The Sun King's Evidence

Chapter 76, Veronica’s past

PS. There are two updates today and one more in the evening.

In the entire Marienburg, only the Amber Avenue area can enjoy peace, while other places are always noisy and crowded. Whether it is early morning, noon, evening, late night or early morning, the whole city is morbidly active. middle.

City streets are always crowded.

Marienburg consists of several main urban areas, which can be roughly divided into the port dock area, the temple university (rich) area, the citizen area, the elven enclave and the canal (poor) area.

Then due to the extremely high land prices in Marienburg, an embarrassing situation arose.

Only Ocean Church and Wealth Church have a strong influence in this city, so the temple is built in a wealthy area. The other major churches, even the three most financially powerful and influential churches, cannot afford to buy a super building in a wealthy area. Land prices were high, so they set up their temples in urban areas and poor areas.

The streets in the wealthy areas are clean and tidy. The nobles spend a lot of money to lay foundations with huge stones and then pave the roads to ensure that their activity venues are high enough and strong. However, this is different in the urban areas. Domestic garbage is piled up everywhere in the streets, and every corner is covered with garbage. Residences, shops and warehouses, buildings that are constantly being built illegally and dug downwards hide various dangers. Some underground tunnels are even dug into the sea and below the warning water level.

"The scariest thing is the canal area. It is said that you must hold an umbrella when walking there, otherwise no one knows when domestic sewage will suddenly pour downstairs and pour all over the poor passers-by." Change into a silk dress. Veronica held Ryan's hand and said with a smile, the woman's beautiful face was full of moving brilliance today.

"Okay, this is very Marienburg." Ryan nodded, and he stopped with Veronica: "The Holy Sisters' Order has arrived."

The Holy Sisters' Order is the church organization of the Fairy in the Lake, but its personnel composition and organization are very mysterious. Seeing Ryan coming, the leading saint in white ceremonial clothes nodded and opened the temple door: "Lady's Divine Residence Yes, you are qualified to enter the temple."

I don’t know why, but the appearance of the saint in charge here is not good-looking. Her facial features are very hard and masculine.

"What about her?" Ryan pointed to the witch beside him.

"She is your companion?"

"Yes."

"Then let's come in together."

The process of delivering Berig's head was very simple. The statue of the Lake Fairy flashed to indicate that he understood. Then the Chaos Champion's head became useless. The Saint threw the head into the fire and burned it to ashes. Ryan Unsurprisingly, Brittania’s own obsession with skulls does not exist, it has to do with the personal likes and dislikes of the Lady of the Lake.

Just standing among the white statues of the temple, Veronica always felt something was wrong.

The witch always felt that the statue of the Lake Fairy was looking at her with cold and disgusting eyes where she wasn't paying attention.

Kneeling before the statue of the Lake Fairy, Ryan prayed silently: "Madam, what do you need from me?"

"Do your own thing first, my divine choice. You will stay in this city for a while. As for what happens next, I am already making arrangements." The vague voice of the fairy in the lake echoed in Ryan's heart. , obviously this goddess does not intend to, or does not like to appear in this place and at this time.

"Then when will I be lucky enough to listen to your teachings?" Ryan thought silently in his heart. He had many questions to ask this goddess.

"Haha~ Interesting stranger, this is the first time I have met a knight who wants me to come." The fairy in the lake responded to Ryan with a chuckle: "Unfortunately, due to certain restrictions, I cannot walk in the main material world for a long time, unless... …”

"unless?"

"Unless you provide me with energy."

…………

When Ryan took Veronica out of the Holy Sisters' Convent, Ryan still had a strange expression on his face.

Veronica held his hand, and the witch's long dark brown hair fell on Ryan's arm: "I regret going in with you. I can feel that the lady in the lake is not friendly to me."

"She can't be indifferent to the woman who appears next to her divinely chosen champion, especially since you are still a spell caster and your body is full of my scent." Ryan squeezed Veronica's little hand and gestured to both of them. Let’s talk about this personal matter at home. Do other things now.

Veronica nodded, and the woman's little hand squeezed the back of Ryan's hand hard to show that she believed him. She would not delve into this matter any further. If Ryan was willing to speak, she would listen. If Ryan didn't She wouldn't care if she was willing to say it.

Veronica is different from Theresa. Veronica, who worked hard to climb up from the army of wizard apprentices, is more considerate, shrewd and decisive.

After completing this matter, the two returned to the Temple University District. On the wide street, Ryan noticed that wizards from the Wizards Alliance were walking on the street with their apprentices. They looked at the shops one by one to purchase the alchemy they needed. Medicinal materials, Ryan said upon seeing this: "The training methods of wizards are all the same, most of them are mentor systems."

In Marienburg, wizards are not as rare as Nords. You can usually see one or two within a short walk.

"No, it's different." Unexpectedly, Veronica shook her head categorically: "It looks the same on the surface, but in fact it's completely different. Trovik can't tell you this because she hasn't experienced it."

"Then I'd love to hear you talk about these experiences." Ryan nodded. He knew a little about the recruitment of apprentices by the Gloria Council, but he didn't fully understand it.

"Every year at the end of the Winter Veil Festival and before the opening of the Green Grass Festival, the spellcasters among the witches of Gloria who have no or lack of apprentices will leave the Celestial Castle and travel on the mainland. Of course, I don't mean that it must be at this time, any time, any time. At that time, as long as a girl was proven to have a talent as a spell caster, we would take them to the Sky Castle for a physical examination. In the warm fire and delicious food, these ignorant girls thought they had arrived in heaven..." Wei Ronika seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and she pointed at the wizard with her apprentice: "Just like that, girls with potential will be selected by witches or sorceresses, and then granted the qualifications of wizard apprentices. Most of them are similar.”

"But wizard apprentices have to follow the guidance of their mentors. They become excellent servants of their mentors. They are required to strictly obey any instructions of their mentors. If a servant is too useless, then she will be eliminated and will be a servant for the rest of her life. This is Do you understand what I mean?" Veronica looked at the young wizard apprentice following her mentor, covering her mouth and snickering: "Because their lifetime value can only be as a servant."

"It's understandable, just like a knight and a knight's retinue." Ryan spread his hands to show that he understood.

"So those girls who are highly talented and work hard are often favored by their tutors. They always feel that they who perform best will soon win the favor of their tutors and be taught more spells and mysteries of magic. I am the only one left. I have a careful eye on it, because I don’t think the mentors would be willing to let these best and most outstanding servants leave them.” The wizard’s tone was full of sarcasm: “Female congresswomen don’t think so noblely like you do in Ryan, they rarely Let your good servants go to further their studies.”

Ryan's eyes widened, he understood.

The worst among the apprentices will be apprentices for the rest of their lives, while the best and the best...will also be apprentices for the rest of their lives because of the pressure of their mentors? !

"So you, are you pretending to be averagely talented? Are you desperately trying to hide your amazing talent, and then study secretly while avoiding the attention of your instructor?" Ryan was a little dumbfounded.

"Yes, at that time, I, Veronica, was just a wizard apprentice who was neither excellent nor useless. I was somewhat useful but not very useful. This allowed me to successfully advance to the elite level and become a Official wizard." Veronica smiled mockingly, and then took Ryan's arm again: "How about it? Am I good?"

Sweat broke out on Ryan's forehead. The elimination system within the Council of Female Spellcasters really made him confused. Looking at Veronica with her sweet appearance and proud figure next to him, he suddenly felt a little distressed. So his tone became gentler: "Then what?"

"Then I should have faced more...such as the ostracism from my colleagues, the suppression from other congressmen, my strength might have been greatly reduced due to a strange accidental injury, or I might have been attacked by other witches. Spell accidental injury leads to ruined appearance... Jealousy among women is so terrible." Veronica looked at Ryan, with a variety of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes: "At that time, I was hiding in Tibet, and every month I could only meet in the library. I stayed in the Sky Castle for the three days it was open. At this time, a young knight errant came to the Sky Castle alone with his harvest. I had a duel with him, and then he became my partner. , his identity made other witches jealous, so Veronica finally got rid of the shackles. She showed her talents to the fullest and gained the favor of Speaker Margaret, becoming the first witch of this generation. .”

After speaking, Veronica smiled coquettishly: "This is my story."

"I remember that I was just a knight errant, a warrior at the pinnacle of the elite level, and the adopted son of a lord. My inheritance rights were still behind. Am I that powerful?" Ryan thought to himself that his external identity was not that powerful.

"In addition to these, you are also the godson of the Imperial Griffin Duke. Have you forgotten? You have a lot of contact with Jialan, and everyone knows you. You will not be indifferent to your friend's accident, right?" Wei? Ronika reminded Ryan: "Although everyone doesn't know that I am your partner, they know that you and I are friends."

Now Ryan finally admitted that the wizard was right. His godfather was the Griffin Duke of the Empire, the current Imperial Griffin General and the grand leader of the Griffin Knights. There would be no witch who was not afraid of dying to provoke this giant Buddha, although The Gloria Council is very strong, but if they really get into trouble with such a large-scale violation of the rules as the Griffin Knights, the Gloria Council will definitely send the person to the Griffin Knights for disposal as soon as possible.

The overwhelming army of griffins riding on the face is really emotional just thinking about it.

"So this is a gamble, some people win, some people lose, from now on, this girl won, won a lot, but someone did not follow the rules, they started fighting and it has been put in the girl's bag The idea of ​​chips." Veronica's voice was full of dissatisfaction and resentment: "They pretended not to know that the girls won these chips by betting all their own money. Instead, they told the girl that there was something wrong with the previous bet and they wanted to Did she start over again? Now everyone knows who to suppress!"

"Tell me Ryan, can you find a reason for me not to hate Trovik?" Veronica's voice was very soft: "I used to be on good terms with her, and we didn't talk to each other, but she It's crossed the line. I just want her to go away, as far away as possible, and don't touch my things. She can find whoever she wants to find them! Don't touch my partner."

"...It seems that I still know too little about women. I always thought that you would become friends because you are similar in age and have similar abilities. You are both spell casters and both are beauties..." Ryan's balls ached. Speak out your thoughts.

"Everything you said, Ryan, is a reason for our hostility. We are not knights, we are witches!" Veronica said angrily. The woman crossed her arms and walked in front of Ryan: "So don't try to coordinate the relationship between us. We have a relationship, just be my partner."

"Okay." Ryan finally gave up his unspoken plan.

Seeing that the man listened to her, the witch smiled brightly and smiled at Li Yan. She pulled Ryan towards the destination ahead: "Let's go and see if there are any good-quality maids in the slave market. There are too many maids in the house." It’s deserted.”

"No, Veronica, the maid's affairs are not the focus now. Do you still remember our mission?" Ryan took Veronica's little hand. The witch's heel slipped and almost lost her balance, but Ryan hugged her immediately. He told her: "Be careful, the heels of the shoes you are wearing are too high."

"It doesn't matter, you can hug me when you are tired from walking." Veronica stretched out her fist and hit the man on the chest, and then said: "I heard from the council that they are chasing a fallen master demon hunter? Details Trovik won’t tell me, and I don’t like to ask.”

"Didn't she explain things clearly to you?" Ryan thought for a moment, and he immediately realized that it was impossible for the two women to explain things clearly because Veronica kept urging Theresa to get out.

Ryan had no choice but to tell Veronica the whole story.

"There are hundreds of thousands of fleets docking in Marienburg every day. There are hundreds of registered companies and guilds alone. It is almost impossible for you, Ryan, to trace the whereabouts of the fallen hunters from the dock. It's possible, we need other methods." Veronica pulled Lane: "Let's go to the Shield Block first, go to the Ocean Church and ask about the nearest ship registration, see which ships are from Nord, and then classify them carefully Check."

"It makes sense. All ships entering and leaving must be registered with the Ocean Church, and they need to purchase a Poseidon compass and a Poseidon mark!" Ryan immediately thought of the specific steps: "Just check which ships sail from the Nord port , the targets we need to find are greatly reduced!”

"That's right, how about it? Trovik can't think of this, right?" The witch kissed Ryan on the face: "Let's go, my partner, as usual, you go deal with the priest, I'll ask the secretary official."

"No problem!" Ryan was very happy. The relationship between the two people had never become estranged because of their short separation. Instead, they became closer because of the enhancement of their respective abilities.

This is what partners and partners are.
