After leaving behind the "traitor's end", Lucien and the Sage quickly left the Morning Star's house and melted into the darkness so as not to be blocked by the church.

In fact, the Inquisition, who has experienced it once, is no longer unfamiliar with and aware of the Professor's style of acting, so they have suspected whether the Professor has deliberately appeared in the magic circle, so that the spies they have planted will be exposed, and a fire wolf incident will be repeated, and even the Inquisition has planned to use several spies as bait to set traps - the news of the headquarters of the Magic Council and the Professor's reappearance will be circulated to other magic circles through mercury and so on, and those circles also have spies and pass similar information to the Night's Watch.

However, the Inquisition did not expect the professor to lock on to Morning Star for the first time, and he acted decisively in just half an hour after he secretly transmitted the information, apparently monitoring him, and on the other hand, the exposure of the sage's identity and the Joker's actions made the person in charge of the Inquisition believe that the object of the professor's trap was the Clown, the pursuing Night Watch, so the center of gravity shifted, and he didn't have time to set the trap, but only arranged two ordinary night watchmen to secretly protect and guard, which was easily concealed by Lucien and killed the Morning Star.

Lucien and the Sage made a stealthy turn in the darkness, through several blocks, to a secret hiding place that the Sage had set up a few years earlier.

"Mr. Professor, I didn't expect you to be very proficient in necromancy in addition to being good at astrology and elementals. The sage, who was not really relieved until this time, sighed, his body had not yet reached the level of a quasi-knight, and his tone was very weak after losing too much blood.

When he witnessed Lucien use the necromantic magic array cultivated by his human body to mix one-third of his blood with the corpses collected in the Black Forest, such as stumps and broken legs, into a body that was no different from a real person, the sage was shocked from the bottom of his heart. This is completely touching the realm of the true god, which makes him more and more fascinated by the magic and mystery of magic as he gets older, and strengthens his determination to go to the magic council.

Lucien still pretended to have a hoarse voice, and said with a slight smile: "It's still far from mastery, but I started to make up for the weakness in this area more than a year ago, but the council's research on human refining has made great progress, for example, the results of cellular memory that I used can give full play to the effect of your blood, and judging from the current divine effect of the church in similar aspects, it is absolutely impossible to distinguish whether it is a fake corpse, unless which cardinal checks it with a divine skill of level 9 or above such as asking 'gods' and backtracking scenes." ”

More than a year of research. Plus a solid foundation in arcane and magic. Lucien, who is already a magician of the Four Rings, is no worse than Hunter, who was refining the human body back then, in necromancy, and thanks to the advancement of arcane and magic, the refining of the human body is closer to reality.

"It's still far from mastery, but what about true mastery of necromancy?" the sage couldn't help but ask in surprise even though he was weak. Then he thought of something: "Felipe Canero, who suddenly rose from the bottom of the purification sequence to the ninety-first more than two years ago, is a necromancer. And when the ranking went up, it was only the fifth ring. Later, he was promoted to the highest rank. Mr. Professor, are you referring to his level of mastery?"

As the "former" consul of the Aalto Town Hall, Viscount Klein the Sage was qualified to know the purification sequence in detail.

"When it comes to necromancy, I have to admit that he is very proficient. "Lucien's relationship with Felipe is no longer strained. Nor did he belittle him at will, he was indeed a rare genius in necromancy. Moreover, Felipe is already a high-level, even if many young magicians within the Magic Council compare themselves to him, they are still very aware of the current gap between the two.

The promotion of magic is more and more difficult the further you go, especially in a few passes, when you reach the high level of the five rings, you have already begun to need the assistance of magic rituals, and there is not enough arcane and magic accumulation, and the failure rate is extremely high.

Then, Lucien changed the subject: "Sage, I'm sorry to involve you in this matter without going into details, and it is unknown whether the Joker will actually kill you, or whether the distance between the Night's Watch and him will be enough for me to rescue you, which puts you in great danger." I apologize for this. ”

Fearing that the Joker would be able to ask for some details after taking control, Lucien didn't mention the trap to the Sage at all, only hinting that he would be in great danger tonight and that he would save him.

"It's okay, Mr. Professor, I've always believed in your wisdom, and if you want to escape from this dark and oppressive life and embark on a new path in life, how can you not pay a little price?" Besides, I'm sure you must have had something else in place at the time, Mr. Professor, so that I wouldn't really die. ”

Lucien nodded slightly, Camille was indeed nearby at the time: "No matter what, it is not a good thing to put you in great danger, and the items you get from the morning star will be left to you as compensation for the sage." Don't refuse, this is my principle of life. Well, you take a break after taking the potion, and then leave Aalto as soon as possible. ”

"Very good, Mr. Professor. I feel a lot lighter now. "After the sage became an official magician, the pressure was increasing, the status of the consul and the status of the viscount not only could not bring him glory and enjoyment, but made him feel an indescribable panic, coupled with his age, he had long had the idea of leaving everything behind to find the mysteries of magic, anyway, the family already had a successor, so this fake death helped him to relieve himself in a sense.

............

In the Latasha Palace, Natasha, whose expression was gloomy and indifferent, symbolically hugged Grand Duke Vaorit, who rushed to hear the news, and comforted him: "Father, don't worry about me, I will recover soon." I think this is the Lord's test for me, and my mother will look at me lovingly from the heavenly mountain, so I will live well, live happily, and live for you. ”

"Poor little Natasha, I believe in your tenacity. But don't hold yourself back too much. The Grand Duke of Vaorit touched her hair with pity, this child must be very sad, she forgot that her mother was a magician, how could her soul go to Heavenly Mountain?

However, to the relief of the Grand Duke, at least his daughter's love affair with Lucien Evans shows that she does not only like girls, but at most has not had the opportunity to fall in love with men before, so don't push her too much in the future, lest she develop in the opposite direction.

"Father. Allow myself to be quiet for a moment tonight. Natasha looked up. "Hard" smiled, it was really not very good in his heart, no one wants to deceive his beloved relatives, but his last relationship was too hurt. And so far. The feeling for women is better than that of men. So it's best to have a longer period of quiet and discerning your heart.

Grand Duke Vaorit nodded and touched her hair again: "Natasha, I'm sure you can come out." ”

Natasha returned to the "War Gallery" with Camille and several guards. Grand Duke Vaorit's face changed suddenly: "After she is not hit, neither women nor men will like it, right?"

In the War Gallery, Camille sat quietly on the sofa, while Natasha was in a little uncomfortable and vented on the piano, and the passionate and pathetic melody echoed repeatedly.

"It's the best 'Pathétique' I've ever heard you play, but can you stop and tell me what happened in the villa, and if the clowns and the night watchmen noticed anything?" said one of the guards standing by the piano without leaving the room, and teasing Natasha in a familiar tone, trying to make her feel better.

Natasha stopped her fingers, took a deep breath, and regained her composure: "Lucien, your puppet is well refined, they didn't find a problem. ”

The guard was Lucien in disguise, and after saying goodbye to the sage, he quietly joined Camille and infiltrated the Latasian Palace under the cover of her and Natasha, hiding in this seemingly dangerous place.

"I'm confident in the doll that used a quarter of my blood, and I care about how you behave, Natasha, and if you suddenly lose your smile while you're grieving and saying 'love words,' things are completely messed up. Lucien understood that Natasha was in a bad mood because she was cheating on the Grand Duke, so he made a joke.

Natasha snorted, "Am I so uncontrollable that person? I think I could have done opera at that time! But that kind of role is a bit unsuitable for me, I should be like this......"

Before she finished speaking, Natasha shook her body and appeared directly in front of Lucian, then pressed her right hand to her chest, buried her head slightly, looked at Lucian's eyes very closely, and said with a man's gesture "affectionately":

"Whenever you see the moonlight, you think of me. ”

Eyes staring, breathing can be heard, I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Lucien and Natasha, who are usually used to making similar jokes, are a little uncomfortable after seeing each other's beautiful and deep pupils.

Natasha laughed dryly and stepped back, and Lucien took the opportunity to take a step to the side.

"By the way, Lucian, why don't you let me kill the clown with a sword, but let him run away with serious injuries and dying? Natasha does have a little admiration for the Joker's perseverance in eliminating evil, but in the face of unruly crazy people, admiration can't change her position, what if one day the Joker kidnaps Joel and other ordinary people in order to eliminate the evil? So, for the Joker, Natasha is determined to kill, if it weren't for Lucien's repeated advice, she who was not in "anger" at that time, would not have been able to cut a little bit with a sword.

Lucien smiled slightly mysteriously, "I'm waiting for him to appear." ”

"He?" asked Natasha, confused.

Lucien laughed and said vaguely: "Although I haven't met him this time, I think I can guess what he thinks, and this matter is going smoothly thanks to his 'help'." ”

"Can't you reveal it?" Natasha didn't have the idea of telling someone else's secret.

Lucien shook his head, "You'd better not know the truth, but I'll tell you a result." ”

"Where did you find out the results?" Natasha felt more and more mysterious about Lucien's methods after returning from the Magic Council.

Lucien smiled but didn't say a word.

............

After arranging for Lucien to hide in a vacant room in the War Gallery, Natasha leaned back in her chair with a somewhat somber expression and looked at the silver moon outside the window.

Although he and Lucien are good friends, in this case, the faint estrangement between a magician and a nobleman who believes in the true god cannot be deceivingly revealed.

Camille, who didn't know when he was gone, pushed open the door and walked in slowly.

"Aunt Camille, what's new out there?" asked Natasha without turning her head.

Camille's serious face showed a bit of eccentricity: "The professor reappeared, leaving behind the 'traitor's end', so the night watchmen judged that it was the great musician he killed, and then designed to frame the clown." Of course, the Joker's previous actions against the agreement between the church and the nobility should also be put to death. ”

Stunned, Natasha's expression softened. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
