"There's no energy here," Hathaway said as she looked at the wizard tower in front of her.
"That is to say, more than 90% of the defense facilities inside, including the runic array, have stopped working."
"Isn't that better? It saves us a lot of trouble, "Suhlen said with a smile." Let's go in and have a look! "
Everyone cast a protective spell, and then Suhlen stepped in first. No one had come to this wizard tower for thousands of years. As soon as the door was pushed open, a thick layer of dust was stirred up. Suhlen frowned. A gust of wind blew in through the door, and after a few seconds, it flew out of the door with a lot of dust.
Suhlen entered the wizard tower. Because there was no energy, the wizard tower was dark. Suhlen snapped his fingers, and a soft ball of light appeared, illuminating the whole space.
The hall of the wizard tower looked dilapidated, but from the dim decorations and rotten furniture, one could still see how luxurious it used to be. The crystal chandelier in the hall had been smashed to the ground, and the carpet under their feet had decayed into a black mass. Many glassware had been broken, and the inlaid gold foil had lost its luster. It seemed to have no value at all.
Suhlen didn't stay here for long. There was basically nothing to be gained in the hall. He simply identified the direction and walked upstairs.
The second floor of the wizard tower was a rest area. Several people searched different rooms, but they didn't find anything valuable except decayed things.
The wizards who originally lived here seemed to have left in a hurry. The room looked very messy, but the valuable items had been taken away. Several people searched, but except for some arcane gold coins and a few magic props that had lost their magic power, there was nothing else.
Suhlen continued to search the upper floor of the wizard tower, and soon the group came to the top of the wizard tower. As soon as they arrived, Suhlen's body slightly stagnated, and then he recovered.
The scene in front of him surprised him. At the top of the wizard tower was a laboratory. Although thousands of years had passed, it could still be seen that this was a high-end alchemy laboratory. There was a wide test bench and a dazzling array of glassware. Although there was a thick layer of dust, it could still be seen that they were well-preserved.
In the middle of the laboratory, there was a round cover. The cover looked like a glass cover. It was covered with dust, but they could still see what was inside. In the middle of the glass cover was a table that looked like an operating table. On this table was a tall skeleton.
The skeleton's limbs and neck were all locked by metal shackles. This skeleton was not human. It had sharp fangs, thick bones, and horns on its head like a cow's, but much bigger than a cow's horns. Its two arms looked like a pair of scorpion's pincers, and there were two human-like arms on its chest. Its legs were thick and powerful, similar to the joints of cows and horses. There were three sharp toes on each foot, and there was a pair of bone wings on both sides of the spine.
Suhlen recognized the type of skeleton in front of him at a glance. Not long ago, he had seen many in the Abyss. The skeleton in front of him was a demon, and it was a high-grade demon. Judging from the characteristics of its body, it was likely to be a Glabrezu.
It was a type of High Demon with a challenge rating of Level 16 and above. It was a Beguiler. It had violet eyes and dark brown and black skin. This type of Demon was about 18 feet tall and weighed about 5,500 pounds. Although this type of Demon was powerful, it preferred to deceive rather than fight head-on.
Of course, once the deceit failed or was exposed, this kind of demon would fly into a rage out of humiliation and directly launch a fierce attack. This kind of demon could perform a wish spell for a mortal once, so they often used this ability to fulfill any wish of a mortal. However, the price was often extremely high, and of course, the result of this wish would not be too good.
Compared to other demons, Glabrezu were experts in deception and lying. They would use illusion to hide their true appearance and use all kinds of lies and tricks to trick people. This demon was like a Balor, and it was often used as a commander in the demon army.
"The master of this wizard tower is not simple!"
A gust of wind element flew by, and the dust on the glass cover was blown away. The situation inside was completely exposed.
"A Glabrezu. This may be the only Glabrezu I've seen that was starved to death!" Suhlen looked at the skeleton in front of him and said with a smile.
"It may also be the longest-lived Glabrezu!" Hathaway joked.
Although demons usually had a lifespan of thousands of years, so far, there was no demon in the multiverse that died of old age.
"This should be a demon that was caught or summoned by the master of the wizard tower, and then forcibly imprisoned here for research." Hathaway stepped forward and looked at the demon in the glass cover.
"It is said that in the era of the Arcane Empire, the arcanists even occupied a few layers of the Abyss and turned them into their colonies. Maybe this demon was caught and sold here."
"But no matter what, this shows that the ruins we are in now are very dangerous."
"Hathaway, can you open this glass cover?" Suhlen reached out and knocked on the glass cover twice. The glass cover made a knocking sound. The quality of the cover was very good, and it was used by the arcanists to imprison demons. One could imagine how strong this cover was.
"Let me look for it." Hathaway looked around for a while and finally found an open button on the experiment table, but after pressing it, the glass cover did not open.
"Looks like it's not this button." After waiting for a while and nothing happened, Alex shrugged and said.
"No, the energy here has long been exhausted, so even if there is an open button, the cover will not open." Suhlen observed in front of the glass cover for a while and then a flash of light flashed on his body. He reached out and slightly exerted force on the glass cover, and a squeaking mechanical sound was heard. This sound was like the sound of a door shaft that had not been lubricated for decades. It was hoarse and unpleasant.
Suhlen slowly lifted the glass cover in the squeaking sound. With a click, the glass cover was completely opened. Suhlen came to the operation table and picked up a demon skeleton to check.
"It's useless!" After a while, Suhlen threw away the demon skeleton in his hand with disappointment. "It's been too long. The magic on these bones has completely dissipated, and they have become ordinary bones. There is no use at all."
