Throne of Magical Arcana

In the underground palace, Lucien, holding the "Frost" long sword in both hands, dragged out an afterimage and ran wildly in the corridor. Sophia, who had cast the "acceleration technique" on herself, followed closely behind, but the speed of the two could not be fully developed. Because I have to stop frequently to identify the direction, so as not to go the wrong way in the ever-changing maze.

"You can't go through the front door, or you will step on a trap and trigger a terrifying magic circle." After carefully identifying the nearby magic patterns and comparing them with the map, Sophia pointed to the end of the corridor and said.

Lucien, who analyzed it twice as fast as her, frowned and said, "Then what should we do? Deciphering the magic circle is a waste of time."

Sophia chuckled, and the previous panic and fear seemed to have completely disappeared: "Of course I went around, this is not a trial of the Magic Council, it is a test of the mastery and deciphering of the magic circle. Among the people who came in, besides me, there are a few The one who understands magic? Didn't they rely on the collected information and maps to slowly explore, and when they encountered a dangerous magic circle, they would detour around it, or wait for the time to pass, and the position of the magic circle would change automatically."

"The detour or the long wait?" Lucien felt like a persuasive "professor" who was testing the judgment of the female students through the ruins.

Sophia said without hesitation: "Detour, let's enter this room, which is connected to another corridor."

She pointed to the mahogany door a few steps away, with a rather smug expression on her face, obviously possessing the pride of a spellcaster.

Full marks! Lucien murmured in his heart, then walked a few steps quickly, and opened the door carefully.

The Sun King's underground palace has a natural suppressive induction effect, and with Sophia right next to it, it's not easy for Lucien to deploy his mental force field.

The mahogany door was heavier than Lucien had imagined, almost comparable to the heaviest metal. As it slowly opened, a foul smell rushed over.

"Be careful!" Sophia hurriedly reminded, and then saw "Borak" dodge aside with little time to react, as if he had been prepared.

She pointed the green magic wand in her hand, and the wind was strong, roaring in all directions, and the stench quickly dissipated.

"Poison gas?" Lucien asked knowingly.

Sophia nodded solemnly: "It may be that someone passed by here and touched the magic circle, you have to be careful."

She saw "Borak" holding the blue long sword tightly, and flashing into the room with the steps of a knight.

In the room, wardrobes, sofas, desks, etc. were either severely damaged or fell to the ground, as if after a fierce struggle.

On the other side of the door, lay two young noble men, their faces darkened, their hands clasped like chicken feet, and there were puddles of dirty liquid at the corners of their mouths.

"Poisoned to death?" Lucien recognized them as noble children following Alten, and one of them had even activated his blood.

A hurried exclamation came from behind Lucien, and Sophia also saw the two corpses, her expression gloomy again: "They are Deni's cousins, but they died here unexpectedly. No matter how this matter ends, you guys The Plantagenet family will face great troubles, and the strength of so many noble families united together cannot be underestimated, and you must pay a very high price to appease their anger."

"Damn the plotter, and the family traitor who cooperated with him!" Lucien cursed like a member of the orthodox Plantagenet family, and then slowly moved to the side of the two corpses, inspecting the wounds on their bodies, and Judge what happened to them.

Huh? On the chest of one of the corpses, Lucien found an obvious dent, which was not the size that normal humans could make!

With a heartbeat, Lucien turned over suddenly, and the sound of the wooden door breaking and howling wind suddenly sounded behind him.

"Steel Golem!" Sophia shouted the word, reminding Lucien.

After Lucien rolled away, he punched the ground hard with his elbow, bounced and turned around, and saw a two-person tall golem made of steel. Two red lights flickered coldly in its eye sockets, and it swung down the giant hammer with both hands raised high.

Suppressing his urge to use "Infrasonic Resonance", Lucien walked briskly, turned sideways to avoid the front, held "Frost" tightly with both hands, and slashed hard on the side of the giant hammer.

Suddenly, amidst the piercing sound of metal clashing, the sledgehammer was hit far away, and Lucien's hands were severely numb and trembled slightly.

What a terrifying power!

The strength of the steel golem surpassed that of ordinary great knights, making it difficult for Lucien who was wearing the ogre monster power gloves!

The monster seemed completely unaffected. The giant hammer made a half circle and hit Lucien in the middle.

Lucien's hands shone with silver and white light, and a layer of icy blue appeared on the sword body, and the hilt was retracted to hold against the giant hammer.

There was a strong wind around it, and it suddenly solidified, turning into countless blue blades and slashing the steel golem, but only shallow scratches were left on the silver-white body.

Sophia, who has little combat experience, seems to have chosen the wrong magic for the first time!

Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang! The unaffected steel golem swung a sledgehammer and struck Lucien's "Frost" long sword one after another, making harsh noises.

Lucien hadn't fought hand-to-hand for a long time, and he was still facing the steel monster whose strength was overwhelming him, and the narrow room didn't leave him room to dodge and maneuver, so he could only block it head-on with swords. According to Natasha and John Taught cavalier tricks, take a step back after a while to relieve the intense pressure.

The strength of the steel golem was comparable to that of a top-level five-level knight. Under its attack, Lucien blocked from left to right and was in danger.

The more difficult the situation was, the more calm Lucien was. Even though his hands were trembling uncontrollably, he was still able to hold the long sword tightly and block the steel golem's attacks one after another.

The blue light kept shining, and a layer of frost gradually formed on the giant hammer and body of the steel golem. Although it couldn't hurt it, it slowed down its speed.

The slight change of "Storm Waves" was so obvious in Lucien's concentrated mind. He immediately took a step forward, dodged the sledgehammer, let out a cracking sound, swung his long sword, and slashed at the steel golem's knee joint.

when! For the first time since the battle, Lucien hit the steel golem, and a layer of solidified ice crystals appeared on its knee joints.

Although the layer of ice crystals shattered instantly with the force of the steel golem, it brought it a brief stagnation, and Lucien seized the opportunity to hit the knee joint on the other side again.

The wind whistled, and wisps of cyan wind condensed into ropes, entangled the steel golem's knee joints, elbow joints, wrists, neck and other places, making its movements more and more sluggish.

Lucien's attack seemed to inspire Sophia, allowing her to cooperate effectively!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lucien launched a stormy attack in front of the steel golem with firm and flexible steps. He swung his sword and dodged again and again.

The steel golem's eyes flashed red, its iron jaw opened, and a yellow-green gas erupted.

Just as Lucien was about to dodge, the gas was blown away by the sudden hurricane and drifted towards the back of the steel golem.

"Dispel the smoke", Sophia responded "miraculously" and chose the right magic.

Lucien kicked his feet and rushed forward, dodging the falling hammer, and the long sword hit his knee joint again, making the steel golem move like rust.

However, the level 4 long sword could only leave not deep marks on the iron golem, and so many swords could not destroy its knee joints, instead Lucien was almost hit by the giant hammer several times. If it weren't for the special slowing effect of "Frost", Lucien would have failed without magic.

At this moment, Lucien suddenly felt a strong suction coming from the opposite side, and managed to stabilize the "Frost" long sword with difficulty. The steel golem was even more unbearable, and it was difficult to move forward by the invisible force.

Ten seconds later, there was a slight sound of metal twisting inside the iron golem, the red light in its eyes quickly went out, and it fell to the ground with a bang, like a mountain collapsed.

Sophia seems to have finally remembered that the best magic to deal with steel monsters is the "strong magnetic field", so she cast the five-ring "strong magnetic shock" in the talent magic.

"Fortunately, this is the palace of the Sun King, not the palace of the Lord of Storms, otherwise we have to hold on for a while." Lucien secretly sighed. The latest steel golem of the Magic Council has been able to maintain combat effectiveness for several minutes within the range of a strong magnetic field, which is enough to kill most middle-level magicians and great knights.

As he thought about it, Lucien gasped violently. After becoming an official magician, he had never fought such a terrifying hand-to-hand combat. Under the astonishing power of the steel golem, every second was at stake, and several times he had to use the "Professor's Infrasound Resonance" regardless of the consequences.

However, after this battle, Lucien only felt that his qi and blood were flowing freely, and his blood roared joyously. Although his back was sweating profusely, his hands were trembling, and he was exhausted, he felt extremely refreshed.

This is a faithful feedback from the body!

"I have to keep exercising in the future, and I can't waste my body..." Lucien suddenly had a strange thought.

Seeing that "Borak" was gasping for breath and did not speak, Sophia said timidly and blushingly: "I, I didn't do it on purpose, the first time I met a steel golem, I forgot all the knowledge I usually learned, and remembered it later ,Are you OK?"

"It's okay, the first battle will be like this, Your Highness, you don't need to mind." Under the rush of blood, Lucien only felt that his strength recovered very quickly, but he was thinking about irrelevant issues in his mind. Sophia is said to be the blood of the "Angel of the Wind", but she can cast strong magnetic field magic. Does the power of wind in this world really represent electromagnetic force?

In Lucien's understanding, among the four elements redefined by the Magic Council, the wind element represents the electromagnetic force, and even the vast majority of arcanists think so, and they also relatively uniformly regard the earth element as gravity , is just the fire element and the water element, and there is no universally accepted explanation of the basic force.

"It's the first cruel battle, it's great to have you as my guardian knight." Sophia said with soft and moving eyes.

"It's my honor." Lucien replied "excitedly".

Sophia nodded briskly: "Then let's take a break and move on."

When she cast her magic to check the passage ahead, Lucien lowered his eyes, shook his head and said to himself, "Did she test my strength and cards just now?"

Unless you are really scared, or no one teaches you what it means to focus on casting spells, there can be such a long interval between spells! As a knight, "Borak" is really unclear, but as a high-level magician, Lucien is an "expert professor". In the one-minute hand-to-hand combat, Sophia only cast four spells, deducting the buffer, She has plenty of time to re-enter the spell-casting concentration state, and even if she can't think of a suitable spell, she will try to cast it a few times.

Having recovered their strength, Lucien and Sophia continued on their way.

After bypassing the room with the dangerous magic circle, the two abruptly entered another hall from one hall.

And in this hall, more than a dozen nobles have gathered!

Ralph and Claire each had two or three companions occupying a corner, facing Alten and the others at a distance, while several bloody corpses lay in the center.

They all had panicked and gritted teeth expressions on their faces, as if they were frightened by the real tragedy of death.

From the number of them, Lucien could judge that most of the noble children had either not come yet, or had already been frightened and ran around like headless chickens, looking for hidden corners where no one was hiding, waiting for the nightmare to pass like Duda did. And the rest of these people can suppress the panic and gather together to protect themselves. It has already shown that they are the elite among the noble children. If they can survive and go to the northern provinces to experience the temper of the war, they may not be able to become nobles in the future. the backbone of the.

"It's you, Borak, you must have changed the magic circle and wanted to kill us all here!" Seeing Lucien and Sophia coming in, Alten shouted loudly with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, with an uncontrollable hatred and hatred.

"Among us, only Her Royal Highness is a spellcaster with the ability to change the magic circle, and she supports you!"

"Claire, Ralph, let's forget about the previous battle and stalemate, and join hands to kill this despicable villain!"

The accusations aroused strong suspicion and anger among the shocked nobles.
