Chapter 40: The Late Night Knocker

——Please give me Sanjiang tickets, everyone can get one every day~

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lucien judged from the grammar of the owl's speech that it was not a magician's deformed one, but a magic pet. After every magic apprentice starts learning magic, he can summon it and make a magic contract as long as he has the casting materials.

familiar,

Different casting materials will lead to different summoned familiars. There are ordinary creatures such as owls, cats, and crows, as well as magical creatures such as fairies and "dragons". After a magic contract is signed, each familiar will establish a close relationship with its owner.

, the mysterious connection allows the master to obtain some of his own abilities, and he can also borrow some of the master's magic that suits him.

For example, if a cat is summoned as a familiar, the magic apprentice's agility will be improved to that of a high-level knight's attendant, and he will also gain night vision. The cat can borrow apprentice-level magic similar to the "Light Forbidden Technique", "

Magic such as "Preserve Organs", as well as necromancy magic, and then gain the ability to speak and simple thinking.

However, the amount and frequency of magic that a demon pet can borrow depends on the number of magics that the master's mental power can cast continuously. When the mental power is not enough to cast two magics in a row, the demon pet cannot borrow it, and the master has to borrow magic from the demon pet.

The acquired abilities will not increase as the familiar's level increases. If the familiar dies or the magic contract is terminated, the acquired abilities will also disappear, and there may even be a certain degree of decline that can be restored.

Therefore, Lucien has never made up his mind to summon a magic pet. Although in the long run, it is equivalent to having an extra clone of himself, and in the short term, it can improve his strength. However, his own situation is special. Establishing this mysterious connection,

It's very possible that your biggest secret will be exposed.

Looking at the strange owl Doro, Lucien pretended to be very scared and replied: "No, no magician has really come to see a witch, at least, I haven't seen one."

The owl flapped its wings: "Very good, you are not lying. According to Mr. Doro's observation, there is indeed no other magician who has come to see the witch. Next, the second question, you and the church guard went to look for the witch's magic experiment.

When you were in the room, what did you see and what happened?”

"An owl also knows how to deceive people by using the problems it knows first..." Lucien cursed secretly in his heart, and then changed the things he encountered when he went down, except that his soul broke through the boundaries, to taking advantage of Gary's accidental stimulation.

In addition to the Holy Emblem of Truth, he told it exactly as it was. As for the fact that the Soul Library recorded the magic books and notes at the same time as they were destroyed, no one could even think of it if he didn't mention it.

"This is really a tragedy!" Doro the owl sighed emotionally, and then flapped its wings twice, "Very good, Sir Doro is very satisfied with your answer. Good night, young man."

Then it quickly flew out of the open wooden window.

Watching the owl leave, the fear and panic on Lucien's face immediately disappeared. He blew out the candle, then quickly put on a black linen robe with a hood that he had just successfully sewn, and quietly opened the door.

, go out, close.

It was dark outside, and there were no lights in the slum area of ​​Adrang. Lucien spread his spiritual power, and soon sensed a weak spirit that he had quietly left behind on the owl Doro, which was difficult for others to detect.

Power mark.

This is a situation where he has been unable to practice spellcasting recently. Lucien combined his previous knowledge of frequencies, fluctuations, and radars to use a variation of mental power marks. It will definitely not be effective against formal magicians, but magic apprentices and magic pets, as long as

If you are a little careless, it will be difficult to notice that you have been left with a mental mark.

"Fortunately, this owl doesn't fly too fast, and it's still in my mental induction. Judging from its level, its owner should still be a magic apprentice." Lucien breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flew in the darkness.

Running on the ground, once it exceeds 500 meters, Lucien's mental power will no longer be able to sense the mental power mark that fluctuates at a special frequency.

Although the owner of the owl is just a magic apprentice, Lucien is still in danger if he follows him like this. After all, he doesn't know what the situation is there, whether there are other magic apprentices, or even magicians.

However, this certain danger is still worth taking for Lucien, who really wants to get in touch with the circle of magicians and find a place where he can learn magic openly. He will wait and observe carefully before deciding to act. Moreover, he still has

There is the second-level magic ring "Ice Avenger".

Owl Doro didn't know that Lucien had left a mental imprint on him, so he didn't fly with all his strength. On the contrary, in order to attract attention to Alto, who was not under the control of the church, he flew very carefully and secretly.

But even so, its flying speed was still faster than Lucien's dare not run at full speed.

So after ten minutes of tracking, Lucien was already nearly 400 meters away from the owl Dorothy. This was because it occasionally stopped and hid, or pretended to fly like an ordinary owl.

But at this moment, the owl Doro folded its wings and slid into a window without any movement in the dark night.

Lucien ran closer, slowed down, and quietly walked around the building. Then he was very surprised to see the building's sign:

"The Bronze Crown Tavern"!

"Could they be mercenaries? There are magic apprentices among the adventurers?" Lucien thought doubtfully, and noticed that the window was in the leftmost room on the second floor of the Copper Crown Tavern, which was a very convenient location for escape.

Wearing the Ice Avenger behind his left index finger, Lucien walked around to the back door of the Copper Crown Tavern, whispered a strange monosyllable that was difficult to pronounce, without using any casting materials, and left a faint shadow on the door.

"Silent Portal" is an apprentice-level illusion magic that can cover up the sound of opening and closing doors. The effect lasts for up to one hour, but within this hour, it can be lifted at Lucien's will.

Then, Lucien waited for a few seconds and continued to perform the "switching technique" that did not require casting materials. A transparent and invisible light shot out from his hand and hit the door. The solid wooden door opened a gap without any sound.

Let Lucien sneak in quietly.

After closing the back door again, Lucien directly released the "Silent Portal" to prevent anyone from discovering the fluctuations in magic.

Even in the tavern, the Copper Crown was much quieter at this time, especially near the back door. This allowed Lucien to quietly dodge the occasional people passing by and walk to the second floor.

Stopping quietly not far from the room, Lucien barely listened to the voices in the room through the weak mental imprint.

After a while, Lucien smiled, pulled his hood lower, and walked to the door.

…………

In the cool room, Smail leaned on a recliner that could rock back and forth, listening carefully to the report of his familiar owl Doro, holding a glass of amber wine in his hand.

"Dolan liqueur" has a low alcohol content and can significantly help you sleep.

Smile had become accustomed to Owl's grammatically weird narratives, and it didn't take long for him to figure things out completely.

He closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and then asked about Lucien's reaction at that time. After listening to the owl Doro's description, he rubbed his forehead: "It seems that he really has nothing to do with the witch, but this way Come on, I can’t find the gentleman who claims to be from the headquarters of the Mainland Magic Council. Hey, do I have to continue to hide..."

Just as he was sighing, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Smile stood up suddenly, with a serious expression on his face, and asked in a gentle voice: "Who?"

The owl Doro flew to the bed, hid under the blanket, and whispered: "Who could it be? Who could it be? Is it coming to grill Master Doro?"

A strange, deep, hoarse voice sounded outside the door: "I'm looking for Mr. Smile and the owl Doro."

"What?!" Doro the owl yelled from inside the blanket, almost flying up with the blanket.

Smile's magic was ready to go, but the mystery and weirdness of the man outside the door made him dare not act rashly: "I am Smile, I don't know Doro the Owl, who are you?!"

"I am a magician, and I met a witch by chance." The hoarse and low voice said calmly, "I have been secretly observing the ruins of the witch, trying to find the whereabouts of the gentleman from the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council. Unfortunately, , I saw your magic pet Doro today and heard its question, so I followed it all the way."

"What? It's because of me, Lord Doro?!" Doro the owl screamed in disbelief, and then sighed with great emotion:

"What a tragedy!"

Seeing that the other party did not call directly, Smile relaxed a little. If someone from the church came, how could he be so polite? When he heard the identity of the other magician, he naturally felt some intimacy, but he did not relax his guard because of this. : "Then perform the opening technique yourself and come in."

Although successive popes have transformed the basic part of divine magic, the essence of divine magic has not changed. It still comes from the "gift of God". The changes in the basic part have lowered the requirements for some divine magic that previously required higher levels to be obtained. , more new divine spells are gifted, and some of the divine spells that take a long time to master become easier to master. Therefore, one can clearly tell whether a magician or a priest is cast from a spell.

A wave of magic came, and the door slowly opened. Smile had to seize the opportunity when the opponent had just finished casting magic and was still in the buffer period. He used magic to catch the opponent first. Even if he had good intentions, he had to do it himself. Take the initiative.

However, as the door slowly turned, there was also an extremely cold and terrifying magical aura that came in, as if a very powerful magic was gaining momentum and was deliberately emitted.

"Formal magic?" Smail clearly found that this magical aura far exceeded any apprentice-level magic he could acquire. "Are you a formal magician?"

The door was completely opened, and Smail saw a mysterious man wearing a black robe, with a hood that completely concealed his face in the shadows. The terrifying, cold magical aura emanated from him.

And Lucien also saw clearly that this magic apprentice was the gloomy man with an aquiline nose and a tight black long coat that he had seen before in the Copper Crown Tavern.
