"Since there is already an artifact as a forbidden item, why is this happening now?" Mira couldn't help but ask in a deep voice when she heard this.

The old wizard opened his mouth and didn't answer, but a wry smile appeared on his face, and Leo said thoughtfully, "Count Drake was also infected by the power of the abyss at that time, right?"

The old wizard did not deny it, nodded, and admitted: "He is indeed infected, but he extracts blood from the inhabitants of Death Valley to resist the power of the abyss through his own blood therapy, and infuses it into his body, so he can still stay awake." ”

"The blood cure was created by Count Drake?" One of the transcendents couldn't help but be shocked by what he heard now.

After all, blood therapy is notorious in the world of Velon, and the blood wizard Lawrence, who is the creator of blood therapy, is even more of a demon king in the dark world.

The old wizard shook his head and denied: "The blood therapy was indeed created by Count Drake, but this blood therapy and the blood therapy outside are completely different things, and the two are just a coincidence. ”

Later, the old wizard continued to tell the story of what happened next in Death Valley.

As the old wizard said, under the effect of the Poseidon artifact, the rift was sealed again, and Death Valley regained its calm.

It's just that, just like the wizard of the Tower who caused the trouble in the first place, Count Drake was also tempted by the abyss, and although with his amazing willpower, he temporarily resisted the temptation of the abyss, but this resistance gradually weakened with each resistance to the abyss.

At the time, Count Drake estimated that the Tower would send the next wizard to take his place, so that he could get out and use the help of other Tower wizards to drive out the power of the abyss from him.

But what Count Drake couldn't have imagined was that the tower at that time was deserted, and the tower wizards had all entered the wasteland and disappeared.

So within the allotted time, Count Drake didn't wait for a new tower wizard to take his place, and he understood that something might be wrong.

According to this, Earl Drake's original idea was to leave Death Valley temporarily, go outside to check the situation, and then think about the next step.

But at that time, there was a slight problem with the Seagod artifact used to seal the Abyss Rift, so he had to continue to sit in Death Valley and not leave a single step.

In order to find out what happened to the wizards of the Tower outside, Count Drake came up with a solution, which was to train an apprentice and then let the apprentice go outside to find out the situation instead of him.

So, he chose one of the most gifted people from among the inhabitants of Death Valley and took him as an apprentice, and this apprentice was the dwindling Harpy of the valley, known to Leo as the wizard of the wilderness.

Different from the werewolves and blood tribes in the valley, before these two races were created, there were already two evil god clans in the world of Velon, werewolves and blood clans, and the wizards of the tower at that time just grafted the blood of the two tribes to the two groups of residents of Death Valley through witchcraft, so the state of the two races is very stable, even if there are some blood defects, it will not have a big impact on them.

But the harpy people are different, they are completely according to the records of the legend, created out of thin air, and there is no similar family bloodline in advance, so the bloodline of the harpy is extremely flawed, and among these defects, the most serious is that the fertility of the harpy is very low, even if they are born successfully, many of them will die halfway, so the harpy is almost in a state of imminent extinction in the valley of death.

As a student carefully selected by Earl Drake, the Wizard of the Wilderness is naturally very good at learning witchcraft, and in just a few years, he has skipped the apprenticeship stage and become a full-fledged wizard.

At this time, Count Drake also sent the Wizard of the Wilderness out of Death Valley according to the plan, and after letting him go outside to find the other Tower Wizards, he brought the Tower Wizards back to Death Valley.

As for what the Wizard of the Wilderness experienced in the world of Velon, no one knows, and the old wizard only knows that the Wizard of the Wilderness has returned to Death Valley alone and brought back the news of the tower's disappearance to Count Drake.

Although Count Drake had long anticipated the situation in the tower, he was still very depressed when he heard the news from his disciples, and then locked himself in the wizard's tower and did not come out again.

Just as Count Drake did back then, the Wizard of the Wilderness also chose one of the inhabitants of Death Valley to become a wizard, and this wizard was also a Harpy, the old wizard in front of Leo's eyes.

When the old wizard told him about his identity as a harpy, except for Willis, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, and Leo, who was indifferent to it, everyone else seemed extremely surprised, and even Mira couldn't help but be curious, wanting the old wizard to look like a harpy.

However, just as Leo was not interested in his identity, the old wizard was not interested in anyone other than Leo, so he ignored Mira's request and continued.

Unlike wilderness wizards, the old wizard's own talent is only passable, and it is already remarkable to be able to become a wizard apprentice in a short period of time, and if you want to become a full-fledged wizard, I am afraid that it is not possible to do it in a short period of time.

And at this time, a new abyssal rift appeared in the valley of death, and a new divine artifact needed to be found to seal this rift, and there was another thing, which was also a problem in the mind of the wilderness wizards, that is, the reproduction of the harpy.

So, before the old wizard became an official wizard, the wilderness wizard gave the old wizard the task of guarding Death Valley, and he himself left Death Valley and went to the wasteland of Moissan.

The reason why the wilderness wizard chose the wasteland as his destination is because the gods of the other continents of the Velen world have gradually disappeared, and there are no god artifacts at all, and only the Moisan continent, which is still in an extremely primitive state, can have a barbarian god. Another thing is that the birthplace of the Harpy is in the wasteland, although it is only derived from ancient murals, but since there are murals, it must have been seen in the wasteland in ancient times, so he decided to go to the wasteland, killing two birds with one stone.

But just like the tower wizards who disappeared in the wasteland before, the wilderness wizards never came out after entering the depths of the wasteland, and even the people of the tribe did not enter the depths.

The old wizard didn't know about the Wizard of the Wilderness, but not long after the Wizard of the Wilderness left, Count Drake came out of his wizard's tower, and then handed the wizard's tower to the old wizard, and told the old wizard to go directly to the royal family of Inge if he had any difficulties, and he himself entered the depths of the rift and sealed the new rift.

The old wizard followed Count Drake's advice and got in touch with the English royal family, but at this time, the English royal family was already in decline and could not be compared with when Drake was knighted, but even so, the English royal family knew very well that if something happened to Death Valley, the English kingdom would inevitably bear the brunt, so they tried their best to help the old wizard within their own capabilities.

Of course, these help is not gratuitous, the English royal family put forward two conditions, one condition is that the old wizard becomes the court wizard of the royal family, and the second condition is that if there is no need for the Poseidon artifact one day, I hope to be able to return the Poseidon artifact to the royal family.

The old wizard agreed to the royal family's request and became the royal court's court wizard, and after confirming that the new rift had indeed been sealed by Earl Drake, he temporarily left Death Valley every year to serve on the royal family's side.

It's just that the old wizard didn't know that Count Drake was not only physically eroded by the power of the abyss, but also began to become like the original tower wizard in his mind, and began to get close to the abyss, study the abyss, and even take the initiative to contact the abyss.

For this reason, he also did a lot of experiments, but he was more clever, and did not experiment on the people of Death Valley, but on other creatures in Death Valley.

Although some mutant species will be produced in each experiment, because the power of the abyss often appears and spills out, some unknown mutated creatures have also appeared in Death Valley before, so that even if the old wizard discovers something, he will not be able to detect any abnormalities.

This didn't change until a year ago, when the old wizard left Death Valley again to routinely complete his duties as a court wizard.

The old wizard returned to Death Valley after serving as a court wizard for almost a year, but at this moment the Valley of Death was unrecognizable.

Mutated creatures infected by the power of the abyss spread throughout Death Valley, and only a small fraction of the original inhabitants who settled near the Wizard's Tower survived, while all others died.

From the survivors, the old wizard learned that not long after he left Death Valley, some of the inhabitants began to believe in an unknown god called the god of deep nothingness, and built a church specifically for this god, and under the influence of these residents, more and more people began to practice this religion, and only a small number of people remained awake.

However, there are so few people who stay awake and are regarded as outliers by the rest of the town, and the two sides often clash, and eventually develop to the point of fighting, this tense situation makes these sober people have to choose to leave the town and live near the wizard's tower, and this choice is the main reason why they survived.

As for the rest of the people, all disappeared after one night, and the entire creatures of Death Valley also mutated after that night, and only the valley where the Wizard Tower was located was preserved.

During this time, the survivors have also experienced many attacks by mutated creatures, but within the protection of the Wizard Tower, most of those mutated creatures will become very weak, and can be easily eliminated by these werewolves, bloods, and harpies.

It was also during this time that the survivors discovered that wearing leather boots and leather coats made from mutated creatures would not be attacked even if they entered the forests and meadows of mutated plants.

After listening to the survivors' introductions, the old wizard didn't know that something had happened to Count Drake, so he prepared to go to the church built on the chasm to check on the situation, but the abyssal monster that appeared outside the church blocked his way, making it impossible for him to approach the church.

In the absence of any other way, the old wizard had to want to move the rescuers from the outside, so that the real graveyard of Count Drake appeared, and the rumor that another Poseidon artifact was hidden in the real graveyard began to circulate in the dark world, and there were also many bounties for finding the Poseidon artifact in the black market, attracting a large number of people from the dark world to come to Joshshire and Death Valley.

"What a vicious strategy!" After listening to the old wizard's narration, Su, who was also a fool, couldn't help but sneer: "Take us as your pathfinder, you hide in the dark and wait for the greatest interests to appear, I don't think Leo's strength is completely beyond your expectations, I'm afraid you won't compromise!"

The old wizard shook his head slightly, and defended himself: "The strategy itself is not vicious, nor is it clever, as long as there is no greed, and there are no other thoughts about the Inge royal family and the kingdom, no one will be fooled, and it is their own choice to come to Death Valley, no one forces them, just like you, isn't it?"

"You ......" was ridiculed by the old wizard, and Su couldn't find the right words to refute it for a while.

Leo didn't have anything to do with the verbal argument between the two, he only cared about the practical issues, and saw him ask directly: "Before we came, how many groups of black market treasure hunters came for the Seagod artifact?"

"Twenty-three batches. The old wizard gave an accurate number.

Leo was silent for a moment, then asked, "You should have been in that church, right?"

"Why do you ask?" said the old wizard, slightly surprised.

Hearing the old wizard's rhetorical question, Leo became more and more sure of his speculation in his heart, and said, "Because of your reaction outside the town just now. ”

The old wizard was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I once entered the church while that monster was attracted to other people, but I came out quickly. ”

"What's in the church?" asked Leo.

The old wizard smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said: "I don't know, because I came out soon, and after I came out, I don't remember anything in the church, it's like the memory has been erased, the only thing that still exists is to feel ...... inside the church" Saying, he hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to say it, saying: "I feel close and disgusting, but more of a fear, as if there is something extremely frightening in the church." ”

After listening to the old wizard's words, Leo didn't continue to ask, or show any doubts, he just thought about it for a while, and then seemed to jump to another question, and said: "Since the Seagod Artifact is used to seal the Abyss Rift, why do you want to take the Seagod Artifact away now and return it to the royal family? Doesn't this make the situation worse?"
