Although Veronica had to leave the Sky Castle a day or two in advance, and used the teleportation array to teleport directly to Marienburg, Veronica was not in a hurry to return to Britannia. She and several Gloria under her command
The female congressmen simply went shopping in Marienburg and took advantage of this opportunity to buy
Buy, Veronica is now the female elder of the Gloria Council. She has gained rich harvests during the expedition to the Eight Peaks Mountains. Coupled with Belegar's gift and a series of gains brought by the Dawn Wizard Tower, Veronika
Nica does have a very generous sum of money and a large amount of magic reserves on hand.
As the chief female courtier of Lane's court, Veronica was naturally welcomed by Marienburg Grand Duke Van der Cooper-Schulz after arriving in Marienburg. Marienburg, who repeatedly opposed Lane during the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition,
The merchants in the trenches were also shocked, and they almost forgot about this matter!
The revenge of the kingdom of dwarves and knights has not come yet!
The big trench merchants were panicking when they thought of this. To these big trench merchants in Marienburg, the dwarves were a group of people who could not be bought off with bribes and favors. They really couldn't figure out the people from Belega.
When will revenge come?
At this time, the only way to find out is by trying to please His Majesty Lane's chief female courtier.
Therefore, Veronica will receive warm hospitality from all the merchants wherever she goes during this period. The magic scrolls and magic accessories she sells are also famous for their good quality and practicality, and have won the favor of everyone in Marienburg.
If Veronica didn't know very well that she was relying on Ryan's tiger skin, she might have really grown in popularity.
In this way, Veronica stayed in Marienburg for a while. While she purchased a large amount of various magic ores, alchemical materials and luxuries loved by witches, she also sold off a large amount of her magic potions, enchanted equipment and enchanted jewelry.
Subsequently, a clipper ship from Ostermark also arrived at Marienburg. Since it was a journey along the Talabek River to the Reik River and then to Marienburg, and Hertwig chose
The emperor made arrangements well, so the speed was very fast.
Aurora and Teresa brought shocking news. The Glory Council was almost completely destroyed, Sky Castle was destroyed, the female elder Carolina rebelled, and the Demon Hunter Supreme Master Ernst was killed in battle. Gloriosa
Speaker Margarita died in the battle, and more than a thousand witches finally escaped. Counting Veronica's side, there were only about two hundred left.
Veronica immediately realized that she could no longer spend time in Marienburg. The Witch of Gloria immediately stated that she must go to Britannia immediately to find Ryan. At this time, the response must be quick. Veronica told everyone that this time
The only choice 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 was still a dispute over who would lead the remaining strength of the Gloria Council. Aurora tried to unite more female congressmen and rely on her own old
Seniority allows Veronica to temporarily take orders from her.
As for who should be handed over to handle the legacy that the Jialan Council finally rescued, those precious artifacts, those precious magic books and ancient classics, it is also an unresolved question.
And Veronica's answer was straightforward: "We shouldn't listen to anyone else, we should all listen to Ryan."
After saying that, Veronica gave up the argument with Aurora. She hired a Marienburg sailboat with the witches who supported her and set off immediately to Bordello.
Aurora and Teresa also took the remaining witches, hired a Marienburg galleon from Marienburg, and headed towards Bordeaux.
It took about three weeks, and when it came to late April, the spring season in Brittany, the two large sailing ships finally arrived at the port of Bordeaux, just above the Mannann dry dock, coming from Marin
The fort's large sailing ships slowly entered the harbor one after another.
Veronica was wearing a pure white dress from the royal court of Britannia. After suffering such a huge blow, the Witch of Gloria couldn't help but feel very depressed. After she learned that her mentor Margarita had died in the war,
She couldn't stop crying. No matter what, Margarita finally recognized her as her personal apprentice, and taught Veronica her last secret magic and ways of doing things. It was more or less true to Veronica's feelings.
I mourned the death of my mentor endlessly.
But there is no doubt that Veronica is a strong person. She has recovered quickly now. Although she is still a little depressed, Veronica still managed a smile towards her personal apprentice Catherine: "Look, Catherine
, Lord Calard has come to pick you up at the Bordeaux dock."
"Mentor!" Catherine blushed immediately as Veronica squeezed her. She said a little embarrassedly, "Maybe Mr. Kalad came here just by chance."
"Don't be ridiculous, Catherine, don't we know where Lord Kalad's territory is? How could he happen to be passing by?" Veronica joked, and she quickly noticed something else.
The pier has been cleared, and the Lake God Witch Morgiana appears on the pier riding the unicorn Sylphan. Behind her is a team of eighteen Holy Grail guards, all of whom are fully armed.
After the eight Holy Grail guards, there are hundreds of Poseidon knights and the Mannann Guards, the elite infantry of Bordero. This infantry is composed of Bordero people who participated in the Great Expedition of Eight Peaks Mountain. It was integrated and strengthened by Duke Boderick.
With firearms and new training, the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
Veronica felt that something was wrong. After the ship docked, the Witch of Gloria quickly stepped up to lift her skirt and stepped on the pedal to get off the ship. Morgiana's face was calm and slightly sympathetic: "Thank you for your hard work, Veronica, I'll let you know."
We all know it.”
"Thank you for coming to pick me up at the dock in person, Your Highness Morgiana." Veronica sighed softly: "Where is Ryan?"
"Ryan and Sulia are still on their way back from Musilon." The relationship between the Lake God Witch and Veronica cannot be said to be very good, but overall it is good. They have one thing in common, that
He always likes to put Ryan's interests as his first consideration and can achieve
With the consensus and Veronica's intention to maintain and win over her, Morgiana also knew how favored Veronica was, and there was still harmony between the two: "He is the King of Knights and has a lot to deal with.
As soon as the matter with Mu Silon was settled, he led his people and rushed here."
"That's it." Veronica was a little disappointed. The Witch of Gloria finally landed on land and naturally wanted to see her man as soon as possible, vent her grievances to him, and longed for Ryan's comfort: "Okay, I also
I don’t want to stay in Borderodo anymore, so go to Jean City quickly. I want to settle all the witches, and then think carefully about the future of the Gloria Council."
"You will have a lot of time." Morgiana said lightly. She set her sights on Aurora, Theresa and others who were docking at another place not far away. The eyes of the Lake God Witch gradually flickered.
of fire and light: "I said it, and I will take action, now!"
"Lady's knights!" Morgiana raised the potion chalice in her hand, and the Lake God Witch suddenly pointed at the ship Aurora and Teresa were riding on: "Soldiers of Bordero, listen to my orders.
!”
"Yes!" The Holy Grail guards, led by Kalad, responded loudly. The knights of the goddess will always obey her orders.
"Take down everyone on that ship!" Morgiana suddenly said.
"What?" Karad and Veronica both jumped at Morgiana's order. Everyone hesitated for a moment. Before Veronica could ask why, Morgiana repeated: "Cara
De, didn't you hear my order?"
"Yes!" For the Holy Grail Knight, the order of the Lake Witch is absolute, because she is the incarnation of the Lake Fairy's will in the mortal world. Only Ryan, who is the winner of the Lake Fairy's selection, can be compared. Kalad listened.
After receiving Morgiana's emphasis, he no longer hesitated. He immediately led the Holy Grail Knights and strode forward, rushing towards Aurora and others who had just disembarked and were about to unload the cargo!
"Hands up!"
"Put down your weapons, put down your wand!"
"Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"
A dozen Holy Grail knights led a large group of Poseidon knights and Mannann guards and rushed directly towards Aurora and Teresa at the same time. Before Aurora could react to what happened, Kalad had already rushed towards them.
Arriving in front of her, the Holy Witch subconsciously chanted an ice shield, but Kalad directly swung his sword to chop the newly condensed ice shield into pieces.
The next second, the blade of the divine sword Durandal was pressed against Aurora's neck. Kalad controlled the force and said: "I'm sorry, Ms. Aurora, and Ms. Teresa!"
Caught off guard, all the witches of Gloriosa who survived the destruction of the Celestial Castle were captured without any help, and were armed with weapons. Aurora's face changed drastically, and her neck was already held by the swords of Kalad and another Holy Grail Knight.
.
A minute later, the scene became quiet, and dozens of witches were held on the ground, kneeling unable to move. Morgiana was obviously serious about her actions.
"You have been arrested, witches." Morgiana rode the unicorn Sylphan slowly from a distance: "Now, kneel down, relax, don't resist, otherwise I can't guarantee what your outcome will be.
.”
The Holy Witch, who was well aware of the Holy Grail Knight's super high magic resistance and exquisite skills, had no choice but to tell everyone not to resist, and then roared at Morgiana who was giving orders in the distance: "Morgiana! Are you crazy? What are you doing?
How could you do this? We are here to defect to Ryan! You have no power to arrest and try an MI7 director personally appointed by the king! 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 last of the Gloria Council.
You have no right to do this to us! You must have made a mistake!"
"Yes, I have no right to arrest you, the head of MI7, and a female courtier of Ryan." Morgiana's green eyes were filled with cold anger: "But I can try two traitors.
!And a group of witches corrupted by Chaos!"
"Traitors? When did we betray the country?" Aurora looked a little embarrassed. She raised her head suddenly: "Where is the evidence? If we are traitors, please provide evidence, otherwise I will sue you in the Kingdom Court!"
"Evidence?" Morgiana sneered, and the Lake God Witch said directly: "I don't need evidence in this country, but since you want to see it, I will show you the evidence you want, this is Empire Oster
Do you want to know what is written in the letter written by His Excellency Hertwig, the Speaker of the Mark Union and Elector Hertwig, to Ryan? Ms. Aurora, Ms. Theresa? Do you want me to read it to you?"
The expressions of the sorceress and her daughter suddenly changed. Theresa glanced at her mother with a complaining look, while Aurora turned pale. The Holy Witch immediately defended: "I just went to His Excellency Hertwig for help...
…In order to be able to return here as soon as possible!”
"Asking for help?" Morgiana took the letter and sneered: "Whether it's asking for help or not, it doesn't matter if you say it or not. It doesn't matter if I say it. You 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. Those who are guilty should tell Ryan if they have real grievances. Now, take them all away for me, and confiscate all the property! Send them to the Duke's treasury in Jean City."
"Yes!" Kalad breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Morgiana didn't intend to kill her first. If Morgiana really ordered to be executed directly on the dock, Kalad would definitely come out to advise Her Highness the Lake God Witch not to do this: "
Ms. Aurora, please."
"Wait!" Teresa stood up, and the sorceress said angrily to Morgiana: "If that's the case, then it's just the two of us. Why should everyone do it?"
"I suspect that you have been corrupted by Chaos." Morgiana said coldly: "Yes, the Sky Castle was destroyed, your headquarters was destroyed by the Tzeentch Demonic Army, and you escaped, but how can I be sure that the inside and outside are coordinated?
It's not you who are responsible for the crime. How can I be sure that there is no mole among you? Everything is except you.
No one knows what happened in the Sky Castle, so you must be isolated for a period of time in the future, and then you must pass our holy water test and divine magic test until it can be confirmed that there is no chaos corruption. Otherwise, once an accident occurs, it will be a disaster.
Disaster, Ryan may be willing to trust you, then I will be the villain."
"Morgiana, you did this on purpose!" Aurora had already been tied up by the Holy Grail Knight using a specially made anti-magic chain soaked in holy water. The Holy Witch shouted in dissatisfaction: "You are avenging your private revenge! Hypocrisy!
!Shameless! Vulgar! Despicable!”
"I said it before, Ms. Aurora." Morgiana slowly approached and said in Aurora's ear: "Don't let me find a chance."
Aurora then turned pale and realized that Morgiana was not joking at the coronation banquet.
Morgiana did not give her another chance to speak. All the witches under Aurora, except Teresa, were all taken away. They will be imprisoned in the Lake Fairy Monastery near Jean City.
Isolate and get tested.
"Morgiana, 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 kingdom." Morgiana sighed softly: "Veronica, do you really know what happened in the Sky Castle? Just believe what these people say.
Already?"
"I..." Veronica was speechless for a moment.
"I have fallen into a trap before. At that time, the maid of Athel Loren's ancient treant elder Cordile, Branch Shade Theresa, deceived me into the Shalon Forest to ambush me." Morgiana turned around and said,
The Lake God Witch stared at the group of people being taken away: "I was almost sacrificed to Nagash by Manfred for this!"
"But..." Veronica hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said helplessly: "You don't believe others, but what about Theresa? Her words should be believed, right? You know Theresa's character, and you also
You know, she has 'that thing' in her body just like us."
"So I didn't let her be imprisoned in the monastery together." Morgiana glanced at the sorceress standing not far away, glaring at her: "Now, we can know from Theresa's mouth that Aurora and
Whether the group of witches under her have sincerely surrendered to her, and whether what Hertwig Hertwig said in his letter is true or false."
"Okay." Veronica's eyes rolled, and she suddenly whispered: "Then our last plan..."
"It goes on as scheduled. The dark elf knows what to do." Morgiana said while holding the potion Holy Grail: "She has many ways. What we have to do is to hold off Ryan and let Orika complete the magic imprint on Aurora.
and brainwashing rituals.”
"Hey, smart decision." Veronica and Morgiana looked at each other and smiled.
