Victor was sitting in the carriage waiting for the servant's notice, but he heard Vega's low chirping voice.

"Are you interested in that extinct volcano?"

The one-eyed crow was combing its shiny feathers again. Perhaps because its body was too fat, its beak could not reach the back.

Victor glanced at Vega.

"How did you find it?"

Vega raised his head and said confidently.

"Otherwise you would not have come to find this fiancée."

Victor ignored him and acquiesced.

Not long after, Victor was still patient, but Vega couldn't help it first.

"Why hasn't anyone come to call us in?"

The sound of flipping pages stopped, and Victor closed the magic book and said lightly.

"Imagine, if you are a very beautiful woman, alone at home, and someone wants to see you late at night, and this person is your fiancé, what would you do?"

Vega tilted his head and thought for a while, and said hoarsely: "Dress up beautifully and meet in the most exquisite manner?"

"I understand, she saw you coming, so she put on makeup! And you are also very patient waiting for her."

"Wrong, she will only think that such a person is sick and makes her feel bored."

Victor denied it expressionlessly, but it was obvious that the crow was a little dissatisfied.

"Why, I read that in those vernacular novels, it is written like this, don't you understand women?"

"You don't understand Gwen."

Victor turned his head and looked at the gate of the courtyard of the Delin family.

This sacred knight has never regarded himself as a 'woman'.

Well, in fact, Victor himself does not quite understand the current Gwen.

But he thinks that Gwen should hate him during this period of time.

After all, no woman would like a man who has a bad face and is petty every day, and even does all kinds of bad things.

The relationship of an unmarried couple may be a stain on Knight Gwen's life until the end.

So after Victor died, she remained unmarried.

"Get ready, we should go in."

He lowered his head and reminded the crow on his shoulder. The crow quickly put on an appearance of "I am just a pet" and stood lazily on his shoulder without moving.

After a while, the maid came to the carriage and respectfully told him that Miss Gwen was ready and invited him in.

Victor got off the carriage and walked through the gate under the guidance of the maid and was taken to the conference room.

As soon as he came in, he saw Gwen.

The other party was sitting on a soft sofa, not dressed up, wrapped in a tight bathrobe, without revealing any skin.

It seemed that she had just come out of the bath.

But she didn't need to dress up. In Victor's opinion, even if she was just bare-faced, this exquisite and perfect face was enough to capture any man.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Gwen's tone was neither warm nor cold, and there was a sense of alienation.

Victor sat opposite her without any courtesy, and spoke in a flat tone, getting straight to the point.

"I heard that you are going on a mission and won't be back for half a month."

Gwen didn't wonder where he heard it from, and nodded honestly.

"Well, I'll leave in a week."

"Can you take me with you."

Gwen: "..."

Hearing this, her reaction was a little... subtle.

First she was a little confused, and then she frowned, as if she was repeatedly confirming.

Finally, she leaned back, and an expression of disbelief gradually appeared on her face.

Gwen put her hand on her forehead, lowered her head, and asked again.

"Repeat what you just said."

"Can you take me with you."

Without any hesitation, Victor repeated it.

"Huh..."

Gwen exhaled lightly. She always felt that the other party had a broken brain.

"What's the reason?"

"Without a suitable reason, I can't take you with me."

Victor: "I know the terrain of the surrounding mountains very well, including the weaknesses of the monsters distributed around. Take me with you, and you only need seven days to come back, including the round trip."

Hearing his words, Gwen didn't even raise her eyes. It was unclear whether she was considering Victor's value or didn't care at all.

Victor wanted to say something to raise his value in Gwen's eyes, but Gwen spoke first to block his mouth.

"What I want is the truth."

Victor's eyes became colder. Looking at Gwen, he slowly said: "...You used your ability on me."

As a knight born with justice, Gwen Delin has exerted his unique talent since childhood.

She has a heart of justice.

As long as she wants, she can clearly distinguish whether the other party is lying.

This ability, GwenGwen can control herself freely, so she will not use her ability when it is not necessary.

However, she did not believe herself.

Victor did not feel angry, but rather expected it.

Because this indirectly proved how much Gwen hated him.

When talking to him, Gwen even used her sense of justice to measure whether he was lying.

"I don't trust you."

Gwen was very straightforward and did not explain more.

Suddenly, Victor smiled with relief.

He thought for a while, and then said again:

"There is a kind of monster in Mount Vesuvius, which produces a unique crystal. I need that thing to make magic props."

After saying that, Victor's eyes revealed a strong desire.

[First-level magic: self-suggestion]

Effect: Hypnotize yourself, and any ability can be randomly increased by 1 level within a period of time.

It is easy to deal with Gwen's sense of justice. He only needs to tell the truth.

Even if this truth was made up on the spot, as long as Victor believes it, it is the truth.

Mages also have their own means, that is, flexible morality and wise minds.

Gwen finally looked up at Victor.

"It seems that you really understand the volcano, otherwise you wouldn't say such a thing."

"In order to achieve your own goals, even the Royal Knights can be used as your guards."

"You are worthy of it, selfish Victor."

Victor didn't put on a poker face for a long time, and smiled and nodded.

"I will take this sentence as a compliment."

Gwen would never doubt Victor from the perspective of selfishness, because he is such a person.

She also knew that Victor would only become more entangled with her in order to achieve his goals.

In this case, it is better to agree.

"I will apply for a traveling wizard. You can come to see me on the same day."

Seeing Gwen agreed, Victor smiled and said, "Thank you, Knight Gwen, for your selfless help even for a selfish person like me."

"I will arrange everything within this week. No need to send me off."

After that, Victor got up and left.

Gwen nodded and watched him leave.

However, in his head, Victor's smiling face when he complimented him could not be shaken off for a long time.

Victor, have you ever smiled like that?

Back in the carriage, Victor leaned back on the seat calmly, his dark eyes staring at something unknown.

"Are you angry?"

The crow asked doubtfully.

"Why do you think so?"

Vega: "I've been looking at your poker face for a long time. It's just my intuition."

"If you don't have any big emotions, you won't smile as brightly as a chrysanthemum."

Angry?

Hearing what it said, Victor thought for a while.

Maybe the education he had instilled in him made him want to be a good person, but he was so selfish when he was told that by the other party's righteousness.

And he could only get the recognition of that person by pretending to be what she thought he was.

He was not angry.

It just made him feel a little sick.

.....

These days, Victor taught at the academy during the day and buried himself in the basement to study magic potions at night.

As long as there are enough materials, he can make about a hundred bottles a day, and all of them can be sold by Liya.

Liya said that when the store is decorated, these potions will be put on the shelves, and only this kind of potion will be sold for the time being.

You have to build a reputation for the store before you can consider purchasing other magic props.

Of course, Victor knows that once this consumable is put on the shelves, it will definitely cause a frenzy.

So he told Liya not to sell all of them, and limit the number to fifty bottles a day.

Hungry marketing.

Liya herself is a businessman, and she understands it at a glance.

At the academy, Victor was not idle either. On the one hand, he was thinking about the topic of the lecture, and on the other hand, he made a decision.

Every time he taught a class, he would let Heni sit in on it.

In the name of absorbing experience.

Erica would come to his office every night, often with many questions to ask, and more and more frequently.

Although Victor was a little bored, Vega answered them one by one without getting tired of it.

In order to prevent Vega from chattering in his mind all the time, he had to convey everything to Erica.

By the way, he could also make up for his magic knowledge with Vega.

After secretly studying with Vega, he realized that Erica was really a genius.

He couldn't understand Vega's awkward and complicated content at all, but Erica could learn it as soon as she taught him.

Even at this level, she seemed to have countless questions waiting to be asked and answered.

Victor couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

JustErica is a talented and hardworking student. If she doesn't get first place in the exam, who will?

Everything went smoothly. Soon, it was the sixth day he and Gwen agreed to meet.

Heni followed Victor quietly. Today, she would still follow Professor Victor to audit the class.

She didn't quite understand why Professor Victor asked her to audit the class, since it was the course she wrote.

It wasn't until the two of them walked to the door that she finally understood Professor Victor's intentions these days.

"Today, I want you to go in and use your knowledge to teach the students in this class."

Heni: "???"
