Throne of Magical Arcana

——Corrected a problem in the previous chapter. I forgot that Sha (e) He (luo) Lan (si) girl’s father’s and husband’s surnames both had to be changed at the end of the word, so it should be Kaliliana Luo Tennikova.

…………

The scene seemed to stand still for a few seconds, and even the cold wind that blew past seemed to freeze in the air.

Karilena and the attendants not far away stared blankly at the winter bear that rushed forward aggressively, and then fell to the ground at an unstoppable speed after a flash of sword light, stirring up a long-lasting snow fog .

Was a full-grown winter bear with cavalier strength simply enough to be dramatically killed?

From the forehead, nose, mouth to the body of the winter bear, there was a deep line of blood, but not a drop of blood flowed out, and all of them were frozen into a layer of ice that shone with faint blue light.

Then a light gray mysterious halo erupted from its body. When the light subsided, the winter bear disappeared, revealing a man in a black cloak, his face and cloak were split in two by the sword.

However, his vitality was very tenacious, and he was still writhing and moaning on the ground. He was not killed by a single sword, but if he was not treated in time, it is entirely conceivable that he would end up in a few minutes.

When encountering enemy attacks, Lucien has always been ruthless and accurate, and will never hold back. If it was a real winter bear, it would have died long ago.

"Is it a druid? Or an ancient inheritance magician of the transformation department..."

Cutting down a winter bear revealed a person, no matter how good Lucien was at keeping calm, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and puzzled. After recalling the fluctuating feeling when the light gray light appeared just now, he was initially confirmed as a magician.

But before he understood this guy's purpose and plan, Lucien would not take the risk of saving him in full view just because he was also a magician.

After staring at the man in black lying on the ground for a few seconds, Karilena uttered a sharp cry as if she had just woken up from a nightmare: "There is an assassin!"

The puffs of snow on the tall coniferous trees were shaken off by her loud screams, and the young nobles who were scattered around hunting precious animals hurried back.

At the same time, Karilena's face turned pale, her body went limp as if she had been greatly frightened, and she was about to fall on the dragon-scaled horse, and the direction happened to be Lucien beside her.

Lucien's expression remained unchanged, his right hand "Frost" was still in its sheath but he was holding it tightly, as if he could pull it out again at any time, while his left hand politely supported Kariliana's shoulder, letting her sit firmly on the horse, and then "concerned" Asked: "Barononess, are you all right?"

"It's okay, I didn't expect an assassin to kill me. Mr. Peter, thank you very much. Without you, I might have died..." Karilena looked extremely weak, like a pitiful little white flower.

Lucien's nose twitched twice, not too used to this kind of sweetness, subconsciously wanted to cast "air filter bubble".

The suddenness of the incident, and the fact that he had doubts about Baroness Karilena because of Sergey, Lucien didn't have the feeling that a beautiful woman was in his arms at all, so he pushed Karilena away with force with his left hand: "Barononess, As long as you are fine, there may be other assassins, the danger has not been lifted, so don't interfere with my vigilance."

Karilena was about to press her towering breasts onto Lucien's arm, but as soon as she exerted force, it fell through the air, and then Lucien's words kept reappearing in her mind like an echo: "Don't disturb me Be alert, don't disturb me, don't disturb me..."

"Okay, Mr. Peter. You are really a brave and cautious knight." Karilena seemed to have forgotten a little bit of fear and fright after her charm was ignored, and she replied with gritted teeth.

At this time, Karilena's maid urged her horse to catch up to support Karilena, while the attendants surrounded her to guard against other possible assassins.

Carliliana, who had been the lord for several years, slowly regained her composure, and ordered with a little palpitation and fear: "Tie up the assassin, don't let him die, and hand it over to Pastor Nicholas of the manor church to use divine magic." We must find out his behind-the-scenes instructions! He still looks like a hateful magician!"

"Obey, my lord baroness." Several attendants rode up to the man in black, some took out the standard anti-magic ropes, some took out the healing potion, and quickly tied him up with a division of labor.

Balshak waited for the young nobleman to come back and saw this scene, and asked hurriedly and concernedly: "Kariliana, how are you? Are you not injured?"

Her pale face brought out a different and pitiful feeling, which made these young nobles wish they could hold her in their arms and take good care of her, sympathizing with them in every possible way.

Karenina forced a smile and said, "I'm fine. The assassin has already been subdued by Mr. Peter. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an official knight, and easily defeated the winter bear that the assassin turned into."

Having said that, her eyes flickered, and she secretly looked at Lucien, with a faint blush on her face.

When Balshak saw Kariliana's appearance, jealousy ignited in his heart, and he glared at Lucien with hatred. He held the leather glove of his right hand in his left hand, as if he was about to take it off and throw it in the snow to demand a duel, but He immediately recalled, and said in astonishment: "Peter, is he an official knight?"

Although the probability of inspiring blood is higher than that of other countries, knights are still a rank that many young nobles can't reach. The goal that the 24-year-old Balshak set for himself is to become a knight before the age of 30. And if you can get Karilena and her wealth, even if you can't succeed at that time, you can buy secret medicine from smuggling channels to stimulate.

Inside the Magic Council, the potion that stimulates the blood plus the blood purifier is worth about 500 gold thalers, but in the Shahran Empire and many continental countries, those who cannot stimulate the blood by themselves do not have it like the great nobles. Small and medium-sized nobles who have family secret potions are often willing to spend thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins to obtain them. Except for the nobles, no one can understand the nobles' desire for titles and blood.

This is a profitable commodity. In view of the mentality that the enemy's enemy can help, the Magic Council simply smuggled it to the Shahran Empire on its own, while strictly controlling the quantity. Of course, many reclusive magicians of the ancient inheritance in the Eastern exile also rely on refining similar potions and magic items to secretly share cakes to maintain their magic research and promotion.

Karilena glanced at Lucien, then quickly looked away, as if she hadn't fully recovered from the shock just now: "Yes, Mr. Peter is a real knight, whether it's strength, or his character and bravery."

All the young nobles looked at Lucien with extremely complicated eyes, with doubts, disappointment, hatred, and frustration.

Lucien held the vigilant long sword and said with a smile: "I have been adventuring in the northern Flame Fortress for many years. I have experienced many life-and-death dangers, and this has inspired the power of my blood. It is difficult for a young eagle to learn to fly without being pushed out of its nest! "

Karilena coughed lightly, and weakly interrupted the faint confrontation between the two sides: "Dear distinguished guests, because of the assassin's disturbance, our winter hunting party had to end early, but the scheduled welcome party for Mr. It is scheduled to take place at my estate, which is heavily guarded and under the protection of the priest."

The assassin was genuine, Karilena's manor was quite a distance from the Ural city, and it was getting dark, so Balshak and the others, who were worried about accidents on the road, agreed to attend the dance.

"Kariliana and Peter bastards can't be left alone!" they growled inwardly.

…………

Shahran's music, which is different from Alto and also different from Tria's music style, is beautiful but unrestrained and bold, full of unique taste.

In the hall covered with a bright red carpet, the young nobles gathered together and chatted with each other holding wine glasses. On the long table in the corner were glasses of amber "Golden Lega" spirits, as well as butter, white bread, muffins, and butter. Grilled fish, black caviar, lamb kebabs, fried chicken, steak, red vegetable sweet and sour soup, oxtail soup and other foods and various beautifully shaped cream desserts.

Karilena, as the host, took Lucien back and forth in the ballroom, introducing him to every guest.

She has changed into a black evening dress, fully revealing her graceful figure. There is no extra jewelry on her body, just wearing a string of pearl necklaces with soft luster, which sets off the swan-like white and slender neck and towering chest.

"This is Mr. Ivanovsky. He is a well-known businessman in the empire. He can be seen from the Storm Strait to the borders of the Northwest Province, from the Polar Yeti Tribe to the Marinov Defense Line." Liliana pointed to a gentle middle-aged man with gold-rimmed eyes. He had a strong figure, which contradicted his own temperament, like a winter bear reading a book quietly.

Ivanovsky took Karilena's right hand and kissed gently on the back of her hand: "Mrs. Karilena, no amount of wealth can have a beauty like you, nor can I exchange for a precious title. I Just an ordinary businessman running around for some noble people."

After saluting, he extended his right hand and shook Lucien: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Peter. I've heard of your name in the Northwest Province. I can't imagine that you have inspired the power of your bloodline after you disappeared for a few years. When you return to the family, I believe you will get the title of Lord soon. It's a pity that old Sir Joseph can't see this scene."

"My father likes to drink heavily and is excited, so..." Lucien said indifferently. According to Valentin's description, the relationship between Peter and Joseph was very bad.

After chatting casually with Lucien about the Vladimir family, Ivanovsky said with a smile, "If there is any business in the future, please take care of me, Mr. Peter. I won't delay you and Mrs. Karilena." Let's do the opening dance."

Karilena's voice became a little louder: "Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome Mr. Peter Joseph Vladimir from the Northwest Province."

The applause was not too warm, but Kariliana didn't care. She looked at Lucien charmingly: "Mr. Peter, as the host, I invite you to the first dance of the ball."

Lucien bowed slightly, stretched out his right hand, and formally called: "Ms. Lautnikova, this is my honor."

Karilena smiled and handed her soft and delicate hands to Lucien. As the music changed, the two danced lightly, like an "exotic" Ilya circle dance.

Leaning on Lucien's body, he felt the amazing elasticity. Karilena's eyes became blurred, and she seemed to be able to attract the soul of every man and said: "Peter, do you know that when the winter bear pounced on me? At that time, how desperate and terrified I was. But at this time, you stood up, stood in front of me, and saved me from the abyss of death. Looking at your straight back, I feel that there has never been I live a safe and secure life, like you can block all the wind and rain for me, so that I can enjoy happiness without worry."

"Thank you Madam Karelina for your praise. But if I don't make a move, that winter bear will attack me." Lucien replied politely.

Karilena's head was close, her red lips exhaled fragrance, and her breathing was hot and fast: "No matter what the reason is, when you defeated the winter bear and saved me, Peter, you became a hero in my heart, so mighty So reliable. As soon as I saw you, my heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. This is a feeling I have never had before. Even when I married my husband, I was only touched by his fatherly care."

Lucien thought for a while, and said with a serious expression: "Mrs. Karilena, you are a rare good person..."
