The four "brave" adventurers defeated the evil skeletons and broke the seal on the gate. Then they rushed into the magic tower.
In the darkness, the dark magic tower was like a monster that was waiting for its prey, and the gate was its mouth. After it "swallowed" the adventurers, everything was quiet again.
On the balcony, Lucien smelled the fragrance of the soil mixed with the smell of rotten leaves. He shook his head sympathetically, "It's rare for someone to awaken their blood power or become an official sorcerer in such an enclosed and dangerous environment. But they were all bewildered by the treasures and power in the magic tower. After stepping on the traps, they did not choose to retreat but chose to attack. According to the rules of sorcerers, even if the magic tower is sealed and cannot be explored, they should at least use their magic pets or stealth spells to explore the surroundings before launching a tentative attack. "
At this moment, Lucien did not intend to escape with the help of the adventurers at all. When a senior-rank sorcerer was watching everything, it was better not to do anything. Trying hard did not mean that he had to be reckless.
"Desire can give people great motivation, but it can also blind the mind and the eyes." Adam said seriously and then smiled, "Lucien, you're a strong sorcerer. Guess which floor they can reach?"
Lucien looked back at the two young servants who were guarding the door of the balcony. They were not worried at all. "We should be able to see them very soon."
Then, as if he was not worried that the two young servants could hear him, he said, "If only they can reach this floor, then we can use their power to break the restraining bracelet."
The two young servants stared at Lucien angrily. How dare he talk about escaping in front of them? However, it was not normal for a prisoner to not have the thought of being released from the prison. Therefore, it was better for them to feel relieved when there was little hope for Lucien's escape.
"At the very least, the increase in experimental materials will make things a lot easier for us. Intermediate materials like us will be used more cautiously and safely. Although there are a lot of resources in this place, most of them are in the dangerous Dark Forest. It is not something that an ordinary Knight or Magician can obtain. In addition, the witches deliberately hide some of the knowledge, so no one can be promoted to Senior, and very few Intermediate. "Adam said with a self-deprecating smile, as if he was relieving the pressure in his heart.
Seeing that they were about to continue their discussion, the red-faced servant sternly shouted, "Shut up! Your stroll is over. Follow me back to the cell! "
Lucien and Adam glanced at each other with a smile, then followed the two young servants back to the prison without saying anything.
…
When he reached the prison cell, Lucien was slightly stunned to see the four adventurers being pushed over by a few guards whose faces were hidden in dark helmets. They were either dejected or fearful.
It had only been a few minutes, and they were already caught? The old witch really didn't give him any face! Lucien thought to himself and told Adam that he was right.
The four adventurers were quite good-looking. Two of them had light blonde hair and were wearing silver-white full-body armor. One was middle-aged and mature, while the other was young and energetic. When they walked, there were clanking sounds of metal clashing. The two blonde girls were very youthful. One of them was wearing a close-fitting dark scale armor, showing off her beautiful figure. The other was wrapped in a wide red magic robe, with a delicate and beautiful face.
Carina walked in fear. She could no longer maintain her concentration as a spellcaster. She thought that the team of adventurers could at least escape from the magic tower, even if they could not defeat the evil witch with the help of the notes. However, before they could even see the witch, they were caught by several knights who seemed to be flesh and blood puppets under the influence of the magic circle.
This made Carina feel that there was a huge gap between her and the witch, and she could not fight against the witch at all. Thinking of the horrible monsters in the Dark Forest, Carina could not help but have a strong doubt, "Are we really powerful? Can we defeat the witch?"
In fear, doubt, and self-denial, Carina was escorted to the prison cell by the Knight who would never let go of her.
Suddenly, she heard a sigh and laughter coming from the other side, "Buddy, you know sorcerers better than I do."
"Who's there?" Carina looked up and saw four men coming from the other side of the corridor. Two of them were wearing the servant's clothes that she had seen on the way here, and the other two were wearing simple linen clothes.
The one who spoke was a tall blond man. His steps were firm and steady. At first glance, he seemed to be more like a Knight than Alva and Bullard. The person he was talking to was a handsome black-haired young man. His simple clothes could not cover his elegance. His smile was gentle, and his eyes were deep.
"Are they the pets of the witches in the magic tower?" The legend of the evil witch had been passed down from generation to generation, and people had added all kinds of weird, horrible, and erotic colors to it. Carina naturally thought of this possibility. She suddenly felt a bit jealous of the witch's life, and at the same time, she hated the witch even more.
Then she suddenly realized that if they were the pets of the witches, why were they wearing prisoner's clothes, and why were they wearing strange black bracelets that seemed to restrict their movements? The black-haired handsome man also had a collar around his neck that made Carina feel very uncomfortable.
"Are they the adventurers in the past?" Carina looked around and saw that Alva, Alva, and Bullard were all confused. Carina guessed that they were thinking the same thing.
However, having just been caught, they were still in panic and bewilderment. Not as comfortable as Adam, they did not dare to talk to the two 'seniors' in front of the servants and the flesh puppets at all. Just like when Lucien and Adam met for the first time, they were sent into the cell by the flesh puppets after they made eye contact.
Carina was in the cell on the right side of Lucien.
When Lucien walked past the open cell, he saw that the puppet Knight took out a black bracelet and an antimagic collar and put them on the four adventurers.
Lucien slowed down and squinted his eyes, watching the bracelets and antimagic collar being fastened on the adventurers one by one.
This was not only to confirm the structure of the bracelets, but also to take a look at the antimagic collar that he could not touch for the time being.
After the collar was fastened on her neck, Carina suddenly felt that her spiritual power had stopped recovering, and she could no longer cast a spell.
"This collar has the effect of stopping magic? Is that man also a sorcerer? "
She looked up at the door subconsciously, and her eyes met with Lucien's.
Lucien seemed to have sensed her confusion, so he nodded slightly and followed the servant.
"Which sorcerer could he be?" Carina started to think about the sorcerers who had mysteriously disappeared in this area, but none of them could be related to this handsome man.
In this narrow and sparsely populated area, every official Knight or sorcerer was a big shot. They were the senior members of the Adventurers' Union who ruled the city, and they were powerful figures who could be recorded in the history books. However, most of them would mysteriously disappear when they reached a certain stage.
Therefore, the adventurers came to this magic tower not only because they were greedy for the treasures and power, but also because they wanted to break free from their destiny.
Suddenly, Carina felt that the puppet was pulling her magic robe. She wanted to cast a spell, but she could not. She hurriedly punched at the puppet, but the puppet did not care. It easily took off Carina's magic robe.
Carina had never thought that she would be violated by a puppet that looked like a dead body. She hugged her chest, shrank into the corner, and screamed.
But to her astonishment, the flesh puppet did not continue to move. It threw her a set of linen clothes, then picked up her magic staff, magic robe, and the necklace that she had taken off before, turned around, and left, locking the door.
"You're here to search for dangerous items … You don't have to be so rough. Just tell me, and I'll take it off myself! " Carina wanted to cry, but then she remembered that it was a puppet made of flesh and blood, and it could only accept orders and couldn't communicate.
As she thought about it, she felt a little relieved and muttered to herself, "Fortunately, this is a witch."
Then she looked down at her underwear and added, "Luckily, no other men saw this."
…
In the following days, Carina, Alva, and the other apprentices were taken to the witch's lab several times. When they came back, their faces were pale, and their eyes were full of fear. Apparently, they had realized that they were experiment subjects.
Lucien carried out another round of "electric shock stimulation". According to the witch's theory, the electric shock stimulation was to gradually bring out the full potential of the soul.
This night, all the prisoners were taken to the balcony for a walk. After the first day, they finally saw each other face to face again.
Carina, Alfalia, and the other apprentices gathered together and whispered to each other about their miserable experiences. The servants just stood by the door and did not want to eavesdrop on them.
Lucien and Adam leaned against the balcony and whispered to each other about what they had observed in the past few days.
Since the route to the lab was fixed, they did not find many new things. Soon, they finished talking.
"Adam, did you notice that the witch did not do any experiments at the end of the month or the beginning of the month?" In other words, the experiment does not need living people. "Lucien said thoughtfully. This was the result of his abnormal behavior in the last few days.
Adam smiled and said, "That's right, buddy. You are very observant. I've been locked up here for decades. Even when there were plenty of experimental materials, the witches never allowed anyone to come to the laboratory for the first two days at the end of the month and the first three days at the beginning of the month. The rest of the days were more or less used for human experiments. I guess … "
He didn't say anything else and just pointed down.
Lucien nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions. Adam was saying that during the darkest days of the Silver Moon, the witch was probably trying to break the seal of the underground relic. It was the best time to escape.
At this time, Carina and the other apprentices walked to Lucien and Adam, hoping to get more information from the two "seniors" who had been locked up for a long time.
"Hello, gentlemen. I'm Carina, the sorcerer. How should I address you?" Carina was still a bit scared of the servants, so she greeted them in a low voice.
Adam was very interested in meeting these "helpers", so he smiled and said, "I'm Adam."
"Adam? You're the Dark Lord? " Alva, Carina, and Bullard all exclaimed. It seemed that they were shocked by the name.
Adam combed his hair and sighed, "I didn't expect that the people outside still remember me."
Everyone gasped. Carina and the others did not expect that this seemingly tough and humorous knight was the legendary grand knight, the "legendary figure" who had reached level five that no one had ever reached before!
Seeing Lucien was a bit confused, Adam shrugged and said, "After I escaped from the forest, I lived a comfortable life outside until I was caught."
Carina's eyes were wide open. She had thought that Adam was killed by the monsters in the Dark Forest, but she did not expect that he had been locked up here for decades by the old witch. The power of the old witch was way beyond their imagination.
"Is our adventure just a joke?" This thought came to them spontaneously.
After calming down, Carina looked at Lucien again. She was more curious about the identity of this sorcerer than the Great Knight Adam.
