After coming out of the fog again, all the objects in front of him returned to the colors of the normal world. The leaves were green, the earth was yellow, and the sky was blue. However, this was not the place Leo entered in the first place.
Old Fort Josh is instead a strange swamp island. Around the island are a large number of corpses of swamp beasts such as crocodiles. Judging from the degree of decomposition, they must have been dead for several days.
From the details of the surrounding environment, Leo could tell that this was still Josh County. It looked like it was another entrance and exit into Death Valley. The corpses of swamp beasts around it were obviously left behind by people from Death Valley.
Not far away, the old wizard sat limply on the ground. The powerful energy fluctuations on his body also disappeared with the disappearance of the blessing witchcraft. He returned to his true strength again, just because of the side effects of the witchcraft.
, coupled with the excessive use of wizard artifacts, he was in a very bad state at the moment, his face was pale and bloodless, and he looked like he might die at any time.
However, these are just superficial illusions. Leo can still sense that the old wizard still has an extremely powerful force in his body, which is hidden and hidden. It is obvious that the old wizard is still wary of Leo, even if the two of them were talking to each other just now.
With assistance, he escaped the attack of the abyss monster, but the old wizard still listed Leo as someone who must be vigilant.
If Leo planned to take advantage of his current weakness to attack him with evil intentions, he would have powerful enough means to protect himself or even fight back.
Although Leo was disdainful of the old wizard's methods, he didn't say much. He stood at a distance that the other party could bear and said: "Now that the matter is over, what I promised you has been completed, and I want to return to the game.
It’s a special port. If you have anything to do, you can go find me there, but the price you have to pay for asking me to do things is not low, so you have to think clearly before you come to me.”
Just when Leo was about to turn around and leave, the old wizard suddenly asked: "Why? Why did you do that?"
"Why?" Leo frowned and looked at the old wizard in confusion.
I saw the old wizard placing the pocket that contained the Poseidon artifact on the ground beside him. The crack in the pocket was clearly visible. Obviously anyone with a little bit of eyesight could see that the crack could not have been cut with a blunt instrument.
It can only be cut open with a sharp weapon.
Leo was silent for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked: "Do you think that if the Ying royal family, which has already mastered a Poseidon artifact, obtains another Poseidon artifact and masters how to use it, what will happen next?
what happen?"
Hearing Leo's inquiry, the old wizard's expression froze slightly. He almost didn't need to think about what the British royal family was going to do, because he was also one of the participants in this plan, even if he didn't want to participate in it.
.
There is no doubt that the Ying royal family, which possesses two Poseidon artifacts, will definitely want to regain control of the Kingdom of Ying. Naturally, they are incompatible with the Kingdom Parliament and the lords. By then, a civil war that will affect the entire Kingdom of Ying will not be possible.
Avoided. No matter who is the final winner of the civil war, the Kingdom of England itself will suffer heavy losses, and may even lose its position as maritime hegemon.
By then, the victors of the civil war will inevitably launch a series of external wars in order to regain their position as maritime hegemons. As a result, the entire Kingdom of England may fall into decades of war.
The old wizard also does not want to see war happen, especially when his tribe has moved to the Kingdom of Inge. If a war breaks out, he and his tribe will inevitably become the main force in the royal war.
Encountering huge casualties was definitely not the result he wanted to see.
Although he failed to successfully retrieve the Poseidon artifact, which would cause him to lose some prestige and trust in front of the Ying royal family, he is still the palace wizard of the royal family, and still has advantages that others cannot have, so the rights in his hands will not
Reduced somewhat.
Thinking of this, the old wizard didn't say anything more, but closed his eyes slightly and rested quietly.
Leo knew that the old wizard had figured it out and stopped staying. After identifying the general direction, he walked towards a place where there might be people.
The entrance and exit of Death Valley is obviously located in the middle of the Josh Swamp. It took Leo most of a day to discover some man-made simple docks and a hunter's cabin on a river. It seemed that Josh County's
It was specially built by local hunters for hunting. He then walked downstream along the river. After about half an hour, he finally saw a small town.
This town is called Robert Town. It was originally just a small hunter's village. However, due to the rise of the leather industry, it has become the leather industry center of Josh County. Almost all the valuable hunters caught in Josh County
Game is sold here, making this one of the few prosperous towns in Josh County.
The reason why the town is called Robert Town is mainly because the original builder of this town was the legendary hunter Robert. This legendary hunter caught countless prey in his life. It was believed that there was no prey that Robert could not catch.
After the hunter died, the hunter's remains were buried in his hometown, and the hunter's hunting bow and other tools were placed in the town according to his will, and some admirers of the legendary hunter even built a specially built
The museum houses Robert's hunting bows and tools.
However, now this museum has developed into the largest hunter museum in the entire Kingdom of England. It not only stores the tools and weapons of various famous hunters, but also a large number of prey specimens, and even some rare specimens have attracted the attention of the Royal Academy of Biology.
Research will be salivating.
After arriving in the town, Leo went directly to a hotel, cleaned up the dust on his body, and then ordered some food. While eating in the room, he took out the harvest and looked at it carefully.
look.
Perhaps because he returned to the world of Velen, the color of the seed handed to him by the tree man's heart became more emerald, and Leo could clearly feel the life energy emanating from it.
Compared with the tree man seeds, the situation of the abyss crystal worm is very bad. Leo can hardly feel any energy fluctuations in this crystal worm, even the desire to devour it by the eyeballs of the abyss serpent and the chaotic stomach sac.
It has also been weakened to the extreme.
"It seems that there is indeed a power in the world of Velen that can suppress the abyss." The situation of the crystal worms made Leo couldn't help but come up with an idea. For this reason, he also tried to see the power of calling the eyeballs of the abyss serpent.
Although the process of calling the power went smoothly, with almost no obstacles, and it ran very smoothly within the body, until he guided this power to the outside world, the power effect exerted by this power was very weak, and it was obviously also influenced by the outside world.
The suppression of power.
This is a good thing. At least no matter whether the backhand left by the Tower Wizard in Death Valley plays a role or not, the power on the other side of the abyss cannot have much impact on the world here, provided that the people here do not
He seeks death by himself and provokes the power of the abyss.
After Leo only carefully checked that these two items would not be damaged when taken out in the world of Velen, he took the items back into the storage space. After that, he rested quietly while carefully recalling and organizing the reading in the wizard tower.
books.
Although the old wizard played a trick and let him stay in a library where all the witchcraft books had been removed from a high tower, he did not gain anything.
Not to mention the large amount of content related to tower wizards and witchcraft included in the life diary of the wilderness wizard. Just some rare books among other ordinary books that can no longer be found in the outside world are already very rewarding.
Most of these precious books are banned books. Judging from the year of publication, they should have been collected by Earl Drake.
The contents of these books themselves record the historical and geographical changes of Velen's world, as well as some unknown secrets, etc., but what really makes Leo feel most valuable are some notes left by Count Drake in these books.
These notes contain many real secrets about this world.
Although the old wizard has been with the Ying royal family for many years, he is not an intelligence agent after all, and his sensitivity to intelligence is very slow. Otherwise, he would not regard these books that record various world secrets as useless books.
, placed randomly in the library, and even given to Leo to read.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Leo's estimation, the value of the various intelligence and secrets he obtained from the books in the library has exceeded imagination. Once many secrets are released, they may cause internal turmoil in several countries.
, and even trigger a world war.
However, Leo is not interested in things like triggering a world war. He is interested in some hidden things behind these precious information, such as why Earl Drake knows so much precious information, many of which even involve...
Arrived at the gods.
Judging from Earl Drake's life, whether it is some of his deeds on the surface or his experience as a tower wizard, it shows that Earl Drake is absolutely incapable of building a world-wide intelligence network and detecting such
There is so much confidential information, so Leo thinks that the source of Earl Drake's information should be the High Tower. The High Tower has distributed the entire intelligence network to all parts of the world of Velen a long time ago. Only in this way can these secret information be explained clearly.
origin of.
But another question comes up again. What is the purpose of the tower collecting so much secret information, including the origin of some people's blood and so on?
If it was for power, to be able to secretly control countries around the world like the Orthodox Church, it would make sense.
But the problem is that throughout history, tower wizards have almost never participated in any important events that could influence the world situation, nor have they supported puppet spokespersons to control the world or kingdom for them.
Earl Drake can be said to be the tower wizard who is most involved in politics and the world situation. But even so, after he accomplished his goal, he did not covet any rights and returned to Death Valley to continue being a tower wizard.
's caretaker.
In Leo's view, the tower wizards are more like a group of observers hiding in the dark, recording everything they observe and not using any information they collect for their own benefit.
But does such a completely transcendent person really exist? Leo absolutely doesn't believe it.
There is also an Observer civilization in the universe of the Earth Federation. This civilization is very old and is one of the earliest civilizations in the universe. Although they are ancient and powerful, they have never invaded other civilizations. When they traveled in the universe, they encountered
After a civilization is established, it will only observe and record the development and evolution of these civilizations in secret.
At first glance, this civilization seemed harmless. For a long time, the entire universe thought so, until a spacecraft of a high-level observer encountered a cosmic storm. All the observers on the ship were killed, and the communication device also failed.
Destroyed in a storm, it was discovered and taken away by a passing scavenger ship.
Afterwards, the technicians on the scavenger ship cracked the recording device on the Observer's spacecraft and discovered the Observer's true intentions.
It turns out that the observers are not really just observing the progress and evolution of those civilizations. They also secretly collect the maternal cells of these civilized races, and secretly use these maternal cells to cultivate some clones with part of the observer's genes added, and then send them back to the world.
Within their respective civilizations, they secretly expand their genetic populations.
The reason why they did this is entirely because the observer civilization has developed to its limit, and it is difficult to go further to become a higher cosmic civilization. Moreover, due to some accidents, the fertility of the entire group has dropped to the bottom, and the birth rate of the group is far below
mortality rate.
In order to continue the race, the observer civilization came up with a plan similar to the parasitic vine. They searched for a new civilization in the universe, and then observed the race and culture of this civilization to see if it had the potential to become an advanced civilization, and then used this
The mother cells of the civilized race cultivated the semi-observer race and sent them back to civilization.
This kind of semi-observer can give birth to offspring just like normal people, but there is a high chance that some of the offspring they give birth to will only have observer cells dominant, and such newborns will be secretly brought back by the observer civilization.
Mother planet, cultivate and integrate into civilization, and use the civilization potential of these people to promote the development of observer civilization.
As soon as this news came out, it caused a great shock in the universe. Various cosmic civilizations began to check whether there were semi-observers within themselves. It was found that not only did semi-observers exist in ordinary cosmic civilizations, but also in several advanced civilizations.
Semi-observers, and there are many of them.
Leo didn't know how this matter was resolved in the end, because he was considered dead. He only knew that the issue of dealing with the observers had been discussed in the Supreme Council, but judging from the situation, it should be very unfavorable to the observer civilization.
And now the Tower Wizard collects all kinds of intelligence and spreads an intelligence network in the world of Velen. Leo instantly thinks of the Observer Civilization. Because the behavior trajectories of the two are surprisingly consistent, he also believes that the Tower Wizard must have something.
