Then, Victor turned to Vega and continued:
"Alright, I did agree to her, but not now."
Viktor's promise was only a temporary comfort.
He simply made Aurelian naively believe that she would soon be with her beloved teacher.
After all, you can tell if you think about it.
It's unlikely.
"Ha, I knew it."
Vega sneered, and after recovering, slowly preened his feathers, saying sarcastically to Viktor:
"How could you possibly give up the whole forest for one tree?"
This empress is extremely possessive, and once she gets Victor, she will never be willing to share him with Gwen like Leah did.
But Victor can't abandon the others either, after all, he's a complete jerk.
Both the man and the crow knew this perfectly well, yet they pretended to be aware of it.
This can be considered a unique tacit understanding between this evil god and his messenger.
"Tell me, what is the reason you insisted on coming to the palace despite the risk of being caught and brought back by this elementary school student?"
Vega asked impatiently.
After all, it was extremely tired and still had to cause trouble with Victor late at night.
Viktor, however, remained patient and stood up to respond:
“As I mentioned before, the Thor family’s bloodline is extremely special.”
This is obvious.
Both Aubrey and the current Aurelion are geniuses, one in a million, possessing top-tier and abnormal talents.
Even Auberle's sister, Lady Cassana, who married Hermes, possessed an extraordinary ability.
She can temporarily boost a person's strength, and is therefore revered as the "Saintess of War".
Although this ability had already been stolen by Vega.
Because this ability is relatively limited, Viktor has almost never used it.
After all, no matter what, we can't let Viktor advance directly from a sixth-tier mage to a seventh-tier mage.
For Viktor, rank happens to be the least important factor.
"Aren't you curious why the Thor family is still so powerful in a country where gods can't intervene and it's ruled by humans?"
This question hits the nail on the head, and Vega was indeed curious.
Every member of the Thor family is a powerful individual, especially the former emperor.
He possesses the power to kill gods, and this is no exaggeration.
Vega once suspected that, apart from his lifespan, this old emperor seemed to have no weaknesses.
But upon hearing this, Vega's eyes lit up, and he immediately said:
"Oh, I see."
"You're planning to have a child with this elementary school student to prove the power of the Thor family bloodline, right?"
"I knew it, Viktor, you're really something!"
Upon hearing these words, Viktor's brows furrowed even more, and his expression gradually darkened.
It seemed that Vega was deliberately provoking them.
To shut the talkative crow up for a moment, he coldly retorted:
"Then I should first verify whether you are capable of having children."
These words clearly had an effect, and Vega was quite frightened.
The crow, which usually loved to gossip, finally quieted down and dared not make another sound.
I don't know what's going on lately.
Whenever Vega teases Victor, Victor always finds an opportunity to retaliate, leaving Victor speechless.
Since Vega decided to remain silent, Victor continued his explanation:
“I think there’s another point that should explain the uniqueness of the Saul family.”
Victor glanced at Vega and then said:
You should understand the concept of 'profession'.
The 'occupation' here does not refer to work done in society for remuneration.
Rather, it refers to the source of a person's strength.
For example, Viktor's profession is a mage.
His power comes from the magic in the air, allowing him to guide and unleash magic.
Gwen, on the other hand, is a knight who gains power through unwavering faith and rigorous physical training.
Once a knight's conviction wavers, he will lose his special abilities as a knight.
There are other similar professions, such as assassin, warrior, martial artist, and demon hunter.
These are all basic, relevant professions.
But none of these professions are unique.
Even among the few martial arts masters, there were three in Victor's household.
If we include Priscilla, who was brought back to the Empire, that makes four.
"But among all these professions, the Thor family is the only exception."
"I can't speak," Victor said casually, his hands in his pockets.
As soon as he finished speaking, a teleportation array rapidly constructed beneath his feet.
Intricate runes flowed and moved within the magic array, while countless crystalline streams of light intertwined on its surface like silk threads, making it appear even more radiant.
A sudden surge of energy erupted from the center of the magic array, roaring like a wild beast, and spread out with a deafening boom.
The huge room was suddenly filled with a violent gust of wind, like the crashing of a giant beast.
An invisible force lifted the curtains, causing them to dance like a light veil within the room.
Immediately afterwards, the air blast expanded even further.
The moment the storm dissipated into pale mist, the enormous azure magic circle also emitted a dazzling light.
The next second, Viktor, who was standing still, and Vega on his shoulder disappeared from the room.
Soon, the violent atmosphere gradually dissipated, the sheer curtains fell, and the room returned to silence.
...
When Vega opened its eyes again, it suddenly found itself inside the royal palace.
So he couldn't help but look around.
Even shrouded in darkness, the magnificent palace exuded an irresistible aura of majesty and sublimity that still resonated deeply within me.
The towering golden pillars surrounding the area are engraved with intricate runes, and the golden steps gradually narrow as they ascend.
A long red carpet covered the entire golden floor, extending up the steps to the top.
Right in the center in front of Vega was the magnificent throne that only an emperor could sit on.
It was like a sleeping giant, curled up in the deep darkness, fast asleep.
The invisible pressure came crashing down on you like a physical force, enough to make your heart tremble with fear.
Viktor slowly raised his head, his deep eyes locking onto the throne before him, and spoke calmly:
"The profession of the Saul family has been unique for generations—"
"【emperor】."
