"You, did you kill him?" Sophia's crisp and charming voice trembled obviously, revealing strong astonishment and panic, this was probably the first time she had seen a familiar noble young man killed alive in front of her, with ferocious wounds, blood flowing, and staring eyes, as if she had never expected that she would die under Duda's sword, shouldn't she be teleported by the magic circle after being seriously injured?
Lucian was used to seeing dead people, and the intelligent creatures he killed with his own hands were not one or two, at this time he was not panicked, nauseous, or subjected to a huge impact, but he couldn't bear to look directly up, looking at the dome of the underground palace, the strange change in the magic circle just now erased the effect of dying teleportation?
Is this an instinctive change in the underground palace after being stimulated by something, or is it deliberately done by someone? If there is an intentional change, what is the purpose of the conspirators behind the scenes? After such changes, could the Duke of Plantagenet, Count Nuremberg, and others outside not be able to observe every move in the underground palace?
If this is the case, it may be good news for me, I can show my strength without reservation, and let all the children's conspiracies disappear.
In the face of absolute suppression, it only takes a short time for him to arrive at the secret room, open the secret passage, enter the inner layer of the palace of Sun King Thanos, and perform a magical ceremony.
But the question is, what about the golden knight in the underground palace? What about the "Crown of Glory" Middalen? This is the most critical reason why Lucian chose to walk with Sophia instead of going straight into the secret room!
Duda propped his hands on the ground and hurriedly retreated despite the blood on the ground: "I, I didn't, I didn't want to kill him, I, I just planned to defeat him and seriously injure him, but he, actually, actually stood there stupidly, refusing to teleport away, he refused to teleport away! It's not my fault, it's all his fault! It's not my fault!"
He screamed intermittently, stuttering and hysterically, his eyes were blank, and he kept shaking his head, looking like he was crazy.
Post-traumatic stress disorder, for some reason, Lucian suddenly appeared in his mind. Duda seemed to be killing someone for the first time, and he killed a familiar aristocratic child without any psychological preparation.
"Calm down, Duda, calm down, it's not your fault, it's the magic circle in the underground palace that is wrong." Lucian has recently focused on "illusion", and after frequently using the transformation mask, he is worried that he will have psychological problems, so he has been making up for "Behavioral Psychology" and other related books.
The gentle sound like a warm wind seemed to relieve the tension and panic of Sophia next to her, and she glanced at "Borak" with a little doubt and surprise, as if she didn't expect him to be so calm in the face of death and the shocking changes in the underground palace, making the people around him involuntarily calm down.
All kinds of emotions flashed in an instant, and Sophia spoke softly to help enlighten Duda: "Yes, this has nothing to do with you, there is something wrong with the magic circle."
"Yes, it's not my fault! It's a problem with the magic circle!" Hearing Lucian's explanation, Duda was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, extremely crazy.
After a few more comforting words, seeing that Duda's mood had stabilized a little, Lucian took out his pocket watch and looked at it: "Can you tell us what happened just now?"
Eager to get rid of her guilt, Duda recounted what had happened before intermittently as if she were recalling a nightmare.
After he entered the underground palace, he appeared in a nearby bedroom, and then moved forward to the depths of the palace according to the layout changes prompted by the map, trying to meet with Alten and the others.
The first time he fought without fancy, without a mentor, without help, Duda became more and more excited, and fully exerted the beastly nature and combat talent contained in his body, and after a hearty fight, Ge flew the opponent's long sword, stepped forward, and slashed at the opponent's neck without scruples, anyway, he would be teleported out by the magic circle after he was seriously injured, and there were several heavenly knights outside, and there was no shortage of healing potions.
However, the touch under the long sword did not disappear, and the blood that spewed out splattered Duda's head and face, and the bastard who usually hated him very much stared at him with an unbelievable, frightened and desperate gaze, and then softened to the ground with this kind of gaze.
The pair of desperate grays without the slightest anger were deeply engraved in Duda's mind, making him frightened when he thought about it.
After listening to Duda's account and verifying the time node, Lucian confirmed that it was the moment when he sensed the change in the magic circle.
"In terms of scope, it is the period when you feel that someone is following us." Sophia also remembered the previous anomaly of "Borak", pulled him aside and talked in a low voice, so as not to be overheard by Duda.
Lucian was not afraid of the wind and flashed his tongue and said: "After I awakened the Silver Moon bloodline, my premonition of danger became stronger and stronger. Maybe the star-like bloodline has this characteristic, after all, it is related to the stars."
Sophia had no doubts about this explanation, and said pitifully: "I didn't expect to come in and try and there would be such a change, Borac, who do you think will do it? Is there any conspiracy?"
The turquoise eyes glowed with a layer of water mist, Miaoman's body trembled slightly like the wind, her face was slightly pale when she could be bounced, and her pink lips were biting tightly.
Lucian replied coldly in his heart, because Sophia was by his side at the time, and it was impossible to hide from him that he used special items, magic or rituals to affect the operation of the underground palace.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will protect you with my life." Lucian pretended to be fascinated, stretched out his left hand "couldn't help but can't help it", and patted Sophia's slender shoulder with a slight hesitation.
Sophia gave a soft gesture, showing her charm and weakness, followed Lucian's comfort, hugged his left hand, leaned on him, and the faint fragrance was intoxicating: "I am a warlock, and I need a determined knight to help me stand in front of me in order to exert my full strength. We support each other, we will definitely be able to smash all the conspiracies and make you the Count of Goldeneye, when the time comes, ......."
"I will trample all the conspiracies under my feet!" Like all men who were dizzy with tenderness and blood, Lucian said unusually "heroically and confidently", as if he felt that there was no more difficulty in the world that could stop him, and even his right hand, which was holding the "Frost" long sword, hung down and put it on his waist.
After more than ten seconds, Sophia suddenly stood up straight as if she had woken up, blushing and extremely shy, and took a few steps back, Lucian's right hand also quietly left from her waist, revealing the storage bag below, and the Holm crown ring "electron" slipped in.
"There are only two people who can do this kind of trick, my brother or Alten! One is the future emperor, the other is the one who is most likely to become the Duke of Plantagenet, and only they can cooperate with the 'Crown of Glory' guarding the underground palace, after all, His Excellency Middalon is nearing the end of his life and needs to provide care for his immediate descendants for a long time to come."
Sophia restrained her shyness and analyzed solemnly, "And their target is undoubtedly me and you. My father dotes on me very much, and the Empire has not had an empress, and the first heir to the Plantagenet family has died several times before ascending the duke's throne. I just said why did my brother suddenly come to participate in the plantagenet trial!"
"His Excellency the 'Crown of Glory' is also cooperating with them? So what should we do? Aren't they afraid of being investigated by the angry emperor afterwards?" Lucian was "panicked" and "incredulous" again.
"Since they have done this, they must have already figured out how to deal with the aftermath, maybe Uncle Ulrich is also their ally! In this way, the blame can be planted on us who died, saying that we conspired against evil first, and then we were defeated and killed under their desperate counterattack." Sophia said with a gloomy face, "As for His Excellency Midalen, although he is a golden knight, his body has begun to fail, as long as we arrive at the secret room first, there is still hope."
"Hope?" Lucian asked "very confused".
Sophia's voice was low: "There is also a secret passage in the secret room that leads to the inner layer of the palace, where you can find high-end scrolls that can control powerful magic circles, which is our only hope to save our lives. This secret is not known to anyone in the Plantagenet family, or was it discovered by chance when my father participated in the trial when he was young, and he only told me."
After saying that, she raised her head and said solemnly, seriously and pitifully: "Borac, will you fight with me to the end and pursue that glimmer of hope?"
"I will always be a knight of Her Royal Highness, never back down, never give up." Lucian replied "affectionately".
Sophia's eyes fogged up again, and she waved her fist and said, "Then let's rush to the secret room immediately! We can't wait for Uncle Ulrich and Uncle Nuremberg outside to find out the abnormality and forcibly break the magic circle to come in and rescue us."
"The only thing we can rely on is ourselves and each other!"
After the incendiary words, Sophia was satisfied to see Lucian's expression become extremely excited, and then turned her head and ordered Duda to let him, who had no knightly strength, find a no-man's corner to hide and wait for the matter to end.
The moment she turned her head, Lucian's excited and distorted face showed a smiling expression, and she really knew the existence of the inner layer of the palace! What exactly do you want to do? What do you get? Also, little girl, the transition from "Lin Daiyu" to "Wu Zetian" is too abrupt, and she still needs to practice more, and now she can only deceive those hot-blooded young people who are stunned by you.
But, why did she have to pull Bollack?
