Out of interest, Weijia borrowed the pendant and said he wanted to study it.

But obviously, it didn't work out anything.

Victor took the hourglass pendant and put it around his neck.

"Did you already know what this thing is?"

Vega looked at Victor suspiciously, but he kept a poker face and responded:

"do not know."

Hearing Victor's perfunctory answer, Vega was so angry that his teeth itch.

To be honest, it is very envious of Gwen's ability to see through the truth and lies of others, and it also wants one.

Victor glanced at it and said sarcastically:

"Don't think about it, you are not righteous at all."

Vega wished he could peck off Victor's head, and said dissatisfiedly:

"No wonder you're so annoying."

........

The Wangdu was extremely quiet at night, and the moonlight quietly climbed onto the roof.

Outside the balcony of Victor's study, a figure passed through the moonlight and entered the study through the window.

Liya leaned against the table, looking at the moonlight tonight, wondering what she was thinking.

Leon jumped in, flipped up her hood, revealing her sharp ears.

"Miss Liya, I followed the butler of Duke Levi for a week, and I can confirm that the money transaction was made by the butler of the Duke's mansion."

"The butler has no motive to provoke the Cravenas. I think this is Duke Levi's instruction."

After listening to Leon's report, Liya smiled softly, with a bit of contempt on her lips.

The moonlight shone on her face, making it look extraordinarily cold.

"Duke Levi is already in danger at this time. It doesn't matter whether he did that thing or not."

Leon was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What? What's going on?"

Liya touched the black wooden table and said slowly:

"Some time ago, the mages who went to Mount Vesuvius collectively praised the emperor and impeached Duke Levi."

"The reason is that the Duke wants to kill all the mages present."

Leon heard her explanation and couldn't figure it out.

How could Duke Levi do such a reckless thing that would affect the reputation of the royal family in public?

"But that's what he did."

"Duke Levi has admitted that, as the leader of war magic, he stopped maintaining the magic array."

"If the volcano erupted completely at that time, all the mages present would die."

Leon was a little puzzled: "But didn't the volcano erupt in the end? Why did they impeach the Duke?"

When Liya heard her words, she could only smile and shook her head, and said helplessly, "You really don't understand the human world."

"In the eyes of these noble mages, of course, you can only feel at ease if you take control of your life."

"The Duke of Levi, whom they trusted the most, betrayed them at the most critical time. Regardless of whether the volcano erupted at the time, Duke Levi did not continue to maintain the magic circle. This has committed a serious crime."

"It's just luck this time. The volcano was prevented from erupting by a suspected special force, but what if the volcano really erupts?"

A gleam flashed in Liya's eyes.

"At that time, the people who died were not only the mages, but also thousands of innocent people under the mountain."

Leon suddenly realized, but at this moment, Liya still had time to chat and laugh.

"It's just a pity, these mages are busy impeaching the Duke, no one comes to me to buy medicine."

"I still want to make a good fortune before Victor comes back."

Leon noticed Liya's lowered eyes, and it seemed that she really felt pity.

Leon opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then paused.

So Liya stretched out her hand, tapped her head, and said with a smile:

"Are you trying to say, don't make me wait any longer? Victor will definitely not come back?"

Leon covered her head and said nothing, but her eyes had already betrayed her thoughts.

"There is a saying among human beings that good people don't live long, but evil people stay for thousands of years."

"People like Victor are the latter. Unless someone brings his body in front of me, I will never believe that he is dead."

"Absolutely not."

Leon still wanted to say something to persuade Liya, but suddenly, she felt a powerful and familiar aura, which appeared at the door.

Her ears moved, which was detected by Liya, which was a signal that someone was approaching and detected by the elves.

"It's Victor's breath! He's back!"

"See?"

Leah smiled brightly.

"I just said he wouldn't die."

Leon lowered her head, put the hood back on, and nodded to Liya.

Hiding his figure, maintaining an aura that would never be noticed by anyone, he jumped straight out of the window.

At this time, the servant's surprised voice sounded from outside the door.

"Master, you...are you back?"

"Well, take this horse down and feed it well."

"Yes! I'll go right now!"

As the footsteps got closer, they suddenly stopped, and then the door of the study was pushed open.

Liya leaned against the table, looking at Victor with a smile on her face.

"Welcome home."

Victor nodded expressionlessly, just walked into the study, and then looked around.

Finally, his eyes locked on Liya.

"Are you hiding someone?"

"........"

Liya's smile froze, and then gradually collapsed.

Chapter 28 Am I Like That Kind of Bad Guy Who Knocks on Girls' Doors in the Middle of the Night?

"Victor!!! Do you really want to be scolded that much!"

A roar echoed through the courtyard from the mansion.

When the servant outside the door heard it, he shrank his neck in fright.

They whispered to each other: "Mr. Victor and the lady are quarreling again."

"What a long-lost quarrel..."

The two shook their heads, they had long been used to it.

As long as Victor is at home, Miss Liya will definitely quarrel with him.

Liya angrily pointed at Victor's nose and cursed: "I've been waiting for you for so long, but the first thing you said when you got home was to ask me if I was hiding someone in the house?"

"How narrow-minded you are to think of such a thing!"

Victor stood at the door, his expression still poker-faced, and he listened to Liya's scolding without speaking back.

Liya cursed for a while, and after expressing her unhappiness, she touched her head and sighed.

I thought it would be fine if I didn't explain it, but by some coincidence, she explained one more sentence.

"That's the subordinate of the territory. He just came to report some things. When you came back, he had already left."

Victor nodded.

"I see."

From the time he entered the room, he could smell a fragrance coming from the room.

That's obviously not the smell of a man.

I wanted to add two sentences after saying "Are you hiding?", so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings to Liya.

Unfortunately, Liya opened her mouth to scold him too quickly, as if it was an instinctive reaction. He didn't even react and was scolded.

Then?

Then let Li Ya scold.

If the other party can calm down by scolding him, Victor naturally doesn't mind being scolded a few words.

This can be regarded as the way two people talk, and he has long been used to it.

Victor sat down at the desk again and did not ask Liya if she had any difficulties recently.

He trusts Liya to handle everything.

If there is a problem that she can't solve, Liya will take the initiative to say it.

Sure enough, although Victor didn't ask, Liya herself brought up the store with some embarrassment.

"The item shop is not very ideal."

"The explosion didn't happen as you thought."
