Chapter 8 My house is very big, and I can sleep directly when I am tired
Victor calmly read the bill and gently placed it on the table.
"Leah, what are the sources of income for the territory?"
Hearing Victor's question, Leah tilted her head and squinted at him.
As if she were looking at a fool, she chuckled softly, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"As a lord, you don't know the source of income from your territory?"
Although Victor really didn't know, that didn't stop Leah from laughing at his 'unworthy lord'.
"Listen, we, Clavenna, take the grain and ore trade as our main income!"
In Leah's explanation, Victor understood a rough idea.
Under the name of the Clavenna family, there is a territory named after 'Clavenna'.
The land is fertile and surrounded by lush forests.
The territory was about 100 kilometers away from the royal capital, and it only took a day to reach it by horse-drawn carriage.
As a result, the second most prosperous town in the empire is located here.
The Clevenna Territory has a fertile vein, even now, enough to be mined for more than 50 years.
The geographical location is close to the royal capital, the land is fertile, the grain is abundant, and the family has a mine.
It's hard for the Cravina family to think about it without money.
"But lately there has been a lot less ore production, and now it's not the season to harvest the grain. The grain we sold before was stored in the granary last year. ”
Leah faced Victor in an angry tone.
"The food also has to ensure the consumption of our territory, it is impossible to sell it all, and now the income of the territory is very small, you dare to spend money like this at this juncture!"
Victor nodded, his face showing no expression, but very calm.
"Don't you have the slightest idea of repentance?"
Leah looked at Victor in disbelief, she knew that her brother was a no-brainer, but she didn't know anything.
Victor thought for a moment, touched his chin and responded to her:
"You go and hire a few mages, and then buy a storefront in the most prosperous part of the royal capital and open a mage prop shop."
When Leah heard Victor's proposal, she immediately exploded, and said sharply:
"Victor! Didn't you listen to a word of my advice? ”
"Do you think this kind of shop is rare in the royal capital!?"
"What if you open a store!? Think your name is bigger than all the merchants? ”
"Victor, do you know how to do business!"
The more Leah spoke, the more excited she became.
She thought that after the death of her parents, she began to learn to manage the territory from a young age, and maintained it for more than ten years, until now, the territory can still have some surplus.
No matter how defeated Victor was, she never complained.
And now, this Victor, who doesn't know anything, is going to meddle in the business of his family!
What the hell is he going to do!
Between the words, the more he spoke, the more he felt aggrieved.
Seeing that he couldn't calm Leah's emotions with words, Victor didn't want to say anything more, but with a wave of his hand, dozens of blue magic potions appeared on the table in front of the two.
Liya was stunned for a moment, looking at the blue sea-colored potion on the table, and the emotion she just wanted to attack actually stopped.
"What is this?"
She blinked.
Nowadays, no one has ever seen a magic potion like this.
Items to restore mana exist, but they all have one thing in common.
Scarce and expensive.
There are only potions on the market that heal injuries, and their effects are very different from the [Life Potion] used by players.
One is a slow recovery similar to drinking medicine, and the other is health recovery immediately after taking it.
That's the difference between reality and game props.
To put it bluntly, put the game item into reality, and that is pure bUg.
Even a small bottle of instant healing magic potion can become a god-level item.
So Victor didn't explain, and it was still too hard to believe when it came out of his mouth.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Victor commanded lightly.
"Go find a few mages and let them cast spells until they are exhausted, then take a bottle and you'll know what to do."
Leah was suspicious, but she took all the potions anyway.
"By the way, do you have any helpers?"
Hearing Victor's question, Leah smiled contemptuously: "Yo, our high lord has also learned to be sympathetic to his subordinates?" ”
Victor didn't care about the other party's cynicism, and the discord between their siblings was also related to Victor's inaction.
So, he just repeated his question.
"Seriously, have you ever hired a bodyguard or something like that for your caravan?"
Leah snorted coldly.
"No, I can't trust anyone."
In other words, Clevenner's business has always been done by Lia alone.
"Won't you encounter danger on the road? Although the territory is not far from the royal capital, it is also a whole day's journey. ”
Leah was surprised that her unreliable brother cared about her for a day, but this concern made her a little uncomfortable.
She leaned against the table, stretched out a finger around the end of her hair, and turned her face away unnaturally.
"Hmm...... No, we have our own trade routes, and if we encounter thieves or something, as long as we show our Clevina family crest, the other side will know each other and leave, and there is usually nothing to do. ”
"At least not in any danger ever before."
After that, she didn't look at Victor, but took out a bottle of potion and looked at it carefully.
Victor nodded, and then took off the mage's hand in his right hand.
"Liya, listen up, it's extraordinary to go to the royal capital to open a shop this time, this precious thing is very easy to be coveted by others, wear it, you can face some unexpected situations."
Leah looked at the gloves handed by Victor and put down the medicine bottle, a little tangled.
"Don't worry, it's just a mage's prop that will automatically adapt to the size of your palm."
Leah thought to herself that she didn't care about that, but she couldn't explain it, and reached out to take the fingerless glove, which still had the residual warmth of Victor's palm.
She touched the jewel on her glove, and a wave of resentment rose in her heart.
As a businessman, she naturally understands what is on it.
Magic Stones, gems that can transmit magic, each worth millions......
He actually installed six pieces on one glove!
There was some distraction in her heart, but she surprisingly didn't attack Victor.
Leah put on the gloves, and as Victor said, the gloves automatically adapted to the shape of her hands.
"Open your palm and aim it at me, and think of the gem of the glove with your mind, any one."
She listened to the instructions and opened her palm to Victor.
There was a green gem in the middle, and she thought to herself that the color of this gem was beautiful.
Is that okay? ’
A question flashed in his heart, and suddenly, the green gem lit up slightly, and then ......
Scold!
Like a ripple explosion, a magic circle quickly formed in the palm of Liya's palm!
Almost instantly, a violent storm filled the entire study, and the paper crackled.
The hurricane is on top of the circle, and it keeps getting bigger!
Victor's fingers tapped on the desk, and the teleportation circle quickly formed in the air.
After the hurricane had reached a certain level, it was sucked into the teleportation circle.
Suddenly, the storm subsided.
A few seconds later, I heard a startling cracking sound nearby.
Leah froze.
"Just now...... That was just now? ”
"Second-Order Magic: [Tempest], powerful enough to flatten a mountain."
"Don't be so surprised."
Looking at the dazed Leah, Victor knocked on the desk, and the magic circle in the air dissipated.
How could Liya not be surprised, she was not a mage, and she had only seen others let go of spells.
And the magic just now was released from his own hands.
She's dizzy now.
"It turns out .... Here's how it feels to cast magic. ”
She stood there in such a daze, forgetting to even withdraw her hand.
Victor refilled the glove with magic and continued to the shocked Riya: "Be careful, this time you let you release not only to master the trick, but more importantly, not to go off, you have also seen the power of this thing. ”
"Pay attention to the number of times you use it, you can only use it once for a gem."
"Come back to me when you're done with it, and I'll refill it for you."
Leah knew how precious and valuable it was for Victor to give her, at least she had never seen a device that allowed ordinary people to use spells when she was so old.
She was about to say that if she sold it, she would definitely make a lot of money, but suddenly she remembered Victor's solemn attitude, and she stopped.
It's something that can be used to save lives.
Leah hesitated for a moment, and said to Victor a little awkwardly, "Thank you." ”
Then he hurriedly left with a magic potion.
After the door to the study was closed, the crow on Victor's shoulder spoke:
"Don't you feel sorry for this thing to others?"
"It's just a prop, you can make it whenever you want, and I don't really need it."
The Mage's Hand is not usually used, but it is very useful in PvP, as a prop for multiple instantaneous magic, to seize the opportunity, or to defend urgently.
Basically, they are all props that mage players must equip when PK.
He doesn't really need it for the time being.
Hearing Victor's words, Vega didn't say anything more, and began to think carefully in his heart.
'Gotta find a way to fool him into making a joke for me.' ’
......
Early the next morning, Victor finished breakfast and was about to get up for the academy, and just as he had packed his clothes, he saw the servant walk in.
"My lord, there's a lady out there who claims to be your teaching assistant, and says she's here to deliver you notes and speeches."
Victor's movements in his clothes paused.
Henny is coming?
He didn't seem to say that he would ask Herney to deliver things to his doorstep.
Still, he called the servant to beckon them in.
As a result, I saw two dark circles on Hernie's haggard face.
"Why does it look like this? Didn't have a good rest? ”
As if awakened, Hernie said to Victor;
"No, Professor, I forgot to sleep last night, and then I wrote the manuscript all night."
This reason really made Victor feel powerless to complain.
"After Erica sent the notes, I remember that you said that they would be sent to you, so I brought them with the speech."
Looking at Heni, who was a little dozing, Victor really couldn't say anything to educate her.
Should I say she's a little silly?
He asked, after a moment of silence.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Henny shook her head, she had arrived early in the morning, and she hadn't slept or eaten.
Victor beckoned, and told the servant to take her to breakfast, and then arrange a room for a good rest.
Hernie let out a panicked "eh", and was about to say no, but heard Victor's tone that could not be refused.
"Fill your stomach and rest."
Hernie suddenly wilted, she didn't dare to resist Victor, she lowered her head, like a frosted eggplant, and was taken away by the servant.
As for Victor, he had wanted to go to the academy in the morning, but when he saw Hernie coming, he changed his mind.
The class was in the afternoon, so he planned to look at Erica's homework and his own speeches and spend the morning in the study.
Victor corrected Erica's homework and asked Vega without turning his head.
"What do you think of that kid?"
Vega was stunned for a moment when he asked this, and it knew that the person Victor mentioned was Hernie.
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say, 'Let me recruit believers for you?' Victor stretched, tapped his fingers on the speech on the table, and turned his head to look at Vega, his squinted eyes revealing astuteness and danger.
"This kind of silly white sweetness is the most suitable for fooling."
