Chapter 576: The Premonition of Not Soaring
In the game, Lu Kuan stretched the torch forward, frowned, and then patted Dimi, who was roaring threateningly, next to him, signaling that there was no need to worry.
He saw the iron chain on the other party's shoulder, and the appearance of the iron chain attracted Lu Kuan's attention more than the monster itself.
No one had been in the tower for more than a decade, but the metal stick nailed to the monster's shoulder was still shining, and shimmered silver in the light of the torch.
The same goes for the chains attached to the metal sticks, with no trace of rust in sight, sticking out of the monster's shoulders and connecting to the four walls of the room, making a crisp "jingle bell" sound as the monster struggles slowly but forcefully.
Lu Kuan kept his distance from the other party, took out three torches from his bag and lit them, threw them into the room, and then saw that the place where the chain and the wall were connected was also a silver-white metal ring, and there was nothing else in the room except for this locked monster.
"People...... Kind...... hiss......" The monster suddenly spoke, its pure black eyes staring at Lu Kuan, and the movements of the struggle became more intense.
Lu Kuan couldn't help but be stunned, handed the torch forward again, looked at it carefully, and found that this guy's body shape was like an ordinary zombie, and his head and face were also ordinary monsters, but somehow, Lu Kuan always felt that this guy was weird.
Is it action? Or something else? Lu Kuan couldn't tell for a while.
"Let it go...... I ......"
The unknown monster spoke again, this time more clearly, with the feeling that he had finally straightened his tongue: "Adventurer, I'...... Cursed ......"
Almost at the same time, a line of text jumped out in front of Lu Kuan, prompting Lu Kuan whether to accept the task and rescue the trapped strange creature.
If you are an ordinary person, you may just accept it, because the rest of the tasks in the field are unattainable, and you may hesitate a little, or say a few more words, and this task will be missed, and you will never be able to receive it again.
Lu Kuan is different, he knows that although the adventure mission is rare, it is also full of pits, and one is deeper than the other, so it is better to be cautious.
So Lu Kuan ignored the system prompt, and asked, "Who are you and why are you trapped here?" ”
"I'm Charlie...... Ahem...... Archmage Witherdil's apprentice, in charge of maintaining the Tower of Prison, and the prisoners suddenly rioted, and I was imprisoned here and cursed......"
As if he had suddenly gained strength, the guy who was not a human or a ghost suddenly spoke much faster: "Now they are all gone...... I'm sorry teacher......"
As he spoke, the monster who called himself Charlie suddenly became emotional, revealing a look of remorse, and the silver-white chains that shook rattled loudly, trying to come over to Lu Kuan's side: "Adventurer, please, let me go, I'm going to make up for the mistakes I made!" ”
Listening to Charlie's emotional description, Lu Kuan's expression did not change, but his brain was spinning rapidly.
The Tower of Imprisonment? Is it here?
It turned out to be a prison, so the rooms in the tower and the many guards would make sense.
But this guy claims to be the caretaker of the stone tower, but he is locked in a cell, how suspicious does it look......
"How long have you been locked up here, and why is this stone tower in the fortress of the Glay Stonemen?" Lu Kuan asked.
"Gleishiman?"
Charlie was slightly stunned, and then smiled wryly, revealing a row of rotten teeth in his mouth, but Lu Kuan keenly saw that there was far more than one row of teeth in this guy's mouth, and they were densely grown under his tongue, and the scalp of the person watching it was numb.
Everyone in the live broadcast room was also shocked into a cold sweat, and the barrage began to frantically complain about the game designer's heavy taste.
However, someone immediately stood up to refute that the game designer is only responsible for the overall planning of the world view, and the real details are set by the mastermind, otherwise the designers would not be able to finish this game if they are tired.
Tons of barrages floated by, and Lu Kuan didn't see any of them, because he was listening carefully to Charlie's narration.
“…… According to the time you said, I have been locked up here for more than 700 years...... As for the Glaishi people you mentioned, they must have migrated later, and the location of the Tower of Imprisonment is the northern part of our city......"
"The City of Silverwings is one of the most powerful cities on the main road, full of gold and silver treasures, and countless people come to visit it, how can you not see such a large city? There must have been some huge change out there......"
Hearing Lu Kuan say that there was a wilderness and a grand canyon around him, Charlie showed an expression of disbelief, and followed closely: "Adventurer, as long as you let me out, I will immediately take you to find the ruins of our city, when the time comes, there will be countless riches waiting for you, and you will become the richest and most powerful lord in the Continent of the Gods......"
Speaking of this, Charlie was even more excited, the words "wealth" and "power", described through Charlie's mouth, were so tempting, if it weren't for the fact that this captain was really cold, Lu Kuan might really believe him.
Hmph, this kid has a big bad heart, only talking about financial reports and ancient cities, but the details are not revealed at all, and players who are not experienced enough are likely to be fooled by the other party.
To say that Lu Kuan has learned the most important truth in his last life for more than 30 years, that is, there is no free lunch in the world, and the more Charlie talks about it, the more suspicious Lu Kuan becomes.
If Charlie was really as conscientious as he said he was, and loyal to that archmage, why didn't he even ask about the whereabouts of the archmage and the current situation in Silverwing City?
Lu Kuan's mind turned sharply, but his face was not obvious, he habitually pulled the stubble on his chin with his fingers, thought about it, looked at the other party and asked, "Then you say, how can I release you?" ”
As soon as he heard Lu Kuan's meaning of relenting, Charlie immediately became excited, and his dark eyes lit up: "Thank you adventurer!" All you need to do is go to the mage space on the upper floor, retrieve the three things, and you can untie the four chains for me, and then we can follow this prison tower to find the ruins of the ancient city and the treasures! ”
Looking at Charlie's terrifying face, Lu Kuan smiled and nodded, and took over the task.
Leaving the corridor, he could still hear the sound of "bang-la-la" from the room, Lu Kuan glanced back, and then set his eyes on his mission log.
It's an A-class mission.
Okay, I received an A-level task on a trip, and the system is not thin on me~
Lu Kuan grinned, and quickly found the stairs and came to the eleventh floor.
As soon as he came up, Lu Kuan was stunned.
The space in front of him was much larger than Lu Kuan had imagined, with a radius of at least more than a hundred meters, and it was extremely bright, and the entire floor was shrouded in a pale golden light cover.
Directly opposite was a black metal golem bathed in golden light, with dense and exquisite patterns carved on the surface of its body, and its head was surprisingly large.
Seeing this guy, Lu Kuan had a premonition that he would not fly.
