Throne of Magical Arcana

In the gloomy old castle, the sides of the corridor were filled with silver hand-shaped candlesticks, and the bright red candles above exuded the magical beauty under the dim light of their own.

Lucian, dressed in a black hooded robe, stood quietly outside the basement, carefully studying the defensive circle arranged by Earl Vlad.

Because of the need to move ore, to smelt metal, and to allow slave dwarves to enter and exit, the "daytime" Vlad Castle was not closed, only a few magic circles for surveillance were added, plus Vlad in the castle Earl, only Mrs. Tess, the vampire bride, was the mid-level, so Lucien, the "high-level magician", mixed in easily.

"The defense is really strong." Lucian slightly jaws, Count Vlad as a vampire strongman who has lived for thousands of years, did get a lot of good magic circles, these twenty-seven dark magic circle Connected together, it forms a strong defense similar to the mysterious lock. Even the eighth-level magical sun burst can resist, "The good news is that Earl Vlad is a talented spellcaster, not an orthodox wizard, and the castle is not an alchemy life. I want to mix in, it's not that easy. "

In the hallway outside the basement, female blood servants transformed by humans, elves, dwarves and other races come and go like normal noble families, but they all turned a blind eye to Lucien standing on the edge of the corridor and regarded him as air. .

Since he has not yet started to learn the "group hinting technique" of six-ring magic, Lucian is working hard, one by one, implying all the living creatures in the castle, even if he is a high-level mage, he will be exhausted after a lap. Before recovering.

"It takes at least two months to crack this defensive circle system that is almost like a lock. The most troublesome thing is that once you start cracking, it is easy to alarm the sleeping Count Vlad, and a high-end vampire plus himself I have almost no chance of defeating, or even the danger of falling. "Lucian stood at the door of the basement, rubbing her chin with her right hand, analyzing all kinds of difficulties.

Although Count Vlad was asleep, he was not the ancient inheritance magician in the dark mountains who refused to contact Arcane. Anyway, he used the power of blood to cast spells. He was not afraid of shaking the cognitive world. , Giving Lucien the orthodox arcanist of the Magic Council a headache.

"What excuse did the vampire bride deceive Vlad?"

"Tess and Galata eloped? Too bloody!"

"Use their death? No, it will alert Vlad!"

"It's really troublesome ..."

"Perhaps, think about it from another angle ..."

After a while, Lucien nodded thoughtfully, and began to focus on analyzing directly observable things such as the structure of the magic core and the energy flow direction of the defense core.

…………

After more than ten days, the castle is functioning normally, and the vampire bride, the housekeeper, the blood servant, and the slave perform their duties, just like before.

But inside the castle, there was always a strange figure wearing a black robe looking around, and sometimes stopped to take out all kinds of precious materials to decorate, it seemed busy, no one was around.

But whether it was a vampire bride, a housekeeper, or a blood servant, a slave, he completely ignored the existence of such a person, even if he made a burst of noise near the energy well behind him.

"Hoo, finally arranged." Lucian squatted at the basement door, clapped her hands, and stood slowly.

The bizarre mantra sounded, and the spiritual power spread out. The magic array at the basement door started to respond to the stress. The star-like lines were bright one after another. A stream of energy flow surged in all directions.

In addition to the energy room and control center in the basement, all the important places in the castle, with the splendid brilliance flowing rapidly, light up the mysterious and mysterious different magic arrays in the bondage room, summoning room, magic garden, and energy well. .

Soon, they were connected together, making the whole castle enveloped by a layer of hazy and dreamy stars, blurred and vast!

As if the shadow of the magic array reflected in the dark night sky shrank sharply, it clung tightly around the basement, as if integrated into the original dark defense magic circle.

After that, the magic circle arranged by Lucien no longer moved, and everything was quiet again.

In such a vast and magnificent scene, the vampires and dwarves continued their original movements, as if this was a normal change in the castle.

And Count Vlad in the basement was still asleep, not even aware of it!

The reason for this is that Lucien did not attempt to crack his dark defense circle at all, and naturally he would not disturb him.

Lucian spent more than ten days to arrange a powerful magic array, which has a very simple function. It is to add a layer of defense outside the basement of Count Vlad and add a "lock" to him, so that he can sleep more "at ease." ", More" rest assured ".

Of course, this layer of defense is internal and external, almost deadlocked, even if Lucien tries to unlock it himself, it will take nearly ten months, and the flow of energy wells and magic gardens to the energy will pass through this layer. Magic circle, if Earl Vlad wants to come out after sober, the energy will be limited to half of the ability.Therefore, even with the assistance of the control center, he does not have five or six years of effort, and he does not want to leave the basement, even to deliver the message.

As for five or six years later, Lucien believes that he does not have to worry about the problem of space node exposure, and other accidents with minimal probability are not under consideration.

Since your defense is strong, guarded, and vigilant, making it difficult for me to crack or assassinate, then I will let you be more "strong" in defense, more "guarded" in security, and "guaranteeed" in safety!

There are many ways to change the way of thinking. Lucian laughed in a funny way, so that she would not be inspired by jokes on the earth. If you can't unlock your lock, you will add another one!

"It's just a little painful." Lucian Mo shook his head and sighed.

Although the main source of magic circle material is the "good-hearted" Earl Vlad ’s warehouse, Lucian also lost a lot of material that was going to be used to arrange the defensive circle in the critical moment, and the real treasure house of Earl Vlad was located in the basement. Inside, let Lucien fail to recover the loss, and can only "barely comfort himself" to take a lot of Mithril and special metals.

After carefully checking the "Powerful Defense Circle", and confirming that it had no problem, Lucien placed a hidden circle at the basement door, storing the simulated voice of Earl Vlad.

If someone invites or tries to awaken him, "he" will reply apologetically. He is in a critical period of healing. As long as it is not the "Night Plateau" invaded by a strong enemy and is on the verge of failure, don't disturb.

After all this was done, Lucian left the castle leisurely and walked a few steps out of the gate. He turned around in a mischievous manner, pressed his chest with his right hand, and bent down to perform a gentleman's salute:

"I wish you a good dream, Earl Vlad."

…………

In the underground cave **, the dwarves who signed the magic contract found their steam sledge hammers, iron stoves, food, paper and other items in other places of the cave according to "memory".

"Next, we need to do three things." Big Elder Augustus said before the altar with glory. Compared with other dwarves, he got three books, one is "Electromagnetic Transformation and Application Basics" , One is "The Pope's Theory" and the other is "On the Protracted Resistance", and he was very excited, as if he had found a treasure to defeat the enemy.

"First, we need to perfect the doctrine as soon as possible and quietly develop more kinsmen; second, we should find suitable food for planting in the desolate ground and plateau, and solve the problem of hunger as soon as possible; The frontal collision of vampires, even in a short period of time, do not have any collisions. We need enough time to master the knowledge given by the Lord, cast more and better machinery, and re-arm ourselves. "

"Yes, the elders! The steam is supreme!" Harold led the dwarves and shouted. The knowledge in the books shocked them deeply, making them hungrily absorb "nutrition."

They used to think that they and others had inherited some of the inheritance of the steam civilization, but now they know that they haven't even touched the fur, let alone the miracle civilization of Atlantis!

And hope that the emergence of dawn will make them full of motivation.

The elders watched with satisfaction the dwarves were busy, turned and knelt in front of the altar.

After chanting the holy name, he took out a pen and paper and wrote:

"" Mechanical Revelation "."

"He came here and told people that if you get something, you will lose, and if you lose, you will definitely get it. The hardships and pains of life are all hone, so that you can get wisdom and a strong soul that is better than others ... The exchange does not make the whole body fall into hell ... "

…………

After leaving Count Vlad's castle, Lucien went back to observe what the dwarves were doing, and then he assuredly went north.

There are several terrifying vampire princes. It is said that when one of the most powerful one is sleeping, his dream can be directly transformed into a "real" city, appearing on the night plateau. , Elves, werewolves are constantly interpreting the joys and sorrows.

However, their power has nothing to do with Lucien for a while. After diving into the north, Lucien quickly changed direction and went to a castle that seemed to be always covered by darkness.

The castle is gloomy and vague, and it seems that it is just a projection of a powerful castle in the main material world on the night plateau, and it is not a real existence.

It is the "Observer for the Observer" belonging to the Silver Eye Earl Rhine.

As a substantive vampire prince, Rhine naturally guards a space node leading to the dark mountains.

Through the teleportation array located at this node, it can directly reach the periphery of the "Observer Castle" in the dark mountains.

In the dark mist, Lucien walked through the shadowy walls and walked in the dark corridor, according to the spell given by Rhein, from time to time the horror and danger trap was lifted.

Soon, Lucien saw the node teleportation array, set foot on it, read the spell, excite the light, and disappeared in place.

…………

Dark Plateau, a flashy castle in the style of the ancient Syracuse Kingdom.

A bizarre man in a black tuxedo carried a wine glass, shaking a bright red liquid, and said to the housekeeper next to him: "Rhein has been missing for a long time, and the old guy seems a little tempted."

His crystal-like red eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't see his attitude towards the matter.
