Two sharp and cold gazes like arrows burst out from those green snake eyes, which seemed to carry invisible coldness and crisis.
Erica felt Sephiroth's dazzling sharpness, as if she was fixed in place.
She couldn't help but swallow, feeling her heart pounding and a surge of blood rushing into her brain.
This is an...unspeakable feeling of oppression.
She is obviously already a third-level mage.
Even some veteran mages may not be at her current level.
But under the gaze of this strange woman in front of her, she didn't know how to deal with it.
It was like being stared at by a poisonous snake hidden in the dense forest.
The body dare not move.
As long as she moved even a little bit, she would be fatally stabbed by this poisonous snake that was waiting to strike.
There is absolutely no possibility of resistance.
state!
A sudden muffled sound interrupted Erica's thoughts.
She suddenly came back to her senses, and the cold wind blew slightly, making Erica feel a little chilly.
She took a quick breath, feeling the wetness and coldness of her body, which was soaked in cold sweat.
What happened just now?
Erica hurriedly looked in the direction of Victor and Sephiroth.
Sephiroth suddenly held her head in her hands and half-crouched down in pain.
And Victor was standing behind her, with one hand hanging above her head and clenching his fist.
The oppressive feeling that had previously wrapped around his body had disappeared, and even the biting cold had gradually faded away.
Erica finally recovered, and her face turned a little red due to the surge of blood.
It seemed that Professor Victor had just punched her.
At this time, Victor also retracted his hand, looked at Sephiroth who was squatting down in pain, and said calmly:
"Apologize."
With this cold voice, the surrounding atmosphere gradually became colder.
Feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Erica recovered and spoke quickly:
"No, no, no, no, no."
But Victor didn't seem to hear Erica's words, and still stared coldly at Sephiroth who was crouching down:
"Apologize."
Sephiroth also recovered and stood up again.
Although she had been punched just now, just looking at her emotionless expression, it seemed as if nothing had happened just now.
And the pair of green snake eyes also returned to calm.
The momentum can be relaxed and relaxed, but you can still feel the slight danger.
And she also listened to Victor's words, bowed to Erica, and made an apology gesture.
"I'm very sorry, but that's a necessary protective measure."
"If I had to do it again, I would still do it."
"Well……"
Erica's tone paused for a moment and she looked at Sephiroth in front of her.
The woman in front of her gave her a very strange feeling.
It obviously looked like a human, but it gave her the feeling that it was a beast imitating a human.
However, due to the current situation, Erica suppressed her inner doubts and did not ask this question.
But just when she was curious, Victor gave Sephiroth a cold look and said coldly:
"Remember, I will never need your protection."
"There is no need to do anything like this again."
Hearing Victor's words, Erica felt...a little uncomfortable.
Although the previous Professor Victor was also indifferent to others, he would never show such feelings.
It's like... commanding a tool, a machine.
What's even more frightening is that Sephiroth didn't say much after hearing this.
She just lowered her head and processed Victor's information.
Then he responded very calmly:
"yes."
Sephiroth's attitude made Erica's eyes widen.
She couldn't help but start thinking.
What is the relationship between these two people? ?
Wait a minute, isn't this behavior just...
Tune...teach! ?
When this word popped out of Erica's mind uncontrollably, her cheeks instantly turned red.
His hands were shaking, his face was hot, and he couldn't suppress his absurd thoughts.
Is Professor Victor so bold?
You dare to adjust it in broad daylight...that's not right!
Erica couldn't believe that this was actually something Professor Victor could do.
In half a year, Erica will be an adult.
Although she has never experienced anything like this, she has heard about it at least through hearsay.
However, when she thought that Professor Victor was doing this, she was both curious and slightly uncontrollably angry.
How could Professor Victor do this! He has a fiancée!
No, she must ask clearly!
Thinking of this, Erica stammered and opened her mouth and said to Victor:
"Wei...Professor Victor, you..."
"It looks like you have something to say to me."
Before Erica finished speaking, Victor had already interrupted her next question.
He looked at Erica who was stuttering, and there seemed to be some doubts in his tone.
Perhaps because of Victor's sudden interruption, Erica paused slightly.
Suddenly she felt that it would be wrong to ask so directly, so she hurriedly changed her words:
"Ah, yes! I have something to tell you."
Victor nodded, turned to look at the towering mage tower, and responded calmly:
"Then let's go in and talk."
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor walked into the teleportation circle that had been awakened in front of the mage tower.
Sephiroth was like his follower, following closely behind.
The azure magic circle enveloped the two of them, and a series of bright blue ripples passed through them.
Following the activation of the magic circle, Victor and Sephiroth turned into two faint points of light and disappeared.
The teleportation circle is still shining with light, as if waiting for the next person to enter.
Seeing the two people disappear, Erica's head was buzzing and her brain was in chaos.
Professor Victor... actually brought a strange woman into his mage tower! ?
She couldn't even imagine what they would do if she weren't here!
And, what did that woman just say...?
"Professor Victor...is hers?"
this……
Erica shook her head quickly to get rid of all the obscure thoughts in her mind.
No, no, Professor Victor can't do that.
She must have been too sensitive since she hadn't seen the professor for a long time.
She quickly approached the teleportation circle that entered the inside of the mage tower, and it also turned into a blue light spot, and her body slowly dispersed.
…
Click——
Erica pushed open the door and entered.
Stepping on the soft fur carpet, a simple and peaceful woody smell penetrated Erica's nose.
She raised her head and saw Victor sitting leisurely on the chair.
Sephiroth, wearing a robe, stood quietly behind Victor, exuding a vague aura of danger.
The moment he saw Erica come in, Victor waved casually.
A chair automatically floated over and was placed behind Erica.
"Thank you, Professor."
After politely thanking her, Erica sat on the chair.
Immediately afterwards, the teapot on the table floated, and a glass of water was automatically poured and floated in front of Erica.
She calmly took the water glass, blew on it, and took a careful sip.
She was indeed a little thirsty from running all the way here just now.
Except within the teaching building, the use of teleportation magic is prohibited elsewhere in the academy.
Otherwise, she could use a teleportation magic to teleport directly to Professor Victor.
After taking a sip of water, she cleared her throat, faced Victor, and said to him seriously:
"That's right, Professor Victor."
"Do you still remember the Reiser family?"
Victor nodded.
Of course he remembered, after all, the Cravenner family had such influence today thanks to the Reiser family.
Reputation, elves, and weapons are all more or less provided by the Reiser family.
It can be said that the Leiser family are all good people.
At least for Victor, that's the case.
So, when he heard the name of the Reiser family, Victor thought that this family was going to do charity again.
But Erica acted extremely serious:
"If it were just other members of the Reiser family, I wouldn't have come to inform you."
"But this time, the head of the Reiser family is back."
Victor narrowed his eyes and leaned back slightly.
The head of the Reiser family and the father of Jace Reiser and Devin Reiser.
The old emperor's sister and Lady Cassana's husband.
It is said that the head of the family is a genius.
Advanced city-Tiebo.
This technological city that appeared in the Middle Ages was finally built based on the proposal he drafted.
It is said that the head of the Leiser family was originally just an ordinary businessman.
I don’t know how I married the emperor’s sister and gained royal support.
Since then, he has shown his immense talent.
Under his economic operation, the Reiser family soon became the richest family in the Kalencia Empire.
The economic lifeline of the entire southern part of the empire is almost firmly in the hands of the Reiser family.
It can be said that the head of the Reese family is like the God of Commerce of the Kalencia Empire.
It was only in the subsequent time that he left the empire and went to a place no one knew about.
And now, has he actually come back?
Victor raised his eyebrows, becoming somewhat interested.
Although the influence of the Reiser family has indeed declined a lot, this is only compared to the Cravena family.
He controls the economic lifeline of the southern part of the empire and is also related to the royal family.
No matter what happens, the Reiser family will not be in a state of decline.
"so what?"
Victor looked at Erica with a deep look.
And Erica continued:
"My father said that some time ago, when you left the empire to visit the kingdom, the second prince went to Tiyebo."
"It is said that he went to find the eldest prince."
What Duke Levi wanted to convey to Victor was very simple.
To put it simply, the Reiser family supported the eldest prince, and the second prince went to find the eldest prince.
It happened to be at that moment that Aubrey personally said that he would hand over the throne to the princess of Aurelion.
Although it was only spoken verbally at the time, after all, it was Oberly who announced the matter personally in front of a group of nobles.
Even if it is said casually, the impact will be huge.
Although after the matter was said, Victor and Aurelion left.
But during the month they left, the empire was not peaceful.
After all, there are not a few nobles who support the eldest prince and the second prince.
Some people are even willing to stake all their family wealth on it.
If they were really willing to watch Aubrey pass the throne to the princess so easily.
Then their final outcome is to draw water from a bamboo basket but come up empty-handed.
Therefore, those nobles should advise and speak what they should say.
Let the emperor not be anxious about the inheritance of the throne and wait a little longer.
The emperor is still in good health, so don't rush to confirm the candidate.
Besides, there is no reason to pass the throne to the princess.
Over the years, there has not been a queen in the empire.
Some ministers even started a hunger strike to protest.
And now, even the head of the Lesser family is about to return to the royal capital.
Obviously, everyone is resisting the passing of the princess.
After hearing this, Victor thought for a while and couldn't help but feel a little funny and said:
"So, the second prince went to the eldest prince to cooperate?"
"He doesn't want the throne anymore?"
