The walking dragon son

"Named task? Me?" Ciel pointed at himself and said in disbelief.

Ciel really couldn't figure out why the Magic Emperor appointed him to carry out the mission. Although Ciel originally planned to participate in this mission, he always felt uneasy if he didn't understand the reason.

As for the intersection with the Magic Emperor, it must have been in the black market a few days ago! But Charles didn't reveal his identity without the sense of humor, right?

And later when the thief snatched his package, Ciel just stretched out his legs to stun the thief. In the end, Huha and Asta caught the thief.

Ciel didn't even use magic during the entire process. The Magic Emperor, a magic fanatic, shouldn't have noticed!

But for this mission, the Magic Emperor appointed two people to participate, one was Asta and the other was Ciel.

Unlike Asta, who was excited about being noticed by the Magic Emperor, Ciel felt unsure.

But after setting off, Ciel finally figured it out. After all, he still underestimated the current Magic Emperor, who was truly the strongest person in this country.

Magic Emperor Julius is not only powerful, but also particularly good at discovering and cultivating talents. Ye Jian, the leader of the Black Bull, and Fankins, the leader of the Golden Dawn, were both promoted and reused by him.

Yami once said that what Julius saw was different from ordinary people.

Ciel himself also knows that he is special. Whether it is the dragon-slaying magic taught by Ignilu to control the power of a dragon in a human body, or the world magic that represents the protection of the world, it is definitely a power that has never been seen before. It's not surprising that he would notice me.

For juniors with potential, the Magic Emperor usually gives them dangerous and important tasks. And the newcomers will grow up quickly as a result.

And this mission definitely meets the requirements, it is both dangerous and important, that is, exploring the Demon Palace.

The so-called Demon Palace is a place where ancient relics are buried, similar to an ancient tomb. These relics may be lost ancient magic methods, or they may be some powerful magic tools.

Perhaps because this world pays more attention to the development of magic books, the research on magic theory and the development of magic tools are generally in a state of stagnation or even regression.

Maybe the situation in the Diamond Kingdom next door is better, after all, it is now controlled by magic scholars.

Therefore, modern magic tools are far less diverse than ancient magic tools, and their power is not at the same level. Sometimes ancient magic tools can even change the level of civilization.

A magic palace that has not been discovered before, and the magic tools in it are a huge wealth. It is very important both as research material and weapons reserve.

However, in order to protect these magic tools or powerful magic, the ancients usually set up a large number of magic traps in the magic palace. Therefore, it is usually explored by the Magic Knights.

The most important thing is that this time the magic palace is located at the junction of the Clover Kingdom and the Diamond Kingdom. Therefore, the danger not only comes from the magic traps inside the Demon Palace, but also the possibility of encountering the wizards of the Diamond Kingdom.

The Diamond Kingdom is not a friendly neighbor, because most of the country is an ore area, so the domestic resources are quite limited.

Of course, the people's lives will not be prosperous, so militarism prevails in the Diamond Kingdom. The resource-rich Clover Kingdom has naturally become the target of their invasion.

There are frequent frictions between the two countries, and one of the most important tasks of the Magic Knights is to fight against the Diamond Kingdom's army.

The Diamond Kingdom, the Demon Palace, will definitely not give up this time, and will definitely send people to explore it. And it is everyone's task to defeat those guys.

Of course, such a mission would not only be carried out by newcomers, so in addition to Ciel, Asta and Noelle, Yami also asked Lark to go with him as the team leader.

Lark's magic power is also one of the best among the Black Bulls, and his powerful thunder magic allows him to adapt to various environments.

Not only that, Lark's magic perception is very good, even the strongest among the entire Black Bull. The ability to detect enemies and detect magic traps is the strongest. He is the most suitable person for the task of exploring the Demon Palace.

If it weren't for his personality problems, Lark would definitely become a talent that every magic knight group wants.

It is this character issue that causes the most headaches! Laughing Lark, this name can be equated with the devil in familiar ears.

Asta and Noelle finally understood how deceptive this senior was.

Through Finral's magic, the three of them arrived directly at the border and quickly found the target Demon Palace.

At first, Luck was very reliable and accurately found the real entrance in the dark corridor.

After entering the Demon Palace, everyone's eyes were opened. There were magnificent buildings like altars everywhere. I don’t know how many years have passed, but the internal water circulation system is still operating.

There is no need for lighting in the Demon Palace. There are a large number of light spots floating in the air, illuminating the Demon Palace brightly.

Those light spots are nothing but manna condensed into something visible to the naked eye. Like the magic of the human body, energy particles dispersed throughout nature are called mana.

The concentration of Mana in the Demon Palace was too high, which caused this phenomenon. And because the concentration of mana is too high, the space is even distorted.

The space inside the Demon Palace is much larger than what it looks like from the outside, almost like a small city.

Ciel felt the powerful mana in the outside world and couldn't help but admire it. For magicians, an environment with sufficient Mana can promote the growth of their own magic power, but too high a concentration of Mana will cause a huge burden on the body.

The Mana in the Demon Palace is already at this level, and I really don’t know what the powerful demon zone called the restricted area is like.

While feeling the powerful mana around him, Ciel simultaneously felt the magic power fluctuations throughout the entire Demon Palace.

How to put it, it's like countless whirlpools of different sizes scattered on a calm lake.

If Ciel guessed correctly, those were magic traps. And Lark beside him must have felt it.

Asta hammered the ground with his hand, lamenting why he couldn't sense mana. But he didn't expect that under his hand was a magical trap that Ciel sensed.

The huge earth wall rose, and Asta hurriedly jumped back to hide.

Turning over the Five-leaf Clover Magic Book, Asta took out the Demon-Severing Sword and directly cut the earth wall in two.

After being triggered, Ciel finally saw clearly the operating rules of some magic traps.

The so-called magic traps are just magic that is set in advance to be activated, and is released directly after being touched by the outside world.

The magic trap itself is nothing special, but the sealing method is a bit interesting. Xiaer was determined to stay and study it carefully.

While Ciel was studying a magic trap, Lark pushed Asta onto the magic trap.

The reason why Lark did this was just to see more of the ability of Asta's Demon-Breaking Sword, so it can only be said that he went too far.

Not only that, Lark also actively triggered the magic traps around him, even the one in front of Ciel.

With Lark's joyful laughter on one side and the magic constantly being triggered on the other, the three of them felt physically and mentally exhausted.

"Following this person... you will definitely die!" Even Ciel couldn't help but think so.
