……………………………………………………………………………
The two-handed giant sword in Lucien's hand was simple and unpretentious, with a restrained edge and a faint sheen that contained a sacred and solemn flavor. But what made Leo's body and voice tremble was not its possible high value, but its
It looked very familiar, very similar to the two-handed giant sword he saw Ivanovsky holding when he was chasing Lucien that night.
"Leo, you have a good eye. This two-handed giant sword is called the Purifier, and its last owner was Ivanovsky. When he was chasing me, I killed him in turn."
Lucien smiled calmly and said that he was not worried at all that the exposure of the "Purifier" sword would make people suspect that he knew the existence of the undead world, because at that time Ivanovsky used his outstanding and superb "acting skills" to
"Let everyone believe that he is here to chase him, instead of escaping towards the gap in the undead world at the bottom of the mine.
And in the process of chasing him, it is not strange for him to be killed in a remote mountain forest with the help of terrain, traps arranged in advance, powerful magic items, etc., especially when Nikonov did not find anyone fighting at the bottom of the mine.
There are no traces of Ivanovsky in the world of the dead, so the previous inference is the only "real" result without a doubt.
In addition, it is not easy for a mid-level magician to charm, hint, and control a strong-willed knight. If he encounters a "disturbing" bloodline like Ivanovsky, it will be impossible.
.His resistance to magic is very high. Combined with his own will, only a high-level magician can charm and control him. However, if he wants to ask about the existence of the world of the dead from his mouth, he cannot subconsciously know it.
Secrets that dare to be revealed require at least nine-ring magic to "invade the mind", otherwise once asked, it will be like being controlled to commit suicide by being sober due to strong violation of physical and mental will.
In fact, the opposite is also true. If Ivanovsky had not been caught and tortured, the possibility of finding out this secret was extremely slim, and the big shot behind him would not have told him about the existence of the undead world and how to enter it.
Comparing the list of saints who opposed the Pope at the Supreme Theological Council with the list of cardinals who besieged Wilfrid, the "Pale Lord", Lucien believed that he had stood in front of the secret door that could shock the whole world.
Being able to detect the problem, he has a deeper understanding of the value of the world of the dead, and understands that once his knowledge of its existence is exposed, not to mention others, at least the current popes and saints of the Northern Church will definitely ignore it.
He took action to kill himself with dignity.
The Northern Church clearly laid out these two lists in front of the world without worrying about others seeing them. This is because the prerequisite for understanding the real weirdness of these two lists is that one must understand the identity of "The Pale Lord" Wilfrey.
Although De is not missing, he has a secret relationship with the missing legendary magicians. They conducted a mysterious experiment together, and he knows about the existence of the necromancy and the secrets about immortality hidden deep in the necromancy.
Most of these people can guess something without looking at these two lists.
Therefore, even if the Magic Council collected the historical data of the Northern and Southern Churches, they could not find anything from them.
After Leo heard Lucien's plain answer, although he was only middle-aged, his face with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes suddenly became blank and empty, as if the meaning of his own life had suddenly disappeared, and his hands were visibly
Trembling, showing the turbulent emotions in his heart that could not be calmed down.
Lucien looked at him quietly without saying a word. After five minutes, Leo forced a smile with complicated emotions and said, "Thank you, sir, for avenging me."
There was strong joy and deep regret, loss and confusion in his voice.
Lucien understood his feelings very well, because if it were him, if he had not killed the enemy who killed his whole family with his own hands, and witnessed his death with his own eyes, he would have felt the same loss and regret.
"The dead will eventually pass away..." Lucien spoke slowly, preparing to comfort Leo with a few words, but Leo interrupted Lucien a little abnormally, "Master, please allow me to go and be quiet for a few minutes.
"
As Lucien nodded slightly in understanding, Leo walked towards a boulder nearby. His pace seemed calm and steady, but after taking a few steps, he almost tripped over a small stone and a tree root, and his tall body stumbled forward.
.
After arriving at the boulder, Leo knelt down on one knee without any scruples about the image, kissed the dry moss on the stone with his lips, drew an orthodox cross on his chest with his right hand, and murmured "Diana" to himself.
, "Xiaomi Hail" and other names.
Lucien took a few steps to the side without eavesdropping on what he was praying. Knights who grew up in the country where the church belongs, no matter whether they truly believe in the God of truth, whether they completely violate the church's "Holy Scripture", whether they do
When they engage in blasphemous things, when their moods are agitated, and when they are unconscious, they will make signs of the cross and pray. This is a deep imprint engraved on them by being preached since childhood and being taken in and out of churches by their parents before they had the ability to discern.
, has nothing to do with piety.
"Childhood experiences do greatly affect everyone's behavior patterns... This can also be used as a direction for arcane research." Lucien thought divergently.
A few minutes later, Leo slowly walked back. He said a little tiredly: "Master, let's set off and leave Ural State quickly. The night watchmen and knights are chasing around like mad dogs. If I hadn't been smuggling nearby,
Many times, I'm afraid it's difficult to avoid them."
He has brought back the complex emotions of bitterness, relief, loss, regret, sadness and joy to the bottom of his heart, and is conscientiously fulfilling his duty as a guide and fulfilling his obligations.
Then he took out a pair of boots painted with dark gold patterns: "Sir, these are the boots I picked up from the corpse of the magician. They seem to have the ability to teleport over short distances."
"The boots of dodge, a three-pole medium magic item, can improve the magician's agility to the level of a three-pole knight. At the same time, the three-ring magic 'short-distance teleportation' is used twice a day."
After Lucien checked the boots, he smiled and agreed with Leo's suggestion: "Okay, let's go directly through the Ural Mountains. The monsters here are still within my ability, and I have a magician's cabin."
After saying that, Lucien comforted him again: "Leo, when you get to Alto, just stay there and don't go back to the Eastern Exile. I think you should reconsider the matter of your descendants. This
Take the Purifier's two-handed giant sword first, it will come in handy when dealing with monsters in the mountains."
Hearing the word "descendant", Leo's expression became complicated again. In this world where blood inherits power, title, property and glory, most people attach great importance to their descendants.
Leo silently took the "Purifier" as if he was thinking about something, looked at it carefully, then carried it and opened the way in front of Lucien.
…………
The evening of the twentieth day of the late spring month (April).
A carriage drove into the small town of Massawa from the northern province of Tilan, which was only half a day's journey from Alto.
Accompanied by "butler" Leo, the "blond" Lucien stepped out of the carriage and walked into the familiar hotel, while looking at the seemingly crowded crowd around him.
"On April 9th, 416th year of the Holy Calendar, I set out from Alto and arrived here. It was almost exactly three years before and after." Lucien thought with some emotion, and a feeling of intimacy arose in his heart. It seemed that
It feels like returning to "hometown" soon.
After leaving the Ural State, Lucien and Leo traveled all the way through the depths of the mountains and encountered many monster attacks. However, they relied on the magical power of the fourth ring to solve them and successfully arrived at the northern fortress.
In view of the fact that the northern fortress was guarded by two legendary strongmen, the "Glory of God" and the "Giant Serpent of Chaos", Lucien and Leo took a long detour, climbed through the towering snow peaks, and entered Waori.
However, it also delayed a lot of time. The trip that was supposed to arrive at the end of March was postponed to late April.
Massawa is a small town and does not directly belong to the Grand Duke, so this hotel is not very particular. The lobby is a restaurant. Many guests with different accents and different costumes are dining, and they do not have the so-called aristocratic etiquette when dining.
Talking to each other enthusiastically.
"This 'Aalto Music Festival' is much worse than three years ago, but it can be regarded as a grand festival of mainland music. I couldn't bear to leave and stayed for more than an extra week." A person wearing a silk shirt showed his wealth.
The wealthy middle-aged man said to the three guests sharing the table with him.
Lucien only woke up after hearing these words. This year is the year of the Alto Music Festival again. Unfortunately, he could not catch up: "But that's good. Natasha should have come out from the bottom of the monastery. We need to contact her first."
Otherwise, wouldn’t she be underestimating the church’s ability to collect intelligence by just going back as a musician?”
Since he had won the Holm Crown Award and had a good reputation in the Magic Council, Lucien did not care and continued to disguise himself, because the church had probably already connected the genius magician Lucien Evans X and the great musician Lucien
?Evans got connected.
Under the signal from Lucien's eyes, Leo walked up to the middle-aged man and asked politely: "Hello, sir, the tables in the hall are full. Only your long table has room. I don't know.
Can we sit here."
Lucien hoped to find out more about recent events and news from friends before returning to Alto, and wait until tonight to build the finally completed "Professor's Infrasound Resonance" into his soul as his fifth four-ring magic.
, we will set off directly to "go back" to Aalto tomorrow.
"No problem. People who rushed to Alto during this period are returning one after another, and the hotels along the way are very crowded." The middle-aged man saw that Lucien had a handsome appearance, elegant manners, and a butler. He seemed to be a nobleman, so he was very
I politely agreed, and the other three guests had no objections.
With Leo serving, Lucien sat down at the dining table and said with a smile: "Hello, I am Michelle from the Kingdom of Syracuse. I don't know how to call you?"
"I am Glinton, who travels between the Dark Mountain Fortress and Alto and Tria to do business." The middle-aged businessman replied with a smile, and the other two male and one female guests also introduced themselves.
Lucien pretended to sigh with regret: "I originally went to Alto specifically to attend the music festival, but unfortunately I encountered a lot of bad luck on the way. As a result, I was delayed for more than ten days and missed the music festival. What a pity.
From what you said before, Mr. Glinton, it seems that you have just returned from Alto. Can you tell me about the music festival?"
"This is really a regrettable experience." Glinton said with understanding. "In fact, this music festival is very good, but it is just because the music festival three years ago was unprecedentedly grand and full of profound significance for music changes and the inheritance of the times.
, so in comparison, this music festival without the participation of two great musicians, Master Christopher and Mr. Lucien Evans, seems much ordinary, which makes many people slightly disappointed."
"Of course, Mr. Victor's concert at the Chant Hall was equally beautiful and full of real musical flavor, showing a superb level." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
