Throne of Magical Arcana

Lucien, who was a little numb from the electric shock, looked blankly at the wall on the left. It took several seconds to react, then walked to the wall, facing the place where the knocking sound came from, and lowered his voice, "Who?"

"Adam who lives next door to you. Dude, didn't we meet just now?" With the sound of a deep magnetic voice, the stone brick at that location suddenly moved, denting in the opposite direction.

With the sound of rustling, the stone bricks were magically removed, revealing a hollow hole and a pair of dark blue eyes.

"Without the protection of the magic circle?" Lucien raised his left eyebrow just like Natasha, and asked in a little surprise.

In the magic tower of at least a high-level magician, the walls are not reinforced with magic circles and soundproofed, and this is still a prison cell, which doesn't even have the basic ability to prevent damage!

A smile appeared on Adam's well-defined tough face: "Because this is a land of imprisoned demons! Although there are many mineral veins and terrifying magical creatures nearby and in the forest, the species are seriously incomplete and very dangerous. A magic tower can be built It is already a manifestation of the old witch's strength and abundant savings. Therefore, except for the constant magic circle protection on the outside and the core of this magic tower, the rest are ordinary buildings. Hey, buddy, after talking so much, 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 Lucien. By the way, how did you dig out this stone brick?" Lucien was habitually polite.

Adam looked at Lucien's eyes through the void and blinked, tsk-tsk said: "What a polite person, hey, buddy, are you a magician or a knight? Low-level, or middle-level?"

"Magician, intermediate level."

Hearing Lucien's succinct answer, Adam smiled and said, "I said buddy, we are all experimental materials, why be so cautious? Just call me Adam, the great knight of dark blood, Adam."

Then he stretched out his right hand, the nails that hadn't been trimmed for a long time shone with a sharp cold light, "I dug the stone bricks slowly with my nails. The Imprisonment Bracelet can suppress the power of my blood, but it can't make my changed body Go back to how you were before."

Lucien looked down at his neatly cut nails, and said humorously: "If there is no old witch here, just ordinary guards, then we can successfully escape the prison with our nails. Adam, do you know the situation around here? Also, do you know what kind of experiment the old witch is doing? After I passed out in the dark mountains, I was in the cell as soon as I woke up, and I didn't know anything."

The excitement that Adam hadn't communicated with for a long time subsided, and his tone became serious: "Dude, it's useless to know the situation. There are two cities and many villages within the defense range of the magic tower. Descendants of the humans trapped in the Devil's Land - legend has it that a village on the edge of a dark mountain was once swallowed whole."

"Further away, surrounding this area is a huge forest similar to the dark mountains. It is very dangerous. There are scarlet magic trees, killing vines, three-armed giants, feathered snakes, petrified lizards and other powerful dark creatures. I just fell into It was there when the Devil's Land was there, and I almost couldn't get out of the forest. I don't know what else is in the forest. Human-faced beasts, giant dragons and other top-level creatures."

He deduced the type 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 secrets of the Imprisonment. The old witch has been trying to crack it to find a way out of here, but it is limited by strength. There are only seven or eight rings, and it is always impossible to succeed, so most of her experiments are how to use limited resources to improve magic power."

"By the way, her soul and body were polluted in a magic experiment accident, and she can no longer transform into a youthful appearance. Her life is passing rapidly, so she is still looking for a solution to this problem."

Feeling that Adam's tone became more fearful as he spoke later, Lucien asked doubtfully and worriedly: "Could it be that the old witch already has a direction to solve this problem? And we are the materials for this experiment?"

Adam said with deep fear: "The old witch's soul is polluted. After changing a few girls' bodies, she can't restrain her rapid aging. She can't even maintain it for a minute. Therefore, she thinks that the core of the problem lies in the soul, and she wants to try to divide it. The soul, divide the unpolluted part, completely disconnect from the original soul, so that the pollution cannot be eradicated, and then cultivate and grow to become another self."

Lucien swallowed with some difficulty: "Then who will listen to whom after the division? Who is the old witch?"

As far as Lucien's knowledge is concerned, no real soul division experiment has been successful so far. Even the part of the soul hidden in the phylactery in the lich transformation technique and the severed fingers in the life hiding technique are not the same as the original soul. Completely disconnected from the body, yet connected in some magical way.

No matter how far apart, the soul in the phylactery will only be resurrected when the soul of the body dies, and there will be no philosophical and cognitive conflicts. Will also carry the same injuries.

Adam blinked with a wry smile: "Who knows? Anyway, the guys whose souls were divided by the old witch all died on the spot, and their souls dissipated, without exception."

He pointed to the wall behind Lucien: "The guy in that cell is going to accept the experiment tonight. If he doesn't come back, it means the experiment failed again. If the experiment is successful, maybe we can be free." .”

"If the experiment is successful..." Lucien repeated without further ado. He just thought solemnly in his heart. Combined with the cloning technology, it might mean the emergence of a path to immortality.

In the current magical achievements, even if it is perfectly transformed into a lich or prolongs its lifespan in other ways, as time goes by, the soul will inevitably show signs of decay. And if the part that has not yet begun to age is divided, it will still be affected by the original, so the longest-lived legendary magician in the records of the Magic Council is 6,449 years old, and the rest either died before this age, or Inexplicably disappeared.

Adam lowered his voice again: "Man, I have to remind you that you have to prepare early."

"What?" Lucien looked up at the wall missing 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 used for her experiment is not strong enough, so you, a rare middle-level magician, will definitely become the main material for this experiment. But before that, she will definitely try her best to improve The strength of your soul. For you, it is both a danger and an opportunity." Adam's deep magnetic voice brought Lucien a piece of bad news.

Lucien took a deep breath and nodded gently: "I will look for opportunities. Adam, can you tell me what you know about the internal structure of the magic tower? For example, where is the energy room?"

"No problem, you can come to me if you need help." Adam replied boldly, narrowing his eyes slightly.

After some communication, Adam put the stone bricks back in the distance for fear of being discovered by the servants.

Lucien walked back to the bed and sat down in silence, not paying attention to Adam's idea of ​​trying to find a way to escape while he hid behind his back to take advantage of it, because no matter what, he would try hard to get some information from him.

After eating the dinner brought by the servant, Lucien seized the time to sleep and recover his strength, and then it was time to find a way to release the restraint bracelet.

…………

In the middle of the night, the iron door was suddenly opened, and the red-faced young servant said coldly to Lucien who turned over and sat up: "The master ordered me to take you to the moonlight, which will help your body and soul recover."

Although he immediately thought of the word "letting the wind" in his previous life, Lucien would not refuse the opportunity to go out for a walk, and soon followed the young servant to the balcony protruding from the magic tower on this floor.

The silver moon hangs high, and the cold brilliance is no different from the outside world. When it shines on the terrace, it reflects a silvery and rippling light and shadow.

All the cells in Lucien's body were devouring the moonlight with extreme hunger, allowing him to quickly recover from his unhealed injuries.

"Hey, buddy, are you out too?" Adam's enthusiastic voice came from behind Lucien.

Lucien turned his head, smiled and said, "Hey, Adam, are you here to bathe in the darkness?"

"Yes, I also participated in the experiment this afternoon. Of course, I participated in it as an experimental material." Adam opened his mouth, and his bright smile softened his tough lines. Darkness merged together.

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "That guy didn't come back."

"It's unfortunate." Lucien replied "sadly".

The terrace was not too high from the ground, but the old witch was not worried at all that the two imprisoned guys could escape from the range of the magic tower, and Lucien and Adam had no other thoughts for the time being, just chatting casually about the surrounding dark forest.

Suddenly, a bright light burst out from the small hill ahead, turning it into daylight.

Lucien, who was leaning on the edge of the terrace, saw two men and two women running out of the small hill with sharp eyes. 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, a second-level magician, and an official knight." Adam left the darkness, looking a little excitedly at the traps and skeletons below. The servants were two men and two women.

Lucien turned to look at him suspiciously: "What?"

"The old witch is very lazy except for studying and experimenting with magic. In order not to let the experimental materials become extinct, she left various training methods and many magic books in nearby villages and cities, and then hid the magic tower for the They develop on their own, so that the experimental material does not languish."

"At the same time, she sent people to spread the news secretly, saying that there is a magic tower that hides 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. I often deliver it to my door, so I don’t have to look for it myself.” Adam looked at the “intense” battle below with relish.
