The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick

Chapter 78: The Sleepy Elf Shut-in Who Just Wants to Sleep

Viktor sized up the sleepy elf before him, her image gradually matching the character in his memory.

Cocotte Yade was a nature elf.

Even among elves, there were different races. Nature elves, who were more in tune with nature, found it easier to control elemental powers and were more likely to become mages.

Her identity was also quite unusual.

She was an elven queen who only wanted to sleep and had no desire to inherit the throne. She had run away alone to the magical city that almost no one could find, hiding from her people's pursuit - a shut-in elf.

Quite interesting.

"Councilor Yade, I didn't expect you to be the one welcoming me."

The sleepy elf tiredly opened one eye, looking at Viktor with heavy dark circles under her eyes.

"Huh?"

"Interesting. When Haim mentioned it, I didn't pay much attention, but now it seems you really do know everyone in the council."

The fact that Viktor even knew her truly surprised Cocotte.

As the least needed face in the council, she usually just slept in the garden or took big naps while drooling in the garden.

Yet Viktor not only knew her name but could even say her surname.

There was too much that could be delved into with that surname.

The elf briefly looked over the human princess hiding behind Viktor, squinting her sleepy eyes.

"Lord Viktor, you're in quite a good mood, not forgetting to bring your lover even when coming to Endymion."

She was indeed a sharp-tongued shut-in elf.

Viktor straightened up slightly. Although he didn't explain, there was a hint of danger in his eyes.

"I can burn Haim's letter, and I can certainly burn down your back garden."

"..."

Cocotte quickly sat up straight, and although still drowsy, she managed to force out a smile for Aurelianne.

Even though the smile looked quite awkward.

"Welcome to the City of Mages, little sister..."

Viktor's cold voice rang out.

"Think about your own age before considering how to address others."

"...How annoying."

The shut-in elf pouted. Was it really necessary to be so unforgiving just because she had made one snarky comment?

He really was quite vindictive.

She put on a somewhat kinder expression compared to before, no longer forcing a smile, and simply nodded.

"Welcome to the City of Mages - Endymion, young lady."

"You can call me Cocotte. Today, I'll guide you through the chaotic magical rifts in the City of Mages."

There was a reason Endymion was called the City of Mages. The concentration of magic in the air here was extremely high.

The powerful magical energy was constantly compressed within a certain range, forming a degree of chaotic collapse.

Those rainbow bubbles floating in the air were the products of this magical chaos.

Therefore, new mages all needed a guide to walk on the correct path.

Aurelianne could feel her body constantly enveloped by endless magical power just by breathing the air.

Her body had to give up absorbing magic from the air to prevent itself from bursting.

She had been thinking about absorbing some magical energy in the City of Mages to expand her magical reserves.

That idea should be abandoned now.

However, Aurelianne still bowed to Cocotte to express her gratitude.

She didn't know what the City of Mages was like before.

Strictly speaking, Aurelianne wasn't a traditional mage. The emperor just knew about her talent and let her choose to become a mage.

Cocotte led the way in front, chattering incessantly.

She never actually walked herself, sitting on a floating cloud that served as her mode of transportation.

Aurelianne looked at the floating cloud with surprise.

"This thing can actually move?"

Cocotte just smiled. After all, it was reasonable for Aurelianne to have never seen this kind of transportation on her first visit here.

However, she didn't intend to let Aurelianne understand these various magical creatures. She just said flatly:

"The City of Mages is divided into seven levels. The magical concentration on each level is completely different."

"The higher the level, the higher the requirements for mages. If weak mages recklessly ascend to levels beyond their capability, they might lose an arm or a leg at best, or completely lose their connection to magic at worst."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Aurelianne.

Cocotte's intuition told her:

This girl before her,

Was not normal,

Very not normal.

This young girl only had first-tier strength.

Theoretically, even average second-tier mages would find it difficult to withstand the chaotic magic on the first level of the City of Mages.

But the girl in front of her could withstand this strong magical concentration and seemed completely at ease.

Cocotte's reactions were all seen by Viktor.

Her reactions were also within Viktor's expectations.

After all, no one would expect Aurelianne to possess a magical talent that could be described as heaven-defying.

At this moment, Aurelianne was like a new, curious animal in a zoo exhibition being observed by Cocotte.

Aurelianne didn't mind it though.

Endymion, called the City of Mages, didn't actually have much of a city.

It was merely a collection of extremely fragmented rock structures.

The three walked for a while, not encountering any other people on the way.

There were only some more peculiar magical creatures.

Although they had only walked for a short while, the surrounding scenery kept changing constantly, sometimes becoming a quiet, bottomless starry sky, sometimes turning into a dense forest.

Their shapes couldn't be fixed. With each step, the lines and colors seemed to change constantly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Aurelianne looked at the path ahead and fell into deep thought.

There was no path around anymore. She now seemed to be standing on a rock, with nowhere to step around her.

There wasn't even a person beside her.

When had she gotten separated from her teacher?

Impossible.

She had been following right beside them.

Having experienced the previous battle, Aurelianne had become a bit bolder. She tentatively stretched out her small foot towards the endless void.

Although it seemed to be nothingness in front of her, it felt like she was stepping on solid ground.

Looking down, the infinite starry sky under her feet was constantly rotating. The island behind her had disappeared, leaving only stars dotting the black curtain above.

It was as if she was wrapped in countless beautiful wishes. The scene before her was incredibly serene and mysterious.

Aurelianne felt a shock to her spirit, as if she had fallen into layers of hazy illusions. The scene before her instantly became dreamlike.

It was an indescribable, transcendent beauty. Aurelianne's spirit seemed to be frozen in place just by looking at it for a moment.

But her consciousness told her she couldn't linger here for too long, forcing her body to step out of those hazy, dreamy colors. The paradise-like wonder instantly vanished.

Suddenly, after a moment of dizziness.

"We're here."

The haziness in front of Aurelianne's eyes gradually dispersed, revealing the crackling snake-like lightning and the oppressive atmosphere of low-hanging clouds.

A single stone bridge hung in the air, terrifyingly high.

Cocotte began to introduce to the two of them:

"This is the Magic Ravine. Of course, in some human stories, it's called - the Rhea Ravine."

Hearing this, Aurelianne's body trembled slightly.

"The Rhea Ravine actually exists?"

She looked at the treacherous place before her in disbelief, feeling a bit dazed.

She had heard such stories when she was young.

That distant, legendary Rhea Ravine, those who passed through the trial would have the qualification to ascend to the seventh heaven.

But now it seemed that the trial had some answers at this moment.

This place was a road that every mage must experience when coming to Endymion.

This was not just a natural path, but also the first test of Endymion for those who came.

Endymion, this City of Mages, was not merely an island floating in the air.

It was more of a sky city with consciousness.

Facing different visitors, different levels of trials awaited them in this Rhea Ravine.

The more powerful one was, the more dangerous the encounter would be.

This also meant that all mages could enter Endymion, but different trials would allow this magical city to actively choose which level you could enter at most.

Viktor was very familiar with this place. In the game, he had been here before.

Although the Rhea Ravine was on this floating island of Endymion, it wasn't part of the main body of the City of Mages.

In the eyes of players, this was just a monster farming spot.

He looked ahead again. The possible dangers ahead were all too familiar to him.

Even the existence of that lord, Viktor still remembered.

In the ravine, chaotic magical power constantly gushed out, with lightning and hurricanes surrounding the only narrow passage in the center of the ravine.

No one knew if that stone bridge would collapse the next second due to years of erosion.

She followed closely behind Aurelianne and Viktor. If danger appeared, she could also act promptly.

Although the Magic Ravine generally wouldn't have any danger, this place was just a series of trial grounds.

The magic in the Magic Ravine was chaotic and violent. Ordinary mages stepping into it might have their magical source scattered by the strong turbulence, directly losing their connection to magic.

Even fourth-tier mages' magic would be severely limited.

But in the game, the Magic Ravine was a very valuable leveling spot.

The large number of magical beasts here were on average above level 35. Because they had lived in this magically chaotic area for years, they could instinctively grasp some elemental powers and even use them to capture prey.

Under the immersion of magic, the temperament of these magical beasts had also become more violent.

This ravine, in his memory, Viktor had walked through hundreds of times.

"Aurelianne."

Aurelianne was a bit puzzled.

"Teacher, what is it?"

"From now on, follow me closely, don't move around."

Cocotte glanced at Viktor and said lazily to Aurelianne:

"You'd better listen to him, otherwise..."

"Have you seen fireworks before? If you move around carelessly, you might... become fireworks in a moment."

Hearing this, Aurelianne couldn't help but shudder.

Cocotte lay on the cloud, staring at Viktor carefully, who knows what she was thinking.

"My lord, you only need to walk to the end of this ravine, which should take about two hours."

"If your qualifications are sufficient, then, passing through here, you'll be able to reach the legendary seventh level, the Sky Realm."
