"Who are you?" Sandra tried to soften her voice, trying to use her feminine affinity to calm the little boy and not be so frightened, but she forgot that she was good at fighting, and even if she tried to squeeze out a soothing smile, her fierce and neat temperament could not be concealed. The little boy shook his head, crawled all fours to the corner of the secret room, screaming and screaming, and buried his head deep there, as if the eyes did not see, and the thing did not exist.

Lucien didn't rush them to the restraint room, because the strange devil was too weird, and there was a question mark over whether or not he would die at the end, so since a new survivor had been found, he had to ask carefully.

Turning his gaze to Sandra, Lucien's chin was raised, pointing to Susan, who was restrained by Charlotte with "Douglas's huge palm": "Calm her with potions, and let her talk to the little boy." ”

As a female magician with rich combat experience, Sandra's delicate qualities are vividly displayed in this regard. Her storage bag and the hidden pockets of her magic robe contained potions that could be used in various situations—even if a large part of them would not be used for a few years, and calming potions were common, so she nodded, took out a tube of clear light blue liquid, and poured it directly into Susan with the mage's hand.

However, she herself wants to directly use sleep techniques to make the little boy fall asleep, and then use hypnotism and charm to ask humans when she wakes him up. This is closer to her style, but it is still unknown if there is a problem with the little boy, and if something happens while using magic control, it will lose an important source of information.

Lucien pushed the monocle and activated the constant "Fernando's electromagnetic communication technique" above, although it was suspected that he was a fifth-level devil, and it was not impossible for the three of them to work together to kill it, but things changed. Or contact Gaston according to the agreed means, after all, no one knows if this devil will just be an aperitif!

The surface of the monocle was covered with a dense layer of ripples, and Lucien did not shy away from Charlotte and Sandra. He said directly, "Hey, hey, Mr. Gaston?"

This five-ring magic can only convert sound vibrations into corresponding electromagnetic signals at the moment.

There was no response from the other side of the "Electromagnetic Teleportation Technique", and Lucian's voice became louder: "Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

The monocle was still as quiet as death.

The situation has become serious. Lucien looked solemnly at the wall at the other end of the bookshelf, where there was a glass window, and a faint mist had filled the window. It tumbled and twisted. It seems that if you can't penetrate the complex changes in people's hearts, you can't penetrate this fog.

"It's similar to the fog of the mind, but it's not exactly the same, it can block and absorb electromagnetic waves, it belongs to the extraordinary power that has never been seen before......" Lucien judged calmly, and felt more and more that he was not knowledgeable enough. It's so biased that at least seventy percent of the books in the "Basic Arcane Library" haven't been read!

Lucien's use of "electromagnetic teleportation" was loud, and the name he called was Gaston, a member of the Arcane Review Committee, so naturally he had been watching the other two.

Charlotte followed Lucien's gaze to look out the window, and he showed a wry smile with an ordinary appearance and a cold temperament: "It seems that he is in big trouble." Simple tasks are not 'easy'. ”

Actually, I had a hunch, Lucien thought suspiciously, the possibility of a strange change in this mission had always been in his imagination, but when it really happened, it was a little unreal, what a coincidence!

"Who could it be that someone really wanted to deal with me, and how did they hide it from Lady Florence and Mr. Gaston?"

Similar questions flooded Lucian's mind, but they were all suppressed, because now was not the time to think about them, and danger could come at any time.

"The most critical issue right now is to figure out the situation as quickly as possible and decide whether to retreat or move on. Lucien glanced at Charlotte, then turned to Susan, who was slowly calming down, a full minute after she had taken the potion.

Charlotte lifted her black battle mage square hat, and also did not panic, and replied calmly: "I have used the secret eye to investigate before, but I only found three low-level devils such as the wasp demon, which is consistent with the results of your investigation, Mr. Evans, there is no trace of the monster just now, it seems to be hiding somewhere......"

"Charlotte, Sandra, don't you know what kind of devil that monster is just now?" Lucien asked with a little surprise when he realized that Charlotte couldn't identify the monster either.

This means that it at least does not appear in the ordinary "Devil's Book" and "Monster Illustrated", and if you don't know its identity, you can't completely figure out what unique abilities it has, and so on, whether it is retreating or attacking, it will be difficult to choose, for example, when you received the task before, it was clear that there were low-level devils, demons, etc., so Lucian and others were not ready to use invisibility - dragons, demons, devils, etc. are born to see through invisibility!

Charlotte and Sandra both shook their heads with serious expressions, indicating that they really didn't know each other.

"Maybe it's a monster that only high-level magicians need to face......" Sandra muttered, seeing that Susan's mind had recovered a lot and that she had the ability to communicate, she pointed to the little boy in the secret room, "Do you know him?"

Susan turned her head a little confused, and then exclaimed, "Oh, Bill, you're still alive?!"

The little boy's body, trembling all over, with his head buried between his knees and the wall, shook slightly, and then turned his head very slowly and said slowly, "Sue, Sister Susan?"

"Who is he?" Sandra asked in Susan's ear.

Susan gave Bill a reassuring smile: "It's me, Susan, we're back to save you." Bill, don't be afraid, calm down, calm down......"

She slowly moved forward, gesturing to calm Bill, and at the same time turned her face with deep fear to Lucien and Charlotte: "He is the youngest apprentice of Teacher Bertrand, and he is born with excellent mental strength, but he is very untalented in the basic learning of arcane arts, and is often ridiculed by other apprentices. Scott and I mentored him a lot, so we had a good relationship. ”

"Ask what happened to the castle afterwards. Lucien stepped forward and followed Susan towards Bill.

But when Bill saw Lucien and Charlotte following behind Susan, he trembled with fright, his head shook wildly, and his black eyes widened. Emotions full of fear: "Don't come, you devils, don't come." Don't come here!"

Lucien raised her hands, smiled, and slowly stepped back with Charlotte, while Sandra did her best to make her expression amiable, holding hands with Susan like sisters.

This time Bill's emotions were no longer so intense. Although he was still trembling with fear, at least he was no longer twitching.

"Bill, tell me. What do you see inside the castle?" said Susan, crouching in front of Bill.

Sandra, who was crouching down on the side, silently cast the two-ring magic "Tell the Lies" - it doesn't directly target Bill's body, so it's not afraid to cause a big change.

Bill stretched out his hands and grabbed Susan's arms firmly, almost causing Susan to fall backwards, and then he said in an unusually frightened voice, "All dead, all dead, Andy, Debra, and Mr. Stevens are dead! But inside, but inside, a terrible devil appeared that couldn't be killed, and then, and then they all died. All dead...... I kept running, but my feet were too weak to run, so I had to hide in this secret room. Sister Susan, get me out of here, I'm so scared!"

Andy, Debra, and Stevens are Bertrand's assistants or disciples, all of whom are magicians of the First Ring.

The spirit of "discerning the lie" did not change, so Susan resisted her fear of the devil and began to ask for details.

Lucien and Charlotte stood in the aisle on this side, watching the situation in the chamber through the long bookshelves, while keeping an eye out for changes around them.

Turning his gaze, Lucien suddenly noticed several pages of parchment beneath the table next to him, which had been burned by fire, with the contents written in the ancient Magic Empire script.

"A special summoning ritual for the dimension (the letters at the back are erased)"

"You'll first need a rune drawn in your own blood, and then you'll need a brazier, a book called The Fable of Pain......" and then on the burnt half of the parchment.

Lucien was a little amused by this summoning ritual, and even had to prepare a fable, so his mental force field moved, took the pages of parchment in his hand, and carefully looked at the surviving content of the next three pages that added up to less than ten lines:

"When everything is ready, open the tenth chapter of the Fable of Pain, read the seventh story, repeat it, and finally copy it on parchment with runes on it. ”

......

"Open the Encyclopedia of Monsters, tear off a few pages similar to the summons you imagined in your heart, and throw them into the brazier. ”

......

"Recite the mantra as you have spoken, until the flame burns as high as you. ”

"At this point, you'll be able to see the special gift you want. ”

Charlotte glanced sideways a few times, frowned slightly, and said: "This seems to be a trick-trick summoning ritual, many steps don't know what Lu Dao wants to do, actually want to read "Fable of Pain", actually throw the pages of the book into the brazier and burn...... These rolls of parchment in the hall within the reach of the apprentices illustrate the problem of their own: no one with a normal IQ would try it. ”

"Charlotte, have you read The Allegory of Pain?" asked Lucien with a deep sigh, "though I also find this ritual ridiculous and funny, but Bertrand died in the shock of a failed summoning demon in bondage, so I don't dare to be careless when I see any strange summoning ritual." ”

Charlotte thought about it for a moment: "I haven't seen 'Fable of Pain', but I've heard people mention it. It is a fable that circulated on the border of the provinces of Holm and Briana in the ancient magical empire. Because it basically tells stories that make people sad, sad, hateful, and sad to enlighten people, it is called "Fable of Pain". And I never read books that make me uncomfortable. By the way, speaking of Fables of Pain, Mr. Evans, did you notice that these parchments are very old, and the way they are used is clearly in the style of the Magic Empire before the Dawn War. ”

"Compare it with ancient texts, indeed. Lucien looked at the bookshelves and tables, "I wonder if there is a Fable of Pain here?"

At this time, Susan ended the questioning, and Sandra, who had obtained the preliminary information, did not hesitate to control Bill with a seductive human and verify the news one by one.

According to Bill's description, the first thing was the loss of control between the bondages, and the low-level devils poured into the castle and killed people everywhere, and it was at this time that Susan and Scott fled the castle. Several of Bertrand's assistants then took control of the core of the Magic Castle and began to fight back and clean up, with remarkable results, but when they cleared up to the restraint room, they encountered the monster we saw between us suddenly emerging from the summoning circle, and even with the help of the castle magic circle, they could not escape their fate. ”

Sandra walked up to Lucien and Charlotte and said, "From all the details, that monster will be reborn in the summoning array every time it dies, and only by destroying the summoning array can we completely kill it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground and the wall next to him suddenly fluctuated like water, and pale and transparent arms suddenly stretched out from inside. (To be continued.) )
