Chapter 60
Victor and Aurelian looked at Erica at the same time.
The atmosphere gradually became silent.
Erica was a little shy when being stared at by two people at the same time, but her eyes were still firm.
Victor was silent for a while and said:
"Erica, you are my student."
"That's not what I meant!"
Erica said anxiously.
"I will learn the easy-to-understand knowledge taught in the academy sooner or later."
This is not Erica's boasting. In the entire Royal Academy, even the students who are older than Erica, most of them are only first-level mages, and second-level mages are rare.
Erica has reached the second level in just one year since she entered the school.
The academy can no longer teach her anything, otherwise Erica would not have to ask Victor for extra lessons every night after class.
Her talent is obvious to all.
But no matter how high her talent is, after these life-and-death situations, she also understands a very important truth.
No matter how much simulation training, how much knowledge, and how much magic she controls.
Academic mages are destined to be inferior to those experienced mages.
Erica felt a little scared when she thought of the situation where she almost died several times in a row.
She was still too weak.
Victor stood up and looked down at her eyes.
As if frightened by Victor's indifferent temperament, Erica took a step back, but still met Victor's eyes without fear.
She wanted to become stronger!
But...
"I won't accept you as my apprentice."
Victor rejected Erica's request.
His quick decision made Erica stunned and felt a little cold in her heart.
Somehow, a sense of grievance surged into her heart.
But she didn't show it. Even though there were a few tears in the corners of her eyes, she was completely unwilling to admit defeat. She raised her head and looked at Victor stubbornly.
"Why."
Even if she was rejected, Erica wanted a reason.
At least, she had to understand her own shortcomings.
Victor said lightly.
"Always remember that you are the Duke's only heir..."
"Then I will go and convince him!"
Erica's tone was full of unquestionable confidence.
"I will definitely convince my father, I promise."
Victor narrowed his eyes and chuckled from his nose.
"Really?"
"Then, let's talk about the rest later."
A blazing fire suddenly ignited on his body, as if it had ignited half of the night sky.
He turned around and looked at the somewhat dazed Princess, and bowed slightly.
"I still have some things to do, so I'll leave early."
"Have fun, Princess."
As he spoke, his body gradually solidified and turned into a statue made of ashes.
The strong wind was like a sharp blade, peeling off his body piece by piece until it completely dissipated in the air and went away with the wind.
He just dissipated in the banquet hall with ashes.
Erica stood there in a daze.
Did Victor agree?
She didn't know, but at least she had a goal.
Convince her father!
But at this moment, the delicate voice of Her Royal Highness the Princess sounded:
"I know you, you are Erica, Erica du Croix."
Erica came back to her senses and looked at the princess, then she remembered that she had not greeted Her Royal Highness the Princess yet.
This was undoubtedly a bit offensive among the etiquette of the nobility.
She was about to bow when she saw the princess staring at her.
It seemed that she was not very friendly to her.
"People outside say that you are the youngest genius in the capital."
Indeed, there are not many people who can become a second-level mage at the age of seventeen.
Erica's genius is already rare.
"Your Highness, you..."
Erica was just about to say something flattering to deal with this princess whom she had rarely seen, but she heard her suddenly say:
"Do you want to steal my teacher?"
Erica was startled, but heard Aurelian say in a bad tone:
"I won't let you succeed, you can't steal him."
"Under his guidance, I will become a genius than you, and let others know who is his best student."
Aurelian said no more, she stood up and turned away.
Not even giving Erica a chance to speak.
Erica watched the other party gradually leave, but she couldn't say a word.
...
The air outside the palace suddenly burst into sparks.
Sizzle-sizzle-
Soon, the sparks turned into a whole flame.
Several flames burned out of thin air, entwined with each other, and gradually emerged the appearance of Victor.
Victor waved his hand, and the flames turned into a black windbreaker and draped over his body.
Vega stood on the pole, flapped his wings and flew to Victor's shoulder.
"You are so slow, did something interesting happen in the palace?"
"The emperor asked me to be the princess's teacher, and I agreed."
Vega showed a curious expression and raised his eyebrows.
"Became a relative?"
Victor ignored it, but the crow complained there;
"You will still have to rely on me when the time comes, I think your academy should also give me a title."
"Well... just call me the great-Professor Vega!"
The blue teleportation array lit up under Victor's feet, and one person and one crow disappeared under the night.
...
Near midnight, Leah took a carriage back to the house.
It was really hard to communicate with a group of nobles. It was nothing more than some polite words, trying to get close to the Cravener family.
Dealing with these has made her physically and mentally exhausted.
She had planned to drag her aching body to find Victor and go home together, but she found that Victor had already run away.
After returning home and changing her clothes, she ran to the martial arts arena again, and finally found Victor.
Victor was still practicing with a sword there, and his every move made Leah feel that he really had some feelings.
But when she thought of the fact that Victor ran home without waiting for her, Leah was a little angry, and couldn't help but sneer a few words:
"What? Is our master the mage going to change his job?"
Victor didn't respond to her, but saw Leah come back and put the silver sword into the scabbard.
But this time, he didn't hang the long sword back on the wall.
The long sword disappeared in his hand and was put into the player's unique backpack.
"Back? Then get ready to go."
Liya was slightly stunned. To be honest, she originally planned to leave in the afternoon and expected to arrive at the territory the next morning.
It's too late to take a carriage back to the Kravenna territory now.
But soon after Victor finished speaking, a blue magic circle lit up again under his feet.
This time it was much larger than before, and the patterns and runes on it were clearly visible.
The terrifying magic aura instantly burst out from under the ground, and the amazing fluorescent blue teleportation array rose from the ground and rushed straight into the sky.
The violent wind blew Victor's windbreaker wildly, and the black windbreaker kept swaying on her body. Leah's long hair was blown up by the wind.
Soon, the wind gradually stopped.
With the blue starlight gradually enveloping the two people's bodies, a blue teleportation array gradually formed above their heads.
Leah was stunned and asked Victor:
"What is this?"
Victor did not look at her, but explained lightly.
"I spent two hours here, and built a two-way teleportation array with 'Blaxton'."
Blaxton, it is a city under the leadership of Kravenna, and it is the second most prosperous city besides the capital.
Victor's hometown is there.
Leah was slightly stunned.
"So, you came back early just to do this?"
Victor didn't say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement.
Leah was a little silent.
When she thought about how she had blamed Victor for not waiting for her to come back, she felt a little guilty.
She tried to stand in the magic circle and felt the amazing magic power coming towards her.
Even though Leah was not a magician, she clearly realized how powerful Victor was with this terrifying magic power.
"The teleportation magic circle can last for a whole day."
"If everything goes well, we can still rely on this magic circle to come back tomorrow."
Leah nodded, and the next second, the two magic circles gradually merged together, and the two people and the magic circle disappeared with broken stars, turning into a blue light and flying into the distance.
Then a teleportation magic circle for returning was left at the original place, which gradually became dim and hidden.
......
In the dim room, a group of people wearing linen cloaks and hoods broke in.
These people all covered their body parts that might have features, revealing only their different pupils. There was nothing in the room, and it seemed that everything that could be taken away had been looted, leaving only four walls.
As if they had been prepared.
Leon entered the room and inspected everything. After hearing the report from his men, he nodded.
"What about the clues? Do you know where he went?"
"He may have left the city, but considering the time, he should not have run out of the territory."
Leon breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Fortunately, the lady was prepared."
She took out a bronze disc from her waist. There was noThere are directions carved on it.
A half pointer points in a direction.
The subordinates looked at the item in Lyon's hand and immediately knew what it was:
Rune Tracker.
Lyon began to tell the story lightly:
"Miss Liya has signed a magic treaty with every merchant who cooperates with the territory. As long as the other party is still within the territory, this thing can be used to track them."
Everyone suddenly realized, and almost all of their eyes that were exposed were full of admiration.
"It's worthy of Miss Liya!"
"Fortunately, Miss Liya has prepared!"
"I really envy Lady Lion. She must use this to monitor Miss Liya's location every day!"
The other people instantly looked at the last person who spoke.
Lyon waved his hand nonchalantly, and suddenly, a light spot lit up on the edge of the rune tracker.
The light spot looked a little special, and the people around him were a little strange, but Lyon put away the rune tracker after seeing it.
She coughed twice and gave orders to the others as if nothing had happened.
"You guys chase first, I have to go back first."
After saying that, she flipped down from the window, her movements were like a nimble cheetah in the night sky, and in a blink of an eye, she disappeared under the night sky.
...
The blue light gradually lit up, and Victor and Leah appeared in the backyard of the mansion in Kravenna at the same time.
The backyard was very spacious, and it was larger and more gorgeous than the other courtyard in the capital.
In the backyard at night, there were even some fireflies flying constantly, like a private starry sky above the lawn.
This is Victor's hometown.
Although he didn't have much impression of this place.
In his memory, he had only been here a few times when doing side investigation tasks.
Obviously, he was still in the capital in the last second, but he suddenly returned to the territory in the next second, which made Leah feel a little emotional.
"Magic is really convenient."
The magic circle gradually dissipated under the lawn and hid, and Victor's voice followed closely.
"Do you need my help?"
"Why, do you look down on me?"
Liya glanced at Victor and said nonchalantly.
"You have to use our master wizard to catch a corrupt thief. That's too much respect for him."
"Just sleep in your room and wait for me to come back. Oh, yes, do you remember where your room is?"
Victor nodded. Since Liya didn't need help, he believed that she could handle everything.
If it was really that Chul, with the energy that Liya could use, it would be enough to control the other party.
If he couldn't deal with it... Victor glanced at the glove on Liya's right hand.
The wizard's hand would tell Victor whether Liya encountered a danger that could not be solved.
Liya didn't say anything more and left in a hurry.
After she left, Victor still stood there without moving.
Vega stood on his shoulder, looking around curiously, and said:
"This is where you used to live. It's really big."
Victor didn't respond, which made Vega a little confused.
"What are you doing? Why are you standing still?"
"Don't talk. I'm wondering where my room is."
