The two walked through the cobblestone path and went deep into the interior of the manor.
Surrounded by lush pine trees, swaying in the breeze.
The rustling sound echoed in the air like a poet's whispered poem, gently brushing against their ears.
Liya followed Victor, swiping her hands across the lush green vegetation on both sides of the road, and reporting to Victor:
"The batch of weapons that we mass-produced at Brighton Arsenal are ready for use after Congressman Ryan Kent helped us debug them."
Following her words, the servants on both sides saw Victor and their eyes widened slightly in surprise.
They hurriedly bowed respectfully to the head of the family who had not returned for a long time.
"The head of the family."
Victor walked past them calmly without any reaction.
Liya waved her hands to them casually.
Then, she continued to Victor:
"The training of the elves has also passed the initial stage, and we are letting them do internships in our shops and engineering in Bryston."
Elves are different from demi-humans. Although most humans look down on demi-humans, their attitudes towards elves are completely opposite.
After all, this mysterious race basically only exists in legends, and is extremely magical to ordinary people.
If you are lucky enough to get to know an elf, you can brag about it for the rest of your life.
It is Liya's strategy to let these elves who come to human society from the Elf Forest participate in the service industry.
This allows them to understand human society as quickly as possible in a short period of time and quickly adapt to the pace of life in the empire.
The elves learn how humans serve, and after becoming qualified employees, they can officially work in Bryston's store.
As ordinary customers, most people will feel extremely magical when receiving services from elves.
Not only will the service experience that customers receive become better, but the number of troubles in the store will also be reduced.
After all, many people have heard from storybooks since childhood that elves should not be annoyed.
Otherwise, natural disasters will occur.
While listening to Liya's report, Victor walked out of the small door of the mansion.
The two servants at the door opened the door for them and bowed to them in unison:
"The head of the family, Miss Liya."
Victor still didn't respond, looking ahead and walking mindlessly.
Liya followed him and continued to wave to the servants.
The two servants then straightened up and looked at each other.
Then, Liya followed Victor and continued to report to him:
"As mentioned before, the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Elf Forest and the Empire can also be put on the agenda."
This matter has been prepared for a long, long time, and the Elf Forest is basically handling it alone.
Goods for trade with the empire were prepared within a few months and were fully prepared.
Those elves with free habits must learn the etiquette of the empire.
The people of the empire cannot be allowed to see at a glance the noble and mysterious elves in their hearts.
In fact, they are a group of beautiful savages who don't wear pants and have bare butts.
You must not neglect this aspect, otherwise, it will be a slap in the face of the elves themselves.
However, after everything was ready, the Elf High Priest Venia was ready to bring things to formally establish diplomatic relations.
Finally, she realized a problem, that is, the Elf Forest needed a queen to talk directly to Oberli.
Originally, they had a queen, as long as nothing unexpected happened.
It ended up being an accident.
"Koko suddenly hid, she hid!!!"
When she walked into the garden, Liya's voice suddenly rose several notches.
The sound was so loud that even the chirping birds on the branches were scared away.
The servant who was concentrating on watering the water heard the sudden shout and involuntarily put down the water jug in his hand.
Turning around, Liya and Victor bowed respectfully.
"Master, you are back."
This time, Victor still didn't respond, and even Liya didn't respond either.
The servant looked at the two of them. It seemed that she had nothing to do here, so he tiptoed and left gently.
Some time passed, and Liya still didn't hear any response from Victor.
The accumulated emotions suddenly burst out, and he asked loudly behind Victor:
"You! Are you listening to me!"
Victor came back to his senses and turned to look at Liya:
"I see."
Vega on his shoulder kept sending him a voice, saying that there was always a very foul smell around him.
The closer you get to the center of the garden, the stronger the smell becomes.
So much so that Victor ignored Liya's words.
Victor thought about it for a moment, and there seemed to be only one possibility that could make Vega feel the unpleasant stench.
However, he wanted to see for himself if it was true.
"It's better to go over and take a look first."
Seeing Victor say this, Liya's anger subsided a little.
Victor stepped deeper into the garden on the colorful fallen petals.
The further you go into the garden, the weirder the surrounding atmosphere becomes.
It should have been full of flowers of all colors in bloom, green lawns bathed in sunshine, and fresh air filled with the scent of birds and flowers.
At this moment, it was buried by lush leaves and twisted thorns.
The surrounding vegetation is extremely lush, growing wildly as if it has completely broken free from the constraints of nature.
Thorns were everywhere, with sharp thorns running between them, blocking the way for visitors.
The thick grass wall even blocked out all the sunlight, making the originally bright garden look dark and hideous.
Looking at the appearance of the garden, Victor couldn't help but frown.
Liya glanced at Victor, who was frowning, and explained helplessly:
"This place became like this half a month ago."
"Every day there are a lot of thorns, flowers and plants growing, and a little carelessness can fill the entire garden."
"I can only ask the servants to water the flowers and trim the outside every day."
Her eyes looked into the dark depths, where the thorns could not even be cut open by human power.
Even Hernie couldn't get in.
She wouldn't call Hernason over to trim it.
Victor frowned slightly, but still said calmly:
"You go back first, I'll go in and see what's going on."
"Eh? How are you going to get in...?"
Before she could finish her words, the windbreaker behind Victor was suddenly shrouded in red.
Stripes surging like lava covered the back of the windbreaker, and the hem seemed to be burning with blazing flames.
His body was burning with fire, and he slowly walked into the thorns.
Wherever it goes, the thorns and vines blocking the road will be burned by the flames.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into scattered ashes.
After the flames burn out the vines and thorns, they will control themselves to extinguish, without accidentally injuring the surrounding flowers and plants.
With every step you take, a red footprint will appear on the road, carrying scorching temperature and light.
The red and green colors blended together and were reflected in Liya's eyes.
She stared blankly at Victor, who was driving smoothly, and then closed her mouth sensibly.
That's right, if even Victor can't get in, probably no one in the family can get in either.
As Victor went deeper, the flames on the ground gradually extinguished.
The wind rose and completely blew away the ashes.
Seeing this, Liya plucked up the courage and tentatively walked inside.
But the residual heat from the ground hit her face, and she was startled, and she quickly took two steps back.
This moment made Liya give up the idea of moving forward.
She could only stand there, watching Victor's disappearing back.
I couldn't help but mutter under my breath.
"Quite handsome..."
Seeing that there were still a few rays of fire left in the depths of the darkness, she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Liya stretched her neck slightly, pouted, leaned forward, and looked inside.
But the residual heat still made her feel a little hot.
She quickly stepped back, shrugged, took one last look reluctantly, and left.
…
The deeper you go into the garden, the thicker the thorns become around you.
But these did not affect Victor at all.
Everywhere he walked was covered in flames.
There is no room for the growing thorns to survive.
Vegadu, who was standing on Victor's shoulder, stretched out his wings to cover his nose, and a muffled voice came from the bird's beak:
"This smell is getting more and more disgusting."
"This is definitely the one I hate the most."
demon.
The only person who could make Vega feel such a strong sense of disgust could only be a demon.
"Demons attract each other."
"Perhaps it was Lightton who caused another demon to appear."
Victor put his hands in his pockets and headed deeper into the maze calmly.
However, the entire garden is as dense as a forest maze, making it difficult to distinguish the route.
No sunlight can shine in, only darkness grows freely among the heavy green leaves and thorns.
It was as if there was some terrifying monster hidden in the deepest part.
But Victor didn't care at all about the flower walls and thorns around him.
No road?
Just break one by force.
The flames burned from the middle of the flower wall and gradually expanded.
After expanding into a circle large enough for one person to enter, the flames gradually extinguished.
Victor easily passed through the ashes of the flower wall vines and penetrated deep into them.
But this time, he stopped.
After passing through the flower wall here, the surrounding area seems particularly spacious.
The ground is entangled with thick brown wooden vines, as if they are alive, twisting and swelling from time to time.
The flames illuminated the darkness in front of him, making the scene in the deep garden fully visible.
A huge bud is closing, trembling slightly, as if breathing.
Victor stood there, looking up and down at the pink buds supported by huge green vines.
Suddenly, the flower bud suddenly opened five huge pink petals as if it noticed something.
Between those buds, there lies an elf.
Her limbs were tied by green branches, and there was a thick branch in the middle that passed through her thighs and arms and wrapped around her chest.
Suddenly, countless vines sprouted from the ground, swinging wildly in the air, disorderly and aggressive.
The ground began to shake slightly, and the thick vines that emerged from the soil and the piranha with its big mouth turned towards Victor.
Their sharp teeth drip with foul-smelling saliva, and a long purple tongue streaks across their massive petals.
Countless trees, vines and piranha flowers are mixed together, like a huge army of vegetation, looking forward to the next feast.
The corners of Victor's mouth raised slightly, and he whispered to himself:
"After becoming a fifth-level mage, will you involuntarily release magic power even when you sleep?"
The moment he finished speaking, the red stripes behind him suddenly solidified, and a burst of green suddenly replaced them.
In an instant, a pair of thick tree vines were propped up under Victor's feet, as if two pairs of giant hands were tearing apart the thick wall above.
The bright sunlight slanted down along the entrance of the cave, dispersing the deep darkness.
As the strong wind blew, an astonishing magic ring rose from behind Victor.
At this moment, the power of the fifth-level mage was unleashed by him to the extreme.
Victor still looked at the sleeping Kokot and smiled lightly:
"But it's a pity."
"I'm also at level five."
