Throne of Magical Arcana

Just after returning to the castle, Lucien saw Joanna coming out of the corridor next to her with a two-handed giant sword.

"Master Evans, the corpse puppets in the castle lost control after the evil necromancer was killed by you, but we have already cleaned them up." Joanna lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, seemingly respectfully reporting.

In her heart, besides the fear and admiration for the strength of Lucien's knights, there is also a lot of dissatisfaction. He, a powerful paladin, hired himself and others to protect the adventurer team, obviously to confuse the line of sight, to hide Baron Habero and the necromancer from investigating and raiding. But in this way, I, my husband, and my sister had to get involved in the battle between the strong with weak strength, and were almost killed by that damned, terrifying owl.

Lucien looked around and asked peacefully, "Are there any living people in the castle? Where are Simon, Betty, Wise and Mars?"

Joanna is not a girl like Betty. Even though she was mature, she still answered very seriously when faced with the question of the paladin: "Except for Mr. Simon discovered that there was a commotion in Gray Fog Town, so he rushed over to deal with it, suspecting that it was a small number of corpse puppets who hadn't escaped; Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars had been hiding in the storage room and dared not come out; Betty was in the Bathroom vomit."

"Vomit?" Lucien pinched the casting material with his left hand.

Joanna's glamorous face also showed a disgusted expression: "When dealing with the corpse puppets before, Betty found the ingredients for the dinner we were about to enjoy in the kitchen. They were all rotten human flesh, with eyeballs, tongues, and Fingers, covered with white maggots..."

As she spoke, she almost vomited. Such a scene was obviously unbearable.

Lucien nodded. It seems that the baron is planning to use rotting corpse poison in the food to make it easier to deal with him, but with the death of Kailin and the others, those materials lost their glamorous appearance: " Ms. Joanna, you don't need to call me Sir, just call me Mr. Evans, I don't have a title or title."

Joanna raised her head in a little doubt, and just happened to see Lucien's deep and charming eyes. Immediately, she seemed to be trapped in a vast dreamy starry sky and could not extricate herself. Her eyes were blurred and admiring: "Okay, Mr. Evans."

Lucien slowly asked her about her memories of the previous battle, and after finding that there was no problem, he used hypnotism to slightly modify some details without causing Joanna to rebound.

"I have no problem, Joanna, go to Gray Fog Town and help Simon deal with it, so that he will not be in danger alone." Lucien lifted the "charm of human beings".

Joanna woke up suddenly, her cheeks were flushed, she just stared at Mr. Evans in a daze, she felt that he was full of charm, it was so embarrassing, like an underage girl! However, with Mr. Evans' powerful strength, handsome appearance, elegant conversation, and gentle attitude, every woman must find him attractive, as long as he maintains an appreciative attitude.

"Mr. Evans, I'm going to Gray Mist Town right away." She felt her face was hot, so she walked quickly outside the castle.

Lucien quietly watched Joanna leave, then turned around and looked for opportunities to deal with the small details of Betty, Wise and Mars' memories and a few traces of battle in the baron's room.

…………

The dim candlelight flickered in the bedroom, Lucien looked at Simon, Joanna and Betty in front of him and said, "Thank you for maintaining the law and order in Gray Fog Town, and thank you for helping me during the battle, Baron Habero According to the adventurer's agreement, you can get one-tenth of the property in the castle, and the remaining one-third will be handed over to Viscount Stanley and the church. Lock the room and don't give it to thieves Chance."

For the time being, Lucien wanted to maintain his identity on the surface, so in order not to arouse the suspicion of the church and nobles, he did not take all of Baron Habero's belongings, as if a passing knight encountered such a thing by chance. .

In fact, Baron Habero's property is not much, the real value is his castle, territory and manor. The cash is because he needs to buy babies and children, maintain a luxurious life, and manage relationships so that the bishop and pastors of Cosel City will not find out that there is a problem with the small church in Gray Fog Town, so there are only sixty in total. Jintale's coin, and the family's second-level extraordinary weapon "Big Stone".

The nobles of the central and southern countries in the mainland, except for the top few, can hardly get at least one or two magic or divine items like Alto's nobles with titles and property, so the title of the most barren area in the mainland is very appropriate.

Moreover, Baron Habero's only set of extraordinary armor was paid to Hunter as a reward, and then mortgaged by Hunter to buy materials.

"Can we get twenty quintals?" A shrewd and steady man like Simon couldn't help swallowing his saliva, because one-tenth of the property is not just one-tenth of the coin, but also includes the extraordinary long Discount on swords. Only things with aristocratic qualities such as castles, estates and estates do not count.

According to the common sense that Lucien learned from Natasha, in Alto, the apprentice-level extraordinary items are about ten gold tales, and the low-level items (level 1, level 2) are tens to hundreds of gold tales. It varies, middle-level items (levels 3, 4, and 5) cost thousands to tens of thousands of gold thalers, and extraordinary items above that are difficult to calculate with money. They are all materials, items, territories, and ports. , cities, potions, knowledge, etc. are directly exchanged.

However, transcendent items have always been priceless, not only rare, but also not in the magic circle, noble circle, etc., and you can't buy it with Jintale. If it weren't for Natasha knowing that Lucien has the strength of a quasi-knight, she wouldn't have talked to him about this matter at all. For example, Victor's annual income was around 100 goldtales, but he didn't even have a supernatural item. Not touched.

"This two-handed giant sword is a second-level extraordinary item. It can make the user's strength close to that of a third-level great knight, crushing the enemy like a boulder. Although there are certain requirements for strength, the value is not less than one hundred and forty gold talers. It's not expensive." Lucien originally planned to make up for Gentale and take away this second-level two-handed giant sword, but it required the strength of an official knight to pick it up, so he had to give up.

At the same time, Lucien felt in his heart that he did not give Baron Habero a chance to get the "monolith", otherwise things would be even more troublesome.

After hearing what Lucien said, Simon, Joanna, and Betty looked at the pile of quintals on the table with shining eyes, and their expressions seemed a little excited. Together, there are only ten gentalers a year, and if you want to really save up to twenty, you need at least four or five years of difficult adventures.

"Thank you, Mr. Evans, but we didn't put much effort into it." Joanna first said modestly, and then hurriedly said, as if afraid of Lucien's repentance, "But we all need money for formal knight training, especially Betty. It will be delayed any longer, so I can only accept it brazenly."

Lucien saw them put away the quintal and put the rest into their purses, then smiled and said, "Before I arrive at Koser City, I will instruct Betty to do some formal knight training, hehe, the arrow before It’s so timely that you can learn from it too.”

On the one hand, Lucien was indeed grateful. On the other hand, when they were questioned by the church, the fact that he was able to conduct formal knight training would be known to the church. The side evidence was even stronger.

"Really?" Betty had an excited expression on her face. You must know that the knights trained by Kosher City are all nobles who are close to bankruptcy, and they themselves have not stimulated the blood power. How can it compare to a powerful paladin instructor like Mr. Evans!

Joanna and Simon also thanked again and again: "Thank you so much, Lord Evans!"

Lucien waved his hand: "I'm not a paladin, nor an aristocrat. I'm just a quasi-knight of Her Majesty the Princess. Because I have a lot of magical arts and magic items on my body, I appear to be powerful. Don't spread the word."

Before Joanna and the others answered, Lucien said again: "By the way, I was corroded by rot and death in the battle with the necromancer, and I was seriously injured. I need to rest and recover quietly tonight. Don't bother me." .And with such an injury, I can't rush to Wild Wolf Town to report to the church in advance, so I can only ask you to keep vigil tonight, and everyone will set off for Wild Wolf Town tomorrow morning."

Wild Wolf Town is the next town on this route, which also belongs to Baron Habero, but the trainee priest in the town church should not have been refined into a corpse puppet.

"Yes, Mr. Evans." It was another generous monetary reward and the promise of formal knight training. Simon, Joanna, and Betty had no hidden dissatisfaction anymore, and they answered in unison very excitedly and happily.

…………

The night gradually deepened, and the castle with only a few people seemed more quiet and dark, more mysterious and gloomy.

Lucien was lying quietly in the bedroom, playing with the invitation letter Hunter had received. It was just a lie that he said that he was corrupted by the breath of death. The real reason was that he still had an important thing to do.

Glancing at the invitation letter in his hand again, Lucien carefully compared it with another one recorded in the Soul Library:

"The same wording, the same no letterhead and no signature, but there is a different mark on the two invitation letters, one is a black six-pointed star, and the other is a small part of an inverted tree of life, which seem to correspond to the recipients one by one."

"Well, it's very possible. The magician's feast of death will definitely prevent the church from sending people to fake identities. Only such an invitation letter that only corresponds to a verified magician with no problems can prevent similar things from happening. The part of the inverted tree of life represents Hunter, and the black six-pointed star represents the apprentice. When the invitation letter received does not match his identity, he naturally snatched it from the original owner."

"According to the careful thinking of magicians, they must also guard against the danger of the church arresting people and interrogating the news and location."

"In that case, how do I get in?"

Lucien had already thought of a solution in his mind, but he needed to take a lot of risks, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"After the news about Hunter gets out, the time and place of the feast of death will definitely change. After all, he is an official necromancer who was invited."

"Unless I stay for a long time, it will be difficult to contact the local magician. Where can I get the changed time and place? And if I stay for a long time, it means I have missed it, and it doesn't make any sense."

"It seems that we need to take some risks!"

Lucien took out the morning light crystal ball and began to use astrology to divination.

The result of the divination was "unknown good or bad", which was blurred to a certain extent, causing Lucien to shake his head helplessly, but he still opened the suitcase, changed into a black robe with a hood, pushed open the window, and sneaked out quietly.

Although Gray Mist Town is still more than seven days away from Kesel City, it only takes two or three hours to cross mountains, cliffs and woods at the speed of a knight, while Lucien I'm going to visit Kalunldiya Castle directly tonight!
