Chapter 315: The Date of the Experiments
Translator: Kris_Liu Editor: Vermillion
The light of spells being cast and the sound of metal colliding slowly disappeared . The four brave adventurers had finished all the skeleton guards and unlocked the seal on the gate . Now, they had made it inside the magic tower .
In the darkness, the magic tower was like a monster waiting for its prey . The gate was its mouth, opening wide . After devouring the adventurers, everything went back to normal and quieted down .
On the patio, as the seal was removed, Lucien sensed the rotten leaves and soil smell in the air . He said out of sympathy, "They must have worked hard to become knights or sorcerers, especially in this kind of remote place . Unfortunately, they have been all lured by the power and wealth in the tower . When they stepped on the trap, they did not choose to retreat, but to force their way into the tower . This isn't usually how we sorcerers do things . When the magic tower is sealed and one cannot detect what is in there, a sorcerer would use familiars or other ways to make sure they know well enough about the target place . "
Therefore, Lucien had no plan for helping the adventurers and then escaping this place with them . Under the monitoring of a senior-rank mage, it was better for Lucien to do nothing . Trying hard did not mean trying in a stupid way .
"Desire gives people drive and power, but it also blinds people's eyes and heart . . . " said Adam like a philosopher . Then he smiled, "So, as a sorcerer, Lucien, take a guess as to what floor they could make it to?"
Lucien looked back and took a glance at the two young servants who seemed to be quite relaxed, "I think we'll meet them pretty soon . "
And then Lucien turned around and said, "I wish they could make it to this floor . So we could probably be free . "
Lucien did not mind the fact that the two young servants could hear him . The servants stared at him angrily, but they did not do anything to Lucien . After all, it was super normal as a prisoner's wish .
"Having more experiment materials is a good thing for us . We're middle-rank materials, so we'll be used in a more cautious and safer way . Although this place's quite resourceful, most people do not have the power to get the resources . And also the witch did not provide the villagers with all the necessary knowledge, so all the adventurers coming here are only of junior-rank . " Adam grinned as if he just made a joke .
As their conversation went further, the young servant scolded them, "Shut up . The time's over . Get back to the cell!"
Lucien and Adam exchanged a look with a smile on their faces, and then they did as the young servant asked .
. . .
When they were in front of the cell, Lucien was a bit surprised to see that the four adventurers had been captured and sent here under guard .
Only within a few minutes, the adventurers all failed . Lucien threw Adam a quick wink telling Adam that he was right .
The four adventurers were all pretty good-looking . Both of the two blond men were wearing silvery-white armors . One was of middle-age, and the other was younger . They armors made clashing sounds while they were walking . The two ladies were also blond . One was wearing a tight amor made of black scales and the other was wearing a loose, red magic robe .
Carina was walking with great fear in her heart . She could not stay focused anymore as a caster . She thought that her team could at least manage to escape even if they failed to kill the vicious witch under the guidance of the notes left by other adventurers . However, they did not even have the chance to see the witch . They were caught by the flesh-golem knights in the tower right away .
Now she saw the power difference between the witch and themselves . She doubted herself and this whole team . At the same time, she felt rather desperate with finding other ways to get out of this place .
With all these thoughts, Carina was sent to the cell under guard .
At this time, she heard someone laughed and then sighed, "Man, you do know sorcerers way better than I do . "
Carina wondered who was it . Then she saw four men walking in this direction . Two of them were obviously servants in the tower, while the other two were wearing simple linen clothes .
The man who was talking was tall and had blond hair . At a glance, he looked even more like a knight than Alva and Bullard . And the black-haired young man who was listening to him was very elegant, although he was wearing the simple linen clothes .
Carina wondered if the black-haired young man was the witch's toy-boy . The vicious legend of the witch had been added by people with all kinds of weird, creepy or raunchy stories . Carina hated the witch but also had to admit that the witch's life was sort of nice .
Then, she suddenly realized that the black-haired young man was wearing the shackles and even a collar . Carina then wondered if they were other adventurers who had been caught and imprisoned here . Carina's partners, Ophelia, Alva, and Bullard all looked a bit confused .
However, the fact that they were not yet the witch's prisoners made them very nervous and feeling lost . Under the watch of the servants and the flesh-golems, they didn't dare to talk directly to Lucien and Adam . Just like how Lucien and Adam first met each other, they just exchanged a look and then they were sent to their separated cells .
Carina's cell was right beside Lucien's, on the right .
When Lucien walked past the cell, he saw the flesh-golem knight take out the shackles and collars to make the new prisoners wear them . So he walked a bit slower and carefully watched how the shackles and collars worked, in order to have a better understanding of the collar and to make sure his analysis of the shackles was correct .
