Chapter 15: Aren't you two lovers? There's no problem sharing a room, right?

Whoosh!

Cold water was splashed on the man's face. He immediately woke up and widened her eyes

"Wheeze! Wheeze!"

The man kept gasping for breath. He tried to move his body but found that his whole body was in pain and his limbs were fixed on a shelf.

Unable to move was his state.

The masked person in front of him put the basin on the ground and leaned against one side with her arms crossed.

She was still dressed in that way. Wrapped in a cloak, only her emerald-green pupils were exposed as she looked at him. It was very frightening.

He still clearly remembered that his group of brothers were all knocked down by her agile skills.

"Wake up? Let's talk when you're awake."

The man looked around and tried to find the source of the sound.

This was a dark and damp basement. Soon, through the sound, he saw the woman sitting on a chair.

The other party was playing with her nails. The table was filled with torture instruments that couldn't pass censorship.

Vaguely, he saw that the woman was wearing a very peculiar-looking glove on her hand. There were several gemstones embedded in it. He didn't count clearly.

"There is a saying that those who understand the times are real heroes."

"At present, all kinds of torture instruments. I think they will definitely pry open your mouth."

The man's cold sweat instantly soaked his whole body. He panicked and swayed his body, trying to escape the restraints through struggling. Unfortunately, he couldn't move.

He hurriedly shouted: "I'll say it! I'll say it! I'll tell everything!"

Snap!

The masked person in front of him suddenly slapped him hard on the face.

"I haven't asked yet. What do you want to say?"

Leah was playing with the pliers and looked at him and laughed.

This crisp slap made the man in a daze very awake. At the same time, anger occupied his reason.

"Do you know what you are doing!"

"Kidnapping! Using private punishment! You! You will be arrested!"

"So what? When you die like a wild dog by the roadside, will anyone care who killed you?"

Leah stood up. Her eyes were cold. It seemed that she had done such things many times.

The man struggled desperately again.

"Damn it! Damn it! How dare you do this? What right do you have!?"

Leah looked at him like looking at a fool: "Because I have money."

Man: "..."

With one sentence, he was immediately silenced.

"Is being rich so great? Can you just because you are rich..."

"My brother is Victor. He is a noble and a third-level mage."

Man: "..."

He stopped talking.

Leah picked up the pliers and knocked on the table. Then she continued: "Now that you know that you have provoked the Clevenna family. Then you should be prepared."

"Tell me. Who is behind this."

"The duke. It was the duke who asked us to do this!"

He still didn't change his previous confession. It seemed that to make Leah believe him, he took the initiative to report an address.

"That's our stronghold. You can go there. You can find it there!"

"The duke gave us a large sum of money and asked us to smash your store today! I'm not lying. You have to believe me!"

Seeing the man's hysteria, the masked person approached Leah and lowered her voice.

"He said the same thing before. Could it really be done by the duke?"

Leah clicked her tongue. She didn't care at all.

"A clumsy framing method."

"If you didn't say that, maybe I would still be suspicious of the duke. But if you insist on it, it will instead reduce his suspicion."

The man was stunned for a moment. In such a short moment, Leah noticed it on the spot.

Seeing this, she couldn't help laughing again.

As the charming laughter gradually subsided, she covered her stomach and raised a pair of charming eyes. She said with a smile.

"You really believe it? I tricked you."

"But looking at your reaction, it seems that it really wasn't done by the duke. I was just saying that how could a duke use such a low-level method."

The man opened his mouth as if he still wanted to say something. But Leah directly waved her hand.

"Okay. Deal with him, Lion."

"Don't forget to take off his body organs. You can still sell them for some money. Oh, by the way, and all his accomplices. Deal with them all. Don't leave any."

Leah patted the man's face and smiled like a devil.

The man's body kept trembling. He struggled in fear and wanted to say something.

But in the next second, Leah gently flipped her palm. A bottle of potion appeared in her hand.

The azure blue potion swayed and shone dazzlingly under the light.

"What a pity. Even if you sell all your body organs, your value is still not as good as one of my family's items."

She looked at the other party with a smile. The potion swayed back and forth in front of his eyes.

"Of course, this thing worth a thousand gios. In my eyes, it's just like you."

"Worthless."

Snap!

In the next second, the medicine bottle hit his face and shattered with a 'bang'.

He only felt that a lot of liquid flowed down his numb face.

The red and blue potions were intertwined. It was impossible to tell whether it was blood or potion that was flowing.

"Crazy... You are a lunatic! Let me go! Let me go!"

The man's voice trembled. He widened her eyes

Under the double torture of spirit and body, he was already in a terrible state.

Seeing the expression on his face, Leah couldn't help laughing again.

The beautiful smile was like a devil seeping into people's hearts.

In his bloodshot eyes, she yawned and turned around and said indifferently:

"Deal with it quickly."

"Yes."

....

After about a few hours, Lion had dealt with everything.

She secretly climbed into Victor's study through the window. Now Victor was not there. Leah was sitting in front of the desk dealing with the recent accounts.

There was no one else in the room. Lion took off her hood, revealing short light blond hair and pointed ears.

Just this pair of ears different from ordinary people could already prove her identity.

An elf.

"Miss, it's all dealt with."

Leah didn't raise her head but already knew who was coming. She smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's my honor, Miss Leah."

Lion continued: "I collected a lot of money from those people. I also went to their stronghold and searched around. These people recently received a large sum of money. About five thousand gios."

Leah took the money bag handed by Lion. Weighed it and put it aside.

"The amount is really quite a lot. That person didn't lie."

Lion couldn't help but ask again as she raised her head:

"Is it really not instigated by the duke?"

Leah's hand paused. She couldn't help laughing. After closing the ledger, she looked at her with a smile:

"You believe it too?"

"What?"

She said with a smile: "Even if the duke's suspicion is reduced to the minimum, it doesn't mean that he is cleared of suspicion."

"We just added a direction of suspicion. But the fact that the duke still hates us hasn't changed."

"Perhaps someone is causing trouble in the middle. Deliberately provoking conflicts between our Clevenna and the duke. Then the people behind will benefit from it."

"Or the duke simply doesn't like us. After all, there is no need for two youngest third-level mages in the capital."

Lion didn't understand these calculations among nobles. After a pause, she asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Why didn't you continue to interrogate him?"

"He won't say. Because he doesn't know who the instigator is either."

Leah flicked the money bag with her hand. Inside, the clinking sound of gios rang.

"Trading with money is enough to show that the other party is not an important member. So, he can only insist that it was done by the duke."

Leah said again:

"Why do you think the duke's daughter came to the east district? And happened to meet those who smashed the store?"

"Finally, she still has to spend a large amount of money to compensate for our broken potion?"

Hearing her words, Lion frowned. She had heard that Erica spent tens of thousands of gios just to compensate. She still found it a bit unbelievable.

Can a person be so kind-hearted?

"I don't believe her words."

Leah spread out her hands and said helplessly.

"Victor and I have lived together for more than ten years. I am most familiar with what kind of person he is."

"Although he has the talent to learn magic. But it's still half a lifetime too early to let him teach others. Probably at the college, he just casually talks according to the speech written by the teaching assistant."

"Erica actually said that she is his student. What can Victor teach her?"

...

At the same time, Vega, who was far away in the town of Sanchell, sneezed.

Victor glanced at him. Can a crow catch a cold?

But now he didn't have time to care about the crow that could catch a cold.

They arrived at a town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. The town was not big. Here they could only find one inn.

The knights didn't need to care too much about where they lived. They could even sleep by their horses at the post station for a night.

But Gwen was a woman. At the same time, she was also their respected knight captain. So the knights asked Gwen to stay at the inn for one night and get a good rest to regain her energy.

Similarly, Victor was a mage.

He also needed a good sleeping environment to replenish his mental power.

So the two had to come to the inn together.

Originally, they had agreed to have two rooms. But...

"Boss, is there really only one room left?"

Gwen was a bit anxious. In Victor's opinion, it was a bit funny.

This was the first time he had seen the other party's so unsteady side.

At this time, she wished she could build a new house on the open space immediately.

The boss was also very helpless.

"Knight 大人. How dare I deceive you? There is really only one big bed room left."

"Besides, I see that the two of you are traveling together. You should be lovers. There should be no problem sharing a room, right?"

Gwen was anxiously about to say more. Victor on the side interrupted her in advance.

"This room is fine."

Hearing Victor's words, Gwen immediately widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
