Chapter 54 The Best Place to Conduct Research
Luca had never heard of the law of the Sea Knight, and of course he didn't intend to pay attention to Mores's arguments at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
But for Daniel, who is a knight, there is no way to ignore this law.
Similar to Luka's path as a mage, the Sea Knight has its own system of power, the core of which can be summed up in a simple word: order. The rules of the Sea Knight are the specific and detailed regulations of this core, so detailed that even the knights of each level meet each other and greet each other clearly.
"Eating, drinking, hiccups, talking in your sleep, etc., it doesn't matter?" Lukka asked, listening to Daniel's explanation.
All the knights, including Daniel, glared at him fiercely.
"Don't worry, it won't take up too much time for the two of you. Mores said with a smile, he commanded his knights to move two chairs, "Why don't we get to know each other first, I, Joseph Mores, Lord of the Knights of the Seas, don't know the names of the two?"
Daniel didn't give him much face, and replied with a gloomy face, "My name is Daniel Morgan, and he's Captain Luca Lester." We don't have to sit anymore, the contents of the box are a source of magic. I don't know how to use it, you ask the captain to go!"
Lukka secretly wiped a cold sweat, Daniel was really sincere, not only condensed what he knew into a few short sentences, but also threw the hot potato to himself.
Lukka, however, was not Daniel, and he shook his head and said, "I'm not obligated to answer your questions, my lord. β
Mores rolled his eyes: "Of course not, if you don't want to answer, please take care of yourself." But as a knight who has lost his mentor for more than ten years, I really have a lot of problems. Your companion, my temporary mentor, is going to be busy for a while, but don't worryβ"
As he spoke, he personally moved the chair next to Daniel: "That is, in a few months, maybe years, not more than a few decades at most, he will be able to answer all my questions." β
Lukka suddenly felt that if this guy wasn't a knight, he would be one of the best profiteers. Daniel, a big guy who is easy to admit death, is really unlucky to meet such a "junior".
"Actually, I don't know what this thing is. I'm just a pirate. Lukka sat down in his chair without waiting for anyone to let him go, "But if you promise not to pester my lieutenant again, I don't mind opening the box here and studying it carefully." β
"No problem, but I can't allow you to take the contents with you. We look forward to your understanding. "Mores has long understood that this strange man on the other side, who can disappear into thin air, is far less easy to fool than that superior knight.
Lukka hesitated for a few seconds, the source of mana was an object with a large amount of mana attached, and for him, it didn't take much effort to absorb mana, at most it was a few hours of delay in a meditative state. As for the carrier left after absorbing the mana, what does he want that thing for?
Thinking of this, Lukka nodded and said, "Deal." It's just that it may take a few hours to study this thing, and I hope you will provide an undisturbed room and keep me safe while researching. β
"Then it's settled. Mores smiled with satisfaction, "But when it comes to safe rooms, in the entire temple, what better hall can there be?"
Lukka thought about it for a moment and had to agree with him. This hall is the only room surrounded by a first-class inscription. If Mores hadn't deliberately left a way to capture the Imperial agents alive, and caught up with Lukka and Daniel to accidentally break in, the two agents would have wrapped the entire Knight Temple into a vegetable greenhouse, and they wouldn't have been able to enter here.
Seeing that Lukka did not object, Mores called a few low-level knights to give a few words, and quickly cleaned up the already messy hall.
The knights moved quickly, and after ten minutes, the corpse of the dead agent had been removed, and even the blood on the ground had been wiped clean. The agent, who was still unconscious, was bundled up and carried out.
In front of Lukka was a large desk with all kinds of tools: pen and paper, ink, ruler, compass, magnifying glass, protractor...... There was even a large row of glass bottles containing colorful potions, with slips of paper labeled various reagents that Lukka had never even heard of.
Sighing at the efficiency of the Sea Knights, Luca sat down at the table. Absorbing the energy of the source of mana here was a bit different from his plan, but now that Daniel was nearby, and with the protection of the Sea Knights who had to follow his orders, it seemed to be a lot safer here than on the Peregrine Falcon on the docks.
If you move quickly, you might be able to get back before dinner. Thinking so, Lukka placed the walnut box in front of him and reached out to open it.
The box wasn't locked, and it looked like Mores should have seen the contents a long time ago. The bottom of the box is lined with red velvet, and on the soft surface, lies an old compass that is not at all worthy of this box.
The glass surface of the compass had turned black, and Lukka narrowed his eyes, and it was hard to see the crooked hands underneath, the fragile hands swaying slightly, and the direction was also messy.
Is this inherently broken, or is it too much of a magic force to point properly?, Lukka pondered, and stretched out his right hand, covering the glass shield of the compass.
Nothing he had expected happened.
There is no burning sensation of magic flowing from the fingers into the brain, no faint vertigo of being instantly pulled into the spiritual starry sky, and no satisfaction of the gradual filling of the magic pool. There is no energy attached to this compass at all!
A second later, Luca realized that he was wrong.
It is true that there is no magic attached to the compass, but it is not that there are no other powers. The huge energy snapped his hand away, and the ensuing vibration and faint roar startled everyone's hearts.
However, the effect of this power ended here, neither continuing the pursuit of Lukka, who was recklessly reaching out, nor sending any warning to the surrounding onlookers with any sound and light effects. As if it were just a small flying insect that had accidentally hit its face, it bounced Lukka away and lay dormant again.
"What is this?" asked Mores, having touched the compass countless times without getting any feedback.
Lukka recalled the moment he came into contact with that power, although it was only a short moment, but the power broke through all his defenses without hindrance, you know, Lukka has undergone a lot of training in the spiritual realm, but at the moment of contact, he completely fell into a state of madness, all his thoughts were broken, and in a different way, it spread in his mind in a chaotic way.
This power seemed to be somewhat similar to the power of the Goddess of the Sea and the Lord of Storms that he had come into contact with before, but it was completely different. It was an older, more powerful force.
He uttered a term that he didn't want to believe: "Divine power." β
