Chapter 185 022: Tower Spirit
Is it that cheap?
Luo Xi quickly heard the hidden meaning of Lina's words and asked quickly, "Miss Lina, do you have any requests?"
Lina shook her head: "I can't really say I have any requests. Anyway, I'm tired of staying here. If someone can help me get out, I'd certainly welcome it."
Tower spirits cannot leave the range of activities defined by wizards. Since becoming a tower spirit, Lina has been confined to this tower. Staying here day after day for decades would probably not be comfortable for anyone.
And if the Elemental Castle occupies this place in the future, her life will probably not change at all and she will still have to stay here.
So of course she welcomed Luo Xi's suggestion which came to her door.
"only"
However, at this point, Lina changed the subject and sighed, "If you want to take me away from here, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
She explained, "I have signed a contract with the tower's master, Shadow Sage Jeraak. At his request, I must serve as a servant to look after the library. I cannot leave here without his order."
Luo Xi frowned. He was very clear about the binding force of the contract. Once signed, it would be bound by the will of the world and it was not something that a young apprentice like him could change.
"unless."
But at this moment, Lina suddenly said: "You can help me burn the contract documents."
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow: "Do you know where the contract documents are?"
Taking the contract document back is indeed a way to terminate the contract, but generally speaking, this kind of document is very important to wizards. Even if they don't carry it with them, they must be placed in a very hidden and safe place.
Lina nodded and said quickly: “I knew it a long time ago.”
"There is a separate secret room in Lord Jeraak's residence on the top floor of this castle. The key to open the secret room is in the mirror, and the contract document is in that secret room. If you can get there, you can get it."
Jerak's residence?
Luo Xi frowned and asked, "What are the protective measures there?"
This is the sage's private residence, and he is not like the potion sage who has been dead for hundreds of years and whose energy has dissipated into nothingness. This sage is still fighting with others outside. Luo Xi has just felt his power firsthand.
Even though they were only a long distance away, the energy fluctuations made Luo Xi realize that this was not something he could easily approach or turn into ashes.
Lina said: "If a little wizard rashly goes to Lord Jeraak's residence, he will surely die."
"but."
At this point, she straightened her chest and said, "With my help, there will be no problem getting there. As a servant of Lord Jeraak for decades, I know his arrangements very well."
Then, Lina told Luo Xi the route map from here to Jeraak's residence, as well as the various protective measures that would be encountered along the way.
Lina has been in this tower for decades. No wizard would set up defenses against such a contracted soul. Many defensive measures were even directly left to Lina to arrange. This resulted in her being familiar with all kinds of protective magic here.
After listening to Lina's detailed explanation, Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take a bold risk. Since he had already come here, it would be a pity to miss such a tower spirit.
"Try it first, if it doesn't work, then withdraw..."
Thinking of this, Luo Xi immediately left the library and began to walk towards the top floor.
The top floor of this wizard tower belongs only to the Shadow Sage Jeraak, and no one else can use the jump stone tablet there without his permission, so Luo Xi can only find a way to get up from other routes.
Following the route given by Lina, Luo Xi circled the corridor several times and soon came to a room where a huge devil vine was planted.
Lina said that this devil vine was one of Jeraak's experiments. Because it was too big and took up too much space, it was transplanted here after the experiment. However, in order to facilitate observation, the space above the link was specially opened up.
And because of this, this devil vine is connected to the above, and through it one can climb to the top floor.
Luo Xi took out leather gloves, bird-beak mask and other protective gear from the space ring and put them on himself. The devil vines are highly polluting. If you are contaminated by the pollutants on them, it will cause certain damage to your mental strength, so you must take good protection.
Coming to the devil's vines, Luo Xi grabbed the vines and began to climb up, completely manually, without releasing a single bit of mental power.
This is because the devil vine is a very strange magical plant. It feeds exclusively on magical life and has no interest in ordinary creatures.
If you reveal an element or mental force field in front of it, you will be attacked violently. But if it is an ordinary human, even if you set fire to it with a torch, it will just ignore it.
This thing doesn't look very impressive, but its combat power is comparable to that of mid- and high-level wizards. If you don't want to get into trouble, the best solution is to climb up honestly.
“Puff puff!”
Holding on to the vines, Luo Xi climbed up step by step honestly.
The spatial structure of the wizard tower is very strange. From the outside, it looks like it is only about a hundred meters high, but in fact its true space is difficult to estimate. After Luo Xi climbed up the vines, more than half an hour passed but he still couldn't see the top of his head.
The surrounding space was no longer a cramped room. It was filled with thick fog all around, making it look like it was deep in the sky.
"Greedy thief, what do you want to do? Do you want to steal Lord Jeraak's treasure?"
"Get back here right now, or don't blame us for being rude!"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from overhead, and several ugly goblins suddenly appeared above the vines, and were driving Luo Xi away with a babbling sound.
Luo Xi was not surprised by this. Lina had told him before that Jeraak had raised a group of goblins on the vines to take care of the devil vines and also to guard the place to prevent thieves like him from climbing up through here.
This is a very sophisticated defensive design. After all, when facing the aggressive goblins, they must be eliminated. However, once magic is used, it will attract attacks from devil vines, and the death will only be more miserable.
If it were any other wizard, there would probably be no good solution at this time, but fortunately it was Luo Xi who was here.
In addition to magic, there are also additional combat abilities——
“clang!”
There was a loud sound of metal intertwining, and Luo Xi pulled out the Glory Greatsword that he had taken out and placed on his back in advance.
Holding the greatsword, he rushed straight upwards.
