Chapter 557: Death Valley

The reason why Leo has such doubts is because the content of this book is completely different from what he thought. In his view, this book is either a horror book or an adventure book based on the title of the book. , But after reading it, I found that this book turned out to be the most idyllic love novel loved by women in the Kingdom of England.
The content of the book is about a traveler. During a trip, he was lost in the forest because of the mist. He accidentally came to a place called Death Valley, and then met some people there, something happened, and also got love. Until he began to feel that life was a bit boring, he went on a trip again, but found himself caught in the mist again. After leaving the mist, he went back to the place where he was lost, and then he wanted to go back to Death Valley and could not find a way. Too.
The content of the whole novel is mainly based on the life of Death Valley. It is full of various plots of pastoral novels. It is a very vulgar pastoral novel, which is not worth watching.
However, this novel is not useless. When Leo saw the protagonist of the novel lost in the mist and finally went to a place in Death Valley, he immediately thought of the mist surrounding the world in his mind. The two seem to be related. .
So even though Leo felt that the book was completely different from what he had in mind, he still picked it up again and looked at it, but this time he took it more seriously.
Perhaps because of different attitudes, the same text and content, Leo looked at some other content between the hidden lines.
In addition to the foggy plot that was noticed by Leo in the beginning, the book also mentioned at the beginning that the protagonist encountered the fog in the forest of Yosh County, but the problem is that according to Leo’s past memory, the geography of Yosh County The environment is completely swamp, a small forest may exist, but there is absolutely no such thing as a forest.
In addition, the author uses a lot of pen and ink to describe the life customs and clothing scenes in Death Valley, so that the people who see it have a feeling of being on the scene. After reading, people who are familiar with customs, clothing and architecture in various places will find that they have died. No matter what people wear in life, food, residence, etc., do not come from the same country and region, but cover the clothing, architecture and eating styles of countries around the world.
It can be seen from this that the author must be a folklorist with rich knowledge, otherwise, even if someone really sees these scenes with their own eyes, I am afraid they cannot be described in such detail.
Therefore, when such a scholar writes this book, he will never make a low-level mistake in the geographical environment, and Leo feels that the reason why the author wrote this is either because he is hiding the real address, or it is indeed the county of Josh. Owning a forest is just not visible to most people.
Compared with the previous guess, Leo is more inclined to the second guess, because in the author's rigorous attitude of describing the environment of Death Valley, even if the author wants to hide the real address, he should choose an environment that is similar to the real address. The place is written in the book without leaving such a big hole.
In addition, in the middle part of the book, there is a story line that is very worth noting. In that plot, the protagonist proposes to the woman who fell in love. The woman who fell in love mentioned the origin of the residents of Death Valley and some customary rules of marriage proposal.
In this section, the origin of Death Valley is very interesting. The earliest people in Death Valley came from a continent ruled by knights. They were a knight family. Because they were defeated by the enemy knights, the family was in danger of being slaughtered. In this way, they can only choose to venture into the mist on the edge of that continent in order to gain a first-line life.
In the mist, they were attacked by some unknown monsters. After paying the sacrifices of some people, they were lucky enough to walk through the mist and come to the world of Velon, and settle down in the world of Velon.
It was just that there were some wars in the Velen world. They were displaced again, wandering around the Velen world, and eventually lived in the relatively stable Kingdom of England, and established Death Valley. The strange name of Death Valley is because of their ancestors. Once known as the death knight on that continent.
If it was just a story of crossing the mist, Leo would not be interested. The real reason for his attention was that when he mentioned that the ancestors of Death Valley fled the knightland, they got some from Catalina. With the help of the knight, he escaped time and again from the enemy.
When he saw the name Catalina, Leo naturally thought of the Celedor of Catalina that he met outside the king city of all territories. According to the book, the Catalina Knight From the description of the armor, it is clear that the two are the same country.
If Death Valley really exists, then the ancestors of Death Valley should come from the world where Celedor is located, but what really makes Leo care is that these outsiders come to the Velon world and seem to bring the mist to Velon. world.
In the book, some people who recorded Death Valley mentioned that the misty forest outside Death Valley was created by their ancestors to protect the tranquility of Death Valley. If this record is true, then it means death When the ancestors of Gu passed through the mist, they mastered the method of making the mist, or they became the family of the mist.
Leo finished reading the novel a second time, closed the book, meditated quietly, got up and walked out the door, headed down the stairs, shouted: "Sanjas, you let someone go to the bookstore, take all I bought books related to Josh County, especially books like folklore."
The butler downstairs Sanjes responded calmly, without asking much, and collected all the books of Josh County as Leo had instructed.
I have to say that the ability of Sanjes Butler is really good. In less than three hours, he sent all the books in Josh County that he could collect to Leo’s study, hundreds of large and small. This book, more than half of them are folklore books.
In the next two days, Leo was reading these books, and found a lot of clues related to Death Valley.
These books contain a lot of legends about the mysterious forests and mysterious valleys of Josh County. This has become one of the most famous folklore legends in Josh County, except that the forests in the legends are not foggy and the valleys are not called Death Valley.
In these legends, without exception, it is mentioned that there is a mysterious forest in the swamp of Josh County. This forest is usually invisible, and only appears in the swamp at the full moon, and the place where it appears Not fixed.
For the evaluation of this mysterious forest, the legendary story shows a polarized situation. One is that the forest represents luck, because those who enter the forest can get some precious items from the forest when they leave the forest, some are very precious medicinal materials, and some are precious gems. However, another legend holds that the forest represents doom, because many people who saw and entered the forest did not come out in the end. Many books liken the forest to a monster that devours life.
Compared to the polarization of the forest, all the legends about the forest valley are consistent, that is, the mystery, they are also described in almost the same way, all written in the forest there is a valley, but even if you can see that The valley, but no matter what method you can't get close to that valley, it feels like copying each other.
After seeing this text, Leo thought that the description of this text might be true, because if he uses witchcraft, he can easily do this.
When Leo was almost finished reading the book, Sean Donald came to Leo’s apartment again and brought a response.
"So did the royal family agree to my request?" In the study, Leo heard Sean's words, looked at the box on the table, and said, "Is this the relic of the wizard? Only so little ?"
"Of course not only this," Sean smiled. "This is just the deposit we paid."
Leo did not rush to open the box, but looked at Sean thoughtfully, as if he had seen through Sean's mind.
Sean, who was very calm, couldn't help feeling nervous when facing Leo's eyes, and he was a little surprised that this kind of nervousness only happened when he faced the royal majesty.
"If I guessed right, there should be others going to Death Valley?" Leo smiled and said, "Let me guess who it is? The Duke of Buckingham is still able to use the Poseidon artifact." Another rose family?"
Sean smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a headache to talk to you about trading! You say it! What are the other conditions?"
"No more!" Leo shook his head, picked up the box on the table, put it on his hand, and said: "I am also very interested in this matter. Even without your transaction, I will go to Josh County. Take a trip. Didn’t you deliberately leave the book to make me interested in Death Valley?"
Although he was dismantled in front of his mind, Sean did not reveal an awkward look, just smiled and said nothing.
Leo remarked and said: "However, the information you said last time seems to hide something. I hope you can tell me everything you know this time."
Sean said doubtfully: "I didn't hide any information..."
Before Sean's words were finished, Leo raised his hand to stop him, and then said, "You haven't told me why the royal family is so sure that the real graveyard of Earl Drake is in Death Valley? Why are they so sure? Earl Lake is dead?"
"This me..." Sean's face appeared a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something sophistry,
Leo interrupted Sean again and said very seriously: "Our cooperation should be based on mutual trust, so I don’t want you to lie to me, and the things I ask are also critical, whether it’s successful or not Poseidon’s artifact, you lie to me now, if for this reason I finally find nothing, who will bear this responsibility?"
Hearing threatening words, Sean opened his mouth and finally did not say what he had thought of before, but smiled bitterly and said: "I really regret to come to you now, Leo Dodd Mr."
Leo smiled and said, "I regret it, but the question is, can you still find other people? Or are there other people who are more likely than me to find the Poseidon artifact and don't care about it?"
Sean pouted, without refuting Leo’s words, and then stepped straight to the point, saying:
Everyone who sent out to look for the artifact of Poseidon left a drop of blood in the hands of the royal family. The royal family can know this drop through special divination. The situation of the blood master. After the death of Count Drake, the royal family found that the blood of Count Drake had not changed, so he thought that Count Drake was still alive."
"So the royal family has never directly sold the descendants of Count Drake," Leo said with a sneer on his face.
Sean did not deny Leo’s guess, but was a little embarrassed, and then quickly returned to normal, and continued: "Not long ago, the royal family discovered that the blood of Count Drake had changed, and they immediately found the fortune teller. Responsible for divination, and finally got the answer that Earl Drake was dead."
"Fortune-telling? Is this divination credible?" Leo asked frowningly, frowning.
Although Leo was interested in Death Valley, he was unwilling to face a powerful tower wizard, and if Count Drake was still alive, he would not accept Sean’s employment anyway.
Leo has no doubt about whether a wizard can live for hundreds of years, because he is already a fifth-level psionicist, and he estimates the vitality alone~EbookFREE.me~ I am afraid that the lifespan can be more than two hundred years old, and Count Drake is a powerful wizard, and it is not doubtful that he will live longer.
Shaun replied firmly: "I don't know the other divination, but the royal divination is very strong, and the result of the divination is very credible."
Leo asked again: "So the artifact of Poseidon will appear in Death Valley, is it also fortune-tellers?"
Shawn shook his head and said: "Of course not. All divination involving gods is impossible to be accurate and very dangerous. The fortune teller may even go crazy during divination. After all, mortals cannot bear the light of gods." He paused for a while and then said: "There is a set of Poseidon artifacts, there are some mysterious connections between each other, which can sense the position of other Poseidon artifacts through special methods."
Leo couldn't help but ask: "Since the royal family has long known that Count Drake is still alive, and also knows that the Poseidon artifact is in Death Valley, why not directly find Count Drake, and Drake..."
Sean interrupted Leo’s words and explained:
No, you made a mistake. The royal family never knew the true whereabouts of the Poseidon artifact. It was not until after the death of Earl Drake not long ago, The idea is that Count Drake used some methods to limit the connection of the artifact."
