When Laing returned to the Duke's castle, he heard that Morgiana had arrested Aurora and the others. Teresa immediately complained to Laing about this matter.
However, Laing, who had just finished dealing with a lot of things and returned to the Duke's castle, did not comment on this matter. The King took the time to comfort Teresa and told her not to worry. Aurora and the others did indeed need to be quarantined, because even Teresa admitted that she did not know all of the dozens of witches who had been evacuated in the end.
So Morgiana and Olica were in charge of detaining Aurora and the others. Olica also specially got a carriage and loaded it with a lot of things. In addition to a large number of bottles and jars, there was a tinkling sound coming from the oilcloth. From the inside of the carriage, there was a dark purple light. Laing did not know what was inside, but he saw that his Dark Elf maid was very excited and gave Laing a strange look that said, "Leave it to me."
Laing wondered why Morgiana suddenly came to an agreement with Olica. This situation was not right!
However, the King had too many things to deal with and did not have time to think about it. Olica would not do anything to harm him, this was something that Laing was absolutely sure of.
After dealing with Aurora and Teresa, it was time to deal with Veronica. When Gallan saw Laing, she finally could not help but cry in Laing's arms. Suria saw this and asked everyone to leave. Laing was very distressed to see Veronica like this. He softly comforted Veronica for a while, and then took her to the hot springs for a day of vacation. He tried his best to make Gallan forget her sadness and pain.
The next day, when Veronica woke up, it was already noon. The bright sun shone through the windows of the Duke's castle into the room, and the sweet-looking and hot Veronica woke up from her sleep. She felt that her whole body was very weak, and she did not have any strength at all. When she touched her side, she did not know how long Laing had been gone.
Thinking of this, Veronica sighed. In the past, she would always be the one to wake up early the next day, but now that Laing was the King, he had too many things to deal with. There were too many things that Laing had to deal with, and he was getting worse and worse. She often had no strength at all.
Wizard Gallan began to shout, "Is there anyone out there? Catherine? Are you there? "
"Tutor!" Catherine was obviously waiting in the living room. Veronica had always been good to her apprentice, so Catherine respected and trusted Veronica. When she heard her tutor's voice, Catherine quickly walked into the room. "Tutor, it's already past lunchtime. His Majesty Laing said not to wake you up. I left you some food. If you don't like it, I can make it for you."
"Eating is not important … I can't get up now. Catherine, help me." Veronica said awkwardly. Gallan's entire body was limp. With the help of her apprentice, she managed to sit up and change into a new set of clothes. Veronica put on a pair of light brown, ultra-thin silk pants and a pair of black, red-soled pearl heels. She then got up and went to the living room with Katherine's help.
Veronica's waist was sore and her legs were weak. Her face was flushed, and Catherine's ears were red. Sometimes, Catherine really envied her tutor.
After Laing's Duke's castle had been expanded so many times that Veronica almost couldn't recognize where she was anymore. She simply washed up and ate a plate of beef and tomato to fill her stomach. She then asked Catherine, "Was there any news while I was asleep?"
"There were two, tutor." Catherine said softly, "The first one was confirmed by Her Highness Morgiana. Elder Aurora and Councilor Teresa had brought along a group of apprentices. One of them was a Tzeentch demon who wanted to infiltrate the Gallan Council! Only when she was forced to open her mouth and forced to drink holy water did she reveal her true identity. Her Highness Morgiana personally banished this Tzeentch Demon from the mortal world. "
"What! There really is one! "Veronica was secretly shocked. Morgiana's worry was right!
A Tzeentch demon really did infiltrate the Council!
"His Majesty Laing, Her Highness Morgiana, and Queen Suria had a discussion. They decided to put Elder Aurora and the others under house arrest in the Lady of the Lake's monastery for at least six weeks to see what happens." Catherine continued, "Lady Teresa reluctantly agreed to this."
"Then how did Laing arrange for Teresa?" Veronica asked.
"Laing announced that MI7 would be temporarily suspended. Councilor Teresa will be his personal secretary during this time." Catherine nodded, "She will be responsible for his internal affairs. This will make her feel at ease."
"Heh, personal secretary?" Veronica chuckled coldly and shook her head. "It's just a form of appeasement and political exchange. Leon is worried about Theresa's emotional instability and wants to give her a taste of the sweetness. It can also be considered as stabilizing the emotions of the imprisoned witches. This is the only thing our little Princess Garland can do right now. Heh, she can be a secretary."
"Er …" Catherine was a little embarrassed. She did not know how to respond to this topic. Even though she had managed to become a legendary witch after the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition, Catherine, who was still in the early stages of legendary, had yet to obtain the title of Councilor.
For the current system of the Gallan Council, obtaining the title of Councilor was the key to judging many things. Catherine still did not dare to speak out, not even in front of Veronica.
Veronica knew what Catherine was thinking, "What's the second thing?"
"The second thing is that His Majesty Laing gathered the knights and nobles under his command for a discussion. He showed His Majesty Laing the letter in front of everyone and said that he did not read it. He said that he trusted Aurora and Teresa, and then burned the letter in front of everyone. Everyone admired His Majesty Laing's generosity and protection of his subordinates, so this matter was over." Catherine continued, "As for now, His Majesty Laing is holding a meeting with everyone to decide the future of the Gallan Council …"
"It doesn't matter whether His Majesty Laing burned the letter or not, because this is just a show by Laing." Veronica said disapprovingly, "The reason is simple. Morgiana has already read the letter, so there is no seal on it. Laing said that he did not read it, but it is actually just a statement. For him, it can be said that he read the letter, but it can also be said that he did not read it. Do you understand what I mean? Catherine? "
"Teacher, you mean …" Catherine did not quite understand, "In fact, His Majesty Laing already knows the contents of the letter?"
"Even if he did not read it, Morgiana did. Would Morgiana not tell him?" Veronica shook her head. "But Catherine, even if you understand, you have to pretend that Leon has never seen it. You have to experience the wisdom in it yourself. You can't hide under my wings forever. In the future, whether you want to become a courtier of Kalad or go somewhere else to stand on your own, there are some things that you have to start to understand."
"I understand, Mentor." Catherine nodded respectfully to show that she understood.
Before Veronica could say anything else, the Lake Goddess Witch Morgiana appeared at the door, "Veronica, you are awake?"
"What is it?"
"Laing and the others are in the meeting room discussing how to deal with you and the Gallan Council. If you can move now, please follow me." Morgiana nodded slightly, "I think it will be your turn soon."
"Alright, Catherine, help me." Veronica could only agree helplessly.
Fifteen minutes later, in the meeting room of the duke's castle.
Laing and Suria sat at the head of the table. Morgiana quickly walked in and sat to Laing's left, with the nobles and knights on either side. Teresa and Olika stood behind Laing. When Catherine helped Veronica into the meeting room, everyone looked at her.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Veronica was about to kneel, but Laing immediately held out his hand, "No need to kneel. Have a seat."
"Yes." Laing's housekeeper, Katzenberg, hurriedly brought over a chair for Veronica to sit.
"I have passed the resolution, Veronica. From today onwards, Brittany will officially become a protectorate of the Gallan Council." Leon nodded. "We will help you reorganize the Marvel Blue Council and provide you with sufficient funds for your operations. We will also … help you rebuild a headquarters. As for where it will be built, that will be decided after we discuss it."
"Yes." Veronica nodded. Gallan Witch said, "For now, we do not have the qualifications to establish a new Gallan Council. We will return to our original name and organization. I plan to return to the name of the Sorceress Assembly."
"The Sorceress Assembly, is it?" Laing nodded and continued, "No matter the name, we have decided. Veronica, you will be the new president of the new Sorceress Assembly."
"New … president?" Veronica's body couldn't help but tremble a little. Her eyes sparkled. "Really? Me? "
"We trust you. The royal court trusts you. Even … Morgiana and Suria trust you." Laing smiled, "From today onwards, you will be the new leader and president of the Sorceress Assembly. You will only be responsible to Suria and me. This is the decision of the royal council. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Veronica was overjoyed. Her life's dream was to become the president of the Gallan Council. Now that her dream had come true, Veronica found it hard to suppress her excitement. But then, Gallan Witch thought of a series of unforeseen events, and her joy was greatly diluted. She now knew that she would be the new president of the Gallan Council. For a moment, she felt a great pressure on her shoulders, "As you wish."
"Teresa will be the vice president. If Lady Aurora doesn't find any problems after being isolated, she will also be the vice president." Laing nodded and said gently, "I will give you two months to reorganize your remaining forces after this disaster. All the resources that Morgiana has withheld will also be returned to you."
Morgiana sat to Laing's left. The Lake Goddess nodded slightly. Compared to Aurora and Teresa, she trusted Veronica more.
"Meeting adjourned!"
Just like that, the Gallan Council, which had stood in the Old World for more than a hundred years, was officially disbanded and removed from the Empire's list of sympathizers after the destruction of Skydome Castle. Her name disappeared into history.
However, this ancient gathering of female spellcasters wasn't completely over. Gallan Elder Veronica officially announced to the entire Old World that she would be the successor of President Margarita. She would inherit all the Gallan Council's forces in the Old World and appoint herself as the new president of the Sorceress Assembly.
The Brittany Knight King Kingdom immediately issued a statement recognizing Veronica's position and declaring that they would be the protector of the Sorceress Assembly.
After the Knight King Kingdom's official announcement, the Empire's officials issued a statement recognizing Veronica's position the next day. A few days later, Kislöw and the Southern Kingdoms also announced their recognition of Veronica's position.
Veronica then appointed Aurora and Theresa as vice-chairmen. She reorganized the Garland Council with the remaining twenty or so female councilors, including about ten legendary witches, as the backbone of the reform.
Just like that, the history of the Sorceress Assembly turned over a new page.
… I am the dividing line that opens a new page …
May. Old World, Brittany, on the official road to Bordero.
Squads of Old Guard cleared the road. The King of Brittany's royal carriage was traveling under the protection of his squires and Old Guard. Laing, Suria, and Emilia were sitting in the carriage.
Only when she was alone with Laing would Emilia revert back to the beautiful and pitiful little maid beside Laing. Even though she was already a mother, Emilia still maintained the temperament of a young girl. She took off her shoes, bent her legs, and sat beside Laing. Then, she opened the curtain and looked outside. "Laing?"
"What's wrong? Emilia? " Laing was secretly reaching out to touch Emilia's delicate calf wrapped in white stockings. The Knight King asked casually, "What's the matter?"
"Don't touch me!" Emilia said with a little embarrassment. "Sister Suria is watching!"
"It's okay, Emilia." Suria covered her mouth and snickered. "You don't look like you don't want to. If you want to do something in the carriage, I can step back."
"Humph! I don't think Laing would dare to touch the Duchess of the Empire. " Emilia's face turned red from Suria's teasing, but she did not want to push away Laing's big hand. Instead, she said a little awkwardly, "You Brittany finally know how to build canals? This is only the first one. There are already dozens of canals in the south of the Empire. "
"Hahaha, even if you're late, it's still better than nothing." Laing put Emilia on his lap and looked at the canal outside the curtain. On the canal, there were a lot of merchant ships, passenger ships, and cargo ships. Now that the canal was open, the transport capacity of Brittany's north and south had greatly increased. Now, there were many new towns and villages on both sides of the canal. The thing that Laing did under a certain amount of pressure was now effective.
The king planned to continue to sell "canal bonds" and borrow money to continue building canals. After all, the money was taken from the people and used by the people. There was also interest. Coupled with the success of the Bafeng Mountain bonds, the canal bonds were tested a little and caused the whole society to go crazy.
Of course, this also needed the Empire's guidance. The little maid and her Nur could earn a lot of money because of this. Laing thought helplessly. He hugged Emilia tightly in his arms and kissed her tender face. "I can't help it. You're my little maid, Emilia."
"You, you, you, what are you doing all of a sudden, Laing?" Emilia was embarrassed. She always felt that it was very embarrassing to be like this in front of Suria. Emilia subconsciously felt that she was qualified to compete with Suria. The Duchess of the Empire blushed. "Seriously, if you continue like this, I'll go back first. Lil 'Frey Derick and Lil' Rem are still at home."
"Hey, they're having a lot of fun." Laing thought of his two sons and one daughter and felt a headache. Lil 'Frey Derick and Lil' Devonshire were like two demon kings in human form. All kinds of spiritual energy flew around his courtyard.
Lil 'Frey Derick had metal and death magic talent, while Lil' Devonshire had light and sky magic talent. The two brats often looked for opportunities to spar. Fortunately, they liked close combat. Lil 'Frey liked to use halberds and two-handed swords, while Lil' Devonshire liked to use lances, swords, and shields.
Lil 'Rem liked to watch her brothers fight and cheer them on from the side.
"How many people did Brother Fulgen bring this time?" Suria asked.
"Brother Fulgen brought fifteen thousand people this time." Laing nodded. "If I'm not wrong, they'll be here soon."
"Let's hurry."
An hour later, the royal carriage arrived at the Mannan dry dock. The Brittany Knight King, Laing Macado, along with Queen Suria and Countess Emilia of the Empire, were here to welcome her brother, the "Purple Phoenix" of the new world.
"Brother!" Suria finally saw her brother Julius after so many years. The queen excitedly went up to hug Julius. "Long time no see, brother. How have you been?"
"I've been well, Suria." Julius's handsome face, which had always been cold and solemn, could not help but reveal a smile and gratification. "Indeed, it's been a long time. You are the queen now. How is it, Suria? Has Laing been good to you? I heard that he's taken in a new female courtier? Just say the word, and I'll take care of him! "
"I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of him, brother." Suria couldn't stop laughing. The female knight shook her head. "Don't think too much, brother. Laing is very good to me."
"Welcome back to the Ashes Corps from the new world! Let's salute the pioneers and conquerors of these worlds! "Laing announced loudly." Salute! Salute! "
A grand welcoming ceremony unfolded on the dock. Fulgen laughed loudly and came up to shake hands with Laing. "Brother, I'm back."
"Welcome back!" Laing also shook hands with Fulgen. "Did you get the thing? Brother? "
"Got it!" Fulgen nodded. "Where's that mad dog Angelo?"
"He's at home with his two nephews," Laing said with a smile. "Brother Angelo is now addicted to taking care of his nephews and rarely comes out."
"Hey, he's the same as Mortarion. They both yearn for a family and kinship. From a certain point of view, it wasn't wrong for father to leave him here," Fulgen said somewhat mockingly. "Anyway, that's his only pursuit."
"Hello, His Majesty Laing." At this time, Karolina walked up from behind Fulgen. The wood elf princess said somewhat shyly and politely, "I'm Karolina, the daughter of Lord Aralos of Tarsyn Forest and Lord Evelyn of Windrihern Forest. Nice to meet you."
"Very … Very happy." Laing's expression froze. His head was full of question marks. "Miss … Karolina? How did you … "
This was Aralos's daughter? She was praised by Lilith as having the bloodline of a god and the essence of becoming a god. Lilith originally wanted to take her as her daughter to become the new god of the "New World Project"? How did she appear on Fulgen's bed … Cough, cough, on the ship?
"I'm now His Excellency Fulgen's maid. If you don't mind, I'll call you Laing." Karolina blushed and bowed politely to Laing again. "It's an honor to meet you in this way."
“？？？？？” Laing turned his gaze to Fulgen with a strange expression, but Fulgen looked away a little awkwardly. "Miss Karolina met us during Luscia's exploration and decided to join us."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh ~ ~" Laing kept on oohing and aahing meaningfully. This time, even Fulgen felt a little embarrassed.
After a long time, Laing was all smiles. "Okay, Karolina, just call me Laing from now on."
"Welcome back to the Old World!"
