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

"...?"

Olivia turned around in surprise. She didn't know what to thank her for, but Vickery's tone was very sincere.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Although this magic was created by him, due to his own limitations, he was unable to use any magic other than the control system.

This was the first time he had seen the scenery in front of him...

Familiar pictures, but there is a sense of sadness in the nostalgia.

"Ah."

Olivia nodded and turned around again to find herself in this dreamy scenery.

Over time, she felt the water droplets flowing on her cheeks.

warm.

It was the first time since her mother's death that she cried.

"..."

Olivia wiped away her tears and turned around.

Only to find that Vickery had already left.

She just wanted to say thank you...

Chapter 84: Your Majesty, it’s time for you to come forward

"Dong dong."

With a knock on the door, Kitty opened the door of Laboratory 73.

In this room filled with the aroma of coffee, Sophie was sitting there.

In the messy room, test papers engraved with magic cores were scattered on the ground...

She was on the right track, and was even close to Olivia's answer, but in the end she failed.

"Sophie Corbett, the time has come."

"!"

Sophie, who was curled up, suddenly raised her head and saw Kitty...

"Ah, is it?"

She scratched her head and smiled awkwardly.

"Unfortunately."

Kitty smiled back.

Sophie hesitated shyly.

"Associate professor, this, this question..."

"Oh, no problem. Professor Weekly has specifically told me that I will give you a new test paper with confidentiality magic, but it will require a drop of your blood."

"Huh, thank you."

Sophie breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, packed up her writing tools, notes, clothes, etc., and walked out of the laboratory.

Kitty walked her to the elevator.

"Don't be discouraged Sophie, you did very well on this exam."

"...Thank you, Associate Professor Kitty, for your hard work during this time."

Sophie bowed deeply, and the bag on her back fell from her head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Hey, it's okay."

Kitty smiled sheepishly.

"The test papers will be delivered in three days, and I will personally give you 10 pieces of magic calculation paper!"

"Ah, really, thank you..."

Hey~

By chance, the elevator arrived.

"Don't worry. Problems that don't exist now will be solved one day. Don't push yourself too hard just because of a temporary failure... maybe trying once a week is enough?"

Kitty didn't know what she was talking about, but Sophie generally understood, and she smiled and nodded.

The bright smile looks very cheerful.

"Well, once a week, I'll do my best."

"Mmmm, come on!"

For some reason, Kitty looked at her with envy.

"Goodbye~"

Sophie waved to Kitty until the elevator doors closed.

however.

Ding--

The smile quickly faded from her face as the door closed.

"..."

Sophie huddled in the corner of the elevator, shaking her shoulders and punching the wall with her fists.

Boom!Boom!

Ding--

The elevator stopped at the 25th floor. At first she thought the elevator was broken.

But the door opened normally, and at 12 midnight, a group of wizards walked into the elevator.

Wizard assistant to major professors.

No, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say slave.

Ding--

The elevator stopped again on the 19th floor.

Ding--

Stopped again on the 12th floor.

The small elevator was filled with 20 wizards, and the crowd was almost suffocating.

"Ah, I really want to sleep. When can you let me go back?"

"Stop pushing, there's someone in the corner."

"Speaking of which, the professor has to give grades recently. I wonder if I can become a full-time employee..."

"Who knows."

"I told you not to push!"

"..."

Amidst the wizards' thoughts, Sophie was tortured to the first floor.

"Wow!"

She was almost squeezed out and felt an almost anemic dizziness.

Da da da.

Dragging heavy steps, Sophie arrived at the exit of the mage tower, but the low threshold became the biggest obstacle.

My legs were so heavy that I could no longer lift them up.

She couldn't walk anymore.

Sophie had no choice but to stand quietly, helpless...

"Hey! Sophie!"

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

Sophie raised her head and saw Judy leading everyone towards her.

This club she joined just for fun, everyone was waiting for her at the door.

"..."

Sophie couldn't bear the sight before her.

She opened her eyes wide, and the world was changing from clear to blurry.

Suddenly, something suddenly fell from the eye socket and lightly scratched his cheek, leaving a zigzag mark on the dry skin.

The tears she had finally held back burst into tears, but her heart became clear and clear at that moment...

"Stop crying Sophie~ Let's go to dinner, or go to my house. I've prepared a Hawker boar."

"Is there really a Hawke boar..."

Sophie sobbed.

Judy held her up, and the group left the mage tower together.

"Stop crying. If you cry again, I won't give it to you."

"...I didn't cry. When did I cry?"

-----

At the same time, the palace, which is dazzling all year round, is shrouded in darkness...

The gates of the imperial city were closed tightly, and the attendants put on white clothes.

In the vast and spacious hall.

In the center of the floor was a red carpet that only the emperor could walk on. All the ministers and officials, including the Imperial Guardian Knights, knelt on both sides.

The dying Emperor, Christos, sat on the throne for what would be his last time.

This is Christo's wish. He would rather sit up and leave than die in bed.

Silence fell in the hall, and Christo's breathing disappeared...

The ministers and knights held back tears, but there were still sobs that seemed to be suffocating from time to time.

The knights placed the body in a wooden coffin. According to the emperor's will, his funeral was to be simple.

From now on, the palace gates will be closed to the public for the customary three days of mourning.

Three days later, the princes of the kingdom and the heads of the major families will gather in the main hall to witness the succession ceremony of the new emperor.

Just moments before the emperor died.

Ekarina Farhos, the first in line to succeed the royal family, is deep in thought in the study.

"Your Highness."

Kevin, the knight next to Yekarina, said.

Yekarina focused her eyes on him, her beautiful eyebrows lightly furrowed, and her crimson pupils lazily sunk.

"Shouldn't you call me Your Majesty now?"

"His Majesty is not dead yet."

Yekarina burst out laughing.

"His time is coming. It doesn't matter if it's one minute earlier or one minute later."

"..."

Kevin silently handed over a document containing test questions he collected from various places.

“Here’s your homework this month.”
