Chapter 31. Duke, I have a fiancée.

"That's... a fourth-level magic!"

The old mage pointed at Victor suspended in the air in horror and said such a sentence.

Suddenly, in the hall, there was dead silence.

"Fourth-level magic!?"

"Has Victor become a fourth-level mage?"

"Impossible!"

None of the mages present dared to believe this moment.

Noble Baker rubbed his eyes. When he opened them again, the red sun was still in the air.

"This is not an illusion..."

If Victor alone stopped the volcanic eruption, it only affected their mentality.

And now Victor who can use fourth-level magic is simply making people feel desperate.

In the long history of the empire, no one has ever achieved such an achievement.

At twenty-nine years old, a fourth-level mage.

The intensity of this magic energy and the astonishing magic strength made them have to believe it.

Victor becoming a fourth-level mage has already become a reality.

The second prince narrowed his eyes and looked up at Victor in the sky.

That posture like a demon god in the fire seemed as if it would devour him completely in the next second.

The terrifying temperature was still rising sharply.

In front of him was the already brewed magic formation.

As long as Victor moved his finger, all the mages and the second prince present would be burned to ashes.

Such a powerful aura is definitely not something that a third-level magic can possess.

Suddenly, the second prince smiled relievedly. He stretched out his hand and extinguished the flame on his body.

Then he bowed to Victor.

"I believe you."

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Victor. I doubted you."

"Hope you and Knight Commander Gwen can understand that under such circumstances, all doubts are very reasonable."

The temperature in the hall dropped suddenly.

Victor put away the magic formation and landed on the ground again. The flames all over his body turned back into a windbreaker.

His freely controllable magic shocked all the mages even more.

At this moment, Victor's strength has been recognized by everyone.

Even the emperor showed an appreciative look at him.

Many mages seemed to realize something. Clever mages quickly smiled at Victor.

"Mr. Victor is really amazingly talented! A twenty-nine-year-old fourth-level mage is probably unique even outside the empire."

"There are only a few holy mages in the empire until now."

"In this way, our empire has added another holy mage, and the national power is prosperous!"

The mages who had just questioned quickly changed their faces and all flattered Victor.

Only some proud old mages were left. They looked at Victor and said nothing.

Without exception, these people have been at the third-level mage stage for decades.

"Meet at the peak."

As a result, they found that they were the ones at the bottom of the mountain.

Even if Duke Levi reached the fourth-level level, they would not be jealous and would only offer sincere blessings.

But who is he, Victor? A notoriously talented mage.

Thinking that it was the person they hated who took the lead and surpassed them and became a holy mage.

These old mages were so angry that they almost ground their back molars.

"How annoying!"

Gwen also looked at this unfavorable situation and suddenly reversed in front of Victor. She blinked.

'How... did he suddenly become so strong?'

She really wanted to go forward and ask Victor carefully.

But now is not the time.

With the second prince's show of weakness, the outcome of this court meeting was basically determined.

Nine years later, Victor once again made everyone in the world realize his reputation as a genius.

"Ovisser, you can step down."

The emperor waved his hand and said the second prince's real name, indicating for him to leave.

The second prince glanced at Victor one last time, turned around and bowed:

"Yes, Father."

He flicked his robe and left the hall.

"Victor."

The emperor hooked his finger at Victor. "Let me take a good look at the youngest holy mage in the empire."

Victor stepped forward and confidently met the king's gaze.

Even if standing in front of the emperor was a powerful fourth-level mage.

The emperor's gaze did not waver at all.

Victor bowed respectfully:

"Excuse me, Your Majesty."

"It doesn't matter."

The emperor asked: "You just said that you defeated a magical beast. So the volcano won't erupt anymore?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Victor shook his head and explained:

"I can't kill that magical beast. I can only defeat it and seal it back inside the volcano."

"At least for a certain period of time, the volcano will not erupt again."

"Of course, if it breaks through the seal again, I will still defeat it."

The emperor nodded and showed a joyful expression on his face.

"Good!"

"You have dealt with a huge hidden danger for the empire. I will reward you well."

"Tell me, what do you want? Status? Power? Or wealth?"

Now Victor is already a fourth-level mage. Such a powerful mage should not have only the status of a viscount.

He should have a higher status.

But Victor shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. So, I hope Your Majesty can let me keep this reward."

The emperor nodded and agreed to his request.

The more he looked at Victor, the more he admired him. He blurted out:

"You are even better than your father."

Victor didn't care.

His father had already died. Moreover, even if he was still alive, that wouldn't be his real father.

Victor lowered his head and saw Duke Levi kneeling on the ground.

He was still kneeling there, with his head bowed, like a sinner awaiting judgment.

Just like at the beginning.

Victor said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

"I want to vindicate Duke Levi."

The duke suddenly raised his head and looked at Victor in disbelief.

The emperor also let out an interested 'oh?'.

"Victor, just say what you want to say."

After getting permission, Victor nodded and said:

"Regarding this matter, Duke Levi is also an insider."

"Duke Levi and I have already agreed that I will fight the magical beast inside the volcano, while Duke Levi will lead the magic formation outside."

"If I fail, Duke Levi will release war magic to suppress the magical beast."

The emperor raised his head and looked at him approvingly.

"So, you succeeded."

This sentence was not only an answer to Victor, but also said to all the mages present.

But there were still mages who didn't distinguish the situation. A mage shouted in the crowd:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"You have no relatives or friends with the duke? There is absolutely no possibility of you communicating!"

Victor turned his head and glanced at him contemptuously and said coldly.

"Erika Du Cloy is my proudest student."

"Do you still have any questions?"

This mage was suddenly speechless.

At this time, everyone realized that Victor had another identity, that is, the youngest professor at the Royal Magic Academy.

Victor's layout is flawless and seamless. He has already arranged everything.

No, there is still a turnaround.

The mages who still wanted to step on the duke all looked at Gwen expectantly.

As a result, they were disappointed because they heard a cold sentence from Gwen:

"Your Majesty, Victor is not lying."

The emperor laughed. He sat on the throne in high spirits and announced the final judgment:

"Levi, innocent."

....

Victor walked out of the palace expressionlessly. During this period, no mage dared to disturb him.

A black crow was standing on the railing at the door, waiting for him.

Victor walked up and touched the crow's head.

"Victor Klevenner."

Duke Levi walked out and called Victor's name as soon as he saw him.

When Victor heard someone call his name, he turned around and returned Duke Levi's gaze.

Duke Levi is kind to others, but at this moment, even in the face of Victor who has helped him, he seems a little indifferent.

"State your purpose."

Victor's hand stroking the bird's head paused. He put Vigar on his shoulder and looked at this old father who looked somewhat similar to Erika.

"What purpose does Your Excellency the Duke hope I have?"

Levi's eyes looking at Victor were a little dangerous.

Victor sighed and said:

"Your Excellency the Duke, being overly affectionate towards your daughter is not a good thing."

"Don't worry, I have a fiancée."

Duke Levi thought of the knight who dared to lie in public in front of all the mages and the emperor.

He himself didn't expect that the powerful knight known for her sense of justice would lie for Victor.

It is often rumored outside that the relationship between the two is very bad, but now it seems that it is not like that.

He relaxed a little.

"But since you have said so, Your Excellency the Duke..."

While thinking, Victor's voice suddenly sounded.

The duke looked at Victor and only felt that there seemed to be something more in his eyes... calculation.

"It seems unreasonable if I don't do something to Erika..."
