....................................................................................
In the corner of the restaurant, in the toilet paved with patterned rock, the faint scent of flowers and plants hides the original residual smell.
Lucien locked the wooden door, pretended to be in front of the mirror to arrange his clothes, carefully examined the bathroom boy, and then waited quietly for dozens of seconds before taking out a fist-sized morning crystal ball and a cold iron dagger from the wide pocket on his left side.
Picking up the dagger and slashing it lightly on his left wrist, the cold and sluggish sensation entered Lucian's brain, and drops of blood fell on the washstand.
Then Lucien's right index finger stretched out, and strange symbols were written in the void, and under its tuition, the scarlet blood that had just dripped just now twisted and wriggled and merged into a not-so-complex structure of magical lines.
This is the arrangement that Lucien used to conceal the magic fluctuations generated by the use of crystal balls, etc.
Although it was difficult to say how effective the hastily arranged magic array would be, the ominous premonition in Lucian's heart made him not think about it so much.
The strange behavior of Grey Mist and Baron Habero made Lucien think that if he hesitated and delayed for a while, he would encounter great and inescapable danger.
The magic array painted by blood slowly lit up, and the demonic blood light rippled softly, wrapping the crystal ball in the center with a transparent and beautiful one.
Lucien stretched out his hands and stroked the crystal ball, chanting a mysterious incantation in his mouth like a dream.
The crystal ball gradually became dark and dark, and brilliant but faint stars lit up within it, like the reflection of the starry sky at night.
This is the most unique and difficult "astrology" in the astrological system!
After Lucien became an official magician and obtained the "Morning Crystal Ball", his thorough mastery of "elementary astrology knowledge" and original astrophysics knowledge allowed him to quickly learn "elementary astrology", and the accuracy and clarity of the results slightly exceeded the level that elementary astrology should have.
This makes Lucien feel even more strange about "fate".
A series of magical and mysterious star trajectories crossed, and the starry sky in the crystal ball began to form a unique star phase.
Lucien, whose black eyes had recovered from the darkness and depth, frowned and said secretly: "Judging from the results of astrology, the main star of destiny does have dim signs. Danger looms all the time. And it seems that as time goes by, the danger will get stronger and stronger, and even make the main star of destiny have the possibility of falling!"
Lucian's "elementary astrology" is a little above the level of its peers. However, there is still only a very vague and only a rough picture of the danger, such as what the danger is, where it comes from, why it will become stronger and stronger, and who the enemy is.
And even the astrology of the "prophets" is equally imprecise and full of ambiguity. This is the mystery of fate.
Putting away the Morning Light Crystal Ball, Lucien took out the dark red "Fireweaver Bracelet" from his right pocket and put it on. Then place the Ice Avenger ring with its metallic and sapphire brilliance on your left index finger.
Previously, the guards only took away the vigilant sword, but Lucien was afraid that the baron would be able to identify the magic items, so in addition to the "crown of the sun" that was covered by his clothes. It is to remove the other two pieces in advance and hide them.
"The results of the astrology are vague, and I am not sure at all whether the danger is from the baron, and it is likely that it will be after I leave the castle, so can I turn my face and act just because I feel that I am in danger?"
"But if you delay the observation any longer, by the time the real danger comes, it may be too late!"
............
The idea of not harming innocent people and the instinct of self-preservation in danger collided fiercely in Lucien's heart.
But Lucien, who understood that the matter was urgent, did not dwell too much on it, and hid the debilitating dagger upside down in his sleeve. Scoop clean water out of the cistern and make a rattling sound.
"Just like Natasha said, you can't hesitate and twist!"
"Since I can't be sure, then I'll try it myself! If I'm mistaken, there will be a chance to remedy and apologize if I have room to go, but I won't do anything. Then you really don't have to do anything, because the dead don't have to do anything at all!"
"We must seize the opportunity to deal with the danger that could lead to the fall of my Destiny Primary!"
Lucien opened the wooden door of the bathroom, his hands naturally drooping, and he walked towards the table with firm and decisive steps.
But Lucien had just taken a few steps, but he was surprised to find that Baron Habero and Karin were not at the table, so he asked more vigilantly and vigilantly, "Where have Lord Baron and Lady Karin gone?"
Even though this change has made Lucien feel that he must hurry up in his heart, his tone is still calm and natural,
"The Baron was a little unwell, and Madame Kaylin helped him to his bedroom to take his potion, and he would be back later. Betty replied with a slight concern about Habero's condition.
Lucien bowed his head lightly, his gaze cold: "Then I'll go visit Lord Baron." β
Is it just "Pathos" that made him lose control of his emotions and caused bad changes in his body, or are he ready to do it? If it is the former, then it seems to be the best choice to break through directly and take advantage of his efforts before he recovers, and if it is the latter, unexpected actions can interrupt the other party's plan even more.
Of course, the baron may also be a hero who is truly kind-hearted and has relapsed from an old disease, so what he needs is an apology and apology, but this is not worth mentioning compared to the danger.
"Mr. Evans, Lord Baron will be back soon. Betty stood up and looked at Lucien in amazement, as did Simon, Joanna, and Wise
Lucien didn't answer them, turned and walked out of the restaurant.
Under the bewildered gazes of Betty and the others, Lucien went to the door and asked the guards soldiers, "Where is the bedroom of the Baron?" β
"Mr. Evans, Lord Baron has instructed you to stay in the dining room. The two soldiers crossed their ceremonial spears and blocked the door, replying in a polite but unemotional tone.
Lucien nodded, smiled slightly, and suddenly slammed into one of the soldiers, the weakened dagger hidden in his sleeve stabbing into his arm.
The restaurant was silent, and no one expected Lucien to do it directly.
Is he crazy?!
The weakened dagger from Ronsang Aaron was pierced into the soldier's body, but he, who should have become weak, drew his sword with great strength and slashed at Lucian. The muscles on his face bulged as if they were about to burst.
And instead of blood, a yellowish pus flowed from his arm. The stench is unpleasant.
Lucien was agile and easily dodged, and with a dagger forward, he cut the soldier's neck. At the same time, he rolled to the side, dodging the spear of another soldier.
"Murdered...... Evans killed!"
Even Simon and Joanna, who were calm and capable, were stupid in place.
But they immediately saw a faint milky white light rippling from Mr. Evans's body. The spear-wielding soldier screamed in pain, and then collapsed to the ground, his body decaying rapidly, as if he had been dead for a long time.
"Is this ......" Simon subconsciously asked, if the rapid decay of the first soldier's corpse could be pushed onto Mr. Evans's black and gloomy dagger, then the change in this soldier gave him a bad premonition.
Lucien put away his feeble dagger and picked up his vigilant sword. Calmly replied, "Corpse puppet." Mr. Mars, do you know where the bedroom of Lord Baron Murray's bedroom is?" I still don't know much about necromantic magic! Although the debilitating dagger is stronger than the vigilant sword, Lucien, who has trained with John and Natasha, is more effective with the longsword in his hand.
Mars was already trembling with fear, whether it was Lucien's murder without warning, or the change in the two corpses. It was as if the musician, who had never seen a dangerous scene, was in a nightmare, and it wasn't until Joanna slapped him hard in the back that he came back to his senses and stammered out the location of Baron Habero's bedroom.
"Simon, you're in charge of holding back the guards rushing up from downstairs, and protecting Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars. Lucien ordered succinctly, although he didn't know how much of Baron Ludao's current strength was left, but being surrounded by soldiers with longbows in a fierce battle with him would definitely have a certain impact on him, and if there were a few more standard demon-breaking longbows inside, it would be even more troublesome.
Betty, who was a little pale with fright, came back to her senses and subconsciously replied, "Mr. Evans, I will guard the staircase." With my archery skills, as long as there are no knight-level powerhouses, I will definitely be able to stop them for a long time. "Archery inherited from the elven bloodline is Betty's pride.
Then she saw Mr. Evans disappear in a faint afterimage in the doorway.
"Knight?Mr. Evans is a knight-level powerhouse!paladin?!" Betty blurted out with wide eyes.
Looking back, she saw that her mature and beautiful sister and shrewd and capable brother-in-law all looked surprised with their mouths half open, and only Mars and Wise still looked like they were having nightmares.
A knight would hire adventurers to protect him?! He can destroy all the adventurers in Dragon's Tooth Town, as well as the robbers and beasts in the wild! The nobleman's hobby is really strange!
"Betty, pick up the bow and hold the staircase with me. Simon was the first to come to his senses, and quickly instructed the others, "Joanna, you bring the two gentlemen with you. β
Betty nodded hurriedly, found her shortbow from the two dead soldiers, and ran towards the staircase.
............
Lucien ran in the slightly dark hallway, and being able to plant a second earlier could be the key to turning the tide of battle.
"Who? stop!" the soldier guarding the corner of the corridor shouted when he saw a dark shadow rushing towards him.
After turning into corpse golems, their intelligence is significantly reduced.
Lucien did not reply, but rushed forward, cutting off the heads of the two soldiers with two swipes of his sword, and continued to run without stopping.
It wasn't until he saw Baron Habero's bedroom that Lucien stopped and didn't rush over to kill the gatekeepers.
After quietly observing and feeling the strength of the magic array on the door, the constant power of the "Excess Undead" of the talisman "Crown of the Sun" on Lucian's chest surged over like a wave, and the four low-level undead creatures were purified and fell to the ground before they could even scream.
As the sound of the fall sounded, Lucien rushed out of the room, his body half-moonlit and slammed the door with his vigilant sword and feeble dagger.
One by one, the black magic runes lit up and shattered one after another, collapsing in an instant under the attack of the two transcendent weapons, and the door was directly slammed open by Lucian.
And Lucien, who slammed the door open, with the help of the force of the rebound, did not advance but retreated, and rolled backwards.
At the same time, the spell model in the body moved, and two silver-black missiles condensed out of thin air and flew towards the bedroom.
Inside the wide open bedroom door, Baron Habero, with many terrifying wrinkles on his face, was sitting in the center of a strange black magic circle in the shape of a triangle.
On the three corners of the magic array were a baby, a seven or eight-year-old child, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who were bound by black illusory tentacles, and bursts of milky white light visible to the naked eye on their bodies converged through the magic array into a pale white pupilless eyeball in the center.
Driven by the incantation of Karin beside her, the pale pupilless eyes slowly shed two lines of bloody tears, slowly filling the silver cup in Baron Habero's hand.
Two magic missiles smashed into the silver cup in Habero's stunned gaze. (To be continued.) )
