When Lucien found himself habitually running to familiar places, he thought of the "dark red bracelet" and "iron black dagger" buried in the black forest across the Marsol River after killing the fire wolf.
The internal structural models of these two magic items have been thoroughly analyzed by Lucien who started to study "Book of Astrology and Elements" in the past few months. After knowing their respective abilities, one is a third-level high-level magic item. "Fireweaver's Bracelet", one is an apprentice-level enchanted weapon "Cold Iron Dagger".
It was because of his confidence in the three-ring magic "Fireball" and the second-ring magic "Sun Flame Protection" attached to the "Fireweaver's Bracelet" that Lucien dared Natasha to lure the great knight away and stay by himself To deal with ordinary knights, although only Aaron, a second-level knight, followed him, he was very careful, so Lucien had to slowly show weakness and lure him to find a chance to kill them completely, which was nearly delayed than expected. a minute.
But Lucien didn't expect Natasha to come back in about two minutes. He seemed to have noticed the process of taking out the Fireweaver bracelet, and called out the word "professor" that he made up. !
※※※
Thirty seconds before Lucien took out the Fireweaver bracelet.
Natasha slowly regained the situation, suppressing Todd step by step, and Todd is good at defensive battles, and his whole body can be made of steel, so he has no obvious vital points, so he sticks to it with undisturbed steps, calmness and abnormality with. He believed that as long as he resisted Natasha's stormy attack for a few minutes, and when the effect of her potion disappeared, he could easily win, but Natasha's more and more cohesive and oppressive momentum always made him feel A bad gut feeling.
After the silver-gray and purple pupil colors fluctuated several times, they gradually blended together. Natasha's momentum, will, and body seemed to condense into a whole. She gave a hearty shout, strode forward, and raised her hands With the "Thunder Sword" fiercely chopped down.
This loud shout caused a huge and shocking roar to suddenly sound in Todd's ears, and he could no longer hear other sounds. The body that was able to defend against the deafness effect of the "Thunder Sword" before could not counteract Natasha's loud shout.
However, the tinnitus did not affect Todd's perfect defense. The square shield turned into his left hand was lifted up to block Natasha's attack, and the bloody long sword held in his right hand was slashed horizontally, using offense instead of defense.
But the long sword was only halfway through, and Todd unexpectedly saw that Natasha's body seemed to become transparent, and the long sword that was cut seemed to come from another world, and an illusory and ferocious crack suddenly appeared in front of her. above the shield, and spread rapidly towards Todd's body with an unstoppable trend.
"You?" Todd's body that had been cut in half uttered a final horrified question, and then slapped a few times before falling to the ground together with the bloody long sword that had been cut in half.
Natasha gasped for breath a few times, and then hurried back without caring about adapting to her physical condition, preparing to help Lucien kill the dark knight.
Ten seconds later, Natasha returned to the Black Forest where she was ambushing and saw Lucien lying on the ground. Aaron stabbed him from the right with a black dagger in his hand. When she was about to rescue her, she was surprised to find Lucien Take out a dark red bracelet from the soil, and activate the "fireball" to kill Aaron.
"Since when is a good magic item buried here?"
"This bracelet looks familiar. It seems to be the 'Fireweaver's Bracelet' mentioned in the "Professor" murder case materials compiled by the church?"
"This is the Black Forest across the Marsol River, and beyond that is the underground ruins where the Silver Horn used to hide."
Numerous memories poured into Natasha's mind, and the events before and after the siege of the Silver Horn emerged one by one. Many details that were not considered problematic before began to show their other side, such as Lucien's potion that stimulated the power of the blood, such as the missing The Silver Horn cultists who watched him, like the prison guards who didn't kill the hostages...
There are so many details connected together, there are only two possibilities, either the professor and Lucien are so close that they are willing to take risks to save people for him, or the professor is Lucien, and Lucien is the professor, and from the professor Judging from being chased by an ordinary knight-level night watchman and fleeing in a hurry, Natasha is more inclined to the latter. After all, the magic that looks very powerful can be an apprentice-level magic that applies special principles. There have also been a few examples.
The most important thing is that the screams of Longsan Aaron, who had fought head-on with the professor, seemed to be the new word "professor"!
※※※
Natasha's beautiful eyes are like a purple lake in a storm, with undulating waves, completely revealing the emotions in her heart, including shock, surprise, disbelief, anger, sadness and pain.
"Will she do it?" Lucien held the bracelet of the fire weaver, ready to activate the "Sun Flame Protection" and "Fireball", although they were difficult to send in front of Natasha, who was currently at the fifth level. However, with Lucien's character, he would never give up directly and would not make any effort.
And Lucien was nervous but not flustered, and even had a strange calmness: "To delay time, you must say something to delay time. As long as you delay the effect of 'vampire blood' for three minutes, the matter will be resolved."
So, after a short silence, Lucien considered his tone and was about to make up another story.
But at this time, Natasha's eyes became calm and deep again, and she spit out a few words with a slightly hoarse voice: "Go to Holm."
"Ah?" Lucien didn't realize Natasha's meaning for a moment, and only then did he realize that the color of Natasha's eyes seemed to have changed a bit, it was no longer the dreamy purple before, nor was it indifferent when fully stimulating the power of the blood. The ruthless silver gray has turned into a clear and pure silver purple, but this crystal clearness that can be seen through at a glance has an indescribable depth.
"Go to Holm. The headquarters of the Continental Magic Council is there. If you want to concentrate on the magic path like Sylvia, it will be the most suitable place for you." Natasha repeated in a hoarse voice. Once again, and then narrowed his eyes, showing a lazy and dangerous beautiful smile, "Dear Mr. Professor, you are really a master of acting skills, I don't think there is any opera singer who can compare with you."
"Actually, I don't want to lie to you, but life is always full of helplessness." Seeing that Natasha smiled dangerously but didn't intend to do anything, Lucien was a little relieved. It would be best if he could delay the conversation for three minutes. .
Natasha smiled self-deprecatingly: "My friends are lying to me, I'm used to it. But I understand you, I can clearly feel the depression and pain when you played "Pathetique", Aalto is not suitable for learning Magical place."
"You don't mind if I'm a magician?" Lucien could tell from Natasha's attitude towards Sylvia's learning magic before that she didn't have the extreme disgust and hatred for magicians that ordinary devout believers have, but that was Sylvia. Before Via's betrayal, it was hard to guess what Natasha was thinking now.
Natasha pursed her lips and replied seriously: "My mother is a genius magician, so I never think that a magician must be evil and dark. To judge a person's good or evil is not to look at him identity, but what he did."
Her smile softened, and she gave a faint touch: "Although I am very angry and sad, Lucien, you have deceived me and used me in many things, but in retrospect, you never tried to hurt me, and you were really trying Help me, you obviously had the opportunity to leave me behind and leave, but you continued to flee behind my back like a fool. In fact, when I met you in the wilderness outside, I thought you might be a magician. The details give it away, too, except that I never connected you with the professor who killed many of the Night's Watch."
"If the night watchmen don't want to arrest me, I won't die. And in my heart, compared with others, the lives of my relatives and friends are definitely more precious." Lucien also didn't want to lose Natasha, his friend. , expounded his own ideas, and at the same time laughed at the lies he thought he had passed before.
Three minutes had passed, and Natasha didn't seem to have changed abnormally. Lucien was slightly surprised to hear her exhale heavily: "Although I know you are a professor with bloody hands, I still want to continue to be friends with you Never mind, those night watchmen are not my loyal knights anyway."
After saying this, Natasha seemed to have gotten rid of the struggle and became free and easy again. She walked slowly in front of Lucien, showing Lucien's familiar mocking smile: "Dear Mr. Professor, do you still have Which things are lies? For example, you have never had a love experience? For example, you have never held a girl's hand? I think you seem to have a lot of experience, whether it is love talk or composition."
"... Except for the magic thing, there are no other lies." Although this sentence itself is a lie, when it comes to the soul library, that's all Lucien can say.
Natasha didn't speak, she looked at Lucien's face intently, gently touched her chin with her right thumb and index finger, and then said jokingly: "Actually, Lucien, your facial features and outline are very handsome, if you It's a girl, she must be pretty."
"Ah?" Lucien was a little at a loss as to what the topic was.
"Hey, magic is colorful and amazing. Although it is difficult to switch genders, it is also possible. I know that a great arcanist once made a transgender belt. Lucien, you might as well try it Girl?" Natasha suggested enthusiastically.
Lucien gave her a serious look: "I'm a normal man."
Seeing that Lucien didn't like such jokes, Natasha stopped pestering him in a measured manner, and immediately changed the subject, her expression also becoming serious: "Although there is a good atmosphere for learning magic in the Magic Council, there are fights wherever there are people. Lucien, you must be careful not to get involved in the game of the strong."
As she spoke, she took off an iron ring on her right index finger and handed it to Lucien.
The color of this ring was iron black and dim, no different from the ordinary ring worn when practicing archery, so even though Natasha wore it all year round, Lucien didn't pay much attention to it before.
"This is?" Lucien took it in doubt.
Natasha looked at the ring, her eyes became soft and warm: "Didn't I tell you that my mother is a genius magician? This is the 'Holm Crown' award she won when she was twenty-three years old. It's a pity that this powerful magic item has been completely damaged, and it no longer has the title of the most beautiful ring in the entire continent. However, since each winner's ring is unique, it can be used as a keepsake."
"The 'Holm Crown' Award?" Lucien rubbed the inner layer of the ring, and sure enough, he found a line of text inside: "781 Holm Crown, thanks to Ms. Meredith Hofenberg", On the front of the ring is engraved another word, "Mo".
Natasha smiled cunningly and beautifully like a fox: "Lucien, you are indeed a professor! If there is really a magician from the Magic Council who taught you, it is impossible for you not to know the 'Crown of Holm' award. This is An award jointly established by the Holm Royal Magic Court and the "Elemental Will" organization in the Magic Council, to honor "magicians who have made breakthrough contributions in the field of elemental magic and can leave their footprints in the history of elemental magic."
"It is not often awarded. Since its establishment, only 24 magicians have been able to obtain it in more than 270 years. It is the highest honor of elemental magic. My mother relied on the introduction of electromagnetic theory in the field of elements and discovered it. A metal element lighter than water, she is also the youngest winner of the 'Crown of Holm' award."
"Each award-winning magician will receive a custom-made unique seventh-level magic ring as a gift. And each ring has its own 'proper name'. My mother's one comes from her discovery and The element named 'mo'."
