Chapter 315 Adventurer
Lucian, who was a little numb from the electricity, looked blankly at the left wall, and it took a few seconds for him to react, then walked to the wall, and lowered his voice to the location where the knocking sound was made: "Who?"
"Adam who lives next door to you. Man, didn't we meet just now?" With a low magnetic sound, the stone bricks in that position suddenly moved and dented in the opposite direction.
In the rustling sound, the stone brick was magically removed, revealing a penetrating hollow and a pair of dark blue eyes.
"No magic circle protection?" Lucian followed Natasha and raised his left eyebrow, and asked with a slight surprise.
In the magic tower of at least a high-level magician, the walls were not reinforced and soundproofed with magic circles, and this was still a cell, and it didn't even have the basic ability to prevent destruction!
A smile appeared on Adam's chiseled and tough face: "Because this is the land of imprisoned demons! Although there are many ore veins and terrifying magical creatures nearby and in the forest, the variety is seriously incomplete and very dangerous, being able to build a magic tower is already a manifestation of the old witch's strength and rich savings, so this magic tower is protected by a constant magic circle in the outside and core, and the rest are ordinary buildings. Hey, man, after saying so much, I still don't know what to call you?"
He seemed to be holding back his words because he hadn't communicated with normal people for a long time, and he was not as tough as he looked.
"Mr. Adam, you can call me Lucian. By the way, how did you dig up this stone brick?" Lucian was habitually polite.
Adam blinked his eyes at Lucian through the hollow, and tsk, "What a polite person, hey, man, are you a magician or a knight? Low-level or mid-level?"
"Magician, intermediate."
Hearing Lucian's concise answer, Adam smiled and said, "I said man, we are all experimental materials, why be so restrained? Just call me Adam, the great knight of dark blood."
Then he stretched out his right hand, and the nails on which had not been trimmed for a long time flashed with a sharp cold light, "I slowly dug the stone bricks off with my fingernails. The imprisonment bracelet can suppress my bloodline power, but it cannot return my changed body to its original form."
Lucian looked down at his cleanly cut nails and said humorously: "If there is no old witch here, just ordinary guards guarding it, then we can successfully escape from prison with our nails. Adam, do you know what's going on around you? Also, do you know what the old witch is experimenting on? After I fainted in the dark mountains, I woke up in my cell and didn't know anything."
Adam's excitement of not communicating with anyone for a long time slowly subsided, and his tone became solemn: "Man, it's useless to know the situation. There are two cities and many villages within the defense area of the Magic Tower, and the people inside should be descendants of humans who have been trapped in the Demon Land for many years - legend has it that there was once a village on the edge of the Dark Mountains that was completely swallowed up."
"Surrounding this area further away is a gigantic forest similar to the Dark Mountains, very dangerous, with powerful dark creatures such as scarlet demon trees, killer vines, three-armed trolls, feathered snakes, petrified lizards, and other powerful dark creatures. I was there when I first fell into the Devil's Land, and I almost failed to get out of the forest. I don't know what else is further away in the forest, according to the law that monsters become stronger the more they go in the outside direction, I am afraid there will be top creatures such as Chimera, Prisoner Demon, Sphinx, and Dragon."
He deduced the types based on the monsters that had appeared in the Dark Mountains.
After introducing the surrounding situation, Adam's voice became lower and lower: "There is an ancient ruin under this magic tower, which seems to be related to the secret of the imprisonment place. The old witch has been trying to crack it to find a way out of here, but she is limited to only seven or eight rings, and she always can't succeed, so most of her experiments are about how to use limited resources to improve her magical strength."
"By the way, her soul and body were polluted in a magic experiment accident, and she can no longer transform into her youthful appearance, and her life is passing rapidly, so she is still looking for a solution to this problem."
Feeling that the more Adam spoke, the more fearful his tone became, and Lucian asked suspiciously and worriedly: "Could it be that the old witch already has a direction to solve this problem? And we are the material for this experiment?"
Adam said with deep fear: "The old witch's soul is contaminated, and after changing several girls' bodies, she cannot be restrained and aging rapidly, and it is difficult to maintain even a minute, so she thinks that the core of the problem is in the soul, and wants to try to divide the soul, divide the uncontaminated part, and completely disconnect it from the original soul, so that the pollution cannot be eradicated, and then cultivate and grow to become another self."
Lucian swallowed his saliva with some difficulty: "Who will listen to and command after the division? Who is the old witch?"
As far as Lucian's knowledge is concerned, no real soul splitting experiment has been successful so far, even the part of the soul hidden in the life box in the lich transformation technique and the fingers cut off in the life concealment technique are not completely disconnected from the original soul and body, but are still related in some magical way.
No matter how far apart they are, only when the main soul dies, the soul in the fate box will be resurrected, there will be no philosophical meaning and cognitive conflict, and if there is some kind of attack that can interfere with this connection, the resurrected soul will also carry the same injury.
Adam smiled bitterly and blinked: "Who knows? Anyway, all the guys whose souls were split by the old witch died on the spot, and their souls dissipated, without exception."
He pointed to the wall behind Lucian: "The guy in that cell is going to undergo this experiment tonight, and if he doesn't come back, it means that the experiment has failed again. If the experiment is successful, maybe we will be free."
"If the experiment is successful......" Lucian repeated, without saying anything, but just thinking solemnly in his heart, with cloning technology, it may mean that a path to immortality has appeared.
In the current magical achievements, even if it is perfectly transformed into a lich or otherwise prolonged, the soul will inevitably show signs of decay over time. If the part that has not yet begun to age is divided, it will still be affected by the original, so the legendary magician who lived the longest in the Magic Council record is 6,449 years old, and the rest either died before this age or disappeared inexplicably.
Adam lowered his voice again: "Man, I have to remind you, you need to prepare early."
"What?" Lucian looked up at the wall that lacked a stone brick, opposite Adam's dark blue eyes.
"The old witch believes that the main reason for the failure of the experiment is that the soul for her experiment is not strong enough, so you, a rare mid-level magician, will definitely become the main material for this experiment. But before that, she will definitely try her best to increase your soul strength. For you, it is both a danger and an opportunity." Adam's magnetic low voice brought Lucian some not-so-good news.
Lucian took a deep breath and nodded gently: "I will look for opportunities. Adam, can you tell me about the inner workings of the Magic Tower? For example, where is the energy room?"
"No problem, anyone who needs help can come to me." Adam replied boldly, his eyes narrowing slightly.
After some communication, fearing that the servants would find out, Adam put the stone brick back into the distance.
Lucian walked back to the bed in silence and sat down, encouraging Adam to find a way to escape while he hid behind the scenes and didn't take it to heart, because no matter what, he would try hard to get some information from him.
After using the dinner sent by the servant, Lucian seized the time to sleep and regain his strength, and then it was time to find a way to remove the confinement bracelet.
…………
In the middle of the night, the iron door was suddenly opened, and the red-faced young servant said coldly to Lucian, who was turning over and sitting up: "Master ordered me to take you to the moonlight, which will help your body and soul recover."
Although he instantly thought of the word "let the wind" go out in his previous life, Lucian would not refuse the opportunity to go out for a walk, and soon followed the young servant to the terrace where the magic tower was protruding outside.
The silver moon hung high, and the cold brilliance was no different from the outside world, reflecting a silver-white rippling light and shadow after shining on the terrace.
All the cells in Lucian's body were abnormally hungry and thirsty for moonlight, allowing him to quickly recover from his unhealed injuries.
"Hi, man, are you out too?" Adam's enthusiastic voice came from behind Lucian.
Lucian turned his head and smiled, "Hi Adam, are you here to bathe in the darkness?"
"Yes, I also participated in the experiment in the afternoon, of course, as experimental materials." Adam opened his mouth, his bright smile softened his tough lines a lot, and he shrank in the corner where the moonlight was blocked, as if he had merged with the darkness.
Then, he lowered his voice and said, "That guy hasn't come back."
"It's really unfortunate." Lucian replied "sadly".
The terrace was not high from the ground, but the old witch was not worried that the two guys with imprisoned powers would be able to escape from the magic tower range, and Lucian and Adam had no other thoughts for the time being, casually chatting about the surrounding dark forest.
Suddenly, a bright light bloomed on the small hill in front of me, turning it into daytime.
Lucian, who was leaning on the edge of the terrace, saw two men and two women running out of the small hill, and they rushed towards the magic tower with agility, as if they had stepped on some magic trap just now.
"Wow, yes, this adventure team has two second-level knights, one is a second-ring magician and one is an official knight." Adam left the darkness and looked a little excitedly at the two men and two women below who were breaking the trap and killing the skeleton servants.
Lucian turned to look at him suspiciously: "What?"
In order to prevent the experimental materials from becoming extinct, she left various exercise methods and many magic books in nearby villages and cities to stimulate the power of the bloodline, and then hid the magic tower so that they could develop on their own, so that the experimental materials would not become lifeless.
"At the same time, she sent people to secretly spread the news, saying that there is a magic tower hidden in countless treasures and infinite power, as long as you find the magic tower, lift the seal, and defeat the evil witch, you can get everything, so the experimental materials are often sent to the door by themselves, so you don't have to look for them yourself." Adam watched the "fierce" battle below with relish.
