Chapter 30
Victor appeared in the surprise of everyone, and his crimson windbreaker made people feel more dangerous.
"Your Majesty, Victor Cravenner is here."
The eunuch reminded Emperor Aubrey on the side.
The surrounding mages looked at each other and asked each other:
"Victor Cravenner? Is he the head of the Cravenner family?"
"Didn't they say that Victor wanted to cause a volcanic eruption and died inside the volcano?"
"He didn't die, but came back?"
A mage suddenly asked Victor:
"Victor! You sinner! How dare you come to the palace to see His Majesty!"
Victor heard what the man said, and his tone was cold.
"Crime? What crime did I commit?"
He looked back at the source of the voice.
The cold eyes were like an ice spear, piercing the mage's heart fiercely, making him feel as if he fell into an ice cave.
However, soon, a burning resentment spread throughout his body.
As if he were there, the next second, he fell to the bottom of Mount Vesuvius.
The intense heat made him start to feel breathless...
Is that magic?
Someone could actually cultivate the oppression of magic to be so terrifying!
Suddenly, Victor retracted his gaze and looked at the king again.
"Ha! Huh..."
The wizard pinched his neck, breathing heavily, craving for the gentle air.
Revenge, that was Victor's revenge!
He was panicking and sweating.
But even so, he needed to stand up and question Victor here.
"You... the sinner who almost caused a volcanic eruption!"
"Even if you didn't die, you committed the crime of fleeing for fear of crime! How dare you come back!"
"Heh."
Victor smiled contemptuously and never looked at him again.
"I came here at the order of the Emperor, but you keep asking me why I dare to come back?"
"Does that mean... you have more power than His Majesty?"
The mage was busy shutting up. Some things required him to come out as an introduction, but he didn't dare to respond to this.
But his goal had been achieved.
Others would help him say some things.
Other mages quickly took over the conversation, and their words were full of hostility towards Victor.
"Your Majesty, the head of the Cravenner family is simply making trouble!"
"He didn't mention his crimes at all, and he slandered the ministers and Your Majesty!"
"Please convict him, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Aubrey waved his hand, and the eunuchs around him shouted immediately.
"Silence!"
In the hall, everyone shut up obediently.
But they still stared at Victor with hatred, wishing to peel off his skin and drink his blood.
There was no way, because he was Victor Cravenner.
He was originally hated.
The second prince, who was in the crowd, shook his head.
It was a pity that Victor was not forced into a desperate situation.
But... he did not die in the volcano.
The second prince still remembered the descriptions of many wizards at that time.
The mouth of the volcano burst out with amazing energy, instantly suppressing the tendency of the volcanic eruption.
If Victor was really inside the volcano at that time, trying to make the volcano erupt.
Then under that energy, he would not be able to survive.
"Tsk, what a pity."
The emperor stretched out his hand and hooked at Victor, and the eunuch beside him immediately shouted in the hall:
"Victor Cravenna! Come forward to the trial!"
Victor walked to the nearest position of His Majesty and waited for questioning.
The emperor opened his eyes and stared at Victor, and asked: "Did you trigger the eruption of Mount Vesuvius?"
Hearing this question, everyone present couldn't help but stretch their necks, curious about what answer Victor would give.
Or rather, what they hoped for more was Victor's sophistry.
Gwen was also curious, and she hoped that Victor could tell the truth.
Tell the truth that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Gwen could stand beside the emperor, not just as his majesty's guard.
Her role was crucial, and she, with a sense of justice, could easily distinguish true and false lies.
So, when the emperor asked Victor, Gwen's eyes stayed on Victor.
The sense of justice had already been activated.
"The abnormal movement of the volcano was indeed caused by me."
"Hiss--"
Victor admitted frankly.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath when they heard the truth, and Gwen's heart also skipped a beat.
She couldn't believe it was true, but the sense of justice told her the truth.
"Victor, you didn't lie."
Gwen spoke and judged the truth of Victor.
And this sentence almost ignited the emotions of everyone present.They were like a volcano that suddenly erupted in silence, pointing at Victor and starting to rant and rant:
"Asshole! Do you know what you did!"
"You are the murderer who almost killed everyone!"
"Volcanic eruption, a natural disaster of this level, do you know how much responsibility you have!?"
Gwen also had an unbearable emotion in her heart.
Victor became the murderer who led the volcanic eruption, and the person who found it most difficult to accept was her.
Gwen felt extremely guilty.
If the natural disaster came, she would be the biggest sinner.
She did not refuse Victor's company, and in the end, she almost caused a disaster.
"But, I was also the one who stopped the volcanic eruption."
Suddenly, Gwen raised her head, and a clear look of horror flashed in her eyes.
"Victor, I didn't lie..."
Duke Levi, who had been kneeling on the ground with an expressionless face, suddenly raised his head.
When Victor aroused everyone's anger, his next words suppressed everyone's mouths again.
Along with Gwen's righteous judgment, this sentence was like a piece of thousand-year-old ice that sealed the volcano, and everyone present fell into endless silence again.
All the mages present saw the scene clearly.
At the moment when the volcano was about to erupt, the amazing white light shot up into the sky and ruthlessly suppressed the volcano.
That was definitely not the magic that humans could possess.
And at this moment, Victor actually said that he had stopped the volcano from erupting.
Even the mother of the volcano dared not think so!
But, Gwen actually said, Victor, did not lie?
Aubrey looked at the reactions of the crowd, looked at Victor again, and asked.
"Victor, what is your reason for doing this?"
Victor knew that if he told a lie, Gwen would see through it.
He didn't think too much, so he just told the truth about the volcano directly.
Sincerity is the biggest killer move.
"Your Majesty, under the volcano, there is a terrifying monster named 'Gulton' sealed."
"If you don't solve this monster now, it will break through the seal in a year and a half, causing the volcano to erupt completely."
"By then, the scale of the natural disaster will be enough to engulf the world."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, stared at Victor and asked:
"So, you solved the monster?"
Victor put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly.
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
At this moment, even if Gwen did not stand up to confirm his authenticity.
The mages were all anxious.
"Your Majesty! Don't believe Victor's lies! He must have made up a lie to shirk responsibility!"
"It's pure rumor! How could there be a monster under the volcano! Even if there is, how could Victor be able to deal with such a powerful monster?"
"We all saw the magic at that time. That kind of magic energy is simply not something that humans can possess!"
"At least it's not something that a third-level wizard like Victor can do!"
The surrounding wizards once again pointed their spearheads at Victor.
"In our opinion, Victor is lying!"
Only a few third-level wizards did not speak, including Count Baker.
He lowered his head and looked at the wizards around him who were on good terms with him. Similarly, they were also looking at Baker.
They all remembered the crazy old woman in Sanchel Town.
'The legend of the volcano god... is true. '
The king turned his head and glanced at Gwen, who nodded, indicating that Victor was not lying.
"Knight Commander Gwen, if I remember correctly, you are engaged to Victor, right?"
The second prince said as he walked out of the crowd.
Gwen was stunned for a moment when she heard his question, and then nodded.
"Even when we went to investigate the volcano, the wizard Miss Gwen applied for was Victor."
"And Victor has been missing for seven or eight days, don't you really know what he did?"
The second prince smiled, but his words were obviously heartbreaking.
Now, many wizards reacted.
Gwen was not to be outdone, staring at the second prince firmly, and said: "Your Highness, are you questioning me?"
The second prince smiled slightly when he heard this and nodded.
"Please understand that this is a reasonable suspicion."
The emperor spoke at this time and said, "Gwen's sense of justice will never go wrong."
The second prince bowed to the emperor:
"Father, please allow me to say frankly that the sense of justice can indeed distinguish the truth from the falsehood in other words."
"But who can distinguish the truth from the falsehood in Gwen's words?"
Other mages' eyes lit up when they heard it.
"Yes! Gwen is Victor's fiancée!"
"I was almost fooled by this sinister couple!"
"What the second prince said makes sense. How can we tell the truth from the lies in Gwen's words?"
The mages were very grateful. If the second prince hadn't suddenly appeared to save the situation, Victor and his wife would have almost turned the tables.
Sure enough, the second prince was extremely smart.
Gwen opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but facing the doubts of the mages around her, she was so anxious that she couldn't say a word, and even her eyes were red with anger.
As a knight, she can defend her country and fight in battle.
But if she were to talk, she would never be able to compare with these eloquent mages in her life.
"So, Your Highness, are you questioning my strength? "
At this time, Victor spoke.
He did not look back at the Second Prince, and none of the mages behind him could see his expression at this moment.
The Second Prince narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking very relaxed.
"Sir Victor, I think everyone present knows your talent."
"But in order to hide your actions, you had to make up a so-called monster."
"Sir Victor, you are just a third-level mage."
"Isn't it a little thoughtless to boast like this? "
His words were deeply rooted in people's hearts.
With so many third-level mages present, no one would believe that it was Victor who stopped the eruption of the volcano alone.
They couldn't do it, and Victor, who was also a third-level mage, couldn't do it either.
Because the pride of these mages didn't allow Victor to be stronger than themselves who were at the same level.
So they wouldn't believe it.
But at this moment, Victor, who was originally standing there, disappeared.
Everyone widened their eyes, trying to find Victor's trace.
Instead, a ball of fire rose into the sky.
"Victor, where did you go?"
In an instant, countless exquisite magic arrays were generated above the second prince's head, rotating endlessly.
The number was so large that all the mages present could not see a single line clearly.
"What kind of array is this?"
"Why are the lines so messy... No! The lines are too complicated, and I can't understand them at all!"
"What is going on? "
All the mages present were shocked. They wanted to stop it and see through it, but the temperature in the room suddenly rose sharply.
At this moment, they couldn't even calm down to release their magic power.
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
"Quick... Look! That, is that Victor! ? "
A mage pointed at the sky in horror.
Victor's figure was bathed in flames, and his figure gradually took the shape of a fire golem that touched the roof, burning like the sun, dazzling.
The strong heat made the walls around the hall begin to burn, and even the ground above the hall began to crack due to the high temperature.
His eyes stared coldly at the second prince, and the condescending pressure made the second prince dare not breathe.
"You said I'm not strong enough? "
Out of thin air, a flame ignited on the clothes of the second prince.
The smoke gradually rose, but under the strong temperature, he could not even feel that he was burning in the flames.
Gwen stood in front of the king and blocked the blazing light emitted by Victor with his enchanted armor.
"Then let's speak with strength."
Buzz-buzz-buzz-
Countless magic arrays made a chaotic sound, covering the doubts of everyone present, and gradually merged.
I don't know which wizard suddenly looked at the sky in horror and shouted:
"That is... fourth-level magic!"
