My Wife and I Became Sages in Another World

When Rio and Lampart showed me all the way down to the tenth ring of The Pit, we arrived at the area they were using as a prison.

Surprisingly, there was only one prisoner chained to the wall, while the rest of the floor was entirely empty.

The man, who shared the features of the Viking warriors, raised his gaze and instantly tried to rush towards us with a deranged expression but was promptly stopped by the chains around his wrists.

It was pretty strange for me since it looked like the man’s eyes were completely devoid of emotions while the rest of his body acted differently.

I could tell that his eyes looked the same as the brainwashed soldiers we saw at the settlement. Still, there was something I had noticed that was somewhat bothering me.

All of the warriors who were at The Pit getting ready to fight had a similar body build to Bjorn and Magnus—tall, strong, bearded Vikings.

However, the soldiers we saw at the settlement weren’t as beefy as these guys.

At first, I thought that the difference in muscle mass somehow made them resist the mind-control spell, but that idea was refuted when I witnessed Helena’s memories.

Her husband, who ran all the way to his home to tell his family about Baelzor, looked just as tall and robust as the rest of the Vikings in The Pit, so I knew that their body build had nothing to do with their ability to resist the spell.
