Lia was puzzled and asked with a frown:
"Didn't you and the Duke have a long-standing, unresolved feud?"
She was referring to the time when Victor confessed his feelings to Erica.
"How could the Duke, who is such a doting father, possibly have a good relationship with you?"
Lia couldn't understand. Had Victor used some means to coerce the Duke?
It's not that it doesn't fit his style.
"I need to do this for some reason."
"In short, you don't need to worry about the shop for now."
Hearing Viktor say this, Leah had some guesses and asked:
"Do you intend to use the Duke's influence to promote the reputation of our products?"
Viktor tapped on the table.
“I did have that idea at first, but I don’t intend to use the Duke.”
"After all, he doesn't have a good reputation right now."
Even though the Duke's crimes were cleared, his actions in front of everyone were undeniable facts.
Under these circumstances, the Duke's previously accumulated good reputation was almost completely destroyed in the mage community in an instant.
Magic potions are primarily targeted at mages.
If we're going to use the Duke's reputation, we might as well close the shop now.
"It would be better to use his daughter."
"What are you up to now?"
Lia was puzzled again. She really couldn't understand Victor's behavior. She shrugged and didn't care too much.
After all, she only cares about the result.
As if remembering something, she added:
"Oh, by the way, Gwen contacted me today and asked me to pass on some things to you."
"Um?"
Victor was a little confused, and then he heard Lia say something similarly puzzled.
"She said her sister told you to be careful of the dirty things that have infiltrated the capital."
"Her sister? Something evil? That's all they said?"
"Well, that's all."
Seeing the complicated change in Victor's expression, Lia rolled her eyes at him.
"Never mind, you can continue reading your book. I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, she swayed her hips and left the study.
Viktor didn't even look up, lost in deep thought.
"Gwen's sister..."
In his memory, there was only one person, and that was her eldest sister, Kefla Delin.
However, this character never appears in the main storyline.
Because she died before the main storyline, during the prologue.
Died of...
"Demon invasion."
Viktor closed his eyes.
In the first chapter of the game's story, the Karencia Empire is invaded by demons.
A large number of residents have become mindless zombies, their consciousness controlled by demons.
Countless smaller demons roam the streets.
They were scattered throughout the Karencia Empire.
In the early stages of the game, the beginner monsters that players need to kill are not slimes, but these little devils.
For players, those little devils are nothing more than ordinary experience points.
It wasn't until the mid-game, after players defeated the mid-game demon boss of Chapter 1, that the Karencia Empire returned to normal.
What was that demon boss called again?
Let me think about it...
"The Demon of Greed—Yem."
"Hey! Kid, what unfriendly thing did you accidentally utter?"
Suddenly, Vega started chattering on his shoulder. Just hearing the thing's real name gave him goosebumps.
"So? A demon? How do you know the name of this thing?"
Vega stared intently at Viktor with his single eye and asked.
"It was just something I mentioned casually."
I don't believe it.
Vega didn't believe his lies at all. Why would he casually bring up something so disgusting?
Yes, disgusting, extremely disgusting.
As a deity in a strict sense, Vega detests demons who are covered in filth.
Viktor glanced at Vega curiously. The thing was indeed disgusting, but it was still beyond his expectations that it could make even a god of evil feel nauseous.
"Aren't you an evil god? I thought you and other demons would have a lot in common."
Why do you associate God with the devil?
Vega proudly raised its head, as if proclaiming its noble status.
I, God, send me money!
"So, the dirty thing that little girl was talking about is this?"
Vega looked disgusted and said, "Why don't you lock me in a cage, deal with it, and then let me out?"
Victor looked at it and shook his head.
In Vega's eyes, since Victor had uttered the name of that thing, it meant that he knew something.
"I haven't decided yet."
To be honest, Victor also hates this kind of thing.
Different demons have different methods, but without exception, they rely on human emotions to satisfy themselves.
The demon of greed, Yem, its methods are...
"Exploit other people's greed and give them what they need time and time again."
"When the other party can no longer repay, the greedy person will be plunged into an endless abyss and forced to repay ten thousand times the amount."
Viktor opened his eyes.
"That's disgusting."
........
Henney was organizing her belongings in Victor's office.
She was preparing to leave.
Leave this college and go somewhere else.
The only person who cared about her is no longer here.
My own dreams have been burned.
Hene had no regrets.
"Little girl, you look very unhappy."
A deep, magnetic voice rang out in the darkness, and Henney turned around abruptly.
There was nothing there.
"Is it another prank?"
Hene thought to herself, "How boring that someone would still be playing pranks at a time like this."
"Oh, I'm sorry, little beauty, you don't look well."
Is there anything I can do to help you?
