Lucien, who was dressed in silver-gray armor and had metal gloves on his hands, shone with an icy sheen under the "eternal flame" of the underground palace. In Andris's eyes, he looked like the most terrifying demon in the world.
He still hasn't figured out what happened just now, why he was suddenly defeated, and why the official knight armor given by his family couldn't even block a sword!
As for Jocelin and other aristocratic children, it was like seeing an opera that promoted the Northern Church and various cults at the Antiphore Saint-Solan Coliseum. They completely subconsciously refused to believe that Borak, who was a high-ranking knight's attendant more than a month ago,
, how could it be so unimaginably powerful?
Jocelyn, who had not long been promoted to the rank of knight, thought that with the two third-level magical daggers given by her father, a set of fourth-level perfect rose scale armor, and other magic items such as necklaces, amulets, belts, boots, and gloves,
It is impossible to hold the two-handed giant sword that slashes violently with one hand as easily as Borak did just now.
"He must have an extraordinary item on his body that can increase his power to a fifth-level knight. The long sword that exudes a strong chill is at least level three, and he definitely inspired the power of blood. The knight level is even higher than mine! It's hidden.
That's great!" Jocelin thought in astonishment, a feeling of shame and humiliation welling up in her heart. Borak had activated his bloodline at least a year ago, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to be promoted to Level 2 so quickly. He actually hid it from me?
Even if "Borak" can assemble a full set of knight equipment that enhances strength, agility, balance, physique, will, and recovery speed, the knight's experience and the knight's combat reactions cannot be simulated by extraordinary items. From the fact that he accurately holds the giant sword in both hands
With his easy movements, Jocelyn could clearly tell that he had activated the power of his blood and was a true knight.
Jocelyn couldn't help feeling envious: "Uncle Beckman is indeed the youngest son favored by the late old Duke. The items on Borak's body are far better than mine."
She was born into a noble family. Her father was a high-ranking aristocrat in the empire. Her family controlled quite a bit of territory. She had wealth beyond the reach of ordinary nobles. After years of accumulation, mid-level extraordinary items were actually not uncommon. But it was only not uncommon, because
Without a spellcaster, she cannot refine items by herself, and the types of equipment are very monotonous. For example, she is obviously good at double swords, but there are only level 5 giant swords and warhammers in the family treasury and the Marquis's private collection. It took a lot of effort to get a pair of level 3 gods.
There is no magic dagger and no equipment that can increase the power of the weapon.
In comparison, the Plantagenet family, which inherits the bloodline of Sun King Thanos, often has bloodline sorcerers. Coupled with the hidden magic tomes, alchemy manuals, etc., the types of mid- and low-level extraordinary items are almost comparable to those of the royal family.
In fact, she didn't know that after Beckman's death, the extraordinary items around him disappeared mysteriously, otherwise Borak would not be so frustrated.
"devil……"
"He became a knight?"
"Run away!"
Continuous exclamations reached her ears from around her. Qiaocelin was "pulled" out of her spiritual world, and then she saw several noble children around her who had not yet activated their bloodline power running away in panic. No one dared to
Go save Andris.
They were jumping up and down, like flying roosters and wild dogs. Compared with the "Bolak" in the corridor, which was as stable as a mountain range, Jocelyn felt strong disgust from the bottom of her heart. They were a group of cowards and trash!
Although she was sure that Borac would not hurt herself, Jocelyn was worried that he would do something "uncontrollable" that would be seen by Alten. So the two daggers flowing with holy light were crisscrossed and she stepped back in an orderly manner.
, left through another door. And just as she "expected", Borak did not pursue.
"When I was so dangerous and nervous just now, I was thinking about Borak's equipment and lamenting the richness of the Plantagenet family's extraordinary items. If it weren't for him, things would have become very dangerous. Hey, this is someone who has never experienced a real battle.
Disadvantages. You actually think wildly when you shouldn’t!” After retreating to another corridor, Jocelin deeply reflected on herself. After all, she also inspired her bloodline by her own strength, “But Borak still has such a charming side.
?”
There was no pursuit, and he watched the noble children escape, leaving Andris kneeling on the ground trembling. Lucien had no interest in defeating them, and the more people and confusion they had, the more helpful it would be for his actions.
"Who!" The Frost Sword was raised suddenly, and Lucien looked at the corner "vigilantly".
Bang bang, crisp applause sounded, and a graceful figure wearing a close-fitting milky white armor stood out, proudly holding out her chest: "A princess who needs knights to protect her."
This is Sophia. She holds a green wand and says with a smile: "I didn't expect that you have successfully inspired the power of blood and become a real knight. Are you willing to protect this poor princess like me, dear knight? You just held the giant sword.
His movements are so cool!”
She said she didn't expect it, but there was no surprise in her tone.
"I have always been the princess's knight." Lucien saluted meaningfully, but no matter how smart Sophia was, she couldn't guess his real thoughts.
Nodding with satisfaction, Sophia looked at the naked Andris curiously and shyly: "The control of your sword is so good, I thought you would cut open all the protruding parts of his body, oh, it's so ugly.
." He raised his left hand that was not holding the magic wand and covered his eyes, but he could clearly see the flickering green between his fingers.
When Her Majesty, the "goddess" in his heart, saw him like this and was laughed at in ignorance by her, Andris was really blushing and wanted to die.
"Let's go, Your Highness Princess, we have to hurry up." Lucien always felt that Sophia knew something about the underground palace, so he simply asked her to follow him so that he could observe "secretly".
After she and Bayer came in, Lucien had a premonition that things were going to change strangely - this was the premonition of a high-level astrologer who had not yet achieved much in astrological magic.
Sophia withdrew her gaze and walked to Lucien with a burst of fragrance: "Well, I'm here to study the changes in the underground palace. Dear knight, remember to protect me!"
After Lucien and Sophia left, Andris, who had buried his face on the ground, raised his head, his face flushed red. He was really frustrated, embarrassed and angry just now! But "Bolak" completely forgot about him and did not forget him.
The attitude of sending him out of the underground palace after being seriously injured made him deeply indignant and indignant at being completely despised.
"Haha. Andris, what are you doing kneeling on the ground with your butt stuck out? Hahahaha!" A familiar exaggerated voice came from behind.
Andris covered her lower body like a girl and jumped up. Looking back, she saw that the companions who had just escaped quietly sneaked back.
"Hahaha, if Jocelyn sees you like this, she will think we have done something to you!" A nobleman laughed wildly with gloating.
"Andris, don't you brag that you are the strongest among the high-level knight attendants? And you also have formal knight armor! How come you can't even block Borak's sword? You even took off your clothes and knelt in front of him.
?” The aristocratic young man who was usually at odds with Andris laughed at him wantonly.
"By the way, why didn't Borak hurt you and let you be teleported out of the underground palace? Did you just..." Another noble boy said with an ambiguous smile, but he had experienced different pleasures.
This group of aristocratic young people who have not undergone strict training and like to live a luxurious and enjoyable life did not care about Andris's mood and vented his emotions after the extreme fear just now.
Andris clenched his fists tightly, and the ridicules of his companions were like sharp arrows hitting his heart. The blood vessels in his forehead swelled. His vision was blurry.
"These damn bastards!"
"You just left me and ran away!"
"You still laugh at me and think of me as that kind of person!"
"I actually made such a big fool of myself in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
…
The shock of shame, anger, hatred, hatred and other emotions made Andris's pupils fill with blood red, and there seemed to be phantom sounds in his ears.
"Andris, are you okay?" Jocelyn's concerned voice suddenly sounded, and Andris couldn't help but shed two tears. But the emotion in his heart did not weaken at all.
…………
Lucien, who had already turned several corridors and passed through three gates, suddenly felt something in his heart and looked back to where he had just come.
"Borac, what's wrong?" Sophia, who was studying the palace layout carefully, noticed Lucien's anomaly and asked in confusion.
Lucien looked away, frowned slightly and shook his head: "Nothing. Maybe someone was following us from behind just now."
"But my alert spell didn't respond." Sophia shook her head in disbelief.
"Perhaps it's from a distance." Of course, Lucien would not tell Sophia. Just now, he felt that the magic circle covering the underground palace had undergone inexplicable changes, and at the same time, a strange sense of familiarity filled the air. But it disappeared in an instant.
These weird things cannot be discovered without the mental power of a high-level magician and a preliminary understanding of magic circles.
"The ruins of the legendary magician are full of all kinds of strange changes..." Lucien held the sword tightly, recalling the strange familiarity just now, and then tried to analyze the possible changes in the magic circle.
Sophia didn't ask any more questions. She walked beside Lucien with her magic wand in hand, giving directions from time to time.
"The paths she pointed out are all correct?" Lucien has been watching with cold eyes. As a blood warlock, Sophia also has an extremely outstanding ability in analyzing magic arrays?
On the way forward, Sophia teased Lucien from time to time, showing off her liveliness and simplicity.
"Wait a minute!" Lucien raised his left hand to block Sophia.
Sophia pursed her lips: "Is there something wrong?"
"I smell blood." Lucien replied seriously.
Sophia suddenly became excited: "Is there someone in front who has just finished fighting? I want them to see my fireball technique!"
"Be careful." Lucien held the sword with both hands again and pushed open the door to the aisle ahead.
The metal door opened, and the strong smell of blood hit his face. Lucien saw a black figure kneeling on the ground, and in front of him lay a man wearing black armor. Blood flowed out from under the man's body.
Hearing the footsteps of someone coming in, the black figure trembled all over and turned around suddenly. It was the panicked Duda.
And his turn around also completely exposed the man lying in front of him. There was a ferocious deep wound on his neck, which almost severed the cervical vertebrae. The flesh and blood were blurred, and his breathing had stopped!
"He's dead?" Sophia's drawn-out voice was full of disbelief.
Lucien recognized the male corpse as Ralph’s noble friend, but he was actually dead?!
"I, I didn't mean to..." Duda's face was pale and his eyes were dull.
