengeance of the kingdom of dwarves and knights is yet to come!
Thinking of this incident, the big merchants panicked. For these big merchants in Marienburg, the dwarves were a group of people who could not be bought with bribes and what they liked. When will revenge come.
At this time, the only way to find out is to please His Majesty Ryan's chief female courtier.
Therefore, Veronica will receive warm hospitality from all the big merchants wherever she goes during this period of time. The magic scrolls and magic accessories she sells are also known for their high quality and practicality, and have been well received by everyone in Marienburg. If Veronica didn't know very well that she relied on pulling Ryan's tiger skin, she might have really swelled up.
In this way, Veronica stayed in Marienburg for a while. While buying a lot of magic ores, alchemy materials, and luxury goods that witches love, she sold a lot of her magic potions, enchanted equipment, and enchanted jewelry.
Subsequently, a fast boat from Ostermark also arrived in Marienburg, because it was all the way down the Talabek River to the Riker River and then to Marienburg, and Hertwig chose The emperor arranged well, so the speed was very fast.
Aurora and Teresa brought a shocking news. The Garland Council was almost completely destroyed, Sky Dome was destroyed, the female elder Karelona rebelled, the witcher Supreme Master Ernst died in battle, and Garland Speaker Margarita died in battle, and of the more than a thousand witches who escaped in the end, there were only about two hundred people left including Veronica's side.
Veronica immediately realized that she could not spend any more time in Marienburg, and Witch Garland immediately stated that she must go to Britannia to find Ryan immediately. At this time, the reaction must be fast. Veronica told everyone that this time The only option at this moment is to immediately swear allegiance to Ryan and become a wizarding force attached to Britannia.
Regarding this point, Aurora's faction had barely reached a consensus before, but there were still quarrels over who would lead the remaining strength of the Garland Council. Aurora tried to unite more female congressmen and the old Seniority makes Veronica temporarily take orders from her.
It is also an unresolved question as to who should be handed over to the relics that were finally rescued by the Garland Council, those precious artifacts, those precious magic books and ancient books.
And Veronica's answer was also very straightforward: "We shouldn't listen to anyone, we should all listen to Ryan."
After finishing speaking, Veronica gave up arguing with Aurora. She hired a Marienburg galleon with the witches who supported her, and set off immediately for Boldero.
Aurora and Teresa also took the rest of the witches, and hired a Marienburg galleon from Marienburg, and headed towards Bordello.
It took about three weeks, and when the time came to late April, Brittany's spring time, the two galleons finally arrived at the port of Poldereau,
Just above the Mannan dry dock, the galleons from Fort Marien slowly entered the port one after another.
Veronica was wearing a pure white dress from the noble court of Brittania. After suffering such a huge blow, Witch Garland couldn't help but feel very depressed. After she learned that her mentor Margarita died in battle, Weeping bitterly, no matter how you say it, Margarita finally recognized her as a personal apprentice, and taught Veronica the last spells and ways of life that she had kept at the bottom of the box. It was somewhat sincere, Veronica Mourning the death of the teacher.
But there is no doubt that Veronica is a strong person, and she has recovered quickly. Although she is still a little depressed, Veronica still squeezed out a smile towards her personal apprentice Catherine: "Look, Catherine , Your Excellency Callard has come to pick you up from the Bordeaux dock."
"Mentor!" Catherine was immediately flushed by Veronica, and she said with some embarrassment: "Perhaps it was just passing by by chance, and Lord Carrad came here."
"Stop joking, Catherine, don't we know where Lord Carrad's territory is? How could he just pass by by chance?" Veronica joked, and she quickly noticed something else.
The pier has been cleared, and the lake goddess Morgiana appeared on the pier riding the unicorn Sylphane. Behind her was a group of eighteen Holy Grail guards, all of whom were fully armed. After the eight Holy Grail guards, there are hundreds of Poseidon knights and Boldrow's elite infantry Mannen Guards. With firearms and new training, the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
Veronica felt that something was wrong. After the ship docked, Witch Jialan stepped forward and lifted her skirt and stepped on the pedals to get off the ship. Morgana's face was calm, with a little sympathy: "Thanks for your hard work, Veronica, what happened to me We all know."
"Thank you for coming to pick me up at the pier in person, Your Highness Morgiana." Veronica sighed lightly: "Where is Ryan?"
"Lian and Suria are still on their way back from Musilon." The relationship between the Lake God Witch and Veronica can't be said to be very good, but overall it is good. They have one thing in common, that It is that he always likes to take Ryan's interests as his first consideration. When a consensus can be reached and Veronica intends to maintain and win over, Morgana also knows how much Veronica is favored. It was quite harmonious: "He is the king of knights, and he has a lot of things to deal with. As soon as Mu Xilong's affairs were settled, he led his people to rush here."
"That's it." Veronica was a little disappointed. Witch Jialan finally landed on land and naturally wanted to see her man for the first time, vent her grievances to him, and longed for Ryan's comfort: "Okay, I also I don’t want to stay in Bordrodo anymore, so hurry up to Jin City, I’m going to settle down all the witches, and then I’ll think about what to do with the future of the Garland Council.”
"You will have a lot of time." Mogiana said lightly, she set her gaze not far away, and the eyes of the lake goddess and witch gradually flickered on Aurora, Teresa and others who were docked in another place. Fire and light: "I said it, I will take action, and now!"
"Lady's knights!" Morgiana raised the holy grail of medicine in her hand, and the lake goddess suddenly pointed to the boat where Aurora and Teresa were on: "Soldiers of Poldero, listen to my orders." !"
"Yes!" The Holy Grail Guard answered loudly under the leadership of Karad, and the knights of the goddess always obeyed her orders.
"Take down everyone on that ship!" Morgiana said suddenly.
"What?" Both Karard and Veronica jumped at Morgana's order, and everyone hesitated for a moment. Before Veronica could ask why, Morgana repeated: "Kara De, didn't you hear my order?"
"Yes!" For the Holy Grail Knight, the order of the Lake God Witch is absolute, because she is the incarnation of the Lake Fairy's will in the mortal world. Only Ryan, who is the champion of the Lake Fairy Goddess, can be compared. Karard heard No more hesitation after Mogiana's emphasis, he immediately led the Holy Grail Knights forward and rushed towards Aurora and the others who had just disembarked and were about to unload!
"Put your hands up!"
"Drop your weapons, put down your wands!"
"Those who dare to resist will be shot and killed!"
More than a dozen Holy Grail knights led a large group of Poseidon knights and Mannan guards to rush directly towards Aurora and Teresa at the same time. Before Aurora could react to what happened, Karard had already rushed In front of her, the sanctuary witch subconsciously chanted an ice shield. As a result, Karard directly swung his sword and chopped the newly condensed ice shield into pieces.
In the next second, the sword edge of the Excalibur Durandal touched Aurora's neck, and Callard controlled the force: "Offended, Ms. Aurora, and Ms. Teresa!"
Caught off guard, all the Garland witches who survived the destruction of Sky Fortress were captured with their weapons on their bodies. Aurora's face changed dramatically. Her neck was already held by the sword blades of Karard and another Holy Grail Knight. .
A minute later, the scene quietened down. Dozens of witches were pinned to the ground, knelt and unable to move. It was obvious that Morgiana was serious about it.
"You have been arrested, witches." Morgiana came slowly from a distance riding the unicorn Sylphane: "Now, kneel down, relax, don't resist, or I won't guarantee your ending .”
Knowing the Holy Grail Knight's super high magic resistance and superb skills, the sanctuary witch had no choice but to tell everyone not to resist, and then yelled at Morgiana who ordered from a distance: "Mogiana! Are you crazy? What are you doing? How can you do this? We are here to defect to Ryan! You have no right to arrest and judge a SI7 chief appointed by the king himself! Who gave you this power? I want to see Ryan! I want to see Ryan!"
"Your Highness Morgiana, you must have made a mistake!" Teresa was also caught by two Holy Grail knights. The sorceress did not resist, but said in the same angry tone: "We are carrying the Garland Council to the final Survivors and fortunes of those who have come to Layne, you have no right to do that to us! You must be mistaken!"
"That's right, I have no right to arrest you, a head of SI7, a female courtier of Ryan." Morgiana's blue eyes were filled with cold anger: "But I can judge two traitors ! And a group of witches corrupted by Chaos!"
"Traitor? When did we betray?" Aurora looked a little embarrassed, she suddenly raised her head: "What about the evidence? If we treason, please show the evidence, otherwise I will sue you in the court of the kingdom!"
"Evidence?" Morgiana sneered, and the Lake Goddess Witch said directly: "I don't need evidence in this country, but since you want to see it, I'll show it to you. The evidence you want is from the Empire of Oster Do you want to know what is written in the letter written by Hertwig Hertwig, the Speaker of the Union of Mark and the Elector? Ms. Aurora, Ms. Teresa? Do you want me to read it to you?"
The expressions of the sorceress mother and daughter suddenly changed. Teresa glanced at her mother with complaining eyes, while Aurora turned pale, and the sanctuary witch immediately argued: "I just went to seek help from Your Excellency Hertwig... ...in order to be able to return here as soon as possible!"
"Help?" Morgana held the letter and said with a sneer, "Should I ask for help? It doesn't matter what you say, and it doesn't matter what I say. We have to wait for Ryan to come back to make a judgment, but before he makes a decision, you two They are all people suspected of treason and guilty, if you are really wronged, go tell Ryan, now, put them all in custody, and all those properties will be confiscated! Send them to the duke's treasury in Jin City."
"Yes!" Karard was relieved when he saw that Morgiana didn't plan to kill first and then act later. If Morgiana really ordered to be executed directly on the dock, Karard would definitely come out to persuade Her Highness the Lake God and Witch not to do so: " Ms. Aurora, please."
"Wait!" Teresa stood up, and the sorceress said to Morgiana angrily, "If that's the case, then it's fine to lock us up, why should everyone?"
"I suspect that you have been corrupted by Chaos." Morgiana said coldly: "Yes, Sky Castle was destroyed, and your headquarters was destroyed by the Tzeentch Demon Army. You escaped, but how can I be sure? The people who are not you? How can I be sure that there are no ghosts among you? All in all, no one knows what happened to Skydome except you, so for a period of time in the future, you must be isolated, and then you must go through our Holy water test and divine spell test, until it can be confirmed that there is no chaos and corruption, otherwise, if there is an accident, it will be a disaster, Ryan may be willing to trust you, then I will be the villain."
"Mogiana, you did it on purpose!" Aurora's hands had already been bound by the Holy Grail Knight using a special anti-magic chain soaked in holy water, and the sanctuary witch shouted disapprovingly: "You avenge yourself! Hypocrisy Shameless! Obscene! Despicable!"
"I've said it, Ms. Aurora." Morgiana approached slowly, and said in Aurora's ear, "Don't let me find a chance."
Only then did Aurora realize with a pale face that Morgiana was not joking at the coronation banquet.
Morgana didn't give her another chance to speak. All the witches under Aurora's command, except Teresa, were all taken away. They will be imprisoned in the Lake Fairy Monastery near the city of Jean. Quarantine and inspection.
"Mogiana, isn't this...a bit..." Veronica hurried over and tried to explain to the Lake God Witch, "Isn't it a bit bad."
"Hmph~ I am responsible for all the people in the whole kingdom." Mogiana sighed lightly: "Veronica, do you really know what happened in Skydome? Just believe what these people say gone?"
"I..." Veronica was speechless for a moment.
"I once fell for the trick. That's how Teresa, the branch ghost Teresa, the maid of Athel Loren's ancient treant elder Kedi Le, tricked me into ambush in the Sharon Forest." Mogiana turned around, The witch of the lake stared at the group of people being taken away: "I was almost sacrificed to Nagash by Manfred because of this!"
"But..." Veronica hesitated for a few seconds, and finally she could only say helplessly: "You don't believe others, what about Teresa? Her words should be trustworthy, right? You know Teresa's character, and you also I know, she has the same thing as us, she has 'that thing'."
"That's why I didn't let her be imprisoned in the monastery together." Morgiana glanced at the sorceress standing not far away, glaring at herself: "Now, we can know from Teresa that Aurora and Are these witches under her command sincerely seeking refuge, and what Her Excellency Hertwig said in the letter is true or not."
"Okay." Veronica rolled her eyes, and she whispered suddenly: "Then our last plan..."
"As scheduled, the dark elf knows what to do." Mogiana said holding the Holy Grail of potion: "She, there are many ways, all we have to do is to hold Ryan and let Orika complete the magical branding of Aurora and brainwashing rituals."
"Hey, wise decision." Veronica and Morgana smiled at each other.
