Early the next morning, Peter arrived at the first underground floor.
He arrived at the prison where Abel was held.
Upon seeing his arrival, Abel showed no signs of fear and instead smiled, saying, "So, are you here to execute me?"
"Yes, you will be sentenced to hanging!"
Peter replied directly.
He didn't bother hiding anything. He just wanted to see how this guy would react!
And it was almost as Peter had expected.
Abel, who was imprisoned, showed no nervousness or fear.
"Great, let's get on with it then!"
Abel appeared eager.
"Why are you so happy when you're about to die?"
Peter curiously asked on purpose.
"Don't you know? I believe in the God of Eternal Life, Blofield. In our view, death is not the end of life. We will eventually return to the embrace of Blofield and start a new life!"
Abel replied.
Peter had heard of the God of Eternal Life, Blofield, during his time studying related books in the library.
Although the name may sound normal, in fact, Blofield is a Chaos God!
Peter didn't know if Chaos Gods truly existed in the world, but this God of Eternal Life did have many followers.
Clearly, the current Abel was one of his followers.
Peter had no interest in listening to this person talk about his beliefs.
After opening the prison door, Peter directly pulled Abel out and said, "Well, then please return to the embrace of your god!"
After that, he walked outward, dragging Abel along.
Executing someone in the Wizard Tower required high security measures.
At this moment, several other wizards, Templar Knights, and others were already waiting outside.
When they saw Peter bringing Abel out, they immediately formed a formation to protect Peter and Abel.
With them, they boarded a carriage.
The carriage shook as they headed towards the execution ground.
Abel showed no signs of fear on his face.
He had a proud expression in his eyes, observing the people around him. "Look at you fools! Believing in some ridiculous God of Light! I will soon obtain eternal life in the embrace of Blofield!"
Peter listened to his words and looked at Abel, as if he was looking at a fool.
"What are you looking at? Whether you believe it or not, my companions will come to rescue me soon. They will get me out of here and take me away from this damn place!"
Abel was quite pleased with himself.
"Under our tight security, no one will be able to rescue you, not even members of your organization!"
Perhaps feeling annoyed by him, one of the Templar Knights replied impatiently.
"Then let's wait and see!"
Abel showed no fear.
Soon, they arrived at the execution ground.
There were many people gathered here, chatting and laughing, pointing at Abel as he was escorted in.
"A bunch of foolish commoners!"
Passing by these people, Abel's eyes were filled with disdain.
Peter found it amusing!
He was about to become a dead man, yet he had the audacity to mock others here?
However, Peter couldn't be bothered to say anything to him.
According to the rules, he escorted Abel to the central platform in the execution ground.
The gallows for hanging were already prepared!
But because Abel himself was a Dark Wizard, the gallows used to deal with them were unusual.
The ropes were infused with magic!
They could ensure that Abel would be killed and his soul would be obliterated at the same time!
"You fools, next, you will witness the moment when I obtain eternal life in the embrace of the God of Eternal Life!"
Abel showed no signs of the despair that a condemned criminal should have.
At this moment, he even shouted loudly.
Next, the executioners placed the noose around his neck and removed the wooden board beneath his feet.
Suddenly, Abel found himself hanging in the air.
He felt a sensation of suffocation rush over him!
"It's alright!"
"My companions will come to rescue me soon!"
Abel thought in his heart.
But...
The imagined scene he had didn't occur.
Instead, the feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger.
"Why..."
"Why is it like this?"
"Why haven't my companions come to save me?"
A sense of foreboding suddenly emerged in his heart.
"Could it be that they won't come to rescue me?"
Suddenly, this thought filled his mind!
"It's impossible!"
"They will definitely come to save me!"
"Leon has already passed on the message!"
"My companions will definitely come to rescue me!"
Countless thoughts surged through his mind.
However, despite comforting himself in his heart, Abel's mood became increasingly desperate!
Because the suffocating feeling was becoming stronger and stronger!
After a while, Abel began to struggle.
The intense feeling of suffocation forced him to struggle desperately, as if it would make him feel better.
Unfortunately, the more he struggled, the stronger the suffocating feeling became.
In the end, Abel died!
His eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness. And it looked like he still held some expectations.
He hoped that someone would come to rescue him.
But...
That was just his illusion.
He didn't even know until death why his comrades didn't come to save him.
Looking at the lifeless body dangling in the air, Peter felt that Abel was truly a very pitiful person!
...
Back at the Wizard Tower.
Peter rested for a while.
In the afternoon, he received a message from Alfred, asking to see him.
"Peter, after discussion, the higher-ups believe that we should not only patrol the first floor, but also the second underground floor!"
The words of the Inspector General made Peter furrow his brows slightly.
"The second underground floor?"
Peter asked in confusion.
Because he suddenly realized that since joining the patrol team, he had never been to the second underground floor before.
He had no idea what was down there.
But looking at the serious expression on the Inspector General's face, Peter could guess that whatever was imprisoned down there must be powerful!
That's why it needed to be taken seriously!
"But our strength may not be strong enough to patrol down there, right?"
Peter asked again.
"It's okay, we'll start with the second underground floor and gradually expand to the entire underground area!"
Alfred explained.
At the same time, the Inspector General asked Peter to arrange manpower, but the team heard that the second floor was ten times worse than the first floor, so no one dared to go down.
Seeing no one stepping in, Peter spoke up, "I'm willing to go down!"
