When Levi heard the words "blessing of water", he realized:
"You're deliberately irritating me."
When he saw his daughter being held by Victor, he couldn't control his emotions.
The chantless water magic that was originally his trump card was directly exposed under his anger, allowing Victor to see it at a glance.
"The power of disaster has many manifestations, one of them."
Victor said. The scorching flames around him suddenly rose up and turned into a red seed waiting to bloom.
This flame magic doesn't even need to build a magic circle, it is released as Victor's thoughts move.
"It's faster than not having to draw a magic circle."
Gorgeous flames bloomed, forming a huge fiery flower that exploded violently.
A strong heat wave completely swept through the entire space, and the scene in front of Levi even slightly curved under the high temperature.
The blazing high temperature enveloped everything, accompanied by a dazzling light that reached the sky, almost breaking through the deep purple light.
Victor watched all this calmly, with his hands in his pockets. .
Soon, the fierce flames quickly dissipated.
It wasn't until the surroundings completely returned to calm that he continued:
"As expected, I still prefer using fire magic."
Levi exhaled and asked the leisurely man in front of him:
"Then, you need Erica...and why?"
"Why did you say?"
Victor replied indifferently.
Whenever the disaster resurrects, Erica's body will unconsciously gain the power of the disaster.
It was like, when disaster resurrected in nature, the force had to pass through her body and leave some traces in it.
These traces created Erica's special physique.
"This is something even you don't know about."
Victor said calmly.
Levi was silent.
He knew exactly what Victor was talking about.
When the Wood Calamity was resurrected, Erica's body was covered with flowers.
That was the natural energy shown in Erica when the Wood Calamity was resurrected.
But at that time, Levi really didn't know what was going on.
After all, resurrecting the disaster and then giving it a severe beating, who would have thought of this?
Not to mention the existence of disaster, is it really something that ordinary people can defeat?
Therefore, it is normal for Levi to know nothing about the strange phenomena in Erica.
It was not until later that Levi found out about this from a friend in the Mages Council.
The reason why Victor became a senator is because he single-handedly sealed a monster that appeared in the bottom layer of Endymion.
In terms of time, Victor just became a member of Parliament at that time.
Therefore, Levi knew that person could only be Victor.
He recalled the scene of the volcano erupting.
Then he understood what kind of existence Victor was fighting.
Disaster.
Thinking of this, Levi slowly said:
"So, you have been targeting Erica from the beginning."
"Right?"
Only then did Levi understand that Victor started from the very beginning, when he confessed to his daughter.
He was already laying out the entire chess game.
Victor was silent for a moment and responded:
"maybe."
Hearing Victor's words, Levi chuckled:
"He is indeed a genius of the Cravenna family."
"Sure enough, how can a genius fall so easily?"
He thought he had understood everything.
Victor has been hiding his clumsiness, allowing others to ignore his strength.
He is laying out everything carefully, and this chess game requires the most perfect chess piece.
That's Erica.
Victor hides himself, just waiting for Erica to appear.
Maybe, because of Erica's specialness, he can accomplish his purpose.
Levi felt a pang of regret.
Was it his fault that his daughter was exposed?
Not necessarily.
At this time, Victor's eyes became serious again and he looked at Levi:
"Now, let's get down to business, Duke."
The Duke looked at Victor and nodded:
"certainly."
"I've also wanted to talk to you for a long time."
——
Erica gave up her struggle in Victor's arms,
This was not because she didn't want to break free from Victor's arms, but because she couldn't move at all.
Behind her is her stern father, and she doesn't want him to see her in such embarrassment.
However, after giving up her struggle, she couldn't help but secretly raised her head and glanced at Victor.
Professor... so handsome.
Looking at Victor so close, Erica felt that he seemed even more handsome.
Erica couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, maybe it was admiration, or maybe it was gratitude.
Thinking of the professor who saved him twice at the hands of Wind Calamity and Fire Calamity.
Victor's cold and handsome figure was in her mind, lingering in her mind.
After a moment of silence, Levi's calm voice suddenly sounded:
"Erica."
Erica suddenly woke up from her fantasy when she heard her father calling her name.
She quickly twisted her body and broke away from Victor's arms, and this time, she succeeded.
Erica pushed Victor's arms away and turned to look at him.
Then he bowed to him with some apology, and then hurriedly returned to Levi.
Levi stretched out a hand to protect Erica behind him, then raised his head and looked at Victor:
"Next time, I don't want such a ridiculous thing to happen again."
"Let's go, Erica."
Erica lowered her head, followed behind Levi, and left slowly.
When passing by Victor, she seemed to think of the scene where Victor hugged her just now, and she couldn't help but blush.
He didn't even dare to look up at him.
Under the gaze of everyone, Levi took Erica and left here.
The eyes of those people fell on Victor again.
At some point, Victor had already put his hands into his pockets, not caring about the stares around him.
As if they completely understood what was happening, everyone quickly lowered their heads and went about their own business.
The professors and lecturers continued to grade the students, and the parents quickly looked at the performance of their children through the star bubbles in the sky.
The reporters carrying the magic stone were busy grabbing the magic stone, trying to delete the scene they had just accidentally recorded.
At this moment, the crow's hoarse voice sounded in Victor's ears;
"How's it going? He did it?"
Victor remained expressionless and responded calmly:
"We talked about some interesting things."
Vega chuckled after listening to Victor's words.
"So, that Levi, um...what does he want to do?"
Victor did not answer immediately.
He raised his head and looked at the chaotic nebula in the sky, just like the thoughts in Victor's heart.
"At least, I admire his deep affection."
…
Levi took Erica out of the academy.
The two of them stepped onto the carriage in silence, one behind the other.
Sitting in the carriage, Erica was a little scared.
She was afraid that she would make her father angry.
After all, things are completely different today than they were in the past.
Father seems to dislike Victor very much.
Last time on her birthday, Victor confessed his love to her.
To be honest, Erica didn't feel anything.
Over the years, she has long been used to being confessed.
But her father was furious.
Therefore, Erica was very afraid that her father would be angry again because of this incident.
But the anger Erica expected did not appear.
After Levi got into the carriage, he showed no emotion.
Instead, he reached out and pulled all the curtains on the surrounding carriages to block the bright light outside.
Then, he solemnly said to Erica:
"Erica, if I asked you to leave this country, but I asked you to choose someone to protect you all the time, who would you choose?"
"No need to worry about me, just tell me your truest thoughts."
Erica's face turned slightly red.
"I……"
For a moment, she thought of Victor's tall and reliable figure.
He is strong and taciturn, with a cold and proud look in his eyes.
All of this made Erica feel extremely safe.
She didn't understand why her father asked her this question.
But her consciousness was still awake. She raised her head and looked at Levi:
"I choose myself."
Levi was slightly startled, and before he could ask, he heard Erica continue.
"Father, if you can no longer protect me."
"Who else can I count on?"
Levi looked at Erica, and even his breathing stopped for a moment.
As if he was relieved, he sat back in his seat, covered his forehead, and laughed a few times.
see it……
This is our child.
She has grown up.
Levi took a deep breath, crossed his hands on his legs, and leaned forward slightly.
"Son, I understand that at that moment, you must have considered the candidate."
"But you finally chose this answer."
Levi's eyes softened a bit and he looked at Erica:
"Only you are my only treasure."
Then, he sat up straight and said solemnly to Erica:
"Dad won't stop you anymore, you can pursue whatever you want."
"Including Victor."
Um? ? ?
Erica was stunned when she heard Levi's words. She quickly closed her eyes and panicked:
"Father, father, father, father! What are you talking about!!!!"
Levi looked at the panicked Erica and said calmly:
"In the evening, I will invite Victor to our house as a guest."
"When the time comes, you will understand."
As he finished speaking, Levi thought of the agreement between Victor and him.
He had already lost hope and didn't even want to fantasize about it anymore.
But now, the opportunity has never been so strong before him.
Levi opened his palms, and a ball of blue magic gradually gathered in his palms, forming a suspended transparent water ball, absorbing water vapor from all directions.
He lowered his head, looking at the crystal magic rolling in his hand, slightly lost in thought.
'I'll bring you back. '
'must. '
