Mage's Secret

As the sky gradually darkened, the street lamps on both sides of the road were lit up one by one by lamplighters, but most of the row upon row of houses behind the street lamps still exposed their dark windows to the road.

But such a scene did not make the whole city seem lifeless, on the contrary, this time was the busiest time of the year in Karen.

People came out of the safe and comfortable but isolated houses and gathered in the square in the center of the city. The lit bonfires illuminated the dark night sky of half the city.At this time, everyone seems to be integrated into one body. Whether it is a close neighbor who gets along day and night or a stranger who meets for the first time, under the exaggeration of the lively atmosphere, they are as close as family members.Young men and women hold hands in the light of blessings, promising to be with each other for a lifetime. Parents kiss their children's foreheads, grateful for another year of peace.

However, these are just the entertainment of the common people. The so-called upper class of the city is sitting in the middle of the road, riding in a luxurious carriage.These carriages drawn by beautiful purebred horses, whose exterior decorations alone make the civilians acclaim, have only one direction of travel, and that is the City Lord's Mansion, which is a few blocks away from the central square.The brightly lit City Lord's Mansion will also be very lively tonight, but it is another scene compared to the singing and dancing celebrations in the square.

But Traphael did not belong to any party. He walked alone on the street, in the dark night that the faint light of street lamps could not reach.He was hooded, and the dark cloak made him almost one with the shadows.His footsteps were soft, but it didn't matter if they were quicker or louder.

The sound of carriages rolling over the road can be heard endlessly, and the loud and cheerful singing from the square can be heard halfway across the city.These all cover up the sound he can make very well, but these don't seem so noisy on the quiet street, rather they make the street even more lonely.

Yet Traphael didn't feel all that lonely.In his original plan, he should be in his study or research room at this time to conduct his never-ending research.Or relax, go to bed early, lean on the head of the bed in a comfortable posture, have a glass of rum, and read the works of other mages until you fall asleep with the faint singing mixed in the evening wind blowing into the room.

In either case, the feeling of loneliness is no less than it is now.But that kind of quietness is what he likes, not like now, he can't ask for quietness, and none of the excitement will belong to him.

Traphael never looked forward to the festival, in fact, it is not accurate to say "never". When he was very young and ignorant, he also yearned for this joyous festival.Although being poor and weak will not improve in the slightest, and there will not be more food on the table than usual, but as if bewitched by the atmosphere called carnival in the air, he can't help being happy, even The hunger in my stomach also seemed to be a little less.

But these positive emotions that rarely appeared in his early life gradually faded away in the increasingly difficult survival day after day. Fear and despair began to linger in his heart all year round. There were incidents of bullying that he didn't want to recall, and the last glimmer of his early life was gone.It wasn't until Yadunis appeared that his mood began to become peaceful.

When Yadunis took him to travel around the mainland, he also saw various folk festivals in other countries, but when he was with Yadunis, these festivals had no meaning.They are just travelers and spectators. He can feel the joyful emotions that have various reasons but are equally intoxicating, but he can't really blend in, as if it has nothing to do with him.

After he parted with Yadunis, he never had a happy holiday. Only in those years after he learned of Yadunis' death, he would shut himself up in the bedroom during the Lando Festival in mourning for the dead. In the story, spend a whole day drinking a bottle of spirits, and send the bouquet to an unknown place with an indeterminate teleportation technique.Maybe Yadunis could receive it, maybe he couldn't, but in any case, when the time passed to the next day, Traphael would do his research meticulously as if nothing had happened.

So when it comes to the festival, Traphael has no happy memories.But no matter how bad those past events were, he never thought that he would risk his reputation and reputation to work for a demon during the carnival night of that festival.How wonderful, Traphael thought, setting a new record of unpleasant memories.

Watching the carriages pass by him, Traphael observed the various family crests painted on the outer walls of the carriages and silently recorded them in his heart, then pulled his hood lower .At this time, he suddenly remembered what Murphy said a few days ago. Murphy said that he just wanted to see the lively atmosphere in the mainland, and promised him that he would not do anything out of the ordinary.

Until then, Traphael insisted that letting a demon into the crowd was a high-risk act, but now he would rather Murphy be in the square, Traphael cursed under his breath-there are no towering walls and squares in the square. Strictly guarded.

When he was stopped by the guards outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, he walked slowly around the walls of the City Lord's Mansion.He had been here several times before, but all of them were very formally invited, and were respectfully welcomed in through the open door. This was the first time he looked at the mansion with the eyes of an intruder.

He had to admit that the defense measures of the City Lord's Mansion were really quite strict.For ordinary people, it is indeed an insurmountable fortress, but only for ordinary people.Whether he or Murphy, it is not difficult to break through the defense.He just wanted to sneak in without attracting anyone's attention. Murphy succeeded, but he didn't have a good idea.

Regarding the invisibility technique used by Murphy, he has been able to deduce a complete method of using it based on the relevant knowledge he has so far, but he has not yet mastered Murphy's method of covering up his own magic fluctuations.This is not a big problem if it is aimed at ordinary people who have no magical literacy under normal circumstances, but this time the situation is quite special.

This time, there are more paladins passing by in the city lord's mansion. The paladins in the temple are different from ordinary knights. Not only do they have excellent fighting skills, but they are all light spellcasters—although compared with real spellcasters, The paladins' spells are scarce, but that's enough for them to be aware of the fluctuations in magic as other spellcasters cast spells.

This means that Traphael cannot enter the Santo's Mansion through magic.

This was Traphael's biggest problem right now—his limbs weren't strong enough to scale the twelve-foot-tall, spike-topped wall.Nor was he quick enough to sneak in through the front or back doors, which were always guarded by soldiers.

So he had to use other easier methods to solve this situation.

It's easy to say, but relatively speaking.Now, he wants to sneak into the home of a celebrity who has the status of being able to receive the invitation letter of the city lord, and attend the dinner in the city lord's mansion instead of that celebrity.If Murphy was able to leave successfully, he could go back to the celebrity's home after the dinner and make some slight changes to his own memory.If the plan fails... it would be a blessing not to reveal her identity.

These celebrities with status and status will definitely not relax the security measures in their mansions, but sneaking into their homes is much easier than sneaking into the city lord's mansion. At least there are no spellcasters in these celebrities' homes.

Just be careful in the selection of people - the person you want to pretend can't be too sociable or too high-status, otherwise you will immediately be betrayed by your words and deeds as soon as you are surrounded by a crowd.But you can't be too withdrawn or your status is too low. It is an embarrassing thing for such a person to attend the banquet.What he is looking for should be a rich but vulgar person. Those nobles will not despise him because of his property, but they will disdain to be with him.In this way, he just needs to show his face in front of everyone and eat whatever he wants when he sneaks into the banquet.

It's not difficult to find such a person, and just because Traphale hates society doesn't mean he never does.When he first thought of this plan, he had already drawn up a list in his mind.Then he picked out the candidates he had just seen and had already set off, and he quickly determined the target.

So Traphael turned around and turned into the alley. After walking on these intersecting and complicated paths for a while, he stopped.Surrounded by pitch-black houses, this place couldn't be more secluded.He held out his hand in front of him, whispered a spell, and his six-foot-long staff appeared in his empty hand.

He kept chanting spells, and flicked the end of his staff on the ground. With his movements, some runes with faint blue light appeared where the staff went.There were more and more runes, and soon, a circular and complex magic circle with a diameter of about five feet was completed in his familiar movements.

But the spell he had been chanting didn't stop. He stood in the center of the magic circle and waved his staff. As the light green gemstone on the top of the staff left afterimages in the air, the magic circle was activated.

Those runes flickered with flowing luster, but this light was not dazzling, and it would not break through the cover of the surrounding houses to be noticed by people on the road, and it quickly returned to silence and disappeared into the darkness, while at the same time as the light What disappeared was the figure of Traphael.

The author has something to say: I'm so sorry...it's been cut off for nearly a month...I'm guilty...

In the first two weeks when the river crab wave came out, I was really busy. Various things and graduation projects made me have no skills. The update is so fast, although the homepage of the * website still hasn't appeared.

But I originally wanted to finish my work quickly, so I could come back and update. This is why I said in the comments last week that I was able to resume updating last week_(:з」∠)_The result is still delayed until this time ...

But I don’t know if it’s because the RP has been seriously dropped for too long or what’s the matter. I’ve messed up the things I’ve been busy with before, and the graduation project data is also messed up. In the end, I didn’t get anything done... I’m a little lost, so I want to relax for a few days ……………………………………………… The inertia is terrible………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………
