Scepter of Truth

Chapter 12: Tangled

Views:

When Dean left in a hurry, Victor suddenly struck a spirit, retreated from an inexplicable state and returned to normal.

"What's wrong with me?"

Victor was shocked by his previous performance, "How can I easily believe a stranger I just met? Why did Dean believe everything I said without any doubt? Go to Greenland Te Island? I actually agreed to come down..."

Knowing that his mind was affected in some way, Victor hurriedly checked the real-time information record of the previous moment through Ultrain.

"Warning! Enter the range of unknown skills..."

"Trigger skill check..."

"The perception attribute is 13... The skill check failed..."

"Affected by the skill'Natural Charm'..."

"Natural Charm: Passive skill. When there is no malice, persuade skill +15, favorability +50."

"It is judged that this skill is not life threatening to the host, cancel the mandatory warning prompt..."

"..."

"Leaving the scope of the'natural charm'..."

"Return to normal..."

He sighed with lingering fears. Although Victor confirmed that Dean did not have any malice, he also remembered this lesson: Don’t despise anyone if your life is not fully guaranteed! !

"I believe Dean will be able to bring good news soon... In this case, I should also organize my belongings in advance and prepare for the trip."

Victor was packing his things while summarizing the progress he had made in half a month.

"Except for the first meditation and spell casting, all subsequent actions are carried out with the assistance of Ultrain..."

"I have to say that Ultrain is an existence against the sky!! With its assistance, the efficiency of analyzing and cracking spell models is really high... And because of this, I can master it in just a dozen days. All zero circle spells."

After finishing all the belongings, Victor scanned the house very emotionally. It was here and in this simple environment that he truly embarked on the path of a mage.

"I can't forget..."

Victor's heart was full of sadness, because he didn't know if he had a chance to return here.

"The Northern War... Why did I forget the cause of this war? I just remember that Carter City was destined to fall into blood and fire..."

Victor sighed, and he thought of Uncle Leo, Aunt Maria, and the cute little Penny, who became the mage himself, and couldn't be with them again in a short time.

"I have to think of a way! Tell this to Uncle Leo so that he can be prepared... But, as the chief paladin of the temple, will he still believe this heresy of me?"

Victor struggled. He didn't know what to do to deal with this matter.

At this moment, a "fluttering" wing flapping sounded!

An unremarkable little bird flapped its wings and flew into the house and landed on Victor's right shoulder.

Victor did not dodge because he sensed the mental fluctuation left by Dean.

"Mr. Victor..." Bird's eyes lit up, and Dean's voice appeared in Victor's mind. "My mentor has agreed! But before going to Greenland, he wants to personally See you..."

"Please make all preparations before you leave, I will pick you up tonight!"

"If everything goes well, we will leave early the day after tomorrow..."

"Animal messenger?"

Victor thought about it for a moment, and remembered this more commonly used spell.

When the message was delivered, the bird standing on Victor's shoulder chirped a few times, flapped its wings and flew away.

In a blink of an eye, it left Victor's field of vision and disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that Dean and his mentor are not far away from me..."

Based on the time and the speed of the bird's flight, Victor can easily calculate the approximate range of their location through Ultrain.

"Before meeting with Dean's mentor, I'd better take care of my own affairs!"

For Victor, what he cares most about... is the Leo family alone.

Walking along the narrow street, Victor returned to the alley in the downtown area of the old city. When passing by Uncle Leo's house, he glanced secretly.

"Sure enough... this place is deserted! Uncle Leo and the others should have returned to live in the City Lord's Mansion... Well, it may also be in the temple area. Now things are difficult to handle..."

Victor scratched his head very troubledly, "Perhaps, I can still do it like this..."

City Lord's Mansion.

Aunt Maria is no longer dressed as a civilian woman. She is wearing a long pullover cut from silk, a wide skirt that can almost cover her entire foot, a necklace made of jewels hanging around her neck, and a pair of noble ladies. Human style.

At this time, she was sitting on a luxurious wooden chair in the back garden, sewing a beautiful little skirt for her daughter.

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in Maria's ear, which made her tremble, and an unexpected look appeared on her face.

"Aunt Maria, it's me! Little Vic..."

"You don't need to say anything, just listen to me..."

Using the zero-ring spell "communication", Victor, who was located outside the city lord's mansion and found a suitable location, easily contacted Aunt Maria.

"... That's how it happened... Carter City is too dangerous. Uncle Leo must be prepared to be foolproof..."

"Aunt Maria, I'm leaving this city! You, Uncle Leo, and Nini are like relatives to me..."

"I am no longer suitable to meet with you... I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future... Let's stop here... Aunt Maria, goodbye!"

The desperate Maria murmured: "Oh, my poor little Vic... How did you become a mage?"

After giving the information to Aunt Maria, Victor's heart became clear and relieved.

In the middle of the night, Victor was quietly hiding in a dark corner near his residence.

"Boom boom boom..."

When the faint knock on the door sounded, he took a sneak peek.

"Dean! I'm here..."

Victor's voice rang in the dark corner behind Dean, and he was taken aback.

"You guy! Can't you still trust me?"

Dean said annoyedly: "I've never seen a guy so afraid of death like you..."

"Hey! That's because you can't see yourself..."

Victor replied indifferently: "If there are no other questions, can we set off?"

"Yes, follow me!!" Dean's voice was full of upset.

"rest assured."

Victor, dressed as an adventurer, took a deep look at his residence, and followed Dean out of it.
