Duke Levi glared at Victor and left without saying a word.

As for Victor,

From beginning to end, he had no intention of explaining anything.

Helping Duke Levi was just a matter of convenience. Although he did need the strength of the Duke's family to do something, there was no need to tell Duke Levi these words.

Victor had a better candidate.

He waited outside the city gate for a while, and soon waited for Gwen who was jogging over.

Gwen was anxious as if she was chasing someone, and she stopped after seeing Victor.

"I've been waiting for you."

He said to Gwen who came as if he knew Gwen would definitely come to him.

But Gwen didn't show any good face to Victor.

"Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Victor saw that there were many mages around who had not left yet, and looked towards the two of them.

"Let's talk about it later."

Victor indicated that Gwen was in a crowded place now, and it would be better to tell her some things in private.

Gwen received his hint and nodded.

"Get in my carriage."

"Okay."

Gwen agreed without thinking much.

The two walked together, and when they arrived at the carriage, Victor stretched out a hand to Gwen.

Gwen didn't understand what he meant and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing her like this, Victor shook his head and explained: "This is a necessary basic etiquette when inviting women."

"Troublesome etiquette."

Gwen complained, and even didn't notice the strange eyes coming from the surroundings, and put her hand on Victor's hand.

Under Victor's guidance, the two got on the carriage together, the door closed, and the carriage drove away quickly.

Victor looked out the window, and the various complex expressions on the faces of those people made him very satisfied.

Then, he covered the curtains.

Presumably, after this meeting, tomorrow's public opinion will have a new direction.

He turned his head and looked at Gwen again.

Gwen took out a bag from her waist first.

"This is what you want."

She handed the bag to Victor, who was a little confused, but still took it.

When he opened it, he saw all kinds of red crystals in different shapes.

He suddenly remembered the reason he had told Gwen before.

Victor was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gwen to remember these things.

He really needed this kind of thing to make some special magic props, but these were just by the way.

When he left the volcano, he felt a little sorry that he didn't collect some, but it didn't matter.

Unexpectedly, Gwen actually collected some for him.

Victor felt warm in his heart, but he was not such a hypocritical person, so he put the bag into the player's backpack.

"Thank you."

Gwen looked at Victor with a little funny feeling, with a mocking tone.

"I didn't expect you to say thank you."

"Then it's your turn to explain."

Victor nodded and said:

"I've already said it in front of the emperor."

"You were there too, so you should know if I'm telling the truth."

Gwen suddenly said to him coldly:

"You should understand that this is not what I want to ask."

She and Victor grew up together. If Victor was kind enough to stop the volcanic eruption to save everyone, Gwen would never believe it.

Victor has shown his cold-blooded side since he was a child.

If he has to make necessary trade-offs, he will choose to gain his own interests even if it means sacrificing the people of a town.

"What is your purpose in triggering a volcanic eruption?"

"Purpose..."

Victor thought about it. Why did he prepare to follow Gwen when he heard the news that she was going to the volcano?

Obviously, he could go there alone later.

Without the Knights following him, perhaps Victor could do all this more secretly.

By the time the capital found out, everything would have been over.

It wouldn't have caused such a big stir, or even let all the third-level mages in the capital get involved.

But...

"Maybe it's because of you."

"Because of me?"

Gwen was stunned, and even her sense of justice trembled a little.

Under the surveillance of her sense of justice, Gwen could see that Victor was obviously not lying.

In other words, he did have this idea.

'Wait a minute, if it's because of me...'

He went to the crater alone, just to challenge the monster in the volcano.

It turned out to be for her?

Gwen couldn't figure it out. Could it be that VictorDoes Ktor think he will be in danger?

‘That Victor, would he actually think like that…? ’

Gwen put one hand on her chest and clearly felt her heart beating faster.

Even if she was emotionally dull, she had some guesses in her heart.

Could Victor like her?

Otherwise, how to explain all this!

Hearing that she was going to such a dangerous place as the volcano, he ran here in the middle of the night just to go with her.

Living in the same room together and satisfying so many of her unreasonable requests.

In order to prevent danger from happening on the volcano, he went to suppress the monsters under the volcano in advance.

“This, this…”

Gwen’s rationality told her that she shouldn’t think like that, and Victor couldn’t possibly like her.

He was obviously such a selfish person….

But her sense of justice would never go wrong.

‘If he really likes me, what should I do? ’

Gwen’s heart was a little confused.

As for Victor, he was still thinking there.

‘Well… it’s because of her. ’

On the one hand, Victor really wanted to fight the Crucible Beast, and wanted to test himself now, how long it would take to defeat the opponent.

On the other hand, Gwen would have to leave the capital for a long time on a mission.

This was very dangerous for him.

If Gwen was still in the capital, he could still learn about Gwen's movements through Leah.

But if Gwen went to the volcano.

Who could imagine what kind of opportunities she would encounter?

Victor made a bold guess, maybe Gwen suddenly fell off the cliff, awakened the sleeping Crucible Beast, and ended up fighting with the Lava Beast and got some of its power.

This is not impossible.

Since Gwen in the game has survived to the end, then, without his influence, Gwen's mission will definitely not go wrong.

In order to avoid his own death, he tried his best to suppress Gwen.

At least he had to let Gwen act under his nose all the time, so that he could feel at ease.

So it was not just a casual remark that Victor chose to go to the volcano with Gwen and defeat Guldun in advance because of Gwen.

The two had different thoughts, and Victor didn't know what Gwen was thinking, but such an explanation should be able to convince Gwen.

After all, he really thought so.

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

"No... No, where have you been these days?"

Gwen suddenly asked.

These are the questions she wants to know most.

These days, due to Victor's disappearance, almost everyone thought that Victor was absconding from the crime, and even more rumors spread that he had died in the volcano.

During the days when he was missing, the situation of the Cravenner family was also very bad.

The business was attacked by competitors, and the mansion was blocked by many people every day and various things were thrown into the courtyard.

It is conceivable how much Victor was hated, so that after his "death", a lot of people came to retaliate against him.

It's hard for Leah to hold on for so long alone.

"I was injured and found a place to heal."

Victor explained.

Strictly speaking, this sentence was not a lie either. He was indeed injured in the three-day and three-night battle with Gulerton.

Although the injury was not serious, it was indeed a reasonable reason for healing.

Moreover, after the battle, he was really in a coma for three days and three nights.

As long as it was true, Gwen's sense of justice would not judge it as a lie.

"Is that monster... so strong?"

Gwen couldn't imagine that with Victor's strength, he was actually injured so seriously.

It took so many days to recover, obviously the monster was so powerful that it was outrageous.

At this time, she suddenly remembered what the old woman in Sanchel Town said:

In the volcano, there is a volcano god sealed.

This kind of legend may not necessarily be used as evidence, but since that kind of thing can be called a god, its strength is naturally not to be underestimated.

Victor closed his eyes and used magic to create a sense of picture for Gwen.

Red magic energy began to entangle around Gwen.

Gwen felt the surrounding scene changing rapidly, and the sky suddenly darkened.

"It's very strong."

He synchronized his feelings with Gwen.

The temperature in the carriage suddenly rose, and at this moment, Gwen seemed to see the monster as if she was there.

The flames were raging, as if the devil had descended.

Victor dispersed the magic, and Gwen was a little dazed.

Victor, actually defeated that thing for her...

"...INo problem."

Gwen was speechless.

"Then, I'll take you home."

Victor cast a spell, and the first-level magic in his hands was as simple as sprinkling water.

A green magic energy flew out from his fingertips and wrapped around the wheel.

The carriage turned in a direction and drove towards Gwen's home.

This is the advantage of being a mage.

Sitting in the carriage, you don't even need a driver to drive.

Then the two were speechless.

Soon they arrived at Gwen's mansion, and Victor watched Gwen get off the car.

"By the way."

Before leaving, Victor called Gwen.

"Thank you for covering my lie in front of His Majesty. "

Gwen turned around and was about to say something.

The carriage had already turned around and left.

She watched Victor leave in a trance, standing at the door with a complicated mood.

The maids were surprised to see Gwen coming down in the carriage of the Cravenner family, and whispered:

"Doesn't the young lady hate Victor the most?"

"This time she came back in Victor's carriage?"

"Could it be that..."

They talked more and more excitedly, and even blushed when they talked about the key points.

They didn't notice that there was a footstep behind them.

'What are you talking about? What's good? Why don't you talk with me? "

The maids looked back and saw a smiling woman walking out of the house and lowered her head quickly.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Miss."

The woman came out with a smile on her face and said:

"Yeah, don't be absent during work hours."

"Okay, I'm going to meet my sister whom I haven't seen for a long time."
