Free for a limited time Chapter 0308: Exploring the Ancient Castle

Thirteen days later...

Alice arrived at Weyrick Castle in a car in the rain.

When the black carriage passed through the spacious crescent-shaped doorway, drove past the road paved with fine gravel, bypassed the huge and exquisite mermaid fountain, and stopped in front of the three-story main building of the castle, many servants, including gardeners, cooks, handymen, maids, guards, butlers, etc., were waiting here with their heads bowed.

Their expressions were flattering and embarrassed, and there was unconcealed panic in their eyes.

Those who could stay had signed a contract with the castle, so at this time they were also considered part of the castle's wealth.

Seeing the first few people who got off the carriage, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were four wizard apprentices, Kerr and Warren, and they were all "old men" who had served in the castle for five or six years. Seeing them, everyone felt relieved.

When Alice, wearing a light yellow dress, appeared in front of everyone, they were confused at first, and then formally greeted her under the guidance of four wizard apprentices.

"Okay, let's go!" Alice waved her hand impatiently, "Set up the residence for me first, and the manager will report to me later. The rest continue to complete their work!"

Everyone hurriedly obeyed.

An hour later, after a simple bath, Alice met the castle butler in the bedroom on the second floor.

This is an old man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, gray hair, and meticulous dress. He is also the old butler who has served in Weyrick Castle for more than fifty thoughts. Of course, he also has the title of nobility because he has the honor of serving a wizard.

It is actually normal for wizards to employ a large number of low-level nobles in their private industries!

After all, there are too few ordinary people who can read and write and understand calculations.

"Tell me, what kind of industry does this Weyrick Castle have? I want to listen carefully!" Alice was wrapped in a soft silk robe, leaning against the chair, looking very old.

As she had just come out of the shower, her long golden hair was still wet, and water would drip onto the carpet from time to time. The silk robe was brought by her, and it barely covered her knees. When she curled up in the chair, the robe was pulled inward, revealing her snow-white and crystal calves and slender bare feet, and the ten small and beautiful toes that bloomed like petals were even more eye-catching.

In addition to the old butler who came to report, there were also the four wizard apprentices who had just "taken refuge" in the room, two senior and two intermediate, but they all lowered their heads in the same way, not daring to peek at the maverick Alice.

Alice pulled the silk robe that slipped from her shoulders, covering the brightly colored magic tattoo. Whenever Alice saw this complex, delicate, three-dimensional mysterious tattoo that stretched across her entire upper body, she couldn't help but recall the horrible pain she felt when she was lying on the alchemy laboratory table and the burning rays scratched her skin bit by bit.

Grimm had tattoos, which Alice had known for a long time.

She even knew that the magic tattoo on Grimm was surprisingly effective.

In the past, the old version of the Flame Demon Transformation could double his physical fitness. Although it didn't last long, it was enough to make people envious. Now, with the integration of the knowledge of the runes from another world, the new version of the Flame Demon Transformation can even achieve a three-fold increase in strength. This... this is a bit too much!

The new version of the Flame Demon Transformation gave Grimm an extremely powerful Flame Demon body, and the transplanted Flame Demon Heart could provide a steady stream of flame energy. The combination of the two created a super terrifying Flame Maniac.

As the master's personal maid, Alice now knows Grimm's true strength like the back of her hand.

Therefore, when Grimm invited her to the secret room and asked her solemnly and mysteriously whether she was willing to accept such a magic tattoo, Alice's blood was about to be drained.

The answer is of course yes.

As a person with extraordinary power, she would not reject any knowledge and technology that could improve her ability, so Alice agreed without a doubt.

However, when she lay naked on the alchemy table to receive the baptism of magic tattoo, she couldn't help but regret it.

It was really painful!

Is this a magic tattoo? No, it's definitely not.

What's the difference between this and the magic patterns and witchcraft arrays engraved on magic tools by those alchemists? It's just that one is a cold and painless object, while she is a living person!

The scorching rays burned the flesh and blood, not too deep or shallow, not too big or too small, and the special alchemical materials were filled into the flesh and blood grooves as thin as silk threads in time. The materials obviously contain special substances that inhibit the regeneration of flesh and blood. Only in this way can the magic lines be prevented from failing due to too good physical condition and premature healing of wounds.

Moreover, this huge magic tattoo covers almost all areas of the upper body, and inevitably passes through some sensitive areas.

When the burning rays move in the sensitive areas little by little, Alice must use a strong will to control her flesh and blood skin from shrinking and trembling due to pain or numbness and itching. After all, the process of drawing magic patterns is rigorous and precise, and any deviation in the position of the pattern may cause the magic tattoo to fail.

So Alice must transform herself into a numb humanoid object when her mind is clear, only in this way can she avoid interfering with the drawing of the magic tattoo.

Therefore, the four hours of drawing the tattoo is simply an endless and terrible torture!

When Grim announced in her ear that the magic tattoo had been successfully completed, it took Alice even a quarter of an hour to get up from the alchemy table. In the end, it was Greem, the master, who knew how to carry her back to her home, and she rested for half a day before she regained full consciousness.

Greem specializes in the fire system, so he drew the Balrog transformation for himself, while Alice awakened the bloodline of the Witch of Destiny, and she is good at space talent, so Greem drew her...

And this is obviously tailor-made for her!

"In addition to the castle itself, the property of Wyrick Castle also includes a small manor, which is responsible for providing daily food and beverage items to the castle, including xxx slaves, xx buildings, and xx acres of annexed land...

In Vandil City, there is also a secret magic cabin, two blacksmith shops, two bakeries...

Inside the castle, there are xx buildings, xxx rooms, xxx servants, xx wine barrels in the wine cellar, and existing gold coins..."

Listening to the noble butler tirelessly listing all the castle properties, Alice finally interrupted him with an impatient wave.

"You can formulate these worldly wealth into words and submit one copy to me. What I want to know most now is, what kind of private treasure trove or collection did the dead Thacker wizard have?" Alice was as cute as a delicate porcelain doll. A smile appeared on the little face: "Have you already dealt with these things?"

The faces of the four surrendered apprentices showed a look of horror, and the noble butler even lowered his head.

"Don't dare, Lady Alice. Wizard Thacker has established his own collection room, laboratory and study room on the third floor of the castle. Outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering there. Even the former Miss Celia is strictly prohibited from entering unless she is summoned. "The aristocratic butler had an embarrassed smile on his face: "So we don't know anything about it!"

"Oh, is there anything else?" Alice's eyes lit up immediately.

To be honest, as a wizard apprentice, who is not curious about the witchcraft laboratory established by an experienced wizard? It must be fun to go there to explore and hunt for treasure!

Alice immediately rushed back behind the screen like a whirlwind. When she appeared in front of everyone again, she was wearing a tailored gray robe, a short and exquisite magic wand, a golden birdcage, a wisdom ring, and neat glass test tubes. The waist is lined up, and Alice's fair and delicate fingers are almost covered with witchcraft rings that shine with mysterious fluorescence.

Even the sharp deerskin boots under Alice's feet were faintly flashing with the light of witchcraft.

"Okay, okay, I'm ready!" Alice shouted excitedly: "Let's set out now to explore Wizard Thacker's laboratory..."

"Us?" The four wizard apprentices raised their heads in unison, with ominous signs emerging in their hearts.

"Of course it's us!" Alice clenched her fists and became impatient: "You are all here to protect me, of course you have to go in with me!"

The faces of the four wizard apprentices instantly turned pale.

…………

Wizard Thacker's laboratory is located on the third floor of the main building of the castle.

Following the wooden spiral staircase, Alice and the four apprentices successfully set foot in this unfamiliar territory.

What appeared before them was a quiet, deep and dark corridor.

Small candlesticks were placed at regular intervals on the walls on both sides of the corridor. Perhaps sensing the arrival of the breath of life, with a soft sound, the candle closest to them was silently lit. Then the candlesticks lit up one by one, gradually extending towards the depths of the corridor.

The candlelight was very dim and could only illuminate the half-meter area near the candlestick.

The dim yellow candlelight danced, adding a strange and mysterious flavor to the dark and deep corridor!

Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Magic chambers, witchcraft institutions, witchcraft guards, mysterious aberrations, terrifying witchcraft radiation...

Thinking of these creepy things, everyone couldn't help but feel their knees twisting. If Alice hadn't been watching them from behind, the four wizard apprentices would have dispersed and fled.

Exploring the laboratory of an established wizard? This is no safer than exploring some ancient ruins!

As an elite wizard, Wizard Thacker said that if his witchcraft laboratory did not set up any warning mechanism, no one would believe him if he deceived children.

This damn Alice was shouting wildly before setting off, but as soon as she set foot on the third floor, she naturally shrank behind the four wizard apprentices, looking confident and confident as she should.

"Will, you go in front!" Alice ordered, waving her little fist.

The guy named Will is just an intermediate apprentice, and is undoubtedly the weakest among the four. At this moment, when Alice called out his name, he looked back at the evasive eyes of his three companions. He knew that this matter was inevitable and that no one would intercede for him.

Will could only grit his teeth and take out a white finger bone, give himself a bone shield, and then cautiously step into the corridor. chapter;
