After the familiar dizziness, a strange flower that seemed to have drunk blood appeared in front of Lucian's eyes, boundless, like a crimson ocean.
It seemed to have sensed the breath of a living person, and the flowers bloomed slowly, petals after petals, and the heavy dark red slowly unfolded, revealing the flesh and blood that kept wriggling.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, they swelled and contracted like Lucian's heartbeat.
On Lucian's entire spine, the hairs stood up as if they were electrocuted, shuddering.
This strange flower is extremely glamorous, and it seems to be extremely dangerous!
After a brief moment of fear, Lucian quickly calmed down and understood that this was the garden of the "Observer's Castle" described by Rhine, so he made a sharp voice and recited a spell that normal people could not complete.
Hearing this spell, the demonic flowers swayed gently, making a welcoming look, and then quickly closed and turned into blood-colored insects the size of hair, densely packed and wriggling.
In the middle, a tide faded away, revealing the cold and damp black land.
"Is this a flower or a worm? How can I never see such a magical creature......" Lucian's fanatical research as an arcanist was highlighted, full of curiosity about this creature that had not been included in the "High Arcane and Magic Library", if it weren't for a general understanding of how dangerous a legendary garden was, at this time he had already cast magic to try to catch a few small insects, "maybe an ancient creature that has become extinct from the outside world......"
While guessing, Lucian stepped out of the node teleportation array and walked along the black road cracked by the "Crimson Sea" towards the main entrance of the hall that was vaguely visible in the distance.
The blood-colored insects gathered again, condensing into a strange flower, emitting a rich sweet fragrance, just smelling it, there was a feeling of weakness in the legs and a confused mind.
Lucian subconsciously used an air filter bubble to keep the sweet fragrance outside.
The strange bright red flowers suddenly boiled and swayed violently towards Lucian, like resentful ghosts with outstretched arms.
"Are they so sensitive to magic fluctuations?" And full of aggression!
Lucian resisted the urge to cast his magic to resist, allowing the wriggling petals to wander back and forth around him, their faces scratching their faces from time to time, bringing tickling numbness.
Although the fluctuations of magic were no longer captured, the undulating crimson sea of "waves" showed no signs of calming down, and "teeth and claws" surrounded Lucian.
Lucian uses the "electronic" of Holm's crown ring to put himself in a very focused state, turning a blind eye to the dangers and horrors around him, and moving slowly without haste.
Although it was not clear how terrifying this bright red creature that looked like a flower but not a flower, like a bug but not a bug, Lucian decided to be careful based on that premonition of danger. Even if you can destroy these monsters yourself, there will definitely be other high-level strange "plants" in the Rhine garden.
In the midst of the "stormy seas", Lucian seemed to calmly walk out of the "ocean" and stepped on a tree-lined road leading directly to the main entrance of the castle hall.
Two rows of tall trees resembling sycamore trees were planted next to the road, and the half-withered yellow leaves fell to the ground in a spiral, creating a beautiful scenery similar to the Altogisu district in front of the dark and gloomy castle.
Lucian walked up the boulevard and headed towards the main entrance of the hall.
Suddenly, rows of black and white eyes opened on the tall trees like plane trees, each of which reflected Lucian's figure, and each road Sean figure had a different expression, some were puzzled, some were smiling, some were angry, and some were cold, their dark and deep eyes stared straight at the real Lucian.
Being looked at by these strange eyes, Lucian's forehead was sweating slightly, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: "This time I met the real Crimson Demon Tree."
The last time it was seen in a dream, it was embodied based on Lucian's subconscious impression of the Scarlet Demon Tree, and there was a certain gap between it and the real one.
This kind of magic tree has a hard time growing, but as long as it enters the mature stage, it is a high-level strength, like the eye demon, good at emitting various rays, and at the same time likes to suck blood, good at creating illusions.
Lucian, who was wearing many high-level magic items, thought that if he encountered one or two scarlet demon trees alone, he would be sure to turn them into materials, but there were two rows here!
"It is indeed a legendary vampire's castle." Lucian paced to the main entrance of the castle hall as if he were attending a banquet, under the real "public eye".
When the soft feeling under his feet became hard and smooth, Lucian quietly breathed a sigh of relief, passing through the dense group of monsters was really a very torturous thing, even if he had the spell told by Rhine, the subconscious feeling was inevitable.
The pressure dissipated a lot, Lucian calmly stood at the main entrance of the hall, but before he could raise his right hand, a humming and dull sound came from inside the castle:
"I feel the mark of the master on you."
"Yes, I was commissioned by Mr. Rhein to come to the castle to pick up a few items." Lucian replied briefly. As long as you get the approval of the alchemy life that presides over the castle, there is no danger in taking away the transformation mask, ritual artifacts, and mission rewards.
The dull voice with echoes said: "I am the castle 'Mihalik', please recite the spell of passage."
"Klihami." Only then did Lucian understand the origin of the spell set by Rhine, which turned out to be the reverse writing of the name of the alchemy life, and couldn't help but scold amusedly: "There is no creativity at all, it is better to open the door with sesame seeds!"
"Dear guest, please come in." The castle gate slowly opened, revealing an elegantly decorated hall, "Except for the control core, energy room, and the bottom of the treasure house, you can go to the rest of the places as long as you have an opening spell."
…………
In a room filled with books of different styles from different historical periods, Lucian followed Rhine's instructions, reciting spells while using his mental power to condense into spikes and stab the pen holder hard.
A dark light lit up on the pen holder, making a tooth-tinging mechanical turning sound, and slowly retreated to the side, revealing a dark round hole.
After carefully checking that there was no problem, Lucian used the mage's hand to take out several objects in the round hole.
They are a small statue of a sphinx, a ball of filthy blood, a plantagenet brooch, and a clown mask that highlights a funny smile.
"The Shapeshifting Mask, a ninth-level mid-level magic item, the person who wears it can transform into any creature of the same gender, but does not possess the creature's innate abilities. At the same time, if you collect the other person's blood, you can completely change into the other person's appearance."
"At present, 7,895 different types of blood have been recorded, and the person who wears it can choose from them."
"This transformation comes from the origin of blood, if you don't step into the legendary realm, you can't see through it, even if it's a legend, if you don't carefully discern it, you will be deceived."
"You must have one of your mental powers and will reach or approach a high level before you can wear it, otherwise you will get lost in different identities and become a complete lunatic."
"Many times, identity works better than magic!"
"——A certain anonymous magician with a 'split mind'."
As Lucian performed the "Identification Technique", the information and structure of the clown mask clearly appeared in his mind, and the other three items, Lucian could only identify that they all contained strange and obscure supernatural energy, and had slightly different properties, which were the ritual items that opened the three magic circles.
After packing the items and masks, Lucian seized the time to "enter" some of the books Rhein had collected into the Soul Library, and he called himself an "observer of history", which must contain valuable anecdotes.
However, worried that "Mihalik" would find something unusual, Lucian did not read it quickly, and it took him six hours to complete the fifty books he liked.
…………
All kinds of shining gems, gold coins from different countries at different times, sets of brand new knightly armor, exquisite magic robes, as well as long swords, hammers, axes, spears and other extraordinary weapons, belts, boots, rings, talismans, necklaces and other magical items, scrolls, liquids, metals, feathers, gases and other things dazzled Lucian's eyes, and the things that could be collected by the legendary vampire of Rhine either had extremely high historical or artistic value, or were very rare or powerful.
Among the many extraordinary items, the lowest is also the middle level, most of them belong to the high level, but there are no ninth-level or legendary realm artifacts, which are obviously placed at the bottom of the treasure house.
After Lucian "carefully selected", "couldn't put it down", "swayed left and right", and "reluctantly gave up", he finally chose a scroll and a belt.
"Eight Rings Magic Scroll, 'Night Shuttle'!"
"Health belt, eighth level high-level magic items, immune disease, immune toxin, immune to negative energy damage brought by level seal, immune to legendary magic that lowers physique."
"Health is the true meaning of life."
"—Whitehorse Philosophy"
These two items, the former can be counteracted with the space lock, which is an excellent choice when escaping for life, and it is the natural magic of high-level vampires, which has not yet been simulated by the arcanists, and Lucian intends to use this scroll as a reference and use it at critical moments.
The latter's cascade of immunity effects is also extremely useful.
After leaving a mental power mark in the "Health Belt", Lucian turned his head to look at the place where the magic wand was placed, intending to carefully choose one. The magic staff on his body was still level two, which was too incompatible with his status as a high-level magician.
When he was confused by the seventh or eighth level magic staffs, Lucian suddenly saw an ordinary long sword on the stand next to him, which was inconspicuous, and even the gauntlets were made of wood.
"How could Mr. Rhine collect such an ordinary long sword?" Lucian had strong doubts and threw an "appraisal technique" at the long sword.
When the information feedback came back, Lucian was immediately stunned.
"Pale Justice, the eighth level perfect level transcendent longsword, when facing evil creatures (necromancers, devils, demons, etc.), it is additionally upgraded to the level of a first-level legendary weapon. Those who hold this sword are not affected by negative states such as fear, charm, rage, and helplessness, and every sword they swing will be pulled by justice and will hit everywhere."
"It takes at least the power of a level six heavenly knight to pick up this long sword of justice."
"Justice, compared with vanity and the power of empty appearances, is inherently inferior and pale, but justice applies to everyone, rich or poor, regardless of knowledge. Whether in the farmer's field or on the fierce battlefield, justice is everywhere."
It turned out to be this "famous" long sword!
