The two-handed giant sword in Lucien's hand is plain and unpretentious, with a restrained edge, and the faint luster flowing in it contains a sacred and solemn taste, but what makes Leo's body and voice tremble is not its possible value, but its value. It was very familiar, very much like the two-handed giant sword he saw that night when Ivanovsky was chasing and killing Lucien.

"Leo, you have a good vision. This two-handed giant sword is called the Purifier. The last owner was Ivanovsky. When he chased me, I killed him in reverse."

Lucien smiled calmly and plainly, and was not at all worried that the exposure of the "Purifier" giant sword would make people suspect that he knew the existence of the Necromancer World, because at that time Ivanovsky used his outstanding and superb "acting skills" "Let everyone believe that he came to chase and kill him, instead of fleeing towards the gap in the necromancer world at the bottom of the mine.

In the process of chasing and killing him, it is not strange that he was counter-killed by himself in a remote mountain forest with the help of terrain, pre-arranged traps, powerful magic items, etc., especially Nikonov did not find anyone fighting at the bottom of the mine Traces, and Ivanovsky was not seen in the Necromancer, so that the previous inference is the only "true" result beyond doubt.

In addition, it is not easy for an intermediate magician to charm, insinuate, and control a strong-willed grand knight. If he encounters the "disturbing" bloodline of Ivanovsky, it will be impossible . His resistance to magic is very high, combined with his own will, unless it is a high-level magician, it is possible to charm and control him, and he would not dare to ask him about the existence of the Necromancer World from his mouth. The leaked secret requires at least the nine-ring magic to "invade the mind", otherwise it will be sober as if being controlled by someone to commit suicide as soon as it is questioned.

In fact, the opposite is also true. If Ivanovsky hadn't been captured and tortured to reveal this secret, the possibility of the big man behind him would not have told him the existence of the Necromancer World and how to enter it.

From the comparison of the list of saints who opposed the Pope at the Supreme Theological Conference and the list of cardinals who besieged Wilfried the "Pale Lord", Lucien believed that he had already stood in front of the secret door that could shock the whole world. I can perceive the problem, and have a deeper understanding of the value of the Necromancer World. I understand that once the things I know about its existence are exposed, let alone others, at least the current pope and saints of the Northern Church will definitely ignore it. Face to kill himself personally.

These two lists, the Northern Church clearly placed them in front of the world, without worrying about being seen, because the premise of understanding the real weirdness of these two lists is to understand the "Pale Lord" Wilfrey Although De did not disappear, he had a close relationship with the missing legendary magicians. They conducted a mysterious experiment together, and knew the existence of the Necromancer World, and knew that there were secrets about immortality hidden deep in the Necromancer World. Most of these people can guess something whether they read these two lists or not.

Therefore, even though the Magic Council collected the historical materials of the northern and southern churches, they couldn't find anything from them.

After Leo heard Lucien's plain answer, although he was only middle-aged, his face with deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes suddenly became blank and empty, as if the meaning of his own life suddenly disappeared, and his hands were visible to the naked eye. Trembling, revealing the turbulent emotions in his heart that could not be calmed down.

Lucien looked at him quietly without speaking. After five minutes, Leo forced a smile with complicated emotions: "Thank you, master, for avenging me."

His voice is full of strong joy and deep regret, loss, and confusion.

Lucien understands his feelings very well, because if it were him, if an enemy who killed his whole family was not killed by himself, if he witnessed his death with his own eyes, he would feel the same loss and regret.

"The dead will eventually pass away..." Lucien spoke slowly, ready to comfort Leo, but Leo interrupted Lucien's words a little abnormally, "Master, please allow me to go to the side and be quiet for a few minutes. "

As Lucien nodded in understanding, Leo walked towards a huge boulder next to him. His steps seemed to be calm and steady, but after walking a few steps, he almost tripped over a small stone and a tree root, and his tall body stumbled forward. .

After coming to the boulder, Leo knelt down on one knee without any scruples, kissed the dry moss on the stone with his lips, drew an orthodox cross on his chest with his right hand, and muttered "Diana" to himself. , "Xiaomi Haier" and other names.

Lucien took a few steps to the side, not eavesdropping on what he was praying for. The knights who grew up in the country to which the church belongs, no matter whether they really believe in the God of truth, whether they completely violate the "Holy Code" of the church, or whether they do For blasphemous things, when their mood is agitated, when they are unconscious, they will draw crosses and pray. This is the deep imprint of being preached since childhood and being taken in and out of church by parents before they have the ability to discern, and has nothing to do with piety.

"Childhood experience really affects everyone's behavior pattern... This can also be used as a direction for arcane research." Lucien thought divergently.

A few minutes later, Leo came back slowly, and he said with a little tiredness: "Master, let's go, leave Ural State quickly. The night watchmen and knights are chasing around like mad dogs, if I hadn't smuggled Many times, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid them."

He has reconciled complex emotions such as bitterness, relief, loss, regret, sadness and joy back to the bottom of his heart, earnestly fulfilling his duties as a guide and fulfilling his obligations.

Then he took out a pair of boots painted with dark golden patterns: "Master, these are the boots I picked up from the corpse of the magician. They seem to have the ability to teleport over short distances."

"The boots of dodge, a third-level medium magic item, can improve the magician's agility to the level of a third-level knight, and at the same time, the three-ring magic 'short-distance teleportation' twice a day."

After checking the boots, Lucien smiled and agreed with Leo's suggestion: "Okay, let's go straight through the Ural Mountains. The monsters here are still within my ability, and I have a magician's cabin."

After finishing speaking, Lucien comforted him again: "Leo, when you get to Alto, stay there and don't go back to the East in exile. I think it's time for you to reconsider your descendants. Take the two-handed giant sword of the Purifier first, it will come in handy when dealing with monsters in the mountains."

Hearing the word descendant, Leo's expression became complicated again. In this world where blood inherits power, title, property and glory, most people value their descendants very much.

Leo took the "Purifier" silently as if he was thinking about something, looked at it carefully, and then carried it to open the way in front of Lucien.

…………

The evening of the 20th of the late spring month (April).

A carriage drove into the small town of Massawa from the northern province of Tilan, which was only half a day away from Alto.

Accompanied by "The Butler" Leo, the "blond-haired and blue-eyed" Lucien stepped out of the carriage and stepped into the familiar hotel, while looking at the seemingly crowded crowd around him.

"I set off from Alto on April 9, 816 of the sacred calendar and arrived here. It was almost exactly three years before and after." Lucien thought with a little emotion, and a sense of intimacy emerged in his heart, as if It's the feeling of coming back to "hometown".

After leaving the Ural State, Lucien and Leo traveled all the way through the depths of the mountains and encountered many monster attacks, but they were all solved by relying on the magical power of the fourth ring and successfully arrived at the northern fortress.

Given that the northern fortress is guarded by two legendary powerhouses, "God's Radiance" and "Chaos Serpent", Lucien and Leo climbed far away from the towering snow peak and entered the Valori However, it also delayed a lot of time. The itinerary that was supposed to arrive at the end of March was delayed until late April.

Massawa is a small town, and it is not directly under the Grand Duke, so there is nothing special about this hotel. The lobby is the restaurant. Many guests with different accents and different dresses are dining, and they do not have the so-called noble etiquette when dining. Talking to each other enthusiastically.

"The 'Alto Music Festival' this time is much worse than three years ago, but it can be regarded as a grand festival of mainland music. I was reluctant to leave and stayed for more than a week." A man wearing a silk shirt, obviously wealthy The expensive middle-aged man said to the three guests who shared the table with him.

Lucien came to his senses after hearing these words. This year is the year of the Alto Music Festival again, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up: "But that's okay, Natasha should have come out from the bottom of the monastery, and I have to contact her first. She, otherwise, going back as a musician will not underestimate the church's ability to collect information?"

Since he won the Holm Crown Award, he has a good reputation in the Magic Council. Lucien was not careless and continued to disguise himself, because the church has probably put the genius magician Lucien Evans X and the great musician Lucien Evans together. connected together.

Under Lucien's gaze, Leo walked up to the middle-aged man and asked politely, "Hello, sir, the tables in the lobby are already full, and only your long table is still vacant. Can we sit here."

Before returning to Alto, Lucien hoped to inquire about recent events and news from his friends, and waited until tonight to construct the "Professor's Infrasound Resonance" in his soul as his fifth four-ring magic , and set off directly to "back" Alto tomorrow.

"No problem. During this period of time, people who rushed to Alto returned one after another, and the hotels along the way were very crowded." The middle-aged man saw that Lucien was handsome, elegant, and accompanied by a butler. He seemed to be a nobleman, so he was very excited. He politely agreed, and the other three guests had no objections.

Under the service of Leo, Lucien sat down at the dining table and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Michel from the Kingdom of Syracuse. I don't know how to address you?"

"I'm Greenton, who travels to and from the Dark Mountain Fortress to do business with Alto and Tria." The middle-aged businessman replied with a smile, and the other two male and female guests also introduced themselves.

Lucien sighed pretending to regret: "I originally went to Alto to participate in the music festival, but unfortunately encountered a lot of things on the way like bad luck, and ended up being more than ten days late and missed the music festival, what a pity. From what you said earlier, Mr. Greenton, it seems that you have just returned from Alto, can you tell me about the music festival?"

"This is really a regrettable experience." Greenton said quite understandingly, "In fact, this music festival is very good, but it is only because the music festival three years ago was unprecedentedly grand and full of profound significance of musical reform and the inheritance of the times. , so in contrast, this music festival without the participation of two great musicians, Master Christopher and Mr. Lucien Evans, seems much more ordinary, which disappointed many people."

"Of course, Mr. Victor's concert in the chant hall is equally beautiful and full of real musical atmosphere, showing a superb standard."
