The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The old wizard didn't lie, he was indeed surprised, and it was extremely surprising, not only that Leo had also been to Yam Island, and he left smoothly, and returned to Velen, but even more surprised that Leo could solve it so easily. A monster that haunts for months.

Originally, the old wizard asked the royal family to hire Leo, just wanting to borrow Leo's luck, because after all, Leo found the Poseidon Scepter, and he thought there might be some mysterious connection between the Poseidon Artifact and Leo, so he put Leo said that he might be able to retrieve the Seagod Artifact.

However, it never occurred to him that Leo was so powerful that he could easily deal with that monster, and unlike others, he could clearly feel that the lightning witchcraft used by Leo was full of destructive power. It was a destructive force he had never felt before.

Although Leo's strength can make things go much smoother in the future, it completely deviates from the old wizard's original intention, because Leo appeared with Su.

The old wizard knew very well what Su was here for, and he even put Su in on purpose in order to attract the attention of the special bureau, but he never thought that Su knew Leo, and judging from the situation of the battle just now , The relationship between the two seems to be pretty good, which made him wonder.

If Leo is just an ordinary person in the dark world, then the old wizard can easily control him, but the problem is that Leo's power is too strong. He also didn't know whether the Seagod Artifact would return to their hands.

It is also for this reason that the old wizard did not want to take advantage of the opportunity of the monster blocking the way to be wiped out to enter the church. Instead, he chose to slow down and confirm Leo's thoughts before proceeding to the next step. Otherwise, He would rather keep the Seagod artifact in the church.

"The trap didn't succeed, it turned into an accident. Old Otto, you are still as cunning as before." When Leo hadn't expressed his attitude towards the old wizard's accidental statement, Su couldn't help but interjected, and her words were extremely cunning. Obviously showing the meaning of provocation.

Just like the old wizard, Su also saw Leo's strength. Although she had reservations in the battle just now and didn't use several powerful methods, she also knew very well that even if she used those methods, she would be able to at most He could only let himself escape from here, but could not destroy that monster.

There is no doubt that Leo has now become the key figure in the final ownership of the Seagod Artifact, so she must win Leo, otherwise her mission will fail this time.

"Ms. Su, I hope you don't bring past misunderstandings to today's matter." The old wizard Otto could easily see Su's thoughts clearly. He didn't get too entangled with Su, and dismissed Su's provocation lightly. , and then said to the silent Leo: "Please follow me, Mr. Leo."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Leo's response, he led the people into the black grass field again, and walked towards a small mountain path covered by the black grass field not far away.

In fact, what the old wizard did was also a test. If Leo kept up, it meant that Leo didn't stand by Su's side, at least not now, but if Leo didn't keep up, then he had to find another way .

Seeing the old wizard leaving without saying hello, Leo frowned, followed as if he had guessed the other party's mind, with a disdainful smile on his face, and then gestured to Su who was beside him. , stepped into the black grass.

Seeing Leo's reaction, Su couldn't help showing a worried look on his face, but he still led his people to follow.

The group of people quickly walked to the mountain path, then bypassed a hill, and came to a valley that was completely different from the oppressive atmosphere formed by the surrounding black grass.

The trees and plants here are all normal, and have not been eroded by the power of the abyss outside at all. There are even some normal bees, butterflies, and beasts living in this valley.

In addition, the most eye-catching thing in the valley is the 50-meter-high tower in the center. There is no doubt that this is a wizard tower, and the tower is full of complicated Turing roots and runes. The magic circle, these symbols full of magical power continuously radiate energy outwards, forming an invisible protective cover, protecting the creatures in the valley from being eroded by the power of the abyss outside.

Although the valley is full of normal life, there are very few people. Except for the old wizard and four others, there are only a dozen people in the valley. Willis and Mira, who were separated from Leo and others before, are also here. It's just that their situation doesn't seem to be very good, and some seem to be restricted.

"Finally saw something worth being happy about!" Seeing Mira being guarded, Su showed a smile on his face, sarcastically sarcastically, and waved vigorously towards Mira.

Because there were no tall plants in the valley, Mira could easily see Su and the others, and she could tell that Su and the others were not escorted here, so her complexion was obviously not very good.

Originally, she thought that with the current situation in Death Valley, there must be no one else here, so that she could complete her own affairs smoothly, but what she didn't expect was that there were other people in Death Valley, and some of these people knew how to Restraining her strength, even Willis was subdued by her weakness before she even had time to transform, as if these people had already had a plan to deal with them.

And now seeing the old wizard walking in the front, Mira immediately understood what was going on, and the ugly expression that was originally ugly because of Su's gloating behavior became even uglier.

When walking into the normal environment in the valley, the old wizard and others stopped, took off their leather jacket and boots, handed them to the people waiting, and then changed into normal clothes.

Perhaps because he was worried about Leo's misunderstanding, the old wizard turned his head and explained again, saying: "The clothes and leather boots contain some power, which will corrode the normal environment, so they need to be taken off."

After hearing this, Leo and the others followed suit by taking off their clothes and changing into their original clothes.

Afterwards, the old wizard walked up to Mira and said, "Ms. Mira, have you forgotten the conditions you agreed to when I allowed you to settle in the kingdom?"

"Are you talking about the request that is tantamount to house arrest?" Mira snorted coldly and said.

The old wizard said in a deep voice: "Although it's like house arrest, at least you don't have to worry about the Yinyue tribe's pursuit, and don't forget that you came to ask for my protection at the beginning, and I didn't force you to be restricted."

"Huh!" Mira knew that she couldn't talk to the old wizard, so she didn't bother with this matter at all, changed the subject, and said, "You should know that thing doesn't belong to you, it's something from the tribe."

"That's right, I know it's something from the tribe, but the question is, Ms. Mira, in what capacity are you questioning me?" The old wizard smiled and retorted: "Don't forget, you are no longer from the Mosang mainland tribe. People from the alliance are gone, and they are classified as traitors, thank you readers, you are not qualified to question me, nor are you qualified to get this thing."

Mira knew that what the other party said was the truth, and she couldn't refute it, so she could only clenched her fists tightly, wanting to punch that nasty old face fiercely.

However, she also knew that if she really did something, it would mean that the protection agreement made before with the secret assistance of the great shaman would be invalidated. The fugitive life has come to an end, which is unacceptable to her who has long been accustomed to a peaceful life.

At this moment, Leo's voice suddenly came in and asked, "Can I know what that is?"

Leo's sudden interruption was somewhat beyond the old wizard's expectation, he frowned slightly, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Although the old wizard hid his expression very well, it was seen by Mira who had been staring at him. At this time, a thought came to Mira's mind, thinking that even if she couldn't get the thing in the end, she would It muddied the water and made the old wizard miserable.

Therefore, before the old wizard opened his mouth to change the subject, Mira couldn't wait to say: "It's the heart of a descendant of the Lord of Nature."

Hearing Mira's words, Leo also showed an interested look on his face, and confirmed, "What does that descendant look like?"

"What else can it look like, it's a treant!" Seeing Leo's expression, Mira thought that her bait had worked, and immediately explained: "Just like in the legend, the descendant of the Lord of Nature is that kind The huge treant is said to be hundreds of meters tall."

Hearing Mira's words, Leo immediately thought of the war weapons created by the spirit of nature, and those war weapons also appeared in the form of tree people.

Thinking of this, Leo turned his head to the old wizard with a slightly indifferent face, 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 not only the energy core of the treant weapon, but also its data core. Its hardness can ensure that it can still be preserved after the treant dies. For a long time, even a black hole may not be able to destroy it, and it will only be destroyed after the energy inside it is exhausted.

If the heart mentioned by Mira and the old wizard is really the energy core of the treant weapon, then he has the opportunity to extract part of the recorded data from this energy core, and maybe he can get some useful things from this data .

The old wizard didn't know what Leo's plan was, he just thought that Leo had been moved by the treasure in his hand because of Mira's words, so he hurriedly said: "If you just take a look, it's nothing, but I hope Mr. Leo, don't mess around, because that heart is related to the survival of our valley, and it is also related to whether this place will be completely eroded by the abyss." Maybe he felt that the words were still too light, so he emphasized his tone: "If here Completely fall into the hands of the abyss, then the abyss can use this as a springboard to erode our world, and then the world of Velen will be in danger."

Hearing what the old wizard said, Leo couldn't help frowning.

He didn't dislike the old wizard's pressure, but because the old wizard said something wrong.

The old wizard thinks that Death Valley is the last line of defense to protect Velen from the abyss, but in fact Velen has been in contact with the abyss long before Death Valley appeared, and he is still in contact with the abyss constantly, but the power of the abyss has never been real. Having taken root in Velen, at best it just opened a door in the world of Velen, leading some people who don't know the details to enter the world that has been affected by the abyss, such as Lake Town, and Wangcheng and so on.

Although Leo knew very well that even if Death Valley completely fell into the hands of Abyss, it was absolutely impossible for Abyss to invade the world of Velen through Death Valley, but he did not intend to say it, because he also knew very well that even if he said it, I am afraid The old wizard only thought that he was sophistrying, and even thought that he really had thoughts about that heart, so there might be a conflict.

So he just nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm just curious about that heart, and I didn't think about keeping it."

Hearing Leo's answer, Mira showed a little disappointment, because based on what she knew about Leo these days, Leo might be really not interested in that heart, not just talking about it.

Although the old wizard didn't know Leo well, he was able to understand some things from the subtle expression changes on Mira's face, so he was a little relieved.

Afterwards, the old wizard agreed to Leo's request and led Leo and others into the wizard tower.

After entering the wizard's tower, everyone soon discovered that the inside of the wizard's tower was at least ten times larger than the outside. Leo's perplexed population question was answered at this moment, the entire ground floor was full of people, counting a little, there were about 200 people.

After these people saw the old wizard, they all saluted the old wizard very respectfully. At the same time, they also saw Leo and others.

However, when their eyes swept over Leo and the others, they saw Willis in the crowd, all of them showed annoyed expressions, and some of them even released the power of their own blood, turning into werewolves and The vampire showed his teeth like a demonstration towards Willis, and Willis made some provocative gestures without showing any weakness, which angered the people in Death Valley even more.

It seemed that if the old wizard hadn't been there, they might have started fighting.

"Let's all go away! He is a guest now, I don't want you to be too rude." The old wizard stood up and suppressed the hostility between the two sides, and then led everyone to the upper level of the wizard tower from the spiral staircase next to it.

Soon the group arrived at 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 wooden heart shining with turquoise light was inlaid in a series of Turing In the middle of the root, and the root of Turing transmits the energy emitted by the heart to other places in the wizard tower, so that the wizard tower and its surrounding areas have the power to resist the erosion of the abyss.
