Chapter 40 Late Night Knocker
——Ask for a Sanjiang ticket, everyone can receive one every day~
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Lucian judged from the grammar of the owl's speech that it was not a magician's transformation, but a familiar, after every magic apprentice began to learn magic, as long as there were spellcasting materials, he could summon and sign a magic contract familiar.
After signing a magic contract, each familiar will establish a close and mysterious connection with the owner, allowing the owner to obtain some of his abilities, and he can also borrow some of the master's magic suitable for himself.
For example, if you summon a cat as a familiar, the magic apprentice's agility will increase to the level of a high-level knight attendant, and you will also gain night vision, and the cat can borrow magic from apprentice-level magic similar to "light banning", "organ preservation", etc., as well as necromancy magic, and then you can also gain the ability to speak and think simply.
However, the amount and number of magic familiars can borrow depend on the number of magic that the owner's spiritual power can cast in a row, when the spiritual power is not enough to release two magic in a row, the familiar cannot be borrowed, and the ability obtained by the owner from the familiar will not increase with the increase of the familiar level.
So Lucian has never made up his mind to summon familiars, although in the long run, it is equivalent to having an extra clone for himself, and in the short term, he can improve his strength, but his situation is special, and establishing this mysterious connection is likely to expose his biggest secret.
Looking at the strange owl Doro, Lucian pretended to be very scared and replied: "No, no magician has really come to find a witch, at least, I haven't seen it."
The owl patted its wings: "Very good, you are not lying, according to Master Doro's observation, there are indeed no other Mr. Magicians who have come to find witches, below, the second question, what did you see and what happened when you and the church guards went down to find the witch's magic laboratory?"
"An owl also knows how to deceive people with the problems he knows first......" Lucian cursed secretly in his heart, and then changed what he encountered at that time, except for his own soul breaking through the boundaries to taking advantage of Gary's accidental activation of the Holy Emblem of Truth.
"This is really a tragedy!" Owl Doro sighed intensely, then flapped his wings twice, "Very good, your answer is very satisfactory to Master Doro, good night, young man."
Then it quickly flew out through the open wooden window.
Watching the owl leave, the fear and panic on Lucian's face immediately disappeared, he blew out the candle directly, and then quickly changed into the black linen robe with a hood that he had just sewn, and quietly opened the door, went out, and closed it.
Lucian spread his spiritual power and soon sensed a faint spiritual imprint that he had quietly left on the owl Doro, which was difficult for others to detect.
This is a situation where it has not been possible to practice casting recently, Lucian combined his previous knowledge of frequency, fluctuations, and radar to use a change of spiritual power marks, which will definitely have no effect on formal magicians, but magic apprentices and familiars, as long as they are a little careless, it will be difficult to find that they have been left with spiritual power marks.
"Fortunately, this owl is not flying too fast, it is still in my spiritual power sensing, judging from its level, its owner should still be a magic apprentice." Lucian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, running quickly in the darkness, once he exceeded five hundred meters, Lucian's spiritual power could not sense the spiritual power imprint that fluctuated at a special frequency.
Although the owner of the owl is just a magic apprentice, Lucian is still in a certain danger if he follows him like this, after all, he doesn't know what the situation is over there, whether there are other magic apprentices, or even magicians.
However, this certain danger is still worth taking for Lucian, who really wants to get in touch with the magician circle and then find a place where he can learn magic openly.
Doro the owl did not know that he had been left with the mark of spiritual power by Lucian, so he did not fly with all his might, and on the contrary, he flew very carefully and secretly in order to attract attention from Alto, who was not controlled by the church.
But even so, its flight speed still exceeded the speed at which Lucian did not dare to run with all his might.
So after tracking for ten minutes, Lucian had been pulled away by the owl Doro at a distance of nearly four hundred meters, which was still the occasional stop to hide, or pretend to be an ordinary owl to fly.
But at this moment, the owl Doro retracted its wings and slid into a window without moving in the dark night.
After Lucian ran closer, he slowed down and quietly went around to the side of this building, and then was very surprised to see the sign of this building:
"Copper Crown Tavern"!
"Could it be that there are magic apprentices mixed among mercenaries and adventurers?" Lucian thought doubtfully in his heart, and noticed that the window was in the leftmost room on the second floor of the Coppercrown Tavern, which was a very convenient location for escaping.
After putting the Ice Avenger on his left index finger, Lucian went around to the back door of the Coppercrown Tavern and whispered a strange monosyllabic word, without using spellcasting materials, leaving a faint shadow on the door.
"Silent Portal", an apprentice-level magic of the Illusion Department, can mask the sound of doors opening and closing, and works for up to an hour, but within this hour, it can be removed at Lucian's wishes.
Then, Lucian waited for a few seconds and continued to cast the "switch technique" that did not cast materials, and a transparent and invisible light shot out of his hand and hit the door.
Closing the back door again, Lucian directly lifted the "Silent Portal" to avoid being discovered by others and the fluctuations of magic.
Even in the tavern, at this time, the inside of the Copper Crown is much quieter, especially near the back door, which allows Lucian to quietly dodge the occasional passers-by and walk to the second floor.
Quietly stopping not far from the room, Lucian barely listened to the voices in the room through the faint spiritual imprint.
After a while, Lucian smiled, pulled his hood lower, and walked to the door.
…………
In the cool room, Smile leaned on a recliner that could rock back and forth, listening carefully to the report of his familiar owl Doro, holding a glass of amber wine in his hand.
"Doran dessert wine", with low alcohol content, has a significant effect on helping sleep.
Smile was used to the owl's grammatical quirky narrative, and it didn't take long for him to figure things out completely.
He closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and then asked Lucian's reaction at that time, and after listening to the description of the owl Doro, he rubbed the corner of his forehead: "It seems that he does have nothing to do with witches, but in this way, he can't find the gentleman who claims to be from the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council, hey, do you want to continue to hide......"
Just as he was sighing, suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Smile stood up suddenly, his expression solemn, and his voice tried to soften and asked, "Who?"
And the owl Doro flew to the bed, hid in the blanket, and whispered: "Who will it be, who will it be, is it here to grill Master Doro?"
A strange, low, hoarse voice sounded outside the door: "I'm looking for Mr. Smile and Doro the Owl."
"What?!" Doro the owl shouted in the blanket, almost flying with the blanket.
Smile's magic was ready to go, but the mystery and weirdness of the man outside the door made him dare not act rashly: "I am Smile, I don't know any owl Doro, who are you?!"
"I am a magician and met a witch by chance." The hoarse and low voice said plainly, "I have been secretly observing the witch ruins, trying to find the whereabouts of the gentleman from the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council.
"What? It's because of me, Lord Dora?!" The owl Doro screamed in disbelief, and then sighed very intensely:
"This is really a tragedy!"
Seeing that the other party did not call in directly, Smile relaxed a little, if the church people came, how could they be so polite, and then hearing the identity of the other party's magician, he naturally felt a sense of intimacy, but he did not let his guard down: "Then you can use the opening technique yourself."
Although successive popes have modified the basic part of divine magic, the essence of divine magic has not changed, it still comes from the "gift of God", and the change in the basic part has lowered the requirements for some divine arts that previously required a higher level to obtain, and more new divine arts have been bestowed, making it easier to master some divine arts that take a long time to master, so it is obvious from the casting that it is a magician or a priest.
A wave of magic came from the door, and the door slowly opened, and Smile had to seize the opportunity that the other party had just finished casting magic and was still in a buffer period.
However, as the door slowly turned, there was also an extremely cold and terrifying aura of magic, like a very powerful magic gathering momentum and deliberately emitting it.
"Formal magic?" Smile clearly found that this magical aura was far more than any apprentice-level magic he would get, "Are you a formal magician?"
The door opened suddenly, and Smile saw a mysterious man in a black robe with a hood that completely hid his face in the shadows, and the terrifying, cold magical aura emanating from him.
And Lucian also saw clearly that this magic apprentice was the gloomy man with a hooked nose and a long black tight coat that he had seen in the Coppercrown Tavern before.
