Alice drove to Wywick Castle in a continuous rain.
When the black carriage passed through the spacious crescent-shaped door, drove through the road paved with fine gravel, bypassed the huge and exquisite mermaid fountain, and stopped in front of the three-story main building of the castle, numerous servants, including gardeners, cooks, and servants,
More than a hundred people, including maids, guards, butlers, are waiting here with their heads bowed.
Their expressions were flattering and embarrassed, and there was unconcealable panic in their eyes.
Those who can stay are those who have signed a contract with the castle, so at this time they are also counted as part of the castle's wealth.
Seeing the few people who were the first to get off the carriage, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was Kerr, Warren, and the four wizard apprentices, all of whom were "old men" who had served in the castle for five or six years. Everyone felt relieved when they could see them.
When Alice, wearing a light yellow skirt, appeared in front of everyone, they were confused for a while, and then they formally greeted her under the guidance of the four wizard apprentices.
"Okay, let's all disperse!" Alice waved her hand impatiently: "Let me settle down in my apartment first, and the person in charge will report to me later. The rest will continue to complete their work!"
Everyone hurriedly obeyed.
An hour later, after taking a simple bath, Alice met the castle butler in the bedroom on the second floor.
This is an old man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, gray hair, and meticulously dressed. He is also the old butler who has served more than fifty people at Wywick Castle. Of course, it is an honor to be able to
Serving a wizard, he also holds a noble title.
It is actually normal for Lord Wizards to employ a large number of low-ranking nobles in their private properties!
After all, there are too few ordinary people who are literate and know how to calculate.
"Tell me, what kind of industry does this Wyrick Castle have? I want to listen carefully!" Alice was wrapped in a soft silk robe and reclining in the chair, looking very old-fashioned.
Because she had just taken a shower, her long blond hair was still wet, and water would drip on the carpet from time to time. She brought the silk robe herself, and it was as long as her knees. When she huddled in the seat tiredly, the robe
The clothes are tucked in, revealing the snow-white crystal legs and slender bare feet, and the ten small and beautiful toes blooming like petals are even more eye-catching.
In addition to the old housekeeper who came to report, there were also the four wizard apprentices who had just "taken refuge" in the house, two senior and two intermediate, but they all lowered their heads, not daring to peep at this maverick Ellie.
Every bit.
Alice pulled the silk robe that slipped from her shoulders, covering the bright magic tattoo. Whenever she saw this complex, exquisite, three-dimensional mysterious tattoo that stretched across her entire upper body, Alice couldn't help but recall it.
He was lying on the alchemy experimental table, feeling horrible pain as the scorching rays scratched his skin bit by bit.
Alice already knew that Grim had tattoos.
She even knew that the magic tattoo on Greem's body was surprisingly effective.
In the past, the old version of Balrog's transformation could bring him a double increase in physical fitness. Although it didn't last long, it was enough to make people enviable. But now with the integration of the knowledge of otherworldly runes, the new version of Balrog's transformation
It can even achieve a strength increase of about three times. This... this is a bit too outrageous!
The new version of the Balrog transformation gave Greem an extremely powerful Balrog body, and the transplanted Balrog heart can provide a steady stream of flame energy. The combination of the two created a super terrifying flame demon.
As her master's personal maid, Alice now knows all about Grim's true strength.
So when Grim summoned her to the secret room and solemnly and mysteriously asked her if she was willing to accept such a magic tattoo, Alice's blood boiled.
The answer is of course yes.
As a possessor of extraordinary power, she would not reject any knowledge or technology that could improve her abilities, so Alice agreed without any doubt.
But when she lay naked on the alchemy table to receive the magic tattoo baptism, she couldn't help but regret it.
It really hurts his female horse!
Is this a magic tattoo? No, it's definitely not.
How is this different from those alchemists etching magic patterns and witchcraft arrays on witchcraft? It's just a cold object that doesn't know pain, but she is a living person!
The scorching rays burned the flesh and blood, neither deep nor shallow, not large nor small. The grooves of flesh and blood as thin as silk were filled in time with special alchemical materials. The materials obviously contained special substances that inhibited the regeneration of flesh and blood. Only in this way can
Avoid premature wound healing due to excessive physical fitness, resulting in the failure of magic lines.
Moreover, this huge magic tattoo covers almost all areas of the upper body, and it inevitably passes through some relatively sensitive areas.
When the scorching rays move little by little in the sensitive areas, Alice must exert a strong will to control her flesh and blood from shrinking and trembling due to pain or itching. After all, the process of drawing magic lines is
It is strict and precise, and any deviation in the position of the lines may cause the magic tattoo to fail.
Therefore, Alice must transform herself into a numb humanoid object when her mind is clear. Only in this way can she avoid interfering with the drawing of the magic tattoo.
So the four hours it took to draw the tattoo was an endless, horrific ordeal!
When Grim lay in her ear and announced that the magic tattoo had been successfully completed, Alice even spent a quarter of an hour unable to get up from the alchemy table. In the end, the master, Grim, took her back to her home knowingly, and settled her down.
It took half a day to recover all consciousness.
Greem specializes in the fire system, so he drew the Balrog transformation for himself, while Alice awakened the bloodline of the Witch of Destiny, and she is good at space talent, so Greem drew her...
And this is obviously tailor-made for her!
"In addition to the castle itself, the property of Wyrick Castle also includes a small manor, which is responsible for providing daily food and beverage items to the castle, including xxx slaves, xx buildings, and xx acres of annexed land...
In Vandil City, there is also a secret magic cabin, two blacksmith shops, two bakeries...
Inside the castle, there are xx buildings, xxx rooms, xxx servants, xx wine barrels in the wine cellar, and existing gold coins..."
Listening to the aristocratic butler tirelessly listing all the castle properties, Alice finally interrupted him with an impatient wave of her hand.
"You can formulate these worldly wealth into words and submit one copy to me. What I want to know most now is, what kind of private treasure trove or collection did the dead Thacker wizard have?" Alice was as cute as a delicate porcelain doll.
A smile appeared on the little face: "You have already dealt with these things, right?"
The faces of the four surrendered apprentices showed a look of horror, and the noble butler even lowered his head.
"Don't dare, Lady Alice. Wizard Thacker has built his own collection room, laboratory and study room on the third floor of the castle. Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering there. Even the former Miss Celia was strictly prohibited from entering unless she was summoned.
"The aristocratic butler showed an awkward smile on his face: "So we don't know anything about what's inside!"
"Oh, there's still this matter?" Alice's eyes lit up immediately.
To be honest, as a wizard apprentice, who would not be curious about the witchcraft laboratory established by an experienced wizard? It must be very interesting to go there to explore and hunt for treasures!
Alice immediately rushed back behind the screen like a whirlwind. When she appeared in front of everyone again, she was wearing a tailored gray robe, a short and exquisite magic wand, a golden birdcage, a wisdom ring, and neat glass test tubes.
The waist is lined up, and Alice's fair and delicate fingers are almost covered with witchcraft rings that shine with mysterious fluorescence.
Even the sharp deerskin boots under Alice's feet were faintly flashing with the light of witchcraft.
"Okay, okay, I'm ready!" Alice shouted excitedly: "Let's set out now to explore Wizard Thacker's laboratory..."
"We?" The four wizard apprentices raised their heads in unison, with ominous signs emerging in their hearts.
"Of course it's us!" Alice clenched her fists and became impatient: "You are all here to protect me, of course you have to accompany me in!"
The faces of the four wizard apprentices instantly turned pale.
…………
Wizard Thacker's laboratory is located on the third floor of the main building of the castle.
Following the wooden spiral staircase, Alice and the four apprentices successfully set foot in this unfamiliar territory.
What appeared before them was a quiet, deep and dark corridor.
Small candlesticks were placed at regular intervals on the walls on both sides of the corridor. Perhaps sensing the arrival of the breath of life, with a soft sound, the candle closest to them lit up silently. Then one candlestick after another
It lights up and extends bit by bit deeper into the corridor.
The candlelight was very dim and could only illuminate the half-meter area near the candlestick.
The dim yellow candlelight danced, adding a strange and mysterious flavor to the dark and deep corridor!
Thinking of these creepy things, everyone couldn't help but feel their knees twisting. If Alice hadn't been watching them from behind, the four wizard apprentices would have dispersed and fled.
Exploring the laboratory of a veteran wizard? This is no safer than exploring some ancient ruins!
As an elite wizard, Wizard Thacker said that if his witchcraft laboratory did not set up any warning mechanism, no one would believe him if he was trying to deceive children.
This abominable Alice was shouting wildly before setting off, but as soon as she stepped onto the third floor, she naturally shrank behind the four wizard apprentices, looking confident and confident, as she should.
"Will, you go in front!" Alice ordered, waving her little fist.
The guy named Will was just an intermediate apprentice, and was undoubtedly the weakest among the four. At this moment, when Alice named him, he turned around and looked at the evasive eyes of his three companions. He knew that this matter was inevitable and there was no way.
Someone will intercede for him.
Will could only grit his teeth and take out a white finger bone, blessed himself with a bone shield, and then cautiously stepped into the corridor.
