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

[Wakele's private auction: dark carpet, rune ring, ancient robe...]

During this period, he strengthened all the collections of his predecessor that could be strengthened, and held auctions through the appraisal shop after the previous acquisition.

These magic props

The effect is very powerful. If he wasn't in a hurry to spend money, he really wouldn't want to sell it. A total of six items can probably make a profit of about 6000 million galleons.

The follow-up products will follow in a few days, and the [-] million funds will be collected soon.

"Dong dong."

It happened that the housekeeper knocked on the door, and Vickery got up from his chair to open the door, and then went downstairs with the housekeeper.

"Are there 8 places in total?"

Vickery asked.

"Yes, I found the corresponding bosses one by one according to your list."

"Let's go then."

He has a lot of places to go today, and the purpose is naturally to make money.

The two got on the carriage and arrived at the city center of the imperial capital.

The first destination is the 'Feng Yu' jewelry store in the center of the imperial capital. The owner is an enchanter and a jewelry sculptor.

"Ah! You are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

The female shopkeeper looked surprised and enthusiastically made a cup of scented tea.

Vickery immediately signed an investment contract with her, with a total amount of 200 million galleons. In return, he had 30% of the shares and the right of first refusal.

Yes, he is here to invest. Although this jewelry store is inconspicuous, it is a famous store in the game, and high-quality jewelry often appears.

He had lost all of his previous collection, so he had to replenish some supply and strengthen it.

Otherwise, garbage will still be garbage no matter how hard it is strengthened.

And whether it is purchasing for reprocessing or investment sharing, he will never lose money if he knows the system correctly.

After that, Weekly went to blacksmith shops, dungeon adventure groups, hotels, underground black merchants, etc... He invested in all the famous NPCs in the game and places where rare props would appear.

There were eight of them in total, costing him a total of 1800 million galleons. He believed that this investment would bring him doubled income in the near future.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

Vickery got into the carriage and drove home.

Looking at the sunset outside the window, he thought of Alice, and wondered whether she had successfully succeeded to the throne...

However, back at the mansion, the carriage had just stopped, and the steward's urgent voice came from the front.

"Owner!"

Chapter 110 The Right Person

"Wakele Pod, this is an order from His Majesty. Please accept it quickly."

"……Yes."

Weekley knelt down half-kneeling. Kevin raised his eyebrows but said nothing, and then read out the decree.

"As the chief professor of the empire and also Lord Pod, you are given the honor of having a dialogue with the current majesty and sharing magical knowledge... But before that, you need to solve the puzzle written by the court wizard Geodin to gain true knowledge. "

"Do you want to challenge? If you are not strong enough, it doesn't matter if you give up. You are not the only candidate."

Kevin said lightly.

Weekley stood up. Although he didn't want to take part in the test, as long as the game was about the royal family and Yekarina, the mission rewards would be very generous, which he couldn't refuse.

"Why not?"

"very good."

Kevin handed a scroll and opened it to see that the long scroll was filled with magic circles.

Vickery took a look, and with the activation of the Master's Heart, the answer suddenly appeared.

It only cost less than 4000 magic points.

A fairly familiar topic.

Vickery silently used magic to write the correct answer on the scroll.

'I am the court wizard Geaudin. Congratulations on solving this problem...'

With the input of magic power, the scroll made a sound.

Knight Kevin and the guard who were about to leave were so frightened that they immediately turned around.

Kevin asked in disbelief.

"...Has it been untied?"

"Ah."

"How is it possible? Geaudin has been talking about it for several days..."

'I thought it would take at least two or three days, but I didn't expect you to solve it so quickly. This is magic written using ancient runes. Is the question simple? '

The voice in the scroll was also confused.

"...It's a very difficult question. I'm just lucky. It happened that I happened to be studying ancient runes recently."

Vickery said in a deep voice.

"..."

Kevin fell silent for a moment. Did Vickery's problem-solving process last 5 minutes?

'It's really a terrible life. I spent half my life studying rune magic. I didn't expect you to understand it at such a young age...'

The sound in the scroll continued, and Kevin came back very embarrassed.

"Ahem, Vickery Pod, congratulations on passing the test. This is an invitation from the royal family."

Kevin took out a gold-gilt card with the royal seal from his pocket.

"Thank you."

Vickery maintained his elegance and politely bent slightly to take it.

---

In the solemn palace.

In the hidden secret room full of various ancient books and unique unique books, Yekarina received Kevin's report.

"Is that so? Then is it necessary to prepare for other assessments? Can't we just choose Vickrey?"

"I think it needs further observation."

Kevin lowered his head.

"What are you observing? Didn't it only take him ten seconds to untie it?"

"It's 5 minutes."

"What's the difference between ten seconds and five minutes?"

"...30 times." Kevin whispered.

Looking at Kevin, who was different from the previous cold and timid talk back, Yekarina burst out laughing.

Kevin only felt very embarrassed and lowered his head even further.

"You like the woman named Evelin more than Vickrey, right?"

"...It has nothing to do with emotions. I just simply believe that as His Majesty's teacher, his character must be good. Professor Wakely has many bad rumors. In contrast, Evelin also solved the problem."

"Oh? It took Evelin 3 minutes to untie it?"

"...That's not true. It took her three hours."

Kevin felt a little guilty.

"Hmph, the difference between 10 minutes and 5 hours is bigger than the difference between 5 seconds and 3 minutes. Also, don't discuss the rumors about Weekly in front of me. I only believe what I see with my own eyes."

After speaking, Yekarina looked at the question herself.

"..."

He searched the topic carefully with cold eyes.

Tick, tick.

……

Time passed minute by minute, and when it was exactly 5 minutes, Yekarina raised her head.

"I can't solve it... When he comes, I really have to ask him how he did it."

"……Yes."

Kevin nodded.

Yekarina's words had already determined the outcome, and Vickrey won.

"By the way, isn't the knight assessment over yet?"

Ekarina asked.

"No, to be precise, it hasn't started yet. Due to some reasons, it is still under preparation."

"Oh? Some reasons? Is it because the person in charge of the assessment was injured?"

Yekarina's tone was very playful.

Isaac Fajos.

The deputy commander of the Royal Knights, it is said that he was injured while inspecting the Garalon mining area.

But in fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Isaac is opposing the emperor's opening of Galalon.

"Yes, I'm looking for other suitable candidates."

"The right person...ah!"

Yekarina suddenly showed a malicious smile.

"I have a great idea."

"..."

Kevin didn't know if it was a good idea, but he was sure someone was going to be in trouble...

"Let Vickery serve as the prosecutor. I heard that there are many acquaintances of his? I believe it will be interesting then..."

Facing the emperor's joke-like proposal, Kevin sighed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chapter 111 A Familiar Man

It was snowing in June, and the white snow was falling. In such unusual weather, there were no pedestrians on the street.

The street lamp that uses the magic stone to illuminate shivered, and its long shadow seemed to be frozen into ice.

"Okay, then it's my turn to draw the cards~"

In the lounge of the Frost Star Knights, the game of drawing the Ghost King is in full swing.

Team member Cindy reached out to the cards in Yula's hand.

It's the last round, and there are only three cards left on the field.

"Captain?"

"What's wrong."

Yula's face was very calm.

But in fact, from the moment Cindy put her hand on the ghost card, her heart was beating rapidly.

to win!

"This is a ghost card, right?"
