In the underground palace, Lucien, who was holding the "Frost" sword in both hands, dragged out the afterimage and ran wildly in the corridor, followed closely by Sophia, who had cast the "Acceleration Technique" on herself, but the speed of the two could not be fully developed, because they had to pause often to discern the direction, so as not to take the wrong path in the ever-changing labyrinth.

"You can't go through the front door, otherwise you'll step on the trap and trigger a terrifying magic array. After carefully identifying the nearby magic patterns and comparing them with the map, Sophia pointed to the end of the hallway.

Lucien, who had been parsed twice as fast as her, frowned and said, "Then what should we do? ”

Sophia sneered, and the previous panic and fear seemed to have completely disappeared: "Of course, it is bypassed, this is not a trial of the Magic Council, it is the mastery and cracking of the magic circle." Among the people who came in, apart from me, how many of them knew magic? They didn't rely on the information and maps they had gathered to slowly grope around, and when they encountered a dangerous circle, they would take a detour, or wait for time to pass and the location of the circle would change on its own. ”

"Detour or long wait?" Lucien felt like a seductive "professor" testing the schoolgirl's judgment through the ruins.

Sophia said without hesitation: "Detour, let's enter this room, it is connected to another corridor. ”

She pointed to the mahogany door a few steps away, her expression smug and her expression clearly possessing the pride of a spellcaster.

Full marks!

The Sun King's underground palace has a natural suppression effect, and Sophia is right next to it. Lucien is also not easy to unfold the mental force field.

The mahogany door was heavier than Lucien had imagined, almost as heavy as the heaviest metal, and as it slowly opened, a foul smell came over his face.

"Be careful!" Sophia snapped a reminder, and then saw "Borak" flash to the side with little time to react, as if she had been prepared.

She pointed her turquoise wand in her hand, and the wind howled and the stench quickly dissipated.

"Poison gas?" Lucien asked knowingly.

Sophia nodded solemnly: "Maybe someone passed by here and touched the magic array." You have to be careful. ”

She saw "Borak" clenching his dark blue sword. Flashed into the room with a knight's step.

In the room, the wardrobe, sofa, desk, etc. were either seriously damaged, or fell to the ground, as if after a fierce struggle.

And the doorway on the other side. Lying were two young aristocratic men. Their faces darkened. His hands were clenched like chicken claws, and there were puddles of filthy liquid at the corners of his mouth.

"Poisoned?" Lucien recognized them as the sons of nobles who followed Alten, one of whom had even sparked the bloodline.

A rapid exclamation came from behind Lucian. Sophia also saw the two corpses, and her expression was gloomy again: "They are Denis's cousins, and they died here unexpectedly." No matter how this event ends, you Plantagenet family will face great trouble, and the strength of so many noble families to unite cannot be underestimated, and you must pay a very large price to appease their anger. ”

"Damn the plotters, and the traitors to the clan who collaborated with him!" Lucien cursed like a member of the Orthodox Plantagenet, and slowly moved over to the two corpses, examining their scars to determine what had happened to them.

Huh, on the chest of one of the corpses, Lucien found a distinct dent, the size of which was not like that of a normal human!

With a movement in his heart, Lucien flipped to his side, and the sound of a wooden door shattering and a howling wind suddenly sounded behind him.

"Iron Golem!" Sophia shouted the word, reminding Lucian.

Lucien rolled away, slammed his elbow on the ground, bounced around, and saw a two-man tall golem made of steel. Two bits of red light flickered coldly in its eyes, and it swung down with a giant hammer in both hands.

Suppressing his urge to perform "infrasound resonance", Lucien walked briskly, sideways to avoid the front, and clenched "Frost" with both hands, slashing at the side of the giant hammer.

When, in the cacophony of metallic clash, the sledgehammer was deflected, and Lucian's hands were severely numb and trembling slightly.

What a terrifying amount of power!

The Iron Golem's strength surpassed that of ordinary Grand Knights, making Lucien wearing the ogre gauntlet a little overwhelmed!

The monster seemed completely unaffected, and the giant hammer spun around half a circle and struck Lucien at the waist.

Lucian's hands flickered with silver-white light, and a layer of cold blue flashed above the blade, and the hilt of the sword retracted, resisting the giant hammer.

The wind raged around him, and it suddenly solidified, turning into countless cyan blades and slashing at the steel golem, but only shallow scratches were left on the silver-white body.

Sophia, who has little combat experience, seems to have chosen the wrong magic the first time!

The unaffected Iron Golem wielded a sledgehammer and slammed into Lucian's "Frost" longsword, making a screeching noise.

Lucien hadn't fought hand-to-hand combat for a long time, and he still had to outwhelm his steel monsters, and the seemingly small room didn't leave him room to flicker and move, so he could only block with his sword, and according to the knightly skills taught by Natasha and John, he took a step back to relieve the huge pressure.

The Iron Golem's strength was comparable to that of a top-tier fifth-level knight, and Lucien was in danger of being left and right under its attacks.

The more difficult the situation, the more calm Lucien became, even if his hands were no longer trembling uncontrollably, he was still able to hold the long sword tightly and block the Iron Golem's attacks again and again.

The blue light flickered, and a layer of frost gradually rose on the Iron Golem's hammer and body, which could not damage it, but slowed its speed.

The slight change in the "stormy waves" was so obvious in Lucian's preoccupied mind that he immediately stepped forward, dodged the hammer, spat out, and swung his sword at the knee of the steel golem.

For the first time since the battle, Lucien struck the Iron Golem, and a layer of solidified ice crystals appeared at its knee.

Although with the force of the Iron Golem. The ice crystal shattered instantly, but it caused a brief stagnation, and Lucien seized the opportunity to slash the knee joint on the other side again.

The wind howled, and wisps of cyan wind condensed into ropes, wrapping around the Iron Golem's knees, elbows, wrists, neck, and other places, making it move more and more slowly.

Lucien's attack seems to have inspired Sophia to work effectively!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lucien unleashed a stormy attack in front of the steel golem with firm and nimble steps, swinging a sword with a sword. Dodge again and again. The sound of dangdang is endless, and the blood of the body is boiling.

The Iron Golem's eyes flashed red, its iron jaws opened, and a stream of yellow-green gas erupted.

Lucien was about to dodge. The gas was blown away by a sudden hurricane. Drifting behind the Iron Golem.

"Dispel the smoke". Sophia reacted "miraculously" and chose the right magic.

Lucien kicked his foot and lunged forward. Dodging the falling sledgehammer, the sword struck the knee again, making the Iron Golem's movements rust.

However, the fourth-level long sword could only leave a small trace on the Iron Golem's body, and so many swords could not destroy its knee joints, but Lucien was almost swept by the giant hammer several times. If it weren't for the special effect of "Frost" Slow, Lucien would have failed without magic.

At this moment, Lucien suddenly felt a strong suction force coming from the opposite side, and finally stabilized the "Frost" long sword, and the steel golem was even more unbearable, and it was even more difficult to move forward by the invisible force.

Ten seconds later, there was a subtle metallic twisting sound in the steel golem's body, and the red light in his eyes quickly extinguished, and it fell to the ground with a bang, like a mountain peak.

Sophia seems to have finally remembered that the best magic to deal with steel monsters is the "strong magnetic field" type, so she cast the five rings of natural magic "strong magnetic shock".

"Luckily, this is the Sun King's palace, not the Storm Master's palace, otherwise it would have to hold on for a while. Lucien sighed to himself. The latest model of the Magic Council's Iron Golem has been able to maintain its combat power for several minutes within the range of the strong magnetic field, which is enough time to kill most mid-level mages and grand knights.

While thinking, Lucien gasped violently, since becoming an official magician, he had never engaged in such a terrifying hand-to-hand combat. Under the incredible power of the Iron Golem, every second is at stake, and several times it has to perform "Professor's Infrasound Resonance" regardless of the consequences.

However, after this battle, Lucian only felt that his qi and blood were smooth, and his blood was roaring, although he was sweating, his hands were trembling, and he was tired, but he was extremely comfortable.

This is faithful feedback from the body!

"You have to keep exercising in the future, you can't waste your body......" Lucien suddenly had a strange thought.

Seeing that "Borak" gasped and didn't speak, Sophia said timidly and blushingly: "I, I didn't mean to, the first time I met the Steel Golem, I forgot all the knowledge I usually learned, and I remembered it later, you didn't have anything to do, right?"

"It's okay, the first battle is like this, Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't have to mind. With the blood rushing, Lucien only felt that his strength had recovered extremely quickly, but his mind was thinking about unrelated questions. Sophia is said to be the bloodline of the "Angel of the Wind", but she can cast strong magnetic field magic, could it be that the power of the wind in this world really represents electromagnetic force?

In Lucien's understanding, among the four elements redefined by the Magic Council, the wind element represents the electromagnetic force, and even most arcanists think so, and they also regard the earth element as gravitational force relatively uniformly, except for the fire element and the water element, and there has been no accepted basic force explanation.

"It's good to have you as my guardian knight in the first brutal battle. Sophia said with a soft and moving gaze.

"It's my pleasure. Lucien replied "excitedly".

Sophia nodded briskly: "Then let's take a break and move on." ”

When she used her magic to check the passage in front of her, Lucien lowered her eyes, shook her head and said secretly, "She was testing my strength and hole cards just now?"

Unless you're really scared silly, or no one teaches you what spell casting concentration is, there can't be such a long interval between several spells! As a knight, "Borak" is really not clear, but Lucien, as a high-level magician, is an "expert professor", in more than a minute of hand-to-hand combat, Sophia actually only cast four spells, deducting the buffer, she has plenty of time to re-enter the state of casting focus, even if she can't think of the right magic, she will try to cast it a few times.

Regaining their strength, Lucien and Sophia continued on their way.

After bypassing the room with the dangerous magic array, the two of them abruptly entered one hall directly from the other.

And in this hall, more than a dozen nobles have gathered!

Ralph and Claire each had two or three companions entrenched in a corner, facing Alten and the others from a distance, with several bloody corpses lying in the center.

They all had panicked and gnashed teeth on their faces, as if they were frightened by the real tragedy of death.

Judging from their numbers, Lucien could tell that most of the nobles' children had either not yet arrived, or had been frightened into scurrying around like headless flies, looking for unoccupied corners like Duda, waiting for the nightmare to pass. And the rest of these people, who can suppress the panic and gather together to protect themselves, has already shown that they are the elite of the nobles, if they can get out alive and then go to the northern provinces to experience the tempering of the war, they will not be able to become the backbone of the nobles in the future.

"It's you, Borak, it must be you who have changed the magic array and want to kill us all here!" Alten saw Lucien and Sophia enter, and immediately shouted with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, with uncontrollable hatred and hatred.

"Her Royal Highness is the only one of us who is a spellcaster and has the ability to change the magic array, and she supports you!"

"Claire, Ralph, let's forget about the previous battle and stalemate, and join forces to kill this despicable villain!"

The accusations aroused strong suspicion and anger among the frightened nobles. (To be continued......)

PS: Tomorrow's first shift will be at half past twelve at noon. It's late, for the sake of not breaking the change, ask for a monthly pass~
