Section E: Chapter 49: The Seal (Lucina)

"You mean just summoned the hugger and shouldn't have gotten out of control to this extent?"

In the face of York's question, Lucina still seemed to be in a daze. Then, he suddenly took out a bottle and took a small sip, turned to wipe his mouth, and asked York curiously if he knew the hugger's battle.

"Sure enough, it's not a very strong hugger...... I don't even know how to use magic. After listening to York's brief description, Lucina carried the wine jug that was almost empty, and looked down at the Iron Knight in disapproval: "Is this all out of control? ”

Next time I'm going to fill it with vodka...... Shaking the little liquid left in the flask, Aya, who thought that it was indeed just a boring summoning accident, thought to herself, a little distressed: But the whiskey didn't seem to be good, either.

It was already very dark around, and Lucina, who was afraid of the dark, was a little scared.

As a result, the frost spirit began to glow with a dark orchid, illuminating the surroundings and reassuring the owner.

But accidents always happen unexpectedly. At that moment, a gust of wind mixed with snowflakes blew violently, which suddenly made Lucina panic, and accidentally fell off the already slippery roof and fell into the snowdrift of the courtyard.

In fact, with Aya's weight of only thirty pounds, this kind of wind would easily blow her down - but the power of angels can resist the wind, so it should have been fine just now.

Of course, it's hard to say anything when you panic.

"Woo ah......" buried in the snowdrift, the petite Lucina looked extremely distressed, as if she felt embarrassed.

"Stupid you've got it. Not missing the opportunity to taunt her master, York couldn't help but say while helping to pull her out of the snowdrift, "You can fall off this too?"

"At least I wasn't killed by my own summoned beast!" Lucina, who was pulled out, muttered, as if embarrassed by the embarrassment of feeling embarrassed, "I'm much better than him!"

Although York was tempted to say something more, seeing that Lucina had fallen to the point where she could only compare to such a person, she suddenly had nothing to say.

As for Frost, he seems to be gloating on the sidelines.

At the same time, a new commotion could be heard in the warehouse. Vicol and a new man dressed as a senior could be seen hurrying over.

Someone could be heard talking in Brna about what had been discovered—a hidden cellar entrance under a carpet was found in a bedroom in the house in the same courtyard as the warehouse.

Is it underground...... York's interest immediately came, and he took his attention away from his master and focused entirely on the courtyard surrounded by guards: what was hidden?

"You say...... What's underground?" Lucina stared at the warehouse, seemingly equally interested, "A lot of mages like to stuff all sorts of secret items in their basements! ”

That's true.

Because the basement is the least likely place for outsiders to see. It is also relatively quiet.

Many magical studies and ceremonies take place in the basement. This allows you to concentrate and not be distracted. It's not so easy for outsiders to suddenly break in and interrupt this process that requires concentration.

Some rituals can be dangerously interrupted.

"Let's go check it out!" Aya urged York, eager to take a look. York, however, felt that this was not good, and reminded Lucina that we were outsiders and not to interfere with the guards' investigation.

"What if they want to ask me, a magic expert, to investigate together?" Lucina replied with a look of excitement, "I'll tell you absolutely yes!"

So, a moment later, the news really came that there was a magic seal in the basement.

"What am I talking about?" Lucina snickered when she saw the scene develop as she expected, and was very proud: "Everything is under my control!"

However, if you are too complacent, you will be slapped in the face sooner or later.

Apparently, Lucina was right.

"The entrance to the basement is simply inaccessible...... We need a magic expert to help with the seal!" said one of the guards so anxiously, that Lucina was delighted, and blurted out to York with a serious and expectant face, "That's right, it's me!"

"Alright, go find those mages from Elder City!" Unexpectedly, the captain of the guard gave the order in a hurry, completely ignoring Lucina.

"Why, why are you looking for them!" After a pause, Aya panicked and felt that her face was lost: "This is too faceless!"

"You're honest here. Grabbing Lucina, who was about to flash away, York took a breath, feeling that he could stop for a while, and did not intend to let go of this opportunity: "Wouldn't it be better for them to find someone else? ”

"No! I don't accept it!" Lucina struggled eagerly, kicking her legs and shouting to get out of York's grasp, "You let go! I have such a powerful magician nearby, and they are going to find the old man—wow, ah, let go of me, I'm your master, bastard!"

Aya protested loudly, but was still dragged away by York, under the blue light of the frost's quiet light.

But soon a guard hurriedly caught up with her and asked her to help as well. Obviously, Vicol suddenly remembered that Lucina was still here, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite this Aya over. This caused Lucina, who was still depressed, to immediately regain her energy and become energetic. even blamed York, saying that he was completely right, and that he was nosy.

"Oops...... You're asking the right question!" Lucina coughed, and her expression became serious, "You don't need that old man! ”

"Ah...... Forehead...... Anyway, please come over first. The guards were overwhelmed by Lucina's sudden remark. So, he hurriedly began to lead the way. However, just as Lucina was about to consider whether to walk with him or flash past, she heard a sudden dull sound from the ground floor of the target house.

Sensing the surging magical energy inside, Lucina suddenly stopped and looked at the building surrounded by guards who were panicked by the sound, and at the same time felt great confusion and obvious uneasiness in her heart.

Suddenly, a logical thought flew through her mind, giving Lucina a rough idea of what was going on inside.

Apparently, the seal in the basement was released by a dead spellcaster.

And after his death, the power of the seal continued to decay. Now, a tipping point has been reached.

Whatever he was sealing it for, the protection would soon be gone.
