Chapter 1571: discuss


"How credible is her words?" After returning to the apartment bedroom, Sylvia motioned for Leo to use his psionic skills to build a shielded space for prying eyes, and then asked very seriously.
Leo pondered for a moment and said, "Most of them should be credible, but they also concealed a lot of things, and some key things."
"I think so too." Sylvia nodded and said, "Not only the things that the dragon giant who called himself Ambert Belmont said had hidden content, but also the content of what the old duke said. Problems, like why the castle was built must be different from what they say."
Afterwards, Sylvia seriously expressed her opinion on the doubtful points.
According to the old dukes and the others, Belmont Castle was built because when the remains of the ancestors were excavated, they accidentally discovered that the ancestors buried in the lava did not die, but began to gradually move towards the abyss dragon form for other unknown reasons. Metamorphosis, in order to prevent these mutating abyss dragons from eventually bringing disaster to the world and attracting the attention of the Church of True God, they will build a castle on the lava lake, and then hold rituals every time to enhance the effect of the castle's banning power.
This statement sounds reasonable, and there is nothing suspicious, but if you think about it carefully, you can find a lot of suspicious beginnings, such as what is the purpose of excavating the remains of the ancestors, and spending a lot of manpower and material resources to excavate the remains. Come out, just to be reburied? This kind of reason is wrong no matter what, and if it is inferred from normal circumstances, that Ambert Belmonte must have participated in the excavation of the remains, so before excavation, he must also know what is in the lava lake. The purpose is questionable.
There was a problem with the original purpose, and then all the reasons and statements were doubtful, so Sylvia reorganized the reasons for building the castle, making the whole statement completely different.
According to Sylvia, when they found the lava lake and excavated the remains of the ancestors, the diggers already knew what was going on in the lava lake from Ambert Belmont, so their purpose was to target the already demonic Those ancestral clansmen who transformed into dragons came.
After that, building castles and performing rituals is not only to imprison those Belmont clansmen who have been transformed into dragons, but also to catalyze the speed of those clansmen's transformation into dragons. You must know that in the abyss, an abyss dragon's growth cycle Very long, usually in thousands of years.
Leo listened to Sylvia's narration and nodded, expressing his approval of the reorganized statement, and after Sylvia finished speaking, he also added: "Think carefully about the Belmont families who first came to this world. There are also doubts about what happened to the people. Compared with the statement that the teleportation exit accidentally appeared over the lava lake, causing the clansmen to fall into the lava lake and be swallowed up, I think the teleportation exit should not appear on the lava lake, so those who fell into the lava The Belmont people of the lake were also not accidental, probably intentional."
After Sylvia heard it, she was stunned for a while, and without thinking about it for a while, she said, "More details."
So, Leo told the truth about his opinion. It doesn't make sense for the teleportation exit to appear on the lava lake first, because the place where the teleportation entrance and exit such as the space rift appears does not have to be as cluttered as the energy isolation vacuum. energy, but there cannot be a lot of chaotic energy, and the energy environment in this crater is obviously very unsuitable for opening a space transfer channel, not to mention that this space channel is a randomly selected channel exit location from another world.
Therefore, according to Leo's inference, the space channel opened up by the clansmen who separated from the Belmont family in the Velen world should have been opened to other places, and it is a stable and safe space channel.
As for the lava lake, they found a settlement suitable for their family blood after they came to this world. Therefore, Leo also guessed that the Belmont people in the lava lake who began to transform into the abyss dragon were not accidentally falling into the lava. What was swallowed up behind the lake was that they took the initiative to enter the lava lake to carry out this kind of dragon transformation. The Belmont family members at that time probably mastered a secret technique that could make use of the environment here to rent their blood back. Castles are also part of the occult.
Sylvia wondered: "If it is voluntary, why is it now..."
Leo analyzed: "In the past few hundred years, something may have happened that caused the original plan to fail, and Ambert Belmont, who was in charge of the maintenance plan, had to change the plan." He paused. After a while, the conversation changed again and said: "It is also possible that Ambert Belmont, who is in charge of the operation of the maintenance plan, changed his mind and artificially changed the plan, and wanted to make himself the ultimate beneficiary."
Leo then seriously talked about his thoughts after seeing the abyss demon dragon cub on the lake. He felt that the abyss demon dragon cub was not so much an accident in the process of transformation, but more artificial. He took away everything related to the vitality of the abyss demon dragon cub, and the method of taking it away was the rituals that took place every once in a while and the castle where there was a special magic circle.
Even the Belmont people who failed to transform in the lava lake also failed because of this reason, and the purpose of this is probably to gather all the vitality to breed a perfect mature abyss dragon.
After listening to Leo's analysis, Sylvia was not surprised, but nodded in approval, and said, "If we analyze it according to our current inference, then the matter that Ambert Belmont asked us to help with. It's a little weird."
As Sylvia said, the brain in the vat may not be to save the Belmont family, but to harvest the spoils he has planned for so many years, occupy the mature abyss dragon that is bred in the lava, let Become a real abyss dragon yourself.
Sylvia also wondered: "But why did he let us participate in this matter? Isn't this kind of thing the safer the fewer people involved? Isn't he worried that after we participate, we will compete with him for the final result? ?"
Leo thought for a while and said, "I think it should be an impossible choice for him to let us participate."
Sylvia also understood what Leo meant and said, "You mean that there was a fatal error in his plan, forcing him to choose us to cooperate?"
Leo nodded and said, "This mistake is most likely because this leyline activity turned this dormant volcano into an active volcano. If the fruits are not harvested in time, then the hard work of these hundreds of years will be in vain."
Sylvia said with some doubts: "But how does he know that we have the ability to help him? After all, he has never really seen us. All the information about us comes from rumors. The reason is exaggerated or modified, and I have not really seen our power, and just based on rumors that we can really help him to harvest the results, this is obviously not what any wise person should do."
There was also a little doubt on Leo's face, and this was where he felt a little bit contradictory, because through the previous analysis, Ambert Belmonte, the brain in the tank, should be a wily and patient wise man, and judging from various circumstances , he obviously still has his back, so no matter how urgent the matter is, he should not think that Leo and Sylvia are suitable to assist him in harvesting the results based on rumors alone.
At this time, Leo suddenly thought of something, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I know why he thinks we are capable of helping him."
Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion.
"Lubeck Town." Leo just said a name.
Sylvia immediately understood what Leo meant, and said, "Lübeck Town is an ability test." After speaking, she asked, "But how did he know that we would land in Lübeck Town? He should not have the ability. Does it affect our perception of direction?"
"It doesn't need to affect us." Leo shook his head and said, "No matter where we fall or which way we take, our ultimate goal is to come to Belmont Castle, and we will appear in a town controlled by the Belmont family. , at that time, we only need to let the receptionist give us a little guidance, and we can go to the test site. This test site does not have to be Lübeck Town, and there are even more than one or two test sites. As long as we pass the test of any one of the test sites , then we will be deemed capable of assisting him with his plan."
Sylvia nodded in approval. She was not annoyed that she might be calculated, but stood up excitedly, walked back and forth in the room, and said, "I originally thought that this visit to Belmont Castle was just one time. I didn't expect the boring trip to recognize relatives to become so interesting."
"It is indeed much more interesting than I thought." Leo also nodded and smiled.
After walking back and forth two times in the house, Sylvia sat next to Leo and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Leo thought for a while and said, "We don't need to reply immediately whether they are assisting or not. There is still some time before the ceremony, and we can use this time to collect some useful information as much as possible."
Sylvia tapped the arm of the chair with her fingers and said, "I think so too. It's best to be sure whether the current Belmont family knows about this Ambert Belmont's plan?"
Leo asked: "Do you think the current Belmont family is also kept in the dark?"
Sylvia nodded and said, "I don't know if the old duke knows about me, but no one else should be in the know." After speaking, she smiled and said, "I'm very interested to know if the rest of the Belmont family knows about Lava Lake. After the actual situation, what attitude will it take, is it solidarity and assistance? Or do you want to take a share of the pie?

Leo was stunned, looked at Sylvia, and said: "Although the Belmont family here can only be regarded as your distant relatives, but your blood is the same, they are all your clansmen, you may make The Belmont family has had a serious infighting, which is not a good thing." After speaking, he stood up, leaned over and looked at Sylvia, reached out to hold the other's face, looked at each other seriously, and said: " Because your bloodline is rising too fast, your mind has already begun to be affected by the chaotic consciousness of the abyss dragon."
Sylvia frowned, followed Leo's hand apart, shook his head, and said, "It was affected a little, but it wasn't profound. It should have been my own idea just now. There will be some chaos and casualties in the infighting, but it can also remove some of the blood stasis that has formed in the family over the years, and exchange a short-term loss of strength for a more stable family foundation, which will be more beneficial to the future development of the family. a little better."
Leo did not refute Sylvia's statement, he just said earnestly: "Although there is no problem with your idea, whether things will develop as you think in the end, you and I have no way of predicting this, I just remind you. , don't go too far."
Sylvia nodded, indicating that she knew what to do, and then asked Leo: "Where are you going to investigate these days?"
Leo said: "Since you are in charge of the Belmont family, then I will be in charge of the lava lake."
"Are you going to go down to the lava lake?" Sylvia was a little worried. Although she was very confident in Leo's strength, the Belmont family castle and the lava lake were just too weird, since the power that existed here could suppress the growing A few abyss dragons, then their power will inevitably pose a threat to Leo.
Leo kissed Sylvia's forehead, indicating that she didn't need to be so nervous, and smiled: "I do plan to go down, but it should be after investigating other things and getting results, and I have no plans to myself. Go down and I can find something else."
"Other things?" Sylvia looked at Leo in confusion.
Leo walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and pointed to the gargoyle on a spire in the distance. UU said: "They are the best pathfinders."
After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia didn't think much about it, and then asked, "What other things are you planning to investigate?"
"For example, who is the collaborator of that Ambert Belmont?" Leo's expression became serious, and he said, "This matter has been going on for hundreds of years, let alone control and suppress the lava lake with the strength of the Belmont family. There is an abyss dragon that is being bred inside. Even if it is a castle on this lava lake, they may not be able to build it, so Ambert Belmont should have another collaborator. This collaborator should be very strong in both strength and power. , and he should be the support of Umberto Belmont, we are just the pioneers of the road."
"Could this collaborator be the Spirit of Knowledge?" Sylvia guessed.
"The Spirit of Knowledge should be an insider, but it will never be a collaborator, and from various circumstances, the Spirit of Knowledge can only be the last choice for the failure of the Ambert Belmonte plan." Leo shook his head and denied After thinking about this guess for a moment, he said, "No matter who the collaborator is, he should have left some traces in the castle. I should be able to find it out, and then I will know who he is."
