Wizard of science

"Da da da……"

Stepping on the steps all the way down, Li He and Devil Alex walked into the entrance under the stone slab.

Walking all the way to the end, Li He raised his hand, and a ball of purple fire jumped up in his hand, illuminating the surroundings. He saw that there was a dungeon under the pond.

Yes, dungeon.

The same dungeon once found beneath Blackstone Castle.

On both sides of a passage, there are numerous cells. Each cell is filled with damaged, decayed, and rusty torture instruments. Some of the floors also have dark brown stains that are unknown for how many years they have been there. , and has not disappeared.

Li He walked towards the deepest part of the dungeon and walked to the door of the last cell.

Not surprisingly, there is indeed a huge metal figure here, it is Iron Maiden, almost exactly the same as the one found in the dungeon of Blackstone Castle.

The difference is that the metal figure does not have the Ring of Duncans or the "Book of Destiny" on its hand.

On the top of the metal statue's head, however, there was something more, which was the energy creature that had escaped.

The green energy creature, which was greatly reduced in size, looked like a weird baby at this time. It grabbed the head of the metal statue and lay on it. It looked at Li He with a pair of vicious eyes. It watched Li He approach the last cell, and his throat There were continuous roars of demonstration from the depths.

It was obvious that it was guarding the cell.

Li He didn't pay attention to the demonstration of the energy creature at all. He walked into the cell and approached the metal statue.

"Squeak!"

The energy creature screamed, and the next moment it rushed out, pounced on Li He's head, stretched out its spiked arms, and wrapped them around Li He's neck.

Li He sneered in his heart, waved his hand, and violent purple flames spurted out, wrapping the energy creature and burning violently.

The energy creature screamed and tried to get away, but it couldn't be done.

Finally, it was burned into a plume of black smoke in the flames and disappeared completely.

Li He glanced at it without paying much attention. He walked close to the metal statue, put his hand on the gap on the side of the metal statue, and opened it with a sudden force.

As expected, it was indeed hollow inside, with densely packed metal spikes fixed on it that made one's scalp tingle at the sight. It was the neodymium in the iron.

Inside, there was a gray stone box. After picking it up and observing it, I found that it looked almost exactly the same as the original Pampas Box.

However, there is no writing on the stone box, it is completely blank.

Li He held the stone box, looked at Alex and asked, "Alen, do you think there might be a devil like you in it?"

"This!" Alex suddenly became nervous. To be honest, ever since he had a severed hand, he felt that his position as the most loyal servant had begun to be challenged. If there were another devil similar to him, it would be really difficult to do this servant job.

After opening and closing his mouth a few times, Alex said uncomfortably: "No way... No way, Master, it's not such a coincidence."

"Haha, is it such a coincidence? You'll know just by opening it and taking a look. I'm also very curious about what kind of clue the count has left for me here..." Li He opened the stone box as he spoke.

The moment he opened it, Alex subconsciously held his breath.

Later, I saw that there was no black mist pouring out of the stone box, and there was no second imprisoned devil.

All there is is a key.

A finger-sized crystal key lies quietly in the stone box, looking crystal clear.

Alex then took a long breath and relaxed.

Li Hyuk, on the other hand, looked at the crystal key and raised his eyebrows lightly.

"A bunch of keys?"

…

In the next few days, Li Hyuk was busy.

On the one hand, Alex and Alex were investigating other haunted houses in Lensa City related to the Blood Witch, looking for hidden energy creatures, dungeons or other clues, but the results were not ideal - nothing was found.

On the other hand is the crystal key obtained through research.

Since it is a key, it is obviously used to open a certain lock.

In addition, after a lot of testing, Li He had to accept the reality that the crystal key has similar characteristics to Hale's crystal ball. It has no response to external stimulation and may require real magic power and a specific method to activate it. .

The only good news is that I contacted the noble young woman Isa who returned to her family safely. After sending a letter to the other party stating the address of his temporary residence, the other party did not hesitate and sent over all the promised things.

These include the ores and medicinal materials that Li He needs, a special book that only wizards can read, the damaged blood amber ring left by the legendary blood witch, and many books related to the rumors of the blood witch.

It is a special book that can only be read by wizards. Li He read it carefully and found that it was mainly written in Wuluk script, with some devil contract texts mixed in. For ordinary people, it was indeed difficult to understand.

After reading it, what he learned made him feel helpless.

This turned out to be an instruction book about wizards refining special potions. Not to mention that he was not a wizard, even if he was a wizard, he could not find many materials recorded in the book. The value of books should not be low, but they are basically of no use to him at the moment and can only be used as a knowledge reserve for the time being.

As for the blood amber ring, it looks like a ring set with a ruby, and there is an obvious crack in the gem.

After wearing it, Li He clearly felt that the blood flow in his body accelerated unconsciously, and his heart began to beat at a high speed, almost instantly putting him in a state where his heart wanted to explode.

Li He guessed that this Blood Amber Ring was not a simple demonized item, and might have certain side effects. Therefore, the prerequisite for its use was that the user must have a certain level of strength. Otherwise, not only would the Blood Amber Ring not be able to exert its powerful power, It will also cause harm to oneself, turning a demonized item into a suicide weapon.

As for how to use the Blood Amber Ring correctly, what are the side effects of the Blood Amber Ring, and how to avoid or weaken the side effects, we have to study and explore slowly and carefully.

Finally, the collection of books related to the rumors of the Blood Witch provided Li Hyuk with a lot of information.

Through the collection of books, Li Hyuk truly understood the story of the Blood Witch.

According to legend, the other party appeared more than a hundred years ago, and its true origin is unknown. It seems to have come from the continent on the other side of the endless ocean.

In the beginning, the blood witch had a very friendly attitude towards people, whether they were nobles or commoners, they would make contact with them. It was also at this stage that many courtyards were purchased in the city of Lensa to live in. Because they were not used to living in them, they simply built them outside the city. The miracle of building a black rock castle overnight occurred.

But this kind of behavior frightened the ignorant people, and Lunsa began to gradually alienate and reject the blood witches. Later, some nobles even gathered soldiers to attack, and as a result, they were slaughtered by the blood witches...

After that, the blood witch stopped contacting people, and the location of the castle became a restricted area for everyone in Lensa, until one day the castle and the blood witch disappeared together.

The Blood Witch is gone, but rumors about the Blood Witch's treasure have been circulating.

It is said that the Blood Witch left many treasures behind. As long as you can find the exact location, you can get unimaginable profits.

After reading this, Li He couldn't help but think of the crystal key in the stone box, wondering whether the crystal key might be the key to unlocking a treasure somewhere.

However, that wasn't what concerned him the most.

What concerned him most was that the book mentioned that the Blood Witch did not come to Lensa alone, but with multiple children. Some people speculate that these children are servants of the Blood Witch. Others speculate that these children are "materials" captured by the Blood Witch from elsewhere and used for evil experiments. Others speculate that these children are students, adopted children, or biological children of the Blood Witch. .

However, none of these speculations have been confirmed.

The only thing that has been confirmed is that during the initial contact between the Blood Witch and the Lensa people, people heard that the Blood Witch called a name, and she was the oldest and tallest girl next to the Blood Witch - this is the only one so far. Know the names of the people around the Blood Witch.

The Blood Witch originally called the girl... Fiona!
