Chapter 53
The appearance of the demon brought extremely heavy losses to the capital.
But in the end, the human side won.
The impact of this incident was very significant. The spread of the incident did not need any media to exaggerate, and it had already spread out of the capital by word of mouth.
After all, even the appearance of the demon was seen by many people.
The demon's powerful strength was terrifying, and the frantic tentacles all over the sky shattered the rationality of the people present.
Whether it was the demon's crazy appearance in the academy or the cruel posture in the back mountain at the beginning, both were terrifying.
The horror of the doomsday has become a shadow that people can never erase in their lives.
It was also because of this time that Victor's image and his terrifying magic power were branded in everyone's heart.
The youngest fourth-level wizard in the empire, this incident also quietly spread out of the empire...
.......
Three days later.
Victor sat on the desk, still holding the profound magic book that he never tired of reading.
Vega once complained about him, why he kept holding such a book in his hand.
"Does this book contain some profound magic that even you have to study non-stop?"
But Victor never gave it the answer it wanted.
"The report on the loss of the capital has come down."
At some point, Liya pushed open the door and put a note full of words on Victor's desk.
Victor has become accustomed to Liya walking into his study without knocking or saying hello.
He closed the book, raised his head, and took the note.
It clearly wrote about the losses of various capitals.
Shops, streets, scenic sculptures...
The most serious thing is that the academy was razed to the ground.
The day after the demons were eliminated, the old man Rachel finally rushed back from the magic city.
The previous academy had long disappeared. He looked at the empty land and a huge deep pit in front of him and just sighed slightly.
No one knows how complicated the heart of this great wizard who has devoted all his life to the academy is.
Although everyone knew that the academy was destroyed by Victor, no one would blame Victor.
In the battle with the devil, it was only a matter of time before the academy was destroyed.
Victor's move only accelerated the result and quickly solved the devil to ensure that the loss would not become greater and the casualties would be minimized.
Accordingly, Devin Reiser's crime was completely determined.
"Someone found Devin Reiser's body outside the city gate, including some dead knights."
"Depending on the situation, perhaps these knights found the fleeing Devin Reiser, but he still had the strength to resist."
"He hurt a lot of people in the battle with the knights, and eventually died with the knights."
Liya waved the newspaper in her hand.
"Anyway, that's what it says."
Victor didn't have much in his heart. For him, it didn't matter whether Devin Reiser lived or died.
Anyway, he was already half dead.
He asked calmly:
"What about the punishment for the Reiser family?"
"There is one."
Liya reported everything to Victor in an orderly manner:
"While the Reiser family voluntarily assumed all the losses of the capital, His Majesty also imposed other punishments."
"Compensation for all the mages and knights who participated in this war."
"Of course, you are also a mage, so you also have a share of this compensation."
"But I don't think you need it, so I gave that share to Heni."
Liya said on her own initiative, and Victor was not surprised at all.
Liya is a normal woman, but doing business has made her learn to be cruel and indifferent.
No matter what identity she has behind the scenes, how cold-blooded and cruel she is.
Those are all disguises for her to make necessary sacrifices for her family.
In fact, she is very emotional.
That day after the battle, he left early and put the unconscious Heni at home.
He explained everything to Leiya, including Heni's experience.
Leah was very sad to hear this, and promised Victor that she would take good care of the poor child Heni.
At this time, Leah narrowed her eyes and said with a hint of meaning:
"Tsk tsk, but the Reiser family is really rich."
"How many people participated in the battle that day? There were thousands of mages in the academy alone."
"According to the compensation per head, it is simply a huge sum of money!"
Victor picked up the book again, as if he didn't want to waste any reading time.
He simply replied:
"Spend money to avoid disaster."
"You are right, then what should we use to avoid the disaster of our family?"Victor was silent for a while.
"Financial crisis?"
"Did you hear that, Vega? You will have no meat to eat in the future, and you can only eat grains."
The crow on the table raised his head and looked at Victor unkindly, venting his dissatisfaction.
"Just a joke, I just said it casually."
Seeing Victor's reaction, Leah was very satisfied.
Recently, she saw that Victor was a little too arrogant, and she had long wanted to put a damper on his spirit.
"The prop store has reopened. After the last war with the demons, its reputation has been established."
"Our inventory is looted by those mages every day."
"Some people even asked if they could sell more in a day."
Thinking of this, Leah couldn't help laughing.
The potion with almost zero cost can be sold for a thousand geos.
Fifty thousand geos are earned every day, and in a month, it is 1.5 million geos!
The most profitable half year for Kravenna was only about 5 million. The wizards are indeed rich.
"I actually wanted to thank that demon. Oh my god, I have to apologize for my idea."
Liya waved excitedly, her eyes emitting the light of "money".
Victor listened quietly without any response.
Liya didn't care about Victor's puppet-like attitude. She was used to it anyway, and continued:
"Also, don't forget, I also contributed a lot to this matter. It would be unreasonable if you don't give me a little reward."
Liya said happily.
Indeed, as Leah said, she played an indispensable role in convicting Devin Reiser.
The reporters who were waiting for the first-hand news around the academy were made by Leah.
She used the pressure of public opinion to force the Reiser family to plead guilty.
Even if the Reiser family got rid of Devin, the burden, in the face of strong public opinion, the royal family must impose some severe punishment on the Reiser family.
In short, everyone is happy.
Except the Reiser family.
Victor still didn't raise his head, nodded calmly, and then said:
"So, what do you want?"
"Fifty percent!"
Liya opened her palm, gestured the number five in front of him, and shook it.
"You must give me at least 50% of the monthly income of the prop store."
Victor: "........"
He closed the book with a headache and stared at Liya.
"Eighty percent."
Liya was stunned and asked in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"I can give you 80% of the profits."
"I need some money, otherwise, all the income from the prop shop will belong to you, after all, this is our family's business."
"......."
Liya was slightly stunned. She stood there, looking at the indifferent Victor, opened her mouth, and couldn't say anything.
"You...are you serious?"
Victor nodded.
He didn't lie. He did need some money to learn the subsequent fourth-level magic.
But there was no need to explain this to Liya.
Besides, he would give the position of the head of the Cravenna family to Liya in the future.
But what if he is short of money in the future?
Just ask Liya.
Anyway, it's all his family's money.
"Don't look at me with those eyes that have never seen the world. After all, you are the one who manages the territory of Cravenna."
Liya didn't hear the implication of Victor's words. She lowered her head slightly, and her expression became a little embarrassed.
"I wanted to ask before, but..."
"No, forget it."
Liya took a deep breath, as if she wanted to calm herself down.
Soon, she regained her previous arrogance and looked at Victor.
"You probably said it yourself, don't regret it."
"Here, this is for you."
Liya threw a purse from her arms, and Victor caught it.
He weighed it, and the bag was still slightly warm. There were Geo inside, colliding with each other, emitting the sound of money.
"What is this money?"
Victor was a little surprised, but heard Liya say casually.
"I don't know what Kefla did, she gave Gwen a big bag of money, saying that she would pass it on to you."
"With so much money, did you blackmail Kefla?"
Victor was a little speechless about Liya's thoughts, but he still took the money.
By the way, he said to Vega next to him:
"It's okay, you have the money for your meat."
Liya didn't get a decent answer from Victor, and muttered:
"If you hadn't said that you would give me 80% of the profits, I would have planned to hide all this money myself."
"But now I don't need thisSome small money."
After saying that, she twisted her elegant waist and walked out the door.
After leaving, she casually said:
"By the way, the poor little girl has not woken up, I am a little worried, if you have time, don't forget to go and see her."
With a bang, the door of the study was shut heavily.
Vega showed a human expression again, and it seemed a little angry.
"Victor, what do you mean? You have to deduct my food expenses when you have no money?"
"I thought you wouldn't care about these."
Victor took out the book again and continued to read it.
"I have been asking before, what do you want to do by reading these broken books over and over again? If you have any questions, can't you just ask me directly?"
Vega was a little confused.
It was like he was catching up with some progress, and he didn't want to relax for a moment.
"I am now a fourth-level mage. "
Victor just said such a meaningless sentence, which made Vega a little confused.
What's wrong with the fourth level? I can still answer your questions even if you go up a few more levels.
Vega naturally didn't know.
As a player, Victor can directly spend Geo to learn magic.
This led to the fact that although he became a fourth-level mage, he could not use any other fourth-level magic except the fourth-level magic that his subordinate Fire Origin had comprehended by himself.
And the price of fourth-level magic is very expensive, so...
[Read books for 100 hours and get the skill 'Heart of the Wise']
Accompanied by a voice in his mind, Victor closed the book and said lightly.
"Okay, no need to read it."
Vega: "? "
Victor looked at the extra passive line in his skill column.
[Heart of the Wise Lv1: Reduce the material and Geo consumption when learning skills by 50%]
Yes, Victor is brushing skills.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been reading boring books there all the time.
"Go see Heni."
Victor stood up, and the crow quickly flapped its wings and stood on his shoulder.
Victor said with regret:
"It's a strange physique to have knowledge but not be able to learn magic."
After the voice fell, Vega looked at Victor in surprise.
"To be honest, I thought you knew about this a long time ago."
Now it was Victor's turn to be surprised. He turned his head and looked at Vega, showing a rare puzzled expression.
Then Vega's voice was heard:
"Heni, she is a succubus."
"Ah?"
