Karina tried hard to get rid of the old witch's power and the vague truth behind the matter, and asked Lucien with a polite smile: "Sir, are you also a legendary strong man?"
?But none of the famous mid-level magicians fit your image."
Karina, who came from a good background and successfully became a magician, has always been an arrogant and confident girl, but Adam is a "legendary" outside the magic tower. He is powerful and has a fierce style, which also leads to the prisoner Lucy who seems to have the same status as him.
En also became a legendary strong man in the eyes of Karina and others, so they had to deal with it politely.
Lucien smiled and shook his head: "I am just an unknown magician, not a legendary figure, and I only came one day earlier than you. You can call me Lucien."
"Come a day early? Mr. Lucien, are you not from here?" The other tall and beautiful girl Ophelia looked at Lucien, Alva, Brad, and Karina in surprise. The same was true for Lucien, Alva, Brad, and Karina.
expression.
The look in their eyes always gave Lucien the illusion that he had become a rare beast in the zoo, being watched by humans outside the iron railings, so the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Haven't you seen outsiders? People here
They should all be descendants of outsiders, right?"
Perhaps realizing that her curious and probing eyes were too much, Carina smiled awkwardly with a blushing face: "I'm sorry. Mr. Lucien, we have indeed never seen outsiders. Although many families with long histories have ancestors
It’s a story about coming from the outside world and being trapped here unable to get out, but for hundreds of years, people in cities and villages have multiplied and multiplied, fought against the surrounding beasts and monsters, and gradually developed and grown, but they have never encountered outsiders.”
Adam chuckled beside him and said: "Actually, there have always been, but unless they are swallowed up on a large scale, a small number of outsiders will first choose to hide their identities and blend into human society, such as me, and many outsiders are either killed by the forest.
Kill the monsters in it, or be caught directly by the old witch. For example, Lucien, this unlucky guy."
"Old witch?" Carina, Alva, Ophelia and Brad backed away from Adam almost at the same time.
He dared to directly call the owner of the magic tower an old witch? He and others only dared to curse in their hearts! Although he used to be domineering, he has become a prisoner now. Isn't he afraid that the old witch will arrest him and punish him severely, or even
Kill?
Seeing their actions of avoiding monsters, Adam understood that they were worried about being implicated. He smiled wryly and spread his hands: "It doesn't matter, the old witch never cares about what we say, she only cares about her experiments and appearance, don't you think they didn't respond either?
"He was talking about the servants who guarded the prisoners.
Seeing Adam's eyes looking at him and the others, the red-faced servant stared back fiercely: "Adam, if you discuss this matter again, I will whip you hard with a whip!"
He didn't dare to report the "old witch" to the witch. Legend has it that a long time ago, a servant was eager to do something good and reported to the witch that there were experimental materials and secretly called her the old witch. As a result, the witch repeated with a cold voice from between her teeth.
After saying "old witch" several times, everyone who said this word will be executed, whether they are prisoners or servants.
The reaction of the servants dispelled the concerns of Karina and others, and they all sighed: "Mr. Adam, you are an outsider. No wonder you are so powerful when you appear. From this inference, those gentlemen similar to you should also be
Outsiders.”
Then, strong curiosity came to their hearts, and Brad, the young knight, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Adam, Mr. Lucien, what is the outside world like? Are there those poems and stories that tell such beautiful stories?"
?Are there many strong people who are no worse than witches?"
Adam pointed at Lucien, who was thoughtful next to him: "I have been trapped in a place of confinement for decades, and I don't know much about the situation outside. Let Lucien tell me."
Several servants not far away stopped talking to each other and focused their attention on Lucien. They were also curious about the outside world, and life in the magic tower was extremely boring. It was good to listen to stories.
Lucien thought about something worthy of attention that he had just discovered from Carina's words, and said casually: "The outside world is many times bigger than here. There are not only the dark and terrifying black forest, but also green and emerald lakes.
Towering peaks, golden harvest plains, crowded and bustling cities, buildings floating in the sky..."
Although it is only a rough description, the scenery that is completely different from here still makes Karina and others listen with interest, especially the city in the sky, the magic steam train that can run to high altitudes, and the completely unimaginable form of magic council
, that incredible alchemical life makes them yearn for it.
"There are so many wonderful places in this world, and there is actually a city in the sky." Karina looked at the silver moon in the sky with confusion, as if it was hard to believe that a city could fly there, and then she was better than her companions.
He asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Lucien, do you know how powerful the Magic Council is?"
Lucien looked at the several levels of magic towers above the terrace and said in a calm tone: "Magicians like the old witch can be found everywhere in the Magic Council."
"You can see them everywhere..." Even Adam was shocked by Lucien's description. In his impression, high-level magicians and knights were rare no matter where they were. No matter how powerful the Magic Council was,
Wouldn't a mid-level magician be able to meet a high-level magician at any time?
Lucien smiled and said: "What I said is all true, at least for me." Of course, the premise is that I can obtain the Holm Crown Ring like me and get the approval of the higher-ups of the Elemental Will.
Then, Lucien emphasized: "And there are many magicians who are ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times more powerful than her."
"Really?" Karina felt that this was beyond her imagination. She, Alva and others looked at Lucien with more awe and trust.
Seeing that deliberately showing off the power of the Magic Council had succeeded in making the prisoners in desperate situations vaguely regard him as someone they could follow. Lucien nodded with satisfaction, looked at several servants, and said "arrogantly": "This time I fell into
The place of confinement is because I am delivering a message to the Dark Mountains for a certain Excellency. Maybe it will not be long before someone comes to rescue me. In front of the legendary magician, the old witch is like an ant, she can be crushed to death as much as she wants."
The old witch is almost a lunatic, and she is trapped here and can't get out. She doesn't worry about the legendary magician at all, but her servants are still normal people. After hearing Lucien's words "the aura of the king is wild".
His expression changed slightly.
Lucien did not continue to show off, because it is difficult for others to believe empty words. It is better to stop and let the servants, Carina and others use their imagination to fill in the gaps. And they do not need to truly believe it. As long as it can be in their hearts
Leave this impression. Just interfere with their judgment and decision-making at critical moments. Anyway, this is the icing on the cake.
"Legendary magicians? How powerful are they?" As a magician, Karina asked this question almost instinctively.
Adam answered for Lucien: "It can easily destroy this magic tower. Destroy nearby cities and villages, and destroy the surrounding dark forests..."
Having never seen the legend take action, he answered according to his imagination, startling Karina and others again, and making the servants' eyes flicker.
After a moment of silence, Carina looked at Lucien with a passion for the Magic Council and the legendary magician: "Mr. Lucien, what level of magic are you? What is your status in the Magic Council? Old witch
Approximately how many rings are there?”
Lucien sighed softly: "No need to call me sir, we are all prisoners, there is no distinction between high and low. I am only one of the many mid-level magicians in the Magic Council, and I am still far away from the high-level. In fact,
There is nothing to be proud of, and the old witch probably has seven or eight rings." It is enough to reveal the strength of the middle level, there is no need to reveal the specific level.
"Mid-level magician? You are indeed a mid-level magician!" Karina said with surprise. In this area with serious deficiencies in resources and knowledge, intermediate magicians are very rare and are even more difficult to be promoted than the great knights. Therefore, it is confirmed that
After Lucien became an intermediate magician, Carina, a girl aspiring to the path of magic, showed reverence and enthusiasm just like Alva, Brad, Ophelia and others when they saw Adam.
But Ophelia, Alva and others couldn't help but take a few steps back and said with pale faces: "The old witch has seven or eight rings?"
The strength of Karina, a second-level magician, is obvious to all. How powerful will a seventh- and eighth-level magician be? Why is she hiding in the magic tower and not ruling the nearby territory?
Seeing that they seemed to have some guesses, Adam nodded and affirmed: "The old witch is not interested in rule, she is only crazy about magic and experiments. She spread all the rumors about the magic tower."
The bright curtain covering her past life was ruthlessly lifted, revealing the darkness and despair below. Karina quickly fell from the joy of meeting an intermediate magician into a seemingly endless abyss.
"Are we just lambs raised in captivity?" Ophelia asked herself with some difficulty and despair, unable to see any hope in life.
Lucien ignored their confusion and directly asked the question that had just appeared in his mind: "When did the legend about the magic tower appear? When did the magicians and knights first disappear?"
"Probably more than five hundred years ago." Karina answered uncertainly.
Lucien did not ask further questions, but just speculated: "The old witch was trapped in a place of confinement before the Magic Council was established? Then she may not know the arcana. If he can become her assistant and show her a few 'magical' experiments,
Maybe we can blow her head off directly. However, the old witch is mentally unstable and it is difficult to communicate and arouse her interest, so we have to focus on other methods."
For Lucien, the most important thing at the moment is to get rid of the restraining bracelet and the magic-forbidden collar. Without mental power and bloodline power, the easiest way is to find a place with an anti-magic circle. As long as you go in, these two
A magic item will lose its effect. Unfortunately, so far, Lucien has not found an anti-magic field in the magic tower, so he can only think of other ways.
After exchanging some more information, the emotions of Carina and others gradually stabilized. Anyway, they were all caught and used as experimental materials. It couldn't be any worse, and Lucien's "identity background" is scary.
With the mid-level magicians here, they will inevitably have some hope.
…………
Two days later, when Lucien was still digging the stone bricks on the right wall with his fingernails, the old witch went against the norm and sent someone to take him to the magic laboratory.
Along the way, Lucien carefully observed the flesh-and-blood puppet knights guarding key positions and the sharp and bright giant axes and giant swords in their hands.
The door of the laboratory opened from the inside, and Lucien saw Ophelia tied to the dissecting table, while the old witch was holding a dark mirror next to her, looking at her withered and wrinkled face, muttering strange words.
Spell: "Mirror, Mirror, tell me, who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Ah?" Lucien, who almost started singing along, felt even more weird. (To be continued...)
