Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter V Chapter 179

When the stone door moved and showed what was behind it.

How surprising. As Alice frowned, her eyes widened and then stared intently at what was inside the room. He tightened his fist, his anger peaking in just an instant.

What he saw before his eyes was not much different from what happened at the temple last year when he saved Liliana. Inside the room was a Mana crystal stone that was almost a quarter of the room in size.

"Oh.I didn't expect it to turn out that you could beat my doll. Well, besides, it's just a prototype doll from all my creations."

A man with a slightly thin body smiled with a relaxed face and his voice sounded as if it was humbling, he waved his hand slightly welcoming Alice's arrival.

His face looked pale with eye bags that were quite clear black visible from behind his glasses. His expression was not like a healthy person. Looking around, he looks like a madman. Yeah, crazy about the research he's doing.

The man stood before Alice. Either he's a scientist or he's crazy. To him, the man was a monster encased in human skin.

He really will meet his end soon.

"What's wrong? Why are you quiet." The man turned to approach his desk, hinting at Alice with his hand to sit on the chair beside him. Or rather a chair with a pile of chains and handcuffs attached to the armrests and legs.

Alice ignored the man's chatter. He wanted to see the cruel scene that was happening before him.

What Alice saw was probably foreign to others, but not to her. He was well acquainted with the glass tubes and wires connected to the Mana crystal. That person who had been pacing around in front of him, was the only one who carried out that vile experiment.

That guy was a crazy researcher.

Two female elves and two male elves. They are trapped in glass tubes containing a special liquid with air hoses attached to their noses and mouths. Their expanding and slowly deflating breasts indicated that they were still alive but the light of life from the look of their eyes had vanished.

Alice had no idea how long they had been in there. Alice could feel that their life force was weakening due to their Mana being continuously drained.

I don't know how many times Alice has seen those eyes.

She's fed up.

So much was happening in this world without her knowing it before. His life as a noble was nothing more than a frog in a well. He enjoys his days with pride without knowing that Aria is in a mess. King Solus and his family, Nyx, Cecillion, Erebos and possibly the Arachmeian Empire...

Alice turned her face for a moment.

"Beautiful girl, what do you see? Are you interested in my research. Hehe~ isn't this the first time you've seen such a masterpiece. You could say this is the only one in the world. So be happy because you can see it before....YOU'RE DEAD!"

Two other humanoid puppets appeared suddenly from the ceiling. They jumped down on Alice's head. The two carried a large chain and they managed to wrap around Alice's body with that chain.

Alice glanced, looking at the two puppets that were beside her. He tried to cast magic but it seemed like something was blocking the Mana energy in his body.

The crazy man laughed widely while covering his face. "Stupid! Wh why? You must be surprised not because you can't use your Mana?"

The man walked up to Alice until they were a step away. He snorted loudly then smirked in satisfaction. "Let me explain. I've been watching you when you fought my puppet before. I've measured your strength level. Well~ Maybe you're the equivalent of a level 4 or 5 mage. That's why I prepared this chain. This chain has anti Mana properties. They would mess up the Mana waves in one's body so that they could not control it to create magic. You know, this thing can even hold a level 7 mage." Evidently.

The man brought his face closer as he played the chain in his hand.

Alice took her breath. The man was too confident. As his eyes turned, both sides of his lips slightly raised.

Alice clenched her teeth and looked at the man angrily then she shouted. "Damn it! Untie me. You are! Let me go or I'll kill you!"

"Kill me? Funnier. Are you not aware of your current situation?"

He lifted his head and looked at the two puppets. The man gave instructions to his two puppets with a slight movement of his hand.

The two puppets then pulled the chains they held and made Alice moan in pain. "You! B**ngan! Argh!"

The man narrowed his eyes, he lowered his head again and brought his face closer to Alice.

"I'm curious. Even if you're angry, but your voice still sounds beautiful in my ears. I want to see what it looks like under this hood and this cloth."

He extended his hand slowly to Alice's face.

"Stop! Don't do that! You are! Nah! Waitaminute! Waitaminute! Please Wait!" Alice shouted while struggling however and finally she pleaded with the man.

Just a little more, the man only needed to pull the cloth in his hand and he would see what kind of figure was behind the cloth.

Alice's two eyes quivered in fear, she looked at him with a pity and a slight glaze.

"You can do anything but. bi-can you tell me something. I know, I've lost. So, can you answer my question before you do." His voice sounds so calm.

The man was convinced that the mysterious girl had given up and lost her fighting spirit. Seeing his hand and his shrinking voice, the man nodded in agreement to Alice's request.

He had not expected to defeat such a powerful magician so easily. The man proudly smiled widely.

His knowledge is the best. Her thought.

"alright. I'm not interested in your body anyway. I have a feeling that you're a human being. I don't know what their relationship was until I came here. But, look there!" The man pointed at the elven woman who was in the tube firmly. "They are elves who have a beauty like a Goddess. If they don't interest me, then what about ugly humans like you." He nodded and turned a little away.

Alice tried to hold back her anger.

He nodded while saying. "You're right. Then can you answer my question?"

"certain. You will soon be mine anyway. More precisely my research." The man then laughed out loud.

He's really not sane.

"I have three questions. I need you to answer that. First of all..., is it true that you are a person named Azeer?"

The man shook his head. "I'm not Azeer. My name is Namtar. A handsome and greatest scientist of all time in Aria." The man proudly proclaimed himself.

Alice looked at him. Other than being crazy, is she not able to mirror?

"I've answered one of your questions. Continue, sweet lady." Sweet words of the man.

Although the call sounds soft but it makes the feathers stand up. If he said he wasn't pretending he might have slapped him in the face and hit the ground.

"alright. Then I want to know about Azeer. Who and where is he?"

"Hm... Didn't you just ask two questions. That means your question is over, doesn't it?"

Alice clucking. It felt like he really wanted to strangle the man. "Take it it's just one. I'm asking about the same person anyway."

"You're right. Alright. Azeer was a government official who had trade relations with the elves. He was the one who had established that cooperation. And for his existence, he's actually dead." Said the man.

Alice surprised. He didn't expect that.

Alice recalled the frightened expression of the bandit chief when her sword was on her neck. He was sure that the bandit chief was not lying to him. "It's becoming ambiguous. Who, then, is the person who actually uses this Azeer name?" His mind.

"Oi miss. What are you thinking. Now the last question. Hurry up, I can't wait to research you." The man chuckled at Alice.

"I wonder if there's someone behind your research?"

The man was silent for a moment. He turned around and glanced at Alice sharply from the side of his eyes.

The one who helped him...

"Nothing." His reply was short as he shook his head once.

He brought his face closer to Alice. "Because I've answered all your questions. In that case, let me see what kind of beauty is behind this cloth." He stretched out his hand slowly. Enthusiastic feelings were seen in his eyes. He really couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer.

But before his fingers managed to touch the cloth, the two puppets were crushed into pieces.

The man was shocked. He doesn't know what's going on. He stood glued to look at the two puppets that fell to the ground.

"W-what happened? It's..." The man immediately looked at Alice when he heard a small laugh from the mouth of the woman in front of him.

He saw the woman's eyes change. Not the same as before who was resigned and frightened. Those eyes were shining with confidence looking at him with anger.

He had just realized that the woman in front of him was actually hiding her strength. He had actually been played by her since then.

He also thought of escaping. He still has another secret door. Dear thousand dear, his legs reacted too late before Alice finally hit his stomach until he fell to his knees.

"Gahhak! Uhuk!" One punch and he spewed blood from his mouth.

"I was planning to give you a short death. But come to think of it. I think I got an interesting idea."

The man raised his head.

"I'll make you feel that his name is alive and reluctant to die."

Although the woman was wearing a cloth to cover part of her face, she could tell that the woman before her was smiling horribly.

A cold sweat ran down his temples. His neck suddenly felt cold.

He shook his head, he tried to get up but Alice held him back by releasing her Qi energy.

His body hit the ground hard. He could feel that several organs and nerves in his body were damaged in a short time.

His breathing became heavier.

It's screwed! This time he was really finished. He tried to scream but it seemed like the woman was doing something to him so he lost his voice.

He could only scream in his head.
