Inside the palace of Temoa, somewhere in the palace.

In the luxurious and empty palace room, the light is dim, and the only thing that can serve as a light is a few candles that are not very bright.

Leonard, who was the chief archmage of the royal court of Temoa, stood quietly, and in the flickering candlelight, he could see the noble archmage holding a golden object in his hand.

It is the "Golden Dragon Claw" that the reincarnation team and Zhao Li are looking for.

Leonard held up the "Golden Dragon Claw" in his hand, which was about the size of his palm, and looked at it again in the candlelight.

Dragons, which exist only in legends in this world - of course, this refers to the real dragon, the kind of terrifying dragon that is huge, has a long neck and tail, and can cause hurricanes with wings, and can breathe lightning or fire from its mouth, this kind of dragon, this kind of dragon, there is no such thing in this world.

The only thing in this world is the beast-like monster pterosaur, about the size of two or three people, foul-smelling and ugly, and only spitting highly poisonous saliva, this disgusting "dragon", Leonard has even killed a lot.

But the Golden Dragon's Claw, according to a hidden and distant legend, was cut from a real dragon and shrunk by magic.

Leonard ran his finger over the surface of the golden dragon's claws, and there was some ridiculousness in his heart to believe the legend.

Needless to say, Leonard, the Chief Court Archmage, is recognized as the best, most learned, and most powerful White Wizard in the world, at least in the entire Temoa Empire, and is widely praised and loved.

From the age of twelve, when he became an apprentice wizard, he showed a great knowledge and understanding of magic, and by the age of twenty he became a full-fledged wizard – quite an achievement.

For more than 100 years, Leonard traveled extensively in dozens of countries and territories, and although he was not a demon hunter, he was like a demon hunter, solving problems for poor people who met monsters along the way.

It wasn't until thirty years ago, when he looked in the mirror that he found himself extremely old, that he quietly remembered that he was nearly one hundred and seventy years old, an age at which even among those with extraordinary abilities known for their longevity had completely crossed the twilight of his life.

For the first time in hundreds of years, Leonard, who had never panicked even in the face of the most powerful monsters and the most dangerous magic out-of-control, felt a deep fear - the fear of death.

He didn't want to die, he didn't want to die at all, the world of magic was so vast and profound that even if he was as knowledgeable as he was, it was only a drop in the ocean, and he wanted to hear the story of the bard again, he didn't want to be a handful of loess.

"It would be a pity for the whole world. Leonard thought that he had the power to be conceited.

Leonard ended his more than 100-year life of travel, returned to his native Temoa Empire, and accepted the invitation of Emperor Temoa to become the royal chief court mage.

On the bright side, he is a knowledgeable, amiable, and decent white wizard who is dedicated to the study of magic, but in the unknown underground...

Leonard began to learn about dark magic - there was no way, the spells of decent white wizards would not teach people how to prolong their lives, or even gain eternal life.

With nearly 200 years of magical experience, learning dark magic is no joke at all—the speed is really the same as opening a hanging.

Within a few years, Leonard had developed a deep knowledge of dark magic, and had a definite goal and idea - he wanted to steal, or rather gain, the long life of the monsters, knowing that even the weakest demons could easily live for two or three hundred years - if they were not killed.

However, it is too difficult and too large to combine demons with human beings to obtain the powerful power and vitality of demons while maintaining human sanity and consciousness.

To this end, Leonard began to look for like-minded partners to cooperate with - he believed that even among the white wizards who represented justice, there would be many people who were afraid of death like him, no, it should be said that they were unwilling to die, and the longer they lived, the greater their contribution to the world.

Leonard began to cautiously test the other wizards—starting with the old ones who were in their twilight years and had few days to live.

Contact, Exploration, Development, Cooperation...

Things went more smoothly than Leonard had imagined.

Sure enough, he wasn't the only old wizard who didn't want to die...

"It's just that those old fellows have no other way but to wait for death!" Leonard even thought with some pride in his heart that he was the only one who had found a new way.

If he succeeds, he will be the hero of the entire wizarding world—nay, maybe the whole world will sing for eternity.

Of course, in the course of this contact, Leonard also met some stubborn and unsure guys, who refused his research invitation, and even said that they wanted to expose him...

For this reason, Archmage Leonard must not deal with many such guys, either openly or covertly, or with false hands.

Under the leadership of the erudite and powerful archmage Leonard, a large number of wizards began to devote themselves to the study of human body demonization in secret...

Soon, new problems arose.

The magic of the human body is not to write and draw on a parchment scroll or meditate in your mind.

It takes a lot of money, materials, and... Subject, a human subject.

"It's all come this far, how can you give up because of these little things?" Leonard will never forget his decision.

Although it was not easy to solve the problem of money, materials, and test subjects at the same time, Leonard still came up with a solution.

He had to reach out to the mortal society...

In the more than 100 years he has traveled around the world, Leonard has met too many liars, madmen, and cultists, and he is familiar with their operations and knows their power...

But those scams and cults he has seen are not perfect, there are always all kinds of flaws, and he still has to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and bring together all the advantages that can be used to form a truly effective one that can help him... Stuff.

This was not difficult for the erudite Leonard, and it didn't take long for him to set up a small organization, an organization that could help him solve the difficulties of money, materials, and test subjects...

This is the original Pure Brotherhood.
