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

Theoretically, in Serelda Canyon, his magic recovery speed was enough for all the equipment on his body to be strengthened with the hands of a fanatical alchemist.

But in the end, during the six hours of the return trip, he only strengthened a part of the mithril metal and then stopped.

The process of absorbing and purifying magic power placed a great burden on his body, especially his mental energy.

Weekly could feel that after this battle, his personality had become closer to his predecessor, and the power of blood was eroding his personality...

If you continue to use it without restriction, sooner or later you will become another 'Vickle'.

He didn't want to stay in this canyon for a second longer.

"Let's go back to Lambasa."

Wu Zhui ran wildly.

Vickery sat in the saddle and couldn't help but doze off.

Wu Zhui realized that his master was tired, so he consciously slowed down the speed and vibration so as not to disturb his rest.

When Vickrey opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at the Lord's Mansion.

"..."

Originally, he had no intention of coming here, but now that he is here, he wants to see the previous room.

"Ah, my lord!"

Vickrey handed Wu Zhui to the guard in front of the door, and then entered the lord's mansion.

Led by an attendant, he arrived at 'Wakele's' room.

"Is it here?"

"Yes."

"I haven't been back for a long time. I kind of forgot. You go down first."

Vickery opened the door. The interior of the room was very neat and there was nothing special about it, but a book on the bookshelf caught his attention.

“…”

There is no title, but judging from the magic power it exudes, it is a magic tool.

And looking at it, I actually feel very familiar.

Obviously, this is something from the predecessor.

Vickery put it in his pocket and walked out.

---

Afterwards he stopped by the lord's office.

"Dong dong."

After knocking on the door, Vickery directly opened the door and walked in.

"What are you doing!"

As soon as the door opened, a roar came from inside.

Tia frowned and looked at him.

"Why didn't you knock on the door?"

"I knocked."

"But I haven't said you can come in yet, really..."

Vickrey discovered that there was a calculation paper filled with writing in front of Tia's desk, as if she was solving some problem.

"what are you doing."

"...It's this month's academic magazine."

It is more appropriate to say it is an academic magazine than a magic problem competition. Wizards will ask each other questions and enjoy the pleasure of solving problems.

The first person to solve it will receive a bonus from the magazine. Although it's not much, it's still a bonus.

The most important thing is that the magazine contains questions from great wizards of all ages, which is very challenging.

His family also subscribed to this magazine, but Weekly never thought of answering it.

Because this is a complete waste of time, even if these boring academic problems are solved, there will be no improvement.

"give me

Look, let me see what the question is. "

"..."

Tia handed it over silently.

Weekly immediately activated his Master's Heart. Even with his current magical attainments, it took him more than 2000 magic points to fully understand this question.

"That's not a bad question."

Suddenly, the system's notification sounded.

[Extra task completed: solving academic problems]

Reward: Maximum magic power +2 points

"……Um?"

"What's wrong? Can't you untie it?"

Tia said somewhat boredly.

"……nothing."

Just after doing a question, did the upper limit of magic power increase by 2 points?

Although he was confused, Vickery returned the magazine.

Tiya's eyes widened when she received the magazine. The correct answer had already been filled in the answer column.

"Hey! You! Why did you write down the answer! I've been calculating for more than two hours...!"

"I solved the question that you didn't solve for two hours in just one minute. Tia, it's not me who has the problem, it's you."

Vickery shook his finger.

"Damn it, are you showing off?! You are definitely showing off! I'm obviously going to untie it too!"

Tia was so angry that she jumped up and down.

Vickrey smiled slightly, turned around and left. Tia screamed behind him, but he was in a good mood.

Although the increase in magic power is only 2 points, it opens up a new direction for him. Perhaps the magic power he urgently needs can be alleviated...

[Magic power: 2154/4602]

Chapter 105 He is like a monster

As an independent principality, the Principality of Frey is not controlled by any king or emperor.

With its geographical advantages of being close to the sea to the southwest and mountains to the northeast, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Principality of Frey developed its own culture.

Frey Park, which attaches great importance to commerce, has a very developed trade. Driven by the economy, it has spawned its own unique art academy that cultivates writers and musicians.

……

Late at night, in the center of the Principality of Frei, the castle where the Grand Duke lives.

As the Grand Duke and the Minister of the Interior, Duke Brandon called Ruisa to his office.

"Grand Duke, do you have anything to do with me?"

"...Where's Alice?"

The expression on Brandon's face was serious.

"Just fell asleep."

Ruisa replied with a tired look on her face.

Brandon sighed, frowned in annoyance, and pointed to the chair.

"Sit down, I have something to tell you."

Ruisa sat down, feeling a little uneasy.

Isn't even the Principality of Frey willing to accept Alice?

"What do you mean?" Ruisa asked as calmly as possible.

"Don't be too surprised."

Ruisa swallowed and prepared for the worst.

...

But in the next moment, what Brandon said completely surpassed her cognition.

"I hope that Alice will take over my position as Grand Duke."

"……what?"

Ruisa opened her mouth wide and didn't dare to blink. Was she hallucinating because she was too tired?Or are you dreaming?

"...can you say it again?"

"I had this idea as early as when I wrote back to Alice. After all, none of my grandchildren are decent. If they inherit it, I'm afraid of ruining the legacy of several generations."

"No, I still don't quite understand what you are saying...will the princess really succeed the next Grand Duke?"

"Yes."

Brandon smiled bitterly.

"Is that possible?"

"Of course it's possible. Alice is my direct descendant, and she was the second in line to inherit three years ago."

"However, a princess may not be able to bear the weight of the crown. After all, Alice is too kind..."

Hearing Ruisa's words, Brandon shook his head.

"I never thought you had an innocent side."

"Me? Naive?"

Ruisa asked doubtfully.

"But no matter what, this is top secret. Only you and I know about this matter at the moment. It needs to be kept secret."

"Yes, that's for sure, but..."
