Chapter 315: The Date of the Experiments

Translator: Kris_LiuEditor: 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.

As soon as she put on the collar, Carina felt that her spiritual power was suddenly drained.

She realized that the collar was for preventing one from casting spells. So, that being said… The black-haired young man was probably also a sorcerer.
