Throne of Magical Arcana

At the moment when the "Devil of Pain" disappeared, the gloomy hall, which was still heavy and oppressive under the light of the "Crown of Glory", returned to softness and brightness as if it had been washed by clear water.

"Win!" Sophia looked at the mysterious magician in front of her, clenched her fists and waved it happily, as if she no longer had to worry about the twisted and terrifying "painful" devil.

At the same time, her brain was spinning rapidly, and she began to think about what conditions could impress the other party.

But Lucien didn't relax at all, holding "Pale Justice" in both hands, watching the noble children who were still alive in the hall with vigilance, his mental power was concentrated on the "Ice and Snow Medal", and the "Silent Ice Coffin" was about to explode.

Whether it's "hatred" or "greed", Lucien was deeply impressed by their weirdness and difficulty to kill, and the "painful" devil should be no exception. A painful smile appeared on the face of any noble boy.

According to common sense, the best way is to kill all living things other than yourself, so that the "pain" will not occupy the new body and will gradually disappear, but these are the seven most mysterious and weirdest devils, And it is related to negative emotions. If I am immersed in the desire to kill for the sake of safety for a while, then the "pain" or "indulgence" devil may be occupied by me! In this way, the trouble becomes very large, and it is infinitely more difficult than dealing with external "projections"!

His eyes swept over every surviving nobleman, and stayed on them for a moment. The coldness in his eyes made them shiver involuntarily, and they wanted to back up in panic, but they dared not move half a step.

After looking around the small half of the hall, his eyes fell on Sophia's face.

Although her heart stopped beating in shock from those deep and indifferent eyes, Sophia, who was already mentally prepared, quickly kept herself basically calm, with a sweet and charming smile on her face, her pink lips parted, It is necessary to express the meaning of surrender and communicate. As long as the other party offers a condition, no matter what it is, there is room for things to turn around.

She was actually quite confident, because after thinking about it, she realized that she had no hatred or conflict of interest with this mysterious magician. She could give him all the treasures of the Sun King, and let him destroy the secrets. She didn't even look at it. He has no possibility of obtaining the position of the heir of the Sparrow family, not to mention an obstacle, and his plan to kill "Borak" has been shattered before it even started, causing no real damage.

On the contrary, when I am alive, I can still give him things that he cannot get in the underground palace, such as the secrets of the royal family, such as the ancient precious documents collected before, such as wealth enough to make most earls jealous, such as my own body and future secrets. help.

As soon as the organized words came to her lips, she noticed that Lucien's eyes moved down slightly, and she followed him reflexively to look over, only to see a group of large wet marks on her battle skirt that were very eye-catching, and she moved back to pass by Along the route, a long trail of water reflects faint light, and there is a puddle of water stains where it was limp before.

Suddenly, Sophia's face flushed red, her sweet smile was uglier than crying, and she felt ashamed and angry that her skin was hot enough to fry an egg.

"how do I……"

"It's too embarrassing, it's so embarrassing! I'm going to die!"

"He's not a gentleman at all, bastard! bastard!"

How could Lucien have time to pay attention to Sophia's mood, but he was a little amused. Before, she was cruel, confident and elegant, but she lost all her cards. When she was in a desperate situation, she would lose her composure like this. Natasha, it is definitely not at all. Moved, fight back desperately, try to grasp that glimmer of hope, even if you die, you will have no regrets.

It's really incomparable!

Speaking of which, Sophia has just turned 20, and already has the strength of level 5. Such things as blood are really enviable and unavailable. If the bloodline is top-notch and the talent is outstanding, the promotion speed can be far faster than most magicians, but most magicians are faster than most knights. After all, not everyone has such a top-notch bloodline. Terrifying talent, this is only a very small group of nobles - ancient magicians killed hundreds of thousands of human beings just to obtain a stable inheritance of a top bloodline, and they continued for several generations.

And this is just the beginning. Their future improvement still depends on the tempering of their own will. They can no longer maintain rapid promotion by exploring the world and getting closer to reality like arcanists. Like Lucien in front of her, just One year older than her, she is already a sixth-ring magician. If Sophia wants to become a high-level magician, it may take ten, twenty, or even longer without the help of extremely rare external forces.

A light green halo of tranquility swayed, and the noble children who had relaxed a lot after the death of the "devil" suddenly felt exhausted, and lay down and fell asleep uncontrollably. Only Sophia was left unaffected.

Taking advantage of the recovery time of mental power, Lucien left warning magic on these noble children, once they woke up or had other changes, he could immediately feel them.

"Take me to the Sun King's secret room." Lucien said to Sophia in a deep voice, having no time to play hide-and-seek with the devil of "pain" who might not have completely disappeared.

"Uh...Okay!" Sophia was taken aback for a moment, then turned over and stood up, not daring to hesitate, "Mr. Magician, it doesn't matter what you ask me to do, as long as..."

After the interruption, she suddenly didn't know how to organize her words.

Lucien nodded lightly, and said in a "Borak" voice: "As long as you do what I tell you, and you don't die because of it, I'm not interested in killing you either. After all, we didn't have any hatred in the past, and now you won't fight with me." I snatched the 'treasure', and I will not stay in the empire in the future, right?"

"Yes, it's really easy to communicate with a wise magician!" Sophia said ecstatically, praising from the bottom of her heart.

Lucien laughed twice, as long as you can really fulfill my order and survive.

Ralph, who was hit by Lucien's "domination of human beings", walked to the secret room first, Sophia dragged the sleepy Claire to follow, and Lucien unhurriedly landed at the end, carefully sensing the people behind him. The noble children of the land and Sophia, Claire, and Ralph in front of him, maybe they will suddenly become "painful" devils.

After entering the secret room, Ralph squatted down, pressed a gray wall brick into a slight depression, then took out a silver dagger, cut his wrist, and poured blood on the corresponding stone brick on the ground.

As the blood dripped more and more, Ralph rested his arm on the stone brick, and weak milky white rays of light flowed into the stone brick from the surface of his body.

The stone bricks gradually bloomed with a touch of brilliance, sucking the accumulated blood into them, and silently condensed a door full of strange patterns on the wall.

After Ralph lost half of his vitality, he seemed sluggish and wobbly, but under Lucien's control, he opened the door with difficulty and walked into the second-floor secret room first.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Ralph, Lucien searched again carefully with the peeping magic eye, and then took Sophia and Claire into the energy gate.

Behind the door is a spacious and simple hall. There are murals painted on the surrounding walls. The ground is covered with magic circles, and the lines converge on the strange altar in the center.

This altar is different from the sun altar in the inner layer of the palace. It is cast in two colors of dark and dark red, and inlaid with devil horns with mysterious patterns. The altar is full of hot and holy sun breath, and on this altar, there is a magic wand with a huge sun stone.

Lucien swept across the complex magic circle and altar, preliminarily judged that they had the function of confinement and extraction, and then carefully observed the murals while guarding against Sophia, Ralph and others.

The more he looked at it, the more surprised Lucien was, because the part in front of the mural was very similar to "Viken's Special Summoning Ceremony": a man with a face full of hatred and resentment used the inexplicable ritual of drawing puppets, throwing puppets, and burning puppets to summon out A devil with an indeterminate shape, only two special sharp horns can judge its identity.

And the remaining murals made Lucien even more horrified. When this loathsome man was possessed by the projection of the devil, gained powerful power, and killed all the loathsome people, circles of magic circles suddenly appeared around him, completely imprisoning him , and then a middle-aged man wearing a magic crown appeared in the mural. With complicated gestures, he extracted the devil projection from the man's body!

Then this middle-aged man who looked like Thanos opened the altar, dissipated and disintegrated the devil's projection, and merged into himself!

"It turns out that this is capturing the projections of the seven great devils, and then integrating them into the body like a fusion of blood vessels. Thanos is really..."

Lucien was both surprised and admired. When faced with the mysterious and weird Seven Devils, most magicians would choose to destroy them as soon as possible, stay away from them, or trade with them to get help. Only such domineering and crazy guys , only thinking about how to catch them, study them, and fuse them.

"Where are Thanos' experimental materials and magic notes?" This is what Lucien wants most, followed by the sun scepter on the altar.

Sophia pointed to the small door in the corner of the hall, showing a flattering sweet smile: "Dear Mr. Magician, there are some incomplete notes left by Thanos there. According to Uncle Ulrich, before the Holy Calendar, there seems to be The legendary magician came in and took most of the information."

Has a legendary magician come in? Could it be Viken? That's why he wrote Viken's Special Summoning Ritual? But what about "Fables of Pain"? This way of spreading on a large scale does not match the content of the mural at all. There is no way to monitor who summoned the devil. Shouldn't we focus on 'cultivating' after selecting the right person?

Knowing more than Sophia and the others imagined, Lucien had countless questions in his heart, and then pressed his thoughts, and after asking Ralph and probably judging the magic circle, he said flatly: "Sophia, go and use the 'magic wand' 'Take it off."

Sophia's pretty face paled immediately, and she was very afraid of touching some kind of curse, but she didn't dare to disobey Lucien's order, otherwise she would die immediately. She tried to use her own charm to lure Lucien to let Ralph or Claire take it, but what she got back was only ruthless and cold eyes, so she had to walk to the altar tremblingly while secretly cursing the damned mysterious mage. In front of the stage, cast the "Mage Hand" to remove the "magic scepter".

Nothing changed, Sophia relaxed and handed the magic wand to Lucien.

Lost an "appraisal technique" in the past, and there was not much feedback, but Lucien was not surprised, because it showed that the level of the "scepter" had reached at least level nine, which could not be directly cracked by his current identification technique. Combined with magic analysis, it takes a few days to complete, and there is no way to use it immediately.

Putting the "scepter" away, Lucien led Sophia, Ralph, and Claire into the small door in the corner. Inside were rows of empty bookshelves, only a few incomplete books on the metal desk. notes.
