Chapter 59: The Adventurer
Lucien, who was a little numb from the electricity, looked blankly at the wall on the left, and it took a few seconds to react, then walked to the wall, pointed at the place where the tapping sound was made, and lowered his voice: "Who?"
"Adam who lives next door to you. Man, didn't we just meet?" As a low, magnetic voice sounded, the stone bricks in that position suddenly moved, denting in the opposite direction.
With a rustling sound, the stone bricks magically removed from them, revealing a piercing hole and a pair of dark blue eyes.
"No magic circle protection?" Lucien asked as Natasha raised his left eyebrow in surprise.
In the magic tower of a magician who is at least a high-level magician, the walls are not reinforced and soundproofed with magic arrays, and this is still a prison cell, so it doesn't even have the basic ability to prevent destruction!
A smile appeared on Adam's well-defined and tough face: "Because this is the land of imprisoned demons!" Although there are many mineral veins and terrifying magical creatures in the vicinity and in the forest, but the varieties are seriously incomplete and very dangerous, and being able to build a magic tower is already a manifestation of the old witch's strength and rich savings, so this magic tower is an ordinary building except for the protection of a constant magic array in the exterior and core. Hey, man, after all that, I don't know what to call you?"
He seems to be holding back his stomach because he hasn't communicated with normal people for a long time, and he is not as tough as he looks at all.
"Mr. Adam, you can call me Lucian. By the way, how did you dig up this stone brick?" Lucien habitually remained polite.
Adam looked at Lucien through the void and blinked in his eyes, and sighed, "What a polite one." Eh, man, are you a mage or a knight? low-level, or mid-level?"
"Magician, mid-tier. ”
Hearing Lucian's succinct answer, Adam smiled and said, "I said man, we are all experimental materials, why are you so restrained? Just call me Adam, the great knight of the dark bloodline." ”
Then he stretched out his right hand, and the nails on it that had not been trimmed for a long time shimmered with a sharp cold light. "I slowly dug the stone bricks off with my fingernails. The Imprisonment Bracelet can suppress the power of my veins. But it can't bring my altered body back to its original form. ”
Lucien looked down at his neatly cut nails and said humorously, "If the old witch is not here, just an ordinary guard, then we can successfully escape from prison with our fingernails." Adam. Do you know what's going on around the road? Do you know what the old witch is doing? As soon as I woke up, I was in my cell, and nothing was clear. ”
Adam's excitement about not communicating with anyone for a long time slowly subsided, and his tone became solemn: "Man. It is useless to know the situation. There are two cities and a number of villages within the defensive radius of the Magic Tower, which are supposed to be the descendants of humans who have been trapped in the Demon Lands for many years - legend has it that once a village on the edge of a dark mountain range was swallowed up entirely. ”
"Surrounding this area in the distance is a gigantic forest similar to the Dark Mountains, which is very dangerous, with powerful dark creatures such as the Scarlet Demon Tree, the Killer Vine, the Three-Armed Troll, the Feathered Snake, and the Petrified Lizard. I was there when I first fell into the Demon Lands, and I barely managed to get out of the forest. I don't know what else is further into the forest, but according to the law that the further you go in the outside direction, the stronger the monster becomes, I am afraid that there will be top creatures such as Chimera, Soul Prisoner, Sphinx, and Dragon. ”
He deduced the species of monsters that had appeared in the Dark Mountains.
After introducing the surrounding situation, Adam's voice became deeper and lower: "There is an ancient ruin under this magic tower, which seems to be related to the secrets of the Forbidden Land. The old witch has been trying to crack it in order to find a way out of here, but she is limited to only seven or eight rings of strength, and she has always been unable to succeed, so most of her experiments are how to use limited resources to improve her magical strength. ”
"By the way, her soul and body were contaminated in a magical experiment, and she can no longer transform into a youthful appearance, and her life is passing rapidly, so she is still looking for a solution to this problem. ”
Feeling the fear in Adam's tone the further back he spoke, Lucien asked suspiciously and worriedly, "Does the old witch already have a direction to solve this problem?"
Adam said with deep fear: "The old witch's soul is polluted, and after changing the body of a few young girls, she can't restrain her rapid aging, and it is difficult to maintain it even for a minute, so she thinks that the core of the problem is the soul, and wants to try to divide the soul, divide the unpolluted part, and completely disconnect from the original soul, so that the pollution cannot be eradicated, and then cultivate and grow and become another self." ”
Lucien swallowed with some difficulty: "Who will listen to whom after the split? Who is the old witch?"
As far as Lucien's knowledge is concerned, no real soul splitting experiment has been successful so far, and even some of the souls that were separated from the life box and the severed fingers in the life caching technique in the Lich Transformation Technique are not completely disconnected from the original soul and body, but are still related in some magical way.
No matter how far apart they are, the souls in the lifebox will only be resurrected when the original soul dies, and there will be no philosophical and cognitive conflicts, and if it encounters some kind of attack that can interfere with this connection, the resurrected soul will also carry the same injuries.
Adam smiled bitterly and blinked: "Who knows? Anyway, the guys whose souls were divided by the old witch all died on the spot, and their souls dissipated, without exception." ”
He pointed to the wall behind Lucian, "The guy in that cell is going to undergo this experiment tonight, and if he doesn't come back, it means that the experiment has failed again." If the experiment is successful, maybe we will be free. ”
"If the experiment succeeds......" Lucien repeated, not going on, just thinking solemnly in his heart, combined with the cloning technique, it may mean that there is a path to immortality.
In the current results of magic, even if the soul is perfectly transformed into a lich or otherwise prolonged in life, it is inevitable that the soul will show signs of decay over time. And if you divide the part that has not yet begun to age. It will still be affected by the original, so the longest surviving legendary mage in the records of the Magic Council is 6,449 years old, and the rest either died before this age or disappeared inexplicably.
Adam lowered his voice again, "Man, I have to remind you, you have to prepare early. ”
"What?" Lucien looked up at the missing stone brick wall, opposite Adam's dark blue eyes.
"The old witch thinks that the main reason for the failure of the experiment is that the soul used for her experiment is not strong enough, so you, a rare mid-level magician, will definitely become the main material for this experiment. But before that, she will definitely do her best to increase your soul strength. For you, it is a danger. It's also an opportunity. Adam's magnetic deep voice brought Lucien a not-so-so-good news.
Lucien took a deep breath. Gently bowed his head: "I'll look for opportunities." Adam, can you tell me the inner workings of the magic tower that you know about the Dao, like where is the energy room?"
"No problem, anyone who needs help can come to me. Adam replied haughtily, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After some exchanges. Afraid of being discovered by the servants. Adam put the stone brick back into the distance.
Lucien walked back to the bed in silence and sat down. I didn't pay attention to Adam's intention to encourage him to find a way to escape and he hid behind his back to pick up the bargain, because he would try hard no matter what. Just get some information from him.
After the dinner brought by the servants, Lucien hurried to sleep and regain his strength, and it was time to find a way to unconfine the bracelet.
............
In the middle of the night, the iron door was suddenly opened, and the red-faced young servant said coldly to Lucian, who was sitting up, "The master has instructed me to take you to the moonlight, which will help you recover your body and soul. ”
Although he instantly thought of the word "let go of the wind" in his previous life, Lucien would refuse the opportunity to walk around, and soon followed the young servant to the terrace where the magic tower protruded outside.
The silver moon hung high, and the cold light was no different from the outside world, reflecting a silvery white rippling light and shadow when it shone on the terrace.
All the cells in Lucian's body were unusually hungry and thirsty for the moonlight, allowing him to quickly recover from his unhealed injuries.
"Hey man, you're out too?" Adam's enthusiastic voice came from behind Lucian.
Lucien turned his head and smiled, "Hey, Adam, you're here to bathe in the darkness?"
"Yes, I also participated in the experiment in the afternoon, of course, as an experimental material. Adam's mouth cracked, his bright smile softened his hard lines, and he shrank in the corner where the moonlight was obscured, as if blending in with the darkness.
Then, in a low voice, he said, "That guy didn't come back. ”
"It's unfortunate. Lucien replied "griefly".
The terrace was not too high above the ground, but the old witch was not worried that the two creatures who had been imprisoned would be able to escape from the magic tower, and Lucien and Adam had no other thoughts for the time being, chatting casually about the surrounding dark forest.
Suddenly, a bright light bloomed on the small hill ahead, turning it like day.
Lucien, who was leaning on the edge of the terrace, saw two men and two women running out of the small hill, and they were swiftly rushing towards the magic tower, as if they had just stepped on some magic trap.
"Wow, yes, this adventure team has two second-level knights, a second-ring magician, and one official knight. Adam left the darkness and watched with some excitement at the two men and women below who broke the trap and slew the skeleton servants.
Lucien turned to look at him suspiciously, "What?"
"The old witch was very lazy in addition to learning and experimenting with magic, and in order not to let the experimental materials become extinct, she left various exercises and many magic books in the nearby villages and cities, and then hid the magic tower so that they could develop on their own, so that the experimental materials would not be lifeless. ”
At the same time, she sent someone to secretly spread the news that there was a magic tower that hid countless treasures and infinite power, and that as long as you found the magic tower, lifted the seal, and defeated the evil witch, you could get everything, so the experimental materials were often sent to the door by themselves, without having to look for them themselves. Adam watched with relish at the "fierce" battle below. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
