Chapter 266, a Calm Conversation
In the evening, the rain was still heavy.
In the restaurant of the Dawn Wizard Tower near the Earl's Castle, many apprentice witches were having dinner.
"Ding ding ding" there was a pleasant sound between the cutlery and the dinner plate. A dozen or so witch apprentices ate together. Most of them lowered their heads and sipped white bread, horse sausage, cauliflower and corn ham soup.
Coming to Britannia and accepting the training of Senator Veronica Bernadotte, this is a brand new experience for witch apprentices. When the speaker of the Garland Council, Margarita, issued a notice in Skydome, asking When anyone wants to go to Brittania, more than 70% of the witch apprentices have signed up for themselves.
After strict selection, Margarita finally selected more than a dozen outstanding witch apprentices. At the same time, she also sent two official witches of her own direct line to assist Veronica. After having her own luxurious wizard tower, She already has the qualifications to enter the Inner Ring Presbyterian Church, the only difference is her qualifications.
When they came to the Kingdom of Knights, apprentice witches no longer had to feel the oppressive environment in Skydome. Both the living conditions and the living environment were much better. Skydome was originally built on a mountain of more than 2,000 meters. The life there is really not that good. The low-level witch apprentices have to squeeze into the big bunk at night, that is, everyone in the same room sleeps together.
Veronica is not a good-tempered mentor, or the female councilors of the Garland Council are not tempered, but Veronica, who crawled 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 Teresa?" a witch apprentice whispered.
On the other side of the restaurant, Veronica was eating with Teresa, and the two Garland congresswomen were talking in low tones that didn't look like they were arguing.
"Shh Naomi, keep your voice down, if you offend the congressman, we will be driven back! I don't want to go back to Skydome!" Another witch apprentice also whispered.
The witch apprentices were chatting quietly.
"You guys, hurry up and eat. There are other classes tonight. Gasparton, the earl's tax collector, will give you a math class." Catherine, who was already an official witch, saw many witch apprentices whispering, and said quickly.
However, Catherine really overestimated her majesty. Catherine, who had just advanced to the elite class, looked very immature both in appearance and tone. Her reprimands not only had no effect, but instead caused many apprentices to continue to ask questions.
"Miss Catherine,
What is Senator Veronica doing? "
"Ms. Catherine, will you teach us tomorrow?"
"When can we see His Excellency the Earl? Didn't he say that he will find time to give us lessons and teach us swordsmanship? Why is it that Teacher Doris is in class?"
The apprentices asked questions frequently, making Catherine flustered: "This"
She had to turn to her mentor for help: "Tutor"
"Quiet." Veronica said.
The entire restaurant fell silent immediately. The witch apprentices all lowered their heads and dared not 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 and talk about it."
"It should be like this." Theresa's tear mole at the corner of her eye was cold and compelling.
After a simple dinner, Veronica and Teresa went upstairs one after another. The heavy pressure gradually faded away. The apprentice witches finished their meal in a hurry, and then took the time to rest. In the afternoon, they were sometimes assigned to work or Making all kinds of magic potions, and sometimes taking classes, the witch apprentices only have one day a week to go out. They can go to the town of Ryan, or shut themselves in the room to enjoy some leisure time.
Veronica opened her living room. Among the luxurious decoration in warm tones, high-end sofas made of red-winged wood were placed in the room, and a few magic lamps emitted light yellow light.
"It's raining a lot." The sound of Veronica's high-heeled shoes "dumping" spread all the way to the window. She originally wanted to open the window, but the heavy rain made her give up this action: "Sit down, I want to drink something ?”
"Just drink anything." Teresa didn't take it seriously. She took a look at the decoration in the room, and then made a little comparison with her mother's wizard tower.
The sorceress has to admit that although Veronica's Wizard Tower is not as accumulated over the years as Aurora's Wizard Tower in terms of foundation, but from a luxurious point of view, Veronica has not given up much. Yes, and, as long as it is backed by 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 Teresa: "Hey, try it, it's from Ryan."
"It's a little presumptuous to come to you at night." Teresa picked up the goblet and looked at the indifferent Veronica with butterfly-patterned glasses, her eyes were a little erratic: "But I think we should have a good talk. Talked."
"What does Little Princess Jialan want to talk to me about? It's nothing more than two, either related to Ryan or Elder Aurora." Veronica nodded, and the sweet-looking Witch Jialan looked at the opposite side full of people. Teresa with a glamorous temperament, with a smirk on her face: "Which one do you want to talk about?"
"I want to do both, but first, let me show you this." Teresa took out a piece of parchment.
Veronica took the parchment.
The parchment is a letter from Teresa's mother Aurora to Teresa. The letter agreed to Teresa's request to further strengthen cooperation with Ryan. The letter mentioned about Teresa's wizard tower. La said that she could take out eight thousand gold marks or eight thousand gold crowns to build a wizard tower for her daughter, and she had to raise the rest of the money herself.
Another thing was mentioned in the letter, which was about Veronica's entry into the Inner Ring Presbyterian Church. Aurora did not want Veronica to enter the Presbyterian Church, but because Ryan was too popular, Aurora Said that Veronica has great hopes.
"I am Ryan's woman first, and then Garland's congresswoman. It doesn't make sense to me whether I become an elder now. My wizard tower is here in Ryan's territory, but not in Skydome." Veronica wrinkled brow.
Witch Garland pondered what Teresa meant by taking out the letter.
Veronica positioned herself in the parliament as a contact between Ryan and the Garland Council. After all, Ryan is a warrior and a lord in essence. He definitely needs magical answers, and Veronica can be in His side plays this role.
Being promoted to an elder in the inner ring doesn't mean much to Veronica, because she won't be permanently stationed in Skydome.
Veronica immediately realized that the situation had changed.
A few lights flashed in Teresa's silver eyes: "Veronica, you have been away from the parliament for too long."
Witch Garland's complexion finally changed a bit. Perhaps it was true, as Teresa said, she had really been away from the Garland Council for too long. Ever since she came to Ryan's side, she had thrown all her energy into her wizard tower On the matter with Ryan.
"So, the speaker has reached some agreement with Ms. Aurora?" Teresa noticed the change in Veronica's face, and Teresa raised her long legs in leather pants and boots :"you guess?"
"I'm not interested in playing guessing games with you, Trovik." Veronica said in a deep voice, "Or can our conversation stop here?"
It was raining heavily outside the window. In the dark night, the heavy rain hit the glazed window. The two Jialan congresswomen in the room sat facing each other. The relationship between them was very strange. They were both rivals in love and colleagues. They should understand each other, but they also face the embarrassment of overlapping identities.
"Lian is too good, Miss Veronica Bernadotte." Teresa continued.
Veronica looked up, she knew what Teresa was going to say.
"Let your mother tell me, Trovik, you can't decide." Veronica returned the letter to Teresa: "That's the end of this topic, now let's talk about the next one." question."
Both of them are smart people, some words are enough in half.
"About Ryan's question, Trovik, I think it will be useless for us to continue arguing." Veronica's face was very cold: "But we must first recognize one fact and reach a consensus, that is, I am the first The one with Lane, and I'm the one ahead."
Teresa leaned on the back of the sofa, she nodded calmly: "Yes, I admit it."
"Then we have a basis for talking."
"It's raining heavily, my lady." At night, there was a thick fog by the small pool next to the fairy tower in the lake.
Ryan and the fairy in the lake were walking along the pool. The downpour did not affect the two of them in the slightest. There was a kind of protection around them, and 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 shield of the fairy in the lake is emerald green.
"I said it in private, just call me Lilith." The fairy in the lake's voice was full of indescribable fatigue, she held Ryan's arm: "Ryan, my champion, let's go in and hug me. "
"It should have been so long ago," Ryan said softly.
Today's Fairy in the Lake is wearing a gray Ulthuan High Elf Phoenix King's Court fluorescent velvet vase classical evening dress. Her beautiful face leans 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 master's movements, but this could not conceal her pale face: "Take me to the fourth floor, Ryan."
"Lilith, what's going on? You are so weak now." Ryan asked with some puzzlement as he carried the lake fairy upstairs.
"What else can happen, the elves and gods once again broke out in internal strife, which affected me." The fairy in the lake said helplessly, she shrank into Ryan's arms: "I didn't want to participate in this internal strife, but when When Ulthuan also faced the invasion of Chaos tribes from the north, I had to fight."
Ryan walked steadily. He carried the fairy of the lake all the way up to the fourth floor, and the two of them sat down on an armchair.
"A northern barbarian army that believes in Chaos invaded the Kingdom of Kosquey in the north of Ulthuan. The leader is Prince Sigvald, the champion of Slaanesh's god-chosen beauty. Go up and land." The fairy in the lake leaned palely on Ryan's shoulder, and by the way played with Ryan's black hair with her pale jade fingers.
"I don't believe that the high elves can't deal with a 6,000-strong barbarian invasion army." Ryan looked at the heavy rain outside: "We know exactly how powerful the high elves are."
"It's because the enemy is too weak that the elves and gods didn't take it seriously at all." The fairy in the lake was full of complaints: "Asuryan will always sit on the throne of the phoenix, except for Kai, the god of blood hands. En's war, he is indifferent to everything, the eternal queen Alarielle is holding another conference to encourage fertility in Avalon, thousands of elves are holding a grand fertility party inside, whether it is the hunter Kunos The mother goddess Isa is still addicted to it, and she doesn't care about the war outside. The white lion guards of Charis only care about their own territory and the safety of the Phoenix King and the Eternal Queen. Tyrann Locke and Nagareth are still fighting Truzzi waged a desperate war that lasted thousands of years."
"At the council of the gods, all the gods were blaming each other, but none of the gods were willing to come forward, so when Princess Etila, who was in charge of defending against foreign enemies, asked me for help, I had no choice but to come forward."
Ryan thought that the same is true within the elves, each family cleans the door by itself, regardless of whether others live or die.
"I heard that the Phoenix King is responsible for integrating the power of all the kingdoms of the high elves?" Ryan had to ask tentatively.
"One Piece Finnuba'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 fairy in the lake looked at the heavy rain outside her tower, her voice It was like a dream: "He completely handed over the power of the Phoenix King to dispatch the army to the descendants of Tyrion and Teclis, and appointed them as the guardians of Ulthuan."
"And what about Tyrion and Teclis?" Lion continued.
"Tyrion is attending the Fertility Conference held by the Eternal Queen." The fairy in the lake kissed Ryan on the face with soft cherry lips, and said helplessly: "He is the partner of the Eternal Queen and the champion of the Eternal Queen , the relationship between him and the Eternal Queen is just like the relationship between me and you."
"" Ryan said that he had nothing to say, he thought for a while, and said strangely: "No, I remember that every generation of Eternal Queen and Phoenix King are husband and wife?"
By the way, aren't you high elves afraid of attracting Slaanesh if you do this?
"Yes." The fairy in the lake smiled charmingly, her body exuded a strong fragrance of irises: "But does this have anything to do with the Eternal Queen's partner?"
"The Eternal Queen and the Phoenix King can still have their own partners after they are married?" Ryan complained strangely: "Fenubar actually appointed Tyrion as the guardian of Ulthuan?"
"Hahahaha" the fairy in the lake smiled coquettishly. She stretched out her slender jade finger and tapped Ryan's face: "Ryan, my champion, the elves don't have that kind of concept. Living with the Eternal Queen for one year guarantees the birth of the next generation of the Eternal Queen, and then they have always lived their own lives, and each has a lot of partners. In fact, in the heavenly system, apart from me, the moon, dreams and destiny, and the pure girl Except for the requirements that God and the lake nymph Lilith have on her followers, 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 fairy in the lake, and poured psionic energy into her to help her recover.
"By the way, before enjoying this night, I will give this to you." The fairy in the lake suddenly remembered something, and she took out a necklace from between her plump chest.
The necklace is made of platinum diamonds, the favorite of the high elves, and at the top of the necklace, inside the black bead, a beautiful nebula swirls.
"This is?" 9
