Chapter 57: Confinement
The darkness is boundless and empty.
The floating Lucien looked around blankly, and there was an inexplicable force in his heart shouting something inaudible that caused the darkness to roll violently, like a low depression before a storm.
Suddenly, dark green vines rose from under Lucian's feet and quickly wrapped around his body, protruding dark red thorns that were hideous and terrifying, as if coated with dried blood, exuding a sweet fragrance that could paralyze the human body.
The speed of this strange vine was so fast that it didn't give Lucien any space to escape.
Lucien struggled to cast his magic, but found that his mental power was completely dry, and there was nothing to motivate.
Sharp dark red thorns pierced Lucian's body, and the sharp pain and soft numbness instantly spread throughout his body, making him can't help but scream like Elvis.
As the pain erupted, the darkness began to shatter, and streams of light shone in, bright and blinding.
Lucien's head was groggy, and the light in front of him made his eyes narrow, but he immediately remembered that he had been hit by the sudden Scarlet Demon Tree's many negative status rays, and he didn't even have time to trigger the "Dodge Boots" to jump away before he fainted and fell asleep.
Those two rows of dense and palpitating dark eyes came to mind, and Lucien subconsciously inspired himself to "teleport short" in his soul, ready to dodge the follow-up attack of the Crimson Demon Tree.
It seems that the "elemental vortex" used before falling asleep helped me survive until I woke up?
And the attack of the vines in the darkness is subconsciously incarnated, forcing yourself to wake up as soon as possible?
Can be excited when "short teleportation" is excited. Lucien found that his mental power was as dry as in his dream, like a river with mud at the bottom.
"It's the sequelae of the 'Elemental Vortex' that crossed the ranks!" Lucien had a flash of realization in his heart, and then he used his hands to dodge.
After using the "Elemental Vortex", which has become a second-level knight, he will no longer have the same serious vitality consumption as before, and he needs to be helped to walk!
As soon as he rolled over, Lucien only felt his body vacate, and his eyes that had adapted to the light were stunned to see that this was a small room painted with white wall ash, where there were any dark green and dark red monster vines, how there were any huge, evil scarlet demon trees, how could there be two rows of dense dark eyes!
Syllable. Lucien fell to the ground. Make a dull sound.
The knight's body was rough and thick, and Lucien didn't feel any pain, so he took the time to look around.
The room was small, except for a wooden bed. There was only one open wooden box. There was nothing inside.
"So clean. It's so simple, it's like a single cell. Lucien muttered to himself, "Where the hell is this? Why am I here?
Lucien, who had experienced it once, inevitably thought that he had been killed by the Scarlet Demon Tree. But crossing this matter has always been one of the deepest secrets in Lucian's heart, so no matter how surprised and dazed he is, he didn't blurt it out.
Raising his hands, seeing the familiar slender and powerful appearance, touching his neck, and feeling the summoning mark, Lucien was finally sure that he had not crossed over, and he had not died, and that he still had a body, or the body of Lucian Evans.
But this did not make Lucien relax, because two black bracelets inexplicably appeared on his hands, they emitted a strange light, and on his neck, according to the touch of Lucian's hands and the sensing of his skin, there was also a tightly fitting collar.
As for his Sun Crown, Fireweaver's Bracelet, Holm's Crown Ring, Ice Avenger's Ring, Dodge Boots, Transfiguration Robes, Ogre Power Gauntlets, and other items, all disappeared.
Judging from the strange patterns and shapes of the black bracelets, as well as the needle-like things that pierced their veins, Lucien judged with a stern face: "This is a confinement bracelet, which can imprison the power of the blood veins. This should be a forbidden demon collar around my neck, no wonder my mental power is drier than when I used the 'Elemental Vortex' before I was promoted to the middle rank!What the hell is going on?"
Seeing that the spiritual power and blood power were imprisoned, Lucien subconsciously tried to enter the soul library, but there was no sense in the soul, as if it was hidden and closed by some strange power power.
"Could it be that the opening of the Soul Library requires psychic power as a medium?" Lucien had never tried to enter the Soul Library without losing his psychic power, so it was reasonable to infer it.
Lucien, who did not give up his efforts, continued to try to use the summoning mark on his neck to see if he could make Rhine descend into his dreams - he was nicknamed "The Observer" and should know the legend of the "Demon Land" of the Dark Mountains, and Lucien now suspected that he had fallen into this Demon Land, and needed more information and more information!
Without the strength of the bloodline, and without the spiritual power, the summoning mark cannot be stimulated, Lucien couldn't help but frown, as if he had returned to the weak stage where he had just crossed over and had not yet learned magic.
"I have a normal human body, I have a soul essence that has been enhanced and mutated a lot, and I am much better than before in terms of thinking and acuity, so I can't give up in frustration, there is still hope! The most important thing now is to gather information here, so that I can decide what to do next. Lucien quickly regained his composure.
In fact, even if the soul returns to the ordinary, Lucien can still maintain a good psychological state, will not waver and hesitate, after so many hardships to develop the belief of not giving up and not giving in is one of the most valuable treasures in life, and the other wealth is the knowledge that has been mastered by himself, such as the understanding of the Forbidden Bracelet, the alchemy structure of the Forbidden Demon Collar and the composition of the magic array!
Lucien pulls the iron door and finds it locked, so he goes back to the bed and sits down, ready to try his hand at studying the Chaining Bracelet. At this moment, the crisp sound of keys clanging sounded outside the door.
Then, Lucien distinctly heard the key inserted into the keyhole, and then clicked, and the iron door was slowly pushed open.
A young man with a ruddy face as if he was drunk walked in slowly carrying a large set of keys, his back seemed to be habitually hunched, but as soon as he saw Lucian, he puffed up his chest and said with a little arrogance: "Since you are awake, follow me to meet the master." ”
He was dressed in a servant-like black robe and trousers, with no objects on his wrists or neck.
"Master?" Lucien, who had finally waited for the others to appear, naturally did not miss the opportunity to ask, at least before going to meet the mysterious "master" to find out what kind of place this was, and why he would be here.
The young man glared at Lucien in annoyance: "What qualifications do you have to call the master? You are just a guy who the master rescued when he saw the lack of experimental materials!"
"You have to remember that you are the lowest and most lowly experimental material in the magic tower!"
Lucien chuckled in his heart, the magic tower, the experimental material, this is only a little better than death.
However, as long as there is no death, there is hope!
"Bring me back, what is this place?" Lucien, pretending not to understand, continued to ask.
The young servant's temper seemed to be a little irritable, and his tone became more and more violent: "I was born and raised here, how do I know how to describe this place? ”
"I really fell into the land of demons. I'm a little too unlucky, and a not-so-dangerous mission has taken such a horrible turn. Lucien sighed slightly in an indescribable mood.
After finding Elvis, the liaison, Lucien thought that the mission was close to completion, because he often traveled back and forth between the adventurer's camp and the Nightmare King's magic tower, and with him leading the way, he would not encounter powerful magical creatures.
"What happened to those who couldn't get out?, by the way, my companion?" asked Lucien, following the young servant's words.
The young servant seemed to think of something funny, and replied without anger: "Your companion? The guys who accidentally broke in either made snacks for the monsters in the surrounding forest, or became experimental materials for their masters, and only two of them were still alive, locked up next door to you. No, there are three ...... alive Bastard, shut your mouth! Follow me to my master!"
It was the first time he had seen Lucien, who insisted on asking "100,000 for what" even if he knew that he was in a bad situation, so he answered the question casually, but as he spoke, his face suddenly changed, revealing deep fear and worry, and sternly asked Lucien to shut up.
Lucien didn't irritate him anymore, and followed him with the Forbidden Bracelet and Forbidden Collar and walked towards the upper echelons of the Magic Tower.
Along the way, Lucien stared carefully at the young servant's back, judging his hand-to-hand combat prowess from the way he walked, the weight of his steps, etc., and assessing the possibility that he would suddenly pounce on him and break his neck or knock him unconscious.
When he reached the fifth floor of the Magic Tower, Lucien retracted his gaze and remembered the materials he had borrowed from the Library of the Council of Magic: various human experiments conducted by ancient magicians.
When he arrived at a black door with a mysterious pattern, the servant knocked lightly: "Master, the experimental materials you have newly picked up are awake, and I will bring him to meet you." ”
"Bring him in. The old, hoarse female voice seemed to emerge from the crack in the door.
Lucien didn't wonder about the gender of his master, and for dangerous ancient heritage magicians, gender didn't affect their level of perversion.
The black door retreated on its own, and Lucien saw the full picture of the magic laboratory, which was similar to the one left by Maskeling, with the gray liquid "ether" flowing back and forth, the tentacles like pipes and black lines that enveloped the entire magic laboratory, the pale human hands hanging in the air and holding in a deformed shape like chicken claws, as well as the dissecting table, the large alchemy platform, and countless strangely shaped experimental devices and utensils.
A terrifyingly scuffy old woman in a red magic robe stopped her dissection and turned to look at Lucian.
Her hair was fluffy and gray, wrinkles were on her face as if she had lost her elasticity, and her whole body was shriveled and thin, unusually ugly and terrifying.
The old woman's turquoise eyes looked at Lucien carefully for a moment, then bowed slightly, and said in a voice with a hint of fanaticism in the old man: "You need to give an electric shock first." (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
