Chapter 34 Special
However, Gal is still quite reliable when it comes to getting things done.
By the time Viktor returned home, Gar had already taken care of most of the matters.
"Your Highness, the bounty hunters hiding in the West District have all been captured."
"I interrogated them one by one, and I can basically confirm that these people are after Princess Vivian's bounty... just as Princess Vivian suspected."
Victor nodded slightly, glanced at the viper behind Garr, and continued to ask:
"Is that all?"
Garr paused for a moment, seemingly hesitant:
"That's about all I have about Her Highness Vivian... These are some details that Your Highness doesn't need to know."
"However... I learned some clues about other members of the family from them... Would Your Highness like to hear them?"
"Laws on other family members?"
Viktor's eyes flickered, but he then shook his head:
"Forget it, what's the use of knowing?"
The Feltrow family had essentially disappeared after the deaths of his parents in this lifetime.
Ultimately, he said that now that the memories of two lifetimes have merged into one, it is difficult for him to completely place himself in the position of the family heir.
After all, even his sister Vivian is now seen by him as more of a practical asset than a familial one.
If he were strong enough, he wouldn't mind rescuing these so-called relatives, but now his strength is barely enough to stand on his own, and he really doesn't have the spare power to help others.
The fate of those family members... it all depends on their luck!
"Yes... Your Highness."
Seeing that Viktor didn't want to talk about this topic, Garr stopped talking.
At this moment, the viper beside them spoke up:
"Sir, what should we do with these bounty hunters?"
"Should we kill them all?"
Victor nodded:
"There's no point in keeping them alive, so let's kill them..."
Upon hearing this, Viper was about to nod when Victor suddenly spoke again:
"etc......"
The viper looked at Victor with some confusion, only to see him stroking his chin in deep thought:
"Don't kill them yet... Do you have enough space here to lock them up?"
The viper thought for a moment:
"Sir, this cellar is big enough to hold people, enough to fit all these bounty hunters."
"Then I'll keep them here for now. Maybe I'll be able to use them in a few days."
Viktor waved his hand, indicating that he would make arrangements later.
Viper naturally had no objections; it was just locking up a few people, and it wasn't like there wasn't room. At most, it would just mean a few more mouths to feed, and they wouldn't even have to spend much on food and drink.
"I'll have them locked in the cellar in a bit. Just come find me anytime you need anything!"
"Um."
Viktor nodded slightly, seeing his obedient expression.
"Then Garr and I will be going now."
"If anything happens, send someone to contact Gar."
After saying this, Victor beckoned the knights together and turned to leave the Snake Venom Gang's territory.
......
It must be said that this was just a minor incident.
But it inevitably made Viktor a little nervous.
For more than a year, there had been almost no incidents in Morningstar City, but Vivian's arrival seemed to have broken this peace.
Although they are just a few insignificant bounty hunters for now, now that her information has been exposed, she doesn't know who she will encounter in the future.
Especially that wizard who caused the dissolution of the entire Feltrol family... Victor wasn't sure if the other party had gotten what he wanted, and if the other party came in person, Victor wasn't sure if he could escape unscathed.
Victor did not regret his decision to approach Vivian.
After all, the effect of the "Silver Key" that the other party gave him was too powerful, and it was a fundamental change for him. Once he knew about it, he could not give it up.
Therefore, in order to avoid being powerless when the enemy arrives, Viktor felt he needed to put more effort into improving his combat capabilities...
However, this cannot be done in one go.
Especially considering that Victor himself has a lot to do.
Fortunately, as time went by, Viktor gradually became familiar with the work of maintaining the production line, including becoming Manugs' assistant and helping him complete some of the body alchemy work.
The latter took a lot of effort, but the alchemical knowledge Viktor had learned beforehand, as well as the "cyborg doctor" entry he had acquired in advance, were of great help. In addition, Manugs might not even be in the laboratory building for a day a week. Viktor could not say that he was in complete control, but he was at least barely managing to keep up.
Before we knew it, another half month had passed.
Viktor received a message from Nina—after a long period of preparation, she had finally finished everything and was about to set off for the Astral Plane on an exploration mission.
If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to return to Morningstar City in one to three months.
Of course, if something unexpected happens, then they may never be able to come back.
Viktor, of course, hoped that Nina could return safely.
After all, regardless of what they really think, they are friends who get along fairly well on the surface. If Nina can successfully advance to a formal wizard without any conflict of interest, then Victor will have another protective umbrella.
So you know what, Viktor is probably the person who, besides Nina herself, most wants her to come back safely...
......
However, when Nina set off, she only sent him a letter, without asking him to deliver it in person.
So after receiving this news, Viktor only sighed slightly before continuing his busy work... A few days ago, after confirming that everything was on track and would not change for the time being, Viktor found a way to devour the 'Eyeball of the Cave Monster' and successfully permanently absorbed the 'Minimap' entry.
However, it's not so easy to devour other equipment.
Either the requirements for devouring are too high for him to meet for the time being, or he doesn't even have a clue how to fulfill the requirements.
Fortunately, with the help of the "Door to Inspiration" entry, there has been considerable progress in other areas:
