"Why?"
Gwen was a little confused.
Victor came with the Knights, but now he actually proposed to separate and act alone.
She didn't quite understand, if Victor didn't need the protection of the Knights, then why he would act with the Knights.
Or?
What was his purpose in coming to Mount Vesuvius?
"I want to go to the crater first."
Victor said so.
Under Gwen's righteous heart, all lies will be uncovered.
But he didn't lie, which meant that Victor really planned to go to the crater.
Gwen remembered the reason why Victor accompanied him in the first place.
"Could it be that the monster you mentioned is on the crater?"
"Um……"
Victor was silent for a moment. At this time, he thought of the figure of the monstrous monster.
So, he answered.
"So be it."
...What is calculation?
But the other party didn't lie yet. Gwen was a little curious, but she was not someone who liked to pry into other people's privacy.
After all, this is an extinct volcano, and Victor also said that he is very familiar with the terrain of Mount Vesuvius.
There should be no problem.
Gwen nodded and agreed to his request to leave the team.
"I will take the initiative to find you after I finish my work."
As soon as Victor finished speaking, a blue magic circle with twinkling stars appeared under his feet.
Blue light flashed and his figure disappeared without a trace.
A large living person disappeared directly in front of him, leaving Gwen in a daze.
A knight watched the entire exchange between the two and saw Gwen who was still in a daze. He couldn't help but walked over and asked Gwen.
"Knight Commander? Did you two... have a conflict last night?"
Gwen turned her head and opened her mouth.
"No, it's not what you think..."
Before she could finish speaking, the knight continued:
"Hate, it's normal for couples to have conflicts. I often quarrel with my wife, but our son is eight years old."
"A quarrel at the head of the bed and a quarrel at the end of the bed, how can there be an overnight feud between husband and wife?"
The more Gwen listened to him, the redder her face turned.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go quickly!"
She cursed at the knight and left in a hurry.
"Huh? Knight Commander Gwen! I didn't say anything wrong... Alas, girls nowadays are just hypocritical. This is what I said."
Gwen couldn't quite hear what the knight said later.
Her face was slightly red, like a little girl who had been told something on her mind.
But in fact, she knows better than anyone else.
There is no relationship between her and Victor.
Just like she would never fall in love with Victor, there was no way Victor would fall in love with her.
Gwen climbed onto the white horse and thought gloomily in her heart.
If nothing else happens, she may end up marrying Victor.
After all, the marriage contract between the two families had been set long ago.
Gwen is the second daughter of the family. She can only obey the family's decisions and cannot change them.
Gwen didn't want to get married, not to mention that Victor made her feel terrible in the past.
'How could I possibly marry such a bastard? '
With this thought flashing through her mind, she suddenly recalled what happened last night.
He is like an elegant nobleman, and he behaves like a gentleman.
I don't even know when he even gave up the only bed to himself.
When she woke up, she found Victor sitting quietly in a chair reading the obscure magic book all night long.
She felt guilty, but Victor told her in turn that mages had their own means of rest, and they just needed to be quiet around them.
Is he...a bastard?
Gwen couldn't help but think.
Determined to become a knight of absolute justice, Gwen never really hated anyone.
Even if this person is Victor.
'I should have been quite quiet last night...'
Getting rid of those unnecessary thoughts in her mind, she raised the silver sword in her hand and swung it forward.
"Set off!"
…
A blue light rain fell out of thin air, forming a teleportation circle in mid-air, revealing Victor's figure.
He opened his eyes, and the surrounding scenery had changed significantly.
The surrounding area was so desolate that there was almost nothing, only a few scattered charred stones standing on the hillside.
His current location is halfway up the volcano, much ahead of the Knights.
Here is the maximum range that teleportation magic can be used.
It is not realistic to teleport to the top of the mountain in one breath.
Seeing no one around, Vega on his shoulder spoke to him in a loud voice:
"Why did you choose to separate from them?"
"The Knights' route should be the same as yours. If you go with them, you will get here sooner or later."
Victor pressed its head and explained:
"Their company is not required."
"There are some things that I want to investigate myself. There is no need to let others know."
Vega was very surprised. Looking at Victor, he seemed to have planned it for a long time.
Reminiscent of his interest when he heard about Mount Vesuvius, it was hard for Vega not to suspect that the other party knew something.
A man and a bird are walking on Mount Vesuvius, which once erupted.
However, after that time, Mount Vesuvius lost the power to erupt and became an extinct volcano.
The residents at the foot of the mountain established towns here, and they have a history of hundreds of years.
After hundreds of years of wind and sun, the ground here has long formed a lime-gray coke, full of cracks and weathered volcanic rocks.
What plants would you like to see here? That's a little difficult.
However, after hundreds of years, no one was worried that the volcano would erupt again.
The volcano was about a few hundred meters high, and he quickly reached the top of the mountain.
The further he walked toward the top of the mountain, the more clearly Victor could feel the extremely rich flame element.
Not only him, Vega also feels the same.
It turned its head and glanced at Victor subtly.
"Interesting, I really want to open your head and see how you came up with the idea of coming here."
"You actually found a 'disaster'."
Victor's expression was very calm, and Vega understood that he had known there was something here for a long time.
Disaster.
To be precise, this is the specific name of the Crucible Monster recorded in history.
There are six kinds of disasters in the world, corresponding to six magic elements.
Wind, wood, fire, earth, water, thunder.
And what is currently sealed by Mount Vesuvius is the Calamity of Fire, Gullerton.
Its body is as huge as reaching the sky, and the fire of the furnace pours over its body, like a demon in fire.
The reason why they can be called disasters is because once they appear, they will cause natural disasters and chaos in a land, and they are so powerful that they are frightening.
Their existence has only disadvantages and no advantages for any living thing.
This is 'disaster', as the name suggests.
"I'm curious. It's sleeping well here. Why did you come to see it?"
Vega looked at Gullerton under the crater and asked Victor.
"Collect some interest in advance."
Victor stood on the crater, looking down at the inside.
It is so deep that one even wonders if there is anything inside.
The hot air shot out from the mountain pass, and the astonishing heat hit your face.
His eyes suddenly became very determined.
The cold wind and hot air mixed together to blow his windbreaker. At this moment, standing at the highest point of the volcano, it was difficult for him to hear Vega's voice next to him clearly.
"Hey, what are you doing standing here? Do you want to jump from this place?"
Victor didn't respond, and Vega was silent for a while.
"You don't know how to really jump, right?"
The questions it asked one word at a time did not have the slightest effect.
Because Victor has already said to it:
"Hold on tight!"
After that, he jumped towards the volcano a hundred meters deep.
"You should ask for my opinion!!!!"
The surrounding scenery of roasted red rocks continued to fall, and Vega held Victor's clothes firmly in its beak.
At this time, it even forgot that it was still a bird with wings.
The picture in front of me kept turbulent, and finally...
After a flash of white light, the two figures disappeared into the air.
...
"After being a god for so long, this is the first time I've ever felt so crazy."
When Vega opened his eyes, he seemed to be in another space.
It was pitch black all around, and the only thing visible to the naked eye was the floor.
"So dark, Victor? Victor?"
Victor was right behind it, and when he saw the crow waking up, he picked it up and put it on his shoulder.
Vega just wanted Victor to light a fire to illuminate the surroundings, but before he could say anything, a huge snore sounded in the darkness in front of him.
It will deafen the crow's ears.
"Damn, who is snoring? Uh..."
Vega stopped talking.
It saw the source of that snoring sound, or rather...
At this moment, it was right in front of Weijia, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.
How to describe it appropriately?
Like a giant pillar rising into the sky.
It was as tall as a mountain, shocking and frightening.
The Calamity of Fire, Gullerton, appeared in front of them.
A line of cold sweat broke out on the top of Vega's head, and the hair on his head looked a lot brighter.
"Boy, do you want to challenge it?"
"Stop joking! I'm just an ordinary bird now and I can't help you with anything!"
Victor didn't look at it, he picked up a flame with his fingertips and lit up the front.
It also illuminates the true appearance of this giant beast.
"Don't say that."
"You are my biggest help in defeating this."
The next second, Feng Xi's snoring stopped.
The huge red eyes opened like amazing light bulbs.
"Ooohhohohoho!!!"
It looked down at the two ants, and roared loudly throughout Mount Vesuvius.
