Chapter 44: Please Don’t Cuddle with Your Fiancée at This Time

Gwen stared at Victor, her eyes never leaving him.

She was in a state of panic. The failure of the Righteous Heart left her completely in the dark about whether Victor was telling the truth or not.

How could this matter have anything to do with demons?

Demon? What is a demon?

I dont know. What is it?

Many people present hadnt even heard of what a demon was. They were all clueless about everything that had just happened.

But everyone saw with their own eyes that Professor Devon was taken away.

Victor didnt have the time or patience to explain to these people. All he needed was to make them doubt whether Devon had any connection with those things they had just seen.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Do you know the location?

Victor communicated with Veega in his mind.

Not far, just on the hill behind the academy.

Veega patted his own chest and flew back onto Victors shoulder, replying with confidence.

Victor knew that if Hennie was really influenced by the demons temptation, she would never let Devon Raser go.

The demon would gradually amplify peoples negative emotions. Hennies hatred was the best feed for the demon.

In the end, no matter what method was used, Devon Raser would definitely be taken away.

All he needed to do was to slightly manipulate public opinion, and the blame for the demon would fall on Devon Raser.

Victor had marked Devon Raser with a magic imprint. Even if the other party left the Royal Capital, Veega could sense the location of the magic imprint through the link they had established.

Finding that guy would be a piece of cake.

Now, Victors mission was accomplished.

All he needed to do was wait.

Wait until the demon showed its fangs, then he would deal with it himself.

Suddenly, Victor suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He held his forehead and his body swayed significantly.

Because of the barriers influence, his figure was unsteady, as if he would fall down completely at any moment.

Victor

Seeing Victors swaying figure, Gwen instinctively wanted to raise her hand, to go forward and steady him. But the surrounding gaze made her hesitate and stop.

Just at this moment, a knight standing next to her also seemed a bit faint and unstable. He bumped into Gwens shoulder.

Caught off guard, she staggered and ended up in front of Victor.

As she raised her head, she was met with Victors dizzy gaze.

Now Gwen was flustered. She was standing in the square, not knowing whether to move or stay still.

But just seeing Victors weak appearance, she gathered her courage.

Its just helping him up, he saved me after all. Its nothing.

Having found a reason for herself, she stepped forward, her hands holding Victor.

Victor, are you okay?

Victor, supported by her, couldnt help but stiffen a bit, turning his head and looking at Gwen with a bit of surprise.

Whats going on?

He was pretending, wasnt he?

Despite the influence of the magic circle on him, a Fourth Order Mage like him wouldnt be in such a state.

But he had just fought with the demon for a while. To others, it would definitely appear that his physical strength had decreased.

Victor wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, he decided to go with the flow and collapsed into Gwens arms.

Meanwhile, he pretended to sound very weak.

Help me a bit

Dont get me wrong, this is not taking advantage.

Its just to clear his suspicion more thoroughly.

At first, Gwen was a bit hesitant to move in front of so many people, her face turned red in anxiety. But hearing Victors weak voice, her righteous and kind heart couldnt help but explode with sympathy.

Victor must be very tired

Despite being despised and slandered by everyone, he didnt make any explanation.

Even if it would lead to misunderstandings from everyone.

Some relatively clear-headed mages took the initiative to ask:

What exactly happened? What is this about the demon?

So, Professor Devon is the one with the problem!? How is that possible?

My brain is in total chaos, it feels like this barrier has affected my intelligence!

What are we eating for lunch?

At this point, Gwen finally realized what an absurd thing she had just said.

However, Victor, who was in her arms, moved slightly.

Gwen didnt have time to think too much. She looked at Victor in surprise as he supported himself on one hand to stand up, appearing to regain his vitality almost instantly.

ViVictor? Are you okay?

Thank you, Gwen.

He stood up and straightened his coat.

Everyone was once again stunned.

Wasnt he on the brink of death just a moment ago? How did he suddenly recover?

What kind of miracle potion did he drink? Thats insane!

Even if this was a performance, he should have played it up a bit more!

Suddenly, Victor named a few individuals.

Professor Nair, Professor Disong, Professor Gaia

Those called out were among the few third-level Mages in the academy.

These professors collectively looked at Victor.

Professor Victor, what is the matter?

Victor explained simply.

As you can see, the Academy has been sealed off by demon powers.

It wont be long before our strength is completely depleted. Then, each one of you will become a meal for the demons.

At these words, the mages shivered. The professors whose names were called quickly stood up.

If you dont want to sit around waiting to die, then help me break the seal.

Hearing Victors words, the professors looked at each other, somewhat helpless:

Professor Victor, our mana is constantly being drained, we cant recover.

We want to help, but were powerless.

As the words fell, Victor pulled out several bottles identical to the one he had just drunk from his coat, accurately tossing them to the mages.

They hurriedly caught them, before they could even see the color of the potion, Victor suddenly said:

Drink it.

They all thought of Victor who had previously drunk it, hesitated for a moment, and then all tilted their heads back and drank it.

Soon

Huh?

Uh?

What?

The reactions of the mages were similar. Without exception, they looked at their bodies, which were glowing with a faint blue light.

Their mana had recovered by about half in an instant.

This is a miracle potion!

They initially doubted whether Victor was putting on a show.

A show? No way!

He didnt need to put on a show, sincerity is the best killer move.

While the professors were still immersed in this wonderful feeling, Victors voice leisurely came.

One thousand Ducats a bottle.

The Knight Corps are all here watching, dont try to dodge the bill.

A group of mages were stunned on the spot.

How much? A thousand Ducats?

Hearing this, many students and some mages present showed difficult expressions.

But the professors who had drunk the potion almost unanimously said,

Thats too cheap!

Professor Victor! Sell me a few more bottles! No, ten bottles! Twenty bottles, please!

Professor Victor, you say, where are we going now? If you ask me to go east, I will definitely not go west! If you ask me to catch a dog today, I will not chase a chicken!

Ive always disliked that pig Devin! No more words, Professor! Today, regardless of whether its a demon or not, Im with you!

Seeing the professors getting excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, those who were sober on the scene were all puzzled.

Gwen was still kneeling on the ground, not reacting for a moment.

After a while, she tilted her head and blinked her eyes.

Huh?
