Looking at the Observer's Castle like a black hawk entrenched on the edge of the cliff, Lucien did not dare to get too close. Without the transformation mask, it was easy for Prince Dracula to discover that he was the one who had noticed in the Sphinx's mausoleum.
Magician, when the time comes, it will be difficult for him not to doubt:
Rhine disappeared in the southern desert of the Gusta Empire. During his search, he met a sneaky high-level mage who possessed items made by the Grand Arcanist. Then this mage appeared near the Observer Castle. There are two things to say.
It doesn't matter, unless Dracula's head has become stiff and corrupted with the passage of time, you will believe it.
Taking out his pocket watch, Lucien checked the time again, then cast brute force and other spells on himself, drank the few remaining potions, held "Pale Justice" firmly in his hands, and relied on its legend of evil power.
level, sensing the movement around the castle, and at the same time, turning on the monocle. If there is an unexpected situation, Natasha will contact her urgently.
In fact, if Lucien didn't ask for Natasha's help, he could complete it by himself, but the choice of distance and time would be quite troublesome. If the distance is far, his control spells will not work, and the time to reach the Observer Castle will be too long.
It's hard to know. Maybe before jumping back through the night plateau, Dracula has ruled out the possibility of Rhine and blocked the door again. The distance is closer, and Dracula has less time to go back and forth. Maybe he hasn't escaped yet.
When he arrived at the gate of the Observer's Castle, he had already made a round trip and caught the impostor wearing a deformation mask.
"Five minutes should be enough for Viscount Hazers to report to Prince Dracula. He is a descendant of Dracula."
Lucien put the pocket watch back into the lining pocket of his magic robe and silently counted the time. One of the reasons for choosing Viscount Hazers was because he was Prince Dracula's favorite descendant. Otherwise, several of the people located near the northern fortress
There are several mid-level vampires in the province, why choose him?
As for Natasha's safety, since she had promised not to put herself in danger, Lucien chose to believe that she would not be reckless, impulsive, or suspicious. This came from mutual trust.
Time passed minute by minute, and when Lucien counted three minutes and fifty-six seconds in his heart, "Pale Justice" suddenly trembled slightly, as if he had encountered the most terrifying enemy.
Through it, Lucien sensed that there was a weak but extremely evil force flashing around the Observer Castle on the edge of the cliff. It seemed to be made of extremely pure darkness and death forces intertwined.
Holding his breath and not moving, Lucien counted down the time.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The Observer Castle, which seemed to be forever shrouded in darkness, seemed to have wiped away a shallow layer of ashes, creating the illusion of being slightly more transparent. Lucien's body glowed with a dark and hard-to-see light, and he cast "
"Acceleration".
"...five, four, three..."
The night wind blew by, and apart from the slight noises of some dark creatures that often wandered here, there was no other sound. Lucien took out a bottle of medicine that increased flight speed and drank it for himself.
"Two, one."
When the count reached one, Lucien left all fear, all worry, and all hesitation behind. He flew towards the Observer Castle like a cannonball.
The wind roared, approaching us, and the dark forest beneath our feet quickly retreated. Many magical creatures turned their attention to the mid-air in astonishment.
Now, we can only seize the opportunity and win safety by moving forward firmly!
After breaking through the wind barriers, Lucien landed at the entrance of the Observer Castle before all the creatures could react.
"Klihami." The long-awaited mantra blurted out.
In the surrounding darkness, countless fist-sized bats with red eyes suddenly jumped out and surged toward Lucien at the door.
Even after Prince Dracula left, he did not forget to leave a vampire bat projection near the Observer Castle.
For him, who can make the things in his dreams semi-realistic, these are like real bats, with strong vigilance, detection and attack capabilities!
During the flight, the densely packed vampire bats each made invisible sounds, which merged into dizzying fluctuations.
"Welcome, distinguished guest." Alchemist Life Mihalik made a buzzing voice, and opened the door unhurriedly, seemingly not seeing the dangerous scene in front of the castle.
Lucien grasped the pale justice tightly, and relied on its ability to resist negative states such as rage, charm, and helplessness. He resisted the dizziness that seemed to come from the depths of his soul and rushed towards the door that opened a gap.
With the assistance of potions, magic, and items, his strength and speed have improved a lot, leaving a huge gap with balance, reaction, etc. Therefore, Lucien stumbled, rolled and crawled to the ground and fell behind the gate.
Vampire bats threw themselves fiercely and bravely at the edge of the door. At this time, Mihalik's dull voice sounded:
"Enemy attack, activate the first layer of defense."
Lightning-like black things jumped up on the castle walls and gates, and all the vampire bats that came into contact with them turned into dust. However, the vampire bats were not afraid of death and attacked one after another continuously.
Lucien climbed up, put back the pale justice, released himself from the magic that blessed him, maintained his final balance, then recited the incantation and rushed towards the hall quickly.
At this time, even if someone knew through the projection that someone had broken into the Observer Castle, there would be no doubt about Prince Dracula's choice. He must go to Tilan Province where Rhine appears, because it was not Rhine who entered the castle!
He will not be confused about who is more important and who is the goal, nor will he have any hesitation!
Lucien, who had regained his balance slightly, quickly passed through the sea of crimson flowers that receded like a tide. He turned a blind eye to the strange flower insects and the scarlet magic tree that made him wary and frightened last time. All he could see was the door of the hall.
The sweet fragrance of numbness was neutralized by the health belt. Lucien's strange vision was completely focused on nothing, and he could only see an afterimage of a straight line running almost to the entrance of the hall.
"Klihami." After reciting the mantra again, Lucien felt that these short ten seconds were almost a long life. The strength of the muscles in his whole body was almost squeezed out, and uncontrollable fatigue surged from his heart.
rise.
When Lucien took out the "Congas Forest" potion and drank it to eliminate fatigue, the alchemical life Mihalik once again used its dull and echoing voice to say: "Welcome, distinguished guest, in addition to the control core, the energy room and the treasure house
The lowest level, and the rest of the places. As long as there is an opening spell, you can go there."
Lucien did not relax and recited the secret spell given by Rhine.
"If you have any requests, just give them, dear guest." Mihalik's voice became honest and he answered in the affirmative, "Except that you don't allow me to open the control core and the lowest level of the treasure house, I will abide by your orders.
It’s like obeying the master’s instructions.”
"Very good, activate all the castle defense formations and raise the alert level to the highest level. No one is allowed to come in except Mr. Rhine." Lucien gave the order very quickly. In this case, time is life!
Ah? Mihalik let out a exclamation like a human being, as if he knew he had encountered something dangerous, and then he solemnly replied: "I will obey your orders."
The black lightning jumping outside the observer's castle all disappeared and merged into a transparent light mask that suddenly appeared. The light mask and the castle were coupled in a complex structure. It was like an expansion of the castle.
All kinds of strange creatures in the magic garden disappeared, the scarlet magic tree disappeared, and everything behind Lucien fell into thick darkness.
After a few seconds, Mihalik said: "The defensive array is fully activated, the alert level is 'Legendary', do you have any other instructions?"
Until this time, Lucien was slightly relieved. Even if Prince Dracula came back, he would have to break the Observer Castle before he could deal with him. And a castle that the legend has accumulated for many years, even if there is no owner, is still in alchemy.
Under the auspices of life, you should be able to hold on for a few minutes, right?
"Light all the lights in the castle." Lucien continued to issue the order.
"Yes." Mihalik's booming voice became more solemn, as if he knew the meaning of lighting all the lights.
The creatures lurking under the cliff suddenly saw a light on the spire of the castle that was always shrouded in darkness. It seemed to be able to penetrate the dense darkness and illuminate the surrounding area brightly.
"This is?" The dark creatures that have been wandering here for many years have never seen lights appear in the castle.
But as soon as their doubts arose, lights one after another shone out from every room in the castle. After just ten seconds, the entire castle was brightly lit and dazzling, and the darkness that seemed to never dissipate completely faded away.
The outline details are revealed.
Without the darkness, the light of the silver moon shines directly on the Observer Castle. After being rendered by the lights and reflected by the walls and glass, a bright silvery white halo is formed in front of the hall, creating a tranquil and cool atmosphere.
.
"Put my appearance into the highest level of disguise, um, into Mr. Rhine." Lucien ordered Mihalik again. He didn't want to be targeted by Prince Dracula because of this matter. With the obstruction of the defensive circle,
There is also the disguise of the castle's alchemical life. Unless Dracula can break through the defense, he cannot confirm his breath and soul essence.
"Yes." As Mihalik answered, a dark gas fell on Lucien's head, covering him.
Waiting for the darkness to disappear, Lucien had turned into Rhine's appearance.
Then, Lucien took the time to stand in the bright silver circle, and felt an inexplicable feeling.
Just when Lucien was about to recite the mysterious summoning spell taught by Rhine, the surroundings suddenly dimmed, as if the sky was covered by a huge black shadow, and even the light of the silver moon was blocked!
"Damn little bug, I'm going to eat you!" An angry, deep voice sounded. All the trees in the surrounding virgin forest were broken, and the dark creatures exploded continuously like firecrackers, outside the castle.
The first layer of defense mask was pressed so hard that it creaked.
Prince Dracula returned sooner than Lucien expected!
"Is there anything going on there, Natasha?"
"He blocked Silver Moon, can he still complete the summons?"
Two thoughts arose in Lucien's heart at the same time.
