Chapter 188 The Tomb, Let's Make Our Move
As Greer's voice rang out, the silhouette of a shadow gradually became clearer before Loen's eyes amidst the mist.
A few steps later, the shadow was fully revealed.
It is a small domed house.
It was really, really small, only about the height of a person. At first glance, it looked like the person inside the house would have to be half-squatting.
It doesn't look like a house built by a normal person at all.
A few steps further in, as they got closer to the small house, the wizard Grell, who had been leading the way, suddenly vanished from Loon's sight.
Luo Ang was startled at first, and then noticed that there was a downward-facing hole in the wall of the small house.
Below the cave entrance, the faint glow of lava was reflected.
"Friend, over here," Wizard Grell waved from below.
After sensing the wind blowing up from below the cave entrance, confirming that it wasn't a dead end, Luo Ang jumped down.
Only then did Loon realize the true nature of the wizard Grell's lair.
This is a large and ancient tomb.
The tomb was buried underground, and a large part of it had been pierced by soil and rocks and melted by lava. The small dome was just the exposed top of the tomb.
The entire underground tomb remains in a "sunken" state, leaning towards a deep collapse—at first glance, some statues and stone tablets that have not yet collapsed, as well as some walls, all lean in the same direction.
As far as the eye can see, lava flows within the tomb.
Some unknown plant roots spread directly in, enveloping some stone coffins, then turned back and went deeper in another direction to draw nutrients from the earth.
In this unique environment, the plant, which resembles both vines and roots, is permeated with subtle traces of mystery. When you concentrate on it, you can almost hear the rhythm of its growth and feel the ripples caused by its influence on the environment.
In itself, this place is infinitely better than Chashanling.
After passing through several more passageways, they arrived at the depths of the tomb, where "Greeer imprisoned the mine slaves," and the place appeared before Loon's eyes.
A row of small tomb chambers was divided into several individual rooms, and in each room, a somewhat dazed wizard was locked up.
These wizards had a nail-like object on their foreheads, which seemed to be driven directly into their brains.
Seeing all this, Luo Ang's eye twitched involuntarily.
Wizards are dangerous beings—imprisoning a wizard, even a first-class wizard apprentice, is no easy task.
After learning about the existence of the unique mining slaves in the central kingdoms, Loen had a persistent question.
How exactly did those wizards who captured the miners control them, making them obediently use their mental power to condense magic stone fragments without allowing them to rebel?
It's important to know that Luo Ang wasn't even a miner in the Prosperity Beacon yet, but after gaining power, he still chose to resist in the most intense way and fight his way out of that place.
Are those captured miners just going to accept their fate like this?
Now, Luo Ang's doubts were immediately answered.
Wizards are a unique existence, with a semi-digital body, and are susceptible to purely physical damage and physical imprisonment, making them difficult to target.
However, this does not mean that physical damage is completely ineffective against wizards.
A large brain is one of the wizard's weaknesses.
Especially at the level of wizard apprentices, even wizards who follow the soul path and treat their bodies as consumables are still limited by their brains.
With a brain, wizards can think, their souls have a place to reside, and their spiritual power has a center.
This is how wizards control miners to make them obey.
Piercing a wizard's brain with an iron nail and destroying a part of it will not harm the wizard's life, but it can affect the wizard's thinking and make the wizard stupid.
The more damage the nails cause, the more foolish the wizard becomes, and the simpler his thoughts become.
Ultimately, it's no different from being mentally challenged.
Then, mental energy and pain are used to stimulate those mentally challenged wizards—ultimately, these mentally challenged wizards will learn "how to use mental energy to condense magic stone fragments" under the influence of pain.
At this point, the miner can be considered tamed.
At this point, even if they occasionally escape due to lax supervision, those who escape are usually the kind of crazy sorcerers from folk tales, and they can easily be caught again.
After confirming the situation of these mine slaves, Loon's eye twitched involuntarily.
His original plan was to rescue all these miners and give them their freedom.
However, given the current situation, these tamed miners have all been turned into mentally retarded individuals.
Rescuing them is easy—but what happens after they're rescued?
How to deal with a group of mentally challenged and insane wizards?
There's simply no way to fix it!
"Are the wizarding practices in these central kingdoms so vicious that they artificially create mentally challenged wizards?" Loen thought with a chill.
In his original understanding, those black wizards who did not engage in production, focused on plunder, and wantonly destroyed the communication environment were already among the most vicious types of wizards.
In his view, no matter how evil a normal wizard is, he can't be as evil as a dark wizard.
But now it seems that compared to these slave wizards, even the black wizards who only know how to plunder have become handsome.
"Under these circumstances, is rescuing them really saving them?" Luo Ang pondered to himself, somewhat conflicted.
But he quickly came to his senses.
My concerns are really unnecessary.
These mentally challenged wizards are not mentally challenged because they were born that way.
Rather, it's because their brains were damaged, and the nails that damaged their brains are still stuck inside, making it difficult for their brains to recover.
If these iron nails were removed, given the wizards' semi-digital regenerative abilities, their brains would recover in no time—and while their intelligence might not be fully restored, they certainly wouldn't be in their current mentally challenged state, unable to take care of themselves.
Just as Loon was pondering, the two wizards in front of and behind him seized the opportunity and attacked simultaneously.
As is customary, a handful of sleep powder was used first, mixed with some life powder, so that the wizard's body could actively absorb the medicinal power of the powder. Then, two different spells, or rather spell-like spells, swept towards Loon.
In that mysterious instant when the waves were stirred, Luo Ang rolled to the side without hesitation and cast the spell to hide in the mist. In an instant, he disappeared into the thin fog.
Then, a handful of seeds were scattered in front of the two wizards.
These two wizards seemed to have seen this type of vine-entwining spell before, and they were very adept at dealing with it.
