Lord Highlander

   Chapter 474 473. Prison under the Magic Tower

  The leader of the Constructed Swordsman Group stood behind Marquis Luther. Their eyes met, and he nodded slightly to Suldak.

The magician who brought Suldak and Captain Cody in walked to the door of the prison, and pressed his hand on the center of the magic circle carved on the stone door. After inputting a little mana, the magic pattern circle lit up one after another, heavy The stone door opened, and countless gears interlocked and squeaked, making a sharp and piercing sound.

The magician turned his head and said to Suldak: "The black magician is good at dark magic, such as 'charm', 'hypnosis' and some magic that exerts negative emotions. Although there is a forbidden magic circle in the prison, how much can it restrain him? The effect, I don’t know yet, don’t get too close to him, lest he will use some special means to affect you, if you encounter an emergency, quickly retreat to the door, we are outside.”

  Suldak nodded, and stepped into the stone gate.

Outside the prison, Marquis Luther, the supreme commander of the Maca plane, was still discussing with the middle-aged magician beside him: "This time the succubus has had a great influence on the Pena Army's infiltration. If the information was not brought back in time, the Bena Army I don't know how much loss I have to bear here, what progress have you made?"

  The middle-aged magician said unhurriedly:

"Although the specific location of the **** passage is not marked on the magic note, there are many important information recorded in the magic notebook. The establishment of a **** passage has very strict requirements on the surrounding environment. According to our understanding of the Maca plane, Areas that can satisfy that special environment can roughly be locked into two areas, and the magic union has started deduction based on specific data, and the results will be obtained soon..."

  The stone door behind Suldak closed slowly, and finally there was a bang, and all sounds stopped abruptly.

Suldak stood in the prison and closed his eyes, and then opened it again to adapt to the light in the room. The cold prison seemed to be isolated from everything, and all the sounds seemed to be amplified countless times. Darker imagined it to be bigger, the bluestone floor is covered with magic runes, these runes are connected together to form a complex magic circle, and beams of magic glow flow through the runes, which is also the only light source in the prison .

   Walking into the prison, the black magician was tied to a cross, looking a little depressed.

Hearing a sound at the door, he tried his best to raise his lowered head, and saw Surdak with a mocking smile on his face: "They thought I would tell the location of the passage to **** under the threat of death, but they thought wrong Well, death is not the end of life for us. Maybe you can’t understand what I said now, but you will understand these principles sooner or later. Compared with the eternity of life, we are like those floats that are dying. Only when you have come into contact with black magic and truly felt its infinite charm will you understand how I feel now."

  His breath was weak, and he seemed weak when he spoke, but Suldak could hear him very clearly.

   "I want to meet you because I don't know your name yet..."

   "Suldak, the knight of the Hailansa Guard Battalion!" Suldak said.

The black mage lowered his head weakly. He looked a little painful. His arms were suspended in mid-air, and he seemed to have been dislocated. After the magic robe was ripped off, the linen shirt inside was also covered with various magic runes. .

The black magician said to Suldak: "If you want to hear something from me, I advise you to dispel such thoughts. After learning black magic, you are destined to stand on the opposite side of the Grimm Empire Magic Union. I know There will be a day when I will be sent to the stake, but I didn’t expect this day to come so soon, I built a **** passage in the Maca plane, the only regret is that I couldn’t strengthen this passage by myself.”

   There was a frenzy in his eyes, with a weird smile on his face, and a short spell spit out from his mouth.

Suldak had a very bad idea, he quickly took two steps back, a fingernail-sized black flame flew out against his body, and landed on the stone wall behind Suldak. A dull spark sputtered from the black flames before disappearing against the wall.

The black mage seemed to know that Suldak could dodge, he smiled contemptuously at Suldak, a black flame rose from under his feet, and the flame quickly ignited the linen shirt on his body. In a few seconds, the black flame completely devoured the black mage.

  The black mage's face was a bit hideous under the black flame.

  Suldak hurriedly ran to the prison door to call for someone. The black magician became a little crazy under the burning of the black flame, and he shouted in a sharp voice:

   "Suldak, listen, the passage of **** will eventually connect to Roland Continent again, and the gate of demons will reopen. The day when the demon army descends will be the end of you people..."

  Wait until Marquis Luther and the middle-aged magician rushed in with his assistants, the black magician was already surrounded by black flames.

  Under the flames, the flesh and blood melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The skeletons of the black mage showed a clear outline in the flames. It didn't take long for only the skeleton bound by chains to remain on the cross.

  Suldak looked at Marquis Luther apologetically and said:

   "He didn't say anything."

   "This has nothing to do with you!"

  Marquis Luther looked at the middle-aged magician, who was checking the magic circle on the ground. He frowned and said:

   "The Forbidden Magic Circle here is not very effective for a black mage like him, and the 'Hellfire' rune should be drawn on him. He only needs to recite a short spell to trigger the 'burning' magic."

  Marquis Luther glanced at the skeleton hanging on the cross with traces of sparks, and said:

   "I just didn't expect him to be so decisive. The black mage's clues are broken. I hope his magic notebook will have more clues."

   At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the prison corridor, and Captain Cody ran to the prison door panting, reporting to Marquis Luther:

   "Marquis Luther, the Constructed Swordsmen found a large number of Hellhounds in the northern suburbs of the city. They seem to have sprung from a leyline."

   Marquis Luther was refreshed, straightened his body immediately, and ordered Captain Cody:

   "Understood, immediately go to inform the top commanders of each battalion, and hold a temporary meeting at the headquarters..."

   "Yes, my lord!"

  Captain Cody gave a military salute, turned around and quickly left the prison.

  …

Hearing that there is a large-scale operation by the Cerberus Legion, and the location of the outbreak is in a leyline, these Cerberus hiding in the dark are likely to be the guards of the Hell Passage, and the Bena Army must take corresponding actions immediately. Marquis Luther and the head of the Constructed Swordsmen left in a hurry.

   Now that the battlefield outside the city has extended into the jungle, the Cerberus Legion was unable to form a siege to Wojmara City as early as three days ago.

   Now that the big hellhounds appear in the mountains on the northern outskirts of the city, it is obviously a new round of action by the hellhounds.

  Suldak also wanted to rush back to the Hailansa Guard Battalion as soon as possible. Perhaps the Guard Battalion would soon receive a transfer order from the headquarters.

   Just as Suldak followed Marquis Luther to the outside of the prison, he heard the middle-aged magician shout to him:

   "Suldak Knight, please wait a moment!"

  Suldak stopped and turned to look at the calm middle-aged magician.

   "Master Magician, what can I do for you?"

  The middle-aged magician walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Suldak, and raised his hand to signal Suldak to continue walking outside.

His voice was unhurried, and his eyes looked very lively. He pulled the corners of his mouth, but the smile on his face was a little stiff, so he said: "You can call me Magician Miller. If there is no urgent military affairs If you want, you can sit upstairs in my laboratory."

   "Um, good!"

Suldak followed Magician Miller out of the underground prison, and walked along the spiral stairs of the magic tower to the top of the tower. After passing the first and second floors of the magic tower, the space on the third floor of the magic tower became much smaller. The hall was divided into two areas, with only a few rooms around it. A female magician assistant saw Magician Miller coming up from below, and hurried up to meet him.

   Magician Miller said to the female magician assistant: "Open the door of Showroom No. 3!"

This showroom is not too big. When Suldak walked into the showroom, he found that there were some magic models on the exhibition tables inside. Extremely simple floating devices, quick-fire magic guns, etc., but a model of the portal captured by Suldak was placed on a new booth.

   Magician Miller walked to the front of the portal model, watched the ring engraved with countless magic patterns continuously rotating in the swirling black air with scorching eyes, and said:

"This portal model almost perfectly reproduces the structure of the passage of hell. It plays an important role in the study of space magic for the magic union. Thank you for bringing it back. The magic union will have some extra rewards for it. .”

  Suldak didn't expect the rewards to come so quickly. There should be corresponding military rewards from the Bena Army, and he was vaguely looking forward to it.

  Miller Magician continued:

"The reward can be some magic crystals or precious magic potions, including powerful healing potions, lion power potions, swiftness potions, powerful troll potions, or you can choose two handy weapons from our magic guild's enchanting arsenal , can also help you make an appointment with an inscription master to design a magic pattern structure for you, I mean the kind engraved on your body, I heard that you can perceive sacred elements, so you don't have to wait until the second turn, you can do it now You can draw the magic pattern structure on your body, but you need to pay half of the cost of the magic pattern structure."

  Suldak knew that among these choices, the least valuable one was precisely the magic spar that could reflect the most value.

  The most precious thing is to make an appointment with an inscription master to personally design a magic pattern structure, and his physical condition is unable to draw a magic pattern structure. He did not hesitate to remove these two options first.

As for magic weapons or magic potions, since the huge plane rich in magic herbs is occupied by the forces of the Dark Legion of Hell, the price of magic herbs in the Grimm Empire has been rising steadily. There is no doubt that magic potions are far away in terms of rarity and appreciation space. Much better than magic weapons.

   To put it another way, potion dealers can exchange magic potions for magic weapons without any effort in the hands of magic weapon dealers in any city of the Grimm Empire, but not vice versa.

  However, for Suldak, the healing potion and the power of the lion potion are not very effective for him, and he can't keep the potion and wait for the value of the potion to increase. It is more practical to choose a magic weapon.

  Especially both Andrew and Greetham lack a handy magic weapon.

It suddenly occurred to Suldak that he had promised Samira that he would heal her injured arm when he returned to Wojmara City. The biggest problem Samira faced right now was that the explosive force of her bloodline power exceeded the limit of her arm. The carrying capacity may have been slightly higher than before, but as her injured arm burst more and more times, her arm condition became worse and worse, and now she can only try the magic weave breeding outfit.

  He considered it for a while before saying:

   "Master Miller, I just have something to ask for your help..."

  The middle-aged magician stared at Suldak suspiciously, and said:

   "Tell me what's going on!"

Suldak hastily dug out the magic-weave spirit bone obtained from the magic ape from his magic pocket, took out a magic-sealing box, took out the spirit bone wrapped in oil paper from the box, and carefully opened the package. The oiled paper of the spirit bone revealed the spirit bone with gorgeous magic patterns flowing inside, and then said to Magician Miller:

   "I would like to ask the magician in the magic guild to help me identify the attribute and the required carrying capacity of this piece of magic pattern spirit bone."

   Magician Miller thought it was such an embarrassing thing, but he didn't expect that it was just to identify the magic pattern spirit bone, which is not a difficult task in the magic union.

  So he readily agreed: "This is not too difficult, and it's not about engraving the magical circle on the magic-weave spiritual bone. You can put the magic-weave spiritual bone with me, and someone will notify you when you have it."

  Suldak was overjoyed.

   "Thank you, Mister Miller."

   Magician Miller took Suldak out of the showroom, walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor of the magic tower, waited for a while, saw that Suldak did not continue to speak, and said:

   "Then let's get back to the topic, about those rewards... tell me your choice!"

  Suldak didn't expect Magician Miller to be so generous, and the identification of the magic-weave spirit bone was just a bonus, so he said, "I choose to choose magic weapons!"

Although Magician Miller was a little surprised, he didn't say much. He took Surdak to a room, opened the door and glanced into the room, and casually said to Surdak: "Then the next , I will let my assistant pick out two magic weapons for you."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, and then told the magician who was immersed in the magic experiment in the room: "Guy, please take this Suldak knight to the magic weapon storehouse No. 3, and pick out two pieces he likes Magic weapon!"
