When he opened his eyes, he found that there was only darkness in front of him.After being in a daze for a bit, he suddenly remembered what happened before he passed out.

After being in a daze for a bit, he suddenly remembered what happened before he passed out.He had followed uncle Rondo to his small manor outside Dollar City. He thought that he was a part time worker invited by uncle Rondo and he would make some money, but he was suddenly knocked out by that strong man?

He had followed uncle Rondo to his small manor outside Dollar City. He thought that he was a part time worker invited by uncle Rondo and he would make some money, but he was suddenly knocked out by that strong man?This……

This……Even if Lucian wasn't that familiar with worldly matters, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. That kind looking uncle Rondo was most likely not a good person.

Even if Lucian wasn't that familiar with worldly matters, he knew that he had fallen into a trap. That kind looking uncle Rondo was most likely not a good person.He even helped him out with his problems just to make him let down his guard and gain his trust.

He even helped him out with his problems just to make him let down his guard and gain his trust.Thinking of this, Lucian could only reveal a bitter look.

Thinking of this, Lucian could only reveal a bitter look.Before coming out, many people had warned him not to go to Dollar City alone. There were good and bad people here, a student like him who had just left school would be easy prey.

Before coming out, many people had warned him not to go to Dollar City alone. There were good and bad people here, a student like him who had just left school would be easy prey.But he thought that he was just a poor student and people wouldn't get anything from him even if they did trick him, so they wouldn't target him.

But he thought that he was just a poor student and people wouldn't get anything from him even if they did trick him, so they wouldn't target him.As long as he was a bit careful, there shouldn't be a problem.

As long as he was a bit careful, there shouldn't be a problem.But this matter told Lucian that he was too naive.

But this matter told Lucian that he was too naive.First his little bit of money was stolen by a thief and then he was tricked by someone, falling under their control……

First his little bit of money was stolen by a thief and then he was tricked by someone, falling under their control……Wait!

Wait!Lucian knitted his brows as a bit of doubt appeared in his heart.

Lucian knitted his brows as a bit of doubt appeared in his heart.The sound of metal clashing came from beneath him and he could tell that he was in a Magic Car that was moving at high speeds. It was most likely that they weren't traveling on a smooth path.

Based on this, he could tell that he had been kidnapped by someone.But this confused Lucian. Why would they kidnap him?

But this confused Lucian. Why would they kidnap him?He was just a poor student and his family didn't have any money, so he didn't have anything that people would want. What were the benefits in kidnapping him?

He was just a poor student and his family didn't have any money, so he didn't have anything that people would want. What were the benefits in kidnapping him?Even if these were human smugglers, they wouldn't care for his body. It couldn't compare to the normal children in the villages that were much prettier, right?

Even if these were human smugglers, they wouldn't care for his body. It couldn't compare to the normal children in the villages that were much prettier, right?Lucian suddenly felt a bit of fear in his heart.

Based on the current situation, he was being transported to another place and it was hard to tell where they were going.If it was like this, he might never be able to see his friends and family ever again!

If it was like this, he might never be able to see his friends and family ever again!Lucian took a deep breath, but he let out a loud cough when the muddy air filled his nose. This still made him calm down a bit.

Lucian took a deep breath, but he let out a loud cough when the muddy air filled his nose. This still made him calm down a bit.After moving his body, he found that he wasn't tied up. Lucian moved his hands around him and forced himself up.

Lucian was surprised before trying to gather his magic power again.However, it was no different from last time. The light only appeared for an instant before disappearing.

However, it was no different from last time. The light only appeared for an instant before disappearing.Lucian felt that this was very strange, but he didn't give up as he tried to gather his magic power several more times. It all ended the same way in the end.

Lucian felt that this was very strange, but he didn't give up as he tried to gather his magic power several more times. It all ended the same way in the end.After trying several times, there was an exhausted voice that rang out.

After trying several times, there was an exhausted voice that rang out."Alright, stop wasting your effort. There's a Magic Sealing Array placed in this trunk, otherwise do you think they could lock up all these magicians?"

"Alright, stop wasting your effort. There's a Magic Sealing Array placed in this trunk, otherwise do you think they could lock up all these magicians?"Lucian looked in the direction this voice came from and saw a fuzzy figure.

Lucian looked in the direction this voice came from and saw a fuzzy figure."You're also a magician?"

"You're also a magician?""What also? Everyone here is." A laugh came from the corner, "Otherwise you think those fellows would just capture a bunch of normal people?"

"What also? Everyone here is." A laugh came from the corner, "Otherwise you think those fellows would just capture a bunch of normal people?"Lucian could tell that this person's voice was very young and became even more confused.

Lucian could tell that this person's voice was very young and became even more confused."You're also a student?"

"You're also a student?""You're also a student?" That person asked back.

"You're also a student?" That person asked back."I'm from the Philip Academy, I graduate this year." Lucian replied.

"I'm from the Philip Academy, I graduate this year." Lucian replied.The person was silent for a bit before suddenly breaking out in laughter, "You're this so casual about where you come from, it's no wonder you were tricked this easily."

The person was silent for a bit before suddenly breaking out in laughter, "You're this so casual about where you come from, it's no wonder you were tricked this easily."Lucian knitted his brows, "Aren't you the same?"

Lucian knitted his brows, "Aren't you the same?"That person fell silent and no longer spoke.

This time, he didn't use the elemental magic energy for illumination. He carefully used his magic power to induce the situation of the elemental magic energy around himself.Through this check, he found that the surrounding elemental magic energy really wasn't normal. The elemental magic energy in the air had their flow restricted and was almost stagnant, so it would be very hard to gather it to form a spell.

The elemental magic energy in the air had their flow restricted and was almost stagnant, so it would be very hard to gather it to form a spell.This should be the Magic Sealing Array that the other person had mentioned before.

This should be the Magic Sealing Array that the other person had mentioned before.This thing was clearly to limit a magician's ability to use spells. A normal magician wouldn't be able to gather elemental magic energy with their magic power in this situation, so they would be no different than a normal person.

He sent the magic power in his body into the Magic Array while carefully adjusting the magic vibration, carefully fine tuning this Magic Array.The light of the Magic Array flickered at first, but after a while, it slowly stabilized.

"When did the Philip Academy become this strong?""Right. You can actually break this Magic Sealing Array?"

How did you do this?"

After thinking for a bit, she shook her head, "I can't understand it. How did you do this?""It isn't much, I just adjusted the magic vibrational frequency to the elemental magic energy around and then forcefully drew this Magic Array with the resonance. This won't last long, so it can't be considered me breaking the Magic Sealing Array."

"It isn't much, I just adjusted the magic vibrational frequency to the elemental magic energy around and then forcefully drew this Magic Array with the resonance. This won't last long, so it can't be considered me breaking the Magic Sealing Array.""That is still incredible!" The girl looked at Lucian with a surprised look, "You seem like you're around the same age as me and you can adjust the magic vibrational frequency at will. Even our school's top students find it hard to do that."

"That is still incredible!" The girl looked at Lucian with a surprised look, "You seem like you're around the same age as me and you can adjust the magic vibrational frequency at will.

At the Philip Academy, Lucian's abilities wouldn't even be able to be ranked in the top ten."Hey, you said that you can't break this Magic Sealing Array?" Another boy on the side cared about the main issue as he asked, "Since you can draw this Magic Array, then you should be able to break it, right? If you can, perhaps we might be able to break out of this car."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes gathered on Lucian."Yes, if we're transported to an unknown place, it will all be over."

"Yes, if we're transported to an unknown place, it will all be over.""Right, think of a way. As long as you can break this Magic Sealing Array, we can all fly away."

"Right, think of a way. As long as you can break this Magic Sealing Array, we can all fly away.""Quickly give it a try……"

"Quickly give it a try……"……

……Lucian waved his hand with a bitter smile.

Lucian waved his hand with a bitter smile."The Magic Sealing Array is one of the most complicated research topics, how could I be that powerful that I could casually break it."

"Stop wasting words. Everyone's telling you to try, so just try. Anyway, we can't do anything, so you wouldn't lose anything if you tried."Lucian could tell that this was the first person who spoke to him. After being surprised, he wanted to say something, but that person pushed him and his left hand on the Magic Array was pushed off.
