When Lucien found himself habitually running to familiar places, he thought of the "dark red bracelet" and the "iron black dagger" buried in the Black Forest across the Massol River after killing the fire wolf.

The internal structure of these two magical items has been thoroughly analyzed by Lucien, who has been studying the Book of Phases and Elements for the past few months, and has learned about their respective abilities, one is a third-level high-level magic item "Fireweaver's Bracelet", and the other is an apprentice-level enchanted weapon "Cold Iron Dagger".

It was because of his confidence in the three-ring magic "Fireball Technique" and the two-ring magic "Yang Yan Talisman" attached to the "Fireweaver's Bracelet" that Lucien dared to let Natasha lure away the big knight and stay to deal with the ordinary knights himself, but although there was only Aaron a second-level knight who followed, he was very careful, so that Lucian had to slowly show weakness and lure to find the opportunity to kill completely, delaying nearly a minute longer than expected.

But Lucien didn't expect Natasha to rush back in about two minutes, and it seemed that she even saw the process of taking out the fireweaver bracelet by herself, and called out the word "professor", which she had made up!

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

Lucien took out the Fireweaver Bracelet thirty seconds ago.

Natasha slowly turned the situation back and suppressed Todd step by step, and Todd was good at defensive combat, plus his whole body could be steeled, and there was no obvious point, so he was unhurried and unusually calm and persevered. He believed that as long as he resisted Natasha's stormy attack for a few more minutes, and waited until the effect of her potion wore off, he would be able to win easily, but Natasha's increasingly cohesive and oppressive momentum always gave him a bad instinct.

After the two pupil colors of silver gray and purple fluctuated back and forth a few times, they gradually blended together, and Natasha's momentum, will, and body seemed to condense into a whole, and she let out a hearty shout and strode forward. Holding the "Thundering Sword" with both hands, he slashed fiercely.

This loud shout made Todd's ears suddenly sound a huge and shocking roar, and no other sound could be heard, and the body that had been able to defend against the deafness effect of the "Thundering Sword" could not counteract Natasha's loud shout.

However, the ringing in the ears did not prevent Todd from making a well-developed defense. The square shield in his left hand was raised to block Natasha's attack, and the blood-light sword in his right hand slashed horizontally, attacking instead of defending.

But halfway through the swing of the sword, Todd unexpectedly saw that Natasha's body seemed to be transparent in front of him. The sword that slashed down also seemed to come from another world, and an illusory and hideous crack suddenly appeared on the shield, and spread rapidly towards Todd's body with an unstoppable trend.

"You?" Todd's severed body asked in the most horrified way. Then there were a few snaps, and it fell to the ground along with the blood-light long sword that had been cut off by the waist.

Natasha gasped for a few moments, then hurried back to help Lucien kill the Dark Knight.

Ten seconds later, Natasha returned to the Black Forest, where she had been ambushed, and saw Lucien lying on the ground. Aaron stabbed from the right side with a black dagger, and when she was about to rescue her, she was surprised to find Lucien take out a dark red bracelet from the dirt and activate the "Fireball Technique" to kill Aaron.

"When did you bury a nice magic item here?"

"This bracelet is a little familiar, it seems to be the 'Fireweaver's Bracelet' mentioned in the 'Professor' murder materials compiled by the church?"

"This is the Black Forest across the Massol River. Further beyond that are the underground ruins where the Silver Horn used to hide. ”

Countless memories poured into Natasha's mind, and the bits and pieces before and after the siege of the Silver Horn incident surfaced one by one, and many details that were not considered problematic before began to show another side of it, such as Lucian's potion to stimulate blood power, such as the missing Silver Horn cultist who monitored him, such as the prison guard who did not kill the hostages......

There are only two possibilities, either the professor and Lucien are close enough to be willing to risk saving people for him, or the professor is Lucien, and Lucian is the professor, and from the fact that the professor is chased by a night watchman of the ordinary knight rank and flees in a hurry, Natasha prefers the latter, after all, the magic that seems to be powerful can be apprentice-level magic with special principles applied, which has been seen in several examples in Holm.

Most importantly, the screams of Lonzan Aaron, who had fought the professor head-on, seemed to be the new word "professor"!

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

Natasha's beautiful eyes are like a purple lake in a storm, the waves rise and fall, completely revealing the emotions in her heart, shock, surprise, disbelief, anger, sadness and pain.

"Will she do it?" Lucien held the fireweaver's bracelet, ready to activate the "Yang Flame Talisman" and "Fireball Technique" at any time, although in front of Natasha, who is currently at the fifth level, it is difficult for them to come in handy, but with Lucian's character, he will definitely not give up directly and do nothing hard.

And Lucien was nervous but not flustered, and even had a peculiar calmness: "Delay time, you have to say something to delay time, as long as the effect of 'vampire blood' is delayed for three minutes, the matter will be solved." ”

So, after a brief silence, Lucien pondered his tone and prepared to make up another story.

But then, Natasha's eyes became calm and deep again, and her voice was slightly hoarse and spat out a few words: "Go to Holm." ”

"Huh?" Lucien didn't react to Natasha's meaning for a while, only then did he realize that Natasha's eye color seemed to have changed a little, no longer the dreamlike purple of the past, nor the indifferent and ruthless silver gray when the blood power was fully stimulated, but turned into a clear and pure silver purple, but this seems to be able to see through at a glance There is an indescribable depth in the crystal clear.

"Go to Holm, the headquarters of the Continental Magical Council is there, and if you're like Sylvia and want to concentrate on the magic path, it's the perfect place for you. Natasha repeated in a hoarse, deep voice, and then her eyes narrowed, revealing a languid, dangerous, beautiful smile, "Dear Mr. Professor, you are truly a master of acting skills, and I don't think any opera singer can compare to you." ”

"Actually, I don't want to lie to you, but life is always full of helplessness. Lucien was slightly relieved to see Natasha's dangerous smile but not to make a move, it would be best to be able to delay the conversation until the end of three minutes.

Natasha smiled self-deprecatingly, "My friends are cheating on me. I'm used to it. But I understand you, and I can clearly feel the oppressive pain of your performance of Pathétique, and Aalto is not the right place to learn magic. ”

"You don't mind if I'm a magician?" Lucien could tell from Natasha's previous attitude toward Sylvia's study of magic that she didn't have the extreme dislike and hatred of the average devout disciple. But that was before Sylvia's betrayal, and now it's hard to guess what Natasha was thinking.

Natasha pursed her lips and replied seriously, "My mother was a genius magician, so I never thought that magicians were necessarily evil and dark. Judge a person's good and evil. Not by who he is, but by what he does. ”

Her smile softened, and she gave a faint touch: "Although I am angry and sad, Lucien, you are deceiving me and using me in many things. But in retrospect, you never tried to hurt me, and you really tried to help me, and you had the opportunity to leave me on your own, but you still carried me on the run like a fool. In fact, when I met you in the wilderness outside, I thought you might be a magician, and many details of the escape also revealed this. It's just that I haven't been able to connect you to the professor who killed a lot of the Night's Watch. ”

"If the Night's Watch didn't want to capture me, I wouldn't have died. And in my heart, compared with others, the lives of my relatives and friends are definitely more precious. Lucien also didn't want to lose Natasha's friend, and explained his own ideas. At the same time, I laughed at myself in my heart for the lies that I thought I had passed.

Three minutes had already passed, and Natasha didn't seem to have changed abnormally, and Lucien was slightly surprised to hear her heavy exhalation:

"Although you are a professor with bloody hands, I still want to continue to be friends with you. Anyway, those night watchmen aren't my loyal knights. ”

After saying this, Natasha seemed to get rid of the struggle and became free again, she slowly walked in front of Lucian, revealing Lucian's familiar teasing smile: "Dear Mr. Professor, what other things are you lying about? For example, you have never had a love affair? For example, you have never held a girl's hand? I think you seem to have a lot of experience, whether it is love words or composition." ”

“...... Nothing else lies about magic. Although this sentence itself is a lie, when it comes to the Soul Library, Lucien can only say this.

Natasha didn't speak, her eyes looked at Lucian's face intently, her right thumb and index finger gently touched her chin, and then jokingly said: "Actually, Lucian, your facial features and silhouette are very handsome, if you are a girl, you will definitely be beautiful." ”

"Huh?" Lucien was a little dazed.

"Hehe, magic is colorful and magical, and it's hard to change genders, but it's also possible. I know that there is a Grand Arcanist who once made a transgender belt, Lucien, why don't you try to be a girl?" Natasha suggested excitedly.

Lucien glared at her solemnly: "I'm a normal man. ”

Natasha saw that Lucien didn't like such jokes, so she stopped pestering in a measured way, and immediately changed the topic, her expression became equally serious: "Although the atmosphere of learning magic is very good in the Magic Council, there is a fight where there are people, Lucian, you must be careful, don't get involved in the game of the strong." ”

As she spoke, she removed an iron ring from her right index finger and handed it to Lucian.

The color of this ring is iron black and dull, and it is no different from the ordinary ring that he wears when practicing archery, so even if Natasha has been wearing it all year round, Lucien has not paid much attention to it before.

"What is this?" Lucien took in confusion.

Natasha looked at the ring, her gaze softened and warmed, "Didn't I tell you that my mother was a genius magician? This is the 'Holm Crown' award she received when she was twenty-three years old. It's a pity that this powerful magical item has been completely damaged, and it has lost its previous title as the most beautiful ring in the entire continent. However, because each winner's ring is unique, it can be used as a token. ”

"'Holm Crown' Award?" Lucien rubbed the inside of the ring, and sure enough, he found a line of text inside: "Holm Crown of 781, in gratitude to Madame Meredith Hoffenberg", and on the front of the ring was engraved another word, "Mo".

Natasha smiled slyly and beautiful like a fox: "Lucian, you are indeed the professor! If there is really a magician from the Magic Council who teaches you, you can't be unaware of the 'Holm Crown' award." This is an award created by the Royal Court of Holm in conjunction with the Elemental Will organization of the Magical Council, to recognize mages who have made breakthrough contributions to the field of elemental magic and have left their mark on the history of elemental magic. ”

"It is not often awarded, and since its inception, only twenty-four magicians have been able to obtain it in more than two hundred and seventy years, and it is the highest honor of elemental magic. My mother was awarded for her introduction to the theory of electromagnetism in the field of elements and the discovery of a metal element lighter than water, and she was the youngest recipient of the Holm Crown Award. ”

"Each winning mage will receive a custom-made one-of-a-kind Level 7 magic ring as a gift. And every ring has its own 'proper name', and my mother's one comes from the element 'Mo' that she discovered and named. (To be continued.) )
