Chapter 178

"What I said is true, I didn't lie to you. ”

The girl said urgently.

Leo closed his eyes directly.

Inside an old castle, Leo finally meets the woman in the portrait who looks like Roshan.

Compared to the portrait, she looked older now, and Leo could even see her flickering flame of life, as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

3001 years old, that's the age of the old grandmother.

Usually Morning Star can live for about 3,000 years, and she has really reached the limit of her life.

"You're here, Leo. ”

The old grandmother opened her eyes, and her eyes were very cloudy, and she was a little weak in her speech.

"Hello, old grandmother. ”

Leo placed his right hand on his chest.

"You're a descendant of Pamela, right?"

The old grandmother said.

Leo nodded.

"I didn't think that more than a hundred years had passed in a blink of an eye. ”

The old grandmother sighed, "How is she now?"

"She died very young. ”

Leo said, and after saying that, he told her about Pamela's situation.

The old grandmother was silent for a while, and then said, "She is really a dead-eyed child, in fact, with her talent, she can easily become a wizard. Back then, she was the little princess in the family and had a fifth-level talent, but her father was stronger and was a ......"

Then the old grandmother talked like a nagging old man.

Leo listened silently, and had a real understanding of Clement's family.

Since the Clements have been slow to break through to the Morning Star, they are very hopeful that someone will be able to achieve this goal.

Pamela's father was the one who had high hopes and was the one most likely to succeed.

But one day Pamela got a fragment that she had seen in the treasury of the Sage's Tower, and knew it was a fragment of the Godhead, so she offered it to her father.

Hearing this, Leo's heart almost stopped.

It was a surprise that the Sage's Tower had a fragment of Godhead.

And they know that this is a fragment of Godhead, and it may not be easy to get their hands on it.

When Pamela dedicated the fragment of Godhead to her father, he failed to merge and died, for which many people were angry.

In the end, the old grandmother defied all the crowd and banished her to another continent far away.

"Later we all thought it was a conspiracy, that the Fragment of Godhead had a name in the Morning Star, that is, the Cursed Fragment of Godhead, with a terrifying curse attached to it, and whoever fused it would die, even the great Throne of the Sun. Pamela and his father didn't know about this and ended up falling into the trap. ”

The old grandmother said.

But how could he be fine.

"Now that Clement's situation is probably clear, the family is in an unprecedented crisis. It's all my fault, I was born at the height of the Clement family. A sect of three Morning Star wizards controls the entire Sage Tower. ”

"So I developed the temper of the eldest lady and offended many people. Later, after being promoted to Morning Star, the people who offended him were even more powerful. And that's what it is. ”

The old grandmother sighed deeply.

"I'm going to die soon, so Leo, are you willing to stay and help the Clement family? ”

"I ......"

Leo pondered for a while, in fact, he already knew the answer in his heart, "I am willing, I am willing to contribute my own strength to the family." ”

For the shards of the Godhead of the Sage's Tower or for the Clements?

"It was so nice and it was the best birthday present I have ever received. ”

The old grandmother said with a smile, and then held his hand and kept talking.

The people around him all looked at Leo with a look of surprise.

It's been a long time since they've seen their old grandmother so happy.

"Come, follow me to the banquet, and let me introduce you to your relatives. ”

After saying that, the old grandmother stood up.

When she stood up, she was 5 meters tall, like a little giant, and Leo was like a child by her side.

She took Leo by the hand and took him to a banquet.

"Her name is Elisa, a generation older than you, but the family is very chaotic, if you like, just call her sister. ”

"Hello, Sister Elisa. ”

Leo said.

"Hello, Leo, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

A blonde woman said with a smile.

"His name is Sandy, he is 228 years old, several generations older than you, compared to you, he is a waste, and he is still a second-level wizard, you can call him whatever you want. ”

The old grandmother said coldly.

Hearing this, a thin white-bearded man looked embarrassed, and he hurriedly said, "Just call me Sandy in the future." ”

"Hello, Sandy. ”

Leo said with a smile.

He couldn't help but rejoice, if there was a group of grandfathers and grandmothers in the future, it would be terrible.

At the banquet, many people saw the old grandmother so happy, and they knew that he was very liked by the old grandmother, and they all treated him with the most friendly attitude.

After the introduction, the old grandmother led him out of the banquet room and into her huge room again.

Leo saw that her spirit was very bad, and her body was indeed failing, so he took his leave and left.

"You stay here for a few days, and then I'll let Claurese take you to your castle. ”

The old grandmother's eyes showed deep remembrance.

Leo nodded, and left with Claurelin.

An airship flew slowly through the air, Leo and Claureth standing on the deck.

Wearing a white robe, Laures was pointing down to give him a briefing on the territory.

"This territory is more than 100,000 square kilometers, with tens of thousands of people and various resources, making it a very rich territory. The old grandmother specially allocated it for you, and it seems that the old grandmother likes you very much. ”

Claudes said with a smile.

"Really?"

Leo was noncommittal, all he cared about was the fragments of Godhead.

However, the Pancion continent is really vast and sparsely populated, and there are only so many people in such a large territory.

"Your talent is good, and hopefully you will be able to break through the Morning Star one day. ”

Claureth said.

Half a day later, they came to a huge castle.

The castle was huge, covering an area of more than a dozen square kilometers, like a town, and a large number of servants and wizards were busy in it.

In the center of the castle stood a wizard's tower, emitting a terrifying aura of magic.

Seeing the airship in the sky, the people below did not panic, and still did their own thing in an orderly manner.

"Who are you? This is the territory of the Clement family, please leave here without permission. ”

At this time, there was a loud sound from below, and at the same time, there was a wave of spell fluctuations from the Witchcraft Tower, and Leo felt that he was actually locked.

A hint of gloom flashed across Leo's face, and anyone who was locked by his own men would not be happy.

Claures was also furious, "Don't they know that someone has come to take over the territory today? and the airship has a family mark on it, so I don't believe they can't recognize it." The airship descends into the castle. ”

In the face of the forced landing of the airship, the Wizard Tower did not attack after all.

After getting off the airship, a large number of wizards soon approached.

"I've seen Captain Laures. ”

The first white-haired wizard came up and spoke.

"Billy, don't you know that we're coming to take over the territory, why are you using spells to lock us down?"

Claureth said angrily.

"This ......"

The white-haired wizard looked embarrassed, and then said, "These are all misunderstandings, we thought someone was invading"

"Misunderstanding?"

Claurels couldn't help but sneer, "Why didn't you misunderstand before, but this time you misunderstood, will there be someone who will instruct you to do this." ”

"Nobody, absolutely no one. ”

Billy said quickly, but his eyes flickered, and people could tell that he was lying.

Flowers cursed angrily, and Billy became a shrunken turtle and let Lauress curse as much as he pleased.

However, Claurels also knew that eighty percent of the people who instructed him to do this were some family members who cared about this territory, and the palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, and she didn't want to delve into it, so this matter could only be handled by Leo himself.

"This is Leo Fairhouse, your new lord. ”

Claures said, pointing at Leo.

"I've seen my lord. ”

The old man hurriedly said respectfully.

"Hello. ”

Leo smiled and nodded, not in the slightest sign that he was angry at their provocation.

But the old man didn't dare to underestimate Leo, every third-level wizard was the backbone of the family, not comparable to him.

"Let's go inside the castle. ”

Lauris said, leading them to the castle, and asked the old man to report to him about the situation in the territory.

This territory is indeed the essence of the Clement family's territory, not only covering a vast area, but also rich in resources, just producing more than 100,000 magic stones every year, no wonder so many people are thinking about this territory.

He was surprised to find that all the servants in the castle were wizard apprentices from the realm.

They practiced the advanced meditation methods issued by the Clement family, and they had a special wizard to teach them.

Becoming a wizard will lead to becoming a retainer of House Clement, and then gaining the next level of meditation.

Some people with excellent qualifications can be recommended to enter the Sage's Tower, which can be the Clement family's help in the Sage's Tower.

In this way, the wizards in the territory have been used by the Clement family for generations, and have become the help of the Clement family.

However, Leo didn't care about all this, he only cared about one thing, and that was the fragment of Godhead in the Sage's Tower.

"I'm the only second-level wizard in the entire territory, and there is also a wizarding guard of 20 first-level wizards. They belong to the Clement family and are sent by the family to take care of the territory. ”

Billy continued.

"You can turn them into your personal guard if you want. ”

Claureth said.

"Okay, no problem. ”

Leo said with a smile.

Everyone looked at Leo in surprise, they all thought that he would kick out these untrustworthy people, but they didn't expect him to keep them.

"It was a really good choice. ”

Claures gave him a deep look.

"What do you think?"

Claudes glanced at Billy and the others again.

"I am willing to follow the rules of the family and become a member of the personal guard of the lord. ”

Billy said, just emphasizing the family's regulations.

Leo looked at Claureth with some confusion, what was the family code.

Claures introduces him to the fact that Billy also has a trace of the Clement family's bloodline, although these bloodlines are a little distant.

However, he still has various privileges, such as the right to refuse some unreasonable orders, and the right to appeal to the family if he is treated unreasonably.

Leo had a strange smile on his face, it turned out to be a hot potato.

"No problem, I'll treat Captain Billy well. ”

Leo said lightly.

Claudes felt a bit of a headache, and after the handover, she left the place.

When leaving, he still didn't forget to tell Leo not to use too drastic measures, otherwise the family would not look good.

Leo readily agreed, without the slightest embarrassment.

When Laures left, only Leo and the wizards remained.

Leo gave Billy and the wizards a faint look, and then said to Billy, "I'll come in with me." ”

Billy gave Leo a faint look, and then followed Leo into a room.

He had enough confidence, and he believed that Leo would not dare to do anything to him.

The other wizards were in a commotion, but they didn't dare to come in.

Leo sat down on a chair, tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and looked at Billy faintly.

Billy looked at Leo proudly, he already knew everything about Leo.

For this hillbilly from the witchcraft desert, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

"Who told you to do that. ”

Leo said.

"I don't understand what you mean by that?"

Billy said dismissively.

"Illusion. ”

Two blood moons suddenly appeared in Levi's eyes, and Billy's eyes immediately became confused.

"Answer my question. ”

"Myself. ”

"Why?"

Leo said curiously

"Because I coveted a large part of the output of the territory over the years, I was afraid of being discovered. ”

"How much are you greedy. ”

“......”

So Billy confessed, and when he came to his senses, his face was pale.

looked at Leo, who seemed to be smiling, and collapsed directly to the ground.

"Are you going to make up the proceeds of corruption, or are you to let me hand you over to the law enforcement team. ”

Li Wei said excitedly.

"I ...... I ......"

Billy's face turned pale, oh my God, what the hell did he do.

In the end, they decided to make up the proceeds of the embezzlement, and some of them could not pay them back for a while, so they could only pay it back slowly, and then Levi sent them out of the house.

In the Clement family, the old grandmother sat quietly in her chair, her face looking a little tired.

Laures held a bowl of fragrant green potion, and the old grandmother immediately looked better when she drank it.

"I'm old, it's really useless, and I'm tired just after a little exercise. ”

The old grandmother sighed and said, "But don't worry, I taught that fellow Marz a hard lesson, and I believe he won't dare to trouble you again." ”

Leo looked at her with an aging face in silence, and if it weren't for these eyes, he wouldn't have felt any of the majesty of the morning star from her.

Although only a month had passed, Leo felt that her soul fire was much weaker, and it was almost completely gone.

This is not a normal decay, it is a loss of life caused by the battle.

"Thank you. ”

Leo said.

Although he has mixed feelings for the Clement family, he must admit it.

"It doesn't matter, I'm your grandmother after all, and I need to shelter you from the wind and rain. ”

A kind smile appeared on the old grandmother's face, "But be careful when you go out, I'm afraid someone will assassinate you." ”

At this time, Leo's heart moved, and he remembered the assassination of Ophelia, which was really strange.

"Actually, I have something to say. ”

Leo said, and then said the same thing as the assassination.

The old grandmother's face grew more and more gloomy, and at last she became completely angry.

"These bastards, I'm not dead yet, they can't wait to do it? No wonder so many people I've been expelled from have died recently, and it turned out to be their hands. In that case, don't blame me for not following the rules. ”

Claureth glanced at him with some reproach, in this way, I am afraid that the old grandmother will do it again, which is not a good thing for the old grandmother's body.

"Are you very unhappy that I expelled Ophelia's mother?"

The old grandmother looked at him and said.

"A little. ”

Leo said.

In fact, he was very indifferent to this matter, and he was not as angry as he expected.

"You have to remember that this is a cruel world. If you want to control your own destiny, you must become strong at all costs, and the weak are not qualified to survive in this world, they only deserve to be like lambs. ”

The old grandmother said angrily.

Hearing this, Leo suddenly remembered that Glensianny's father had said the same.

It's a lawless, order-making world where the strong are right, and in a way they're not wrong.

"On the one hand, I hate her for not being angry, and on the other hand, I am worried about the future of the family. I made too many enemies for my family back then, which led to the current situation. I banished them and stripped them of their surnames, in the hope that after my death, the enemy would spare them for the sake of their unsurnamed Clement, and it seemed that I had been wrong. ”

The old grandmother said with a look of remorse.

Leo looked at her in shock, he never thought that there was such a reason.

"Don't worry, I will investigate this matter strictly, and once I find out who did it, I will make them pay. ”

A cold smile appeared on the old grandmother's face, "Ahem...... Ahem......"

At this point, the old grandmother suddenly coughed.

Flowers hurriedly took out a red bottle of potion, and the old grandmother drank it in one gulp.

"My health is getting worse and worse. ”

She chattered like an ordinary old man, while Leo listened quietly.

Finally, Leo took a chance and said, "I have one more thing I want to say, I want to join the Sage Tower. ”

"Yes, no problem. I am the Great Sage of the Sage Tower, and from today you will be a member of the Sage Tower. ”

The old grandmother said with a smile.

Leo expressed his gratitude.

Leo lived in the family for a few days and met some people by the way.

The Clement family is a very old family, with a large population and at least a few hundred direct bloodlines.

These people are distributed throughout the Pancion continent, and there are some third-level wizards among them.

It's a pity that none of these people were able to advance to Morningstar, which shows how difficult it is to advance.

What puzzled Leo was that he went to the Sage Tower, but found no trace of the Godhead fragment, could it be that it was also in the same secret realm as Rebecca Academy, and the unwilling Leo searched everywhere in the family and the Sage Tower.

In a somewhat eerie room, Leo was flipping through a book made of strange fur.

This fur is cyan and has strange patterns on it, and it is said to be the skin of a demon.

There are a variety of rare resources written on it, some of which are treasures from other worlds.

But Leo just hurriedly flipped through them, and they were no different from garbage compared to the Godhead fragments.

An old man with skin as dry as the bark of a tree drooped his eyelids, as if he were asleep.

This is the secret vault of the Clement family, and only the direct bloodline of the family can exchange good things that cannot be found outside here.

Some of these treasures are even reluctant to take out the Sage Tower, and only the old grandmother will take them out to train the younger generations.

When he finally looked at an object, Leo's pupils widened.

Divine power crystals?

There is such a thing.

It's just that there are exchange conditions on it, 20 million family contribution points, and it requires at least the cultivation of crystallization wizards.

"What is a Divine Power Crystal?"

Leo asked.

"A universal currency of the multiverse, a power crystal that only gods can condense, is a very expensive item that the old grandmother managed to obtain in other worlds. For wizards, this kind of thing is a bit of a chicken rib, and it is generally traded. ”

The old man said lightly.

The Morning Star Wizard has been able to leave this world for other universes, so it's no surprise that there are these.

Leo asked the fragment of Godhead in his mind if he could use the Divine Power Crystal.

The Godhead Fragment quickly gave a reply that could be used to cast divine spells.

Hearing this, Leo's face couldn't help but change greatly.

It was actually used to cast magic spells?

It's just incredible!

If he could cast a magic spell, wouldn't he be invincible.

Although it was only a short period of invincibility.

This Divine Power Crystal is going to be obtained no matter what!

Leo was quick to make a decision.

"My lord, is there any way to get the family's contribution?"

Leo asked.

The old man raised his eyelids, and then said: "There are many ways to contribute points to the family, such as contributing various resources to the family, magic stones, witchcraft knowledge, and travelogues, all of which are collected by the family. The second is to perform family tasks, such as serving as the captain of the wizarding guard, performing patrol missions, these are already the best family tasks. As for the specific mission, you can go and find Dorena, she is in charge of everything. ”

The woman I met that day?

A somewhat pungent image appeared in his memory.

"Thank you. ”

Leo said.

**

**

In an ornate manor, Leo found Dorena without incident.

At this time, Dorena was holding a banquet for some powerful wizards in the Sage Tower.

Many of them already knew Leo, and Pamela's father was hailed as the genius most likely to break through to the Morning Star, and many of them had experienced his death firsthand.

"Do you have anything to do with me? ”

Dorena said as she sat down in a chair and held a wine glass with a lazy expression.

The glass, made of colorless crystal, is carved with insulating runes to keep the drink at the perfect temperature at all times, revealing the Clements' roots as an ancient family.

"I want to take on some tasks that will earn Clan Contribution Points. ”

Leo said bluntly.

"You've got something in mind, and you want to contribute to the family so soon. ”

Dorena said with a smile.

"Divine power crystals. ”

Leo said.

Dorena couldn't help but frown, "That thing isn't cheap, and it's not of much use to us. Why do you want that thing. ”

"I'm useful for this. ”

Leo smiled faintly.

"Listen to my advice, 20 million contributions is definitely a huge number. If these are used to improve your strength, it is definitely enough to promote you to liquefaction, so why bother with divine power crystals. ”

Dorena said.

"I understand, I'm just interested in that thing, and I'm going to put my energy into improving my strength. ”

Leo said.

"Is that good? ”

Dorena said with a smile, "There are many tasks in the family, and there is a good one recently. The Third Wizard Guard lacks a wizard captain to patrol the family territory, and if you want, I'll give it to you. ”

"Are there any specific requirements for this mission?"

Leo asked.

"The captain also needs to be at least level 3 strength, which is the most basic requirement. ”

Dorena said, "Actually, this task is very easy, the captain only needs to sit in the headquarters and let his subordinates patrol. As long as it's okay, the task is to lie down and receive contributions. ”

Hearing this, Leo immediately agreed without hesitation, if he didn't agree to such a good thing, it would be unreasonable.

Next, he donated some things that he didn't need, and when he left the St. Nice continent, he brought a lot of supplies from the Crow Academy.

Although those things are not very valuable, after all, there are some materials unique to the Burial God Mountain Range, and in the end, they are exchanged for a lot of resources.

Coupled with the materials of Rebecca Academy, a total of more than two million contribution points were exchanged.

Looking at the gap of 18 million, Leo sighed deeply, there is a long way to go.
