Facing Sheyan's casual shouts, Lurtz took a step forward. His eyes flickered with a cruel glint, as he started to unbuckle the great bow on his back.
He had always disliked humans, and this human in front of him was even more disgusting. (Incompatibility plus Sheyan's impressive + 3 charm) Furthermore, Sheyan's roar towards the orcs added fuel to the fire, as Lurtz directly used his bow to strangle Sheyan to death! Then he would turn Sheyan into a main dish for his dinner.
But at this moment, Saruman's doppelgänger shook his head. This slight movement was like an iron shackle on Luz's wrist, causing him to be unable to move. He didn't dare to move!! Luz released a muffled roar from his throat as he frantically suppressed his rage. If this was any other place, the surrounding trees and rocks would have become his target to vent his anger. However, in front of Saruman's doppelganger, Luz's only method of venting was to clench his fists even tighter.
He watched as Sheyan picked up a knife and pliers, skillfully dismantling the snow bear. Cutting it up, removing its blood, cleaning it, roasting it, and finally creating a casting material. Saruman's clone's gaze turned gentle. Maybe Sheyan's words were exaggerated, but in this place, a skilled human assistant was indeed much better than these orcs! Coincidentally, Saruman's doppelgänger's experiment had reached a critical juncture. Indeed, he needed a capable assistant to deal with these trivial matters that required a certain level of technical content.
"Perhaps letting him stay for a few days isn't a bad thing, I'll just have to deal with him in the end."
Saruman's doppelganger suddenly had such a thought. His current energy was indeed tied up in the chores of crafting materials. If he were to leave it to the uruk-hais, he would be able to do it. One had to admit, the muscles in their brains were much more than the medulla in their brains, and the difference in efficiency was too great. Of course, the reason why Saruman's doppelganger had such thoughts, was because of Sheyan's inferior strength.
No matter who it was, in front of a 'fly' that could be pinched to death, no one would have too many misgivings. Moreover, this' fly 'had an inescapable net surrounding it! This double insurance naturally reduced the vigilance of Saruman's doppelganger to a relatively weak level.
"You will get a clean place to stay, but in terms of food, the half-beastmen can only provide you with raw materials for cooking. Of course, if you have the same taste as them, you can ignore what I said earlier." Saruman's doppelganger said with an emotionless voice.
"You can go to work now. My servant will take you to the cellar! Mister Seaman, it's four o 'clock in the afternoon. I want at least ten sets of high-quality casting materials before eight o' clock in the evening! Otherwise, you will be punished. "
"You will get what you want, my lord! However, I still have one last humble request. It's as simple as lifting a finger for you. "Sheyan immediately seized the opportunity and said.
Saruman's avatar stopped in his tracks.
"I hope that while serving Sir, my friends and the woman I love can also enjoy better treatment, and not be bullied in that dirty prison cell. Furthermore, if I find out that they have been secretly executed after exhausting myself from working for you, I will be heartbroken. "
Although Saruman was expressionless, he felt more at ease. A weak little human with apprehensions and a hostage, what could he do? Thus, he very bluntly nodded.
In actual fact, Sheyan didn't want to cause any trouble. He believed that these half-beastmen slave hunters weren't bandits trying to extort ransom money. What awaited these prisoners was a tragic and hopeless fate. What Sheyan wanted to do was to delay this moment a little longer. Speaking bluntly, even if everyone was dragged to be killed, Sheyan would still try his best to delay his and Reef's execution to the very end.
"Lurtz." Saruman's doppelganger raised his magic staff, and calmly said. "I feel that Mister Seaman's request is rather reasonable."
Lurtz released a muffled groan from his throat, then he glared fiercely at Sheyan before striding out.
Then, this powerful wizard gestured for Sheyan to follow, but he didn't bring Sheyan to the upper levels of the wizard tower. Instead, he directly headed down, entering the lowest level of the ice cellar. This ice cellar was extremely cold, but it was filled with frozen corpses of various creatures. Within the ice cellar, a strange yet powerful creature was shuttling back and forth.
Their appearance was similar to a skinny and weak land octopus. They didn't have any bones or torso, but their intellect was relatively high. Their heads were greyish and gigantic soft heads, on top of their heads was a circle of enormous eyes. Below their heads were 7-8 octopus like tentacles. Usually, they used these incomparably nimble tentacles to move, live and work. When Sheyan observed the multiple eyes on their heads, he felt a heartfelt sense of danger. If he wanted to fight with these creatures, then he had to be wary of those damned eyes.
Saruman called these tentacle creatures' Ocean-freak's tentacles'. Sheyan didn't know why, but he suddenly recalled the original storyline where the colossal octopus Ocean-freak Moria lived in the lake. Even the mighty Fellowship of the Ring didn't dare to clash with it, and was forced to retreat into the ruins of the Mines of Moria. Saruman's doppelganger's name for these creatures, seemed to be hinting that they had some sort of relationship with the octopus.
Under the surveillance of these Ocean-freak's tentacles, don't talk about escaping, even his personal freedom was greatly restricted. He could only diligently and tirelessly be forced to work. Fortunately, his objective was to delay for time, and disassembling materials was indeed a technical job. Hence, if he wanted to slack off, it would be impossible for these creatures to guard against him.
*****
Three days swiftly passed.
Every day, Sheyan would enter and exit the Wizard Tower, delivering the ingredients he concocted to various corners of the Wizard Tower. Naturally, he would also observe the terrain of the place. His work efficiency could be said to be relatively high. After he was done, he would return to flirt with the elf maiden, and interact with Reef. He was truly carefree. In these three days, Reef also noticed that every sunny day, several prisoners would be directly escorted out, and never returned. According to his conjecture, these people should have been sent to the wizard tower for cruel experiments.
But Sheyan rejected this possibility. Because he knew, although Saruman wasn't the slightest bit hesitant about experimenting on humans, but he had always believed that the frail bodies of humans weren't suitable to be modified. You could understand that humans didn't have the qualifications to be his experimental subjects. Only orcs were the perfect template. Thus, the whereabouts of these people had undoubtedly become a huge mystery.
Although Saruman's doppelganger was extremely guarded against Sheyan, and never allowed him to come into contact with a deeper level of concocting. But even when he disassembled these materials, Sheyan still benefited greatly. This wasn't a direct increase in statistics. Instead, it was an increase in experience. Previously, Sheyan had only concocted materials for bears, foxes and birds of prey. But in these three days, through his hands, he had concocted at least 10 different types of materials! Moreover, the quantity reached up to hundreds.
The underlying meaning behind this was: At least these 10 types of creatures could be extracted, and used to concoct various types of medicines. Because Sheyan's notes were incomplete, he only grasped the concoction of 3 types of bear, fox and birds of prey. But this didn't mean he couldn't experiment with concocting other types of creature materials. Furthermore, this experience had greatly reduced the scope of his concoction.
Among the creatures he concocted in the ice cellar, although there were 5 that couldn't be found in the present world, there were 5 that existed in the present world. They were wolves, ordinary freshwater fishes, snakes, dogs and mantises. When Sheyan returns to the present world, he would definitely use these 5 creatures to concoct his concoction. No matter if it worked or not, how would he know if he didn't try?
Even though Sheyan tried his best to delay, the number of corpses in the ice cellar gradually decreased, until finally, there were no more. Hai Qi's tentacle then went out to inform the others. Not long later, heavy footsteps could be heard. Following that, a fiendish uruk-hai strolled in, casting a cruel glare at Sheyan. It was Lurtz.
"Filthy human, you no longer have the qualifications to stay. Scram out of our sacred grounds! Immediately! "
Sheyan's heart sank, knowing his delaying methods had reached its end. He sighed slightly, but to be able to delay for 4 days, it was better than nothing. At least half of the elves that were captured along with them had been escorted out, and didn't return. Not long after Sheyan returned to his cell, he suddenly received a notification from his nightmare imprint.
"Scanning: Contestant no.1018 executing party mission: 'Survival' has reached a critical point!"
"Warning: Contestant no.1018 executing party mission: 'Survival' has reached a critical point!"
"Warning: The difficulty of staying in this world has increased. From now on, you are unable to access and use the interspatial realm of your nightmare imprint!"
"Details: Party mission: 'Survival' has multiple critical points. Every time you reach a critical point in this world, the difficulty of survival will increase accordingly." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
