The experimental area was completely cleared out, and half a day had passed.
Ash took out the dried meat he had prepared earlier and ate it with some water. Then he and Sigourney went downstairs to look for Meng.
On the way back, Sigourney had no intention of taking Ash to see the laboratory where he had worked.
As they walked past a closed laboratory, Sigourney raised her chin and told Ash, "I escaped from this laboratory."
Ten years ago, he was successfully transformed here, and then escaped from the wizard tower, escaped from the crystal forest, and gained freedom.
Escaping from the interior of a wizarding tower that must have been heavily guarded?
Ash looked at Sigourney eagerly, how did you do that?
Perhaps it was because of the great harvest, or perhaps it was because she felt relaxed after revisiting the old place and figuring out some things, Sigourney told Ash about what happened ten years ago in a casual tone.
He had been transformed into a vampire at that time.
But the body's rejection reaction was very severe, and it was so weak that it seemed that in a few days, it would breathe its last, just like the elves that died on the experimental table.
He was in terrible physical condition, and in Rachel's opinion, he was a failure.
But compared to Bart and the elves who died before, he was not a cookie-cutter failure - at least based on Bart who died in the middle of the transformation, he was completely transformed successfully - although he could not live for too long.
Even if it's just so-so, it can be considered a stage achievement.
I don't know whether it was out of showing off or she wanted to find a wizard to work together to advance the next experiment, anyway, on the third day after Sigourney's transformation, someone came to Rachel's wizard tower. It was Sigourney who was invited by Rachel to come and see the experimental results.
Rachel has no friends, but she does have a wizard to work with. Birds of a feather flock together, and she is also a dark wizard with bloody methods.
The dark wizard came through the makeshift teleportation array that Rachel had built.
However, Sigourney, who Rachel thought could only lie there and wait to die, took this opportunity to use the temporary teleportation array to teleport herself away.
He was teleported to the dark wizard's territory, a place called the Near Abyss Mountains. It took a lot of effort to get rid of the pursuit. However, after getting rid of the pursuit, he fell into a coma.
"I seemed to have said before that Meng did me a favor?"
Ash nodded, this is what Sigourney had said when he first met Mon at the wizard fair.
"It was at that time." Sigourney raised the corners of her lips imperceptibly, "Meng found me and healed my wounds."
Ash suddenly realized that he had always felt that Uncle Meng was very familiar with Sigourney. It turned out that they had met from the beginning.
But then I felt sad again.
Sigourney outlined his escape route in just a few words, but how could the process be as simple as a simple conversation?
How did he use the teleportation array right under Rachel's nose?
How to get rid of the pursuit and leave the territory of the dark wizard which is not much better?
Sigourney didn't say it, but Ash could imagine how dangerous and thrilling it was.
If there had been any mistake, Sigourney wouldn't be standing next to him now.
Thinking so, when Ash arrived at Rachel's library, he ignored Rachel's large collection of treasures over the years, and first looked at Meng, who was unfolding a scroll and frowning in thought, with his eyes shining.
Thank you Uncle Meng, you are such a nice person!
Meng, who received the Good Guy Card from afar, felt inexplicably startled.
It just happened to pull him out of his thoughts.
He noticed Sigourney and Ash at the door. He seemed to have been holding back for a long time and suddenly found an outlet to talk. He became excited: "Sigourney, Ash! What are your plans? I plan to stay here for a while! You can't imagine how many ancient documents Rachel has collected. These are all history! Clear history!"
Ash then looked around.
Just now in the study room of the experimental area, he had seen the vast collection of books, but now looking here, it was obviously nothing compared to them.
An entire floor of the wizard tower is filled with books.
Although this is on the top floor of the wizard tower and the smallest area among the single floors, the space is still quite spacious.
Ash glanced at the nearest bookshelf and found that most of the books there had a stale smell of history. Some were already in fragments, with most of the pages missing, some were written on various animal skins, and some were placed in special crystal cabinets, obviously carefully protected.
"Don't look over there." Meng waved at Ash, "Those are the originals over there, best not to touch them. Rachel's copies are all over here."
You can read the copied ones at will.
Ash walked over and glanced at a row of bound books. They looked quite new because they were copied versions.
His eyes fell on the spine of a thick book... a materials illustration?
He pulled out the book curiously, held it in his hand and flipped through a few pages.
Sure enough, it was different from the material illustrations he had usually seen.
The materials mentioned above are all common materials in ancient times, and they correspond to many of the magic materials I just put into my bag.
He immediately had the idea of finding a place to sit down and read the book carefully.
"Put it down first." Meng Ye put the scroll in his hand on the bookshelf, patted Ash's shoulder, and signaled to Sigourney, "Come and look at this."
When Sigourney and Ash emptied the upstairs, Meng also explored the ground floor. He was not in a hurry to read. How could he finish reading so many books in a short time? Just like he said to Sigourney, he had already planned to settle down here.
"Before we move in, I need to ask the owner's opinion." Meng said as he pointed to a crystal stone that was sunken in the middle of the floor and was about waist-high to Sigourney and Ash. There was a dark magic circle engraved inside the crystal stone, which looked cold and creepy.
Ash now had some common sense about the wizarding world, and even though it was his first time seeing it, he still recognized it, "The hub of the wizard tower?"
How does a wizard tower identify its owner?
It depends on this kind of hub!
By imprinting the spirit on the hub, the wizard tower will become like the wizard's second pair of hands and feet, able to hit wherever he points, as if he were using his own arm.
Now that Rachel is dead, the hub in front of us is ownerless. Anyone can imprint a spiritual mark on the hub and control this wizard tower.
What Meng had just said also made it clear that he did not want to take over the tower, leaving it to Sigourney and Ash to choose.
Signy was just as straightforward as Mon, and gently pushed Ash's shoulder, "Remove the mental imprint."
Ash: "Me?"
Meng smiled: "Of course it's you. I can't stay in one place for too long, it's so boring. If this tower is given to me, it will just be abandoned forever, what a waste. As for Sigourney... uh, psychological trauma?" His voice gradually became smaller as he spoke.
Sigourney glanced at him, but didn't retort. Instead, she admitted calmly, "Yes, psychological trauma."
Ash: "..." Liar.
Knowing that Sigourney had made up an excuse without sincerity, Ash still did not expose it. He did not refuse again, and honestly imprinted his spiritual power on the hub of the wizard tower, taking control of the entire wizard tower.
After the branding was successful, the overall situation of the wizard tower appeared in his mind.
Only when he became the real master of the wizard tower did he feel a lingering fear... This tower was full of magic traps. To exaggerate, there was almost a magic circle engraved on every brick of the wall. It was as dangerous and sinister as the forest outside.
If all the magic circles in the wizard tower were activated, he and Sigourney probably wouldn't be able to go deeper as easily as they do now.
He closed his eyes and tried hard to digest this huge and complex information.
Meng was watching from the side, his expression gradually becoming somewhat surprised.
In fact, he was inclined to hand over the wizard tower to Signy at first.
It's not that I don't trust Ash because he's too young, but even though Rachel's wizard tower was self-built, it must be of a very high grade. Although it's not as good as the wizard tower of Mr. Nance, it's not something Ash's mental strength can control.
...At least he has to be a high-level wizard, right?
High-level wizards probably find it difficult.
Anyway, it's not something a wizard apprentice like Ash can eat.
But he received Sigourney's silent eye hint, and out of his confidence in Sigourney, he said, without showing any surprise, that he would hand over the wizard tower to Ash.
Now that Ash was beginning to accept the Wizard Tower completely, he couldn't help but watch closely with some nervousness, thinking that if Ash showed any discomfort, he would immediately intervene to stop the process.
However, from beginning to end, until Ash opened his eyes, he didn't get the chance to attack.
He couldn't help but be surprised, his eyes fell on Sigourney's expressionless face from beginning to end: "How did you know..." Knowing that Ash could do it? Just a wizard apprentice, how could he successfully control this wizard tower?
Sigourney gave Meng a mocking look in return.
He had been to Ash's spiritual world, so he naturally knew the upper limit of Ash's spiritual world.
Ash could still handle a mere Rachel's wizard tower.
