The sweltering night, filled with oppressive atmosphere, waits for a rainstorm to come.

Lucien chose a completely different path than the last time, and it took him more than ten minutes to walk near the abandoned house with a tall willow tree in front of the door.

However, Lucien did not go out directly, but secretly observed, in the shadow of the willow tree, there were three guys standing in black robes, whose faces were covered by hoods, judging by their height and size, one of them was Smail, one was a sage, and one Lucien was not sure which magic apprentice he had seen last time.

Walking around the nearby shadows, Lucien didn't notice the ambush, but he didn't relax because of it, and after returning to the original hiding position, he accurately took out a black, strange-shaped spell casting material from the row of small pockets lining his belt.

Then Lucien opened his mouth, as if to recite the incantation, but no sound came out, only the spellcasting material in his palm began to vibrate rapidly, faster and faster, and waves of invisible fluctuations spread out from inside it.

"The Scream of the Bat", Lucien's first magic of his own.

It is modeled on the principle of "probing" by bats using ultrasound, which is a biological version of radar, using ultrasound with the apprentice-level magic of "detecting magic aura", as well as psychic power to check if there are people hiding around.

When Lucien learned to "detect magic aura", he knew that magic apprentices and formal magicians have a lot of magic methods to hide their magic aura, but below the six rings, all methods of covering up magic auras require that there is no buff form and defensive magic at work at the same time, unless it is a constant magic effect, so under normal circumstances, after releasing the magic that covers their own aura, there is no cracking of other detection methods, so "bat scream" is very useful.

Of course, magicians with strange means, if they know in advance that there is a magic called "bat scream", there is still a way to dodge it, at least Lucien knows that the magic can be virtual and spiritual, and then cast magic that covers his own aura, so in the battle of magicians, the reasonable choice of magic is also a large part of their own strength.

If it weren't for the apprentice-level magic, there was very little magic related to light, and Lucien even wanted to construct an infrared type of magic that could detect heat, after all, one more kind of detection magic would be safer.

Bursts of ultrasonic waves spread like water waves centered on the black spell casting material in Lucian's hand, and whenever they encountered an obstacle, that part of the wave returned to the black irregular spherical material, so that Lucian's mental power concentrated on it gradually appeared in his mind, and the surrounding scene gradually appeared, even in the dark night, it was as clear as day.

[With me as the center, within a radius of one hundred meters, there are only some mice without magical aura that cannot be inspected except in the house. Lucien judged the effect of the reconnaissance, and at the same time regretted that he did not create infrared magic, otherwise it could have been seen in the house, [Wait, there is an owl in that tree, well, it's Doro, on that tree over there...... There's a crow, hey, crow. 】

After seeing that it was this crow, Lucian relaxed a lot, from the last experience, the owner of this crow should be more suspicious, no absolute certainty will not do it, and during this time, he has not made any moves, has not been in contact with anyone, and has certainly not exposed any information, it seems that he still wants to test and observe himself.

Ending the "Bat Scream" magic, the black magic material in Lucian's hand turned into a pile of fine yarn as if it had dried and slowly fell to the ground between his fingers.

This is the "pituitary gland of bats", and Lucian's own mental power is not yet able to support more than a certain level of ultrasound, so he can only rely on the organs of the bat, the casting material, to complete the entire magic.

Just as Lucien was about to continue to observe for a while, and when there were no other anomalies, he went out to meet with Smail and the sage, when another magic apprentice suddenly voiced: "Dear Mr. Professor, I think you should have already arrived nearby, and if you don't want to come out, you may have seen me." In fact, it was my teacher who discovered the traces of the evil creature this time, and he expressed his kindness to you, hoping to communicate with such a knowledgeable magician as you. ”

The deliberate change could not hide the special husky sexiness of her voice, she was the magic apprentice "White Honey".

Hearing her words, Lucien judged for a moment, stepped out of the shadows at the back of the house, as if protruding from the darkness, and walked slowly under the willow tree: "Thank you to your teacher, although I know that there are a pair of eyes on us from that tree, but I still hope to thank him formally through you." ”

"Mr. Professor, how do you know what to do?!" White Honey was so surprised that she almost forgot to change her voice, she looked sideways at the tree, but in the thick darkness, she couldn't see anything, [how could he find Ashley? 】

For this professor, white honey felt even more mysterious and weird.

The crow almost fell from a branch as if struck by lightning, but fortunately it spread its wings in time and circled around in the other direction.

The sage and Smyer also didn't expect that they would be followed and stared at by the magic pets of other magicians, and they couldn't help but tremble, if it was a malicious magician, the two of them would be in danger, they looked at the white honey, and there was anger in their cold voices: "You need an explanation." ”

White Honey had a very good attitude and sincerely apologized: "I'm very sorry to hide from you, you can get a gift, the teacher just wants to meet Mr. Professor, if he is in danger when he catches evil creatures, the teacher can also help through Ashley, but now Ashley has left." ”

As for observing the strength of the mysterious magician "The Professor", she did not say it, but everyone present understood.

For a formal magician, after the sage and Smail expressed their attitude with anger, in fact, there is not much to do, the gap between the strength and the amount of power is too big, if for this matter, kill the white honey, maybe the crow will fly back immediately and kill himself, so after seeing the white honey apologize and promise to apologize, both of them nodded: "I hope there will be no more such things in the future, this is Alto, if this kind of thing happens, it will make your teacher considered a spy of the church, and he will become all magicians, Enemies of the Magic Apprentice. Last time, the witch and Mr. Magician from the headquarters of the Magic Council were ambushed by the church, and many magicians and magic apprentices suspected that there were spies inside. ”

Lucien had already walked up to them, his hoarse voice like a rusty iron sword: "Can you tell me where the evil creature is." ”

"In the old house of Baron Laurent in the aristocratic district, their family has not stimulated blood power for three consecutive generations, and cannot hold important positions in the principality, it has declined, and there are very few servants in the whole old house, it is very deserted, some time ago when Ashley flew by at night, it heard a noise inside, out of curiosity, it flew down to take a look, and found that it was a ** party, full of men and women who had sex, and there was someone on the small altar in the middle trying to collect this amount of power, and that person was Baron Laurent. From him, Ashley smelled a little evil creature. Bai Honey explained the discovery of the matter more clearly, because she was worried that Mr. Professor would misunderstand:

After some observation, the teacher was sure that they were going to meet again tonight, and that it was time for the sacrifice. ”

The sage nodded, and the old voice carried a lot of emotion: "Many of these nobles, when there are no knights for several generations, and they can't get holy water from the church, will look for various ways to stimulate the blood power, even if they know that they are tempted by devils and demons, they will take risks and try. "He seems to have seen quite a few of these things.

To be able to become a nobleman, whether it is a title or a territory, it is hereditary, unless it violates the first ten articles of the sacred law, it will be deprived of the title and territory by its own lord, but if no one stimulates the blood power for several generations, it means that the family has begun to decline, and it will be clear, Secretly swallowing the territory by various means, to the end of the last only one title left, become a bankrupt noble, and such a noble, in a few more generations, even if not deprived, the glory will be forgotten, and when it comes to the worst, it is no different from the commoners.

Lucien also has his own judgment on what happened, and thinks that the "Silver Horn" cult has begun to move again after nearly two months of silence: "Do you know the strength of that evil creature in the Dao? and how to get to the noble area?"

The noble quarter was surrounded by the inner city walls, and at this time, the city gates were long closed, and it was possible for the soldiers to open them unless it was the nobles who lived inside.

"Judging from the specifications of the altar, the teacher should be a low-level devil at the level of an ordinary knight, but as long as it is destroyed before the sacrifice is completed, it will only be projected at the level of a high-level knight squire. Bai Honey didn't think that this matter was dangerous, but he and the sage and the others were sure to eliminate the devil projection of this strength, and Mr. Professor was powerful, and he didn't know that Lu Dao was a formal magician of several rings.

And the sage followed: "White Honey didn't know how to contact the owl, so through me, I happened to know that there is a secret passage in the road that can enter the noble area at night, so I followed along and led the way for you, Mr. Professor." With your guidance last time, my spell model has almost been analyzed, and if Mr. Professor allows, I want to do it for you, an enemy of this level doesn't need your hand yet. ”

For Mr. Professor, the sage is very grateful, and when the teacher who knows the white honey is still doubting the strength of the professor, and wants to observe through this matter, he suddenly has a little fear, afraid that the powerful image of Mr. Professor in his mind will be shattered, and he is afraid that the professor will be killed by the teacher of the white honey because of his strength, so that he will have no one to ask for advice in the future, so under the action of the two emotions, he proposed slightly impulsively.

Lucien was worried that involving the "Silver Horn" cult would make this matter uncertain, the stronger his side was, the safer, and the sage was likely to have a magic item similar to the "Ice and Snow Avenger", so after pondering for a while, he nodded: "When the matter is over, you can ask me a question." ”

As long as you get the resentful spirit dust and get rid of other people smoothly, you will disappear in the magic circle for a while, so you don't have to worry about the fact that your strength is seen through and your powerful image collapses.

"Can I help you?" Mr. Professor. On the one hand, the white honey is to make up for the faux pas just now, and on the other hand, Ashley, the crow, has flown away, and the matter of observing the professor's strength has fallen on her.

Of course, Lucien agreed, how could he not want the hostages sent to the door.

Smyer thought about it for a long time, because he was able to contact Mr. Professor, his status in the circle has obviously improved, if he is robbed by the sage and white honey, then he who has lost the relationship between the witch and the professor in a row, and his strength is relatively poor in the circle, is likely to become more and more marginalized in the future, which is not conducive to the progress of his strength, so he also begged to go.

Then, under the leadership of the sage, Lucien and the others walked in the direction of the noble district.
