As a large spell caster organization, the Marvel Blue Council naturally had a stronghold in Fort Marlin.
The Marvel Blue Council's stronghold in Fort Marlin was located in the Shield Coin District. This district was a newly developed financial district where many financial companies and rich people gathered. Unlike the noble tranquility of Amber Avenue, this district was very busy. Whether it was day or night, there was always a bustling flow of people and all sorts of goods traded here.
Here, the men wore loose shirts, tight pants, and fashionable shoes. The women mostly wore long skirts and fur coats. Of course, they also wore feathered hats.
The weather was getting colder and colder. The pedestrians on the streets walked faster and faster. The sound of wheels grinding and people bargaining could be heard everywhere. It was very noisy.
"Our Marvel Blue Council has a residence in Fort Marlin. We are responsible for purchasing magic ores and all sorts of alchemy products. We also sell all sorts of magic products." Teresa walked beside Laing. The sorceress was currently dressed in a white fox fur coat, a woolen sweater, tight pants, and high-heeled boots. She usually liked to wear this when she went out.
A two-story residence appeared in front of them. At the entrance, a witch was chatting with a merchant.
"There's clearly a problem with your goods, sir. You can't have so much. " The witch was wearing a long silk dress with noble stripes. Her long dark brown hair was wrapped in white silk ribbons, and there were white bows tied around her ears. Her movements were perfect and full of discipline. Not only that, but she also followed the movements of her master's fingers. Tiny sparks flashed in the air from her fingertips.
The witch had an impressive figure. She was even taller than Teresa, close to 1.75 meters. Her long silk dress fully displayed her figure in front of everyone. Compared to Teresa's phoenix eyes and cold appearance, the witch's appearance was closer to sweetness. She had a pair of beautiful almond eyes and a small nose. A pair of sapphire earrings and a diamond necklace decorated her beauty. Her dress was very long, reaching down to the middle of her calves. Her slender feet were wrapped in black stockings and she wore fiery red high heels inlaid with rhinestones.
Under the witch's pressure, the merchant argued, "Your Excellency, we encountered the Green Bandits while helping you transport these goods. We almost died protecting these goods, and we even lost three young men!"
"That's right. Perhaps it's very difficult for you, but you should know the risks of taking this trade route better than I do. You see, the contract says that if you're in good condition, you'll have to pay the full amount. If there are any losses, you'll have to pay the full amount. I'm just following the contract. Okay? Sir?! " The sweet female voice was very indifferent. The merchant could not object to the words of the witch. In the end, he could only sell the goods to the witch at 90% of the original price at a 10% discount.
After delivering the goods, the merchant walked past Laing and Teresa, cursing, "F * ck! I hate doing business with Jialan's women. "
Laing couldn't help but laugh.
This was male chauvinism at work. If the other party was a wizard from the Wizard Alliance, this merchant would not feel so humiliated. Sometimes, men were like this.
However, Laing and Teresa both recognized who the witch was.
"Vero …" Before Laing could open his mouth, the witch with long dark brown hair turned around quickly. A dazzling ball of light was burning in her hand. As the woman moved, the washbasin-sized fireball flew directly towards Laing.
Fourth-circle spell, Fireball!
The people around were shocked by the woman's action. The merchants and citizens were so scared that they quickly ran away. Many professionals subconsciously took out their weapons.
"Veronica!" When Teresa was about to raise her staff, Laing gestured her to step back. The man did not say anything. He directly raised his right hand and said, "Ah, you're always so bad at greeting people!"
The fireball was caught by the man's right hand, and it did not explode as expected. The fireball was pinched in Laing's hand like a sandbag. The man then turned his right hand over and clenched it hard. The fireball was completely crushed in front of everyone's shocked eyes, leaving only wisps of black smoke in the air.
Now, his strength was completely different from when he was in Nord.
"Hmm, this is the hero I know who defeated the barbarians alone." Seeing that Laing could catch the fireball with his bare hands, the witch immediately dispelled the magic around her. Then, she walked up to him with a happy face. "Oh, Laing, long time no see. I missed you."
After that, Veronica threw herself into Laing's arms under Teresa's shocked gaze. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Then, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have plenty of time."
"Sigh, you're always like this." Laing's face was still smiling, and his hands did not stop moving. He reached out and hugged the witch's slender waist before letting her go. "When did you arrive?"
"They arrived three days ago." Veronica leaned on Laing and did not get up. "Let's go, I'll take you to the shops. Let's see what we can buy. Also, I can't wait to eat the dinner you cook. "
After saying this, the woman pulled Ryan and was about to leave.
"Veronica!!! What is the meaning of this?! " Seeing that the witch and Laing seemed to be very close, the sorceress exploded. Teresa stood in front of the adulterous couple and pointed her purple staff at Veronica's face. "You better give me an explanation, Veronica. Do you think I don't exist?"
Teresa's beautiful almond-shaped eyes did not even appear in Veronica's beautiful almond-shaped eyes. The woman took out a sealed parchment scroll and threw it to the sorceress. "Here, take this. This is your recall order. You can go back now."
After that, Veronica looked at Laing 'affectionately'. "Laing, I miss you so much."
"What are you trying to do?" Laing felt an indescribable pain. The woman in front of him must be faking it.
"Laing, let's go shopping. There are some new goods there. See if there's anything you want." Veronica looked up and held Laing's arm. "Sometimes, you can find good things that are hard to come by. You can buy them at a very cheap price."
With every word Veronica said, Theresa's face turned paler and paler. By the time she reached the end, she could no longer contain her anger. The sorceress stood in front of Veronica and said, "Cut the crap. Let's see who's better."
"Our Jialan's little princess wants to attack me? Well, Elder Aurora will side with you anyway. Come, let's see if you've improved after hanging out with Laing for so long. " Compared to the sorceress, the Gallan witches didn't even need a staff. Bright sparks lit up her fingertips. Her casting speed was faster than Teresa's.
Laing could feel a huge amount of Mana and Will gathering around the two Gallan witches. He knew something was wrong. As expected, they began to chant spells.
"Dragon's Breath!" Veronica, who had started her chant later, was the first to complete her spell. The witch raised her left hand towards Theresa, and the blazing flames formed the shape of a dragon. It tore through the air and rushed towards Theresa.
"Ice Blast!" Teresa finished her spell as well. A huge storm of frost and ice swept towards Veronica.
The battle between the two female Councilors caused all the passersby on the street to be afraid of being caught in the crossfire. They all hid to the side, but they also curiously watched this spellcaster duel.
Just then, Laing moved.
The White Wolf Knight rushed into the battlefield. He stood in the middle of the two spells and opened his arms.
"Oh! No! "Teresa was shocked by Laing's actions.
"Hmm?" Veronica was different. Her eyes were filled with interest. She wanted to see how far this man could go.
Laing grabbed the red fire dragon by the neck. Laing's strength deviated from its original path, and he threw it into the sky.
Then, regardless of the fact that his palm was slightly burnt, the man immediately turned around to deal with the oncoming Ice Blast. His Psionic Shield was fully activated, and the Ice Blast canceled each other out. White lightning shot out from Ryan's hand, shattering the ice storm that contained the explosion.
He's gotten stronger … Veronica's eyes lit up when she saw Laing block two level 5 spells. She thought to herself, This is for the best. The stronger he is, the more advantageous it will be for my plan.
"That's enough, you two." After making sure that the spell wouldn't cause any harm, Leon finally put away his relaxed expression, and his face became indifferent. "If you like this, then get the hell back to Heaven's Castle to investigate the ruins. I can complete the rest of the mission by myself."
"Ladies, do you want me to say please?" Laing's tone was full of annoyance. The two women subconsciously shook their heads.
As soon as Laing finished speaking, the light of a teleportation spell suddenly appeared on the street. Soon, a black-robed man appeared in the teleportation formation. His voice was full of anger and majesty. "Who is using destructive spells in the city?! We've issued a decree forbidding the use of destructive spells anywhere in the city except the arena! Please abide by the general rules of spellcasting! Otherwise, you will be killed on the spot! "
After that, the black-robed man looked up and confirmed the two spellcasters. "So it's two Gallan people. Madam Trovic? Madam Benadotte? Didn't Margarita teach you the general rules of spellcasting? "
The general rules of spellcasting were a convention that all spellcasters had to abide by. Due to their strength and mana, spellcasters were generally not restricted by worldly rules. However, there were still rules that they had to abide by, and the prohibition of destructive spells in human settlements was one of the most important rules.
Seeing the newcomer, the two women were startled. Only then did they realize that they were in Marlin Castle. Veronica first walked to Laing's side. First, she held Laing's hand, then apologized to the black-robed man. "I'm sorry, Master Elliot. It was my oversight. I apologize."
"I'm very sorry, Master Elliot. It was my mistake." Teresa also hurriedly apologized.
"For Mister Laing's sake, this won't happen again. I really hope that Margarita will be more careful with you councilors. This isn't the first time." Elliot took off his hood, revealing the appearance of an elegant middle-aged man in his forties. He nodded at Laing. "Thank you for controlling the situation, Mister Laing."
"No, it's my duty," Laing sighed. "I should be the one apologizing."
"I still have matters to attend to. Please leave, Mister Laing. Councilors Gallan, if something like this happens again, I'll add you to the list of unwelcome in Marlin Castle. I'll personally write to Margarita for an explanation." Elliot teleported away again.
Laing shook off Veronica's hand and closed his eyes in annoyance. "Are you done?"
The two women didn't speak.
After a while, Veronica spoke, "I've already set up the teleportation formation for you. You can return to Skydome Castle yourself. I'll take care of things here."
"But … I plan to …" Veronica still wanted to say something. She didn't want to leave. Teresa had originally planned to leave after the banquet tomorrow night. That way, the two of them could stay on Amber Avenue for the night. She wanted to leave a good impression on Laing.
"Please hurry up, Trovic. The teleportation formation is ready. The council must have summoned you for something important. I'm here, so what are you worried about?" Veronica's sweet voice was loud, but her voice was indescribably strange. Especially her eyes, it was as if she was urging Theresa to get out of here as soon as possible.
The three of them walked into the mansion. It was very busy inside. Many female magi and apprentices were walking around. Seeing Veronica in her silk dress, a beautiful apprentice immediately came up to her. "Councilor, there's news for you."
"Catherine, are you in a hurry?" Veronica's beautiful brows furrowed when she heard that there was news for her.
"No hurry. It's a notice from the council." The female apprentice wore the standard red dress and robes of the council, revealing her youthful face and long blonde hair. She looked to be around 15 or 16 years old. The orchid emblem on her badge only had three white petals, which meant she was an ordinary high-order apprentice.
She was also a beauty. It was common knowledge that the council liked to recruit beautiful girls.
"Then let's wait and see. Where's the teleportation formation I asked for?" Veronica walked elegantly, her high heels clicking rhythmically on the ground.
"It's been ready for a long time, councilor. It can be activated at any time." The female apprentice carefully followed behind the three.
She opened the door to a room on the second floor. A teleportation formation had already been set up. Veronica raised her hand and the accessories on her body jingled. "Please, Trovic. You can leave now."
"Please leave for a moment, Veronica. I have something I want to say to Laing alone." Teresa was forced into a corner by Veronica. The female Warlock knew she couldn't delay any longer. With her departure set in stone, she wanted to say a few words of farewell to Laing.
Veronica rolled her eyes and gave Laing an inquiring look. Laing nodded. She clicked her tongue and left the room.
After closing the door, Veronica didn't go far. She stood at the door and listened to the commotion inside while opening the message from the council.
"Veronica: The council needs you to do your best to rope in your partner.
Margarita. "
