Chapter 22. We are all girls. You must understand me.

Duke Levi appeared behind Elika and put his hand on her shoulder. His face was extremely cold.

Seeing her father suddenly appear behind her, Elika was a little scared.

She thought that her plan to sneak away had been discovered.

Her eyes were wandering and she was thinking of a countermeasure when she heard Duke Levi ask.

"Explain why you were able to hold on to the magic array for so long just now?"

Hearing Duke Levi's question, Elika immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The nervous smile also became relaxed.

"So it's this matter."

Elika walked around behind the duke and said mysteriously: "That's because I have a treasure!"

"Treasure?"

Duke Levi was a little puzzled. What treasure had such an astonishing effect that made Elika's mental power so strong.

Elika told her father very proudly:

"It's something from Professor Victor."

"What? Victor's?"

Hearing this name, Duke Levi was really stunned.

He naturally knew that Victor was a genius and had become a professor at such a young age.

Has Victor already made an item that can increase mental power?

No, that's not the point!

The point is why is Victor's item in Elika's hands?

Did Victor give such a thing to Elika? Is it to please her?

Duke Levi was immediately angry. He only felt a fire in his heart and it rushed up.

"Damn Victor. You are still thinking about Elika!"

He couldn't wait to twist off Victor's bastard's head right now!

If he dared to think about his precious daughter, he must let him know what is called a price!

Looking back, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Didn't Elika hate Victor very much?

Why does she look so proud when mentioning Victor now!?

Duke Levi was thinking more and more that something was wrong. Victor was abducting his daughter.

Seeing Duke Levi like this, Elika took out a small blue potion from her bag.

"What's this?"

Seeing the potion she took out, Duke Levi asked curiously.

He had never seen a blue potion before.

"This was purchased at the item store of Professor Victor's house. Only one thousand gios for one bottle!"

Duke Levi: "..."

The misunderstanding was resolved.

He had thought that Victor had abducted Elika when he was at the academy.

Now it seems that it's not what he imagined.

He looked at the potion in Elika's hand and suddenly froze.

"Wait!"

"Elika, how much did you say this thing costs?"

Duke Levi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. One thousand gios. He must have misheard.

Elika puffed out her chest and proudly said again: "One thousand gios!"

Duke Levi: "..."

When did he raise such a prodigal daughter.

Forget it. Forget it. This is his daughter. His own flesh and blood.

Duke Levi took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He forced out a smile and said to Elika with a smile that didn't reach his eyes:

"Dad seems to have never taught you to spend money recklessly, right?"

Hearing what her father said, Elika immediately retorted:

"I didn't spend money recklessly!"

"Your mental power is not enough to support the magic array anymore, right?"

Duke Levi nodded.

Just as Elika said. Although there were countless second-rank mages providing magic power, his own mental power had been consumed by more than half. He could only come down to rest.

This was something that all mages couldn't do anything about.

Even if one had a powerful magic. But if the mental power was insufficient and the magic power couldn't be mobilized, the magic array couldn't be laid out, the runes couldn't be carved, and the magic couldn't be released either.

If someone could continuously cast magic for three days and three nights without collapsing on the ground.

Don't say anything. Just give a big slap directly.

There is no such unfounded bragging.

Although that was said. Levi still remembered Elika's heroic posture of continuously supplying magic power for five hours on the magic array.

Could it have something to do with this thing?

"Taste this."

Elika opened the lid of the potion and handed it to her father.

Duke Levi frowned when he saw the small blue potion. He was a little resistant in his heart. Looking at this appearance, it didn't seem like a good thing.

"This... liquid... looks like industrial waste water full of pigments."

Could this thing taste good?

"Drink it quickly!"

Elika urged quickly in front of him.

Hearing his daughter's urging, Duke Levi endured his resistance and drank it.

Whoosh!

A fluorescent blue glimmer appeared on his body.

Almost instantly, his mental power in his body recovered by a small half.

That was enough to support him to continue releasing spells.

He felt that his tired spirit was instantly relieved a lot.

Duke Levi rubbed his forehead. The fatigue just now almost disappeared completely.

As a high-rank mage who had been immersed in the third rank for more than thirty years. He naturally knew how astonishing the effect of this thing was.

Taking advantage of no one around. He decisively put away the empty bottle that he had drunk. He bent down to protect Elika and said softly in her ear:

"Don't spread this thing out. At least, don't spread it out now!"

"Tell dad. How many bottles do you have left now?"

Elika counted with her fingers and calculated.

She bought a total of ten bottles. She wasted one bottle at home to test the effect. She consumed four bottles by continuously releasing magic on the magic array. Her father drank one bottle to restore his mental power. So, there were still...

"Four bottles."

Duke Levi grabbed Elika's shoulder. Lowered his head and said seriously.

"You must keep this matter a secret before returning to the royal capital."

"If this thing is spread out now. I'm afraid it will be coveted by people with ulterior motives."

"You can't hold onto this thing. Give it to dad. Dad can hold onto it!"

Hearing her father speak like this. Elika sighed and shook her head:

"No. This was bought with a lot of my pocket money."

"Double your pocket money when you get home!"

"Deal."

Elika thought:

'Anyway, this was made by Professor Victor. When I see him at the academy. Just ask him to make some more.'

'Professor Victor should agree to me... right?'

Elika was in a very good mood feeling that she had made a lot of money from her father. So she very readily gave three bottles to Duke Levi.

If it wasn't for what her father said. In case of emergencies. She should keep one bottle on her body. She would have given them all out.

Duke Levi held the potion and left carefully.

Looking at her father's somewhat funny appearance. Elika couldn't help laughing.

Duke Levi quickly returned to the mountainside and stood on the big magic array again to release magic power and construct the magic array.

Several third-rank mages who were still resting saw Duke Levi go up the mountain again.

They 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 power is still sufficient. You rest first. I can maintain the big magic array by myself."

???

Again?

Several third-rank mages whose mana was exhausted were stunned on the spot.

Just now your daughter stood for five hours without moving. Now it's your turn to stand on it and not come down?

All of your Du Croix family are perverts, right!

At this time, Elika was extremely happy. If it wasn't to get the duke away. Even if her pocket money was multiplied by ten times. She wouldn't give out the potion.

She wanted to go to the top of the mountain. Now. She could only start from Gwen.

So, Elika returned to Gwen again. Pretending to be coy and said to her: "Sister. I can't bear it anymore!"

"We are all girls. Sister must understand me."

Elika looked at Gwen with teary eyes and begged.

Gwen thought for a while. Suddenly, her face blushed slightly.

She seemed to know what Elika was talking about.

But, did that day of hers happen to be today?

This kind of thing was related to a girl's dignity. Gwen thought about it and had to agree to Elika.

It was really Elika's reason that made it hard for her to refuse.

At first, Elika was very happy and almost jumped up. But thinking of what she had just said. She could only show that she was still in great pain.

Then Gwen said: "For your safety. I will accompany you."

Elika immediately wilted.

With such a powerful knight captain following her. The chance of her escaping under the other party's nose was slim.

But Elika hadn't given up yet. As long as she found an opportunity. She could still get out!

Soon, the two came to an uninhabited place.

The surface of the volcano was all flat ground. It was hard to find even a bunker.

Finally found a stone. It could only barely block it.

Elika's eyes rolled around. Blushing. She asked Gwen to stay away. She was a little shy.

Gwen was puzzled for a moment. Then she continued: "We are all girls. What's there to be shy about?"

But she still took a few steps back.

Elika squatted behind the stone. Just as she was about to take off her pants. She looked up and happened to meet Gwen's eyes.

She was a little ashamed and angry. She said to Gwen from a distance: "Turn your head and don't look at me, okay!"

Gwen: "..."

She took a few steps back in silence and then turned her head.

If you don't look. Then don't look. Anyway. It's all the same.

At this moment when she turned her head. A blue light shone on the volcano. Gwen just saw the faint blue light edge and immediately turned her head.

The teleportation magic array had been formed. Elika's body stepped into it. Waving at Gwen with a smile on her face.

"Tell my father for me. I will come back safely."

Gwen rushed up and reached out to stop her. But it was too far away. It was too late.

Whoosh!

Elika's figure disappeared instantly.

Gwen missed. Lowered her head. Looked at the ground and murmured:

"Teleportation... magic?"

Where could she go?

Gwen remembered Elika's initial question.

"Who is that mage?"

Victor Clevenner.

This name flashed through her mind suddenly. Her gaze quickly turned to the top of the mountain.

In the next second. It was as if a hurricane rose under her feet. She rushed towards the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
