Chapter 39: The King's Gift
found that the target was so unbelievable, and it did not affect Mogan's conditioning state.
He quickly came back to his senses, maintaining at least the calm and calm on the surface, but he was still holding back complicated emotions in his heart.
Nor can it be said to be angry.
Mainly to the point now, Mogan really wants to see what Lucifer is planning, so that in the process, he can let himself, who is in his early twenties, reach the point of fighting against the strongest mage in the continent within the three years of the plan.
This desire for knowledge even overtook Mogan's reason for a while, leaving him no longer entangled in how to refuse a showdown and how to maintain a responsible attitude in moral choices.
Anyway, the "trial" is already a good thing, if it is really not feasible, but the king is whimsical, then of course it can be abandoned; If there is really a reason to achieve the goal, then take one step at a time, and there is really no way to say it.
Mogan managed to convince himself while following in Lucifer's footsteps.
He also recalled some of the details of the previous agreement: the time and place were confirmed, and because the morning was changed to the evening.
What will be a gift that takes a certain time and a certain place to "unwrap"?
Filled with thoughts, he came to the edge of the coast, and Mogan suddenly realized that it was midnight.
The seashore seen during the day is different from the present, the night is dark and the stars are shining.
Lucifer took out a delicate locket from his bosom, opened the lid, and removed the small ball embedded in it.
The ball is the size of a thumb. It is more like a child's marble toy than a special prop, and it should be the appearance that few children will love, but because of its dark gray and inconspicuous color, it is held in the palm of Lucifer's hands by both hands.
Just when Mogan was still wondering why he was holding such a small thing in two hands, a sudden change occurred.
When the marbles came into contact with the outside world and were infused with power, the surface suddenly became bright, and the appearance of a little star appeared on the bleak appearance. Before Mogan could take a closer look at the pattern, the marbles swelled.
It took only a dozen seconds for the dim ball to grow to the size of a human head, and its inconspicuous appearance became translucent.
Dotted with "stars" scattered around, and the entire translucent crystal ball floated in the air, above Lucifer's hands.
His Majesty recited a mantra silently, then withdrew his hand and the crystal ball hovered in place on its own.
Seeing the white dots in the sphere flickering quietly, Mogan naturally knew that this would not be an ordinary "viewing ball".
"Speaking of which, the material of this thing is a specialty of the Star Dome Sea, and it is the hometown product of the mermaid and mermaid you mentioned during the day, and it should be a priceless treasure now. But now the most valuable thing in front of us is not in the material. ”
Lucifer stared at the stars floating in the center of the crystal ball, his gaze meditating, as if in thought.
"This is the 'Stardust Crystal Ball', which is usually used for tracking, and I use it to track your own compound spell, 'Chasing Magic', which was originally inspired by its function - Mogan Grande, what do you know about the archmage of the Crowley Kingdom?"
Suddenly his full name was called, and Mogan was a little surprised.
"The archmage of the Kingdom of Crowley is a wind mage named Julia Winter."
Every country or race has several great magician-level figures, but there is only one rightful great magician.
As for the archmage of the kingdom of Crowley, he could remember this clearly, mainly because according to his mother, the Hurricane Demon Dragon Cesilia, she had seen the archmage on the edge of the battlefield thirty years ago.
Because the other party is very strong and is still a mage of the same attribute, Cecilia was quite excited about this, and was always ready to fight.
But for some reason, the great magician who belonged to the Crowley Kingdom not only did not participate in the war, but also visited the Kingdom of Kol without any scruples after the war, and at the same time invited Cecilia of the Wind Genus to exchange wind magic, but was politely rejected by the new queen who came forward instead.
"My mother made a quid pro quo with her that she would inject her magic into the star crystal ball and recite the specified incantation. After that, no matter where she is in the world, as long as she touches the surface of the crystal ball and pronounces her name in full, she can let the stardust inside guide her direction, and thus track her location. ”
Lucifer said lightly, turning his head to look at Mogan.
"Grand Magician Winter is more than three hundred years old, and it is a rare Grand Magician-level task of this age who has not completely retired and has extremely deep qualifications and still serves the country. She was most famous for her heyday a hundred years ago, when I was relatively young. In addition to her, according to my mother, there should be hundreds of great mage-level figures for thousands of years who have left their imprints, and the living can track them in this way. ”
Truth be told, this so-called quid pro quo intrigued Mogan. Being able to track your crystal ball imprint for the rest of your life is not a small quid pro quo.
Thinking about it, I also know that if this kind of thing falls into the hands of my enemy, I am afraid that the person concerned will be chased behind in the ass for the rest of his life, and there will be no peace in the future.
Maybe the Great Magician, proud of his strength, was not afraid of this situation? But there will always be times when you get tired.
But Mogan also wanted to ask for an answer that few people knew. "Your Excellency, how old are you?"
"There's no need to get used to honorifics." Lucifer reminded again after a long absence, but did not hide it, "One hundred and thirteen." In fact, at my age, I am not very tall among the great magicians, and I have not even reached ...... Never mind. ”
Seeing that he suddenly wanted to speak and stopped, subconsciously omitting some kind of information, Mo Gan squinted.
"So it's more than that simple to give me this thing, because it can find someone to help?"
Lucifer nodded, "As I said, there's almost no magic in the world that I don't know. But in contrast, these mages have their own areas of magic that they are good at, and their comprehension of the mastery part may be deeper. ”
Mogan raised an eyebrow, "Does that mean that I should use these things to find them and seek their teachings?" ”
According to this logic, this is the idea of what is generally available for tracking items.
But this time, Lucifer shook his head.
"You can't surpass me in magic in three years, a hundred years is a luxury. My plans are mostly other content, and I need to travel with you to give you access to special powers, as well as essential items. Besides, I haven't updated the crystal ball records, and most of the mages who left their mark are long dead - recording information is an inherent rule of the kingdom of Lestus, but it has been lost for a long time. ”
Mo Gan, who didn't expect this situation, was really a little puzzled.
So, what is this crystal ball actually used for?
"This information is just a by-product, and you can try it if you need someone to help you. Also, there's one more thing you need to keep in mind. Lucifer's eyes were very solemn, "I don't need you to defeat me, I need you to kill me." Mogan Grande, even if you can defeat me in the future, I am dying, and I have countless magic to help me escape and disappear - you must be able to find me. ”
His continuous, uninterrupted sense of "I" substitution was so strong that it couldn't help but make Mogan feel rather strange, but Lucifer didn't care.
With that, Lucifer Lestus put his hand on the crystal ball.
His Majesty seemed to be so cautious that he even closed his eyes. This is an auxiliary movement that the mage needs to do when he is chanting with all his heart and concentration in order to achieve full concentration. It had never been seen in him before, as it was usually not needed.
At the same time, Lucifer was chanting a spell that was shorter than most intermediate magic spells.
Although spells are divided into different types of different languages, and belong to different ancient language systems because of the different origins and races of their inventions, this happens to be one of the more familiar ones for Mogan, and belongs to a branch of the ancient languages of the human race.
He was able to understand and translate the meaning simply.
[My name is Lucifer Lestus, and at the invitation of the God of Light, I buried the brand of eternity here. May the gods be eternal. 】
With the clear chanting sound, the magic infused into Lucifer's hand poured into the crystal ball, which immediately appeared, and converged into the focal point, forming a dazzling ball of light, like a glimmer of dawn in the small world of the crystal ball.
Then, the ball of light quickly shrank, faded, and dimmed, and soon disappeared in the faint light of the stars.
