Throne of Magical Arcana

After taking the scroll, Lucian gradually settled down and asked curiously: "Teacher, you keep saying that you did a lot of ridiculous things when you were young, what ridiculous things are they?"

After hearing this, Fernando glared and said: "Don't inquire about things that shouldn't be inquired! Quickly go back and analyze the 'Spell Trigger'! Don't think that if you have a ritual, you will be promoted!"

The sudden roar frightened Lucien, and quickly exited the door.When the door closed and the sound was cut off, Lucian shook her head in amusement and doubt: "The ridiculous things the teacher did seem to be ridiculous!"

…………

Five days later, on the 33rd floor of the Magic Council headquarters, an empty hall.

The hall floor is mixed with the blood of the banshee and other precious materials to engrave a human-like weird magic array. The positions of the head, left chest, palms and feet are covered with magic lines, just like dark red. heart.

"Lying on the magic circle." After Felipe arranged the basic magic circle, he let Lucien and the storm dominate, lest they secretly learn this special soul ritual "Blessing of Banshee".

Lucien removes the Holm Crown Ring, Ice Avenger Ring, Ogre Power Gloves, takes off the Immortal Throne Robe, Boots of Evasion, takes off the Sun's Crown Amulet, Fireweaver's Bracelet, and Arcane Badge , Magic badges, hand them over to the savvy Avris "Custody"-this soul ritual must not be interfered with by any magic items.

Avris temporarily acted as a coolie but did not feel troublesome. Amber eyes looked at the ornaments in his hand brightly, licking rings, amulets, etc. with his tongue from time to time, without paying any attention to the ritual.

Lucian, wearing a white shirt and skinny trousers, slowly walked to the magic circle and lay down in a fixed position. Felipe took out six huge bone nails made of high-level banshee teeth, and the tone was very bad. Authentic: "Don't call it out in pain."

When he was finished, he picked up a bone nail engraved with complicated and strange patterns and slammed it on the back of Lucien's right hand.

I do n’t know what material is still so sharp. It even directly pierced the body of Lucien ’s second-level knight and nailed it into the magic circle below.

Despite being mentally prepared, Lucien choked her lower teeth. Pain was an unavoidable reaction. Fortunately, the more painful injuries had also been experienced, so he would not shout.

A drop of blood flashing with the light of the silver moon overflowed, dyeing the banshee's bone nails crimson, but soon, the color quickly faded until it disappeared, it seemed to be completely absorbed by the bone nails, and slowly injected into the lines of the magic circle in.

After the left hand, right ankle, and left ankle were all pierced with bone nails, Felipe gently stuck the remaining two in the center of Lucian's forehead and heart.They entered shallowly, almost only piercing the skin, but they seemed to have a mysterious connection with the magic array behind Lucien, and they stood upright like that, piercing Lucien's brain and heart.

After doing all this, Felipe stepped back a few steps, gently chanting the spell, and the lines of the magic circle slowly light up.

The mantra was gentle, like a song, a burst of sleeping power penetrated from the bone nails and the magic circle, let Lucian's eyelids sink, and his thoughts spread involuntarily, remembering that he had devoted himself to the past few days. "Spell Trigger" reminded me of taking the time to "improve" the structure and materials of the magic crystal lamp, and gave it to Arthur and Florence to identify from different professionals.

"The wind from the place of sleep, please blow through this helpless soul, never stop blowing." Felipe held up his black magic wand inlaid with various gems, using the death created by the Mishkeite Empire The language of spirit reads incantation.

A huge pale white gem on the magic wand shone, and Felipe's trench coat fluttered, like the wings of a bat, as if there were really a breeze with a rotten taste.

Lucien felt the breath of the wind in a trance, and a burst of hypnotic sounds followed the wind, and her soul fluttered even more.

"The flames from the skeleton wasteland, please warm this helpless soul and let him be protected for a long time." Felipe went around a third of the circle and recited again in the language of the dead.

After a moment of emptiness, the pale and invisible illusory flames appeared from the magic circle.They did not cause any damage to Lucien's body, but they made Lucien feel the warmth and the soul became more pure.

Fernando's red eyes were half-closed, and he seemed to see through a phantom pale flame a monster with a sickle and a black robe, and a wasteland with countless undead creatures wandering behind it.

"The cold from the silent hell, please surround this helpless soul, let him get eternal silence." Felipe circled again a third circle, and a silver gem lighted up.

Endless coldness and silence wrapped Lucien's soul, making it more solid.

After all this was done, Felipe raised his left hand, screaming silently.

Six bone nails filled with Lucien's blood were twisted like snakes, rising into an illusory shadow.

This is a beautiful but distorted female phantom. Their upper body is white and naked, and their expressions are painful and uneasy. But driven by Felipe's scream, they opened their mouths and sang.

The singing is beautiful and the melody is beautiful, but only the soul can hear it. Lucien vaguely saw her soul appearing strange waves in the song, slowly absorbing the liquid flowing in the magic circle.

Two minutes later, Felipe had cold sweat on his forehead, put his left hand down, and took out a strange all-black mirror from his arms. It was not only dotted with small magic gems, but also scarlet "leaves", pale and empty eyes, and the back was blindfolded The gruesome banshee's cheeks.

The mirror was thrown by Felipe, and there was no one floating on top of Lucien's head, and the black mirror that could not reflect the figure was aimed at him.

The tough, undead necromantic spell spit out from Felipe's mouth, and all the gems on the magic wand shone, attracting Avris' attention.

The mirror trembled gently, and the singing voices of the six female demon ghosts turned into crying, extremely painful, and the completely black mirror slowly cracked, revealing white empty eyes!

In the pupils, the black twisted figures seemed to be dancing strangely.

Seen by these weird extreme eyes, Lucian suddenly felt that the fluttering soul suddenly rose, floating through the clouds, across the starry sky, meeting his own destiny master star, and then sensing that in the endless distance, unable to Where it touches, there seems to be something in touch with his soul.

It is looking down on itself with a high attitude!

The lines of the magic circle suddenly jumped strangely, as if they were alive, and then all curled up around Lucien's body and deeply immersed.

Lucien's soul was slammed back into the body, shaking tremblingly seven times, waking up completely.

"My promise has been fulfilled, and I don't owe you anything." Felipe took out a white handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He dropped a sentence with a somber face and turned away without looking back.

Lucien's head was slightly dizzy and a bit unable to adapt to the state of the soul. After a few minutes passed, the spirit moved, and the bone nails on the palm floated up by themselves, turning into a little powder.

"Mental power and soul can already interfere with reality ..." Lucien confirmed with a bit of emotion that his speed from mid-level to high-level may be the fastest in the history of the Magic Council, but it was exchanged for the speed of promotion in the future. of.

The bone nails shattered and turned into powder, Lucien stood up as if he had not been hurt, and the magic circle engraved on the floor had completely disappeared.

"What does the last eye represent?" Fernando, the storm's master, whispered in confusion.

His great arcanist sees the essence directly through fancy and complex magic rituals. For example, he knows the power borrowed earlier, but the last step is not clear what is going on.

Recalling the last weird feeling, Lucian asked half doubt and half anxiety: "Teacher, at the end of the ceremony, my soul seems to be connected to something very distant. Is this abnormal?"

If it ’s an ordinary ritual, Lucien does n’t dare to ask her teacher, fearing to reveal the secret of the Soul Library, but for this “Blessed Banshee” ritual, Fernando does n’t understand that any strange things can be pushed onto it go with.

"This is a weak foundation. You don't know a lot about high-level knowledge." Fernando sighed slightly and said seriously, "Almost every high-level magician will have a similar strange feeling when he is promoted. Some can be detected when the soul can interfere with reality. At present, it is generally considered to be an illusory image of the real world after the cognitive world interacts with the real world. "

"It's not just my problem." Lucian reassured.In the future, the slowdown in promotion will barely be tolerated, and your own advantages in world cognition can make up for a lot, but if it is because of this, it is troublesome to have any soul trauma that is difficult to treat.

Fernando glared at Avris, letting him grief-strickenly return the item hung from his paws to Lucian: "Take a good rest, get used to it, and don't be busy with the promotion ceremony."

"Yes, teacher." Lucien wouldn't joke about his soul in order to catch this time.

Magic Council, 28th floor, high warehouse area.

"Red Dragon Scale ..."

"Juice of the Scarlet Devil Tree ..."

"Emerald Spirit Eater ..."

"Six Sun Stones ..."

"Demon's brain ..."

"Ghost's 'tears' ..."

...

"Commissioner Evans, this is the material you want." Smith, the five-ring magician guarding the warehouse, handed him the materials exchanged by Lucien. Alright? "

Many of the materials needed for the promotion of advanced magic rituals are rare items and relatively expensive, so all the magicians of the five rings in this pass can apply for help from the magician management department. The council will provide the most complete resources and the cheapest price— —Half price, so Lucien took over the certification documents issued by the commission and went directly to exchange materials, but almost all the arcane points and quintals on his body were spent, and only one third was collected.

It seems that I have to mortgage the annuity income for the next three years to the teacher, and I will also give the subsidy given by the Council and Elemental Will to Avris, as its monthly salary in the future, so that it can fake me out at intervals. Lucien thought "heartbrokenly" and "laughed" at Smith: "I just prepared in advance."

Is there such an exchange in advance?Smith looked at the back of Lucien's departure, and was very puzzled. He had only heard of going out for adventure and collected some materials by himself. He had never heard of anyone who had come to the warehouse to exchange in advance.The warehouse will not run away!

"It seems that Commissioner Evans is really going to be promoted, this speed ..." Smith could hardly describe his mood.

…………

Seven days later, Lucian stood in the hall where the ceremony was held again, and was a little uneasy in her heart, because the ceremony of advancing to a high-level magician was much more difficult than the "Blessing of Banshee". The probability of failure was very large, and almost ten people met the conditions Three or four of the five ring magicians who were promoted failed, and this kind of forcible promotion is probably more dangerous.
