It was already eleven o'clock at night when Lucien left the chant hall, and only scattered lights could be seen nearby, as well as an empty space in the darkness where most of the carriages were gone.
Although the Harvest Moon is hot during the day, as long as it rains, it will be very cool at night. Being blown by the clear night wind, Lucien couldn't help but feel refreshed. He was happy about the success of Victor's concert and unexpectedly received Jintaler's gift.
I woke up from the surprise and thought while strolling: "It seems that I will be leaving the Adrang District in a short time. I must clean up the laboratory first to avoid problems being discovered by homeless people after it becomes vacant. Also, I need to deal with the complaints as soon as possible."
The best time to summon the spirit is tonight! Start buying moonlight roses tomorrow."
Moonlight Rose is a magical plant that assists knights and servants in stimulating bloodline power. It has strict environmental requirements for its growth, and its output is not high. In addition, becoming a knight is a poor person. The best way for ordinary people to become aristocrats is for those who need it.
There are a lot of them, so even if they are expensive, they are often in short supply, and even the nobles can completely digest them. Most people can only rely on luck or buy them from the black market at more outrageous prices, and the best way is to become a knight's attendant.
, and after being able to stimulate the power of blood, he will be rewarded by the knight.
The resources of Moonlight Rose in the Principality of Violet are concentrated in the hands of the Church, the Violet Family and several other major families. In addition to their high title and powerful family knights, this is why they are the most powerful family in the Principality of Violet.
One of the reasons.
Therefore, Lucien set his sights on Phyllis. She is a member of the Hain family and the niece of Earl Hain. Although her father, even with the assistance of magical medicines such as Moonlight Rose, was unable to stimulate the power of his bloodline, he was fighting for
She failed in the fight for the title and had a bad relationship with Earl Hain, but this did not prevent her from being qualified to purchase the Moonlight Rose within the family.
In fact, Phyllis had already purchased it, but after failing to activate her bloodline power three times, she could only concentrate on her music career.
"The problem is how to convince her? And how to dispel her doubts about my purchase of Moonlight Rose!"
Lucien walked down the steps of the chanting hall with a touch of worry. The last time he was stopped by the night watchman left Lucien with lingering fears. He must speed up his improvement of strength. If Phyllis did not agree, he would have no choice but to risk going to Al
The black market for entrustment, or the secret gatherings of magical circles.
At the entrance of the chant hall, there were only two ordinary carriages parked there. Joel, with a glowing face, told Alyssa, John and Alina that he had always thought Lucien was very talented in music.
Seeing Lucien coming over, Joel laughed and stretched out his hands, hugging Lucien firmly: "Little Evans, your dream of being a musician and my dream of a chant hall have all come true.
It was truly a dreamy night. You are your father and we are proud of you."
Although Joel had only joked about Lucien's dream of becoming a musician before, since Lucien started studying music with Victor, Joel felt that Lucien might really want to become a musician.
After Lucien was hugged, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed secretly: "Can you please stop hugging? I'm really not used to this kind of etiquette. How nice to shake hands!"
After Joel hugged, John also gave Lucien a hug. He was a little excited and showed great strength: "Lucien, you are really a musical genius. I am proud of you. I originally thought I would become a knight first."
Hearing these words, Lucien's heart moved slightly. Maybe he could use John as an excuse to come to Phyllis to buy Moonlight Rose. After all, after he succeeded, he still wanted to help his benefactor and help his good friends to stimulate the power of his bloodline, but he always let
People appreciate it.
And Lucien originally had this plan, that is, after he had a certain amount of wealth, he would work hard to buy Moonlight Rose and help John become a knight, because since time traveling, the Joel family has treated him like real relatives, and he has experienced several things
The same is true in the end. In my mind, their positions are more important than Victor.
The only question is what to convince Phyllis, money or something else?
"I have just started. I will wait at least two or three years to stabilize before I can be called a musician. Maybe John, you can inspire your bloodline and become a knight soon." Lucien answered John with a smile.
John shook his head and let go of Lucien: "I have just become a high-level knight's attendant and started to learn writing. I am not in a hurry to be promoted. The more solid the foundation, the easier it will be to succeed in the future."
The success rate of stimulating bloodline power is the highest for the first time, but it will decrease every time after that. After the third time, unless you get some special medicines with serious sequelae, you will never be able to succeed.
Elena stood aside and saw Lucien and John separated, then stepped forward to hug Lucien and said with a smile: "Congratulations on your success, Lucien. No, it's time to call you Mr. Evans."
"We are friends, there is no need to be so formal, otherwise I won't guide you in your music study." Lucien responded jokingly.
Although there are city gates from the Administrative District to the Aderjan District, they are not closed under normal circumstances. They are only guarded by soldiers. After seeing Elena off, Lucien and Joel's family returned to their hut.
…………
Lying on the bed, all his emotions calmed down. Lucien was half asleep until after one o'clock in the morning. Then he suddenly got up. After checking it carefully, he silently entered his magic laboratory.
After spending an hour on the table with many special alchemy arrays, Lucien used a pure silver dagger to carve out several magic traps, and then took out a box in the corner that was saved with the "preservation organ" magic.
Tube the dark red blood, and at the same time open the magic notebook on the table next to it and in the soul library, so that you can record the affairs of the resentful spirits at any time.
Obtaining the dust of resentful spirits is Lucien's main purpose, but it is also normal to study this undead creature by the way, and it is close to the soul. Studying it will help Lucien strengthen his own soul and understand the undead.
Magic-like.
When you open the glass test tube engraved with magic runes, a strong smell of sulfur comes out, and the dark red blood rolls out of bright red bubbles like magma from time to time.
Lucien recited a difficult and difficult to pronounce incantation, connected his mental power to a certain alien space, and then sprinkled the devil's blood forward.
The dark red blood stopped strangely in mid-air and divided into drops of blood at an incredible speed.
These drops of blood soon formed a small magic circle full of blood and evil smell, and suddenly evaporated.
In the light red blood mist, a transparent figure suddenly appeared. Its hands, feet and face were very blurry. Only the thick resentment and viciousness could be clearly felt or even seen.
Although he still doesn't understand the principles of this space, the structure of apprentice-level magic is relatively simple. Lucien has gone through many virtual exercises, and "summoning low-level undead creatures" was a smooth success.
As soon as the transparent figure whose face could barely be seen appeared, he opened his mouth and seemed to make a sharp and harsh cry, and rushed towards Lucien, as if he felt the breath of life that disgusted him.
.
Lucien didn't panic at all, the magic trap was activated, and the air around the wraith became turbulent, tightly binding it like a rope.
This is a "spirit binding" apprentice-level magic specifically used to bind spirits. However, it has a corresponding high-level version that can transform knights into an undead creature called a spirit binding corpse, while retaining the original strength and intelligence.
Go up and gain the undead trait.
At the same time as the screams were heard, a transparent ring-shaped wall appeared around the resentful spirit, and sound ripples could be seen vibrating on it.
The trap "Silent Barrier" set by apprentice-level magic.
Since the screams of the resentful spirits were offset by the silencer barrier, Lucien did not have direct contact, but he still felt nauseated and had a slight feeling of vomiting. He also "heard" a shrill sound in a daze.
"The screams of resentful spirits are infrasound waves with a certain intensity but not high. They are highly penetrating and can cause certain damage to the human body. They cannot be heard directly." Lucien held back his discomfort and wrote down the magic notes in the Soul Library.
The characteristics of the attack of the vengeful spirit were instantly recorded, "Sounds of this frequency seem to be able to cause mental hallucinations in people, and they feel that they are 'hearing' the screams of the vengeful spirit. It is a bit special. You need to write down the approximate frequency range of the fluctuation."
Due to limited strength and equipment, Lucien was unable to accurately quantify many things.
The spirit body was restrained, and the screams were neutralized by the silencer barrier. The resentful spirit was helplessly struggling in place, getting more and more crazy.
Lucien remained unmoved and allowed it to show its teeth and claws in front of him. He activated the alchemy array on the table, and golden rays of light lit up.
"Weight, 21.26 grams, heavier than expected." Lucien recorded the data measured by the alchemy array without expression, "The power cannot be measured..."
After recording the basic data, Lucien began to recite incantations, cast apprentice-level magic on the ghosts, and record the effects.
"The mage's hand penetrates directly and cannot touch the spirit body."
"Acid splashing has no effect."
"Frost Ray has no effect."
"Homanz's choking cough caused certain fluctuations in the transparent body of the resentful spirit, resulting in a small amount of damage. It is initially suspected that the cause is wave interference or magnetic field disorder."
"Maris's small flames have a slight effect, and the cause cannot be determined."
Each apprentice-level magic was cast, and Lucien initially assessed the effects and speculated on the causes.
The resentful spirit gradually became less crazy and became more transparent, shrinking into the spirit-binding magic trap as if it was afraid of Lucien.
Lucien looked at the reaction of the resentful spirit and continued to record calmly: "There is a small amount of instinct left."
Then Lucien cast apprentice-level magic of pure illumination such as light spell and dancing light spell. Seeing that under their illumination, the resentful spirit became excited and wanted to escape, but was restrained and unable to escape, so in the light
, its resentment and malice disappeared little by little, but the dissipation speed was very slow, not as good as the church's holy light attack.
"Wraiths of this level are very afraid of strong light."
"There seems to be a slight change in weight, but the alchemy array in Elementary Alchemy cannot measure it."
…………
After completing the various experiments he had prepared, Lucien looked at the resentful spirit that had almost curled up into a ball, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are free."
Until now, Lucien had the illusion that he was destroying nationally protected creatures.
After several strong light spells were cast, the resentful spirit that had been seriously injured completely disappeared, and bits of transparent, shimmering dust slowly fell into the magic trap.
If it was a sudden encounter, Lucien really didn't know if he could successfully kill a resentful spirit, but magic is always the most powerful when he is prepared, and he killed this resentful spirit so easily and simply.
.
The dust completely fell, and Lucien recorded the data: "21.25 grams. Considering the error of the alchemy array, it is difficult to judge whether it is consistent and whether the consciousness of the wraith has weight."
After recording the experiment, Lucien collected the resentful spirit dust into a glass test tube, then slowly made some preparations to dismantle his laboratory, and gathered some utensils and items.
…………
When the service started the next day, Lucien got up and walked to the Musicians Association. Having become Princess Natasha's temporary music consultant, it was obvious that he was no longer suitable to continue his job as a librarian, and the income from the concerts was also reduced.
