The night was dark, the silver moon did not appear in the sky, and even the bright stars were only visible to the naked eye.
Lucien stood behind the thick brown-yellow curtains of the hotel and watched such a night quietly through the cracks, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, because without the silver moon shining, he could not fully exert the power of the "moonlight" bloodline, except for the speed and agility that could be equivalent to that of a full-fledged knight, everything else was only the level of a quasi-knight.
"It's good to be able to see those stars, otherwise it would be troublesome to wait for the entrance to calculate the mystery."
Lucien comforted himself.
The entrance to the "Great Cross Star Shelf" will change according to the position of the stars borrowing power, every ten minutes, unless the sun rises and completely suppresses the effect of the other stars, otherwise if you can't directly see the stars to calculate, Lucien can only turn over the thick stack of astrological charts and star catalogs in distress, calculate and summarize the past trajectory of the nine stars, and then calculate the current position, the amount of calculation is a bit large, "And there is no moonlight, the dark night with no fingers is more suitable for hiding." ” In the distance, the bell of the steeple of the town church walked unhurriedly, and as soon as the hand pointed to eleven, Lucien returned to his bedside and changed into the black hooded coat that had been brought out the other day.
He pulled down his hood and walked to the window, and just as Lucien was about to open a gap and escape, a wave of hesitation welled up in his heart.
"The poems and manuscripts appeared so suddenly, so intensively, it seemed that many people got a copy, and the whole thing smelled of conspiracy."
Lucien originally thought that the church was using the hands of Lilith's siblings to test him, but after learning from Rhine's mouth that the church had not been able to draw out manpower recently, and seeing the dozen or so strangers in the town of Massawa with a mysterious smell, he felt that the matter of the ruins was becoming more and more confusing, not like the style of the church.
"And it will take six to seven months to get from Aalto to Stulk, and there is a good chance that the Silver Moon Elixir will be obtained from another source, such as in the hands of Sturke's Magic Council liaison."
"Do you really need to take the risk?"
Since this was the exclusive mystery of the legendary magician, Lucien believed that as long as he was not greedy and took advantage of the time difference, the chances of returning safely from the ruins were high, and he didn't have to pay attention to other people's schemes, but when he thought about it, he realized that there was no need to take the risk.
Because it's not the only place where you can get the materials of the Silver Moon Elixir, there are even about five years, when your spiritual power reaches a certain level through meditation, with your own analysis and mastery of the magic of the ring, with your own knowledge structure and depth, you can completely build a spell model by yourself without the cooperation of the potion and become a real magician.
But soon, Lucien remembered that Rhine had a meaningful look at him before leaving, and let himself have a faint premonition through the main star of fate, as if something big was about to happen, and if he did not have the strength to protect himself, he would probably die at that time, and: "The owner of the poems and manuscripts seems to have seen with his own eyes the creation of Lake Elsinore and the arrangement of the mystery, who is he?"
"The legendary magician who left the book of stars and elements has the title of prophet, and the lock is likely to have been arranged by his own hands, perhaps he once predicted something and left something in the lock."
Many thoughts were generated in Lucian's mind, and many desires surged in Lucian's body, which strengthened his determination to go to the magical ruins.
Pulling the window open, Lucien moonlit and jumped out gently.
In order to maintain his strength, Lucien arrived at the small town of Bonn on the shores of Lake Elsinore a full hour later.
It is a small town on the edge of a dark mountain range, remote and closed, with little communication with the outside world, except for the occasional musician, painter, etc.
In this era, there was no industry called "tourism".
But Lucian, who sneaked into the town in the dark, saw not closed and deserted, the only tavern in the town was brightly lit, and the unique accents of many places could be distinguished from the noise.
In the small room on the second floor of the tavern, Sara and Lilith looked at each other with sad faces.
"Brother, what should I do, I thought that we were the only ones who deciphered the manuscript through Mr.
Evans, and knew the secrets of Lake Elsinor, the approximate extent of the mysterious entrance after the sun rose, and the affairs of the Enchanted Garden, but how could there be so many people from other places in the small town of Bonn" Lilith is not very old, but she is by no means an ignorant girl who grew up in a dangerous and oppressive environment, and she is very suspicious that those outsiders are also because of magical relics.
Sara sighed softly, "The manuscript we got is incomplete, so we need Mr.
Evans to look for background information from historical documents to interpret it."
It is likely that they were given the complete manuscript. ” "I don't know if there are any official magicians or knights in there," Lilith said worriedly, because of the way the manuscript was obtained, she didn't have any doubts about the spread of the manuscript.
Sara looked at her feet, as if she wanted to see the first floor of the tavern directly through the floor, and then shook her head: "Gentlemen of this rank, how can I see that only those reckless adventurers with muscles in their brains have exposed their strength. ” For the adventurer with the strength of the knight's squire, Sara didn't pay attention to it at all, this is the confidence that belongs to the magic apprentice.
"Then we won't be able to get in tomorrow," Lilith asked hesitantly.
Sarah's expression changed in a complicated manner, and it took a while before she replied, "Let's take a look first, there's no need to fight with them, and the matter of the spread of the manuscript seems to be a little wrong, too many people really know about it."
We can't be in a hurry, the ruins entrance will be there for twelve hours anyway. ” He was sharper than his sister, but greed kept him reluctant to leave.
Lucien was under their window, leaning against the wall of the back door of the tavern, looking at the stars in the night sky and calculating intently with the nearby terrain he had figured out before.
Because this is a legendary-level maze lock, there are many "parameters" to consider, and Lucien calculated for half an hour before determining the location of the entrance.
When he finished the calculations, Lucien felt that he was dizzy and his brain was swollen, which was too draining.
Fortunately, there was still some time before the Maze Lock was opened, and Lucien hid in a dark corner and quietly recovered.
Just after three o'clock in the morning, Lucien, who had completely recovered his mental and physical strength, came out of the dark shadows and cautiously sneaked towards a civilian house in the town.
There wasn't much light on the night, and Lucian, dressed in black, seemed to melt into the darkness.
A slight magic fluctuation of the "Switch" appeared, and the closed door opened silently, and Lucien flashed into the house and locked the door with his hand.
There was a man and a woman sleeping soundly in the bedroom, completely unaware of the stranger's sneak in.
When Lucien came in, he sat quietly on the wooden bench in the living room, without any other movements, and seemed very leisurely.
But in fact, Lucien was silently counting the time, and when ten minutes were near, he suddenly got up and threw himself into the shadows in the corner of the living room.
The shadow looked normal, but when Lucien came into contact with it, the whole person became illusory and transparent, and then completely merged into the shadow and disappeared.
Within ten seconds, the shadow was gone.
As soon as he threw himself into the shadows, Lucien felt as if he had passed through a thick curtain and was experiencing intense dizziness.
When the dizziness recovered, Lucien was surprised to find that he was still standing in the living room of the civilian house just now, and the things around him were exactly the same as before.
"Didn't enter the maze" Lucien looked around strangely, and soon realized that something was wrong.

In the house, everything has lost its original color, leaving only black, white, and gray, and the darkness of the night has also become gray, making people have indescribable palpitations.
Lucien looked closely, and found that the sleeping man and woman in the bedroom were also gone, and the whole room was shrouded only in a cold, lifeless gray.
Pushing open the door and cautiously walking out into the street, the whole town of Bonn was once again in its entirety, except that everything had turned into a black, white and gray color, silent and cold, like a pale gray painted in the black-and-white photograph Lucian had seen in his previous life.
"And I deliberately walked hard without the slightest sound of footsteps, as if I had entered a black and white silent movie."
In the utter silence, Lucien muttered to himself, but still no sound came out.
Thinking back on the experience just now, and the actual touch when he pushed the door open, Lucien probably understood that he had really entered the lock, but it was so strange and mysterious inside, making people feel full of depression and panic, which was not at all what Lucian expected.
As an astrological apprentice magician, Lucien looked up and habitually searched for stars, but the sky was gray, with no stars, no silver moon, and no sun.
Through the reflection in his soul, he sensed that there was still a connection with the main star of fate, and Lucien was a little relieved, not to mention that magic could be used normally, at least he could feel the existence of the main material world, and he was not completely isolated in the locked world.
There were no humans, no wild dogs, no birds, no insects, no breezes, no colors, everything seemed to freeze in oppressive silence, Lucien walked slowly down the gray street, although he maintained his composure and concentration, but the strings of his heart were tightened, for fear of strange enemies and changes suddenly appearing.
According to the arrangement of the Lost Locks, Lucien determined the location of several enchanted gardens and walked towards Lake Elsinore on the other side of the "Grey Bonn Town".
Suddenly, Lucien, who was holding the "vigilant" sword, stood on end with sweat all over his body, and a cold and cold infiltrating feeling flowed in his heart, so he suddenly looked sideways to the side, and was ready to dodge.
The door of a house on the side of the street slowly opened, and a girl of seven or eight years old with two pigtails stood in the doorway with empty eyes, and she was also left with only three colors: black, white, and gray.
The little girl smiled, but her eyes were still empty, and she didn't know who she was looking at.
In the room where the shadows disappeared, two dark shadows inexplicably appeared, and after searching everywhere to no avail, they left the door and ran towards a hidden place on the shore of Lake Elsinor.
"High Priest, as you ordered, we found out that the guy with the moonlight blood did enter Bonn, but he suddenly disappeared."
One of the dark shadows reported to the mysterious man in the silver robe on the altar.
Ilya, who was in a silver robe, sneered, "This little fish is really here.
As long as he hasn't left, be patient and don't ruin your plans because of him.
To the guy who betrayed us, we must let him be treated with the most solemn hospitality. ” To be continued:
