The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick Chapter 419: Whose Tomb Was Robbed?

In the dim light of the fireplace, Lia paced back and forth across the room, one hand thoughtfully supporting her chin.

Her eyes were distant, as if imrsed in mories of the past.

The fire crackled and popped, and in the quiet room, apart from Lia's narration, only the sound of burning wood breaking could be heard.

"Well... that's roughly the situation," Lia concluded.

Her words echoed in the room, as if trying to evoke so response.

Cocotte and Vinia exchanged aningful glances.

An expression of dawning comprehension appeared on their faces, as if they were silently communicating so shared understanding.

The revelation that Viktor and Miss Lia's mother were not the sa person had caught them by surprise.

This fact made the two elves blink in astonishnt, their mouths opening as if to speak.

But in the end, it was Vinia who first broke the silence.

"But, if you've never seen your own mother, nor have you ever seen Master Viktor's mother," Vinia's voice carried a hint of doubt, "how can you be so certain that your mothers are not the sa person?"

Cocotte nodded vigorously in agreent beside her.

Lia spread her hands, sighed, lowered her brows, and said helplessly: "Of course, the family told ."

She only rembered that from a young age, her father had been very strict.

But this strictness was divided into two distinctly different approaches.

Although her father was stern, his discipline toward Viktor seed casual, only because he had shown extraordinary talent from childhood.

Lia still rembered that differential treatnt.

Her father's strictness toward Viktor was rely due to his high expectations, hoping he would beco an outstanding mage.

Viktor was naturally gifted, and learning magic ca easily to him, so her father rarely intervened in his studies.

In contrast, her father's attitude toward Lia was completely different.

She rembered how strict her father had been with her when she was little.

"Because I stained my brother's magic book, he severely reprimanded ," Lia said, closing her eyes as if the criticism still echoed in her ears.

Don't enter Viktor's room without permission, don't disturb him, and don't bother your brother.

At that ti, not only did her father scold her, but Viktor also severely reprimanded her and punished her by making her stand in the cold snow.

But she didn't shed a single tear.

Now, looking back, Lia felt that she had been quite foolish back then.

At that ti, she had only one simple thought: 'If my brother can learn magic, why can't I?'

She had sneaked into Viktor's room just to peek at the mysterious magic book on his desk.

However, she accidentally knocked over a vase, and the book was soaked through.

What followed was a double rebuke.

"So I never studied magic again, nor did I consider becoming a mage," Lia shrugged, a relaxed smile flitting across her lips, as if those childhood mories had settled in her heart and no longer held any importance.

Cocotte sat nearby, listening to Lia's reminiscence, and suddenly suggested: "If you still want to learn magic, I could teach you."

She paused, then continued with so hesitation. "Well... although it might be a bit late to start now."

The best ti to learn magic is usually when a person is young. That's when it's easy to develop an interest in magic and maintain good mory retention.

Only after establishing a solid foundation in magical theory can one begin practical application.

At least, this was the teaching standard of the Royal Magic Academy.

And now, for Lia, who was already an adult and even a 24-year-old single woman, learning magic now would definitely be too late.

She didn't have the longevity of elves.

Lia tilted her head slightly, falling into brief contemplation, then a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Forget it, I lost interest long ago."

When she was young, her curiosity about magic was natural but not a true passion.

Although she couldn't beco a mage like Viktor, however—

Lia slowly raised her gloved right hand.

The light from the fireplace illuminated the room, shining on the glove adorned with colorful gems, making it dazzlingly brilliant.

The differently colored gems emitted vibrant hues, reflecting rainbow-like light throughout the room.

Cocotte and Vinia stared at those colorful beams of light, squinting their eyes to examine the glove on Lia's hand.

Cocotte could clearly sense the magical power stored within that glove.

"I received a better compensation," Lia said.

When the two elves had been staring in a daze, Lia slowly withdrew her hand.

She was quite pleased, smiling at the two elves and saying: "After that incident, my father also explained why he didn't want to study magic alongside Viktor."

Lia raised her head, staring at the flickering flas, as if seeing her father's figure from that ti.

Your brother, Viktor, has magical talent beyond ordinary people, and he is destined to beco a mage.

But Lia, you are different.

Neither I nor your mother has bestowed upon you any special talent.

Simply put, Lia was just an ordinary person.

At that ti, Lia didn't quite understand why.

Later, when her father told her that their mothers were not the sa person, Lia finally understood.

Of course, Lia didn't envy Viktor for being able to beco a mage while she couldn't.

Because Viktor was studying magic and couldn't manage many affairs within their jurisdiction, soone from the Kravina family had to step up in the future.

So, Lia volunteered.

"It's funny," she remarked with a laugh, "my initial motivation for making money was actually to allow Viktor to imrse himself more easily in the study of magic."

The two elves looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

At this mont, Lia's voice sounded again: "Oh my, I've been so caught up in chatting that I forgot the main point. You didn't co here today just to chat with , did you?"

Vinia ca to her senses and quickly said: "Of course not."

She had co to the Kravina house mainly to inquire if they had found any trace of Cocotte.

After a period of recovery, many new elves had been born in the Elven Forest.

Now, the elves urgently needed to gradually understand the outside world and break through the cage of mist.

So establishing diplomatic relations with the Empire beca particularly important.

The elves had prepared everything early, waiting only for Cocotte, as the queen, to step forward and establish friendship between the Empire and the new city-state of the Elven Forest.

But at this critical mont, Cocotte had disappeared, and had been missing for half a month.

As a result, when they saw Cocotte again, the Divine Tree had withered, but Cocotte had absorbed all the energy of the Divine Tree.

This shocked Vinia so much that she forgot her original purpose for coming.

Lia looked at Cocotte with a playful expression, and said to Vinia without much patience: "Then you should ask your elven queen what she did. She slept in my garden for a full half month, almost turning my garden into a forest."

Hearing Lia say this, Cocotte turned her head away sowhat guiltily, her face wearing a forced smile.

Vinia leaned back in shock, widened her eyes, and opened her mouth: "Are you... are you a pig? Even pigs don't sleep that much..."

So, Lia gently laughed beside them: "Winter is coming, it's ti to prepare for hibernation, understandable."

Cocotte's cheeks turned red from being teased by the two, and she could only weakly search for excuses, speaking in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz: "Well, I didn't want to sleep for so long, but..."

At this point, her already faint voice abruptly stopped.

She seed to have realized sothing.

Henie, and that lazy white dog.

She clearly rembered that the little dog, brought back by Henie, made a deal with her when she most wanted to sleep.

In exchange for sleep that would absolutely not be disturbed until she woke up, Cocotte gave up her cloud.

Of course, the content of the deal was that after Cocotte woke up, the other party would return the cloud to her.

This point, Cocotte rembered very clearly.

She seed to recall that little dog.

Those turbid, lazy eyes carried a seductive magic, as if they could see through her deepest desires.

Through deals... obtaining desires...

Suddenly, Cocotte sat up straight, her eyes widening.

Isn't this exactly what a 'demon' does!?

She still rembered that a while ago, a group of demon hunters had invaded the Kravina house.

At that ti, she was curious why the Kravina house was targeted by demon hunters.

Now, she seed to have so clues.

As she was lost in thought, Lia, who was waiting for Cocotte's explanation, couldn't help but ask: "So, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Uh..." Cocotte raised her face, looking at Lia, sowhat conflicted.

Lia probably didn't know about this matter.

Telling her was definitely inappropriate; she should wait for Viktor to return and explain it to him in detail.

But for now, she needed to co up with a reason to muddle through with Lia.

Her brain was racing, when suddenly, she saw a huge figure entering the room from outside.

Recognizing the tall figure, Cocotte realized it was the butler of the Kravina house.

At this mont, he was carrying a set of crimson armor, and in his other hand, he was holding a huge treasure chest, passing by the doorway.

The armor and treasure chest still had dust and soil on them, emitting an aged, damp sll.

Cocotte sniffed; this sll was that of long-buried earth, and ordinary damp soil didn't have such a pungent odor.

She stared blankly as the bear-man passed by, a question rising in her heart, and she hesitantly asked Lia:

"Did your butler... go grave robbing?" """
