"I did it."
Gwen looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person was Victor.
When Victor said that he did it, she believed it.
After all, Victor was still well-known as a third-level magician, and it was easy for him to deal with such bandits.
"What are you doing here?"
Gwen turned her head back. She was curious why Liya would call her over since Victor was here.
She put up a crystal with flowing colorful light and leaned against Liya.
The color on the crystal gradually disappeared, and Victor found that Liya also had one on her waist.
The two of them talked to each other through this magic crystal, which was similar to a two-line telephone.
Victor kept his stern poker face and explained slowly:
"My caravan is near the capital, so we came to pick them up and get rid of these bandits."
Hearing his explanation, Gwen did not doubt him and turned around to order the Knights:
"Look at the bodies, see if there are any faces you can recognize, do an identity check, and then report to me."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the Knights acted quickly.
"Liya, be careful, and contact me as soon as possible next time you are in danger."
After giving the order, Gwen led a group of knights to leave.
After she left, Liya was so angry that her face swelled into a bun.
It was obviously she who solved these bandits, and she thought she could pretend to be big in front of Gwen, but she didn't expect Victor to suddenly come and take away her credit.
"You know better than me that wealth should not be exposed."
Victor said this calmly, and Liya calmed down immediately.
The people in the caravan were all her own people, so it didn't matter if they saw her.
But once someone knew that her magic was released by a prop.
Then she would be in danger.
As a businessman, she never underestimated human greed.
"Well... I know."
Victor was very satisfied because he successfully educated Leah, and a sense of accomplishment as a brother arose spontaneously.
He walked in front of Leah and stretched out a finger.
The dull gem flashed a red light, and the magic was refilled by him.
After doing all this, he was ready to leave.
Leah asked him awkwardly:
"Why are you here? I don't believe what you just said to Gwen."
"I felt that you activated magic, so I came to see it out of curiosity."
Victor turned around and answered her lightly, without any light flashing in his eyes, still with that icy face.
Hearing Victor's words, Leah's mood was a little subtle and complicated.
She had never been cared for by Victor since she was a child.
But what happened today?
Has this man's brain been broken?
Suddenly, conscience awakened?
The three consecutive words of Leah in his mind were quickly explained.
Victor looked at her quietly and continued:
"The caravan attack may have something to do with my enemies, but I can't count them all, and I don't know who they are. You should pay more attention."
Liya finally found a chance to retort him, sneering and mocking.
"Heh, you still know that you are not popular."
She had some guesses about the origins of this group of bandits today, but she didn't tell Victor.
"Have you tried the effect of the potion?"
"All those mages have tried it, and those who have used it say it's good."
Victor suddenly said this, and Leah nodded, with unspeakable surprise in her tone.
The exhausted mages drank a bottle and instantly became lively.
Even if she is not a mage, she can understand how amazing this effect is.
"This time, the caravan is not only for ore trading. I have already found a shop in the capital."
"There are many adventurers, especially mages. This kind of thing will definitely be popular if it is sold in a busy street."
Victor listened to Leah's description and secretly admired Leah's execution ability.
He didn't show it, because Victor didn't know how to praise people.
"In the capital, if you have any difficulties, I may not be able to help you. Just contact Gwen more often."
Liya tilted her head and said a long "Oh~?".
Looking at Victor suspiciously:
"You don't know?"
Victor frowned and told Leah not to play dumb.
"Gwen will go on a mission in a few days. I'm afraid she won't be back for half a month."
"You are her fiancé, but you don't even know this. I think it's better for her to prepare to remarry earlier."
Liya mocked Victor while secretly looking at the expression on his face.
Victor naturally didn't know about this. He and Gwen had no connection to begin with. To be honest, he couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was.
"Where is she going?"
Liya's hope of seeing a change in Victor's expression was dashed. He asked a stranger where he was going just like that.
Liya was a little bored. She lowered her head and fiddled with the magician's hand for a while, and answered casually.
"She said she was going to Mount Vesuvius."
"Although it is a dead volcano, the locals said there were some strange sounds on the mountain, so the emperor sent her to investigate whether the volcano would erupt and make a response plan in advance."
Victor was slightly startled when he heard the name.
Memories emerged in his mind.
That place was really not a dead volcano.
There is a huge monster hidden behind the heavy magma under the crater. That is the neutral world boss that will appear in the first chapter of the game.
The strength should not be underestimated.
The world-class boss in the game, players on the entire server are eligible to challenge, the level is super high, and the blood volume is thicker than that of ordinary bosses.
After defeating it, a copy will be generated there for players to challenge repeatedly.
If Victor remembers correctly, the boss will wake up in a year and a half.
At that time, the players were generally not at a high level. The game had only been open for half a year, and everyone was only around level 20.
And this boss was an amazing level 50!
It was difficult for players to even break his defense.
He still remembered that when the boss woke up from the volcano, all the surrounding towns were burned to the ground.
The empire sent out the army knights to suppress it, but they were easily crushed by it.
At the critical moment, the empire could only seek help from adventurers like "players".
It took players three days of repeated deaths to finally wipe out the last trace of blood of this world-class boss.
Victor was also fortunate to participate in that battle at that time. He still remembered that during that period, he stayed up for three nights, and went online every day just to be able to grind off a little blood of the boss with other players.
Every time he recalled it, he would feel his blood boiling.
Hard work pays off, and generous rewards are given to every player who has contributed to this battle.
Even if he challenges the dungeon again with various professions in the future, he will never feel the immersive despair he encountered the first time.
However, Victor wanted to see what it looked like before it woke up.
Furnace Monster, that is the name given to it by the players.
As the name suggests, it is like a huge sky-burning furnace, which makes people terrified and lives are destroyed.
Its appearance even turns the earth into charcoal.
Victor decided to visit Gwen tonight and get her opinion.
It would be even better if he could take advantage of Gwen's mission.
Seeing that Victor stood there and began to be dazed after listening to her, she always felt that the other party was thinking about something bad.
So she waved her hand at him with some disgust.
"Are you idle? As a professor of the magic academy, you are still hanging out outside?"
"Since you have nothing to do, can you go home quickly?"
Victor looked down at her, nodded without refusing, and a magic circle was generated under his feet, and he disappeared in a flash.
After seeing Victor leave, Leah held her forehead and sighed:
"This guy..."
"He really left without any regrets."
But let him go, he left, and it would be easier for me to do my business.
She began to command her subordinates to count the goods.
The mages who were curled up in a ball were dumbfounded. They watched Victor teleport out one by one, and then teleported away one by one.
That, is the legendary head of the Cravenna family?
He can use teleportation magic at will, which is more powerful than his boss!
Not long after, the goods were counted, and nothing was lost, which made Leah relieved.
Liya called the subordinate behind her, motioned her to come closer, and then whispered in her ear.
"Go contact those people below and investigate the recent movements of the Du Croy family."
Her eyes suddenly became much colder.
"When has our Cravenna family's caravan been robbed by others?"
She had long suspected the Duke.
Because the only one who had recently made enemies with Victor was his little daughter.
As for the other enemies of Victor before? Those who should be buried should be buried, and those who should be exiled should be exiled.
If they really can't be dealt with, they won't touch their caravan without eyes.
Except for the Duke, she doesn't believe that others don't know the rules.
It has always been us who collect protection fees from others. Even if we go to the capital, we can't let these locals bully us!
....
Victor teleported back home and went into the bedroom to prepare another set of clothes.
He asked the servants to prepare the carriage and prepare to visit the Delin family mansion.
The servants received his order and quickly went to execute it.
At the same time, Gwen had just finished a day's work.
When she returned home, she took off her armor and cumbersome clothes as soon as possible.
The maid at home had prepared hot water for her. Gwen soaked in the bathtub, stretched her limbs comfortably, and enjoyed the rare rest time.
"Hmm~ha!"
A comfortable sound came out of her mouth. She closed her eyes and let the gentle water flow wrap her whole body.
At this time, the maid knocked on the door outside the bathroom.
"Miss, someone is visiting."
Gwen was soaking comfortably. When she heard the voice, she hummed and floated to the surface of the water lazily.
Her white back pressed against the edge of the bathtub, and water drops rolled down her skin, splashing ripples on the water surface.
"Ha... Who is here?"
She just yawned, and she heard the maid suddenly say outside the door.
"It's Mr. Victor."
"Plop!"
Gwen slipped and fell into the water.
