A cool wind blew into the room from the ventilation holes on the wall. Lucien looked outside, but there was no moonlight. The night was dark.
In the dark, Lucien sat on the bed and listened to the noises outside. He went through the whole plan in his mind again.
After making sure there was nothing wrong with the plan, Lucien got out of bed slowly but firmly and put his feet into his shoes.
Lucien bent down, tied his shoelaces, and tidied up his clothes meticulously. He adjusted his mental state to the peak.
Tonight was the time that Lucien chose to escape!
After the failure of the body transformation, the witch would definitely try to lift the seal as soon as possible. Therefore, the end of this month and the beginning of the next month would be the best time to escape.
There was also the possibility that he and Adam had made a mistake in their judgment. The old witch did not go to the underground ruins to remove the seal when the power of the Silver Moon was at its weakest. There was another reason for her to do so. However, being locked in a cell, with no information, no reinforcements on the outside, and no help on the inside, they had to try this opportunity no matter what. If they waited any longer, they might follow in Ophelia's footsteps. There was no one like Adam, who had been an experimental subject for decades.
Lucien moved around for a while and adjusted his body to the best state. Then he slowly walked to the right wall and knocked on it.
After several knocks, Carina took down the brick and asked excitedly, "What's the matter, Mr. Lucien?" She was a bit sleepy but also a bit excited, "Yes, Mr. Lucien? Are you going to start tonight? " After communication, she, Alva and Bullard had learned that the old witch would go to the underground relics at the beginning of the month. Therefore, they had been waiting for Lucien's notice. However, Lucien had been eating and sleeping well, and it seemed that he had no intention of running away at all. Alva was secretly anxious, but she did not dare to urge him. After all, Lucien was the one who initiated the whole thing.
"Yes, you should be prepared. If I fail, I need your help to lure the guards in," Lucien said calmly, as if he was talking about the full moon tonight.
Before this, Lucien did not tell anyone about his plan, in case he was betrayed.
Carina raised her voice, "Okay, I'll be waiting for your order, Mr. Lucien."
Lucien nodded and walked to the iron gate. He raised his right hand and knocked hard.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The loud and clear sound echoed everywhere. The two servants who were guarding outside looked at each other in confusion. Then, the red-faced servant sternly shouted, "Bastard, what are you doing? Do you want to be whipped? "
It was already late at night. Having never experienced the invasion of enemies or the escape of prisoners, they were not in the mood to seriously guard the place. After placing the beast furs against the wall, they sat on them drowsily. After all, the purpose of their stay here was not to guard those who were imprisoned and powerless, but to ensure that there were people here at all times. Once the owner's precious "experiment material" had physical or mental problems, they would be able to discover it in time. Otherwise, the task of guarding could be handed over to the flesh-and-blood puppet knights who had no intelligence.
Therefore, when they were woken up by Lucien's sudden and loud knocking on the door, they were all in a bad mood.
Lucien did not seem to notice their anger. He answered loudly, "Tonight's dinner was terrible. I'm very hungry now. I need a midnight snack!"
"Damn bastard, who do you think you are? Are you crazy? Do you really want to taste the whip? Go away! Don't bother us! " Hearing that Lucien woke him up for such a ridiculous reason, the red-faced guard cursed. He wanted to rush into the cell and beat up Lucien. "Remember, you're just a prisoner! How dare you ask for a midnight snack? You're crazy! "
However, Lucien did not know when to stop. He continued to knock on the iron door, waking up Alva and the other prisoners. The two red-faced guards were very restless.
At the same time, Lucien shouted, "You two disgusting guys, prepare a midnight snack for me! Remember, although I'm just a prisoner, I'm your master's most important experiment subject. If my body is damaged by the lack of food, I'm sure she'll torture you. In front of her, you're just dogs. You're useless. Your status is even lower than us prisoners. Think about it. If you report the word 'old witch', you'll be killed. You're even worse than dogs! I order you to prepare a midnight snack for me now! "
Lucien's vicious and arrogant words made the red-faced guard fly into a rage. He narrowed his eyes and shouted angrily, "Clown! Trash! I'll show you who's worse than dogs!" At the same time, he raised his whip and was about to rush in.
At this time, the tall guard next to him suddenly pulled him back. He said in a low voice, "Wait, this is completely different from his usual behavior. Be careful! Also, it's ridiculous that he suddenly asked for food in the middle of the night. It might be a trap … "
"Have you forgotten the look on his face when he said that he could kill our master however he wanted on the balcony? He's always been such an arrogant lunatic. He's just pretending to be modest and polite. " The red-faced guard was not used to Lucien, who could still maintain his elegance after becoming a prisoner and an experiment subject. However, his voice was also very low, in case Lucien heard him.
Then he narrowed his eyes and said, "He's wearing an antimagic collar and a restraining bracelet. Even if he's up to something, I'm not afraid. Do you think he can beat me? Besides, you're watching from the outside, and the Flesh Puppet Knight is standing in the key position of the escape route. Even if he beats me up, he won't be able to get away with it. I'll teach him a lesson! "
Ever since he became a guard of the magic tower, almost no prisoners whose power was restrained dared to resist. Also, he was a senior-rank squire, and Lucien had always been gentle and polite. Therefore, he naturally despised Lucien and believed that an official Knight could do nothing as long as he wore a restraining bracelet.
"You're right." The tall servant thought for a second and let go of the red-faced servant's hand. "Also, he's a sorcerer. Even if he's a knight, he must be very weak in close combat because of the potions. I'll keep an eye on him for you. You go and teach him a lesson. Let him know how to be a good boy! "
The red-faced guard took out a bunch of keys with a whip and said loudly with a fake smile, "I happen to have some food here. I'll give it to you as an appetizer. If you want to eat anything later, just tell me later."
"Very good. If you want to be a dog, you should choose to be an obedient dog!" Lucien was still mocking him loudly.
The red-faced servant clenched his teeth and inserted the key into the iron door, twisting it forcefully.
Hearing the sound of the key, Lucien quietly moved to the other side of the iron door and stood against the wall.
The red-faced guard suddenly pushed the iron door open and lashed out with the whip, "Come on, have a taste of your supper!"
The long whip with countless barbs almost covered the whole room and hit the bed directly without any hindrance.
At this time, a long and strong right hand suddenly reached out from the side and pressed on the guard's face. Then, the guard was hit hard against the iron door.
Clang!
As if a bell was ringing, the red-faced guard fell to the ground with half of his face covered in blood. He did not expect that he would be knocked out so easily.
Although Lucien's Blessing power was restrained, he was still a senior-rank Knight squire. Lucien's fighting experience, vision, and timing were all much better than the red-faced guard's!
After the loud noise, Lucien did not even look at the red-faced guard. Instead, he let go of the red-faced guard's right hand and jumped out like a cheetah. As expected, the red-faced guard behind Lucien also fainted and fell to the ground.
The tall guard had no fighting experience at all. He did not know what to do until Lucien was right in front of him. He did not realize that he should use the whip in his hand until Lucien was right in front of him.
However, it was too late. At such a close distance, the whip could not work at all. Lucien's right fist hit the guard's temple, and the guard's head was buzzing. Then, Lucien bent his left hand and kicked the guard's soft abdomen with his right leg.
Immediately, the tall man bent over in pain. Waves of soreness surged up his throat, making him unable to make a sound.
At the same time, Lucien bent his right elbow and hit the tall servant's spine heavily on his back.
After a muffled sound, the guard fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. He was dead.
After doing all this, Lucien did not feel happy at all. He quickly picked up the key next to the red-faced guard and broke his neck.
Then, Lucien quickly opened several cells. Adam, Carina, and the rest of the guards quickly ran out.
"What should we do next?" Carina asked Lucien excitedly and fearfully.
Before Lucien could answer, Alva said quickly, "Let's go to the balcony as soon as possible. There's only one Flesh Puppet Knight guarding the door. We can distract it by splitting up. It's not difficult to deal with it as long as we are not stupid enough to fight it head-on. Also, the balcony's height from the ground will only hurt us if we fall. It's the best escape route! "
"I agree!" Bullard did not say much.
Carina frowned. The Knights might only get hurt, but she would be in danger. However, she thought that Adam, the great Knight, should be able to carry her, so she calmed down.
Adam looked at Lucien with a faint smile.
Lucien shook his head and walked towards the magic tower. He said, "If we don't take this opportunity to crack the core and energy of the magic tower and take control of the magic tower, how are we going to deal with the old witch? Do you want to hide in the Dark Forest forever? "
"We will die!" Alva shouted without thinking. He did not have the determination to confront the old witch. Then he said to Lucien loudly, "How are you going to crack the core of the magic tower without taking off the antimagic collar and the shackles? Let's get out of here. Survival is the most important thing! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a flesh puppet knight ran over, its armor clanging. Its black figure carried a powerful aura as if it had sensed the movement here.
It had the power of an official Knight. Even in the magic tower of the witches, there were not many of them.
"Mr. Lucien, be careful! Let's split up and distract it. Its biggest weakness is its low intelligence! "Carina shouted worriedly. The Flesh Puppet and Lucien were almost facing each other.
Adam also shouted, "Buddy, I'll follow you to the core of the magic tower. But first, you have to survive and find a way to unlock the shackles. Dodge! "
But to their astonishment, Lucien didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he charged straight at the puppet!
"Does he really think that he can defeat the Flesh Puppet with the shackles on?" The same thought came to their minds.
The tall Flesh Puppet Knight with a black helmet swung its axe towards Lucien. Its strength and speed were both at the standard of a Knight. Lucien was not strong enough to resist it.
Lucien tilted his body slightly and raised his left hand expressionlessly, trying to stop the axe.
Crack! The giant axe chopped down on Lucien's arm, and after a slight obstruction, more than half of Lucien's left arm was directly cut off.
Blood gushed out, and half of the arm with the shackles fell to the ground.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lucien bit his lips and gathered his Blessing Power, which had temporarily broken free from the shackles, and hit a special position on the black shackles on his right hand hard.
The silver moonlight shone brightly. The bracelet shook a bit, and then it broke into two halves and fell off from Lucien's right hand.
Feeling his blood boiling, Lucien kicked the ground with his right foot and turned into a blurred shadow, dodging the horizontal strike of the axe in the rain of blood falling from the sky.
Adam, Carina, and the other witches were all stunned.
