The sky turned white, and the sun rose as usual.
Liya yawned and returned home. The family knight at the door opened the door for Liya.
She was a little sleepy from 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 Liya feel confused.
what's the situation?
Victor left her behind and went back first?
After closing the door with doubts, Liya suddenly thought of a possibility.
…
Hurrying to the martial arts arena, Liya just watched Victor swinging his sword in one movement.
"..."
I remember that some time ago, he still liked to read books.
"When did you start practicing swordsmanship? Who did you practice with?"
Liya glanced at Victor suspiciously, and then added in disbelief.
"It can't be Gwen, right?"
Victor didn't even look at her or even respond. He put the sword away and hung it back on the wall.
Vega also took advantage of this moment to fly to stand on his shoulder.
Liya thought it was acquiescence and was a little confused.
When did the relationship between these two get so good that they started practicing swordplay together?
And isn’t Victor a mage? Does he really plan to change jobs?
"how's it going?"
Victor's voice sounded, and Liya realized what was going on. She spread her hands and shook her head helplessly.
"Oh, he did it all."
How should I put it, a little boring.
Perhaps the shadow that Victor brought to him was too serious, and several methods prepared by Liya had not yet been used.
Qiul just glanced at the bottle of red potion used for recovery and said everything he needed to say.
"To put it bluntly, the kingdom is still afraid."
Riya began to recount Chuul's confession.
In fact, the kingdom had already begun to pay attention to Victor.
When Victor became a third-level mage at the age of twenty, the kingdom was considering whether to secretly deal with such an existence that might become a future threat.
However, Victor is a very strange person. He is so strange that he never communicates with any nobles. He always goes his own way and looks down on every noble equally.
This resulted in a very poor reputation for him, to the point where he was disliked by everyone.
Therefore, the kingdom believed that Victor was not a threat and might be able to recruit him if necessary.
In the first half of this year, the kingdom found an opportunity. Pachuur secretly infiltrated into the Clevenas family as a grain merchant.
Looking for an opportunity, it would be best to have a direct breakdown between Victor and the empire's top officials.
"The result is that you fell ill for no apparent reason and went to express your love for the Duke's daughter at a dinner party."
Speaking of this, Liya glanced at Victor with disdain and sneered.
"I don't even know I have a fiancée."
Victor was silent in response. He knew that if he replied, Liya would block him with more words.
Soon, Liya continued.
It was just this time that the kingdom saw an opportunity.
They set out to use this incident to create animosity between the Duke and Victor, so that the Cravenna family would be forced to separate from the Empire.
Unfortunately, the kingdom did not expect that the Duke was a daughter slave.
Since returning to the volcano, Erica's admiration for Victor has grown to the extreme.
Even if the Duke was intentional, he couldn't afford to be at odds with Victor because of this daughter.
Then, while the kingdom was still looking for opportunities, it planned to contact Victor.
The devil is coming.
Victor showed the powerful strength of the fourth level and beat the devil violently.
This matter was known to the royal family, and Victor was won over by the royal family.
The youngest fourth-level mage finally became the enemy of the kingdom.
"The kingdom didn't expect that you had been hiding your clumsiness for the past nine years and suddenly became a fourth-level mage, which caused the kingdom's decision-making to fall into error."
Leah shook her head and sighed.
She also didn't expect Victor's clumsiness.
"The radicals in the kingdom believe that your existence has posed a threat. You are too young. If you are not eliminated quickly, I am afraid that you will become the ultimate threat to the empire's destruction of the kingdom in the future."
"So they provided Chul with the Forbidden Demon Stone and left a loophole in our territory's finances. What they want is to attract you and me there and forcibly erase it."
"Even if the mission fails, Chul can commit suicide by taking poison, and the kingdom can easily escape."
At this point, Liya sneered.
Who would have thought that Victor would have that magical little medicine bottle?
Taking poison? Even taking poison can save your life!
"I guess Chu'er felt stable at that time, but who 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 have trained their bodies and used magic items at the same time would not choose to engage in close combat with warriors.
But Victor, a traditional mage, not only dared to do this, he actually won!
It's really, really dreamy.
Victor did not respond because he could see that Liya still had some things to say.
After she finished laughing, she raised her charming eyes and looked at Victor.
"Actually, Qiul's ability to sneak into the territory has something to do with you."
Victor frowned, a little confused.
Something to do with him?
"Do you remember the grain merchant from before? His name was Parson."
Liya raised her head and looked at Victor's expression, which was as indifferent as she expected.
It's like I have no impression at all.
"I just know how my mage master could remember such a little person."
Liya clicked her tongue twice and spread her hands.
"Parson has a wife and they live in Lombardo, but Parson is away from home for nearly half the year."
Lombardo is a village under the leadership of Cravenna.
"I don't know when our master mage suddenly wanted to inspect the territory on a whim."
"It turned out to be offended by Parson's wife."
"Just because you were accidentally hit by the other party when you were getting off the carriage."
Liya's voice was a little indifferent.
The later stories are more natural.
Parson's wife apologized in panic, but Victor didn't buy it.
With an understatement, he sent this pregnant woman to mine.
Naturally, a pregnant woman cannot bear such high-intensity labor.
“At work, women have miscarriages and are dying.”
"Although she was later found and rescued, the disease was left behind and she will never be able to have children again."
Liya told about the past, and Victor listened quietly.
Although that is what Victor once did.
The grain merchant returned home and saw that his beautiful wife no longer had a smile on her face.
So, he quit the job that could support him for almost his whole life, and with hatred, he came into contact with the soldiers of the kingdom, namely Qiul.
"Parson used the connections he had built in the territory to create a false identity for Chul and introduced Chul here."
There is no need to recount what happened after that.
After hearing the whole story, Victor remained silent.
To sum up, all this was Victor's own fault.
Strictly speaking, the former Victor was a truly disgusting being.
He ignored the lives of every commoner and every noble. Similarly, he only had himself in his heart.
No one can get into his heart, and he despises everyone equally.
Except for him, everyone is just a speck of dust and ants in the world.
Among the nobility, his reputation was extremely bad.
Even if someone else becomes a third-level mage, they will be jealous, but they will also receive heartfelt blessings from their friends.
There is only Victor, and you expect a noble to say hello to Victor?
It would be nice not to get spit on.
Even among players, Victor's reputation is nothing but good looks and strength.
So he had no friends, and even his only relative eventually turned against him.
In the future, Victor once had such a plot, which was recorded and passed down among players.
A down-and-out nobleman wanders the streets with no one to help him.
Victor saw him and told him, if you exchange your most precious items with me, I will help you restore everything you once owned.
The nobleman listened to Victor's words and gave his most precious family heirloom to Victor.
As a result, Victor accepted the family heirloom, but told him.
"You violated the deal with me. The most precious item is never something outside your body."
He moved the wife and children of the other party into the mansion, forced the family members of the down-and-out nobles to work in the territory, and told them that their families had sold them, left the empire, and went to other countries to live a prosperous and wealthy family. Ong life.
This poor noble was eventually exiled by Victor, and players have never seen him again since then.
To this day, he still remembers Victor's famous saying.
"Why isn't your most precious possession your family?"
Many players want to dig out the deeper meaning of Victor's words. However, Dog Planning has never written about the past of these in-game NPCs.
But Victor's ugly behavior is enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
Liya was still talking there.
"There's something I didn't tell you before. Our prop shop was smashed on the day it opened."
"And, it occurred to me, just a few days before that period, you gave me this."
Liya raised her hand, and the crystal gems on her fingerless gloves looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Victor listened quietly to Liya's continued story:
"I was quite curious before. After all, the only one who had enemies with you during that time was the Duke."
"But I sent people to arrest those who smashed the store, and after questioning them, I found that this 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 using magic.
But when she went to catch Qiul today, Qiul used the Forbidden Demon Stone on her.
He even thought he was a second-level mage.
From the very beginning when the caravan was attacked, the people of the Kingdom used Parson to keep an eye on Victor.
Everything is connected.
She naturally knew that her brother had a bad reputation, but she didn't expect that even people from the kingdom were eyeing him.
His talent made the kingdom next door feel in danger.
At this time, I heard Victor suddenly say.
"Go and give some consolation money to that grain merchant's wife."
Liya was stunned and raised her head to look at Victor, not quite understanding what Victor meant.
Solatium has two meanings, one is disability comfort, and the other is...
"Then, find the grain merchant and bury him."
Victor's expression did not change, he just spoke calmly.
But the indifferent tone was full of complete cruelty.
Liya paused for a moment. At this moment, she seemed to feel that the annoying Victor was back.
But he didn't kill them all, which made Liya slightly understand that he was still the same Victor.
This Victor she didn't dislike.
Still, she asked.
"Why do you do this? You deserve it."
Victor squinted his eyes, as if the sun that had just risen was dazzling him.
But his emotionless voice still sounded.
"When he is ready to kill you, this person can only receive the death penalty."
Liya was startled and took two steps back slightly.
She lowered her head, not wanting Victor to see her current expression.
The voice was as normal as ever.
"Do you think I don't hold grudges?"
"Don't worry, I've sent someone to do it a long time ago."
Victor nodded. He didn't notice Liya's current appearance, but he still said indifferently.
"So, do you want to go back?"
"...You can go back by yourself first. I have some things to deal with, and I also have to find a new grain merchant. Alas, a lot of things are weighing on me."
"I will return to the capital in a few days. Remember to ask the servants to clean my room every day."
Victor nodded and said "Thank you for your hard work", and the teleportation formation hidden under his feet rose instantly.
Swept by the air current, his body turned into a blue light and disappeared.
When the last drop of blue light dissipated, Liya still stood there blankly, her head lowered, as if she was trying to control something.
Victor was gone, and no one could see the emotion on her face anymore.
She finally no longer had to endure it, as if she had opened up her emotional outlet.
A tear streaked across Liya's face, across the dry air, and fell to the ground, splashing dust.
After the silence, only a voice like talking to himself sounded:
"Leah."
"You're so useless."
