Aurelia held two knives and groped forward cautiously. Originally, she had been following Lily, but she disappeared after Lily turned a corner. It was obvious that she had fallen into a magic trap by mistake. In the mage tower,
Especially running around in a wizard tower with a very powerful master is definitely not a wise decision. If you just fall into a magic trap, you may be lucky, because most magicians will place counterattack spells in their own wizard towers.
Shilai came to kill Xiao Xiao who dared to sneak into the mage tower.
Although Aurelia has not learned magic, the elves' natural talent for magic allows Aurelia to perceive the existence of most magic traps. Even so, the owner of the mage tower exists in the mage tower and notices the intruder.
, can completely manipulate and activate those magic mechanisms freely, even if Aurelia discovers the existence of the trap, she will fall into it.
But the strange thing is that the other party did not do this. Aurelia did not think that the other party had good intentions, otherwise Lily and Ji Ye would not have been captured by the other party. Aurelia guessed that if the other party was not distracted from dealing with Lily and others,
Having no time to take care of yourself means that the other party has other things to do now and cannot spend too much energy on yourself.
Aurelia is more inclined to the second guess. Judging from the words of the charming man before, I am afraid that Ji Ye, who has always been mysterious and often distracted, has many secrets hidden from Lily and herself. But because as her master
Lily didn't care, and Aurelia naturally couldn't say anything.
Carefully avoiding those magic traps, Aurelia came to a hall. During the days of escape after the failed assassination of the Elf King, Aurelia entered many wizard towers and stole some materials and props, so for
She has a lot of experience in how to move within the mage tower. As long as the opponent is not crazy enough to set up a trap in the teleportation circle that is used daily, Aurelia can touch the core of the mage tower with her experience.
Most mage towers will be equipped with teleportation circles for easy movement. Of course, a small number will build stairs to prevent the teleportation circle from malfunctioning. But generally speaking, few mages will waste time walking up the stairs, so they will set up various teleportation circles on the stairs.
It is a kind of magic trap. But the teleportation circle used daily will not be like this. After all, once you step into the magic trap by mistake, wouldn't it be self-inflicted?
As expected by Aurelia, the hall connecting all the rooms is the best place to place the teleportation circle, and this mage tower is no exception. Just when Aurelia was about to wonder if there was anything fishy about the teleportation circle.
, the entire magic circle suddenly lit up! Aurelia's eyes narrowed, and she hid behind the pillars in the hall.
Two people... Aurelia's pointed ears moved, and she heard that the two people teleported here using the magic circle seemed to be injured, and... they were acquaintances.
"Based on the traces of the use of the teleportation circle, there should be trapped friends here." The young man who spoke was Fan, and the other person was Xingyun. "This floor used to be a place for rest...
My room should be over there."
"Would you like to go over and take a look?" Xingyun's legs have recovered a bit, so naturally she doesn't want to let Fan hold her anymore, "I always feel like you miss that time very much."
"Nostalgic? Maybe..." Fan smiled bitterly, without comment, "Let's go find our companions first. It's strange... why can't we hear the sound of fighting?"
Aurelia walked out from behind the pillar, only to find that Fan and Xingyun had their backs to her. What was even more speechless was that they stood there for a long time without noticing her. It should be said that her stealth skills were too strong.
Or maybe the two people in front of them had poor awareness of precautions... Helpless, Aurelia had no choice but to say: "Young Genos, it seems that you are all safe."
Fan and Xingyun turned their heads in surprise, looking at Aurelia who appeared behind them like a ghost, and asked with some uncertainty: "Are you...Aurelia? Where's Lily?"
Ever since he saw Watch's appearance, Fan understood that his mentor might have fallen into darkness and was using living human beings to study forbidden magic. If someone who could transform into someone else appeared, Fan would not be surprised.
So it's better to be careful.
Aurelia frowned, obviously unhappy with being suspected like this. She put her swords into their sheaths and responded calmly: "Lily fell into a magic trap by mistake. I don't know where she is now. Ji Ye was tricked by some weird people."
They were captured, I think we must find the owner of this tower quickly and rescue them."
"Ji Ye and Lily were captured?!" Fan immediately thought of the several times that the Holy Book of the Dead spied on Lily and Ji Ye's original work on the Holy Book of the Dead - I'm afraid they came to the mage tower of Jambis rashly this time.
It’s completely self-inflicted!
Compared to Aurelia, Van is more familiar with everything in this mage tower. There are three most likely places where Master James is hiding. One is James's room near the top of the tower, and the other is in the tower.
There is the center of the Mage Tower in the center of the tower, and there is also a large testing ground located underground in the Mage Tower. The defenses in these three places are tighter than other places in the tower.
"Then the three of us need to search separately?" Xingyun shook her ears and asked in distress, "Three places... are a bit too much!"
Aurelia shook her head and said: "It is easier to be defeated one by one if we are separated, so it is better to act together. By the way, young Genos, if you reach the center of the mage tower, can you operate or disrupt the operation of this mage tower?"
Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "I have never entered there. Master James has never allowed us to get close. However, I heard from those apprentices who were lucky enough to witness the center.
There is absolutely no way to drive it.”
After hearing Fan's answer, Aurelia thought about it carefully and finally decided: "In that case, let's go to the underground experimental site first. If there is no one there, we will break into the center."
"Why don't you consider going to James's room?" Xingyun asked doubtfully as her rabbit ears drooped in front of her head moved.
Aurelia sighed and explained: "Obviously there are other people in the other party besides Zhanbis, and it is not very likely that they will all gather in Zhanbis's room alone. I think they took Ji Ye away,
We shouldn’t take the risk of taking her to the Mage Tower Center, so the most likely place is the underground experimental site.”
Fan Ye nodded and agreed with Aurelia's guess, and immediately led Aurelia and Xingyun into the teleportation array.
Compared with the upper part of the mage tower, the underground laboratory of this mage tower is really unexpectedly large. The entire experimental field is almost thousands of square meters, and there are no wall partitions. It is wide and empty, completely different from what Fan remembers.
Same.
In the center of the experimental site, there is a pool of more than thirty square meters. Weird black-purple potion is constantly churning, emitting a sour smell. Ji Ye is lying on a long stone platform beside the potion pool.
, strange cyan rays of light were constantly pouring from her head into the potion pool. Above the potion pool, the strange parts used by Ji Ye to stop time were hovering there, spinning feebly.
"Hey hey hey... you guys are late." A bald man with pustules on his face stood by the potion pool, smiling weakly and sinisterly, looking at the three Aurelias who came here through the teleportation circle without surprise.
, "My mission has been completed..."
"Are you...Rike?!" Fan stared at the bald man in surprise. If it weren't for the fact that his voice was somewhat familiar, his hair was missing, and his face was covered with pustules, it would have been difficult to recognize him.
"Ah...is it Fan?" Lake was stunned for a moment and recognized Fan. "What a pity. You came too late. Even if you kill me now, you won't be able to stop the mentor's plan."
"What did you do to Ji Ye?!" Fan's mood was a little complicated. When he was in the mage tower, only Lake would not bully him. It can be said that Fan had a good impression of Lake, but he didn't expect that he would also
Will he choose to seek refuge in the Holy Book of the Dead? No, maybe he was forced to do so by Master Jambis?
"Ah... it's done. Don't you know it when you see it for yourself?" Lake smiled weakly. As soon as he finished speaking, a whirlpool appeared in the churning potion pool, as if something was about to come.
Chapter completed!
