What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 227 Separation and Alliance

Although there was no delay along the way, it took Veronica nearly two months to reach Winter City from Osteria.

Although there are flying monsters in this world, many deficiencies limit its use, such as extremely expensive breeding and training, and difficult manipulation, etc., especially in terms of manning, unless it is a well-trained magician, ordinary people even It does not fall off, and it is difficult to withstand long-term air flight.

The most important thing is that flying a flying mount over the airspace of other countries, especially the airspace of the capital, will be regarded as a kind of provocation—even though it is actually difficult to carry out decent "air combat" in this world.

Therefore, as the ambassador of Tulum, Veronica can only honestly ride in a carriage of honor no matter whether she visits the Western Continent back or forth.

Every time you pass through a place, you must also send an envoy to greet the local lord, otherwise it will be regarded as an invasion.

Under such troubles, it was not easy to reach Xia Ya within two months.

However, Veronica, who returned to Twilight City, could not directly enter the fortress like everyone else.

The Kingdom of Tulum does not have a custom like "the two parties cannot meet before the wedding", but as a member of the royal family, Veronica has to abide by more red tape, and the officials of the etiquette are very persistent in this regard.

Therefore, Colin could only comply with Salisbury's request and expeditiously built a secluded villa with a courtyard in Twilight City a few months ago for Veronica to stay before the wedding. In principle, The unmarried couple can only meet at the wedding ten days later.

However, Colin has never been a person who obeys the arrangement. When Matthew personally presided over the construction of this villa, he made a special request-a huge wardrobe needs to be built in the princess' bedroom.

Matthew vaguely felt that this request was not serious, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

……

late at night.

Veronica stood by the window, using her limited field of vision to observe the streets of Twilight City.

All the way into the city, what made her most curious were the wide and flat roads and neat houses.

However, Veronica, who could only sit in the carriage and look out secretly, could see very limited things. Colin had boasted to her countless times about the construction of Twilight City, which aroused her curiosity.

It's a pity that she has to wait more than ten days, after the wedding, before she can see the whole picture of the city.

While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a noise.

She turned her head alertly and looked at the source of the sound, only to be shocked to find that the closet was slowly opened, and a man came out gracefully, and then closed the closet door skillfully.

Veronica seemed to have returned to the time when she was in Osteria two months ago in an instant.

"When I came in, I thought the closet was too conspicuous, but after checking it, there was no magic circle you left before."

"I've improved a little bit."

Colin smiled and did not explain in detail.

He has become more and more experienced in teleportation arrays. In addition to still needing equipment assistance, the magic array itself has become more and more simple, and can be fully integrated into the structure of the wardrobe itself, unless a magician who has studied magic patterns deliberately looks for it. Ordinary people can't notice it at all.

The layout of this room deliberately imitated the bedroom where Veronica lived in Osteria.As before, Colin hugged his fiancée and sat on the chair behind the desk.

"When will Father and Master Roman arrive?"

"It should be in these two days." Colin asked again: "Is your journey going well?"

"It's smoother than when I went." Veronica sighed and frowned: "During this visit, the relationship between Tulum and the Western Continent has been shortened a lot. When I passed by Gilman, Grand Duke Schulz still Come and send them off in person."

"Then why are you still sighing?"

"I'm afraid this situation won't last long."

"Why? Did something important happen?" Colin's mind was indeed not on the Western Continent during this period, but he would show up in Ilia basically every day, confident that he would not miss any important news, especially if it could affect the Western Continent and News from Tulum.

"Speaking of which, it's still an old story." Veronica said: "The Principality of Brighton has clearly expressed its willingness to leave the Youlan Alliance."

"Why haven't I heard of it?" Colin was taken aback.

"This matter is currently only circulated within the federation."

"Then how did you know?"

"Because Brighton's ambassador to Thunder City met His Majesty a few days ago, told the whole story, and proposed an alliance."

"Brighton? With Tulum? An alliance?" Colin was also stunned by this for a moment.

In the eyes of the entire Western Continent, Tulum is a bloated bumpkin.

In addition to doing some dispensable business, the biggest role is to check and balance Osik.

Brighton, as one of the oldest powers in the Western Continent, has no good impression of Tulum, whether it is official or private.

"It's actually not difficult to understand." Veronica said: "Brighton also knows that it is not an easy task to leave the alliance. If they only rely on themselves, even if they succeed, they will shed a layer of skin. Will the union Letting this happen easily, Chairman Verne Silas will definitely try to stop it. Although Brighton is powerful, it cannot compare with the entire Federation. Therefore, it is not an order to propose an alliance with Tulum. An unexpected decision."

Colin nodded. This was really unexpected and reasonable.

For Brighton, looking for foreign aid is nothing more than choosing one of Osik and Tulum.

However, Osik is too powerful, and his ambitions for the entire continent have gradually stopped concealing over the years, and forming an alliance with it is simply like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.

As for the Kingdom of Tulun, it is a typical example of being more than conservative and not aggressive. No matter how you look at it, it is a perfect ally.

Brighton needs a strong enough helper, and Tulum also yearns for higher magical studies.

As long as Brighton is willing to let go of his arrogance, this matter is almost a matter of course.

"What does His Majesty think?" Colin asked.

"If it was before, there would be no need to think about it at all. The Brighton sent to the door can not only weaken the Blue Alliance, but also add a helper. It can kill two birds with one stone."

Veronica said: "But now... our relationship with the Youlan Alliance has just improved, and we will turn around and form an alliance with the independent Principality of Brighton, which will obviously anger the Federation."

Colin was well aware of Veronica's mood.

Once she forms an alliance with Brighton, her Royal Highness the princess's diplomatic achievements in the past few years will be in vain. If she had known this, she might as well have come to Xia Ya and Ke Lin to reunite earlier.

What Ke Lin thought about was how this matter would affect the Banner Magician Association and the Banner Principality's joining the Youlan Alliance.
