Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 7 Gain and Temptation

Breathing the pale red blood mist around him, Lucian's hands and feet were soft, his head twitched and swelled, and the scene of the fight between Correa and Hausen in the eyes became Correa and the giant mouse, and then back again. When the two killed each other, it was like illusion and reality superimposed.

"Wait, illusion ?!" Lucian thought of this, and had a rough guess in her heart, focusing on it, letting the feeling that the spirit spread like a tide appeared, so the scene no longer changed, the red mist no longer twisted, everything They all stabilized, and it was indeed Correa and Hausen who killed each other in their life and death. Many wounds on their bodies shed blood. Their respective movements looked very slow and strenuous. It seemed to have reached a limit.

"Is the blood of the red-eyed mouse itself a hallucinogenic effect, or is the blood hallucinated by the absorption and transformation of the strange plant? What a clever magic trap."

Lucien finally understood that whether Johnson ’s disappearance or Gary ’s sudden attack was due to the effects of hallucinations, and this effect is likely to start from killing the first red-eyed mouse to completely blind the senses, it is already difficult to distinguish Then, only Lucien was able to get rid of the illusion because he was protected by the Light Shield and his spirit had improved.

The "Light Strike" shot from the holy symbol of truth not only vaporized Gary's right hand and part of his shoulders, but also penetrated upwards, directly hitting the top of the stone directly above the secret room, and a deep, deep hole was made. If the rain falls, it seems that the entire chamber will collapse at any time.

The gravel and dust were scattered, and the red blood mist was washed away, so that Lucien's hands and feet were recovered.

Lucien didn't know if there were any other magic traps in the back, so even if he was temporarily safe, he didn't dare to relax in any way and think quickly.

The "Sacred Symbol of Truth" can no longer excite any divine art except two light spells. It has no maximum reliance on it, and even its own physical power becomes very weak due to the paralysis effect contained in the pale red mist.

Suddenly, Lucien saw that strange plant was shattered among the rubble falling down.

"In addition to creating hallucinations, it has no other ability to protect itself?" Lucien immediately awakened and stood up with his weak hands and feet, walking towards the strange plant.

Feeling weak and staggering, Lucien walked very slowly. She fell into the gravel several times and was scratched all over with bruises, pain and unbearable pain, and even a few berths shed blood.

"Bah." Lucien took a breath and held back the pain. With the temporary sobriety and strength recovered from the pain of the wound, he walked hard to the strange plant.

After this series of encounters, Lucien's adolescence and hesitation were much less, without delay, holding her breath, holding out her right hand cautiously but firmly, and holding it on the trunk of the strange plant.

The meridians under the hands were beating, the stream-like blood was running, and Lucian felt that she was not holding a plant, but a living creature, and then yanked aside.

"what!"

All branches and leaves of this strange plant shrank at once, making a sharp and screaming scream, like a dying person.

Without breaking, Lucien continued to work hard, and the strange plant screamed screamingly, and at the same time extended its branches and leaves to wrap around Lucien.

The wet, greasy and disgusting sensations came from the skin. Numerous small burrs were piercing into his body. Lucian forcibly resisted the fear and fear, and pulled it again.

"Woo ..."

The crying stopped abruptly, Lucien was sprayed on the chest by the light red liquid in the plant, and the bloody smell came, which made Lucien's hands and feet softer, and she could only lean against the stone wall next to it, so as to avoid falling to the ground .

As the plant was torn in two by Lucien, the pale red mist in the surrounding air became thicker and almost condensed into a liquid.

The three shimmering books on the nearby desk quickly eroded as soon as they sensed this rich, pale red mist. From the first page to the last page, it took only two or three seconds to completely It disappeared, so fast that Lucien, who was nearby, could not see clearly what was written on it.

Of course, the current paralysis of Lucien is definitely too late to stop, and it is even difficult to take a step.

The desk immediately became empty, but strangely, except for the places where the three books were located, there was no trace of corrosion. After Lucien briefly wondered, he wanted to understand the key point: "It seems to be another magic. Trap, when the concentration of the red mist reaches a certain level, the magic traps in the few magic notes will start on their own, destroying themselves, so as not to be obtained by the enemy. "

"Unfortunately these few magic notes." Lucian sighed regretfully in her heart, but that is a magic note that can learn extraordinary power!

Suddenly, Lucien froze, and he found the library in his soul glowing strangely.

With curiosity, Lucien dived into the spirit, and then his eyes widened to see that a brand new bookshelf appeared in the library, with the words "magic (arcology)" written on it, and on the bookshelf, already With three books, it is the three magic notes that Lucien saw just now.

"Does this library still have the ability to collect books? But how did the content come from?" Lucien was very surprised. "Or I need to see the content with my own eyes, um, although these three books have been corroded very quickly, But if you slow down the whole process, it should still be corroded page by page. It is strange that the library can write down the content from beginning to end, so there are projections of these three books, otherwise it is impossible to fabricate the content out of thin air. "

Lucien can only guess at the moment, and he has to wait for several experiments with other books before he can be sure.

Looking at these three magical notes, Lucian, who was just sorry for it, hesitated: "If you learn magic, in a world where the magic is powerful and you can openly burn the magician, will it be too dangerous?"

Unable to make a decision, Lucien put it down temporarily. After all, he and others were still in the Chamber of Secrets and had not been completely out of danger, so Lucien began to accumulate strength.

Without the strange plants, the pale red blood mist became weaker and weaker. Correa and Hausen gradually got rid of the illusion and looked at each other in shock, but they were awake much later, and both of them were on the verge of dying.

…………

Benjamin on the ground snorted while Lucien touched the "Holy Symbol of Truth" with his spirit and excited the "Light Strike", put down his right hand, and looked at the secret road in consternation.

"Master Benjamin?" Guard Paul asked in a hurry when he saw Benjamin's strange performance.

Under the shine of Yinyue, Benjamin's face became very bad, he whispered: "There is a change below, my spiritual imprint in the holy symbol was touched, damn, just a magic apprentice, got this To the point, it ’s really useless! Paul, you are waiting for me here. If I do n’t come out in five minutes, you will ask the bishop for help. "

It is precisely because of the existence of the spiritual imprint in the holy symbol that Benjamin assuredly handed the holy symbol of truth to Lucien for use, otherwise even the holy symbol such as the allocated standard magical wonders compared to Benjamin ’s own strength and other His magical wonders are much weaker, and he will not be handed over to others casually. Who knows that his spiritual imprint has been touched, and he failed to stop the unbelievable stimulation of the magic at the critical moment.

Carelessness and carelessness have always been companions of arrogance and prejudice.

In Benjamin ’s mind, knights who rely on blood and physical strength have always been deeply biased, thinking that they are crude and cheap, and they are not comparable to noble casters who explore the mysteries of the world, even if the other party is an evil magician. Therefore, they were not worthy of using magical wonders, so he subconsciously handed the Holy Symbol of Truth to Lucien, who had a higher spiritual strength than ordinary people.

Such an attitude comes from Benjamin's background and from his long experience.

The Lafati family, one of the most powerful families in the Principality of Vaorite, although also relying on the power of blood "spiritual grace", but unlike the knights, they rely on blood power to cast spells, which is true The caster, and Benjamin as a member of the Lafati family, even if the blood is thin and cannot stimulate his own strength, he can emerge after he entered the monastery to learn from his childhood, smoothly become a priest, and firmly follow the path of the caster. .

But now, as a formal pastor, such a small thing has made a big omission, and its status within the church will inevitably be affected in the future, so Benjamin hurried down.

Paul was equally surprised: "With the holy symbol of truth, there will be changes? Could there be other formal magicians?"

…………

Lucien's strength recovered a bit, and when he was about to walk outside the secret room against the stone wall, he suddenly heard a footstep, and suddenly his heart was lifted, and his spirit was tense, if the witch was left. The magic creature or her friend is afraid that it is difficult to escape.

When he saw Benjamin's white holy robe, Lucian was half relieved, but she still didn't dare to relax. What a secret place to kill and kill.

"Lapland blood vine?" Benjamin glanced at the situation in the dense room. From the learned magic knowledge and plant knowledge, he quickly judged the approximate process. He understood that Lucien, who was slowly moving against the wall, was on the verge of dying. Why did Gary and others fall to this end, "Fortunately none of them died."

"This kid has good luck, and his mental strength has increased a bit, reaching the level of a low-level priest. It seems that the impact of the breakthrough touched my spiritual imprint. Unfortunately, it is not the strong church more than three hundred years ago. , The age where you can learn divine art by virtue of talent, without the basics of childhood, systematic knowledge of divine art, you can never become a formal priest. You have to say that it is indeed the 'Arcane Emperor' who opened The golden age of four hundred years of rapid development of magic and magic. "

As a member of the Lafati family, Benjamin knows more about the world situation than most pastors. It seems that his belief in himself is not so religious. To be precise, Benjamin as a member of the nobility and as a member of the church Benjamin is contradictory in his position.

More importantly, after the "Supreme Theological Conference" more than three hundred years ago, the church split, one north and one south, accusing each other of being heretics, but even so, no matter which side, the acquisition of divine art has not been affected in any way. This makes many bishops and cardinals silently doubt in their hearts whether God exists or not. This is a test for believers.

This attitude directly affects every young man who has been a pastor for hundreds of years, including Benjamin.

Moreover, in order to adapt to the era of rapid development, several popes have introduced some of the knowledge gained by the Arcanists to explore the world to transform the theological basis. Although the same has allowed the rapid development of the magic, the strong have come out in large numbers, making the Southern Church maintain the greatest power. The position will not stand under the gaze of many powerful enemies such as heretics, evil magicians, dark creatures, etc., but it has once again caused more cracks in the already unstable internal beliefs.

Benjamin relaxed in his mood, with thin white dust falling in his hands, a weird syllable in his mouth, and a gust of wind blew past the pale red blood mist.

Then he did not read the mantra, nor cast the casting materials, just pointed at Gary, and a pale white light fell on him, letting the burnt black off his body, the wound healed, got rid of the dying, and became ordinary Seriously injured.

Every time between one and two seconds of healing magic, Benjamin rescued Correa and Johnson, and healed Lucien's injury.

Asked about the passing of Lucien, Correa, Hausen, Gary and others, Benjamin looked at the desk to make sure they were not lying, and instructed: "Move all the items in the chamber to the church, um, including The bodies of these mice. "

At the same time, he took the holy emblem that Lucien returned: "The sins of your body have been washed away, go back to rest, and may the Lord bless you."

Originally, if Lucien succeeded this time, Benjamin would not be stingy with monetary rewards, and even if there was a chance, he would secretly try whether he could be nurtured, but it was so dangerous that Benjamin naturally had no mood to encourage Lucien, After confirming that there was nothing hidden in him, he was sent away early. After all, Correa and Hausen were okay. Without Gary in his right hand, it was more troublesome. The regeneration of broken limbs is not a magic skill he can master.

Seeing that Benjamin didn't kill or kill her, Lucian had no intention of staying here. She hurriedly walked outside the chamber. When she went to the sewer outside, Lucien, who broke a certain line, suddenly heard Correa's sentence inside. Words, this made Lucian feel a little heavy, he whispered to Howson: "Gary has no right hand, I'm afraid he can't be a knight, and he will be asked to leave the guard."

Lucian, who didn't know what her mood was, walked out of the secret way and immediately greeted the surrounding poor.

"Little Evans, have you purified the ghosts?" Aunt Eliza asked from a distance.

Lucian nodded: "It has been purified by Lord Benjamin and several guards."

Everyone became relaxed, and began to eagerly ask and communicate: "Lucien, what does a ghost look like? Isn't it terrible?"

"Master Benjamin deserves to be a formal pastor."

"Lucien seems to have been blessed by the Lord this time, even using the holy symbol of truth."

"Unfortunately Lucien, he is no longer a child and cannot be sent to the monastery for training, otherwise we will be a glorious thing for an adult Lucien out of our district."

Hearing these comments, Lucian slightly trance: "I can't be a pastor?"

Although Lucien didn't want to become a priest because of his identity as a traversal, he had experienced the extraordinary power of magic, and was told that he couldn't take this path, which was inevitable.

"Poor little Evans, look at your face, it must be exhausted, hurry back to rest." Aunt Eliza saw Lucien's face was not good, and quickly opened her mouth.

Lucien had a lot of thoughts and really needed to be quiet, so he nodded and went back to his hut, sitting by the bed, listening to Benjamin and others coming out and going away, listening to the poor people leaving, watching the restoring peace late at night Quiet, pressed the thoughts of parents and so on deep in my heart.

"I can't be a priest, and it seems that because I didn't train since I was young, I don't have much hope to become a knight, to stimulate blood power."

"If you want to gain extraordinary power, I am afraid you have to learn magic."

"However, once you choose magic, you must be an enemy to the church, and to most ordinary people, including Aunt Aliza."

"Maybe there are other paths?"

"Anyway, the magic note is in my mind, take a look first and then say, um, this should be no problem."

Lucian, hesitant and struggling, decided to take a look at the magic note first, so she entered the library and opened the magic note.

After a long time, Lucien's low, crying laughter sounded in the room:

"What if I don't read?"
