Chapter 20: The Cracks


Lucien's room is located on the third floor of the castle, more than ten meters above the ground, even if it is a formal knight, jumping directly from such a high place will hurt him, and in order not to become a target for "dry shadows" and high-level magic in mid-air, the "Feather Fall Technique" that slowly falls is not the best choice.

Therefore, Lucien did nothing at first, relying on gravity to pull and fall at a rapid speed in free fall, and then, after a calculated short time, he activated the flying technique, and with the help of the gravitational pull of the stars, he reversed the pull, slowing down the speed of landing.

Since he was not far from the ground at this time, Lucien quickly stepped lightly on the dirt of the courtyard.

The whole process is like jumping a parachute, the only problem is to calculate the exact surname, otherwise you will either spend too much time in the air, which is a bit dangerous, or the speed will not slow down enough, and it is easy to fall and injure yourself, or because the speed changes too much in a very short period of time, it will bring damage to the body.

And for Lucian, who has a strong soul and memory and calculation skills far beyond ordinary people, the problem is very simple.

The soil of the courtyard was hardened by the barrenness, and Lucien kicked his feet, quickly dodging the shattering light of different colors falling from the sky, and rushed straight to the castle gate.

Because Leo has a magic ring on his body that can activate the feather falling technique, Lucien was not worried about whether he could jump smoothly at first, but he was afraid that he would be affected by magic or withering power in mid-air, but Leo was not valued by Nikonov and Count Witte like Lucian, so he didn't have to be afraid that they would deliberately channel the cathartic power to him.

However, as soon as Lucien ran a few steps, the mental force field sensed that Leo was knocked away by Ivanovsky's punch, and fell to the dirt of the garden in the distance like a broken doll, making a loud "bump" sound.

Since Nikonov was not directly defeated by Count Werther's surprise attack, and the magic array he had temporarily arranged to cover up the movement before Lucian's move was crumbling, it had not yet reached its limit, so the big knights and knights in the castle still did not notice that the battle between Count Vitte and Nikonov was so fierce that they could not spare their hands to deal with this magic array, whether it was to strengthen the blockade or destroy it to transmit information to the outside world, they did not try.

"Ivanovsky is a big knight" Lucian, who judged Ivanovsky's strength from this punch, was quite surprised, and he didn't see it at all before.

Although trained knights can mask their strength by controlling their pace, muscle contractions, heartbeat, blood, etc., they often inadvertently exude a terrifying momentum that makes people perceive their inner terror, and in the two face-to-face conversations between himself and Ivanovsky, he behaved so naturally, like a real quasi-knight who relies on potions to stimulate the power of the bloodline, a boss who has controlled the smuggling organization for many years, and is vicious but has no strength.

"If I had attacked Ivanovsky directly at Kaliliana's manor as he had been protected by two mid-level professionals, I'm afraid it would have been me who would have died" Lucien was slightly glad that he had not acted recklessly, allowing the advantage of information asymmetry to be brought into play, and then Lucian sensed Leo groaning in pain and rolled over to stand up, while Ivanovsky jumped out of the window and threw himself at him.

After Leo was knocked unconscious by Ivanovsky's punch, he woke up due to the violent shock of the landing, and felt the pain in his head and body as if he was about to fall apart, and secretly said in his heart: "I'm seriously injured, just a high-ranking knight squire can kill me."

Even if Ivanovsky used his fist, but the power of the third and fourth level knights was so terrifying, if Leo was not in the state of the frost giant's bloodline at that time, this punch could make his head shatter like a watermelon falling from a high altitude, as if it was the case, half of Leo's face also completely collapsed, his cheekbones were shattered, blood flowed down his mouth, and the golden stars in front of him were flying all over the sky, plus he fell from a height of more than ten meters without maintaining a balance, and his internal organs and bones were seriously damaged, and he basically had no ability to fight in a short time.

The gap between a great knight and a quasi-knight is so big, even if Leo has exchanged a lot of potions over the years and improved his bloodline ability to only a thin line away from a regular knight However, compared to the serious injuries in his body, the pain in Leo's heart was even more intense, and his enemy turned out to be a great knight, which made him see no possibility of revenge through his own efforts, and was full of endless despair and sadness, as if the world was dark.

At this time, Lucian's voice sounded in his ears: "I will lead Ivanovsky away, you wait for the opportunity to escape, and then meet at the previously agreed place" The second ring of magic "telecommunication".

Leo suddenly woke up from the dark nightmarish despair, realizing that this was not the time to be sentimental, and he also had a little motivation in his heart to live, that is, to repay the old man for saving his life.

After Lucien summoned Leo, he dragged out the afterimage and ran to the castle gate.

Then, the Flameweaver's Bracelet activated, and a fireball struck the gate directly, sending out a violent explosion that sent a wave of flames.

Before the castle's Patronus array could be activated, the steel gate was blasted open by the fireball, allowing Lucien to dodge out and head west of the Urals.

Ivanovsky landed firmly on his feet, not only did he not get hurt, but the ground trembled, and then without hesitation, he ran out of the castle gate after Lucian.

Leo, an enemy who doesn't even have the strength of a formal knight, in the case of time urgency, Ivanovsky didn't even look at it, anyway, he killed Leo's whole family, not Leo killed his whole family.

This attitude of indifference caused Leo to feel a strong sadness, and he did not have the strength to even take the enemy to heart, because you have no ability to take revenge and no future of development.

However, Leo saw that Lucian's fireball technique blew open the castle gate, and at the same time, it also gave the final blow to Nikonov's improvised magic array to cover the movement, causing it to completely shatter, causing the grand knights, knights, and priests guarding the castle to hear the fierce and terrifying sound of battle.

"There can be no further delay."

Leo took out a tube of "Tempest" potion and swallowed it, stabilized his injuries, and showed his physical potential, then turned into a giant, and strode towards the castle gates.

Halfway through the run, Leo suddenly tripped over something, and when he looked down, he saw that it was Matvey's legs left behind by the toxic mist, and the black boots on them were dull but only slightly damaged.

"The lord only has a magic robe, and he is missing a pair of magic boots," Leo thought as he took out a piece of clothing and bent down to wrap and take off the magic boots, and then ran out of the castle gate with all his might Kaliliana in the room has been watching the high-energy in mid-air with a blank face, watching Ivanovsky chase Lucian out of the castle, watching the knights and big knights being alarmed, watching Leo pick up the magic boots and leave, and then her expression changed suddenly, and she cursed: "Damn Ivanovsky, you didn't remind me" So, she also jumped directly from the window, and when she was halfway down, her body began to change rapidly, and a pair of black wings grew from her back, like the evil black wings that only demons have in rumors, and at the same time, two sharp horns protruded from her forehead, delicate and lovely, and pale black scales appeared on her fair skin.

Sure enough, he was a formal knight, and it inspired the blood of a succubus With the flapping of the black wings, Kaliliana's slender legs fell to the ground, but just as she was about to glide forward, a thin line of blood appeared on her forehead, and then her body quickly withered, and she fell to the ground with frightened eyes like a dried corpse.

Count Witte hates her the most in his heart, this niece who he loves from the bottom of his heart and even helped her inherit the estate of Baron Lotnikov, will collude with outsiders to take advantage of his aging and serious illness to assassinate himself, if it weren't for the fact that he was projected by a big man when he was about to die, and knew something, I am afraid that he would have no way to go to the end of his life, and he would not be able to take advantage of this opportunity at all.

Therefore, he thought that Kaliliana was 10,000 times more hateful than Nikonov, Ivanovsky, etc., who killed Semyon, and even if he gave up the advantage he had so hard to occupy, he would kill her Anyway, at this time, the knights and the big knights had already reacted and began to use various means to inform the church and other nobles.

After overcoming the spell casting buffer, Lucien superimposed an acceleration spell on himself, slowing the distance between himself and Ivanovsky, and the two of them climbed out of the Ural City from the nearest wall, fleeing to the northwest.

Running and running, Lucian sensed that Ivanovsky had changed direction slightly.

"He's going to take advantage of the familiar terrain to outflank him," Lucien thought to himself, confused.

After escaping for a while, just as Lucian was about to take advantage of the dead of night and the cold countryside to try to kill Ivanovsky and get rid of the trouble, he was surprised to find that Ivanovsky had already run away and disappeared.

"He's not here to hunt me down" Lucian thought a little stunned, and then suddenly realized, Ivanovsky knew that he was a mid-level magician, there were many powerful items and strange magic, and it was not easy to defeat him, how could he still chase and kill so alone Originally, Lucian was worried that he was not too sure to do this, but now it seems that he took the opportunity to escape If Count Witte wins in the castle, then Ivanovsky is killing himself by staying there, and his strength and items are not able to intervene in the battle between the two high-ranking people, and he cannot help Nikonov, and if Nikonov wins in the castle, he can explain afterwards that he left after chasing and killing the magician who pretended to be Peter, and he will not be blamed in any way.

"This is really a foolproof response, and Ivanovsky was so cold, so hateful, so angry, so righteous just now" Lucian sincerely admired Ivanovsky, and there was still a big gap between his "acting skills" and him.

Shaking his head, Lucien made his way and turned towards the mines west of the city of Ural.

In the endless mountains, Lucien flew low in the gloomy silence, and mainly around the mines that he had heard about before and had to be closed due to collapses.

After choosing one of the most gloomy mines, Lucien infiltrated stealthily and silently, searching for the crack that led to the necromantic realm through the sense of the Crown Amulet.

According to Lucian's experience, the more lifeless and eerie the place, the more prone it is to such cracks.

Of course, this is not entirely necessary.

In order to have a way out at the critical moment, Lucien planned to hide in a similar place from the beginning, so that when the danger was too much to deal with, he could enter the necromantic realm for a while.

The cave was eerie and long, hollow and dead, which made Lucien, who was walking here alone, a little inexplicably palpitating.

"There's one here."

As he approached the bottom of the mine, Lucien found that there was a twisted gap near a scaffold that could not be sensed by the naked eye or mental power, and inside was the familiar breath of the necromantic realm of the crown.

Lucien, who had found a hidden place to hide near this gap, had just rested for a few minutes when he heard the sound of slight footsteps.

Then, a familiar figure cautiously crept in.

It was none other than Ivanovsky To be continued:
