Chapter 65
The sky was pale and the sun rose as usual.
Leah yawned and returned home. The family knight at the door opened the door for Leah.
She was a little sleepy after dealing with things all night, but she couldn't sleep yet.
Tired, she walked to Victor's room and pushed the door open without hesitation.
"Victor, I have something to tell you..."
However, there was no one in the room.
She didn't even see Victor's shadow.
This made Leah confused.
What's going on?
Did Victor leave her behind and go back first?
Leah closed the door with doubts, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
...
Rushing to the martial arts field, Leah just watched Victor swinging his sword with one movement.
"..."
I remember that he liked reading books some time ago.
"When did you start practicing swordsmanship? Who did you practice with?"
Leah looked at Victor suspiciously, and added with some disbelief.
"It can't be Gwen?"
Victor didn't even look at her, or even respond, and put the sword back on the wall.
Vega also took advantage of this moment to fly to his shoulder and stand.
Leah thought it was a tacit agreement, and was a little confused.
When did these two get so close that they practiced swords together?
And isn't Victor a mage? Is he really planning to change his job?
"What happened?"
When Victor's voice sounded, Leah finally realized the serious matter, spread her hands and shook her head helplessly.
"Alas, he confessed everything."
How to say it, it's a little boring.
Perhaps the shadow brought to him by Victor was too serious, and Leah hadn't used several methods prepared.
Chul just glanced at the bottle of red potion for recovery, and said everything he should say.
"To put it bluntly, the kingdom is still afraid."
Leah began to repeat Chul's confession.
In fact, the kingdom had already started to pay attention to Victor.
When Victor became a third-level mage at the age of 20, the kingdom was considering whether to secretly deal with such a person who might become a threat in the future.
However, Victor was a strange person. He never communicated with any nobles, always did his own thing, and looked down on every noble equally.
This led to his extremely bad reputation, to the point where everyone hated him.
So the kingdom believed that Victor was not a threat, and if necessary, it might be possible to recruit him.
In the first half of this year, the kingdom found an opportunity and sent Chul to secretly infiltrate the Cravenna family as a grain merchant.
In this way, it would be best to find an opportunity to make Victor and the high-level officials of the empire break up directly.
"The result is that you got sick for no reason and confessed to the Duke's daughter at the dinner party."
At this point, Leah glanced at Victor with disdain and mocked him.
"You don't even know that you have a fiancée."
Victor remained silent. He knew that if he replied, Leah would use more words to block him.
Soon, Leah continued.
Only this time, the kingdom saw an opportunity.
They took advantage of this incident to try to create hostility between the Duke and Victor, forcing the Clevenna family to separate from the empire.
Unfortunately, the kingdom did not expect that the Duke was a daughter slave.
Since the time when Volcano returned, Erica's admiration for Victor has grown to the extreme.
The Duke was willing, but because of this daughter, he was powerless to make enemies with Victor.
Then, when the kingdom was still looking for an opportunity to contact Victor.
The devil came.
Victor showed the powerful strength of the fourth level and beat the devil.
The royal family knew about this, and Victor was won over by the royal family.
The youngest fourth-level mage eventually became the enemy of the kingdom.
"The kingdom did not expect that you have been hiding your incompetence for the past nine years, and suddenly became a fourth-level mage, which made the kingdom's decision go wrong."
Leah shook her head and sighed.
She also did not expect Victor to hide his incompetence.
"The radicals in the kingdom think that your existence has become a threat. You are too young. If you are not eliminated quickly, you may become the ultimate threat to the empire's destruction of the kingdom in the future."
"So they provided Qiu Er with the forbidden magic stone and left a loophole in our territory's finances. What they wanted was to attract you and me and forcibly eliminate us."
"Even if the mission fails, Qiu Er can commit suicide by taking poison, and the kingdom can easily get out of it."
At this point, Liya sneered.
Who would have thought that Victor would have that kind of magical little medicine bottle?
Take poison? Taking poison can save your life!
"I guess Qiu Er felt safe at the time, butWho would have thought? "
Liya looked at Victor, covered her mouth and laughed.
"You are actually a mage who can fight in close combat."
Even magicians who exercise their bodies and use magic items at the same time will not choose to fight in close combat with warriors.
Victor, a traditional mage, not only dared to do this, but he actually won!
It was really too dreamy.
Victor did not respond, because he could see that Liya had something to say.
After she finished laughing, she raised her charming eyes and looked at Victor.
"In fact, Chul's ability to sneak into the territory is also related to you."
Victor frowned, a little confused.
Related to him?
"Do you still remember the grain merchant before? His name is Parson."
Liya looked up at Victor's expression, and it was exactly as she expected, indifferent.
It was as if he had no impression at all.
"I knew that my master mage would remember such a small person. "
Liya tutted twice and spread her hands.
"Parson has a wife, and they live in Lanbado, but Parson is not at home for nearly half a year a year."
Lanbado is a village under the jurisdiction of Kravenna.
"I don't know when our master wizard wanted to inspect the territory on a whim."
"As a result, he was offended by Parson's wife."
"Just because you were accidentally hit by the other party when you got off the carriage."
Liya's voice was a little indifferent.
The story that followed was more interesting.
Parson's wife apologized in panic, but Victor didn't buy it.
With a casual remark, he sent the pregnant woman to mine.
Such high-intensity labor is naturally unbearable for a pregnant woman.
"During work, the woman miscarried and was dying."
"Although she was later found and rescued, she was left with a root of disease and could no longer give birth. "
Liya was telling the past, and Victor was listening quietly.
Although that was what Victor had done before.
The grain merchant returned home and saw that his beautiful wife no longer had a smile on her face.
So, he quit this job that could almost support him for a lifetime, and with hatred, he came into contact with the soldiers of the kingdom, that is, Chul.
"Parson used the relationship he had built in the territory to forge an identity for Chul and introduced Chul. "
There is no need to recount what happened after that.
After hearing the whole story, Victor remained silent.
To sum up, all of this was Victor's own fault.
Strictly speaking, Victor in the past was a truly disgusting existence.
He ignored the lives of every civilian and every noble, and likewise, he only had himself in his heart.
No one could get into his heart, and he despised everyone equally.
Except for him, everyone was just a speck of dust and an ant in the world.
Among the nobles, he had a very bad reputation.
Others who became third-level mages would be envied, but they would also receive sincere blessings from their friends.
Only Victor, expecting nobles to greet Victor?
Not being spit on Saliva is good enough.
Even among the players, Victor's reputation is that he has nothing but good looks and strength.
So he has no friends, and even his only relative eventually turns against him.
In the future, Victor had such a plot, which was recorded and passed down among the players.
A down-and-out nobleman, no one to help him, wandered on the street.
Victor saw him and told him, if you use your most precious item to exchange with me, I will help you restore everything you once had.
The noble listened to Victor and gave Victor his most precious heirloom.
As a result, Victor accepted the heirloom, but told him.
"You violated the deal between you and me. The most precious item is never your possessions. "
He stuffed the other party's wife and children into the mansion, forced the family members of the impoverished nobles to work in the territory, and told them that it was their families who sold them, left the empire, and went to other countries to live a prosperous and wealthy life.
This poor noble was eventually exiled by Victor, and since then, the players have never seen him again.
To this day, he still remembers Victor's famous saying.
"Why is your most precious thing not your family?"
Many players want to dig out the deep meaning of Victor's words, however, the dog planner has never written about the past of these in-game NPCs.
But Victor's ugly behavior is enough to make people remember it for a lifetime.
Liya is still talking there.
"There is something I didn't tell you before, our prop store was smashed on the opening day."
"And, I suddenly remembered that you gave me this a few days before that time."
Liya raised her hand, and the crystal gems on the fingerless gloves were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Victor listened quietly to Leah's continued story:
"I was quite curious before, after all, the only one who had an enemy with you during that time was the Duke."
"But I sent people to catch those who smashed the store and asked them carefully, and found that it was not the case."
"Now it seems that the grain merchant has been prepared for a long time. "
Liya's voice was a little cold.
After Victor gave her the Mage's Hand, she only used it when the caravan was attacked.
Only the people in the caravan saw her use magic at that time.
And when they went to catch Chul today, Chul used the Forbidden Magic Stone on her.
He even thought he was a second-level mage.
From the beginning when the caravan was attacked, the people of the kingdom used Parsons to target Victor.
Everything was connected.
She naturally knew that her brother had a bad reputation, but she didn't expect that even the people in the kingdom were targeting him.
His talent made the neighboring kingdom feel a crisis.
At this time, Victor suddenly said.
"Go and give some consolation money to the wife of the grain merchant."
Liya was stunned, raised her head and looked at Victor, not quite understanding what Victor meant.
Consolation money has two meanings, one is disability consolation, and the other is...
"Then, find the grain merchant and bury him. "
Victor's expression did not change, he just spoke calmly.
But his indifferent tone was full of cruelty.
Liya paused slightly, at this moment, she seemed to feel that the once annoying Victor had returned.
But he did not kill him, which made Liya understand that he was still the same Victor as before.
This Victor she did not hate.
However, she still asked.
"Why do you do this? You deserve it."
Victor squinted his eyes, as if the sun that had just risen was a little dazzling.
But his emotionless voice sounded as usual.
"When he was about to kill you, this person could only be sentenced to death."
Liya was startled and took two steps back.
She lowered her head, not wanting Victor to see her current expression.
The voice was still as normal as always.
"Do you think I don't bear grudges?"
"Don't worry, I sent someone to do it a long time ago. "
Victor nodded. He didn't notice Leah's current appearance, but just said indifferently.
"So, do you want to go back?"
"...You go back first. I have some things to deal with, and I have to find a new grain merchant. Alas, so many things are on me."
"I will go back to the capital in a few days. Remember to ask the servants to clean my room every day. "
Victor nodded, saying 'thank you for your hard work', and the hidden teleportation array under his feet rose instantly.
Under the sweep of the airflow, his body turned into a blue light and disappeared.
When the last drop of blue light dissipated, Leah was still standing there blankly, with her head down, as if she was trying her best to control something.
Victor left, and no one could see the emotions on her face anymore.
She finally didn't have to endure it anymore, as if she had opened the dam of her emotions.
A teardrop crossed Leah's face, crossed the dry air, fell to the ground, and splashed dust.
After the silence, only a voice like talking to himself sounded:
"Liya."
"You are really useless."
