Super magic gloves

After calmly reviewing the bill, Victor placed it gently 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 looking at an idiot, she chuckled softly, her tone laced with sarcasm.

"As a lord, you don't even know the source of your own territory's income?"

Although Victor really didn't know, it didn't stop Liya from mocking him as an 'undeserving' lord.

"Listen carefully, the Cravenna Territory, with the trade of grain and ore as its main source of income!"

Through Liya's explanation, Victor got a general understanding.

Under the name of the Cravenna family, there was a territory named after 'Cravenna'.

The land was fertile, surrounded by lush forests.

The territory was about a hundred kilometers from the capital, and it only took a day's journey by carriage to reach it.

Precisely because of this, the second largest prosperous town in the empire was located here.

The Cravenna Territory had a very rich vein of ore, which even now was enough to be mined for more than fifty years.

Close to the capital, fertile land, abundant grain, and a family mine.

It was hard for the Cravennas not to have money.

"But recently, the ore output has decreased a lot, and it is not yet the season for grain harvesting. The grain we sold before was all stored in the granary last year."

Liya faced Victor, her voice full of anger.

"We still need to guarantee the consumption of our territory. We can't possibly sell everything. Now the territory's income is very small, and at this juncture, you still dare to spend money like this!"

Victor nodded after listening, his face expressionless, but rather calm.

"Do you have no remorse at all?"

Liya looked at Victor in disbelief. She knew that her elder brother was a hands-off person, but he couldn't be so clueless, right?

Victor thought for a while, stroking his chin and responding to her:

"Go hire a few mages, and then buy a storefront in the most prosperous part of the capital and open a magic item shop."

Liya immediately exploded when she heard Victor's suggestion, and she sternly said:

"Victor! Haven't you listened to a single word of my advice!?"

"Do you think this kind of shop is rare in the capital!?"

"Even if you open a store, what can you do!? Do you think your name can be bigger than all the merchants!?"

"Victor, do you know how to do business at all!?"

Liya became more and more agitated as she spoke.

She thought that after her parents' death, she had started learning to manage the territory since she was a child and had maintained it for more than ten years, up to now, the territory still had some余裕.

Even if Victor was extravagant, she had never complained.

But now, this Victor, who knew nothing, actually wanted to intervene in the family's business!

What exactly is he trying to do!

As she spoke, she felt more and more aggrieved.

Seeing that he couldn't calm Liya's emotions with words, Victor didn't want to say anything more, just waved his hand, and dozens of blue magic potions appeared on the table in front of the two.

Liya was taken aback, looking at the azure-colored potions on the table, her emotions that were about to erupt suddenly subsided.

"What is this?"

She blinked.

Nowadays, no one has ever seen such a magic potion.

There are indeed items that restore magic power, but these items all have one thing in common.

Rare and very expensive.

And the only potions that have appeared on the market are healing potions, and their effects are very different from the [Life Potion] used by players.

One is a slow repair similar to taking medicine, and the other is to restore health value immediately after taking it.

This is the difference between real-world and game props.

To put it bluntly, putting game items into reality is a pure bug.

Even a small bottle of instant-recovery magic potion can become a god-level item.

So Victor didn't explain, it was still too hard to believe from his mouth.

Seeing is believing.

Victor instructed calmly,

"Find a few mages, let them cast spells to exhaust them, and then have them drink a bottle. You will know what to do then."

Liya was very suspicious, but she still took all the potions.

"Oh, by the way, do you have any helpers?"

Hearing Victor's question, Liya sneered, "Oh, our great lord has finally learned to care about his people?"

Victor didn't care about the other party's sarcasm. Speaking of it, the strained relationship between them was also related to Victor's inaction.

So, he just repeated his question.

"Seriously, has your caravan ever hired helpers like bodyguards?"

Liya snorted coldly.

"No, I don't trust anyone."

In other words, Liya had been doing all the business of the Cravenna Territory by herself.

"Won't you encounter danger on the way? Although the territory is not far from the capital, it is still a whole day's journey."

Liya was surprised that her unreliable brother would care about her one day, but such care made her a little uncomfortable.

She leaned against the table, stretched out a finger and twirled it around her hair, turning her head away unnaturally.

"Well... no, we have our own trade route. If we encounter bandits or the like, we just need to show the Cravenna family crest and the other side will know what to do and leave quietly. Generally, nothing happens."

"At least I haven't encountered any danger so far."

With that, she didn't look at Victor either, but took out a potion and examined it carefully.

Victor nodded, and then, took off the Mage's Hand on his right hand.

"Liya, listen carefully, this trip to open a store in the capital is extraordinary. Such precious things are very easy to be coveted by others. Put it on, and you will be able to deal with some unexpected situations."

Liya looked at the glove Victor handed over, put down the potion, and felt a little conflicted.

"Don't worry, this is just a small magic prop that will automatically adapt to the size of your palm."

Liya thought that what she cared about was not this, but she couldn't explain it well. She reached out and took the fingerless glove. There was still the residual warmth of Victor's palm on it.

She stroked the gemstone on the glove, and a wave of resentment suddenly rose in her heart.

As a merchant, she naturally knew what was on it.

Mana Stones, gemstones that can transmit magic, each worth millions...

He actually installed six on a glove!

There was some muttering in her heart, but she surprisingly didn't attack Victor.

Liya put on the glove, and just as Victor said, the glove automatically adapted to her hand shape.

"Open your palm and face me, and think about the gemstone on the glove with your mind, any one will do."

She followed the instructions and opened her palm facing Victor.

There was a green gemstone in the middle, and she thought the color of this gemstone was very beautiful.

'Is this all it takes?'

A question flashed through her mind, and suddenly, the green gemstone glowed faintly, and then...

Whoosh!

Like a ripple exploding, a magic circle quickly took shape in Liya's palm!

Almost instantly, a violent storm filled the entire study, and the papers fluttered and crackled in the wind.

The hurricane grew larger and larger above the magic circle!

Victor's finger lightly tapped the desk, and a teleportation circle quickly took shape in the air.

After the hurricane swelled to a certain extent, it was sucked into the teleportation circle.

Suddenly, the storm subsided.

A few seconds later, there was a shocking cracking sound nearby.

Liya was stunned.

"What... what was that just now?"

"Second-tier magic: [Raging Storm], powerful enough to flatten a hill."

"Don't be so surprised."

Looking at the stunned Liya, Victor tapped the desk, and the magic circle in the air dissipated.

How could Liya not be surprised? She was not a mage, and she had only seen others cast spells.

And the magic just now was released from her own hands.

She is still dizzy now.

"So... this is how it feels to cast magic."

She stood there in a daze, even forgetting to put her hand back.

Victor replenished the magic in the glove and continued to the shocked Liya: "Pay attention, this time I let you release it not only to let you master the trick, but more importantly, don't go wrong. You have also seen the power of this thing."

"Pay attention to the number of uses, one gem can only be used once."

"When you're done, come back to me and I'll refill it for you."

Liya knew how precious this thing was to Victor, and it was worth a fortune. At least she had never seen equipment that could allow ordinary people to use magic in her life.

Just about to say that if she sells it, she can definitely make a lot of money, but suddenly remembering Victor's serious attitude, she stopped speaking.

This is something that can be used to save lives.

Liya hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly to Victor: "Thank you."

Then he hurriedly left with the magic potion.

After the door to the study was closed, the crow on Victor's shoulder spoke:

"Are you not heartbroken to give this thing to someone else?"

"It's just a prop. If I want to make it, I can make it at any time. Moreover, I don't need this thing very much."

The Mage's Hand doesn't have much use on weekdays, but it is very effective in PVP. As a multi-instant cast magic prop, it is used to seize the first opportunity or provide emergency defense.

It is basically a must-have item for mage players in PK.

He doesn't need it for the time being.

After hearing Victor's words, Vega didn't say anything more, and started to think carefully in his heart.

'I have to find a way to trick him into making one for me.'

...

Early the next morning, Victor finished his breakfast and prepared to go to the academy. Just after tidying up his clothes, he saw a servant walk in.

"My lord, there is a lady outside who claims to be your assistant and says she is here to deliver your notes and lecture notes."

Victor stopped dressing.

Here comes Heny?

He didn't seem to have said to let Heny deliver things to his doorstep.

However, he still asked the servant to greet her and come in.

As a result, he saw Heny's haggard face with two dark circles under her eyes.

"Why are you like this? Didn't you have a good rest?"

Heny seemed to wake up and said to Victor;

"No, Professor, I forgot to sleep last night, and I wrote drafts all night."

This reason really made Victor unable to complain.

"After Erica sent the notes, I still remember that you said to send them to you, so I brought the lecture notes with me."

Looking at Heny who was a little sleepy, Victor really couldn't say anything to educate her.

Should I say she's a little silly?

He was silent for a while and asked.

"Have you had breakfast?"

Heny shook her head. She came early in the morning and didn't sleep, so naturally she didn't eat.

Victor waved his hand and instructed the servant to take her to breakfast and then arrange a room for her to rest.

Herny stammered an "ah", just about to decline, but Victor's imperious tone left no room for argument.

"Fill your stomach and then rest," he commanded.

Herny immediately wilted. She didn't dare defy Victor. She lowered her head, like a frost-bitten eggplant, and followed the servant out of the room.

Victor had originally planned to go to the academy that morning, but Herny's arrival changed his mind.

With his class in the afternoon, he decided to spend the morning in his study, reviewing Erica's homework and working on his speech manuscript.

Without looking up from Erica's assignments, Victor asked Weijia, "What do you think of that girl?"

Weijia was taken aback for a moment, realizing that Victor was referring to Herny.

"What do you mean?" Weijia asked.

"Didn't you suggest that I recruit followers?" Victor stretched languidly, tapping his fingers on the speech manuscript on the table. Turning to face Weijia, his squinting eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness and danger.

"This kind of naive girl is the easiest to fool," he declared.
