Under the light of the Everlasting Flame in the underground palace, Lucien was shining with a layer of cold light. In Andris's eyes, Lucien was like the most horrible demon in the world. Until now, Andris still did not understand what had just happened. Why was he suddenly defeated? How could the official knight's armor, which was given by his family, not even be able to block one sword strike from Lucien?
As for Jocelyn and the other nobles, it was as if they had just seen an opera that promoted the North Church and all kinds of cults in the St. Solan Grand Theater in Antiffler. They could not believe that Beaulac, who was only a senior-rank Knight a month ago, had become so powerful.
Jocelyn, who had just become a Knight, knew that with the two level-three short swords given by her father, the level-four perfect rose-scale armor, and the other magic items such as necklaces, amulets, belts, boots, gloves, and so on, it was impossible for her to hold the giant sword with one hand as easily as Beaulac did.
"He must have an extraordinary item that could help him become a level-five Knight. That cold sword is at least level-three, and he must have activated his Blessing power. His level as a Knight is even higher than mine! He hid it so well! " Jocelyn was shocked. She felt ashamed. Beaulac had activated his Blessing power at least a year ago, or he could not have reached level-two in such a short time. How could he hide it from her?
Even though Beaulac had a full set of Knight equipment that could improve his strength, agility, balance, constitution, willpower, and recovery speed, a knight's experience and reflexes could not be simulated by extraordinary items. Judging from the way Beaulac held the giant sword, Jocelyn could tell that Beaulac had activated his Blessing power and was a real Knight.
Jocelyn could not help but feel envious, "Uncle Beck is indeed the youngest son of the late Duke. Beaulac's items are much better than mine."
She was born into a noble family. Her father was one of the nobles in the upper echelons of the Empire. Her family controlled a considerable amount of territory and possessed wealth that ordinary nobles could never hope to attain. After many years of accumulation, it was actually not rare for them to have Middle-grade Extraordinary items. However, it was only not rare. Since there were no spellcasters, there was no way to refine items. The types of equipment were very monotonous. For example, although she was an expert in dual swords, there were only level 5 greatswords and war hammers in the family treasury and the marquis' private collection. It was not easy to gather a pair of level 3 divine short swords. There was not a single equipment that could increase her strength.
In comparison, the Gorse Family, which inherited the bloodline of Thanos, the Sun King, would often have Bloodline Warlocks. Together with the hidden magic books and alchemy manuals, the Gorse Family's collection of mid-level and low-level extraordinary items was almost comparable to that of the royal family.
What she didn't know was that Beck's extraordinary items had all gone missing after his death. Otherwise, Beaulac wouldn't have been so frustrated.
"Devil …"
"He became a Knight?"
"Run!"
Jocelyn heard the exclamations one after another. She was pulled out of her spiritual world. Then, she saw several nobles who had not awakened their Blessing power running away in panic. None of them dared to save Andris.
They were jumping up and down like roosters and wild dogs. Compared to "Beaulac" who was as calm as a mountain in the corridor, Jocelyn had a strong feeling of disgust from the bottom of her heart. What a bunch of cowards!
Although Jocelyn was confident that Beaulac would not hurt her, she was still worried that Beaulac might do something that she could not control, which would be seen by Arthen. Therefore, she crossed the two daggers in front of her and left from another door. As she expected, Beaulac did not chase after her.
"When I was in danger, I was thinking about Beaulac's equipment and the wealth of the Gorse Family's extraordinary items. If it wasn't for him, things would have become very dangerous. Sigh, this is the drawback of not having experienced a real battle. When you shouldn't be thinking nonsense, you actually think nonsense! " Stepping into another corridor, Jocelyn began to reflect on herself. After all, she had awakened her Blessing power with her own power. "Beaulac has such a charming side?"
Lucien did not chase after them. Instead, he watched Andris kneeling on the ground, trembling in fear. He was not interested in defeating them at all. The more people there were, the more chaotic it would be, and the more helpful it would be for him.
"Who's there?" Raising his sword, Lucien looked at the corner "alarmingly". Clap!
It was Sophia. Holding the green wand in her hand, she smiled and said, "I didn't know that you've awakened your Blessing power and become a real Knight. Are you willing to protect me, the poor princess, my dear Knight? You were so cool when you held the sword just now! "
Although Sophia said that she was surprised, she did not sound surprised at all.
"I've always been the princess's Knight." Lucien saluted. However, no matter how smart Sophia was, she still could not figure out what was on Lucien's mind.
Nodding in satisfaction, Sophia looked at the naked Andris curiously and shyly, "You're so good at controlling your sword. I thought you'd cut off all the bulges on his body. Oh, he's so ugly." Andris raised his left hand and covered his eyes. However, between his fingers, there was a green light.
Seeing his "goddess" Her Royal Highness see him like this and being ridiculed by her, Andris's face turned red and he even had the urge to die.
"Let's go, Her Royal Highness. We need to hurry." Lucien had a feeling that Sophia knew something about the underground palace, so he simply asked her to follow him so that she could observe him in the dark.
After Sophia and Beyer came in, Lucien had a hunch that something weird was going to happen. It was the hunch of a senior-rank astrologer who had not achieved much in Astrology yet.
Sophia stopped looking at him and walked to Lucien, "Well, I'm here to study the changes in the underground palace. My dear Knight, remember to protect me!"
After Lucien and Sophia left, Andris, who had buried his face in the ground, finally raised his head. His face was flushed. He was so ashamed and angry just now! The fact that 'Beaulac' had completely forgotten about him and did not send him out of the underground palace seriously hurt him made him even more furious. He was furious that he was being looked down upon.
"What are you doing, Andris? Why are you kneeling on the ground? What? Hahahaha! "A familiar and exaggerated voice came from behind.
Andris covered his crotch and jumped up like a girl. He turned around and saw his companions sneaking back.
"If Jocelyn saw you like this, she would think that we did something to you!" A noble young man laughed, gloating.
"Andris, didn't you boast that you're the strongest among the high-rank Knechts? And you were wearing a formal Knight's armor! How come you couldn't even block one strike from Beaulac? And you even had to take off your clothes and kneel in front of him? "A noble young man who did not get along well with Andris laughed at him.
"By the way, why didn't Beaulac hurt you and send you out of the underground palace? Did you … "Another noble young man smiled ambiguously. He had experienced many different kinds of fun.
These young nobles, who had never been through any strict training and liked to live a luxurious life, did not care about Andris's feelings at all.
Andris clenched his fists tightly. His companions' sneers were like sharp arrows shooting into his heart. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his vision blurred.
"These damned bastards!"
"How dare you leave me behind!"
"And you think I'm that kind of person!"
"I made such a fool of myself in front of Her Royal Highness!"
…
Shame, anger, hatred, and all kinds of emotions rushed into Andris's eyes. His eyes were filled with blood, and he felt that his ears were filled with hallucinations.
"Andris, are you alright?" Jocelyn's caring voice suddenly sounded. Andris could not help but shed two drops of tears, but the emotions in his heart did not weaken at all.
…
After passing through several corridors and three gates, Lucien suddenly felt something. He turned around and looked at where he came from.
"What's wrong, Lucien?" Sophia, who was carefully studying the layout of the palace, noticed that something was wrong with Lucien.
Lucien frowned and shook his head, "Nothing. Maybe someone was following us."
"But my warning spell didn't sense anything." Sophia shook her head in disbelief.
"Maybe someone was following us from afar." Lucien, of course, would not tell Sophia that just now, he sensed that the magic circle covering the underground palace had some inexplicable changes. At the same time, a strange sense of familiarity spread in the air, but it soon disappeared. Without a senior-rank sorcerer's spiritual power and basic understanding of magic circles, no one would be able to notice it.
"The ruin of a legendary sorcerer is full of all kinds of strange changes …" Lucien held his longsword tightly and recalled the strange sense of familiarity. Then, he tried to analyze the possible changes in the magic circle.
Sophia did not ask any more questions. She walked beside Lucien with her magic wand, and from time to time, she would give them directions.
"Her directions are all correct?" Lucien had been looking at them coldly. As a bloodline sorcerer, Sophia was also very good at analyzing magic circles.
On the way forward, Sophia teased Lucien from time to time, showing her naivety and vivacity.
"Wait!" Lucien raised his left hand and stopped Sophia.
Sophia pursed her lips, "What's wrong?"
"I smell blood," Lucien answered seriously.
Sophia was a bit excited, "Did someone just finish a fight? I'm going to show them my Fireball!"
"Be careful." Lucien held his sword with both hands again and pushed open the door in front of them.
The metal door was opened, and the strong smell of blood came out. Lucien saw a black shadow kneeling on the ground. In front of the shadow was a man in black armor, and the blood was flowing out from the man's body.
Hearing the footsteps, the black shadow trembled and turned around abruptly. It was Duda, who was panicking.
The man lying in front of the shadow was completely exposed. There was a deep wound on the man's neck, and the man's neck was almost cut off. The man's neck was badly mutilated, and he had stopped breathing!
"He's dead?" Sophia's voice was filled with disbelief.
Lucien recognized that the man was Relph's noble friend. He was dead?!
"I … I didn't mean to …" Duda's face was pale, and his eyes were dull.
