Chapter 488 The Warlock Kingdom is founded? ! !

Just say it.

Ailin stared at Tissaia de Vris in silence for a long time.

The air was saturated with cold, vague murderous intent.

When it comes to taking a stand, people have always relied on the strong and for their own interests.

It is obvious at this moment that at the left and right ends of the balance of interests, the weight of the two largest forces, the Wolf School and the Risberg Civil Partnership, Ban Ade, and the Wizarding Society, is completely unbalanced.

There is no need for an obvious comparison. Just look at Philippa Ehrhart’s alert and eager look and you will know that she didn’t think that Tissaia de Vries would agree to it at all.

The same was true for Vesemir and Dante, who were about to draw their swords from their scabbards.

The atmosphere in the room was tense.

To be honest, even Ailin himself was not completely sure about convincing Tissaia de Vris.

The image of Tissaia de Vris in the previous life’s work as a maintainer of order is indeed good, but this does not mean that the real Tissaia de Vris standing in front of Ailin is exactly the same person as in the original work.

Since crossing over, Ailin has experienced many huge differences between reality and fiction.

Moreover, people will grow, corrupt, sublimate and degenerate with the passage of time, with various experiences and with the different people they meet.

The present timeline is nearly a hundred years away from the original timeline of the coup on Thaned Island.

A hundred years later, Tissaia de Vries might be the just person who is dedicated to maintaining order, but who knows whether she has experienced some major changes that rewrite her life on her way to the future.

Donny, who risked his life to go to Cintra to marry Princess Pavetta, was not necessarily as ruthless as the later Nilfgaard Emperor Emhyr var Emreis, “the white flame dancing on the graves of his enemies.”

What’s more, order and justice have always been two words with different meanings.

“Why do you think you are more worthy of protection than them?” She glanced at Vesemir and Dante, who were tense, and asked with interest, “Why do you think you are more worthy of protection than them?”

When Tishaya de Vries said this, Ailin frowned, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

“Because we are maintaining order and they are destroying it.”

“The Demon Hunters may not be as powerful as other forces in terms of power and strength, but when it comes to their contribution to the order, they are no worse than any other force.”

After hearing this, Tissaia de Vries looked into Ailin’s eyes for a long time in silence, then suddenly smiled and said, “No one can deny this.”

“Dean?” Philippa Ehart’s face froze and she looked at Tissaia de Vries in astonishment.

“What Arlin said is right. Demon hunters contribute much more to order than those warlocks who always say they are working for all of humanity but only know how to scheme, fight for power, and pursue personal gain.”

Tissaia de Vries nodded.

“But…” Philippa Ehrhart glanced at Ayling, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Obviously, not all patrol warlocks have the heart of a fresh graduate from the academy who is not afraid of power. Some people thrive in the river of desire for power and ambition.

Considering it was Philippa Eilhart, it wasn’t surprising.

In the original novel, in order to consolidate her power, she even assassinated her lover, Sigismund Dijkstra, the head of the Redanian intelligence organization. Not to mention the current trouble, which has basically nothing to do with Aretusa.

Philippa Eilhart, who is striving to move forward, does not want her backers to get into big trouble like Ben Ade and the Risberg Civil Partnership because of a few witch hunters.

Tishaya de Vries snorted coldly:
“The wizarding society is becoming increasingly corrupt, and some warlocks are simply lawless in private.”

“Using innocent civilians for experiments, summoning demons with magic spells to massacre villages as sacrifices, researching necromancy, and disrupting the order of the spirit world…”

“I don’t know since when has selling fake medicine and fake magic props to cheat people out of money become considered a decent sorcerer?”

“Philippa…” Tissaia de Vries tilted her head to look at her apprentice, “Since the ancient Novigrad Alliance, the existence of the Wizarding Society should be to use laws to restrain and manage the wizards of the Northern Kingdom, so as to prevent the most powerful magical force in the world from getting out of control…”

“He should be the most powerful and just force to bridge conflicts, guide humanity, and maintain order.”

“Because of its power, when it turns against humanity and destroys order, it will inevitably cause the most serious disaster.”

“When it develops to that point, the Wizarding Society itself will be hit hard.”

“Philippa, maintaining order is the responsibility of the Wizarding Society, and it is also our responsibility.”

Philippa Ehart looked into Tissaia de Vries’ eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Tissaia de Vries nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Aylin: “Aylin, I will bear witness for you.”

Vesemir and Dante were both stunned for a moment and relaxed their tense hands.

They didn’t expect that Ailin’s unreliable suggestion would actually come true.

Tissaia de Vris, who stood at the top of the sorceresses, actually gave up the wizards’ council and stood on their side.

“Thank you, Ms. Tisaya,” Ailin also breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude.

“It’s not because of you. I’m just on the side of order.” Tishaya de Vris shook her head and looked at the confused Evans. “Remove the seal. Let’s find out who is behind him first. I think you brought him here for this purpose.”

Arryn nodded slightly and glanced at Vesemir.

Vesemir was about to wave his hand to lift the seal.

“Wait!” Ianna suddenly spoke up to stop him. “Don’t worry, since Ailin said there were three witnesses, let’s invite Duke Mason here and then interrogate him. This will save him from having to torture him a second time.”

Tishaya de Vries was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Boom~”

Without any movement from Tissaia de Vris, an orange portal appeared silently in the room.

“Philippa, go find Agatha and ask her to invite Duke Mason over.”

“Yes, Dean.” Philippa Ehrhart walked towards the portal.

“Nenneke, you go with us and explain the situation clearly.” Ianna patted the back of Nenneke’s hand, then looked at Ailin, “Anything else you want?”

“It would be better to invite another bard.” Ailin did not hesitate and directly stated his request.

“What a brat who won’t take any loss. Grandmaster Soi is really lucky.” Ianna smiled and looked very satisfied. She said to Nenneke, “Then ask Mason who is the best bard in Elland. Please come over too.”

So many troubles were related to him. It was a good thing that Chief Soi didn’t expel him from the Wolf School… Ailin thought.

Of course, there were outsiders in the room, so Ailin just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Yes.” Nenneke glanced at Arlin, also smiling.

Philippa Eilhart, who was silent and thinking about something, and Nenneke walked into the portal one after another.

“Boom~”

The portal disappears.

Perhaps because it involved the dirty secrets of the Taoist Wizards, although Tissaia de Vris agreed to be a witness, she was obviously in a bad mood.

Everyone else, including Ianna, waited in silence for Duke Mason’s arrival, except for Ailin. He thought of the purpose of Tishaya de Vries’s visit, which she had never said, and took this opportunity to ask:
“Ms. Tisha, what do you want to ask us for? As long as we can do it, we will never refuse.”

Even if Tissaia de Vries really chose to stand on the opposite side of the two major forces of the Wizarding Society for the sake of order, Aylin really owed her a favor. Her testimony meant that she would take the initiative to speak out for the Wolf School in the Wizarding Society and prevent the wizards of Ban Ade and Lisberg Civil Partnership from confusing right and wrong.

Aretusa and Tissaia de Vris will definitely suffer real losses in terms of interests.

Human relationships can only last long if there is give and take.

Upon hearing this, Tishaya de Vries glanced at Ianna beside her and said:

“You can still do this.”

Noticing her gaze, Ianna frowned.

Tissaia de Vries did not make her request immediately. Instead, she remained silent for two seconds, organized her words, and suddenly changed the subject:

“Did you know that I sent someone to Aedirn a few days ago to inquire about the situation?”

Before he finished speaking, Vesemir and Dante pricked up their ears.

“What about the destruction of Kaedwen?” Ailin frowned.

“That’s right,” Tissaia de Vries nodded. “My people told me that on the first day he arrived at Vengerburg, he found that the streets and alleys of Vengerburg were filled with the good news that Aedirn was about to annex Kaedwen.”

“The prisoners of war were taken back to Vengerburg. Among the captured nobles were many nobles from the north of Ard Kalai…”

“Um……”

Tissaia de Vries paused: “I’m not referring to those knights, or rather, not just knights…”

“Men, women, old people, children, they were wearing noble robes, but their faces were full of fear. In cages, they came to Vengerberg in Aedirn, along with their wealth, their former wealth…”

“The war between Aedirn and Kaedwen has apparently reached its final stage.”

“So, yes Aylin…”

“Kaedwen is not far from being destroyed and completely annexed by Aedirn.”

The three demon hunters looked at each other.

This was already expected, so when several demon hunters, including Dante, heard the news of Kaedwen’s destruction, they were not at all moved.

Perhaps compared to Evans’s conspiracy, which is closely related to him, Kaedwen’s survival seems less important.

“So what does this matter have to do with us?” Vesemir asked.

Although there are probably not many forces in the northern continent that hope that Aedirn will annex Kaedwen, they cannot expect their Wolf School, which consists of less than a hundred witchers, to turn the tide for Kaedwen.

What’s more, the relationship between the school and Kaedwen is at a freezing point.

“Don’t be impatient, just listen to me.”

Tishaya de Vries smoothed the lace on her right sleeve and said slowly, “On the second day of my people’s lurking in Vengerburg, they obtained some additional intelligence from certain channels.”

“Although Wengerberg was in the joy of victory in the war, the king had a big temper a few days before his arrival.”

“About what?” Ianna asked curiously, “The Kaedwen forces counterattacked?”

“No,” Tishaya de Vries shook her head. “My people haven’t found out the specific details yet, but the news that has been spread should have nothing to do with the counterattack.”

“It is said that on that day, Demaevi II yelled ‘Wild Hunt! Wild Hunt!’ and smashed a lot of things in the palace…”

“I think the Aedirn army must have been attacked by the Wild Hunt and suffered heavy losses.”

Aelin raised an eyebrow, remembering the Wild Hunt team that walked out of the spiral.

“But this still has nothing to do with Arryn and the others,” Ianna frowned. “To put it bluntly, whether it’s the other kings of the northern continent or the wizards’ council, they should be very happy to see Aedirn suffer a setback, right?”

“We really don’t want this war to continue,” Tissaia de Vries answered simply, “but the next development is not what we want to see, or what most people in the wizard association want to see.”

“What development?”

Tishaya de Vries looked around and whispered, “My people heard that the Ban Ade and Risberg Civil Partnership has made new moves.”

“They absorbed the remnants of Kaedwen’s army and nobles, and seem to want to establish a kingdom of sorcerers.”

“What? The Warlock Kingdom?!” Ianna slammed the armrest, her face changed drastically, “How dare they blatantly violate the ancient covenant of the Novigrad Alliance!”

The Covenant of the Novigrad Alliance, humanity’s first supernatural organization, is essentially a non-interference treaty signed between the rulers of the northern continent and the mages, druids, and priests.

The core is that extraordinary people who control magic cannot seize worldly power.

Humans manage humans, mages manage mages, priests manage priests, druids manage druids…

Of course, due to the development of history, absolute distinction does not exist.

For example, although the Wizarding Society is an organization where warlocks manage warlocks, it inevitably needs many ordinary humans to deal with the secular world and commerce.

Towns with the largest concentrations of warlocks are often Ban Ader, Lisberg, and Aretuza, where in fact the entire city is controlled by warlocks.

Priests cannot preach without the common people.

Ordinary human nobles will also try every means to spread their influence to the Wizarding Society and other organizations.

These have formed a kind of tacit understanding of unspoken rules, but establishing a warlock kingdom is an absolute taboo.

“Is the news reliable?” Ailin asked.

I heard that is not an accurate word.

“It can’t be wrong!” Tissaia de Vris did not mention the source of her confidence, but her tone was firm.

There was silence in the room for a long time.

It’s not that I don’t have any questions to ask, but there are too many of them and I don’t know where to start.

The first place to be affected by the establishment of the Warlock Kingdom was of course Aedirn, followed by Kaer Morhen in Kaedwen.

How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Besides, the ruler of the Warlock Kingdom knows without asking that there is hardly any other candidate except Sonny.

“I don’t know how much damage Aedirn suffered in the Wild Hunt’s attack. If the damage is huge, the School of the Wolf will be in danger…” Arryn frowned and thought.

“But you still didn’t say what you want to do?” Ianna thought for a moment and looked up at Tissaya de Vris.

The candle flame kept jumping and trembling in the darkness, and wax tears flowed on the candlestick like a small waterfall.

“The Wizarding Society would like to entrust the Wolf School with a commission…”

Tissaia de Vries took a deep breath and stared into Arlin’s azure cat eyes:

“I entrust you with the task of rescuing Heng Gedimides.”
