When Lucien realized that he was running towards the familiar place, he remembered the Dark Red Bracelet and the Iron Black Dagger that were buried in the Black Forest on the other side of the Masol River after he killed the Fire Wolf.
In the past few months, Lucien had completely analyzed the internal structure of the two magic items. One of them was a level three high-rank magic item, the Bracelet of Fire Weaver, and the other was an apprentice-level enchanted weapon, the Frost Iron Dagger.
Because of his confidence in the Bracelet of Fire Weaver, Lucien dared to let Natasha distract the grand Knight while he stayed behind to deal with the ordinary Knights. However, although Alan was the only level-two Knight, he was very careful, and Lucien had to bait him slowly to find a chance to kill him. It took Lucien almost a minute longer than he expected.
However, to his surprise, Natasha came back within two minutes. It seemed that she had seen how he took out the Bracelet of Fire Weaver, and she even called out the word "Professor" that he made up.
…
Thirty seconds before Lucien took out the Bracelet of Fire Weaver.
Natasha slowly regained control of the situation and forced Todd to retreat step by step. Todd, on the other hand, was good at defensive battles, and his entire body could be turned into steel without any obvious vital points. Therefore, he was able to hold his ground steadily and steadily. He believed that as long as he could resist Natasha's fierce attacks for a few more minutes, when the effect of her potion wore off, he would be able to defeat her easily. However, Natasha's momentum was getting more and more condensed, and he had a bad feeling about it.
The silver and purple colors in Natasha's pupils flashed back and forth for a few times before they gradually mixed together. Natasha's aura, willpower, and body seemed to have been condensed into a whole. She roared to her heart's content and strode forward. Raising the Thunder Rumbling Sword with both hands, she slashed down ferociously.
This loud roar caused Todd's ears to ring loudly, and he could no longer hear anything else. His body that could withstand the deafness effect of the "Thunder Cry Sword" was unable to withstand Natasha's roar.
However, the tinnitus did not affect Todd's perfect defense. His left hand turned into a square shield and raised it to block Natasha's attack, while his right hand held the bloody longsword and slashed horizontally, using offense as defense.
But before he could swing his sword, Todd was surprised to see Natasha's body turn transparent. The sword seemed to have come from another world. An illusory and ferocious crack suddenly appeared on the shield and spread rapidly toward Todd's body.
"You?" Todd's body, which had been cut in half, let out a final question of terror. Then, with a few clattering sounds, it fell to the ground together with the bloody longsword that had been cut in half.
Natasha took a few deep breaths and hurried back to help Lucien kill the dark Knight.
About ten seconds later, Natasha returned to the Black Forest where the ambush was. She saw Lucien lying on the ground and Alan stabbing him with a black dagger from the right. She was worried and wanted to help, but to her surprise, she saw that Lucien took out a dark red bracelet from the ground and cast Fireball to kill Alan.
"Since when was there such a good magic item buried here?"
"This bracelet looks familiar. It's the bracelet of the Fire Weaver that the Church mentioned in the files about the Professor's murder case."
"This is the Black Forest on the other side of the Masol River, and the underground relic where Argent Horn used to hide."
Countless memories flooded into Natasha's head, and the details of the Argent Horn incident appeared one after another. Many details that she did not find strange before began to show their other side, such as the potion that Lucien used to activate his Blessing, the missing Argent Horn cultists who were spying on him, and the prison guard who did not kill the hostages …
Connecting all the details together, there were only two possibilities. Either the Professor was so close to Lucien that he was willing to risk his life for him, or the Professor was Lucien and Lucien was the Professor. Natasha was more inclined to believe that the latter was the case. After all, the seemingly powerful spell could be an apprentice-level spell that applied special principles, which had happened several times in Holm.
More importantly, Longsang Aaron, who once fought the Professor head-on, let out a miserable scream before he died, which seemed to be the new word "Professor"!
… …
Natasha's beautiful eyes were like a purple lake in a storm. Waves were rising and falling, revealing all the emotions in her heart. There was shock, surprise, disbelief, anger, sadness, and pain.
"Will she do it?" Lucien held the bracelet of Fire Weaver and was ready to activate Sunfire Protection and Fireball. Although they were barely useful in front of Natasha, who was only level five, Lucien would never give up without doing anything.
Lucien was nervous but not panicked. He even had a kind of strange calmness, "Stall for time. I have to say something to stall for time. As long as the effect of the vampire's blood lasts for three minutes, the problem will be solved."
Therefore, after a short silence, Lucien considered his words carefully and prepared to make up another story.
However, at this time, Natasha's eyes became calm and deep again. She said a few words in a slightly hoarse voice, "Let's go to Holm."
"What?" Lucien did not understand what Natasha meant for a moment. At this time, he noticed that the color of Natasha's eyes seemed to have changed. They were no longer dreamy purple, nor were they indifferent silver grey when she fully activated her Blessing power. Instead, they had turned into a pure silver-purple color. However, there was also indescribable depth in the crystal clear color.
"Let's go to Holm. The headquarter of the Continental Magic Congress is there. If you want to focus on the path of magic like Sylvia, Holm will be the best place for you." Natasha repeated in a low and hoarse voice. Then, she narrowed her eyes and put on a lazy but dangerous smile, "My dear Mr. Professor, you're really a master of acting. I don't think any opera singer can compare with you."
"In fact, I don't want to lie to you, but life is always full of helplessness." Seeing that Natasha's smile was dangerous, Lucien was slightly relieved. It would be best if he could delay the conversation for three minutes.
Natasha smiled in self-mockery, "My friends are all lying to me. I'm used to it. But I can understand you. I can clearly feel the pain when you played Pathetique. Aalto is not a suitable place for learning magic. "
"You don't mind that I'm a sorcerer?" Lucien could tell from Natasha's attitude towards Sylvia that she did not hate sorcerers as devout believers did. However, that was before Sylvia's betrayal. It was hard to tell what was on Natasha's mind now.
Natasha pursed her lips and answered seriously, "My mother is a genius sorcerer, so I never think that sorcerers have to be evil and dark. To judge whether a person is good or evil, it's not about who he is, but about what he has done. "
Natasha's smile became gentle, "Although I'm very angry and sad that Lucien lied to me and took advantage of me in many ways, in retrospect, you never tried to hurt me. You really tried to help me. Earlier, you had the opportunity to leave me behind, but you carried me on your back like an idiot. In fact, when I met you in the wilderness outside, I already felt that you might be a sorcerer. Many details during the escape also revealed that. However, I never connected you with the professor who killed many night watchers. "
"If the night watchers didn't want to catch me, they wouldn't have died. Also, in my heart, compared with other people's lives, my family and friends' lives are definitely more precious. " Lucien did not want to lose Natasha as a friend either. He explained his opinion and in the meantime, he was mocking himself for the lie that he thought he had passed.
Three minutes had passed, and Natasha did not seem to have any abnormal changes. To Lucien's surprise, she exhaled heavily.
"Although I know that you are a professor whose hands are stained with blood, I still want to be friends with you. Whatever, those night watchers are not my loyal Knight anyway. "
After saying that, Natasha seemed to have gotten rid of her struggle and became free again. She slowly walked to Lucien and put on a teasing smile that Lucien was familiar with, "Dear Mr. Professor, what else are you lying about? Like that you have never been in love? Like that you have never held a girl's hand? I feel that you seem to be very experienced in both romantic talk and music composition. "
"… Except for the things about magic, there are no other lies." Although it was a lie in itself, Lucien could only say so when it came to the Library of the Soul.
Natasha did not say anything. She stared at Lucien's face attentively and touched her chin with her right thumb and forefinger. Then, she said jokingly, "In fact, Lucien, your facial features and facial features are very handsome. If you were a girl, you would definitely be very beautiful."
"Huh?" What kind of topic was this? Lucien was a bit confused.
"Hehe, magic is colorful and amazing. Although it's difficult to change gender, it's still possible. I know that a grand arcanist once made a transgender belt. Lucien, why don't you try to be a girl? "Natasha proposed excitedly.
Lucien stared at her seriously, "I'm a normal man."
Seeing that Lucien did not like this kind of joke, Natasha immediately changed the topic and said seriously, "Although the atmosphere of learning magic in the Congress of Magic is very good, where there are people, there will be conflicts. Lucien, you have to be very careful. Don't get involved in the game between the strong."
As she was talking, she took off the iron ring on her right forefinger and handed it to Lucien.
The color of the ring was dark, and it was no different from the ordinary rings that people wore when they practiced archery. Therefore, even though Natasha had been wearing it all year round, Lucien did not pay much attention to it before.
"What's this?" Lucien took it over confusedly.
Looking at the ring, Natasha's eyes became gentle and warm, "Didn't I tell you that my mother was a genius sorcerer? This is the Holm Crown prize that she won when she was twenty-three years old. Unfortunately, this powerful magic item has been completely damaged, and it no longer has the title of the most beautiful ring on the whole continent. However, since every prize winner's ring is unique, this ring can be used as a keepsake. "
"Holm Crown prize?" Lucien touched the inner layer of the ring and found a line of words inside, "Holm Crown Prize, 781, to Ms. Meredith Hoffenberg." And on the front of the ring, there was another word, "Mo".
Natasha's smile was as cunning as a fox, "Lucien, you're really the professor! If you're really taught by a sorcerer from the Congress of Magic, there's no way that you don't know about the Holm Crown prize. It's a prize jointly set up by the Royal Magic Academy of Holm and the Will of Elements in the Congress of Magic, to honor the sorcerers who have made great contributions to the field of Element and left their footprints in the history of Element.
Ever since the prize was set up, only twenty-four sorcerers have won it in the past two hundred and seventy years. It's the highest honor in the field of Element. My mother got the prize by introducing electromagnetic theory into the field of Element and discovering a metal element that's lighter than water. She's also the youngest winner of Holm Crown prize. "
"Every prize winner will receive a one-of-a-kind, level-seven magic ring as a gift. Furthermore, each ring has its own 'special name'. My mother's ring is named after the element 'Mo' that she discovered and named. " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
