Chapter 40 Warning in the Letter

After being subjected to Viktor's barrage of sarcasm, Vivian finally couldn't take it anymore and turned back to her room.

Just as she stepped out of the room, Gal, looking slightly embarrassed, walked in. It seemed he had actually been waiting outside for a while... Viktor, unconcerned by his embarrassment, casually asked:

"Something you need to say, Gar?"

Upon hearing Viktor's question, Garr immediately snapped out of his reverie, walked to the desk, and placed a letter in front of him:

"Your Highness, look."

Another letter arrived today.

"Just like the last letter that recorded Princess Vivian's presence in Morningstar City, there is still no other information."

"Um?"

Viktor frowned, somewhat surprised, and moved the letter in front of him. Instead of tearing it open immediately, he first cast a "magic shield" on himself before reaching out to tear open the envelope.

At the same time, he asked:

Did you ask the messenger?

Garr nodded:

"I inquired, but the other party was just a messenger and didn't know the source of the letter. Last time I spent a lot of money to find out, and all I got was that the letter came from the West District. This time, I couldn't find any clues at all."

"That's normal. The academy is right behind the post office in Morningstar City."

Viktor wasn't surprised. The last clue was purely accidental. It would be strange if Gar could find clues every time based on a letter like this.

But he was also genuinely curious about who had sent this letter. Last time it reminded him that Vivian was also in Morningstar City, so what did it say this time... another reminder?

The careful protective magic was of no use; it was just an ordinary letter.

The handwriting above is messy, but it's clear it's from the same person. The content recorded is:

"The wizard who is keeping an eye on the secrets of the Feltro family comes from 'Thousand Eyes City'. He is a newly promoted official wizard who has taken control of the entire Duchy of Feltro and has not given up on continuing to search for members of the Feltro family."

Vivian has been targeted, and the information has been relayed back. As a formal wizard of Thousand Eyes City, she generally wouldn't come to Morning Star City on her own initiative, but her subordinates might still come to harass her.

Furthermore, if this wizard discovers that Vivian has awakened her bloodline, he might also abandon his current affairs and come to Morningstar City... Vivian has a key, and that key is especially important; you must keep it safe!

I still have some things to do before I can meet with you. Please be careful and don't do anything risky!

That concludes the letter's content.

Viktor's gaze lingered on the words, his mind in turmoil.

As expected, the culprit who caused their family to disband was indeed a formal wizard, and he came from another wizarding city called Thousand Eyes City.

Unlike Morningstar City, which is completely controlled by Morningstar Academy, Thousand Eyes City is a more chaotic city with a larger population than Morningstar City, but it has more than twenty wizarding academies of all sizes.

It is conceivable that under such circumstances, the environment of Thousand Eyes City would inevitably be more chaotic and disorderly than that of Morning Star City, and the wizards who emerge from it would be more focused on combat power, which is quite different from the style of Morning Star City.

As for strength, they are completely incomparable to Morning Star Academy.

Just like the saying that wizards love to boast about, "Knowledge is the power of wizards," the knowledge that wizards at Morningstar Academy can access far exceeds that of the scattered wizarding forces in Thousand Eyes City, and their level of knowledge is naturally also superior.

As a result, wizards from Thousand Eyes City would subconsciously feel inferior to wizards from Morning Star City, especially since Morning Star City possessed the constant sorcery "Eye of the Star" that allowed them to observe the entire city at all times.

The wizards of Thousand Eyes City don't really like coming to Morning Star City.

But a formal wizard is a formal wizard.

No matter where you are, you will receive respect and a corresponding deterrent force.

Even if he's just a newly promoted official wizard, if he really wanted to deal with Victor, he wouldn't have much of a way to resist... Even without physical contact, an official wizard has nine ways to kill him from a distance!

Viktor lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"Who do you think could have delivered this letter?"

Gar hadn't expected Viktor to ask him such a question. After hesitating for a moment, he shook his head.

"Your Highness... I have no clue either."

"I'm just as clueless as you are."

Victor channeled his magic into the letter in his hand, instantly setting it ablaze, turning it into ashes in the blink of an eye.

He casually swept away the speck of dust, then looked up at the window, as if talking to Gar, or perhaps talking to himself:

"Thinking about it carefully, there are quite a few people in the Feltero family, but theoretically there should only be a few who have access to the family secrets... But as far as I know, those few people should all be dead."

"So who exactly is this messenger?"

Garr pondered for a moment:

"But since this person said they'd come back to see you later, they can't be an enemy, right?"

Viktor turned to look at him and suddenly laughed:

"Indeed."

"Since they're not enemies, we'll know who they are when we meet."

Viktor isn't the type to dwell on things to the point of obsession. Since he can't find a solution now, he might as well stop thinking about it.

He then asked Garr:

"Any progress on the rental issue?"

Upon hearing this, Garr immediately perked up and reported to the leader:

"Don't worry, I've already contacted the middleman for the rental."

"I've looked at several houses today, but I'm not satisfied with any of them. Tomorrow I'll go see more houses with the middleman, and if all goes well, I should be able to finalize something the day after tomorrow at the latest!"

"Well, if that doesn't work, we'll increase the budget to 15 magic stones. It's just a house; that's the limit." Victor nodded slightly.

He was quite at ease with Garr's work; there was basically only a lack of ability, not a lack of dedication.

However, his sudden decision to change his residence had little to do with Vivian and the Feltro family's messy affairs.

The main reason was that he and Gar initially rented this apartment simply because it was convenient and located in a wizarding environment. Although it was far from the academy, it helped them quickly integrate into the atmosphere of Dawnstar City when they first arrived.

Things are different now than before.

One reason is Vivian's arrival; renting three apartments would incur a considerable amount of rent.

Secondly, he had become a wizard, and the apartment was rather chaotic and cramped. He needed a larger space to accommodate some alchemical tools and the like.

Vivian, who has also become a wizard, needs these things as well.

Finally, as mentioned in the letter, this place has already been exposed once, which means it's no longer a secret. Moving it to a different location would at least have some effect.
