The night was dark, the silver moon did not appear in the sky, and even the bright stars were only visible to the naked eye.
Lucien stood behind the thick brown curtains of the hotel and quietly watched the night through the gap. He was a little disappointed in his heart, because without the silver moon shining, he could not fully exert the power of the "Moonlight" bloodline, except for speed.
Except for his agility and agility, which are equivalent to those of a formal knight, others are only at the level of a quasi-knight.
"Fortunately, we can see those stars, otherwise it would be very troublesome when we wait to calculate the entrance to the mystery lock." Lucien comforted himself.
The entrance to the "Grand Cross Star Frame" mystery lock will change according to the position of the star that borrows power, changing every ten minutes. Unless the sun rises and completely suppresses the effects of other stars, otherwise if the stars cannot be directly seen to calculate,
Lucien could only look through the thick stack of astrological charts and star tables in distress, calculate and summarize the past trajectories of the nine stars, and then calculate the current position. The amount of calculations was a bit large, "And there is no moonlight.
Well, the dark night is more suitable for hiding."
The big clock on the church steeple of the small town in the distance was running calmly. The hand just pointed to eleven o'clock. Lucien returned to the bedside and put on the black hooded coat he had brought out a few days ago.
He pulled down his hood and walked to the window. Just when Lucien was about to open a gap and escape, a wave of hesitation emerged from deep in his heart.
"The poems and manuscripts appeared too suddenly and too concentratedly. It seems that many people got a copy. The whole thing smells of conspiracy." Lucien originally thought that the church was using the Lilith brothers and sisters to test him, but
After learning from Rhine that the church had been unable to spare its manpower recently, and seeing a dozen mysterious strangers in Massawa town, I felt that the ruins were becoming more complicated and confusing, not like the style of the church.
"Furthermore, it takes six to seven months to get from Alto to Sturke. There is a high possibility that the Silver Moon Potion can be obtained from other sources, such as from Sturke's Magic Council liaison officer."
"Is it really necessary to take the risk?"
Since this is a unique mystery lock belonging to the legendary magician, Lucien believed that as long as he was not greedy and grasped the time difference, he would have a high chance of returning safely from the ruins, and he would not have to pay attention to other people's plots at all, but when he thought about it more, he realized
It seems that there is no need to take risks. Because it is not the only place where you can get the materials for the Silver Moon Potion. In about five years, when your mental power reaches a certain level through meditation, you can use your own analysis and mastery of the one-ring magic.
With your own knowledge structure and depth, you can build your own spell model without using any medicines and become a real magician.
But soon, Lucien remembered the meaningful look Rhine gave him before leaving, and he had a vague premonition through the destiny star. It seemed that something big was about to happen, and if he didn't have the strength to protect himself, he would probably die by then.
And: "The owner of the poems and manuscripts seems to have witnessed the creation of Lake Elsinore and the arrangement of the puzzle. Who is he?"
"The legendary magician who left the "Book of Astrology and Elements" has the title of 'prophet', and it is very likely that he arranged the mystery lock himself. Perhaps he once predicted something and left something in the mystery lock...
…”
Many thoughts arose in Lucien's mind, and many desires emerged in Lucien's body, which strengthened his determination to go to the magic ruins.
Opening the window, Lucien jumped out gently after turning into moonlight.
…………
In order to maintain his strength, Lucien arrived at the small town of Bonn on the shores of Lake Elsinore after a full hour.
This is a small town located on the edge of the dark mountains. It is remote and closed. Except for the occasional musicians, painters, etc. who come to collect music, it rarely communicates with the outside world.
There is no industry called "tourism" in this era.
But when Lucien sneaked into the town in the dark, what he saw was not closed and deserted. The only tavern in the town was brightly lit, and the unique accents of many places could be distinguished from the noise.
In a small room separated from each other on the second floor of the tavern, Sara and Lilith looked at each other sadly.
"Brother, what should I do? I thought we were the only ones who could interpret the manuscript through Mr. Evans and know the secrets of Lake Elsinore, the approximate range of the mysterious entrance after the sun rises, and the magic garden, but the small town of Bonn
Why are there so many people from other places on the Internet?" Lilith is not very young, but having grown up in a dangerous and repressive environment, she is by no means an ignorant girl. She strongly suspects that those outsiders are also because of the magical relics.
Sarah sighed softly: "The manuscript we got is incomplete, so Mr. Evans needs to find background information from historical documents to interpret it. They probably got the complete manuscript."
"I wonder if there are any official magicians or knights inside..." Lilith said worriedly. Because of the way the manuscript was obtained, she did not have any doubts about the spread of the manuscript.
Sara looked at her feet, as if she wanted to see directly through the floor to the first floor of the tavern, and then shook her head: "How can I tell among gentlemen of this rank, only those reckless ones have the best minds?"
The adventurer who is full of muscles has exposed his strength."
Sara didn't pay attention to adventurers with the strength of knights and servants at all. This was the self-confidence of a magic apprentice.
"Then can we go in tomorrow?" Lilith asked hesitantly.
Sara's expression changed complicatedly, and she answered after a while: "Let's take a look first, there is no need to fight with them, and there seems to be something wrong with the spread of the manuscript. Too many people know about it. We can't be in a hurry, anyway, the entrance to the ruins
It will last twelve hours."
He is sharper than his sister, but his greed makes him unwilling to leave.
Lucien was under their window, leaning against the wall of the back door of the tavern, looking at the stars in the night sky and calculating intently based on the nearby terrain he had figured out before.
Because this is a legendary level mystery lock, there are many "parameters" that need to be considered. Lucien calculated for half an hour before determining the location of the entrance.
After finishing the calculation, Lucien felt that he was dizzy and his brain was swollen. It was too exhausting.
Fortunately, there was still some time before the Mystery Lock was opened, so Lucien hid in a dark corner and quietly recovered.
…………
Early in the morning... just arrived, Lucien, who had completely returned to his peak both mentally and physically, came out of the dark shadows and carefully sneaked towards a civilian house in the town.
On a night when there was not much light, Lucien, dressed in black, seemed to blend into the darkness.
"Switch Technique" slight magic fluctuations appeared, and the closed door quietly opened. Lucien flashed into the house and locked the door behind him.
There was a man and a woman sleeping soundly in the bedroom, completely unaware of the stranger sneaking in.
After Lucien came in, he sat quietly on the wooden bench in the living room without making any other movements. He seemed very leisurely.
But in fact, Lucien was counting the time silently, and when ten minutes were approaching, he suddenly stood up and threw himself into a shadow in the corner of the living room.
This shadow looked normal, but after Lucien came into contact with it, his entire body became illusory and transparent, and then completely blended into the shadow and disappeared.
In less than ten seconds, the shadow disappeared.
…………
As soon as he threw himself into the shadow, Lucien felt as if he had passed through a thick curtain and was accompanied by severe dizziness.
When his dizziness recovered, Lucien was surprised to find that he was still standing in the living room of the civilian house just now, and the things around him were exactly the same as before.
"Didn't you enter the mystery lock?" Lucien looked around strangely and soon discovered something was wrong.
Everything in the house has lost its original color, leaving only three colors: black, white, and gray. The darkness at night has also become gray, making people feel unspeakable palpitations.
Lucien looked carefully and found that the sleeping host and hostess in the bedroom were also missing, and the whole room was only shrouded in a cold and lifeless gray.
Pushing open the door and cautiously walking to the street, the entire town of Bonn once again appeared completely in Lucien's eyes, but everything turned into black and white and gray, silent and cold, just like Lucien
The black and white photo I had seen in my previous life was painted with a light gray layer.
"And I deliberately walked hard without making any footsteps, as if I was in a black and white silent movie."
In the ultimate silence, Lucien muttered to himself, but still no sound was produced.
Recalling the experience just now and the physical feeling when he pushed the door open, Lucien probably understood that he had really entered the mysterious lock, but it was so weird and mysterious inside, filling people with a feeling of depression and panic. It was not a road at all.
Just as Sean expected.
As a magic apprentice in the astrology system, Lucien raised his head to look for stars as usual, but the sky was gray, with no stars, silver moon, or sun.
Sensing through the reflection in his soul that he was still connected to the Destiny Star, Lucien was a little relieved. Not to mention that magic could be used normally, at least he could still feel the existence of the main material world and was not completely isolated in the Mysterious World.
inside.
There were no humans, no wild dogs, no birds, no insects, no breeze, no colors. Everything seemed to be frozen in oppressive silence. Lucien walked slowly on the gray street. Although he maintained his composure and concentration,
But the strings in my heart were tightened, fearing that strange enemies and changes would suddenly appear.
According to the layout of the puzzle, Lucien determined the locations of several magic gardens, and then walked towards Lake Elsinore on the other side of "Gray Bonn Town".
Suddenly, Lucien, who was holding the "Vigilance" sword tightly, all the hairs on his body stood up, and a cold and cold feeling flowed through his heart, so he suddenly turned his head and looked to the side, and was ready to dodge.
The door of a house on the street slowly opened, and a seven or eight-year-old girl with two pigtails stood in the doorway with empty eyes. She also only had three colors: black, white, and gray.
The little girl smiled, but her eyes were still empty, and she didn't know who she was looking at.
…………
In the room where the shadow disappeared, two black figures appeared inexplicably. After searching everywhere without success, they left the door and ran towards a hidden place on the shores of Lake Elsinore.
"High Priest, according to your instructions, we found that the guy with Moonlight bloodline did enter Bonn, but he suddenly disappeared." One of the black figures reported to the mysterious man in silver robes on the altar.
Ilya in the silver robe sneered: "This little fish is actually here. As long as he hasn't left yet, wait patiently for dawn, don't ruin the plan because of him. We must let the guy who betrayed us
Received the most solemn hospitality.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
