PS: A 4,800-word chapter! The Emperor wishes everyone a happy Spring Festival!
Veronica's beautiful almond-shaped eyes almost drowned Ryan. She wriggled her body, and her face gradually turned red. She was so excited that she couldn't stop shaking. "Oh! My God! I mean … Laing, you … that … "
"Calm down, Veronica." Laing smiled bitterly. "I regret telling you this now."
"It's the Light Magic Ride? It's really the Light Magic Ride? My God, I wanted to ride that when I was three! " Veronica was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She rarely lost her composure. Garland kept hammering her thigh with her little hand. "Oh my God!"
The Light Magic Ride was an extremely powerful war machine. It was created by the Academy of Light of the Empire's Royal Academy through secret methods. It was composed of a warhorse, a carriage, and a magic instrument on top of the carriage. The carriage and the warhorse were easy to obtain, but the magic instrument on top of the carriage was the most important.
The magic instrument on the Light Magic Ride had three functions that spellcasters could only dream of.
First, stable overload. The magic instrument on the Light Magic Ride was connected to several mysterious optical instruments. These optical instruments could crazily overload the spellcaster's spells until the spell's power was several times or even dozens of times its original power! For example, if the Flame of the Soul was overloaded with optical instruments, it could directly emit a beam of light that could instantly vaporize any soul!
Secondly, it had a fixed casting ability. The Light Magic Mount was also a war chariot that was bound with a powerful magic array. By making a fixed magic incantation on it in advance, this powerful war machine could instantly cast any magic apart from major curses. It could store a maximum of three times!
Third, auxiliary perception and storage of magic wind. These were the literal functions.
The Empire's control over the Light Magic Ride could be said to be extremely strict. In the entire Garland Council, only President Margarita had one! This was a terrible war machine that couldn't be bought with money.
She was qualified to become the second witch in the council to have such a war machine?!
"Darling, tell me, how did you get your hands on a Light Magic Mount? The Empire actually agreed to sell it to you? " Veronica asked again and again. The witch's face was filled with pride and disbelief. "How is this possible?"
Grape ran quickly, the streets on both sides receding. Before long, Dawn Sorcerer Tower was in front of Veronica's eyes.
"Why not? I heard that President Margarita also has a Light Magic Ride. It's an antique with hundreds of years of history! " Ryan dismounted from the horse and carried Veronica's beautiful body off the horse while talking non-stop.
"That's a token of love from His Majesty King Ludwig to President Margarita!" Veronica was amused by Laing's words. She put her hands on her hips and aggressively stood in front of Laing. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with Laing's shadow. She asked one question after another, "Only the Royal Empire's Sorcerer Academy could build such a terrible war machine with the help of the Brunswick Munitions Factory. Every wizard wishes to have a Light Magic Ride, but the Empire will only ever give a Light Magic Ride as the highest reward. Even Teresa's mother, Aurora, couldn't get one no matter how hard she tried! Heh, my dear, if you can really get me a Light Magic Ride, then I'll be able to suppress that little princess in the future! "
"Aurora? I remember she has a lot of connections in the Empire, "Laing muttered.
"That's right. Elder Aurora has a lot of connections in the Empire. She approached many nobles and wizards in the Empire, but they all refused. The only noble in the Empire who was in charge of supervising one of the components of the Light Magic Ride was a baron. It was said that he was interested in Aurora, so he agreed to help. The next day, the baron and his family were executed in secret by the Empire. From then on, Aurora didn't dare to mention anything about the Light Magic Ride anymore. She didn't even dare to go to the south of the Empire." Veronica laughed. "Think about it, why didn't Aurora come to see the little princess after she came here for so long?"
"I think this is Brittany." Laing and Veronica walked into the wizard tower together.
"Brittany? More or less. In this country, it's your lady who talks to the Lake Goddess Witch who lives in your castle. "Veronica held Laing's arm." In essence, they don't welcome foreign spellcasters. "
"Good morning, Mentor." "Good morning, Senator." "Good morning, Senator!"
At the entrance of the wizard tower, Veronica's former apprentice, Katherine, was waiting with two other apprentices. They were all wearing fiery red robes. Katherine was over 20 years old at this time and had become more slender and elegant. When she saw her mentor and the Count appear together, she quickly whispered, "Hello, Your Excellency."
"Good morning, Katherine." Laing subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch Katherine's head, but he immediately realized that the girl in front of him was not the little maid Emilia, so he smiled awkwardly. Laing withdrew his hand. "Katherine, long time no see."
"What's the matter, Katherine? Why are you waiting for me here? "Veronica noticed that something was amiss.
"Mentor, this is a letter from the Senate. It's from President Marguarita." Katherine took out a letter and Veronica took it. She hesitated for a moment before opening it. She didn't say what was written in the letter.
A letter from Marguarita was obviously something important. It would be better to wait until they returned to her private quarters.
"Wow! It's Count Laing Macado! "
"So handsome! So handsome! "
"Sob! It's the count! It's the count! "
"Ah, it's Count Macado! I'm dead!"
On the third or fourth floor of the Sorcerer Tower, a group of little lolis stuck their heads out of the window and looked at Leon who appeared together with Veronica. However, due to Veronica's power and influence, the little lolis did not dare to squeeze in.
After opening the door of the wizard tower and walking up the spiral staircase, Veronica said, "Tell me, my dear, how much did you pay to order this Light Magic Ride from the Empire?"
"Five thousand crowns."
The Light Magic Ride wasn't an expensive item. The problem with it was that it was a strategic resource of the Empire. Had it not been for Laing's good relationship with Emperor Karl-franz, the emperor wouldn't have allowed it to be sold. Every Light Magic Ride that was sold meant one less Light Magic Ride.
The door to Veronica's private area opened under the witch's spell and immediately closed after the two entered. Veronica's private area was covered with a fiery red carpet. The dome symbolized the stars that moved in the same direction as the sun. The patterns on the walls and the dome would move on their own. Ryan felt that Veronica seemed to be deducing something through this.
"Five thousand crowns … Laing, are you really giving it to me?" After entering her private area, Veronica seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden. She let out a sigh of relief, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with warmth and gratitude. She wrapped her arms around Clayon's neck, tiptoed, and gave him a kiss. Then, she asked suspiciously, "My Grand Knight, is there any conspiracy behind this?"
"If you don't like it, you can pay for it yourself." Leon wanted to poke fun at Magus Garland. He smiled and said, "I can pay you in advance, and then you can pay me back in installments."
Pushing open the bedroom door, Veronica turned over and sat on the bed. She stretched out a silky leg toward Ryan, motioning for him to help her take off her high heels. Ryan smiled and did as he was told. "What do you think of my suggestion?"
"Five thousand crowns … My magus tower only earns one or two hundred crowns a month," Veronica complained. "I've already used up most of my savings during the construction of the magus tower and your little princess borrowed another three thousand crowns from me. I only have one or two thousand crowns in my treasury. How am I supposed to pay you back? Are you trying to use this chance to do something naughty? "
"There are many other ways you can pay me back." Laing looked at her mischievously. Veronica suddenly thought of something and blushed. Just as she was about to back away, she found her foot in Laing's hand. "Damn it, Laing, what are you doing?"
Ryan helped Veronica take off her high heels and put them under the bed. He pinched a pink foot in his hand. The foot was very tempting under the red nail polish and silk stockings. Ryan reached out and played with it for a while. When he heard Veronica's words, he couldn't help but laugh. "Okay, I said I'll give it to you. Veronica, you know, you're my first woman."
"Hmph, that's more like it." Veronica raised her head proudly and gestured for Laing to come up quickly.
The two of them snuggled under the covers. Laing hugged Veronica and placed her on his lap. "It won't be that quick. The Empire isn't done yet. Veronica, you still have to assemble it yourself, carve your own formations and inject your own mana. You also have to adjust the magic and optical instruments yourself. How much mana have you recovered?"
"I've recovered most of it." Veronica leaned against Laing's chest and held his hand. She soon found that her skirt had been lifted to her waist. Blushing, she didn't resist. "The president asked me if I needed more manpower and also asked me about the light magic vehicle."
"It seems the Marvel Council also knows you're about to get a light magic vehicle. I have to say, their sources of information are really fast." Laing thought that the council would take the opportunity to ask if they could use their relationship with Laing to order one as well.
"President Marguarita didn't dare to look for you directly because you're the champion of the Lady of the Lake. She came to me, but what can I do?" Veronica shook her head helplessly. She thought for a while and whispered, "By the way, Laing, you gave me one … What about Trovic? Aren't you afraid she'll cause trouble for you? "
"But there's only one available. She's heavily injured and needs a long time to recover. I'm also planning to attack Blackstone Outpost. If I don't equip you with it now, who knows how long it'll take to attack Blackstone Outpost." Laing was also troubled by this. He decided to ask for Veronica's opinion. "My great witch, what do you think of attacking Blackstone Outpost? Suria is very serious about this. She always hopes that I can gather an army of knights in the name of the Lady of the Lake and prepare to attack Blackstone Outpost with François. Hmm … and the dwarves. "
Veronica knew that Laing wanted to discuss this matter with her. When it came to attacking Blackstone Outpost, Laing would ask anyone in his domain, and they would inevitably bring their own opinions. The knights wanted military merit, the commoners wanted promotion, Emilia, Olica, and Morgiana didn't want Laing to go out and cause trouble. Only Veronica didn't have an opinion. Or rather, she was the only one who wholeheartedly thought of Laing. "If you want me to think about it, take your hand off my leg!"
"Hehehe …" Laing hugged Veronica's waist to give her time to think.
Veronica spent five minutes thinking about the cause and effect before she said, "Laing, I think you can't rush the attack on Blackstone Outpost. You have to be fully prepared. It's best if you can wait until Trovic recovers and your domain and the kingdom have recovered from the fatigue of war."
"Then it'll take at least a year." Laing nodded.
"Then a year, or a little longer. The necromancer Heinrich Kemmler has been hiding in Blackstone Outpost for many years. You have to be prepared before attacking. I understand Madam Suria's thoughts because her grandfather, the previous Duke Vanford, died in Kemmler's first attack on Brittany. The ducal family and Kemmler are mortal enemies, but you have to be clear-headed. Blackstone Outpost is within the mountains, not on the plains." Veronica continued, "Your army will have to cooperate with the dwarves in battle. This will take time to practice. Don't be careless. You're the Lady of the Lake's chosen champion, the role model of a knight."
"Yes, that's a pertinent suggestion." After listening to Veronica's suggestion, Ryan made up his mind. He decided to make ample preparations before attacking the Blackstone Stronghold. He couldn't rush into the attack.
"As for Trovic, I also suggest you let her recover before attacking Blackstone Outpost. Having another legendary ice and psychic sorceress will increase your chances of winning the war. As for the Magic of Light … I've already shared a man with her. It's not like we can't discuss it on the magic chariot." Veronica sneered, "I'll let you off easy, but the owner of the Magic of Light must be me."
"My great witch, I like how you can see the big picture."
"Then why don't you cook me a sumptuous lunch?"
"I'll go now!"
… …
Old World, Brittany, Bordero's capital, Bordero, Bordero.
The Mannen Dock was as busy as ever. Merchant ships from most of the races of Order all over the world were coming in and out of the dock. Ever since the trade route at the Hatchet Pass was cut off, the main area of Brittania's foreign trade was shared by Le-Angoulam and Bordero. Among them, the Mannen Dry Dock was a high-quality deep-water port that could berth the high elves' ocean fleets. Many people believed that Bordero, Duke Bordero, was one of the main beneficiaries of Tegris' visit to the old world. The rich profits from trading with the high elves filled Duke Bordero's vault with gold.
At that moment, a galleon from the Empire docked in Bordero. It carried a large amount of Empire goods and even quite a number of Empire troops. The galleon was quickly allowed to pass after showing a trade permit and a pass signed by the duke.
A few people came down from the galleon.
Laing would have recognized the first person if he was there. He was Rik's Guard, Master Engineer Wagner from Nur.
The second person was as tall as a brown bear. He was over two meters tall and was wearing a black dwarven vibranium plate armor with many runes on it. On his shoulder was the Nuer coat of arms — a black lion holding a scale. A magic rune sword hung from his waist. His long brown hair and long beard made him look very imposing. This was a giant man with a gloomy, cold, emotionless, and taciturn face.
The third person was a slender woman. She wore a veil on her head and a long robe. She held a huge scythe in her hand. Everywhere she went, she was like a ghost. Magic could be seen with the naked eye, shrouding her in darkness. Even though it was noon, the people nearby could feel a chill and couldn't see her face clearly.
The fourth person wore a set of tattered armor made of turquoise and enamel. He had brown hair, and on his shoulder hung the family coat of arms of the God of the Sea with a trident and a scythe at his waist. He was surrounded by the glory of the God of the Lake. His eyes were blood red, and his skin glowed. He was no longer a mortal. "Welcome to my hometown, Bordero. Lady Elspeth, Mr. Theodore, Mr. Wagner."
"What a beautiful place. If it wasn't for the fact that we need to find Emmanuelle, we would've stayed here for a few more days." Wagner shook hands with the Sea God Knight.
The appearance of this group of people alerted the guards at the docks. When the Sea God Knights hurried over to question them, their mouths were wide open in disbelief. Their original hostility turned into ecstasy. "Sir … Sir Feldmond! You're finally back! "
"Tell father that thanks to the lady's protection, I've completed the Holy Grail Expedition and returned."
