…………………………………………………………………………
In the bathroom paved with patterned rock in the corner of the restaurant, the faint scent of flowers and plants masked the original residual atmosphere.
Lucian locked the wooden door, pretended to be tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror, carefully examined the bathroom room, and then waited quietly for dozens of seconds before taking out a fist-sized morning light crystal ball and a cold iron dagger from the wide pocket on the left.
Picking up the dagger and gently slashing it on his left wrist, the cold and sluggish feeling reached Lucian's brain, and drops of blood fell on the sink.
Then Lucian's right index finger stretched out, and strange symbols were written in the void, and under its pull, the scarlet blood that had just dripped twisted and wriggled into a not-so-complex magic line structure.
This is the arrangement that Lucian uses to mask the magic waves generated by the use of crystal balls.
Although it was difficult to say how effective the hastily arranged magic circle would be, the ominous premonition in Lucian's heart made him not bother to think about it so much.
The strange performance of Grey Mist Town and Baron Habero made Lucian think that as long as he hesitated and delayed for a while, he would encounter a great danger that he could not escape.
The magic circle painted by the blood slowly lit up, and the demonic blood light rippled softly, wrapping the transparent and beautiful crystal ball in the center.
Lucian stretched out his hands, stroked the crystal ball, and chanted a mysterious mantra in his mouth like a dream.
The crystal ball gradually became dark and dark, and bright but blurred stars lit up in it, like the reflection of the starry sky at night.
This is the most unique and difficult "astrology" in the astrological system!
After Lucian became an official magician and obtained the "Morning Light Crystal Ball", his thorough mastery of "elementary astrological knowledge" and original astrophysical knowledge allowed him to quickly learn "elementary astrology", and the accuracy and clarity of the results were slightly higher than that of elementary astrology.
This made Lucian feel even more strange about "fate".
One after another, the magical and mysterious star trajectories crossed by, and the starry sky inside the crystal ball began to form a unique star phase.
Lucian, whose black eyes had recovered from the darkness and depths, frowned and said secretly: "Judging from the results of astrology, the main star of destiny does have signs of dim signs, and danger has always shrouded us. And it seems that as time goes by, the danger will become stronger and stronger, and even the main star of destiny may fall!"
Although Lucian's "Elementary Astrology" slightly exceeds the level of its peers, it can still only get very vague results that only roughly define the danger, such as what the danger is, where it comes from, why it is getting stronger and stronger, who the enemy is, etc.
And even the astrology of the "prophet" is not accurate enough and is full of ambiguity and uncertainty. This is the mystery of fate.
Putting away the morning light crystal ball, Lucian took out the dark red "Fireweaver Bracelet" from his right pocket and put it on, and then put the Ice Avenger Ring with metallic texture and sapphire brilliance on his left index finger.
Previously, the guards had only taken away the vigilant long sword, but Lucian was afraid that the baron would be able to recognize the magic items, so he took off the other two pieces in advance and hid them, except for the "Crown of the Sun" that was already hidden by his clothes.
"The results of astrology are very vague, and I am not sure if the danger comes from the baron, it is likely to be after leaving the castle.
"But if we delay the observation and wait until the real danger comes, it may be too late!"
…………
The idea of not harming innocent people and the instinctive idea of protecting oneself under danger clashed fiercely in Lucian's heart.
But Lucian, who understood the urgency of the matter, did not dwell too much, hid the weak dagger upside down in his sleeve, and scooped clear water from the cistern to make a clattering sound.
"Just like Natasha said, you can't hesitate!"
"Since I can't be sure, then I'll try it myself! If you make a mistake and there is still room to remedy and apologize, but if you don't do anything, then you really don't have to do anything! Because the dead don't need to do anything at all!"
"We must seize the opportunity and solve it before the danger of the fall of my destiny lord star comes!"
Lucian opened the wooden door of the bathroom, his hands drooped naturally, and he walked towards the dining table with a firm and decisive step.
But Lucian had just taken a few steps when he unexpectedly found that Baron Habero and Kailyn were not at the table, so he asked more vigilantly and vigilantly: "Where did the Baron and Mrs. Kailyn go?"
Even though this change had made Lucian feel urgent and had to hurry up, his tone was still calm and natural,
"The baron is a little uncomfortable, Mrs. Kailin helped him to the bedroom to take the medicine, and he will be back later." Betty replied with a slight concern about Jabelo's physical condition.
Lucian nodded lightly, his eyes cold: "Then I'll go visit the baron."
Did "Sadness" just now make him lose control of his emotions and cause bad changes in his body, or was he ready to take action? If it is the former, then it seems to be the best choice to break in directly and take advantage of the fact that he has not yet resumed his actions, and if it is the latter, a surprise action can interrupt the other party's plan.
Of course, the baron may also be a truly kind-hearted hero with a recurrence of an old illness, so what he needs is an apology and apologies, but this is not worth mentioning compared to the danger.
"Mr. Evans, the baron will be back soon." Betty stood up in surprise and looked at Lucian, as did Simon, Joanna, and Wise, among others
Lucian didn't answer them, turned around and walked outside the restaurant.
In the bewildered eyes of Betty and the others, Lucian went to the door and asked the soldiers guarding: "Where is the baron's bedroom? I want to visit him."
"Mr. Evans, the baron ordered you to stay in the dining room." The two soldiers crossed their ceremonial spears and blocked the gate, answering in a polite but unemotional tone.
Lucian nodded, smiled slightly, and suddenly his figure moved and hit one of the soldiers, and the weak dagger hidden in his sleeve stabbed his arm.
The restaurant was quiet, and no one expected Lucian to do it directly.
Is he crazy?!
Aaron's weakened dagger pierced the soldier's body, but he, who should have become weak, pulled out his long sword and slashed at Lucian with full force, and the muscles on his face swelled as if they were about to burst.
And what came out of his arm was not blood, but yellowish pus, which smelled bad.
Lucian was agile and easily dodged, and when he sent the dagger forward, he cut the soldier's neck, and at the same time rolled to the side, dodging the other soldier's spear.
"Murdered...... Evans killed someone!"
Even the calm and capable Simon and Joanna were dumbfounded in place.
But they immediately saw a faint milky white holy light rippling from Mr. Evans, causing the soldier with the spear to cry out in pain, and then collapse to the ground, his body rapidly decaying, as if he had been dead for a long time.
"This is ......," Simon asked subconsciously, if the rapid decomposition of the first soldier's body could be pushed onto Mr. Evans' dark dagger, then the soldier's change gave him a bad premonition.
Lucian put away the debilitating dagger, picked up the vigilant long sword, and replied calmly: "Corpse puppet. Mr. Mars, do you know where the Baron's bedroom is?" I still don't know much about necromancy magic! Although the debilitating dagger is stronger than the vigilant long sword, Lucian, who trained with John and Natasha, can play better with the long sword.
Whether it was Lucian's murder without warning or the changes in the two corpses, it made the musician, who had never seen the dangerous scene, fall into a nightmare, until he was slapped hard in the back by Joanna before he came back to his senses and stammered to explain the location of Baron Jabelo's bedroom.
"Simon, you are responsible for blocking the guards rushing downstairs, and at the same time protecting Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars." Lucian ordered concisely, although he didn't know how much strength the baron had left, but being surrounded by soldiers with longbows in a fierce battle with him would definitely have a certain impact on him.
Betty, who was a little pale with fright, came back to her senses and subconsciously replied: "Mr. Evans, I will guard the staircase. With my archery skills, as long as there are no knight-level strong people, I will definitely be able to stop them for a long time." Archery inherited from elven blood is Betty's pride.
Then, she saw Mr. Evans drag out a faint afterimage and disappear at the door.
"Knight? Mr. Evans is a knight-level powerhouse! Paladin?!" Betty blurted out with her eyes wide open.
Looking back, she saw that her mature and beautiful sister and shrewd and capable brother-in-law all looked surprised with their mouths half-open, and only Mars and Wise still looked like they were having a nightmare.
A knight can actually hire adventurers to protect him?! He can destroy all the adventurers in Dragontooth Town, as well as the bandits and beasts in the wild! The nobleman's hobbies are really weird!
"Betty, pick up your short bow and guard the staircase with me." Simon was the first to come back to his senses and quickly ordered the others, "Joanna, you bring the two gentlemen and follow you."
Betty nodded hurriedly, found her short bow from the two dead soldiers, and ran to the staircase.
…………
Lucian ran with all his might in the slightly dark corridor, and being able to advance the time by one second might be the key to turning the tide of the battle.
"Who? Stop quickly!" The soldiers guarding the corner of the corridor saw a dark shadow rushing towards them and hurriedly shouted loudly.
After becoming corpse puppets, their intelligence is significantly reduced.
Lucian didn't answer, rushed forward, and cut off the heads of the two soldiers with two vigilant long sword brushes, and then continued to run without stopping.
It wasn't until he saw Baron Gabelo's bedroom that Lucian stopped and did not rush directly to kill the gatekeeper.
After quietly observing and feeling the strength of the magic circle on the door, the constant power of the "Transcendence Undead" of Lucian's chest talisman "Crown of the Sun" surged over like a wave, and the four low-level undead creatures were purified and fell to the ground before they even had time to shout.
When the sound of falling to the ground sounded, Lucian rushed out, and after his body turned into a half-moon, he held a vigilant long sword and a weakening dagger and slammed it into the door.
One by one, the black magic runes lit up and shattered one after another, collapsing instantly under the attack of the two extraordinary weapons, and the door was directly slammed open by Lucian.
Lucian, who knocked open the door, used the power of the rebound to roll backwards instead of advancing.
At the same time, the spell model in the body moved, and two silver-black missiles condensed out of thin air and flew into the bedroom.
Inside the wide open bedroom door, Baron Habelo, with many terrifying wrinkles on his face, was sitting in the center of a strange triangular black magic circle.
On the three corners of the magic circle were a baby, a seven or eight-year-old child, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who were bound by black illusory tentacles, and bursts of milky white light visible to the naked eye converged through the magic circle into a pale white pupilless eyeball in the center.
The pale pupilless eyes, driven by the spell of Kailin next to him, slowly flowed out two lines of blood-like tears, slowly filling the silver cup in Baron Gabelo's hand.
Two magic missiles smashed into the silver cup in Habelo's stunned gaze.
