The entire Northland belongs to the territory of witches.
The thirteen witch factions that were once extremely powerful divided the entire Northland into thirteen closely related sub-territories, and what was guarded by them in the center was a neutral territory with an area of hundreds of miles.
The seat of the witch council, Verning!
Seriously speaking, Weierning is actually a huge city with a population of nearly 300,000. And the most well-known thing in the city is the parliament hall located in the center of the city, a sacred place only for witch leaders to meet and discuss.
Because each witch faction has its own territory, and it dominates all external affairs in the territory. Therefore, it is not a big event involving multiple witch factions, the witch leaders will not waste their precious time going to this 'remote' place to argue endlessly at the conference table.
Therefore, this Verning has always been under the guardianship of the Sedarseria family, a witch-neutral family. In order to maintain their justice and fairness, the Saidarseria family vowed to protect Weining for life, and would never let the family's strength outweigh Weining in the slightest.
Relying on the constraints of this ancient oath, even though there are only seven of the thirteen witch factions left, and the territories of the surrounding factions have changed many times in the vicissitudes of life, the iron mask banner of the Sedarseria family But it has always been flying over Verning, and has never changed.
It was a quiet and peaceful afternoon idle time.
Just as Uzzah was patrolling the sky around Verning on a broomstick with five apprentice witches, he suddenly saw a black spot appearing in the distant sky.
Has an outsider come to Werning
Uzzah frowned, swiped the broomstick under him with his hand, turned around and flew towards the black spot with the people.
One or two hundred meters away, Uzzah, the patrol captain, couldn't help frowning.
There were three people who came, and they were riding on a magic carpet, which is also the most commonly used means of transportation for the witches of the Northland during group activities.
Three people on the blanket.
Kneeling at the very front, the one who is carefully controlling the magic carpet to fly is an apprentice witch. Judging from his appearance and figure, he seems to be only eight or nine years old. And the apprentice's tunic she was wearing was of a strange style, and the chest badge seemed to be engraved with a scale symbol. This was the first time Uzza Witch had seen such a chest badge in the past hundred years.
And behind the apprentice witches, sat cross-legged two real witches with strange looks.
The one in the lead was wearing a beautiful purple robe of stars, with long silver hair like satin hanging over his shoulders, and his face was extremely soft and peaceful. There is a pair of impressive azure blue eyes in Danfeng's long and narrow eyes, which give people a coquettish and mysterious taste in the flashing light.
And the witch at the end seemed weirder.
Her figure was so strong and stocky that she no longer looked like a woman, wearing a pair of pirate eyepatch, wearing a blue leather armor, and a thick wooden staff with the size of a bowl in her hand looked heavy.
Riding a broomstick and standing in front of the magic carpet, Witch Uzza looked at the comers many times, but she couldn't match them with the known witches in her mind.
Finally, she couldn't help but speak.
"I'm sorry, the city of Verning is ahead! If you want to visit here, please return to the ground and follow the rules. Otherwise..."
According to the rules handed down from ancient times, ordinary witches are not allowed to fly within 30 miles around Verning City, and must accept the full supervision of the witches of the Sedarseria family. The only exceptions are the witch leader and the Sedarseria family witches who exist as defenders!
It's just that these rules have become a little looser because the witch council has gradually become a decoration over the years. If it was thousands of years ago, ordinary witches dared to barge into the surrounding area of Verning City like this, and the witches of the Sedarseria family would have taken it away, and they would have stepped forward so politely to persuade them to leave.
"As far as I know, some witches have the right to fly directly to the parliament hall!" The beautiful witch in purple robe suddenly spoke, her voice was low and pleasant, but there was a hint of mighty authority that could not be disobeyed.
"Of course, that's what the Witch Council has stipulated." A contemptuous smile appeared on the face of Witch Uzza: "But that regulation is only for the witch leaders of each faction. Ordinary witches can..."
Before she could finish speaking, Uzza Witch's voice suddenly stopped, because she saw a mysterious card exuding colorful glare in the raised hand of the beautiful witch.
"Destiny card?" Witch Ursa was able to become the captain of the inspection, and her knowledge was obviously much wider than that of ordinary people. Sensing the authentic mysterious power on the card, she couldn't help saying: "You... you are... Alice, the Witch of Destiny?"
Although the Saidarseria family guarded the city of Verning and never interfered with the private turmoil of the witch faction, they had heard a little about the reopening of the Tower of Destiny and the reappearance of the Witch of Destiny.
During the battle of destiny that year, the Sedarseria family also sent one or two representatives to watch the ceremony, and when they returned, they all described the newly-appeared destiny witch Alice as a mysterious and unpredictable figure.
"I am Alice, the leader of the Witches of Destiny, and I need to go to the hall of parliament now. What, are you planning to stop me?" Alice stared coldly at the witch of the Sedarseria family.
"Don't dare... Uzzah is willing to lead the way for you!"
Although the person standing opposite Uzzah was only a level 1 witch, the 'halo' of the witch leader on the opponent's head was not something she could easily offend.
Therefore, in the face of the powerful Witch of Destiny, Alice, Witch Ursa could only get out of the way, and flew with them to the city of Verning.
An hour later, the melodious bells of the Witch Council Hall resounded throughout the city.
Hearing the bell, many residents of Verning City walked out of their houses, gathered on the street and looked at the parliament hall from where the bell sounded.
For most people, this bell sound is quite unfamiliar, and it also makes them feel at a loss!
But for some old people, the sound of the bell brought back the distant memories buried in their memory.
"This bell... I know... It's the bell of the council of the chief witches... I remember, I remember... my gray-haired grandfather described this bell to me when I was a child..."
Hearing the excited shout of the old man, everyone who heard it couldn't help being stunned.
Most of them have lived in Verning City all their lives, but this is the first time they have heard such bells. Could it be... Could it be that the dusty council of witches is about to be held again
"Witch meeting? Could it be that all the witch leaders will come when they hear the bell?" Someone asked in confusion.
"They will definitely come... As long as they are still the witches of the Northland, they will definitely come after hearing this bell..." Amidst the discussions, the old man's weak shout seemed a little hoarse.
As the former center of power in the North, the city of Verning has been silent for too long!
Now suddenly hearing the century-old stingy bell ringing again, an unconcealable torrent surged in the hearts of all city residents, and their faces were filled with excitement and joy.
A wave of cheers, a piece of dancing, turned the city of Villing into a sea of joy almost instantly!
And just as the city residents celebrated spontaneously, countless trainee witches wearing the badges of the Sedarseria family stepped on their broomsticks, rushed out of Verning City, and flew towards the territories of other witch factions.
...
Alice, who had just ascended to the position of leader of the Witch of Destiny for less than a year, unexpectedly used her leader power to send a proposal to all witch factions to call a witch conference.
For a moment, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the whole Northland became restless, and everyone was talking about it, wondering what the newly appointed leader of the Witch of Destiny was going to do.
And the various witch factions are even more puzzled, not knowing how to deal with this spoiler who plays cards out of common sense.
According to the tradition left by the ancient witches, only the leader of the witches can initiate a motion to convene a council of witches, and then resolve some difficult internal issues of the witches through a mass vote.
However, with the passage of time, all the witch factions have devoted their energies to the expansion and development of their territories, and they have paid less and less attention to the witch council, which once belonged to the highest authority of witches in the Northland. Even if there were occasional disputes between factions, they were mostly settled by the leaders of several factions gathered together through negotiation, and rarely resorted to the 'big killer' of the Witch Council.
So invisibly, the Witch Council was gradually emptied, and it became a rubber stamp that the existing major witch factions sent people to take turns to manage some neutral public cities.
However, the prestige of the Witch Council will only be dusted, but it will not be erased.
So when the bell of the council hall in Verning City rang again, the entire Northland was turned upside down by it.
Even though they were not optimistic about that Witch Alice, and even though they didn't want the Witch Council to overtake them again, when the bell rang, all the witch leaders could only put aside the affairs at hand with a dark face and travel thousands of miles away. He rushed to that familiar yet unfamiliar place, Verning City.
All of a sudden, the surrounding area of Villing City was once again turbulent, and a large number of witches came here every day without hesitation. On the third day when the bell rang, even the leader of the pale witch who was farthest from here appeared in the hall of the council.
So far, all the witch leaders in the entire Northland have gathered in Verning City.
After a lapse of 132 years, a new council of witches was held.
...
The so-called parliament hall is actually nothing more than an ancient fortress-style castle.
And the place where the witch leaders hold their council is, after all, just a dark hall on the second floor of the castle.
On the wall of the side hall, there are three long and narrow windows. Since the sun is difficult to penetrate, even in the daytime, a torch needs to be lit here to illuminate every corner.
In the side hall, an extremely ordinary long table was placed in the middle, and fourteen rough wooden high-backed chairs were placed along the edge of the table. Except for a black high-back chair placed at one end of the long table, the other thirteen chairs are placed on both sides of the long table.
The corresponding witch logo is etched on the seat surface of each high-back chair.
However, at this moment, only eight people sat in the thirteen high-back chairs, and the other five chairs were still empty. As for the black high-back chair on the table, no one dared to approach it easily.
According to legend, the black high-backed chair was the seat of the Witch King.
Here, no one dares to offend the majesty of the Witch King!
Although she has stepped outside the territory for tens of thousands of years.
