Throne of Magical Arcana

At the end of the corridor on the thirteenth floor of the "Holm Royal Magic Tower", there were two heavy iron-gray metal doors. As Rodham activated the mechanism to open them, a gloomy chaos appeared inside.

"Elemental Will and the Royal Magic Court of Holm each own half of the half-plane warehouse. It is said that this half-plane is where Her Majesty Hathaway's magic tower is located." Lazar once came after joining Elemental Will.

Lucien tried his best to look inside with his quasi-knight's sharp eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't penetrate the chaos at all.

"Mr. Evans, please come in." Rodham meticulously made the invitation gesture, fully demonstrating the etiquette from the royal training.

Lucien nodded slightly, and stepped inside without hesitation.

As if piercing through a thick layer of fog, Lucien saw the sky full of stars, which penetrated the transparent and crystal-clear ceiling and filled the vast warehouse with no boundaries.

There was nothing in the warehouse, and everything was frozen and dull. It was not until Lucien, Rodham, and Lazar came in that they came back to life and became vivid again.

"Rodham, why did you come in?" The cold and rigid voice came from every corner of the warehouse, and the atmosphere was immediately oppressive and dignified. It seemed that as long as Rodham answered incorrectly, a terrifying elemental storm would descend.

Rodham took out a mysterious badge with the elemental symbols of the ancient magic empire: "Dear Mr. Zidelman, this is the token for Lord Morris to open the warehouse, and there are orders for you in it. At the same time, Mr. Evans' right hand is Huo Ulm's crown ring, you should recognize it."

"Really?" With the sound of a cold and rigid voice, the mysterious badge in Rodham's hand suddenly disappeared, and Lucien, who was standing next to him, couldn't find out how it disappeared regardless of his mental strength, intuition, or visual inspection. , as if what "Zidelman" did in the warehouse was extremely simple.

Because Lucien, whose knowledge of the earth in the soul library is very useful, occasionally inevitably feels a little contemptuous of magicians, but at this time, he is in awe of the powerful and unknown. There are many, many knowledges in magic that he cannot understand. , can not be complacent!

However, Lucien's main energy in the future will definitely continue to change and transform the research on earth knowledge into arcane and magic. Only a fool will give up his advantages and strengths! It's not too late to wait until most of the advantages are transformed into strength before studying other magic knowledge that I don't understand for the time being.

Of course, it is also what every qualified magician should do in the process of dedicating part of his energy to delve into the three cornerstones of magic: soul, consciousness, and spiritual power.

"The verification is accurate, Mr. Evans, you can choose potions, materials, unique magic, magic items, magic circles, books that record rare knowledge, etc. worth two thousand arcane points." With Zidelman's voice appearing again, The brilliance brought by the surrounding starlight gradually receded, revealing magic racks and magic cabinets one after another. They were numbered and filled with objects, some were as dull as ordinary things, and some were as brilliant as dreams...

Lucien stared at these items dazedly, more distracted than in the magic tower left by the legendary magician Maskelyne, because there were only magic materials at that time.

Resisting the urge to exchange for some weird things, Lucien hurriedly walked to a place full of coat racks according to the instructions of Rodham and Lazar. robes, cloaks and mage hats.

"Davi's Robe (pseudo), the imitation of the legendary magic robe worn by the 'creator' David Rodell, a member of the highest judging group, is a ninth-level high-level, which can reduce the buffer time of casting spells by three seconds, and provides a level equal to that of a sixth-level Sky Knight. Defensive power, enhance magic resistance to the level of a ninth-level archmage...you need to reach the level of a seventh-level magician in mental strength to wear it, otherwise you will become an idiot.

Although it's just an imitation magic robe, its value is also immeasurable. It can only be exchanged by making enough contributions (10 million arcane points) or using a normal dukedom or marquis. - David Rodell"

The first black robe with a hood, which resembled the style of an ancient magic empire, almost blinded Lucien. This is the best magic robe I have ever seen! Just reducing the casting buffer time by three seconds can allow magic below level six to be cast without interruption, destroying the enemy like a storm before the mental power is exhausted, and the casting buffer time of magic at level six and above will also be greatly reduced. Truly a true magician's dream item.

But that price is unbelievable. As far as Lucien knows, the income of the Violet family from the territory directly under them plus the taxation of the Principality is only 800,000 gentalers a year (without deducting expenses), which is already in the forefront. big family.

Pulling his eyes out of the magic robe, Lucien saw the blood-boiling equipment such as the seventh-level mirror magic robe that can reflect long-range attacks and single-target damage magic.

It took a long time for Lucien to find two magic robes suitable for his wealth and level: "Water Fairy Magic Robe" and "Transformation Magic Robe" - other magic robes were either too expensive or the effects were not suitable.

Among them, the magic robe of the water goblin is only worth 1,500 arcane points, and the two magic effects of "brilliant" and "charming" are constant and the defense ability of a third-level knight.

"Whether a magician wearing this magic robe, no matter a man or a woman, will become extremely attractive, and will be crazily sought after by the opposite sex. When buying things in their hands, they will often enjoy unbelievable discounts or even rebates. Please note that There's no small chance of being chased by same-sex people and being hurt by irrational admirers."

After reading the introduction, Lucien shuddered and felt that his charm seemed to be pretty good, so he put it down and picked up the "Transformation Robe".

"The third-level intermediate magic robe has a constant 'appearance transformation ability', and provides the magic resistance of a third-ring magician and the defensive ability of a second-level knight. At the same time, it can be transformed into a mouse, an owl, and a troll once a day."

"What changes is the appearance, what does not change is the heart. - Philip Assuncao"

This "Transfiguration Robe" is worth 1,960 arcane points, which is relatively expensive among magic items of the same level, but Lucien decided to choose it after thinking about it, because it made up for it in a certain way. own shortcomings.

After arriving at the Magic Council, Lucien borrowed a lot of books, which contained magic knowledge of changing factions. Unfortunately, Lucien had a hard time learning the part involving human body deformation, and he couldn't understand or analyze magic.

According to the above description, human body transformation needs to dissect the body of the deformed object first, understand and memorize its specific structure, magic lines, etc. (no need to understand its principle), so as to analyze and learn magic, and transform successfully. Lucien is no stranger to anatomy, but the principle of how to deform after dissection needs a long study, because it is contrary to his past cognition. Fortunately, he knew that this was a magical world, and he could anticipate and accept similar things, otherwise he would never want to learn transformation magic.

And with this magic robe, Lucien only needs to activate it to obtain the ability to transform, which may play a vital role at certain times.

After telling Ziddleman and Rodham, Lucien cast the appraisal technique, left a mark of mental power, put the transformation robe on his body, and then moved this ancient magic empire-style robe into black double Long-breasted dress with trousers and leather shoes.

For the remaining forty arcane points, Lucien exchanged another ten bottles of "Florence's Elixir", a deep purple potion that helps stabilize the soul and mental power. He planned to take one bottle a month to make up for the "element" ring. The foundation after the rapid increase in meditation efficiency under blessing is unstable.

Two thousand arcane points were used up in the blink of an eye, and just as Lucien was about to greet Lazar and Rodham to leave, Zidelman's voice sounded again: "Mr. Evans, since you are the winner of Holm Crown Award The one who is an honorary member of the Royal Magic Court of Holm, so you can also get a random gift. The magic items on your body are higher than low-level magicians in terms of quantity and grade, so I will give you a book."

After finishing speaking, a book with an elegant cover and a good-looking appearance that is not as rigid as other books naturally appeared in Lucien's hand: "Magic Item Matching", author: Florence Lanka Constantine.

Lucien flipped through it casually, and it contained knowledge about how to avoid two magic items getting too close to affect each other. For example, if Lucien wants to wear rings on all ten fingers, he needs to combine the two conflicting The magic ring is far away, and a buffer ring is placed in the middle. Due to the difficulty of finding a suitable match and the cost of magic items, most magicians wear at most two magic rings on one hand, and they do not conflict.

After taking a deep look at the treasure-like warehouse, Lucien and Lazar followed Rodham and left the demiplane.

…………

Early the next morning, the Hexagram platform.

Lucien and Lazar were wearing the same black double-breasted long dress and the same black top hat. With their hands in their pockets, they stood upright and waited for the magic steam train to arrive.

Woo! A sharp siren sounded, and the dark blue magical steam train stopped in front of the two of them.

A well-dressed middle-aged ordinary man got out of the car. He looked up and took a deep look at Lucien, and then quickly walked out of the platform with the others.

Lucien and Lazar walked up slowly and sat by the window.

…………

Leaving the platform, the middle-aged man walked faster and faster. When he reached a remote alley, he took out a scroll and tore it open, sticking it on his face.

The majestic and holy light was on, and the man had veins popping out of his hands, and he seemed to be in great pain, but he endured it until the light disappeared, and a piece of transparent "paper" appeared in his hand. On the "paper" was the image of Lucien he saw just now.

This magical technique actually extracted what he saw with his eyes!

Then he wrapped the paper, came to a remote church, and sat on a chair in the front row to pray quietly.

After praying, he left calmly and peacefully, but the paper was left on the seat next to him for the pastor who came out to get it.

The paper passed through layers and finally found its way into the hands of Cardinal Philibert of the Diocese of Holm.

"This is Lucien Evans X, the latest winner of the Holm Crown Award? It seems very young."

He turned his head to the cardinal and the giant of the referee in front of him and said: "Raise his level to annihilation level. If there is a chance, send a night watchman to clean him up. At the same time, I will wait until the latest data accumulation is enough, and pass it to the holy city together." Great Hall of Light."

Although he is the winner of the Holm Crown Award, Lucien himself is weak and has not done any sensational things. He is not yet qualified to enter the purification sequence. Only after gaining the face of the church can they be "promoted".

"Your will is our will." The referee giant Greenton said humbly, "But it is very difficult to eliminate him. On the one hand, this kind of potential magician will definitely stay and study near Allinge. There is no chance. On the other hand A mid-level night watchman will be killed by his Holm crown ring, unless it is a cardinal-level night watchman. But that will face double revenge from the will of the elements and the council of magic. If there is a chance, I would like to apply to use Relic."

The overall strength of the Diocese of Holm is several times stronger than that of the Diocese of Violet, otherwise it would have been completely wiped out by the Magic Council long ago. They have enough ability to support until the teleportation array is opened, and the holy city comes to help.

Philibel nodded and sighed softly: "The Magic Council still has so many geniuses in recent decades. Fortunately, after several popes reformed the foundation of divine arts, we are not bad."

When it came to the pope's transformation of the divine art, several cardinals and court magnates showed mixed emotions, ranging from bewilderment to rejoicing.

…………

Allinge, the thirty-fifth floor of the headquarters of the Magic Council.

Nineteen of the twenty-four members of the Supreme Jury came, all seven great arcanists arrived, and eight of the eleven legendary magicians arrived.

"According to the information passed by Malfurion, several druid elders are unwilling to cooperate with us, so there are many members of the 'nature hate faction' among the druids who came here, wanting to sabotage, And there are a few people in the direct blood of the elf royal family, Malfurion can only pretend not to know, let us deal with it." An old man with white hair but clear blue eyes said slowly, he was dressed in black Evening gown, wearing a bow tie, tall, with a kind face, "This is related to our deciphering the mysteries of divine arts, and there must be no mistakes."

"Speaker Douglas, you called us here for something that is not even a problem?"

The person who spoke was a short, handsome old man in a bright red robe. He had silver hair mixed with a lot of black silk, and his red pupils were bright and aggressive.
