Chapter 21 Exploring the Ancient Pagoda
A squeaking sound came from my ears.
In a daze.
Lin Feng opened his eyes.
into the eye.
It was pitch black.
He felt something crawling on him.
After moving slightly.
The thing ran away quickly.
The squeaking sound faded away.
I don't know how long I lay there.
He felt that he had regained some strength and slowly stood up.
There was still pain in the shoulder, but it was not as intense as before.
He reached out and touched the previous wound and found that it had turned into a hard lump.
It's scabbed over.
Such a serious injury actually formed a scab.
Lin Feng pinched his thigh and felt pain.
Next came the feeling of surviving a disaster.
He's not dead.
But, where is this place?
"Elf of light, please listen to my call and illuminate the environment. Primary light magic - illumination!"
Recalling the light magic he had learned from the magic book, Lin Feng cast a spell.
As a ball of light appeared before my eyes, everything around me became clear.
Cold walls, charcoal-black wooden doors, rotten carpets, burnt-yellow fireplaces...
The memories of the battle with the white-robed priest gradually emerged before his eyes.
Before I completely passed out,
As expected, we arrived at this abandoned 7-story tower.
He had previously ruled out this option.
When I was on the verge of death, the only way out I could think of was here.
Fortunately, judging from the current situation, the other party has not caught up with us.
Lin Feng looked at the time and it was already daytime.
But there was not a single ray of sunlight coming into the house.
By now, Owen should have left Rogue Town.
That day, Owen stole two magic scrolls from Langton.
One is an intermediate fire magic scroll - Explosion.
The other is a short-distance directional teleportation scroll.
According to the plan, Owen was responsible for detonating the scroll during the granary activation and setting the granary on fire.
Due to the extremely important attributes of the granary, it is bound to attract the attention of most of the garrison.
And deflagration is the release of a large amount of flame in a short period of time.
It would take a lot of time to extinguish it.
This would give Irving enough time to escape.
As long as he runs to the town wall and uses the short-distance directional teleportation scroll, he can leave the city.
And when the fire in the granary attracted most of the attention, Lin Feng could rescue Leah and her daughter in the square.
But the priest in white was not fooled and stayed in the square.
As a last resort, Lin Feng used a magic prop - a substitute puppet.
Make the puppet change into his own appearance and lead the white-robed priest away.
Magic props also have a disadvantage, which is the time limit.
In less than a minute, the white-robed priest discovered the flaw.
Fortunately, Lin Feng had learned some magic spells beforehand, so he was able to catch the opponent off guard.
Although he was seriously injured in the end, he still escaped and was temporarily safe.
Thinking of Leah and her daughter, Lin Feng felt a little guilty.
In the end, he failed to save them, and they died at the hands of the white priests.
Especially Leah, she thought he was a good man from beginning to end.
The power of good people is sometimes not enough to save everyone.
After a night, those who were searching for him still hadn't caught up with him.
It seems that this tower is indeed ominous.
But, how to get out?
Lin Feng was in a dilemma for a moment.
It's definitely not okay to hide here forever.
Without food and water, he couldn't last long.
When the white-robed priests cannot find me, this place will gradually become the place they focus on.
When the time comes, as soon as I go out, I will definitely be caught.
It is not advisable to stay here for long.
Sniffed the air.
It didn't have the pungent smell that Owen had described, but more like the smell of old wood decaying over the years.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak."
There were a few more animal calls.
This time, through the light, Lin Feng could clearly see the thing making the sound in front of him.
It was a mouse the size of a palm.
This mouse is quite brave.
Just standing 3 meters away.
He raised his upper limbs and looked him in the eye.
The mouse lowered its front legs again and turned around.
After walking forward a few steps, he turned around, raised his front legs, and stared at Lin Feng.
Only then did Lin Feng notice something strange.
This mouse doesn't seem to be a timid mouse.
It looks more like a smart sheepdog showing off in front of its owner.
"Are you talking to me?"
"Squeak!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
The mouse repeated the action again.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Squeak!"
The mouse actually nodded.
It put down its front legs again and ran in one direction.
This time, it didn't stop.
Lin Feng followed.
The mouse did not stay on the first floor, but took Lin Feng to the stairs leading to the second floor.
Under the lighting magic, Lin Feng walked up the spiral staircase.
Simultaneously.
I was also looking at this ancient building that made people afraid to approach.
There are many photo frames hanging on both sides of the stairs.
The photo inside the frame has disappeared.
I don't know if it's because time has passed and the color has faded away.
A man and a mouse came to the second floor.
The second floor is like a library, with many bookshelves.
There was no book on the bookshelf, which was a little strange.
Owen said that the tower had experienced a fire a hundred years ago, so everything inside should have been burned to ashes.
But the bookshelf still looks solid and doesn't look like it has been burned.
Not only that.
From the first floor to the second floor, it doesn't look like a building that has experienced a fire.
At most, it just looks a little dilapidated because it has been there for too long.
The empty bookshelves can be seen to the end at a glance.
The mouse squeaked and called Lin Feng twice, then crawled towards the third floor.
The wooden floorboards on the third floor creaked.
Here, I can smell some pungent smell.
There are some glassware and metal supplies here, as well as an operating table.
It looks like a laboratory, or an operating room.
Lin Feng walked around the third floor twice and opened several wooden boxes.
There's nothing good in the wooden box.
They are utensils of various shapes, some made of metal and some made of glass.
I don't know what to use it for.
Is there science in the magical world?
The "squeak" call came again from the front.
The mouse urged Lin Feng to continue going up.
Arrived at the 4th floor.
What comes into view are six or seven desks.
In front of the desk, there is a big blackboard.
This looks like a classroom, and you can vaguely see traces of carvings on the table and blackboard.
Could it be that this ancient tower was once a school?
There is a library and a laboratory, just like a school.
But this school is a little too small.
The area of the first floor is about 100 square meters.
As you go up, the area becomes smaller and smaller.
The 4th floor is only about 60 square meters.
If it is a school, it is definitely not a public one.
Most of them are private training institutions.
"Squeak squeak!"
The sound of a rat's rapid movements was heard on the 4th floor, and Lin Feng looked towards it.
The mouse stopped in front of the stairs leading to the 5th floor and kept jumping.
This is different from the previous behavior.
The first few times, the rats ran up the stairs in a flash.
And this time.
It just jumped around in place, becoming even more anxious.
"I'm coming!"
Lin Feng came to the stairs leading to the fifth floor and stepped forward.
At this time.
A huge force rushed towards him and knocked him away.
