"The Royal Magic Academy has been sealed off!"
A startled cry suddenly rang out, throwing the students in the academy into a state of panic.
Several students, unable to believe it, dragged themselves to the school gate.
The gate can be opened, but a barrier keeps the outside world out.
No matter how much the students pounded on it, the barrier remained unmoved.
The news of the black barrier suddenly appearing above the academy spread throughout the entire capital very quickly, with an extraordinary impact.
Countless newspaper reporters and monks gathered in front of the barrier.
The black barrier emitted wisps of black mist, seemingly dyeing half the sky black.
Its surface is covered with countless intricate and complex patterns, forming a complex pattern that extends in all directions.
The area inside the barrier seemed to be filled with filth and darkness, constantly eroding people's energy.
The darkness swallowed everything completely, leaving only the sounds of panic inside and outside the barrier, carrying a distinct and intense sense of weakness.
"What exactly is this thing?"
"Such an exquisite magic array... what kind of array is this?"
Numerous headlines have been reported, all of which, without exception, are related to the black barrier shrouding the Royal Academy.
Even worse, some have spread rumors that this incident is related to Viktor.
Although the academy was completely sealed off by a barrier, communication between the inside and outside was impossible.
However, before the lockdown was lifted, news still spread that Victor had kidnapped and intended to murder Professor Devon.
The news quickly reached the Du Chloe family.
Erica was stunned when she heard the news. She had heard from Henney yesterday that Victor was not at the academy, so how could such a big thing happen today?
More importantly, reports have surfaced that Victor attacked Devon Reiser at the academy yesterday.
This is completely different from what Henney said.
"What exactly happened?"
"Did Hene deliberately hide it? Could she be someone who knows the truth?"
Erica became increasingly confused, and all she wanted to do was go and see for herself what had happened.
But she couldn't be so reckless. The most urgent thing was to find out if her father knew about this.
She hoped her father could help Viktor in this matter and suppress its impact!
Because Viktor really made a huge mistake this time!
Who is Devon Reiser? Even within aristocratic circles, very few people know this.
The Raiser family wields considerable influence in the south, practically monopolizing most of the business in the southern part of the empire.
This family is extremely capable of accumulating wealth, and those in the know with high positions of power, such as the Du Chloe family, understand even more the significance of the Leather family to the entire royal family.
That was the main source of the royal family's economy.
More than half of the national treasury's money is spent on the Leiser family every year, and the Leiser family then gives back even more each year.
In other words, all of the Reiser family's businesses in the south were tacitly approved by the royal family.
Because the Leiser family was related to royalty, the emperor's sister married into the Leiser family.
The royal family granted the Leiser family special privileges, and the Leiser family reciprocated with money from the royal family.
A win-win situation for both sides.
Erica didn't know why Victor attacked Devon Reiser, but she understood politics.
As the Duke's only daughter, her father had always groomed her to be his successor.
Whatever Victor's motives were, the fact remains that he hurt Devon Reiser.
To save Viktor, we must...
Before the academy's barriers are breached, this matter should not be brought before the emperor.
"A person with the motive and status to get the emperor to intervene in advance..."
"Mrs. Kasanna!"
Kasanna Raiser changed her surname after marrying the head of the Raiser family; before that, she was the emperor's sister.
Although the Leiser family has a lot of business to do every year, this lady does not engage in commerce and has always lived in a city not far from the capital.
If you received the message yesterday, calculate the travel time.
"She will be able to reach the capital today and meet His Majesty!"
Thinking of this, Erica immediately set off to find Duke Reeves, but the maid stopped her when she saw her looking so serious and in such a hurry.
"Miss, please don't worry."
"The Duke specifically asked me to inform you this morning before he left that if you want to go out to find him, just tell you that he has already arrived outside the city gate."
"Outside the city gate?"
Erica was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.
What was Father doing outside the city ahead of time?
Could it be... that he already knew all along?
She was feeling uneasy; at this moment, she felt like the only one who had been kept in the dark.
Erica wanted to know something, and then she suddenly thought of someone.
People who are involved in this matter and may be deliberately concealing it.
Only Henny!
"She must know something!"
Erica, thinking to herself, quickly said to the maid:
"Prepare the carriage! Hurry! I need to get to the back mountain of the academy immediately!"
She still remembered the place where she had chatted with Henney yesterday.
Erica had told Henney that she would come back the next day.
If Hene hasn't broken her promise, the other party should be waiting for her on the back mountain of the academy.
If Victor really wanted to do something, he would seal off the academy, and he wouldn't let Henney be locked up inside with him.
"Damn it! What is his motive?"
Erica clenched her fists and bit her lip.
She couldn't understand it, nor could she investigate it herself.
She hated this feeling of powerlessness.
Just like that time on the volcano.
