Throne of Magical Arcana

Lucien didn't expect that in the past two months Sturk has been full of turmoil, which made his plan to go to the Kingdom of Holm once again hindered. However, since he came to this world, he has always encountered various difficulties in his life. , Relying on the spirit of never shrinking and never giving up, it is difficult to get to today, only one strait away from the Magic Council. Compared with the dangers encountered before, the obstacles this time are really nothing.

So, Lucien asked calmly, "Is he really a traitor? What's his name?"

There are some things that must be asked clearly. I don't want to be used as a gunman by Sturk's contacts, and I don't want to be an abandoned child in the end.

"The Ferryman" said in a stern tone: "His name is Harrison Brown, a formal knight. Two weeks ago, the "Sturk Daily" published a report on his acceptance of the medal. The reason is: 'Defended the Lord in the dark Purified nearly fifty lost lambs.' If you doubt what I said, you can go to the city library and find that issue of the newspaper. There is even a speech he gave in the city council when he was honored He has no remorse for the more than 30 magic apprentices who died because of him. You must know that most of these apprentices are only twelve or thirteen years old, have only received basic training in arcane theory, and have not yet entered the state of meditation."

"I'll check." Lucien nodded, "but I still have one question."

"Ferryman" looked at Lucien's slightly dull face: "What?"

"According to my travels and previous experience, for such traitors, in order to ensure their safety and avoid retaliation, the Church has always secretly rewarded them, or let them directly join the Night Watch team. I have basically never heard of it Order of Knighthood. Perhaps, this is a trap?" Lucien would not joke about his own life.

It is not surprising that the "Ferryman" can see this from Lucien. Although magicians like them who grew up under the suppression and pursuit of the church will have a great lack of arcane theory, they are absolutely sensitive and adaptable. Better than those educated in the security environment of the Council: "Yes, we also think this may be a trap of the Night's Watch. But we must kill him to deter those who are about to move inside."

"In the first place, we would try to assassinate you without you. Now I am giving you this matter so that you can pass the test and go to Allinge as soon as possible. If you refuse, it doesn't matter. Leave me a contact information. In the future, there will be other I will let you know when I can prove my identity." He paused, "If you accept it, you can make a request if necessary, and we will help you distract the night watchmen. But what method do we use to distract others? I will tell you, after all, you haven’t proved your identity yet.”

"As long as you succeed, we will welcome new companions with the greatest enthusiasm."

He silently added in his heart, if you fail, you won't be implicated in us.

"What is the power of Harrison Brown's bloodline? What extraordinary weapons or items are there? What are the rules of activity? I think you should have collected this information." Lucien asked with a smile. As an official magician, even face to face The battle is also very sure to kill knights of the same level, not to mention the secret attack. The main problem lies in other aspects, "Through this information, I can determine whether I have the confidence to kill Harrison Brown under the protection of the night watchman and Get out of the trail."

The "Ferryman" was very satisfied with the conversation with such a clever magician, and said bluntly: "Brown's bloodline power is 'regeneration', a good bloodline from trolls, with great strength and fast speed, as long as the head is not chopped off The body will regenerate infinitely until the energy of the body is exhausted. Of course, since it is of troll blood, acid and fire can destroy this regeneration of him, making him truly dead."

"Originally, he had a first-level extraordinary weapon, the Withering Spear, given by the council, with additional poison damage. Later, the church rewarded him with a second-level extraordinary item—the demon hunter's shield. In addition to the defensive power, it can also absorb a certain degree of elemental damage. As for whether there are other extraordinary items, we don’t know.”

"His pattern of activity is..."

The "Ferryman" told Lucien one by one the collected information about Brown, and Lucien listened quietly and analyzed possible opportunities.

Except for the clergy, aristocrats and prestigious high-society people in the city of Sturk, Brown does not accept visits from other people; he rarely goes out; he likes oil painting and wax art; it is said that he will go to the holy city of Reims in five months Settling down... One piece of information echoed in Lucien's mind, and it wasn't until the "Ferryman" finished that Lucien asked in confirmation, "Brown will attend the opening ceremony of the Sog Wax Museum the morning after tomorrow? "

"Yes, Sorger, the wax artist, promised Brown that before he went to Reims, he would make a lifelike wax figure of him and put it in the wax museum in recognition of his contribution to fighting the darkness. So he will definitely go Participate in the opening ceremony. Of course, it is not ruled out that the night watchman asked him to come out for activities frequently." After the ferryman answered, he repeated, "At that time, if we need to distract the night watchman, please let us know in advance."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Lucien accepted the matter with a dull expression.

After agreeing on the contact point and mark with the ferryman, Lucien traveled into the darkness in a small boat, and used magic and knights to get rid of the tracking.

…………

At midnight on the second day, Lucien, wearing a black hooded robe, appeared beside a stone arch bridge, which was one of the two bridges leading to the island where the "Soger Wax Museum" was located. Kojima, it's the best option. Walking on another bridge will make a big circle.

In addition, as far as Lucien knows, because Sog, a wax figure artist, is very popular in Sturk, many nobles and big businessmen will come to participate in the ceremony tomorrow, and their private sharp boats will definitely fill the wax museum The water surface can be docked nearby, so even if Sorge comes through the canal by a sharp boat, he will disembark on the water surface here, and then go to the wax museum through the stone arch bridge.

It was the middle of the night at this time, the sky was full of stars, the water surface reflected the waves, and it was quiet everywhere.

Lucien stood by the bridge, pressed his hands on the bridge surface, and opened his mouth to let out a silent scream.

Waves of ripples were uploaded from Lucien's hand to the stone arch bridge, and then fed back, and then adjusted and fed back. Gradually, the stone bridge began to shake visibly, and the swing became more and more violent. .

"Professor's Resonating Hand"!

Seeing that the vibration of the stone bridge was about to reach its limit and would collapse at any time, Lucien suddenly stopped and watched it gradually calm down, unchanged from before.

But in fact, the internal structure of this stone bridge has already been damaged a lot. Although it is not yet possible to collapse, it is enough to produce the small changes that Lucien hoped for when the load-bearing reaches a certain level.

…………

The black sharp boats engraved with coats of arms stopped beside the street. Harrison Brown came down with his entourage. Can I have the same status as them?

After watching quietly for a few minutes, Brown, surrounded by his entourage, walked towards the stone arch bridge 100 meters away, where there were no abnormalities.

As he walked, Brown looked around. Although he knew that there were several powerful night watchmen nearby to protect and monitor him, he understood that his betrayal had angered the Magic Council, and he had to be cautious.

"But I have to obey the church's requirements. I have to go out and walk around occasionally. I hope these months will be safe, and when I get to Lance, I can completely relax and enjoy life."

In this caution, Brown and his entourage set foot on the stone arch bridge.

At this time, on a sharp boat docked not far from the bridge, Lucien in black formal attire nodded to a carriage on the bank: "Remember to send this cart of steel to Utaka Trading Company. This is yours. remuneration."

The young man driving the carriage showed a simple and honest smile: "Please rest assured, sir."

The carriage moved slowly, and Lucien also signaled the boatman to row the pointed boat, as if preparing to pass under the stone arch bridge.

The heavy steel carriage drove up to the stone arch bridge not far away, and Brown had just walked to the middle of the bridge.

Harrison Brown walked slowly, looking left and right, but the pedestrians coming and going were so ordinary, and occasionally those who seemed not weak were also the followers of those nobles.

"They shouldn't jump in knowing it's a trap, right? Especially after two weeks, it's the time when they are most vigilant and vigilant. Uh, maybe the members of the Magic Council will be there when I go to the holy city of Lance It's very possible to do it on the way!" Brown was relatively relieved about the current situation, but worried about the journey five months later.

Just when Brown's thoughts were racing, he suddenly felt a wave-like vibration under his feet, as if the stone arch bridge was about to collapse.

"Someone attacked!" This was Brown's subconscious reaction, so the milky white light on his body suddenly lit up, covering him with snow-white feathers.

The third-level magic "Angel Feather"!

At the same time, with his right hand, he pulled out a pointed green short spear, and with his left hand, he took the shield from his entourage and blocked it in front of him.

He did all this so quickly, fully reflecting his rich combat experience.

But the wave-like vibration gradually subsided, and the stone bridge quickly returned to calm.

"Is the stone bridge in disrepair for a long time?" Harrison Brown thought in astonishment, looked around, and saw several sharp boats passing by, and a handsome young man with his hands behind his back stood on the prow of one of them. He was wearing a black formal suit and looked at his "inexplicable" actions on the bridge with a smile.

Then the pointed boat passed under the stone arch bridge.

…………

"When the stone bridge swayed just now, nearly ten people reacted completely differently from ordinary people. Excluding a few noble knights, there were about five night watchmen. They were the adventurers on Brown's right hand side, and the gorgeously dressed ones who were walking down the bridge. The merchant, the couple following Brown, and the boatman in the sharp boat behind me."

"In addition to the Withering Spear and the Demon Hunter's Shield, Brown also has a third-level magical item..."

Looking at the water ahead, Lucien followed the sharp boat and disappeared at the intersection of the canal.

From the very beginning, Lucien didn't intend to really bring down the stone bridge, because it would be dangerous to do it directly when the night watchman hadn't even been roughly determined, and a surprise attack that brought down the stone bridge and caused chaos might not have a good effect.

This is just a test.
