Chapter 1618: Lies and Costs

Whether it's Devina or the Countess, they can't make up their minds about the solution Leo gave to the problem. There are so many secrets and mysteries they have obtained today, so many that they can't think in a normal way.
Seeing this situation, Leo did not continue to persuade anything, but said that they did not need to make a decision immediately, they needed to go to Lake Narnia, and the mother and daughter could figure it out for themselves during this time.
In addition, he also took this opportunity to ask the Countess to issue an identity certificate that would allow him to travel freely in the West Green Emerald region.
For Leo's request, the countess will naturally not neglect. The certificate she issued has more authority than Leo's request, and directly granted the status of a special envoy of the earl, not only the towns in the West Green Emerald area can pass freely, even Some special military and administrative locations can also pass through, and it also gives Leo part of the power to directly call the administrative and military resources in the West Green Emerald area, which makes Leo as long as he wants, then he can drive West Green Emerald officials to replace him. Do your own business.
The fact that the Countess gave herself more authority than required made Leo puzzled at first, but then the Countess ordered her subordinates to bring a pile of Narnia Lake materials that had been sorted out and seemed to be some years old. Later, he realized that the Countess might have misunderstood the purpose of his trip to Lake Narnia, and this also made him determine the external force that caused Devina's bloodline awakening from these documents that had been collated for many years. It is indeed Lake Narnia.
In this regard, Leo did not explain more, but accepted the arrangement of the Countess, and told the Countess very clearly that he went to Lake Narnia to investigate for Devina, and this practice is also To a certain extent, the countess felt a little more at ease.
After making the decision, Leo did not continue to stay in the Qingshui Garden, and after telling the Countess and Devina some precautions, he left the villa with the tree demon Lutaxi, although the tree demon Lutaxi did not agree. Leo's aggressive approach was very dissatisfied. She still wanted to spend two days with Devina, but she couldn't say anything. After all, both the Countess and Devina thought that Leo left immediately to learn more about Devina. In Na's situation, only she knew that Leo's original purpose was to go to Lake Narnia.
After leaving Qingshui Garden, Leo and the tree demon Lutasi did not take the forest road anymore, but followed the map provided by the Countess and took a road through three forest towns and directly to Lake Narnia. This road is also known as the Log Road, because the largest logging farms in the West Green Emerald region are at the end of this road, in the virgin forest around Lake Narnia.
In the information provided by the Countess, these logging camps were also highlighted, and the reason for the special mention was mainly because the trees in the forests of these logging camps grew very fast.
"Above the Sky"
In other forests it takes at least ten to fifteen years for a tree to grow large enough to be cut down as a processing log, but in the forest around Lake Narnia the same tree takes only about a year It has grown to the point where it can be cut down.
The Countess also invited many scholars from the academic city to study this situation, but did not find a reason, but only determined that the abnormality of the forest came from Lake Narnia, and also determined that only red cedar can be removed from the lake. With this blessing of growth in Lake Narnia, other trees are of no use, even if they are planted close to the lake.
Although from the data point of view, the Countess has invited many authoritative scholars of academic city related research to come here for a long period of research and investigation, but still did not come up with a useful result, but Leo still intends to drop by there. Take a look at a few lumber mills to see what's so special about the redwoods in that forest.
"You did it on purpose, right?" On the way, the tree demon Lutaxi, who had been silent since leaving Bieyuan, suddenly opened his mouth and asked Leo, but her question was so ignorant that people couldn't hear it. clear.
"What's the intention?" Leo rode a horse, turned his head to look at the tree demon Lutassi who was walking side by side with him, and asked rhetorically.
The tree demon Lutaxi took a few steps forward, and after surpassing Leo, turned his head to look at Leo's face, observed his expression, and said, "You can actually completely cure Devina, you said that on purpose. Can't be cured, right?"
Leo was silent for a while, and then asked: "Why do you think I can cure Devina?"
"Intuition, my intuition tells me that you have a way to cure Devina." The tree demon Lutasi said truthfully.
When Leo heard the words, he did not respond immediately, but closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, nodded, and admitted: "Yes, I can completely cure your friend's problems, and even I can make her eyes and legs. Back to normal."
Seeing that Leo admitted his guess so directly, the tree demon Lutaxi didn't know what to do for a while, and stayed in place for a long time, until Leo walked a long distance before rushing He caught up and asked, "Since you can cure Devina, why didn't you cure her?"
"Good question," Leo nodded and asked back: "Then I will ask you in turn, why should I cure her?"
The tree demon Lutasi hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Leo continued: "Dwenna is your friend, but what does it have to do with me, for me, she is just a passerby, why should I spend my own efforts to treat a passerby? What's the benefit?"
"This..." The tree demon Lutaxi looked embarrassed and said, "Aren't we partners? Since we are partners, then my friend is yours..."
Leo interrupted Lutaxi, the tree demon, and said, "Wait, you seem to have mistaken our identity relationship, do you really think we are partners?"
The tree demon Lutassi opened his mouth, but said nothing, but fell silent.
Leo said honestly: "Look! You don't think we are partners, we are only temporary collaborators at best, you are by my side because of the white deer, and I am also because of the white deer. You are by your side, in fact our relationship may only be a little better than passers-by."
The tree demon Lutaxi's face became a little ugly, and unable to refute Leo's words, he could only silently bow his head and follow Leo's side.
After a while, she suddenly asked again, "Can you really cure Devina? Didn't you lie?"
"Yes, I can really cure Devina." Leo gave a positive answer, but added: "It's just that this cure may be different from what you think, if you follow my method directly If you treat Devina, not only will I have to pay a price in the end, but Devina will also pay a heavy price, and the final result will definitely not satisfy anyone, so I simply say that it is not cured."
After listening to the tree demon Lutaxi, he stared at Leo for a long time, and seemed to want to see whether Leo was lying from the change in the expression on Leo's face, but Leo's expression did not provide her with any useful information, making her She didn't know if it was Leo's words to believe.
In fact, Leo didn't lie to her, he did have a way to treat Devina's abnormal body, and as he said, the final treatment effect would be very bad.
When he discovered that the reason for the uncontrolled witch power in Devina was the Lake Narnia gem, he already had several plans to cure Devina in his mind, but those plans were all very risky. There are only two cores, one is to remove the Lake Narnia gem in Devina's bloodline, and the other is to completely solve Devina's witch bloodline, so that Devina becomes an ordinary person.
Although there are two cores, it only takes one step to complete these two cores, and that is to extract the blood of the witch from Devina.
In the world of Velen, both the church and the wizards have a history of researching witches, and their research methods are also very rough. The bloodline is passed on to other people. This person can be a woman, a man, or even a human being. Finally, we will use this to see if the witch bloodline can be awakened.
However, this type of research has only been maintained for a short period of time, and the reason is that apart from the revenge of the witches, the more important reason is that their research has not achieved any results, even the wizards of the tower.
The blood wizard Lawrence, with the support of Rupert Fitz, also collected relevant information, but the research has not been officially started. It also fell into the hands of Sylvia along with the blood wizard Lawrence.
Leo also read the relevant information at the beginning, and found from the information that both the church and the medical school have mastered a set of mature methods, which can extract the complete witch bloodline from the witch, but the extracted witch bloodline is transferred to In other people, no matter what kind of body the person has, there will be a very serious rejection reaction, and this rejection reaction is fatal and irreversible. , still can not eliminate the rejection reaction, and eventually die.
As for the witch who was drained of the witch's blood, it will also rapidly age in a short period of time, and will basically die within two years. From the data point of view, the mortality rate can be said to be 100%.
As Leo said to the tree demon Lutassi, he can indeed take away the witch bloodline from Devina. Once the support of the witch bloodline is lost, all the mutations in Devina will stop and subside. At that time, the tree demon With the help of Lutaxi's natural power, all abnormal parts should be able to return to normal, but after doing this, Devina will only have two years to live at most, and even the gods can't stop her from aging and dying, so Leo said that the price needed to save Devina was too great.
In addition to directly treating Devina, which will lead to Devina's death, more importantly, Leo can be said to have no benefit at all, because the blood of the witch will soon lose its activity, and there is no research value, only Only the living witch Devina can make Leo repeatedly study the secret of the witch's bloodline in her body, especially the secret that the Narnia gem is integrated into her bloodline, which can make her witch's power grow infinitely.
Leo said that he could not directly cure Devina. He could only take Devina out of this world and go to other worlds to train her control of the witch's power. He wanted to take Devina with him to study her bloodline, and perhaps also It can make Sylvia one more powerful witch subordinate.
The tree demon Lutassi was very sensitive and could sense that Leo was lying or hiding something about treating Devina, but she couldn't find a way to refute Leo's actions, because no matter what Leo did What, he is the only one who can treat Devina now, but the fact that he can't change it, if Leo leaves it alone, then she can't imagine what Devina will end up with.
In this way, the two of them didn't say anything more about Devina's treatment along the way, and the two also didn't have anything to say, they stayed silent all the way until they came to the map provided by the Countess. The first town marked.
However, what puzzled both Leo and the tree demon Lutashi was that the situation in this town seemed to be different from what was written on the map. It is not as prosperous as described in the map description, but it is extremely depressed, and after entering the town, the people you see are either women, children, and some old people, while the young men and teenagers can't see a single one. .
Seeing this scene, Leo thought of war for the first time. Obviously, only war requires a large-scale recruitment of soldiers, which will lead to the disappearance of all adult men in a small town. Recorded from those abandoned towns in the Middle Kingdom There are many similar things in history.
However, Leo is also puzzled by this inference, because judging from the scale of the war he participated in the West Green Emerald region, it seems that the West Green Emerald region is not difficult to the point where an adult male needs to take time out of a town, and more importantly The location of this town is on the main avenue of the West Green Emerald Forest, and it is not too far from the Qingshui Garden where Devina cultivated. Even if the Countess recruited soldiers to support the war, she would never choose Changteng Town as a recruit. point.
Although he was puzzled about the situation in Nagto Town, Leo did not intervene in the investigation, but suppressed the curiosity in his heart, ignored the situation, adjusted it a little in the town, and passed through. The central avenue of the town, continue the previous itinerary.
It's just that many things can't be avoided if he wants to. After passing through Changteng Town, Leo passed through the other two towns on the Log Avenue one after another one day and one night. The situation in the two towns was the same as that in Changteng Town. There was hardly a single adult male. They were all old people, children and women. This suddenly made Leo feel that this abnormal phenomenon might be related to Lake Narnia. When leaving the last town, he asked the old guard who was guarding the gate of the town.
