Chapter 21: Duke, your daughter is amazing.

The mages summoned from the capital gathered on the mountainside of the volcano and surrounded the volcano.

The mages raised their arms high. The gushing magic power was connected with each other and gradually formed a huge magic array surrounding the volcano.

The flowing light was shining brightly, covering a hundred miles.

Many magic steel nails nailed on the volcano were affected by the array. The magic chains on them began to jingle and stir up, going deeper into the volcano.

Runes were engraved on the array. The huge magic array became thicker and thicker and spread continuously for hundreds of miles.

Second-level mages stood at a lower level than third-level mages and transmitted a steady stream of magic power to them.

When the first batch of second-level mages were unable to continue, the second batch took over.

When the earliest batch of second-level mages had rested and returned to the field, round after round.

More than a dozen third-level mages concentrated and began to chant:

"The god of Naraku weeps! Gather the coldness of the world!"

"The god of Cihuang begs! Chant the tears of sorrow of the lower world!"

...

Although Erica is the daughter of the duke, she will not receive any special treatment.

She was also assigned to the ranks of second-level mages.

After the knights evacuated the people, they guarded these mages nearby to prevent them from being disturbed.

Magic would attract monsters. So they guarded beside the mages and killed all the approaching monsters.

"The longer the casting time of this magic array covering the entire Mount Vesuvius, the stronger the effect."

As a third-level mage, Duke Levi tried his best to correct the magic array. He only hoped that the eruption time of this volcano could be later.

If this large array was adjusted for a whole day, it would definitely be able to completely block the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

This continued for an hour. The previous batch of second-level mages went down the mountain and another batch took over.

Erica was among this batch of mages. She stood behind Duke Levi and began to chant in a low voice, transmitting her magic power to her father.

Duke Levi was chanting incantations and drawing the magic array while observing Erica's every move.

Seeing that Erica could handle things independently, he was a little relieved.

"Erica, you have grown up."

The second round of mages went down. The third batch was about to come up. But Erica didn't go down.

She secretly drank a bottle of blue potion purchased from Leah. Instantly, she felt that her mental power was filled again.

Duke Levi was a little surprised when he saw that Erica was still continuing. At the same time, he was very happy.

"Unexpectedly, Erica has so much mental power."

"When I was at this age, I was far inferior to her."

After another hour, after the third batch of mages went down, the fourth batch of mages had also come up.

Erica was still standing on the magic array and continued to transmit magic power to Duke Levi.

She secretly drank another bottle of potion and her mental state was fully restored again.

If Duke Levi was just surprised just now, then now he was completely shocked!

"Erica's talent is so terrifying!?"

"This astonishing mental power has surpassed many third-level mages."

And as Erica's father, he didn't even know his daughter's strength until now!

Soon, the fourth batch of mages also exhausted their magic power and went down to rest one after another.

Erica secretly drank another bottle and continued to transmit.

All the third-level mages around Duke Levi noticed Erica.

It has been four hours. Where did she get so much magic power?

Could it be that in the heart of this genius girl, there is an ocean named "magic"?

These mages couldn't help but ask the duke:

"Duke Levi, is your daughter a monster? She actually has such a terrifying mental reserve."

"That's right. I haven't seen any family's cow that can plow continuously for such a long time."

Duke Levi began to worry. He was afraid that his daughter was being brave and would cause irreversible overdraft damage to her body.

But seeing that his daughter still seemed very relaxed, he took back what he wanted to say.

What's going on here?

He couldn't figure it out.

Until five hours later, the first batch of the second round of mages had already gone down the mountain and rested again. The second-level mages who should have been in the same queue as Erica climbed to the top of the mountain again.

As a result, they saw the daughter of that duke.

She was still standing in the magic array under Duke Levi. Like an astonishing light bulb, she was emitting the radiance of magic all over her body.

???

Don't you need to rest?

Yes, after each batch of mages went down, Erica would secretly drink a bottle of potion to keep her magic power value at a relatively relaxed level.

Erica felt the shock and surprise in their eyes and was very proud of her behavior.

'Thanks to the potion made by Professor Victor. In this way, I can still persevere!'

'Father will definitely be impressed by me!'

She was still thinking smugly. But Duke Levi's roar was like a hammer and woke her up.

"Erica! Go down and rest!!!"

Erica: "...."

For the first time, she saw her father so angry with her. For a moment, she was a little afraid and shrank her head and went down with her head down.

However, her reputation had spread throughout the ranks of second-level mages.

"Who understands? That's a pervert! When I went down for the first time, she didn't leave. When I returned for the second time, she was still there!"

"You mean the daughter of Duke Levi? I also saw it. Her mental power has already been comparable to that of a third-level mage..."

"Even that Victor would probably find it difficult to distinguish superiority from her."

Erica had very good hearing. Hearing these secretly praising words about herself, she was a little proud.

There were even people comparing her with Victor. When she heard this sentence, she couldn't help feeling a little excited.

But Erica also knew very well that without those potions, she could never support for such a long time continuously.

That magical potion was made by Victor...

Thinking of this, those praises made her feel extremely ugly.

Sure enough, she was not as good as Professor Victor.

Perhaps, in her entire life, she would never be able to see his back.

"Roar!!!!"

Another earth-shattering roar came from the crater of Mount Vesuvius. Rolling rocks began to collapse. The ashes in the air flew towards the earth.

The black clouds over the volcano seemed to be shattered with cracks. The gaps were also burned red.

The mountain began to tremble. The magma inside the volcano began to stir restlessly.

"Look! What's that!?"

A knight pointed at the high-temperature raindrops constantly falling from the sky.

Countless fire rains hit near the crater. As soon as pieces of rocks touched the raindrops, they burst like bombs.

All the mages and knights were on guard. The mages immediately carved out temporary magic arrays to deal with the crisis. The knights also began to use magic items to give effects to their armor and silver swords.

Could it be that the volcano is about to erupt now?

Suddenly, a voice came from Erica's heart:

'It hurts. It hurts so much...'

"That voice again! What exactly happened?"

She clearly heard that this voice came from the top of the volcano. She really wanted to go to the top of the mountain and take a look.

Moreover, maybe... Professor Victor is there!

Erica remembered the words of those mages slandering Professor Victor.

She didn't want to regard Victor as the mastermind behind the volcanic eruption.

But in this situation, anyone would suspect it was Victor.

The disappeared Victor and the about-to-erupt volcano.

"No! I have to think of a way to go to the crater and take a look quickly."

Thinking like this, Erica noticed the knight order guarding the magic array nearby.

That was the only female in the knight order.

She was very beautiful. She was the second most beautiful woman Erica had seen besides her mother.

The first one was the sister in the Clevenna store.

Completely different from that sister's temperament. She was like a knight walking out of ice. Her aura was cold. Just standing there made people feel a sense of aloofness.

Keep strangers away.

Erica had heard that this knight was the current head of the Royal Knights - Gwen.

She planned to find this sister and ask her to let her out.

"If I directly say going to the crater, it definitely won't work."

Erica paced back and forth on the spot and thought. Suddenly an idea popped into her head.

She pretended to be anxious and rushed in front of Gwen.

As she wished, her behavior really attracted the other party's attention.

"Well, knight sister. I want to go to the bathroom. Can you let me leave here for a while?"

"No."

Gwen answered firmly.

"I have to ensure the safety of all of you here. Miss Erica. Please be patient."

"Hmm... A cold and rigid knight who only knows to obey orders."

Erica muttered and went back angrily.

But she became more and more anxious in her heart.

The voice from the top of the mountain. The disappeared Victor seemed to be reminding her of something.

She had to leave here and go to the top of the mountain!

At this time, Duke Levi suddenly appeared beside her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Ying!"

Erica's body trembled like a frightened little rabbit.

Duke Levi said seriously:

"Dear, give me an explanation."
