Chapter 56 The Night Watch

While discovering the night watchman, Lucien immediately threw the fire glue tightly in his hand at him.

The magic carried by the "Ice and Snow Avengers" ring has been used, and the fire glue has become Lucien's most powerful method. So when he was running in the heavy rain just now, he held a tube of fire glue in both hands, and he would throw it out immediately whenever he found the enemy.

"If the 'Bat's Scream' hadn't been very poor in the detection of heavy rain and thunder, I could have discovered him in advance and avoided him." After throwing out the fire glue in his right hand with caution and change, Lucien quickly moved towards the entrance of the secret passage in front of the left.

When the night watcher saw Lucien, he also stretched out his hands. A pair of dark gloves seemed to be able to swallow up all the light. As a night watcher who had been fighting with various dangerous creatures in the dark for a long time, his reaction was not slower than Lucien.

The first tube of fire glue was directly held by the night watchman with his hands with dark gloves. It was about to explode under the influence of mental power. It seemed to be extinguished under the control of the dark gloves, and there was no violent explosion, and no flames that depended on the body and were difficult to extinguish were ignited.

The black gloves worn by every night watchman in the church are excellent magic items, engraved with the corresponding level of the forbidden magic array. Due to the number of black glove items, the number of night watchmen in the church has always been small. In addition to relying on magic items, each night watchman is also equally strong, including high-level knight attendants, priests, knights, engraved dark knights, evil creatures, and even magicians.

The Night Watcher had just caught the first tube of fire-fire glue, and Lucien's second tube of fire-fire glue flew over, but the power of the tube of fire-fire glue seemed insufficient. It did not hit the body of the Night Watcher, but fell in front of him and landed on the ground, and exploded suddenly. A ball of burning fire balls rushed up and burned on the night watcher who had no time to react. At the same time, it ignited the caught fire-fire glue, allowing it to react and explode.

With a bang, the night watchman was blown away, and the colloid stuck to the night watchman and burned violently, and it could not be extinguished by the heavy rain.

Lucien did not check the results of the Fire Glue, and quickly moved to the entrance of the secret passage, cast magic, and turned on the mechanism.

Suddenly, a chirping that seemed to sound from the bottom of his heart appeared in Lucien's ears, carrying a natural oppressive force of the top creatures in the food chain, which made Lucien tremble and his legs became weak. If he hadn't brought the Ice and Snow Avengers Ring, Lucien's own concentration and calmness alone would definitely not be able to deal with this oppression.

Another huge whip-like lightning flashed up. You can see the night watchman approaching quickly in the heavy rain, with a layer of burning fire glue on his body, but he seemed to be completely unaffected. His face was slightly pale, and there was a thin magma-like blood flowing beside his mouth. This was injured by the power of the explosion, not the flame.

From his burned white dress and shirt, you can directly see the skin inside, which was a layer of skin covered with red scales. The flames of the blazing fire glue were isolated from the outside by this layer of skin, and they could only slightly burn the scales.

Seeing this situation, how could Lucien not understand the other party's strength? This is a dark knight who inspired his bloodline power, and his bloodline power is "Red Dragon"!

The night watchman gave Lucien a much weaker feeling than the Shadow Knight just now, but his speed and strength were still beyond his reach. If he turned around and ran, he might have caught up with him as soon as he entered the secret passage. None of his apprentice magic can stop him, let alone he has a pair of black gloves, unless he becomes a formal magician and his mental power increases greatly, he can increase the frequency that the resonant hand can simulate to the level of high-energy infrasonic waves.

Facing the night watchman running over, Lucien resisted the "Dragon Power" with the help of the "Ice and Snow Avengers", without panic, and calmly calculated the distance between the two.

"Twenty meters, ten meters..."

Then, Lucien threw out the last tube of fire glue and threw it five meters away from him. The explosion sounded, and the burning colloidal fireball flew forward under the control of Lucien's mental power, but the huge shock wave spread uncontrollably around, including Lucien's own direction.

The night watchman is not afraid of the burning of fire glue, but under the impact of the explosion, he was slowed down his forward speed, paused in place, and even took a step back.

Lucien, who was impacted in the opposite direction, just pulled his hood tightly with one hand and protected his chest with the other, and was rolled back by the wave of air.

The location where Lucien stood was the entrance of the secret passage that was slanted down, so he rolled directly into the secret passage and quickly rolled out several meters.

Lucien felt like he was hit directly by a huge hammer. His internal organs vibrated, his blood swelled, and his throat was filled with a scent of rust. A mouthful of blood was sprayed out, making him dizzy.

The explosion outside ended. The Night Watcher kicked his feet and chased towards Lucien, who had just stood up in the secret passage. At this time, the distance between the two sides was about twenty meters. Moreover, the Night Watcher was afraid of being hit by Lucien's other magical items, so he did not go straight, but moved forward serpentinely.

But the night watchman ran a few meters away and saw the black-robed magician pressing on the wall of the secret passage with one hand, holding a tube of potion in the other hand, and bowing slightly, as if he was saluting himself. Then the entrance of the secret passage collapsed, the first layer of stone turned into mud and fell down, and the stone behind lost balance and continued to fall. In just one second, the entrance of the secret passage was buried.

This is a magic circle arranged by the sage to destroy the secret passage in an emergency.

The night watchman directly hit the soil and stone of the secret passage, and broke out a human-shaped black hole one meter deep, but he had no choice but to stop and accumulate strength again. And deep in the secret passage, there was another sound of collapse.

Looking at the brown soil, smelling the "scent", and listening to the thunder, the night watchman gritted his teeth and punched the soil with a sudden punch, and said angrily: "I will definitely catch you, you damn magician."

…………

While taking "Storm" to stabilize the injury and stimulate potential, Lucien triggered the magic circle every ten meters, destroying this section of secret passage. However, after five consecutive sections, Lucien stopped causing it, fearing that the night watchman would track the ground from the exit according to the collapse.

With the potential of the potion, Lucien spent half of his time on the way, and soon left the exit of the secret passage and closed it with magic.

Then Lucien took off his black robe, transferred the things inside to the pocket of the inner linen top, and then burned the black robe with "Maris's Little Flame" so that he would not be tracked by the night watchman with a sensitive sense of smell based on the herbs deliberately added to his black robe.

The herb taste was configured by Lucien to cover up his own scent.

With the help of sulfur, the wet black robe was completely burned out. After doing all this, Lucien quickly left the house and quickly returned to his hut in the darkness and rainstorm.

It was not until he entered his hut, dried his linen tops and pants, put the potions, test tubes, etc. into the laboratory, and hid the casting materials in the hut, and lay on the bed that Lucien breathed a little relieved.

Lucien's logic was clear before, and he was full of energy, so he maintained his potential. Now, as soon as he relaxed, he suddenly felt weak all over. His unhealed injury continued to torture himself under the slow treatment of the "storm" follow-up medicine, and he fell into a state of half-sleeping and half-awake.

Lightning and thunder, heavy rainstorms, Lucien's hut seemed to be isolated from the world, with unspeakable peace in the noise.

Perhaps it was this bad weather that made the church's night watchmen unable to track Lucien and other apprentices, and they spent the night quietly in the waterfall-like rain, until dawn.

According to Lucien's guess, the high-level powerful men should focus on the dead Baron Laurent, because it is the bloodline and power of the devil, and the sacrifice with the help of the ** power can easily remind people of the previous "Silver Horn" cult.

…………

In the early morning, the heavy rain was much lighter, but it could still be called heavy rain. The sun was swallowed up, and Aalto and the nearby areas were still dark. The poor, who could only work hard to maintain their lives every day, made various sounds in the sound of the rain.

Lucien woke up in a daze and felt very uncomfortable, so he decided not to go to the library in the morning and continue to rest, and then go to find Mr. Victor after lunch. Anyway, Piere is there, and the association's library is always deserted.

When it was breakfast, Aunt Alissa saw that Lucien did not come, so she sent Alisan to see what had happened to him. Lucien seized the opportunity and ordered Alisan to go to the library to help him ask for leave.

Afterwards, Lucien continued to faint in the sound of rain. He woke up until noon and felt a little healed. He felt that he had finally come back to life, but his body was obviously weak. Although the power of the blazing fire glue explosion was not strong, at such a close distance, Lucien was not a knight-level strongman, so he was inevitably seriously injured. Fortunately, he had refined the "Storm" potion to treat injuries.

After lunch, Lucien, who had recovered some energy, walked to Victor's home in Jisu District with an umbrella borrowed from Aunt Alissa's house. Today, it would be better to solve the problem, only three days before the last week.

…………

At 10 o'clock in the morning, in Victor's room.

Victor, who was thinking about string rhythm and his face was full of impatience and restlessness, suddenly heard a knock on the door, which made him unable to help but feel emotional and suppress it very hard.

Holding the quill pen and opening the door of the piano room, Victor saw Lot, Phyllis and Herodotus who should have come in the afternoon, and asked strangely: "Why are you here suddenly? Is there anything?"

Lott said with a puzzled face: "Mr. Victor, McCantz tells me that Baron Othello asked you to go to the association as soon as possible today, because His Royal Highness suddenly wanted to know the repertoire of the last three concerts."

As he was used to, he went to the association to practice musical instruments in the morning and came to Victor to study in the afternoon. He ended up meeting McCantz and heard this bad news.

The quill fell on the thick carpet and made no sound. Victor's face turned pale and he took a few steps back before he stood firm.

"Mr. Victor..." The three students stepped forward with concern.

Victor waved his hand, took a deep breath, and then vomited: "I get it, let me be quiet for thirty minutes before going to the association."

…………

When he arrived at Victor's house, Lucien, led by the servant who was already familiar with him, walked to the door of the house and saw the butler Ace.

"Mr. Ace, where is Mr. Victor in? I have something to ask him for." Lucien smiled and greeted the butler Ace, "You have a bad face, are you sick?"

Ace shook his head: "I'm fine, it's the master. He went to the association. Because His Royal Highness wanted to know the names of the music from the last three concerts, Baron Othello invited him to the association."

"I've been asked to go to the association to confirm the track..." Lucien was stunned for a moment, and then asked anxiously: "How long have you been gone, and how long has Mr. Victor gone?"

"I went out at 10:40 in the morning. If you wait for about half an hour, the master should be back." Ace thought Lucien had something urgent to chase him.

It's twelve to thirty-five noon now.

Lucien felt strong disappointment: "If I hadn't asked for leave in the morning, I would have met Mr. Victor in the association. Is it really a fate?"

"No, I have to go over and give it a try anyway. Maybe it's because of the heavy rain, maybe because of last night's incident, the list has not been confirmed, or it has not been sent to the princess yet. You can't just give up like this!"

Lucien thanked Mr. Ace, picked up his umbrella, rushed into the rain that stirred up mist, and ran towards the Musicians Association.
