Throne of Magical Arcana

———The power went out just after turning on the computer at work in the morning, and I had to sneak out again, and ran home to update, a bit late, sorry, also, please recommend tickets on Monday, I want to push the list last week~

…………………………………………………………………………………

In the humid and unbearable night, several magic apprentices wearing black hooded robes, as long as they are seen, they will be regarded as evil and mysterious people. They specially choose the shadow of the house to walk. Even if they occasionally encounter drunks on the road, they will turn a blind eye to them. let go.

But Lucien and the others were not careless because of this. Apart from drunks and people whose identities cannot be revealed and who belong to the back side of the light, walking in the dark, there are also night watchmen of the Church Tribunal. They often look like greedy vultures in the night Wandering in every corner, chasing the smell of blood and carrion, the black gloves on their hands are the source of nightmares in the hearts of every magician and magic apprentice in Alto.

"Professor, it's in this house." Ten minutes later, when he was about to walk out of the messy buildings, complex terrain, and filthy Aderjan District, and walked to the gate leading to the noble district, Xian The visitor stopped and pointed to the same ordinary house surrounded by many ordinary dilapidated houses.

Regarding the sage, both Bai Mitang and Smile trusted the sage. They each performed detective magic, briefly checked the situation of the house and its surroundings, and followed the sage into it after confirming that it was safe. Lucien Seeing that the investigative magic they used included all the investigative magic I knew except the "Scream of the Bat", I gave up the inspection and just used my mental power to sense it. After all, the disadvantage of "Scream of the Bat" is that it cannot Scout what's going on inside the house.

The dilapidated house is covered with cobwebs, and it seems that no one has lived in it for a long time. As the sage walked to the bedroom, he said casually: "Beggars used to come here to spend the night, but in recent months, Aalto The beggars all disappeared for some reason."

Neither Lucien nor Bai Mitang spoke, but Smile said something strange: "Why do beggars disappear? What can they do?"

"I heard it has something to do with evil creatures." The sage replied in a flat tone, as if he had heard some inside information, while Lucien and Bai Mitang remained silent.

After entering the bedroom, the sage removed the tattered box, and used the corresponding magic to release the hidden magic trap, opening the entrance.

A gust of cold wind blows from inside, but there is no rancid, dull breath, it seems that this secret passage is often used.

[Could it be that the sage is from the aristocratic district and often uses this secret passage to attend secret gatherings in the Aderjan district? ] This was the thought in the hearts of Lucien, Bai Mitang and others, but no one would be foolish enough to ask about this kind of thing.

After the inspection, under the leadership of the sage, several magic apprentices entered the secret passage one after another and closed the entrance here.

The secret passage is very smooth, planted with the kind of glowing moss in the sewer, the fluorescence is cold and gloomy, and people can't help feeling fear and shivering.

Lucien and the others noticed that every ten meters above the sewer, there was a magic circle of "micro-effect fossilization into mud".

This simplified magic circle can be activated by anyone with mental power.

Sensing the puzzled eyes of Mr. Professor, White Honey, and Owl, the sage smiled and explained: "This is for destroying the secret passage in an emergency, so that it will not be discovered."

"I like your prudence and care." Lucien praised the sage with a hoarse voice and an attitude in line with the strong status of a professor.

Bai Mitang also smiled and said, "I feel much relieved now."

…………

Ten minutes later, in a dark corner of the aristocratic area, under the cover of many tall shady trees, Lucien and others climbed out one by one, and quickly found Laurent under the guidance of a sage familiar with the place. The baron looked desolate and gloomy, covered with ivy, like an old-fashioned three-story villa of a haunted house.

Outside the iron gate of the villa wall, there was a soldier guarding him. He was wearing ordinary leather armor, unlike the silver-gray chain mail guards that Lucien saw outside the gates of other noble villas on the way. From another aspect, it proves the downfall of Baron Laurent.

Smile looked at the surrounding environment and made a suggestion: "This place is very remote, and there is only one guard guarding the gate. Why don't we go in directly, Mr. Professor, do you think it's okay?"

"It's fine if you don't make a big noise." Lucien indicated to Smile that he could give it a try.

The sage, whose face was covered by a black hood, jumped ahead of Smile and said with a smile in his old voice, "Let me, an apprentice of the astrology department, do this kind of thing. What do you think, Monsieur Professor?"

Lucien let out a sinister laugh: "That's right, professional matters should be handled by professionals."

Although they are not quite used to the professor's vocabulary and grammatical habits, Bai Mitang and Sage understood the meaning and nodded their heads, thinking that's it.

Now that Mr. Professor has made a decision, Smile can only spread his hands: "Then I will cooperate with you, Sage,"

Luke stood helplessly outside the gate of Baron Laurent's villa, yawning from time to time, and silently complained to Baron Laurent in his heart: "Holding a ball every few days is really a nobleman's face. Hmph, a Yue only gave us soldiers who are loyal to the Laurent family ten silver gnars, while my father and grandfather were twenty silver gnars when they were under the old baron."

Complaining and fighting In the middle of sleep, Luke suddenly heard an owl hooting, and was a little chilled and timid by the whining, and couldn't help turning his head to look over, cursing: "Don't catch your mouse yet, don't be slow!" Teng Teng is like my sixty-year-old grandma."

In the dark and thick night, Luke couldn't see anything, but when he turned his head, he found a dozen or so steps away, standing a mysterious man covered in black robes, eerie and terrifying.

Great fear hit Luke's heart. He was about to scream, but he saw the mysterious man in black raised his head slightly and looked into his eyes.

In the shadow of the hood, the nose, mouth, and cheeks of this mysterious and terrifying man in black are blurred, only the eyes are clearly visible, as if in front of his eyes.

In the deep and dark pupils, there are countless bright spots of light emerging, so complicated, so dreamy, like stars in the night sky.

"Stars..." Looking at these eyes, Luke was confused at first, and then quickly relaxed, feeling that the other party was the person he trusted and respected the most.

Seeing that Luke had been hypnotized by the "Starry Eye", the sage walked in front of him, and said in an old voice calmly: "We are here to attend the baron's ball, open the door and let us in, please speak softly , don’t wake others up.”

"Respect your wishes, this is what I should do." Luke turned around and slowly opened the door with a gap.

Then Lucien, Sage, White Honey and Smile carefully walked through the gate to the dark villa.

After they entered, Luke didn't close the door, but turned around and stood guard with his head held high. He had never been more serious and enthusiastic. It seemed that there was a fire burning in his heart, and he wanted to do more for that gentleman. .

…………

In the middle of the hall, on a simple altar, stood a middle-aged man, wearing a silver robe, with his hands raised high, his eyes closed, and his expression eager and crazy, as if he was listening to the rapid groans, and seemed Listening to the teachings from illusion.

That strange aura slowly drifted to the altar, and centered on the silver-white horn pattern on the middle-aged man's feet, there were shining silver lines one after another, concentrating these auras on the back of the middle-aged man, getting more and more Concentrated, from colorless to condensed pink mixed with black gas, this gas rolled and twisted, slowly changing into a tall phantom with first-born double horns.

"Are you ready? I will give you my strength."

The phantom suddenly spoke.

The middle-aged man, that is, Baron Laurent, replied frantically: "Great Lord of Silver, eternal silence, I have dedicated my soul to you, let the 'angel' you sent merge into me Bloodline, inspire my strength!"

The phantom is transparent, and its shape cannot be seen clearly. It slowly moves forward and sticks to the back of Baron Laurent, blending in little by little.

A painful expression appeared on Baron Laurent's face. It was obvious that fusing projection power was not a pleasant thing, but the pain was quickly suppressed by the frenzy, but there seemed to be crystal lights flickering in the corners of his eyes.

[A lot of magic traps have been set up outside, and now no one can stop me from accepting the power bestowed by the great Lord of Silver and restoring the glory of my family. 】

…………

Outside the villa, as magic apprentices, of course Lucien and the others did not rush in recklessly, but were investigating magic traps, dark magic circles, etc.

"Professor, there are many magic traps, and there are even magic circles. It will take us half an hour to break them without making a big noise." The sage said his own judgment.

Bai Mitang seemed to be carrying a magic item that could sense the breath of evil creatures. At this time, she said in a panic: "We came a little late, the devil's breath has already appeared, and it will be completely projected in ten minutes at most. We have to break in directly." Go, you can't crack the magic circles and traps slowly."

"But we can just break in and break the magic trap, we don't have much mental power left." Smile looked at Lucien, "Professor, I can only ask you to do it. Only you who are strong can be the most powerful." Get rid of these magic traps and magic circles as quickly and simply as possible."

The matter was delayed due to the prudence of the magic apprentices along the way, and a huge change occurred. The sage and Bai Mitang followed Smile and looked at Lucien. Although they did not speak, countless thoughts appeared in their hearts:

[My magic talisman can only destroy the magic circle, and there are so many magic traps, is it really necessary for Mr. Professor to take action? 】

【Will Mr. Professor be a real magician? 】

【How powerful is Mr. Professor? 】

[If Mr. Professor is not an official magician, will he stop attending parties because he is afraid of Bai Mitang's teacher? 】

With eyes full of complex emotions such as worry, doubt, and expectation, Lucien, who had been standing quietly by the side, seemed to be calculating something, put on a sneer and said with a sneer: "No problem, I will solve it quickly, they It will be useless soon, so be prepared."

【Professor is really confident...】

In this strange atmosphere, Lucien approached the villa, stretched out his hands, and pressed them against the wall, then opened his mouth, and uttered a silent incantation again.

A series of invisible fluctuations spread from Lucien's hands, passed to the wall, and fed back, causing the subsequent fluctuations to gradually change.

Seeing Lucien, who was dressed in a black robe and his face was covered by a hood, quietly pressed against the wall of the villa, nothing happened. The sage, Bai Mitang and the others glanced at each other, feeling the doubt in each other's eyes:

【What exactly is the professor doing? 】

Suddenly, Bai Mitang felt the ground shaking a little, and asked strangely, "Are you shaking?"

"Isn't it you?" The sage replied equally strangely.

Smile pointed at the villa in surprise: "Look, the villa is shaking!"

Bai Mitang and the sage looked over immediately, and saw that the three-story old-fashioned villa was shaking back and forth, becoming more and more violent, and the glass and walls made crackling sounds.

"earthquake?"

"No, the shaking of the ground is very weak, it's the villa itself that is shaking!"

"Could it be Mr. Professor?!"

After a brief exchange of opinions, Bai Mitang looked at the professor who was shaking his hands against the wall with his hands on the wall, shaking with the villa: "The villa looks like it's about to collapse! How many rings of magic is this!"

"I read from the magic book that even for the three-ringed fireball technique, it takes more than ten to blow up a villa without the protection of a magic circle." The villa will collapse, as well as the increasingly mysterious and powerful Mr. Professor in front of the villa.

Smile was completely stunned. He had never seen this kind of magic that could directly bring down a villa. He muttered to himself: "As long as the villa collapses, magic traps and magic circles will be useless, Mr. Professor." Really didn't lie."

"What did Master Doro see?!" The owl Doro stopped on Smile's shoulder, sighing fiercely.

And on a tree in the distance, the black crow that followed up at some point slipped its foot and almost fell off the branch again, and a surprised voice came from its mouth: "How many rings of magic is this? !"

The apprentice-level magic "Professor's Hand of Resonance", which measures the natural frequency and creates resonance to destroy buildings, is best at destroying bridges!
