Throne of Magical Arcana

"Hey ha!"

An eight or nine-year-old boy held a wooden sword high, exhaled and struck down.

boom!

A boy of his age across the board waved his sword to block it, and the two swords fought, making a dull noise.

Under the scorching sunlight, the two boys were sweating and the water droplets slid along the cheeks to the neck, but even so, they still clenched their teeth and concentrated on the sword practice.

On the side steps, a blond-brown-eyed man nodded slightly and expressed satisfaction with the practice of the two boys. He was young and handsome, mature and steady, and it was difficult for people to judge his exact age.

But at this time, his eyes were a little trance, and he seemed to look far away through the child in front of him.

"John, what are you thinking?" A slender and tall beauty came behind him, with a gentle temperament, blonde hair and blue eyes, which was different from Holm's general style.

John ’s eyes returned to the clear, he smiled and turned to his wife Karin: “I saw the children practicing swordsmanship like this, and I thought about it when I was a child. At that time, Lucien and I practiced the same way. The open space in the district is opposite, but he is not as strong as me, and he does not have the food to cooperate. Every time I am beaten with a wooden sword ... "

Kelly stood behind him, holding his waist with both hands, and Wenwen smiled and said: "Who can think of it, the two children in Aalto's slum area, one became the Count of the Empire, the Knight of Heaven, the Knight of Truth" The deputy head of the regiment, the other one is more terrifying, quasi-god, great arcanist, imperial prince, great musician ... "

"Yeah, life is like a drama." John patted his wife's arms around him, quite emotionally. "At first, I just wanted to be a formal knight, change the lives of my family, protect them, and protect the Principality. There is no such thing as a wish for a Sky Knight or a wife like you. "

Kelly was tall and able to rest her chin on John's shoulder. After hearing his words, she couldn't help but overflow with a smile.

Looking at the front, John looked trance again and smiled and said with a smile: "Lucien never even imagined that he would have today's achievements. At that time, his greatest wish was to be a civilian with a fixed income. It ’s magical, even the astral family are unpredictable. I remember that Lucien and I often stood outside the hall of hall of chanting, dreaming that one day we could listen to a concert in it. ... "

"Miss Alto?" Karin asked keenly.

John smiled calmly: "Yeah, miss the hall of chanting, miss the old house, miss the Black Forest where I train knights, miss the minstrels and street entertainers everywhere on the street, hehe, the old man I always miss my hometown and my childhood. "

"Old? Do you mean that I am old too? I'm only a few years younger than you." Karin snorted deliberately. "Don't you regret not choosing the territory near Aalto, but continue to stay in Luntat? ? "

When he became an earl, John had a chance to choose hereditary territory. At that time, Natasha had also served as Archduke Vaurit and could seal his territory near Aalto, but John finally chose to stay on the side of the Storm Channel.

John didn't answer, clapped his hands, motioned the children to stop, and then, instructed them to take a few words, and pulled Karin up the villa.

"I should go on a routine patrol." John said in a hurry.

Karin nodded: "I have your knight suit and armor ready."

As he passed the hall, John took Karin and pointed inside: "Listen, beautiful music, my mother is in the salon again."

"Yes." Karin didn't quite understand John's meaning. Her mother often invited noble husbands to come to the salon. What's so strange?

John pointed to the location of the study upstairs again: "Father should have gone to the Musicians Association."

"Yes." Karin still didn't understand.

John smiled and said: "Renta has a magic gramophone, a magic air conditioner, a home TV, a magic refrigerator, an alchemy car, and many life-changing alchemy items. It is the forefront of the popularization of magic, and father, Mothers are accustomed to this kind of life, enjoy this kind of life, and have their own hobbies, and then let them go back to Aalto, it is a torture to them. Besides, now there is a straight airship, even if there is no need to send the array And can also arrive in Aalto for a holiday in a few days, so I never regret my choice. "

At the end, he added another sentence: "For me, the place where you are is the home, wherever you like, I naturally choose where. Just now I just miss the time of my childhood and the past, rather than miss Aalto. . "

Karin looked slightly blushed and didn't speak. She pulled John back to the master bedroom on the second floor to help him change clothes.

boom!

While John was standing in front of the full-length mirror and sorting his clothes, a dull explosion sounded from the other end of the corridor.

Neither John nor Karin reacted abnormally, just as it was common to open and close the door.

"Ivan's experiment is a little bit more ..." John listened, listening to the footsteps of people walking in the laboratory. Then, I felt the breath of Aiwen alive, then he sighed slightly helplessly, "Fuck With the help of potions, he became the second ring mage, but he always refused to study arcane.

Ai Wen's character escapes, and he doesn't like boring arcane and magical research, but pursues a variety of spells and colorful popularization of alchemy items. In Lucien's words, it is like an inventor more than an Austrian. Warlock.

Karin comforted him: "Ivan is very smart, but only interested in popularizing alchemy items. He will work hard when he understands that he cannot effectively transform himself without a profound arcane and magical foundation. . "

Karin herself is a second-level arcanist and a fourth-ring magician.

"Well." John nodded and put on the last part of the armor.

…………

Over the forest of Strup, John asked his subordinate knights to spread out patrolling in an aircraft, and he wandered in the air, watching the situation in the forest with concentration and seriousness.

Because many elves are integrated into human society, the current guardian of the abyss is the joint responsibility of the elven king ’s court, the Druid Presbyterian Church, and the Magic Council, and the several knights of the empire are responsible for the demonized creatures in the surrounding forest or the devil Treatment.

The treatment of this gap in the abyss has always been full of controversy. The elves hope to seal it completely. The same is true for the nobles and civilians in the surrounding counties. After all, even the tight guardian also has a fish in the net, not only the forest is polluted. Slowly expanding, and some demonized creatures or escaped demons entered villages, towns, or cities. Although each time they were resolved in time, they did not cause much impact, but some people were disabled and died.

However, most magicians and knights want to keep this gap and keep the "unknown town", because it limits the strength of invading demons, there is no need to worry about the existence of horrors such as demon kings or dukes, it is more suitable to harvest many high-level materials. The ideal tempering location is much stronger than advancing directly into the abyss. I do n’t know how many times

To the best of John's knowledge, the highest panel has made a decision to set up a research group with the goal of separating the two realms while retaining a buffer zone on the first floor of the abyss, which is convenient for adventure and exercise.

what!

There was a soar in John's communication earplugs, his expression immediately became dignified, and the eagle fell down like a swoop.

In the forest, several knights resisted the attack of a glamorous woman from back to back. Her forehead had a small and cute devil horn, and her body part was covered with a layer of light black scale armor. The figure was concave and convex. Only a powerful succubus.

Several knights were wounded on their bodies. Just now they were caught off guard. Some people have been seriously injured and are dying. They are in urgent need of rescue.

The succubus held a barbed whip and attacked quickly, and various talent spells were filled with pink or dark mist.

Suddenly, a long sword with a faint black light chopped from the sky, and the mist dissipated, and the magic effects of the succubus blessing disappeared.

John is not elemental, there is no actinism, the whole person is ordinary, just like the ordinary knight, but the long sword is facing, all the extraordinary abilities are all ordinary!

"Eliminate the blood!" The succubus was shocked, his wings flapped behind him, and he turned and fled.

But her speed has greatly diminished, and John caught up and fell to the ground with a sword.

"No, don't kill me, I can recognize you as the Lord, sign a contract, and serve you well!" The succubus deliberately twisted the tempting body in exchange for a chance to live.

"When you attacked my team members, you never thought about not killing." John's gaze remained unchanged, the long sword fell, and he beheaded the succubus directly.

The succubus' stunned expression froze on his face, and the knights who were attacked in the back were also full of regret.

Rumble!

The ground suddenly shook violently, making the knights almost unable to stand.

"What happened?" John looked at the direction of the shock, and saw a bloody plain hazyly appearing in the sky. The space in front of it was twisted and intertwined, forming an exaggerated and fierce gap. There are layers of different abyss scenes.

In front of the prominent gap in the abyss, a young man wearing a long black double-breasted gown is floating there. He is wearing a black bow tie and wearing a single eye in his right eye. abyss.

"Lucien?" John blurted out after seeing the familiar figure.

At this time, Lucien stretched out his hands, and the whole person became vague, as if he was in another world, unable to touch or approach, and the vast starry sky behind him stood out, vast and vast, and dazzling.

Bang!

The dark fog near the gap is deep, I don't know what happened, John only saw the surrounding space collapse, the Scarlet Plain and the abyss behind it slowly escaped from the gap!

At the same time, a huge storm swept through the Scarlet Plain and enveloped it completely, while the thick and long silver-white electric snake was like a forest, separating it from the second layer of the connected abyss!

Directly pushed the "Abyss" away?

John looked at Lucien in the sky like a god, unable to speak for a long time, and a touch of sadness suddenly came to his mind.
