……………………………………
Near the shimmering lake, a dark, gloomy, vine-covered castle stands back against the steep cliffs, and the spires of towers rise into the clouds like a dark forest.
Lucien behind the boulder in the distance looked at the Karlendia Castle, which obviously had the architectural style of the magic empire in the Dark Ages, took a deep breath, moved the "Avenger of the Snow" ring to the left ring finger, and took it Natasha gave the "Holm Crown" award ring "Mo" and put it on the more prominent left index finger, but the front engraved with the word "Mo" was turned by Lucian into the belly.
Facing the unknown danger, facing the castle master who might be terrible and the necromancer from the magic council of the mainland, Lucian must use all resources to improve his security.
Entering the casting focus and calming down, as if snow and ice, Lucian stepped out from behind the boulder and walked towards Kareldia Castle.
The cool night breeze in June dissipated the heat of the day, and only the sound of insects came around intermittently. Lucien walked to the gate of Guwang without any obstruction or movement.
He stretched out his hand calmly, and bent his fingers, "咚咚咚" rhythmically knocked on the door made of thick iron and wood.
After three consecutive nine strikes, Lucian stopped knocking at the door and waited quietly there.
After perhaps two or three minutes, the gate of the castle squeaked slowly, and then the sound of heavy friction with the ground sounded.
This door may not be able to be pulled by two or three strong men, but it can be opened by a hazel-haired old man wearing a black soft hat, black dress and white shirt. He strictly observes the nobleman's etiquette, The standard Continental accent asked: "Excuse me, sir, who are you? Why come to Kareldia Castle?"
Without direct action, things have succeeded for a little while. Lucian smiled politely: "Dear Sir, I am a magician who travels through the Principality of Djibouti ..."
Having said that, Lucien paused, and saw the old butler still looked serious and serious before proceeding: "I encountered a band of robbers in the wild in Longya Town. They tried to rob me, but I was killed one by one. To my surprise, I found an invitation from a robber. The gentleman from the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council invited the necromancers and apprentices from the original Wilfried Territory to attend the 'Death Feast' in Guibao. 'Letter from the party. "
"I think it may be that an unfortunate magical apprentice was killed by a robber and found a letter. Fortunately, they did not know the text. I was very interested in the" death of death ", so I recorded it according to the apprentice on the invitation The Castle of Kareldia took the liberty to visit and asked your host to forgive me. "
"Dear guest, what is the sign on the invitation?" The old housekeeper's expression did not change, as if he was not an evil and horrible magician in front of himself, but an ordinary businessman or traveler.
Although the old housekeeper couldn't see the appearance in the black hood, Lucian still kept the perfect ceremonial smile: "The invitation is a black six-pointed star."
Old butler gently said: "Dear guests, please allow me to report to my master."
He held a white candle inlaid in a candlestick, turned in the dim yellow light and walked deep into the dark castle.
Kushiro stood in place without waiting to step forward.
The old housekeeper seemed to walk slowly, but after his figure disappeared into the darkness, the dim candlelight lit up again, and then he staggered slowly to Lucien.
"Dear guest, you have a very good manners and know how to respect others." The old housekeeper narrowed his eyes and looked at Lucian's unmoved feet. "My host, Viscount Carlendia, invites you to meet in the study, Please follow me. Please follow me closely, don't get lost in the dark, it will be dangerous. "
Balussian stroked his chest with his left hand and bowed slightly: "Thanks Viscount Caroldia for forgiving me for taking the liberty."
The old housekeeper said nothing, held the candlestick and turned to walk slowly, Lucian quickly followed.
I waited until I was far away from the castle gate, and the darkness on both sides suddenly wriggled, but when Lucian looked carefully, they were calm and dark again.
The keen sense of Baluthian's destiny star, strong mental power, and the alertness of 'alertness' makes him always think that in the darkness not illuminated by candlelight, there are countless horrible and dangerous things hidden.
The crickets of darkness seemed to be "normally shaking" with the light of the candlelight, and Lucien was slightly hairy and his skin was tight, and he did not dare to follow the old steward carelessly.
I do not know how long, the old housekeeper stopped suddenly, then pushed forward, a door slowly opened, the bright yellow light shined out, all the darkness faded.
"Dear guest, please." The old steward half bowed, and his right hand was bent and stretched out, signalling Lucian to advance.
Kushiro nodded slightly: "Thank you Mr. Steward." Then he calmly and decisively stepped into the room.
Deep yellow thick carpets, gold carved coat racks, more than a dozen silver candlesticks inlaid on the walls on both sides, dark red precious wood desks, bookcases, and ornate details all show the owner's Taste favors luxury.
Sitting on a set of red leather sofas in front of the desk, there was a man with blond hair and golden eyes wearing a black shirt and red coat. He had profound features, handsome and full of man.
"Hello, the magician is born first." The blond beauty leaned lazily on the sofa, did not stand up to say hello, and the old housekeeper who strictly followed the etiquette hurriedly walked to him and lowered his ear. Chant: "Master, please keep the etiquette of the aristocracy."
Balusian politely replied: "Hello, Lord Viscount Karindia, thank you for not minding my intrusive visit."
子 Viscount Kareldia chuckled to the old butler and said, "Butler Neder, look at this magician first, you don't care if I sit, so relax."
"If the Count is just fine, he is a model of elegance and nobility," the old housekeeper muttered, standing to the side of Viscount Carrendia and no longer talking.
Viscount Kareldia held her forehead and mourned: "But I only have a vague impression of Grandpa. How can I learn his etiquette?" Then he pointed to the sofa: "Mr. Magician, please sit down. All I already know the meaning, but how do I believe that you are not the night watchman of the church? They are not short of surrendering magicians. "
Even if he brought up the church, he still didn't care much, and flicked his right finger on the arm of the sofa.
Balussian calmly said the answer that had been prepared long ago: "I have a nickname of 'Professor'."
教授 "Professor? The 359th professor in the church purification sequence ?!" Viscount Carlendia's lazy expression disappeared and asked solemnly. Because every person in the church purification sequence is a terrifying strong, such as the Arcanist, Legendary Magician, Cardinal of Northern Truth, Taikoo Dragon, Vampire Ancestor, Prince of the Werewolf, Kou Taoyuren, Cult Leader, etc. The worst is the level of Sky Knight. The professor's ability to appear on this list with the strength of an intermediate-level magician is enough to show that he has an advantage, maybe he has the strength comparable to a high-level magician.
"He really knows." Lucian breathed a sigh of relief. The low-level members of the magic apprentice level and even ordinary magicians may not know the list of church purification sequences. If it is not a strong and certain strong such as Viscount Carrdia, they will report the code of "professor" by themselves. Treated as a fresh word: "Yes, I am a professor returning from Aalto to the eastern part of the continent."
Viscount Careldia looked up and down at Lucien, and suddenly his eyes fixed, and saw his right hand gently rubbing the ring of the index finger of his left hand, and then re-laid a lazy smile: "Oh, even I have not been able to Go to the cleansing sequence of the church. Mr. Professor, you must have extraordinary strength. "But how do you prove that you are a professor? "
Kushiro leaned back easily and leisurely on the sofa without answering: "Master Viscount, how do you need me to prove?"
Viscount Kareldia nodded his head: "I heard that you have created a unique magic that can directly destroy buildings such as houses, even if there is no similar magic in the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council. So I would like to ask the professor Show me, sir, it can best prove your identity. "
Kushiro stood up and pointed to the study: "Is this right here?"
"Mr. Professor, you are free." Viscount Caroline squinted and leaned on the sofa.
Kushiro took the time to walk to the wall and calculated the frequency range slightly. He put his hands up and opened his mouth and screamed silently.
For a while, the fluctuations were introduced into the castle from Lucien's hand, and the vibration information was fed back from the castle. Lucien then adjusted the fluctuation frequency based on this feedback.
It didn't take long for the old castle to start to shake obviously, but this shaking was far from being severe, just the feeling of rowing on the lake.
"This ancient castle must be equipped with many powerful magic arrays, and the resonant hand alone cannot make it violently shake." Lucian guessed.
At this time, the applause of Viscount Careldia came from behind him, and he gently clapped his hands and laughed and said, "Sure enough, it is magical unique magic. In fact, Professor Mr. You can shake my castle, and I will It feels incredible. "
Kushiro took the opportunity to stop her hand Turned her head and smiled: "This will prove my identity, right?"
"Of course, I'm sure you're Mr. Professor." Viscount Carlendia motioned Lucien to sit down and talk about "the time and place of the feast of death, Mr. Professor. You already know that I will let Neder's housekeeper make another The invitation letter is for you, then you can come directly to participate. "Oh, if you are willing to be a guest in my castle to start the banquet, then you do not need an invitation letter. "
Kushiro shook his head and said, "Thank you, Viscount, for your kindness. I still have some things to deal with before I can come over." But if the time and place of the death feast change, how do I know? "
Hearing Lucian's answer, the Neder housekeeper immediately went to the desk and prepared an invitation letter, and Viscount Carlendia thought for a while and thought, "I told Professor Mr. you that your local magic circle had left messages The location, if it changes, will be mentioned above. "
Then he told Lucien two locations and the meaning of the markers in Coser City, and finally said with a funny smile: "I look forward to your participation, Mr. Professor.
If you can come a day early, it would be better to talk with that Felipe who is also from the headquarters of the Magic Council. You are all young people, full of energy, and you should get together like this. And I'm also interested in arcane and magic knowledge. "
"Young man?" Lucien looked at Viscount Carlendia in doubt. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come (this article is provided by Daybreak Update Group @ 画 长空) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
