Chapter 13: Verification of the Church
Viscount Calendia looked at Lucian with a smile in his eyes, and the corners of his handsome and rigid mouth curled: "Mr. Professor, I don't feel wrong about the youthful vitality you have in your body. Hehe, since Mr. Douglas established the definition of arcane, the Magic Council is full of life and vitality like a young man, so it is really jealous that one young strong man after another can appear. β
Lucien looked at the handsome and masculine Viscount Calendia, and said secretly in his heart: "The legend of the vampire and the black mage is popular in the local area, and this person can feel the vitality of other people's lives, is he a vampire powerhouse?"
On the surface, Lucien replied with a calm smile, "Actually, I have not heard of Mr. Felipe and am looking forward to meeting with him, but I do have a lot to attend to, and I can only save this wonderful gathering for the feast." Felipe's attitude towards the "Professor" is hard to determine whether it is good or bad, and Lucien would rather go to the feast of death to determine the identity of Stucker's liaison from his words and promises to other magicians.
"It's a pity. Mr. Professor, this is your invitation. Viscount Calendia took the letter from Ned's butler.
The wording on the invitation was exactly the same as that of Hunter and the magic apprentice, except that the mark changed to a tall black top hat, and Lucien took it into his arms after looking at it casually, and then got up with a smile: "Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lord Viscount." I won't disturb your rest anymore, so I'll take my leave. β
"In fact, I'm just starting a fantastic day. Viscount Calendia cupped his forehead and said, "It would be a pity if you were willing to stay and communicate, Mr. Professor." It is inconvenient for me to keep you, and I wish you a smooth return under the light of the silver moon. β
Steward Ned led Lucien out of the castle and returned to the study, and said with a stern face a little puzzled, "Master, why did you want him to participate in the feast of death?
Viscount Calendia walked to the window and looked at the fantastic waters of the lake at night. "Of course you're sure, Steward Ned, didn't you see the ring that Mr. Professor was wearing on his left index finger? It was not recognizable, and the words engraved on it were deliberately concealed by Mr. Professor, but the unique seven-element alloy was only possessed by the Royal Magic Court of Holm and the 'Elemental Will', and this Mr. Professor seemed to represent the will of these two organizations. β
Ned Steward was even more surprised: "Master. So why did you want him to participate in the feast of death?' 'Elemental Will' and 'Pale Hand' are ......"
"Isn't that interesting, and he seems to have a bit of a familiar smell about him......" Viscount Calendia interrupted Ned's butler with a smile as he frowned slightly in confusion before his voice became serious. "Amorechuk, how do you feel about the unique magic that the professor just had?"
A dull, buzzing voice appeared out of thin air: "It's like sonic magic, relying on feedback to constantly adjust the frequency, and this frequency is so special that it makes me itch a little." β
............
Relying on Natasha's method of escaping from tracking, Lucien took half an hour longer than he had to return to Baron Habero's castle, and then used the magic "Dark Light" to successfully hide Simon's vigil and enter his bedroom.
One of the magic spells of "Dark Light" is to create a special dark area. Let those on the inside be able to see clearly what is outside, but those on the outside cannot see through the darkness.
Lying on the bed, Lucien put away the "Mo" ring and hid it, and then a small flame burst out of his fingertips to burn Hunt's invitation, and then waited quietly for half an hour. I found that no one was following me, so I hurried to sleep and recover.
The next day, just after breakfast, at the urging of Wise and Mars, the Adventurers team re-hit the road.
Lucien sat down next to the window of the car this time, and from time to time taught Betty how to be on guard and how to rush in regular knightly training. These methods come from John's narration and Natasha's occasional pointers.
The serious and boring knightly training was a little unbearable for the first contact with Betty, Joanna and Simon, but when they thought of the terrifying inhuman necromancer, and Mr. Efans's strong and enviable strength, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
It wasn't until late in the evening when they saw Wolf Town that the three adventurers stopped training.
Simon said to Lucien with a little melancholy, "When the church is repaid, the knight with many heroic deeds will become the embodiment of depravity, what a sad end." β
"Yes, but what makes me regret even more are the innocent deaths. Lucien is not familiar with the story of Baron Habero, and it is difficult to understand Simon and Joanna's feelings, but Baron Habero's pain and repentance for helpless aging before his death still made Lucien feel a lot, he must become a high-level magician as soon as possible while he is young, otherwise when he is old, his memory and spirit will decline, and he can only watch his skin dry up and watch wrinkles appear.
............
Three hours later.
In the confessional room of the church, Bishop Arnold of the Third Rank carefully checked the identification documents and supporting documents in his hand, and then smiled: "I am very surprised to think that the genius musician Mr. Lucien Evans is a powerful knight. β
He had already asked Lucien to play "PathΓ©tique" on the piano in the church, and he was impressed by the level that was completely beyond the level of ordinary musicians, and now that he had verified the documents, there was no longer any doubt.
Lucien shook his head: "I relied on the potion rewarded by Her Royal Highness the princess to stimulate the blood power, and I am only a quasi-knight, otherwise I would have been canonized as a lord long ago." β
"Hehe, if it weren't for this reason, what a glorious thing it would be for a genius musician to be mentioned along with a genius knight, there is no need to hide it at all. And this time, he was able to defeat the fallen Baron Habero and the necromancer, thanks to the extraordinary weapons and items given by Her Royal Highness the Princess. β
"The generosity of Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha makes everyone jealous. Arnold replied with a complicated gaze, two magic items, one magic item, and two transcendent weapons, which are completely comparable to Viscount Stanley's collection, and it seems that the news that the genius musician Lucien Evans is the secret lover of Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha of the Duchy of Vaorit is correct. He thought to himself, "I can't meet such a good thing for anything, it is rumored that Princess Natasha is still a stunning beauty." β
Three hours ago, after hearing the report of Lucien and others, the probationary priest of Wild Wolf Town was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly reported to the Cathedral of Corsercity with the birds that were urgently contacted in the church. Two hours later. Bishop Arnold flew over with two priests and four night watchmen with magic items, and then asked Lucien, Simon, and others separately to ask the night watchmen to Baron Habero's castle to investigate.
Just now. Lucien had already recounted what had happened in the castle several times, but Bishop Arnold had not heard any flaws, and had corroborated the records obtained from the interrogation of Simon, Betty, Joanna, and others.
In fact, he didn't have much suspicion after knowing Lucien's identity, if Lucien had a problem. He had already escaped into the mountains, so why bother to report to the church? As long as he found out how he killed Baron Habero and the necromancer, he could compile a report and send it to the cardinal in charge of the Principality of Djibouti.
Arnold's eyes were deep and he began to make the final verification: "Mr. Evans." Can you show me the items you used to kill the Fallen Lord and the Necromancer?"
"No problem. Lucien replied as if he didn't seem to care, holding out his left hand, "This is the ring that can shoot the Ice Blade, this is the bracelet that can use the Fire Shield and Fireball Technique." β
Both the Ice Avenger Ring and the Flameweaver Bracelet have been treated with a special dye plant by Lucien to keep the day changing so that the Church doesn't recognize the bracelet, and he also deliberately mistook the Sun Flame Protector for a flame shield.
Seeing that Lucien did not mean to take off the magic item. Arnold didn't force it, and after sensing whether the magical energy contained in it was as Lucien said with a belief fluctuation similar to spiritual power, he saw Lucien unbutton it, revealing the talisman on his chest, "Corona of the Sun." β
"This is the style of the early days of the War...... Arnold was more familiar with the Church than Lucien, "and only an ancient nobleman like the Violet family still retains similar items." β
Lucien was slightly stunned. Doubts about the relationship between Muskeline and the church resurfaced, but the current scene and timing were not suitable for probing the matter, so he could only suppress his doubts and take out the vigilant sword and the debilitating dagger: "One is the longsword given directly by the princess, and the other is the loot she obtained after killing a second-level dark knight." β
"Well, the obvious violet family decoration. Arnold heard Lucian's remarks, remembering that Natasha had become a knight, and the only bad thoughts he had completely settled, "I sense that the night watchmen have returned, and when I have checked with them, let you leave, Mr. Evans." β
After Arnold got up and walked out, Lucien closed his eyes and waited very calmly.
In less than ten minutes, Arnold walked back with a kind smile on his face: "Your report has been confirmed, Mr. Evans, but it's a pity that the necromancer's laboratory was burned by the fire ignited by your fireball technique, otherwise a lot of information can be found." β
"This is a reward from the Church and represents our respect. If it weren't for your heroic deeds, Mr. Evans, Grey Mist would have been shrouded in evil for a long time, and the Lord's church would have been completely defiled. Mr. Evans, you can get some help with this pin to every church. Alright, you can go back and rest. β
What Arnold handed to Lucien was a cross-shaped pin, not a true artifact, but something similar to an identity document artifact seal.
Lucien took the pin and thought it was ridiculous: "The church gives a reward to a magician, and a magician whose name is on the list of purification sequences?"
"Thanking" Arnold, Lucien walked out of the confessional and returned to the inn with the others.
............
Aalto, on the lowest floor of the monastery, in a dark and silent room devoid of any light or sound.
The door slowly opened, without making a sound, Camille slowly walked in, looking distressedly at Natasha, who was dressed in a black nun's robe, with a haggard face, and quietly kneeling in repentance.
The ascetic's tempering is to keep oneself in extreme silence and darkness, as if out of this worldly realm.
"Your Royal Highness, what is the matter with you asking people to find me?" Camille stood beside Natasha.
Natasha looked up sluggishly, then smiled, "I remembered something. Aunt Camille, did you bring pen and paper as I instructed?"
"Yes. Camille handed Natasha a pen and paper.
Natasha raised her hand and struggled to write something on the paper, and it took her a long time to finish writing: "Aunt Camille, bring it to Othello Councillor." β
............
Seven days later, in the afternoon, the city of Corser.
Wise, Mars, and Lucian, who had recovered from their panic, said goodbye to Lucien and the others: "We're going to the Musicians' Guild, Mr. Evans, you can come and visit at any time." β
Betty, who was much calmer, happily asked, "Then can I ask for tickets to your concert, Mr. Wise?"
Before Wise could reply, Lucien smiled and said, "It just so happens that I am also going to the Musicians Association, so why don't you ask Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars to lead the way." β
Lucien had long planned to use the Musicians' Guild's resources to send letters to John and Natasha. (To be continued.) )
