Throne of Magical Arcana

Inside the gloomy castle, silver hand-shaped candlesticks were inserted on both sides of the corridor, and the bright red candles on it exuded a faint beauty.

Wearing a black hooded robe, Lucien stood quietly outside the basement, carefully studying the defense array set by Count Vlad.

Due to the need to move ore, to smelt metal, and to allow slave dwarves to come in and out, the "daytime" Vlad Castle has not been closed, which has only inspired a few magical arrays for surveillance, and in addition to Vlad in the castle, Count, only Mrs. Tess, the vampire bride, is the middle order, so "high-level magician" Lucian enters easily.

"The defense is really strong." Lucien slightly bowed his head. Count Vlad, as a vampire strongman who has lived for thousands of years, did get a lot of good magic formations. These twenty-seven dark law formations Connected to form a powerful defense that is similar to the magic lock. Even the eighth-level magic spell can resist it. "The good news is that Count Vlad is a talent cast, not an orthodox mage, and the castle is not an alchemy life, otherwise I want to mix in. It's not that easy. "

In the hallway outside the basement, female blood servants of races such as humans, elves, and dwarfs come and go like in normal aristocratic families, but they all turn a blind eye to Lucien, who stands on the edge of the corridor, and treats him as air. .

Since he has not yet started to learn the six-group magic "group suggestion", Lucian is working hard, one by one hinting at all living creatures in the castle, even as a high-level mage, he will be exhausted for a while, for a while Before recovering.

"It takes at least two months to crack this confusing defense system. The most troublesome is that once you start cracking, it is easy to shock the sleeping Count Vlad, and a high-level vampire plus himself Castle, I have almost no chance of defeat, even danger of falling. "Lucian stood at the basement door. Rubbing his chin with his right hand, analyzing various difficulties.

Although Count Vlad was asleep, he was not the ancient magician who refused to contact Arcane in the Dark Mountains. Anyway, he used the blood power to cast, and was not afraid to shake the cognitive world. It was easy to catch up with the times and keep up with the times. . This gave Lucian, the orthodox Arcanist of the Magic Council, a headache.

"What excuse is used for the vampire bride to trick Vlad out?"

"Tess and Galata eloped? It's too bloody!"

"Use their deaths? No, Vlad will be alerted!"

"It's really troublesome ..."

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

After a while, Lucian nodded thoughtfully, and began to focus on analyzing the defensive core magic array structure, energy flow, and other things that can be directly observed.

…………

After more than ten days, the castle was operating normally. Vampire brides, housekeepers, blood servants, and slaves perform their duties in the same way as before.

But inside the castle, there is always a strange figure wearing a black robe looking east and west, and sometimes he stops and pulls out various precious materials to arrange what appears to be busy, no one is around.

But whether it is a vampire bride or a housekeeper, or a blood servant or a slave. They completely ignore such a person, even if he makes a lot of noise near the energy well behind him.

"Huh, it's finally set." Lucian crouched at the door of the basement, clapped her hands, and slowly stood upright.

The strange curse of the mouthpiece sounded, and the spiritual force spread out. The magical array of stress at the door of the basement started, and the star-like lines were bright one after another. The rays of energy flowing surged in all directions.

The **** room, the summon room, the magic garden, and the energy well. Except for the energy room and the control center in the basement, all the important places in the castle are flowing with the brilliance, which lights up the mysterious and different magical arrays. .

Soon they were connected together, leaving the entire castle covered in a layer of hazy and dreamy bright stars. Blurred and vast!

As if the magic array mask reflected from the dark night sky shrank violently, and clung to the basement, just like the original dark defense circle.

After that, Lucien's magic array was no change. Everything recovered quietly.

In such a grand and magnificent scene, the vampire and the dwarf continue their original actions, as if this is a normal change of the castle.

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

The reason for this is because Lucian did not try to crack his dark defense matrix at all, and naturally he would not alarm him.

Lucien spent more than ten days laying out a powerful magic formation with a very simple function, that is, adding a layer of defense outside Count Vlad's basement and adding a "lock" to him to sleep more "at ease" ", More" reliable. "

Of course, this layer of defense is independent of each other inside and outside, almost deadlocked. Even if Lucian tries to unlock himself, it will take nearly ten months, and the flow of energy from the energy well and magic garden will pass through this layer. The magic circle, if Count Vlad wants to come out when he is awake, the energy will be limited to less than half ability. Therefore, even with the help of the control center, he didn't have five or six years to work, and he didn't even want to leave the basement, or even pass the news.

As for five or six years later, Lucian believes that he does not have to worry about the exposure of the space nodes at all, and other accidents with extremely small probability are not considered.

Since you have a strong defense, strict vigilance, and high vigilance that makes it difficult for me to crack or assassinate, I will make your defense more "strong", your vigilance more "safe", and your security more guaranteed!

There are multiple ways to change your mind. Lucian laughed viciously, so she wouldn't say that she was inspired by jokes on the earth. If you can't unlock your lock, I'll give you another one!

"Just a bit of pain." Lucien moaned his chin and shook his head and sighed.

Although the main source of the magic circle materials was the "good" Earl Vlad's warehouse, Lucian also lost a large amount of materials that he planned to deploy in the future in a critical moment, and the real treasure of Earl Vlad was located in the basement. In the meantime, Jean Lucien failed to recover the losses and could only "reluctantly comfort himself" with a lot of Mithril and special metals.

After a careful inspection of the "Powerful Defense", after confirming that it was okay, Lucian placed a hidden law at the door of the basement to store the simulated Count Vlad's voice.

If someone invites or tries to wake him up, "he" will regret to answer that he is in the critical period of healing, as long as it is not "night plateau" invaded by a powerful enemy. On the verge of failure, don't bother.

After doing all this, Lucien left the castle leisurely and walked out of the door a few steps. He turned around with an gusto, pressed his right hand on his chest, and bent down to perform the gentleman ceremony:

"Good night. Count Vlad."

…………

In the underground cave, the dwarves who signed the magic contract found the steam sledgehammer, iron stove, food, paper and other items in the cave elsewhere according to "memory".

"Next, we need to do three things," said Elder Augustus, standing in front of the altar in glory, and he received three books compared to other dwarves. One is "Basics of Electromagnetic Transformation and Application", one is "The Pope", and one is "On Lasting Struggle". Seeing his excitement, it seems that he has found a tome to defeat the enemy.

"First, we must perfect the doctrine as soon as possible and quietly develop more kinsmen. Second, we should find food suitable for planting in the desolate places of the ground and the 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 sufficient time to master the knowledge given by the Lord, and forge more and better machinery. Rearm ourselves. "

"Yes, elder! Steam is supreme!" Harold led the dwarves to raise their arms and shouted, the knowledge in the books deeply shocked them, letting them absorb "nutrition" hungry.

They used to think that they and others have inherited part of the inheritance of steam civilization, but now they know that in fact, they have not even touched their fur, let alone the miracle civilization of Atlantis!

And hope for the dawn. Energize them.

The elder watched with satisfaction the dwarves were busy and turned to kneel in front of the altar.

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

"Mechanical Apocalypse."

"He comes here and tells people. There is loss when there is gain, and there is loss when there is loss. The hardships and pains of life are tempered, so that you will have wisdom and a strong soul that is better than others ... Exchange, don't call your whole body into **** ... "

…………

After leaving the castle of Count Vlad, Lucien went back to observe what the dwarves were doing, and then he felt relieved to head north.

There, there are several horrible princes of vampires. It is said that when one of the most powerful of them fell asleep, his dream can be directly transformed into a "real" city, appearing on the night plateau, and there are countless humans and dwarves. , Elves, werewolves are constantly performing sadness and joy.

However, their strength has nothing to do with Lucien for the time being. After sneaking into the north, Lucien quickly changed direction and headed for a castle that seemed to be always enveloped by darkness.

This castle is dark and hazy, 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 of the Observer" belonging to Earl Rhein of Silver Eye.

As a substantial vampire prince ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Rhein naturally guards a space node leading to the dark mountains.

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

In the dark fog, Lucian walked through the shadowy city walls and walked in the gloomy corridor. From time to time, according to the spell given by Rhein, the dangerous and dangerous traps were lifted.

Soon, Lucian saw the node teleportation array, stepped on, read the mantra, excited the light, and disappeared in place.

…………

The Dark Night Plateau is a glitzy castle in the style of the ancient kingdom of Syracuse.

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

His crystal-red eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't see what attitude he took to the matter. (To be continued.
