Chapter 290, Jialan Gathering (Part 2)

When Teresa Trovik walked in from the door, both Noel and Phyllis were very surprised. Veronica and Teresa are undoubtedly the two brightest girls in Garland's younger generation. Nova, but because of this, the relationship between Veronica and Teresa can be said to be extremely bad. The contradictions between the two are well known in the parliament, and they have been punished for conflicts many times.

However, seeing Teresa's appearance, Veronica didn't seem too surprised. She said calmly, "You are here."

"You knew I'd come over." Teresa pulled a bench and sat in the room without hesitation.

"Sure." Veronica didn't seem to want to say more on this issue, she shook her head, "What does our little princess want to say to me has anything to do with him?"

Teresa raised her pretty crescent eyebrows, and she understood what Veronica meant.

The fragile peace between Veronica and Teresa is completely dependent on Ryan. Veronica's implication is that I will only communicate with you about Ryan, and you don't need to come to me for other things , I'm also not interested.

"Are you free to have dinner together tonight?" Teresa didn't answer Veronica's topic, instead, she offered her own invitation.

A somewhat ridiculous invitation, at least the two congresswomen present, Noel and Phyllis, did not quite understand it.

Teresa and her mother have a lot of influence in the Garland Council. Veronica used to avoid it, but now she has her own man to support her and can ignore it. Noel and Phyllis have no choice. The legendary witch's temper will be milder, "Anyway, let's have a glass of juice first, Miss Trovik, since you are here, you are a guest."

"That's right, Trovik, sit down first, we're discussing about Nord." Veronica also didn't answer whether she agreed to have dinner together, and she changed the topic casually.

Teresa knew she agreed.

There are indeed some things that need to be discussed between the two people. Instead, they are now in an advanced and retreating relationship. However, just like their previous bad relationship, it is complicated and painful to re-understand and reach a consensus. Veronica's pride , she will never take the initiative to extend an olive branch, because she doesn't need it.

Teresa used to be too.

However, the situation has changed, and now Veronica has the advantage. Teresa realizes that if she continues to be proud like this, she will suffer in the end.

Because from Ryan's attitude, it can be seen that the champion of the Fairy in the Lake does not have a deep feeling for Teresa, and he will accept himself,

Will promise to be responsible only because of my own efforts.

This connection is fragile.

After thinking about it, Teresa decided to let go of her useless pride and offered an olive branch to Veronica. She knew that Veronica was a smart person and would understand what it meant.

Teresa sat down, and she tried to join the topic, "What happened to the Nord Kingdom recently? I heard that the army of the Scalins tribe went south again, but was beaten back by the Nord army."

"It's not that simple." Phyllis's voice was a bit dull, "The Scalins tribe broke through the northern port, and all two thousand defenders were killed. General Gesher led a thousand Nord troops to support them, and they were all wiped out until The king led a large army to repel the entire barbarian tribe in Hackendorf. After the attack was frustrated, the Scalins tribe unexpectedly chose to give up and calmly retreated with a large amount of spoils, leaving behind countless destroyed villages and farmland."

This legendary witch of the death department and the shadow department was a little sad. Her husband died in the defense of Hackendorf.

"Scalins Tribe" Teresa knew about this tribe. This tribe has a history of more than two thousand years. It existed in the world before Charlemagne established his empire. After the chaos came, this tribe also chose to believe Gods of Chaos.

The greatest leader ever produced by Scalins was Svenga, a champion warrior who was blessed by the four gods of chaos at the same time. A terrible barbarian chieftain fell to the hands of Marcus, the first Duke of Boldro, who was also the twelve first Holy Grail Knights, and died in Britannia.

"Nord suffered heavy losses in this war, while our emperor fought a civil war in the south with Britannia, and it is said that he won, but who cares? Nord is very weak now." The life-type witch Noel also said " Just when the kingdom focused its attention on the north, the border villages in the south were devastated, the Beastman tribe attacked everywhere to seize food for the winter, a dozen villages along the Drakewald Forest were destroyed, and thousands of people died tragically."

"Is there no response from the direction of White Wolf City?" Teresa frowned.

The actions of the northern barbarians and the Beastmen simply echoed each other.

The Drakewald Forest is the largest forest in the empire, covering an area of ​​millions of square kilometers, spanning five empire provinces, and its area alone is half the size of the entire Britannia. The forest is full of beastmen Tribes, green-skin tribes, chaotic cultists, there are only some human villages along the rivers and in areas close to the roads and hills. Humans and the monsters in the forest have been fighting for thousands of years, and this battle will never end, because The forest will never be cleared, and the Beastmen and Greenskins will be beaten back again and again, but they always come back.

"The Beastmen want to eat more,

The lords wanted to build higher walls,

We build walls, they eat.

let's pray

We build walls high enough,

Beastmen eat enough.

Or the beastmen will eat us. "

empire north nursery rhyme high walls and

The most eye-catching one is the battle between the White Wolf Elector "One-Eyed" Boris Todbringer and the Beastman "One-Eyed" Kazik. During the battle, both sides lost one eye each and swore Quickly kill the opponent.

More than 70% of the province of Middenland is covered by Drakewald, and less than 30% of the territory that humans can control is divided and fragmented. In Hawkland, there are only some villages and cities along the Talabek River in the south. , the north is almost completely covered by forests and mountains, and even the capital, Herzig, is often threatened by the Beastmen and Chaos warbands, and is often in a state of combat readiness.

"Yes, the monks of the Order of the Wolves and a small number of white wolf knights led the patrol battalion to drive several Beastman gangs back to the forest, which ensured that the Beastmen did not cause more damage." Veronica also said Frowning, she held some letters in her hand. "Not only that, Hawkland is also facing harassment from the Beastmen and the Chaos War Gang from the Central Mountain Range. Recently, the dark forces have been acting more and more frequently."

Veronica nodded slowly, and Witch Garland thought that luckily the domain of Ryan's adoptive father Norman, Autergne, was close to White Wolf City, so it was relatively safe.

This topic is very serious, and several female councilors didn't want to talk about it anymore, Phyllis forced a smile and said, "By the way, Veronica, I heard that you are in the Earl of Glamorgan, and you never have to worry about security issues. "

"Ryan is too strong, and so is his army. Beastmen and green skins have always killed as many as possible." Teresa answered this question proactively, as if asking for credit. Men and greenskin tribes, beheading thousands."

Ryan has made countless achievements along the way, and he has the ability to do it. Both Noel and Phyllis doubt that he has it. Even among the powerful older generations of the empire, there are very few who can be compared with Ryan.

"The situation in Brittania is different from that of the Empire. There are many Holy Grail Knights there, and the most powerful Holy Grail Knight can even repel a small Beastman warband by himself, so the law and order will be relatively better." Veronica said something fair, but everyone could still see the joy on her brow.

It's nice to have a reliable man.

After chatting for a while, both Noel and Phyllis decided to leave. They could see that Teresa and Veronica had something to say, "Then let's go first, Veronica, we will definitely go back and visit your house when we have a chance. Wizard Tower."

"Of course, I'm welcome at any time, thank you, Noel, Fei Li." Veronica started, and she gave two gifts, which were wood elf perfume and soft armor made by dwarves. "Please accept it."

"Thank you." The two witches didn't refuse. They knew Veronica's character, and Noel and Phyllis both happily accepted the gift. Wood elves' things were extremely rare in the empire.

After Noel and Phyllis closed the door and went out, Veronica looked at the closed door and turned around, with a faint smile on her sweet face, and a gleam of interest in her beautiful almond eyes, "You will take the initiative to come I was more than expected to find me, Trovik."

"I think there is a need for communication between us, Veronica." Teresa looked at Veronica's room, which was very shabby, with almost no valuables except a few clothes and a few books .

However, the sorceress immediately realized that Veronica had transferred all her property to the Dawn Wizard Tower. She coughed a little twice to cover up her little embarrassment, "Ahem, congratulations on entering the Presbyterian Council."

"This is really not something you would say, Trovik." Veronica looked a little sarcastic, and Witch Garland looked up and down Teresa's clothes before saying, "Leather jacket, tight leather pants, You really have the demeanor of a strong man, very good, very suitable for you."

This sounded like a compliment, but Teresa always felt that she could hear sarcasm and gunpowder in it. The sorceress retorted, "Garland doesn't believe in tears. We are all independent individuals. You don't have to use these words to mock me. I like wearing clothes." What clothes are my business."

"Yes, that's right, it's your business." Veronica continued sarcastically, "Then why doesn't our Miss Trovik become a completely independent individual? Just be independent, you What kind of man do you want? You want men, they are everywhere, why are you staring at my man?"

"Lian is not yours." Teresa stood up subconsciously, with a little anger in her words, "At best, you two know each other first."

"Oh, you also know that Ryan and I met first." Veronica didn't bother to argue with Teresa anymore. It's a confused account of who these two women stole from whom, and it's hard to figure it out " Why don't you know a little bit of shame, my little princess?"

Teresa could only feel the blood rushing to her brain. Veronica, a woman who crawled out of the army of apprentice witches, spoke extremely sharply, every word was like a knife, but she didn't utter a single dirty word.

However, the sorceress calmed down instead, "I didn't come to you to argue with you, I know you want to piss me off, and I won't be pissed off by you."

Now it was Veronica's turn to be surprised.

"I can't tell, Trovik, you still have progress." After looking carefully at Teresa for a few times, Veronica nodded, "I will not accept a person who is irritable and overly proud to be with me. Discuss things, but from now on, Ryan has indeed changed you to some extent."

"People are always changing, active and passive." Teresa shook her head, she stood up, "Do you have anything else to do next? We can go to the restaurant in Ilona to have dinner together tonight."

"I'm going to see Elder Carolina first." Veronica picked up her small bag, "You can go to see Carolina with me, or you can wait for me at the restaurant in Ilona."

"Then I'll go with you." Theresa got up, and the two witches left the room together.

The corridors paved with boulders were filled with the voices of witches and witch apprentices. Sky Dome was holding a big rally recently, and people were coming and going. The appearance of Veronica and Teresa did not attract enough attention from everyone, because During this period of time, the witches would engage in countless social activities and negotiations with each other. It was a period full of intrigue, whispers in the secluded pavilion, and many trysts and romantic encounters.

"Why are you going to see Elder Carolina? That's not a good person to get along with." Teresa's high-heeled boots were rattling, and the sorceress didn't seem to understand this matter.

Carolina is a Sanctuary Grand Wizard born in the northern part of the empire, and she is also one of the only three Sanctuary Grand Wizards in the Garland Council.

However, this death-type and alchemy-type female sanctuary wizard is not as easy to get along with as Margarita or Aurora. She is a eccentric and gloomy witch. Going out, only when facing extreme troubles or important matters, will she take her apprentices out of her laboratory and bring destruction to the enemy.

"She has something to ask me to find Ryan." Veronica frowned, and the sound of her heels hitting the ground was very rhythmic. Sturt came to the Garland Council, and he seems to have been ordered by Emperor Karl Franz to go to the north of the Linsk River to investigate the movements of the troll kingdom and the barbarians in Norsca."

"The strongest demon hunter in the legend of Ernst, the powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Sanctuary" Teresa felt ashamed when she heard this name. Ernst has been famous in the old world for hundreds of years. He was born in the era of the Three Emperors and experienced The Vampire Wars and the Great Holy War, live on till now.

This is a living myth, an immortal epic, how could he suddenly come to Garland Council

"Could it be"
