Olivia had officially become Vilgefortz's one and only disciple. From the "Character Information Bar" in the game system, she saw the past of "Lord Vilgefortz." He was a master of both magic and martial arts.
At least one of Vilgefortz's parents was a sorcerer. This talented sorcerer was abandoned by his parents at a young age. The Circle of Druids of Covell found the young Vilgefortz in the slums. They took him away and educated him. Vilgefortz then wandered with the group of Druids for a long time.
By chance, Vilgefortz's talents were discovered by other sorcerers. They generously offered him a chance to join the Sorcerer's Brotherhood. However, Vilgefortz was rudely rejected. Later, he left the group of Druids and wandered the world. He became a soldier and a spy.
In the end, he escaped to the End of the World, where he fell in love with a sorceress. He had a brief relationship with her, but he left her after that.
During the Battle of Sutton Mountain, he commanded 21 sorcerers from the Northern Kingdoms to resist the invasion of the Nilfgaardian Empire. In the end, Vilgefortz took the lead in bringing about a truce between the Northern and Southern Kingdoms.
Since then, Vilgefortz of Roggevin had risen to fame. He was regarded as a peacemaker with a compassionate heart. No matter where he went, he was respected.
However, all of this was just a superficial image that he had created for himself …
A real villain would always be more righteous than the righteous. They knew very well the power of "justice." Those who always flaunted themselves as evil were fools.
Olivia also saw the contents of the deal between Vilgefortz and her cheapskate dad Emhyr. Vilgefortz had been in cahoots with Emhyr Emreth many years ago. At that time, Emhyr had been cursed by his father's political enemy and turned into a monster.
Under Vilgefortz's guidance, Donny saved the King of Cintra on a rainy night, using the Law of Surprise as a reward. After that, Donny won the favor of the Princess of Cintra. He became her son-in-law, and gave birth to Ciri. Another year, she gave birth to Olivia …
From a bystander's perspective, Olivia finally understood. Her cheapskate dad Emhyr was able to marry her mother, Princess Pavetta of Cintra, not because of his charm, but because of the "Law of Surprise." No wonder she had never felt any love between her parents.
Perhaps his silly mother, Pavetta, still loved Emhyr. But for Emhyr, who always prioritized the restoration of his kingdom, love was not as important as returning to Nilfgaardian as Emperor.
Why are you still called Emhyr? Just call yourself Murong Fu! Ermion, who was possessed by Lady Zhao, couldn't help but complain.
However, Olivia's feelings towards everyone was cold. Due to the existence of the game system, she always felt as if she was playing a virtual reality game. She had not played for long. How could she develop feelings for the NPCs in the game so quickly?
After becoming Vilgefortz's student, Olivia discovered that the number of "side quests" she had to complete had skyrocketed. Vilgefortz always wanted to see where Olivia's limits were, so he would always give her a hard time.
However, some of these problems were nothing to Olivia. They were like high school level math problems in the real world. Simple geometry. Therefore, she completed all kinds of side quests and accumulated skill points. It was a joy.
According to Vilgefortz, the construction of magic required understanding these things. For many sorcerers with the power of blood, how much they could unleash their power depended on their level of knowledge …
When Olivia easily passed all of Vilgefortz's tests, this teacher, who had always looked down on her, began to feel sorry for her. If only Olivia's blood was stronger, or even a natural source sorcerer, maybe … No, this was better. She would not be a threat to his plan.
Vilgefortz realized that he had made a fool of himself. If he taught a disciple who was stronger than him, wouldn't that just add more variables to his plan?
Therefore, while teaching Olivia, he spared no effort to influence her view of the world. He wanted her to hate her own sister, Cirilla.
At this moment, Olivia was in Vilgefortz's alchemy laboratory. As a sorcerer, exploring the truth of magic through experimentation was the most basic of operations.
"Weiya, don't be fooled by your reputation as a genius that is gradually spreading throughout Cintra. Unfortunately, you will never be able to match up to Ciri. She is destined to be the Child of Destiny. Actually, you can also feel how biased your maternal grandmother, Calanthe, is. The only one who can inherit Cintra is Ciri. As for you, your fate might be to be sent away by a marriage alliance, and you might even be married off to someone who doesn't have the first right of inheritance. And even if Hiri marries, she will be marrying the noblest prince. "
Olivia was not affected by Vilgefortz's provocation. However, she used her "acting skills" to put on the perfect expression of jealousy and resentment. It was a classic side character's expression. Whenever a side character showed such an expression, her future was sure to be tragic.
"Teacher, please teach me." Ermion asked obediently.
Vilgefortz was once again enjoying the joy of controlling someone else's life. A satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face. He tricked Olivia just like how he tricked Emhyr. "As long as Cirilla is gone, everything that belongs to her will belong to you."
In Vilgefortz's eyes, Olivia was just a chess piece. Who knows, she might come in handy one day.
"Then I'll have to stay close to sister Hiri. That way, if something happens to her one day, she won't suspect me." Olivia seemed to have picked up Vilgefortz's cunning ways to perfection.
He had hoped that Olivia and Ciri would fall out with each other. It would be best if they did not interact with each other for the rest of their lives. This disciple of his was truly evil. He knew that she did not possess any powerful combat abilities. She was just exceptionally intelligent. However, if she and Ciri were to work together, the threat would be infinitely greater …
Olivia's lessons for the day were over. Cirilla held her sister's hand and led her away from this place. She then chattered to her sister about what sword skills she had learned today. Cirilla listened quietly and gently wiped away her ugly duckling sister's sweat. How could anyone tell that she had just been provoked by Vilgefortz?
Vilgefortz watched as the two sisters supported each other. His expression was conflicted. He was good at reading people's minds, but he could not tell if his students were affected by his words. However, when he thought of Olivia's jealous expression, he gradually relaxed … That must be her true feelings. He did not believe that Olivia could be so good at disguising herself at such a young age.
He felt that Olivia's admiration for him came from the bottom of her heart. He enjoyed the longing look on this young girl's face. Every day, she would say things like, "Teacher is so handsome." She was so cute.
As long as this little cutie did not interfere with his plans, he would be happy to raise her. Wasn't it fun to raise her?
