When Lucien saw the night watcher, he immediately threw the tube of Blazing Fire Gel towards the night watcher.
Lucien had used up all the spells in his Ice Avenger ring, and Blazing Fire Gel had become his most powerful weapon. Therefore, when he was running in the storm, he was holding a tube of Blazing Fire Gel in each of his hands. As soon as he saw the enemy, he would throw it out immediately.
"If it weren't for the fact that Bat's Shriek was very weak in the storm and thunder, I could've found him in advance and avoided him." After throwing out the tube of Blazing Fire Gel in his right hand, Lucien quickly moved to the entrance of the secret tunnel on the left.
When the night watcher saw Lucien, he also reached out his hands. The pair of dark gloves seemed to be able to swallow all the light. As a night watcher who had been fighting against all kinds of dangerous creatures in the dark for a long time, his reaction was not slower than Lucien's.
The first tube of Blazing Fire Gel was directly held by the night watcher. Under the effect of his spiritual power, the tube of Blazing Fire Gel, which was about to explode, was extinguished by the dark gloves. There was no violent explosion, and there was no inextinguishable flame attached to the night watcher's body.
The black gloves of every night watcher of the Church were all excellent magic items, engraved with anti-magic circles of the corresponding level. Because of the limited number of black gloves, there were not many night watchers in the Church. However, every night watcher was also very powerful. There were senior-rank Knight squires, pastors, knights, incorporated dark knights, evil creatures, and even sorcerers.
As soon as the night watcher caught the first tube of Blazing Fire Gel, Lucien's second tube of Blazing Fire Gel followed. However, the second tube of Blazing Fire Gel seemed to be not strong enough. It did not hit the night watcher's body. Instead, it fell to the ground in front of the night watcher and suddenly exploded. A burning fireball rose up and burned the night watcher who did not have time to react. At the same time, the tube of Blazing Fire Gel that was caught by Lucien was ignited, causing it to explode.
Bang! The night watcher was blown away by the explosion. The Blazing Fire Gel stuck to the night watcher's body and was burning fiercely.
Lucien did not check the results of the battle with the Blazing Fire Glue. He quickly moved to the entrance of the secret passage and cast a spell to open the mechanism.
Suddenly, Lucien heard a cry that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart. It carried the natural pressure of a creature at the top of the food chain. Lucien couldn't help but tremble and his legs went soft. If not for the Ice Avenger ring, Lucien wouldn't have been able to deal with this pressure with his focus and calmness.
Another huge whip-like lightning flashed. The night watcher was approaching quickly in the storm. His body was covered in a layer of burning gelatin, but he seemed to be completely unaffected. His face was slightly pale, and there was a thin line of magma-like blood flowing out of his mouth. He was injured by the power of the explosion, not by the fire.
From the burnt white suit and shirt, Lucien could see the skin underneath, which was covered by a layer of red scales. The flame of the Blazing Fire Gel was blocked by this layer of skin and could only slightly burn the scales.
Seeing this, Lucien knew that the night watcher was a dark Knight who had activated his Blessing power, and his Blessing power was Red Dragon!
Lucien felt that this night watcher was much weaker than the dark Knight just now. However, the night watcher's speed and strength were still beyond his reach. If he turned around and ran away, the night watcher would catch up with him as soon as he entered the secret passage. Lucien's apprentice-level spells could not stop the night watcher, not to mention that the night watcher was wearing a pair of black gloves. Unless Lucien became a real sorcerer, his spiritual power would be greatly improved and he could increase the frequency of Resonance Hand to the level of high-energy infrasound.
Facing the night watcher, Lucien did not panic. Instead, he calmly calculated the distance between them.
"Twenty meters, ten meters …"
Then, Lucien threw out the last tube of Blazing Fire Gel five meters away from himself. After a loud explosion, the burning gel ball flew forward under the control of Lucien's spiritual power. However, the huge blast wave spread out uncontrollably, including Lucien's direction.
The night watcher was not afraid of the Blazing Fire Gel, but under the blast wave, he was still slowed down. He even took a step back.
Lucien, who was hit in the opposite direction, pulled his hood tightly with one hand and covered his chest with the other. He was blown away by the blast wave.
Where Lucien was standing was the entrance of the secret passage. Therefore, he directly rolled into the secret passage and quickly rolled for several meters.
Lucien felt that he had been hit by an enormous hammer. His internal organs were shaking, his blood was swelling, and the smell of rust was coming out of his throat. He vomited a mouthful of blood and felt dizzy.
After the explosion outside, the night watcher stomped on the ground and chased after Lucien, who had just stood up in the secret passage. At this moment, the distance between the two parties was about twenty meters again. Also, fearing that he would be hit by Lucien's other magic items, the night watcher did not move in a straight line but in a snake.
However, after running for several meters, the night watcher saw that the black-robed sorcerer pressed one hand on the wall of the secret passage and held a tube of potion in the other hand. Then, the entrance of the secret passage collapsed. The stones on the first floor turned into mud and fell, and the stones behind lost their balance and continued to fall. In only one second, the entrance of the secret passage was buried.
It was the Minor Petrification to Mud magic circle that Sages deployed to destroy the secret passage in emergencies.
The night watcher crashed into the mud and stones in the secret passage, creating a human-shaped hole that was one meter deep. However, he had run out of strength and could only stop and recharge his strength. At the same time, more noises came from the depths of the secret passage.
Looking at the brown mud, smelling the fragrance and hearing the thunder, the night watcher gritted his teeth and punched the mud hard. He said angrily, "I'll catch you, you damn sorcerer!"
… …
While taking Storm to stabilize his wounds and stimulate his potential, Lucien triggered the magic circle every ten meters to destroy a section of the secret passage. However, after five sections, Lucien stopped triggering the magic circle, fearing that the night watcher would follow him to the exit.
With the help of the potion, Lucien spent less time than when he came here. Soon, he left the exit of the secret passage and closed it with magic.
Then, Lucien took off his black robe and moved the things inside into the pocket of his linen jacket. Then, he burned the black robe with Maris's Little Flame in case the night watcher, who had a keen sense of smell, followed by the smell of the herbs that he added to the robe.
The smell of the herbs was made by Lucien to cover his own smell.
With the help of the sulfur, the soaked black robe was quickly burned up. After everything was done, Lucien hurried out of the house and returned to his own cabin in the dark and heavy rain.
It was not until Lucien went into his own room, dried his linen shirt and pants, put the potions and test tubes in the lab, and hid the casting materials in his room. Lying on his bed, Lucien felt a bit relieved.
Before, Lucien's mind was clear and he was full of energy. However, now that he was able to relax, he felt that his whole body was weak. The wounds that had not fully healed were still tormenting him under the effect of Storm. Lucien fell into a half-awake and half-asleep state.
Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and rain fell. Lucien's cabin seemed to be isolated from the world. Amidst the noise, there was an indescribable tranquility.
Maybe it was because of the bad weather that the night watchers of the Church could not track down Lucien and the other apprentices. Lucien spent the night peacefully in the heavy rain until the next morning.
According to Lucien's guess, the senior-ranks would pay more attention to the dead Baron Laurent, because the blood and power of the demon, as well as the power of the sacrifice, would remind them of the Argent Horn cult.
… …
In the morning, the rain was much lighter, but it could still be called a heavy rain. Aalto and the nearby areas were still dark. The poor people who had to work hard every day were making all kinds of noises in the rain.
Lucien woke up in a daze. He felt very uncomfortable, so he decided not to go to the library in the morning. After lunch, he would go to see Mr. Victor. After all, Pieroux was there, and the library was always empty.
When it was time for breakfast, Auntie Alisa saw that Lucien did not come, so she sent Elwyn to check on him. Lucien took the opportunity and asked Elwyn to go to the library to ask for a leave for him.
After that, Lucien continued to sleep in the rain. When he woke up at noon, he felt a bit better. He felt that he was alive again, but his body was still obviously weak. Although the power of the explosion was not strong, Lucien was not a knight, so it was inevitable that he would be seriously injured. Fortunately, he had made the potion, Tempest, in advance, which could help him recover.
After lunch, Lucien walked to Victor's house in Gesu with the umbrella he borrowed from Aunt Alisa's house. There were only three days left before the last week, so Lucien decided to get it done today.
… …
At ten o 'clock in the morning, in Victor's piano room.
Victor was thinking hard about the strings, and his face was full of anxiety. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, and it was very difficult for him to suppress his emotions.
With a quill in his hand, Victor opened the door and saw Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus who were supposed to come in the afternoon. He asked curiously, "Why are you here? What's the matter? "
"Mr. Victor," said Lot, "Mr. Victor, Mekanzi told me that Baron Othello wants you to go to the association as soon as possible, because Her Royal Highness suddenly wants to know the repertoire of the next three concerts."
As usual, Lucien went to the association to practice his musical instrument in the morning and came to Victor's place in the afternoon. However, he ran into Mekanzi and heard the bad news.
The quill fell on the thick carpet, making no sound. Victor's face was pale, and he had to take a few steps back before he could steady himself.
"Mr. Victor …" The three students walked to Lucien.
Victor waved his hand and took a deep breath, "I see. I'll go to the association in thirty minutes."
… …
When they arrived at Victor's house, Lucien was led to the front of the house by a servant, who was already familiar with Victor's house.
"Mr. Ace, which room is Mr. Victor in?" Lucien greeted Ace with a smile, "You don't look well. Are you sick?"
Ace shook his head, "I'm fine. It's the master. He went to the association because Her Royal Highness wants to know the repertoire of the next three concerts, so he was invited by Baron Othello."
"He's already been invited to the association to confirm the repertoire …" Lucien was stunned, and then he asked anxiously, "How long has he been gone? How long has Mr. Victor been gone?"
"He left at 10: 40 in the morning. The master should be back in about half an hour." Ace thought that Lucien was in a hurry.
It was now 12: 35 in the afternoon.
Lucien was filled with strong disappointment. "If I didn't ask for leave in the morning, I would have met Mr. Victor at the association. Is this really fate?"
"No, I have to give it a try no matter what. Maybe it's because of the storm, or maybe it's because of what happened last night. The list hasn't been confirmed, or it hasn't been sent to the princess. I can't give up just like that! "
Lucien thanked Mr. Ace, picked up his umbrella, and rushed into the rain, running toward the Musicians' associations.
