At the end of Winter Veil, Ryan and Suria joined forces to do a few things.

The first is that Ryan officially accepted Silvia as his third courtier. This incident was facilitated by Sulia. For this reason, the Duchess even organized a small rally for Sylvia. Ya bought a wedding dress and let Silvia's father Vincent come to the scene and walked through the whole process. In this way, Silvia was equal to the protection and the official status of courtier.

The day after the rally was over, Silvia, the never-resting iron man maid, was forced to ask Sulia for a few days of leave to recuperate before she could barely walk on the ground.

The second thing is that the third turkey banquet was held inside the Duke’s Castle. Emilia and Veronica were absent from this banquet. The fairy of the lake gave a speech at the turkey banquet, emphasizing that about nine months later , Ryan will take the throne in Curona, facing new opportunities and challenges in the new historical period, everyone must seize the opportunities of the times to achieve a "soft landing" in Ryan’s backyard, and never allow anyone to enter their group. Ryan is never allowed to have any chance to go out, and must be strictly controlled from the physical to the psychological.

The proposal was passed unanimously at the meeting.

The third thing is that Aurora and Teresa finally decided to agree to Ryan’s proposal to establish a new newspaper department. Ryan named it the "Seventh Division of the Army". Moussilon, Curona, Lyonasse, Winford and Noor set up branches, and Aurora will send some of his witches to sneak into these cities to carry out reporting work.

After finishing the three things, Ryan moved to Veronica's Tower of Dawn, to see how Veronica was doing.

At this time, the tower of the Wizard of Dawn was already a bit crowded. Obviously, the wealth and climate of Lane Territory were far more comfortable than the harsh environment of Skydome. When the tower of the Wizard of Dawn was built, Veronica took all of her own. The cost, both the living environment and the working environment are top-notch, so many apprentices of witches try to come to Veronica for further training.

Ryan’s appearance triggered the screams of the witch apprentices. A group of little loli dressed in fire-red robes and stepped on small leather boots, showing their immature faces flushed with cold, surrounded Ryan, seemingly because Because of the absence of Veronica, these witch apprentices were so bold and huddled together, rushing to introduce themselves, trying to tell Ryan their name, and even secretly stuffing a small note with the number of their dormitory, Ryan had to With a roar, he signaled everyone to step aside, and then found Veronica's personal apprentice, Catherine, who is now an official Light Witch.

"Catherine, where's Veronica?" Ryan asked directly.

"The instructor retreats on the top floor, attacking the sanctuary." When Catherine first came to Brittania, she was still a shy blond beauty embryo. Now she is a mature and formal witch. Ryan can even vaguely see him and Wei Ronika's sense of sight when she first met: "Can you take me up there?"

"...Please come with me." Catherine hesitated a little, and nodded in agreement. She turned around and motioned to Ryan to follow her upstairs.

Ryan didn't say anything. He followed Catherine and entered the Tower of Dawn Wizard. There were still groups of witch apprentices following Ryan. They pointed and looked at Ryan with worship and obsessive eyes. , It was like looking at a plate of delicious food and some treasure, making Ryan feel like a man on his back.

The most important thing for a wizard to get ahead is resources, and there are generally only two sources of resources.

The first is provided by the instructor. For example, although Veronica was poor before, she was valued by Speaker Margarita, received her pro-guidance and was allowed to enter her private library to borrow books, so at least in the knowledge reserve and magic reserve There is no problem.

The second type is provided by the nobles. For example, Ryan provided Veronica with enough money and a lot of manpower and material resources, and he personally invited Targris to teach, and bought the elves at a high price from the White Tower of Hoss in the Safri Kingdom. Magic book.

Resources may not be able to raise a sanctuary witch, but without resources, a sanctuary witch cannot be raised.

Since the mentor is so successful, the apprentices naturally want to copy the path of the mentor. Unfortunately, Ryan is the only one. After Ryan himself followed Catherine to the sixth floor, the apprentices had to stop here, because the seventh and eighth floors were In Veronica's private area, the stairs from the sixth to the seventh floor were sealed by iron gates. Catherine said to Ryan, "Please stay here for a while, the Duke. I will get the key."

"I have the key." Ryan took out a large magic key from it.

Catherine was shocked when she saw this. She pressed her lips. Ryan had the key and she was slightly shocked. When she saw Ryan, she used the key to open the door. Catherine had to follow Ryan upstairs: "Your Excellency Ryan, please don't be so anxious. , The instructor is attacking the sanctuary, you are not suitable to enter at this time."

"Then when should I come in, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Ryan frowned slightly, and he felt something abnormal from Catherine's behavior.

"Almost twenty minutes later, as soon as the energy tide has passed, you can go up and see the tutor's condition." Catherine said in a low voice, "Please wait for a while in the tutor's office, and I will prepare."

"Okay." Ryan really doesn't know much about magic. He also doesn't know how the wizard breaks through the sanctuary. A few days ago, Teresa mentioned her situation when she wanted to break into the sanctuary. And strengthening her bloodline, and then purifying the bloodline, Teresa is now distressed that she can't find a way to condense her bloodline.

While Catherine was out, Ryan took a closer look at the inside of Veronica's office.

A huge cherry wood desk is full of various documents, and there are some exquisite props. A fountain pen imported from a high elf is different from an ordinary quill pen. This pen can dispense ink evenly for a long time. Many imperial nobles I am proud of having it. There is nothing writing on the table. It can be seen that although Catherine is cleaning it up seriously, Veronica hasn't used this table for a long time.

There are a large number of magic books on the bookshelf on the side. Ryan took a look at it. The books Veronica read the most are the "Haishi's Light Spells" written by the first imperial chief wizard Volan and Yutai The "Analysis of the Origin of Magic" by Gris, the golden book "The Root of Chaos" written by the Lord of Humanity, other than the "Fire of Aksha" and "The Self-cultivation of the White-robed Wizard" are all Vero A book that Nika likes to read, there are a lot of sticky notes in the book.

In addition, Veronica also has a library of her own. If the books in the collection are taken out, they will be robbed by wizards. In this world, printing is a technology that can be corrupted. Books printed using movable type printing will be directly corrupted if they are not protected by churches or wizards. Therefore, the production of magic books can only be carried out in wizard workshops or churches, and there must be a powerful wizard himself. Writing and mass production of magic books is a very troublesome task, and most wizards can only borrow them.

"Well, she still likes this high-end leather sofa and bearskin carpets." Ryan took a close look at the office, which covers an area of ​​about 40 square meters. There are three copper shelves on the high-end bearskin carpets. , At the top of each copper shelf is a transparent glass ball placed on a gold base interlaced vertically and vertically. The glass ball contains the magic of Veronica.

"This is a telescope. Obviously Veronica ordered a new one." Ryan bent down and looked at Veronica's magic props: "I remember this is a communication tool used by the Garland witches. Contact Skydome Castle directly here... Let me try this. How do I start it?"

Ryan stretched out his hand and held it on the transparent glass ball. He wanted to try to use this telescope, but he obviously didn't know how to make it. In this way, the magic prop also recognized Ryan was not its owner, and it fought back angrily. Following Len’s cāo), she resists being used by Len with the sound of scorching surface and metal rubbing.

Displeased!

"Well, I won't move you anymore, I won't move you anymore." Ryan had to withdraw his hand, and Telescope seemed to know that Ryan had a close relationship with the master. After Ryan took his hand back, it also returned to calm.

"What's this for?" Ryan went on to open another cabinet.

Inside is a whole cabinet of high-heeled shoes and high-heeled boots, in various colors, and almost all of them are stilettos of more than five centimeters. There is a dazzling array of items. Ryan smiled and shook his head: "It's the same, she especially likes to wear this stiletto heel. In addition to my love of high heels, she also thinks it helps her build self-confidence and show her beauty."

There was a large husky doll in the corner of the office. Ryan walked over and picked up this plush husky doll made of real wolf skin: "Oh, my first gift, she still accepts it. Well, I took her back to Norman’s Ortney Castle for the Winter Veil Feast for the first time. We sat in front of the fireplace and ate the apple pie made by our mother. She saw this doll and I must send her to her."

"Your Excellency Duke?" Catherine's voice came from outside the door. Ryan put down the doll when he saw it, but after seeing the witch's dress, Ryan only felt the blue veins on his head jump straight.

In just ten minutes, Catherine took off her original red robe, and the witch’s dress was replaced by a red plaid skirt that was 20 centimeters above her knee, with thick black pantyhose and With small brown leather boots and a white blouse with a red bow tie at the neckline, Catherine, who is already a formal witch, couldn’t stop her looking forward: "That, Lord Duke, the tutor may not be so fast, do you want to... …Take a break in the office first?"

"..." Ryan squinted, and he thought that if Veronica knew about you, you wouldn't know how to die.

"That... Your Excellency?" Seeing Ryan staring at herself, Catherine couldn't help but secretly pleased. She tentatively said: "If you have no objection, I can sit with you for a while..."

"No, no, you can just tell me the specific method and time." Ryan shook his hand: "Go and do your business."

"...Yes." Catherine couldn't help being disappointed. She slowly confessed the matter to Ryan, and then backed away. Seeing Ryan had not said anything to stay, she had to close the door and go out.

Ryan sighed. He knew how popular he was, but he was now very satisfied with the status quo.

Catherine told Ryan how to go upstairs and how to open Veronica's room. Ryan immediately went upstairs when she saw this. The eighth floor of the Wizard Tower was Veronica's private magic workshop and a place to practice magic.

Now, the heavy metal door made of the rune of the dwarf is firmly closed. According to Catherine, after Veronica is closed, the door cannot be opened from the outside, only from the inside.

Obviously, Veronica's plan is to never stop without breaking through the sanctuary.

Ryan checked the door, and there was no sign of damage. Due to the influence of the dwarf demon rune, he did not feel how Veronica's magic power was now. Is she close to success or there is a possibility of failure? Ryan does everything. Can't feel it, thinking that Veronica was inside, Ryan couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

What's going on? I have been in retreat for almost a year, and there is no news at all.

After thinking for a while, Ryan decided to reach out and knock gently on the door a few times: "Veronica? Dear?"

"Dear? I came to see you." Ryan knocked gently on the door a few times again.

Nothing happens in the room.

"Damn it, what the **** is going on." Ryan wanted to knock on the door hard, but was afraid that Veronica would be interrupted by herself when she was concentrating. The figurative feeling of irritability and powerlessness arose in Ryan's heart. He looked at the closed door and stomped his feet, only feeling that the whole thing was strange.

After waiting for more than half an hour in the same place, Ryan couldn't help seeing nothing inside. He moved his gaze to a position on the gate of the magic rune. Above this position, there was a small window. Catherine gave it to Ryan Key, only in the most urgent situation, Veronica Xu Catherine opened this small window.

Ryan hesitated for a few minutes holding the key, and finally decided to use the key to open the small window: "Veronica?"

Looking into the room through the small window, it is simply a purgatory formed by flames and light. Hundreds of magical energies are flying around in disorder, jumping on the wall, too bright light and The blazing temperature made Ryan had to retract his head as soon as he approached. It took a few seconds for the champion of the Lake Fairy to adjust to the heat and bright light. He once again looked intently into the house.

Veronica's shadow was looming in the flames and light.

"Veronica? Can you hear it?" Ryan yelled inside again, but Veronica seemed to be immersed in the path of the Arcane. She didn't respond at all, closing her eyes as if meditating.

Ryan yelled several times again, but there was still no response. The Duke was a little disappointed. It seemed that he had returned without success this time.

But just when Ryan was about to reach out and close the small window and turn away, the sudden change occurred!

A whole hurricane-like air current exploded from the gap in the small window, the magic rune door opened instantly, and the oncoming explosion shock wave blew the unprepared Ryan out, and directly hit the wall of the wizard tower. As if going mad, he ran around with the wind, swallowing everything unscrupulously, and burning the entire environment outside the house into a scorched black!

"Boom!" Ryan hit the wall like a cannonball, and then fell directly to the ground. The hot pain and the shifting of internal organs made him exhale in pain. Fortunately, his physical fitness was amazing and he tried hard. Taking a breath, Ryan immediately stood up and pulled out the nemesis: "Veronica! It's me, what's the matter?!"

"Lai...en?" Veronica's exhausted voice came from the ruins of the training room: "Are you...out there?"

"Yes, it's me!" Ryan heard Veronica's voice and immediately put away the nemesis, and carefully approached the dark smoke room: "I'm here, dear, what's wrong?"

"I... lost... I almost... can't come back." Veronica looked extremely weak. She was lying on the ground, her hair messy, and her dress was covered in damage and burn marks: " It’s the Cthulhu. The magic web of fate weaves has disrupted my perception, and my soul has been trapped in the void for several months."

"Damn! I knew it!" Ryan ran quickly, picking up Veronica: "Damn it! I will pay the price!"

"I succeeded, Ryan, at the most critical moment, I heard... I heard your voice, I heard you calling my name." Veronica leaned weakly on Ryan's: "I feel When it comes, the matrix of orderly light spots, I know, that is you, you are here, and I have found the way to leave."

"I succeeded, Ryan, I have advanced to the sanctuary!"
