When Viktor's words fell, both Vladimir and Levy looked stunned.

They looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

It's not unusual to see mutes, but humans who have come back from the dead?

That sounds a little too bizarre.

At this time, they focused their eyes on Victor almost at the same time, and there was confusion and a vague understanding in their eyes.

Aren't the people who can come back from the dead standing right in front of their eyes?

It's just that Victor does not fit the characteristics of a "dumb man who can't speak".

Although he has fewer words, he is not dumb when he can speak.

Victor's condition is clear.

If Livi and Vladimir had really met such a special person, they would have been impressed.

In desperation, Vladimir could only shake his head and deny it.

"I haven't seen it, how can this kind of person you said exist?"

"Yes."

Victor lowered his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, immersed in thought.

He was thinking about the players who should have been in this game world ten years ago.

In fact, Victor was curious about how those players would enter this game world.

As a former player, he has a deep impression of the NPCs in this world.

They are mostly reticent and only interact with the player when performing a specific task.

Unless there is a special mission on these NPCs.

And in the eyes of NPCs, no matter how many players appear in front of them, there is only 'one person' in their eyes.

Even if you are a party to participate in a dungeon, the NPC will only assume that the other players are the companions brought by the player in front of you.

In terms of gameplay, this is to ensure that every player can play their own independent game story normally.

The world of this game should always revolve around the player.

After all, the player is the protagonist.

However, when Victor transforms into an NPC and becomes the boss of the subsequent story, he realizes that this world is unusual.

Each character here has their own life and emotions, not just virtual characters acting according to a preset script.

The inhabitants of the royal capital will not be able to live at a standstill because of Victor's departure.

They will also work normally, show joy and sorrow, and even panic because of the chaos that Victor has brought to the table.

So, in this world, if it's as Victor has seen before.

An NPC hosts millions of players at the same time, mechanically repeating the same dialogue.

This seems unlikely.

Nor can they always be fixed in a certain location, waiting for the player to progress through the mission.

More crucially, novice players and veteran players can't be in the same story timeline at the same time.

The story of the veteran player may have progressed ten years later, while the novice player is still stuck ten years ago.

This error in time is not fixed and, so to speak, borders on chaos.

However, new and old players will be able to meet each other at the same coordinates on the map.

Even veteran players can take newbies through the dungeons they've already completed.

This kind of scenario, although strange, is made possible in the game.

But now, Victor is in a real world.

And this also made Victor start to doubt,

Players, what do you rely on to exist?

Now that he has become an NPC, in what way should the players appear in his eyes?

Could it be that this is also the secret he needs to explore ten years later?

Victor took a deep breath.

By now, the player's clues have been cut off.

Because in the past ten years, the player who should have appeared has never appeared in the sighting records of Vladimir and others.

Victor's eyes narrowed, thinking about the people who had been freed by Hermes to try to take over the Empire.

The millions of red souls he sent to hell in the end.

Their souls are immortal and incapable of normal human communication.

Victor thought they were similar to those players.

Now it seems that Hermes is the only god left on earth for a reason.

For millennia, he secretly amassed wealth and influence on earth, trying to enter the empire by various means in order to carry out his crazy plans.

Use the empire as a gathering place for the initial player.

Guide them, and use the fermentation of time to make the group of power-hungry "players" believe in the gods.

In this way, the gods with a lot of faith power can return to the human world.

Although this plan takes a lot of time.

But for the immortal gods, time is not an issue.

However, their plans were thwarted by Victor's intervention, and Hermes was forced to release the million souls in the royal capital ahead of schedule.

Eventually, Hermes was defeated, and the souls were captured by Victor.

First of all, he was wiped out of his body by the rules and went to hell.

The souls of the dead also sank into the underworld under Victor's guidance.

Now, though, Victor was curious.

If the storyline is still relevant ten years later, the return of the gods is an inevitable result.

But with no players and no faith, how will they achieve their goal of returning to the human world?

Seeing Viktor immersed in deep thought, Vladimir on the side couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt.

"Why are you asking this? Could it be that you are looking for someone? ”

Victor didn't give an immediate answer to his question, just shook his head slightly.

"No, forget it if you don't find it."

He said as he slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over him and Levi.

After a brief moment of thought, his gaze finally fell on Rivi, who seemed to have made some kind of decision.

"In that case, I will put forward a new condition."

"Lord Duke, before I help you, I want you to tell me something."

Under Victor's gaze, Levi felt an inexplicable uneasiness and nervously waited for Victor's next sentence.

"Where the hell is Erica now?"

As soon as these words came out, Levi's eyes widened and he sat down in his chair in surprise.

Vladimir on the side glanced at Levi with a strange look.

Look, your daughter is still being remembered.

Levi felt a buzzing in his head, and his mind began to think quickly.

Ten years have passed, and Victor still remembers his daughter!

Levi felt a surge of rage rush up, and his hand on the table clenched into a fist involuntarily.

Unfortunately, despite his anger, he had nowhere to vent.

After all, it was he who turned to people first.

I wouldn't have looked for Victor if I had known......

He regretted that he had not taken the lead to reveal Victor's identity and let Her Majesty take care of it herself.

But for the sake of the Empire, Levi could only swallow this breath.

Victor is known to be a magical blaster.

No one dared to guarantee that once he was provoked, the royal capital would be destroyed in the next second.

After all, ten years ago, he had already proven that he could easily destroy the entire royal capital, and ten years later, he would only be even stronger.

After some deliberation, Levi seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly let go of his clenched fist.

Forget it, I'll bear it!

But out of concern for his daughter, he couldn't help but ask:

"You're looking for Erica...... Do what? ”

If Victor's answer is something like "pursue your daughter", Levi is ready to flip the table on the spot.

Even if he can't beat Victor.

Fortunately, Victor did not answer like this, he just calmly said:

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to get my pet back."

"Pets?"

Several people present were slightly stunned when they heard this, especially Vladimir and Hera.

Only then did they realize that something seemed to be missing from Victor's shoulders.

The black, one-eyed crow.

"My crow likes her, so when we were going to come back ten years ago, I asked Erica to keep the crow for me."

Ten years ago, come back.

This phrase aroused their curiosity.

So, Victor was planning to come back ten years ago?

So what happened during that time that led to his return now?

They were eager to inquire further, but Victor continued:

"So, all you have to do is tell me where Erica is."

Victor and his pet raven, Vega, had a contract, so they were able to sense each other's locations in both directions.

However, when Victor senses Vega, he finds that it is unusually far away from him.

It's on the other side of the world, and it seems to be in another space.

As a result, Victor is now unable to determine the exact location of Vega.

However, he thinks Vega should have known that he was back.

But for some reason, it did not actively look for him.

Victor speculates that Vega may be with Erica now.

Perhaps they are in some kind of dangerous trial from which they will not be able to escape.

It's just that at this time, Levi seemed a little hesitant.

His gaze scanned back and forth over the table, as if he was struggling with whether to tell Victor the truth.

Victor noticed his hesitation, sighed lightly, and said lightly:

"Don't worry, Lord Duke, I know more than you think."

"But if you don't cooperate, I'm afraid it's hard for me to continue to help you."

After saying that, he carefully observed Duke Rivi's reaction.

After some inner struggle, Levi seemed to have made a compromise and finally spoke

"My daughter...... Now, she is receiving the legacy. ”
