"Resolve this as soon as possible."
"yes."
......
Several hours later, Leon had taken care of everything.
She secretly climbed through the window into Victor's study. Victor wasn't there, and Lia was sitting at her desk, dealing with the recent accounts.
There was no one else in the room. Leon took off her hood, revealing short, light blonde hair and long, pointed ears.
Her unusual ears alone are enough to prove her identity.
Elf.
"Miss, everything has been cleaned up."
Lia didn't even look up, but she already knew who it was, and smiled.
"Thanks a lot."
“It’s my pleasure, Miss Lia.”
Leon continued, "I collected a lot of money from those people and even ransacked their hideout. They recently received a substantial sum of money, about five thousand Giornos."
Leah took the money bag from Leon, weighed it in her hand, and put it aside.
"There are quite a lot of them; that person wasn't lying."
Leon looked up and couldn't help but ask again:
"Is it really not the Duke who ordered it?"
Lia paused, then couldn't help but laugh out loud. After closing the ledger, she looked at her with a smile:
You believed it too?
"What?"
She said with a smile, "Even if the Duke's suspicion is reduced to the lowest level, it doesn't mean he's been cleared of suspicion."
"We've only added another direction to our suspicions, but the fact that the Duke still harbors hatred towards us remains unchanged."
"Perhaps someone is interfering, deliberately stirring up conflict between us Clavner and the Duke, so that others can reap the benefits."
"Or perhaps the Duke simply dislikes us; after all, there's no need for a king to have two of his youngest third-tier mages."
Leon didn't understand the scheming among these nobles, so she paused for a moment and asked the question she most wanted to ask.
"Why didn't you continue interrogating him?"
"He won't tell, because he doesn't know who the instigator is either."
Lia flicked the money pouch with her hand, and Geo made a 'clinking' sound inside.
"The fact that money was used to make the deal shows that the other party is not an important member, so he can only insist that it was the Duke who did it."
Lia then said:
"Why do you think the Duke's daughter came back to the East District? And just happened to run into those people who smashed the shops?"
"Finally, they'll have to pay a huge sum to compensate us for the broken potions?"
Leon frowned when she heard her words. She still found it somewhat unbelievable that Erica had spent tens of thousands of Gioros to make amends.
Is it possible for a person to be this kind-hearted?
"I don't believe what she says."
Liya shrugged and said helplessly.
“I have lived with Viktor for more than ten years, and I know him better than anyone.”
"Although he has a talent for learning magic, he's still a lifetime too young to teach others. He'll probably just be spouting off lectures written by teaching assistants while he's at the academy."
"Erica actually claims to be his student, what can Victor possibly teach her?"
......
Meanwhile, far away in Sancher town, Vega sneezed.
Victor glanced at him. "Can crows catch colds?"
However, he didn't have time to pay attention to the crow that had caught a cold.
They arrived at a small town at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, where they could only find one hotel.
The knights didn't need to worry too much about where they stayed; they could even sleep overnight at a post station while leaning against their horses.
However, Gwen was a woman and also their respected knight commander, so the knights insisted that Gwen spend the night at the inn to recover.
Similarly, Victor is a mage.
He also needs a good sleep environment to replenish his mental energy.
So the two of them had no choice but to go to the hotel together.
We agreed to have two rooms, but...
"Boss, is there really only one room left?"
Gwen's somewhat anxious appearance amused Victor.
This was the first time he had ever seen the other person so unsteady.
At that moment, she wished she could immediately build a new house on the empty land.
The boss was also very helpless.
"My lord knight, how could I dare to lie to you? There really is only one double room left."
"Besides, judging from the way the two of you are together, you should be a couple, so there shouldn't be any problem with you sharing a room."
Gwen was anxious to say something more, but Victor interrupted her.
"This room is fine."
Upon hearing Viktor's words, Gwen's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him.
