After leaving the "betrayer's ending", Lucian and the Sage quickly left Morningstar's home and merged into the darkness to avoid being blocked by the church.
In fact, the professor's behavior style is no longer unfamiliar to the judge who has experienced it once, so they doubt whether the professor deliberately appeared in the magic circle to expose the spies they planted and repeat a fire wolf incident, and even the court has planned to use several spies as bait to set traps - the news of the headquarters of the Magic Council and the professor's reappearance will circulate to other magical circles through mercury and other circles, which also have spies, and also pass on similar information to the night watchmen.
On the other hand, the exposure of the sage's identity and the actions of the clown made the person in charge of the court believe that the target of the professor's trap was the clown, the night watchman who was hunting, so the center of gravity shifted, and there was no time to set up the trap, but only arranged for two ordinary night watchmen to secretly protect and guard, which was easily hidden by Lucian and killed Morningstar.
Lucian and the sage secretly turned around in the dark, passed through several blocks, and came to a secret hiding place that the sage had arranged a few years ago.
"Mr. Professor, I didn't expect that in addition to being good at astrology and elements, you are also very proficient in necromancy." The sage, who was really relieved until this time, sighed that his tone was very weak after losing too much blood as his body had not yet reached the level of a quasi-knight.
When he witnessed Lucian using the necromancer magic circle he practiced with his human body to mix one-third of his blood with the corpses of stumps and broken legs collected in the Black Forest to form a body that was no different from a real person, the sage was shocked from the bottom of his heart.
Lucian still pretended to be hoarse and smiled slightly: "It's still far from mastery, but I started to make up for this weakness more than a year ago, but the council's research on human body refining has made great progress, for example, the results of the cellular memory I used can give full play to the role of your blood.
After more than a year of research, coupled with a solid foundation in arcane and magic, Lucian, who is already a four-ring magician, is no worse than Hunter, who was refined into a human body, in necromancy, and thanks to the progress of arcane and magic, human body refining is closer to reality.
"It's still far from mastery? What should it be like to be truly proficient in necromancy?" Even though he was weak, the sage couldn't help but ask a question of surprise, and then he thought of something: "Felipe Canelo, who suddenly rose from the bottom of the purification sequence to the ninety-eleventh place more than two years ago, was a necromancer, and when he rose in the rankings, he was only five rings, and then he was promoted to a high rank. Is the mastery you are referring to him, professor?"
As the "former" Archon of Aalto City Hall, Viscount Klein the Sage is qualified to learn about the purification sequence in detail.
"I have to admit that he is very proficient in necromancy." No matter how tense the relationship with Felipe was, Lucian did not belittle him at will, he was indeed a rare genius in necromancy. And Felipe was already at a high level, even though many young magicians in the Magic Council compared themselves to him, but he was still very aware of the current gap between the two.
The promotion of magic is getting more and more difficult the further it goes, especially in several passes, when the five rings are promoted to a high level, they have already begun to need the assistance of magic rituals, there is not enough arcane and magic accumulation, and the failure rate is extremely high.
Then, Lucian changed the subject: "Sage, I'm sorry to involve you in this matter without explaining in detail, and whether the Joker will really kill you, whether the distance between the Night Watch and him is enough for me to rescue you, it is unknown, which puts you in great danger. I sincerely apologize for this."
Worried that the Joker would ask some details after controlling it, Lucian didn't mention the trap to the sage at all, only hinting that he would be in great danger tonight and that he would save him.
"It's okay, Mr. Professor, I've always believed in your wisdom, and if I want to escape from this dark and oppressive life and embark on a new path in life, how can I not pay a little price?" Because Lucian had hinted in advance, the sage himself nodded thoughtfully at the time, and after seeing the clown, he probably understood what was going on, and took advantage of the situation to perform a nobleman's arrogance and hypocrisy, so he was more open-minded about this, and then he laughed and said, "Besides, I believe that Mr. Professor, you must have made other arrangements at that time, so that I would not really die."
Lucian nodded slightly, Camille was indeed nearby at the time: "No matter what, putting you in great danger is a bad thing, and the items you get from Morningstar are left to you as compensation, sage. Don't refuse, this is my principle of life. Okay, you take the potion and rest for a while, and then leave Alto as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mr. Professor. I feel a lot more relaxed now." After the sage became an official magician, the pressure was increasing, and the status of the archon and the status of the viscount not only could not bring him glory and enjoyment, but made him feel an indescribable panic, and as he got older, he had long had the idea of putting aside everything to find the mystery of magic.
…………
In the Latah Summer Palace, Natasha, who had a gloomy and indifferent expression, symbolically hugged Grand Duke Vaorit who had arrived after hearing the news, and comforted him: "Father, don't worry about me, I will recover soon. Don't worry, have I suffered fewer blows and tribulations? I think this is the Lord's test for me, and my mother and the others will look at me lovingly on Heaven Mountain, so I will live well, live happily, and live for you."
"Poor little Natasha, I believe in your tenacity, but don't hold yourself back too much." Grand Duke Valiet touched her hair affectionately, the child must be very sad, forgetting that her mother was a magician, how could her soul go to Heaven Mountain? But little Natasha is really pitiful, she just came out of her closed heart, and her only two relationships did not end well.
However, what relieved the Grand Duke was that at least his daughter's love with Lucian Evans showed that she not only liked girls, but at most she had never had the opportunity to fall in love with a man before, so don't force her too much later, so as not to develop in the opposite direction.
"Father, please allow me to be quiet for a while tonight." No one wants to deceive their loved ones, but their last relationship hurt too deeply, and so far, their feelings for women are better than men's, so it is best to have a longer period of time to be quiet and discern their hearts.
Grand Duke Valire nodded and touched her hair again: "Natasha, I believe you can get out."
Watching Natasha return to the "War Gallery" with Camille and several guards, Grand Duke Vaulite's face suddenly changed: "After she won't be hit, both women and men won't like it, right?"
In the War Gallery, Camille sat quietly on the sofa, while Natasha was in a bad mood and vented on the piano, and the passionate and sad melody echoed repeatedly.
"This is the best "Sadness" I've ever heard you play, but can you stop and talk about what happened in the villa, did the clown and the night watchmen find anything?" A guard stood by the piano without leaving the room, and teased Natasha in a familiar tone, trying to make her feel better.
Natasha stopped her fingers, took a deep breath, and regained her composure: "Lucian, your doll is well made, they didn't find any problems."
This guard is Lucian in disguise, and after saying goodbye to the sage, he quietly joins Camille and sneaks into the Latasha Palace under the cover of her and Natasha, hiding in this seemingly dangerous place.
"I'm very confident in the doll that used a quarter of my blood, I care about Natasha, how you behave, if you suddenly lose your laughter when you are sad and sad and say 'love words', things will be completely messed up." Lucian understood that Natasha was in a bad mood for deceiving the Grand Duke, so he made a joke.
Natasha snorted twice: "Am I the one who can't control myself? I think I could have done opera at that time! But that kind of role is a bit not suitable for me, I should be like this......"
Before she finished speaking, Natasha shook her body and appeared directly in front of Lucian, then pressed her right hand on her chest, buried her head slightly, stared at Lucian's eyes from a very close distance, and said "affectionately" in a man's posture:
"Whenever I see the moonlight, I think of me."
Staring with their eyes and breathing audible, I don't know why, Lucian and Natasha, who are usually used to making similar jokes, both became a little uncomfortable after seeing each other's beautiful and deep pupils.
Natasha laughed dryly and stepped back, and Lucian also took the opportunity to take a step to the side.
"By the way, Lucian, why don't you let me kill the Joker with a sword, but let him run away with serious injuries and dying? Although I am confident that he will not live long, there is always the possibility of accidents." Natasha does have some admiration for the clown's perseverance in eliminating evil, but when facing unruly crazy people, admiration cannot change her position. Therefore, for the Joker, Natasha is determined to kill, if it weren't for Lucian's repeated admonitions, she would not have been able to cut a little with a sword if she hadn't fallen into "anger" at that time.
Lucian smiled slightly mysteriously: "I'm waiting for his appearance."
"He?" Natasha asked suspiciously.
Lucian laughed and said vaguely: "Although I haven't met him this time, I think I can guess his thoughts, and the smooth progress of this matter is thanks to his 'help'."
"Can't you reveal it?" Natasha didn't have the idea of stalking someone else's secret.
Lucian shook his head: "You'd better not know, but I will tell you a result."
"Where did you know the results?" Natasha felt more and more mysterious about Lucian's methods after returning from the Magic Council.
Lucian smiled and said nothing.
…………
After arranging for Lucian to hide in an empty room in the War Gallery, Natasha leaned back on her chair with a slightly gloomy expression, looking at the silver moon outside the window.
Although he and Lucian were good friends, in this incident, the faint estrangement between a magician and a nobleman who believed in the true god was undeniably revealed.
Camille, who didn't know when she went out, pushed open the door and walked in slowly.
"Aunt Camille, what's new information outside?" Natasha asked without turning her head.
Camille's serious face showed a bit of eccentricity: "The professor reappeared, leaving behind the 'betrayer's ending', so the night watchmen judged that it was he who killed the great musician, and then designed to frame the Joker. Of course, the clown's previous actions against the agreement between the church and the nobility should also be put to death."
Startled, Natasha's expression softened.
