...

It was nearly midnight when Liya finally returned to the manor by carriage.

It was really difficult to communicate with a group of nobles; it was all just polite talk, and they were trying to curry favor with the Clavner family.

Dealing with all of this has left her physically and mentally exhausted.

I had planned to drag my aching body to find Viktor and go home together, but I found that Viktor had already run away.

After changing her clothes at home, she ran to the training ground and finally found Victor.

Viktor was still practicing with a sword, and his every move made Leah feel that he was actually quite skilled.

But when Leah thought about how Victor had run home without waiting for her, she got a little annoyed and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks:

"What? Is our master mage planning to change careers?"

Victor did not respond to her, but saw Lia return and sheath the silver sword.

But this time, he did not hang the longsword back on the wall.

The longsword disappeared from his hand and was stored in the player's unique inventory.

"You're back? Then let's get ready to leave."

Lia was slightly taken aback. To be honest, she had originally planned to set off in the afternoon and arrive at the territory the next morning.

It's too late to take a carriage back to the Clavina territory now.

But shortly after Victor finished speaking, a blue magic circle lit up again beneath his feet.

This one is much larger than any before, and the patterns and runes on it are clearly visible.

A terrifying magical aura burst forth from beneath the ground, and an astonishing fluorescent blue teleportation array rose from the ground and shot straight into the sky.

The violent gust of wind whipped at Viktor's trench coat, causing the black coat to sway wildly against his body. The wind also caused Leah's long, flowing hair to stand on end.

Soon, the wind gradually subsided.

As specks of blue starlight gradually enveloped their bodies, a blue teleportation array slowly formed above their heads.

Leah stood there, stunned, and asked Victor:

"What's this?"

Viktor didn't look at her, but simply explained.

“I spent two hours here, building a two-way teleportation array with ‘Bryston’.”

Brighton, a city under Clevina's control, is the second most prosperous city after the capital.

Viktor's hometown is there.

Liya was slightly taken aback.

"So, you came back early just to do this?"

Viktor remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Lia remained silent for a while.

The thought that she had blamed Viktor for not waiting for her to come back made her feel a little guilty.

She tried standing inside the magic circle, feeling the astonishing magical power rushing towards her.

Even though Lia wasn't a mage, she clearly recognized Victor's terrifying magical power.

"The teleportation array can last for a whole day."

"If all goes well, we can still use this magic array to return tomorrow."

Lia nodded, and the next second, the two magic circles gradually merged together. The two of them and the magic circles disappeared along with the scattered starlight, turning into a blue light and flying into the distance.

Then, a return teleportation array was left behind, which gradually dimmed and was hidden away.

......

In the dimly lit room, a group of people wearing hemp-colored cloaks and hoods burst in.

These people had all concealed any distinctive body parts, revealing only their unique pupils. The room was empty; it seemed everything that could be taken had been looted, leaving only four walls.

It was as if they had planned it all along.

Leon entered the room and surveyed everything. Upon hearing the report from her subordinates, she nodded.

"Any clues? Do you know where he went?"

"They may have already left the city, but judging by the time, they shouldn't have run out of the territory."

Leon breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Fortunately, Miss was prepared."

She pulled a bronze disc from her waist, which had no directions marked on it.

A half-finished pointer, pointing in one direction.

The subordinate, seeing the prop in Leon's hand, immediately knew what it was:

Rune tracker.

Leon began to speak softly:

“Miss Lia has signed a magical contract with every merchant who cooperates with the territory. As long as they are still within the territory, this can be used to track them.”

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, and their eyes, which were barely visible, lit up with starry-eyed admiration.

"As expected of Miss Lia!"

"Luckily, Miss Lia was prepared!"

"I really envy Lady Leon. She must use this to monitor Miss Leah's location every day!"

The others immediately turned their attention to the last person who spoke.

Leon waved her hand dismissively, and suddenly, a dot of light appeared on the edge of the rune tracker.

The light spot looked rather unusual, which puzzled those around it, but Leon put away the rune tracker after seeing it.

She coughed lightly twice, as if nothing had happened, and gave orders to the others.

"You guys go ahead and chase them, I need to go back first."

After saying that, she jumped out of the window, her movements as swift as a cheetah in the night sky, disappearing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

...

As the blue light gradually illuminated, Victor and Lydia appeared simultaneously in the backyard of Clavenna's mansion.

The backyard was very spacious, much larger and more luxurious than the villa in the capital.

At night, fireflies even danced in the backyard, like a private starry sky on the lawn.
