The news brought by Witzmir was too unexpected. Even if it was confirmed from Witzmir, Leo still doubted it.
On that day, when he heard the sound of the death knell, among the members of the Alcott family that appeared in Leo’s mind, there was no Peter Alcott from beginning to end. In his view, even the entire seventh The Alcott family in the town on the lake is all dead, and Peter Alcott can definitely survive.
But now Peter Alcott is dead, and according to Witzmir, he still suffers from disease and death, which makes Leo simply unable to believe it. After all, when he saw Peter Alcott a few days ago, the other person was still in good health, and with his knowledge of psionicists, even a powerful virus could not make a psionicist Killed in just a few days.
"It seems that you really don't know anything," Witzmir was also surprised by Leo's reaction, and boldly guessed: "It should be the Alcott family who blocked the news, they don't want you Go to Peter Alcott’s Spiritual Meeting."
"Spiritual Society? Why am I eligible to attend Peter Alcott's Spiritual Association?" Leo looked at Witzmir with a weird look, but soon his face suddenly appeared, saying: "Doesn't Peter ·Alcott's will contains my name?"
Just as Leo's words fell, Witzmir nodded vigorously in coordination, and said, "Not only your name, but I heard that the name is still one of the top ones."
Leo first froze for a moment after hearing this sentence, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. All the expressions of astonishment, doubts and other expressions before he heard the news of Peter Alcott's death also retreated.
Although it was only speculation and there was no evidence, from the point of his name appearing in Peter Alcott’s will, Leo felt that Peter Alcott should not have died.
"Peter Alcott is dead. Do you still have to keep the agreement with him?" Witzmir asked again.
"Of course I will," Leo said calmly.
Hearing Leo’s answer, a small smile appeared on Witzmir’s face. Obviously Leo’s attitude towards cooperation promised him to be a little more relieved about the cooperation that the two had negotiated before. After all, no one would like to be with a People who would break promises will cooperate.
Witzmir then said in a deep voice: "However, if you want to keep your promises, you can't miss this spirit-keeping meeting."
"Why do you say that?" Leo questioned.
"The doll of Peter Alcott is also one of his relics, and not only the seventh Alcott family, even the Alcott family in other towns on the lake, and some puppet wizards, "I am very concerned about this puppet." Witzmir explained and speculated, "If I guess right, Peter Alcott's will definitely gave you that puppet, otherwise, It’s just something like ordinary money. The Alcott family will not behave so rudely and so stingy. Know that if they do so, no matter what the result will be, it will cause a great loss of prestige."
Leo thought for a moment and asked, "When will the spirit guard begin?"
"Today." Witzmir responded, then added a precise number: "After five ticks."
Leo asked again: "Do you have a way for me to participate in the Spirit Keeping Club?"
"Although it is difficult, it is not impossible." Witzmir quickly gave the answer, saying: "Sir Charles Langco has come to the town on the lake. He can be my emissary to participate in the seventh Orko. The Soul Guardian Society."
"It seems that you are prepared!" When seeing Witzmir answer so quickly, Leo could not see that Witzmir was prepared to speak in advance.
Witzmir didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "Hey! I'm just a little guy who helps people run errands."
"Although we are considered collaborators, it must be that the expedition lord should not be kind enough to help a collaborator and offend the seventh Alcott family." Leo soon learned that Witzmir was here and revealed Who is the messenger behind the details of the Spirit Keeper, so he said straightforwardly: "Speak! What requirements does the Expedition Lord have?"
Witzmir replied: "It's very simple. While the big library helps my master get the book of Night God Sigh, it also helps the expedition lord get another book from the library."
Leo frowned and said, "You should know that when we enter the waste capital, they don't necessarily appear near the big library."
Witzmir shook his head, pretending to be mysterious, and said, "No! If you enter with His Excellency Charles Lange, it will definitely appear near the large library."
Leo heard the words and couldn't help but speculate curiously: "Your Expeditioner has a treasure that can locate a large library?"
It's just that this time Witzmir didn't answer, just smiled.
Leo did not continue to ask, but changed a question and said: "Since you can't tell this question, what book does the Expeditioner want from the large library, should you be able to answer this question?"
"Of course this can be answered, it is the magic book of the crystal old man."
Hearing this answer, Leo was stunned, and the look on his face became serious.
Leo’s current understanding of the abandoned capital is no longer ignorant. Through the incomplete information previously provided by Witzmir, he already has a preliminary understanding of the situation of the abandoned capital.
The Wizarding Association believes that waste is the final destination after the destruction of anything in the multiverse. The remains of any thing in the multiverse will fall into the wasteland. These things may be a country or a person, or even It may be a mass of cosmic energy.
Interestingly, this multi-universe concept was not originally created by the chief wizards of the Wizarding Society. This concept came from a note brought out from the large library by the people who entered the abandoned capital. The writer of this note came from a name. It is an arcanist in the kingdom of Thresher.
People of the Wizarding Association have never been very clear about what arcane is, because the arcanist was crazy when he wrote this note, and the notes were upside down and mixed with more than ten different languages, except Except that a small part of the content related to the waste capital is interpreted, the vast majority of the rest are all messy text that cannot be interpreted temporarily.
The Wizards Association has discovered that the waste capital has been thousands of years and entered the waste capital thousands of times, but they still know nothing about the waste capital, they don’t know how big the waste is, they don’t know where the waste capital is. It’s not even clear how to actively enter into waste. It wasn't until the Wizards' Association obtained this Arcanist's note hundreds of years ago that they really began to understand the abandoned capital and how to find the entrance to the abandoned capital, and the name of the abandoned capital became the official name of that strange world.
Regarding the content of the note, there is not much mention in the information of Witzmir, but it is mentioned that the wizarding association can now locate the abandoned capital sites such as the Wangcheng and the big book library, all relying on the note.
Because that note was found in the big library, and there are a lot of books in the big library that record magical knowledge, the wizarding society’s exploration of the abandoned capital has been dominated by the big library for a long time.
In the information provided by Witzmir, the large library accounted for more than half, which also led Leo to pay special attention to this information.
According to the records, although the appearance of the large bookstore looks like a tower-like library, it has unlimited space inside. So far, the Wizards Association's exploration of the large bookstore has stopped at the 43rd floor.
Just like other places in the waste capital, the large library is also full of various monsters. The power of almost every layer of monsters will be doubled, and each layer will be guarded by an extremely powerful monster. The entrance to the upper level, and these monsters will continue to resurrect repeatedly.
The crystal old man is the guardian of the entrance to the large library on the 43rd floor, and the arcanist's notes were also picked up on the 43rd floor, so some people guess that the crystal old man is the arcanist himself.
For this reason, the Wizarding Society has explored the 43rd floor of the large book library the most. Although the Wizarding Association has never killed the Crystal Old Man, it has found two magic books of the Crystal Old Man in the hidden secret room on the 43rd floor. These two magic books have become one of the most important treasures of the Wizarding Society, and only the chief wizard is qualified to read it.
Although, in the information, there is no mention of the process of obtaining the crystalline old man's magic book, but after so many explorations in the large library of the wizarding association, a lot of casualties were paid, but still can not get the third crystalline old man's magic book. See, it is enough to know how difficult this magic book is.
Now, the expeditioner Shir Langke actually wants to help Leo to participate in the Alcott Family Spiritual Society, a trivial matter for him, in exchange for Leo to help him get the magic of the crystal old man. The precious treasures, in Leo's view, if it wasn't for the whimsical nature of this man, then the conditions he opened must have follow-up content.
So Leo deliberately said slightly ironically: "Mr. Witzmir, do you think such exchange terms are equivalent as businessmen?"
"Of course they are not equal." Witzmir showed a little embarrassment on his face, and then said righteously: "I asked the Expeditioner this way, but he said that if you are willing to help him get the magic book of the crystal old man, he is willing to open to you His private library."
Leo showed a thoughtful expression and did not answer immediately.
Undoubtedly, this condition issued by Charles Lange is the best trading condition for any ordinary wizard of the Wizarding Association. As the main disciple of the ninth chief wizard, the expeditioner Charles Lange is definitely a powerful one. The wizard, and even many people think that he must inherit the position of ninth chief in the future, so his private library must contain a variety of powerful witchcraft, which is the treasure that any wizard dreams of.
The problem is that Leo is not a wizard, nor is it a wizard of the Wizarding Association. Although the conditions provided by Charles Langco are sufficient, it is of no use to him, and even more disturbing is that he even You cannot oppose such a condition, otherwise it will inevitably cause doubt.
So after thinking about it for a moment, Leo deliberately set a small obstacle and said: "It is naturally my dream to be able to enter the library of the Expedition, but it is also dangerous to help the Expedition to obtain the magic book of the crystal old man. , I don’t know if I can come back alive, so this trading condition looks good, but it is too illusory. Rather than opening such a good trading condition, but not necessarily able to finally obtain the trading conditions, I would prefer to obtain them in advance. Something real."
Witzmir was slightly silent, and asked, "Mr. Leo, what do you think is appropriate?"
Leo Shen said: "Not less than three chief wizard's notes."
Witzmir thought for a moment, and nodded: "This condition, Your Expedition, should be acceptable."
Leo did not expect that Witzmir would agree to be so refreshing. He was stunned and re-examined Witzmir’s identity, and at the same time, he held out his hand to Witzmir and said: "Since this, I and the expedition Your transaction was concluded."
"The deal was concluded," Witzmir also shook Leo's hand, and continued: "I will immediately arrange for you to attend the spiritual meeting, and I will pick you up in an hour."
"This is not busy." Leo waved his hand casually, then stopped Witzmir, and said: "Don't be busy, I have a few things to ask you."
"What's the matter?" Witzmir asked.
Leo asked directly: "What is the first thing about the Nowitzki family's bounty? As far as I know, the Nowitzki family has sent people to the root nest."
Witzmir said a little embarrassedly: "I just wanted to tell you about this matter. The Nowitzki family went to the root nest to catch people based on the murderer information you gave. As a result, they encountered some accidents and suffered heavy losses. There are family members within the Ki family who are dissatisfied with the current heir. This is an excuse to delay what should be delivered to you."
"Should they not want to pay the bill?" Leo said with a somber face.
Witzmir immediately shook his head and explained: "Of course not ~EbookFREE.me~ They just deliberately delayed the time because they know that you will also go to the abandoned capital, so..."
"So they want to wait until I come back from the waste capital, and then give me things," Leo sneered. "If I can't come back, they don't need to care about me dead, right?"
"They did think so." Witzmir mentioned the little tricks of the noble families, but he also disdained, but then he said very firmly: "However, you can rest assured that as long as you participate in this spiritual guard, I believe that the Nowitzki family will deliver what you want to you tomorrow."
Leo glanced at Witzmir with a smile on his face, and guessed in his heart that Witzmir must know something that he did not know, but in his favor, otherwise it would not be realized so confidently.
As far as Leo is concerned, as long as the things are in hand, what is the process, how does Witzmir operate this matter, and how much benefit does this matter bring to Witzmir, he does not care, so He did not continue to question this matter.
And just when Witzmir thought Leo would next ask about bounty or abandoned capital, Leo suddenly turned his head and asked him a question that made him extremely worried.
