But although he was thinking about things, he was also clear that the piece of outer wall he had touched had no magical arrays on it.
"Could it be that this wizard tower has a teleportation chanism?" But he quickly negated his own guess.
Because—it was expensive!
Even if they were to use one, it would only be used on the First and Second Wizard Towers, not on a rear tower like this.
Saul was currently standing in a dim stairwell. There were no lights in the stairs, only the room at the very bottom emitting weak light.
At this ti, he heard soone coming down from upstairs and imdiately stepped back, but with just this movent, he suddenly discovered that half his body had actually lted into the wall.
"This?" Saul stood still and didn't move again until the person on the stairs ca down.
The person coming down was exactly the second-rank wizard Saul had just been tracking.
But he acted as if he couldn't see Saul at all and walked directly past him.
"Indeed, when I moved just now I discovered that what moved was consciousness, not the body. So what I'm seeing now—could it be the internal scenes of this wizard tower?"
This wizard tower clearly also had a wizard's corpse standing within it, and it was similarly showing Saul everything "it" had seen.
"Forget it, let follow and see first." Saul erged from the wall and brazenly followed the second-rank wizard down to the bottom floor.
"Delen, why did you suddenly co over?"
There were five more people in the bottom floor room.
Four second-ranks, and even one third-rank wizard.
Such a high-level configuration appeared in a remote, unmanned wizard tower?
There was definitely a secret.
Saul moved closer as if he had always been a part of this place.
"We just received news that the monster that killed Abby is very likely Robin!" Delen had held it in the whole way and only showed a trace of panic in front of his own people.
The third-rank wizard across from him widened his eyes, "Robin? How is that possible? Didn't Maria personally kill him back then? Did Maria not act?"
Delen quickly said, "Impossible, Lord Benjamin. I was also present at the ti. I personally watched Lady Maria burn Robin's corpse, burning it until only half the body remained. Only after confirming he was thoroughly dead did she throw him into the sea."
Benjamin slowly narrowed his eyes, "Only half the body? Upper half or lower half?"
"Even the head was burned away, so it must have been..." Delen opened his mouth wide, and only after several seconds continued his words, "...the lower half."
"So what killed Robin was actually a tail?" Benjamin paced in place with his hands behind his back, his face showing visible unease.
Even the third-rank wizard was uneasy, and the other second-rank wizards were even more panicked, showing traces of terror.
Benjamin finally stopped pacing and took a deep breath, "The real monster is the tail—the tail we modified, growing from the tailbone!"
He slapped a tal experint table, and the entire surface was imdiately destroyed. Glass instrunts and tal supports fell to the ground with a clatter, shattering into pieces.
Benjamin looked at the ss on the ground, then suddenly raised his head, "Go bring all the tails over."
Delen imdiately took out a triangular accessory from his chest, sticking his finger directly into the accessory's interior. Then a brass box suddenly appeared in front of Delen.
The brass box was also wrapped in a sheepskin cover. The sheepskin was carved with dense miniaturized magical arrays.
All sealing arrays.
After Delen took out the brass box, he imdiately said, "Lord Benjamin, Lord Maria asked to bring these tails over..."
Benjamin nodded with satisfaction, casually sweeping the fragnts on the ground to a corner and unscrewing his right ear in a circle.
The inner ear revealed a tal carving knife, also covered with dense magical arrays.
Then, as he crouched down and was about to open the box, he heard Delen's next words. For more chapters visit novel·fıre·net
"...asking you to completely destroy them all."
Benjamin's movents imdiately stopped. He raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief, "Has Maria gone mad? She actually asked to destroy the tails?"
Delen was imdiately shocked back two steps by the other party's intimidation, but he still tried to dissuade with difficulty, "Lord Benjamin, these tails have already exceeded our control. The mature form even killed Lord Lawrence."
Benjamin's hand that was about to touch the brass box slightly shrank back, but after hesitating for a mont, he still took the carving knife in his hand and forcefully cut open the sheepskin on the brass box.
"So what if the mature form killed Lawrence?"
The sheepskin lted like butter eting fire tongs, dripping to the ground.
"Do you know how many materials and magic crystals we spent to make such a small box of tailbones?"
Without the sheepskin's restraint, the brass box suddenly shook violently once, then again.
Delen and the other second-rank wizards imdiately retreated, leaving the two-ter range around the brass box.
Only Benjamin, being third-rank, didn't retreat. He even opened the box's lid.
A box full of gray bones appeared before his eyes.
These gray bones were segnt by segnt, from thick to thin, only as long as a human index finger. Although they had no tendons and muscles connecting them, they could desperately jump around in the brass box, making the entire box ring with "bang bang" sounds.
The mont Benjamin opened the box, several tails stacked on top imdiately jumped out of the brass box, seemingly wanting to escape.
However, a pair of golden wings instantly grew from Benjamin's back, directly sweeping all the gray bones that had escaped the box back in.
Looking carefully, those golden wings weren't made of feathers at all, but were giant wings composed of tal palms of varying lengths.
The palm roots were all connected together, while each palm could also move flexibly within a limited range independently.
It was these independently acting palms that caught the escaping tails back.
Despite these tails desperately trying to escape, Benjamin had no intention of closing the box. His heart and eyes were full of the tails in the box, passionate and crazed.
"Don't you understand? How amazing are tailbones that can survive independently on the seabed for long periods?"
Seeing this scene, Delen's face looked sowhat ugly. Wizard Benjamin clearly had no intention of following Wizard Maria's instructions to destroy these tails.
Delen was, after all, only a second-rank wizard. He knew that if he showed signs of reporting to Wizard Maria at this ti, he would definitely be silenced.
So although he didn't agree with Wizard Benjamin's philosophy, he didn't rashly speak out in opposition.
But Delen hadn't thought that even so, he still couldn't escape.
Benjamin, who was pressing down the tails, suddenly raised his head and looked at Delen, "Do you know why Robin's tail attacked Lawrence?"
Delen's heart raced wildly under the other party's eerie gaze. He wanted to run but didn't dare turn his back on Benjamin.
"I, I don't know." His voice trembled sowhat.
Benjamin's mouth slowly curved up, "Because it needs fresh flesh and blood to beco a real tail, not just pure tailbone."
"Do you hear it?"
"They're crying out in hunger!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wings composed of palms surged again, grabbing toward the terrified Delen.
To prevent Delen from telling Maria about what happened here, Benjamin actually struck first, wanting to tear Delen apart to feed the tailbones in the box!
At this critical mont, more than ten gray semi-transparent tentacles suddenly wrapped around Delen from behind and yanked him backward, allowing Delen to escape the attack range of the palm wings.
"Who?!" Benjamin shouted in surprise and gave the four second-rank wizards behind him a look.
But before his eyeballs could turn back, a much thicker gray tentacle with a diater of one ter suddenly slapped his face.
A dignified third-rank wizard was actually slapped and sent flying to the opposite wall, even knocking down the four second-rank wizards behind him.
Everything happened too fast—these high-rank wizards actually fell like bowling pins!
Benjamin suffered the worst. When he angrily turned his head back, the right half of his face had already caved in deeply, his skin and flesh torn, revealing the golden bones inside.
"It's you!"
Despite half his face being twisted, Benjamin still clearly saw who had attacked him.
It was Saul!
