"......Uhh Is there really no exit to this room?" Lucina sighed in frustration, "How can this be?

"Speaking of which, the exit of this passage has not been closed. Morse, who was also disappointed, sat on the ground and thumped his legs: "Do you want to go down again?"

"It shouldn't be......" Lucina boredly hugged the balloo (pillow form), "The pointer shouldn't have disappeared by chance." There's supposed to be some mechanism here to open the secret door - and I'm not going to go down that tunnel anymore anyway! It's a labyrinth. ”

Minia kept screaming with joy and bouncing herself.

"Uh......h Mace still owes us a meal. Lucina sadly imagined the meal she should have eaten, and she couldn't help but be hungry.

"My sister knows how to eat. Lusha said in a complaining tone.

"Aren't you hungry, Lusa? Lucina pinched the dumplings and handed them to Lusa beside her, "Why don't you eat some dumplings first?"

"Don't. Lusha, who took the dumplings, shook her head and held it in her arms: "And I've had chocolate cake for dinner, and I'm not hungry now." ”

"That's just dessert, kid, it's not a regular dinner at all! Besides, even if you eat only dessert in a meal, you have to divide them into four types!" Lucina put her right hand on her sister's head and pressed it down, "Remember—appetizers, desserts, desserts, desserts!"

"I say, what's the difference?" Morse asked, puzzled, "Also, shouldn't eating dessert count as dessert after a meal?"

Well, there's no clear boundary between these four – it's all a matter of personal preference. Lucina smug added, "By the way, this is Lucina's special method of division!

"To be honest, I don't understand at all......," Morse smiled awkwardly, "Probably because I don't like sweets." ”

"Well, it must be because of this. Lucina lamented: "It's a pity! How pale is a life without sweets?"

"I don't have much research on sweets, but I'm pretty good at wine. Morse excitedly asked, "I remember you told me before that you also like to drink?"

"yes, but I don't like the throat-burning spirits. Lucina straightened up slightly and patted her chest proudly: "After we go out, we can fight for the amount of wine." As long as it's a mild, low-alcohol wine, I can drink it. ”

"I like this offer. Morse laughed, "Still, I don't think you have much chance of winning - no one has won the battle with me yet!"

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to be the first winner. Lucina shifted her seat and laughed.

The oppressive atmosphere was tempered by a light-hearted conversation, and Lucina and Morse continued to talk about alcohol until a "clang" sound came from one of the walls.

"Hmm, what's the movement?" Morse stood up as if electrocuted, turning to look at the wall behind him.

A square wall fell rapidly, and in a moment it was completely lowered to the ground—a stone door appeared in front of the three men.

"Uh-huh, exit!" Lucina got up excitedly and stared at the blue-lit corridor outside, "Huh, there's two people in the hallway." ”

"That's not ......" Morse opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Eddes and Elton?!"

"Who's that?" Lucina canceled the floating ball of light for lighting and looked at the two men carefully, "Speaking of which, there is a person who seems to be the guard next to Mace...... I forgot what it was called—is it Elton?"

"Yes, that's my son. Morse excitedly picked up the lantern on the ground: "The other person is Captain Edus, my old friend...... I didn't expect to meet them here!

Pulling Lusa, who was still holding the ball, Lucina quickly followed Morse.

Elton, who had an anxious expression, quickly noticed us, and waved his hand in disbelief.

Approaching Elton's side, he asked in surprise, "Dad, how did you come out of the end of the hallway......?"

"I'll explain this later!" Eddes stared at the room next to him, anxious, "Miss Lucina, I heard that you know how to spell, don't you?"

"What's the matter?" said Lucina, and hurried to the door.

Through the blue light of a torch that fell to the ground in the room, Lucina was shocked to see Bachelor Nadia collapse to the ground, surrounded by a dim black-purple light.

Lucina's first instinct was to rush into the house and crouch next to the unconscious bachelor.

The strange black-purple light was still shining. Reacting quickly, Lucina reached out to probe the mana structure of the magic.

Realizing that Eddes and Elton were still standing in the doorway and not entering, Lucina looked up anxiously and shouted, "What's the matter with you two? The bachelor fainted when we came, didn't he? Why don't you come in and help him?"

"We can't get in......" Edes reluctantly reached out into the room, and that hand was firmly blocked by something.

"It's ...... Enchantment!" Lucina sensed the mana energy in the room and exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder...... Aya is almost immune to spells, so I just came in - Lusa, come in and help my sister!"

Lusha squeezed through the gap beside Edus, retracting the shrunken dumpling into her crossbody bag.

"I don't know what kind of magic this is...... I could only feel that this was a very powerful spell. Lucina withdrew her hand that was empty above the Bachelor's body, and looked anxiously at the evil light, "All I know now is ...... Someone sealed a triggering spell inside the altar that would trigger as soon as someone used a ritual spell such as an activation spell - the exact effect after that was unclear. I can't understand the structure of its mana, but I can still try to break it by force - Lusha, my sister needs your help. ”

"I see. Lusa nodded in tacit agreement and knelt beside her sister.

Touching her sister's head, Lucina closed her eyes and condensed mana into her palm.

Constructing a mana connection with Lusa, Lucina quickly began to absorb mana when the connection fit reached its peak.

Both Aiya were enveloped in an ice-blue glow, and a large amount of fluctuating arcane energy flowed towards Lucina in thin lines.

After a few seconds of mana drain, Lucina interrupted the mana connection between the two. Gathering the mana in her body, Lucina suddenly injected a blue light into the bachelor's body.

Feeling the repulsion between the spells, Lucina intensified the transfer of mana.

It took nearly a minute for Lucina to finally break the spell that had been attached to the Bachelor. Too much mana was consumed, leaving Lucina on the ground exhausted.

"Sister?" Lusa nudged Lucina, "Did you succeed?"

"Ahhh......h It worked. Feeling the excessive mana consumed, Lucina sighed, "The mana strength of this spell is terrible...... I wonder if it was a good thing to do by the Frozen Soldier and the mage who manipulated the severed hand—you guys came in and helped! ”

"Ah, good!" said the three of them rushed into the room.

"Now, everyone...... The moment I destroyed its mana structure, I knew what kind of spell it was. Lucina said in a trembling tone, "In a large area, centered on the Bachelor as the host, it is a spell that absorbs the magic essence of all people with magical potential and causes mana countermeasures and kills. ”
