It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

Although I've heard that he's handsome, once you take a closer look, he's really damn handsome.

"what time is it now?"

"03:30."

"...Seven hours left?"

Vickery wondered if he would be able to make it to the meeting.

Without taking a train, judging from the wizard's weak physical strength, it would take a day to climb over this snowy mountain and reach the Wolf Mountains.

"Professor, although it's just a formality, I still want to ask, how is the escort knight with you?"

"...died."

"Is it because of the attack?"

Vickery hesitated, then nodded.

"That's it. Professor, can you help me clear the track..."

Upon hearing this, Vickery turned around and looked down at Lovesy. This was a look of arrogance unique to nobles towards inferior people.

Lovexi was a little overwhelmed by his momentum for a moment, but she still spoke bravely.

"If you can help me clear these obstacles on the road, I can use my authority to call the express train."

Clearing the route before the snowstorm and catching a train will increase your chances of successfully participating in the parliament. It is a win-win cooperation...

Why are you looking at her like this...

"Professor, instead of walking over there, why not..."

"To shut up."

Lovesy immediately shut her mouth.

Although he has a handsome face, Vickery's ability to annoy people is extraordinary.

"Step aside."

Although Vickrey was exhausted at the moment, compared to his inner decadence, his external aura was so amazing that Lovesy unconsciously compromised.

"Yes."

Lovesy lowered her head and walked away from Weekly, but she grabbed a staff member on the way.

"Hey, let's put the search and rescue on hold for a while and clear the roads before the heavy snowfall."

"clear."

"One more thing, is the only way to go to the Wolff Mountains from here is to cross the snowy mountains?"

"No, it's not. Although it's a bit far, there are still land and sea routes to go."

"Huh? No way..."

The staff member's answer made Lovesy frown slightly, and she looked back.

Vickrey's figure had long since disappeared, and only snowflakes were still flying in the sky.

"Is it speed magic?"

Vickery seems to think that instead of spending time clearing the road, it is better to use auxiliary magic to run on the cliff and climb over directly...

Indeed, the wind around here is very strong, and it is not impossible to borrow the power of the elements...

"But how much magic power does this guy have?"

The skills are also unimaginably high.

This was completely inconsistent with the intelligence she had collected before.

He stopped the train from derailing with the help of a mage, and even single-handedly fought off ten assassins. Then he defeated the knight Noel and climbed up from the cliff unharmed.

Now he's using high-level magic to 'speed'. His magic power is too exaggerated, isn't it?

Lovesy clicked her tongue.

"...Huh?"

Fortunately, the assistant finally got up and Lovexi walked towards her.

"Name?"

Kitty looked around blankly, as if looking for something.

"Ah? My name is..."

"Don't look, your professor is no longer here."

"Huh?? Dead, dead?"

Kitty burst into tears for a moment.

"..."

Lovesy frowned and added.

"He's not dead, he went to the Wizards' Council, so the name..."

"Huh? Oh, my name is Kitty..."

Lovesy spelled her name deftly and showed it to her.

"Is that how it's written?"

Kitty nodded.

"exactly."

"age."

"I'm 24 years old. By the way, I'm the professor's assistant. I have to rush over quickly..."

"Why are you in a hurry? You are already destined to be late anyway. Just wait for the next train."

30:[-] p.m.

The Wizards' Council will be held at 10 o'clock, and there are only 30 minutes left until the official start.

Olivia strolled back and forth in front of the parliament hall on the fourth floor.

"..."

"Miss Olivia, how was your life at the academy?"

"We'd better go in now. It won't be good if the council is late."

As she walked on the road, people would talk to her from time to time.

Olivia answered roughly casually.

"Ah."

Just like bright lights always attract moths to gather together continuously, this situation is inevitable, and Olivia has long been used to it.

have

As an S-class wizard, it's not surprising that people flatter her no matter how much she does.

"Ah, by the way, the head of the Pod family hasn't arrived yet."

Olivia pricked up her ears. The person speaking was Peng Li, the assistant of the BASF family in Kangong Kingdom.

"If the Pod family is eliminated, it will be a big event."

"A big event? It's not surprising to me. The current head of the Pod family is incomparable to the past. His research also stalled 10 years ago. There are rumors that his talent is nothing to see."

This time, it's not a person from the kingdom, but Ruibang, an assistant from the "Beora" family of the empire.

Olivia's lips trembled when she heard it, but she didn't say anything.

Mortals are always jealous of geniuses. Even if Vickery's talent is a little worse than hers, it's not your turn to look down upon...

Chapter 63 The Wizards’ Council officially begins

"Oh, here it is."

After walking around like this, they finally stood in front of the door of the parliament hall.

The Parliament Hall itself is a magnificent temple. Judging from its tall architecture and long history, it should have been the residence of ancient giants.

"Crench."

As they approached, the door suddenly opened as if to welcome them.

Assistants walked nervously into the hall.

In the spacious conference room, the huge round table was already filled with 11 family heads.

There's only one spot open...Wakele's spot.

Olivia came to Tyne, who smiled at her.

The assistants who had disturbed her before also came to their respective families' positions.

Boom~boom~boom~boom~boom

The five vibrations of the bell represent time.

9:57 pm, 3 minutes remaining.

Olivia felt anxious in her heart.

Sure enough, he hasn't come yet?

Suddenly, a loud voice shook the conference room. Its solemn magic and powerful echo made Olivia's heart skip a beat.

"Thank you for answering the call of Parliament, for which I am deeply grateful..."

Zelidan, who is in the upper seat, was once the most powerful candidate for an S-class mage, with a legend far away from the world.

Just looking at him made Olivia feel very stressed.

Do S-class mage need to reach that level to challenge?

...

Zelidan began to name names one after another.

His voice echoed inside, like a solemn drum, hitting everyone's nerves.

"Tyneer from House Pearl."

"Thanks to the summons of the Council, the head of the Pearl family should respond with honor."

Tyne said calmly.

Olivia is very proud of her father's courage.

"Betan from the Beora family."

"Betan, I would like to say hello to the Council as the sixth generation head of the Beola family."

Zelidan called his names one by one, and representatives of the Pearl, Beola, Wynn and other families responded to his call with unique slogans...

But at some point.

"Wakele from House Pod."

Silence fell in the hall as Zelidan uttered the name.

"Isn't Vickery here yet?"

Zelidan said in the darkness.

Everyone present couldn't help but swallow, an unknown tension was spreading among them.

Although the elimination of the Pod family was somewhat beyond their expectations, everyone was looking forward to this moment.

People can't help but think of Vickrey's usual arrogant behavior and arrogant attitude. This endless farce is finally coming to an end...

The downfall of the Pod family was something everyone was happy to see.

The head of the Wynn family, James, smiled secretly. This former ally of the Pod family, now threatened in public by Weekley, was very happy to witness this scene.
