Throne of Magical Arcana

"The smell of Maskelyne?" Angeus didn't quite understand what Adol said, but when he mentioned the name Maskelyne, his tone became quite dignified.

Under the pale sunlight, Adol's delicate but lifeless skin was shrouded in a layer of faint black air, and two red lights under the hood jumped like flames: "The talisman on his body was made with Maskelyne's special technique. Yes. Hmph, he can sense me with the talisman, why can't I recognize the origin of his talisman?"

"So, Lord Ador, the last time you revealed the secret to Sosa, it wasn't for Felipe? Nor was it to stir up internal strife in the pale hand?" Angeus reached out to catch a piece of rotten muscle, and then It rubs into the face.

"That group of stupid humans, whose greed and stubbornness blinded their minds, are being played by us in the palm of our hands." Adol sneered.

Angeus's voice became vicious: "Maskillin knows too many of our secrets, and is a powerful prophet and master of astrology. His purpose of leaving items must not be pure. Since the person named Lucien Ivan The magician from Sri Lanka is going to come to Heidler to accept the award, so should we?"

He made a gesture of squeezing his throat.

"Idiot, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing it in Heidler City? Do you want to expose the secrets of the undead world? Do you want to show the undead world naked in front of the magic council? A great arcanist, a legendary Magician, we are still sure to deal with it, but in the face of seven great arcanists and eleven legendary magicians, what do we have to contend with? Don't forget, our goal is not just the magic council!" Adol said coldly The voice shouted.

"Should we just let a guy who might reveal our secrets live?" Angeus replied a little angrily. Although his status was not as good as that of Ador, he was also a high-level undead, and he could not be abused at will.

Adol turned his head, and the red light spot under the shadow of the hood jumped twice: "If he wanted to reveal it, he would have revealed it long ago. After mastering this kind of secret, revealing it is more dangerous than keeping it secret, because you know the secret of the undead world The strong man will definitely shut him up forever. Since there has been no movement in this regard from the Magic Council, it shows that Lucien Evans is a very cautious and smart person."

"Even if he wants to leak it, I'm afraid he has to wait until he becomes a legendary magician and has enough self-protection power. We still have plenty of time. It is impossible for him not to go out to explore the world, and it is impossible for him to go out like the last time. The sorcerer is watching over."

Seeing what Angius wanted to say, Adol warned: "Our most important thing right now is to extract 'power' and prepare for the return of the 'Lord', Angius, don't act on your own, fight Mess up the plan, or you'll be thrown into the Hearth of Souls."

"Yes, Lord Adol." Angeus put on his hood and answered with his head bowed.

…………

The Allinge branch of the will of the elements, the hall on the first floor of the magic tower.

After Lucien bowed, he walked off the podium amidst applause, and Morris's voice after soothing his heartache came from behind:

"Next, we invite Mr. Larry Clark to come up."

Larry, who was wearing an elemental robe, walked out of the crowd a little nervously, and came towards Lucien.

"Congratulations, Mr. Larry." Lucien greeted him with a smile when he walked up to him.

Larry stroked his tan beard helplessly: "Thank you, Evans, the weather is really nice today."

This guy is incoherent with excitement? Lucien turned his body amusedly, and watched Larry walk up to the podium.

"Congratulations, the pride of our elemental will, the unprecedented winner of the Holm Crown Award three times." Florence approached with a wine glass, full of laughter.

Lucien turned his hands up, revealing several rings: "Thank you, Ms. Florence, for your elaborate design."

Florence listened to Morris explaining the important role of Larry's atomic valence and ionization theory in potion making and alchemy, while restraining her smile, she shook her glass and said, "We've found out, what happened to Barack those few days? The reason for taking the initiative to apply for rotation is to exchange for a period of rest, and other high-level magicians naturally have no objection."

"In other words, he arranged it all by himself?" Lucien frowned slightly.

After Lucien returned to Allinge, a thorough investigation on Barack began, because Lucien always felt that things were too coincidental. Why did Barack grasp the time when he discovered the vase curse? Was there someone else? Cooperating with him.

But judging from the survey results of the affairs committee just heard, Barack just chose the time when he had the greatest chance of discovering the curse of the vase—if he could not discover it in the first few days, there would be a 90% chance of not discovering it. It will be a long process to start to suspect after symptoms appear. Barack has enough time to prepare. As for the accidental discovery in the middle, it is not in Barack's consideration. There is no certainty of any assassination.

Florence nodded lightly, her long blond hair swaying: "As far as we know so far, no other high-level cooperation has been found yet, but significant progress has been made in other areas. We found Luo in Barak's magic tower. Ben, from his 'memory' and other materials left by Barack, we have captured more than a dozen middle- and low-level magicians. The peace of mind has gradually become fanatics, and some are simply seeking money, materials, etc., for their own better development."

"As long as there is death, pain, despair and difficulty, things like religion cannot be banned, but we cannot compromise with the church. All religions must be under our control." Lucien said with emotion .

Florence was stunned for a moment, then giggled coquettishly, leaning forward and backward, her body trembling like a flower branch: "Lucien, no, Commissioner Evans, you are becoming more and more like a commissioner, and your tone is more and more Exactly the same as Speaker Douglas and Your Excellency Fernando!"

Lucien smiled slightly awkwardly, and changed the subject in a joking way: "Really? Can I say that I'm still considering whether to suggest the establishment of a 'Working Committee Concerning the Growth of Magicians and Mental Health'?"

"'Concerning the Growth of Magicians and Mental Health Work Committee', haha, this is the right of the committee member!" Florence, who was amused by Lucien's weird name, stopped laughing for a long time, and Larry had already started short speech.

Taking a sip of wine to moisten her dry throat from laughter, Florence used her communication technique to say, "You have made some progress in the investigation of the source of the special material that you requested privately. Although it is the material provided by the church to Barack, But this kind of material is very special, we have already grasped certain clues, and are currently sending people to the desert in the south of the Gusta Empire for secret investigations."

"This is really good news." Lucien smiled sincerely. Whether it is arcane research, casting curse magic and extreme cold rays, or creating other terrifying 'magic' in the future, these are indispensable materials. Find the mineral origin.

Florence's emerald green eyes stared at Lucien suspiciously, and she used the "message technique" to ask, "Although the special material is a new element, is it so important? Have you discovered anything else?"

The front part of Lucien's thesis has not been sealed, that is, the part where the new element "uranium" was discovered and a lot of data was measured, and thirty arcane points were obtained. Hearing Florence's question at this time, he could only laugh and not language.

Florence has a strong curiosity, but she can restrain herself better. Seeing that Lucien refuses to speak, she can only use her imagination and say: "Oh, my poor teacher!"

The two ended their conversation, turned their heads to look at the stage, and listened to Larry's speech.

Larry's initial nervousness gradually subsided, and his voice gradually flowed:

"As Evans mentioned just now, there are inevitable laws hidden behind any accident, so I am thinking, why do substances dissolve and ionize into ions with different charges, why elements have valence states, why valence states There will be periodic changes, does this have anything to do with the internal structure of the atom? Does it have anything to do with the newly discovered electrons by Evans?"

"In the world of arcane arts, if there is an effect, there must be a reason. Any phenomenon is strictly determined by laws, so we can't be satisfied with the results and superficial phenomena, but we need to conduct deeper exploration."

Florence smiled and looked sideways at Lucien, jokingly said: "More and more people are being led by Speaker Douglas, and the person who resembles him the most is you, Lucien."

"It's my honor." Lucien responded with a smile.

…………

A barren and dead wilderness filled with tombstones.

Lucien, Avris, and a skull-headed lich in a dark brown magic robe appeared at the edge of the wilderness at the same time.

"This is the 'Land of Rest'?" Lucien looked around curiously at the demiplane of "Master of the Dead".

Pale flames danced in the skull lich's eyes: "Yes, this is the 'resting place' created by Your Excellency the Lord of Souls, Evans, let's move on."

"Yes, Your Excellency Moros." Lucien grabbed Afris who wanted to "rob the grave" in the wilderness, and followed the Lich to the exit teleportation array.

The "Pale Hand" hated having to present the award to Lucien, so naturally they would not accommodate him like the will of the elements, and put the award ceremony in Allinge, but as the master, they couldn't let Lucien have an accident, otherwise they would offend the storm Not to mention the master, the entire organization would suffer humiliation, so they let the vice president, the eighth-level arcanist, and the nine-ring necromancer Moros undertake the task of welcoming and protecting Lucien.

Time and space changed, dizziness, and a frozen familiar light gray appeared in front of Lucien.

"Evans, take a rest in the room. I will take you to the banquet hall in two hours. By the way, many of our pale hands' researches are disgusting and very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be infected with the curse. Many necromancers don't like you too much, so you'd better not move around, otherwise, if there is an accident, everyone will be unhappy."

Moros led Lucien to the guest room, and lightly reminded him that the reason was very good, but Lucien heard the real meaning of his words, "The Pale Hand" has many secrets, if you wander around and spy on it, don't Blame us for being rude.

After seeing off Moros, Lucien stood by the window, looking at the sky filled with light gray and the quiet street below.

This is different from other cities. Although there are many "humanoid creatures" walking on the street, they rarely talk. The "skinless man" and "corpse dog" that shone with red light are low-intelligence undead newly "developed" by the pale hand.

Turning his eyes, Lucien saw the gap in the Necromancer world surrounded by the magic tower, and thought in his heart: "Has the pale hand found the Necromancer world?"

While his thoughts were racing, Lucien felt a burning sensation on his neck.

"Mr. Rhine, do you need me?" Lucien thought in a little surprise.

When near the gap in the Necromancer World, the power of the Rhine projection will become much stronger.

"Alfres, I'll take a rest and play slowly by yourself." Lucien ordered, lay down on the bed, and then hypnotized himself, half asleep and half awake into a dream.

Seeing that Lucien was asleep, Afris rushed over, squatted beside the bed, staring at the three Holm crown rings intently, wiping his saliva with his paws.

Suddenly, Avris sniffled suspiciously, looked around with translucent amber eyes, but found nothing, and soon, his attention was attracted by the beautiful shiny ring again.

In the dream, Rhine appeared and said directly, "Lucien, the situation in the Necromancer Realm has changed a lot, and it won't be long before there will be a change."
