Chapter Seventy-Three: Strange Changes (Part 3)
Lucien, who was dressed in silver-gray armor and wore metal gloves on both hands, flashed a layer of cold luster under the illumination of the "Immortal Flame" of the underground palace, and in the eyes of Andris, he was like the most terrifying demon in the world, he still hadn't figured out what had just happened, why would he be suddenly defeated, and how could the official knight armor given by the family not even block a sword!
And Jocelyn and other noble children are like seeing an opera that promotes the Northern Church and various cults at the Theater of St. Solan in Antiville, and completely subconsciously refuses to believe that how can Borak, who was a high-ranking knight's squire more than a month ago, be so unimaginably powerful?
Not long after she was promoted to the rank of knight, Jocelyn thought that with the two third-level divine daggers given by her father, a set of fourth-level perfect rosescale armor, and other magic items such as necklaces, talismans, belts, boots, and gloves, she couldn't hold the fiercely swung two-handed giant sword with one hand as easily as Borak did just now.
"There must be an extraordinary item on him that can increase the strength of the Great Knight to the fifth level, the long sword that exudes a heavy chill is at least the third level, and he definitely stimulates the blood power of the bloodline, the knight level is even higher than me! It is so well hidden!" Jocelyn thought in shock, a wave of shame and humiliation welled up in her heart, Borak had activated the bloodline at least a year ago, otherwise it would not have been possible to be promoted to the second level so quickly, and he actually hid it from me?
Even if "Borak" can put together a full set of knight equipment that improves strength, agility, balance, constitution, will, and recovery speed, the knight's experience and knight's combat reaction cannot be simulated by extraordinary items, from the ease of his accurate grip of the two-handed greatsword. Jocelyn could clearly tell that he had activated the power of the bloodline and was a true knight.
Jocelyn couldn't help but sigh with envy: "Uncle Beckman is worthy of being the youngest son who was favored by the late old duke, and the items on Borak's body are far better than mine. ”
She was born noble, her father was a high-ranking nobleman in the empire, her family controlled a lot of territory, and she had wealth that ordinary nobles could not reach, and after years of accumulation, it was not uncommon for mid-level transcendent items to be attained. But it's only not uncommon, and since there is no caster, it is not possible to craft items on your own. The variety of equipment is very monotonous. For example, she is obviously good at dual swords, but there are only fifth-level giant swords and war hammers in the family treasury and the marquis's private collection, and it is not easy to come up with a pair of third-level divine daggers, and there is no equipment that can greatly exert power.
Comparatively. The Plantagenet family, which inherits the lineage of the Sun King Thanos, often has bloodline warlocks. Plus hidden magic books, alchemy manuals, etc. The types of mid- and low-level transcendent items are almost comparable to those of the royal family.
In fact, she didn't know that after Beckman's death, the transcendent items around her mysteriously disappeared. Otherwise, how could Borak be so frustrated.
"The Devil ......"
"He's become a knight?"
"Run!"
A series of exclamations came from her side, and Jocelyn was "pulled" out of her spiritual realm, and then saw several noble children around her who had not yet activated their blood power fleeing in a panic, and none of them dared to save Andris.
They jumped up and down like roosters and wild dogs, and compared with the "Borak" in the corridor, which was as steady as a mountain, Joceline felt a strong disgust from the bottom of her heart, a bunch of cowards, waste!
Confident that Borak would not hurt herself, Jocelyn feared that he would do something "uncontrollable" so that Alten would see it, so the two daggers with holy light crossed each other, and methodically retreated through the other door, and as she "expected", Borak did not pursue.
"When I was so dangerous and nervous just now, I was thinking about Borack's equipment and lamenting the abundance of the Plantagenet family's extraordinary items. If it weren't for him, things would have become very dangerous, hey, this is the disadvantage of not having experienced real combat, and thinking cranky when you shouldn't be thinking!" After retreating to another corridor, Jocelyn reflected deeply on herself, but she was also inspired by her own strength, "But Borak still has such a charming side?"
Without pursuit, seeing the nobles' sons flee and let Andris tremble on his knees, Lucien had no interest in defeating them, and the more people and the more chaotic they were, the more helpful it would be for his actions.
"Who!" the Frost Sword jerked up, and Lucien looked "warily" into the corner.
Crisp applause rang out, and a figure of Miaoman, wearing close-fitting milky white armor, stood up and proudly held up: "The princess who needs the knight's protection." ”
This is none other than Sophia, who held the emerald wand and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have successfully activated your blood power and become a real knight." Will you protect me, poor princess, dear knight, you are so handsome in your grip on the greatsword!"
said that she didn't expect it, but there was no surprise in her tone.
"I've always been a knight to the princess. Lucien saluted meaningfully, but no matter how clever Sophia was, she couldn't guess what he really thought.
Nodding with satisfaction, Sophia looked at the naked Andris with curiosity and shyness: "The control of your sword is so good, I thought you would cut through all the protruding parts of his body, oops, it's ugly." His left hand, which was not holding a magic wand, was raised and covered his eyes, but between his fingers he could clearly see the flickering green.
Seeing her appearance by Her Royal Highness the "goddess" princess in her heart, and being ridiculed by her ignorantly, Andris was really blushing and wanted to die.
"Let's go, Your Highness Princess, we need to hurry. Lucien always felt that Sophia knew something about the underground palace, so he simply asked her to follow so that she could observe "secretly".
As soon as she and Bayer entered, Lucien had a premonition that things were going to take a strange turn - a hunch of a high-level astrologer who had not yet achieved much in astrological magic.
Sophia retracted her gaze and walked to Lucien's side with a burst of fragrance: "Well, I'm here to study the changes in the underground palace, dear knight, remember to protect me!"
It wasn't until Lucien and Sophia left that Andris, who had buried his face in the ground, raised his head. His face turned red, and he was really aggrieved and ashamed just now! And the attitude of "Borak" in completely forgetting him and not sending him out of the underground palace with serious injuries made him deeply indignant and completely despised by others.
"Hahaha, Andris, what are you doing on your knees with your ass pouted? Hahahahaha
Andris jumped up like a girl, and when she looked back, several of her companions who had escaped just now had sneaked back quietly.
"Hahaha, you're like this. If only it had been seen by Joceline. What do you think we're wrong with you!" a noble kid let out a gloating laugh.
"Andris, don't you boast that you are the strongest of the high-ranking knight squires? And you have official knight armor! Why can't you even stop Brack's sword?? And 'undress' and kneel in front of him?" The aristocratic young man who usually did not get along with Andris laughed at him wantonly.
"By the way, why didn't Borak injure you and teleport you out of the underground palace?" said another nobleman, who had experienced a different kind ......of pleasure.
This group has not undergone rigorous training. The aristocratic young man who likes a luxurious and hedonistic life has no scruples about Andris's mood, venting his emotions after the extreme fear just now.
Andris clenched his fists tightly. The ridicule of his companions hit him like arrows to his heart. The blood vessels in his forehead bulged and swelled, and his eyes were blurred.
"These damn bastards!"
"You left me and ran away just now!"
"They still laugh at me, and they think of me as that kind of person!"
"I actually made such a big ugliness in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
......
Emotions such as shame, anger, hatred, and hatred hit Andris's pupils with a burst of blood red. There seemed to be a phantom sound in my ears.
"Andris, are you okay?" Joceline's concerned voice suddenly sounded, and Andris couldn't help but shed two tears, but the emotions in his heart did not weaken in the slightest.
............
Lucien, who had already turned a few corridors and passed through three gates, suddenly felt a move in his heart and looked back at the place he had just come.
"Borak, what's wrong?" asked Sophia, who had carefully studied the layout of the palace, noticing Lucien's anomaly.
Lucien retracted his gaze and shook his head with a slight frown: "It's nothing, maybe someone was following us behind us just now." ”
"But my vigilance spell doesn't have a sense. Sophia shook her head in disbelief.
"Maybe it's from afar. Of course, Lucien would not tell Sophia that just now he felt an indescribable change in the magic array that shrouded the underground palace, and at the same time, a strange sense of familiarity pervaded, but it disappeared in an instant. These weirdness, without the spiritual power of a high-level magician and a preliminary understanding of the magic array, are absolutely impossible to discover.
"The remnants of the legendary magician are full of all kinds of strange changes...... "Lucien clenched his sword, reminiscing about the strange familiarity just now, and then tried to parse the possible changes in the magic circle.
Sophia didn't ask any more questions, and walked beside Lucien with her magic wand, pointing in the direction from time to time.
"The path she's pointing to is all right?" Lucien kept watching coldly. As a bloodline warlock, Sophia also has an extremely good ability to analyze magic arrays?
On the rest of the way, Sophia teased Lucien from time to time, revealing her liveliness and simplicity.
"Wait a minute!" Lucien raised his left hand, blocking Sophia.
Sophia Sakura pursed her lips: "Is there a situation?"
"I smell blood. Lucien replied earnestly.
Sophia was suddenly a little excited: "Could it be that someone in front of me has just finished the battle, I want to let them see my fireball technique!"
"Be careful. Lucien gripped his sword in both hands again and pushed open the door to the aisle ahead.
The metal door was opened, and the smell of blood came to his face, and Lucien saw a dark figure kneeling on the ground, and in front of him lay a man in black armor, and blood flowed from under the man's body
Hearing the footsteps of someone coming in, the black shadow trembled all over his body and turned around sharply, it was actually Duda who was panicked.
And his turn also completely exposed the man lying in front of him, there was a hideous and extremely deep wound on his neck, almost cutting off the cervical vertebrae, the flesh and blood were blurred, and his breathing had stopped!
"He's dead?" Sophia's long voice brought a thick disbelief.
Lucien recognizes the male corpse as Ralph's aristocratic friend, and he is dead?!
"I, I didn't mean to......" Duda's face turned pale and his eyes glazed over. (To be continued......)
