Sitting in this position, it is impossible for Levi to act childishly.

The empire doesn't allow it, and the situation as a duke doesn't allow it.

"Sorry, Erica."

……

By the time Victor returned home, it was already late at night. After returning to the garden, Victor had just stretched his body when he saw a servant walking towards him.

"My lord, your sister has something to ask you to go to the study."

After the servant said that, he left in a hurry.

Victor frowned.

It's so late, the visitor is not kind...

Pushing open the door of the study room, Liya sat on the chair and had been waiting for a long time.

"what's the matter?"

Victor asked his sister, but Liya's angry eyes responded to him.

"See for yourself!"

Liya slapped a consumption bill on the table in front of Victor.

The table shook with Liya's slap.

"So angry?"

Victor glanced at Liya lightly, and picked up the bill.

It contains detailed records of Victor's consumption records. He spent a large amount of money to purchase materials, and a large amount of money disappeared mysteriously.

Of course, Victor knew where the money was going.

Buy materials, learn magic...

The former is easy to say, but the latter is a right that only players can enjoy, and of course Liya can't find it.

However, is the family short of money?

"The income from the territory has not been very smooth recently, and you still squander it so recklessly? Do you want to suck up the last drop of blood from the territory?"

Liya stood up, poked Victor's chest with a finger, and scolded Victor fiercely.

"Explain to me!"

Chapter 8 My house is big, you can just sleep when you are tired

After Victor calmly looked at the bill, he gently placed it on the table.

"Liya, what are the sources of income for the territory?"

Hearing Victor's question, Liya tilted her head and squinted at him.

As if she was looking at a fool, she laughed softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"As a lord, you don't even know the source of income from your territory?"

Although Victor really didn't know, this did not prevent Liya from laughing at him as a lord who was 'not worthy of his name'.

"Listen well, we, the Cravenners, mainly earn food and ore!"

In Liya's explanation, Victor understood a general idea.

Under the name of the Cravenna family, there is a territory named 'Clavenna'.

The land is fertile and surrounded by lush forests.

The territory is about [-] kilometers away from the royal capital, and it only takes one day to drive a horse-drawn carriage.

It is for this reason that the second most prosperous town in the empire is located here.

Cravenna owns a very fertile mineral vein, which is enough to be exploited for more than fifty years even now.

The geographical location is close to the royal capital, the land is fertile, the grain is harvested abundantly, and the family has a mine.

It's hard for the Klevener family to have no money.

"But the ore production has been much less recently, and it is not the harvest season for food now. The food we sold before was all stored in the granary last year."

Liya faced Victor with an angry tone.

"We have to ensure the consumption of food in our territory. It is impossible to sell out all the food. The income of the territory is very low now. How dare you spend money like this at this juncture!"

Victor nodded after hearing this, without showing any expression on his face, but was very calm.

"Don't you have any thoughts of repentance?"

Liya looked at Victor in disbelief. She knew that her brother just didn't care, but he didn't know anything.

Victor thought for a while, stroked his chin and responded to her:

"You hire a few mages, then buy a store in the most prosperous part of the royal capital and open a mage props shop."

Liya was immediately furious when she heard Victor's suggestion and said sharply:

"Victor! Didn't you listen to a word of my advice!"

"Do you think this kind of shop is rare in the capital!?"

"So what if you open a store!? Do you think your name is bigger than all the businesses?"

"Victor, do you know how to do business?"

Liya became more and more excited as she talked.

She thought that after her parents died, she had learned to manage the territory since she was a child, and she had maintained it for more than ten years. Until now, the territory still has some leeway.

No matter how much Victor was ruined, she never complained.

And now, Victor, who doesn't understand anything, wants to intervene in the family's business!

What the hell is he going to do!

As he spoke, he felt more and more aggrieved.

Seeing that he couldn't calm Liya's emotions with words, Victor didn't want to say anything more. He just waved his hand, and dozens of bottles of blue magic potion appeared on the table in front of the two.

Liya was taken aback for a moment, looking at the sea-blue potion on the table, the emotion that was just about to explode suddenly stopped.

"what is this?"

She blinked.

Today, no one has seen such a magic potion.

Items that restore magic power exist, but they all have one thing in common.

Rare and very expensive.

And there have only been potions for healing injuries on the market, and their effects are very different from the [Life Potion] used by players.

One is a slow repair similar to drinking medicine, and the other is to restore health immediately after taking it.

This is the difference between reality and game props.

To put it bluntly, if you put game items into reality, they are pure bugs.

Even a small bottle of instant recovery magic potion can become a god-level prop.

So Victor didn't explain, and it was still too unbelievable coming out of his mouth.

Seeing is better than hearing.

Victor ordered calmly.

"Go find a few mages and let them cast spells until they are exhausted, and then take a bottle, and you will know what to do."

Liya was extremely suspicious, but she still took all the potions.

"By the way, do you have any help?"

Hearing Victor's question, Liya smiled contemptuously: "Yo, our great lord has learned to be considerate of his servants?"

Victor didn't care about the other party's cynicism. Speaking of which, the disagreement between their brother and sister was also related to Victor's inaction.

So, he just repeated his question.

"Seriously, have you hired bodyguards or other helpers for your caravan?"

Liya snorted coldly.

"No, I can't trust others."

In other words, Liya has always been handling the business led by Cravenna.

"Will there be any danger on the road? Although the territory is not far from the capital, it is still a whole day's journey."

Liya was surprised that her unreliable brother actually cared about her, but this kind of care made her a little uncomfortable.

She leaned against the table, stretched out a finger to wrap around the end of her hair, and turned her face away unnaturally.

"Hmm... no, we have our own trade routes. If we encounter thieves or something like that, just show our Cravenna family crest, and the people on the other side will recognize each other and leave. Usually, nothing will happen."

"At least I haven't encountered any danger before."

After that, she didn't look at Victor, but took out a bottle of potion and looked at it carefully.

Victor nodded, and then took off the mage's hand on his right hand.

"Listen, Liya, it's unusual to open a store in the capital this time. This kind of precious item is very easy to be coveted by others. Wearing it, you can face some emergencies."

Liya looked at the gloves that Victor handed over, put down the medicine bottle, and was a little tangled.

"Don't worry, this is just a mage's prop, it will automatically fit the size of your palm."

Liya thought that was not what she cared about, but she couldn't explain it, so she reached out and took the fingerless gloves, which still had the residual warmth of Victor's palms.

She touched the gemstone on the glove, and a burst of resentment suddenly rose in her heart.

As a businessman, she naturally understands what is on it.

Magic stones, gems that can transmit magic, each piece is worth millions...
