Viscount Carendia looked at Lucien with a smile and said, "Mr. Professor, you're young and energetic. I'm sure I'm not wrong about that. Ever since Mr. Douglas established the definition of arcana, the Congress of Magic has been full of vigor and vitality like a young man. That's why there are so many powerful young people in the Congress. I'm so jealous of you. "
Lucien looked at Viscount Carendia and thought to himself, "There are many legends about vampires and black sorcerers in this place, and this guy can sense other people's vitality. Is he a powerful vampire?"
On the surface, Lucien smiled and answered calmly, "In fact, I've never heard of Mr. Felipe, and I'm looking forward to meeting him. But I do have a lot of things to deal with, so I can only leave this wonderful meeting until the feast." It was hard to tell whether Felipe's attitude towards Professor was good or bad. Lucien would rather wait until the feast to confirm the identity of the liaison in Sturk City from Felipe's words and promises to other sorcerers.
"What a pity. Mr. Professor, here's your invitation letter. "Viscount Carendia took the letter from Nied.
The wording on the letter was exactly the same as Hunter's and the apprentice's, except that the mark on the letter was a tall black hat. Lucien took a quick glance at the letter and put it into his pocket. Then he smiled and stood up, "Thank you very much, Viscount. I won't disturb your rest anymore. Goodbye. "
"As a matter of fact, I've just started my wonderful day." Viscount Carendia put his hand on his forehead and said, "If only you'd like to stay, Mr. Professor. What a shame. I don't want to keep you here. I wish you a safe return under the light of the Silver Moon. "
After Nied led Lucien out of the castle and back to his study, he asked in confusion, "Master, why do you want him to join the feast? Can you really confirm Professor's identity? "
Viscount Carendia walked to the window and looked at the dreamy lake at night. He chuckled and said, "Of course I'm sure, Nied. Did you not see the ring on Mr. Professor's left index finger? Although it's damaged and the words engraved on it have been covered by Mr. Professor, the unique alloy of seven elements is only owned by the Holm Royal Magic Academy and the Will of Elements. It seems that Mr. Professor is here on behalf of the two organizations. "Lucien nodded.
Nied was even more surprised. "Master, then why did you let him join the Feast of Death? The Will of Elements and the Hand of Paleness are … "
"Isn't that interesting? Also, there's a familiar smell on him … "Viscount Carendia interrupted Nied with a smile and frowned in confusion. Then, his voice became serious." Amorechuk, how do you feel about Professor's unique spell? "
A dull, reverberating voice appeared out of thin air. "It seems to be some kind of sound wave magic. It relies on feedback to constantly adjust the frequency, and this frequency is very special. It makes me a little itchy."
… …
Using the method that Natasha taught him, it took Lucien half an hour longer to get back to Baron Habearo's castle. Then, he used the first-circle spell, Light of Darkness, to sneak into his own bedroom without being noticed by Simon, who was on night watch.
Light of Darkness was a first-circle spell that could create a special dark area where people inside could see what was going on outside, but people outside could not see through the darkness.
Lying in bed, Lucien put away the ring and burned Hunter's invitation letter with a small flame. Then, he waited for half an hour and made sure that no one was following him. Finally, he went to sleep to recover.
The next day, right after breakfast, the adventurer team resumed their journey at the insistence of Wise and Mars.
This time, Lucien sat next to the window and taught Betty how to be alert and hurry up in the regular Knight training. Lucien learned a lot from John and also learned a lot from Natasha.
Betty, Joanna, and Simon almost couldn't bear the boring Knight training for the first time. However, when they thought of the horrible necromancer and Mr. Evans' power, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
The three adventurers only stopped their training when they saw Wild Wolf Town in the evening.
Simon said to Lucien with a bit melancholy, "When we report this to the Church, that Knight with so many heroic deeds will become the incarnation of the fallen. What a pity!"
"Yes, but what makes me even more regretful are the innocent lives that were lost." Lucien was not familiar with Baron Habearo's story, so it was hard for him to understand how Joanna and Simon felt. However, Baron Habearo's pain and regret before he died still touched Lucien a lot. He had to become a senior-rank sorcerer as soon as possible, or when he was old, his memory and spirit would deteriorate, and he could only watch his skin dry up and wrinkle.
…
Three hours later.
In the confessional of the church, Arnold carefully checked the documents in his hand and smiled, "I didn't know that Mr. Lucien Evans, the genius musician, is a powerful Knight. I'm really surprised."
Before this, Arnold had asked Lucien to play Pathetique with the piano in the church, and he was impressed by Lucien's performance. Now, after checking the documents, he no longer doubted Lucien.
Lucien shook his head, "It's all thanks to the potion given by Her Royal Highness that I was able to activate my Blessing power. I'm just a Knight to be. Otherwise, I would've been knighted a long time ago."
"Well, if it weren't for that, it would've been a great honor for both a genius musician and a genius Knight to be mentioned together. It was all thanks to the extraordinary weapons and items given by Her Royal Highness that we were able to defeat the fallen Baron Habearo and the necromancer. "
"Everyone is jealous of Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha's generosity," said Arnold. Two magic items, one divine item, and two extraordinary weapons … It was almost as good as Viscount Stanley's collection. It seemed that the rumor that Lucien Evans was the secret lover of Princess Natasha of the Duchy of Orvarit was true. Arnold thought to himself, "Why can't I have this kind of luck? It's said that Princess Natasha is also a great beauty."
Three hours ago, when the apprentice pastor in Wild Wolf Town heard the report from Lucien and the other apprentices, he was so scared that his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He hurriedly reported to the Cathedral of Korsor. Two hours later, Arnold arrived with two pastors and four night watchers. While asking Lucien, Simon, and the rest of the team, Arnold asked them to go to Baron Habearo's castle for further investigation.
Just now, Lucien had told Bishop Arnold what happened in the castle several times, and Bishop Arnold did not find any loopholes in Lucien's story. Also, Lucien had verified the records he got from interrogating Simon, Betty, and Joanna.
In fact, after knowing Lucien's identity, Arnold was no longer suspicious. If there was something wrong with Lucien, he would have already run away in the mountains. As long as he could figure out how Lucien killed Baron Habearo and the necromancer, he would be able to compile a report and send it to the red robe in charge of the Duchy of Djibouti.
"Mr. Evans, can I have a look at the items you used to kill the fallen lord and the necromancer?" Arnold asked Lucien with a serious look in his eyes.
"No problem." Lucien answered casually. He reached out his left hand, "This is the ring that can shoot ice daggers, and this is the bracelet that can use Fire Shield and Fire Ball."
Both the Ice Revenger and Fire Weaver bracelets had been dyed with some special plants. Their appearance would last for a day, so that the Church would not recognize the bracelets. Also, the Fire Weaver bracelets would be mistaken as Fire Shield.
Seeing that Lucien was not going to take off the magic item, Arnold did not force him. Using the power of faith that was similar to spiritual power, Arnold checked if the magic power contained in the item was as Lucien said. Then, Lucien unbuttoned the item, revealing the amulet on his chest. "Sun's Corona"
"This is the style of the War of Dawn …" Arnold was more familiar with the symbol of the Church than Lucien was. "Only the ancient nobles like the Violet Family still have something like this."
Lucien was a bit surprised. Once again, he had doubts about the relationship between Maskelyne and the Church. However, it was not the right time to ask, so he took out the Vigilant Sword and the Enfeeble Dagger, "The princess gave me the sword, and the princess got the dagger after she killed a level-two dark Knight."
"Yes, it's the Violet Family's decoration." Hearing Lucien's description, Arnold remembered that Natasha had become a Knight, so he quickly calmed down, "I sensed that the night watchers are back. After I check with them, I'll let you go, Mr. Evans."
After Arnold stood up and left, Lucien closed his eyes and waited calmly.
In less than ten minutes, Arnold came back with a kind smile, "Mr. Evans, we've confirmed your report. It's a pity that the necromancer's lab was burned down by your Fire Ball. Otherwise, we could've found a lot of information."
"This is the reward from the Church. It's a token of our respect. If it weren't for your heroic deeds, Mr. Evans, Fog Town would've been shrouded in evil for a long time, and the church would've been completely defiled. Mr. Evans, you can take this pin to every church and get some help. Okay, you can go back and have a rest. "
What Arnold handed to Lucien was a cross-shaped pin. It was not a real divine item, but something similar to a divine mark on an identity document.
Lucien took the pin and felt that it was ridiculous, "A reward from the Church for a sorcerer? A reward from a sorcerer whose name is on the Cleansing List? "
After 'thanking' Arnold, Lucien walked out of the confessional and returned to the inn with the rest of the people.
… …
In Aalto, in a dark and silent room at the bottom of the cloister, there was no light or sound.
The door slowly opened without making any noise. Camille walked in slowly and looked at Natasha, who was wearing a black nun's robe and looking haggard, who was kneeling and confessing quietly.
The training of an ascetic was to keep oneself in extreme silence and darkness, as if they were out of this world.
"Her Royal Highness, what can I do for you?" Camille stood beside Natasha.
Natasha looked up slowly and then smiled, "I just remembered something. Aunt Camille, did you bring a pen and paper as I asked? "
"Yes." Camille handed the pen and paper to Natasha.
Natasha raised her hand and wrote something on the paper with difficulty. It took her a long time to finish, "Aunt Camille, please take this to Mr. Othello."
… …
Seven days later, in the afternoon, in Korsor.
Wise and Mars, who had recovered from the panic, said goodbye to Lucien and the rest of the people, "We're going to the Musicians' Association. Mr. Evans, you can come and visit us at any time."
Betty, who had calmed down a lot, asked happily, "Can I have a ticket for your concert, Mr. Wise?"
Before Wise answered, Lucien smiled and said, "I'm going to the Musicians' Association as well. Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars, please lead the way."
Lucien had already planned to use the Musicians' Association to send letters to John and Natasha. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for me at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
