Warhammer Divine Throne-Chapter 656 - 289, Jialan Grand Assembly (Part 1)_2

If it had been Teresa from a few years ago, she would have undoubtedly voted against it, and she might even have sought her mother to find a way to prevent Veronica from joining the Elder Council.

Simply because she didn't like it.

But that was herself from several years ago. Ever since that journey from Frost City, traveling with Laine around Nord for several weeks, the female sorcerer has been striving to grow, going to Laine's domain was both a blow and a training for her. The current Teresa is already more willing to think things through.

Teresa finally shook her head gently, and the female sorcerer picked up the feather pen.

"In favor."

......

Veronica successfully joined the Elder Council, and she will establish a branch in Brittania as a special Elder. In the future, the Jialan Council will allocate more resources to her.

After the grand assembly concluded, it was lunchtime, and the witches dispersed. The next meeting will commence in three days; there are many accumulated matters that the Jialan Witches need to vote on one by one.

The doors opened, and over a hundred female members of the Jialan Council came out of the venue, the sound of heels tapping the floor resounding incessantly.

"Our Speaker has achieved another minor victory." The mature and beautiful Aurora, single-handedly linking arms with Teresa, stood straight like a tall pine tree: "But that's not important. What's important is that my daughter, you voted in favor, and I'm delighted."

"Laine is a cake, and now this cake has grown so large that one person can't finish it." Teresa shook her head lightly: "Veronica has already taken a large slice; now it's my turn to cover the remaining part. On this issue, I must support Veronica."

Aurora nodded with her eyes closed: "You did the right thing, my daughter, you have truly grown up."

"In the evening, I'm going to dine with Speaker Margarita and Your Majesty Caroline. Recently, the Northern Barbarians along the Linsk River on Kislev's northern border and the Giant Demon Realm have been restless." Aurora whispered: "Would you like to join us?"

"I..." Teresa thought for a moment and shook her head: "No, it wouldn't be meaningful for me to go."

Aurora was somewhat surprised, as her daughter had always enjoyed following in her footsteps.

"Alright, arrange your time as you wish." Aurora said no more, though the Holy Sanctuary Witch had tried persuading her daughter to cease her pursuit. Laine was already engaged to a Duke's daughter, with Veronica by his side. The room left for Teresa was limited; however, seeing Teresa's firm attitude and acknowledging Laine's significant prospects, Aurora decided to continue supporting her daughter.

This personality really is like mine.

Leaving her mother's room, Teresa returned to her own quarters. The luxurious room of the female sorcerer was filled on the left with all sorts of magic scrolls and books, as well as a large mirror, while on the right were several large wardrobes filled with clothes and shoes, jewelry.

The center of the room had a soft bed, which was Teresa's resting place during this period. A few thick books lay by the bedside, being the High Gothic Language textbooks given by Laine, alongside the epic compiled using High Gothic Language given by Mogiana. Recently, the female sorcerer had been struggling to learn High Gothic, and she felt that whenever she closed her eyes, images of Holy Grail Knights battling evil would immediately appear before her.

The female sorcerer had to substitute Laine's face with those of the Holy Grail Knights to feel somewhat better.

"Miss!" In the room was a young witch apprentice named Emma, one of this year's new witch apprentices in the Jialan Council with a high talent in Ice Element. Aurora had used many means to bring her under her wing.

"Emma, you may leave now; I need to rest a bit."

"Yes."

After the witch apprentice left, Teresa sighed lightly. The female sorcerer took a bath, changed into a refreshing white nightgown, letting the pearl necklace gifted by Laine hang on her ample bosom, and quietly leaned against the bedhead.

The soft mattress and feather pillows brought Teresa a sense of comfort, although outside the window snow continued to howl. The female sorcerer attempted to look at the High Gothic Language textbooks briefly, but the overwhelming fatigue made her instinctively put down the book. The icy female sorcerer sighed lightly; Veronica's affair was only secondary. Now that Laine has become a Count, the two witches have reached an agreement.

What truly troubles Teresa is the construction of her Wizard Tower, which she plans to raise twenty thousand Gold Crowns for.

Veronica's Wizard Tower construction cost roughly twenty-eight thousand Gold Crowns in total. If it weren't for her luck in joining Laine in Marinburg to eliminate the Aesthetic Society for a stunning income, and Laine being a person of deep affection, her Wizard Tower wouldn't have been built so easily.

But Teresa couldn't find the money. She lacked Veronica's luck — first, the coincidence of the Duke of Marinburg being Laine's acquaintance, then the coincidence of partaking in eradicating the Aesthetic Society, and finally the coincidence of encountering a good man like Laine who wouldn't appropriate Veronica's income.

This is a considerable sum, enough to make any man turn their back.

Teresa often questioned how there could be so many coincidences in the world, yet they happened.

This matter she could no longer discuss with her mother, as the female sorcerer had some understanding of the family's finances. Aurora agreeing to provide eight thousand Gold Dinars (eight thousand Gold Crowns) was already a significant amount, and Teresa knew she couldn't ask her mother for more.
