The darkness is boundless and empty.
Lucian, who was floating, looked around blankly, and there was an inexplicable force in his heart shouting some words that were difficult to hear clearly, causing the darkness to roll up suddenly, like a low depression before a storm.
Suddenly, dark green vines rose from under Lucian's feet and rapidly wrapped around his body, and the dark red thorns that protruded were hideous and terrifying, seemingly covered with dried blood, exuding a sweet fragrance that could paralyze the human body.
The speed of this demonic vine was so fast that it didn't give Lucian a chance to escape at all.
Lucian struggled to cast magic, but found that his mental power was completely dry, and there was nothing to stimulate.
The sharp dark red thorns pierced Lucian's body at once, and the severe pain and soft numbness instantly spread throughout his body, making him scream like Elvis.
As this severe pain occurred, the darkness began to shatter, and rays of light shone in, bright and dazzling.
Lucian's head was groggy, and the light in front of him made his eyes squint, but he immediately recalled that he had been hit by the sudden Scarlet Demon Tree's many negative state rays, and he fainted and fell asleep before he could even trigger the "Dodge Boots" to jump and escape.
Those two rows of densely packed dark eyes that made people's hearts palpitate came to mind, and Lucian subconsciously inspired himself to "short-range teleportation" that had been built in his soul, preparing to avoid the follow-up attacks of the Scarlet Demon Tree.
It seems that the "elemental vortex" used before falling asleep helped him wake up?
And the vine attack in the dark is subconscious, forcing yourself to wake up as soon as possible?
But when the "short-range teleportation" was activated, Lucian found that his mental power was as dry as in his dream, like a river with silt at the bottom.
"It's the aftereffect of using the 'Elemental Vortex' beyond the level!" Lucian's mind flashed through his mind, and then he used his hands to roll and dodge.
After using "Elemental Vortex", he will no longer consume as much life as before, and he needs help even walking!
As soon as he rolled over, Lucian only felt his body soaring into the air, and his eyes adapted to the light were stunned to see that this was a small room painted with white walls and gray, how could there be any dark green and dark red vines, there were no huge, evil scarlet demon trees, and two rows of dense black eyes!
Snap, Lucian fell to the ground, making a dull sound.
The knight's body was rough and thick, Lucian didn't feel any pain, and hurriedly looked around.
The room was small, except for a wooden bed, there was only an open wooden box, and there was nothing inside.
"So clean, so simple, it really looks like a single cell." Lucian said to himself in confusion, "Where the hell is this? Why am I here? You won't cross over again, will you?"
Lucian, who had had an experience, inevitably thought that he had been cut off by the scarlet demon tree, but the matter of crossing has always been one of the deepest secrets in Lucian's heart, so no matter how surprised or dazed he was, he did not blurt it out.
Raising his hands, seeing the familiar slender and powerful appearance, touching his neck, feeling the summoning mark, Lucian was finally sure that he had not crossed over, nor had he died, and there was still a body, or Lucian Evans' body.
But this did not make Lucian relax, because two black bracelets appeared inexplicably on his hands, they exuded a demonic light, and on his neck, according to the touch of Lucian's hands and the sensing of his skin, there was also a collar that closely.
As for his Crown of the Sun, Fireweaver Bracelet, Holm Crown Ring, Ice Avenger Ring, Dodge Boots, Transfiguration Robe, Ogre Monster Power Gloves and other items are all missing.
From the strange patterns and shapes of the black bracelets, as well as the needle-like things they pierced into the blood vessels, Lucian judged with a stern expression: "This is a confinement bracelet that can imprison the power of the bloodline. This one around my neck should be a demon ban collar, no wonder my mental power is drier than using 'Elemental Vortex' before I was promoted to the intermediate level!" What happened?"
Seeing that his spiritual power and bloodline power were imprisoned, Lucian subconsciously tried to enter the soul library, but there was no sensing in his soul, as if it was hidden and closed by some strange force.
"Does the opening of the soul library require spiritual power as a medium?" Lucian has never tried to enter the Soul Library without losing his spiritual power, so he reasons according to common sense.
Lucian, who did not give up his efforts, continued to try to use the summoning mark on his neck to see if he could make Rhine descend in his dreams - he was nicknamed "The Observer" and should know the legend of the "Devil's Land" in the Dark Mountains, and Lucian now doubted that he had fallen into this devil's land and needed more intelligence and more information!
Without bloodline power or spiritual power, summoning marks cannot be stimulated, Lucian couldn't help but frown, as if he had returned to the weak stage when he had just crossed over and had not yet learned magic.
"I have a normal human body, a soul essence that has been enhanced and mutated a lot, and my thinking and sensitivity are much better than before, so I can't give up in discouragement, there is still hope! The most important thing now is to gather information here so that we can decide what to do next." Lucian quickly regained his composure.
In fact, even if the soul returns to normal, Lucian can still maintain a good psychological state, will not waver and hesitate, the belief of not giving up and not giving in after so many hardships is one of the most precious treasures in life, and the other wealth is the knowledge that has been mastered by himself, such as the understanding of the alchemy structure of the imprisonment bracelet, the forbidden demon collar and the composition of the magic circle!
Lucian pulled the iron door and found that it was locked, so he returned to the bed and sat down, preparing to try to study the imprisonment bracelet. At this time, there was a crisp sound of keys jingling outside the door.
Then, Lucian clearly heard the sound of the key inserted into the keyhole, and then with a click, the iron door was slowly pushed open.
A young man with a rosy face as if he was drunk walked in slowly with a large string of keys, his back seemed to be habitually arched, but as soon as he saw Lucian, he puffed out his chest and said with a little arrogance: "Since you are awake, follow me to see the master."
He wore a servant-like black robe and trousers, and there were no confinements on his wrists or neck.
"Master?" Lucian, who finally waited for others to appear, naturally would not miss the opportunity to ask, at least he had to figure out what this place was and why he was here before going to see the mysterious "master".
The young man glared at Lucian angrily: "What qualifications do you have to call your master? You are just a guy who was rescued by his master when he saw that the experimental materials were scarce!"
"You have to remember that you are the lowest and most despicable experimental material in the Magic Tower!"
Lucian chuckled in his heart, the magic tower, the experimental materials, this is just a little better result than death.
However, as long as there is no death, there is hope!
"Save me back? What is this place?" Lucian, who pretended not to understand, continued to ask.
The young servant's temper seemed a little grumpy, and his tone became more and more harsh: "I was born and raised here, how do I know how to describe what this place is? Those guys who accidentally broke in and couldn't get out seemed to call this place a place of imprisoned demons."
"I really fell into the land of demons. My luck is also too bad, a not very dangerous mission has undergone such a terrifying change." Lucian was in an indescribable mood and sighed slightly.
After finding Elvis, the liaison, Lucian thought the mission was almost complete, because he often traveled back and forth between the adventurer's camp and the magic tower of the King of Nightmares.
"What happened to those guys who couldn't get out? By the way, where is my companion?" Lucian asked according to the young servant's words.
The young servant seemed to think of something funny, and replied angrily: "Your companion? He has turned into a dry corpse. Those guys who accidentally broke in either made snacks for the monsters in the surrounding forest or became experimental materials for their masters, and only two were still alive and locked up next to you. No, there are three living ...... Bastard, shut your mouth! Follow me to see the master!"
This was the first time he had seen Lucian's "100,000 whys" that he insisted on asking even if he knew that he was in a bad situation, so he answered the question casually, but as he spoke, his face suddenly changed, revealing deep fear and worry, and he sternly asked Lucian to shut up.
Lucian didn't provoke him anymore, followed him with the imprisonment bracelet and the forbidden demon collar and walked towards the upper floors of the Magic Tower.
Along the way, Lucian stared at the young servant's back carefully, roughly judging his hand-to-hand combat strength from his walking posture and the weight of his steps, and assessing the possibility of suddenly pounce on him and break his neck or knock him unconscious.
When he reached the fifth floor of the Magic Tower, Lucian retracted his gaze and recalled the materials he had borrowed from the library of the Magic Council: about various human experiments conducted by ancient magicians.
When he arrived at a black door with a mysterious pattern, the servant knocked on the door gently: "Master, the experimental materials you just picked up are awake, I will bring him to see you."
"Bring him in." The old hoarse female voice seemed to come out of the crack in the door.
Lucian doesn't have the gender of a strange master, and for dangerous Ancient Heritage magicians, gender doesn't affect how perverted they are.
The black door retreated on its own, and Lucian saw the whole picture of the magic laboratory, which was similar to the laboratory left by Maskelin, with gray liquid "ether" flowing back and forth, tentacles like pipes and black threads that shrouded the entire magic laboratory, pale human hands suspended in mid-air, held in a deformed shape like chicken feet, and dissecting tables, large alchemy platforms, and countless strangely shaped experimental devices and utensils.
An old woman wearing a red magic robe and terribly rickety stopped the human dissection in her hand and turned to look at Lucian.
Her hair was fluffy and gray, wrinkles were on her face as if she had lost her elasticity, and her whole body was shriveled and thin, extremely ugly and terrifying.
The old woman's turquoise eyes looked at Lucian carefully for a while, nodded slightly, and said in a voice with a hint of fanaticism: "You need to give an electric shock first."
