The son of the dragon who walks

Chapter 18 The Demon Palace Mission (make up for yesterday)

"Named task? Me?" Ciel pointed at himself and said in disbelief.

Ciel really couldn't figure out why the Magic Emperor appointed him to carry out the mission. Although Ciel originally planned to participate in this mission, he always felt uneasy if he didn't understand the reason.

As for the intersection with the Magic Emperor, it must have been in the black market a few days ago! But Ciel didn't have the sense to reveal his identity?

And later when the thief snatched away his package, Ciel just stretched out his legs to stun the thief. In the end, Huha and Asta caught the thief.

Ciel didn't even use magic during the whole process, so the Magic Emperor, a magic fanatic, shouldn't have noticed!

But for this mission, the Magic Emperor appointed two people to participate, one was Asta and the other was Ciel.

Unlike Asta, who was excited about being noticed by the Magic Emperor, Ciel felt unsure.

But after setting off, Ciel finally figured it out. After all, he had underestimated the current Magic Emperor, who was truly the strongest person in the country.

Magic Emperor Julius is not only powerful, he is also particularly good at discovering and cultivating talents. Both Yami, the leader of the Black Bull, and Fankins, the leader of the Golden Dawn, were promoted and reused by him.

Yami once said that what Julius saw was different from ordinary people.

Ciel himself also knows that he is special. Whether it is the dragon-slaying magic taught by Ignilu to control the power of a dragon in a human body, or the world magic that represents the protection of the world, it is definitely a power that has never been seen before.

It's not surprising that he noticed me.

For the younger ones with potential, the Magic Emperor usually gives them dangerous and important tasks. And the newcomers will grow up quickly because of this.

And this mission definitely meets the requirements, it is both dangerous and important, and that is to explore the Demon Palace.

The so-called magic palace is a place where ancient relics are buried, similar to ancient tombs. These relics may be lost ancient magic methods, or they may be some powerful magic tools.

Perhaps because this world pays more attention to the development of magic books, the research on magic theory and the development of magic tools are generally in a state of stagnation or even regression.

Maybe the situation in the Diamond Kingdom next door is better, after all, it is now controlled by magicians.

Therefore, modern magic tools are far less diverse than ancient magic tools, and their power is not at the same level. Sometimes ancient magic tools can even change the level of civilization.

A magic palace that has not been discovered before, the magic tools in it are a huge wealth. They are very important both as research materials and weapon reserves.

However, in order to protect these magic tools or powerful magic, the ancients usually set up a large number of magic traps in the magic palace. Therefore, the magic knights usually explore it.

The most important thing is that this time the Magic Palace is coincidentally located at the junction of the Clover Kingdom and the Diamond Kingdom. Therefore, the danger not only comes from the magic traps inside the Magic Palace, but also the possibility of encountering the wizards of the Diamond Kingdom.

The Diamond Kingdom is not a friendly neighbor, because most of the country is an ore area, so the domestic resources are quite limited.

Of course, the people's lives are not rich, so the Diamond Kingdom is rife with violence. The Clover Kingdom, which is rich in resources, has naturally become the target of their invasion.

There are frequent frictions between the two countries, and one of the most important tasks of the Magic Knights is to fight against the Diamond Kingdom's army.

The Diamond Kingdom, the Demon Palace, will definitely not give up this time, and will definitely send people to explore. And it is everyone's task to defeat those guys.

Of course, such a mission would not only be carried out by newcomers, so in addition to Ciel, Asta and Noelle, Yami also asked Lark to go with him as the team leader.

Lark's magic power is also one of the best among the Black Bulls, and his powerful thunder magic allows him to adapt to various environments.

Not only that, Lark's magic perception is very good, even the strongest in the entire Black Bull. His ability to detect enemies and detect magic traps is the strongest. He is also the most suitable for the task of exploring the magic palace.

If it weren't for his personality problems, Lark would definitely become a talent that every magic knight group wants.

It is this character issue that is the most troublesome! Lark, who laughs maniacally, this name can be equated with the devil in the ears of familiar people.

Asta and Noelle finally understood how deceptive this senior was.

Through Finral's magic, the three of them arrived directly at the border and quickly found the target Demon Palace.

At first, Luck was very reliable and accurately found the real entrance in the dark corridor.

After entering the Demon Palace, everyone's eyes were opened. There were magnificent buildings like altars everywhere. I don't know how many years later, the internal water circulation system was still operating.

There is absolutely no need for lighting in the Demon Palace. There are a large number of light spots floating in the air, illuminating the Demon Palace brightly.

Those light spots are nothing but manna that is condensed into what is visible to the naked eye. Like the magic power of the human body, the energy particles dispersed in nature are called manna.

The concentration of mana in the Demon Palace is too high, which causes this phenomenon. And because the concentration of mana is too high, the space is even distorted.

The space inside the Demon Palace is much larger than what it looks like from the outside, it's almost like a small city.

Ciel couldn't help but admire the powerful mana in the outside world. For magicians, a sufficient environment with mana can promote the growth of their own magic power, but too high a concentration of mana will cause a huge burden on the body.

The Mana in the Demon Palace is already at this level, and I really don’t know what the powerful demon zone called the restricted area is like.

While feeling the powerful mana around him, Ciel simultaneously felt the magic power fluctuations throughout the entire Demon Palace.

How to put it, it's like countless whirlpools of different sizes scattered on the surface of a calm lake.

If Ciel guessed correctly, those were magic traps. And Lark next to him must have felt it.

Asta hammered the ground with his hand, lamenting why he couldn't sense the mana. Unexpectedly, there was a magic trap that Ciel sensed under his hand.

The huge earth wall rose, and Asta hurriedly jumped back to hide.

Turning over the Five-leaf Clover Magic Book, Asta took out the Demon-Severing Sword and directly cut the earth wall in two.

After being triggered, Ciel finally saw clearly the operating rules of some magic traps.

The so-called magic traps are just magic that is set in advance to be activated, and is released directly after being touched by the outside world.

The magic trap itself is nothing special, but the sealing method is a bit interesting. Xia Erdu decided to stay and study it carefully.

While Ciel was studying a magic trap, Lark pushed Asta onto the magic trap.

The reason why Lark did this was just to see more of the ability of Asta's Demon-Breaking Sword, so it can only be said that he went too far.

Not only that, Lark also actively triggered the magic traps around him, even the one in front of Ciel.

With Lark's joyful laughter on one side and the magic constantly being triggered on the other, the three of them felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Following this person... you will definitely die!" Even Ciel couldn't help but think so.
