Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio It was a hot and humid night, waiting for a storm.
Lucien chose a completely different path from last time. It took him more than ten minutes to walk to the abandoned house with a tall willow tree in front of the door.
However, Lucien did not go out directly. Instead, he observed in the dark. In the shadow of the willow tree, there were three people in black robes with their faces covered by hoods. Judging from their height and build, one of them was Smile, one of them was Philosopher, and the last one was Lucien, but he was not sure if it was the apprentice he met last time.
Lucien walked around in the shadow and did not find any ambush. However, he did not let his guard down. After returning to his hiding place, he took out a black, strangely shaped casting material from the small pocket inside his belt.
Then, Lucien opened his mouth, as if he was going to cast a spell, but no sound came out. The casting material in his hand started to vibrate faster and faster, and invisible waves spread out from it.
It was the first spell that Lucien created, Bat's Shriek.
Lucien created it based on the principle of ultrasonic detection by bats, which was a biological radar. By combining ultrasonic with the apprentice spell Detect Magic Aura, Lucien could use spiritual power to check if there was anyone hiding in the surroundings.
When Lucien was learning Magic Aura Detection, he knew that apprentices and sorcerers had a lot of ways to hide their magic aura. However, below the sixth circle, all the ways to hide one's magic aura required the sorcerer to not have any buff or defense spells working at the same time, unless it was a permanent magic effect. Therefore, under normal circumstances, once a sorcerer cast a spell to hide his or her aura, there would be no way to detect his or her magic aura. Therefore, Bat Scream was very useful.
Of course, if the sorcerers knew about Bat's Shriek in advance, they could still find a way to avoid it. At least, Lucien knew that sorcerers could use incorporeal or spiritualized spells to hide their magic aura. Therefore, in a battle between sorcerers, the right choice of spells was also a big part of the sorcerers' strength.
If it weren't for the fact that there were very few spells related to light among the apprentices, Lucien would have even created an infrared spell to detect heat. After all, one more detection spell meant one more degree of safety.
Waves of ultrasonic waves spread out from the black spellcasting material in Lucien's hand. Every time Lucien encountered an obstacle, part of the waves would return to the black spellcasting material. Lucien focused his spiritual power on the black spellcasting material. Gradually, the surrounding images appeared in Lucien's mind. Even in the dark, the images were as clear as day.
[With me as the center, within a sphere with a radius of 100 meters, other than the houses that cannot be inspected, there are only some rats without magic light.] Lucien judged the effect of the detection spell. At the same time, he regretted that he did not create an infrared spell, or else he would be able to see everything in the house. [Wait, there's an owl on that tree. Yes, it's Doro. And on that tree … there's a crow. Haha, a crow.]
After seeing that it was the crow, Lucien relaxed a lot. Based on his previous experience, the owner of the crow should be a suspicious person who would not attack unless he was absolutely sure. During this period of time, Lucien did not do anything, nor did he contact anyone. Lucien was sure that he did not expose any information. It seemed that the owner of the crow still wanted to test and observe Lucien.
After finishing Bat's Shriek, the black spellcasting material in Lucien's hand turned into a pile of fine yarn and slowly fell to the ground from between his fingers.
It was the pituitary gland of a bat. Lucien's spiritual power was still not enough to support ultrasonic waves beyond a certain level, so he had to rely on the pituitary gland of a bat to complete the spell.
When Lucien was about to continue observing for a while and go out to meet Smile and Philosopher, another apprentice suddenly said, "Dear Mr. Professor, I think you're already nearby, but you don't want to come out. Maybe you saw me. Actually, it's my teacher who found the trace of the evil creature. He wants to express his kindness to you, hoping to communicate with a knowledgeable sorcerer like you. "
Her voice was husky and sexy. She was White Honey, a sorcerer apprentice.
After hearing her words, Lucien walked out of the shadow behind the house and slowly walked to the willow tree. "Thank your teacher. Although I know there's a pair of eyes on us from that tree, I still want to express my gratitude to him through you." Lucien nodded and walked out of the shadow behind the house, as if he was standing out from the darkness. "Thank you."
"How did you know, Mr. Professor?!" White Honey was so surprised that she almost forgot to change her voice. She turned her head and looked at the willow tree, but she could see nothing in the thick darkness. How did he find Ashley? In this kind of darkness, the magic light is covered.
White Honey felt that this Mr. Professor was even more mysterious and creepy.
The crow seemed to have been struck by lightning and almost fell from the branch. Fortunately, it spread its wings in time and circled around before flying in another direction.
Philosopher and Smile also did not expect that they would be followed and stared at by another sorcerer's pet. They could not help but tremble. If it was an evil sorcerer, they would be in great danger. They looked at White Honey and said angrily, "You need an explanation."
White Honey apologized sincerely, "I'm very sorry that I didn't tell you. You can get a gift. My teacher just wanted to meet Mr. Professor. If he was in danger while catching the evil creature, my teacher could help him through Ashley. But now Ashley has left."
As for the fact that she wanted to observe the power of this mysterious sorcerer, she did not say it out loud, but everyone in the room knew.
Philosopher and Smile expressed their anger to White Honey, but there was not much they could do. The gap between their power was too big. If they killed White Honey because of this, the crow might fly back and kill them immediately. Therefore, after White Honey apologized and promised to make amends, Philosopher and Smile nodded, "I hope this kind of thing won't happen again. This is Aalto. If this kind of thing happens again, your teacher will be regarded as a spy of the Church. He will become the enemy of all sorcerers and apprentices. Last time, a witch and a sorcerer from the Headquarters of the Magic Council were ambushed by the Church. Many sorcerers and apprentices suspected that there was a spy in the Church. "
"Now, you can tell me where the evil creature is," said Lucien in a hoarse voice, as if he was grinding a rusty iron sword.
"It's in the old house of Baron Laurent in the noble district. No one in his family has awakened his Blessing for three generations, so he could not hold any important position in the Duchy. There are very few servants in the old house. Some time ago, when Ashley flew over at night, he heard some noises. Out of curiosity, he flew down to take a look and found that it was a sexual party. There were crazy men and women everywhere. In the middle of the room, there was someone on a small altar, trying to collect the evil creature's power. That person was Baron Laurent. Ashley smelled a bit of the evil creature from him. "White Honey told Lucien the whole story because she was worried that Mr. Professor would misunderstand her.
"After a period of observation, Mr. Professor is sure that they're going to have another party tonight, and it's probably the critical moment of the ritual."
Philosopher nodded and sighed, "Many nobles like this, when there is no Knight in their family for several generations and they can't get the Holy Water from the Church, they will try all kinds of ways to awaken their Blessing. Even if they know that they are being tempted by demons, they will still try." It seemed that Philosopher had seen a lot of such things.
To become a noble, both the title and the territory were hereditary. Unless they violated the first ten laws of the Holy Law, they would be stripped of their title and the territory by their lord. However, if no one awakened the power of the bloodline for several generations, it meant that the family had begun to decline. Their territory would be swallowed up by others through various means, both in the open and in the dark. In the end, they would only be left with the title of a noble and become a bankrupt noble. And such a noble, after a few generations, even if they were not stripped, their glory would be forgotten. In the end, they would be no different from a commoner.
Lucien also had his own judgment about what had happened. He believed that the Silver Horn had started to stir again after two months of silence, "Do you know how powerful that evil creature is? And how do we get to the Noble District? "
The Noble District was surrounded by the inner city wall. At this time, the city gate had long been closed. Only the nobles who lived in the Noble District could ask the soldiers to open it.
"Mr. Professor, according to the size of the altar, it should be a low-rank Knight. But if we destroy it before the ritual is completed, it will only be a senior-rank Knight squire." White Honey didn't think it was dangerous at all. However, she and Philosopher were confident that they could destroy the demon's projection, and Professor was a powerful sorcerer. She didn't know which circle he was.
Philosopher said, "White Honey didn't know how to contact the owls, so she asked me. I happened to know a secret passage that could lead to the Noble District at night, so I came here to show you the way, Mr. Professor. With your guidance last time, I've almost finished the analysis of the spell model. If Mr. Professor allows, I'd like to do it for you. You don't need to do anything to deal with this kind of enemy. "
Philosopher was very grateful to Mr. Professor. When he found out that White Honey's teacher still doubted Mr. Professor's power and wanted to observe him through this incident, he suddenly felt a little scared. He was afraid that Mr. Professor would be killed by White Honey's teacher for exposing his power, and then he would have no one to consult in the future. Therefore, under the influence of these two emotions, he impulsively proposed.
Lucien was worried that the involvement of the Silver Horn would change the situation. The stronger he was, the safer he would be, and Philosopher might have a magic item similar to the Ice Avenger. Therefore, after thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "When this is over, you can ask me a question."
As long as he got the Specter Powder and got rid of the others, he would disappear from the magic circle for a while. Therefore, it was not a big deal that his power was exposed and his image was destroyed.
"Can I help you? Mr. Professor. " On the one hand, White Honey wanted to make up for her rudeness, and on the other hand, Ashley, the crow, had flown away, so the task of observing Mr. Professor's power fell to her.
Of course, Lucien agreed. How could he turn down a hostage who offered herself to him?
Smail thought about it for a long time. Since he was able to contact Mr. Professor, his status in the circle had obviously improved. If he was taken away by Sage and White Honey, he would lose his relationship with the witches and the Professor, and his strength was relatively weak in the circle. It was very likely that he would become more and more marginalized in the future, which would be detrimental to his progress.
Then, under the guidance of Philosopher, Lucien and the others walked towards the Noble District.
