At the end of Winter Veil, Lane and Surya teamed up to do a few things.
The first thing is that Ryan officially accepted Sylvia as his third female courtier. This matter was facilitated by Suria. Sylvia bought a wedding dress and asked Sylvia's father Vincent to come to the scene, and went through a complete process. In this way, Sylvia has obtained a protected identity and an official female courtier status.
On the second day after the rally, Sylvia, the Iron Maiden who never rested, was forced to ask Suria to take a few days off to recuperate before she could barely walk.
The second thing is that the third turkey banquet was held in the Duke's castle. This time, Emilia and Veronica were absent from the banquet. The fairy of the lake gave a speech at the turkey banquet, emphasizing that about nine months later , Ryan will ascend the throne in Korona, facing new opportunities and challenges in the new historical period, we must seize the opportunity of the times, achieve a "soft landing" in Ryan's backyard, and never allow anyone to mix into their group , and will never allow Ryan to have any chance to go out, and must be strictly controlled from physiology to psychology.
The proposal was passed unanimously at the meeting.
The third thing is that after discussing with Teresa, Aurora and Teresa finally decided to agree to Ryan's proposal to establish a new intelligence department. Musilon, Courona, Lyonnasay, Winford, and Nur set up branches, and Aurora will send some of her witches to sneak into these cities to carry out intelligence work.
After the three things were dealt with, Ryan set off for Veronica's Dawn Wizard Tower, wanting to see how Veronica was doing.
At this time, the Dawn Wizard Tower was already a little crowded. Obviously, the wealth and comfort of Ryan's territory far surpassed the harsh environment of Sky Castle, and when building the Dawn Wizard Tower, Veronica put all her own money into it. The cost, both the living environment and the working environment are top-notch, so many witch apprentices try their best to come to Veronica to study here.
The appearance of Ryan triggered the screams of the witch apprentices. A group of little lolis wore fiery red robes and small leather boots, showing immature faces that were flushed red from the cold. They surrounded Ryan, as if because of The reason for Veronica's absence is that these witch apprentices are particularly bold, huddled together, vying to introduce themselves, wanting to tell Ryan his name, and even secretly slipping a small note with his dormitory room number, Ryan had to She roared to signal everyone to get out of the way, and then found Veronica's personal apprentice, Catherine, who is now an official witch of the Department of Light.
"Catherine, where's Veronica?" Ryan asked directly.
"The instructor is retreating on the top floor, attacking the sanctuary." When Catherine first came to Britannia, she was still a shy blond beauty, and now she is a mature official witch. Ryan could even vaguely see him and Vivian. Ronika's déjà vu when they met for the first time: "Can you take me there?"
"...Please come with me." Catherine hesitated a little, but nodded in agreement. She turned around and signaled Ryan to follow her upstairs.
Ryan didn't say anything else. He followed Catherine closely. After entering the Dawn Wizard Tower, there were still groups of witch apprentices following Ryan, pointing and looking at Ryan with adoring and fascinated eyes. , as if looking at a plate of delicious food and some kind of treasure, Ryan felt like he was on his back.
If a wizard wants to get ahead, the most important thing is resources, and there are generally only two sources of resources.
The first is provided by the mentor. For example, although Veronica was poor before, she was valued by the Speaker Margarita.
Received her personal guidance and was allowed to enter her private library to borrow books, so at least there is no problem with knowledge reserves and spell reserves.
The second is provided by the nobles. For example, Ryan provided enough money and a lot of manpower and material resources for Veronica, and personally invited Teclis to teach, and bought elves from the White Tower of Heth in the Kingdom of Safrui at a high price. of magic.
If you have resources, you may not be able to raise a sanctuary witch, but if you don't have resources, you will not be able to raise a sanctuary witch.
Since the mentor is so successful, the apprentices naturally want to copy the path of the mentor, but it is a pity that Ryan is alone. When Ryan himself followed Catherine to the sixth floor, the witch apprentices had to stop here, because the seventh and eighth floors are In Veronica's private area, the stairwell from the sixth floor to the seventh floor was sealed by an iron door. Seeing this, Catherine said to Ryan: "Please wait here, Your Excellency, I will go get the key."
"I have the key." Ryan took out a large magic key from his body.
Catherine was startled when she saw this. She pursed her lips. Ryan had a key which shocked her a little. When she saw Ryan, she used the key to open the door. Catherine had to follow Ryan upstairs: "Your Excellency Ryan, please don't be so anxious , the mentor is attacking the sanctuary, it is not suitable for you to enter at this time."
"Then when should I come in, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ryan frowned slightly, and he felt a little abnormal from Catherine's behavior.
"In about 20 minutes, once the energy tide passes, you can go up to see the situation of the tutor." Catherine said in a low voice: "Please wait a while, Duke, in the tutor's office, and I will prepare."
"Okay." Ryan really doesn't know much about magic, and he doesn't know how wizards break through the sanctuary. Teresa mentioned her situation a few days ago. Warlocks must be condensed if they want to break through to the sanctuary. And strengthen her own blood, and then purify the blood, Teresa is now distressed because she can't find a way to condense her blood.
While Catherine was going out, Ryan carefully looked inside Veronica's office.
A huge cherry wood desk is full of various documents, as well as some exquisite props, a fountain pen imported from the high elves - different from ordinary quill pens, this pen can dispense ink evenly for a long time, many The imperial nobles were proud of owning it, and there was nothing being written on the table. It could be seen that although Catherine was cleaning it carefully, Veronica hadn't used this table for a long time.
There are a large number of magic books on the side shelf. Ryan took a look at it a little bit. The most read by Veronica is "The Complete Book of Light of Haixi" written by Wolan, the chief wizard of the royal family in the first generation of the empire, and written by Tiger. "Analysis of the Origin of Magic" written by Rhys, the golden picture "The Root of Chaos" written by the Lord of Humanity himself, in addition to "The Fire of Aksha" and "Self-cultivation of the White Robe Wizard" are Veronie I like to read the card, and there are a lot of sticky notes on it.
In addition, Veronica also has a private storage room of her own. If the books in it are taken out, they will be looted by wizards. In this world, printing is a technology that will be corrupted. Books printed using movable type printing will be directly corrupted by Tzeentch if they are not under the protection of the church or wizards. Therefore, the production of magic can only be carried out in wizard workshops or churches, and there must be a powerful wizard himself Writing, mass production of magic is a very troublesome thing, and most wizards can only borrow it.
"Well, she still likes this kind of high-end leather sofa and carpet made of bearskin." Ryan carefully looked at the office with an area of about 40 square meters, and there were three copper shelves placed on top of the high-grade bearskin carpet , the top of each copper shelf is a transparent glass ball placed on a criss-cross gold base, and Veronica's magic power is contained in the glass ball.
"This is a telescope. Obviously Veronica ordered a new set." Ryan bent down to check Veronica's magic props: "I remember that this is a communication tool used by the Garland witches. It is said that it can Contact Sky Dome directly from here... let me try how to activate this thing?"
Ryan stretched out his hand, held it on the transparent glass ball, and wanted to try to use the telescope, but he obviously didn't know how to operate it, and such a magic tool also recognized that Ryan was not its owner, and it angrily resisted Ryan The operation, with the scorching surface and the sound of metal rubbing resisted being used by Ryan.
The soul of the machine is unhappy!
"Well, I won't move you anymore, I won't move you anymore." Ryan had no choice but to withdraw his hand, and the telescope seemed to know that Ryan had a close relationship with the owner, and after Ryan retracted his hand, it also returned to calm.
"Then what does this hold?" Ryan then opened another cabinet.
Inside is a whole cabinet of high-heeled shoes and high-heeled boots, in various colors and varieties, and almost all of them are stilettos over five centimeters. High heels, besides I like them, she also thinks they help her build her confidence and show her beauty."
There was a large husky doll in the corner of the office. Ryan walked over and picked up the fluffy husky doll made of real wolf fur: "Oh, my first gift, she still accepted it." Well, when I took her back to Norman’s Autergne Castle for the first time for the Winter Veil Festival, we sat in front of the fireplace and ate the apple pie made by my mother. When she saw this doll, she insisted that I give it to her.”
"Your Excellency the Duke?" Catherine's voice came from outside the door. Seeing this, Ryan put down the doll, but after seeing the witch's attire, Ryan only felt the veins on his head throbbing.
In just ten minutes, Catherine took off her original fiery red robe, and replaced the witch's long skirt with a red plaid pleated skirt twenty centimeters above the knee, paired with thick black pantyhose and Brown leather boots, a white blouse with a red bow tie on the neckline, Catherine, who is already an official witch, couldn't stop her expectant gaze: "Well, Your Excellency, the tutor may not be so fast, do you want to... ...take a break in the office first?"
"..." Ryan squinted, thinking that if Veronica knew about you like this, you wouldn't know how to die.
"That...Your Excellency the Duke?" Seeing Ryan staring at her, Catherine couldn't help but feel secretly happy. She tentatively said, "If you have no objections, I can sit with you for a while..."
"No, no, just tell me the specific method and time." Ryan waved his hand: "Go and do your business."
"...Yes." Catherine couldn't help but be disappointed. She slowly explained the matter to Ryan, and then stepped back. Seeing that Ryan still had no words to persuade her to stay, she had no choice but to close the door and go out.
Lane sighed. He knew how popular he was, but he was very content with the status quo.
Catherine told Ryan how to go upstairs and how to open Veronica's room. When Ryan saw this, he went upstairs immediately. The wizard tower on the eighth floor was Veronica's private magic workshop and a place to practice magic.
Now, the heavy metal door made of dwarven magic-proof runes is firmly closed. According to Catherine, after Veronica is closed, the door cannot be opened from the outside, but can only be opened from the inside.
Obviously, Veronica's plan is not to stop until she breaks through the sanctuary.
Ryan checked the door, and there was no sign of damage. Due to the influence of the dwarves' forbidden magic runes, he couldn't feel how Veronica's magic power is now. Whether she is close to success or has the possibility of failure, Ryan? I can't feel it, thinking that Veronica is inside, Ryan can't help feeling a little anxious.
What happened? It has been closed for almost a year, and there is no news at all.
After thinking for a while, Ryan decided to reach out and knock on the door a few times: "Veronica? Honey?"
"Honey? I'm here to see you." Ryan knocked on the door a few times again.
There is no reaction in the room.
"Damn, what's going on." Ryan wanted to reach out and knock on the door, but he was afraid that Veronica would be interrupted by himself when she was concentrating and would be backlashed. A sense of irritability and powerlessness rose in Ryan's heart. He looked at the closed door and stomped his feet, feeling that the whole thing was strange.
After waiting in place for more than half an hour, seeing no movement inside, Ryan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He moved his gaze to a position on the gate of the forbidden magic rune. There was a small window above this position. Catherine gave Only in the most urgent case, Veronica allowed Catherine to open the small window.
Ryan hesitated for a few minutes with the key, and finally decided to use the key to open the small window: "Veronica?"
Looking into the house through the small window, it is simply a purgatory formed by flames and light. Hundreds of magical energies are flying around in disorder, bouncing and jumping on the wall, the too bright light and The scorching temperature made Ryan have to retract his head as soon as he approached. It took a few seconds for the fairy in the lake to adapt to the high temperature and strong light, and he looked into the house again.
Veronica's figure loomed among the flames and light.
"Veronica? Can you hear it?" Ryan yelled inside again, but Veronica seemed to be immersed in the way of arcana, and she didn't respond at all, closing her eyes as if she was meditating.
Ryan yelled a few more times, but there was still no response. The Duke was a little disappointed. It seemed that this time he returned in vain.
But just when Ryan was about to reach out to close the small window and turn around to leave, something happened suddenly!
A whole hurricane-like airflow exploded from the gap in the small window, and the gate of the forbidden magic rune opened instantly, and the oncoming explosion shock wave blew out Ryan who was caught off guard, and directly hit the wall of the wizard tower , as if going crazy, scurrying around with the wind, devouring everything recklessly, burning the entire environment outside the house into scorched black!
"Boom!" Ryan's whole body hit the wall like a shell, and then fell directly to the ground. The burning pain and the feeling of shifting internal organs made him cry out in pain. Fortunately, his physical fitness was amazing, and he exerted himself Taking a deep breath, Ryan immediately stood up and pulled out Nemesis: "Veronica! It's me, what's going on?!"
"L...en?" Veronica's exhausted voice came from the ruins of the training room: "Is it you... outside?"
"That's right, it's me!" Ryan heard Veronica's voice and immediately put away the Nemesis, carefully approaching the room with black smoke: "I'm here, dear, what's the matter?"
"I... lost... and almost... I can't come back." Veronica looked extremely weak, she was lying on the ground, her hair was messy, and her dress was full of damage and burnt marks: " It is the evil god, the demon of fate woven by Tzeentch has disturbed my perception, and my soul has been trapped in the void for months."
"Damn! I knew it!" Ryan ran quickly and picked up Veronica: "Damn Tzeentch! I will make him pay the price!"
"I succeeded, Ryan. At the most critical moment, I heard... heard your voice, I heard you calling my name." Veronica leaned weakly on Ryan: "I feel Arrived, the matrix of orderly light spots, I know, it is you, you came, I found the direction to leave."
"I succeeded, Ryan, I have advanced to the Sanctuary!" Still looking for free novels of "Warhammer God Throne"? Baidu direct search: "Yikan Novels" Reading novels is very easy! (=Easy Kan Novels)
