Duke Levi appeared behind Erica, his hands on her shoulders, his face extremely grim.
Erica was a little scared when she saw her father suddenly appear behind her.
I thought my plan to sneak away was discovered.
Her eyes were wandering as she was thinking about a countermeasure, but she heard Duke Levi ask.
"Can you explain to me why you were able to stay in the magic circle for so long?"
Erica heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Duke Levi's question.
The nervous smile also became relaxed.
"So that's what it is."
Erica walked around behind the Duke and said mysteriously, "That's because I have a baby!"
"baby?"
Duke Levi was a little confused as to what kind of treasure had such an amazing effect that made Erica's mental power so powerful.
Erica proudly told her father:
"It's Professor Victor's stuff."
"What? Victor's?"
Hearing this name, Duke Levi was really stunned.
Of course he knew that Victor was a genius, having become a professor at such a young age.
Victor, have you actually created a tool that can increase mental power?
No, that's not the point!
The point is why Victor's props appeared in Erica's hands?
Victor gave this to Erica? Was it to please her?
Duke Levi was immediately furious, and felt a fire rising in his heart.
"Damn it Victor, you are still thinking about Erica!"
He wished he could twist that bastard Victor's head off right now!
If anyone dares to think about his precious daughter, he must know the price!
Looking back, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Didn't Erica hate Victor very much?
Why is he still so proud when talking about Victor?!
Duke Levi now felt something was wrong. Victor was kidnapping his daughter.
Seeing Duke Levi like this, Erica took out a small blue potion from her bag.
"What's this?"
Duke Levi asked curiously when he saw the potion she took out.
This was also the first time he had seen a blue potion.
"I bought this at Professor Victor's prop shop. One bottle is only one thousand Geo!"
Duke Levi: "…."
Misunderstanding resolved.
He also thought that Victor abducted Erica when they were in college.
Now it seems that it is not what I imagined.
He looked at the bottle of medicine in Erica's hand and suddenly froze.
"etc!"
"Erica, how much do you think this thing is?"
Duke Levi wondered if there was something wrong with his ears. One thousand geoms, he must have heard it wrong.
Erica puffed out her chest and repeated it proudly: "One thousand geos!"
Duke Levi: "…."
When did he raise such a spendthrift daughter?
Forget it, forget it, this is my daughter, my own daughter, my own daughter.
Duke Levi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and forced a smile. He said to Erica with a fake smile:
"I don't think your father ever taught you to spend money recklessly."
When Erica heard her father say this, she immediately retorted:
"I didn't spend money recklessly!"
"Your current mental strength is no longer enough to continue supporting the magic circle, right?"
Duke Levi nodded.
Just as Erica said, although there were countless second-level wizards providing magic power, most of her mental power had been consumed and she could only come down to rest.
This is something that no mages can do anything about.
Even if one has powerful magic, but lacks mental strength, the magic power cannot be mobilized, the formation cannot be arranged, the runes cannot be carved, and the magic cannot be released.
If someone could cast magic continuously for three days and three nights without falling to the ground due to exhaustion.
Don't say anything, just start a big fight.
There is no such far-fetched boasting as this.
Although he said that, Levi still remembered Erica's heroic figure who had been channeling magic power into the magic circle for five consecutive hours.
Could it be that it has something to do with this thing?
"Try this."
Erica opened the lid of the potion and handed it to her father.
Duke Levi frowned as he looked at the small bottle of blue potion, feeling a little resistant. It didn't look like a good thing.
"This...liquid...looks like industrial wastewater filled with pigment."
Can this thing taste good?
"Please drink it quickly!"
Erica hurried in front of him.
Hearing his daughter's urging, Duke Levi suppressed his resistance and drank it.
Swish!
A faint fluorescent blue light appeared on his body.
Almost in an instant, the mental strength in the body was restored by a small half.
That was enough to support him to continue casting spells.
He felt his tired spirit instantly relaxed a lot.
Duke Levi rubbed his forehead, and the fatigue he had just felt almost completely disappeared.
As a high-level mage who has been immersed in the third level for more than thirty years, he naturally knows how amazing the effect of this thing is.
While no one was around, he decisively put away the empty bottle, bent down to protect Erica, and whispered in her ear:
"Don't let this get out. At least, not now!"
"Tell Dad, how many bottles do you have left?"
Erica started counting on her fingers.
She bought ten bottles in total. She wasted one bottle at home to test the effect. She continued to release magic on the magic circle, which consumed four bottles. Her father drank one bottle to restore his mental strength. So, there was still...
"Four bottles."
Duke Levi grabbed Erica's shoulders, lowered his head, and spoke seriously.
"You must keep this matter secret until you return to the capital."
"If we spread this thing out now, I'm afraid it will be coveted by people with bad intentions."
"You can't control this thing, give it to Dad, Dad can control it!"
Erica heard her father say this and shook her head:
"No, I spent a lot of my pocket money to buy this."
"Your pocket money will be doubled when you get home!"
"make a deal."
Erica thought:
"Anyway, this is what Professor Victor made. When you see him at the academy, just ask him to make some more."
"Professor Victor will probably agree to my request...right?"
Erica felt that she had made a lot of money from her father and was in a very good mood, so she happily gave three bottles to Duke Levi.
If her father hadn't told her to keep a bottle with her just in case, she would have given it all away.
Duke Levi held the potion and left carefully.
Seeing her father's funny look, Erica couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Duke Levi quickly returned to the mountainside and stood on the formation again to continue releasing magic power to construct the formation.
Several third-level mages who were still resting saw Duke Levi going up the mountain again.
I couldn't help but ask:
"Your Excellency, don't you need to rest?"
Duke Levi turned his head and looked at them, showing a kind smile: "Well, my mental strength is still sufficient, you can rest first, I can maintain the formation myself."
???
Coming again?
Several third-level mages who had exhausted their mana suddenly stood there in a daze.
Just now it was your daughter who stood there for five hours without moving, and now it's your turn and you can't get down?
You Du Croys are all perverts, right?
Erica was extremely happy at this moment. If it wasn't for the purpose of getting the Duke away, she would not have given the potion away even if her pocket money increased tenfold.
She wanted to get to the top of the mountain, but now she could only start with Gwen.
So Erica returned to Gwen and said to her in a coy manner: "Sister, I can't bear it anymore!"
"We are both girls, so I'm sure my sister will understand me."
Erica looked at Gwen with tears in her eyes, begging.
Gwen thought about it for a moment, and suddenly, her face turned slightly red.
She seemed to know what Erica was talking about.
But, did her day happen to be today?
This matter concerns a girl's dignity. After thinking about it, Gwen had no choice but to agree to Erica.
Erica's reasons made it hard for her to refuse.
Erica was so happy at first that she almost jumped up, but when she thought about what she just said, she could only act like she was still in pain.
Then I heard Gwen say, "For your safety, I will go with you."
Erica suddenly wilted.
With such a powerful Knight Commander following her, her chances of escaping under his nose were slim.
But Erica hasn't given up yet. As long as she finds an opportunity, she can still get out!
Soon, the two came to an uninhabited area.
The surface of the volcano is flat and it is difficult to find any shelter.
I finally found a stone, but it could only barely cover it.
Erica's eyes rolled around and she blushed as she asked Gwen to move away from her. She was a little shy.
Gwen was puzzled for a moment, then continued, "We are all girls, what is there to be shy about?"
But she still took a few steps back.
Erica squatted behind the rock and was about to take off her pants when she raised her head and met Gwen's eyes.
She was a little ashamed and angry, and said to Gwen from a distance: "Turn away and don't look at me, okay!"
Gwen: "…."
She took a few steps back in silence and turned her head away.
Don't watch it, it's all the same anyway.
In the moment when he turned his head, a blue light shone on the volcano. Gwen just saw the faint edge of the blue light and turned his head instantly.
The teleportation array has been generated, Erica stepped into it, and waved at Gwen with a smile on her face.
"Please tell my father that I will come back safely."
Gwen rushed forward and reached out to stop him, but the distance was too far and it was too late.
Swish!
Erica disappeared in an instant.
Gwen's pounce was in vain. He lowered his head, looked at the ground, and muttered:
"Teleportation... magic?"
Where can she go?
Gwen thought about Erica's initial inquiry.
"Who is that mage?"
Victor Cravener.
The name suddenly flashed through her mind and her eyes quickly shot towards the top of the mountain.
The next second, a hurricane seemed to rise under her feet, and she rushed towards the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
