"But judging by your reaction, it seems that the duke really didn't do it. I'll tell you how he, a duke, would use such a poor method."

The man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but Liya waved his hand directly.

"Okay, get rid of him, Leon."

"Don't forget to dismantle his body organs, and you can sell some money, oh yes, and his accomplices, all of them are disposed of, and no one is left."

Liya patted the man's face, smiling like a devil.

The man's body trembled constantly, and he struggled in fear, wanting to say something.

But in the next second, Liya turned her palm lightly, and a bottle of potion appeared in her hand.

The blue potion shone with dazzling luster under the light.

"It's a pity, even if you sell all your organs, your value can't compare to a commodity from my family."

She looked at him with a smile, and the potion swayed back and forth in front of his eyes.

"Of course, this thing worth a thousand Geos is the same as you in my eyes."

"Worthless."

Snapped!

In the next second, the medicine bottle hit his face and shattered with a 'bang'.

He only felt a lot of liquid dripping from his numb face.

The red and blue potions were intertwined, making it hard to tell whether it was blood or potion that flowed.

"Crazy...you are a lunatic! Let me go, let me go!"

The man's voice trembled, and his eyes widened.

Under the double torture of spirit and body, he has already changed beyond recognition.

Seeing the look on his face, Liya couldn't help laughing again.

A beautiful smile, but penetrates into the heart like a devil.

In the bloodshot eyes of the man, she yawned, turned around and said lightly:

"Fix it early."

"Yes."

.......

After about a few hours, Leon took care of everything.

She sneaked into Victor's study through the window. Now that Victor is not there, Liya is sitting at the desk, dealing with the latest accounts.

There was no one else in the room, and Leon took off her hood, revealing short pale blond hair and long pointed ears.

Just this unusual ear can already prove her identity.

Elf.

"Miss, it's all cleaned up."

Liya didn't raise her head, but she already knew who was coming, and smiled.

"Thanks a lot."

"My pleasure, Miss Lia."

Leon continued: "I collected a lot of money from those people, and went to their stronghold to search around. These people recently received a lot of money, about [-] Geo."

Liya took the money bag from Leon, weighed it and put it aside.

"The number is really quite a lot, that person is not lying."

Leon raised her head and couldn't help asking:

"Is it really not the Duke's order?"

Liya's hands stopped, and she couldn't help laughing out loud. After closing the ledger, she looked at her with a smile:

"You believe it too?"

"what?"

She said with a smile: "Even if the Duke's suspicion is reduced to the lightest, it does not mean that he has cleared his suspicion."

"We just added a direction of suspicion, but the fact that the Duke still hates us has not changed."

"Maybe someone is interfering in it, deliberately provoking the conflict between us, Cravenna and the Duke, and the people behind will benefit from it."

"Or maybe the Duke is simply unhappy seeing us. After all, there is no need for a king to have two youngest third-tier mages."

Leon didn't understand the calculations among these nobles, so she paused and asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

"Why, you didn't continue to interrogate him?"

"He won't say it, because he doesn't know who the instigator is."

Liya flicked the money bag with her hand, and there was a "jingle, jingle, ding" sound from inside.

"The transaction with money is enough to show that the other party is not an important member, so he can only insist that the Duke did it."

Leah added:

"Why do you think the Duke's daughter came back to Dongcheng District? And she happened to meet the gang of shop-breakers?"

"In the end, do we have to spend a lot of money to compensate us for the broken medicine?"

Leon frowned when she heard what she said. She still felt a little weird when she heard that Erica had spent tens of thousands of Jiou for compensation.

Can a person be so kind?

"I can't believe her words."

Liya spread her hands and said helplessly.

"I have lived with Victor for more than ten years. I am very familiar with what kind of person he is."

"Although he has the talent to learn magic, it's still half a lifetime too early for him to teach. I'm afraid when I was in the academy, I relied on the speeches written by the teaching assistant, and he just gave a casual lecture in front of me."

"Erica actually said she was his student, what can Victor teach her?"

......

At the same time, Vega, who was far away in the town of Sanchel, sneezed.

Victor glanced at him, crows still have colds?

But now he doesn't have much time to care about the crow that catches a cold.

They arrived at a small town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, where they could only find one hotel.

The knights don't have to worry too much about where they live, they can even sleep at the post overnight on the back of their horses.

But Gwen is a woman and at the same time their respected knight commander, so the knights asked Gwen to spend a night in the hotel to keep her spirits up.

In the same way, Victor is a mage.

He also needs a good sleeping environment to replenish his mental strength.

So the two had to go to the hotel together.

It was agreed to have two rooms, but...

"Boss, is there really only one room left?"

Gwen looked a little anxious, which seemed a little funny to Victor.

It was the first time for him to see such an unstable side of the other party.

At this moment, she wished she could immediately build a new house on the open land.

The boss is also very helpless.

"Master Knight, how dare I deceive you? There is really only one big bed room left."

"What's more, I think the two men and women are together. They should be partners. It's no problem to live in the same room."

Gwen anxiously wanted to say something more, but Victor interrupted her by speaking ahead of time.

"Just this room, it's fine."

Hearing Victor's words, Gwen's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

Chapter 16

Gwen and Victor stood at the door of the room and looked inside.

"Why did you agree to come down? We should ask again, or wait a little longer..."

Victor glanced at her, then said:

"Remember what you came here for."

"You didn't come here to sleep on vacation."

Hearing Victor's words, Gwen shook her head and calmed down.

But obviously, it’s a bit difficult to live alone in a room with a man and a woman alone at night...

And there's only one bed, and it's huge.

Gwen frowned and struggled for a while, and offered:

"I'll sleep on the floor."

Victor nodded and agreed.

"can."

Gwen froze for a moment.

Although she is a knight, it doesn't matter where she sleeps in armor.

But Victor's reaction...

Made her feel a little uncomfortable.
