At this moment, not only Inspector General Alfred, but everyone else present also looked at Peter.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

“Captain, are you crazy?”

“The second floor is many times more dangerous than the first floor. If you go down and encounter danger, what will you do?”

The team members around him were very nervous, afraid that Peter would meet accidents if he went down.

After all, they were able to live a relatively good life now, mostly thanks to Peter, who led them to their current positions!

If Peter died, they would certainly be very sad.

“Hey, there’s no need to be so nervous. I’ll be fine. After all, those prisoners are sealed. Is it possible for them to escape from their sealed state? That’s impossible!”

Peter appeared very relaxed.

Because he felt that these prisoners on the first floor couldn’t satisfy him anymore.

For his current situation, he needed to go deeper!

And even if he didn’t do it right now, he would definitely have to do it in the future.

With such a good opportunity, Peter certainly didn’t want to give up!

Upon hearing Peter’s words, the team members wanted to persuade him, but Peter remained firm.

Even the Inspector General on the side couldn’t help but admire him, thinking that Peter was truly dedicated and responsible.

Despite not having strong strength, he didn’t back down because of it. This was truly a rare and outstanding quality!

Because the fear of the unknown was a human instinct.

And most people simply could not overcome such fear, which became a fatal drawback for them.

Peter, on the other hand, could avoid such a flaw, took on his responsibilities, and willingly entered the second underground floor.

There was no doubt about it.

Peter was extremely impressive!

Alfred believed that Peter did have fear in his heart, but he could overcome it.

This was indeed very rare.

“If even Peter is willing to go down, do the rest of you have anything to fear?”

The Inspector General looked at the people around him and said in a serious tone.

Upon hearing the Inspector General’s words, the people present couldn’t help but exchange looks.

They realized that they seemed to have gone too far!

Just like Peter said.

Those guys were already sealed. What else was there to fear?

After understanding this, the fear in their hearts finally weakened slightly.

“We have a total of 50 people in our Wizard Tower, including 5 Advanced Wizards, 9 Intermediate Wizards, 18 Junior Wizards, and 20 apprentice wizards. Among the apprentice wizards, including Peter, there are 6 who can use magic…”

Inspector General Alfred didn’t care about what others thought.

At this moment, he continued speaking, “I hereby announce that the remaining 5 people will patrol the second underground floor along with Peter!”

“Understood!”

The people present nodded in agreement.

Although there might be some unwilling emotions in their hearts, this was an order from the Inspector General.

As apprentice wizards at the bottom level, they couldn’t refuse.

At this moment, the people were chosen.

Led by Peter, they walked step by step toward the underground area.

When the group passed the first underground floor and stepped onto the stairs leading to the second underground floor, they immediately felt the atmosphere in front of them become extremely gloomy and terrifying.

Although the air of the first underground floor was already chilling enough.

But compared to the first floor, the cold emanating from the second floor was noticeably much stronger!

That was right!

It was many times stronger!

Even though they hadn’t reached the second underground floor yet.

Even though they were only walking on the stairs leading to the second underground floor.

However, that eerie and terrifying atmosphere still penetrated into the marrow of each and every one of them!

That bone-chilling coldness made everyone huddle up.

Some even tightened their clothes.

Even though it was all in vain!

Finally, the group arrived at the entrance of the second underground floor.

It was a massive iron door.

The door was covered with various runes, giving off a sense of endless mystery.

“So, this is the second underground floor? Who knows how long it’s been since anyone came here!”

One of them complained.

Peter remained silent.

As the one standing at the front of the team, he extended his hand and gently pressed it against the door.

Boom…

With a series of rumbling sounds, the tightly closed door slowly opened under Peter’s control.

At the same time, an even more bone-piercing coldness rushed toward them!

Everyone took a sharp breath.

They quickly became more vigilant, as if some terrifying monster would suddenly emerge from inside!

But in fact, their worries were unnecessary.

There were no so-called monsters in this vast underground space.

However, everyone could still see pairs of icy-cold eyes gleaming in the darkness.
