Listening to Kefla's words, Gwen's eyes dimmed.

Since childhood, Gwen has been regulated by the laws of the Knights of Justice, and she is righteous and constantly learning the skills of the Knights to strengthen herself.

But her father is different.

Angus Delin.

He is an absolute profiteer who regards his offspring as a tool for him to gain benefits.

Because Gwen could not bring him any benefits due to her integrity as a child, Angus Delin sent Gwen to the Knights to learn combat skills early on and never asked about her again.

This resulted in Gwen having almost no childhood, and she stood out from the endless grinding of fighting and killing since she was a child.

As for Gwen and Victor's engagement?

After Victor's father died, this engagement seemed to have become a joke.

The Clevenna family seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter, after all, Victor was the one who made the decision.

As the head of the family, Victor did not want to fulfill this engagement, so he could naturally choose to ignore it.

And what's even more ridiculous is that

Because Victor became the head of the Cravenna family, and Victor's behavior of being idle for nearly nine years, Gwen's father believed that Victor could not bring benefits to the Delin family.

This engagement was hanging on Gwen and became a transparent existence.

Only some people in the nobles knew that there was an engagement relationship between her and Victor.

Until now.

In a trance, Gwen saw Kefla stretched out a hand and waved it in front of her.

"Gwen? Little Gwen?"

Gwen's eyes gradually focused, looking at Kefla's fingers, and lowered her head:

"Sorry, I lost my mind."

Kefla held her forehead and sighed. She knew how much her sister hated those people in the family.

But even as the eldest sister, she couldn't make the decision on this matter.

"So, do you want to go back?"

Gwen lowered her head, clenched her fists, and did not make any answer.

...

"North?"

Victor sat at the desk, one leg on top of the other, leaning against the back of the leather chair, fiddling with a novelty in his hands.

Those were two iron plates. Leah frowned as she watched Victor engrave strange and exquisite runes on them.

When she looked again, the lines on the iron plates disappeared.

After so many years, Leah had long lost interest in magic.

So she didn't say much, just shrugged and patted the envelope on the desk in front of Victor.

"Uncle Angus said this, whether to go to see you or not, if you don't go, I will help you refuse."

Early this morning, Victor's mansion received a letter from the Delin family in the northern border of the empire.

The content of the envelope was very clear and concise, intending to invite Victor to sit with the Delin family.

His "Uncle Angus" had something to say to him.

Victor put down the iron plate in his hand, supported his elbow on the armrest of the chair, and thought with his head in his hand.

Does he have time now?

He has plenty of time.

After the lecture, the college was on holiday, and he had a long vacation.

But few people outside the capital should know his identity as a professor.

It was not until the great success of the lecture topic yesterday that his title of professor was spread.

But it was only one night.

"It seems that this uncle cares about me very much."

It is normal to think about it carefully. After all, he can become a professor because of Gwen's help.

Maybe the other party invited the power of the family.

But the other party just took advantage of his vacation time to invite him, it is hard not to think that it was premeditated.

So, Victor's answer is...

"Go, why not?"

He slowly opened his eyes and answered lightly.

Liya was very surprised. She didn't expect Victor to agree to participate in such a cumbersome invitation.

She once thought that she came to deliver the message just to show off symbolically.

"Gwen will go back too."

"Oh, you know all this?"

Liya raised her eyebrows. The uncle had indeed informed Gwen.

She might have been ready to go home at this time.

"Notify her, I will go back with her."

"What?"

Liya was a little bit unconvinced by Victor's request.

What happened to her brother recently? Has he become wise?

Although she was a little confused, she turned around and left, and did as she was told.

After Leah left, Vega opened his hazy one eye.

"What do you mean, are you going out to play?"

This crow seemed to treat this as a trip.

But for Victor, this is indeed a trip without any risks.

"Angus Delin wants toInvite me to visit the northern border, and call Gwen back in advance."

"Obviously, he may want to do something about my engagement with Gwen."

Vega looked at Victor with some surprise.

"How can you be so sure?"

Victor pointed to his head and smiled faintly.

"The brain is not used, it can be donated to those in need."

Vega was very angry because he heard that the other party was scolding him for being brainless.

"Why should I use my brain? I'm just a crow."

"No problem, I respect you."

Victor picked up the two iron plates again, engraved with magic, and explained faintly:

"In everyone's eyes, my relationship with Gwen has always been an 'engaged couple'."

"Only this can be the motive of this uncle. "

He called Gwen back in advance, perhaps wanting to say something to Gwen in advance.

Then why not go with Gwen, and deal with it as it comes.

Victor likes to do this.

Finally, something seemed to be engraved on the two iron plates.

Two original forces seemed to be infused into the cards, and the two colors represented the power of "fire" and "wood".

A portrait of "Joker" was also engraved on the back of the iron plate.

Another line of handwriting was engraved on the side.

'joker'

Vega widened his eyes with curiosity and tilted his head to look at the appearance of the two cards.

"Are you serious?"

"Did you really make two big and small jokers? But what's the matter with this portrait? Did you draw two jokers?"

"No. "

Victor tapped the table with his fingers, and the two cards stood up.

There seemed to be a flickering light on the front of the card, vaguely visible, as if the two clowns had life and were staring at the outside world.

A slight energy radiated outward, but it still made people feel that it was a very impressive and powerful aura.

Victor's eyes revealed a smile, and he looked at the two masterpieces with satisfaction.

"It's the trump card."

The card was instantly retracted to Victor's waist, and the energy dissipated into the air without leaving a trace.

Victor stood up, patted Vega, and said lightly:

"Let's go and see Heni."

"I have something to do with her. "

Vega flapped his wings and stood firmly on Victor's shoulders, and quietly left the study with Victor.

During this time, Heni liked to stay in the garden.

After getting the confirmation from the servant, Victor walked towards the garden.

As soon as he entered the garden, he saw the scene in front of him:

Kokot and Heni were mixed in the flowerbed, and Kokot was lying on the clouds.

Kokot slowly built a formation in the air, while drawing, he explained to Heni beside him:

"Here, the rune can be inserted, which will cause the wood element magic to vibrate and make it more flexible. "

"What about here?"

Heni pointed to a blank space in the formation in the air.

"If the rune is linked here, wouldn't it be better to build a new pattern between it and the Kaeya rune? "

"No, no, this will make the vibration of magic irregular. If it is too flexible, it will be unstable. Guess what will happen?"

"Explosion."

"That's right."

As a second-level wizard, Heni can now study and use more profound and complex magic.

The two seemed to be talking about magic in full swing.

After all, Kokot is an old wizard who has lived for who knows how long. As a former councilor, she can definitely be called a "master" in terms of knowledge.

Kokot, who was teaching with her eyes closed, suddenly felt that the sunlight in front of her was much dimmer.

As if she had sensed some crisis, she opened her eyes suddenly.

Victor's face appeared in front of her.

She was immediately alert, and the clouds under her quickly floated back a few points.

"Victor...Victor, why are you here?"

"I told you in advance that I'm on vacation now, don't even think about letting me continue to work! "

Without waiting for Victor to say anything, Kocot kicked the cloud under him, and the cloud turned into a sad face and quickly carried Kocot away.

The moment she saw Victor, Heni, who was extremely surprised, ran towards Victor regardless of Kocot not having walked far away.

"Professor!"

So Victor rubbed Heni's head.

A warm current rose from Heni's heart, and Heni was satisfied.

Although she had become a second-level mage, the experience points contributed by patting her head every day were not too much, but Victor would still do it if he could.

After patting her head, Victor said calmly.

"I will be away for a while in the next few days."

"During this time"I need you to pay more attention to the things at home."

He certainly can't rely on that useless elf. Even a dog can be better at guarding the house than Kokot.

So it's still necessary to ask Heni to help.

Heni was stunned. She wanted to say that Miss Liya was here, but the words turned into:

"Where are you going?"

"The northern border of the empire."

Victor replied indifferently.

"Liya has business in the territory to do, and it's impossible for her to deal with things in the capital all the time."

"If you have any difficulties, go find that elf. She won't be lazy in the face of major issues."

Heni didn't know what to say, and felt a little disappointed, but still nodded.

"Oh."

Will it take a long time to see the professor?

"By the way, give me Lightton. "

Hernie nodded. She never asked any reason for the professor's request.

A ball of red slowly gathered from Hernie's body, and a small crocodile lay on Hernie's shoulder.

It yawned lazily.

"What are we eating today?"

As soon as it asked this question, it saw Victor, who was as cold as an iceberg, and suddenly shuddered.

"Big... Big Brother!"

"Don't get excited, Lighton."

Victor stared at it, stretched out his hand, and took Lighton in his hand.

The small crocodile couldn't move in his palm, and it could only hear one sentence.

"I'll take you to eat something better."

After saying this, Lighton's consciousness retreated into the darkness again and was imprisoned again.

After doing all this, Victor turned around and prepared to leave, but saw Hernie in front of him was a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong, Hernie? "

Since his subordinates are not in good condition, he naturally needs to pay more attention to them.

Hernie just glanced at him furtively, as if she was a little timid, and said in a very soft voice.

"Can you, come closer?"

Victor didn't quite understand, but he still tried his best to meet Hernie's request.

"Like this?"

He was almost in front of Hernie, at this distance, he could hug her as long as he stretched out his hand.

Victor might know what Hernie wanted.

It might be a hug, after all, she liked it very much.

But Hernie didn't do that, she just plucked up her courage slightly, looked up at Victor, and continued:

"Can you, lower your head a little bit?"

"I want to talk to you. "

It must be too shy, some words are hard to say.

Victor did as he was told, bending down as much as possible.

Even so, Heni still had to tiptoe to put her mouth close to Victor's ear.

And she did it.

She tried to tiptoe, wanting to whisper something to Victor.

Before Victor could make any response, it was like a delicate bird pecking at the tree.

When he came to his senses, there was already a trace of moisture on his cheek.

He was slightly startled and looked forward.

In the green leaves, the shy girl stood tall, her face flushed and smiling slightly.

"Professor."

"I like you."

The wind passed by her ears, and the girl left in panic.

Only the softness that had been left on her face remained.

Clean than the wind.
