The appearance of the demons brought extremely heavy losses to the capital.
But in the end, humanity emerged victorious.
The impact of this event was so significant that it spread far and wide beyond the capital without any media embellishment.
After all, many people have seen the appearance of the demon with their own eyes.
The demon's immense power was terrifying; its rampaging tentacles, covering the entire area, shattered the sanity of everyone present.
Whether it was the demon's madness within the academy or his initial cruelty in the back mountains, both were chilling.
The apocalyptic terror has become an indelible shadow in people's lives.
It was because of this incident that Victor's image and his terrifying magical power were etched into everyone's minds.
The fact that he was the empire's youngest fourth-tier mage had quietly spread throughout the empire...
......
Three days later.
Victor sat at his desk, still holding that profound magic book he never tired of reading.
Vega once complained to him, asking why he kept holding onto that book so tightly.
"Could this book contain some profound magic that even you are constantly studying?"
But Victor never gave it the answer it wanted.
"The report on the damage to the capital has been released."
Sometime later, Lia pushed open the door and placed a note covered in writing on Victor's desk.
Viktor was already used to Leah walking into his study without knocking or saying hello.
He closed the book, looked up, and took the note.
The various losses suffered by the capital city were clearly listed above.
Shops, streets, scenic sculptures...
The most serious incident was that the academy was completely razed to the ground.
The day after the demons were eliminated, old man Rachel finally returned from the magic capital.
The former academy had long since vanished. He looked at the empty land and the huge pit before him and simply sighed.
No one knows how complicated the mind of this great mage who dedicated his entire life to the academy truly was.
Although everyone knows that Viktor destroyed the academy, no one blames Viktor.
With the battle against the demons underway, the destruction of the academy is only a matter of time.
Viktor's intervention merely hastened the outcome, quickly eliminating the demon to ensure that the losses did not escalate and to minimize casualties.
Correspondingly, Devon Reiser's charges were definitively established.
"Someone found Devon Reiser's body outside the city gates, along with some dead knights."
"Judging from the situation, perhaps these knights have found Devon Reiser who escaped, but he still has the strength to resist."
"He injured many people in his battle with the knights, and ultimately perished together with them."
Lia waved the newspaper in her hand.
"That's what they say, anyway."
Viktor was not greatly affected; to him, Devon Reiser's life or death was not important.
Anyway, he was already half-dead.
He asked calmly:
"What about the punishment for the Leiser family?"
"Yes."
Lia reported everything to Victor methodically:
"While the Leiser family voluntarily assumed all the losses to the capital, His Majesty also imposed other punishments."
"To provide compensation to all the mages and knights who participated in this war."
"Of course, you are also a member of the mage class, so you are also entitled to a share of this compensation."
“But I don’t think you really need this, so I gave that portion to Hene.”
Lia said on her own initiative that Victor was not surprised at all.
Lia is a normal woman, but going into business has forced her to learn to be ruthless and indifferent.
Regardless of her background, or how cold-blooded and cruel she may be.
Those were all pretenses she made to make necessary sacrifices for her family.
In fact, she is very emotional.
He left early after the battle that day, leaving the unconscious Hennie at home.
He explained everything to Lia, including what happened to Henney.
Lia was saddened to hear this and promised Victor that she would take good care of the poor child, Henney.
At this moment, Lia narrowed her eyes and said meaningfully:
"Tsk tsk, the Raiser family is really rich."
"How many people participated in the battle that day? There were over a thousand mages in the academy alone."
"Compensation based on the number of people would be an enormous sum!"
Viktor picked up the book again, seemingly unwilling to waste a single moment of reading time.
He replied simply:
"Losing money can avert disaster."
"You're right, so what can we use to avert disaster for our family?"
Viktor remained silent for a moment.
"Fiscal crisis?"
"Did you hear that, Vega? From now on, you won't be eating meat; you'll only be able to eat grains."
The crow on the table raised its head, gave Viktor a hostile look, and vented its dissatisfaction.
"Just kidding, I was just saying."
Seeing Victor's reaction, Lia was very satisfied.
She'd noticed Viktor was getting a bit too arrogant lately, and she'd been wanting to teach him a lesson for a while.
"The prop shop has reopened. After the last war with the demon, its reputation has been restored."
“Our daily supplies are all looted by those mages.”
"Some people even asked if they could sell more in a day."
Thinking of this, Lia couldn't help but laugh out loud.
