Chapter 30: You Say I'm Not Strong Enough?
Victor appeared in everyone's surprise, and the crimson trench coat made people feel more dangerous.
"Your Majesty, Victor Kravenna has arrived."
The eunuch reminded Emperor Oberly from the sidelines.
The surrounding mages looked at each other and asked each other:
"Victor Kravenna? Is that the head of the Clavenna family? β
"Didn't you say that Victor wanted to cause a volcanic eruption and die inside the volcano?"
"He didn't die, but came back?"
One of the mages suddenly turned to Victor and asked:
"Victor! You sinner! How dare you come to the palace to see Your Majesty! β
Victor heard the man's words, and his tone was cold.
"Crime? What crime have I committed? β
He looked back at the source of the sound.
The cold eyes pierced the mage's heart like an ice gun, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Soon, however, a fiery resentment spread throughout his body.
As if he were there, the next second, he fell to the bottom of Mount Vesuvius.
The intense heat made him gasp......
Is that magic?
There is such a horror that someone can practice the oppressive feeling of magic!
Suddenly, Victor withdrew his gaze and looked back at the king.
"Hah! Whew......"
The mage pinched his neck and breathed heavily, craving the gentle air frantically.
Revenge, that's revenge from Victor!
His heart was flustered, and he was sweating profusely.
But even so, he needs to stand up and question Victor here.
"You ...... The sinner who almost caused the volcanic eruption! β
"Even if you don't die, you're guilty of the great sin of absconding in fear of crime! How dare you come back! β
"Huh."
Victor smiled contemptuously and never looked at him again.
"I came by the emperor's will, and you asked me again and again why I dared to come back?"
"Do you mean...... You have more power than Your Majesty? β
The mage kept his mouth shut, there were some things that he needed to come out to make an introduction, but he didn't dare to respond to this matter.
But his goal has been achieved.
Some words, others will help him to say.
The other mages quickly picked up the conversation, and their words were full of hostility towards Victor.
"Your Majesty, the head of the Clavenna family is simply messing around!"
"He didn't mention his crimes at all, and he slandered his ministers and His Majesty!"
"I beg your majesty to convict!"
Emperor Oberly waved his hand, and the surrounding eunuchs immediately shouted.
"Silence!"
Above the hall, everyone obediently closed their mouths.
But they still stared at Victor with hatred in their eyes, eager to peel off his skin and drink his blood.
No way, because he's Victor Kravenna.
It's meant to be hated.
The second prince in the crowd shook his head.
It's a pity that Victor wasn't cornered.
But...... He didn't die in the volcano.
The second prince still remembered the descriptions among the many mages at that time.
The mouth of the volcano burst out with amazing energy, suppressing the trend of volcanic eruptions in an instant.
If, at that time, Victor was really inside the volcano, trying to make the volcano erupt.
Then under that energy, there is no possibility for him to live.
"Tsk, that's a pity."
The emperor stretched out his hand and hooked it towards Victor, and the eunuchs beside him immediately shouted from the top of the hall:
"Victor Kravenna! Come forward and be heard! β
Victor walked to His Majesty's nearest position and waited for questioning.
The Emperor opened his eyes and stared at Viktor and asked, "Did you trigger the eruption of Mount Vesuvius?" β
Hearing this question, everyone present couldn't help but straighten their necks, wondering what Victor's answer would be.
Or rather, what they would rather be - Victor's sophistry.
Gwen is equally curious, and she prefers that Victor will tell the truth.
Tell the truth that this matter has nothing to do with him.
Gwen was able to stand by the Emperor's side, not just as His Majesty's bodyguard.
Her role is crucial, and with a righteous heart, she can easily distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Therefore, when the Emperor questioned Victor, Gwen's gaze stayed on Victor.
The heart of justice has been activated.
"The volcano movement is indeed caused by me."
"Shhhh
Victor confessed.
Everyone gasped when they heard the truth, and Gwen's heart chuckled.
She couldn't believe it was true, but the heart of justice told her the truth.
"Victor, not lying."
Gwen opened her mouth and pronounced a verdict on Victor's authenticity.
And this sentence ignited the emotions of almost everyone present.
They were like a volcano that suddenly erupted in silence, pointing at Victor and starting to output frantically, scolding:
"Bastard! Do you know what you've done! β
"You murderer who almost killed everyone!"
"Volcanic eruption, a natural disaster of this level, do you know how much responsibility you have!?"
Gwen also had an unbearable emotion in her heart.
Victor became the murderer who led the volcanic eruption, and the most difficult person to accept was her.
Gwen couldn't be more guilty.
If a natural disaster strikes, then she is the biggest sinner.
She did not refuse Victor's entourage, and in the end, almost caused a disaster.
"But, the one who stopped the eruption was also me."
Suddenly, Gwen looked up, and a clear horror flashed in her eyes.
"Victor, didn't lie......"
Duke Levi, who had been kneeling on the ground with a blank face, suddenly raised his head.
When Victor caused everyone's anger, his next sentence suppressed everyone's mouths.
Accompanied by Gwen's judgment of the righteous heart, these words were like a thousand-year-old piece of ice that sealed a dead volcano, causing everyone present to fall into boundless silence again.
All the mages present clearly saw that scene.
At the moment when the volcano was about to erupt, that amazing white light rushed into the sky, ruthlessly suppressing the volcano.
That's not magic that humans can have.
And at this moment, Victor actually said that he prevented the eruption.
This kind of thing doesn't even dare to think like a volcano!
But, Gwen actually said, Victor, didn't lie?
Oberly looked at the reactions of the crowd, looked back at Victor, and asked.
"Victor, what is your reason for doing this?"
Victor knows that if he tells a lie, Gwen will see through it.
He didn't want to think too much, so he just told the truth about the volcano directly.
Sincerity is the greatest nirvana.
"Your Majesty, under the volcano, there is a terrifying demonic beast sealed with the name 'Guletun'."
"If you don't solve this demonic beast now, in a year and a half, the demonic beast will break through the seal and cause the volcano to completely erupt."
"By then, the scale of the natural disaster will be enough to engulf the heavens and the earth."
The Emperor narrowed his eyes, stared at Victor and asked:
"So, you dealt with that monster?"
Victor placed his hands on his chest and bowed slightly.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."
At this moment, even if Gwen did not come forward to confirm his authenticity.
The mages are all in a hurry.
"Your Majesty! Don't believe Victor's lies! He must have made up a lie to shirk responsibility! β
"It's pure rumor-mongering! How could there be a demonic beast pressed under the volcano! Even if there were, how could that powerful monster be something that Victor could deal with on his own? β
"We've all seen the magic of that time, and that kind of magical energy is simply not something that humans can have!"
"At least it's not something that a third-order mage of Victor's level can do!"
The surrounding mages once again took aim at Victor.
"In our opinion, Victor is lying!"
Only a handful of third-order mages did not speak, including Count Baker.
He looked down at the mages around him, who were also looking at Baker.
At the same time, they remembered the crazy old woman in Sanchel Town.
'The legend of the volcano god...... It's true. β
The king turned his head to look at Gwen, who nodded, indicating that Victor was not lying.
"Knight Gwyn, if I'm not mistaken, you have a marriage contract with Victor, right?"
The second prince said as he walked out of the crowd.
Gwen froze for a moment when she heard his question, then nodded.
"Even when I went to investigate the volcano, the accompanying mage that Miss Gwen applied for was Victor."
"And Victor has been missing for seven or eight days, don't you really know what he did?"
The second prince smiled, but his words were obviously heart-wrenching.
At this time, many mages reacted.
Not to be outdone, Gwen stared at the second prince toughly, and said, "Your Highness, are you questioning me?" β
The second prince smiled slightly when he heard this, nodded and said.
"Please understand that this is reasonable suspicion."
The Emperor spoke at this point and said, "Gwen's righteous heart can never go wrong. β
The second prince saluted the emperor:
"Father, allow me to say bluntly that the heart of justice is indeed able to distinguish the truth from the false in other words."
"But who can tell the truth from what Gwen said is false?"
The other mages' eyes lit up when they heard this.
"That's right! Gwen is Victor's fiancΓ©e! β
"I was almost deceived by this sinister couple!"
"What the second prince said makes sense, how can we distinguish the truth in Gwen's words?"
The mages were very happy, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the second prince to save the scene, they would have almost been overturned by Victor and the couple against the wind.
Sure enough, the second prince is extremely smart.
Gwen opened her mouth to explain, but in the face of the doubts of the mages around her, she couldn't say a word, and even her eyes turned red with anger.
As a knight, she can defend her family and country, and she can go into battle to kill the enemy.
But let her use her mouth, she can't compare to these articulate mages in her life.
"So, Your Highness, are you questioning my strength?"
At this point, Victor spoke.
He didn't look back at the second prince, and none of the mages behind him could see his expression at this time.
The second prince squinted his eyes and laughed, looking at ease.
"Your Excellency Victor, I want everyone here to know about your talent."
"But in order to hide your deeds, you have to make up a so-called Warcraft."
"Lord Victor, you're just a third-order mage."
"Boasting about Haikou like this, is there a lack of thought?"
These words of his are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
With so many third-order mages present, no one would believe that it was Victor who single-handedly stopped the eruption of the volcano.
They couldn't do it, and Victor, who was also a third-order mage, couldn't do it.
Because the pride of these mages does not allow Victor to be stronger than himself in the same class.
So they won't believe it.
But at this moment, Victor, who was standing in the same place, disappeared.
Everyone's eyes widened as they tried to find Victor's trace.
In its place, a flame rose into the air.
"Victor, where did you go?"
In an instant, countless exquisite magic circles were generated above the second prince's head, and they rotated endlessly.
The sheer number of them was so large that all the mages present couldn't see a single line clearly.
"This ..... What is the formation? β
"Why are the lines so messy..... Wrong! The texture is too complicated to understand at all! β
"What the hell is going on?"
The mages present were all shocked, and they had the heart to stop it and see through it, but the temperature in the room suddenly rose sharply.
At this moment, they couldn't even calm down to release their magic.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Quick...... Look! So, is that Victor!? β
A mage pointed to the sky in horror.
I saw that Victor's figure was bathed in flames, and a flame golem touching the roof gradually appeared in his form, burning like the sun, dazzling.
The intense heat caused the walls around the hall to start burning, and even the ground above the hall began to crack due to the heat.
His eyes stared coldly at the second prince, and the condescending coercion made the second prince dare not breathe.
"You say I'm not strong enough?"
Out of thin air, the clothes on the second prince's body ignited a flame.
The smoke gradually rose, but under the strong temperature, he didn't even feel himself burning between the flames.
Gwen stood in front of the king, blocking the blazing light from Viktor with her enchanted armor.
"Then we'll use our strength to speak."
Buzz - Buzz - Buzz -
Countless magic circles sounded a chaotic sound, overshadowing the doubts of everyone present, and gradually merging.
I don't know which mage suddenly looked at the sky in horror and shouted at the top of his voice:
"That's ...... Fourth-Order Magic! β
