Chapter 296: Escape One
Everyone sat on the ground with gloomy faces and said nothing, and the atmosphere was very dull. Henry knew that they were all frightened by the terrifying strength of the enemy, after all, there were only a handful of spellcasters in the entire main plane who were above level thirty. Perhaps the most well-known of these is the "Storm Queen" Xinbu, who was able to withstand the powerful red-robed mage on her own.
"Bastard! Are we so cheap for this damn mage? Apodell punched the ground in hatred, revealing a very unwilling expression.
Henry smiled and shook his head, then stood up and said to everyone, "Of course not! Telling you all this is just to make you more vigilant, and don't leave anything to chance. To know Joan. Irenikas is a man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends, as evidenced by the organs in the jars on the outside. ”
"Does that mean we're going to face a legendary mage next?" Jasila asked, frowning. As a veteran harpist, she knows exactly what kind of power legendary mages wield. Few mortals can escape their detection of magic, and no matter how far they go, they will inevitably be found.
Henry nodded slightly and replied, "That's right." Unless he gets what he wants, he won't give up. He glanced at the two sons of Barr. A new thought suddenly popped up in his heart, if Joan. What will happen to Apoll instead of Aemon who Irenikas has taken? As soon as this idea of destroying the plot appeared in the brain, it immediately became more and more out of control.
You must know that Henry has been careful for so many years, except for his own one-third of an acre. Almost never too much intervention in the surrounding area. What he fears most is that the familiar plot will be broken. All of them are moving in an unpredictable direction. But today I don't know what's going on. All of a sudden, I started wanting to try to make some changes. It seems that after having that strange dream, I don't know why, but I feel as if I am not the same as before. Especially in character, he has become more and more bold, and he has begun to desire to wantonly destroy the plot.
Suddenly, Aeon patted Henry on the shoulder, pulling him back from his contemplative state. "Hey! Don't be in a daze, we need to find Uncle Khalid now, and get out. ”
"Oh. Good. Sorry, I was thinking about dealing with Joan. Irenikas method, accidentally wandering away. Henry sighed helplessly and explained.
The girl secretly kissed him on the cheek while no one was paying attention, and then ran to the front of the group with a smile to scout the trap. The group found a warehouse on the side of the cell where armor and weapons were stored, and Minsk and Jasila picked a few at random and quickly armed themselves.
Heading north along the way out, they encountered a large number of traps and traps, as well as slaves such as gray dwarves and goblins. It seems that Joan. When Irenikas left, all the protective measures were activated. At least when Henry came in, there weren't so many slaves patrolling.
Soon. The crowd came to a room filled with huge glass jars. Jasila took a curious look at it, and immediately ran to the side and vomited. It contains human brains, limbs, organs, and so on. The most important thing is that none of these people are dead, and they can be seen twitching from time to time.
Jasila vomited the last bit of stuff in her stomach and stood up and yelled angrily, "What kind of monster is this guy?!" Such contempt for life! ”
Apodell glanced at the man in the jar with trepidation, clenched his fists, and cursed, "Damn, he probably didn't want to make us like this." I'd rather die in battle than live so miserably. ”
"Don't look at it, there are many places like this room, and they should all be the product of some kind of real failure. Let's go, let's get out of here, I don't want to confront such a madman. With that, Henry dragged Ammon out of the room. He could feel the girl trembling, and he must have remembered some cruel image.
With a heavy heart, the group returned to the road. Now everyone knows how miserable the end will be after being caught, so the pace subconsciously sped up a lot.
The entire underground real yàn room is like a labyrinth, and you can see a room every few tens of meters on average, which is either filled with all kinds of real yàn utensils, or some golems and summoned monsters. Along the way, Henry collected a lot of never-before-seen items and real notes, especially a life support device the thickness of an arm, which can be described as ingenious.
This sci-fi-looking cylinder is made of mythril mixed with other metals. In the middle was a large natural crystal, but it had been hollowed out and filled with a fluorescent mercury liquid. One of the heads has been made into a dense pinhole that can be inserted into a device next to the glass jar to awaken those who have been transformed into strange shapes.
On the other end is a plate-shaped base with a large L carved into it, surrounded by gems and magic pearls. He hadn't figured out how this thing worked for a long time, and it seemed that it was at least an item made with legendary spells.
As he got more and more notes, Henry admired Joan more and more. Irenikas' attainments in life, soul, etc. He had been studying how to complete his soul for so many years, so he had done countless things, and although they all failed in the end, the other things derived from them were very useful.
Henry even felt that as long as he studied and understood all the notes, he would be able to improve and create at least dozens of new potions, and even create legendary potions that could prolong the lives of ordinary people. After all, this life-support device is so amazing that it can allow the person in the jar to survive for years, if not decades, without eating or drinking.
"You'd better not get too obsessed with these things, or sooner or later you'll become as evil as this mage." Jasila couldn't help but remind. She was afraid that her teammates would be attracted to these evil things and throw themselves into the evil camp.
After closing the notes in his hand, Henry smiled and said to Jasila, "Don't worry, I just want to use these techniques to improve the potion. You must know that there is no good or evil in technology itself, everything depends on the person who uses it. ”
"Okay, but you'd better be careful. Many mages also had good intentions at first, but in the end they failed to control themselves and threw themselves into the arms of evil. Jasila couldn't help but remind again.
Henry smiled helplessly and threw the note into the dimensional bag. He didn't want to listen to this "aunt" nagging all the time, so he had to put it away first and secretly study it when no one was around. A gloating smile appeared on Apodell's face. You know, he doesn't usually suffer this kind of treatment, and now it's great that someone has stepped up to share the firepower.
Through the narrow passage, the group came to what looked like a library. Suddenly a monster emerged from behind the bookshelf, with an oversized, elongated head, tiny pig-like eyes, a pug-like nose, a large mouth full of teeth, and a pair of huge bat-winged wings.
"Be careful! This is an Anzu demon from the Nine Layers of Hell! Henry immediately reminded everyone loudly. This is not an easy enemy to deal with, especially with its retarded touch, which can produce an effect similar to "retarded magic", instantly turning a wise mage into an idiot.
The devil laughed when he saw the crowd as if they were facing a great enemy. "Hahaha! Don't be nervous, relax, relax. Barrett Sr. was just a kind librarian, not a combatant. ”
Ammon's eyes widened, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. "Wow! It's the first time I've seen such a talkative monster. You mean you can just let us go? ”
"Of course! You can get guò at any time. As long as it doesn't get in the way of Barrett Sr.'s work. Of course, it would be better if you would like to sit down and talk with me for a while. "The devil stirs his wings behind his back and makes a harmless appearance of humans and animals.
Without hesitation, Apodell refused the other party's request. "Sorry, we're trying to figure out a way out of this place, we don't have much time to stay at all."
The devil sighed with regret. "Hey, that's a shame, and I'd like to tell you about the collection here."
Henry playfully looked at this devil who had completely entered the play, and his psychology had already blossomed. Although its acting and lies are realistic, no one who understands the habits of their race will take them seriously. Deception and misinterpretation are the devil's usual tricks, and this guy is always trying to find a vantage point to launch a surprise attack at any time.
Just as everyone cautiously walked into the passage, a large number of footsteps suddenly came from behind them. A few seconds later, a large group of heavily armed gray dwarves ran out of the corner. One of the leading gray dwarves shouted at the devil, "Haha! Well done Barrett. If the master's important test specimen escapes, we will all go to hell. ”
The devil gave a helpless expression. "You're slow enough, Eliqi. But I really want to go to hell, because that would be like going home. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, get all these people back. Imagine what would happen to us if the owner came back and saw that the test subject was not in the cage properly! The leader of the gray dwarves roared, and quickly commanded his men to surround Apodell and the others.
Amon glared at the devil and asked, "Have you been deceiving us just now in order to stall for time?" Oh, my God! I actually really believe you're a good monster. ”
"Thank you very much for the compliment, but I don't think it's deception, it's wisdom." The devil quibbled with a smug expression. It prides itself on being able to turn a group of mortals around, believing that if its boss at the top of Hell finds out, it will definitely be promoted.
