There were several levels of lockpicking, and Lukka didn't have time to study the complexity of the lock, and since Thea couldn't open it, he simply threw over the highest level lockpicking technique he could use.

In the eyes of many people, this magic is at most just a "life hack", far less powerful than other spells, but Lukka himself knows that as a fourth-level spell of the prophecy system, the magic power it contains is definitely not small. In the face of this spell, even if the lock is enchanted, it should be opened immediately.

But as soon as Luca's flow of mana touched the surface of the lock, he felt like he had collided with a force that was not unfamiliar: the divine power of the Lord of the Storm.

He'd encountered this power several times, first on the ship that rescued Nora, then once at Cecil in the Imperial Laboratory, and several times at sea and in Corvey's courtyard.

However, in the past, the power of those contacts was suspended in the sky, and its influence was poured into the air with strong winds and thunder. For Luca, it can only be regarded as a long-term view.

This time, his magic flow actually touched this divine power.

In Luca's impression, this divine power has always been arrogant and brutal, forever appearing in the sky in the form of absolute power.

But the storm power on this lock is different, it limits itself to the diameter range of less than thirty centimeters on the surface of the lock, even if Thea tosses so much just now, it does not exert that breathless sense of oppression, but quietly pops open the hairpin that sticks into the keyhole.

The moment Luca's mana flow came into contact with the divine power, the situation changed. The sound of the thunderstorm followed the magic power he had condensed, and it didn't fall at all, making his brain roar.

If it weren't for the amethyst staff in his hand to stabilize the flow of magic power that was running around him, the convergence of this magical power and divine power might have caused an explosion in this storehouse.

Lukka retracted the mana flow in time and adjusted it for a while before stabilizing his breath and the mana surging in the spiritual starry sky.

"Are we locked up here?" Thea asked.

"Maybe this is a warehouse, and I'm afraid I'll lose something so I'm going to lock it?" Nora still had a glimmer of hope, "Why don't we call the door and take a look?"

Lukka wasn't as optimistic as she was, but with the idea of giving it a try, he knocked twice on the door panel and shouted, "Is anyone outside?"

All that answered him was the echo of the empty storeroom.

"Big deal, tear down the door!" Daniel raised his staff, pushing Lukka aside.

The moment the tip of the scepter touched the door panel, the divine power on the lock changed shape, from a ball condensed into a ball to a membrane covering the entire door, and the scepter effortlessly bounced five or six meters away, of course, Daniel was still attached to the scepter.

The dust fell, and Daniel rubbed his arms and got up from the ground. While the others weren't as able to see the power as Luca was, the momentum was enough to tell what was trapping them.

Lukka was about to speak, only to find that the Storm Divine Power changed again, covering the entire room from a single door, enveloping them completely.

The wooden door was slowly pushed open as if it had never been locked.

The priest in the gray robe walked in, and as he walked, the cage of divine power gradually shrank around Lukka.

It's a good thing we didn't change our clothes, Lukka thought and took a step forward.

"Priest, is there something wrong with your door?" he asked, in the usual tone of a black market employee, as if he were just an innocent porter trapped here.

The priest narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

Of course, Lukka knew that he was not convincing enough, he didn't have time to put on the mask, and he still held the amethyst staff in his hand that should have been in the box, and Daniel's scepter was also shining with gold.

One can only hope that this priest is stupid. Lukka thought, his judgment was not completely outrageous, the other party was not young, but he was still wearing the clothes of the lowest priest, and he was extremely foolish when he checked his identity just now, obviously he shouldn't be an important person with a flexible brain.

The other party still had a smiling expression, walked up to Luca, stared at his face with interest for a while through the cage formed by divine power, and nodded lightly: "So you look like this, those portraits are really outrageous." ”

"What portrait?" Luca asked.

"That's what the wanted ones are. The other party suddenly stopped as he spoke, and patted his head, "Oh, you see my memory, I forgot to introduce myself." ”

He took a step back and said in a solemn tone, "Captain Lester, meet for the first time. My name is Ian Hale, and I am currently the High Priest of the Storm Temple and the Prime Minister of the Brohn Empire. ”

Lukka was stunned, he hadn't seen Hall himself, this guy hadn't shown up when he was in the Elite Fleet, and he had missed all his performances perfectly.

"Hey, haven't you seen this guy? Why didn't you recognize it?" Shut up and flew over Phil's head, clawing at his hair in a mess.

"That was decades ago, how could I remember it so clearly, and besides, he was in his thirties at the time, so how could I recognize him right away?" Phil defended.

"But he doesn't look old now!" Thea said.

Lukka looked Hale up and down, and the other party laughed out loud: "Captain Lester, a person who serves the Lord God wholeheartedly, the years often leave no traces, this is probably my pious reward." ”

"If you want to say that, then you should give way to me!" Phil exclaimed, and no one in the entire Sunset Islands could surpass him if he was more permanent than the child's face.

Luca frowned suddenly: "I don't care what kind of rejuvenation technique you used, this trap was set by you in advance?"

"It's not a trap, and even if I could ask for divine help, it would be difficult to catch you, as you know for sure, Captain Raist. Hall replied.

"You're not arresting us, so let's go?" Lukka said as he stepped forward.

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, Captain Lester. Hall waved his hand again and again, "I really don't have the ability to catch you, this time you fell into my hands, it is completely the power of silver coins!"

"Silver?"

"That's right, I submitted an order to the black market, and you're not cheap!" Hale said, turning to shout out the door, "I've already inspected the goods, Mr. Marchit." The balance will be paid to you immediately. ”

Marcette's figure appeared at the door: "Are you sure it's okay? Once the payment is paid, it can't be refunded." ”[.]
