The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 427: I Have a Bold Idea
Those emerald snake-like eyes shot forth two arrow-sharp and ice-cold gazes, seemingly carrying an invisible chill and sense of danger.
Erica felt Sapphirose's piercing intensity and seemed frozen in place.
She couldn't help but swallow, feeling her heart pounding, blood surging and rushing to her brain.
This was a... pressure impossible to describe.
She was already a third-tier mage.
Even some veteran mages might not match her current level.
Yet under this strange woman's gaze, she didn't know how to respond.
It felt like being spotted by a venomous snake hidden in dense forest.
Her body dared not move.
If she made the slightest movement, she would be fatally struck by this coiled venomous snake.
There was absolutely no possibility of resistance.
Bang!
A sudden dull sound interrupted Erica's thoughts.
She snapped back to reality as a cold breeze blew past, making her body feel chilled.
She took a sharp breath, feeling her body damp and cold, soaked with cold sweat.
What just happened?
Erica quickly looked toward Viktor and Sapphirose.
She saw Sapphirose suddenly clutching her head with both hands, crouching down in pain.
Viktor stood behind her, one hand suspended above her head, clenched into a fist.
The oppressive feeling that had enveloped her earlier had vanished like smoke, and even the bone-chilling cold gradually receded.
Erica finally recovered, her face turning slightly red as blood flowed back.
It seemed Professor Viktor had just punched her.
At this moment, Viktor withdrew his hand, looking at Sapphirose who was crouching in pain, and spoke coldly:
"Apologize."
With this icy voice, the atmosphere around them grew increasingly cold.
Sensing the atmosphere turning awkward, Erica, having recovered, hastily spoke:
"No, no, no, that's not necessary."
But Viktor seemed not to have heard Erica's words and continued to coldly stare at the crouching Sapphirose:
"Apologize."
Sapphirose also recovered and stood up again.
Although she had just taken a punch, judging by her expressionless face, it was as if nothing had happened.
And those emerald snake eyes returned to calmness.
Her aura was perfectly controlled, yet one could still sense that faint danger.
She followed Viktor's instruction, bowing to Erica in apology.
"I'm very sorry, but it was a necessary protective measure."
"If it happens again, I would still do the same."
"Uh..."
Erica's tone paused briefly, as she slightly examined Sapphirose before her.
This woman gave her a very strange feeling.
She looked human, but gave the impression of a wild beast mimicking human behavior.
However, due to the current situation, Erica suppressed her inner doubts and didn't ask this question.
But just as she was curious, Viktor gave Sapphirose another cold look and said coldly:
"Remember, I never need your protection."
"Don't do such things again."
Hearing Viktor's words, Erica felt even more... uncomfortable.
The Professor Viktor from before, though equally cold to people, would never express himself like this.
It was as if... he was commanding a tool, a machine.
More terrifying was that Sapphirose, hearing these words, didn't say much.
She just lowered her head, processing Viktor's message.
Then she responded very calmly:
"Yes."
Sapphirose's attitude made Erica widen her eyes.
She couldn't help but wonder.
What exactly was the relationship between these two!?
Wait, this kind of behavior, isn't it...
Training... like a pet!?
When this word involuntarily jumped into Erica's mind, her cheeks instantly flushed.
Her hands trembled, her face burning, unable to suppress her outlandish thoughts.
Was Professor Viktor so bold?
In broad daylight, he dared to train... no, that's not right!
Erica couldn't believe this was something Professor Viktor would do.
In half a year, Erica would be an adult.
Though she had never experienced such things, she had at least heard about them.
But thinking that Professor Viktor was doing this, she felt both curious and a hint of anger she couldn't suppress.
How could Professor Viktor do this! He has a fiancée!
No, she must get to the bottom of this!
With this thought, Erica stuttered as she opened her mouth to speak to Viktor:
"Pro... Professor Viktor, you..."
"It seems you have something to say to me."
Before Erica could finish, Viktor had already interrupted what she was about to ask.
He looked at the stammering Erica, his tone seemingly carrying a hint of confusion.
Perhaps because of Viktor's sudden interruption, Erica's words briefly paused.
Suddenly feeling that asking directly would certainly be inappropriate, she hurriedly changed her approach:
"Ah, yes! I do have something I want to discuss with you."
Viktor nodded, turned to look at the towering mage tower, and calmly responded:
"Then let's go inside to talk."
As he finished speaking, Viktor stepped first into the already activated teleportation array in front of the mage tower.
Sapphirose followed closely behind him like an attendant.
The azure array enveloped the two, and azure ripples passed over them.
With the activation of the array, Viktor and Sapphirose transformed into two faint points of light and disappeared from the spot.
The teleportation array still radiated light, seemingly waiting for the next person to enter.
Watching the two disappear, Erica's head buzzed with confusion, her mind in chaos.
Professor Viktor... actually brought a strange woman into his mage tower!?
She dared not imagine what they might do if she weren't here!
And what did that woman just say...?
"Professor Viktor... is her man?"
This...
Erica quickly shook her head, casting away all those ambiguous thoughts from her mind.
No, no, Professor Viktor wouldn't do such things.
She must be too sensitive after not seeing the professor for so long.
She hurriedly approached the teleportation array leading into the mage tower, also transforming into a point of azure light, her body gradually dissipating.
...
Click—
Erica pushed open the door.
Stepping on the soft fur carpet, an ancient and serene woody scent entered Erica's nostrils.
She looked up to see Viktor sitting leisurely in a chair.
Sapphirose, dressed in a robe, stood quietly behind Viktor, emanating a subtle dangerous aura.
The moment Viktor saw Erica enter, he casually waved his hand.
A chair automatically floated over and was placed behind Erica.
"Thank you, Professor."
After politely expressing her gratitude, Erica sat down.
Next, the teapot on the table floated, automatically poured a cup of water, and floated to Erica.
She calmly took the cup, blew on it, and carefully took a sip.
Running all the way here had indeed left her somewhat parched.
Except for within the teaching building, teleportation magic was prohibited in other parts of the academy.
Otherwise, she could have used a teleportation spell to directly teleport to Professor Viktor's vicinity.
After taking a sip of water, she cleared her throat, facing Viktor with a serious expression, and said:
"It's like this, Professor Viktor."
"You remember the Reiser family, right?"
Viktor nodded.
Of course he remembered, after all, the Kravina family's current influence was largely thanks to the Reiser family.
Prestige, elves, weapons—these were more or less provided with the help of the Reiser family.
One could say that the entire Reiser family were all great benefactors.
At least for Viktor, that was the case.
So, when he heard the name of the Reiser family, Viktor thought these people were coming to do charity again.
But Erica appeared extremely serious:
"If it were just other members of the Reiser family, I wouldn't come to notify you."
"But this time, the head of the Reiser family has returned."
Viktor narrowed his eyes, leaning back slightly.
The head of the Reiser family, the father of Jace Reiser and Devon Reiser.
The husband of the old emperor's sister, Lady Cassandra.
It was said that this family head was a genius.
The Advanced City—Tiyebo.
This technological city that appeared in the medieval era was established based on his drafted proposal.
It was said that the head of the Reiser family was originally just an ordinary merchant,
Who somehow married the emperor's sister and gained royal support.
Since then, he had shown his boundless talent.
Under his economic operations, the Reiser family quickly became the wealthiest family in the Carenthia Empire.
The economic lifeline of the entire southern empire was firmly grasped by the Reiser family.
One could say that the head of the Reiser family was like the god of commerce in the Carenthia Empire.
But in subsequent times, he left the empire and went to a place no one knew.
And now, he has returned?
Viktor raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.
Although the Reiser family's influence had indeed declined somewhat, this was only in comparison to the Kravina family.
Controlling the economic lifeline of the southern empire, and having connections with the royal family.
No matter what, the Reiser family couldn't have fallen too far.
"So?"
Viktor's gaze was profound as he looked at the serious-faced Erica.
And Erica continued:
"My father said that some time ago, during the period when you left the empire to visit the kingdom, the second prince went to Tiyebo."
"It's said he went to find the crown prince."
The message Duke Levi wanted to convey to Viktor was very simple.
Simply put, the Reiser family supported the crown prince, and the second prince went to seek out the crown prince.
Coincidentally, that was the time when Aubrey personally stated he would pass the throne to Princess Aurelianne.
Although it was just verbal at the time, it was still announced by Aubrey himself in front of numerous nobles.
Even if it was just casual talk, the impact it brought was enormous.
Although after saying this, Viktor and Aurelianne left.
But in the month after they left, the empire was far from peaceful.
After all, the nobles supporting the crown prince and the second prince were not few.
Some even staked all their family wealth on it.
If they were truly willing to watch Aubrey pass the throne so easily to the princess,
Their final outcome would be a complete waste of effort.
So, those nobles advised what needed advising, said what needed saying.
They told the emperor not to rush the succession of the throne, to wait a bit longer.
The emperor's body was still robust, there was no need to rush to determine the successor.
Besides, where was the logic in passing the throne to a princess?
All these years, the empire had never had an empress.
Some ministers even began hunger strikes in protest.
And now, even the head of the Reiser family was about to return to the royal capital.
Clearly, everyone was resisting the matter of passing the throne to the princess.
Hearing this, Viktor thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh as he said:
"So, the second prince went to collaborate with the crown prince?"
"He doesn't want the throne anymore?"
