33 Elders
Sagba Pascal threw Penny into a room where the Golem parts were kept, and then didn't know what to do outside.
Penny walked around the room, only to realize that the mechanic said that the constructing beast was a defective product, and it was really not a lie, every constructing part here was so perfect that it was unbelievably perfect, and being in this place was like entering the futuristic technology manufacturing factory in the movie.
In comparison, the constructed beast that was abandoned outside the tower was really crude, just like a defective product that was picked up and pieced together by a few random parts here.
If Penny was given a little time to study, these parts would definitely be able to assemble a more efficient fighting machine.
However, Penny is not in the mood to do these things now, he strayed into the lair of the ancient magician, and was blocked by his master, Penny now feels as if he has just left the novice village and has just met the [***]oss with three question marks on his head, and a small life is not in his control The emotion makes him uneasy.
He didn't care much about those three companions anymore, and how long his life could last under this moody machinist was a question.
And with some desperation, he found that there seemed to be no possibility of escape, and when he scanned the passage outside the door with his senses, he found no traps or magical traps - which was obviously illogical.
The only conclusion is that the equipment inside this machinist's lair is very secretive, and it is no longer beyond his spurious sense to snoop on.
This is not surprising, the strength of this strange mechanic, Penny can roughly imagine.
He wandered for a moment, found a warm place in the corner and lay down, and had not slept soundly in a long time before arriving at this place.
Although the situation is very dangerous, but he can't think of any good way now, a good sleep can at least make his empty spell slot full, some spells, even if they are just some low-level goods that are only one or two levels compared to the wizard mechanic, as long as they can give him a little more power, the chance of creating a miracle is one point greater.
Cranky thinking will only make him more and more panicked.
He closed his eyes, drowsily, and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly a sigh reached his auditory nerveβa discovery that Penny noticed that the sound was not passing through his ears, but acting directly on his nerves, a magic-like effect similar to teleportation, and the discovery immediately alerted him.
He looked around alertly to find out where the sound was coming from, but soon he noticed that nothing suspicious was around him, and he began to think that he might be hallucinating because of the rapid change in mood.
But just then, another surprised 'huh?' entered Penny's cranial nerves again, and he woke up again.
This time, he was very sure that these two sounds were not hallucinations, but some voices that were nearby, with voices that normal people could not hear, and at the same time, he also sensed a feeling of being watched.
"Can you hear me?" Before Penny could think of what to do, he heard the voice speak first, a middle-aged male voice with some mystery, low as a whisper in the forest, he asked, and without waiting for Penny to answer, he explained to himself: "Oh, yes, you have a soul that seems to be quite special, you don't have to look for it, I am talking to you on the aetheric plane, and your soul has not given you enough perception to search for me." β
Penny was shocked that the hole cards that had helped him through countless difficulties since his rebirth were so gently revealed, and what surprised him even more was that the other party seemed to know more about this ability than Penny himself, and at the same time he was full of doubts.
In such a situation, such a strange guy suddenly appeared, is it good or bad?
"Excuse me...... Who are you?" Penny asked in a low voice, frowning.
"Don't speak, because I can only vaguely infer that you're opening your mouth from the movement of consciousness signals. The voice said, "Think hard about what you're going to say to me, like meditation, and think about it over and over again!"
Penny was relieved at the same time, it seemed that the other party was not really able to read his thoughts, only able to sense his nerve signals, and maybe be able to detect his soul abnormality, but it was not enough to understand the fact that he was from another world.
So he followed the other party's statement, and thought about what he wanted to say vigorously and repeatedly, and the intensity of this thinking was about the same as when he connected to the magic net, and the signal of his thoughts seemed to have escaped outside his body, and sure enough, he heard the voice answer his question again:
"I'm Ocruz, the elder of the Madil Forest. β
"You're Ocruz!" Penny was a little surprised, whether the other party lied to him or not, it was a reassuring answer for him alone.
"I know you're skeptical, and I know your mission, because I've been in contact with your three companions, and I'll dispel your suspicions in a moment......"
While Penny was listening, the voice of the elder Okrus, who might have belonged, suddenly said, "Wait, that wizard is here." β
Penny hurriedly sat upright, a little nervous.
The golem walked in, a potion in his hand, and approached Penny: "Look, dear assistant, in order to make you more suitable for your future work, I have prepared a spell for you, and he will make you more competent. β
He could see a small gem underneath the potion, it was obvious that this gem that exuded spell energy was the place where the spell was stored, he had already thought of some kind of gem magic that had been passed down in ancient times, it seemed that the potion was just a stabilizer thing, as for what kind of spell was in the gem, he had already guessed.
As Penny grew creepy, he thought that there would be no bosses with zero IQ in this world, and that it was normal to use spells and potions to control his slaves. As a traverser, he was obviously very uninterested in this kind of puppet life, and he was still hesitating, but he heard an urging from Ocrus:
"Don't be afraid, drink it!"
This sentence seemed to give Penny courage, in fact, he had no choice, he resigned himself to a sip of drink, and suddenly a large amount of information entered his head, and his eyes were dark, because all the nerves in the brain were used to process the input information, and he had no time to control his body.
Countless materials flowed through Penny's consciousness, and unlike what he imagined, this was not a spell to dominate humans or something, but a ninth-order memory compilation, this spell could modify the recipient's memory, but if it was stored in a gem, it would lose this effect, and instead it would be replaced by a slightly weakened implanted virtual memory function, which is said to have been used by many Grand Arcanists to quickly train apprentices in the era of Nesser.
Penny immediately knew the intentions of the Wizard Mechanic, and in order to make him a competent assistant, the Wizard Mechanic poured a large amount of experience in the magic engineering technology of the Ancient Empire into his head, including all kinds of things, such as magical biological transformation, construction, mechanical engineering, etc., many of which were exquisite ancient techniques, if they were presented to the Red Robe Mage Society, it would immediately cause a sensation.
After the destruction of the two empires and the closure of the deep magic web by Mystra, Faeron's arcane research level has deteriorated, and it can be said that the real people of today are not as good as the ancients, so the arcane research materials of the ancient Nether and the Imasca empire are extremely precious to today's mages.
Penny skimmed through it and quickly realized that if he could absorb these memories completely, he would soon become an expert in the field, and even a strange mechanic.
However, it was difficult for him to rejoice in this situation, and in the eyes of Sagba Pascal, it was clear that these things were merely formalities that made him a proper servant.
"I hope you can digest this knowledge in three days, there is not much time left for us to experiment, this is the last chance. The strange mechanic walked out of the room while muttering to himself: "I still have to debug it, there are still some problems with the ratio of CM199918D189, the modulation of sample E23849XFD9333 has not been completed, and there is also the test sample No. 00111312 ......"
Penny watched the guy leave the room, and somehow breathed a sigh of relief, the pressure on being with this steel monster was too great.
"Okay, once he gets into research, he won't think of looking for you for a while, and now he can come out boldly. Ocruz spoke again: "Listen to my instructions, and when you get out, go twelve feet to the left, then six feet forward, you can avoid the first magic alarm, the first sentry, and the command is ......"
Penny hurriedly followed Ocrus's words, and as he walked, he didn't forget to ask, "Elder Ocrus, why are you so familiar with the layout of this tower?"
"My soul has been inspecting this tower in the Aether Plane for a long time. O'Cruise was silent for a moment, then replied.
"Your soul?" Penny was stunned, "You're talking to me with your soul?"
"My ** is imprisoned, and the power of that wizard is too strong. O'Cruise replied, "If it weren't for my quick reaction, I wouldn't have had a chance to talk to you right now." β
"And how did you get here?" asked Penny curiously.
"I also stumbled upon this shadow half-plane. Ocrus sighed, "I didn't expect that there would be an ancient wizard who lived in seclusion here. Now we have to find a way to defeat this guy to get out of here safely. β
"Defeat him?" a bitter pang appeared in Penny's mouth, "That guy can pull out a ninth-level spell at will." β
A soul hidden in the etheric plane, and a low-level mage who only has the ability to cast spells in the second ring, wants to kill such a strange mage master, not to force a first-level trumpet to kill the top-level [***]oss.
"But you have no choice, neither you nor me, nor your three companions, and we can only recover if he is dead. Ocrus whispered, "Do you want to be an assistant who could die at his hands at any moment?"
"Of course not. Penny shook his head, "Also, you just mentioned my three companions, have you seen them?"
"It's almost there, keep listening to my instructions......"
Following the elder's guidance, Penny walked up a staircase, two corridors, and stopped in front of a small door, he hesitated, and gently pushed it open, and there were three transparent vessels inside, among which there was a light that danced, and when he saw Penny enter, the light changed, and several voices entered Penny's head:
"Mr. Sean, are you still alive, and that evil monster didn't kill you?"
"Stinky boy, get me out of here!"
"Lord O'Cruise, are you back? and this outlander?"
