Chapter 151: The Execution Ground
Adelia looked at Xianlai's eager look, and turned to ask Given.
Jiwen thought for a moment and asked about Xianlai'er.
"What a strange exam, is it heavily guarded there?"
"There are several guards belonging to the academy at the door, and there is also a king's sword that is said to be guarding the scene. ”
"Are you sure?"
As soon as he heard that he was going to provoke the King's Sword, Givens felt that there was an additional risk in this matter.
"All you need to do is help me distract the guards at the door, and I'll use the Phased Beast to distract the King's Sword guarding inside. ”
After listening to Xianlai's plan, Jiwen found that he didn't have to face the King's Sword directly, so he was not so resistant. And this kind of test to test a student should not be dangerous.
Thinking of this, Jiwen also wanted to see the scene of the mysterious bloodbath, after all, the legend is that the bloodshed is related to the mysterious man with bronze skin.
"Okay, we can try it. ”
After reaching an agreement, Givens and Adelia followed Celael to the scene of the murder. It was a small building in the depths of the college, and although it was also a professor's laboratory building, the magnificence of this building was obviously not comparable to that of Professor Morris's laboratory building.
The small building is surrounded by towering trees, hidden in the dense shade of the trees, even in the daytime, it looks so dark and gloomy. At the gate of the small building, there were two guards from the Royal Summoning Academy, who were chatting to pass the time, and they didn't notice Jiwen and his party hiding in the bushes in the distance.
"Seems like it's easy?"
Givens looked around, there were vines and shrubs everywhere next to the small building, and the branches of the big trees almost reached the balcony and window on the second floor, and with the cover of those dense shades, it was not difficult to sneak into this room.
"But it's not the same if there's a king's sword hidden inside, and I have to go in during the day. ”
Fairrael's expression was much more nervous than that of Givan that every elf in Solland had heard the mysterious tales of the King's Sword since childhood. In any story, the King's Sword is a man of extraordinary ability.
It's not easy to get out of their sight.
So Xianlaier pulled Adilea and Jiwen carefully, carefully discussed the steps of the action, and after confirming it again and again, she quietly went around to the back of the small building, hid invisibly, and waited for Adella and Jiwen to lure the guards away.
After watching from afar as Xianlai was in place, Adelia exchanged glances with Jiwen before starting
Givens began to use his spirit form to silently walk through the woods.
And Adelia quietly used life magic to combine the plants and vines on the ground, so that the branches and leaves formed a wriggling lizard shape.
A moment later, something unusual suddenly appeared in the normally quiet woods, and there seemed to be an unusual sound of branches grinding against each other in the depths of the forest.
The two guards stopped talking and looked suspiciously at the woods beside the road. Some of the branches in the woods shook unusually, and a shadow flickered in the shade.
The Royal Call Academy has always been a relatively peaceful and safe place in the royal capital, no thief has ever dared to commit a crime here, and the students here are not as enthusiastic about pranks as other colleges.
This is the scene of a bloody crime, could it be the criminal who came to destroy the evidence?
Thinking of this, the two guards tightened their weapons and began to cover each other, approaching the woods. But now that the woods were calm, the dark shadow seemed to have suddenly vanished.
As they stared intently into the depths of the woods, a monster covered in green leaves leaped through the bushes and made a loud noise.
"It's a lizard!" Prince circled around from the right to stop it. ”
One of the guards caught the oddity and immediately chased after it. After seeing what seemed to be just a scurrying lizard, he even loudly reminded his companion to wrap up the uninvited guest.
The other guard froze, and finally rushed to the other side of the woods, as his companion had requested.
"It worked!"
Jiwen, who fused his body with the giant tree, looked at the scene in front of him and shouted excitedly in his heart.
His presence and the movement of the vine monster completely attracted the attention of the two guards. Just as they were busy chasing the vines and lizards, Xianlai'er, who was hiding behind the small building, quietly followed the big tree, jumped onto the balcony on the second floor, and got into the small building.
As long as Xianlai can hide from the king's sword in the building, she will successfully complete this test.
Just when Givens thought things would go according to plan, the guard who had been the first to burrow into the woods suddenly emerged from the woods again. This time he ignored his companion and ran straight to the gate and into the small building.
This accident made Jiwen nervous all of a sudden, Xianlai's phase beast could only lead away one person at most, and it would be bad if one more guard was added.
At that moment, Givens immediately weighed the pros and cons and made a decision. He used his telekinesis to alert Adelia who was hiding behind him
"Xianlai'er may be in trouble, I'll go over and take a look. ”
So, Jiwen followed the cover of the trees to the root of the wall, and then walked directly through the side wall with the help of the spirit and entered the interior of the small building.
At the moment of crossing the thick stone wall, Jiwen held his breath, endured the feeling of suffocation, and entered the room on the first floor of the mysterious little building.
To Givin's surprise, the room he entered had a sense of déjà vu.
The décor and layout of the house, and even the placement of the instruments in the room, are exactly the same as a laboratory building that Givens has seen recently. The layout of this house is almost exactly a copy of Professor Morris's laboratory! It seems that the owner of this house really has an inexplicable relationship with Professor Morris.
In the brief moment that Jiwen explored the surroundings, there was no movement in the small building, and it seemed that Xianlai'er's whereabouts had not yet been discovered. So Givan walked deeper into the front building and continued to explore the building.
Govern walked through two small rooms in a row, finding nothing out of the ordinary, but just as Gilvin was about to pass through the wall in front of him, his instincts stopped him.
So he stopped in the middle of the wall, just in time to show only his eyes, just in time to look at the other side of the wall.
The guard who had returned to the room was crouching at the top of the stairs with Jiwen on his back, seemingly waiting for someone to come downstairs. This strange behavior can't help but make Jiwen guess his motives.
Could it be that he had already discovered the traces of Xianlai'er? If so, Jiwen could only stun the guards first to relieve Xianlai'er.
Keeping his body in the wall, Givens quietly approached the unsuspecting guard along the wall. But as Givens approached the back of the guard, he seemed to sense the danger and turned his head sharply.
In desperation, Jiwen could only retreat sharply and hide behind the wall.
In an instant, darkness came over the face.
The guards on the opposite side didn't seem to notice any trace of Jiwen, and after looking suspiciously at the empty wall, he turned back and quietly ambushed him.
Given, who hadn't heard anything in the dark, was relieved. Then his attention shifted to the darkness around him. The place where Givens was was not a wall, but a room, but there were no windows or lights around it, only darkness.
After making sure that the surroundings were safe, Jiwen took out a small fire crystal from the storage ring with him, and the bright magic crystal immediately lit up the darkness around him like a candle.
What seems to be a secret passage to the underground?
Givens looked at the stairs and the narrow walls at his feet, speculating on the purpose of the dark cubicle.
Intrigued, Gilvin descended the stairs, then through what appeared to be a sturdy iron door, and finally came to an empty basement.
Givens walked into the basement and held the hedron high in his hand to dispel the clammy cold and darkness around him.
At that moment, Givens suddenly found that he was in a bloody execution field.
Torture instruments and dissection tables were everywhere, and countless bloodstained knives were placed on the workbenches around the basement. What shocked Gilvin the most was the chains and hooks in the center of the basement.
Strings of sharply serrated barbs hung from the top of the basement.
There must have been some unlucky guys who had been hung on this barb and tortured with the torture instruments and tools that were placed next to it.
"Execution ground, jagged hooks?"
The image in front of Jiwen's eyes made him recall two words from a certain memory.
Hel had inadvertently revealed that he had been in a horrible room with a jagged hook, was that the place he was talking about?
