Chapter 607: An Awkward Dinner
Leo didn't reply, but turned to look at Saran to see what she had to say.
"It's okay, let's sit down too!" Saran reacted quickly, nodding at the three assistants behind the Desert Realm Witch, and said with a smile, "I don't think there will be any more people coming, these chairs are empty here." ”
Hearing Saran's words, not only the three witches of the desert country, but even Sylvia frowned slightly, but none of them objected to Salan's proposal, as for the three witches standing behind them, they did not sit in the seats belonging to the witches according to Saran's instructions, and still stood behind the three witches honestly.
"I think Mr. Leo already knows who these three are, so I won't go into details. Saran made a brief introduction, saying, "This is Mr. Leo Dodd, Sylvia's invited assistant. ”
"Leo Dodd?" said the sand witch Gigi frowned, turning to the two companions beside her, and asked, "This name is familiar, where have you heard it?"
"Leo Dodd of the Inge. Priest Rain thought for a moment, looked a little more serious, and said, "The only survivor of Nine Golden Oak Street." ”
Hearing this, the expressions of the three witches of the desert all became serious, and the faces of the three people in the dark world behind them also showed a look of surprise.
You must know that in the dark world, Nine Golden Oak Street in Miria City is definitely one of the most popular places in the world of Velon, and there are countless people who have entered Nine Golden Oak Street and have not come out, including some strong people who are famous in the underground world.
Leo's entry into 9 Golden Oak Street is no secret, and Old Man Rembrandt has regretted his agreement with Leo more than once when mentioning Leo, allowing Leo to enter 9 Golden Oak Street, and because of Old Man Rembrandt, Leo has been specially marked in the names of some people who enter 9 Golden Oak Street.
Although nothing spectacular happened to Leo when he returned to the world of Veron, the place where he appeared was in the ruined city of Miria, where the eyes of all the countries and organizations in the world were staring at it at that time, and many people with a little status would pay attention to it.
And people like Sylvia and Vaschi are naturally the focus of attention, especially after Vaschi separated from Leo, he passed the news of Leo's return from No. 9 Golden Oak Street to the old man Rembrandt in Moissanity through special channels, and although this news has gone through a series of secrecy measures, it is still known to some people.
Therefore, the dark world also caused some fluctuations because of this news, after all, there were many people who died at 9 Golden Oak Street back then, and these people also had a lot of relatives and friends, and they also wanted to know the specific situation of 9 Golden Oak Street.
It's just that the black market obviously wants to monopolize the secret of 9 Golden Oak Street, so it doesn't sell much information about Leo publicly, let alone Leo's current address.
In fact, Leo already knew about the black market when he entered the black market to conduct various transactions, because the head of the black market in Port Sette had hinted that Leo was willing to buy all the information about 9 Golden Oak Street at a high price.
It's a pity that the black market can't get what Leo wants, as for money, with Leo's current financial resources, the price is less, Leo can't look down on it, the price is too much, and the black market can't take it out, and the matter will end up in the end.
It's just that the black market's protection of Leo's various information still exists, because Leo is not only a survivor of 9 Golden Oak Street, but also a wizard who can make wizard potions, and the black market naturally does not want a third party to take a share of the wizard potions.
Therefore, now the Three Witches of the Desert only know about Leo as a survivor of No. 9 Golden Oak Street, as for other things, such as Leo's ability and so on, they don't know.
It's just that the three witches were able to thrive in an ancient kingdom like the Savile Kingdom, where traditional thinking was extremely stubborn, and their power was monstrous, relying not only on their witch abilities, but also on their own wisdom, they were naturally not stupid enough to think that Leo would become a survivor only because of good luck.
Therefore, their previous dissatisfaction with Leo sitting in the witch's seat without permission was also suppressed, and they began to look at Leo as a transcendent person of the same status.
"Ma'am, how do you know that no one else will be coming?" asked Saran, perhaps to ease the awkward atmosphere of the moment, Thran the Firebather, taking advantage of the servant in the castle serving food.
"Because they have already sent someone to bring me the news of their incoming. Saran explained briefly, and then couldn't help but look at Leo.
At this moment, Leo's eyes fell on the castle servants who were serving the dishes, and almost everyone could tell from the expressions and almost the same standard movements of these servants that these castle servants were probably not real people, but puppet people created by Saran through some kind of power.
They were also amazed by Saran's craftsmanship, because the appearance of these puppeteers was exactly the same as real people in every way, except that there were no normal human expressions.
But Leo obviously knew better what these so-called puppets were than everyone present, because he had been one of them in the past, and these so-called puppets were all cyborgs, and they were low-level service cyborgs.
The reason why Leo recognized these as low-grade service cyborgs so easily was because the bones of these cyborgs were made of a degaussing metal, and Leo could clearly feel the demagnetizing force field coming from these cyborgs.
Seeing these cyborgs who had been rediscovered by Saran and tried out their illnesses, Leo felt a little emotional, and his eyes stayed on these servants a little longer.
Leo didn't hide his expression, not only Saran noticed it, but even Sylvia, who was sitting next to him, noticed it, and thought that Leo was interested in the production methods of these puppeteers, so he said: "The process of these puppeteers is very complicated, and the best craftsmen in the world that Ms. Saran has found no way to make a new one." ”
"If Mr. Leo likes it, I'll give you one, shall I?" said Saran as Sylvia's introduction stopped.
After saying this, everyone's eyes fell on Saran, and then moved back and forth on Saran and Leo, as if trying to see if the two were hiding some relationship.
All the witches present knew that the Ice Queen had taken a fancy to a puppeteer in the castle and wanted to buy it from Saran for a large sum of money. The heavy gold here is the real heavy gold, a complete county and the corresponding earl title.
However, in the face of such a major offer, Saran rejected the Ice Queen's offer without even thinking about it, but now she wants to give Leo a puppeteer worth a county town, which is simply an incredible thing in the eyes of the witches.
What's even more incredible is Leo's answer, I saw that he shook his head and said bluntly: "Thank you for your kindness, this thing is useless to me, so you better keep it in your hands!"
Saran couldn't help frowning slightly at Leo's direct rejection of his kindness, but he didn't say anything more, and quietly ate the exquisite dishes on the table.
Maybe because of Saran's mood, the atmosphere in the whole lobby is also very bad, everyone is bowing their heads to deal with the food in front of them, and an embarrassing atmosphere is shrouded in the lobby, making everyone feel uncomfortable, and everyone has not finished eating the food in front of them, so they just find an excuse to go back to the area where they live.
"Why would you refuse Lady Saran's kindness?" asked Theran the Firebather, who was back in his room, as he couldn't help the doubts in his heart, and turned to Leo, who was picking up a book to read.
"Why can't I refuse Madam Saran's kindness?" asked Leo rhetorically.
Faced with Leo's rhetorical question, Theran didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only roll his eyes at Leo to show his dissatisfaction with the other party.
"I think you're doing a good job. Sylvia didn't want Leo and Saran to get too close, and Saran had just been deflated on Leo which was what she wanted to see, so she had a satisfied smile on her face.
Leo looked at Sylvia with a smile on his face, and didn't know how to explain for a while, what he did just now was actually just to avoid being watched by Saran, so he could only change the topic and said, "There are no new witches coming now, so when will we enter the Luxury Forest?"
"It should be after the blood exchange ceremony. Sylvia explained, "During the blood exchange ceremony, a portion of my blood will be transfused into your body, and if you don't show any rejection, we will be able to enter the Luxe Forest, otherwise you will not be eligible to enter." ”
"So troublesome?" Leo frowned, although he didn't dislike Sylvia's blood integrating into his body, but he also knew very well that once the blood type did not match, then rejection would inevitably appear, and even if he was still alive at that time, his strength would probably be greatly reduced.
"Are you worried about the Blood Exchange Ritual?" Sylvia vaguely guessed Leo's thoughts, so she explained, "Rest assured, this ritual has been going on for hundreds of years, and there have been countless times, and there has never been a single failure. ”
Leo asked again, "This blood exchange ritual and the blood healing technique outside ......"
Sylvia said, "Blood healing originated from our transfusion ritual, but the core method has been completely modified beyond recognition and has no connection anymore. ”
"Can you elaborate on that?" Leo asked.
"I'll tell you! After all, I've already performed a blood exchange ritual. Seran the Flame Bather took the initiative to speak, and said, "The blood exchange ritual is actually not only practiced by you, but also by Sylvia, by taking a part of your blood from each other, and then through a special ritual, channeling the power from the unknown realm, so that the blood will merge together, and then divide it into two parts and re-enter your body. Over a period of time, the breath of life between you will merge with each other, so that you can be deceived by the prohibition of the Luxury Forest, allowing you to bear the adverse effects of the prohibition at the same time. ”
As she spoke, she paused, turned her head to look at the bookcase, then pulled out a book from it, opened it to a certain chapter, handed it to Leo, and said, " Blood healing originated from a friend assistant invited by a former witch to participate in the blood exchange ceremony, he felt the effect of the blood exchange ceremony, but he didn't know how to guide the power of the unknown realm and complete the most important step of the blood exchange ceremony, so he could only directly and rudely exchange blood according to his own ideas, and finally this method developed step by step, and finally completed the final transformation in the hands of the blood wizard Lawrence, and became the current blood healing technique. ”
Leo took the book that Thuran had handed him and looked at the chapter she had pointed out, where he saw a very familiar name, which had something to do with the history of the founding of the medical school, a man who had a key influence on the creation of the medical school, if not the founder of the medical school.
After learning more about the situation, Leo didn't ask any more questions, while Sylvia and Thran continued to discuss with Leo some accidents that might encounter in the Luxury Forest, and the corresponding countermeasures.
For the next two days, Leo had a very quiet time, and did not encounter anything that caught his attention.
In addition to reading all the books on the bookcase and recording them in his database during this time, he also tried to activate the Tower Wizard's locator again, but it was obvious that the locator did not move at all.
Although he was not able to discover the specific use of this object from the locator, he was surprised to discover the origin of this locator from the books collected by Saran.
This locator is called the Tower Key, and only those who hold this key are eligible to enter the various worlds of the Tower Wizard, since there is a key, there should naturally be a door, so if you want to use this key, you must first find every door that the Tower Wizard hides.
Interestingly, the book that records the name and function of this locator mentions the location of the gates to the wizarding world of the Three Towers, two of which Leo already knows, one in the lighthouse and the other in the basement of Venaya Harbor.
In addition to these two, there is also a door that surprises Leo, and this place is in the city of Pardu, Arsha, which is known as the birthplace of vampires and werewolves.
Although Leo didn't have any evidence yet, he had a vague feeling that the vampires and werewolves in Yasha County had something to do with the world of Tower wizards.
During this time, Sylvia took a little blood from Leo, and then mixed her own blood with it in front of Leo, put it into a very fine crystal container, and left this special subspace plane with Saran with the blood.
The next day, when she returned, the blood in the crystal container had turned clear like water, and the tube that had been extended from the container in front of Leo had pierced into her veins, and the other tube was handed to Leo.
