In Marguarita's private office, the meeting was still ongoing. Outside the window, snow was howling. Veronica could only tell from the dwarven grandfather clock in the room that it was almost four o 'clock in the afternoon.
It seemed that this was a rare opportunity, so Marguarita opened up the topic. The president and her apprentice chatted for a while. Feeling that it was about time, Marguarita concluded, "Is everything almost done?"
"Yes, almost." Veronica nodded. In fact, Garlan was already prepared. She packed her things, and it was almost time to leave with her team. This time, there were about a dozen female councilors and more than two hundred apprentices who would follow Veronica to Brittania to develop. In the future, there would be three new wizard towers near the Dawn Wizard Tower. Veronica had already arranged for Leon's people to empty the space and build them in the Oracle Mountains. The location of a wizard tower was different from that of ordinary people. It was best to have a certain distance away from populated areas, but not too far away. The Oracle Mountains near the Duke's castle would be fine. They only needed to build a road to reach the tower. Veronica had already gotten Leon's approval, and the construction team was already building the foundation.
"It's almost time to move. It's best if you can get everything under control before the mother and daughter do," Marguarita said calmly. "After so many years, I understand Aurora. She's a woman who doesn't want to leave. She spent a few years but still couldn't make up her mind to leave the council, so it will take some time for her to move. You should take this opportunity to set up your own plans. In Brittany, who you want to be on good terms with, who you want to be on good terms with, and what authority you want from Laing. I can't help you now, but I have a gift for you."
"A gift?" Veronica's heart was filled with anticipation. Garland knew that her mentor had a vast reserve of knowledge and terrifying magical experience. For her to call it a gift, it must be a treasure that could shock the world.
"This is a scroll with the spell of the light element — Sunburst Casting Technique. This spell will shoot out eight beams of light with you as the center, attacking all enemies around you at the same time. It will also prevent friendly fire. The power of the spell is determined by the caster's magic purity and control. At the same time, the spell will greatly weaken the enemy's magic resistance and special protection for a period of time after the casting of the spell. This spell can cause double damage to the undead and extra damage to the Chaos. However, it will be ineffective against races that are not afraid of light, such as elves or lizardmen. Practice it well." Margarita took out a thick scroll filled with notes, bookmarks, and notes from many of her mentors.
"Thank you very much." Veronica quickly took the scroll. This was a priceless treasure!
"And this …" Marguarita hesitated for a moment before taking out the second scroll. This scroll was also very thick, about 30 centimeters thick and one meter long. "This is a great spell that was sealed by the Ancient Elven Empire and the Wizard Empire — Armageddon. This great spell can summon hundreds of meteors to cover the entire battlefield."
"This is the legendary fire element spell?"
"It is also the most powerful forbidden fire element spell. Promise me, Veronica. Unless you have no other choice, don't use this spell."
"Yes." Veronica couldn't contain the excitement in her heart. She reached out and took the scroll from Marguarita.
"Alright, I've given you everything. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself, just like I did back then." Marguarita nodded and gestured for Veronica to leave. "Go."
"Goodbye, mentor. May the light of Volan always guide you." Veronica whispered.
"Volan?" A mocking smile finally appeared on Marguarita's face. "We all know that guy is much better at using a two-handed greatsword than he is at using a staff."
Veronica couldn't help but smile and nod. She then turned around and left the room. Garland knew that her mentor Marguarita was once again focusing on how to raise enough funds for her next experiment.
Veronica only revealed her true self after leaving the central tower. She shook her head repeatedly. Most of her mentor's views were correct, but she couldn't help but have her own personal feelings.
To put it simply, there was no love between her and His Majesty the Savior, only benefits. During the great holy war, the two met in Tarabheim. At that time, Ludwig had already unified half of the forces of the Old World. Nur and Brunswick had already gathered more than a hundred thousand soldiers for him. The sorceresses of the Sorceress Assembly decided to abandon Emperor Tarabheim and bet heavily on Ludwig. They emptied their family's resources and provided a large amount of magic support. They also asked Ludwig to find a female courtier so that he wouldn't be so lonely at night.
The chosen one was Marguarita. At that time, she was in her sixties or seventies. She practiced light magic all year round and had the ability to retain her youthful looks. She was nicknamed the "Flower of Garland" in the Sorceress Assembly. She was a famous beauty in the Old World.
The sorceresses of the Sorceress Assembly thought that after the war, they would be able to obtain the same rights as the Royal Magic Advisor and the Grand Wizard of the Royal Family. However, after the war, Ludwig chose to rely on Sir Tegris of the High Elf Kingdom's Horus Tower (who was not yet a Supreme Wizard) to establish the Royal Academy of Sorcerers. Veronica didn't even need to think about this choice. Who was more reliable, Tegris or the witches?
In a way, Veronica was Tegris' disciple. Of course, she knew how powerful Tegris was.
However, to Marguarita, this was tantamount to betrayal. She understood Ludwig's choice, but she couldn't accept it. After many arguments, she finally chose to leave the palace and gathered her old subordinates to establish the Garland Assembly.
So, to put it simply, from Marguarita's point of view, everything was about benefits. The relationship between Veronica and Laing was purely one of benefits. Laing fancied Veronica's magic and beauty, while Veronica fancied Laing's status and resources. Both sides were purely a union of benefits.
But Veronica knew that wasn't the case, at least not completely. Laing and Veronica's relationship was much closer. Even after he became the King, Laing had always doted on her. The two had a special relationship that always existed in each other's hearts. When facing Laing, Veronica often dared to tease and ridicule him. Occasionally, she would complain or criticize Laing, and he would accept it calmly. This was her privilege in the palace. As for Laing … this guy was getting more and more naughty.
'Alright, let's pack up and get ready to go back!' Veronica happily walked back to her temporary residence.
Two days later, when Veronica left Skydome Castle with the witches who were willing to leave with her, a cynical male noble dressed in noble clothes was closely watching this scene. He had a chiseled face, but his temperament was ever-changing, and he was a frivolous man with an ever-changing temperament.
'Very good, Veronica has left.' The male noble couldn't help but smile.
If he wanted to carry out his plan, he had to wait for Veronica to leave. This wasn't to say that he didn't want to wipe out the Marvel Council, but because Veronica had an extremely terrifying purifying energy on her body. This stinky woman had caused trouble in Tzeentch's labyrinth and made a mess of the Lord of All Changes' labyrinth. In the end, she had still managed to escape!
Although the Lord of All Changes had hidden this matter from everyone, there was no doubt that Veronica was someone who had peeked into Tzeentch's essence and subspace origin. This kind of wizard who was close to the origin of magic had high magic resistance and was immune to many chaos spells. The male noble obviously didn't have a good way to deal with Veronica, not to mention that she had a purifying energy that could burn chaos demons. Thus, he had to wait for Veronica to leave before carrying out his plan.
Now that Veronica had left, Tzeentch's Chosen of Gods champion, Ka A-Zanaik, knew that he could carry out his plan.
That's right, he was Tzeentch's Chosen of Gods champion.
Just like many chaos champions, Ka A-Zanaik rose up in the Kurgan Plains. He used various schemes and spells to announce the birth of a great Tzeentch champion. Soon, the Great Manipulator (Tzeentch) visited him in a dream and ordered him to lead his tribe to conquer the North. He began to conquer and defeat all the tribes he could conquer. Ka A-Zanaik led his tribe and defeated all the enemies until he met his match – a Chosen of Gods with a body like a small mountain. The two armies met in the chaotic wilderness and the battle was so intense that the corpses piled up into a mountain.
In the end, Ka A-Zanaik defeated the Chosen of Gods. After a shocking battle, the Chosen of Gods fell on the bloody hillside. Ka A-Zanaik alone announced his victory. When he announced his victory, the Demon Bird God (Tzeentch) bestowed his blessing on his champion and announced that the Kurgan had become Tzeentch's Chosen of Gods champion. Tzeentch ordered him to go south and destroy the mortal kingdom.
Zainaik was even more cunning than before. After hiding his hands and feet that had turned into eagle claws, he spent several years infiltrating the Garland Council. He used Elder Carolina's thirst for magic and knowledge to successfully corrupt her. He made her believe that the reason why the Garland Council had never been able to establish an independent country was because all the witches had lost their ambition and had become useless. President Margarita was also overly cautious. She had to stand up and 'cleanse' the council. She had to bring the Garland Council back to her own path and establish a wizard Empire that truly belonged to her.
Snow Queen Katarina was also unable to attend the council meeting because of the chaos created by Zainaik. The Garland Council was currently very weak.
This was a godsend opportunity!
But before he carried out his plan to destroy the Garland Council, he had to accomplish two goals first. Zainaik took out a scroll from his bosom and carefully flipped through it.
His first goal was the Demon Hunter Supreme Mentor Ernst. This mentor was currently a guest in Skydome Castle. He was Elder Carolina's lover. This mentor was in the last few decades of his life, but due to his rich experience with chaos, it was very difficult to corrupt him. Zainaik had used many methods to make him more irritable and irritable, accompanied by insomnia and mental deterioration. Zainaik knew that if he wanted the council to collapse in an instant, he had to get rid of this guy first.
His second goal was a Legendary Academy Alchemy Witch, Ditinda. This Academy Witch wasn't good at fighting, but she was extremely good at making all kinds of potions. If Zainaik wanted his plan to succeed, he had to get rid of this Witch first.
Everything had been planned out. Zi A-Zanaik had been preparing for several months.
Zainaik took out a piece of paper, nodded, and disappeared into the darkness. "Change … has happened!"
A few minutes later, Zi A-Zanaik disappeared, replaced by a famous Old World fashion designer, Helmut Krueger, who walked out of the darkness.
… I am the dividing line of the change …
The next day, Skydome Castle, Ditinda's alchemy workshop and private residence.
As usual, Councilwoman Garland Council Member Ditinda's private residence was also built with cherry blossom wood, one of the most expensive woods in the Old World. Her residence was huge, more than 500 square meters, filled with all kinds of Old World luxury goods, sculptures, and tapestries. It could be said to be extremely extravagant.
If anyone still remembered, this Lady Ditinda was the Academy Witch that Laing and Teresa met in Mjörden Haven when they were adventuring together in Nord. Now that almost 20 years had passed, Ditinda's beauty was still as beautiful as before. She sat casually on a classic baroque luxurious sofa and entertained Teresa, who had come to visit.
The two held a small amount of Arabi black tea that Teresa managed to get from Suria and sat in the reception room, elegantly tasting afternoon tea. There were many pastries on the table. As a rare Academy Witch, Ditinda had accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth through alchemy and making large amounts of magic potions. She was wearing a gray vintage silk dress today and chatted with Teresa. "Teresa, long time no see. How are you doing in the Knight King? I heard that His Majesty Laing is good to you and Lady Aurora? "
"Laing, I think. He's very good to me and my mother. He gives us a lot of money every year." Today, Teresa was wearing a Wisteria Fairies Dream Tassel woolen skirt, a pair of long legs wrapped in thin black jacquard pantyhose, knee-high suede boots, and a white fox fur coat. The sorceress' silky black hair shone faintly over her shoulders. When she heard Ditinda mention Laing, the sorceress could not help but think of what happened two weeks ago. She was taken back to the castle by Laing and became the King's temporary secretary for two weeks. But in reality, she had become … She could not help but blush. "And he's very good to me."
"Very good? I can see that. " Ditinda blinked and smiled. "When I was in Mjölden Haven, I thought that you two would be together. Later, when you wanted to go to Brittany to look for Laing, I encouraged you to go. Now, you and Lady Aurora have to thank me properly!"
"Of course." Teresa was a little embarrassed. When the sorceress was hesitating, it was indeed Ditinda who persuaded her to take the initiative. It was impossible for a man as outstanding as Laing to not have women around him. At this time, she must not put on airs, or she would most likely pass by him. Thinking of this, the sorceress was glad that she made the right choice and took the last bus. Judging from Laing's behavior and words, if Teresa did not take the initiative to come to him, she would have really missed him.
Teresa brought a lot of gifts, and Ditinda accepted them all. When she saw that there were two boxes of the most famous Wolford stockings in the old world among the gifts, her eyes lit up. This brand of stockings created by Queen Suria and Lady Emmanuel was now a super luxury item that all women in the old world crave. It was priceless, and all the witches in Skydome Castle were proud to wear this brand of stockings to banquets. "Thank you, Teresa. You're so thoughtful."
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside. An apprentice came in and said, "Tutor, Mr. Kruger is here."
"Then I won't disturb you, Sister Ditinda. See you tonight." Teresa nodded. She knew that Ditinda had invited the famous fashion designer of the old world, Helmut Kruger, to custom-make a new dress for her. The sorceress did not think too much about it and left first. Ditinda also signaled for everyone to leave. She needed some privacy.
Ten minutes later, in Ditinda's cloakroom, Mr. Kruger took a tape measure for the sorceress. "Please turn around, Ms. Ditinda. I want to measure your back."
"Okay." Ditinda nodded. The sorceress turned around and looked at the mirror. She said casually, "Mr. Kruger, do you think this moon gauze dress or this knitted dress is more suitable?"
"Let me see." Kruger smiled. A dagger came out of his sleeve. It was the Dagger of Pain, which was filled with blue poison and had the Eye of Tzeentch on it.
The next second, a large hand suddenly covered Ditinda's mouth. Then, the dagger pierced through her chest from behind. The sorceress screamed in pain as the Dagger of Pain pierced through her heart. The sorceress did not even have time to struggle. She died on the spot in endless pain.
"You're the most suitable." Zainaik pulled out the dagger. Blood spurted out from the wound. Ditinda slowly fell into a pool of blood. The sorceress's face was still filled with disbelief.
"Very good. Let the Garland Destruction Plan begin!"
