It seems that the ancient castle, forever shrouded in darkness, stands on the edge of the cliff, bathed in the cold moonlight, lonely and vicissitudes of life, and isolated from the world.
Lucien has turned into a werewolf with green and black fur, lurking in the primeval forest under the cliff. Looking carefully at the Observer Castle, the tower tip seems to extend into Silver Moon. In the surrounding forests and cliffs,
There are many dark creatures hiding, and they all look at the castle with slightly burning eyes.
As long as they have a little more knowledge, it is not difficult for intelligent creatures to discover the extraordinaryness of the Observer Castle. It is conceivable that some greedy dark strong men have tried to steal into this castle that seems to have no owner and die, and the rest are like wolves.
Like a group of people waiting for prey, they wander far away and often, patiently waiting for opportunities to appear.
With their background, Lucien felt much more at ease. He no longer worried that his spying was independent and as eye-catching as a light in the dark. The reason why he did not rush into the Observer Castle was because he suspected Prince Dracula.
He will pay close attention to this place. As the most powerful vampire, he has enough ability to create simulacra, projections and other things to monitor key places. Once Rhine is discovered, he will come personally.
And where will his body be? Lucien reluctantly believes that if it were him, he would most likely choose the Observer Castle. After all, Rhine has disappeared into the desert in the southern part of the Gusta Empire, and he has entered the "Night Plateau" without him.
For records, even if you just sit back and wait for the rabbit, you have to be in a place where the rabbit is easy to hit.
As for the patience of Prince Dracula, Lucien has no doubt that the most important thing a legendary strong man who has lived for countless years lacks is patience.
"We must find a way..."
The blue-and-black werewolf that Lucien transformed into slowly retreated from the forest under the cliff. It was not his style to directly gamble on the chance that Prince Dracula would not be here, risking an uncontrollable risk to break in.
Fortunately, it took far less time than expected to complete the activation of the magic circles in the first three places. Lucien had plenty of time to plan, and the last step required choosing the night with the brightest silver moon. Even if he was in a hurry, he would have to wait until eight
Queen of heaven.
When he was far away from the Observer's Castle, Lucien stopped lurking, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he put the final touches on the plan he had thought up in the past few days.
"If there is someone who is completely trustworthy and willing to help me without knowing the secret of the matter, the possibility of success will be much improved..." The figure flashed through Lucien's mind, but he was quite hesitant.
"It would put her in danger."
Stepping on the rotten and soft soil, Lucien paced back and forth. He couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
"What would she say?"
When he was debating over his ideas, Lucien looked at a big gnarled tree in front of him, mistook it for Natasha, and imagined what Natasha's answer would be.
The heroic woman wearing milky white armor will definitely answer with a smile: "Okay, that's it. But you have to compose a piece of music and give it to me as a gift."
Simple, crisp and neat, without asking any unnecessary questions.
If she chooses not to drag anyone down and completes the entire step by herself, and she finds out, she will definitely say with a half-smile: "Although the only person you can rely on in this world is yourself. But not everything can be done independently.
Those who cherish their own lives will never live long. I think I am still a brave knight worthy of trust, maybe you don’t regard me as a true friend?”
Taking a deep breath, Lucien released his transformation. He took out his monocle and put it on, activating "Fernando's electromagnetic communication technique".
The chaotic sound of electricity was set off by the quietness and depth of this dark forest, and Lucien could hear it extremely clearly. As the sound continued, time passed by minute by second.
"It's early in the morning, Natasha may have taken off her earrings and gone to sleep... I'll try again in the morning." After about two minutes, when no one responded, Lucien was about to end the electromagnetic communication technique.
At this time, the chaotic sound of electric current suddenly disappeared, and the Qingyue female voice, deliberately lowered, sounded: "Lucien?"
"Well, it's me." Hearing this familiar voice, Lucien became calm.
Natasha said amusedly and slightly delighted: "You are near the Principality of Violet again? I just read the letter you sent at the end of June yesterday, and I didn't expect to receive your message today. It was really scary just now.
I jumped and managed to hide it from Aunt Camille and hid in the garden."
There was an illusion that he was secretly making phone calls behind his parents' back. Lucien smiled and said, "I'm in the Dark Mountains."
"Hey, you are in trouble. Do you need help from me, a brave and upright knight?" Natasha chuckled.
Lucien's tone became solemn: "I need your help with something, but it may be dangerous."
Natasha clicked her tongue and said bluntly: "I'll rush over right away about your position. That's it."
A touch of tacit understanding and warmth rippled in Lucien's heart, and his voice became softer: "You can take Aunt Camille with you, but you have to hide what you need to do from her."
Lucien knew very well that as the Countess of Violet and the heir to the Principality of Violet, Natasha was burdened with the family affection of the Grand Duke and the expectation of loyalty to the nobles. Many times, she could no longer act according to her own will, even if she took risks.
Bring a guard. Since I don't plan to tell her the secret behind the matter, letting her bring Camille is a sign of respect and understanding for her.
"I was just going to ask you if you could tell Aunt Camille." Natasha's laughter was also very soft, "Okay, tell me the location and surrounding features."
"No, we move at the same time and meet at the foot of the Skagen Peak in the Dark Mountains." Lucien chose a place with obvious features, and he would not encounter too strong enemies along the way from Alto to the Skagen Peak.
Dark creatures.
…………
It doesn’t take long to fly from Alto to the edge of the dark mountains, but once you enter the mountains, under the threat of many hidden dark creatures, your speed will slow down a lot. Sometimes you even have to fall into the forest and hide and run. If you are arrogant,
Flying without a care, the Heavenly Knights who fell in the Dark Mountains, the Golden Knights are the best examples.
Two days later, Lucien, who was wearing a monocle, was pacing back and forth a little anxiously. The silver moon shone on the smooth rock walls of Skagen Peak, reflecting a cold and dreamy brilliance.
"Why hasn't Natasha arrived yet? The electromagnetic communication technique can't connect..."
Although the route he chose was not very dangerous to Natasha, and there were strange areas that Rhine pointed out that needed to be avoided, he still couldn't see her when he was supposed to arrive. Lucien was inevitably a little worried, and it was difficult to understand the power of the Dark Council.
We happened to meet them by chance passing by nearby?
Suddenly, under the shining of the silver moon, two figures, one purple and one black, rushed out of the primeval forest.
Phew, Lucien let out a breath and greeted him with a smile.
Two figures stopped at the foot of the mountain. They were Natasha and Camille. Both of them were wearing full body armor. They were not at all careless about the dangers of the dark mountains.
However, Natasha is no longer wearing the milky white one, but the deep purple "Violet Guardian Armor". She is holding a small and exquisite black shield with a deep and sacred atmosphere in her left hand, which matches her clear silver-purple eyes.
.With her dreamy long purple hair and beautiful but resolute face, she really looks like a heroic "female war goddess".
"Shield of Truth?" Lucien was still hesitating on how to say hello after a long separation, but unexpectedly he just asked the question casually as if he had just met yesterday.
Camille looked at Lucien deeply, her eyes indifferent, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking, and then left the two of them, keeping a distance and not eavesdropping on the conversation.
Natasha raised the dark black sacred shield: "It's just a replica. I can't hold the real Shield of Truth. Hey, my knight. How can I help you?"
There was no nonsense, she went straight to the topic.
Lucien took out the clown-like transformation mask: "Take it and put it on a knight-level death row prisoner six days later when the silver moon is at its brightest. Then let him pass by in the shape of Mr. Rhine."
Hazes Castle in the northern province of Tilan, and let the owner of the castle notice it. Remember, you must not transform and disguise yourself."
"Well, this is to help me lure Prince Dracula away from the vampire clan, so you have to seize the opportunity to leave. You can't control the knight all the time. Find a time to knock him out, pretend to be sleeping, and retreat quickly.
"
At least let Natasha know who the enemy she is about to face is and how terrifying it is.
"Mr. Rhine turned out to be a strong man in the vampire family. No wonder..." Natasha was keenly aware of this, and then she rubbed her smooth, white and slightly strong chin, "In this case, Prince Dracula will soon be
Do you have enough time to discover something is wrong? Otherwise, simply turn the distraction into an ambush. My teacher, His Excellency the Glory of God, His Excellency the Principality's Serpent of Chaos, and His Excellency Cardinal Sard, will definitely
Being interested in encircling and suppressing the vampire prince will buy you enough time, and Cardinal Salde can also invite two saints to help."
Without asking about the secret behind the matter, she began to look for a better way. Only two saints, a Holy Spirit priest, and two epic knights could successfully deal with this legendary peak existence.
"No, Cardinal Salde has a big problem, we can't go to him. Without saints, without Holy Spirit priests, just relying on two epic knights will definitely not be a match for Prince Dracula, and he will even fall directly." Lucien
She shook her head and did not hide anything from Natasha, "Although the time is a little tight, it is enough. I will not make fun of my own life."
"Cardinal Salde has a problem... Something really happened in Alto City at that time." Natasha did not doubt Lucien's statement, and smiled solemnly, "I believe you cherish your life. Just now
A genius arcanist who has won so many awards and became the first person below the legend of the Purification Sequence must be full of expectations and yearning for his future life."
She said nothing more and chose to trust Lucien's judgment.
"Yeah." Lucien looked at her with a complicated smile, but she didn't have any expected reaction, "Hey, this kind of thing is much faster than my letter."
"Hehe, but I still like to read your letter." Natasha smiled openly. As a believer who does not study theology, she has no objection to the divisibility of atoms. As for the miraculous experiment, it has been so long.
She had already adapted to it, and even felt faintly proud. Then she asked with a smile, "Did you choose the Vampire Castle in Tilan Province because it is close to the Northern Fortress? Even if I was discovered by Prince Dracula, I would still have a lot of
Be sure to hide in the fortress."
"It's also because the owner of Hazes Castle is only a middle-level person..." Lucien did not answer directly.
Natasha's smile became brighter, and then she raised her head and looked at Yin Yue: "I won't waste any more time. I'll go back and arrange things first. You can be careful."
"Okay." Lucien is also a decisive person.
When she took the transformation mask and left her breath, Natasha was stunned: "Have you been promoted to a high level?"
If you are not a high-level person, you cannot use this mask at all.
"Well, I paid some price and got promoted early." Lucien answered honestly.
Natasha glanced at Lucien with joy and concern, and said unabashedly: "It's really unimaginable that you are already at the same level as me. Lucien, you are right to choose the path of magic, but you must not
Too eager. Well, I have to improve as soon as possible, improve as soon as possible, and I can't be surpassed by you."
After saying that, she turned around and flew towards Camille. Halfway through the flight, she suddenly turned back and said with a smile: "Lucien, you are not doing something bad this time, are you?"
"Of course, I'm saving the world." Lucien replied half-jokingly.
Natasha laughed immediately, asked no more questions, and left with Camille.
…………
A few days later, after confirming that Natasha had made arrangements, Lucien returned to the vicinity of the Observer Castle. When the brightest night of the silver moon was approaching, he once again sneaked into the primeval forest under the cliff.
