But without realizing it, Hene felt a slight sense of loss.
She didn't know why it started.
Perhaps it was because the trip I was looking forward to with the professor suddenly turned into a trip for four.
The little succubus never hides her feelings; if she's unhappy, she's unhappy.
Victor noticed her mood and glanced at her casually as he looked down.
Then, he walked over to a roadside vendor selling jewelry and pointed to one of the sparkling ornaments.
The ornament resembled a water droplet, sculpted with lifelike detail, shimmering as if filled with a flowing stream.
How much is this?
The boss was also a sea dweller. His thick arms were covered with lines, and even the ocean seal he wore seemed broader than that of an average person.
His face darkened immediately when he saw Viktor.
He glanced at Viktor with an unfriendly look, and the corners of his mouth turned down slightly.
"I won't sell you anything..."
boom.
A burst of fiery red magic erupted from Victor's fingertips, and a sharp, flaming steel nail embedded itself in the floating sea surface.
The steel nails began to crumble, and the flames slowly fell onto the sea surface.
The next second, a wall of fire rose out of thin air, completely surrounding the boss.
Seeing the wall of fire about to engulf him completely, the boss was terrified and quickly sat down on the ground, taking a few steps back.
Behind him, however, the intense heat persisted, leaving him huddled in place.
Viktor's voice, however, remained calm as it rang out:
"How much is this?"
“One... one thousand Geore.”
Geo is the universal currency of this world, and it can be used not only within the Empire.
This can be considered a characteristic of the game world.
The price wasn't expensive; it was about the same as a bottle of magic potion exclusively sold by the Clavner family brand.
With a casual wave of his hand, Victor conjured a bag of coins that landed in front of the shopkeeper.
Viktor successfully took the teardrop headdress, and the wall of fire gradually disappeared.
The shop owner was still shocked by the intense heat and couldn't recover for a long time.
The passersby had already noticed the commotion Viktor had caused. They looked at Viktor warily, their faces filled with solemnity and fear.
After all, the magic Victor just unleashed was not to be underestimated.
Moreover, Viktor's behavior was simply too heretical.
Who uses fire magic in the City of the Sea? Does this mean they don't consider the other sea dwellers as human beings?
Despite the talk, after Viktor demonstrated his power, no one dared to look at him anymore.
No matter where you are, might makes right is always the only true principle.
Hene stood there, staring blankly at Victor.
He held the blue teardrop-shaped headdress in his hand and walked towards her step by step.
Could it be that the professor did this for her sake...?
Hene suddenly felt a mix of emotions.
I felt both joy and panic.
If the professor really intends to give her that item, how should she respond?
To accept or to refuse...
Waaah, no, Hene, I just don't understand!
As Viktor drew closer, he even pinched the teardrop headdress between his fingers and lifted it slightly.
Feeling flustered, Hennie quickly closed her eyes.
I could feel my heart acting very uncooperatively, pounding rapidly.
But the touch she longed for never came.
Then, Henney opened her eyes.
Viktor's hand was seen sliding down the top of the crow's head on his shoulder.
On the black crow's head, a water droplet-shaped headdress, flowing like water, was placed.
The crow raised its proud head and looked at her, as if showing off something.
Heni blinked in bewilderment, just as Victor spoke:
"This is not for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hennie couldn't help but show her disappointment.
That's right, what is she fantasizing about?
The professor even saw through her fantasy and gave her a special reminder.
No one would prepare a gift for her.
Even as a professor, she was indulging in far too many fantasies...
"but……"
Hearing the voice, Heni was slightly taken aback.
Before Victor could finish speaking, suddenly, countless guards wielding spears formed from flowing water rushed towards them from both ends of the street.
Without exception, their wrists were also wrapped in pale blue water.
Numerous guards gathered here, attempting to surround and kill the two.
Seeing this, Heni felt a sense of panic and clung tightly to Victor, afraid to move.
When had she ever seen such a scene before?
In contrast, Viktor remained with his hands in his pockets, expressionless.
As if he had anticipated this situation, he didn't take the guards seriously at all.
After a while, a tall figure sat on a vehicle that had crossed the sea and slowly stepped off.
He wore a small badge on his chest, like a blue star.
Under the cover of night, it twinkles with faint starlight, as if the stars in the sky have truly been plucked down.
It was immediately obvious to anyone that he was no ordinary guard.
"Listen up, there are no outsiders with the Pact of the Ocean ahead."
"Your actions have disrupted the order of Sea City. Now, please stop resisting and immediately accept our arrest and investigation."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the guards around him raised their spears, the sharp tips of which rippled with water, pointing directly at Viktor.
That's right, Victor triggered an investigation by the guards of Sea City.
He thought about it silently in his heart.
In the game, every player who forces their way into Sea City without an invitation will be surrounded by guards.
So, what would a player typically do at this point?
Almost at the same moment that person finished speaking.
Behind Victor, a fierce, blazing fire erupted.
The trench coat was instantly covered in crimson patterns, and the entire coat burst into flames, resembling an enraged beast.
The guards stared wide-eyed, their grip on their rifles tightening involuntarily.
Amidst the flames blazing with fury, Victor's voice slowly rose:
"Arrest me?"
Are you qualified?
...
(Don't worry, there will be another chapter in a bit.)
