Chapter 747 Outbreak
"So, every once in a while, a group of people will be transferred away to do magic experiments?" After chatting a few times, Zhou Xiaobo learned a lot of useful news from Luo Ke and several other chefs.
However, as a help cook, I rarely even leave the third and fourth basement floors of the mage tower on weekdays. I work on the third basement floor and live on the fourth basement floor. Not to mention that life is very difficult, and entertainment activities are also quite limited, which is more important. What's more, there are sorcerers' eyes everywhere in the kitchen on the third basement floor. Those master sorcerers regard their lives as extremely precious, so they naturally have to monitor the things at the entrance in real time.
Of course, this so-called real-time monitoring is actually just a gimmick. Although the mage's eyes have been maintained, those magicians may not have the leisure to keep watching, but it is enough to scare the chefs and helpers in the kitchen.
And Zhou Xiaobo, as a helper cook, lived in the fourth underground floor below the kitchen in the tower of Aphra.
The entire Aphra Mage Tower is like two pyramids connected bottom to bottom. The upper and lower floors are the largest, and then decrease in turn.
That is to say, the fourth basement floor of the Aphra Wizard Tower is actually smaller than the third basement floor, but it has to accommodate many people. At the same time, it separates the chef from the helper, and the helper is naturally Chase Shop.
This kind of living condition is even worse than that of the worst civilians in Morey Castle, let alone compared with the nobles.
It would be fine if it only stopped there, but in fact, these slaves sold to the Aphra Mage Tower are still materials for magic experiments. Once there is a need, a batch will be drawn out, and most of them will be tested. Some of them will die, and some will be disabled and thrown away. In the end, only a small part will survive without any major problems, but this part of the lucky ones will not be lucky. It was used again and again as a test material until it died or was disabled before being thrown out.
The world of magicians is so ruthless.
Zhou Xiaobo also wanted to ask Luo Ke and others if they knew about his father's situation, but he didn't ask in the end.
After all, this place is in the Mage Tower, and it is someone else's territory. Who knows what monitoring methods are there. Once he tells his father's name, with the arrogance of the Aphra Mage Tower, maybe he will bring it to his father. Trouble, if he's still alive.
Working in the kitchen of the Aphra Mage Tower for several days, Zhou Xiaobo never saw the magician who brought him in again, as if the other party had completely forgotten him.
However, Zhou Xiaobo knew that no strong person could ignore the corpse of a ninth-level monster, not to mention that the other party was just a magician whose strength was not top-notch, and he couldn't kill a ninth-level monster by himself, so he should pay more attention to it. , it is impossible to forget himself who gave him a "big gift", so he is very patient.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Xiaobo has also inquired about some news about the magic experiments in the Aphra Mage Tower in the past few days. After the return of , ore, etc., the magic test is done more frequently, and then it will be much less, and there is even a situation where there is no magic test for two or three months.
Although the various mage towers can communicate with each other, the value of some materials required for magic experiments is very low, and a lot can be collected in a casual trip. There is no need to trade through the teleportation array, which is not only expensive, but also The important thing is that other mage towers may know their research direction, which is not good.
So for those magical materials that are readily available,
Almost all the mage towers are collected nearby, and at the same time, after collecting more, they will not sell them. After all, those things are not worth much, and they are really not suitable for trading.
But at this time, Zhou Xiaobo didn't care about these things. After he learned that there would be no magic experiments in the near future, he was completely relieved.
It's just that this situation can't last for too long, otherwise he might be investigated by the other party, and he will be at an absolute disadvantage, so Zhou Xiaobo has already made a decision, and he will stick to it for two more days at the most. If there is still no movement, he will arrange for the monsters under his command to attack the mage tower and force Aphra Magister out, and then it will be simple.
Fortunately, Zhou Xiaobo didn't wait until the time when he planned to explode. The magician came to the third basement level of the mage tower, found Zhou Xiaobo who was busy there, and brought him up.
"When I see Master Aphra Magister later, you must pay attention and don't talk nonsense!"
"yes!"
Hearing Zhou Xiaobo's answer, the magician nodded in satisfaction.
Regarding this, Zhou Xiaobo didn't have the slightest opinion. What the other party said was nothing more than the corpse of the ninth-level monster. He didn't care, so he directly agreed to let the other party feel at ease.
After the two of them went up the stairs to the basement floor, they took the teleportation array to the fifth floor of the mage tower, which should be the residence of Magister Aphra.
It is worth mentioning that in the Mage Tower, the magician who is the highest leader often lives in no fixed place. Well, specifically, his living location will constantly change to avoid being beheaded by the enemy. Although the defense of the Mage Tower It is very strict, but there will be some accidents. It can be said that it is a very convenient and effective method to avoid risks by changing the number of residence floors, and it is also commonly used in many mage towers.
This time, Magister Aphra lived temporarily on the fifth floor above ground.
"Go in, I'll wait for you outside the door, don't move things when you go in, don't run around when you come out, just follow me."
After walking out of the teleportation circle, he walked some distance before arriving at the door of Magister Aphra. The magician glared at Zhou Xiaobo fiercely, and finally warned him in a low voice.
"yes!"
Zhou Xiaobo responded quickly, opened the door and walked in.
"..."
Entering the room, Zhou Xiaobo found that it was not a small suite, in which there were many magical props, most of which were of high value. In addition, there were some daily necessities, especially clothing, which occupied a considerable part of the space. , it can be seen that Magister Aphra should be a beautiful woman.
Seeing that there was no one in the lobby of the suite, Zhou Xiaobo was not in a hurry, he just turned around and closed the door, and then stood at the place where he entered the door, motionless, waiting for the other party to come out.
This wait is two or three hours.
In the end, Zhou Xiaobo didn't wait until Magister Aphra came out from the room, but instead found that the other party appeared directly on a teleportation array in the hall.
"Honorable Master Aphra Magister, I am a small person from the Santa Cruz Empire. You can call me Hank. I have taken the liberty to visit you this time to redeem a relative. Please help me For the sake of my filial piety, we can be reunited!" Zhou Xiaobo said it sincerely, and he was willing to pay a huge price to save his father from the bottom of his heart, so to speak, let the other party slaughter him.
"What's the name of that relative of yours?" Magister Afra cast a cold glance at Zhou Xiaobo and asked indifferently.
"His name is Cotton, Cotton Morey."
"Sorry, he's dead, you go back first!"
"What?" Hearing these words and the perfunctory tone, Zhou Xiaobo couldn't help being a little surprised.
"Hurry up, or don't blame me for being rude!" However, Magister Aphra seemed to have exhausted all her patience, and even waved her hand to drive away.
"What about his corpse? Also, can this magic collar around my neck be opened for me?"
"The corpse is gone! If you want to remove the magic collar, you can take it off, it has worked for me for thirty years..."
"It seems that there is nothing to discuss!" Zhou Xiaobo couldn't help feeling a little lost when he heard Magister Aphra's words.
"What?"
"Nothing... devour!"
In the next moment, the glamorous and glamorous Magister Aphra, who completely fit Zhou Xiaobo's image of an elf but thought he was superior and didn't put others in his eyes, disappeared in an instant.
