Chapter 52 The Scream of the Bat
The sultry night is filled with a depressing atmosphere, waiting for a heavy rain to come.
Lucien chose a completely different road from last time. It took more than ten minutes to walk to the abandoned house with tall willow trees in front of the door.
However, Lucien did not go out directly, but observed secretly. In the shadow of the willow tree, there were three guys wearing black robes and hooded faces. Judging from their height and size, one was Smith, and the other was Lucien who was not sure that he was a magic apprentice I had met last time.
After walking around the shadows nearby, Lucien did not find an ambush, but he did not relax. After returning to his original hiding position, he accurately took out a black, strange-shaped casting material from the row of small pockets lined with his belt.
Then Lucien opened his mouth, as if he was about to recite the spell, but no sound was made. Only the casting material in his palm began to shake quickly, getting faster and faster, and waves of invisible fluctuations spread out from it to the surroundings.
"The Scream of the Bat", Lucien created his own first magic.
It was constructed by Lucien based on the principle of ultrasonic "exploration", which is a biological version of radar. Ultrasonic waves are used in combination with the apprentice-level magic "detection magic aura", and mental power to check whether anyone is hiding around.
When Lucien learned "detecting magical aura", he knew that magic apprentices and formal magicians had many magical means to hide their magical aura. However, below the sixth ring, all methods to cover magical aura require that they have no gain form and defensive magic is at the same time, unless it is a constant magic effect. Therefore, under normal circumstances, after releasing the magic that covers their own aura, there is no cracking of other exploration methods, so "Bat's Scream" is of great use.
Of course, if magicians with strange means know in advance that there is a magic "Bat Scream", there is still a way to avoid it. At least Lucien knew that it could be transformed into a virtual body, spiritual body, and then cast magic to cover up his own spiritual light. Therefore, in the battle of the magician, the reasonable choice of magic is also a large part of his own strength.
If it weren't for apprentice magic, there was very little magic about light, and Lucien even wanted to construct infrared-type magic that detects heat. After all, more reconnaissance magic is more safe.
Flashes of ultrasound waves spread like water waves centered on the black spell casting material in Lucien's hand. Whenever an obstacle is encountered, the waves return to the black irregular spherical material, allowing the surrounding scenes to gradually appear in Lucien's mind, even in the dark, as clear as during the day.
[With me as the center of the circle, within a radius of one hundred meters, except for the inability to be inspected in the house, there are only some mice without magical aura.] Lucien judged the effect of the investigation, and regretted that he did not create infrared magic, otherwise he could also see it in the house. [Wait, there is an owl on that tree. Yes, it is Doro. On the tree over there... there is a crow, hehe, crow.]
After seeing this crow, Lucien relaxed a lot. Judging from his experience last time, the owner of the crow should be more suspicious and unsure of the person who will not take action. During this period, he did not act, had no contact with anyone, and had definitely not exposed any information. It seems that he still wanted to test and observe himself.
After the end of the "Bat's Scream" magic, the black magic material in Lucien's hand turned into a pile of yarn, slowly falling from the gap between his fingers to the ground.
This is the "pituitary gland of a bat". Lucien's own mental power cannot support ultrasound that exceeds a certain level, and can only rely on the organs of the bat casting material to complete the entire magic.
Just as Lucien was about to continue observing for a while, and when there was no other abnormal situation, he went out to meet Smier and the Sage, another magic apprentice suddenly made a voice: "Dear Professor, I think you should have arrived nearby. If you don't want to come out, you may have seen me. In fact, the person who discovered the traces of evil creatures this time was my teacher. He expressed his kindness to you and hoped to communicate with a profound magician like you."
Deliberate changes cannot cover up the special hoarseness of her voice. She is a magic apprentice "White Honey".
After hearing her words, Lucien judged and walked out of the shadow on the back of the house, as if it was highlighted from the darkness, slowly walked under the willow tree: "Thank you to your teacher, although I know that there are eyes staring at us on the tree, but I still hope to express my gratitude to him formally through you."
"Mr. Professor, how do you know?!" Bai Mitang was so surprised that she almost forgot to change her voice. She turned her head to look at the tree, but in the thick darkness, she could not see anything. [How could he discover Ashley? In this darkness, she also covered up the magical light.]
For this professor, Bai Hoeng felt even more mysterious and weird.
The crow seemed to be hit by lightning and almost fell from the branch. Fortunately, it spread its wings in time, hovered for a week, and went away in another direction.
The Sage and Smier also did not expect that they would be followed by the magician's pet, staring at them, and couldn't help but tremble. If they were malicious magicians, they would be in danger. They looked at Bai Honey, and their cold voices were filled with anger: "You need an explanation."
Bai Honey was very upright and apologized sincerely: "I am very sorry to hide it from you. You can get a gift. The teacher just wants to meet Mr. Professor. If he encounters danger when catching evil creatures, the teacher can also help through Ashley, but now Ashley has left."
As for observing the strength of the mysterious magician "Professor", she did not say it, but everyone present understood.
For a formal magician, the Sage and Smire expressed their attitude with anger, there was actually not much solution. The gap in strength was too big. If you kill the Honey Candy for this matter, maybe the crow would fly back and kill him immediately. Therefore, after seeing Honey Candy apologize and promise to apologize, both of them nodded: "I hope there will be no such thing again in the future. This is Alto. This happens, your teacher will be considered a church spy and will become the enemy of all magicians and magic apprentices. Last time the witch and the magician from the headquarters of the Magic Council were ambushed by the church, and many magicians and magic apprentices suspected that there were spies inside."
Lucien had already walked in front of them, his husky voice as if he was grinding a rusty iron sword: "You can tell me where the evil creature is."
"In the old house of Baron Laurent in the noble district, no one inspires blood power for three consecutive generations and cannot hold the important position of the principality. It has declined. There are very few servants in the whole old house, very deserted. Some time ago, when Ashley flew by at night, he heard a noisy sound inside. Due to curiosity, it flew down and looked, and found that there was a grand party inside, with sex men and women everywhere. On the small altar in the middle, someone was trying to collect this power. The man was Baron Laurent. From him, Ashley smelled a little evil creature." Bai Honey explained the discovery more clearly because he was worried that the professor would misunderstand:
"After a period of observation, the teacher confirmed that they will hold another party tonight, and it should be the critical moment for the sacrifice."
The sage nodded, and his old voice was filled with emotion: "Many of these nobles, when there have been no knights in succession and cannot obtain holy water from the church, will find various ways to stimulate bloodline power. Even if they know they are tempted by devils and demons, they will take risks." He seems to have seen many such things.
If you can become a noble, both the title and the territory are inherited from hereditary inheritance. Unless you violate the first ten articles of the sacred law, you will be deprived of the title and territory by your own lord. However, if no one has stimulated the bloodline power for several consecutive generations, it means that the family has begun to decline and will be swallowed up by people openly and secretly through various means. In the end, there will be only one title and a bankrupt noble. Such a noble, even if it is not deprived of it, will be forgotten. In the end, it will be no different from a commoner.
Lucien also had his own judgment on the incident, thinking that it was the "Silver Horn" cult after nearly two months of quieting: "Do you know the strength of that evil creature? How can you go to the noble area?"
The aristocratic area is surrounded by inner city walls. At this time, the city gates have been closed long ago, and the soldiers can only be opened by the nobles living inside.
"The teacher judged from the altar specifications that he should be a low-level devil of ordinary knights. However, as long as the sacrifice is destroyed before it is completed, it only projects the level of a high-level knight attendant." Bai Mitang felt that this matter was not dangerous, but he and the wise man and others were sure to eliminate the devil projection of this kind of strength. The professor was very powerful, and he didn't know how many times he was a formal magician.
The sage followed and said, "White Honey Candy doesn't know how to contact the owl, so through me, I happened to know a secret passage that can enter the noble area at night, so I followed them together to lead the way for you, Mr. Professor. With your last guidance, my spell model has been almost completed. If Mr. Professor allows me, I want to take action for you. This level of enemy does not need you to take action."
The wise man is very grateful to the professor. When the teacher who knew Bai Mitang was still doubting the professor's strength and wanted to observe this matter, he suddenly felt a little scared, afraid that the professor's powerful image in his mind would be shattered, and afraid that the professor would be killed by Bai Mitang's teacher because of his exposure of his strength, so he had no object to ask for advice in the future. So under the influence of the two emotions, he suggested slightly impulsively.
Lucien was worried that the involvement of the "Silver Horn" cult would cause variables in this matter. The stronger his strength, the safer he was. The sage might have magical items similar to the "Snow Avengers" on his body, so he pondered for a moment and nodded, "When the matter is over, you can ask me a question."
As long as you get the dust of a vengeful spirit and get rid of others smoothly, you will disappear in the magic circle for a while, so you will not have to worry about the fact that your strength is seen through and your strong image collapses.
"Can I help you? Mr. Professor." On the one hand, Bai Honey is to make up for the misconduct just now, and on the other hand, Ashley's crow has already flew away, and the matter of observing the professor's strength fell on her.
Of course Lucien agreed, how could he not want the hostages he sent to the door?
Smier thought for a long time. Because he was able to contact the professor, his status in the circle was significantly improved. If he was snatched away by the sage and white honey, he would lose his relationship with the witch and professor in succession and his strength was relatively poor in the circle. He would probably become more and more marginalized in the future, which would be detrimental to the progress of his strength. So he also begged to go.
Then, under the leadership of the sage, Lucien and others walked towards the noble area.
