Lucien, who was a little numb from the electricity, looked at the left wall blankly. It took him a few seconds to react. Then he walked to the wall, faced the location where the knocking sound came from, and lowered his voice: "Who?"
"Adam who lives next door to you, buddy, didn't we meet just now?" As a low magnetic voice sounded, the stone bricks at that location suddenly moved and dented in the opposite direction.
With a rustling sound, the stone brick was magically removed, revealing a penetrating hollow and a pair of dark blue eyes.
"Not protected by a magic circle?" Lucien imitated Natasha and raised his left eyebrow, asking slightly in surprise.
In the magic tower of an at least high-level magician, the walls are not reinforced and soundproofed with magic arrays. Moreover, this is a prison cell, and it doesn't even have the basic ability to prevent damage!
A smile appeared on Adam's chiseled face: "Because this is a place where demons are imprisoned! Although there are many mineral veins and terrifying magical creatures nearby and in the forest, the varieties are seriously incomplete and very dangerous. A magic tower can be built
It is already a manifestation of the old witch's strength and rich savings. Therefore, except for the constant magic circle protection in the outer and core parts of this magic tower, the rest is an ordinary building. Hey, man, after saying so much, it is not
Do you know what to call you?"
He seemed to be holding back his words because he hadn't interacted with normal people for a long time. He was not as tough as he looked at all.
"Mr. Adam, you can call me Lucien. By the way, how did you dig out this stone brick?" Lucien habitually remained polite.
Adam looked at Lucien's eyes through the void, blinked, and said, "What a polite person. Hey, man, are you a magician or a knight? Low-level, or mid-level?"
"Magician, intermediate level."
Hearing Lucien's concise answer, Adam smiled and said: "Say, man, we are all experimental materials, why are we so reserved? Just call me Adam, the great knight of dark blood, Adam."
Then he stretched out his right hand, and the nails that had not been trimmed for a long time shone with a sharp cold light. "I used my nails to slowly dig out the stone bricks. The imprisonment bracelet can suppress the power of my blood. But it cannot change my changed body.
Go back to the way it was before.”
Lucien looked down at his cleanly cut nails and said humorously: "If there were no old witches here and just ordinary guards guarding us, then we could successfully escape with our nails. Adam, you know the situation nearby.
What? Also, do you know what experiments the old witch is doing? After I fainted in the dark mountains, I woke up in the cell and didn’t know anything."
Adam's excitement of not communicating with anyone for a long time slowly subsided, and his tone became solemn: "Man, it's useless to know the situation. There are two cities and many villages within the defense range of the magic tower. The people inside should be those who have been killed in the past many years.
The descendants of humans trapped in the Devil's Land say that there was once a village on the edge of a dark mountain that was swallowed whole."
"Surrounding this area further away is a gigantic forest similar to the Dark Mountains. It is very dangerous. There are scarlet magic trees, killer vines, three-armed trolls, feathered snakes, basilisks and other powerful dark creatures. I just fell into
It was there in the Devil's Land, and I almost couldn't get out of the forest. I don't know what else is further away in the forest. According to the law that the monsters get stronger the further you go to the outside world, I'm afraid there will be Chimeras, Soul-Recovering Demons, and Lions.
Top-notch creatures such as beasts with human faces and giant dragons.”
He inferred the species based on the monsters that appeared in the Dark Mountains.
After introducing the surrounding situation, Adam's voice became deeper and deeper: "There is an ancient ruin under this magic tower, which seems to be related to the secret of the Forbidden Land. The old witch has been trying to crack it to find a way out of here, but she is limited by her strength.
With only seven or eight rings, she always fails to succeed, so most of her experiments are how to use limited resources to improve her magic strength."
"By the way, her soul and body were contaminated in a certain magic experiment accident, and she can no longer transform into her youthful appearance. Her life is passing rapidly, so she is still looking for a solution to this problem."
Feeling that Adam's tone became more and more fearful the further he spoke, Lucien asked doubtfully and worriedly: "Does the old witch already have a way to solve this problem? And we are the materials for this experiment?"
Adam said with deep fear: "The old witch's soul was polluted. After changing into several girls' bodies, she could not restrain herself from aging rapidly. She could not maintain it for even a minute, so she believed that the core of the problem was in the soul and wanted to try to separate it.
The soul, divide the unpolluted part, completely disconnect from the original soul, lest the pollution cannot be eradicated, and then cultivate and strengthen it to become another self."
Lucien swallowed with some difficulty: "Then who will listen to whom after the division? Who is the old witch?"
As far as Lucien's knowledge is concerned, no real soul division experiment has been successful so far. Even the part of the soul separated and hidden in the phylactery by the Lich Transformation Technique and the fingers cut off by the Life Hiding Technique are not the same as the original soul.
Completely disconnected from the body, but still connected in some magical way.
No matter how far apart, the soul in the phylactery will be resurrected only when the original soul dies. There will be no philosophical or cognitive conflict. And if there is some kind of attack that can interfere with this connection, the resurrected soul will be resurrected.
It will also bring the same injuries.
Adam smiled bitterly and blinked: "Who knows? Anyway, all the guys whose souls were divided by the old witch died on the spot, and their souls dissipated, without exception."
He pointed to the wall behind Lucien: "The guy in that cell will undergo the experiment tonight. If he doesn't come back, it means the experiment failed again. If the experiment succeeds, maybe we can be free."
.”
"If the experiment is successful..." Lucien repeated, without continuing, he just thought solemnly in his heart that with the cloning technology, it might mean that a path to immortality would emerge.
Among the current magic achievements, even if one is perfectly transformed into a lich or extends one's lifespan in other ways, the soul will inevitably show signs of decay as time goes by. And if the part that has not yet begun to age is divided, it will still be affected by the original.
Therefore, the longest-lived legendary magician in the records of the Magic Council is 6,449 years old, and the others either died before this age or disappeared inexplicably.
Adam lowered his voice again: "Man, I have to remind you that you have to prepare early."
"What?" Lucien raised his head and looked at the wall with a missing stone brick. Opposite him was Adam's dark blue eyes.
"The old witch believes that the main reason for the failure of the experiment is that the soul 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 try her best to improve
The strength of your soul is both a danger and an opportunity for you." Adam's magnetic and deep voice brought Lucien some not-so-good news.
Lucien took a deep breath and nodded gently: "I will look for opportunities. Adam, can you tell me what you know about the internal structure of the magic tower? For example, where is the energy room?"
"No problem. If you need any help, you can come to me." Adam answered boldly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
After some exchanges, Adam put the stone bricks back into the distance for fear of being discovered by the servants.
Lucien walked back to the bed in silence and sat down. He didn't pay attention to Adam's idea of trying to hide behind Adam's back while he encouraged him to find a way to escape, because no matter what, he would try hard to get some information from him.
After eating the dinner brought by the servant, Lucien took the time to sleep and recover his strength. Next, it was time to find a way to release the imprisonment bracelet.
…………
In the middle of the night, the iron door was suddenly opened, and the red-faced young servant said coldly to Lucien, who turned over and sat up: "Master asked me to take you to bask in the moonlight, which will help your body and soul recover."
Although he instantly thought of the word "exerting" from his previous life, Lucien would not refuse the opportunity to go out for a walk. He quickly followed the young servant to the protruding terrace of the magic tower on this floor.
The silver moon hangs high, and its cold brilliance is no different from the outside world. When it shines on the terrace, it reflects a silvery rippling light and shadow.
All the cells in Lucien's body sucked up the moonlight extremely thirstily, allowing him to quickly recover from his unhealed injuries.
"Hey, man, are you out too?" Adam's enthusiastic voice came from behind Lucien.
Lucien turned his head and smiled: "Hey, Adam, do you want to bathe in the darkness?"
"Yes, I also participated in the experiment in the afternoon. Of course, I participated as experimental material." Adam opened his mouth, and his bright smile softened his tough lines. He huddled in the corner where the moonlight was blocked, and seemed to be in harmony with the moonlight.
The darkness merged together.
Then, he lowered his voice and said, "That guy didn't come back."
"What a pity." Lucien replied "sadly".
The terrace was not high from the ground, but the old witch was not worried at all about the two guys whose power was trapped being able to escape from the magic tower. Lucien and Adam had no other ideas for the time being, chatting casually about the surrounding dark forest.
Suddenly, a bright light bloomed on the small hill in front, turning it like daylight.
Lucien, who was leaning on the edge of the terrace, saw two men and two women running out of the hill with sharp eyes. They rushed towards the magic tower with agility, as if they had just stepped on some magic trap.
"Wow, that's right. This time the adventure team has two second-level knights, a second-level magician, and a formal knight." Adam left the darkness and looked excitedly at the traps and skeletons below.
Two men and two women serving as servants.
Lucien turned to look at him in confusion: "What?"
"The old witch is very lazy except for studying and experimenting with magic. In order to prevent the experimental materials from becoming extinct, she left various exercise methods and many magic books to stimulate blood power in nearby villages and cities, and then hid the magic tower so that
They develop it themselves so that the experimental materials don't become lifeless."
"At the same time, she sent people to secretly spread the news, saying that there is a magic tower hiding countless treasures and infinite power. As long as you find the magic tower, lift the seal, and defeat the evil witch, you can get everything. So the experimental materials
They often deliver them to your door, so you don’t have to look for them yourself." Adam watched the "fierce" battle below with relish.
