I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 109 Chapter [-] Instinctive Reaction
There was a sudden change on the rooftop. Count Hummels, who was talking and laughing with them just now, was very normal, and suddenly began to cast spells like crazy, attacking the people around him.

Because Christina hosted a lot of nobles today, and the contracted servants and guards of these nobles also ate and rested in another area, so in the main buildings here, the monitoring level of the protective circle is set at a very low level to avoid accidental injury.

Earl Hummels' magic level is only at the level of a 1st or 2nd level magic apprentice. Even if he casts a spell, it does not reach the magic shock that triggers the monitoring of the magic circle.

Hummels' magic attack didn't have any tricks either. The fire magic was just a burst of flames all over his body. It looked like he had failed to cast the spell, and it just scared the surrounding nobles to scream.

As for Christina, before the flame appeared, she was rolled to the ground by Kaios.

And when Kaios turned around and stood up, he saw that Count Hummels had been kicked to the ground by Christina's contracted servants, but Count Hummels did not give up casting spells, and was still desperately using magic, even if the magic Obviously, he couldn't hurt the top-level powerhouse in front of him at all.

Kaios hurriedly made a noise, telling the contracted servant to show mercy and not to hit hard, while he quickly ran towards Earl Hummels.

Of course, the contracted servant had already kept his hand, after all, the other party was the earl, and the current state was obviously not right.

"Baron Keos, be careful..." the contracted servant reminded.

However, Keos didn't care about the sporadic flames that hadn't fully cast the spell, and walked directly to Hummels who was lying on the ground while being suppressed, and covered his eyes with his hands.

Surprisingly, the moment his hands covered his eyes, Count Hummels fell silent.

"He is a symptom of magic backlash, do you have a forbidden magic circle here?" Kaios said quickly.

The contracted servant turned to look at Christina, and the countess nodded to her before she said to Kaios: "There are in the basement."

Caios immediately understood that it was probably a dungeon or something.

Earl Hummels, who was quiet for a while with his eyes covered, continued to struggle again, and the magic power kept overflowing all over his body, and he did not condense the spell according to the rules.Because his level is very low, the elemental explosion caused by the dissipated magic power can't hurt anyone, but his own skin began to ooze blood, entering the stage of magic phagocytosis.

Soon under the command of the contracted servant, several guards rushed over and carried Hummels down.

Kaios turned around and greeted Christina and Qing Cang Lixiao, and they went downstairs together.

Before going downstairs, he heard several nobles who had just come up with Hummels discuss with some fear: "Sure enough, practicing magic is dangerous. It's too scary. Earl Hummels was fine just now, and suddenly... "

Kaios did not refute them, but he knew that normally speaking, it is more difficult to cultivate magic in an ordinary way, especially for Hummels who is not even a beginner magician. In the case of backlash—even if there is magic backlash, there are weak symptoms first, which will make people realize and seek control.

There is really a high probability of losing your life due to the backlash of magic power. Either the level is extremely high, such as the top level and then rushing to the super level, or when you are very old, when you try to go to the top level from a high level, there will be magic backlash, and you will lose your life. life.

Of course, more people who lost their lives because of magic backlash were those full-time farmers who used potions to transform their bodies, built-in magic stones and energy storage conversion devices.

As for Earl Hummels, it was obviously different from those two situations, and Kaios had some guesses right away.

"I'll go check on the situation too." Qing Cang Lixiao also told Christina, and went downstairs right after Kaios.

But just after she left for a while, she ran back quickly.

"What's the matter? Baron Keos won't let you follow?" Christina asked strangely.

"No, he asked me to tell you, before informing Earl Hummels' house, first notify the Holy Blessing Palace." Qing Cangxiao said in a low voice, obviously avoiding the nobles who came up with Hummels.

Christina was a little surprised, but her expression didn't change, and she nodded slightly.

Qing Cang Dawn immediately turned back and went downstairs in a hurry, chasing after him. Obviously, what she was interested in was not the situation of Earl Hummels, but the situation of Caios.

Looking at the back of the light disappearing at the stairs in the light of dawn, the countess thought deeply.

"Your hand..." A contracted servant next to him said carefully: "May I ask the big doctor to come up and treat you?"

Christina froze for a moment, raised her hand, and found that the back of her hand was a little scratched, um, not only the back of her hand was scratched, but the gorgeous dress was also a little damaged, but the golden stockings were sophisticated equipment, so there was a certain The physical defense ability, all without the slightest damage.

"Let the big doctor go to the basement first, he should be needed over there, and I will go there in a while." Christina said casually, looking at the wound on her hand.

She briefly appeased the few nobles who went upstairs with Earl Hummels and were terrified, and told them not to spread the matter, let other guests know, and asked the butler and the chief guard to come over and explain After a few words, he went to the basement to see the situation of Count Hummels.

There are not only forbidden magic circles in the basement here, but also forbidden spirit circles, double forbidden magic circles, and various other special magic circles. Just as Keos guessed, this place is used to imprison and dungeons of interrogation.

This is the configuration that only certain lords with relatively large numbers of territories, people, and contracted servants will have.

When Christina entered the dungeon, Hummels in the room equipped with the forbidden magic domain was already lying on a temporary bed and calmed down.

But looking at his lifeless eyes under those half-drooped eyelids, the situation at this time might not be good.

"How is it?" Christina asked the big doctor in the room.

The great doctor with a level 11 high-level magician had a serious expression, shook his head and sighed: "It's the magic backlash. Although the physical damage is serious, there are ways to recuperate and heal him, but his driving collar and body spirit are gone. If it is destroyed, even if it is recuperated, it may still be dementia."

"Why is this?" Christina frowned. "Isn't Earl Hummels' level of magic power just that of a magic apprentice? Could it be that he has practiced some unusual magic?"

The big doctor looked at Kaios who was standing across the bed with some admiration, and said, "Earl Hummels was cursed by someone, and the effect of the curse just broke out. To be honest, although I just felt that Hummels The backlash of Earls' magic power was too sudden and violent, and something was wrong, but I didn't see anything wrong for a while. It was Baron Keos who reminded me that I discovered that there were traces of a curse. This curse is quite powerful... this I'm afraid there are shadows of some secret organization in the Western Realm, Lord Earl, we probably have to inform the people in Shengyou Palace."

Christina also glanced at Kaios and said, "It has been notified."

Not long after, a group of disciplinary knights entered Brilliant Manor.

But in order not to disturb other guests, this team of disciplinary knights was secretly brought into the dungeon.

After Earl Christina's doctor briefly told the captain of the disciplinary knights who led the team about Count Hummels' situation, Keos took over the conversation and said to the captain: "This curse is not small. Possibly, it is related to the earlier 'Holy Law Church'."

Upon hearing this, the captain of the disciplinary knights immediately understood what he meant, and took it seriously, and immediately sent someone back to Yulang City to report the situation to Chief Judge Pan De.

Earl Hummels handed over to the disciplinary knights to watch, and the big doctor was guarding, so there was no need for Kaios, Christina, and Qing Cang Dawn to stay in the dungeon.

But after such an incident, she didn't feel sleepy for a while, so Christina proposed to have a drink.

Hearing that Christina said to find a place with a better view, Kaios originally thought that he would go back to the rooftop over there, but to his surprise, Christina took the two of them to the top of another building. There is also a viewing platform, but it is much smaller than the previous one, like a small pavilion, and there is a roof, which is probably for people to use in rainy days or during the day.

The height of the building here is not as high as that of the previous building, and the angle is also quite different, so the overall scenery that can be seen is naturally worse than the roof of the previous main building.

So Keos thought that the reason why Christina brought them here was because after what happened before, she didn't want to go back there tonight, so she had to settle for the next best thing.

But soon, Kaios discovered that he was too young...

The three of them sat down, and the servant came to put the wine, juice, and snacks on and then exited. Christina suddenly snapped her fingers, and then... this pavilion-like space actually started to rise into the air.

This thing is actually a magic device, and even the entire viewing platform below is a matching magic circle, supporting the sky-lifting of the roof.

Damn it!Brilliant Earl is worthy of being Brilliant Earl, he really knows how to play!

Kaios couldn't help standing up, holding the handrail of the pavilion and looking out - he just discovered that the pavilion has a door and a fence up to the waist, which seems to be deliberately separated from the surroundings, which is a bit weird , I didn't expect...it's really an independent space.

As they climbed higher and higher, as far as they could see, the height of the platform was much higher than that of the previous day. This way of enjoying the scenery without dead ends was much more enjoyable than that of the viewing platform just now!

But Keos instinctively began to think about the magic principle of this thing, how much it cost to manufacture, and how many magic coupons would be consumed once it was opened.

It feels like every minute you stay in the air, the consumption of magic coupons is a terrible number.

He feels now that the numbers "-100" and "-100" are jumping on the "head" of this floating pavilion at any time...

"Baron Keos, thank you just now." Christina said.

Kaios turned back and smiled wryly: "Actually, I was a bit redundant. As for the situation of Count Hummels just now, even if you don't do anything, you can't hurt Count Christina, oh, and your contracted servants are all A top-level powerhouse probably wouldn't let sparks splash on your clothes... On the contrary, it was me that made your clothes dirty and your hands scratched."

Just now in the dungeon, when he was waiting to punish the knight, he saw Christina asking the big doctor to heal the scratch on the back of his hand, so he knew that it must have been obtained when he rolled around holding the countess.

Christina smiled and said: "At that time, you didn't know how much threat Earl Hummels would pose. You immediately thought of saving me. I must be grateful for this kind of intention."

Qian Cang Dawn asked curiously: "Baron Keos, why did you realize that there was danger so quickly before? I see that you rushed out to hug Christina faster than her contracted servant of the top-level Holy Spirit Guard. "

"Oh, that's right. You should know about the 'Holy Law Church' before, right? Later, Shengyou Palace asked the lords and nobles to check themselves. I found that there were several in my territory, and then I found that they would give some of them Those who practice talent and join the "Holy Law Church" cast a curse, which can cause them to trigger effects such as "aura rushing to the brain" at any time. My family's healer and I have studied the cursed people and summarized some characteristics .Although we haven’t researched the type of curse that triggers ‘magic backlash’, the general characteristics are still the same, and there will be some abnormal behaviors before the outbreak.”

As Caios said, he gave some examples of Earl Hummels's subtle abnormal behavior.

But in fact, these abnormal behaviors were recalled by Keos after the event, summed up, and forcibly applied.

What really made him instantly aware of Hummels' anomaly was the halo behind his head.

After saying those few words on the rooftop, the halo at the back of Count Hummels' head suddenly turned completely gray.

Normally, for people who don't know him or have seen him at all, it's more normal for the aperture to be all gray.For those who know him, unless it is because of what he did that caused the other party's perception of him to be undergoing a strong change, and the aperture just fades to gray, this kind of all gray situation will appear.Otherwise, whether it is positive or negative, there will be some other colors.

But at that time, Hummels suddenly had no reason and the aperture was all gray, without any gradual process.

He had only seen the speed and pattern of this change when he interrogated a suspected contracted servant guard not long after he first crossed.

Seeing that Christina was about to walk in front of Hummels, he instinctively felt that this was an attack on the Countess, so he almost instinctively jumped up and rushed towards the Countess.

After listening to Keos' explanation, Christina and Qing Cang Lixiao were not too surprised. After all, just now in the dungeon, Keos told the captain of the disciplinary knight that the curse might come from the "Church of the Holy Law".

"Why did Count Hummels have an attack just at that time? Could it be that it was aimed at Tina... against Count Christina?" Qian Cang Lixiao said with some doubts.

"I don't think so." Kaios said, he had thought about this issue just now, "This curse should be mainly aimed at Earl Hummels himself, because his magic level is too weak, it is unlikely Inflicting harm on other people. Also, I think the curse was triggered by accident, probably not intended by the people behind it."
