Fortunately, Jeremy and the others did not drop the ball this time. They took out new force field prison wands and cast the spell again, trapping the remaining four Blacksteel Golems.
When they saw the four Blacksteel Golems crash into the invisible wall again, everyone could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
The force field prison could last for two hours. Such a long time was enough for Wizard Eugene to deal with them one by one.
Wizard Eugene built a portal in the plaza that led to the sealing room of his Wizard Tower.
Then, he removed the magic prison one by one and used the giant hand of energy formed by Bigby's Crushing Palm to grab the Blacksteel Golems one by one and throw them into the portal.
When they saw the last Blacksteel Golem being sent into the portal, the people on the scene almost cheered.
Great Wizard Eugene also felt a long-lost excitement.
This time, not to mention the wealth and territory promised by the Benedict Family, just these ten Blacksteel Golems were worth more than the price.
The Blacksteel Golems also completely destroyed Great Wizard Eugene's doubts about the power of the ancient arcanists.
As time passed, the number of modern mages who had seen the ruins of the Arcane Era became fewer and fewer, and their reverence for the arcanists became less and less.
Before this, Eugene had only learned about the arcanists and the Arcane Era from literature. Like the other mages of this era, he had a strong skepticism about the power of the arcanists.
However, these ten Blacksteel Golems completely destroyed his doubts. These Golems from the Arcane Era were far more terrifying than any other Blacksteel Golems he had ever seen. They almost went against Eugene's understanding of Blacksteel Golems.
Eugene could not help but feel excited at the thought of being able to study these Golems when he returned, and perhaps even be able to replicate them.
Everyone rested for a while and carefully walked into the first floor of the Arcane Tower.
If the upper floor of the Arcane Tower had not been destroyed and the Tower Genie was still here, the guards on the upper floor should have been continuously teleported down after the first floor's defensive forces were destroyed. The battle would have continued outside the Arcane Tower, and the enemy would never be allowed to enter the Arcane Tower until they were at their wit's end.
However, this half of the Arcane Tower that had lost its Tower Genie was unable to react to this and allowed these people to walk into the first floor of the Arcane Tower.
This was a very spacious hall, much larger than the arcane tower they had seen from the outside.
Although the colors had faded due to the passage of time, one could still see that this hall had once been very lavishly decorated. Complicated and gorgeous chandeliers, thick and soft carpets, sculptures and oil paintings on the surrounding walls …
The hall looked more like a duke's banquet hall than the main hall of an arcane tower.
There were more than a dozen closed doors on the walls of the hall.
Great Wizard Eugene could easily see that these doors were locked by a secret method.
Perhaps it was because these doors were not important, so the level of these secret locks was not high. They looked like they were set up by low-level Mages.
Master Eugene easily opened the lock.
They discovered that behind these doors, there were kitchens, food warehouses, wine storage rooms, dormitories for apprentices and low-level mages, guest rooms, and small entertainment rooms.
None of them had much value.
They found two teleportation arrays in the doors on the right and left of the hall.
Great Wizard Eugene summoned a cheap wooden construct from his mansion and placed it on the teleportation array in the room on the left. He then activated the array.
The so-called construct was somewhat similar to a robot. It was created and assembled by mages using alchemy. It was usually humanoid in appearance, but there were also beast-shaped and other shapes. The core of the construct was the soul of an intelligent being. Mages would capture the soul and process it with magic before injecting it into the construct as the intelligence core of the construct. They would then awaken and control the construct through a magic ritual.
Constructs that were activated this way had low intelligence and could only carry out simple commands.
If one wanted to obtain a high intelligence construct, they would need to use the level nine ritual of Construct Awakening to awaken the construct. Only then would they obtain a construct with intelligence not lower than a human.
However, this level nine ritual was very troublesome and expensive. It was usually used to activate the Tower Genie of some Wizard Towers.
When mages created constructs, they could bestow certain casting abilities to them. Of course, golems were an exception.
Golems were a special type of construct. These constructs were enchanted with an anti-magic field and were immune to magic. Naturally, they would not be able to cast any magic.
The wooden construct disappeared from the array. There was no message. It did not follow his order to record the situation on the other side and then teleport back.
The great wizard used the same method to try the teleportation array on the other side.
This time, the wooden construct was quickly teleported back and brought back the scene on the other side of the teleportation array.
On the other side of the teleportation array was the binding room. However, the binding room seemed to have stopped working.
After confirming many times that there was no danger on the other side of the teleportation array on the right side of the hall, Great Wizard Eugene tried to teleport two warriors over.
The warriors were quickly teleported back. They confirmed once again that the other side was very safe.
The next thing that happened was very smooth. Wizard Eugene first teleported a few of the strongest warriors over and then personally teleported over.
The binding room was a very empty and dark hall. The hall did not seem to be anything special. However, in the great wizard's vision, the entire hall, including the floor and the ceiling, was covered with mysterious and complicated magic circuit patterns.
However, these patterns were dim. It was obvious that they had stopped working long ago.
After confirming that it was safe, the great wizard used the same method to verify that the next floor was also safe.
They successfully reached their main target this time, the second underground floor where the negative energy pool was located.
Wizard Eugene was not surprised that they were able to reach the second underground floor so smoothly.
Generally speaking, the master of a mage tower would live in the arcane garden or laboratory on the upper floor of the mage tower.
Very few mages would live in the basement. Even necromancers rarely did so.
Therefore, most mages liked to place the defensive power of the mage tower on the upper floor of the mage tower to facilitate control and maintenance.
When outsiders attacked the mage tower, because the master and the tower spirit were on the upper floor, most of the time they attacked the upper floor.
In addition, once the mage tower was attacked by the enemy, the usual practice was to gather the enemy outside the door. Most of the fighting happened outside the mage tower. When the enemy attacked in, it meant that the mage tower's defensive line had collapsed.
In addition, the binding room on the first underground floor of the mage tower had a strong defensive power. No one would walk right into the trap and come here.
These reasons added up made the underground of most mage towers not have strong defensive power.
