Chapter 60: Transfiguration Mask (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After the familiar dizziness, a strange flower that seemed to be full of blood appeared in front of Lucian's eyes, boundless, like a sea of crimson.

As if sensing the breath of a living person, the flowers slowly bloomed, petal after petal, and the heavy dark red slowly unfolded, revealing the wriggling flesh and blood.

Knock knock, knock knock, they swelled and contracted like Lucian's heartbeat.

On top of Lucian's entire vertebrae, the hairs stood up as if they were electrocuted, and he shuddered.

This strange flower is bewitching to the extreme, and it seems to be extremely dangerous!

After a brief moment of fear, Lucien quickly calmed down and realized that this was the garden of the "Observer's Castle" described by Rhine, so he made an ethereal, high-pitched voice and recited a spell that a normal person could not complete.

Hearing this incantation, the strange flowers swayed slightly, made a welcoming gesture, and then quickly closed and turned into blood-colored insects the size of a hair, dense and wriggling.

In the middle, a tide faded, revealing a cold, damp black earth.

"Is this a flower or a worm?...... I've never seen such a magical creature?" Lucien was a fanatical researcher of an arcana, full of curiosity about this creature that was not included in the "High Arcane and Magic Library", if it weren't for the general understanding of how dangerous a legendary garden really was, at this time he had already cast a spell to try to catch a few small insects, "maybe an ancient creature that has become extinct in the outside world......

While guessing, Lucien stepped out of the node teleportation array, followed the black path split by the "Crimson Sea", and walked towards the main entrance of the hall that was faintly visible in the distance.

The blood-colored insects converge again. It condenses into a strange flower and exudes a rich sweet fragrance, and just smelling it makes you feel like your legs are weak and your mind is confused.

Lucien subconsciously cast an air filter bubble to keep the sweet fragrance out.

The strange bright red flowers suddenly boiled and swayed towards Lucien, like a resentful ghoul with an outstretched arm.

"They are so sensitive to magical fluctuations?" and aggressive!

Lucien resisted the urge to cast his magic to defend himself, allowing the wriggling petals to wander back and forth around him, occasionally scratching his face, tickling and paralyzing.

Although no more fluctuations in magic were captured. But the undulating crimson sea shows no signs of calming down. "Teeth and claws" surrounded Lucian.

With the help of Holm's crown ring, "Electron", Lucien keeps himself in a state of great concentration, turning a blind eye to the dangers and horrors around him, and moving slowly and unhurriedly.

Although it is not clear that this is like a flower or not a flower. How terrifying are the bright red creatures that look like bugs but not bugs. But just by that premonition of danger. Lucien decided to be careful. Even if he can destroy these monsters himself, there will definitely be other high-level weird "plants" in the Rhine's garden.

In the midst of the "stormy waves", Lucien seemed to calmly walk out of the "ocean". Embark on a tree-lined road that leads to the main entrance of the castle hall.

Beside the road, two rows of tall trees resembling plane trees, with half-withered yellow leaves swirling to the ground, create a beautiful landscape in front of the dark and gloomy castle that resembles the Artogisu district.

Lucien walked up the boulevard towards the main entrance of the hall.

Suddenly, rows of black and white eyes opened on the tall trees like sycamores, and each eye reflected the figure of Lucian, and each of Lu Cien's figures had different expressions, some were puzzled, some were smiling, some were angry, some were cold, and their black and deep eyes were staring straight at the genuine Lucian.

Being looked at by this strange gaze, Lucien's forehead sweated slightly, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: "This time I met the real Scarlet Demon Tree." ”

The last time I was caught in a dream, it was based on Lucian's subconscious impression of the Scarlet Demon Tree, and there was a certain gap between it and the real one.

This kind of magic tree is difficult to grow, but as long as it enters the maturity stage, it is a high-level strength, and like the eye demon, it is good at emitting various rays, and at the same time likes to suck blood, and is good at creating illusions.

Lucien, who was wearing a lot of high-level magic items, thought to himself that if he encountered one or two Crimson Demon Trees alone, he was sure enough to turn them into materials, but there were two rows here!

"A legendary vampire castle. Lucien paced to the main entrance of the castle hall as if he were attending a banquet, in full view of everyone.

When the soft feeling under his feet turned into hard and smooth, Lucien quietly breathed a sigh of relief, it was really a very painful thing to pass through the dense group of monsters, even if he had the spell that Rhine told him, the subconscious feeling was inevitable.

The pressure was much relieved, and Lucien stood calmly at the main entrance of the hall, but before he could raise his right hand, a rumbling and dull voice came from inside the castle:

"I feel the mark of your master. ”

"Yes, I have been commissioned by Mr. Rhine to come to the castle to pick up a few things. Lucien replied briefly. As long as the alchemy life of the presiding castle is approved, there is no danger in taking away the transformation mask, ritual artifacts, and task rewards in the future.

The muffled voice reverberated and said, "I am the castle 'Mihalik', please recite the passage spell." ”

"Klihammi. Only then did Lucien understand the origin of the spell set by Rhine, which turned out to be the reverse of the name of the alchemy life, and couldn't help but laugh at it: "There is no creativity at all, it is better to open the door with sesame seeds!"

"Distinguished guests, please come in. The castle gate slowly opened, revealing an elegantly decorated hall, "Except for the control core, the power room, and the lowest level of the treasury, you can go to the rest of the place as long as there is an opening spell." ”

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

In a room full of books of different styles from different historical periods, Lucien followed Rhine's instructions and used his spiritual power to condense into spikes while chanting incantations, stabbing at the pen holder.

A faint glow lit up on the top of the pen holder, making a tooth-aching mechanical turning sound, and slowly retreated to the side, revealing a black round hole.

After carefully checking that there were no problems, Lucien used the mage's hand to remove several items from the round hole.

They are a small statue of a sphinx, a cloud of filthy blood, a gorse brooch, and a clown mask with a funny smile.

"Transfiguration Mask. A level 9 mid-tier magic item that can transform into any creature of the same sex, but does not possess the creature's innate abilities. At the same time, if you collect the blood of the other person, you can completely change into the appearance of the other party. ”

"Seven thousand eight hundred and ninety-five different types of blood have been recorded, and those who wear it can choose from them. ”

"This kind of transformation comes from the origin of blood, and if you don't step into the realm of legends, you can't see through it, even if it's legendary, you can't discern it seriously. They will also be deceived in the past. ”

"One must be at or near a high level of mental strength and will to be worn. Otherwise, you will get lost in different identities and become a complete lunatic. ”

"A lot of times, identity works better than magic!"

"β€”An anonymous magician of 'Split Minds'. ”

As Lucien performed the "Identification Technique", the message and structure of the Clown Mask came to his mind clearly. And the remaining three items. Lucien could only identify that they all contained strange, subtle supernatural powers. And the nature is slightly different, it is a ritual item that opens the three magic arrays.

Packed up his belongings and masks, Lucien hurried to "enter" some of the books that Rhine had collected into the Soul Library. He calls himself an "observer of history," and there are certainly valuable anecdotes in it.

However, for fear of being discovered by "Mihalik", Lucien did not look through it quickly, and it took him six hours to complete the fifty books he had liked.

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

All kinds of shining gems, gold coins from different times and countries, sets of brand-new knights' armor, exquisite magic robes, and extraordinary weapons such as swords, hammers, axes, spears, belts, boots, rings, amulets, necklaces and other magical items, scrolls, liquids, metals, feathers, gases and other things dazzled Lucian's eyes, and the things that could be collected by the legendary vampire Rhine were either of high historical or artistic value, or very rare or powerful.

Among the many transcendent items, the lowest is also mid-level, and most of them are high-level, but there are no artifacts in the ninth level or the legendary realm, and they are obviously placed at the bottom of the treasure house.

After "carefully choosing", "can't put it down", "swaying from side to side", and "reluctant to give up", Lucien finally picked out a scroll and a belt.

"Eight Rings Magic Scroll, 'Night Shuttle'!"

"Health Belt, Level 8 High-level Magic Items, Immunity to Disease, Immunity to Toxins, Level Seals Immunity to Negative Energy Damage, Immunity to Legendary Magic that Reduces Physique. ”

"Health is the essence of life. ”

β€”Wright Horse Philosophy"

These two items, the former can be offset with the Space Lock, are an excellent choice when escaping, and it is a high-level vampire's innate magic, which the Arcanists have yet to emulate, and Lucien intends to use this scroll as a reference and use it at a critical moment.

The latter's cascade of immunity is equally useful.

After leaving a mental imprint on the "health belt", Lucien turned his head to look at the location where the magic wand was placed, intending to carefully select one. The magic wand on his body is still second-level, which is too incompatible with the identity of a high-level magician.

When he was puzzled by the magic wands of level seven or eight, Lucien suddenly saw an ordinary and ubiquitous long sword on the stand next to him, it was inconspicuous, and even the gauntlets were made of wood.

"How could Mr. Rhine collect such an ordinary longsword?" Lucien had a strong doubt, and threw a "identification technique" into the longsword.

When the information came back, Lucien was immediately stunned.

"Pale Justice, an eighth-level Perfection-Tier transcendent sword, when facing evil creatures (necromancers, devils, demons, etc.), it is additionally upgraded to the level of a first-order legendary weapon. The person holding this sword is not affected by negative states such as fear, charm, rage, and helplessness, and every time he swings a sword, he will be drawn by justice, and he will be invincible. ”

"It takes at least the strength of a sixth-level Heavenly Knight to pick up this sword of justice. ”

"Justice, which is inferior and pale in comparison with vanity and vain power, applies to everyone, rich and poor, and knowledgeable. Whether in the farmer's field or on the fierce battlefield, justice is everywhere. ”

It turned out to be this "famous" long sword! (To be continued......
