Chapter 134 Ring
When Lucian 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 Massol River after killing the Fire Wolf.
The internal construction models of these two magic items have been thoroughly analyzed by Lucian, who has begun to study the "Book of Astrology and Elements" in the past few months, and knows their respective abilities, one is the third-level high-level magic item "Fireweaver's Bracelet", and the other is the apprentice-level enchanted weapon "Cold Iron Dagger".
It was the confidence in the three-ring magic "Fireball" and the second-ring magic "Yangyan Protection" attached to the "Fireweaver's Bracelet" that Lucian dared to let Natasha lure the great knight away and stay to deal with the ordinary knights.
But Lucian didn't expect Natasha to rush back in about two minutes, as if he had seen the process of taking out the Fireweaver bracelet in his eyes, and called out the word "professor" that he had made up himself!
…………
Lucian took out the Fireweaver's bracelet thirty seconds ago.
Natasha slowly pulled back the situation, suppressing Todd step by step, and Todd was good at defensive combat, and his whole body could be steeled, and there was no obvious vital point, so he held on steadily and steadily. He believed that as long as he resisted Natasha's stormy attack for a few more minutes, he would be able to win easily until the effect of her potion wore off, but Natasha's increasingly cohesive and oppressive aura always gave him a bad intuition.
After the two pupil colors of silver gray and purple went back and forth a few times, they gradually blended together, Natasha's momentum, will, and body seemed to condense into a whole, she shouted heartily, strode forward, and slashed fiercely with both hands holding the "Thunder Sword".
This shout made Todd's ears suddenly sound with a huge shocking roar, and he could no longer hear other sounds, and his body, which had been able to defend against the deafening effect of the "Thunder Sword", could not offset Natasha's shout.
However, the tinnitus did not affect Todd's perfect defense, the square shield turned into his left hand raised to block Natasha's attack, and the bloody long sword held in his right hand slashed horizontally, attacking instead of defending.
But only halfway through the long sword, Todd unexpectedly saw Natasha's body in front of him seemed to be transparent, and the slashed long sword seemed to come from another world, an illusory and ferocious crack suddenly appeared on the shield, and spread rapidly towards Todd's body in an unstoppable trend.
"You?" Todd's body that was cut in half let out a final question of horror, and then snapped a few times and fell to the ground along with the bloody longsword that had been cut off at the waist.
Natasha gasped a few times, then hurried back to help Lucian kill the Dark Knight without caring about adapting to her physical condition.
After more than ten seconds, Natasha returned to the Black Forest where she was ambushed, and saw Lucian lying on the ground, Aaron stabbed from the right side with a black dagger.
"When did you bury a good magic item here?"
"This bracelet is a bit 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 Massol River, and beyond that is the underground ruins where the Silver and White Horn used to hide."
Countless memories poured into Natasha's mind, and the before and after of the encirclement and suppression of the Silver and White Horns emerged one by one, and many details that were not considered problematic before began to show another side of it, such as Lucian's potion to stimulate the power of the bloodline, such as the missing Silver and White Horn cultists who monitored him, such as the prison guards who did not kill the hostages......
There are only two possibilities, either the professor and Lucian are close enough to be willing to risk their lives to save people, or the professor is Lucian, and Lucian is the professor, and from the perspective of the professor being chased by an ordinary knight's night watchman and fleeing in a hurry, Natasha is more inclined to the latter, after all, the seemingly powerful magic can be apprentice-level magic with special principles, which has been seen in Holm several times.
The most important thing is that the scream made by Aaron Lonsan in front of the professor seems to be the new word "professor"!
…………
Natasha's beautiful eyes were like purple lakes in a storm, undulating, completely revealing the emotions in her heart, shocked, surprised, incredulous, angry, sad and painful.
"Will she do it?" Lucian held the fireweaver's bracelet, ready to stimulate "Yangyan Protection" and "Fireball Technique" at any time, although they were difficult to use in front of Natasha, who was currently level five in strength, but with Lucian's personality, he would never give up directly and make no effort.
And Lucian was nervous but not panicked, and even had a strange calmness: "Delay time, you have to say something to delay the time, as long as you delay the effect of 'Vampire Blood' for three minutes, the matter will be solved."
So, after a short silence, Lucian considered his tone and was about to open his mouth to make up another story.
But at this time, Natasha's eyes became calm and deep again, and her voice spat out a few words in a slightly hoarse voice: "Go to Holm."
"Huh?" Lucian didn't react to Natasha's meaning for a while, and then he realized that Natasha's eye color seemed to have changed a little, no longer the dreamy purple before, nor the indifferent and ruthless silver gray when he fully stimulated the power of the bloodline, but became a clear and pure silver-purple, but this crystal clear that seemed to be able to see through at a glance and there was an indescribable depth.
"Go to Holm, the headquarters of the Continental Magic Council is there, if you want to concentrate on the magical path like Sylvia, that will be the most suitable place for you." Natasha repeated in a hoarse and low voice, then narrowed her eyes and showed a beautiful smile of laziness and danger, "Dear Mr. Professor, you are such a master of acting skills, I don't think any opera singer can compare to you."
"Actually, I don't want to lie to you, but life is always full of helplessness." Lucian saw Natasha's dangerous smile but no intention of doing anything, and breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best to be able to delay the conversation until it was over for three minutes.
Natasha smiled self-deprecatingly: "My friends are cheating on me, I'm used to it. But I understand you, I can clearly feel the oppressive pain when you play 'Pathos', and Aalto is not a suitable place to learn magic."
"You don't mind if I'm a magician?" Lucian could see from Natasha's attitude towards Sylvia learning magic that she did not have the extreme dislike and hatred of ordinary devout believers for magicians, but that was before Sylvia's betrayal, and now it is difficult to guess what Natasha is thinking.
Natasha pursed her lips and replied seriously: "My mother was a genius magician, so I never thought that magicians were necessarily evil and dark. Judging a person's good and evil is not based on his identity, but on what he has done."
Her smile softened, and she said lightly: "Although I am very angry and sad Lucian, you have deceived me and used me in many ways, but in retrospect, you never tried to hurt me, and you were really trying to help me. In fact, when I met you in the wilderness outside, I thought you might be a magician, and many details in the escape also exposed this, but I have never linked you to the professor who killed many Night Watchers."
"If the Night Watch doesn't want to catch me, I won't die. And in my heart, compared with others, the lives of my relatives and friends are definitely more precious." Lucian also didn't want to lose Natasha, a friend, and explained his ideas, while laughing at the lies he thought he had passed before.
Three minutes had already passed, and Natasha didn't seem to have changed abnormally, and Lucian was slightly surprised to hear her exhale heavily:
"Even though I know you're a professor with bloody hands, I still want to continue to be friends with you. Regardless, those night watchmen are not my loyal knights anyway."
She slowly walked in front of Lucian, showing Lucian's familiar teasing smile: "Dear Mr. Professor, what other things are you lying about? For example, have never had a love experience? For example, have never held a girl's hand? I think you seem to have a lot of experience, whether it's love words or composing."
「…… There are no lies except about magic." Although this sentence itself is a lie, it involves the soul library, and Lucian can only say this.
Natasha didn't speak, her eyes looked at Lucian's face intently, her right thumb and index finger gently touched her chin, and then said jokingly: "Actually, Lucian, your facial features and contours are very handsome, if you are a girl, you will definitely be very beautiful."
"Huh?" What kind of topic is this, Lucian is a little confused.
"Hey, magic is colorful and magical, and although it is difficult to change gender, it is also promising. I know that a great arcanist once made a transgender belt, Lucian, why don't you try to be a girl?" Natasha suggested with great interest.
Lucian glared at her seriously: "I am a normal man."
Seeing that Lucian didn't like such jokes, Natasha immediately changed the topic and became equally serious: "Although the atmosphere of learning magic in the Magic Council is very good, there are fights where there are people, Lucian, you must be careful not to get involved in the game of the strong."
As she spoke, she took off an iron ring from her right index finger and handed it to Lucian.
The ring was dark and dull in color, no different from the ordinary ring she wore when practicing archery, so even though Natasha wore it all year round, Lucian didn't pay much attention to it before.
"This is?" Lucian took it suspiciously.
Natasha looked at the ring, her eyes softened and warmed: "Didn't I tell you that my mother was a genius magician? This is the 'Holm Crown' award she received when she was twenty-three years old. Unfortunately, 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 token."
"'Holm Crown' Award?" Lucian rubbed the inner layer of the ring and found a line of text inside: "781 Holm Crown, thanks to Ms. Meredith Hoffenberg", and on the front of the ring is engraved another word, "Mo".
Natasha's smile was cunning and beautiful like a fox: "Lucian, you are indeed a professor! If a magician from the Magic Council really taught you, you couldn't know about the 'Holm Crown' award. This is an award jointly established by the Royal Academy of Magic of Holm and the 'Elemental Will' organization in the Magic Council to recognize magicians who have made breakthrough contributions in the field of elemental magic and can leave their mark in the history of elemental magic."
"It is not often awarded, and in the more than 270 years since its establishment, only 24 magicians have been able to receive it, and it is the highest honor in elemental magic. My mother won the award for introducing electromagnetic theory in the elemental field and discovering a metal element lighter than water, and she is also the youngest recipient of the 'Holm Crown' Award."
"Each winning magician will receive a custom-made and unique level 7 magic ring as a gift. And each ring has its own 'proper name', and my mother's one comes from the element 'Mo' she discovered and named."
