Erica started preparing everything early.

During these days, she had been learning about the northern frontier of the Empire.

There are two more powerful forces in the northern part of the empire, one is the Delin family, a family of knights who guard the northern part of the empire.

The other is a group of mages and magicians, known as the Pale Magi.

The Wizard Guild is located further north than the Delin family.

It already belongs to the Far North Ice Sheet, an extremely cold place.

The land is covered with snow all year round, and even in the depths of it is inhabited by a group of barbarian humans who are not afraid of the cold.

Those barbarians whose physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people are called 'evil beasts'.

The 'Evil Beasts' often invade the territory of the Empire, burning and looting the villages and towns on the fringes.

Therefore, the defense policy of the northern frontier of the empire was aimed at those barbarians.

And Erica is going to the Mage Alliance in the far north, near the Arctic Snow Field.

She would train there for two months.

"Are you ready, Erica?"

A father's voice sounded outside the door, and Erica hurriedly replied.

"Yes, father."

Erica had everything ready.

In her last illusion, she challenged Victor.

Victor's devastating magic power did not plunge Erica into long-term dullness and despair, but instead made her more competitive and yearning.

She longed even more to become a powerful mage like Professor Victor.

"I'm ready to go."

……

Erica wore a cloak, rode on a horse, and carried a heavy bag as she followed the mage.

The orderly army of magicians rode around Erica and slowly headed north.

Dozens of magicians all have good strength, and Erica only needs to follow those experienced magicians to reach the pale magician.

Even if the team takes a shortcut, it still needs to trek nearly 1,000 kilometers.

So they have to hurry.

And the rough terrain of the short road could not allow Erica to sit comfortably in the carriage as a young lady.

So, Erica learned to ride a horse.

It's actually quite simple, for a genius like her.

Duke Levi did not come to see Erica off, and this departure, on the way, was also a challenge for Erica.

Although with the protection of the Magus Legion, Erica is unlikely to have an accident, but how to deal with the harsh environment requires Erica to solve it herself.

The team slowly left the royal capital, and when they walked a hundred meters, Erica stopped the horse's hooves, and the team just glanced at Erica and continued to walk forward.

If the eldest lady regrets it, they won't indulge it.

Erica rode on horseback, reluctantly looking at the familiar royal capital, with a trace of perseverance and determination flowing in her eyes.

'I sure, I'm going to get stronger.' ’

She turned, put on her hood, and caught up with the group again.

Click, click, click....

The sound of horses' hooves grew farther and softer, until they completely disappeared into the dense forest in the distance, and could no longer be heard.

Duke Levi looked at the hillside in the distance, and behind him stood a group of his own guards.

He watched Erica leave, and there was no reluctance in his eyes.

"My child, she's grown up."

He has always understood what his children need.

With this talent beyond ordinary people, what she wants has always been more recognition.

So, she always tries to do things that don't work out at this stage.

She wants to be recognized by everyone.

But that's not too ambitious.

"You will get your own opportunities, you will get that great power."

"For you, my child. I shouldn't keep a low profile. ”

Duke Levi held out a hand, and a blue spell swirled between his wrists.

A stream of air gradually appeared in the palm of his hand, and the cloak behind him whirred in the breeze.

The formation of the fourth-order magic was formed in an instant, and the subordinate mages present could see it at a glance.

Duke of Levi at this time.

also gradually revealed his former edge.

.......

Victor was ready to go north, but the plan was to be put on hold for the time being.

Because Gwen didn't want to go back.

For some reason, Leah couldn't say why Gwen didn't want to go home.

Victor knew that if Gwen didn't go back, then there was no point in him going to the Delin family on his own.

"Why, aren't you going?"

Vega looked up at Victor.

"Nope. Still going to go. ”

Victor said expressionlessly.

Vega was puzzled, because according to Victor, it was only because of Gwen that he would agree to the invitation of the House of Delin.

But now it seems that Victor has other ideas?

It's natural, Victor explained lightly:

"The Far North, where the barbarians live."

"But if you go deep into the far north, to reach the northernmost border, there is the place I told you about."

Vega reacted suddenly.

Temple of Inheritance.

"Roar, that's interesting."

"Where are you going?"

Victor didn't speak, but his attitude said it all.

Vega pecked at the feather and came up with an idea.

"Then build a huge teleportation circle just like before, why don't you just go there?"

"Anyway, you know everywhere, go in the past and come back, oh, it's a quick trip."

Victor shook his head.

"I can't do it."

"The Inheritance Temple is a place protected by the gods, and those who are not qualified cannot face the temple directly."

"Teleportation magic can't get there."

Vega narrowed her eyes.

"So how do you know if you're going to be eligible?"

"It doesn't matter."

Victor said calmly, as if his eyes had penetrated the space and saw the hidden Inheritance Temple.

"If I don't have the qualifications, then force it to think that I am qualified."

"I like what you say."

Vega grinned and continued:

"But I hope you didn't choose to run away because it was the first time you were confessed by a little girl, and you didn't know how to react."

Victor closed his eyes.

"Vega."

"What?"

"If you still want to cherish your feathers, I suggest you keep your mouth shut."

"Cut."

……

Three days later, early in the morning, Victor walked out of the mansion.

Leah followed behind him and asked with some concern:

"You're just leaving? Don't you need to bring anything else? ”

Victor looked at Leah and asked rhetorically.

"What? Do you care about me? ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm afraid that my family's mage will die outside, and it will be troublesome to collect the corpse at that time."

Leah pouted, turned her head and said.

Victor nodded and chuckled softly.

"On this trip, I will be back in about half a month."

"I'll let Hernie and Corcot carry more of the mansion here in the royal capital, so you don't have to worry too much."

Leah waved her hand and hurriedly interrupted Victor.

"I don't need you to say that I know, okay, okay, let's go quickly."

"It's just that I'm going back to the territory these days, and I don't have much time."

Victor nodded.

"If there's something, then."

He held out a hand and tapped it lightly on Leah's glove.

The gem of the mage's hand lit up slightly, and the stored magic seemed to be a little stronger.

It was updated by Victor and replaced with a more powerful third-order magic.

"Remember to use it."

"Then, I'll be back."

Leah withdrew her hand and looked at the gems on her gloves that seemed to shine brighter.

“……”

It felt like her nose was slightly sour, she shouldn't have this kind of emotion.

Obviously, Victor was only away for a few days.

So, she stubbornly turned her head away and stopped looking at Victor.

"It's going to be fine."

"Don't worry."

But there was no Victor to answer her voice.

When she turned her head and looked ahead, she looked at where Victor had just stood.

He had disappeared and left, and there seemed to be a faint amount of magic in the air.

Leah stood there for a long time.

It's as if Victor has left.

He turned around and walked back towards the house.

……

In front of the crowded magical train platform, Victor waited quietly.

It's very crowded, I don't know if it's because the platform is too narrow or because there is too much traffic.

Magic Trains, huge vehicles powered by magic, are used to travel to other regional cities of the Empire, or even to leave the Empire.

This behemoth is a magic item made by the mages of Endymion far above the sky.

It was the idea of a dwarven councillor, and when it was feasible and put into practice, it took decades to pave the way around the world.

Finally, it has become the most convenient means of transportation between empires.

But after all, this kind of thing can be afforded by people is still a minority, except for long journeys, most people will still choose horse-drawn carriages as transportation.

Of course, in the game, the magic train is a station for the player to travel to other cities.

This is a reasonable setting in the game, otherwise, the continent is so large, and players are still too reluctant to use the teleportation circle to get to where they want to go.

The Magic Train is a good choice.

Soon, a train slowly slowing down towards the platform appeared in the distance.

The magic of the Burning Magic Guide Stone was used as a power source, and a trembling sound came from the track.

Phew——!

The train belched a thick puff of white smoke overhead, and slowly stopped in front of Victor.

The train is pitch black, with countless iron wheels hidden under the huge section carriages, huge chimneys standing in front of the train, and red doors dividing the train into sections.

People who see this giant beast for the first time will inevitably think that it is a giant python that can devour heaven and earth.

The ticket booked by Victor was the first-class car of this express train.

He was just about to step into the car when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Eh, Victor!"

Looking back, it was a familiar purple-haired woman.

The other party is Gwen's eldest sister, Kevlar.

Victor naturally remembered her.

Victor stood still and watched Kevlar greet him as he trotted over and said with a smile:

"Are you going to my house?"

"It just so happens that I have to go back too, and this is the same train."

She shook the ticket in her hand, and it read-

'Limited Express Train, First Class'

It was a ticket in the same carriage as Victor.

"Looks like we'll have to go back together."
