There were many people present, including various mages and sorcerers.
They were mostly in their thirties or forties, and had been stuck at the level of second-tier mages for a long time.
Some mages even broke through to the second tier in just a few years.
As a result, the little girl they looked down upon had already reached the same social standing as them.
"Oh no! She's a genius."
"I feel inferior."
"As expected of the general's friend, his daughter's talent is truly outstanding."
Hearing the enthusiastic and bold exclamations of praise from the group of mages, Erica couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, as if she were a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Vladimir waved to the group.
"Alright, get lost, get lost, you guys drink."
"This little girl is here to gain experience, not for you bunch of grown men to brag."
The middle-aged men laughed heartily and continued playing their games.
"Amelia!"
Vladimir suddenly yelled into the tavern, and Erica silently covered her ears.
A woman slowly walked out from behind the bar.
Her skin was snow-white, she was a typical Northerner, one eye was covered by a black eyepatch, and she seemed to be holding something in her mouth.
That wasn't smoke, Erica knew perfectly well.
On her lower abdomen, which was exposed beneath her clothes, Erica could still see several deep scars, a shocking sight.
"What are you yelling about? Don't you know how loud your voice is?"
Vladimir didn't take it to heart and laughed heartily twice.
"Go and find this little girl a good place to stay, and don't forget to prepare a hot bath for her."
Amelia sighed and gave Erica a look.
"Come with me."
Erica glanced at Vladimir.
The old man gave her a reassuring look.
Erica then followed the woman and went behind a door at the back of the tavern.
After the two left, the group of men surrounded Vladimir, asking him all sorts of questions.
"General, who exactly is that little girl?"
"A 17-year-old at the second stage is too amazing, I can't even imagine it."
"Damn it, if my son had her abilities, I'd go and burn incense for my ancestors."
Vladimir chuckled and slapped each of them on the neck a few times.
"Don't ask around, their identity is quite extraordinary."
The old man found a wooden stool, pulled it over and sat down. When a mage saw the guild master sit down, he immediately brought over a huge wooden barrel filled with wheat wine and placed it in front of the old man.
Vladimir picked up the bucket and gulped down several mouthfuls.
After taking a couple of sips, his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask:
"You all know Viktor, the one on the wanted poster?"
"Alas, only you, General, do not understand."
One of them got excited and started talking at length.
"The girl you brought is quite capable; she's already a second-tier mage at 17. But compared to others, she's far inferior."
"A 29-year-old fourth-tier mage! In the entire empire, and even looking back through history, you won't find a single fourth-tier mage younger than him!"
As he spoke, he became even more arrogant.
It's as if he's talking about himself.
As Vladimir listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
This kid sounds pretty capable.
He became increasingly interested in Viktor, whom he had never met.
And most importantly, he also crippled that old bastard Angus.
Even if he himself took action, he might not be able to beat Angus to that extent.
"The young man is good; I admire him."
As for the extent of his admiration for Viktor, how much did he actually appreciate him?
Vladimir even considered introducing him to a wife.
If it weren't for the fact that he doesn't have a daughter himself.
However, he has a friend who does.
He thought the kid from the Levi family was pretty good.
He is polite and a genius.
Age? Age is certainly not a problem.
"By the way, how did that old bastard Angus get into trouble with him?"
The old man inquired while picking up the wooden bucket and taking a swig of wine, then looked at the men beside him, exchanging bewildered glances.
Then they answered Vladimir's question.
“Angus is his father-in-law.”
"ah?"
