Throne of Magical Arcana

Rafaty, Gossett and other strong men quietly returned to Alto with the night watchmen. The city in the darkness was still peaceful and quiet, no different from when they left.

At this time, Cardinal Vera Amorton suddenly stopped in mid-air, turned his head and told the code-bearer: "Salvador, take your team of night watchmen to the Black Forest of Melzer to help Ms. Camille search for Her Royal Highness." She is Wa The de facto titans of the Orielite Inquisition.

Before Salvatore could answer, Earl Hayward, the deputy head of the Violet Knights, asked in surprise and worry, "What happened to Her Royal Highness?"

Amerton said without any emotion on his dull and beautiful face: "It is said that Verdi colluded with members of the Magic Council to assassinate the princess. At present, Her Royal Highness has escaped and hid in the Black Forest. Ms. Camille is looking for her."

Rafaty and Hayward questioned at the same time: "Is the intelligence accurate? Is it really Verdi's rebellion?"

The other powerful nobles who followed to Lake Elsinore were equally surprised, but what they were surprised didn't seem to be Verdi's assassination of Natasha.

"Cardinal Sard told me just now." Amorton only told the source of the information, and Hayward and others no longer doubted it.

So, Hayward said with a gloomy face: "I will also go to help find Her Royal Highness."

Although he is blond, handsome, tall, and full of masculinity, he looks like a young man in his twenties, but he is actually over one hundred and sixty years old. He has experienced countless battles and conspiracies, and now he smells a Bad "taste", it doesn't seem to be a coincidence that I waited for someone to go to Lake Elsinore.

Salvador, the code-bearer, then replied: "My lord bishop, your will is our will. I will lead the team to set off immediately. Only the truth lasts forever."

"Only the truth endures." Amorton drew a cross on his chest.

In the Black Forest of Melzer, relying on Aaron's special blood ability, it didn't take long for Todd and the two to see the devastated hag aloe.

"Here they use hag aloe vera to stop the bleeding and eliminate the smell." Todd was also trained as an orthodox knight. "Aaron, can you tell where they are fleeing?"

Aaron checked the remaining traces in the nearby shadows, and his neatly trimmed mustache moved: "Master Baron, the shadows told me that they didn't leave."

"Didn't leave..." Todd held the long sword vigilantly and looked around, and then came to his senses: "They left with the help of the river!"

Hag aloes grow near water sources, so there is a river that is neither big nor small, meandering towards the Marsol River. According to Todd's speculation, the two people they were tracking were lying directly in the river and drifting down the river: "They have a strong ability to get rid of tracking, and they have the advantage of the terrain of the Black Forest, but they are still being chased closer and closer by us. This is likely to make They became suspicious and suspected that we had unique tracking methods."

Aaron's expression was serious: "After entering the water, I can't communicate with the shadows." He is not yet a great knight and cannot use the underwater shadows.

Todd didn't panic, but smiled and said: "The speed of the water current and the knight's running is very different. If they keep drifting, we will be able to catch up quickly, and if they land halfway, they will definitely leave water stains and other traces. We separated Follow both sides of the river, and don't miss anything."

"But it would be a waste of time..." Aaron knew that it would be very troublesome to search carefully for the traces of the enemy's landing, but he and Todd were not magicians and did not have all kinds of magical magic, so they could only rely on this stupid method .

Todd jumped to the opposite side lightly: "Don't worry, we are all lightly injured and much faster than them. The advantage is on our side. A little delay is nothing." He was cut in half by Wynn's nose and The mouth has almost recovered.

The two began to search carefully along the river.

…………

In the Black Forest of Melzer.

After drifting in the river for a short time, Lucien and Natasha quickly left and continued to run deep into the forest.

"Lucien, you look really embarrassed." Natasha smiled and teased while lying on Lucien's back. Although her knight uniform was seriously damaged, it was made of high-grade materials after all, and it was not like Lucien's. There was an embarrassing situation where the clothes were drenched and clinging tightly, but the long purple hair was dripping down, making Lucien's neck itchy.

Lucien looked at the black robe that was still dripping, and used a strange shrub that looked like dry grass to deal with the dripping water, and said with some concern: "I don't think this will completely get rid of the enemies behind."

In fact, there are a few special magics in the first ring of magic that can help dry clothes and deal with traces, but Lucien was focused on analyzing "Starlight Shield", "Magic Missile", etc. before, and didn't have time to learn those magics. Now It's too late to learn temporarily.

"They should have a unique tracking method. I'm afraid we won't be able to get rid of it completely. What we need now is to delay time and give me time to recover." Natasha was very sober and did not answer blindly optimistic: "I know all the knights around Verdi. I know, and I know their blood power, unless they have the help of magic items, they will never be able to do this, so it is likely that he secretly recruited those dark knights, maybe when I recover a little, we can do it again Counterattack, kill the dark knight who has the ability to track!"

"But I'm not sure how strong the knight following us is? What if it's Todd? What if it's really a magic item?" Lucien calmly analyzed and corrected Natasha's habitual risk-taking attempts.

Natasha raised her purple eyebrows: "But don't you think they are getting closer and closer? Don't want to do something, are you just waiting for them to catch up?" The judgment of getting closer and closer does not require a strong intuition, It can only be concluded from the lack of escape from the trace and the temporary strength comparison between the two sides.

"We need to be more sure." Lucien looked at the few stars that were about to disappear in the sky and the surrounding environment, and roughly determined the location, so he adjusted his direction, "At least until you recover to the strength of an ordinary knight .”

Natasha didn't pay attention to Lucien's small changes, and concentrated on checking her physical condition before saying: "The most serious stage of blood force backlash has passed, but I am seriously injured, and I may have to wait until the sun rises." Restored to the strength of a knight. By the way, Lucien, have you obtained any potions or materials in the ruins besides magic items?" She began to determine every possibility, and Lucien went to the ruins to find ways to improve his knight strength Potions, maybe you can get healing potions and the like.

"Are the materials useful?" Lucien hesitated for a while, but still answered like this.

Natasha nodded seriously: "Many materials have the ability to heal themselves. Although there will be serious poisoning or various sequelae without alchemy treatment, I am a great knight and should not die directly. As long as I can get rid of the tracking, even It doesn't matter if you lie down for a few months and can't move. Hehe, Lucien, you can't learn from me and eat randomly."

Lucien took a deep breath, took out the ether, goblin hair, burning powder, vampire blood, etc., and handed them to Natasha: "Catch them randomly in the magician's storage room." Lucien was very nervous about telling this lie.

When Natasha saw those materials, she was silent for a moment, then she put her head on Lucien's shoulder and smiled, "There are actually materials that can be used, both ether and vampire blood can be cured, especially the effect of vampire blood is very good. .” The laughter was hearty and clean, and there seemed to be no doubts.

These two are the materials for refining the powerful healing potion "Song of Water". It is not surprising that Lucien has such an ability, but he just asked with concern, "Will there be any sequelae?"

Natasha directly pulled out the glass tube containing the vampire's blood: "Ether therapy is effective, but it is of little use to me. And vampire's blood will have sequelae of blood burning that lasts for two to six months, and will be more afraid of the day. She took off the cork, sniffed it lightly, and then her voice became excited: "This is the blood of a high-ranking vampire, the legendary magician's collection is awesome!"

"Can it make you heal?" Natasha didn't explicitly mention the danger and pain of blood burning, and Lucien didn't ask either. It's completely irrelevant to care about these questions at this time.

Natasha took a deep breath: "Normally, I can only return to the ordinary knight rank, but if I cooperate with the special ability of the bloodline to be activated again, I can temporarily restore the strength of the ordinary fifth rank, but it will fall back to the previous level within three minutes at most. Weakness in hands and feet, and it won't come back for a day or two."

Lucien heard the eagerness in Natasha's voice, "You want to fight back against the enemies behind."

"Without Todd, three minutes is enough for me to kill all the following knights." Natasha's tone became serious, but she immediately laughed: "But I will ask Lucien to continue carrying me like this."

"But what if it's Grand Knight Todd?" Lucien calmly proposed other possibilities for Natasha.

Natasha smiled softly: "At that time, I will be responsible for leading Todd and the other great knights away. You can use the 'Thunder Sword' to kill all the ordinary knights, so that we won't be afraid of being tracked when we run away again."

Lucien looked sideways at Natasha who was leaning on his shoulder. Her purple eyes were bright and energetic, her lips were slightly pursed, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she shook her head and smiled, "You can lead everyone away without the Thunder Sword?" Knight, it seems that he is going to leave and never return, sacrificing himself to create a chance for me to escape."

Natasha raised her head suddenly as if she was frightened, and laughed dryly: "Why? I should cherish my life. The main reason is that you can't defeat those ordinary knights without the Thunder Sword, but I just distracted and avoided them. If you escape back again, you don’t necessarily need a level 5 weapon, ‘Vigilance’ can also be used.”

"It's too dangerous." Lucien rejected her opinion, "You hold the thunder sword, wait until we go to a place to wait, as long as there are no more than five ordinary knights chasing after me, I have a good chance of killing them .”

"Lucien, are you sure?" Natasha asked in surprise.

Lucien turned his head so that she could see the seriousness and seriousness on his face: "I also cherish my life."

"Then I believe you." Natasha didn't bother about why, and her smile was rare and peaceful.
