The moment the noble's words rang out, the eldest prince was suddenly shocked.
He said that the person in the ice cube was somewhat familiar, but he didn't recognize him for a while.
It turns out that she is really the daughter of Duke Levi!
Seeing the girl in front of him, the eldest prince remembered that Duke Levi had also been invited to this banquet.
However, the Duke declined the invitation on the grounds that he had important matters and asked his daughter to attend the banquet in his place.
But Albany only saw Erica once at the beginning of the party, and had no impression of her after that.
Why didn't I see her for a while and she was stuffed into the ice?
The eldest prince looked at Erica who was sealed in the ice, with a burst of anxiety on his face.
"We must find a way to rescue her!"
This is the Duke's daughter, there is no room for error.
Fortunately, at this time, Claudia carefully observed Erica in the ice and said softly to the eldest prince:
"Don't worry, she's fine."
After saying this, the eldest prince and the noble were all stunned.
The two people stood blankly in place, looking at each other.
No, everyone is sealed in the ice. Is this okay?
The eldest prince looked at the ice again, and saw that Erica's body still seemed to be rising and falling slightly.
His breathing was steady, as if he was sleeping peacefully in the ice.
Looking at the scene in front of him, the eldest prince felt a little incredible.
Did he fall asleep in the ice?
Claudia's eyes also fell on the ice.
However, what she focused on was not Erica, but the golden light surrounding the ice.
She stretched out her hand and gently touched the ice, feeling the familiar repulsive force.
It was exactly the same as what I felt in Lipoot.
Based on this alone, she could basically determine who imprisoned the girl in front of her in the ice.
Claudia stared at the golden light, pondered for a moment and then turned to ask the eldest prince:
"What did Victor say to Lipoot just now?"
After hearing her words, the eldest prince gradually came back to his senses, stroked his chin, and began to remember:
"Mother, you mean...?"
Victor calls Lipoot Nannad.
The surname Nannad is well-known among business people.
That is the surname of the president of the Cassidla Chamber of Commerce, the largest chamber of commerce in the world.
The eldest prince couldn't help but start to think deeply about the meaning.
In other words, Lipoot may be related to the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce, which is an independent and powerful organization.
If Lipoot represents the Cassidla Chamber of Commerce, that would be a bit scary to think about.
Because as early as decades ago, Lipoot had come to the empire under the alias of a businessman with the surname of 'Leiser'.
And established a financial empire belonging to the Reiser family in the empire.
And now, he even has ties to the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce outside the empire.
From this point of view, Lipoot's wealth and power are not even weaker than those of the Empire.
However, such a person was easily killed by Victor?
The eldest prince instinctively didn't want to believe it.
But that's not what Claudia asked. She continued calmly:
"No, what I want to know is what Victor said next."
Because Victor released the terrifying fifth-level magic at that time, the explosion shook the air, making Claudia unable to hear his last words clearly.
"It seems like Hel... or something?"
The eldest prince couldn't remember clearly either.
At that time, his attention was attracted by the thrilling magic, and he missed the conversation between Victor and Lipoot for the first time.
After all, that shocking magic was enough to attract the attention of everyone present.
The more Claudia thought about it, the more she felt that this half of the name felt familiar.
But after all, they didn't hear the full name clearly, so they didn't know the second half of the name.
The most urgent thing at the moment is to rescue Erica from the ice.
The eldest prince looked at Erica in the ice, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"In this situation, we can only let Count Victor come to the rescue."
Fortunately, he also knew that Erica was Victor's student.
Victor should not ignore it.
When the nobles on the side heard this, they reacted with discernment and hurriedly volunteered:
"I'll go find Mr. Victor right now."
However, before he could take a step, a familiar cold voice from the side slowly sounded:
"No need, I'm already here."
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the figure in a black windbreaker was slowly approaching.
He held the staff and walked calmly in front of several people.
The moment he saw Victor, the eldest prince immediately relaxed.
Somehow, Victor's presence always brings peace of mind to many people.
It must be said that this is Victor's powerful influence.
"Mr. Victor, what on earth is going on?"
Victor lowered his head, his calm gaze falling on Erica in the ice, as if he was gazing deeply at her peaceful face.
Even the crow on the shoulder narrowed its dark and deep single eye and secretly communicated with Victor in his heart:
"Interesting work. It seems that the little thief god is not useless."
"Ah, yes."
Looking at this scene, Victor calmly said to himself:
"Hermes, I admit his treachery."
"It did create a little trouble for me."
The eldest prince standing aside heard Victor talking to himself and couldn't help but curiously asked:
"Trouble? Count Victor, what trouble are you referring to?"
"Do you need my help?"
But Claudia, who heard Victor speaking next to her, her eyes hidden under the mask suddenly widened.
"Hel...Mess?"
She whispered softly, as if she heard some extraordinary name.
At this time, Victor put his hands in his pockets, turned around and looked in the direction where the elves were hiding, and said lightly:
"If nothing else happens, something will happen to the elves."
After hearing these words, the eldest prince felt even more confused.
If nothing else happens, will there be an accident?
While he was deep in thought, there was a sudden sound of falling to the ground from where the elves were hiding.
The eldest prince was attracted by the sound and looked up, just in time to see several elves falling from the tree.
They huddled up, clutching their chests with their hands, looking extremely painful.
The elf on the side watched his companion fall, thinking that the other party failed to stand firm.
The elf next to him saw his companion falling and thought he had slipped and fallen.
But seeing their painful looks, they suddenly realized that the situation was serious, and their expressions immediately became panicked.
They quickly jumped off the branch and gently touched their companions' bodies:
"You...what's wrong with you!"
But when she saw the bloody thorns emerging from her companion's neck, they continued to climb.
His face turned pale with fright, and he stumbled back a few steps.
The bloody thorns wandered over the skin like lines of life.
It wrapped around the elf's neck and western limbs, and was extending towards her chest.
A sharp sting and a strong sense of suffocation covered the entire body of the fallen elf.
The longer the thorns stretched, the more she felt the stinging pain in her heart, and the pain penetrated deep into her bones.
The shrill screams echoed across the quiet land, attracting everyone's attention.
The eldest prince witnessed this scene, and shock burst out in his doubtful eyes.
"This...what the hell is going on?"
How could such a good elf suddenly fall to the ground and act so painfully?
Almost at the same time, the demon hunters standing behind Claudia reacted immediately.
Their eyes gradually turned red as they stared at the group of elves covered in thorns.
At that moment, the demon hunters felt a familiar power on the elves.
Like prey that should be hunted.
Only Claudia is different.
She was also a demon hunter, but her eyes were calmly focused on these elves.
Because of this power, she is very familiar with it.
"The devil of jealousy..."
However, these elves were not possessed by jealous demons and became what they are today.
They were simply attacked by the escaped jealous demon.
Each original demon has its own special characteristics.
The greed demon can never satisfy his greed, and the anger demon will get angry from time to time.
Similarly, the character of the jealous demon is its excessive jealousy.
The demon of jealousy attacks those who excel in all aspects.
For example, beautiful, smart, or strong.
And the reason why it attacks such people is precisely because——
The devil of jealousy will never allow these people to be more perfect than it is.
And among the people present, it is self-evident that the most perfect creature is there.
Elves are called the darlings of nature. Each of them is the most perfect individual born from nature.
So they were attacked by the demon of jealousy.
At this time, Victor's voice suddenly sounded:
"Your Highness, do you know why elves are known as nature's darlings?"
Hearing this, the eldest prince turned to look at Victor and responded subconsciously:
"Because... once someone hurts an elf, he will naturally be punished."
This is almost universally known.
But when the eldest prince answered this question, his eyes suddenly widened.
"They were attacked by the jealous demon."
Following Victor's explanation, at that moment, panic quickly covered the eldest prince's face.
"Quick, hurry up and save them..."
"That's too late."
Claudia's voice sounded from the side. At that moment, the eldest prince could only open his eyes in shock, helplessly watching the group of elves suffer.
The air in Western Zhou Dynasty seemed to be filled with tension, and the feeling of panic spread quickly like air waves.
boom--! ! !
Suddenly, there was a strong shock on the ground beneath his feet, and a dull rumble spread almost throughout the entire courtyard.
Everyone felt the terrifying tremors coming from their feet, and many people were unable to stand stably in the strong vibrations.
My legs were weak and I almost fell.
Even their vision became blurry.
A nobleman felt the shock and looked puzzled:
Was it an earthquake just now?
He looked around Xizhou in panic, found a wall to lean on, and then managed to steady himself.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Victor, hoping to get some comfort from him.
But Victor did not explain the cause of the vibration. He just looked quietly in the direction of the elves, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
"Get ready to evacuate all residents in the capital."
The eldest prince looked at Victor in astonishment, only to hear Victor's voice continue to sound:
"War is coming."
