Chapter 56 The Night Watch

When he discovered the night watchman, Lucien immediately threw the blazing glue tightly in his hand at him.

The magic contained in the "Ice Avenger" ring has been used up, and blazing glue has become Lucien's most powerful method. So when he was running in the rainstorm just now, he was holding a tube of blazing glue in each hand. Whenever he found an enemy, he would

Throw it out immediately.

"If it weren't for the fact that 'Bat's Scream' has very poor detection results under heavy rain and thunder, I could have discovered him in advance and avoided him." With a change of caution, I also threw out the blazing glue in my right hand.

Afterwards, Lucien quickly moved towards the entrance of the secret passage on the left front.

When the night watchman saw Lucien, he also stretched out his hands. A pair of pitch-black gloves seemed to be able to swallow up all the light. As a night watchman who has been fighting various dangerous creatures in the dark for a long time, his reaction was not the same.

Not slower than Lucien.

The first tube of blazing glue was directly held by the night watchman's hands wearing pitch black gloves. It was about to explode under the influence of mental power, but it seemed to be extinguished in the control of the pitch black gloves. There was no violent explosion or any attachment.

Body, an unquenchable flame.

The black glove worn by every night watchman in the church is an excellent magic item, engraved with the magic ban array of the corresponding level. Due to the number of black glove items, the number of night watchmen in the church has always been small, and each person has a black glove.

In addition to relying on magic items, the Night Watchmen are also equally powerful themselves. They have high-level knight attendants, priests, knights, recruited dark knights, evil creatures, and even magicians.

As soon as the night watchman caught the first tube of blazing glue, Lucien's second tube of blazing glue flew over, but the strength of this tube of blazing glue seemed to be insufficient and it did not hit the night watchman's body.

Instead, it fell in front of him, landed on the ground, and exploded violently. A blazing fireball jumped up, burning the night watchman who had no time to react, and at the same time ignited the caught blazing fire.

glue and let it react and explode on its own.

With a bang, the night watchman was blown away. The colloid stuck to the night watchman and burned violently. It was unable to be extinguished by the heavy rain.

Lucien did not check the results of the battle with the blazing glue. He quickly moved to the entrance of the secret passage and used magic to open the mechanism.

Suddenly, a cry that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart appeared in Lucien's ears, with the natural pressure of a top-level creature in the food chain. Lucien couldn't help but tremble, and his legs became weak. If it weren't for the Ice Avenger,

The ring, Lucien's own concentration and calmness in spellcasting alone, would definitely not be able to deal with this kind of oppression.

Another huge whip-like lightning flashed, and the night watchman could be seen approaching quickly in the heavy rain. His body was covered with a layer of burning fire glue, but he seemed not to be affected at all, except that his face was slightly pale and his mouth was swollen.

There was a thin line of magma-like blood flowing on the side. This was caused by the force of the explosion, not the flames.

From his burned white dress and shirt, you can directly see the skin inside, which is a layer of skin covered with red scales. The flames of the fire glue are isolated by this layer of skin, and can only be burned slightly.

Burnt scales.

Seeing such a situation, how could Lucien still not understand the strength of the other party? This is a dark knight who has inspired the power of blood, and his blood power is the "red dragon"!

This night watchman gave Lucien the feeling that he was much weaker than the shadow knight just now, but his speed and strength were still beyond his reach. If he turned around and ran away, he might be chased by him as soon as he entered the secret passage.

And none of his apprentice-level magic can stop him, let alone a pair of black gloves. Unless he becomes an official magician and his mental power is greatly increased, he can increase the frequency that the resonance hand can simulate to a high level.

The degree of energy infrasound waves.

Facing the night watchman who was flying over, Lucien relied on the "Ice Avenger" to resist the "Dragon Power" without panicking and calmly calculated the distance between the two.

"Twenty meters, ten meters..."

Then, Lucien threw the last tube of blazing glue out, and threw it five meters away from him. A loud explosion sounded, and the burning colloid fireball flew forward under the control of Lucien's mental power. It was huge.

However, the shock wave spread out uncontrollably in all directions, including Lucien's own direction.

The night watchman was not afraid of the burning fire glue, but under the impact of the explosion, his forward speed was still slowed down. He paused on the spot and even took a step back.

Lucien, who was hit by the impact in the opposite direction, only held his hood tightly with one hand and protected his chest with one hand, and was rolled back by the air wave.

The location where Lucien was standing was the entrance to the secret passage diagonally downwards, so he rolled directly into the secret passage and rolled several meters quickly.

Lucien felt as if he had been hit directly by a huge hammer. His internal organs vibrated, his blood swelled, and a rust-like smell came out of his throat. A mouthful of blood spurted out, making him dizzy.

After the explosion outside, the night watchman kicked off his feet and chased Lucien, who had just stood up in the secret passage. At this time, the distance between the two sides was about twenty meters again, and the night watchman was afraid of being hit by Lucien's other magic items.

The hit did not go in a straight line, but moved forward in a serpentine shape.

But when the night watchman ran a few meters away, he saw the black-robed magician pressing one hand on the wall of the secret passage, holding a tube of potion in the other hand, and bowing slightly, as if he was saluting himself, and then walked through the secret passage.

The entrance suddenly collapsed, and the first layer of stones turned into soil and fell. The stones behind lost their balance and continued to fall. In just one second, the entrance to the secret passage was buried.

This is a "micro-effect fossil-to-mud" magic circle arranged by the sage to destroy the secret passage in an emergency.

The night watchman directly hit the soil and rocks in the secret passage, creating a human-shaped black hole one meter deep. However, having exhausted all his strength, he could only stop and recharge his strength, and deep in the secret passage, there was another collapse sound.

Looking at the yellow-brown soil, smelling the "fragrant" smell, and listening to the sound of thunder, the night watchman gritted his teeth, punched the soil, and said angrily: "I will definitely catch you, you

This damn magician."

…………

While Lucien was taking "Tempest" to stabilize his injuries and stimulate his potential, he triggered a magic circle every ten meters and destroyed this section of the secret passage. However, after five consecutive sections, Lucien stopped triggering it, fearing that the Night Watchman would pass it by.

The movement of the collapse was traced from the ground to the exit.

Relying on the potential stimulated by the potion, Lucien took half the time it took to come here. He quickly left the exit of the secret passage and closed it with magic.

Then Lucien took off his black robe, transferred the contents into the pocket of his inner linen jacket, and then burned the black robe with "Maris's little flame" to prevent the night watchman with a keen sense of smell from judging his black robe.

The herbal flavor deliberately added to the robe is traced.

This herbal smell was prepared by Lucien to cover up his own smell.

With the help of sulfur, the soaked black robe was completely burned out quickly. After doing all this, Lucien hurried out of the house and quickly returned to his cabin in the darkness and heavy rain.

It wasn't until he entered his hut, dried his linen jacket and trousers, put the potions, test tubes, etc. in the laboratory, hid the spell-casting materials in the hut, and lay down on the bed that Lucien breathed a sigh of relief.

Before, Lucien's logic was clear and his energy was high, which was maintained by stimulating his potential. Now that he relaxed, he suddenly felt weak all over his body. The injuries that had not yet healed continued to be tortured by the slow treatment of "Storm".

He himself fell into a state of half sleep and half awake.

Lightning, thunder, and heavy rain made Lucien's cabin seem to be isolated from the rest of the world. There was an unspeakable tranquility amidst the noise.

Perhaps it was such bad weather that the church's night watchmen were unable to track Lucien and other apprentices, so they spent the night quietly in the waterfall-like rain until dawn.

According to Lucien's guess, the high-level experts should focus on the dead Baron Laurent, because it is the blood and power of the devil, and with the sacrifice using the power of the body, it is easy for people to think of the previous one.

The "Silver Horn" cult.

…………

In the early morning, the rainstorm was much lighter, but it could still be called heavy rain. The sun was swallowed up, and Alto and nearby areas were still dark. The poor people who worked hard to survive every day made various sounds in the sound of rain.

Lucien woke up in a daze and felt very uncomfortable, so he decided not to go to the library in the morning and continued to rest. He would go to see Mr. Victor after lunch. Anyway, with Pierre around, the association's library was always deserted.

When it was time for breakfast, Aunt Alisa saw that Lucien had not come, so she sent Alvin to come and see what happened to him. Lucien seized the opportunity and asked Alvin to go to the library to ask for leave for him.

After that, Lucien continued to fall asleep in the sound of rain. He didn't feel better until he woke up at noon. He felt that he was finally alive again, but his body was still obviously weak. Although the power of the fire glue explosion was not

Strong, but at such a close distance, Lucien was not a knight-level strongman, so he would inevitably be seriously injured. Fortunately, he had refined a potion like "Storm" in advance to treat injuries.

After lunch, Lucien, who had regained some energy, walked to Victor's house in Jisu District under the umbrella he borrowed from Aunt Alisa's house. It's best to resolve the matter today. There are only three days left until the last week.

.

…………

Ten o'clock in the morning, in Victor's piano room.

Victor, who was thinking hard about the rhythm and his face was full of irritability, suddenly heard a knock on the door, which made him unable to help but suppress his emotions, which he had to suppress with great difficulty.

Holding the quill and opening the door of the piano room, Victor saw Lot, Phyllis and Herodotus who should have arrived in the afternoon, and asked strangely: "Why did you come here suddenly? Is there something wrong?"

Lott said with a look of embarrassment: "Mr. Victor, McCants told me that Baron Othello asked you to go to the association as soon as possible today because Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly wants to know the repertoire of the last three concerts."

As usual, he went to the association to practice musical instruments in the morning and went to Victor's place to study in the afternoon. As a result, he met McCants and heard the bad news.

The quill fell on the thick carpet without making any sound. Victor's face turned pale and he took a few steps back before standing still.

"Mr. Victor..." The three students stepped forward with concern.

Victor waved his hand, took a deep breath, and then spit it out: "I understand, let me be quiet for thirty minutes before going to the association."

…………

Arriving at Victor's house, Lucien, led by a servant who was already familiar with him, walked to the door of the house and saw the housekeeper Ace.

"Mr. Ace, which room is Mr. Victor in? I have something to ask him about." Lucien greeted the butler Ace with a smile, "You don't look good. Are you sick?"

Ace shook his head: "I'm fine, it's the master. He went to the association. Because Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to know the names of the music for the last three concerts, she was invited to the association by Baron Othello."

"I have been invited to the association to confirm the repertoire..." Lucien was stunned for a moment, and then asked anxiously: "How long have you been gone? How long has Mr. Victor been gone?"

"I went out at 10:40 in the morning. Just wait for about half an hour and I should be back." Ace thought Lucien had something urgent and wanted to catch up.

It's now 12:35 noon.

Lucien was filled with strong disappointment: "If I had not asked for leave in the morning, I would have met Mr. Victor in the association. Is it really destiny?"

"No, I have to go over and give it a try no matter what. Maybe because of the heavy rain, maybe because of what happened last night, the list hasn't been finalized yet, or it hasn't been sent to the princess yet. We can't just give up!"

Lucien thanked Mr. Ace, picked up his umbrella, rushed into the misty rain, and ran towards the Musicians Association.
