Chapter 414 Someone You Can Trust (Ask for a Monthly Pass in the Second Watch)
The ancient castle, which seems to be forever shrouded in darkness, towers on the edge of the cliff, bathed in the cold moonlight, lonely and vicissitudes, and is independent.
Lucian had transformed into a werewolf with dark fur, lurking in the primeval forest beneath the cliffs, looking closely at the Observer's Castle, where the spire seemed to protrude into the silver moon, and in the surrounding forest, in the cliffs, there were many dark creatures hiding, all staring at the castle with slightly scorching eyes.
It can be imagined that some of the greedy dark powerhouses have already tried to sneak into this seemingly ownerless castle and die, while the rest are like wolves waiting for their prey, wandering far away, often wandering, patiently waiting for the opportunity to appear.
With their background, Lucian was relieved and no longer worried that his snooping was an independent act, as eye-catching as a light in the dark. The reason why he did not rashly enter the Observer Castle was because he suspected that Prince Dracula would pay close attention to this place. As the most powerful vampire, he has enough ability to create simulacrums, projections, and other things to monitor the key points, and once he finds Rhine, he will come in person.
And where will his body be? Lucian reluctantly thought that if it were him, he would most likely choose the Observer Castle, after all, Rhine had disappeared in the southern desert of the Gusta Empire, and there was no record of him entering the "Night Plateau".
As for Prince Dracula's patience, Lucian had no doubt that the most important thing that a legendary powerhouse who had lived for an unknown number of years was patience.
"We have to find a way......
The blue-black werewolf formed by Lucian slowly retreated from the forest under the cliff. Directly betting on the odds that Prince Dracula is not here, risking an ungraspable risk to break in, is not your own style of doing things.
Fortunately, it took far less time to complete the activation of the magic circle in the first three places than expected, Lucian had plenty of time to plan, and the last step needed to choose the brightest night of the silver moon, even if he was in a hurry, he had to wait until eight days later.
It wasn't until he left the Observer Castle that Lucian stopped his lurking figure, his brain spinning rapidly, and he made the final scrutiny of the plan he had thought of in the past few days.
"If there is someone who is completely trustworthy and willing to help me without knowing the secrets of things, the chances of success will increase a lot......" Lucian's mind flashed through his mind, but he hesitated, "This will put her in danger."
Stepping on the rotten and soft soil, Lucian paced back and forth, unable to make up his mind for a long time.
"What will she say?"
When his thoughts were arguing, Lucian looked at a big knotted tree in front of him and thought of it as Natasha, imagining how Natasha would answer.
The heroic woman in milky white armor will definitely reply with a smile: "Okay, that's it, but you have to make a piece of music for me as a gift."
Simple, crisp, neat, without asking a single extra word.
If she chooses not to drag anyone down, completes the entire step by herself, and is known by her, she will definitely say with a smile: "Although the last person in the world can rely on is yourself, not everything can be done independently, and those who do not cherish their lives will never live long. I think I am still a brave knight to trust, maybe you don't regard me as a true friend?"
Taking a deep breath, Lucian deformed and took out a monocle to put on, inspiring "Fernando's electromagnetic messaging."
The chaotic sound of electricity was set against the quiet and deep background of this dark forest, allowing Lucian to hear it extremely clearly, and time passed minute by minute as the sound continued.
"It's early in the morning, Natasha may have taken off her earrings and slept...... Try again in the morning." About two minutes later, seeing that no one responded, Lucian was about to end the electromagnetic transmission.
At this time, the chaotic sound of electricity suddenly disappeared, and the deliberately suppressed Qingyue atmospheric female voice sounded: "Lucian?"
"Well, it's me." Hearing this familiar voice, Lucian's mood calmed down.
Natasha said amused and slightly happy: "Are you near the Principality of Vaorit again? I just finished reading the letter you sent me at the end of June yesterday, and I didn't expect to receive your communication technique today. I was really shocked just now, and I finally hid in the garden from Aunt Camille."
There was an illusion that he was secretly calling behind his parents' backs, and Lucian smiled and said, "I'm in the dark mountains."
"Hey, I'm in trouble and need the help of a brave and upright knight like me?" Natasha laughed lowly.
Lucian's tone became solemn: "There is something that needs your help, but it can be dangerous."
Natasha snorted and said bluntly: "Your location, I'll rush over right away, that's it."
A faint tacit understanding and warmth rippled in Lucian's heart, and his voice became soft: "You can take Aunt Camille with you, but you have to hide what you need to do from her."
Lucian knew very well that as the Countess of Violet and the heir to the Duchy of Valriet, Natasha was burdened with the family affection of the Grand Duke and the expectations of loyalty to the nobility. Since he didn't plan to tell her the secret behind the matter, letting her take Camille was a sign of respect and understanding for her.
"I was just about to ask if you could tell Aunt Camille." Natasha's laughter was also soft, "Okay, tell me the location and surrounding features."
"No, we move at the same time and meet at the foot of Skahn Peak in the Dark Mountains." Lucian chose a place with obvious characteristics, and from Alto to Skaen Peak, he would not encounter too strong dark creatures along the way.
…………
It didn't take long to fly from Alto to the edge of the dark mountains, but once they entered the mountains, under the threat of many hidden dark creatures, their speed would slow down a lot, and sometimes they would even have to fall into the forest and run lurking. If you swagger and fly without care, the Heavenly Knights and Golden Knights who fell in the Dark Mountains are the best examples.
Two days later, Lucian, wearing a monocle, paced back and forth a little anxiously, and the silver moon shone on the smooth rock wall of Skaen Mountain, reflecting a cold and dreamy brilliance.
"Why hasn't Natasha arrived yet? Electromagnetic messaging can't connect ......."
Although the route he chose was not very dangerous to Natasha, and there were strange areas that Rhine pointed out to avoid, but he couldn't see her when he was supposed to arrive, Lucian was inevitably a little worried.
Suddenly, under the light of the silver moon, two figures, one purple and one black, rushed out of the primeval forest.
Phew, Lucian exhaled and greeted him with a smile.
Two figures stopped at the foot of the mountain, it was Natasha and Camille, both of them were wearing full body armor, and they were not careless about the danger of the dark mountains.
However, Natasha is no longer wearing the milky white one, but the dark purple "Violet Guardian Armor", holding a small and delicate black shield with a deep sacred aura in her left hand, with her clear silver-purple eyes, dreamy purple long hair, beautiful but resolute face, really heroic "female god of war" appearance.
"Shield of truth?" Lucian was still hesitating how to say hello after a long absence, but he didn't expect to ask questions casually as if they had only met yesterday.
Camille glanced at Lucian deeply, her eyes were indifferent, making it difficult to guess what she was thinking, and then left the two of them, guarding against them from a distance, not eavesdropping on the conversation.
Natasha raised the dark black divine shield: "It's just a copy, I can't hold the true shield of truth yet. Hey, my knight, do you need any help?"
No nonsense, she went straight to the point.
Lucian took out the clown-like shapeshifting mask: "You take it, put it on a knight-level death row inmate when the silver moon is at its brightest six days later, and then make him look like Mr. Rhine Pass through Hazes Castle in the northern province of Tiran, and let the owner of the castle notice, remember, you must not transform and disguise yourself."
"Well, this is to help me lure away Prince Dracula of the vampire clan, so you have to seize the opportunity to leave and not control that knight all the time. Find a time to knock him unconscious, disguise it as sleep, and retreat quickly."
At least let Natasha know who the enemy she is about to face is and how terrifying it is.
"Mr. Rhein turns out to be a strong member of the vampire clan, no wonder ......" Natasha was keenly aware of this, and then she rubbed her smooth and white chin and slightly stiff, "In this case, Prince Dracula will soon find out that something is wrong, do you have enough time? Otherwise, simply turn the diversion into an ambush, my teacher 'Divine Radiance', the 'Chaos Serpent' of the Principality, and His Excellency Cardinal Salde must be very interested in encircling and suppressing the vampire prince, which will buy you enough time, and Cardinal Salde can invite two saints to help."
Without asking about the secret behind the matter, she began to look for a better way, and to deal with this legendary peak being, two saints, a Holy Spirit priest, and two epic knights were sure to succeed.
"No, Cardinal Salde has a big problem and can't go to him. Without saints, without the Holy Spirit Priest, relying on the two epic knights alone, they are definitely no match for Prince Dracula, and will even fall directly." Lucian shook his head, not hiding Natasha, "Although the time is a little tight, it is enough, I will not joke with my life."
"Cardinal Salde has a problem...... At that time, something really happened in Aalto City." Natasha didn't doubt Lucian's statement, and smiled a little solemnly, "I believe you cherish your life very much, you have just won so many awards, and you have become a genius arcanist who is the first person below the legend of the purification sequence, and you must be full of expectations and yearning for your future life."
She didn't say anything more and chose to trust Lucian's judgment.
"Yes." Lucian looked at her with a complicated smile, but she didn't have any expected reaction, "Hey, this kind of thing is much faster than my letter."
"Hey, but I still like to read your letters." As for the miracle experiment, it has been so long since she got used to it, and even faintly felt proud, and then she asked with a smile, "You chose the vampire castle in Tiran Province because it is very close to the northern fortress? Even if Prince Dracula discovers me, I am very sure to hide in the fortress."
"Also because the owner of Hazes Castle is only a middle-level ......" Lucian did not answer directly.
Natasha's smile faintly became bright, and then she looked up at Yinyue: "Don't delay time, I'll go back and arrange things first, be careful."
"Okay." Lucian is also a decisive and determined person.
When she took the transformation mask and left her breath, Natasha was stunned: "You have already been promoted to a high level?"
If you are not high-end, you can't use this mask at all.
"Well, I paid some price to be promoted early." Lucian replied honestly.
Natasha glanced at Lucian with both joy and concern, and said unabashedly: "It's really unimaginable, you are already on the same level as me, Lucian, you are indeed right to choose the path of magic, but you must not be too eager. Well, I have to improve as soon as possible, as soon as possible, and I can't be surpassed by you."
After saying that, she turned around and flew towards Camille, and halfway through, she suddenly turned around and smiled: "Lucian, you're not doing anything bad this time, are you?"
"Of course, I'm saving the world." Lucian replied half-jokingly.
Natasha immediately laughed, didn't ask any more questions, and left with Camille.
…………
A few days later, confirming that Natasha had made arrangements, Lucian returned to the vicinity of the Observer's Castle, and when the brightest night of the silver moon was approaching, he dived into the primeval forest under the cliff again.
Not far from the top ten, the pursuers behind are ruthless, and the second one is sent, asking for a monthly pass!
