In the next month, Lucien was like Borak who had regained his confidence and reason. He spent most of his time refining his bloodline and getting familiar with his strength, while the rest of his time was spent at various banquets, taking advantage of the excitement to cover up the situation.
, reached a preliminary "agreement" with many aristocratic children who had unclear ideas, and could only return to Bolak's remote villa in a short period of time, strengthen the effects of "suspended death" and "intense sleep", and give him
Supplement nutrients to prevent him from starving to death and not having enough time to conduct magical experiments on bloodline transformation.**
On this day, the sky was dark, lead clouds were pressing over the city, and the wind was freezing. It seemed that the first big snowstorm since the beginning of winter was about to come.
The ancient villa built by the Plantagenet family during the ancient Magic Empire is filled with a sinister atmosphere at all times. The smell of antiquity and decay seems to be breathable directly through the nose.
Lucien, who had put on an all-black knight uniform, had a tall and slender figure, and walked firmly and forcefully as he walked calmly into the bottom floor of the basement of the main house.
Several senior members of the Plantagenet family who had gathered here saw his demeanor. Regardless of whether they hated him or not, and whether they supported him or not, they all nodded lightly. Only with such performance can he be considered an outstanding member of the Plantagenet family.
He is "qualified" to compete for the title of Earl of Tiris.
"In just over a month, Borak was able to adjust his condition so well. Hey, has he inspired the power of his blood?" Nurembeck Van Anjou, Earl of Oldenburg, almost forgot to remove the thick
Put "Briana Cigar" in your mouth.
He is the strongest person in the Plantagenet family after the two Golden Knights, the eighth-level Heavenly Knight "Dim Starlight", so Lucien's undisguised steps and posture, the frequency of blood vessel expansion and contraction, etc. can be used to judge that the opponent has the qualifications of a knight.
strength.
Duke Plantagenet, seventh-level heavenly knight "Order Moon" Ulrich answered affirmatively: "He got some relics from his father, which successfully inspired the 'Silver Moon' bloodline."
"Beckman is favored by his uncle, so he must have a lot of treasures." Nürnbeck looked at the Duke with a half-smile. They had the same blond hair and blue eyes. They had deep outlines, but the Duke's hair was already a little gray.
The uncle he was talking about was Ulrich, the father of Beckmann and others, the previous Plantagenet Duke. It was rumored that he once wanted to leave the title to Beckmann, but during the test in the underground palace, the strength of the fifth-level knight suddenly broke out.
Ulrich successfully defeated Beckmann, the official knight who possessed many items, thereby establishing his identity as the heir.
The other Marquises and Earls of the Plantagenet family all looked at the old Duke with the same strange expressions. They even suspected that Beckman's untimely death was caused by the old Duke. Borak, who could not inspire the power of blood, was naturally not taken seriously by him.
But now, how will he treat Borak, who is calm, confident and powerful?
Plantagenet Duke Ulrich said with the indifferent attitude of a superior: "Although I personally don't like people who rely on items to achieve final victory, but the winner is the winner. He will not receive any condemnation and will definitely get everything he deserves.
.”
His disgusting and disdainful but fair and impartial attitude is clearly revealed.
"This is really excellent." Nürnbeck smiled meaningfully. He would have a certain amount of doubt about any high-sounding and righteous words, especially when the speaker was the Duke who had controlled the family for nearly forty years, Holy Haier.
There are many enemies within the empire who are eyeing the Plantagenet family. Not to mention the ambitious and unpredictable Emperor, who can help the family survive the ups and downs and grow stronger. There is no doubt about Ulrich's ability.
Imperial Emperor Rudolf II was the only terrifying figure after the first few ancestors of the God's Family who could be promoted to the legendary realm on the throne of the emperor. He gave himself the rather strange title of "New Law Creation".
There was a conversation between several big shots in front of the strange stone gate. Lucien had no way to join in. After receiving their greetings, he stood with Claire, Ralph and others who had already arrived.
Both Claire and Ralph pretended to have a cold and hostile attitude toward Lucien. They didn't say a word, and the situation was quite awkward and silent.
Within a few minutes, Alten, who was still wearing his gorgeous military uniform, along with Jocelyn, Duda and other aristocratic friends walked in and nodded politely to Lucien and others confidently and gracefully.
"You want to go in too?" Nurembeck asked in confirmation when he saw that Jocelyn, Duda and other aristocratic children were all fully armed.
Duda, who was wearing black full-body armor, was like a steel can. His voice came out from inside the mask: "Yes, Lord Earl. I am just a few steps away from becoming an official knight. My father hopes that I can pass this underground palace test."
The potential has been unleashed, and I believe that the magic circle in the Plantagenet family's underground palace can teleport us out in time. At most, we will be seriously injured but not dead."
The more afraid he is, the more he emphasizes it. Duda "perfectly" showed his worries.
"Don't worry, in addition to the protection of the magic circle, the 'Crown of Glory' Lord Midalon is also guarding the underground palace. The situation will not get out of control." Nurembeck has a good relationship with Duda's father, Count Bolti, and smiles to comfort his hidden feelings.
Nervous, but did not explain that there is a hidden protective force in the underground palace to prevent accidental death. After all, the nobles who participated in this test are powerful people behind them. The Plantagenet family is not afraid but does not want to offend them.
After hearing Nurembeck's words, Lucien closed his eyes to hide his sudden solemn gaze. Is the 'Crown of Glory' Midalon still in the underground palace? Things seem to be a bit troublesome and twists and turns.
He is one of the two golden knights of the Plantagenet family. Since he is almost three hundred years old, he is much older than Nurembeck and others, so he is respectfully called Your Excellency.
"With His Excellency Crown of Glory in the palace, we are completely relieved." Duda nodded on behalf of his group of noble friends.
Although many of the noble children who followed Alten had the strength of formal knights, and they were inspired by themselves, they were incompatible with the nobles from the Dark Mountains, the Principality of Violite at the forefront of the Shahran Empire's battles, and the northern provinces of the empire.
For example, they lack actual combat training. Even if they are thrown into the forest for training, they will only face ordinary monsters or beasts such as goblins and kobolds. They have no experience in fighting against knight-level enemies and experiencing bloody and terrifying scenes, like in the garden.
Flowers that have been well cared for show their brilliance with the excellence of their own blood.
At this time, they are about to face a real battle that can seriously injure and disable them, and they are inevitably full of tension.
Jocelyn, who was next to Duda, saw Nurembeck's gaze shift and showed a gentle smile: "Your Majesty the Earl, I am already an official knight and I want to fight with my fiancé."
The rose-colored close-fitting mail armor fully exposed her curvy and beautiful figure, causing many of the nobles behind Alten to peek at her with twinkling eyes.
Alten's face suddenly beamed with a strong sense of happiness, while Duda and other nobles all focused their attention on Lucien, wanting to see how dejected, jealous, painful, or furious he would be.
Lucien just smiled and watched their performance, as if he was watching a drowsy opera.
This reaction made Duda and Alten very disappointed. An aristocratic young man named Andris couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Borac, you are such a lady!"
There is no blood or impulse that a man should have!
Looking at the young man with brown hair and blue eyes, Lucien said with the attitude Borak should have: "I hope you won't kneel in front of me and beg for mercy."
"Hmph, what does a guy without the strength of a knight rely on to fight? Extraordinary items?" Andris deliberately angered Borac, focusing his eyes on the storage bag hanging on his belt. Is it the good stuff left by his father according to rumors?
"I can guarantee that you definitely don't want to see them." Lucien put the Crown Ring, the Crown of the Sun Talisman, etc. inside, and covered them with the Ogre's Monster Power Gloves, Frost Sword, and Dodge Boots. Anyway, underground
The palace test does not prohibit extraordinary items. After all, non-high-level people basically cannot use high-level and above things.
Just when Andris couldn't stand Lucien's attitude, a large number of people came in again from the basement entrance, with Deni with a ponytail walking at the front.
"Hi, dear Borak, I'm here to help you." Denis greeted without any scruples, but everyone's attention was not on him, but on the pure and beautiful blonde girl behind him. Lu
The only daughter of Daphne II, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia!
"Sophia, are you coming too?" Plantagenet Duke Ulrich frowned slightly.
Sophia's smile was clear, pure, and a little coquettish: "Yes. Uncle Ulrich, I want to try the legendary Plantagenet family trial, and I am a fifth-level warlock. Even without the protection of Ms. Manina,
The strength is also one of the strongest in the field.”
"But..." All the senior members of the Plantagenet family hesitated. If she died unexpectedly inside, how would the terrifying Emperor react?
"Uncle Ulrich, let me in, I will absolutely guarantee my safety!" Sophia blinked her eyes delicately and pointed to her chest quietly, indicating that in addition to strength, she also had other means to save her life, "Before
There are also members of the royal family entering, and I have obtained my father’s permission.”
The last person to participate in the Plantagenet Trials was Rudolf II himself, when he was still His Royal Highness.
After hearing His Majesty the Emperor's agreement, Ulrich said with a slightly gloomy face: "Then you must be careful."
Wow! Sophia cheered, walked to Lucien's side with Denis, pulled the skirt of her female milky white armor, and saluted with a sweet smile like pulling the hem of the skirt: "Please take good care of me, Borak.
gentlemen."
With a flowery smile and dazzling eyes, she is like a bright tulip that attracts countless bees and butterflies, making people unable to take their eyes away.
"I will do my best to protect you, Your Highness, even if it means losing my life." Lucien replied with an exaggerated operatic aria, filled with doubts in his heart. Why did Sophia enter the underground palace? Is there any secret hidden inside?
?Or simply help "Borak" become the heir to the Plantagenet family?
Could there be other changes in the smooth process of beating children?
Jealousy, vigilance, and hateful eyes emanated from the noble children on Alten's side, as if they were about to pierce Lucien. His face was very gloomy. Why would Her Highness the Princess fall in love with this waste? She is a fifth-level blood warlock!
Many aristocratic children's eyes wandered, their expressions changed, and they were considering whether to change sides. At present, it seems that with the strong support of Her Royal Highness, coupled with the princess's "good sister" Deni, Borac has a very high chance of winning.
!
The situation seemed to have undergone a subversive change all of a sudden!
Suddenly, a deep voice came from the basement door: "Uncle Ulrich, I want to participate too."
Countless eyes looked at the door in astonishment, and saw a tall blond man striding in. His facial features were delicate but not soft, he was calm and tough.
Lucien, who guessed his identity from his somewhat similar appearance to Sophia, became even more confused. What was so weird about this trial of the Plantagenet family? Why did he also come to participate?
"Your Highness, you?" Alten, Claire blurted out.
This young man wearing simple silver-gray armor is the Crown Prince of the Holy Hertz Empire, the first heir, Prince Steinburg, Prince Bayer!
A genius knight who is about to break through to the rank of Sky Knight!
