Chapter 396 Gathering (First Update)
In the next month, Lucian was like a self-confident and sane Borac, spending most of his time refining his bloodline and familiarizing himself with strength, while the rest of the time lingered at various banquets. There is not enough time for magical experiments with bloodline modification.
On this day, the sky was gloomy, lead clouds pressed down on the city, and the cold wind was blowing, and it seemed that the first snowstorm since the beginning of winter was coming.
The villa built by the Plantagenet family during the ancient magical empire was filled with an eerie aura at any time, and the smell of antiquity and decay seemed to be directly breathed through the nose.
Lucian, who had changed into an all-black knight uniform, was tall and slender, with firm and powerful steps, and calmly walked into the bottom floor of the basement of the main house.
Several senior executives of the Plantagenet family who had already gathered here nodded lightly when they saw his demeanor, whether they hated him or not, and whether they supported him or not, they all nodded lightly, so that they could be considered excellent Plantagenet members and be "qualified" to compete for the title of Earl of Tiris.
"In just over a month, Bollack was able to adjust his state so well, hey, he stimulated the power of the bloodline?" Count Oldenburg Nuremberg Van Anjou almost forgot to put the chunky "Briana cigar" in his mouth.
He is the second strongest in the Plantagenet family after the two golden knights, the eighth-level sky knight "Dim Starlight", so from Lucian's undeliberately concealed gait posture and the frequency of vasodilation, it is judged that "Borak" has the strength of a knight.
Duke Plantagenet, the seventh-level Sky Knight "Moon of Order" Ulrich replied affirmatively: "He got some relics from his father, thus successfully stimulating the 'Silver Moon' bloodline."
"Beckman is favored by his uncle and must have a lot of treasures." Nuremberg looked at the Duke with a smile. They both had the same blonde hair and blue eyes, with deep contours, but the duke's hair was already a little gray.
It is rumored that he once wanted to leave the title to Beckman, but in the underground palace test, Ulrich, who suddenly broke out with the strength of a fifth-level great knight, successfully defeated Beckman, an official knight with many items, thus establishing the identity of the heir.
The rest of the marquises and earls of the Plantagenet family looked at the old duke with the same strange expression, and they even suspected that Beckman's untimely death was the work of the old duke.
Borak, who couldn't stimulate the power of his bloodline, was naturally not valued by him, but now, how would he treat a calm, confident and powerful Bollack?
Duke Plantagenet Ulrich said with the indifferent attitude of his superiors: "Although I don't like people who rely on items to achieve the final victory, the winner is the winner, and he will not be condemned in any way, and he will get everything he deserves."
His disgust and contempt for his fair and impartial attitude are evident.
"This is really great." Nuremberg smiled meaningfully, he had a certain suspicion of any high-sounding and righteous words, especially the speaker, Duke Ulrich, who had controlled the family for nearly forty years.
There is no shortage of enemies within the Holy Helz Empire who are eyeing the Plantagenet family, not to mention the ambitious and inscrutable emperor Majesty, who can make the family through ups and downs and grow and develop, and Ulrich's ability is beyond doubt.
Imperial Emperor Rudolf II, the only terrifying figure after the first few ancestors of the Divine Family who was able to ascend to the legendary realm on the throne of the emperor, gave himself a rather strange title: "The Creation of the New Law".
Lucian couldn't join the conversation of several big people in front of the strange stone gate, and after getting their nods greeting, he stood with Claire, Ralph and others who had already arrived.
Claire and Ralph both pretended to be cold and hostile to Lucian, and did not say a word, and the scene was quite awkward and silent.
Within a few minutes, Alten, who was still wearing his gorgeous military uniform, walked in with Jocelyn, Duda and other aristocratic friends, and nodded politely to Lucian and the others confidently and elegantly.
"You want to go in too?" Nuremberg saw that Jocelyn, Duda and other noble children were all fully armed, and asked confirmingly.
Duda, wrapped in black armor, was like a steel can, and his voice came from inside the mask: "Yes, Lord Count, I am only close to becoming a full-fledged knight, and my father hopes that I can pass this test of the underground palace to fully stimulate my potential. And I believe that the magic circle of the Plantagenet family's underground palace can teleport us out in time, at most seriously injured and not die."
The more he was afraid, the more emphasized he became, and Duda "perfectly" revealed his worries.
"Don't worry, in addition to the protection of the magic circle, His Excellency the 'Crown of Glory' Middalen is also guarding in the underground palace, and the scene will not get out of control." Nuremberg had a good relationship with Duda's father, Count Porti, and smiled to soothe his hidden nervousness, but did not mean that there was also a hidden protective force in the underground palace to prevent someone from dying accidentally.
Hearing Nurembeck's words, Lucian closed his eyes to hide his suddenly solemn gaze, the 'Crown of Glory' Midalen was still in the underground palace? Things seemed to be a bit troublesome and twisted.
Middalen is one of the two golden knights of the Plantagenet family, and because he is almost three hundred years old, he is much older than Nuremberg and others, so he is honored as His Excellency.
"With His Excellency the Crown of Glory in the palace, we are completely relieved." Duda nodded on behalf of his many noble friends.
Although many of the noble children who followed Alten had the strength of official knights and were inspired by themselves, compared with the nobles in the Dark Mountains and the Principality of Waorit, which was at the forefront of the battle of the Shahran Empire, they lacked practical practice.
At this time, they are about to face a real battle that can seriously injure or disable themselves, and they are inevitably full of tension.
Jocelyn, who was next to Duda, saw Nuremberg shift her gaze and showed a gentle smile: "Lord Count, I am already an official knight, and I want to fight with my fiancé."
The rose-colored close-fitting chain mail showed off her beautiful figure with concave and convex shapes, causing many noble children behind Alten to peek at her from time to time.
Hearing Jocelyn's words, Arten suddenly smiled, full of a strong taste of happiness, and Duda and other noble children focused their eyes on Lucian, wanting to see how disheartened he would be, what kind of jealousy and pain or what kind of angry impulse he would be.
Lucian just smiled at their performance, as if he were watching a sleepy opera.
Such a reaction made Duda and Arten very disappointed, and a noble young man named Andris couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Boraq, you are really a lady!"
There is no blood and impulsiveness that a man should have!
Looking at the brown-haired and blue-eyed young man, Lucian said with the attitude that Bollack should have: "I hope you don't kneel in front of me and beg for mercy later."
"Hmph, what do guys without knightly strength rely on to fight? Extraordinary objects?" Andris deliberately provoked Bolak, and his gaze moved down to the storage bag hanging from his belt, which contained the goodies left by his father?
"I can guarantee that you definitely don't want to see them." Lucian put the crown ring, the Sun Crown Amulet, etc. in the storage bag, and covered it with ogre power gloves, frost long sword, dodge boots, etc. - the underground palace trial does not prohibit the carrying of extraordinary items, after all, there is basically no way to use high-level and above things without high-level things, and there will be no accidents.
Just when Andris couldn't stand Lucian's attitude, a bunch of people poured in from the basement entrance again, and Deni with a ponytail walked in front.
"Hi, dear Boraq, I'm here to help you." Denis greeted without any scruples, but everyone's attention was not on him, but on the pure and beautiful blonde girl behind him, the only daughter of Rudolf II, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia!
"Sophia, are you here too?" Duke Plantagenet Ulrich frowned slightly.
Sophia smiled clearly and purely, and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Yes, Uncle Ulrich, I want to try the legendary Plantagenet Family Trial. And I am a fifth-level warlock, and even without the protection of Ms. Manina, my strength is one of the strongest among the young people present."
"But......" All the high-ranking officials of the Plantagenet family hesitated, if she died unexpectedly inside, how would His Majesty the terrifying emperor react?
"Uncle Ulrich, let me in, I will definitely guarantee my safety!" Sophia blinked her eyes delicately and quietly pointed to her chest, saying that in addition to her strength, she had other means of saving her life, "There have been royal members in the past, and I have obtained my father's consent."
The last member of the royal family to participate in the Tryinganase was Rudolf II himself, when he was still His Royal Highness the Prince.
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's consent, Ulrich said with a slightly gloomy face: "Then you must be careful."
Wow! Sophia let out a cheering sound, walked to Lucian's side with Denis, pulled the battle skirt of her female milky white armor, and smiled and saluted like a skirt: "Please take care of me, Mr. Pollack."
With a smile like a flower and her eyes rolling, she is like a bright tulip that attracts countless bees and butterflies, making it impossible to take your eyes off.
"I will do my best to protect you, Your Highness, even if I lose my life because of this." Lucian replied with an operatic exaggerated aria, his heart full of doubts, why did Sophia enter the underground palace? Is there any secret hidden inside? Or is she simply trying to help "Pollack" become the heir to the Plantagenet family?
Will there be other changes in the smooth process of beating children by yourself?
Jealousy, vigilance, and hatred emanated from the noble children on the Alten side as if they were about to pierce Lucian's body, their faces were very gloomy, why would Her Royal Highness take a fancy to this trash? She is a level five bloodline warlock!
At present, it seems that with the strong support of Her Royal Highness the Princess, coupled with the princess's "good sister" Denis, Bollack may win very well!
The situation seems to have changed drastically!
Suddenly, a thick voice came from the basement door: "Uncle Ulrich, I want to participate too."
Countless eyes looked at the door in astonishment, only to see a tall blonde man striding in, his facial features were exquisite but not soft, calm and highlighted with a tough momentum.
Lucian, who guessed his identity from his somewhat similar appearance to Sophia, was even more puzzled, what was so strange about this trial of the Plantagenet family? Why did he come too?
"Your Highness, you?" Alten and Claire blurted out.
This young man in simple silver-gray armor is the crown prince and first heir of the Holy Helz Empire, Prince Steinburg, and Prince Bayer!
A genius knight who is about to break through to the rank of the Heavenly Knight!
