Chapter Seventy-Four: Sophia's Change (Part 1)

"You, you killed him?" Sophia's crisp and coquettish voice trembled obviously, revealing intense consternation and panic, this was probably the first time she had seen the familiar aristocratic young man being killed alive in front of her eyes, the wounds were hideous, blood was flowing, and her eyes were staring, as if she didn't expect that she would die under Duda's sword, shouldn't she have been teleported out of the magic array after being seriously injured?

Lucien was accustomed to seeing dead people, and the intelligent creatures he killed with his own hands were not one or two, and he was not panicked, disgusted, or greatly impacted at this time, but he couldn't bear to look up and look at the dome of the underground palace.

Is this an instinctive change in the underground palace after being stimulated by some kind of stimulus, or is it deliberately done by someone? If so, what is the purpose of the conspirators behind the scenes? After such a change, will the Duke of Plantagenet, the Earl of Nurembeck and others outside be unable to observe every move in the underground palace?

If this is the case, it may be good news for yourself, you can show your strength without reservation, and let all the intrigues and tricks of the children disappear.

In the face of absolute strength suppression, he only needs a short time to reach the secret room, open the secret passage, enter the inner layer of the palace of the Sun King Tanos, and perform a magic ceremony.

But the question is, what about the Golden Knight in the underground palace, and what about Midalen, the "Crown of Glory"? This is the most crucial reason why Lucien chose to go with Sophia instead of going straight to the secret room!

Duda propped his hands on the ground and retreated in spite of the bloodstained ground: "I, I didn't." I didn't want to kill him, I, I just wanted to defeat him and seriously injure him, but he, unexpectedly, stood there stupidly, refused to teleport away, he refused to teleport away! It's not my fault, it's all his fault! It's not my fault!"

He stumbled, stammered and screamed hysterically. The eyes are blank. He kept shaking his head, as if he was crazy.

PTSD, I don't know why, Lucien suddenly came up with this psychological term in his head. Duda appears to be killing for the first time. And he killed a familiar noble child without any psychological preparation. The impact can be imagined. Mental disorders are inevitable.

"Calm down, Duda, calm down. It's not your fault, it's the magic array inside the underground palace that has gone wrong. Lucien has recently focused on the study of "illusion", and after frequently using the transformation mask, he is worried that he will have psychological problems, so he has been making up for related books such as "Behavioral Psychology", and at this time he is very "expert" to "appease" Duda.

The gentle sound like a warm breeze seemed to ease the tension and panic of Sophia next to her, and she glanced at "Borak" with a little confusion and surprise, as if she didn't expect him to be so calm in the face of death and the earth-shattering changes in the underground palace, so that the people around him couldn't help but calm down.

All kinds of emotions flashed in an instant, and Sophia spoke softly, helping to enlighten Duda: "Yes, this has nothing to do with you, it's the magic array that has gone wrong." ”

"Yes, it's not my fault! it's the magic array's problem!" Hearing Lucien's explanation, Duda was like a drowning man grasping at the last straw, extremely crazy.

After a few more words of reassurance, seeing that Duda's mood calmed down a little, Lucien took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "Can you tell us, what happened just now?"

Desperate to shake off his guilt, Duda recounts what happened in fits and starts, as if reminiscing about a nightmare.

After he entered the underground palace, he appeared in a nearby bedroom, and then walked towards the depths of the palace according to the layout changes suggested by the map, trying to meet Alten and the others.

The first time he fought without fancy, without a mentor, and without help, Duda was more and more excited, and gave full play to the beast and combat talent contained in his body, and after a hearty fight, Ge flew the opponent's long sword, stepped forward, and slashed at the opponent's neck without scruples, anyway, he would be teleported out of the magic array after he was seriously injured, and there were several heavenly knights outside, and there was no shortage of healing potions.

However, the touch under the sword did not disappear, and the blood splattered Duda's face, and the bastard, who usually hated it, stared at him with a disillusioned, frightened and desperate gaze, and then softened to the ground with this look.

The desperate gray that was not the slightest bit of life was so deeply engraved in Duda's mind, that he was terrified and frightened when he thought about it.

After listening to Duda's account and verifying the time, Lucien confirmed that it was the moment when he sensed the change in the magic array.

"In terms of scope, it's the period of time when you feel like someone was following us. Sophia also remembered the anomaly of "Borak" before, and pulled him aside and talked in a low voice so that Duda would not hear him.

Lucien was not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue and said, "After I awakened the Silver Moon bloodline, my premonition of danger is getting stronger and stronger. Maybe the star-like bloodline has this characteristic, after all, it is related to the astrology. ”

Sophia had no doubts about this explanation, and said pitifully: "I didn't expect that there would be such a change when I came to the trial, Borak, who do you say would do it? Is there some conspiracy?"

The turquoise eyes were covered with a layer of mist, Miao Man's body was weak and couldn't help but tremble slightly like the wind, her face was slightly pale, and her pink lips were biting tightly, such a beautiful picture could arouse the strong desire of most men to protect, completely forgetting that she was a fifth-level bloodline warlock, and I couldn't wait to take pity on her in my arms.

From the perspective of time, it can probably rule out the possibility of you doing something wrong, Lucien replied coldly in his heart, because Sophia was by his side at that time, and it was impossible to hide that he used special items, magic or rituals to affect the operation of the underground palace, but many magic arrays could be activated with a delay, and Sophia's suspicion could not be completely ruled out.

"Don't worry, Your Highness Princess, I will protect you with my life. Lucien pretended to be fascinated, and "couldn't help it" stretched out his left hand, patting Sophia on the slender shoulder with a slight hesitation.

Sophia sighed softly, showing her coquettishness and weakness, and followed Lucien's comfort, hugged his left hand, leaning on his body, and the faint fragrance was intoxicating: "I am a warlock, and I need a determined knight to help me block the front in order to exert my full strength." We support each other, and we will definitely be able to smash all the conspiracies and make you the Earl of Goldeneye, and ...... when the time comes"

"I will trample all the intrigues under my feet!" Like all men who are overwhelmed by tenderness and blood, Lucien said unusually "heroic and confident", as if he felt that there was no difficulty in the world world that could stop him, and even his right hand, which was holding the "Frost" long sword, hung down and rested on his waist.

More than ten seconds passed, Sophia suddenly woke up and stood up sharply, her face was red, and she took a few steps back, and Lucian's right hand quietly left her waist, revealing the storage bag underneath, and Holm's crown ring "electron" slipped into it.

"There are only two people who can do this, my brother or Alten! one is the future emperor, and the other is the one who is most likely to become the Duke of Plantagenet, and only they can make the 'Crown of Glory' who guards the underground palace cooperate, after all, Lord Midalen is nearing the end of his life, and needs to provide care for his direct descendants for a long time to come. ”

Sophia restrained her shyness and analyzed solemnly, "And their target is undoubtedly me and you." My father dotes on me very much, and the empire has not had an empress, and the first heir in line to the Plantagenet family has died several times before ascending to the throne of the duke, and if we don't die, they can't rest easy!

"Your Excellency the Crown of Glory is also cooperating with them, so what should we do? They are not afraid that they will be investigated by His Majesty the Enraged Emperor afterwards?" Lucien said "panicked" and "incredulous".

"Since they have done this, they must have figured out how to deal with the aftermath, and perhaps Uncle Ulrich is also their ally! Sophia said with a gloomy face, "As for Lord Midalen, although he is a golden knight, his body has begun to fail, as long as we reach the secret room first, there is still hope." ”

"Hope?" Lucien asked, "very confused."

Sophia's voice was low: "There is also a secret passage in the secret room, which can lead to the inner layer of the palace, where you can find high-level scrolls, and you can control powerful magic circles, which is our only hope to save our lives." This secret, which no one in the Plantagenet family knows, was discovered by accident when my father participated in trials when he was young, and he only told me. ”

After speaking, she raised her head and said solemnly and softly and pitifully: "Borak, will you fight with me to the end, chasing that glimmer of hope?"

"I will always be a knight of Her Royal Highness the Princess, never back down, never give up. Lucien replied "affectionately."

Sophia's eyes were misty again, and she waved her fist and said, "Then let's rush to the secret room immediately!" We can't wait for Uncle Ulrich and Uncle Nurembeck outside to find out about the anomaly and forcibly break the magic array to come in and rescue us." ”

"The only thing we can rely on is ourselves and each other!"

After the incendiary words, Sophia was satisfied to see that Lucian's expression became extremely excited, and then turned her head and ordered Duda to let him, who has no knight strength, find a no-man's corner to hide, and wait for the matter to end.

The moment she turned her head, Lucien's excited and distorted face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, and she really knew the existence of the inner layer of the Dao Palace! What do you want to do? What do you get? Also, little girl, the transformation from "Lin Daiyu" to "Wu Zetian" is too abrupt, and she still needs more practice, and now she can only deceive those hot-blooded young people who are dazzled by you.

But why did she have to pull Borak for nothing? (to be continued......
