Staring at the scantily clad woman in front of her, Liya's mind raced with all sorts of guesses.
Who is this woman?
Why would it appear in a garden?
And what's with the clouds beneath her? They look pretty cool.
"Her name is Kokot, Kokot Yad, a former councilor of the Mage Capital."
Victor appeared behind Lia and said.
Hearing Victor's explanation, Leah was even more confused.
A former member of the Mage Council?
In other words, Victor's position as a senator was a substitute for this woman?
What is the relationship between these two?
Koko was fast asleep when he turned his head, and his two pointed ears happened to be exposed in front of Leah.
Looking at the slender ears, Lia felt they were very familiar.
She blurted it out.
"An elf?"
After all, Lia had dealt with elves quite a bit.
This lazy elf is fast asleep on a cloud, giving the illusion that she is isolated from the world.
But that's not the point at all. The point is why Victor brought back an elven woman.
Lia looked up, her gaze towards Victor now showing a hint of hostility.
"So, what's wrong with her?"
"You went to the city of mages and brought back this new love?"
"Ha, I really feel sorry for Gwen."
Victor listened to Lydia's sarcasm and said calmly:
"She is a fourth-tier mage."
"Right now, they're working for me."
Lia's unfriendly gaze immediately returned to normal, her eyes seemingly filled with a hint of calculation.
"I see, you should have said so earlier."
"I will definitely take good care of her and make sure she is well taken care of."
As if sensing something, Cocotte twitched its ears, groggily sat up, and rubbed its eyes.
"Hmm~?"
Koko let out a drawn-out question, grinned foolishly at Viktor, and then, like a puppet without strings, fell back towards the clouds.
flutter!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
I closed my eyes and fell asleep again.
Liya: "..."
Can such a lazy elf really be used as a tool?
Victor didn't explain much to Lia.
In reality, Cocotte was homeless.
Even without his status as a member of parliament, Kokote could still reside in Endymion for an extended period.
However, Victor destroyed the first three layers of Endymion, causing the area with the most stable natural energy to disappear into the annals of history.
Without that kind of place, Kokot couldn't sleep well.
Even if I manage to fall asleep, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body halfway through the night, which is very uncomfortable.
I simply followed Victor to the Empire and became a mascot in the Clavner family.
Anyway, she was no longer a member of parliament, and the restoration of Endymion had nothing to do with her. Kokot felt incredibly free now.
She even slept better when sleeping in the garden.
After Viktor obtained the status of a count, he was qualified to recruit his own private army in the capital.
There is no problem, either publicly or privately.
Victor said calmly to Leah:
"When she wakes up, remember to make her sign a contract of servitude, in my name."
After all, the Clavner family doesn't support idlers, and Cocotte still needs to work after waking up.
Lia nodded and watched Victor walk into the mansion.
...
In the study, Victor walked to the bookshelf and examined it carefully.
He opened the cabinet door and pulled out a thick book.
This is a book that records mythology in part of history, and the stories it tells are related to the 'gods' of the past.
Soon, Viktor turned to the page he needed.
"The scales of justice".
Aurelion recounted her ordeal in the magic library to Victor in detail.
This also includes what she saw about Libra.
Victor already knew that there was a scale in Endymion's magic library.
It was not a true creation of the gods, but merely an ancient forgery.
History has this to say about the goddess of justice:
The justice of the goddess of justice is absolute; anything she deems evil or filth will be completely obliterated, with no hope of escape whatsoever.
Use the scales in your hand to measure the hearts of the people, and place the dagger that punishes evil on one side of the scales.
Legend has it that the dagger weighed as much as a cloud.
A human heart polluted by malice will develop an extra weight of resentment.
Once the scales tip toward the heart.
The goddess of justice will mercilessly vanquish the evildoers.
Since the dawn of civilization, she has protected the people of the continent, always believing that they are capable of achieving the absolute justice and fairness she envisions.
However, humanity's actions over a long period of time gradually disappointed the goddess of justice... What follows is a more familiar story: the goddess of justice left the human world.
But in reality...
Victor pondered the scales stored in the magic library.
Legend has it that the archmage, dissatisfied with the actions of the goddess of justice, stole a sliver of her divine power and created this scale of the hypocrite.
This weakens the divine will of the goddess of justice, and by creating a replica of the scales, reduces the number of extreme believers of the goddess of justice. In the end, those who are full of absolute justice are replaced by hypocrites.
Ultimately, the goddess, utterly disillusioned with humanity, departed from the mortal realm.
But her departure brought a sigh of relief to the world.
Because absolute justice should not exist in a society composed of people.
