Chapter 160 Escape (Monthly Pass 2650 Extra Update)
In Felipe's view, the professor refused to admit defeat and was trying to save his last face. Since his request did not harm himself, wouldn't he add a clause to the contract signed by the magic apprentices so that they could not reveal the identity of the Sturk City liaison to each other's students and friends?
But having already won a substantial victory, it seems that there is no need to take great risks to go to war with a powerful and mysterious enemy, and appropriately giving the opponent a step down is the choice of any rational magician, especially the professor has shown undoubted talent in the field of elemental and necromancy.
After only a few seconds of hesitation, Felipe smiled and said, "Okay, just follow your request, Mr. Professor, because this is caused by our previous disagreement on the definition of living matter without prior agreement."
Then he turned to all the necromancers and apprentices: "In the 'Pearl of the Sea' Sturk City, there is a bank called 'Canjin', and their owner, Mr. Graneuf, is not only one of the maintainers of the underground order in Sturk, but also the liaison of the Magic Council, responsible for arranging for official magicians and some lucky magic apprentices to cross the church's blockade to Alinge."
After saying all this, Felipe turned his head sideways and spread his hands at Lucian: "I have completed my bet, and I ask you to keep your promise, Mr. Professor."
Lucian glanced at all the necromancers and apprentices "angrily": "Your ignorance will eventually cause you to taste the bitter fruits, and those who cannot distinguish between enemies and friends will always live in misery."
The expressions of the magicians and apprentices who were excitedly and happily discussing the professor's magic experiments that did not overturn the theory of human life force suddenly stiffened, as if they and others could not get rid of the pale hand.
I don't know how many people's eyes became painful and desperate, but they couldn't find any reason for the professor to help themselves and others resist again.
Lucian, who was extremely happy in his heart but extremely "angry" with his emotions on the outside, strode down the high platform and shuttled forward through the forest of eyes with his headless momentum and posture.
"Viscount Karenerdia, please allow me to take my leave early." As a sorcerer who was evaluated as very cunning, Lucian did not let his anger linger for long, as it would not seem real enough, but quickly calmed down and said goodbye to his master.
Viscount Karenerdia raised a glass with a little red wine: "Thank you, professor, for showing me the latest results of arcane research in the field of elemental magic. Failure is only temporary, and I think with your talent and strength, you will definitely become a famous big man in the history of magic. Okay, Ned butler, take Mr. Professor out of the castle."
"Thank you, viscount, for your compliment." Lucian didn't dare to say much, for fear of exposing his inner ecstasy, and then walked to the door of the hall at the invitation of Ned's respectful gesture.
In the countless lights of shame, oppression, or despair, in Felipe's guarded eyes to prevent the professor's surprise attack, Lucian walked calmly.
Suddenly Viscount Karun Erdia laughed: "Mr. Professor, there is actually something I have always wanted to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Lucian cursed Viscount Karenerdia in his heart, couldn't he let himself leave quietly as a "loser"?
Viscount Karen Ardia said with a slightly expectant expression: "Mr. Professor, you have a faint smell on you that is about to disappear, and it is familiar to me. I don't know if you know another man named Karen Erdia?"
Lucian said suspiciously: "Karen Erdia is not a rare surname, and there is even a duke surnamed Karen Erdia in the Gust Empire. But speaking of whom I know, there is indeed a gentleman named Rheinkarun Erdia."
Could it be that Rhine is a dark creature who is related to this viscount?
The reason why I didn't think of this before was because this surname was too common, just like on Earth, Lucian would not directly think that they were relatives with Brother Qiang when he met people with the surname "Li".
"Silver hair and silver eyes?" Ned Butler, who rarely interjected when his master was talking, turned around and asked Lucian.
Lucian nodded: "Do you know Mr. Rhine?"
Viscount Kareneldia held his forehead and sighed: "Of course, he is my grandfather, based on your human relationship. But he has always left his descendants irresponsibly."
"It's really ......," Lucian added in his heart, "It's destined to meet thousands of miles away." And there was an absurd feeling that the generations were rising, after all, he and Rhein were friends.
Seeing that the professor knew Viscount Karen's grandfather, Felipe became more and more sure that his strength and arcane level could have descendants of this level, that Mr. Rhine was at least a high-level vampire, and a professor with such a friend would naturally not be bad.
"Please tell me, Mr. Professor, where is my grandfather now?" Viscount Karen Ardia looked at Lucian with bright eyes.
Lucian was silent for a moment: "The last time I saw Mr. Rhein was in Aalto. As for now, I don't know."
"Thank you, Mr. Professor. Hehe, since you know my grandfather, why don't you stay in the castle as a guest?" Viscount Karun Ardia warmly invited.
How dare Lucian stay, after unexpectedly achieving his goal, this is the best opportunity to leave. If their relationship is really good, then why does Rhine seem to have basically never returned to the castle: "Thank you Viscount for your kindness, Viscount, but I am not in the mood to stay here, and I have other tasks."
Viscount Karen Ardia did not force it, but smiled and said: "Then I hope to have the opportunity to meet you again in the future, Mr. Professor, and may the silver moon bless you with all the best."
Nodding, Lucian's back muscles tightened, trying to maintain a calm state and continue to follow Ned Butler, extremely afraid that other accidents would happen in his heart, and he didn't have much confidence to face other changes!
Fortunately, there were no accidents this time, Lucian left the hall smoothly and walked towards the gate of the castle.
Witnessing the professor's back disappearing into the darkness at the door, the "fat man" muttered to himself: "If we had agreed to the professor's experiment against our will just now, would there be another result?"
"I think there may be a fierce magic battle, and maybe it will affect us, because Mr. Felipe will never back down again!" The necromancer in front of them shook his head and sighed, "Now is probably the best result......"
Cecy, Tess, and Sidney looked at each other and nodded slightly, understanding that each other meant to take advantage of Mr. Felipe's victory over the professor to get better details for himself and others without changing the main terms of the "Pale Hand" magic contract.
Felipe put his hands in his trench coat pockets and smiled, watching the professor leave with a victorious attitude.
But when Lucian really disappeared at the door, his expression quickly darkened and became extremely ugly, and his fists in his trench coat pockets were clenched tightly. Regardless of whether he and the arcanists and magicians in the Pale Hand are willing to admit that urea is a living substance, in the field of elemental magic, the professor's magic experiments have been subversive and groundbreaking results, and will surely lead a trend of synthesizing various living substances only by relying on elements or other non-living things, and the professor will also receive countless praises and honors for this.
Felipe is still very self-aware and discerning about these things.
"Can the theory of human life mechanics withstand this storm?"
"I am also a young magician, I can't be left away by the professor!"
…………
Leaving the gate of Karenerdia Castle, Lucian found himself in a completely unfamiliar deep mountain, full of tall trees, unable to see the bright sky of the silver moon and the sparkling lake before.
"Mr. Professor, the castle's name is Amorechuk, and it is an alchemical life." Since Lucian knew the old Count Rhine, Ned explained respectfully.
Lucian nodded, no wonder the meeting place of the Death Feast has not changed, it turns out that the location has never changed: "Hehe, it seems that I disturbed Amorechuk when I confirmed my identity with the hand of resonance."
Alchemy life is a life-like thing refined by the combination of specific souls, ghosts, etc., which is recorded in the "Book of Necromancy", Lucian just didn't think about it before, because no matter who it is, he will subconsciously ignore that such a huge castle has life.
"It's okay, Mr. Professor." A dull voice came from inside the castle, "It's just a little itchy."
In response to Amorechuk's answer, Lucian could only tugged at the corners of his mouth, then bid farewell to Ned Butler and Amorechuk, and walked into the forest with an unhurried, steady and calm pace.
It wasn't until he moved away from the castle and checked his surroundings with a few magic spells from the Book of Astrology and Elements that Lucian turned into a faint silver moonlight and ran wildly.
If you don't take advantage of Felipe's opportunity to discuss the details of the contract with those necromancers and apprentices, Lucian will be a fool that he will despise.
I don't know how far he ran, I don't know how many turns he made, but seeing that the sun was about to rise, Lucian returned to the place where he had hidden other belongings.
Changing into formal clothes and burning off his hooded jacket, Lucian suddenly sat limp under the tree, his hands and feet weak, and his heart was beating wildly, which was the most dangerous situation in his life.
In front of Felipe, who was unable to resist, he finally relied on his calmness and adaptability to seize the fleeting opportunity to escape.
"Ever since I took risks to obtain the Crown of the Sun in the Mystery and became an official magician, and since I sabotaged Baron Gabelo's plans with adventure and decisiveness, my mentality seems to be unbalanced and inflated, and I am more and more inclined to take risks, relying more and more on so-called contingency to deal with things, forgetting that strength is the foundation of everything."
"The lesson of this death feast is just right."
"Hehe, fortunately, I achieved my goal and learned Graneuf's identity. I must not take such risks in the future!"
Lucian, who was deeply reflected, got up and went east after his body recovered.
Target: Sturk, the pearl of the sea!
