407 Thanos’s Secre (1/2)

As soon as the demon disappeared, the gloomy and dim hall became bright and graceful like it had been washed clean by clear water.

”You won!” Staring at the mysterious sorcerer, Sophia waves her fist in the air, feeling rather encouraged. Meanwhile, her brain worked fast to think about how she could persuade the sorcerer to work with her.

However, Lucien did not lower his alert. Grabbing Pale Justice tight in his hands, Lucien looked around at the nobles who were still alive. He concentrated his spiritual power on Ice & Snow Medal to activate Silent Coffin at any time he needed.

Lucien knew it well how creepy and cunning a demon could be, and he believed that Pain was not an exception. It was hard to say if Pain had chosen another host among one of the nobles and was waiting for the opportunity to kill Lucien.

In fact, the best way for Lucien to stay safe was to kill all the living things in this hall. However, as the demons were produced by the most extreme negative feelings, Lucien would easily fall into the trap and get lost in his own desire of killing. Then the demons would possess him!

Lucien used his eyes to check every single of the nobles who were still alive one by one. When his eyes rested on them, the coldness in Lucien's eyes made them shiver and scared. They wanted to stay away from the young sorcerer, but they found themselves not able to move.

After that, Lucien turned to stare at Sophia's face.

Sophia's heart missed a beat when the deep, cold eyes looked at her, but she managed to keep calm as she was already mentally prepared. A sweet smile emerged on her face and her petal-like lips slightly opened, ready to communicate with the young sorcerer. No wonder what he would ask for, as long as there was something he desired, there was still hope.

She was quite confident, as she believed that there was no reason that the sorcerer would see her as an enemy who must be killed. She could leave him with the entire treasure of Thanos, as well as the secret. Also, she was not going to become the inheritor of the Gorse Family anyways, and the sorcerer did not know she was planning on killing Beaulac later.

Instead, as long as she was alive, Sophia could bring him more than what he could find in the underground palace, including the secrets of the royal family, the precious, ancient documents, the great wealth, and even herself.

The words for negotiation were right on the tip of her tongue, however, at this time, she noticed that the young sorcerer slightly looked down. She also looked down following him but to see the very obvious wet stain on her dress, and the long, wet trace on the floor left when she was climbing to stay away from the demon.

Sophia's face burned. The sweet smile turned into a distorted grin. She felt that her face was hot enough to cook an egg. She almost wanted to kill herself from the great humiliation.

Sophia annoyedly thought to herself that the sorcerer was a bastard and he was no way close to a gentleman.

Lucien was not in the mood to care about how Sophia was feeling right now, instead, he felt a bit amused. When lost all she had, Sophia failed to maintain her elegance and intelligence. But if Natasha had been here, she would definitely choose to fight until the last second of her life.

Sophia was not even close to Natasha.

In fact, Sophia had just turned into twenty, and she was already a level five caster, due to the great blood power that she possessed. If one possessed the best blood power and was also gifted, he or she would spend much fewer years than most of the sorcerers to make a great achievement, but most sorcerers could reach a higher level in a shorter period of time compared to the knights. Only a small percentage of the nobles could possess the best blood power. To acquire one top power steadily generation after generation, the ancient sorcerers had killed more than a hundred thousand people for their experiments.

But it was still just a beginning. Their future progress still relied on how they trained their own willpower, while arcanists were able to do so by exploring the truth of the world. And this was the reason why although Lucien was only a year elder than Sophia, he was already a sixth-circle sorcerer. If Sophia wanted to become a senior-rank caster, without any help from the outside, she had to spend at least ten to twenty years working on it.

A light green halo spread out. Many instantly felt very tired and fell asleep. Only Sophia was not affected.

Lucien had left the alert magic on the nobles. Once they woke up or tried to do something, Lucien would be informed immediately.

”Bring me to the secret chamber of Sun's King,” Lucien said to Sophia in low voice.

”… No problem!” Sophia was a bit surprised and she hurriedly got up from the ground, ”I can do anything for you, sir, as long as…”

She paused, for she had no idea what to say next.

Lucien nodded slightly and responded in Beaulac's voice, ”As long as you follow my orders, and if the following the orders won't kill you, I am not interested in killing you neither. We are not enemies, and now you've decided to give up the treasure. Also, I'm not staying in the empire. Is that what you want?”

”Exactly!” Sophia's heart went wild with joy. Sorcerers were really smart!

Lucien also grinned, for he had no idea at all if Sophia could survive later.
