When Duke Mendel walked out of the alchemy room with Victor and Lucien in his arms, the four people waiting outside had different expressions on their faces.

Fisher was relieved, Buffy was thoughtful, Sarach was surprised, and Perel was worried.

The prince knew very well what his aunt had, but was afraid that things would not be settled so easily.

No matter what these four people think, from the surface, the brothers' conflict is solved.

"Do you want to rush back right away?" Fisher pulled his old friend aside.

"I can't leave for too long, Lantiya will be suspicious." Fernandez sighed. This is the case when marrying a woman with a high status. She has to report wherever she goes.

"Do you think... she may already know Victor's existence?" Fisher didn't believe that Princess Notting was at all. Fernandez was born with love and had an irresistible attraction to women. For this reason, Lantia also built a special intelligence network to collect her husband's every move.

"You can't force yourself too quickly... She understands this." Fernandez waved to Lucien with a serious expression: "I have to rush back immediately, take the time to go back to Jingyao after the invigilator. Since you became the deputy commander of the Knights of the Apology, you haven't been back for two years, and your mother often talks to me."

"I can do it, father." Lucien sent Fernandez back to the inaugural station, while Victor did not travel with him on the grounds of inconvenience. He ran contrary to the figures of the father and son who gradually moved away, and the lich returned to the single dormitory.

It was not until he arrived at the border gate of the inn that Fernandez called his silent son again.

"Do you hate me too?"

"I always thought you would be an exception, after all, my mother..."

"Ha~" Hearing the hint in Lucien's words, Fernandez, who stood with his hands behind his back, couldn't help but sneer: "Speak for your mother? Lucien, you are not mature enough. I don't understand that in the imperial family, some things can't be done by thinking. Lantia and I are both people who do whatever they want for their own purposes. For nineteen years, she has never given up removing Lea and Victor. And I... also for my own ideals, I have never looked at my beloved woman. Strictly speaking, neither of them is qualified to complain about each other. She is for love and for power, and they are not owed each other."

"Where is Victor?" To this day, Lucien still resists calling that person brother, elder brother.

"He is just the son of my favorite woman."

Lucien was stunned by his cold words.

The difference between biological mothers is just that there is such a big difference. My father is probably just a mentality of exploitation towards him.

Thinking of this, Lucien couldn't help but feel a little pity for Victor, and his earlier hostility mentality also reduced a lot.

"Be kind to him, whether it is sincere or not, Victor is a brother who is connected with your blood. No matter what his future achievements will be, it will be an indispensable powerful help for you." The world gate was filled with white light, and Fernandez reminded him again before leaving.

Lucien nodded and said that he would try his best.

At the inn, the father and son were still discussing their attitude towards Victor. In the Alchemy Academy, the lich had already focused his thinking on the exam.

Although the situation today is turning around and the rapid change catches Victor a little off guard, fortunately, Grand Duke Mendel did not investigate in depth and the fact that he replaced the real Wood was not exposed for the time being. The rest... is to fulfill the agreement with Fisher.

Since even the examiners of the prison were replaced, the Davao mine will not be opened again. Thinking of what I saw in the mine, Victor wanted to discuss with Fisher, but he felt that it was inappropriate.

The underground caves are full of exposed magic crystal ore rough stones. If they are re-minded, Mivira will develop into another important place of origin of the magic crystal no less than that of Jingyao. However... it is not clear who can get the mining rights of the crystal ore. For example, local nobles, such as Jaladi, it is simply a dream to get the mining rights. There is no airtight wall in the world, and the hatred of killing children cannot be hidden from the Baron for too long. Sooner or later, he will know that Frost wolf is the killer favored by Mendel.

While thinking about how to inquire about the rights of crystal mine mining at Fisher, the sound of footsteps gradually sounded in the corridor, and Victor couldn't help but feel surprised.

Why is Lucien back?

The wooden doors of some eras were pushed open, and the young paladin was alone. At this moment, he had turned back to what Fernandez said of a kind and elegant nobleman. His smiley expression was completely different from the seriousness of fighting. It was hard to imagine that he was fighting with himself for a moment.

"Is there something wrong?" The lich sitting beside the bed thinking did not get up. His pale fingertips raised a slight black light, and the deadly spell was ready to be issued at any time.

Taking a deep breath, Lucien suppressed his displeasure and explained his purpose: "According to my father's instructions, let me tell you what the exam will be tomorrow."

"Oh..." Even with an obvious expression, Victor still did not relax his vigilance. The undead had no absolute allies, let alone trust in things other than himself.

"The spider monsters in the cave have exceeded the ability of ordinary candidates. After discussing with other examiners, I modified the examination location of the second level."

"Other examiners?" There were only two examiners in the five gates and four candidates, and two of them did not show up. When Lucien mentioned other examiners, Victor couldn't help but have the idea of ​​inquiring.

"You are very familiar with the physical examination, Fisher. In order to avoid suspicion, he gave up the on-site invigilator and transferred his power to Buffy." Lucien's explanation made Victor finally understand why the physical examination should be collaborated with the team. It turns out that the old man didn't want his disciples to know his identity too early.

"Since I'm willing to let go, why not tell me where the new exam room is? "I was not interested in playing a word game with Lucien, and Victor asked for a long story short.

“Taiah Forest.”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the hall of the Adventure Guild, the remaining more than 60 candidates were nervously looking forward to the arrival of the new examiner.

When Lucien appeared in his shiny chain mail, everyone's mentality immediately changed drastically. Victor, who was originally regarded as a thorn in his eyes, became much more pleasing to them.

"Day, everyone."

Despite his youth, Lucien overwhelmed Pa'an in momentum. He swept his eyes with his forceful pressure immediately stopped the whistle and discussion.

"I am your new examiner, Lucien. Of course, I don't mind you calling me the Crystal Knight." Except for extraordinary times, Lucien usually does not use family surnames. As a priest who dedicates everything to his faith, at most he will be given his own position when introducing.

The deliberate publicity did not arouse any more contempt, and not to mention that Lucien has been a knight for some time. For those who take the Adventurer exam, this young man is the one they long for.

He left home at the age of twelve, abandoned his noble status, started from the ordinary intern class, and relied on his own strength to jump several levels in a few years. All qualities are in line with the dream of the common people to successfully take office.

"Due to the failure of the former invigilator, the second exam was suspended, and the church specially sent me to take over his job." After a brief introduction, Lucien went straight to the topic: "After discussing with other examiners, I felt that the danger coefficient of the mine was too high and was not suitable for use as an examination venue, so I decided to move the test site to Taia Forest."

"Taia?" The discussion that had not been calmed down has reopened. The candidates did not think that ancient forest would be much better than the mine.

"Since Mivira is one of the designated capture sites for the Wolf Warriors, catching a young wolf is not a difficult task for you." Lucien's so-called "water release" to Victor did not make other candidates happy. Their reaction was similar to when they learned that the test site was in the mine.

Compared with sword spiders, the risk is reduced, but the difficulty has not changed. Wolf Warriors are known for their bravery and are also social creatures.

"Because of some special reasons, physique and survival ability are combined. Therefore, the rules are the same as mine tracks, and you need to hike. I have estimated that you can reach the edge of the Te'a Forest in two days. You don't have to worry about food and accommodation, there are villages similar to Davao there." When talking about the village, Lucien glanced at Victor standing on the edge of the candidate and found that he was seriously distracted.

"Your Excellency." A candidate asked: "The same monsters as those in the mines will not appear this time, are they? Those wolves..."

"If you can't even deal with Wolf Warriors, the Adventurer exam will make no sense. Do you think so?" Lucien blocked other candidates who wanted to complain.

After that, just like a few days ago, I still gave the candidates enough time to prepare. However, unlike last time, there was one more person around Victor.

[Stay away from me.] Even if the situation requires it, the lich still cannot bear to sit so close to a guy with infinite holy power all over his body.

"My father told me to get closer to you." Lucien was very satisfied with seeing the ugly expression of "brother". He didn't mind using this method to cultivate the relationship between brothers.

[I don't want to be told by other candidates to go through the back door.]

"Don't worry, the battle last night was deliberately exaggerated by Buffy, and I and you bothered each other and fought." Patting Victor's shoulder, Lucien's special care was an obvious act of finding fault in the eyes of those who did not know the truth.

For candidates, Victor is equated with the evil mage. Although no one has seen him do anything evil, the characteristics of the undead will strengthen this subconscious feeling, especially after the puppet corpse was eroded by sacred objects and spider poisons, Victor became more and more difficult to hide the gradual leak of death aura.

[So you just want to trouble me rightfully?]
