To everyone's delight, the volcano did not erupt.

A villager stayed where he was, quietly watching the big raindrops falling over Sanchel Town.

"The volcano.....did not erupt..."

"Great! No eruption!"

A shout of joy erupted from somewhere in the crowd, instantly igniting the villagers' joy.

"Great! No disaster!"

"Oh my God! Oh my God! God bless us!"

"No no no! It was the mages in the capital who saved us!"

This rain was like a miracle, erasing all crises.

The mages and knights who returned to Sanchel Town one after another relaxed their frowns, but their moods did not relax at the same time, but instead felt extremely heavy.

Everyone remained silent, like walking puppets.

The residents of the town who did not know the truth walked out of the safe zone and returned to their town, thanking the heroes who "saved" them.

However, no wizard could proudly say "You're welcome" when facing them.

They did not save these innocent residents, and even they themselves almost perished in the volcano.

Yes, just a little bit.

The magic array was not released in the end.

If the volcano erupted completely at that time.

All the wizards sent by the capital would have died under the world-destroying lava.

In this heavy rain, the residents returned to their houses one after another.

The army began to send the wizards back to the capital one after another. Duke Levi stood in the heavy rain, letting the storm blow on his face.

Until the last batch of wizards left, Count Baker looked at Duke Levi from a distance and shook his head.

"Goodbye, Duke."

He almost forced himself to say this last sentence, with obvious dissatisfaction in his tone, and his hand on the crutches was a little unstable.

"Duke Levi, I understand your love for your daughter."

"But before you act rashly, please consider your position."

"After returning to the capital this time, you may be impeached by many ministers, so please take care of yourself."

After that, the noble mage got on the carriage and left under the escort of the army.

From beginning to end, Duke Levi did not raise his head to respond.

The knights around were worried that Duke Levi would get sick in this heavy rain. After all, the body of the mage was not as strong as their knights.

So they called him:

"Duke, please get on the carriage and wait. Knight Gwen is looking for your daughter."

Duke Levi did not respond to him. He stood in the wind and rain for a long time without responding.

His eyes were dull and empty.

A silver-white figure suddenly appeared in the night sky under the wind and rain, like a dawn that suddenly appeared in the dark night.

She was holding the blonde girl in her arms.

Duke Levi saw it, and in an instant, the light of hope appeared in his eyes again.

Gwen brought Erica to Duke Levi and handed her over to him.

"I have fulfilled my mission, Your Excellency."

Duke Levi took Erica with trembling hands and held her in his arms, his eyes full of shock and regret.

"Erica, Erica..."

It seemed that the slight call woke Erica up. She slowly raised her eyelids and saw her most familiar father, and forced a smile.

"Dad, I'm back."

At this moment, this man who was in a high position and power in the Karencia Empire shed tears.

He used to be upright, but he failed to protect his daughter.

He was extremely ashamed.

Duke Levi hugged his daughter tightly, but what he got was his daughter's low moan of pain.

He then noticed that Erica had many burns on her body. In a panic, he wanted to use magic to treat his daughter, but it had little effect.

Not all mages can be as perverted as Victor, who has learned hundreds of magics and can use them very skillfully.

Duke Levi's healing magic can only heal some minor injuries, but it is powerless in the face of his daughter's severe burns.

He looked around anxiously, trying to find a mage who is proficient in healing, but there are no other mages around except the knights standing in place.

Seeing Duke Levi's anxious look, Gwen hesitated for a moment and took out a bottle of scarlet potion.

The potion looked like blood, red with black, emitting a faint luster.

This is the healing potion that Victor gave her, but she has never used it once.

I don't know how effective it is.

But if Erica doesn't treat it in time, her injuries may leave permanent sequelae.

I can only take a gamble.

She gritted her teeth. At this moment, Gwen believed that VictorKtor would not lie to her.

"My Lord Duke, why don't you try this."

"If there is a problem, I will bear all the consequences."

Gwen handed over the potion, and Levi took it anxiously. Seeing the color of the potion, he was suddenly stunned.

Can this potion with the same color as blood really be drunk?

But there is no way now, Erica's injury can't be delayed.

He opened the cork, gently handed it to Erica's mouth, and asked casually:

"Where did you get this potion...?"

"It was...my fiancé gave it to me."

The potion poured down Erica's mouth, and Duke Levi's hand trembled slightly.

Gwen Delin's fiancé?

"Victor Cravenna?"

"Yes."

Gwen lowered her head a little embarrassedly. She knew that there was some friction between the Duke and Victor, but now was not the time to care about so much.

At this moment, a miracle happened.

Erica, who drank the potion, seemed to be blessed by the goddess of healing.

The burns on her body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was as if she had grown new flesh and skin, and her skin was as smooth as before.

The Duke was completely stunned.

First it was the blue magic potion, and now it was the scarlet recovery potion...

What was going on with this horrible effect?

Gwen also widened her eyes and watched the scene in surprise.

She had never used that potion before, and never thought that the effect would be so amazing.

With such a horrible recovery effect, even if half of her life was lost, she could be resurrected, right?

However, Erica, who had recovered from her injuries, did not open her eyes.

She was extremely exhausted, and it was a miracle that she could wake up in the Duke's arms once.

At the moment when the pain disappeared, she was finally able to fall asleep peacefully.

Duke Levi personally sent Erica to the carriage to rest, and after coming out, he bowed deeply to Gwen.

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Knight Commander Gwen."

"Please allow me to thank you properly after returning to the capital, and naturally your fiancé as well."

Gwen was somewhat flattered to hear the Duke's words.

She watched Duke Levi, who had recovered his emotions, get on the carriage, which slowly drove away with the surrounding army.

Gwen took a deep breath, turned her head, and looked at the white horse in the stable that had no owner to claim.

It was still eating grass quietly at the post station, and it didn't even realize that Victor, who rode it, had disappeared.

'Victor, where did you go? '

The rainstorm didn't stop for a long time, she put on a helmet to shield herself from the wind and rain, and climbed onto the horse.

Before leaving, she took a last look at the lonely white horse.

'If you still have a conscience and remember me, then ride that horse back to find me. '

'It won't die, at least before you see me again. ’

She turned her horse around and led the knights behind her to move forward.

After a burst of armor collision and the noise of horses' hooves stepping through the mud, Sanchel Town returned to peace.

.......

After a baptism of heavy rain, the flaws of light broke through the haze and the sky was clear.

In a few days, the residents of Sanchel Town returned to their normal lives.

It seemed that everyone had forgotten the terrible days a few days ago.

However, the entrance of the post station was not peaceful.

"Hey, that white horse is so beautiful, how about giving it to me?"

A fat and strong man surrounded the post station and asked the administrator of the post station with a fierce look in his eyes.

They had taken a fancy to the white horse a few days ago, and no one came to claim it after a few days, so they thought that the horse had no owner.

But the administrator was very stubborn and did not agree to their outrageous demands at all:

"A knight paid a lot of money and asked us to take good care of this horse."

The big man laughed: "The people in the capital have been gone for four or five days, and this horse has been abandoned."

"That's right! Our boss must have made a good judgment!"

Several younger brothers around him echoed him.

"If you offer a higher price than her, I will agree."

The administrator made a suggestion and looked at the reckless people who were making trouble with contempt.

The big man looked at each other and asked, "How much did you pay?"

"This number."

The administrator stretched out a palm and shook it in front of them.

"Fifty? Hahaha! I'll pay one hundred!"

The administrator shook his head, and the big man hesitated and continued to ask:

"Five hundred?"

The administrator did not speak and continued to stare at them.

"It's five thousand. "

When he said this number, the big men got furious.

"Fuck you! You sold us a horse for five thousand euros?"

"Are you taking this opportunity to blackmail us? "

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit him. The administrator put his hands in front of his eyes and shrank back.

The fist did not hit him, but he heard a scream.

He moved his hand away and widened his eyes in disbelief.

I saw a giant hand wrapped in lava, lifting the leading brother up.

The big man suddenly flew into the air, with a confused look on his face.

He didn't even know what happened.

Several younger brothers were terrified. They looked along the giant hand, and at the end was a man in a windbreaker.

There was also a strange one-eyed crow standing on his shoulder, chirping.

Behind him, an arm that seemed to be made of lava stretched out.

There were some red lines painted on the black windbreaker, and it seemed that lava was constantly flowing in it.

"That's my horse, do you have any objections?"
