Mrs. Kasanna was somewhat unable to accept this outcome.
"I need to see His Majesty! I need to see His Majesty..."
“Rive, I’m warning you, even if I no longer have the surname Saul, I am still the Emperor’s sister.”
Mrs. Kasanna was clearly annoyed and continued:
"You have no reason to stop me from entering the capital."
"I will always find an opportunity to meet His Majesty,"
"If you don't let me pass immediately, I will definitely report you to His Majesty!"
"You deliberately blocked the way, what are you up to?!"
Upon hearing Lady Kasanna's accusations, Duke Reeves smiled, like a cunning old fox, and spoke in a tone that seemed to be for her own good:
"Lady Kasanna, the capital is in great danger right now. I am not letting you pass for your safety."
"Even if you complain to His Majesty, he will understand the seriousness of the matter and will not blindly blame me..."
Faced with shrewd politicians, every word Mrs. Kasanna uttered seemed pale and powerless.
"Danger!? My son is in danger now, he's going to lose his life!"
The lady's tone immediately rose several octaves; she was now both angry and anxious.
Even so, she could only sit there and wait for Duke Reeves to let her go.
But the Duke of Reeves' words the next second made her freeze in place.
Her eyes widened, and she fell silent.
"Mrs. Kasanna, I'm not joking with you..."
“Demon-like behavior has occurred within the academy.”
“Your son, Devon Reiser, has very likely come into contact with the ‘demon’.”
...
"You mean, the demon?"
Last night, Victor chatted casually with Lia in his study.
"The filth that Kevlar was talking about, that's it."
Lia listened to Victor's words in disbelief and remained silent.
She had seen images of demons in a book before...
It had a foul odor, a sticky surface, bulging eyes, and a tongue hiding countless sharp teeth...
His body was like a dark shadow, and his heart was filled with greed.
It's like a walking, foul-smelling swamp; most people would avoid it if they saw it.
The book also records that the creature once lived for a period of time in the outhouse of a town in a remote small country.
The abilities granted to the town prospered for a period of time.
But after that, the people in the town disappeared one by one.
No one could find their whereabouts, and the once glorious town became desolate and dilapidated due to neglect.
Ultimately, it disappeared into history.
Leah stopped reminiscing; the mere descriptions in the book were enough to make her feel nauseous.
Of course, both his appearance and his deeds are only recorded in history books.
It is all too common for those in power to alter or fabricate facts in order to consolidate their position.
But this also shows that no one likes demons.
"You found it?"
"I asked tentatively," Lia asked.
She was surprised; she had only received the news from Gwen yesterday, yet Victor had already found traces of it today.
Is Viktor really that efficient?
Viktor nodded expressionlessly.
"That thing is in the academy."
Leah asked curiously, "Are you confident you can catch or kill that thing?"
Viktor was straightforward and honest, saying:
"uncertain."
If that demon is as Victor thinks, as an early-game demon boss, once it reaches its full form, a fourth-tier mage might not necessarily be a match for it.
I'll say it again.
If the numbers aren't enough, make up for it with actions.
Victor Clavner's stats are indeed inferior to itss.
But Victor Clavner will definitely be able to beat it.
If all else fails, he has a cheat code.
"However, I need to lure that filthy thing out so that I can kill it myself."
Victor said to Lydia.
But Lia felt something was strange.
"Didn't you say it wasn't certain? Why are you still..."
Even if the success rate is 99%, I would not be absolutely certain that it will be foolproof.
Victor's voice rang out in a very ordinary tone, yet Leah could sense the astonishing confidence in his words.
But now, she has another question.
Normally, Victor wouldn't need to say so much to her.
Since she couldn't help, Victor didn't need to say much to her.
He will take care of everything himself.
Including the volcano incident, if it weren't for the news coming back from outside, she would have had no idea that Viktor had done something so shocking.
Lia seemed to realize something and blinked.
"...Do you mean there's something you need me to do?"
“Victor, there’s something I need to make clear beforehand. I’m not some kind of mage, much less a knight like Gwen. I’m completely weak; I might not even be able to hold a few bricks properly…”
"Only you can do this."
Victor's resolute attitude almost made Leah doubt whether she had some kind of special ability.
What exactly happened?
“Devin Reiser, do you know him?”
"That fat guy you beat up today?"
Lia pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's hilarious, you know? This story has gone viral tonight!"
Lia couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it, and even knowing that the dead pig was actually the emperor's nephew, she wasn't afraid at all.
