Chapter 115: The Gathering

The historic moment finally arrived, when Salian and Sebastian were taken by the three witches into a carriage that had been prepared in front of the inn, and then Teresa and Elubi respectively wore black blindfolds so that they would not know where they were going. The www.biquge.info then the carriage, without any insignia, sped off, and Salian felt the car jolt and the noise around them disappeared, indicating that they were out of town. After a while, he heard the sound of the river and the clatter of wheels against planks, and it must have been some kind of river. After galloping like this for about an hour, the horses' wheezing gradually increased, and it seemed that they had reached their limit.

"Salian, Sebastian, we're here, please take off the mask!"

The two of them took off their masks as requested, calmed down a little, and regained their eyesight. After jumping out of the car, I saw an ancient castle surrounded by forests, which was a knightly fortress that could be found everywhere in the Divine Grace Empire, but now the red sky and the dark vegetation on the outer walls of the ancient castle gave it a terrifying atmosphere. The carriage stopped outside the gate by the wall, and there was a beautiful purple-haired girl in the avant-garde clothes waiting for them at the door, and Sally looked at it steadily, this was not the "street witch". It turns out that Salian was wrong, she was actually a fake witch, and she was lurking in Pumpkin Town in the guise of a street girl for the mission.

"Salian, Sebastian, this is our liaison in Pumpkin Town, Miss Rosamia the 'Dementor Witch'. ”

The witch winked at Salian and said, "Jiuyang, you are Salian von Hohenstringen, the important minister of the Divine Grace Empire. ”

"Down there is none other than the Duke of New Mark, the beautiful Miss Rosa Mia. ”

"And this must be the Imperial Count of Sebastian von Ridlingen, as you can tell from the chilling sword on your back. The names of the two of you are well known even to me, the lowest level of the Empire. Hehe, and, Your Excellency the Imperial Count, your nickname 'Soul Reager' is very similar to mine!"

Under Elluby's sharp gaze, Sebastian said solemnly: "Hehe, this is just a compliment from my friends, don't take it seriously. ”

After some pleasantries, Rosamia led the group to the inside of the castle. Although it may seem ordinary, Salian can feel that the entire castle is shrouded in a network of magical defenses. On the walls of the hall are many famous oil portraits of witches and witches of the past who have not been kind but very beautiful.

Rosa Mia told the four to wait in the hall for a while, and she went to tell the people in the inner hall that they had arrived, and Salian invited her to do her own thing, and then admired and evaluated the characters in the painting with Sebastian. Soon, they heard numerous crisp footsteps approaching. The door opened, and there were six beauties in the hall, including Rosa Mia, who had their own merits, a moment that was only experienced by the two men in the world. One of them was a particularly good woman who could even compete with Hilda behind Salian. And they are all girls in their twenties, and they all seem to be new members, and the figures of the older generation have all withdrawn from the stage of history.

Rosa Mia then said, "Hehe, two distinguished guests, all the members of our organization have arrived, counting the latest addition, Miss Hilda, there are nine of us in total, please join us in the meeting." On the one hand, everyone can discuss the matter of forming an alliance, and on the other hand, your political experience can also help us. ”

"Oh, it's already an honor for me to be able to participate in your great gathering with such a high esteem!" Salian and Sebastian gave the standard chivalric salute to the new girls.

Then, Rosamia introduced the five witches to Salian and his party, they are the "Mourning Witch" Anko, who is good at prophecy and uses traditional crystal balls, and comes from a famous family of astrologers in the western part of the empire, the "Dream Weaver Witch" Sizella, who is a master of spirit and illusion and combines dark and light magic, Ilona, the manipulator of Mana, who is good at offensive black magic, and the "Soul Summoning Witch", who is strong in summoning and spiritism Finally, there's the most beautiful of all, Judith, the "Witch of Judgment" with dark brown waterfall hair, who wears a combination of silver plate armor and pure white robes, and can easily use dark magic while wielding all kinds of weapons. They also returned the salute to Salian and Sebastian one by one.

Sally thought at ease, together with the "Dementor Witch" Rosa Mia, the "Styx Witch" Hilda, the new generation of "Skynet Witch" Elupi and the "Dark Witch" Teresa, this is the most evil organization in the Empire's legends, the core members of the heretical "Witches and Witches Friendship and Mutual Aid Summit" that is not tolerated by the Church, the "Nine Great Witches"! Now that they are regrouped, they can naturally form a terrifying force, and it must be a very cost-effective thing to form an alliance with these beauties.

After the introduction, Judith led everyone to the secret conference room under the castle. According to Rosamia, the level of defense here is comparable to that of the palace vaults, the surrounding walls are made of three-meter-thick granite, the door is made of one-meter-thick magic titanium alloy, the entire conference room is equipped with a poison gas filter, and has an independent backup air and water source, with a five-fold magic defense net, which can be said to be one of the safest places in the whole empire.

The participants sat down at a large long conference table, with two men sitting at the end as non-voting guests. The meeting was presided over by Miss Judith, who was not only the most beautiful, but also the most powerful leader of the witches. From a mysterious imperial family of the East.

"Colleagues, we are gathering here today to reinvigorate the organization, so that we witches and witches can once again stand in the light of day and save thousands of our sisters. Her impassioned words made the other witches' blood boil as well, and then she continued.

"The church's dog-like bastards are not going to let us succeed easily, even though its organization is now rotten and degenerate, imposing taxes on a large scale, and clergy bullying men and women and not keeping the precepts. Recently, however, I received information that the Pope had organized an intra-church group called the Evangelical Society for Salvation, relying on a small group of Orthodox fanatics, who supposedly came directly under the Pope and swore absolute loyalty to the Pope and would resolutely carry out whatever orders he ordered. These guys specialize in capturing witches and other infidels, brutally torturing them before burning them at the stake. Originally confined to Itcanlia and Murasen, it has gradually expanded to include FranΓ§os, Itcanlia, and the Empire of Divine Grace. We need to be on guard against them. ”

It was the first time that Salian had heard of such a tight organization in the Pope, and it seemed that the reformers within the Church knew that if they did not make some changes, they would lose everything they possessed. He felt that he should give some advice to help these girls at this time, so he thought about it. At the same time, the witches have already started a heated discussion.

"I seem to have heard of it, so why don't we find an opportunity to secretly kill a few of their important leaders?" Cezella, the "Dream Weaver Witch" from the south, suggested first.

"Our strength is too weak to withstand the retaliation of these people if we are detected. Teresa was cautious and learned a bit about political struggle around Sallian.

"Then negotiate with them and sign a non-aggression pact!" Rosamia the "Dementor Witch" offers her idea.

"It's too risky, they're all made up of the most die-hard church elements, and there's little chance of compromise. Judith replied.

"Alas, can we only live in the shadows forever in the shadows?"

"Haha, I have a note, I wonder if you're interested?!" Salian spoke.

"How could it not be welcome, we need an experienced figure like you to designate a maze for us!"

"Thank you, then I'll be bold and outspoken. You can actually set up an upright organization, for example, through universal activities such as saving lives, opening schools, etc., and with the support of the masses, even those sanctimonious clergy will not be so easy even if they want to fight your idea. ”

"Oh, your Excellency's attention is so good that it's so overwhelming!" said Miss Judith in surprise.

"Salian is so clever, it was the right thing to bring you!" Teresa couldn't help but boast about her lover.

"Well, further," said the Duke of New Mark, still unfazed, "wouldn't it be better if we could also get on the line with some of the feudal powers of the Empire, or directly with the lords who don't take the church seriously?"

"Hehe, what you want most is for us all to be vassals of the New Mark Principality!? Immediately, Salian's purpose was seen through by Miss Judith.

"How can it be, you are all maverick women of the new era, it is impossible to be at the mercy of men, I just want to form an alliance with you on an equal footing, and I have no thoughts of separation. Salian replied very calmly.

"But it's a good idea. Let us vote fairly, sisters, on the two proposals put forward by His Excellency the Duke of New Mark, the establishment of a welfare organization and the conclusion of a treaty of alliance. Miss Judith proposed her plan, and as a natural leader, she did not want to be arbitrary.

Rosamia, who was also from the eastern part of the empire and had the closest relationship with her, immediately said, "Well, nine of us, according to the rules passed down from generation to generation, a simple majority can pass the proposal. "She's also a great candidate for a secretary.

In this case, everyone voted by a show of hands in the fairest way, and Salian, who had three fixed votes, naturally succeeded without suspense, and then it was time for the specific operation.

After a lively discussion among the girls (for two hours, Salian had a good night's sleep), the name of the organization that contributes to the charity of the Divine Empire is called the "New Women's Development Association of the Divine Grace Empire". The name not only points to the organization's focus on women's rights, but also facilitates the expansion of its functions in the future. At present, the "Federation" is temporarily focused on helping women in the Divine Grace Empire fight for their legitimate rights. Miss Judith was the right person to be the president, and in order to show goodwill to Salion, Teresa was unanimously elected vice president, and the other girls also held their own positions.
