Chapter 107: Life Extraction

From meeting Hansea, to Felido's betrayal, to Duke Maxwell's activation of the teleportation spell to take them away, it was only a quarter of an hour.

After a burst of spatial fluctuations, Brian's eyes lit up, but before he could see his surroundings clearly, he heard the white-haired duke beside him already spit out a mouthful of blood with a 'wow'.

"Father. ”

Cuenca suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Maxwell with a worried expression.

At this time, Brian noticed that Duke Maxwell, who seemed to be full of energy just now, was already pale.

Not only that, but the clothes on his back had already been torn apart, presumably caused by a sneak attack by a Hanseatic councillor pretending to be Franklin just now.

But Brian saw strange patterns carved into the back of the white-haired duke in these cracks, and if he was not mistaken, these magic patterns were what Felido had been hoping for.

"Ahem, ahem. Just as Brian was distracted, Duke Maxwell was coughing again.

It seems that the day before yesterday mage cast the teleportation magic just now, and the price was quite large.

Although Maxwell is the owner of this tower, teleportation magic has never been something that ordinary magicians can master and cast. As far as Brian had met, such as Christopher, the head of the Seventh Branch, or Professor Joseph, none of them had learned to teleport magic.

Mastering this kind of magic on the spatial level not only requires extremely high talent, but I am afraid that the understanding of magic must also reach an extremely deep level.

But now is not the time to say this, looking at the white-haired duke's eyes gradually turning into disgrace, it is not difficult for Brian to guess that it is absolutely impossible for the other party to cast this kind of magic again.

To add insult to injury, at this time, the entire tower was out of the 'Life Extraction Magic Array', in other words, not only those prisoners and prison guards had to be drained of their vitality at all times, but even the three of them were not spared.

"Cuenca, help the Duke over there and rest first. Brian looked around and found that this place was extremely much like an underground mine, so Duke Maxwell did not take the two of them back to the fifth floor of the tower, but directly teleported to the negative floor of the tower.

Indeed, this should be the best way to hide their tracks, but Brian vaguely felt that Labormore should find them soon.

"Good. Cuenca nodded, and led the white-haired Duke to a smooth rock where his father could sit against it.

"Cuenca, you seem to have a question for me?" the white-haired duke sat down and gasped for a moment before speaking.

Hearing his father's question, Cuenca hesitated for a while, but finally raised his head and plucked up the courage to say to the white-haired duke: "Father, is what my brother just said true?"

Maxwell seemed to have guessed Cuenca's problem a long time ago, he didn't hesitate, but replied lightly: "I will tell you the specific reason later, but I can swear in the name of the family, I have not done anything to be sorry for the family." The most urgent thing now is how to get through the current crisis, understand?"

"Yes!" he said with a heavy nod as if he hadn't heard the answer he imagined, as if he had come back to life.

"Student Brian, I'm so sorry to let you see such an ugly side of our family members. At this time, the white-haired duke turned to Brian and said.

"None of this matters, as the Duke said, overcoming the problem at hand is the most important thing. Brian guessed in his heart that the other party should have something to say to him.

"You should feel that this magic array under our feet is constantly draining our life force. Maxwell asked, gesturing to his feet.

"That's right, but I don't know how long this magic circle is?" asked Brian rhetorically.

"It doesn't have a time limit, it will automatically shut down as long as it absorbs a certain amount of life force, but the amount will be very large. The white-haired duke explained.

"That...."Hearing this, Brian was overjoyed, but before he could speak, he saw the white-haired duke waving his hand.

"So do you think that if you delay enough time, you will be able to suppress this riot naturally? ”

"Is there anything else going on here?" asked Brian, puzzled.

"This magic array has two characteristics, one is that people who fall into this magic array can replace the consumption of life force with mana, and the other is that it will only absorb the life force of those who are vigorous. In fact, this is also the original intention of designing this magic array, after all, it is for suppression, not killing. ”

"But even then, those repeat offenders should be quite restricted. "Brian knows that the strength of those people who are imprisoned on the third floor of the Iron Tower, if they follow the rules of self-improvement and weakness, those Blazing Sun Mages or the Day Before Yesterday Mages should have even more headaches.

"If it's a normal situation, that's true, but there's very bad news here. Maxwell said with a wry smile.

"Bad news?" Brian was stunned for a moment, then a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and he blurted out, "Lord Duke, are you talking about the 'necromancer'?"

The white-haired duke obviously didn't expect Brian to guess what he really thought as soon as he opened his mouth, but he still nodded and admitted, "That's right. ”

"This necromancer is a mage who can absorb the life force of others for his own use, and even pass the life force freely. Maxwell said, pausing, and said, "You must have heard of the 'Massacre in the town of Lero', in fact, all the life in that town at that time was used by this crazy magician for his magical research. ”

Hearing this, the corners of Brian's mouth twitched slightly, of course he had heard of the tragedy in Lero Town, but he didn't expect that the executioner who made more than a thousand people disappear in Lero Town was actually imprisoned here.

"So the 'Life Extraction Magic Array' may be a shackle that most prisoners can't break free, but for them, they have enough time to find me. The white-haired duke said this, slowly stood up, and then tore the clothes on his back, allowing him to see the complete magic pattern on his back.

"What is this?" said Brian, looking at Maxwell with a puzzled expression.

"This is the magic rune key that left the tower. Maxwell sighed and explained, "If it is grafted on the body of Ferdo, then it can be said that he holds the ownership of this tower, and at that time, the people of the Dark One Society should use teleportation magic to flee from here, and even if Lord Stuart outside kills all the enemies, then the felons inside will have already fled." ”

"So what?" Brian knew that after the other party had explained so much, it should be time for the poor dagger to see him.

"I'd like to ask you to do me a favor. ”
