As soon as he finished speaking, Viktor stepped into the teleportation array that had already been activated in front of the mage tower.
Saphiros followed closely behind him, like his henchman.
A deep blue magic circle enveloped the two of them, and ripples of shimmering blue light swept across them.
As the magic circle was activated, Victor and Sephiroth transformed into two faint specks of light and vanished from the spot.
The teleportation array continued to glow, seemingly waiting for the next person to enter.
As the two disappeared, Erica's head buzzed and her mind went blank.
Professor Victor... actually brought a strange woman into his mage tower!?
She couldn't even imagine what they would do if she weren't there!
And what did that woman just say...?
"Professor Victor...is one of her people?"
this……
Erica quickly shook her head, trying to shake off all those obscure thoughts from her mind.
No, no, Professor Victor would never do that.
She must be overreacting because she hasn't seen the professor in a long time.
She quickly approached the teleportation array inside the mage tower, transforming into a bright blue light and slowly dissipating.
...
Click—
Erica pushed open the door and entered.
Stepping onto the soft fur carpet, a rustic and peaceful woody scent filled Erica's nostrils.
She looked up and saw Victor sitting leisurely in a chair.
Saphiros, dressed in a long robe, stood quietly behind Victor, exuding a subtle yet dangerous aura.
The moment Erica entered, Victor casually waved his hand.
A chair floated over automatically and placed behind Erica.
"Thank you, Professor."
After politely thanking her, Erica sat down in the chair.
Immediately afterwards, the teapot on the table floated up and automatically poured a cup of water, which floated to Erica's front.
She calmly took the glass of water, blew on it, and carefully took a sip.
She had been running all the way here, which had left her quite thirsty.
Teleportation magic is prohibited in all other parts of the academy except inside the teaching buildings.
Otherwise, she could have simply used a teleportation spell to teleport directly to Professor Victor's vicinity.
After taking a sip of water, she cleared her throat, faced Viktor, and said to him with a serious expression:
"That's right, Professor Victor."
"You still remember the Raiser family, right?"
Victor nodded.
Of course he remembered, after all, the Clavenna family's current influence was largely thanks to the Raiser family.
Reputation, elves, weapons—these are all more or less provided by the Leather family.
It can be said that the entire Raiser family are great philanthropists.
At least that's how it is for Viktor.
So when Victor heard the name of the Raiser family, he thought they were here to do charity work again.
But Erica remained extremely serious:
“If it were just other members of the Raiser family, I wouldn’t have come to inform you.”
"But this time, it's the head of the Raiser family who has returned."
Viktor squinted and leaned back slightly.
Head of the Raiser family, father of Jess Raiser and Devon Raiser.
The old emperor's sister, and Lady Cassandra's husband.
It is said that this patriarch is a genius.
The advanced city of Tiberias.
This technologically advanced city, which appeared in the Middle Ages, was built based on his own proposal.
It is said that this head of the Raiser family was originally just an ordinary merchant.
Somehow, he married the emperor's sister and gained the support of the royal family.
Since then, he has demonstrated his boundless talent.
Under his economic management, the Raiser family quickly became the wealthiest family in the Karencia Empire.
The economic lifeline of the entire southern part of the empire is almost entirely in the hands of the Raiser family.
It can be said that the head of the Raiser family is like the god of commerce in the Karencia Empire.
However, in the time that followed, he left the empire and went to a place no one knew.
And now, he's actually back?
Viktor raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.
While the Raiser family's influence has indeed declined considerably, this is only in comparison to the Clavner family.
They control the economic lifeline of the empire's south and also have connections with the royal family.
No matter what, the Raiser family won't fall into complete ruin.
"so what?"
Victor looked intently at Erica, whose face was serious.
Erica continued:
“My father said that some time ago, while you were away from the Empire visiting the kingdom, the Second Prince went to Tiypo.”
"It is said that she went to see the First Prince."
The message that Duke Reeves wanted to convey to Victor was quite simple.
In short, the Raiser family supports the eldest prince, while the second prince goes to find the eldest prince.
That exact moment coincided with the time when Aubrey personally announced his intention to hand over the throne to the princess of Aurelion.
Although it was just talk at the time, it was something that Aubrey personally announced in front of a group of nobles.
Even a casual remark can have a tremendous impact.
Although Victor and Aurelion left after they finished talking about it.
But the empire was far from peaceful during the month they were gone.
The number of nobles who supported the eldest and second princes was not small.
Some people are even willing to gamble away their entire family fortune.
If they were truly willing to watch Aubrey so easily pass the throne to the princess.
In the end, their efforts will all be in vain.
Therefore, those nobles should offer advice and speak their minds as needed.
The emperor was advised not to rush the succession to the throne and to wait a little longer.
The emperor is still in good health; there is no need to rush to determine a successor.
Besides, what sense would there be in passing the throne to a princess?
In all these years, the empire has never had an empress.
Some ministers even began a hunger strike in protest.
And now, even the head of the Raiser family is about to return to the capital.
Clearly, everyone is resisting the idea of passing the throne to a princess.
Hearing this, Viktor thought for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"So, the Second Prince went to the First Prince for cooperation?"
"He doesn't want the throne anymore?"
