Throne of Magical Arcana

The darkness is boundless and empty.

Lucien, who was floating, looked around blankly. There was an inexplicable force deep in his heart shouting some inaudible words, which caused the darkness to roll violently, like the depression before the storm.

Suddenly, dark green vines rose from Lucien's feet, and quickly entangled towards his body. The protruding dark red thorns were hideous and terrifying, as if they were covered with dried blood, exuding a sweet fragrance that could paralyze the human body .

The spooky vines were so fast that there was no room for Lucien to escape.

Lucien struggled hard and wanted to cast magic, but found that his mental power was completely dry and there was nothing to stimulate.

The sharp dark red thorns pierced Lucien's body, and the severe pain and numbness instantly spread throughout his body, making him unable to help but scream like Elvis.

With the severe pain, the darkness began to shatter, and rays of light shone in, bright and dazzling.

Lucien's head was in a daze, and the light in front of him made him squint his eyes, but he immediately recalled that he was hit by many negative state rays from the scarlet magic tree that suddenly fell, and even triggered the "boots of dodge" Before he had time to jump and escape, he fainted and fell asleep.

Those two rows of palpitating black eyes came to mind, and Lucien subconsciously inspired himself to "short-distance teleport" in his soul, preparing to avoid the follow-up attack of the Scarlet Demon Tree.

It seems that the "elemental vortex" used before falling asleep helped him to wake up?

And the vine attack in the dark was subconsciously forced to wake up as soon as possible?

But when the "short-distance teleportation" was triggered, Lucien found that his mental power was as dry as in his dream, like a river with mud at the bottom.

"It's the sequelae of using the 'Elemental Vortex' at a higher level!" Lucien had a flash of understanding in his heart, and then forced his hands to roll and dodge.

Having become a second-level knight, after using the "Elemental Vortex", his vitality will not be consumed as severely as before, and he even needs someone to help him when he walks!

As soon as he rolled over, Lucien felt his body soaring into the air. His eyes adapted to the light were shocked to see that this was a small room with white walls and gray walls. How could there be any strange vines coexisting with dark green and dark red? What a huge, strange scarlet demon tree, how could it have two rows of densely packed jet-black eyes!

Crack, Lucien fell to the ground and made a dull sound.

The knight's body was rough and fleshy, and Lucien didn't feel any pain, so he took the time to look around.

The room is small, except for a wooden bed, there is only an open wooden box, which is empty.

"It's so clean and simple, it's really like a single cell." Lucien said to himself doubtfully, "Where is this? Why am I here? I won't be traveling again, right?"

Lucien, who had experienced it once, could not help thinking that he had been killed by the Scarlet Demon Tree, but the matter of crossing has always been one of the deepest secrets in Lucien's heart, so no matter how surprised or confused he did not blurt it out.

Raising his hands, he saw the familiar slender and powerful figure, touched his neck, and felt the summoning mark. Lucien was finally sure that he hadn't crossed over, hadn't died, and his body was still Lucien Evans' body.

But this didn't make Lucien relax, because two black bracelets inexplicably appeared on his hands, they exuded a strange light, and on his neck, according to the touch of Lucien's hands and the sensation of his skin, there was also a Snug collar.

As for his Sun Crown, Fireweaver Bracelet, Holm Crown Ring, Ice Avenger Ring, Boots of Evasion, Transformation Robe, Ogre Monster Power Gloves and other items all disappeared.

Judging from the strange patterns and shapes of the black bracelets, and the needle-like things they pierced into the blood vessels, Lucien judged with a stern expression: "This is the bracelet of confinement, which can confine the power of the blood. The one on the neck should be forbidden magic." Collar, no wonder my mental strength is still dry compared to using the 'Elemental Vortex' before I was promoted to the middle level! What happened?"

Seeing that both the spiritual power and the blood power were imprisoned, Lucien subconsciously tried to enter the soul library, but there was no response in the soul, as if it was hidden and closed by some strange power.

"Does the opening of the soul library require spiritual power as a medium?" Lucien has never tried to enter the soul library without losing his spiritual power, so he infers according to common sense.

Lucien, who did not give up his efforts, continued to try to use the summoning mark on his neck to see if he could make Rhine descend in his dream—he was nicknamed "Observer", and he should know the legend of the "Land of Demons" in the Dark Mountains. En is now very suspicious that he has fallen into this devil's land, and needs more information, more information!

Without blood power and spiritual power, the summoning mark cannot be activated. Lucien couldn't help frowning, as if he had returned to the weak stage when he just traveled and hadn't learned magic yet.

"I have a normal body, a soul essence that has been enhanced and mutated a lot, and I am much better than before in terms of thinking and sensitivity, so I can't give up in frustration, there is still hope! The most important thing now is to collect information here, so that I can Decide what to do next." Lucien quickly regained his composure.

In fact, even if the soul returns to normal, Lucien can still maintain a good mental state, and will not waver or hesitate. The belief of not giving up and not yielding after so many hardships is one of the most precious treasures in life. His wealth is the knowledge he has already mastered, such as the understanding of the alchemy structure of the bracelet of confinement, the collar of the forbidden magic, and the composition of the magic circle!

Lucien pulled the iron door and found that it was locked, so he went back to the bed and sat down, ready to try to study the confinement bracelet. At this time, there was a crisp sound of keys jingling outside the door.

Then, Lucien clearly heard the sound of the key being inserted into the lock, and then with a click, the iron door was slowly pushed open.

A young man with a ruddy face as if he was drunk slowly walked in with a large bunch of keys, his back seemed to be habitually arched, but when he saw Lucien, he puffed out his chest with a little arrogance Authentic: "Since you are awake, follow me to see the master."

He was dressed in a servant's black short robe and trousers, and there were no restraints on his wrists or neck.

"Master?" Lucien, who had finally waited for others to appear, naturally would not miss the opportunity to ask, at least he had to figure out where this place was and why he was here before going to meet the mysterious "Master".

The young man glared at Lucien angrily: "What qualifications do you have to call the master? You are just a guy who was rescued by the master when he saw that the experimental materials were scarce!"

"You have to remember that you are the lowest and most humble experimental material in the magic tower!"

Lucien's heart skipped a beat, the magic tower, the experimental materials, this is just a better result than death.

However, as long as you are not dead, there is still hope!

"Save me back? What is this place?" Lucien, who pretended not to understand, continued to ask.

The young servant's temper seemed to be a little grumpy, and his tone became more and more bad: "I was born and raised here, how do I know how to describe this place? Those guys who accidentally broke in and then couldn't get out seem to call this place A place for imprisoned demons."

"I actually fell into the land of demons. My luck must have been too bad. Even a not-so-dangerous letter delivery mission has such a terrifying change." Lucien sighed slightly, feeling indescribable.

After finding Elvis, the liaison, Lucien thought that the mission was nearly completed, because he often went back and forth between the adventurer camp and the magic tower of the Nightmare King, and he would hardly encounter powerful magic creatures with him leading the way. Who knew that the land of demons would actually move over, causing the danger index to rise rapidly.

"What happened to those guys who couldn't get out? By the way, where is my companion?" Lucien asked following the words of the young servant.

The young servant seemed to have thought of something funny, and replied angrily: "Your companion? He has turned into a mummy. Those who accidentally broke in, either made snacks for the monsters in the surrounding forest, or became I took the master's experimental materials, only two are still alive, and they will be locked next to you. No, there are three who are alive... bastard, shut your mouth! Follow me to see the master!"

It was the first time he had seen Lucien who insisted on asking "one hundred thousand whys" even though he knew he was in a bad situation, so he answered the question casually, but while he was talking, his face suddenly changed, revealing a deep feeling. With deep fear and worry, he sternly asked Lucien to shut up.

Lucien didn't provoke him any more, and followed him with the bracelet of imprisonment and the collar of the forbidden magic, and walked to the upper level of the magic tower.

Along the way, Lucien stared at the back of the young servant earnestly, roughly judging his hand-to-hand combat strength from his walking posture and the weight of his steps, and evaluated the possibility that he would suddenly pounce on him and break his neck or knock him out .

When he reached the fifth floor of the Magic Tower, Lucien looked away and recalled the materials he had borrowed from the library of the Magic Council: various human experiments conducted by ancient magicians.

When they came to a black door with mysterious patterns, the servant knocked lightly on the door: "Master, the experimental material you just picked up has woken up. I'll bring him to see you."

"Bring him in." An old hoarse female voice seemed to emerge from the crack in the door.

Lucien didn't wonder about the gender of his master. For dangerous ancient magicians, gender didn't affect their degree of perversion.

The black door retreated by itself, and Lucien saw the whole picture of the magic laboratory. It was similar to the one left by Maskelyne, with gray liquid "ether" flowing back and forth, and tentacles covering the entire magic laboratory. Pipes and black lines, there are pale human hands hanging in the air, holding deformed like chicken feet, there are also dissecting tables, large alchemy platforms, countless strange-shaped experimental devices and utensils.

A terribly stooped old woman in a red magic robe stopped dissecting the human body and turned to look at Lucien.

Her hair was fluffy and gray, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to have lost its elasticity. Her whole body was shriveled and thin, and she was extremely ugly and terrifying.

The old woman looked at Lucien carefully for a while with her green and cloudy eyes, nodded her head slightly, and said in an old and frantic voice: "You need to give an electric shock first."
