Throne of Magical Arcana

At ten o'clock on the night of June 3.

When the whole city is still immersed in the unprecedented grandeur of the "Return Concert", when people are still reveling in the classic greatness of the two symphonies "Since the New Kingdom" and "Ode to Joy", when the streets and alleys can often hear " In the song of Ode to Joy and the melodious and melodic melody of the second movement of "The New Kingdom," the people in the dark corner of Aalto have regained their usual lives, and they have taken advantage of such rare opportunities to hold secret meetings.

In a seemingly ordinary civilian house in the Purple Lily District, there are a dozen mysterious figures gathered in a hidden basement. Most of them wear black hooded robes of similar style, and a small part wears various street styles on their faces. A mask you can buy is painted with animals like bears and goats that children like.

"Hang the dead, why hasn't Mr. Sage yet come?" A female mysterious man who covered his face with a hood but concealed a bumpy figure in a black robe asked in a low voice. Although the voice was changed, it was still heard. A little sweet.

They surrounded a round table, lit a few white candles, and placed many books, papers and materials.

The hanged man replied in his special cold and weird voice: "Mercury, how do I know? Mr. Sage is already a formal magician, and he has the right to come at the last moment."

The sage did not withdraw from this magic apprentice circle after becoming a full magician in the dangerously dense Aalto. Instead, he guided other magic apprentices with a teacher-like attitude and exchanged some magic potion recipes for them, so he quickly He became the de facto leader of this magic circle, benefiting many magic apprentices. At least the hanged man himself is getting closer and closer to the rank of a formal magician, and he vaguely felt the strength of mercury, morning star, and reindeer. Is it a substantial increase? I do n’t know whether it has become a formal magician, or whether it has improved other abilities through magic potions and magic arrays.

"In five minutes, if Mr. Sage hasn't come, we must leave." The man in a black robe wearing a reindeer mask said hoarsely before Mercury answered.

Other magic apprentices nodded their heads in agreement. This kind of meeting in the secret circle did not tolerate the lateness of someone, because being late often means an accident, and there must be no fluke.

Morning Star smiled bitterly when he heard the reindeer ’s words: “It ’s really depressing and annoying to be vigilant about dangers and fears.”

"If you don't want to suppress the pain, it's as good as a fire wolf." The hanged man sneered coldly.

Suddenly, all the magic apprentices who quietly discussed were quiet. Although there is no definite evidence to show that no one has witnessed and fully heard what happened in the Melzer Black Forest, but from a few simple and convenient Hearing the facts can determine that the fire wolf is a traitor lurking in the magic circle. For example, the fire wolf volunteers to know the ruins. For example, the fighting party is a large number of night watchmen. For example, the professor has not come since then. For example, the professor "Rong" List of purification sequences-they know from the official magicians in other circles.

Speaking of this matter, the voice worked hard and horrible, but there was still some sweet and moving mercury that sighed softly: "Unfortunately, there was a traitor among us, and Mr. Professor hurriedly left Aalto without telling us the Magic Council Where the headquarters is, otherwise we do n’t have to feel confused and depressed, we ca n’t find the 'bright heaven', and we feel that there is no way ahead. "

When it comes to the professor, she is deeply awe-inspiring. This comes from the profound knowledge that she has experienced firsthand, from the horror magic she has witnessed, and from the fact that he boarded the purification sequence!

Several newly-added magic apprentices often heard the name of the "Mr. Professor" from the original members. They were full of curiosity in their hearts, but they did not doubt their description of mercury. Being able to enter the purification sequence proved everything-this It is a great man who is equally awesome when it is mentioned by magicians in other circles!

"At first, I thought Mr. Professor was just an ordinary middle-level magician. I didn't expect him to be more terrifying than I thought ..." The hanged man sighed coldly, and suddenly a unique knock on the door came from the basement entrance.

"Mr. Sage is here ..." The magic apprentices sighed with relief and stood up to meet the sage quietly, because he was a formal magician and they were magic apprentices.

Mercury walked cautiously to the door of the secret room and whispered a question: "Mr. Sage?"

This is a two-story civilian house with a basement and many windows. Therefore, instead of arranging the first identification measure at the gate, they placed a magic trap directly on the walkway leading to the secret room and knocked on the door. Confirm the identity with the question so that you can detect it in advance and escape from the basement with the magical means you have prepared.

"It's me." The old voice of the sage came.

The familiar voice, the calm tone, coupled with the faint sense of mental power that did not sense the abnormality, the magic apprentices all let go of their hanging hearts.

Every time someone arrives, they tighten the string, which is really an indescribable pain.

Mercury lifted the magic trap, opened the door, and saw a sage wearing a black magic robe and a hood shadow covering his face.

"Good evening, Mr. Sage." All apprentices raised their foreheads with their right hands, bowed deeply, and paid tribute to the sages with the etiquette of ancient magicians.

When they finished the ceremony, they raised their heads, but all took a breath, because there was a mysterious man covered by a cold and big black magic robe beside the sage, and he and others just didn't notice any at all. The problem, in the vague mental power induction, the sage is empty in front, back, left and right!

"Sage, what do you mean ?! Why did you suddenly bring a stranger over?" After returning to God, Mercury accused angrily. This is the most taboo thing in a similar secret meeting.

It is absolutely forbidden to bring others to come without prior notice.

Although the hanged man and others were indignant and worried, they did not blame like Mercury, because the sage is a formal magician, and he can kill all the magic apprentices alone.

"Mercury really hides its strength, maybe it has become a formal magician ..." Seeing this scene, they thought in silence.

The sage chuckled and said: "Mercury, don't be excited, he is not a stranger, he has also attended our party."

"Ah, who?" Mercury and other magic apprentices asked in amazement.

"Mercury, hanged dead, morning star, reindeer, don't you remember me?" Lucien said again in a cold, hoarse voice that was deliberately distorted, and at the same time exuded powerful mental power without reservation.

This is no longer the oppression of will brought by the magic items, but the real middle-level magician momentum.

The hanged man and others only felt that the black robe magician in front of him was cold and horrible, as if he could never reach the bottom of the abyss. Just seeing him and feeling his breath made him tremble, and the cold from his heart spread to Every part of the body.If he only exuded momentum, without real oppression, he had already fallen on the ground by waiting for the magic apprentice, not to mention concentrating on the magic.

Intermediate magician, absolute intermediate magician!

A mid-level magician with a world-to-earth difference from a magic apprentice!

Only Mercury was slightly normal. Although she subconsciously stepped back two steps, her bare and delicate hands shook slightly, but it was more shocked than suppressed.

She shivered and said, "Mr. Professor? Mr. Professor! You are Mr. Professor!"

The only strange middle-level magician I know is Mr. Professor!

"I'm glad you can recognize me." Lucian replied grumbledly, but it was also clear that mercury was not deliberately distorted by itself, the hoarse voice often heard in the magic circle and over-raised again. Recognizable figure.

call!call!... A breath of surprise and fear came out loudly.

"Mr. Professor?" "Professor?" ... An incredible voice sounded one after another.

This is the great man who has been horrified by the name of fear over Aalto's magic circle and the night watch team for more than three years!

There are only a few mid-level magicians in Aalto, but no one can be included in the purification sequence!

I didn't expect to meet this horror magician who was ranked in the 360th place in the purification sequence for a long time by Mercury and others!

The sage anticipated this situation and smiled: "Let us welcome the professor to come again, this time he will bring us the news of the magic council headquarters!"

Really a professor, really a professor!

The magic apprentices suddenly felt proud that they were able to be in the same circle as a famous person in the purification sequence, and they really had a good face.

At the same time, they were completely uplifted, because the news that the headquarters of the Magic Council is the dream of most of them!

As a coming person, Lucien understands, understands, and sympathizes with their lives and psychological state, so even if there is no other reason, he will use another identity to pass the news of the Magic Council headquarters to them and tell them the way to go And roads, giving them the opportunity to greet the light.

After the magic apprentices held their right hands and saluted Lucien with respect, the sage introduced: "Mr. Professor, some of the magic apprentices you know a few years ago felt that Alto was too scary or had no future, such as oak. Trees and white gloves have also been killed in distress in the Black Forest or nearby ruins, such as owls and white honey, so currently only mercury, hanged people, morning stars, reindeer and me, the remaining few are new members ... … "

In the introduction of the sages, Lucian slightly felt that the first magic apprentice "Owl" Smile he knew died in an adventure. I do n’t know if the funny Doro has escaped. As for How did the white honey die, Lucien knew how sage.

After the introduction, when Mr. Professor sat down, the sweet voice of Mercury could not help but reveal: "Mr. Professor, will you really tell us the headquarters of the Magic Council? Is there any conditions? If it is within my ability, I It must be done! "

She asked in a hurry, not wanting to miss it due to delays, as she did in the previous two opportunities.

In the longing eyes of the sages and magic apprentices, Lucian chuckled: "There is no condition, because this is what every magician should do, every magician should have the consciousness of the guide, only Successively and continuously leading the latecomers, our Magic Council can grow and contend with the church. And as a magician who is often hunted down, I am sympathetic to your situation and willing to help you. "I am not pale Felipe sent by the hand.

After a brief silence, Mercury said with a bit of weeping voice: "Mr. Professor, I don't know how to express my gratitude. In short, thank you very much. Now, can you tell us now?"

The darkness, the depression, the pain, the feeling of tightness at any time, is not understood by people who have not experienced it.

"Mr. Professor, if we can reach the headquarters of the Magic Council, we will definitely not forget your help!" The cold, lifeless hanged man couldn't control his excitement either, his gratitude overflowed with words.

After each magic apprentice expressed gratitude, Lucien carefully reviewed and then smiled: "The headquarters of the Magic Council is in the Kingdom of Holm, opposite the Storm Strait. It is a floating near its capital, Luntat. The empty city is called Allinge. "
