Chapter 27: You're Hiding Someone?

Chapter 27: You're Hiding Someone?

The burly man who was held up still didnt understand the situation when in almost the next second, he was instantly thrown by the huge hand.

Bang!

The sound of landing suddenly rang out, making everyone present shudder in their hearts.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Before they could say anything, Victor slightly lifted his head, his cold eyes seemed to pierce their hearts like steel needles.

Get lost.

As soon as the words fell, the little brothers panicked and ran away completely.

From beginning to end, they didnt even dare to fight back.

After they all escaped, Victor retracted the lava giant hand.

This amazing arm seemed to melt into Victors coat, completely blending in.

After doing this, he turned around and glanced at the trembling manager, saying coldly,

Im here to pick up the horse.

He immediately understood Victors intention, shakily stood up straight from the counter, and sized up the man in front of him.

Youhow do you prove this is your horse? Proveprove your identity!

Victor looked at him appreciatively, seeming to approve of the others courage, and said lightly,

Victor Clayvinna.

The person who left this horse should have left this name.

Upon hearing this, the manager carefully checked the register and quickly nodded, Nono problem. You can take it away.

Then he took out a money pouch from under the counter and handed it to Victor.

The knight deposited 5,000 ducats here. This is the remaining portion after deducting boarding fees. Take it.

Victor didnt stand on ceremony either. He took the money pouch, weighed it, and directly put it away.

5,000 ducats

It could only be said that Gwen had no sense when it came to money.

Spending so much to board a horse was enough to feed this horse for half a lifetime.

Victor went into the stable, stroked the sturdy white horse.

It looks like youve been treated well these past few days.

The white horse stretched out its head and rubbed Victors hand affectionately.

He stroked the horses sleek coat for a while before leading it out and skillfully mounting it.

Veega lowered her head and said to Victor on his shoulder,

With your current strength, it would only take a few teleportation circles to get back to the capital. Why insist on riding a horse?

Veega wasnt exaggerating. Victor could now teleport freely within a hundred kilometers using teleportation magic.

Because he had already entered the ranks of Saint Magus.

Twenty-nine, fourth order.

Had anyone in the history of the Empire ever achieved this?

Hearing Veegas inquiry, Victor chuckled lightly.

This horse isnt mine.

I borrowed it, so I have to return it.

After the last battle with Calamity of Fire, Victor gained an enormous amount of experience points.

Although his previous experience was basically enough for him to become a fourth order mage.

But Victor had always controlled his experience level, not rashly advancing.

Until he fought with Guldon, the experience gained was too much, causing the players own experience bar to burst.

Victor ClayvinnaLv41

HP: 2000/2000

MP: 14800/15000

He continuously leveled up twice, with his max MP increasing by 10,000 compared to before.

This seemingly very powerful attribute did not make Victor arrogant.

Level 40 was just the beginning.

His current strength was still inferior to the original Victor, the boss in the second chapter of the game.

But at the very least, he no longer needed to worry about being controlled by others in the capital on the surface.

Not to mention his gains were not just leveling up.

A red stripe flashed across Victors coat.

After hearing Leons report, Lia smiled lightly, with a hint of disdain at the corners of her mouth.

The moonlight on her face made her look especially cold.

Duke Rivierre is already in dire straits himself, whether he did that thing or not no longer matters.

Leon was puzzled to hear this and asked, What? What happened?

Lia stroked the ebony desk and said slowly,

Some time ago the mages who went to Mount Vesuvius collectively petitioned the Emperor to impeach Duke Rivierre.

The reason being, the Duke wanted to kill all the mages present.

Upon hearing her explanation, Leon couldnt understand it.

How could Duke Rivierre do something so reckless that would damage the royal reputation?

But thats what he did.

Duke Rivierre has admitted that as the leader of war magic, he stopped maintaining the magic array.

If the volcano had fully erupted then, all the mages present would have died.

Leon was a little confused: But didnt the volcano not erupt in the end? Why did they still impeach the Duke?

Lia could only smile and shake her head helplessly when she heard this, saying, You really dont understand the human world.

In the eyes of these noble mages, of course life is only secure when in their own hands.

And Duke Rivierre, whom they trusted the most, betrayed them at the most critical moment. Regardless of whether the volcano erupted or not, Duke Rivierres failure to continue maintaining the array was already a grave sin.

They just got lucky this time that the volcano seemed to be stopped by some special power. But what if the volcano had really erupted?

A hint of brilliance flashed in Lias eyes.

At that time, the dead would not only be the mages, but also the tens of thousands of innocent people living below the mountain.

Leon suddenly understood, but Lia still had the leisure to joke at this time.

Its just a pity that these mages were busy impeaching the Duke, and not one came to me to buy potions.

I was hoping to earn a good sum before Victor came back.

Leon noticed Lias lowered eyelids, it seemed she really felt regretful about it.

Leon opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but stopped herself.

So Lia reached out and knocked on her head, smiling and said:

You wanted to say, dont let me wait any longer right? That Victor definitely wont come back?

Leon didnt say anything, but her eyes had already betrayed her thoughts.

There is a saying that circulates among humans, good people die young, evil lingers for a thousand years.

Someone like Victor is the latter. Unless someone brings his corpse right in front of me, I will never believe he is dead.

Never.

Leon still wanted to say something to persuade Lia, when suddenly, she sensed a strong yet familiar aura appearing at the door.

Her ears twitched, and Lia noticed itit was the signal that an elf sensed someone approaching.

Its Victors aura! Hes back!

See?

Lia smiled radiantly.

I said he wouldnt die.

Leon lowered her head, putting her hood back on. She nodded at Lia.

Concealing her figure, she maintained an aura that would absolutely not be noticed and leapt straight out the window.

At this moment, the servants surprised voice sounded from outside the door.

Master, youyoure back?

Mm, take this horse down and feed it well.

Yes! Ill go do it right away!

Along with the sound of footsteps getting closer and then suddenly stopping, the study door was pushed open.

Lia leaned against the desk, looking at Victor with a smile.

Welcome home.

Victor expressionlessly nodded, just walked into the study, looked left and right.

Finally, his gaze fixed on Lia.

Youre hiding someone?

Lias smile froze, then gradually collapsed.
