Chapter 161 058: Exploring the Wizard Tower
"No matter how angry I am, it is meaningless now. This is how the wizarding world is. The winner is the king, and the loser can only be a slave."
The old man sighed and then prayed: "At this point, I have only one small request, stranger outsider, please help me release the innocent souls that fell here."
"They were originally my followers. I shouldn't have done this, but I had no choice at the time. I was still lacking some life energy to prepare the Holy Spirit Potion. And I didn't have any more time to find enough substitutes. The war was imminent."
"Their flesh and blood and lives provided me with enough energy to finally complete the potion, but their souls were also imprisoned here."
"Refining the Holy Spirit Potion has consumed all my mental energy. I have no way to release them, and time does not allow me to slowly recover my mental energy. All I can do is guide them into the defensive formation here and let them stay here as guards for the time being."
"If I come back, I will release them and repent for it. If I fail, stranger, you can take everything in this tower, on the condition that you help me release them."
The image ends here, Cleo's figure gradually becomes blurred and finally disappears.
Luo Xi sighed.
Now he understood why there were such dense soul sparks in the town, but he still couldn't see the bodies of the townspeople nor saw any large-scale escape.
It seems that these townspeople were directly refined by this magic potion sage. It's really cruel. The image of the crystal ball disappeared, but a layer of light shone under the thick dust next to the crystal ball. After Luo Xi wiped off the dust on it, he found a note that recorded various protective measures related to this high tower, which was regarded as the operating manual of this wizard tower.
After hundreds of years, most of the protective measures here have lost their effectiveness, but the souls that have survived the refining are still trapped here for a long time.
Nilu asked curiously, "What is this? Brother Luo Xi?"
As the soul image disappeared, the strange energy reaction also dissipated, and she only felt the pressure on her body suddenly reduced.
Luo Xi licked the corner of his mouth and explained: "It is the control manual of this wizard tower. With it, we can explore this wizard tower."
Nilu was stunned: "What about those souls outside?"
Those things are not that powerful, but they are certainly tough enough to deal with.
Luo Xi looked at the manual and said, "I know how to deal with them."
At the beginning, the Potion Sage seemed to have exhausted his mental power in preparing the magic potion. These souls without flesh and blood were trapped in the tower and could not be released. In order to prevent the situation from further deteriorating and destroying the wizard tower, the Potion Sage integrated them into the original protective measures of the tower and made them the guards here.
The methods and means of controlling these soul guards are recorded in detail in this notebook. Once you control them, the soul guards outside will no longer be a problem.
Luo Xi said: "Let's go, let's go out for a walk."
He brought Nilu to the stairs outside. As soon as they appeared here, dense swarms of ghosts flew in from all directions, as if they smelled the delicious scent of the living, filling the entire passage.
"Intruder! Kill the intruder!"
"Kill! Kill them!"
"All invaders must die, all of them must die!"
They stretched out their sharp claws and necks, howling at Luo Xi and Ni Lu with resentment, as if they wanted to eat them alive.
Luo Xi summoned the Grim Reaper's scythe, swung it to draw runes in the air, and recited the relevant spells word by word according to the contents of the notebook.
As the spell was chanted, light blue runes appeared in the air one after another and floated towards the souls.
The souls that were originally noisy suddenly stopped after seeing these runes, just like machines that had pressed a switch. Then, one by one, they sank into the walls or drilled into the floor and ceiling. The originally noisy staircase and corridor suddenly became quiet.
“Finally done!”
Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief. These things had been making such a fuss and howling sounds before, which had really given him a headache for a while.
"Let's go and see what treasures are here!"
Luo Xi walked downstairs with Ni Lu excitedly.
He first came to the material room on the third floor that he could not enter before. There were magic restrictions set up above the material room, and judging from the energy reaction, it was a relatively advanced magic restriction, at least equivalent to the third or fourth ring level.
This level cannot be forcibly opened with Luo Xi's brute force, and it will take more than a day or two to crack it.
But now that he had obtained the operation notes here, it was much easier. Luo Xi just recited the corresponding spell and drew the corresponding runes in front of the entrance, and then he released the system here and entered.
“There are so many good things!”
A sage, especially one who is famous for his potion studies. The treasures in the wizard tower did not disappoint Luo Xi.
Rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of materials, such as dragon blood grass, flower of life, and cry-cry fruit. Just a glance at the ingredients that Luo Xi could name would cost tens of thousands of magic stones if they were put on the market.
"Haha, I'm really going to make a fortune now!"
Luo Xi was overjoyed and immediately took out his space ring to collect the intact materials one by one.
The only drawback is that many of the materials inside have deteriorated and rotted due to being stored for too long. Many magical materials also have a shelf life, and if they are not specially treated for corrosion, they will rot over time. Originally, this material room should have had corresponding corrosion-resistant magic, but it has stopped working due to being stored for too long.
These corrupted materials occupied about 70% to 80% of the material room, which made Luo Xi feel painful. After picking and choosing, only 10% to 20% of the materials that had been preserved for a long time could be selected.
Luo Xi made a rough estimate and found that the value of these alone was over one million magic stones.
"You are truly a sage."
You know, according to what Cleo said just now, he had used up most of the materials before this to prepare some kind of potion, and I'm afraid some of it was also spent on war preparations. Look, many of the shelves here have been cleared out.
Most of it was lost in wars, potion making, and now it has rotted away, but what is left is still worth more than a million magic stones, which shows how rich this wizard tower was before.
And these materials are only one of the treasures in this wizard tower, not even the most valuable part. (End of this chapter)
