Chapter 12: Tangled

When Dean left in a hurry, Victor suddenly felt agitated, and withdrew from an inexplicable state, recovering to normal.

"What's wrong with me?"

Victor was horrified by his previous expression, "How can I easily trust a stranger I just met?" Why did Dean believe everything he said without any doubts? Heading to Greenland? I actually agreed......"

Knowing that his consciousness had been affected in some way, Victor hurriedly checked the real-time information record of the previous moment through Guò Superbrain.

"Warning! Enters the area of effect of an unknown skill......"

"Trigger Skill Check ......"

"The perceptual attribute is 13...... Skill test is not passed through guò......"

"Influenced by the skill 'Natural Charm'......"

"Natural Allure: Passive Skill. When there is no malice, gain +15 Persuasion and +50 Opinion. ”

"After judgment, this skill is not a threat to the host's life, cancel the mandatory warning prompt......"

“……”

"Leave the ...... of 'Natural Charm' Range"

"Restore ...... normal state"

Breathing out with palpitations, although Victor confirmed that Dean did not have any malicious intent, he also remembered this lesson: under the premise that life safety is not fully guaranteed, do not despise anyone!!

"I believe Dean will be able to bring good news soon...... In this case, I should also organize my belongings in advance and prepare for the trip. ”

While packing up his things, Victor summed up the progress he had made in half a month.

"Except for the first meditation and spell casting, the next qiē actions are all performed with the assistance of the superbrain......"

"I have to say that the superbrain is a contradictory being!! With its assistance, the efficiency of analyzing and cracking spell models is really high...... Because of this, I was able to master all the Zero Ring spells in just a dozen days. ”

After putting all the belongings in order, Victor glanced at the house with emotion. It was here, in this humble environment, that he truly embarked on the path of a mage.

"I can't forget it......"

Victor's heart was full of sadness, because he didn't know if he would have a chance to return here.

"War in the North...... How did I forget what was the cause of this war? Just remember that Carter City is destined to fall into blood......"

Victor sighed, and he thought of Uncle Leo, Aunt Maria, and the lovely little Penny, who had become a mage and would not be able to meet them again in a short time.

"Gotta figure it out! Reveal this to Uncle Leo so he can prepare...... However, as the uncle of the temple's chief paladin, will he still believe my heretical? ”

Victor struggled, he didn't know what he had to do to handle it.

At this moment, a "fluttering" sound of flapping wings sounded!

A small, inconspicuous bird flapped its wings into the house and landed on Victor's right shoulder.

Sensing the mental fluctuations left by Dean, Victor did not dodge.

"Mr. Victor......" Bird's eyes lit up slightly, and Dean's voice appeared in Victor's head, "My mentor has agreed!" But before he leaves Greenland, he wants to meet you in person......"

"Please be prepared before you go, I'll pick you up tonight!"

"If we have a qiē shun lì, we will set off early the day after tomorrow......"

"Animal messengers?"

After a little thought, Victor remembered this more commonly used one-ring spell.

When the message was finished, the bird standing on Victor's shoulder chirped a few times, flapped its wings and flew away.

In the blink of an eye, it left Victor's field of vision and disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that Dean and his mentor are not very far from me......"

Based on the time and the speed at which the birds were flying, Victor Guò easily deduced the approximate range of their position.

"Before I meet with Dean's mentor, I'd better take care of my own business!"

For Victor, what he cares about the most ...... It's just Leo's family.

Walking down the narrow streets, Victor returned to the alley in the old town's neighborhood, and as he passed by Uncle Leo's door, he stole a glance.

"Sure enough...... It's deserted! Uncle Leo, they must have returned to the City Lord's Mansion to live...... Well, maybe in the temple area. It's going to be hard to do now......"

Victor scratched his head in annoyance, "Perhaps, I can still do this......"

……

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Aunt Maria was no longer the commoner woman, she wore a long pullover made of silk, a wide skirt that almost covered her feet, and a necklace of jewels around her neck, and a noble woman's style.

At this time, she was sitting on a luxurious wooden chair in the back garden, sewing a beautiful little dress for her daughter.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Maria's ears, which made her body tremble and her face showed a look of surprise.

"Aunt Maria, it's me! Little Vic ......"

"You don't have to say anything, you just have to listen to me......"

Using the Zero Ring spell "Communication", Victor, who was located outside the City Lord's Mansion and found a suitable location, easily got in touch with Aunt Maria.

“…… That's how it happened...... Carter City is too dangerous, and Uncle Leo must be prepared for it......"

"Aunt Maria, I'm leaving the city! You, Uncle Leo, and Nini are like family to me......"

"Now that I'm not fit to meet you...... I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future...... That's all for it...... Goodbye, Aunt Maria! ”

A dejected Maria muttered, "Oh, my poor little Vic...... How did you become a mage? ”

……

After sharing the information with Aunt Maria, Victor's heart was clear and relieved.

Late at night, Victor hides quietly in a dark corner near his residence.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

When there was a faint knock on the door, he spied a sneaky peek.

"Dean! I'm here ......."

Victor's voice startled Dean in the dark corner.

"You guy! Can't you trust me? ”

Dean said in chagrin, "I've never seen a guy as scared of death as you......"

"Hey, hey! That's because you can't see yourself......"

Victor replied lightly: "If there are no other questions, can we go?" ”

"Yes, follow me!!" Dean's voice was full of unhappiness.

"Don't worry."

Dressed as an adventurer, Victor took a deep look at his residence and followed Dean out of the area.
