Throne of Magical Arcana

The night in the month of passion (June) is not too hot, and the cool breeze brings a refreshing feeling.

But in the hall of John's house, the coolness has become deserted, with a bit of icy cold penetrating into the bone marrow, making people feel heavy sadness.

On the sofa made of mahogany, the family of four seemed silent, not in the mood to communicate, as if caught in the memories of the past.

From time to time, Alisa took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears that were falling secretly; Ivan's green face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists tightly when he thought of the hatred; Joel's intact right hand held a glass of strong wine, and occasionally took a , but this greatest hobby besides music could not make him open his brows a little bit; John had a calm expression, neither joy nor distortion, and the glass of fine wine in his left hand did not diminish in the slightest, like a stone statue.

"Hey, when people get old, they become soft-hearted and can't accept the passing of life. When I was in Aderjan District, I personally sent away so many good friends and neighbors, but they all recovered within a few days and returned to life. Full of enthusiasm for life, like when old Evans died of illness, hey." Joel sighed self-mockingly.

Aderjan District is a slum area, where many ordinary people at the lowest level live in precarious conditions, and there are also many men who simply rely on selling their strength to support their families, so many people suddenly fall ill and cannot get up again, and the death rate is the highest in the entire Alto the highest place. Joel and his family who came out of here are used to seeing death and parting.

Alisa glared at Joel, and said with tears: "How can they compare with little Evans, he is so young, not even twenty-one years old, but also so talented, noble, and hardworking , is the best and the best musician. Huh, he has no wife, no children yet, and the blood of the Evans family has been cut off like this."

After several years of aristocratic life, she speaks a lot more elegantly.

"Hey, if this accident didn't happen, we would be able to attend Little Evans' wedding in about half a year." Joel sighed again. Natasha's performance at the concert, the funeral, and the secret date between the two in the middle of the night convinced him that as long as the Grand Duke did not object, the two young people who were obviously in love would definitely be eager to enter the wedding hall. And will the Grand Duke oppose Her Royal Highness's normal marriage? Obviously not!

Such pity made the hall silent again, and then John stood up, comforting in a calm tone: "Dad, Mom, you should go to bed early, Lucien definitely doesn't want you to get sick because of him in Paradise Mountain."

"Okay, since you have said so, Little John, let's go back upstairs to sleep." Joel stood up and patted John on the shoulder, sighing again.

John, who has become a knight, is the backbone of the whole family, and his comfort is very effective, so Alisa put away her tears and told him: "Little John, you should also rest early, and don't squander your body as a knight. In the Dark Mountains When patrolling around the fortress, the stronger the body, the safer, there are many evil dark creatures and magicians."

She didn't pay much attention to the worries instilled in her by other noble ladies, but this time Lucien Evans was killed by the evil magician "Professor", she really took it seriously and worried about her own life. Eldest son, the vicinity of the Dark Mountain Fortress is much more dangerous than Alto.

When he heard the word magician, John's hands trembled slightly, and then he hugged Alisa: "Mom, don't worry, I will pay attention to myself. Only strict demands on myself, neither indulgence nor slack, Only then can I become a second-level knight, and I hope to be promoted to a grand knight within ten years. Only in this way can I fight against evil better, and fight against damned devils, demons, and magicians."

At the end, John couldn't help but curse.

At this time, the cool wind blowing in from the open window suddenly became much stronger, whining, like countless ghosts crying and howling. The outside became gloomy and the moonlight disappeared. If it weren't for the flickering yellow light on the copper candlesticks in the hall, maybe the surroundings would be pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.

"Who?" John sensed a bit of magical fluctuations from the wind, and at the same time noticed that someone was slowly walking down the stairs, so he stepped forward, drew out the extraordinary long sword placed on the coffee table, and stood firm against Joe. In front of Er, Alisa and Alvin.

Because he didn't feel the opponent's intention to attack, and he was worried that after he stepped forward to fight, other enemies would rush out from another corner, so that his parents would have no one to guard him, so he chose to stand by and wait for help, and notified him by shouting and asking. Knights and soldiers stationed outside.

Compared with his experienced and outstanding elder brother, Ivan, who had only been training as a knight for a few years, seemed very young and dazed. He didn't come back to his senses until John stopped drinking, and it took a lot of time to find his saber. After a lot of effort, he was sweating profusely and held the sword to protect the side.

The entire hall was extremely quiet, and John's shouting did not provoke any reaction, only the sound of clear and loud footsteps on the stairs, treading, treading, as if stepping on people's hearts.

Alisa tightly pulled Joel's sleeves with fear on her face, while Joel looked at John and Ivan worriedly. He and his wife are both in their forties, and they have lived a few years of aristocratic life comfortably and comfortably. Even if they die, there is no regret, but the sons are still so young, and they should have a better future.

"Who? Who?!" John asked without giving up, his strong will turned his mood from nervous to calm. This is a good area in the aristocratic area. There are many knights and great knights nearby, and even some big nobles have sky knights in their homes. Coupled with the patrolling night watchmen, the longer the delay, the better for my family.

A dim candlelight appeared at the corner of the stairs. John stared at it and blurted out:

"Lucien?!"

The one who was wearing a black dress and a bow tie, holding a silver candlestick and slowly walking down the stairs turned out to be the deceased Lucien Evans.

"Little Evans?!"

"Little Evans?!"

"Brother Lucien?!"

Joel, Alisa, and Aiwen also saw the face of the visitor clearly. Under the candlelight, the familiar handsome face was quiet and heavy, and the complexion on the face was fair but not pale, full of the brilliance of life.

"It's me, Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, John, and Ivan." Lucien tried to make himself smile, which would help ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't laugh no matter what.

Alisa exclaimed: "Little Evans, you have the Lord's permission to come and visit us one last time before ascending to Heaven Mountain?" She grew up in the Principality of Viorit, and she naturally understood everything that she could not understand and explain. Everything is attributed to the gods.

Under the excitement, she seemed to want to jump out.

"Mom, be careful, you're not Lucien! It's an evil magician who turned into Lucien to play with us!" John stopped Alisa's impulse.

Under the suppression of Lucien's undisguised mental power, he could barely defend.

"John, you are half right and half wrong. I am indeed Lucien Evans, but I am also a magician. I did not die, but I took that opportunity to get rid of my identity as a musician." Lucy En stopped on the last step of the stairs, because Joel, Alisa and Ivan panicked, hated and disgusted after hearing John's words, and subconsciously stepped back, trying to distance themselves, while John was very vigilant Be alert, it seems that you will swing your sword at any time, so it is good for everyone to keep a suitable distance.

This kind of cognition made Lucien's mood worse again.

"Lucien is a magician, feigning death to get away?" John repeated, his face was full of anger: "Bastard, you **** bastard, you **** magicians, after killing Lucien, you come to slander him Fame! He has been interrogated by the court, he has devoted himself to music, he is devout, tenacious, tenacious, cheerful, optimistic, and a pure good man, how could he be a magician?!"

A series of adjectives established the image of Lucien in his heart.

Joel and the others, who were a little hesitant and dazed, were once again infected by John's determination, and stared at Lucien with hatred.

John continued: "I'm a knight, don't I know that magicians have the spell of transformation, what is the purpose of you turning into Lucien to slander him?"

"John, remember the discussion about chivalry and creed before we fought back Aaron's gang, remember what we said in the alleys of Aderjan after defeating Aaron's gang? About traveling the continent, about kobolds Can gnolls eat words?" Lucien said unhurriedly, anticipating this situation, no one would immediately believe that his friend who had just been buried suddenly came back to life and told himself that everything was a lie , especially this is a world with magic.

John's eyes became surprised, but he quickly said in a deep voice: "What's the use of saying these things? There are many magical means for you to know these things from Lucien!"

Lucien has always admired the knight's firm will, but today he feels quite a headache, and the most important thing is that he doesn't know the details before he crossed over. If he continues to prove it with details, it will be easy to "prove" that he is a fake Therefore, I had no choice but to say: "John, you should be very clear that it is difficult to ask every detail of these small things by magical means, unless the nine-ring magic invades the mind. You can use any tiny place in this matter to ask me, To prove my identity."

John's expression was dignified with a bit of struggle and disgust, while Joel, Alisa, and Ivan showed hatred and disgust mixed with blankness.

Seeing that John didn't ask, Lucien started from the beginning: "It's true that I didn't learn magic after I met witches, so I was able to withstand the torture of the referee, but then Pastor Benjamin asked me and a few knight servants to handle witch magic experiments. When I was in the living room, I got a copy of the books and notes carefully backed up by the witch, and I started on the road of magic."

"Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, John, do you remember why I suddenly wanted to learn characters? That's because only by learning characters can I understand magic notes and books!"

"John, do you know why I was able to discover the conspiracy of the Silver Horn? It's because I practiced magic in the sewer!"

...

The details of the memory and the problems covered by the details were revealed by Lucien one by one. The rigorous logic and other confirmations made John's face shaken strongly, and he growled in contradiction: "Lucien, you Why do you want me to believe? Believe that my good friend is a magician? A magician who played with good people in the whole city?"

In his mind, it seemed that Lucien's image had been completely destroyed.

Alisa shook her head in disbelief. The child she loves and gets along with often turns out to be the evil magician in the church propaganda, and if the suspended animation is true, it is indeed evil...

Joel stared into Lucien's eyes, saw the pain in his eyes, and the disgust on his face eased a bit: "Little Evans, you had no choice but to choose magic in the first place, but after you showed such outstanding musical talent why? Do you want to continue to pursue the path of magic? Are you so thirsty for power that you want to turn your back on the Lord?"

"Uncle Joel, that's not the case. I chase magic because I love it deeply. I want to understand the reality of this world. What is our life, why does this world exist, and in what form does it exist? Why is the starry sky above us so big? Regular and mysterious questions and their unknown answers are the most beautiful and attractive, full of extreme charm." Lucien replied from the bottom of his heart, and then looked at John, "John, I suspended my death because of the magician's Sooner or later, the identities will be exposed, and in this case, it is better to let everyone's favorite musicians live in their hearts forever. I am sorry for the things that made them sad."

"After I became a magician, except for self-protection and saving others, I never took the initiative to hurt any innocent person. Whether you can accept my identity as a magician or not, I hope you can understand that I am not that kind of evil magic Masters, and most of the magicians in the Magic Council are not."

John's face softened a little: "Lucien, since you're suspended animation, why do you still appear in front of us, aren't you worried that we will betray you?"

Seeing that their emotions had eased a little, Lucien took a step forward, but John, Joel, Alisa, and Ivan all subconsciously took a step back, and the panic and fear still existed.

Seeing such a situation, Lucien smiled wryly and shook his head: "Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, John, Ivan, I came back to ask if you would like to follow me to the Kingdom of Holm, where there are many magic Teachers, but there are still churches and nobles, but everyone gets along very peacefully, and I am sure that the nobles of the Kingdom of Holm will accept you."

"The Kingdom of Holm? The headquarters of the Magic Council? Your Royal Highness?" John seemed to think of something.

Lucien shook his head again: "This incident has nothing to do with Natasha, it was planned by my teacher 'Professor' and me. After meeting you, I will go to meet her, explain the facts to her, and hope Get her forgiveness."

If Natasha is not picked out, many things will be difficult to handle in the future. When recalling just now, Lucien also edited the part about Natasha, and made up the character "Professor" to lie.

Then Lucien asked again: "Are you willing to follow me? No matter your status, wealth or belief, you don't need to change."

Silence, the unspeakable silence of the Joel family.

After a while, just as Lucien was about to ask again, John shook his head warily: "Lucien, I am a knight of the Principality of Violet, a knight of the Violet Knights, and I have a country to protect. And lord, my knightly creed makes it impossible for me to abandon these."

A firm refusal, with a touch of unfamiliarity and estrangement.

Joel tried to smile and said, "Little Evans, you haven't forgotten us, which makes me very happy. But I like Alto, the city of music, my friends and my family are all here, and I can't give up."

"Little Evans, it's hard for me to imagine the scene of living with magicians. I believe in the Lord devoutly." Alisa politely refused, but this was also the biggest gap.

Ivan also shook his head unsurprisingly.

Seeing their firm attitudes, Lucien closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Okay, I understand. Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, John, Ivan, I hope that after I leave for a while, you can Report to the court that I am a magician."

"What?!" John, Joel, Alisa, and Ivan couldn't understand Lucien's thoughts and ideas at all, and he asked himself to wait for someone to report him? !

Lucien showed a slightly sad smile: "Sooner or later, my identity as a magician will be exposed, which will implicate you, so it's better for you to report it. In this way, the church will not embarrass you."

After such a "betrayal and betrayal", the church will definitely not think about blackmailing itself with Joel's family.

"You..." John and the others were shocked and speechless. How cruel was it to report Lucien, his "child", good friend, and brother? Even when they hated and hated Lucien the most, they didn't think about it!

Lucien pressed his left hand to his chest and bowed deeply: "Cruelty is also a kind of tenderness. Please allow me to say goodbye. I hope to have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

The wordless silence of Joel, John, Alisa, and Ivan seemed to be resisting the magician Lucien.

Sad in his heart, Lucien turned around and walked out of the house. Maybe he really won't have a chance to see her again in the future.

In the silence, just as Lucien was about to walk to the door, Alisa's trembling voice suddenly came from behind:

"Little Evans..."

Lucien looked back in a little astonishment and expectation.

Alisa bit her lip and said, "Be careful in that magic council, it's definitely more dangerous than the Alto music world."

"I will, Aunt Alisa." The corners of Lucien's eyes became a little moist.

After struggling for a while, Joel also sighed and said, "I believe your heart is kind. If one day you can't survive in the Magic Council, remember, there is still a home for you here."

John's expression was very complicated and contradictory, and the veins in his hands holding the sword were exposed. When he saw that Lucien was about to turn around and leave after agreeing to Joel, he finally blurted out: "Don't do bad things, and don't let me touch you when you do bad things." .”

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Be careful."

Lucien suddenly laughed brightly, bowed deeply to them again, and then disappeared into the darkness without looking back.
