Leaving the unconscious orc wizard on the first floor of the wizard tower, Meng and Ash followed Sigourney and walked towards the most important library and laboratory in the wizard tower.
Both locations are located in the lower levels of the Wizard Tower.
As they walked down the stairs, Meng also asked Sigourney and Ash about their previous experiences with concern.
The two men's experiences were similar to his, except that they encountered the devil, which shocked Meng deeply.
"What happened to Ash?" he asked in surprise, "He actually got rid of the devil's temptation on his own?"
Demons are good at spying on people's hearts. As long as there is a flaw in the heart, they will take advantage of it. Even if you are deceiving yourself, you dare not say that your heart is flawless.
Sigourney responded softly, confirming Meng's words.
Meng was amazed: "Ash is really amazing. Only a strong and determined soul can defeat the devil's conspiracy."
Ash's face flushed with praise, and he didn't feel like he had done anything.
All I can say is that the devil had bad luck. He had preconceived ideas and mistook him for Sigourney. He applied the dream that Sigourney had woven for the protagonist to him, but the result was not what he expected. Naturally, the effect on him did not meet the devil's expectations.
It's not that the devil lacks professional ability, but that the devil is just too unlucky.
Ash later thought that if the devil came specifically to target him and used everyone in Duogu Village and Sigourney to shake him, he might not be able to escape successfully.
But the body swap involved a contract, so it was not convenient to reveal it to Meng, so Meng could only mistakenly believe that the devil was targeting Ash from the beginning, but the result was a failure.
Ash could only praise in confusion, because he felt that his praise was not worthy of the reputation and felt very embarrassed. The blush on his face spread all the way to the tips of his ears.
Sigourney ignored Ash's pleading look and stood by coldly, with only a tiny smile on her lips.
They were in the heart of the wizard tower, and even when they were talking, they were extra wary of the magic traps and barriers inside.
However, as we walked along, it was incredibly calm and nothing happened.
Compared to the endless dangers they encountered after entering the Crystal Forest, this place was abnormally peaceful.
Like a fake forest center.
Like a fake Rachel's wizard tower.
Even if you go to any wizard tower outside, no matter how low-level it is, there are mechanisms and traps inside, which are basic internal defenses.
The high-level wizard towers are even more amazing, with impregnable internal defenses and attack power that should not be underestimated.
A wizard can use his wizard tower to trap and kill a group of wizards who are more powerful than him.
That's why Iluv gave the warning "Don't mess with the wizards in their own wizard tower", which can be simply translated as: Don't seek death.
But this wizard tower is too clean. Meng thought in amazement, the way he walked was smooth, as if all the magic traps and mechanisms had been cleared.
Who cleared it?
Has someone come in already?
Even if someone has come in, it is impossible to eliminate all the traps, right? Do you have nothing to do?
He wanted to discuss this strange situation with Sigourney, but when he saw Sigourney's calm expression, he raised his eyebrows casually and kept silent.
Sigourney was more familiar with this place than he was. Since Sigourney didn't find it strange, what was he worried about?
Sigourney was indeed composed.
Even though the wizard tower, which was supposed to be full of traps and a hundred or a thousand times more dangerous than the outside world, was suddenly stripped of its fangs and claws and turned from a man-eating beast into a docile little white rabbit, he accepted it calmly.
The reason why he was calm was that before Ash came in, he said that he did not feel any danger from the wizard tower.
Second...he probably guessed what Rachel was planning.
The madman was reluctant to let his life's work be buried and rot in the middle of the forest, just like he couldn't help showing off his great genius ideas to his experimental materials every time he conducted an experiment.
He would not let his great ideas die with his death.
He wants to make his idea come to fruition perfectly.
The whole of Iluf was shocked.
Therefore, the layers of levels in the Crystal Forest are a kind of screening.
Select wizards with absolute strength to come to the wizard tower and inherit his research.
The devil was probably the examiner of the final stage, and he selected the successor according to the conditions set by Rachel. Those who met the conditions were passed, and those who did not were eliminated.
——It’s a pity that the devil was wiped out before he could select a qualified successor.
Putting aside the fact that the devil failed, if someone passed the devil's screening and entered the wizard tower, then he would be the successor chosen by Rachel.
The entire wizard tower was his inheritance.
In order to protect the integrity of the heritage, of course all the magic traps in the wizard tower must be closed.
Anything could happen in a battle, and if they met a tough guy, it was possible that the tower would collapse. Rachel regarded his research data as her hard work, and of course she didn't want to see the heir collide with the magic traps of the wizard tower and finally destroy his hard work.
——After all, she had been Rachel’s experimental material. As Meng thought, Sigourney was indeed very familiar with this place. She was familiar with the structure of the wizard tower and the owner of the wizard tower.
This is just his guess now, but to see if the reality is as he thought, he still has to go into Rachel's laboratory to take a look.
The first place they arrived at was the first floor where the laboratory was located.
A metal door with a tiny crack was embedded in the stone wall on the side of the corridor. A chill that seemed to penetrate the bone marrow seemed to flow out through the crack of the door. Behind the door was a laboratory that once flowed with blood and wailing, and tortured countless lives.
"Ash and I will go to the lab first," Sigourney said to Mon, "The library is on the next floor."
Meng raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "Don't force it. If you think of something unhappy, just hug Ash next to you." After saying that, he looked down the corridor excitedly: "Then I'll go to the lower floor first."
Sigourney: "..."Will you be happy if I hug you? = =
He subconsciously glanced at Ash, and happened to meet Ash's bright and expectant eyes. He was about to refute Meng's words, but suddenly stopped.
"……be safe."
"You too."
The three of them split up and Meng could not wait to go downstairs while Sigourney pushed open the metal door in front of her.
He has been to this floor many times.
Rachel's laboratory is divided into many areas. Entering from the metal door, there is a straight corridor, and on both sides of the passage are these experimental areas.
Sigourney had been in almost every one of them.
Now, as he walked along this corridor, the familiar scene easily evoked his memories of the past.
Mental torment and physical pain.
With every step I took, every time I passed the entrance of a room, the cruel scenes kept coming one after another and were superimposed before my eyes.
He recalled many tortures that happened here. How could it be easy to artificially interfere with the heritage of vampires and transform from elves to vampires, which violated the laws of nature?
The dark memories were like a rotten swamp, dragging him into the abyss without sunlight once again.
But memory is just memory. The past is the past.
Sigourney's eyes wandered around the laboratories on both sides without avoiding it. He remembered it, and the memory was still quite deep and clear, but his expression was indifferent and unmoved.
As if he was fearless, he walked calmly and openly in the swamp that devoured his prey. The swamp could not swallow him, not even a small part of his ankle.
He was strong enough ten years ago to become the only miracle in Rachel's experiment - the only one who survived the experiment successfully and the only one who escaped from the tower.
Ten years later, he stands here, even more impeccable.
He did not stop or hesitate, and walked deeper into the tunnel with Ash at his usual pace.
However, he didn't expect the guy following behind him to suddenly attack and hug him from behind.
Sigourney had almost gotten used to not being able to react to Ash's approach. He paused, looked down at his arms tightening in front of his abdomen, and twitched his lips: "Hey, you didn't really believe what Meng said?"
He said helplessly: "I don't feel forced, nor am I unhappy."
He said: "I am the winner, and now I am standing in the loser's territory - why do you think I am in a bad mood?"
He was actually in a good mood.
Ash's voice was buried in his back, muffled: "I don't think you're in a bad mood."
Sigourney raised an eyebrow: "Then why did you suddenly hug me?"
Ash coughed lightly and whispered, "Because Sigourney was so handsome just now... I couldn't help it..."
Did he do anything just now?
Aren't you walking the same way as before?
Sigourney: "..." As narcissistic as he is, he suddenly wanted to tell Ash to shut up.
He pressed his forehead and said coldly: "Have you hugged enough?"
Ash consciously loosened his grip, moved closer to Sigourney, and gave him a sheepish smile.
Sigourney tapped his forehead unceremoniously, leaving a red mark on his fair and smooth forehead, and then turned around and said, "Let's go and reap the fruits of our victory."
Ours, huh?
Ash smiled and covered his forehead, then followed Sigourney.
He didn't say anything. Sigourney, who was walking gracefully and calmly in the experimental area with her back straight, seemed to be glowing in his eyes. She was strong and tough, and he couldn't help but get closer to her - just like Sigourney had always been his goal, his vision, and his ideal. He followed in Sigourney's footsteps and was deeply attracted to her.
Sigourney is amazing.
He thought that even if the devil had not chosen the wrong person before and had pulled the real Sigourney into the dream, it would definitely fail again.
Even when he just hugged Sigourney for a moment, he seemed to have drawn endless courage from her.
If he were to face the devil alone again, he would surely be the victorious one.
