Unlike Vasilian, who exuded the tension of war everywhere, St. Lucas did not seem to take the war with Vasilian seriously at all, and the people went about their lives as usual, as if the peace in the world did not affect them at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Dan Ke also felt this.

It's been a day since the two of them infiltrated San Lucas.

This time, because they were two people, and they were not delayed by things along the way, the speed was much faster than last time, plus Dan Ke had already had the experience of a successful infiltration, and this infiltration did not take much effort. Danco and Marshall had infiltrated Hull, the main city of San Lucas, just a few hours earlier, and were hiding behind several abandoned baskets in an alleyway in the Southwestern Market, while Danco was watching with bated breath the movements of pedestrians on the street.

The ordinary people who came and went through the streets were dressed very differently from Vasilian. Since most of the cities of San Lucas are located in temperate and tropical zones, the climate is much hotter than Vassilian's, so people are also dressed more thinly. Most of them wore sleeveless shirts with several strips of cloth of various colors from shoulder to waist, and some wore high cloth hats on their heads, and some wore their faces hidden under the hoods, which reminded Danko of the attire of those churchgoers. Danko and they were dressed like pedestrians on the street at the moment, and their weapons were all put into a bag that could hold several times larger than their own volume enchanted with spells, and this bag was also one of the inventions popularized by Archbishop Joshua, although the knights would use this trick before, but they did not want to popularize it among the people. Although they no longer looked like the inhabitants of the area, Danko had given them spell protection to be on the safe side, making them nothing more than a few baskets in the alley to outsiders. Despite all the protection, Dan Ke didn't seem at ease, frowning and looking down the street from the mouth of the alley from time to time, Marshall behind him seemed to be full of questions, only to hear him ask:

"Boss, there's a question I've wanted to ask for a long time. ”

"Whatever the problem, you can say it directly. Dan Ke didn't take his eyes off the street for half a step, and replied without looking back.

"Where the hell did you learn those weird spells, the one you used against the black smoke that possessed John, the Miller battle against Roy the ghoul, and the illusion spell you used to confuse your enemies when we crossed the sea...... If you hadn't used this trick, we wouldn't have been able to pass through the sea full of enemy ships peacefully. These spells are not what we have been exposed to in the teaching of the Knights, and they are not the harvest of the trip to the Sanctuary back then, ...... you?"

"When did you stop asking questions like a newcomer?" Danco finally stopped staring at the street, but glared at Marshall, and there was a clear meaning in his eyes - "shut up." "There are some things I haven't told you because I don't want to, and I didn't bring you here for you to interrogate me, and I've experienced this several times before I set out. Maybe it's better to bring York, at least he knows when to shut up!"

"Alright, alright, I'll shut up!" said Marshall, reluctantly, "but let me say one last word, what have you been staring at the street all this time all this time on?"

Danco didn't answer right away, but asked Marshall, "What do you know about St. Lucas?"

"I only know that the history of St. Lucas is much older than Vassilian, it seems that it appeared nearly five hundred years ago, and the current king is Porutol, but over the years, St. Lucas has not had any economic and cultural dealings with us except for frequent invasions, and the spies sent to reconnoiter over the years have also been heard from without any return, and we know too little about them. ”

"Actually, there is a lot more to the top than we know. Before this trip, I got some information about San Lucas from above, from which I learned that the king of San Lucas, Porutol, was 64 years old, had no children, but had a daughter, who was known as the 'Princess Maranda'. Half of St. Lucas's military power is Duke Grady, his full name is unknown, he has exploded to ashes due to unknown forces when I infiltrated last time, and I don't know who replaced him now. ”

"It's really secretive here, and it's like a monkey to play us!"

"The last time I infiltrated, I also found some information, which is also recorded in the documents of the higher-ups, and it was only after I got the information that I realized that they already knew so much. St. Lucas has four men known as the 'Four Warriors', and their abilities are beyond ordinary people's imagination, and the combined strength of the four of them can fight against the entire kingdom. ”

"Who are they?"

"That's why we're hiding here at the moment. ”

"Why? You haven't told me what we're doing in this stinking alley?" Marshall waved away a few flies flying in front of his eyes, "shouldn't we investigate that door?"

Danko sighed impatiently, and then said, "I just said that we need to know as much as we can about our enemies, and when we split up before, I happened to hear that a big man from the kingdom will be visiting here today, and since we don't know anything about the identities of the four great warriors, we need to wait for the right time to find out." ”

"It's a hassle to sneak into surveillance or something!" Marshall shook his head, then stopped talking, and Danco watched the street with bated breath through the narrow alleyway.

The last time he infiltrated, Dan Ke was only focused on assassinating the king and did not observe the daily life of the people of San Lucas, but this time their mission was mainly an investigation, and Dan Ke had a chance to calm down and observe the lives of ordinary people. In less than a day's time, Danko discovered that the country's attitude towards magic was the exact opposite of Vassilian's, and instead of fearing the power of spells, people admired them a little. Perhaps it was influenced by the magic-friendly elves who used to live in this land.

In St. Lucas, spell artifacts are also very different from Vasilians. In the case of enchanting items, the learning that the Knights are exposed to is to enchant weapons through spells, although many times low-level spell enchantments do not have that lengthy list of spells, and they do not need to be pronounced aloud, but they still need to be silently recited in their hearts and passed on to the weapon with their thoughts to take effect. This was the same principle when York used his sword to unleash "Ember" on Yaquika, Clark used his spear to unleash slashes, and Danco expelled the black smoke that possessed John. In order to shorten the distance between the magic and the common people, Archbishop Joshua also improved this enchantment and used it in ordinary daily necessities, which is why those magic products such as scrolls for lighting and storage pockets appeared. This kind of enchantment can only be achieved by people who know advanced magic, and ordinary people can only obtain the finished product from those who know how to enchant, and cannot operate it themselves. Moreover, this enchantment also has a certain time limit, and when the mana is exhausted, it must be used to replenish the enchantment for the mages, otherwise it will become ordinary rags.

And here, Danko found something called "soul stone", which is sold everywhere on the streets, but the price varies greatly depending on the type, but most of them are more expensive. According to the vendor he questioned, the Soul Stone captures the soul of life, and the soul-filled Soul Stone is capable of permanently enchanting spells in runes to the target item. Spell runes are much cheaper than soul stones, because runes are no different from waste paper for ordinary people who have no spell ability and no soul stones, mages can release spells in runes at will, and ordinary people can only use runes for enchantment if they have soul stones. Therefore, as long as an ordinary person in St. Lucas has runes and soul stones, he can enchant items independently, and this enchantment is permanent, and there is no need to turn to a mage at all. Dan Ke also heard that soul stones can only imprison the souls of animals, and not many people can capture human souls, and it is even more prohibited. Most of the soulstones that can be bought on the street have been processed and filled with souls, so ordinary people don't have the heart to study the capture of souls.

"The soul stone we saw earlier is still a bit interesting, do you want to buy a few to study?" Dan could see that the atmosphere of surveillance was too dull, so he turned to Marshall and said.

"Why, you told me to shut up before, and now you're impatient?" Marshall snorted softly through his nose, his voice was very low, "I think that thing is some trick to deceive children, just use a broken stone, how can there be permanent mana available?"

"Don't forget that the obsidian stone we encountered before was just a broken stone!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, there seems to be a commotion outside, I'm afraid that some 'big man' has arrived!"

Danco and Marshall scurried to the mouth of the alley, and one of them stuck to the walls on both sides of the alley, carefully poking their heads out to observe the movement in the street, although they seemed to ordinary people to be just two waste baskets, but in the territory of St. Lucas, where the enemy's strength was unknown, it was better not to be measured by the level of ordinary people. At this moment, Danke, who was lurking at the mouth of the alley, remembered a similar scene a few months ago. It was also in an alley, and he was waiting for the opportunity to assassinate the king, but a voice in his head interfered and let the opportunity slip out of his hand. And the experience of not being able to distinguish between dream and reality in that corridor at the end, he felt that St. Lucas might be much more tricky than Miller.
