Throne of Magical Arcana

After the familiar dizziness, a strange flower that seemed to be full of blood appeared in front of Lucien's eyes, boundless like a sea of ​​red.

As if sensing the breath of a living person, the flowers bloomed slowly, petal after petal, and the heavy dark red slowly unfolded, revealing the wriggling flesh and blood.

Boom, boom, boom, they expand and contract like Lucien's heartbeat.

On Lucien's entire spine, the hairs seemed to stand up after being electrocuted, and he shuddered.

This weird flower is extremely coquettish, but it also seems to be extremely dangerous!

After a short period of fear, Lucien quickly calmed down, and realized that this was the garden of the "Observer's Castle" described by Rhine, so he made an ethereal and sharp voice, and recited a spell that normal people could not complete.

Hearing this incantation, the bewitching flowers swayed gently, making a welcoming gesture, and then quickly closed together, turning into blood-colored worms the size of hair, densely packed, wriggling non-stop.

A piece of water in the middle receded like a tide, revealing the cold and damp black land.

"Is this a flower or a worm? Why have I never seen such a magical creature..." Lucien's fanatical research side as an arcanist highlighted the creature that had not been included in the "Advanced Arcane and Magic Library". Full of curiosity, if it wasn't for a general understanding of how dangerous a legendary garden is, he had already cast magic to try to catch a few bugs, "Maybe it's an ancient creature that has become extinct from the outside world..."

While guessing, Lucien stepped out of the node teleportation array, followed the black road split by the "red sea", and walked towards the main entrance of the hall that was faintly visible in the distance.

The blood-colored worms gathered again, condensing into a strange flower, exuding a rich sweet fragrance, just smelling it, one's legs feel weak and the mind is confused.

Lucien subconsciously used an air filter to keep the sweetness out.

The bewitching bright red flowers suddenly boiled and swayed violently towards Lucien, like wraith ghouls stretching out their arms.

"They are so sensitive to magic fluctuations?" And full of aggressiveness!

Lucien resisted the urge to cast magic to resist, and let the wriggling petals wander back and forth around him. They scratched his face from time to time, bringing itchy numbness.

Although the fluctuation of magic was no longer captured, the crimson sea of ​​"waves" showed no signs of calming down, and surrounded Lucien with "flashing teeth and claws".

With the help of Holm's crown ring "Electronics", Lucien kept himself in a very focused state, turning a blind eye to the danger and terror around him, and moved forward slowly without rushing.

Although it is not clear how terrifying this bright red creature that looks like a flower is not a flower, or a bug is not a bug, Lucien decided to be careful based on that premonition of danger. Even if he could destroy these monsters by himself, other high-level weird "plants" would definitely be indispensable in Rhine's garden.

During the "stormy sea", Lucien seemed to calmly walked out of the "ocean" and embarked on a tree-lined road leading directly to the main entrance of the castle hall.

Two rows of tall trees similar to sycamore trees were planted beside the road, and the half-withered and yellow leaves swirled and fell to the ground, creating a beautiful scenery like the Altogisu District in front of the dark and gloomy castle.

Lucien walked up the boulevard and walked towards the main entrance of the hall.

Suddenly, rows of black and white eyes opened up on the tall sycamore-like trees, and Lucien's figure was reflected in each eye, and each figure of Lucien had a different expression, Some were puzzled, some were smiling, some were angry, and some were cold. Their black and deep eyes were staring straight at the real Lucien.

Seeing these strange gazes, Lucien sweated slightly on his forehead, and smiled bitterly in his heart: "This time, I met a real scarlet tree."

The last time I saw it was in a dream, based on Lucien's subconscious impression of the Scarlet Demon Tree, there is a certain gap between it and the real one.

This kind of magic tree is difficult to grow, but as long as it enters the mature stage, it will have high-level strength. Like the beholder, it is good at emitting various rays, and at the same time likes to suck blood and is good at creating illusions.

Lucien, who was wearing many high-level magic items, thought that if he encountered one or two scarlet demon trees alone, he would be sure to turn them into materials, but there are two rows here!

"As expected of the legendary vampire's castle." Lucien walked to the main entrance of the castle hall as if he was attending a banquet under the real "watchful eyes".

When the soft feeling under his feet became hard and smooth, Lucien quietly breathed a sigh of relief. It was a very tormenting thing to pass through the dense crowd of monsters, even if he had the spell told by Rhine, the subconscious feeling was Inevitably.

The pressure subsided a lot, and Lucien calmly stood at the main entrance of the hall, but before raising his right hand, a dull voice came from inside the castle:

"I feel the imprint of the master on you."

"Yes, I was entrusted by Mr. Rhine to come to the castle to pick up some things." Lucien replied briefly. As long as it is approved by the alchemist who presided over the castle, the subsequent actions to take away the transformation mask, ritual artifacts, and mission rewards are not dangerous.

The echoing dull voice said: "I am the castle 'Mihalik', please read the passage spell."

"Krihami." Only then did Lucien understand the origin of the spell set by Rhine, which turned out to be the reverse of the name of the alchemy life, and couldn't help but slander funnyly: "I don't have any creativity at all, it's better to open the door with sesame seeds!"

"Dear guest, please come in." The gate of the castle opened slowly, revealing the elegantly decorated hall. "Except for the control core, the energy room and the bottom of the treasure house, you can go to the rest of the places as long as there is an opening spell."

…………

In the room filled with books of different styles in different historical periods, Lucien followed Rhine's instructions, while chanting the incantation, condensed his mental power into spikes, and stabbed fiercely at the pen holder.

A layer of gloomy light lit up on the pen holder, and it made a tooth-piercing sound of mechanical rotation. It slowly retreated to the side, revealing a dark round hole.

After carefully checking that there was no problem, Lucien took out several things in the round hole with the hands of a mage.

They were a miniature statue of a sphinx, a glob of filthy blood, a gorse brooch, and a clown mask with a comical grin.

"Transformation mask, a ninth-level intermediate magic item, the person wearing it can transform into any creature of the same gender, but does not have the natural ability of the creature. At the same time, if the opponent's blood is collected, it can be completely transformed into the opponent's look."

"Currently, 7,895 different bloods have been recorded, and the person who wears it can choose from them to transform."

"This kind of transformation comes from the origin of blood. If you don't step into the realm of legend, you can't see through it. Even if it is a legend, if you don't distinguish it carefully, you will be deceived."

"One of the mental strength and willpower must be at or close to a high level to wear it, otherwise you will get lost in different identities and become a complete lunatic."

"Many times, identity works better than magic!"

"——a certain 'mind-split' anonymous magician."

As Lucien performed the "identification technique", the information and structure of the clown mask clearly emerged in his mind, while the other three items, Lucien could only identify that they all contained strange and obscure supernatural energy, and their nature was slightly different. It is different, it is the ritual item to open the three magic circles.

After packing up the items and the mask, Lucien seized the time to "record" some of the books Rhine had collected into the soul library. He called himself a "historical observer", and there must be valuable anecdotes in it.

However, worried that "Mihalik" would find something abnormal, Lucien didn't read quickly, and it took a full six hours to collect the fifty books he liked.

…………

All kinds of shiny gems, gold coins from different countries in different periods, sets of brand-new knight armors, exquisite magic robes, and extraordinary weapons such as long swords, hammers, axes, spears, belts, boots, rings, Magic items such as talismans and necklaces, scrolls, liquids, metals, feathers, gases and other things dazzled Lucien's eyes. The things that can be collected by the legendary vampire Rhine either have extremely high historical or artistic value, or Just very rare or powerful.

Among the many transcendent items, the lowest one is middle-level, and most of them are high-level, but there are no artifacts of level nine or legendary domain, which are obviously placed at the bottom of the treasure house.

After Lucien "selected carefully", "loved it", "swayed from side to side", and "reluctantly", he finally picked out a scroll and a belt.

"Eight-ringed magic scroll, 'Shuttle through the night'!"

"Health belt, eighth-level high-level magic item, immune to disease, immune to poison, immune to level seals caused by negative energy damage, immune to legendary magic that reduces physical fitness."

"Health is the true meaning of life."

"—White Horse Philosophy"

Of these two items, the former can counteract the space lock, which is an excellent choice for escape, and it is the innate magic of high-level vampires, which has not yet been simulated by arcanists. Lucien intends to use this scroll as a reference and in key Use it all the time.

The latter chain of immune effects is also extremely useful.

After leaving the imprint of spiritual power in the "Health Belt", Lucien turned his head and looked at the place where the magic wand was placed, intending to choose one carefully. The magic wand on his body is still at the second level, which is too incompatible with the status of a high-level magician.

When he was having a hard time making a decision with the seven or eight level magic wands, Lucien suddenly saw an ordinary long sword that could be seen everywhere on the bracket next to it. It was inconspicuous, and even the gauntlets were made of wood.

"Why would Mr. Rhine keep such an ordinary long sword?" Lucien had strong doubts, and threw an "identification technique" at the long sword.

When the information came back, Lucien was immediately stunned.

"Pale justice, the eighth-level perfect extraordinary long sword, when facing evil creatures (dead spirits, devils, demons, etc.), it is additionally upgraded to the level of a first-level legendary weapon. Those who hold this sword are free from fear and charm , berserk, helpless and other negative status effects, every time you swing a sword, you will be drawn by justice, and you will hit everywhere."

"You need at least the strength of a sixth-level sky knight to pick up this long sword of justice."

"Justice, which pales in comparison with vanity and ostentatious power, is for everyone, rich and poor, high and low, and of low and high knowledge. Whether in the farmer's field or in the fierce battle , justice is everywhere.”

It turned out to be this "famous" long sword!
