Vans' dead body lay on the ground, Niko's shot had blown his stomach apart, and the death was instant. Victor laughed loudly, Sandra was in a panic, she was crying."Niko, bring him back already."Niko first used healing magic, it completely restored his body, she managed to reconstruct it quickly, then she used magic to resurrect Vans. He woke up gasping, he looked desperate, magic caused that in people, the experience was far from pleasant, but still necessary."The magic needs to be improved and softened, you have to stop using too much mana at once, we're going to end up drawing too much attention," Victor said to Niko. "And you, try not to be inconvenient, be more cautious next time," he said to Vans, who was embarrassed, but used to death in combat."Don't worry about it," Eris said, as she hugged Sandra and gently stroked her head. "She's always been like this, her recklessness is frightening, but don't worry about it," she finished with a soft kiss, and Sandra pulled herself t

Vans was in the mansion's alchemy room. In truth, it was not an alchemy room, just an empty room that Vans had asked to use. The Duke did not mind, Vans placed all his equipment there, and after that, the room became an alchemy room. His routine was disciplined, almost rehearsed, always the same movements of grinding herbs, then placing them into the cauldron, applying mana with light magic, and waiting for it to cool before pouring the potion into flasks. While one potion cooled, he repeated the entire process in another cauldron, he had four cauldrons. Victor was curious about the Hero's sword, he was training with Lysandra while trying to uncover some hidden power within it. Vans could not use the glasses' ability, so Victor had to figure it out on his own. But nothing happened, it seemed to be just an ordinary mythril sword. That was strange, the expectation was that the Hero would use enchanted weapons or ones with unique abilities, using a common sword would be unexpected and

Victor reacted well to everything that had happened with Vesta, in fact, he could not stop laughing. Vesta did not know whether he was angry or not, Eris knew, but she did not want to explain. The situation was indeed amusing, but that did not matter at that moment. Victor wanted to explain everything he had planned.For now, he and the others were still living in the Duke’s mansion, Carmine did not want them to leave yet, especially because of Victor’s plan, which was still in progress. At that moment, food was becoming more expensive, Victor wanted the Duke to wait a few more days before selling cheap food in the market, this would show that he had made an effort. Or at least, it would make him be remembered, people would remember paying more for food and would remember the man who started selling it for less.The plan was simple and perfect, Victor h

The man with the two swords was Jack the Ripper, captain of the royal guard, and the second man was the vice captain.In short, the receptionist could do nothing, since that man was her superior. Even so, Vesta was accused of assault, but the captain said he would drop the charges, since he was in a good mood.Vesta removed a crystal from a clasp on her dress, she poured a bit of mana into it and the image of the fight was displayed in the room. Many people saw it, including an important minister. Jack was already able to move, he rushed at Vesta, but it was useless, he took a punch and passed out.The minister approached and directly asked Vesta what had happened. She told him, he grew angry, but his expressions were controlled. He listened without interrupting, then looked at the two men and then at Vesta and Lyn, he gave a slight bow and apologized to both of them. After that, he asked the receptionist to call more guards to arrest the two men.“I am Max Millian, currently the Mini

Vans was crushing some herbs, many people were paying close attention to his movements, as if he were doing something that could be considered some kind of secret. But he was just crushing herbs, like any other alchemist.The court alchemists were watching his movements even more closely. All five of them were writing down everything Vans did. He did not like it, but he kept tolerating all the stares. The only gaze he did not mind was Duke Carmine’s, the others bothered him, since they looked at him with a certain disdain and impatience.Vans placed the material into the cauldron, then repeated the process nine more times and filled all the cauldrons. After that, he turned on the heating plates, he had always preferred fire, but he did not complain about having only the plates. When the water was starting to boil, he used light magic and turned the plates off.“What did you just do?” one of the alchemists asked.“I used magic to create the potions.”“So your secret is using light magi
