Felipe showed a smile on his pale face like an undead: "Mr. Professor, you really have extraordinary insights and unique perspectives in the field of elemental magic, and I don't think a person like you will definitely not be without fame and status." In fact, I'm curious, are you one of those people I'm familiar with?"
The higher the evaluation of the degree of teaching arcane, the more uncertain he is about his true strength, and he becomes a little hesitant, although he has always been confident, he has no doubt that his strength is definitely the strongest level under high-level magicians, but a magician who can have such a high level of arcane skill and knowledge may not be much worse than himself, and if he really wants to fight, it seems that it is easy to lose both.
Lucien heard Felipe's evaluation and understood that he had passed the level, and replied with a smile in his deliberately changed voice: "Maybe when I become a high-level magician and can meet Alin Ae, I will consider telling Felipe about you." ”
The word "sir" is not used, implying that the two have indeed met at the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council and are familiar people. And Lucien thought that he should have his own level judgment in the purification sequence, so he did not hide or care about the fact that he had not yet become a high-level magician, and tried to create a mysterious and unpredictable feeling of his strength for Felipe with such a frank and confident attitude.
Felipe's aura suddenly became dangerous, and there seemed to be signs of preparing to make a move!
Lucien is still calm on the surface, but his heart is becoming more and more tense, his fox and tiger power and all the responses are based on the other party is a sufficiently rational and sober magician, such a character knows how to weigh the pros and cons and the comparison of strength, but if the other party hides the tendency of adventure or madness, then he is very dangerous! His own strength and magic items are absolutely difficult to compete with the senior three-ring magician. Not to mention Felipe, an existence that is likely to be close to a high-level.
"Necromancers are rumored to be crazier than magicians from other departments. An inexplicable thought flashed through Lucien's mind.
The atmosphere became silent, and the leisurely Viscount Calendia stopped tasting the wine and became fully alert. Although he was reluctant to get involved in the affairs of the Magic Council, this was his castle after all, and it would be a heavy loss if it was destroyed.
The more dangerous and critical the moment, the more Lucien calmed down. Calming down, he calmly picked up the black tea that Steward Ned had put on the coffee table, and took a sip: "Felipe, if you don't have other problems in the elemental realm. I'd like to talk to you about the ancient magic of the necromancy. ”
Since he is testing his own level, he must also have a corresponding attitude, and blindly withdrawing at this time is not in line with the identity of "spoiler".
"He wants to test my magical prowess, isn't he worried that I'll take the opportunity to learn the necromancy-specific magic he wants to discuss?" Felipe, who was confused, faded his dangerous momentum, "Unless, he thinks I can't learn it at all! Either I'm going to be a dead man, and a dead man can't learn any magic! Hmph, professor, you just look down on me like that?"
Felipe, who had been silent for dozens of seconds with squinted eyes, was about to speak when he suddenly heard the voice of Viscount Calendia: "Hehe, two gentlemen. The time for the feast of death is almost up, and if there is anything to communicate, we can wait and talk. ”
His magnetic voice broke the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the study, making Felipe quietly relieved, standing up and saying, "I was too involved in the discussion with Mr. Professor, and I didn't notice the time. ”
Suddenly, Lucien, who almost collapsed and weakened, forcibly held it up and got up with a smile: "Me too." ”
"Steward Ned, you take Mr. Professor to the hall first, I have something to delay Mr. Felipe for two or three minutes. Viscount Calendia placed the wine glass on the windowsill and stepped out on his long legs towards Felipe.
When Lucien and Ned left the study, Viscount Calendia looked at Felipe and smiled: "Mr. Felipe, maybe you don't care, but this is the ancient castle left by my grandfather, and it is something I cherish very much, so if you really want to fight, please solve it quickly, otherwise don't blame me for asking you to go out and continue." ”
Felipe lowered his head and smiled, "Although I often lose control of my emotions, I still know how to respect my master. Don't worry, Viscount, if I really want to make a move, either I can get rid of the professor in thirty seconds, or he has touched the bottom line of me and the organization, and I can't hold back anymore. ”
In Felipe's dictionary, which is a little crazy, the word "respect for the master" needs to be preceded by "this master is strong enough to be respected". And although Viscount Calendia is not a high-level vampire, his strength is not worse, and this is the interior of his castle, if he really wants to fight, he may not be able to win.
"Mr. Felipe, it's great that you can be considerate, and I'll tell Mr. Professor. Viscount Calendia strode towards the door of the study.
Felipe slowly followed behind with Cleveland, his expression as gloomy and pale as ever.
"Teacher, why don't you just try it out? The professor's disgraceful dress is obviously afraid of you. "Cleveland, a middle-aged man who was tall and strong, at least twice his age Felipe, had no problem calling Felipe Sensei. In the world of magic, if you have enough strength and knowledge, you will be treated with the corresponding respect and treatment," and wait, he will definitely try to sabotage your arrangement. ”
Felipe shook his head: "It's okay to be tempted, I didn't go crazy and did it directly." I now have a higher evaluation of the professor's strength, and it's no wonder that he can go to the purification sequence of the church. As long as he doesn't touch the bottom line, it's best not to risk fighting him. He still maintained enough confidence in his own strength, believing that the reason why he didn't go to the purification sequence was simply that he didn't do anything to touch the nerves of the church.
After a pause, Felipe glanced sideways at Cleveland, as if ready to teach a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he still gloomily put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat and walked silently.
The things of the organization are the things of the organization, and the things of oneself are the things of oneself, and the attitudes that are required for the two are different.
............
Following the stern Ned butler, Lucien felt his legs go sore. When faced with a powerful magician like Felipe, who seems to be sanguine, crazy, and powerful, disguise and impersonation are incomparably tests of will and spirit.
"The group that is hostile to the Elemental Will or the Royal Magic Court of Holm seems to be called the Pale Hand, which sounds like an organization between necromancers. Felipe held a feast of death, could it be that he was going to recruit people?"
"In such a situation, Felipe must not be asked directly about the identity of the liaison in Stuart City, because as a 'mid-level magician', he can fly through the Storm Strait on his own. ”
"If you have the opportunity, you will try, and if you don't have the opportunity, you will never take risks. Anyway, when it comes to Steulk, there is still hope to find out. Hehe, for this matter, he was involved in such a serious and dangerous situation, and he is likely to return empty-handed. I just hope Felipe and the others can say it themselves. ”
Countless ideas emerge and disappear in a flash. Lucien walked calmly into the hall.
The smell of decay hit his nose, making Lucien feel like he was in a cemetery.
The decoration of the hall is like the Arto nobles holding a ball, the large and bright space, the long tables full of food, the skillfully stacked wine glasses, the waiters with trays interspersed, and the melodious music are all so elegant and comfortable.
And the only incongruity is the eerie black-robed mages and apprentices. From time to time, they exchanged materials and items such as white brains, dead eyes, brittle skulls, rotting hearts, and intact infant corpses from their pockets in exchange for things or money they needed. It was a rare occasion with so many apprentices and magicians.
Although he was not afraid of corpses, and he used to play with internal organs, it was only a specific occasion, so now Lucien saw this scene. He immediately lost his appetite, and sighed slightly in his heart: "The mage is regarded as a symbol of evil by the people of the entire continent, and the performance of the necromancer is definitely the most important factor in it. ”
"Hello, Mr. Professor. ”
"Mr. Professor. ”
......
When the magic apprentices saw Lucien passing by, they all hurriedly bowed their heads and greeted them humbly and awe, this is a powerful man!
Lucien bowed slightly, grabbed a glass of white water from the waiter's tray, and wandered around the hall, thinking about what to do next with Felipe.
"Mr. Professor......" The familiar voice reached Lucian's ears, and he found himself walking in front of the magic apprentice "Fat Man".
They were crouching in a corner of the hall, with several well-preserved corpses in front of them, explaining something to the other magic apprentices gathered around them.
Lucien smiled casually with a little curiosity and asked, "What are you communicating?"
"Mr. Professor, we are talking about the structure of the human body. All the magic apprentices, including the fat man, hurriedly got up and stood upright in reply.
The four-ring magician Ceci was also here, and his stiff face squeezed out a smile: "Mr. Professor, the structure of the human body they explained is quite special, not only the simple composition of internal organs and blood vessels, but also trying to distinguish the different changes in the internal organs and bones of these corpses that died of different diseases with magic. ”
"Nice idea. Are they your apprentices, Mr. Sesi?" asked Lucien with some interest.
Secy shook his head: "I just brought these apprentices with me. Mr. Professor, I wonder if there is any similar research in the Magic Council of the Dao Continent?"
"......" Lucien almost slapped himself, how could he talk casually, "How do I know if there is a similar research in the Magic Council of the Dao Continent......"
But with the intention that the level of arcane research of the Continental Magic Council definitely surpassed that of this ancient magic inheritor, Lucien considered his tone and said concisely: "Go further. ”
The Fat Man, Red Wine and the other apprentices, as well as the other magicians who had gathered around, looked at Lucien with interest, hoping that he would say more.
"Indeed, as Mr. Professor said, the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council and the 'Pale Hand' organization have studied the human body very deeply, discovering many deadly diseases and corresponding physical changes, and inventing a variety of new magic, such as 'Cursed Pneumonia', which can make your opponent cough so violently that he can't perform magic. ”
Suddenly, Felipe's voice came from behind.
"Hello, Mr. Felipe. Some of the magicians and all the magic apprentices bowed their heads respectfully.
Felipe gave Lucien a complicated look, then turned to the others and said, "I have something to say."
Then, he walked over to the makeshift half-height wooden platform at the front of the hall and cleared his throat:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Felipe from the Pale Hand of the Continental's Magical Council headquarters, and I invite you to this death feast to discuss something with you. (To be continued.) )
