The Golden Dragon's Claw is a legendary treasure that was cut down from a real dragon and shrunk by magic.

It was a surprise for Leonard from the Brotherhood of Purity.

Leonard hadn't been in possession of the golden dragon's claws for a long time, but he had already begun to believe in the legend a little.

The texture of gold is very soft, but this golden dragon claw is surprisingly hard, no matter what material is used to scrape it, it can't even leave a trace on it.

Even Leonard's use of fire magic up to a thousand degrees could not damage it in the slightest.

And what surprised Leonard even more was that he could feel that this golden dragon claw did contain a strange power.

This strange power is not pure magic or any other power, it is much more complex and pure, even the erudite Leonard does not know, the only thing that can be confirmed is that this strange power is terrifyingly powerful.

If he could channel the power into use...

"Golden Dragon's Claw... Legend has it that contains a treasure that can turn the world upside down..."

Leonard muttered to himself.

Power can bring everything.

If his magic power can be ten times stronger, then he will be nearly 200 years old, and he will be as energetic as he was when he was young and middle-aged.

"Besides, being a wizard means constantly exploring the unknown..."

From the moment he got this golden dragon claw and discovered that it contained powerful and unparalleled strange energy, he began to study frantically, and even the human demonization experiment, which had made a great breakthrough, was temporarily put aside.

He flipped through countless ancient books, listened to countless related legends, and finally obtained some key clues and information.

Perhaps, the next time the black moon falls, he can set up an ancient, long-lost magic array and unlock the secrets in the golden dragon's claws.

But, not long ago, the mysterious group of strangers appeared—for whom Leonard had no interest in the slightest, he didn't care why these people were so rich, he didn't care about the strange things these people had, and he didn't care about anything other than prolonging the little life he had left.

It's just that although Leonard had no intention of dealing with this group of outsiders, this group of outsiders took the initiative to find Archmage Leonard.

What shocked Leonard even more was that the gang seemed to know everything about him, both overtly and covertly.

He could even tell the names of the guys who had collaborated with him on human demonization research.

You know, many of those names are powerful dark wizards hidden deep in the middle of nowhere, and there are also many guys who are famous in the capital and are also court mages, except for him, no one should know these names.

And the strength of these outsiders also impressed him - the combination of these three outsiders can be on par with him in a short period of time, which is enough to prove the excellent combat effectiveness of the other party, although after a long time, it will be him who wins.

But what makes Leonard even more jealous is still to come-

The fellows took out a parchment scroll and told him plainly, "This is the Ancient Magic Array that can crack the secret of the Golden Dragon's Claw" and "the spell needed to activate the Ancient Magic Array".

When he opened the parchment, Leonard was stunned.

This "Ancient Magic Array" given to him by a stranger is exactly the same as the Magic Array that he found and restored himself, and it is much more detailed and complete!

The magic array is a very serious thing, and any small change or omission on it may make the magic array thousands of miles away from the intended effect, and the value contained in a fairly detailed and complete magic array diagram is far beyond the imagination of mortals.

"But how did these damn outlanders know who I am, how did they know that the golden dragon claws were in my hands, and how did these bastards find such detailed drawings and spells for the ancient magic array, and how did they know I needed this?"

These are the big question marks that echo in Leonard's head.

But no matter what, time is still passing little by little, which means that the life of the chief court mage is getting closer and closer to the end.

After thinking about it for a while, it was the day when the black moon came.

Archmage Leonard decides to unlock the secret of the Golden Dragon's Claw - and the drawings are to be done according to what the Outlander had given him.

"Whew-"

At this time, the chief court archmage Leonard took a deep breath and resolutely put the golden dragon claw in his hand on the large sandalwood table in front of him.

The Black Moon has already begun, and if you miss today, you will have to wait for many more months - a few months is really precious time for him who is already 200 years old.

On this large sandalwood table, a large piece of parchment was spread.

The parchment was filled with a strong and strange smell—blood, stench, and other messy smells that few people could distinguish.

Colorful and bizarre lines are drawn all over the large parchment, and many of them are embedded with large gems, spices, etc. - this is the long-lost ancient magic circle.

The golden dragon's claw was placed in the middle of the large parchment.

Archmage Leonard raised his staff embedded with a magical ruby in the air, aimed it at the ancient magic circle drawn on parchment, and began to chant rapidly...

“＠＃×￥）（×６＆！······”

The complex magic scales quickly read out of Leonard's mouth one after another, and at the same time, the magic power in his body began to surge, pouring into the ancient magic array.

As the magic spell continued, and a large amount of magic power was infused, the intricate lines drawn on the parchment began to glow faintly, and the spices scattered on the parchment began to emit a rich aroma as if they had been ignited.

The spells to be recited to activate this ancient magic array are unexpectedly long, and the amount of mana required is also amazing.

"Maybe I'm the only one in the entire Temoya Empire who has the ability to activate this ancient magic array and crack the secret of the golden dragon's claw..."

Leonard thought proudly in his heart as he continued to infuse the ancient magic array with magical power.

Whether it was the complexity of this magic circle and spells, or the amount of magic required to activate it, it was the highest level that Leonard had ever seen in his life, and Leonard could swear that no one could activate this ancient magic circle except him, at least in the entire Temoa court.

More than ten minutes have passed...

When Leonard was already sweating profusely and his mana was running out, the spell was finally coming to an end.

The ancient magic array on the parchment was already outlined with light, and every gem on it was burning like a flame, and the golden dragon claw in the middle of the magic array was almost like a small sun, emitting a strong light, illuminating the originally dim hut.

However, then, Leonard's complexion, which was still a little happy, changed greatly, and he saw a narrow black slit appear directly above the golden dragon claw, and almost endless violent energy gushed out from it, and at the same time, a pure white palm with a little blue suddenly stretched out from it...
