Victor calmly read the bill and gently placed it on the table.
"Liya, what are the sources of income for the territory?"
Hearing Victor's question, Liya tilted her head and squinted at him.
As if she was looking at a fool, she laughed softly, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"As a lord, you don't even know the source of income for your territory?"
Although Victor really didn't know, it didn't stop Liya from laughing at him, a lord who was "unworthy of the name".
"Listen carefully, our Cravenna Territory relies on grain and ore trading as its main income!"
Victor understood the general idea from Liya's explanation.
Under the name of the Cravenna family, there is a territory named "Cravenna".
The land is fertile and surrounded by lush forests.
The territory is about 100 kilometers away from the capital, and it only takes one day to drive a carriage to reach it.
Because of this, the second most prosperous town in the empire is located here.
Cravenna Territory has a very fertile mineral vein, which is enough to be mined for more than 50 years even now.
The geographical location is close to the capital, the land is fertile, the grain harvest is abundant, and there are mines at home.
It is difficult for the Cravenner family to be without money.
"But the production of ore has decreased a lot recently, and it is not the grain harvest season yet. The grain we sold before was stored in the granary last year."
Leah faced Victor with an angry tone.
"We also need to ensure the consumption of our territory. It is impossible to sell all of it. The income of the territory is very low now. You dare to spend money like this at this critical moment!"
Victor nodded after hearing this, without any expression on his face, but he was very calm.
"Don't you have any thoughts of repentance?"
Leah looked at Victor in disbelief. She knew that her brother was a person who didn't care about things, but he didn't know anything.
Victor thought for a moment, touched his chin and responded to her:
"You go hire a few mages, then buy a store in the most prosperous place in the capital, and open a magic props store."
When Leah heard Victor's proposal, she immediately exploded and said sternly:
"Victor! Didn't you listen to a word of my advice!"
"Do you think this kind of store is rare in the capital!?"
"Even if you open a store, what can you do? Do you think your reputation can be greater than all the merchants?"
"Victor, do you know how to do business!"
Liya became more and more excited.
She thought of how she had learned to manage the territory since she was a child after her parents died, and maintained it for more than ten years. Until now, the territory still has enough space.
No matter how much Victor squandered the family, she never complained.
And now, this Victor who knows nothing is actually going to interfere in the family business!
What on earth is he going to do!
As she spoke, she felt more and more wronged.
Seeing that he couldn't calm Liya's emotions with words, Victor didn't want to say anything more. He just waved his hand, and dozens of bottles of blue magic potions appeared on the table in front of the two.
Liya was stunned, looking at the blue potion on the table, the emotions that were about to explode paused.
"What is this?"
She blinked.
Nowadays, no one has ever seen such a magic potion.
There are props that restore magic power, but these props have one thing in common.
Rare and very expensive.
And there are only potions for healing injuries on the market, and their effects are also very different from the [Life Potion] used by players.
One is a slow repair similar to drinking medicine, and the other is to restore health immediately after taking it.
This is the difference between reality and game props.
To put it bluntly, putting game items in reality is a pure bug.
Even a small bottle of instant recovery magic potion can become a god-level prop.
So Victor didn't explain, it was still too hard to believe when he said it.
Seeing is believing.
Victor said calmly.
"Go find a few wizards and have them cast spells until they are exhausted, then take a bottle, and you will know what to do."
Leah was very suspicious, but she still took all the potions.
"By the way, do you have any helpers?"
Hearing Victor's question, Leah smiled contemptuously: "Oh, our great lord has also learned to sympathize with his servants?"
Victor didn't care about the other party's sarcasm. To be honest, the discord between the siblings was also related to Victor's inaction.
So, he just repeated his question.
"Seriously, has your caravan ever hired helpers such as bodyguards?"
Leah snorted coldly.
"No, I don't trust others."
In other words, Leah has always been the only one doing business in Cravenna.
"Will there be any danger on the road? Although the territory is not far from the capital, it is still a whole day's journey."
Leah was surprised that her unreliable brother actually cared about her one day, but this kind of care made her a little uncomfortable.
She leaned against the table, stretched out a finger to wrap around the end of her hair, and turned her face away unnaturally.
"Well... no, we have our own trade route. If we encounter roadblocks or something, as long as we show our Clevenna family emblem, the other side will know what to do and leave. Generally, nothing will happen."
"At least I haven't encountered any danger from the past to now."
After saying that, she did not look at Victor, but took out a bottle of potion and looked at it carefully.
Victor nodded, and then took off the magician's hand on his right hand.
"Liya, listen carefully, this time going to the capital to open a store is unusual. This kind of precious thing is very easy to be coveted by others. Wearing it can face some emergencies."
Liya looked at the gloves handed over by Victor, put down the medicine bottle, and was a little entangled.
"Don't worry, this is just a small prop of the magician, it will automatically adapt to the size of your palm."
Liya thought that this was not what she cared about, but she couldn't explain it. She reached out and took the fingerless gloves, which still had the residual warmth of Victor's palm.
She touched the gem on the glove, and suddenly a wave of resentment rose in her heart.
As a businessman, she naturally knew what was on it.
Magic stone, a gem that can transmit magic, each piece is worth a million...
He actually installed six pieces on one glove!
She had some grumblings in her heart, but surprisingly she did not attack Victor.
Leah put on the gloves, and as Victor said, the gloves automatically adapted to her hand shape.
"Open your palm and point it at me, and use your mind to think about the gem on the glove, any one will do."
She listened to the instructions and opened her palm to Victor.
There was a green gem in the middle, and she thought the color of this gem was very beautiful.
'Is this all right? '
A question flashed through her mind, and suddenly, the green gem glowed slightly, and then...
Swoosh!
Like a ripple explosion, a magic circle quickly took shape in Leah's palm!
Almost instantly, a violent storm filled the entire study, and the paper was blown crackling.
The hurricane was growing above the magic circle!
Victor tapped the desk with his finger, and the teleportation array quickly took shape in the air.
After the hurricane swelled to a certain extent, it was sucked into the teleportation array.
Suddenly, the storm subsided.
A few seconds later, there was a shocking cracking sound nearby.
Leah was stunned.
"Just now... what was that just now?"
"Second-level magic: [Fierce Storm], powerful enough to flatten a mountain."
"Don't be so surprised."
Looking at the dazed Leah, Victor knocked on the desk, and the magic array in the air dissipated.
How could Leah not be surprised? She was not a magician, and had only seen others cast spells.
And the magic just now was released from her own hands.
She was now dizzy.
"So... this is what it feels like to cast magic."
She stood there blankly, even forgetting to take her hand back.
Victor refilled the magic in the gloves and continued to say to the shocked Leah: "Pay attention. This time I let you release it not only to let you master the trick, but more importantly, don't fire it. You have seen the power of this thing."
"Pay attention to the number of times you use it. A gem can only be used once."
"Come back to me after you use it up, and I will replenish it for you."
Liya knew how precious the thing Victor gave her was. It was priceless. At least she had never seen equipment that allowed ordinary people to use spells in her life.
Just when she was about to say that she would definitely make a lot of money if she sold it, she suddenly remembered Victor's solemn attitude and stopped talking.
This kind of thing can be used to save lives.
Liya hesitated for a moment, and said to Victor awkwardly: "Thank you."
Then she hurried away with the magic potion.
After the door of the study was closed, the crow on Victor's shoulder spoke:
"Don't you feel bad about giving this thing to others?"
"It's just a prop. I can make it anytime I want. Besides, I don't really need it."
The Mage's Hand is not often used, but it is very effective in PVP. As a prop for multiple instantaneous magic, it is used to seize the initiative or for emergency defense.
It is basically a prop that must be equipped by mage players in PK.
He doesn't need it very much for the time being.
After hearing Victor's words, Weijia didn't say anything more, and began to think carefully in his heart.
'I have to think of a way to trick him into making one for me to play with. '
...
Early the next morning, Victor finished his breakfast and was ready to get up and go to the academy. Just after he packed his clothes, he saw the servant walk in.
"Lord, there is a lady outside who claims to be your teaching assistant and said she is here to give you notes and speech manuscripts."
Victor paused while putting on his clothes.
Hennie is here?
He didn't seem to have told Heni to deliver the things to the door.
However, he still asked the servant to invite her in.
As a result, he saw two dark circles on Heni's haggard face.
"Why do you look like this? Didn't you get enough rest?"
Heni seemed to wake up and said to Victor;
"No, professor, I forgot to sleep last night, and then I wrote the manuscript all night."
This reason really made Victor feel powerless to complain.
"After Erica sent the notes, I still remember you said to send it to you, so I brought the speech manuscript with me."
Looking at Heni who was a little sleepy, Victor really couldn't say anything to scold her.
Should I say she is a little stupid?
He was silent for a while and asked.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Heni shook her head. She came early in the morning and didn't sleep, so naturally she didn't eat.
Victor waved his hand and asked the servant to take her to breakfast, and then arrange a room for her to have a good rest.
Hernie said "eh" in a panic, and just as she was about to say no, she heard Victor's tone that would not allow rejection.
"Fill your stomach and then rest."
Hernie wilted immediately. She did not dare to resist Victor. She lowered her head, like an eggplant hit by frost, and was taken away by the servant.
As for Victor, he wanted to go to the academy in the morning, but changed his mind when he saw Hernie coming.
The class was in the afternoon, so he planned to look at Erica's homework and his own speech, and spend the morning in the study.
Victor corrected Erica's homework and asked Vega without turning his head.
"What do you think of that child?"
Vega was stunned by his question. He knew that the person Victor mentioned was Hernie.
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you say that you wanted me to recruit believers for you?" Victor stretched his waist, tapped the speech on the table with his fingers, turned his head and looked at Vega, his squinting eyes revealed alertness and danger.
"This kind of naive person is the best for fooling."
