Chapter 27. Are you hiding someone?

Chapter 27. Are you hiding someone?

The big man who was lifted up hadn't figured out the situation yet. Almost in the next second, he was instantly thrown out by that huge hand.

"Bang!"

The sound of landing suddenly rang out, and everyone present was shocked.

Before they could say anything, Victor slightly raised his head, and his cold eyes seemed to turn into a steel needle and pierce into their hearts.

"Get out."

At the moment the words fell, the younger brothers all ran away in panic.

From beginning to end, they didn't even dare to resist.

After they all fled, Victor withdrew the lava giant hand.

This astonishing arm seemed to disappear into Victor's windbreaker and completely merged.

After doing these things, he turned around and glanced at the trembling administrator. In a cold voice, he said.

"I'm here to pick up the horse."

He immediately understood Victor's intention. Trembling, he straightened up from the counter and sized up the man in front of him.

"How... how can you prove that this is your horse? Prove... prove your identity!"

Victor looked at him with admiration, as if recognizing the other's courage. He said calmly.

"Victor Clevenner."

"The person who left this horse should have left this name."

When the administrator heard this, he carefully checked the register and quickly nodded: "No... no problem. You can take it away."

Then, he took out a money bag from under the counter and handed it to Victor.

"That knight deposited five thousand gios here. This is the remaining part after deducting the feeding fee. Take it."

Victor was not polite either. He took the money bag, weighed it, and put it away directly.

Five thousand gios...

It can only be said that Gwen has no concept of money.

Spending so much money to deposit a horse is enough for this horse to eat here for half a lifetime.

Victor walked into the stable and touched the strong white horse.

"It seems that the treatment these days is not bad."

The white horse stretched out its head and rubbed Victor's hand to show affection.

He stroked the soft hair of the white horse for a while, led it out, and skillfully mounted the horse.

Vega looked down at Victor and whispered on his shoulder:

"With your current strength, when you return to the royal capital, you can get there with just a few teleportation formations."

"Why do you have to ride a horse?"

Vega was not exaggerating. Now Victor can freely teleport within a hundred kilometers by using teleportation magic.

Because he has stepped into the ranks of "saint mages".

At twenty-nine years old, fourth-order.

In the history of the empire, has anyone really achieved such an achievement?

Hearing Vega's question, Victor chuckled.

"This horse is not mine."

"Borrowed things should always be returned."

After the previous battle with the fire disaster, Victor gained a huge amount of experience points.

Although the previous experience was basically enough for him to become a fourth-order mage.

But Victor had been controlling the experience points and did not rashly advance.

It wasn't until he fought with Groudon that he gained so much experience that the experience bar of the player itself couldn't hold on.

It exploded.

[Victor Clevenner]lv41

Health: 2000/2000

Mana: 14800/15000

After continuously upgrading by two levels, compared to before, the maximum mana value has increased by ten thousand.

This seemingly very powerful attribute did not make Victor arrogant.

Level forty is just the beginning.

His current strength is still not comparable to the boss Victor in the second chapter of the original game.

But at least, in the ostensibly royal capital, he no longer needs to worry about being restrained by others in terms of strength.

Moreover, his gains are not just leveling up.

A red stripe flashed on Victor's windbreaker.

That is the symbol of Groudon's ability.

He absorbed Groudon's fire origin and obtained part of Groudon's abilities.

One of them is the solidification of the fire element.

Victor can turn fire magic into a substantial heat like magma and even solidify it into lava.

The lava giant hand before was formed by him casually solidifying it in a magical way.

At the same time, he can also attach the fire origin to his body, greatly enhancing his resistance to fire elements.

The most important thing is that he can freely transform it into the shape he wants.

His favorite windbreaker was destroyed during the battle with Groudon.

So now, Victor uses Groudon's fire origin to attach to his body and forms the windbreaker he is wearing now.

This is simply a waste.

But for Victor, this is just right.

Strength is a matter of one version.

But being handsome is a matter of a lifetime.

"I can understand your obsession with windbreakers, but..."

Vega dropped a small and exquisite hourglass pendant from its wing and said to Victor:

"Can you explain to me what exactly this thing is?"

Victor took it over and glanced at it.

[Item Name: Exiled Eubicius (world-class item)]

[Nature: One-time consumable item]

[Effect: Causal disorder. It can convert the causal relationship of a specific time that should occur in time.]

Victor just took a look, and the item's information introduction appeared in front of his eyes.

World-class items can only be obtained by players who have achieved world-class achievements in the game.

Of course, Victor has never obtained one.

Each world-class item has its unique and astonishing effect.

They are things that exist regardless of world rules.

World-class items can only be used once and will disappear immediately after use.

And world items are bound. Only the object recognized by it can use it. Others cannot operate it even if they hold it in their hands.

This is also the reason why Vega can't understand it at all.

Killing the world boss Groudon for the first time. In the game, this can definitely be called a world-class achievement.

Not to mention he killed it alone.

The will of the world has no reason not to give him a world-class item.

After Victor woke up, this item automatically appeared in his player backpack.

Out of interest, Vega borrowed the pendant to study it.

But obviously, it didn't find anything.

Victor took the hourglass pendant and put it on his neck.

"Did you already know what this thing is?"

Vega looked at Victor suspiciously, but he always kept a poker face and replied:

"I don't know."

Hearing Victor's perfunctory answer, Vega was so angry that his teeth itched.

To be honest, it now envies Gwen's ability to see through other people's true and false words. It also wants one.

Victor glanced at it and sarcastically said:

"Don't even think about it. You are not just at all."

Vega wished it could peck Victor's head to pieces and said dissatisfiedly:

"No wonder you are so annoying."

.....

The royal capital at night is extremely quiet. The moonlight quietly climbs onto the roof.

Outside the balcony of Victor's study, a figure passed through the moonlight and climbed into the study through the window.

Leah leaned against the table, looking at the moonlight tonight, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lyon jumped in, opened the hood, revealing sharp ears.

"Miss Leah, I have been tracking Duke Livy's butler for a week. I can be sure that the money transaction was done by the butler of the duke's mansion."

"The butler has no motive to provoke the Clevenner family. I think this is Duke Livy's instigation."

After listening to Lyon's report, Leah smiled faintly, with a hint of contempt in the corner of her mouth.

The moonlight shone on her face, making it extremely cold.

"Duke Livy is already in a difficult situation at this time. Whether he did that thing or not is no longer meaningful."

When Lyon heard this, she was stunned for a moment and asked, "What? What's going on?"

Leah touched the ebony table and said slowly:

"Not long ago, the mages who went to Mount Vesuvius collectively praised the emperor and impeached Duke Livy."

"The reason is that the duke wanted to kill all the mages present."

When Lyon heard her explanation, she couldn't figure it out.

How could Duke Livy do such a reckless thing that affects the royal credibility in broad daylight.

"But he did it."

"Duke Livy has admitted that as the leader of war magic, he stopped maintaining the magic formation."

"If the volcano had erupted completely at that time, all the mages present would have died."

Lyon was a little puzzled: "But in the end, the volcano didn't erupt. Why do they still impeach the duke?"

When Leah heard her words, she could only shake her head with a smile and said helplessly: "You really don't understand the human world."

"In the eyes of these noble mages, of course, life is reassuring only when they hold it in their own hands."

"And the Duke Livy they trust the most betrayed them at the most critical moment. No matter whether the volcano erupted or not, Duke Livy did not continue to maintain the formation. This has already committed a great crime."

"This time it's just luck. The volcano was stopped from erupting by a seemingly special power. But what if the volcano really erupts?"

A glimmer of light flashed in Leah's eyes.

"At that time, not only the mages will die, but also thousands of innocent people at the foot of the mountain."

Lyon suddenly understood. However, at this time, Leah still had the leisure to joke.

"It's just a pity that these mages are all busy impeaching the duke, and no one comes to buy potions from me."

"I still want to make a good profit before Victor comes back."

Lyon opened her mouth to say something else but paused again.

So Leah stretched out her hand and knocked on her head. Smiling, she said:

"Are you trying to say that don't let me wait anymore? Victor will definitely not come back?"

Lyon covered her head and didn't speak, but her eyes had already betrayed her thoughts.

"There is a saying that circulates among humans. Good people don't live long, but disasters last for thousands of years."

"People like Victor are the latter. Unless someone personally brings his corpse in front of me, otherwise, I will never believe that he is dead."

"Never."

Lyon still wanted to say something to persuade Leah. Suddenly, she felt a powerful and familiar aura appear at the door.

Her ears twitched, and Leah noticed it. This was a signal that someone was approaching and being detected by an elf.

"It's Victor's aura! He's back!"

"See?"

Leah's smile was brilliant.

"I said he wouldn't die."

Lyon lowered her head, put on the hood again, and nodded to Leah.

She hid her figure, maintained an aura that would definitely not be detected, and jumped directly out of the window.

At this time, the surprised voice of the servant rang out from outside the door.

"Master, you... you're back?"

"Well, lead this horse down and feed it well."

"Yes! I'll do it right away!"

As the footsteps got closer and closer, they suddenly stopped abruptly. Then, the door of the study was pushed open.

Leah leaned against the table and looked at Victor with a smile on her face.

"Welcome home."

Victor nodded expressionlessly. As soon as he walked into the study, he looked around.

Finally, his gaze locked on Leah.

"Are you hiding someone?"

"....."

Leah's smile froze and then gradually collapsed.
