Chapter 74, Conflict and Parting
As a large spellcasting organization, the Garland Council naturally has a stronghold in Marienburg.
Garland Council’s stronghold in Fort Marim is located in the Shield Block, a newly emerging financial block where many financial companies and rich people gather. Unlike the noble and tranquil Amber Avenue, this place is very busy, no matter what Whether it is day or night, there will always be a busy flow of people and the trade of various large and small goods.
Here, the men wear loose shirts, leggings and stylish shoes, while the women mostly opt for tunics and fur coats, and of course hats with feathers.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the pace of pedestrians on the street is also faster. Pedestrians come and go in a hurry, and there are harsh wheels rubbing and bargaining between people everywhere, making it very noisy.
"We Jialan has a mansion in Marienburg, which is responsible for purchasing magic ores and various alchemy products, and also selling various magic products." Teresa walked beside Ryan, and the sorceress is now dressed in white fox fur. A coat, cardigan and leggings paired with high-heeled boots is what she generally likes to wear when she's out and about.
A two-storey mansion appeared in front of the two people. At the door, a witch was chatting with a businessman.
"There is obviously something wrong with your shipment, sir? You can't get that much." The witch was wearing a long silk aristocratic striped dress, her black and brown long curly hair wrapped around a white ribbon, and a white bow was tied around her ears. Her movements Perfect and full of norms, not only that, following the light movement of the owner's fingers, there are thin sparks flickering in the air at the fingertips.
The witch has a proud figure. She is taller than Teresa and is close to 1.75 meters. The silk dress completely shows her body line in front of everyone. Compared with Teresa's pair of Danfeng eyes and glamorous appearance, the witch's appearance is closer to sweetness, she has a pair of beautiful almond eyes and a small Qiong nose, a pair of sapphire earrings and a diamond necklace adorn her beauty, the long skirt is very long, reaching the middle of the calf, a pair of wrapped The slender feet in black stockings stepped on the fiery red high-heeled shoes inlaid with rhinestones.
Under the pressure of the witch, the businessman argued: "Your Excellency, we encountered green-skinned robbers in order to help you transport this batch of goods. In order to protect these goods, we almost died and lost three young men!"
"Yes, it may be very difficult for you, but you are more aware of the risks of taking this business route than I am. You see, the contract states that if it is intact, you will pay all the money. If there is any loss, it will be discounted according to the proportion. It is in accordance with the contract, please have the spirit of the contract! Okay? This gentleman?!" The sweet female voice was very indifferent, and the witch's words made the businessman unable to object, and in the end they could only discount 10%, and sell the goods at 90% of the original price to the witch.
After the delivery, the businessman walked past Ryan and Teresa cursingly: "Fuck! I just hate doing business with Jialan's women."
Ryan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This is male chauvinism at work. If the other party is a wizard from the Wizarding Union, the businessman wouldn't feel so ashamed. Sometimes men are like this.
But both Ryan and Teresa recognized who the witch was.
"Vello~" Ryan had just opened his mouth, and the black-brown-haired witch turned around at an extremely fast speed. A dazzling ball of light was burning in her hand. With the woman's movements, this basin-sized The fireball flew directly towards Ryan.
Four-ring magic, fireball!
The people around were stunned by the woman's action, the merchants and citizens ran away in fright, and many professionals subconsciously drew their weapons.
"Veronica!!!" Teresa was about to raise her staff, Ryan stretched out his hand to signal her to back down, the man didn't say anything, and raised his right hand straight ahead: "Ah~ you always do this greet!"
The fireball technique was directly grasped by the man's right hand, and it did not explode as expected. The entire fireball was pinched in Ryan's hand like a sandbag, and then the man's right hand turned over,
With a firm grip, the entire fireball technique was completely crushed under the surprised eyes of everyone, leaving only wisps of black smoke in the air.
His strength now is completely different from when he was in Nord.
"Hmm~ This is the hero I know who repelled the barbarians by himself." The witch saw that Ryan could catch the fireball with his bare hands, and immediately dispelled the magic power surrounding her, and then walked forward with joy: "Oh ~ Ryan, long time no see, I miss you."
After finishing speaking, Veronica threw herself directly into Ryan's arms under Teresa's shocked eyes, put her hands around his neck, kissed him on the face, and said with a delicate smile: "Don't worry , then we have plenty of time."
"Oh, you're always like this." Ryan was smiling, and his hands didn't stop. He reached out and hugged the witch's slender waist before letting her go: "When did you arrive?"
"It arrived three days ago." Veronica leaned on Ryan and couldn't get up: "Come on, I'll take you to the store~ Let's see what we can buy? Also, I can't wait to eat you Made dinner."
After speaking, the woman pulled Ryan and was about to leave.
"Veronica!!! What do you mean?!" Seeing that the relationship between the witch and Ryan seems to be very close, the sorceress erupted, and Teresa stood in front of the pair of dogs with a very bad expression. His purple staff pointed at Veronica's face: "You better give me an explanation, Veronica, do you think I don't exist?"
Teresa did not appear in Veronica's beautiful almond eyes at all, the woman just took out a scroll of parchment with a seal from her arms, and threw it to the sorceress: "Hey, take it, this is you The recall order, you can go back."
After finishing speaking, Veronica looked at Ryan very "affectionately": "Ryan~ I miss you so much."
"What the hell are you doing???" Ryan was indescribably uncomfortable, the woman in front of him must be pretending.
"Lian, let's go shopping on the street. There are some latest goods there. What do you want?" Veronica raised her head, holding Ryan's arm and said: "Sometimes you will meet a once-in-a-lifetime good Things can be bought at a very cheap price.”
Every time Veronica said something, Teresa's face turned pale, and by the end of the sentence, her anger could no longer be contained, and the sorceress stood in front of Veronica: "Stop talking nonsense, share Let's compete."
"Our little princess of Jialan wants to do something to me? Yes, Elder Aurora will favor you anyway, come on, let me see if you have been paddling with Ryan for so long, have you made any progress?" The sorceress, Witch Garland doesn't need a staff at all, bright sparks light up Veronica's fingertips, and her casting speed is faster than Teresa's.
Ryan could feel the huge magical power and spiritual power condensed on the bodies of the two Garland congresswomen, and the man secretly thought that something was wrong, and sure enough, they began to chant spells one after another.
"Dragon's Breath!" Veronica, who started to sing afterward, was the one who finished casting the spell first. The witch raised her left hand towards Teresa, and the burning flames formed the shape of a dragon, tearing the air and moving towards Teresa. Teresa rushed.
"Ice blast!" Teresa also finished casting the spell, and a large storm of hoarfrost, ice and snow swept over.
The fight between the two Garland councilors caused the passers-by on the whole street to avoid being affected by it, and they all hid aside, but they were curiously watching the actual situation of the spellcaster duel.
Just then, Ryan moved.
The White Wolf Knight dashed into the battlefield, stood alone between the two spells, and then opened his hands.
"Oh! No!" Teresa was so frightened by Ryan's actions that her face turned pale.
"Huh?" Veronica was different. The woman's eyes were full of interest. She wanted to see how far this man could do it.
The red fire dragon was pinched by Ryan's neck, deviated from its original route under Ryan's great force, and was forcibly thrown into the sky by him.
Then the man ignored the scorched blackness of his palm, and immediately turned around to deal with the oncoming ice blast. The spiritual energy shield was fully activated, and the ice blast canceled each other out. Ryan shot white lightning from his hand, shattering the group containing Exploding ice storm.
He has become stronger again... Seeing Ryan blocking two fifth-ring spells with one person, Veronica's eyes lit up, thinking that this is the best, the stronger he is, the more beneficial it will be for my future plans.
"That's enough, you two." After ensuring that the spell would not cause any harm, Ryan finally put away his relaxed expression, and his face became indifferent: "If you like this, you all go back to Sky Dome for inspection Go to the ruins, I can complete the following tasks by myself."
"Two ladies, do you want me to say please?" At the end, Ryan's tone was full of boredom, and both women subconsciously shook their heads.
As soon as Ryan finished speaking, the light of the teleportation spell suddenly appeared next to the street, and soon a man in black robe appeared in the teleportation array, his voice was full of anger and majesty: "Who is using destructive spells in the city?! We have promulgated The decree prohibits the use of destructive spells anywhere in the city except the arena! Please abide by the general rules of casting spells! Otherwise, you will be killed on the spot!"
After finishing speaking, the man in black raised his head and confirmed the figures of the two casters: "It turns out that they are two people from Jialan, Ms. Trovik? Ms. Bernadotte? Didn't Margarita teach you how to cast spells?" General rule?"
The general rules of spellcasting are the conventions that spellcasters must abide by. Because of their powerful and magical powers, spellcasters are generally not restricted by secular rules, but they still have rules that need to be followed. It is forbidden to use destructive spells in human settlements at will. One of the important items.
Seeing the person coming, the two women were startled, and then they realized that this place was Fort Marien. Veronica walked to Ryan first. She first took Ryan's hand, and then moved towards the man in black. Apology: "Sorry, Master Elliott, I was negligent, and I apologize to you."
"I'm sorry, Master Elliott, it was my mistake." Teresa quickly apologized.
"For the sake of Mr. Lane, this is not an example. I really hope that Margarita will treat you congressmen with snacks. This is not the first time." Master Elliot took off his hood, revealing a forty-something With the appearance of a standard refined middle-aged man, he nodded towards Ryan: "Thank you for controlling the situation, Mr. Ryan."
"No, this is what I should do." Ryan sighed: "I should be sorry."
"I have something else to do, Mr. Lane please take care of yourself, the two Garland congresswomen, if this happens again next time, I will put you on the list of unwelcome persons in Marienburg, and then write to Margarita is asking for an explanation." Elliott, the great wizard, teleported away again.
Ryan shook off Veronica's little hand, closed his eyes angrily and said, "Enough trouble?"
Neither woman spoke.
After a while, Veronica spoke: "I've already arranged the teleportation array for you, Trovik, you can go back to Skydome by yourself, and I will take over the affairs here."
"But... I plan to..." The sorceress wanted to say something, she was a little bit reluctant, Teresa originally planned to leave after attending the banquet tomorrow night, so that the two of them could live on Amber Avenue tonight, she planned Impress Lane...
"Please hurry up, Trovik, the teleportation array is ready, it is obviously urgent for the council to call you back, I am here, what are you still worried about?" Veronica said loudly in a sweet voice, that is The voice was indescribably strange, especially the woman's eyes, as if urging Teresa to get out of here.
The three of them walked into the mansion. The mansion was very busy, with many witches and apprentices walking around. When Veronica in a long silk dress walked in, a beautiful female apprentice immediately appeared. Greeting: "Member, I have news from you."
"Catherine, are you in a hurry?" Veronica frowned when she heard the news about herself.
"No hurry, it's a notice from the council." The female apprentice was wearing the standard red witch dress and robe of the Garland Council, revealing her immature face and long golden hair. The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old , the orchid flower on the badge has only three white petals, which shows that she is an ordinary high-level apprentice.
This is also a beauty embryo. It is common sense that the Garland Council prefers to recruit beautiful girls.
"Then wait and see, what about the teleportation array I ordered?" Veronica walked gracefully, and the sound of her high-heeled shoes stepping on the ground was rhythmic.
"It's been ready for a long time, Senator, and it can be launched at any time." The female apprentice carefully followed behind the three of them.
Opening the door of a room on the second floor, a set up teleportation array is already shining, Veronica raised her hand, and the jewelry on her body jingled: "Please, Trovik, you can leave now gone."
"Please go out, Veronica, I have something to say to Ryan alone." Teresa was forced by Veronica to ride a tiger, and the sorceress also knew that she was really not suitable for delaying, and it was a foregone conclusion before leaving She said she wanted to say a few words of farewell to Ryan.
Veronica rolled her eyes, and she gave Ryan a questioning look, Ryan nodded, so the witch made a "cut", turned and walked out of the room.
After closing the door, Veronica did not go far. She stood at the door, listening to the movement inside, while opening the message from the Garland Council.
"Veronica: The council needs your best efforts to win over your partners, all your strength.
—Margarita. "
Surprised or not?
