Throne of Magical Arcana

On a sultry night, full of oppressive atmosphere, waiting for a heavy rain to come.

Lucien chose a completely different path from last time, and it took him more than ten minutes to reach the abandoned house with tall willow trees in front of it.

However, Lucien did not go out directly, but observed secretly. In the shadow of the willow tree, stood three guys wearing black robes and their faces covered by hoods. Judging from their height and shape, one of them was Smile, and the other was The sage, and a magic apprentice that Lucien wasn't sure it was the last time he saw it.

Walking around in the nearby shadows, Lucien didn't find the ambush, but he didn't relax because of it. After returning to the original hiding position, he took out a black, Oddly shaped spell-casting materials.

Then Lucien opened his mouth, as if he was about to say a spell, but no sound came out, only the spell-casting material in his palm began to vibrate rapidly, faster and faster, and waves of invisible waves spread out from it.

"The scream of the bat", the first magic created by Lucien.

It was constructed by Lucien by imitating the principle of bats using ultrasonic waves to "probe", that is, the biological version of the radar, which uses ultrasonic waves to cooperate with the apprentice-level magic of "detect magic aura", and mental power to check whether there are hidden people around.

When Lucien learned "Detecting Magic Aura", he knew that magic apprentices and formal magicians have many magical means to hide their magic aura, but below the sixth ring, all methods of concealing magic aura require their own There is no buff-type and defensive magic working at the same time, unless it is a constant magic effect, so under normal circumstances, after releasing the magic that conceals one's own aura, there is no targeted cracking of other detection methods, so the "scream of the bat" It will be of great use.

Of course, magicians with strange means, if they know in advance that there is the magic of "the scream of the bat", there is still a way to avoid it. At least Lucien knows that he can incorporealize, spiritize, and then cast the magic that conceals his own aura. Magic, so in the battle of a magician, the reasonable choice of magic is also a large part of one's own strength.

If it wasn't for apprentice-level magic, there were very few light-related magics, and Lucien even wanted to construct an infrared-type magic that detects heat. After all, one more detection magic would be more secure.

Waves of ultrasonic waves spread around the black spellcasting material in Lucien's hand like water waves. Whenever an obstacle is encountered, that part of the wave returns to the black irregular spherical material, allowing the mental power to concentrate on Lucien's mind above. The surrounding scene gradually appeared in the middle of the night, even in the dark night, it was as clear as day.

[With me as the center, within a sphere with a radius of 100 meters, there is no way to check except inside the house, just some mice without magic aura. 】Lucien is judging the effect of the investigation, and at the same time regrettably did not create infrared magic, otherwise it can be seen in the house, 【Wait, there is an owl on that tree, um, it is Doro, the tree over there On the tree... there is a crow, hey, crow. 】

After seeing this crow, Lucien relaxed a lot. Judging from his experience last time, the owner of this crow should be suspicious and would not do anything without absolute certainty. During this period of time, he did not No action, no contact with anyone, certainly no information has been exposed, it seems that he still wants to test and observe himself.

After the "Scream of the Bat" magic ended, the black magic material in Lucien's hand seemed to have dried up, turning into a pile of spun yarn, and slowly fell to the ground from between his fingers.

This is the "bat's pituitary gland". Lucien's own mental power cannot support the ultrasonic wave beyond a certain level, so he can only rely on the organ of the bat as the casting material to complete the entire magic.

Just as Lucien was about to continue observing for a while, and wait until there were no other abnormalities before going out to meet Smile and the sage, another magic apprentice suddenly made a voice: "Dear Professor, I think you should have arrived nearby The reluctance to come out may be due to seeing me. In fact, it was my teacher who discovered the trace of the evil creature this time. He expressed his kindness to you and hoped to communicate with a profound magician like you."

Deliberate changes can't conceal the special husky sex appeal of her voice. She is the magic apprentice "White Honey".

After hearing her words, Lucien made a judgment, walked out from the shadow at the back of the house, as if protruding from the darkness, and walked slowly under the willow tree: "Thank you to your teacher, although I know , there is a pair of eyes staring at us from that tree, but I still hope to thank him formally through you."

"Professor, how do you know?!" Bai Mitang was so surprised that she almost forgot to change her voice. She turned her head to look at the tree, but in the thick darkness, she couldn't see anything. [How could he? Found Ashley? In this darkness, and covered up the magical aura. 】

For this professor, Bai Mitang felt even more mysterious and strange.

The crow seemed to be struck by lightning and almost fell from the branch. Fortunately, it spread its wings in time, circled for a circle, and headed away in another direction.

The sage and Smile also didn't expect that they would be followed and stared at by another magician's pet, and couldn't help trembling. If it was a malicious magician, the two of them would be in danger. They looked at Bai Mitang , with anger in the cold voice: "You need an explanation."

Bai Mi Tang had a very upright attitude and sincerely apologized: "I'm very sorry for hiding it from you. You can get a gift. The teacher just wants to meet Mr. Professor. If he encounters danger while catching evil creatures, the teacher can also carry out through Ashley. Help, though, now that Ashley is gone."

As for observing the strength of the mysterious magician "Professor", she didn't say anything, but everyone present understood.

For an official magician, after the sage and Smile expressed their attitudes with anger, there is actually not much to do. The power gap is too big. If you kill Bai Mitang for this matter, say Maybe the crow flew back to kill him right away, so after seeing Bai Mitang apologized and promised to make an apology, both of them nodded: "I hope this kind of thing will never happen again, this is Alto, if this kind of thing happens, Your teacher will be considered a church spy, and will become the enemy of all magicians and magic apprentices. The last time the witch and Mr. Magician from the headquarters of the Magic Council were ambushed by the church, many magicians and magic apprentices suspected that there were spies inside. .”

Lucien had already walked in front of them, his hoarse voice seemed to be sharpening a rusty iron sword: "You can tell me where the evil creature is."

"In the old house of Baron Laurent in the aristocratic district, no one in their family has inspired blood power for three consecutive generations, and they have been unable to hold important positions in the Principality. They have declined. There are very few servants in the old house, and it is very deserted. When Leigh flew by at night, he heard a noisy sound inside. Out of curiosity, he flew down to have a look, and found that there was a crazy party inside, full of crazy men and women, and someone on the small altar in the middle was trying to collect such things. Power, that person is Baron Laurent. From him, Ashley smelled a bit of an evil creature." Bai Mitang explained the discovery of the matter clearly, because she was worried that Mr. Professor might misunderstand:

"After observing for a period of time, the teacher is sure that they will hold another gathering tonight, and it should be the critical moment of sacrifice."

The sage nodded, with a lot of emotion in his old voice: "Many of these nobles, when there are no knights for several generations, and they can't get holy water from the church, they will find various ways to stimulate blood power, even if they know they are being killed. The devil, the temptation of the devil, will take risks." He seems to have seen many such things.

To become a nobleman, no matter the title or the territory is hereditary, unless you violate the first ten articles of the sacred law, you will be deprived of the title and territory by your own lord, but if no one has stimulated the blood power for several generations, it means this The family has begun to decline, and people will swallow up the territory through various means, both openly and secretly. In the end, there will only be one title of title, and they will become bankrupt nobles. And such nobles, even if they are not deprived of their glory for a few generations Forgotten, and in the end, no different from commoners.

Lucien also has his own judgment on what happened. He thinks that the "Silver Horn" cult has started to move again after nearly two months of silence: "Do you know the strength of that evil creature? And how to get to the noble area?" ?”

The aristocratic area is surrounded by inner city walls. At this time, the gates of the city have long been closed, and only the nobles living inside can let the soldiers open it.

"Teacher, judging from the specifications of the altar, it should be a low-level devil at the level of an ordinary knight, but as long as it is destroyed before the sacrifice is completed, what it projects will only be at the level of a high-level knight attendant." Bai Mitang didn't think this matter was true. It's dangerous, but I, the sage and others are sure to destroy this kind of powerful devil projection, and the professor is a powerful official magician who doesn't know how many rings he is.

The sage then said: "Bai Mitang didn't know how to contact the owl, so he passed me, and I happened to know a secret road that can enter the noble area at night, so I followed together and led the way for you, Mr. Professor. With you last time For your guidance, my spell model analysis has almost been completed, and if the professor allows me later, I would like to do it for you, an enemy of this level does not need you to do it."

For Mr. Professor, the sage is very grateful. When he knew that Bai Mitang's teacher was still doubting the professor's strength and wanted to observe this matter, he suddenly felt a little afraid, afraid that the powerful image of Mr. Professor in his mind would be shattered, afraid The professor was killed by Bai Mitang's teacher because he exposed his strength, so that he would have no one to ask for advice in the future, so under the influence of two emotions, he proposed a little impulsively.

Lucien was worried that the involvement of the "Silver Horn" cult would make this matter changeable. The stronger his side was, the safer it would be, and the sage might have magical items similar to "Ice Avenger", so he pondered for a while Finally, he nodded and said: "When the matter is over, you can ask me a question."

As long as you get the Wraith Dust and get rid of other people smoothly, you will disappear in the magic circle for a period of time, so you don't have to worry about things like your strength being seen through and your powerful image collapsing.

"Can I help you, Mr. Professor." On the one hand, Bai Mitang made up for the rudeness just now, and on the other hand, Ashley, the crow, had already flown away, and it fell to her to observe the professor's strength.

Of course Lucien agreed, how could he not want the hostages sent to his door.

Smile thought about it for a long time. Because he was able to contact the professor, his status in the circle was obviously improved. If he was robbed by the sage and Bai Mitang, then he, who had lost the relationship between the witch and the professor in a row, and was relatively weak in the circle, It is very likely that he will become more and more marginalized in the future, which is not conducive to the improvement of his own strength, so he also begged to go.

Then, led by the sage, Lucien and others walked towards the noble district.
