"Victor!! Do you want to be scolded so much! ”

There was a roar from the mansion that resounded through the courtyard.

When the servant outside the door heard this, he was so frightened that he shrunk his neck.

They whispered to each other, "Mr. Victor and Mademoiselle are arguing again. ”

"It's been a long time since I've had a fight......"

The two of them shook their heads, they were used to it.

As long as Victor is at home, Miss Leah will definitely quarrel with the other party.

Leah angrily pointed at Victor's nose and scolded angrily: "I've been waiting for you for so long, but the first thing you said when you came home was to ask me if I was hiding someone in the house?" ”

"How narrow-minded are you to think of such a thing!"

Victor stood in the doorway, his expression still poker, and he didn't respond back to Leah's angry scolding.

Leah scolded for a while, and after revealing the unhappiness in her heart, she touched her head and sighed.

I thought it would be okay even if I didn't explain, but the ghost made the god worse, so she still explained more.

"That's a subordinate of the territory, I just came to report something, and when you came back, they had already left."

Victor nodded.

"I see."

From the moment he entered the house, he smelled a fresh smell coming from the house.

It obviously won't be the smell of a man.

I wanted to finish the sentence "Are you Tibetan?" After that, he added two sentences, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding on Leah.

It's a pity that Liya scolded him too quickly, as if it was an instinctive reaction, and he didn't even react before he was scolded.

And then?

Then let Leah scold.

If the other party can scold him to dissipate his anger, Victor naturally doesn't mind being scolded a few times.

This is also the way the two of them talk, and he has long been used to it.

Victor sat back down at his desk and didn't ask Leah if she had any trouble lately.

He trusts Leah to take care of everything.

If there's a problem she can't solve, Leah will take the initiative to say it.

Sure enough, although Victor didn't ask, Leah herself was a little embarrassed to mention the store.

"The prop shop isn't ideal."

"The explosion as you thought didn't happen."

"Huh? What's going on. ”

Victor knocked on the table, which was somewhat unexpected.

He was interested in hearing from Leah why.

Leah reports on the prop shop's financial income.

"Except for a few sold on the first day, the next few days, it didn't attract any customers."

Victor was a little puzzled, and with his own marketing strategy, this would not theoretically happen.

Because there will always be people who know the goods to come and buy them.

Leah also said that the potion was sold on the first day.

The word of mouth of the person who uses the potion should have an explosive effect.

Having a problem with the player's potions?

It's almost impossible.

What are the business problems of the store?

It's impossible, if Lia can't even run such a shop, she can't develop her own territory so well.

So, there can only be an accident.

"So, what's going on?"

Leah began to explain:

"On the first day of the store, the duke's daughter bought some potions."

Hearing this, Victor's eyes twitched slightly.

"Erica Du Chloe?"

Leah glanced at Victor and sneered.

"Yo, what about your little lover?"

"I remember the name so clearly."

"It's not funny, so go on."

Victor took the initiative to stop Leah's taunts.

Leah folded her hands on her chest and pursed her lips.

"I thought that it wouldn't be long before the effects of the potion would soon be revealed with Erica's fame, and a large number of mages would naturally come here."

"But the very next day, something happened to Mount Vesuvius."

At this point, Leah noticed that Victor's hand tapping on the table paused.

There are some answers to some of the speculations in my mind.

Still, she patiently said for Victor.

"A large number of mages have gone to the volcano, and only some ordinary first-order mages can stay in the royal capital."

"Let's not talk about whether these people can afford it, even if they can, these things are too wasteful for them."

To put it simply, a first-order mage is not worthy of this thing.

"After a few more days, the mages all returned, and as a result, they began to unite again to impeach the Duke en masse."

"Even the emperor himself came forward and summoned the duke and those noble mages to prepare to make a final conclusion"

Speaking of this, Lia sighed helplessly.

The main target of the potion is the mage, and recently the royal capital is in chaos, and the mages are all busy, how can they have time to patronize the store?

Victor listened to all this with a blank face.

He had been fighting with Gulleton inside the volcano, so naturally he didn't know what had happened in recent days.

It's no wonder that when he appeared in the crater after the fight with Gulletun, he actually saw Erica at first sight.

He still thought that he was hallucinating, after all, after that, he had no follow-up memories.

When he woke up, it was Vega who told him why he was in a coma.

'Vega's ability should be used as little as possible in the future. ’

Victor thought to himself.

After this battle, he was in a coma for four days.

Counting the three days of the battle with Gulletun, it was exactly a week.

However, the battle with Gulleton affected the real volcano, which he didn't expect.

Although the volcano did not erupt, the impact of this incident spread to the royal capital.

At this time, Liya was still complaining on the side: "Others also said that Duke Rivi stopped the release of the magic array because of his daughter's disappearance. ”

"It's funny, not to mention whether war magic will tear his daughter apart, and if the volcano erupts, won't Erica, who is still on the mountain, also die?"

Victor didn't speak, but he agreed with Leah's statement.

At that time, Erica climbed the volcano, undoubtedly killing herself.

The difference is that under the magic of war, only Erica who appeared at the top of the mountain dies herself.

And when the volcano erupts, all the mages and the inhabitants of the mountain have to be buried for Erica.

He didn't believe the Duke didn't understand it.

Leah shrugged

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"The emperor's decree has been delivered to the doorstep, and on the day of the summons, you will also go to the palace."

"You're coming back just in time, and if you come back a day late, you're going to miss it."

"Why?"

Victor was a little curious, though he already had a guess in his mind.

"You want a reason? All right. ”

"Before the eruption, who was the only accompanying mage who disappeared without a trace?"

And so it was.

Victor's expression remained unchanged when he got the answer.

Seeing this, Leah didn't ask any more questions, she yawned and walked to the door.

"Looks like you've got a way, then I'll go to sleep."

"I'll keep the door closed, but don't sneak into my room in the middle of the night just because we haven't seen each other for too long."

With a bang, the door slammed shut.

Victor: "......."

Am I like the bad guy who likes to knock on girls' doors in the middle of the night?

Come to think of it, he'd actually done it.

Maybe Gwen said something to Leah.

Victor didn't pay much attention to it, he was more curious about why the Duke did that.

Suddenly, Vega's voice rang out coldly.

"If the volcano erupts, everyone there will die, including Duke Rivi himself."

"Only that little girl, only she can survive."

"But if the magic array falls, she will definitely die."

Victor squinted his eyes and asked lightly:

"If I fail, the volcano will erupt, and then Gulleton will also be released."

"Do you think that a little girl who was seriously injured in the second order would be able to survive the natural disaster caused by the Fire Calamity?"

Vega looked up and looked at Victor with a deep gaze:

"She can talk to Calamity."

Hearing Vega's remarks, Victor was slightly stunned, this time it was his turn to be confused.

Vega quickly caught Viktor's reaction, and it was delighted.

"It's the first time I've seen you so surprised."

Vega clearly knew something, as it was certain that Erica wouldn't die.

"Actually, I'm curious about what the duke gave birth to her."

"By the way, have you ever met the little girl's mother?"

Victor was even more silent.

Once in the game's plot, the Duke's daughter is also an amazing genius.

If nothing else, she would be nineteen years old – two years later.

After Victor's death, she will step into the ranks of third-order mages, breaking Victor's genius record and becoming the youngest third-order mage in the history of the empire.

Because of this, the imperial regime changed and the new emperor ascended the throne.

Because of her talent, Erica Du Chloe saved the Duke's family, who supported the Grand Prince.

For the time being, Victor can only think of these plots.

But hearing Vega say this, he really noticed it for the first time.

Such a well-known NPC has never seen her mother before.

There is not even a hint of the backstory.

Is it dead? Still is......

There was so little information that Victor could sort out, and he couldn't guess it.

Vega looked at him with some satisfaction, it turned out that there were things that Victor didn't know.

It opened its beak and chirped:

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Tomorrow's summons, not only the duke, but also you will have to go, so it's better to think about how to get through the difficult time."

"But no one can help you."

Victor looked out the window, the moonlight shining on his cold and handsome face, a little sad.

"It's normal to have a lot of help for the righteous and little help for the unjust."

"All in all, Duke Levi is remarkable when it comes to being a father."

That's right, he stopped the Great Array, preferring to let himself and the mages all be buried in the natural disaster, and even the innocent people could give up.

And let his daughter live.

In addition, the duke's actions are indeed infuriating.

"The emperor will not let the courtiers who have followed him for a long time feel cold, but he must also give everyone an explanation."

"The worst ending is nothing more than taking off the title and returning to the field."

"This is still the case when I don't show up."

Vega heard Victor's last words and said with interest, 'Oh? 'Sighed.

"You want to help him?"

"It's called sending charcoal in the snow."

Victor's eyes flashed with the cunning light of a businessman.
