The old wizard did not lie. He was indeed surprised, and it was extremely unexpected. Not only did Leo also go to Yam Island, and left smoothly, returning to Velen, he was even more surprised that Leo could solve the problem so easily. He haunted the monster for months.
The old wizard originally asked the royal family to hire Leo, just wanting to borrow Leo’s luck, because after all the Poseidon scepter was found by Leo, he felt that there might be some mysterious connection between the Poseidon artifact and Leo, so he put Leo may be able to find the artifact of Poseidon again.
However, he never imagined that Leo was so powerful, so he solved the monster easily, and unlike other people, he could clearly feel that the thunderbolt witchcraft used by Leo was full of destructive power. This is the destructive power he has never felt before.
Although Leo's strength can make things smoother afterwards, it also completely deviates from the old wizard's original intention, because Leo appeared with Su.
The old wizard is very clear what Su came to do, even he deliberately put Su in order to attract the attention of the special bureau, but he did not expect Su to even know Leo, and from the battle situation just now The relationship between the two seems to be pretty good, which makes him imaginative.
If Leo is just a general dark world, then the old wizard can easily control it, but the problem is that Leo’s power is too strong. Once there are other ideas or changes in collaborators and employment relationships, then the final piece Whether the Poseidon artifact can return to their hands, he does not know.
It is for this reason that the old wizard did not want to take advantage of the chance of the monster that blocked the way to be eliminated, and entered the church. Instead, he chose to take a slow turn and determine Leo’s idea before taking the next step, otherwise, He prefers to leave the artifact of Poseidon in the church.
"The trap didn't succeed, it turned into an accident. Old Otto is still as cunning as before." When Leo hadn't expressed his attitude to the old wizard's accidental statement, Su couldn't help but intervene, and her words were incomparable. Obviously revealed the meaning of provocation.
Just like the old wizard, Su also saw Leo’s power. Although she had some reservations in the battle just now, and several powerful methods were not exhibited, she knew that even if she exhibited those methods, she was the most powerful. You can only let yourself escape from here, but you can't destroy the monster.
There is no doubt that Leo has now become the key figure to which the ultimate Neptune artifact belongs, so she must fight for Leo, otherwise her mission will fail this time.
"Ms. Su, I hope you don't bring the misunderstandings of the past to today's affairs." The old wizard Otto easily saw Su's thoughts. He didn't have too much entanglement with Su and lightly dispelled Su's provocation. , And then said to Leo, who was silent, "Please follow me, Mr. Leo."
After talking, without waiting for Leo to respond, he led the person back into the black meadow and walked towards a small hill covered by the black meadow.
In fact, the old wizard is also a test. If Leo keeps up, it means that Leo is not on the side with Su, at least not now, but if Leo does not keep up, then he will have to find another way. .
Seeing that the old wizard didn't say hello, he just left. Leo frowned, followed as if he had guessed the other's mind, a smile of disdain appeared on his face, and then gestured to Su beside him. , Stepped into the black grass.
Seeing Leo's reaction, Su couldn't help but have a worried look on his face, but he still led his own man to follow.
The group quickly reached the mountain road, then bypassed a hill, and came to a valley that was completely different from the depressed atmosphere formed by the surrounding black meadows.
The trees and plants here are normal, and they have not been eroded by the forces of the outside abyss. There are even some normal bees, butterflies, and beasts living in this valley.
In addition, the most striking in the valley is the tower of more than fifty meters in the center. There is no doubt that this is a wizard tower, and the tower is covered with complex Turing roots and runes. The magic circle, these symbols full of magical power continuously emit energy outwards, forming an invisible shield that protects the creatures in the valley from being eroded by the abyss of the outside world.
Although the valley is full of normal vitality, there are very few people. In addition to the four such as the old wizard, there are only a dozen people in the valley, and Willis and Mila, who were separated from Leo and others, are also here. It's just that their situation does not seem to be very good, and some seem to be restricted.
"Finally, I saw something gratifying!" Seeing Mila being supervised, Su smiled on his face, sarcastically speaking coldly, and waved hard at Mila.
Because there are no tall plants in the valley, Mila can easily see Su and others, and it can also be seen that they are not escorted, so her face is obviously not very beautiful.
Originally, she thought that there was no other person in Death Valley now, so she could finish her things successfully, but what happened was that there were other people in Death Valley, and some of them knew how Restraining her power, and even Willis had no time to transform, she was seized with weaknesses and subdued, as if these people already had a plan to deal with them.
And now seeing the old wizard who walked in the front, Mila immediately understood what was going on, and the expression that was originally ugly because of Su Xing's scourge, became more and more ugly.
When walking into the normal environment in the valley, the old wizard and others stopped and took off their leather coats and boots, handed them to the waiting people, and then changed into normal clothes.
Perhaps because of fear of Leo’s misunderstanding, the old wizard turned his head and explained again, "This clothes and leather boots contain some power. This power will corrode the normal environment, so it needs to be taken off."
After listening to Leo and others, they also took off their clothes and changed into their original clothes.
Then the old wizard came to Mila and said, "Ms. Mila, did you forget the conditions you promised when I allowed you to settle in the kingdom?"
"Are you talking about the same request under house arrest?" Mila snorted and said.
The old wizard Shen Sheng said: "Although it is like house arrest, at least you don't have to worry about the pursuit of the Yinyue tribe, and you don't forget, it wasn't me who forced you to seek refuge."
"Humph!" Mila knew that she couldn't say that she was an old wizard, so she didn't get entangled in this matter. She changed the subject and said, "You should know that that thing is not yours, it is a tribal thing."
"Yes, I know that it's a tribe's thing, but the question is what identity do you question me, Ms. Mila?" The old wizard smiled and retorted: "Don't forget, you are not a Mosang mainland tribe The people of the Alliance are also classified as traitors. Thank you readers, you are not qualified to question me, nor are you qualified to get this thing."
Mila knew that the other party was telling the truth, and she couldn't refute it. She only clenched her fists and wanted to punch the abominable old face.
However, she also knew that if she really did it, it would mean that with the assistance of the big shaman in the past, the protection agreement that was set up would be invalidated. In that case, she might be going to never The rest of the fugitive career is over, which is unacceptable to her who has been accustomed to a quiet life.
At this moment, Leo's voice suddenly entered, and asked, "Can I know what that is?"
Leo's sudden interruption was somewhat beyond the expectations of the old wizard, frowning slightly, and a look of embarrassment flashed on his face.
Although the old wizard concealed his expression very well, he was seen by Mila who had been staring at him, and at this time, Mila also had a thought in his mind, thinking that even if he could not get that thing in the end, he must It messed up the water and made the old wizard uncomfortable.
So, without waiting for the old wizard to change the subject, Mila couldn't wait to say: "It is the heart of a goddess of nature."
Hearing Mila’s words, Leo also showed an interesting look on his face, and confirmed: "What does that godlike look like?"
"What can it look like, a tree man!" Mila saw Leo's look and thought her bait was working, and immediately explained: "Just like the legend, the goddess of the Lord of Nature is that kind of The incomparably huge tree man is said to be hundreds of meters high."
Hearing Mila’s words, Leo instantly thought of the war weapons created by the spirit of nature, and those war weapons also appeared in the form of a tree man.
Thinking of this, Leo turned to the slightly shabby old wizard and asked, "Can I take a look at that heart?"
The reason why Leo is interested in this heart is mainly based on his understanding that the heart is both the energy core of that kind of tree weapon and its data core. Its hardness can guarantee that it can still be preserved after the death of the tree. For a long time, even a black hole may not be able to destroy it. It will only be destroyed after its internal energy is exhausted.
If the heart mentioned by Mira and the old wizard is really the energy core of the treeman weapon, then he has the opportunity to extract a part of the recorded data from this energy core, and may be able to obtain some useful things from this information. .
The old wizard didn’t know Leo’s plan, he just thought Leo had been tempted by the baby in his hand because of Mila’s words, so he hurriedly said,
If you just take a look, it’s nothing, but hope. Mr. Leo, don’t mess up, because that heart is related to the survival of our valley and whether it will be completely eroded by the abyss," perhaps it is still too light, so he added a tone: "If here If they fall into the hands of the abyss completely, then the abyss can use this as a springboard to erode our world, and then the Weilun world will be in danger."
Hearing the old wizard's words, Leo frowned.
He didn't resent the old wizard's pressure, but because the old wizard was wrong.
The old wizard believed that Death Valley was the last line of defense to protect Velen from the erosion of the abyss, but in fact, Velen had already touched the abyss before the death valley appeared, and it is still constantly in contact with the abyss, but the power of the abyss has never really been Having taken root in Velen, at best it just opened a door in the Velon world, guiding some unknown people into the world that has been influenced by the abyss, such as the town on the lake, such as Wangcheng and so on.
Although Leo knew very well that even if Death Valley fell into the hands of the abyss, it would be impossible for the abyss to invade the Velen world through Death Valley, but he did not intend to speak out, because he was also very clear, even if it was said, I am afraid The old wizard just thought that he was sophistry, and even thought that he really had thoughts about the heart, so there might be a conflict.
So he just nodded and said, "Please rest assured, I'm just curious about that heart, and never thought about keeping it."
Upon hearing Leo's answer, Mila showed a little disappointment, because with her understanding of Leo these days, Leo may be really not interested in the heart, not just talking about it.
Although the old wizard didn't know Leo, he was able to understand the situation from the slight expression on Mila's face, so he was a little relieved.
Subsequently, the old wizard agreed to Leo's request and led Leo and others into the wizard tower.
After entering the wizard tower, everyone soon discovered that the inside of the wizard tower was at least ten times larger than the outside form. The entire first level of the wizard tower was a simple small house made of wood. Leo's puzzled population question was answered at this moment, and the entire bottom floor was full of people, counting slightly, there were about two hundred people. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
After seeing the old wizard, these people saluted the old wizard very respectfully, and they also saw Leo and others.
It's just that when their eyes swept over Leo and others, they saw Willis in the crowd, all showing an angry look, and several people even released their blood power and became a werewolf and The blood race showed his teeth towards Willis, and Willis made some provocative gestures without showing any weakness, which angered those in Death Valley more and more.
It seems that if the old wizard is not there, they may have started fighting.
"It's all gone! He's a guest now. I don't want you to be too rude." The old wizard stood up to suppress the hostility between the two sides, and then led the crowd from the nearby spiral ladder to the upper level of the wizard tower.
Soon, a group of people came to the top of the wizard's tower, which was also the laboratory, bedroom and study of the old wizard. On the ceiling of this room, a turquoise green wooden heart was inlaid in a series of Turing In the middle of the root, the Turing root spreads the energy from the heart to the other places of the wizard tower, so that the wizard tower and its surrounding area have the power to resist the erosion of the abyss.
