It was getting late, and only the dim lights shone on the Delin mansion, making it look particularly quiet.
Kefla sends Victor out of the mansion.
The two walked across the stone-paved courtyard in silence, only the crisp sound of their footsteps echoing in the air.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Kefla stopped behind Victor and finally couldn't help but ask:
"So, why did you bring out Angus' armor?"
This is a problem that has been plaguing Kefla from the beginning to the end.
Today, the snow mastiff armor is still placed in Delin's mansion.
Victor didn't take it away.
It was as if they were deliberately trying to bring that piece of armor back to light and bring it back to their home.
Victor listened to her question and explained calmly while walking ahead:
"I want to ask him some questions."
"There's something about Gwen that I'm curious about."
Um? ah?
Hearing this, Kefla stopped, her eyes widened and she froze on the spot.
No, isn't Angus already dead?
Exhume his bones and ask some questions?
It doesn't feel right no matter how you think about it.
But before Kefla could fully come to her senses, Victor once again threw out an extremely shocking piece of news to her:
"But when I opened Angus's grave, his body was not inside."
Kefla: "?"
Hearing Victor's words, Kefla was completely shocked and speechless.
With his mouth half open, his eyes were in a trance.
Wait, what did Victor say? ?
He also opened the coffin! ?
Kefla stood there, shaking her head violently like a rattle.
She was trying to become more sober, but then realized that this matter didn't seem to be important.
So he quickly continued to ask Victor:
"What's the meaning?"
Victor dug up her father's grave, but her father wasn't in the grave?
Victor said calmly to Kefla:
"In the tomb, there is only Angus' armor."
"So I brought the armor out."
Kefla fell silent, feeling as if some words were stuck in her chest and she couldn't get them out.
If it was as Victor said, it would be a supernatural incident.
That tomb was dug and built under her personal command.
What is certain is that no one has tampered with the tomb.
Moreover, Angus' body has obviously lost the breath of life, so the possibility of suspended animation can be completely ruled out.
So, what exactly happened?
At this time, she remembered Victor's purpose again.
He said that Angus's grave was dug up to find out something about Gwen?
This is too ridiculous.
But she couldn't help but ask:
"So, what do you want to ask about Gwen?"
Victor had left the mansion and was standing outside the gate.
Hearing Kefla's voice, he turned around and met Kefla's eyes.
A high wall passed between the two of them, as if they were completely separated.
On one side were brightly lit mansions, on the other were dark streets.
The dim light made his shadow a little hazy.
In that haze, Victor's obsidian eyes seemed to burst out from the darkness with two dark rays of light:
"What did Gwen go through when she was a child?"
…
The wheels of the carriage rolled across the winding blue brick road, the carriage swayed slightly, and the crisp sound of grinding wheels sounded in the quiet night street.
There is no horse traction in front of this carriage, and the wheels on both sides draw the blue magic, urging the carriage forward.
Victor sat in the car, opened the car window curtain, and looked at the Delin mansion not far away.
The huge and white mansion windows revealed a red-yellow light, which looked particularly soft against the bright moonlight.
The Delin Mansion became smaller and smaller in his sight, until it was obscured by thick leaves and disappeared.
Vega stood opposite Victor, shaking his body.
Looking at him with one eye and raised eyebrows, he opened his beak as if to mock and said;
"Are you satisfied with this?"
Victor turned around and looked into Vega's only one deep eye:
"Maybe I won't be able to feel at ease in the future, but at least for now I'm satisfied."
Vega chuckled, and the narrow laughter echoed in the street.
Victor, on the other hand, had an expressionless face, closing his eyes and meditating on the cushioned backrest of the carriage.
In fact, Victor lied to Kefla.
He did visit Angus's tomb and found no remains.
However, he did not tell Kefla.
In the tomb, Angus's armor moved on its own.
Just like the armor called [Hellfire General] in Tisnato's tomb last time.
Angus' armor was also transformed into a level 50 BOSS unit.
The name is - [Snow Mastiff Knight].
The body of the original owner, which was also not in the tomb, also had a piece of moving armor in the tomb.
Victor inevitably associates the two and suspects that there is a special relationship.
Although in the end, he easily defeated the strangely moving armor, took it out of the tomb, and handed it to Gwen.
Although he could have just left with the armor and there was no need to give it to her.
It was only in Angus's tomb that Victor realized something.
"The original intention of letting Kefla take the message was just to test Gwen."
Victor explained simply:
To put it simply, he hopes to awaken Gwen's precipitated emotions through some stimulating actions.
Gwen once spent her childhood in a heavy and serious environment, and no elder was willing to tolerate her.
Even her father couldn't bear to look at her
The only relative close to her is Kefla.
Therefore, after Kefla passed away in the game, Gwen completely gave up all human emotions.
At first glance, Kefla appears to be the key to Gwen's soul.
Only as long as this key remains alive can Gwen uncover the coldness within her.
Likewise, once even Kefla dies.
Gwen will become an emotionless justice machine, executing absolute fairness and justice.
However, when Gwen's emotions included Victor, her stable state began to become unstable.
And the act of covering up Victor's lies directly caused Gwen to lose her 'heart of justice'.
To put it simply, Victor's test of Gwen is very simple.
"Whether she values me or not is very important."
Just as Gwen valued Kefla, even if Kefla came back to visit her for a long time, she would remain in good condition.
Because at that time Gwen was still worried.
That is Kevlar.
Similarly, if Gwen values Victor, there will be unnecessary fluctuations due to Victor's behavior.
To put it simply,
Gwen was anxious.
When Gwen realized that Victor might have done something to her, her emotions were very intense.
This even made her take the initiative to ask Victor:
Have you done anything else to apologize to me?
but……
"I can feel that Gwen's heart of justice has recovered a little."
Victor looked at the shadows of treetops passing by on both sides and took a deep breath.
This was the first time Gwen showed other emotions after entering this state.
It's just funny that the heart of justice that he used to care about and even be wary of all the time has returned in such a dramatic way.
Victor thought about it, staring at the moon that passed through the clouds in the sky, and sighed.
Vega stood opposite him and laughed jokingly:
"Isn't that great, Victor."
“You always want to pursue perfection in everything, but the reality is always unsatisfactory.”
“No one can guarantee perfection in everything.”
It raised its head, one wing stood proudly, the other wing stretched out, and said:
"Life is full of choices."
"If you want Gwen to recover, her 'heart of justice' will definitely return."
"If you want Gwen to lose her 'heart of justice', she will definitely maintain the status quo."
As Vega spoke, he put one wing in front of the bird's beak, revealing only the deep single eye.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a chaotic aura surging behind his eyes.
The voice it spoke became a little weird, like a mixed sound coming from all directions, echoing in the carriage:
"So, choose."
“In the end, it’s about choosing to achieve yourself and maintain the status quo.”
"Or is it because of Gwen that all your hard work will be in vain?"
Vega's words seemed to be a bit bewitching, as if they were teasing Victor's deep desires.
So Victor closed his eyes and sat on the sofa to think slowly.
…
"Professor, wake up."
The moment the charming aura gradually occupied his brain, a clear voice sounded in Victor's ears.
It made his wandering thoughts return to his body.
Feeling a warmth in his arms, Victor slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he woke up completely, he saw Hernie leaning on his arms.
Arms wrapped around each other, fitting tightly.
Although his eyes were very blurry, Victor could feel that Hernie was very clear and rational now.
Those charming pink eyes were full of affection, but Hernie's eyes were extremely serious and solemn.
This bold little assistant coach, so intoxicated and sober as a mirror, was attracting him hard.
"I don't know since when, I started to like you, I like you very much."
Her words were full of tenderness and enthusiasm.
But what was unexpected was that in the next second, Henie took the initiative to take two steps back and broke away from Victor's warm embrace.
She could obviously use this almost magical charm to make Victor fall deeper.
But at this last critical second, Heni gave up.
She took a few steps back, like an elegant white deer, stopping at the edge of the cliff.
Hernie's long hair fluttered gracefully in the evening breeze, revealing the girl's unique agility.
She gently smoothed the ends of her hair and lifted her ears.
"But I also know that something is wrong with me."
"I started losing control of myself."
Those fluorescent yellow eyes are deep and soft, passionate and touching, and even make people feel that the spring breeze cannot compare with them.
The so-called gentle land in the world?
I'm afraid her eyes are the most perfect interpretation.
"But, I always remember."
She whispered, her voice fluctuating under the moonlight:
"You are the person I love most."
Hernie's eyes were crooked, facing the moonlight, looking at Victor.
"My teacher once taught me that life is all about choices."
"But if there is such a choice, the person I love can also fall in love with my choice."
Through the moonlight, Victor seemed to see some sparkling crystals in the corners of Hernie's eyes.
"So--"
Along with the warm wind of the night, gently drifting:
"I would never force you to fall in love with me."
