Throne of Magical Arcana

The warm wind blows gently and the afternoon sun is warm, bringing people a lazy sleepiness.

On Segu Street, Lucien, who had changed into a different outfit, was heading to Valentin's hidden house under the guidance of Leo.

Leo, who had regained his strength, showed his good camouflage skills, which not only allowed Lucien to change the Holm-style black double-breasted long dress into a typical Shahran-style brown-red tight jacket, white tight breeches, and black boots , and using makeup methods such as smearing oil on the hair and combing it back neatly, and raising the bridge of the nose under the shadow of the foundation, Lucien looks mature for several years. A calm and dignified gentleman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

Many fled from the Shahran Empire gathered in the East Exile, so this kind of attire was not eye-catching. Lucien and Leo took the opportunity to walk through the crowd vigilantly to prevent being followed. After all, Duke Vladimir sent It has long been no secret that the assassin tried to assassinate Valentin, and if someone found that the two of them were in contact with Valentin, it would be easy to think of forging fake identities.

Although Segu City is not small, it is half the size of Alto, but the buildings are not planned and built randomly, so the streets are narrow, crowded and chaotic, but in this environment, Leo is like a fish in water, and he is very adaptable to lead Lucien With the occlusion of pedestrians and houses, the direction and streets are continuously changed to get rid of any possible tracking.

Half an hour later, Lucien and Leo, who came out of a quiet and cold alley, returned to the most bustling intersection in Segu City and walked into a grocery store.

Ignoring the surprise of the grocery store owner, Leo went straight to the stairs, and two big men with swollen faces like butchers suddenly stood out from the shadows to block him.

"Griffins above the Negnin River." Leo whispered an inexplicable sentence in the language of the Shahran Empire.

Hearing this, the two big men relaxed their guard, looked carefully at them, and signaled to Leo and Lucien to go up.

Stepping up the narrow and shaky stairs to the second floor, Lucien immediately sensed that there were dangerous magic circles around them. They seemed to be deliberately exposed to deter those who came here. As for whether there were other hidden magic hidden in the dark You have to check it carefully to know.

"As expected of a nobleman who can compete with the contemporary Duke Vladimir for the right to inherit, even if he fled to the East in exile, he can still arrange such a big deal." Lucien judged that the strength of the magic circle here is equivalent to that of Bertrand Castle, at least worth Tens of thousands of gold talers.

This Mr. Valentin seemed to have enough wealth when he fled, and he had a certain strength to protect them, so he could invite a middle-level magician to arrange it here.

The leather shoes stepped on the floor that seemed to be in disrepair, making creaking noises. In the cold and quiet corridor, only Lucien and Leo walked side by side.

The two quickly walked outside a house in the middle of the second floor, and Leo knocked on the door respectfully: "Mr. Valentin, I am Leo, and I have brought you a business."

"Come in." Valentin, who had already confirmed Leo's identity through the magic circle, replied flatly, his voice was old and tired, with a strong sense of bitterness.

Leo pushed open the door like a butler, and stretched out his hand to signal: "Mr. X, please come in."

Lucien smiled and stepped forward, seeing that the opposite window was tightly covered by thick black curtains, and only a little light came in.

This makes the whole house in a kind of gloomy and dark.

In the shadows in front of the curtains, there was a desk and a chair, and a man in a black evening dress was sitting there with his back to Lucien and Leo.

As Leo walked in and gently closed the door, the man in the shadow turned the armchair and looked at the two of them.

His blond hair was beginning to fade and thin, and his features were chiseled, rigid and rough, and obviously aged. Although he couldn't tell his exact age, Lucien judged that he was at least sixty years old, because according to Leo's description, Valentin was a fourth-level great knight when he fled to the East Exile. After the dormancy, no one knows whether his strength has improved or stagnated.

Valentin looked at Lucien and Leo with light blue slightly cloudy eyes, and said, "Pour a cup of tea for the two guests. What business do you want?"

Suddenly, without warning, an old man dressed neatly and meticulously walked out of the shadows. He bowed politely, and then went to the nearby tea room to prepare black tea for Lucien and Leo.

As Lucien's guide and temporary housekeeper, Leo replied instead of him: "Mr. Valentin, my employer wants to enter the Shahran Empire, so he needs a false identity."

"You want to pretend to be a member of the Vladimir family?" Valentin is not an idiot. If he forges his identity and finds himself, it can only be related to the Vladimir family. counterfeiters.

When he said this, Valentin's eyes became sharp, and he stared at Lucien as if he could see through people's hearts, so Lucien had no choice but to speak himself: "Yes, Mr. Valentin, I need a Vladimir The status of a collateral member of the Mill family will help me pass checkpoints and fortresses, and avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles. Excuse me, how much money do I need to pay to get you to agree?"

After being silent for a few seconds, Valentin suddenly burst out laughing: "If you have the strength to help me kill Ilyich, then I won't accept a single copper coin from you. But if you have this level of strength, there is no need to come Asked me to create a fake identity."

Ilyich is the name of this generation of Grand Duke Vladimir.

After a pause, Valentin took a cigar from the drawer, struck a match and lit it.

While watching the gray smoke slowly coming out, he said slowly: "The more fake identities are made, the easier it is to be discovered, so in the past twenty years, I have only made six copies, and the price is very expensive. Five hundred gold thalers or equivalent Shahran gold coins are needed, if you can't afford that much money, you can consider doing something for me."

Although he can apply for compensation after returning to the Magic Council for the large expenses spent on the mission, but Lucien only has gold and gems equivalent to one hundred gold tales, and the rest has long been replaced by magic potions, materials, magic spells, etc. The utensils in the teacher's cabin and the alchemy cabin.

After weighing it for a while, Lucien smiled gently: "I choose to pay money, but I don't have so much on me. I wonder if Mr. Valentin will accept magic items?"

Even if Valentin's matter was simple, there might be a hidden danger of being involved in his struggle with Grand Duke Vladimir. Therefore, if there was no other way, Lucien would never choose to do things for him.

"It's a pity." Valentin said calmly, "Mr. X, you can pay with magic items. My assessment price here is fair, and it is one of the best in the entire Eastern exile."

A magic item can effectively enhance the strength of knights and magicians. For Valentin who needs to strengthen his subordinates to protect himself, this is much better than paying money directly. After all, except for the headquarters of the Magic Council, in most places, magic Items are priceless.

Lucien took out the weakened dagger obtained from Longsan Aaron: "This is a second-level magic weapon..."

As Valentin coughed lightly, an old man with a hooked nose and a robe in the style of an ancient magic empire came out from the shadows on the other side. He first glanced at Lucien indifferently, then grabbed the dagger with his right hand. Fly into its hands.

"An ancient inheritance magician..." Lucien thoughtfully judged from the changes in the mental force field produced by his magic.

After appraising it, the silver-haired old man said: "The second-level middle-level enchanted dagger can corrode other people's weapons, and the wounds of people scratched by it are difficult to heal, and their mental strength, physical strength, and vitality are lost together, and they quickly weaken. Because there is no excessive Due to the usage requirements, the estimated price is 380 Jintales, but in view of the premium caused by the scarcity of magic items, it will take about 420 Jintales to buy."

"If I calculate by 380 gold tales, Mr. X, you will definitely find another buyer and come to me after exchanging gold coins, so let's estimate the price by 420 gold tales." Valen Jing said bluntly. He didn't have the intention of activating the magic circle to rob and kill Lucien. This amount of money can't make him desperate. If Duke Vladimir's people found this hiding place because of activating the magic circle, the loss would be ten or twenty times. At four hundred and twenty gold talers!

Hearing that the premium was so high, if it wasn't for the Magic Council's strict control over the sale of magic items, the money-obsessed Lucien would have wanted to earn the difference back and forth, so he nodded, approved of Valentin's conclusion, and then took out some more. The temporarily unused materials and the gold equivalent to 30 gold tales finally met Valentin's request.

Valentin fiddled with the dagger, took out the special Vladimir family paper, and began to write with a breath of ice and snow on his body.

While writing, he said to Lucien: "Peter Joseph Vladimir, his father is Lord Joseph, the son of Grandpa Ilyich's youngest cousin. He has been dead for many years. You pretended to be his youngest son Peter. He failed to inherit the title, and was secretly killed and disappeared when he sneaked into the Eastern exile for smuggling."

"Remember, Joseph is a miserly, alcoholic, and rude person, while Ilyich is sinister, vicious, lecherous, and perverted, and pretends to be kind and peaceful..."

Valentin talked about the internal members of the Vladimir family little by little, so that Lucien's performance would not be easily exposed. It can be seen that he still has supporters within the Vladimir family, and he even knows the characters of several knights who have grown up in recent years.

…………

After Warren left Taran Tavern and turned across a long street, the tall, muscular man next to him suddenly made a difficult and weird voice, and waves of magic waves emanated from him, causing the surrounding area to be tens of meters away. The range is rippling like sinking into the bottom of a lake.

He is not a knight, but an official magician!

Warren looked at the man with some surprise: "Mr. Real, you?"

"Master Warren, most magicians are extremely sinister, and I'm worried that he might tamper with us, or leave a mark to monitor us." Real opened his eyes and smiled, "But now it seems that he belongs to that a small part."

Warren nodded with a dark expression, and then ordered the scale swordsman next to him: "Use resources to watch them secretly, and see what they are going to do in the Eastern exile..."

Then, he returned to his garden villa in Segu City with Yarolim, Real and others.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, in Warren's study, he asked urgently with a distorted expression and joy, "Did Leo take that magician to find Valentin?"

"Yes, Master Warren." An ordinary middle-aged man who seemed to be a waiter smiled flatteringly.

After Valentin came to the East in exile, although he hid in secret, how could he hide from members of the lord council like Warren's father? It's just that he still has a lot of value, and maybe he can be used in the Vladimir family in the future. He got great benefits from the battle for the title, so the big shots in the Eastern exile kept silent, pretending not to find him, and not providing any clues to Duke Vladimir.

In these circumstances, Warren bought one of Valentin's waiters for his father, and secretly watched him.

After Valentin's waiter left, Warren calmed down, looked out the window viciously and smiled: "Hire Leo, ask Valentin for help... Is this to use Valentin's power to enter the Shahran Empire? Forge the identity of the Vladimir family, or ask Valentin to introduce nobles who have a good relationship with him secretly? Hmph, once it is confirmed that you really want to enter the Shahran Empire, I will write to tell those nobles... "

He is not a man who does not take revenge!
