Proof of the Sun King

In the early March of 2513 in the imperial calendar, the Sky Castle, the Green Grass Festival.

The Galan Conference is held here.

After many years, the castle is still overcrowded. Hundreds of official witches and their apprentices made the castle seem relatively crowded, and it happened to be during the big gathering. In addition to the witches in the original castle, they also There were many guests and spectators, which made the whole castle even more noisy.

There are large groups of stone golems on both sides of the high castle corridor, most of which are made of beasts or giants. Red carpets are spread from the corridors, and the huge tapestry is embroidered with various stories, showing the history of the Jialan Council. , Many ancient and unknown corners of Skydome Castle still retain many secrets, and even Margarita, who is the chairman of the Garland Council, does not know where some deep paths lead.

The Garland Council is an organization established after the Great Holy War, but the predecessor of this organization can be traced back to the era of the Three Emperors of the Empire. The three emperors, the Emperor Stile, were constantly at odds with each other and were hostile to each other. Behind them, there was the support of the three major church forces in the empire. The White Wolf Church supported the Wolf Emperor, the Justice Church supported the Rick Emperor, and the Nature Church supported the Emperor Rick. The Church of the Gods supports Emperor Tarabek.

The first Tallabek emperor of the Three Emperors Era was a female emperor named Otilia III. The Tallabek female elector lost to the then Styrian Elector in the electoral contest. But she was not reconciled to this defeat, but blatantly united the two brother churches, the Church of the White Wolf and the Church of Nature, to publicly declare that Charlemagne was just a mortal who declared himself a god. He was an emperor and not a god, so he stayed behind. The electoral system that came down is already a rotten old system, and she must be reformed.

The way of innovation is that she establishes herself as the Queen of the Empire.

Marienburg also immediately established himself as emperor at that time. Emperor Steele immediately chose to fight with Otilia III, but was defeated in the battle of Tarabek. Otilia III showed herself perfectly in this battle. With her ingenious strategy, quick thinking, grasp of fighter opportunities and infinite heroism in battle, she defeated Emperor Styr with fewer wins, and the empire has since been torn apart. The various forces of the people are no longer consistent with the outside world, and they suddenly realize that whoever has the courage and the power can inherit the throne.

The era of the Three Emperors began.

Otilia III failed to fulfill her wish to become the Empress of the Empire. She was furious to find that the authority of her Emperor was still recognized only by her territory, not the entire Empire. Therefore, in order to consolidate her rule, she violated the Empire's ban on wizards. , hired many wizards from the empire at that time to come to her court with high salaries. Due to her own preferences, most of the witches who finally got the position were witches. A dozen witches finally gathered to establish their own spellcasters. Organization, the sorceress' meeting place.

This is the predecessor of the Garland Council, but at this time, the Sorcerer's Assembly was still an illegal organization. They could only act as the staff or courtiers of Emperor Tarabek, and use magic to help.

Until the eve of the great jihad, the empire was riddled with holes and was approaching the extinction of the country. A small nobleman, a devout priest of the Church of Justice, and the savior Ludwig emerged from the countryside of Nur. He unified the power of the empire, and At this time, the choice of the sorceress' meeting place was to join the army of the savior with Emperor Talabek, and bet heavily on him, and the savior lived up to expectations, he defeated the army of chaos and rebuilt a new empire, Jialan Parliament also gained official recognition and the power to act openly through political speculation.

Hundreds of witches at that time rallied in the Sky Castle and announced that they would abandon their past names and change their name to the Garland Council.

This is the past and present life of the Garland Council.

Sitting in her own room, in recent years, her ascension speed has been like a rocket, and it took only forty years for her to be promoted to the middle-level Sanctuary. Ms. Veronica Bernadotte was sitting In her luxurious suite, reading various documents, she was in a very good mood. Although her room was almost vacated, the witch Garland, with her sweet face, moist skin and full of luster, only carried a Sitting in a chair is also fun.

In her room, her subordinate witches are carrying things. Veronica has decided to be completely independent from the council. She will only retain her title of elder sister Jialan, leading about a hundred more Witches and witch apprentices went to Brittany to establish branches, which have since formed the Northern and Southern Councils.

Veronica's dream is to become the Speaker, but now this result doesn't seem too bad, at least Veronica is satisfied, she can find a balance between love and career, and relying on Ryan's power can make her Having enough resources and the ability to deploy troops also allows her to give herself enough space to conduct research without being disturbed by the outside world.

It was good, she was very satisfied.

Today's Witch Garland is wearing a sky blue, dreamy, white ling, delicate snow and beautiful hip-packed skirt. It is matched with a white fox fur coat. The beautiful figure is outlined by the light wood elf satin. The inner armor of the elf artifact, the long black-brown soft hair shawls down, the sweet and agile face is full of pride and joy, she sits there watching the apprentices carry things, a pair of flesh-colored ultra-thin jacquard stockings with back seam The long watery legs stretched out lazily like this, wearing black pearl rhinestone fish-mouth high-heeled shoes on a pair of fleshy feet, Veronica turned to the direct apprentice sitting not far away, finally at the Eight Peaks Mountain University. Catherine, who was at the advanced legendary level in the expedition, asked, "Catherine, do you really plan to go to Britannia with me?"

"I follow the mentor, and I'll go wherever the mentor goes." Catherine was wearing a standard Garland witch fire red robe, with the same low-cut hip-packed skirt as the mentor, the difference was that she was wearing a black silk robe. Pantyhose and brown bare boots, the legendary witch also apparently intends to go to Britannia with her mentor, Catherine has always been in awe of Veronica due to her early experience, she whispered: "This... Isn't it all set before?"

"It's fixed?" Veronica smiled meaningfully. She didn't say more, but continued to ask, "Have all the gifts I arranged been sent out?"

"It's all sent out, mentor." Catherine's face turned a little red, and the mentor's gaze made her feel that some of her thoughts were invisible.

"How do you say?" Veronica picked up the hot coffee from the table, added sugar cubes and milk to it and stirred it. The silver spoon was very beautifully made. It was the royal tableware made in Lane's court. Vero Like all witches, Nika also likes the luxury of life very much. She motioned Catherine to go on, and at the same time motioned the apprentices to go out.

"Four legendary witches have agreed to follow the mentor to Britannia, namely Noel, the legendary witch of life, Phyllis, the legendary witch of death and shadow, Rita, the legendary witch of light, and Clara, the legendary witch of sky. , In addition, Laura, the legendary witch of the light series, and Matilda, the legendary witch of the flame series, have also expressed their willingness to follow you to Britannia." Catherine took out a small notebook with names written on it.

There are more than a dozen Garland congresswomen willing to follow Veronica out to establish a branch.

"What about Aurora and Teresa? Are they ready to be expelled from the parliament?" Veronica nodded, she gathered a pair of fleshy legs, and Witch Garland was at the peak of her power at this time. , but she knew in her heart that the reason why she was able to be so stubborn and made many congresswomen come to join her was not because she was a witch of the sanctuary, but because of the man behind her.

However, she and Teresa share a man, and the wonderful meaning of this makes Veronica a little headache. She can be sure that even if Aurora is really voted out, the Garland Council will only give Aurora Plenty of time to pack up and respectfully send her and her people out of the council.

Ironic, isn't it? Veronica couldn't help laughing when she thought of this. She has now stabilized Teresa's head. Their little princess Garland has yet to find a way to advance to the Sanctuary.

"Also, mentor, your meeting with the Speaker is scheduled for three o'clock in the afternoon." Catherine couldn't help but remind Veronica again: "It's two o'clock now."

"I know, get ready, we can go." Veronica nodded, thinking of Speaker Margarita, even the witch Garland, who was always fearless, was a little dignified. Speaker Margarita's strength is about She is a high-ranking sanctuary, she doesn't seem to be much more powerful than the one who has traveled through the labyrinth of Tzeentch, but in the face of this nearly 300-year-old female speaker with incredible experience in spellcasting and life, Veronica is still Remain in awe.

Outside the house, the wind and snow were raging, and the white sky castle peaks were always covered with snow. Veronica looked at the chaos outside the glazed window and sighed softly.

About fifty minutes later, Veronica went to the central tower in person, preparing to meet her mentor. In all, she hadn't met Margarita for five or six years.

The central tower is the core of the Garland Council and the restricted area. Generally speaking, Margarita stays in it for a long time to conduct research, especially after the savior Ludwig took off the crown and disappeared, Margarita is even more She lives in a simple language. When Veronica walked along the road to the central tower, she could also feel the pointing voices and the envious eyes of the witches, seeing Veronica spend thirty years Beyond the achievements of many witches in their lives, there are those who admire, who admire, and who approve, but there are more people who envy, hate, slander and exclude. This is the world of witches. Some people occupy more resources. Some people are naturally fewer. Although Veronica does not strictly occupy the resources of the Council, few people will consider these.

It's just that Veronica can ignore the rumors about her. She likes what Ryan said the most. The real strength is her own strength and inner strength, not the strength in other people's evaluations.

After speaking the secret words, the portrait of the savior at the door gave way, Veronica walked into the deep doorway alone, and walked up several floors along the spiral escalator until she reached a door and knocked on it. Opened the door: "Tutor?"

"Please come in." A kind voice came from the room. Veronica pushed open the dark door. The door was stamped with the family crest of the golden griffin, which was given to Margarita by the savior. Coat of arms.

Even after many visits, Veronica was still amazed at the luxury of Margarita's private office.

The whole warm-colored room is filled with furniture made of the world's highest-grade wood—red sandalwood. Facing the door of the room is a large desk inlaid with various jewels and ancient runes. On the table is a row of magic books, an automatic quill pen, and a spherical instrument for long-distance calls.

Veronica knows about this spherical device, which is an advanced communication device made of vibranium and mithril. Margarita can use this communication device to communicate with anyone in the Skydome, even if she needs to. Contact the entire Old World directly through this instrument.

Behind the desk, there are two rows of bookshelves that reach the dome. There are countless books that are rarely seen in the old world, many of which are isolated and fragmented, which record the elf empire and the human wizard empire before the establishment of the empire. history and many secrets, as well as many lost magic and elven runes.

Then two series of inclined stairs lead together to the second-floor door behind the office, where Margarita's private bedroom is located.

And now, Speaker Garland Margarita was sitting behind the desk, seeing Veronica's appearance, her stern expression didn't fluctuate, she didn't even raise her head: "Huh? Veronica, you're here a little bit. Morning, sit down and wait for me to finish things here."

"Good mentor." Veronica sat down on a chair, Margarita's face was hidden behind the stacked scrolls and books, she was obviously writing something, and seemed to sense Veronica After sitting down, she continued: "There are wine, fruit wine, mead in the cabinet, as well as tea from Aurora and sake imported by Nippeng~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Take whatever you like."

"No need, mentor." Veronica shook her head, and she sat herself upright, just like the shy witch apprentice when she was just getting the attention of Margarita.

"You always give me peace of mind, at least compared to Katarin!" Margarita's voice came from behind the scroll pile and the book pile, and Speaker Garland's voice was a little tired: "Kata Lynn sent a letter saying that Kislev's situation has been unstable recently, and he can't participate in this big rally. This is the end we expected for a long time, what do you think? Veronica?"

"I don't have anything to say, mentor." Veronica still shook her head, and the sweet-looking Witch Garland considered it for a while before she said, "But I heard that the general Beria sent by Ryan is one ship after another. Ships to move Mrs. Keisler out, especially those scholars, high-level skilled workers and Ugol elites."

"Humph!" Margarita sneered: "There is really nothing to say about the doomed ending."

"The jar in the third row and second row in the next cabinet has your favorite pineapple preserves, you can try it first, and when I'm done with this, I'll have a good talk with you, Veronica, my last one. A direct disciple."

"Yes!" Veronica's heart moved. She didn't know what Margarita meant when she said that. Is this the appointed heir, or is the Speaker preparing to retire, or is she entering the last few years of her life?

It may or may not be, this is just a test.

Veronica decided to keep silent.

After ten minutes, Margarita finally motioned her to end all work.

"Veronica, let me ask you a question."

"Please, Master."

"What is the original intention of the establishment of the Jialan Council, or the ultimate goal?"

"Yes……"
