The sphere at the top of the Black Tower suddenly moved, and everyone at the top of the tower was stunned, and they gathered under the sphere, looking up at the sphere that had turned into a disc, and couldn't speak for a long time.

"What did you do? How did you become like this?" asked the crowd who had come to their senses from their surprise as they stood on the herringbone ladder.

Belen, on the other hand, looked at the scrub cloth in his hand with a blank and surprised face, looked up at the place where he had wiped it before, and said puzzledly: "I didn't do anything, I just want to wipe it clean." ”

As he spoke, the qi pillars formed by three black clouds rushed out from the tops of the three chief wizard towers in Silvermoon City, and soon flew to the airship docking platform on the periphery of the top of the black tower, and all the black clouds were all gathered and turned into three wizards wearing black robes and hoods.

Seeing the three wizards standing on the platform, the porters and engineers in the top room all stopped discussing and bowed their heads respectfully, and Belen, who was standing on the herringbone ladder, also jumped down and stood next to his companions with his head bowed.

Although the manager of Silvermoon City is the City Council, everyone knows that the City Council is just a management tool, and the real control of Silvermoon City is the ten chief wizards of the Wizarding Association. Nominally, the status of these ten chief wizards is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low, but in fact, everyone knows very well that three black-robed wizards among the ten chief wizards are the strongest and have the highest status.

Except for some major celebrations, the three black-robed wizards rarely appear in front of people, and even if they do, they have never appeared at the same time, and now the three black-robed wizards appeared at the top of the black tower at the same time with such fanfare, which made the engineers and porters in the room feel that something big might happen.

When the three black-robed wizards appeared, they ignored the rest of the room and walked directly under the orb, looking up at the orb that had turned into a disc.

"There's still some magic left on it, and that magic should have come from here. A woman's voice came from under the hood of a black-robed wizard embroidered with blood-colored patterns, and then she was seen to remove the hood, revealing a cold face and a bald head covered in various patterns.

"Do you remember what this thing is called?" The other black-robed wizard had purple embroidery on his clothes, and was the most burly, with numerous scars visible from the half of his face peeking out from under his hood.

The last black-robed wizard was embroidered with white patterns and the most old voice, his hood deliberately lowered to cover his entire face, and only a waist-length beard could be seen hanging down. I saw him say in a deep voice: "I remember that this thing is called the Boundary Ring. ”

"However, how do I remember that this thing used to be a sphere?" the blood-patterned black-robed wizard pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know what this thing is for?"

The other two black-robed wizards looked at each other and didn't know the answer, and then the white-veined black-robed wizard coughed twice and said, "There are too many books and inheritances lost in that turmoil back then, and I'm afraid that the function of this thing still needs to be found from those remaining ancient books, and it may not be able to be found." ”

"How did it get to its current shape?" the black-robed wizard of the blood pattern asked again.

As he spoke, the three black-robed wizards looked at the engineers and porters who were standing next to them with their heads bowed.

The person in charge of the five engineers hurriedly stood up and carefully explained the situation just now.

"Is it just to wipe off the rust?" the purple-striped black-robed wizard muttered a little puzzled when he heard this, and then saw his body float up from the ground and float to the side of the disc. Then he lifted his hand from under his robe, and removed the leather gloves, revealing his palms with metallic skin, and touched the disc lightly. Wherever he touched, the rust vanished little by little like a wiped stain, and the vanishing effect gradually spread, and in the blink of an eye, the disc was completely renewed, revealing a golden surface and those fine patterns.

"Huh?" When they saw the patterns on the surface of the ring-shaped bearings on the disc, the three black-robed wizards let out a soft cry in unison, and their eyes all fell on those patterns.

"It seems that there are one hundred and six levels of magic patterns?" The white-veined black-robed wizard quickly calculated the number of Turing roots in the outermost ring, and added: "This is still the number of magic patterns on the surface of the outermost ring axis, according to my observation, the number of magic patterns on each ring axis inside is more than that of the outer layer, which means that the number of magic patterns in the deepest core bearing may be more than a thousand." ”

"What, so much?" the white-veined black-robed wizard's words surprised the other two black-robed wizards, and although they sensed that there were a lot of magic patterns on the circular scrolls on this disc, they definitely didn't expect that there would be so many.

The purple-veined black-robed wizard asked in a deep voice, "How many magic patterns does the strange thing with the largest number of magic patterns in our hands have?"

The white-veined black-robed wizard quickly gave an answer: "The dreamcatcher placed in the fog area to guard the castle, seventy-six level magic patterns. ”

Hearing this, the three of them all gasped in unison.

The blood-streaked black-robed wizard asked with a puzzled expression, "Why haven't we discovered the mystery of this thing before?"

"Maybe it's because I see it often, so ......" The explanation made by the purple-veined black-robed wizard was a bit blunt, and he himself may have felt that such an explanation was unreliable, so he stopped before he finished speaking.

The three black-robed wizards did not continue to stand here to discuss, but directly ordered this place to be classified as a forbidden area, and all the supplies transported outside the lake area were transferred to other airship sites to be responsible, and after sending some wizards to stay here to guard, the three of them entered the warehouse that had been sealed for many years together, looking for information that might be related to this ring from those old objects and ancient books.

The actions of the three black-robed wizards naturally attracted the attention of the other chief wizards, and they all came to the top of the Black Tower to look at the disk, but they did not show much interest in it, and only formally sent a few subordinate wizards to be stationed in the room at the top of the tower, and then they continued to quarrel over the successor of the tenth chief wizard.

Other chief wizards who have long been secularized are more concerned with the power in their hands, the resources they have obtained, and the territory they control, and they are no longer very interested in the knowledge of so-called wizards. Because there are three black-robed chiefs, no matter how hard they try, it is impossible for their status and power to be improved, not to mention that their power comes from the bloodline, even if they don't delve into all kinds of witchcraft, their strength will increase as they get older, so there is no need to pay too much attention to these useless things anymore.

Leo, who was far away in the forest, didn't know that the animal skin in his hand had caused a reaction from the wizard's strange object at the core of this world, and he didn't know that because of this reaction, the black-robed wizard who controlled Silvermoon City had begun to pay attention to some things that had long been forgotten, and his attention was now focused on finding suitable clothes at the second supply point.

Compared to the first one, the second one Leo found was not very far from the hut, and it took him less than ten minutes to get there at his walking speed, and he had only been attacked twice by the Dream Spirit in between.

The supply point was not a wooden house, but a converted cave, the interior of the cave was dry, but there was no fireplace or anything like that, and the entrance was hung with some netted wizarding artifacts used to block the torso dream spirits.

The cave was not stocked with any weapons, but there was a lot of silvery-white sand that had caused the skin reaction before, as well as various sizes of clothing, from which Leo quickly found some suitable clothing for himself.

Although the clothes were found, Leo didn't wear them randomly, and he knew that every place had a different way of wearing clothes, and if he didn't wear them correctly, he would be more eye-catching.

Fortunately, with the previous Valentin as a reference, he quickly analyzed some of the rules for the people here to wear clothes, changed into a lined waistcoat and a hunter's half-coat, and in order to avoid mistakes, he even changed his pants and boots to the burlap pants and the very old sleeve boots here.

Leo did not throw away the clothes he had changed, but carefully folded them and put them in his backpack, after all, these clothes were specially made for him by the old man Rembrandt, and the value and function of the clothes themselves were not comparable to ordinary clothes.

After changing his clothes, Leo checked to see if there were any missing.

"By the way, and weapons!" Leo soon found a loophole that he had just overlooked, and removed the king and queen from his body, along with the holsters and cartridge belts, and put them in his backpack, and then took out a set of weapons and equipment that he had taken from the previous hut and put it on his body.

It is not difficult to see from Valentin's previous reaction that only the night watchman can use firearms, and the rest of the ordinary people will only use blade machine crossbows and other cold weapons.

After sling the crossbow and a bag of silver-white sand around his waist, Leo checked the condition of his clothes again, found no more holes, picked up a three-cornered hat that had been popular with flanges decades ago, put it on his head, and walked out of the supply point towards the nearest town on the lake.

When looking at the map, Leo felt a little strange in his heart, because according to common sense, a city's public cemetery should be built not far from the city, or even inside the city.

But this place is different, the cemetery guarded by Valentin is also thirty or forty kilometers away from the nearest town on the lake, and it is still deep in the forest, if ordinary people walk, I am afraid it will take more than one or two days to reach, plus the danger in the forest, the time may be longer, so this seemingly unreasonable urban layout must contain a mystery that he has not yet discovered.

However, when Leo discovers several abandoned cemeteries on his way to the nearest laketown, he has a vague suspicion that this cemetery may have something to do with the foggy area mentioned by Valentin. These cemeteries are not so much for the burial of the dead, but rather for borrowing the bodies of the dead for some kind of ritual, to generate some kind of strength against the fog zone.

In these abandoned cemeteries, Leo could not find any corpses under each of the graves, but it was clear from some traces that a large number of corpses had been buried here, and there were many traces of fighting the Dream Spirits in the forests around the cemetery.

Perhaps because he had entered the actual control area of the String Moon Lake, Leo encountered fewer and fewer dream spirits on the road, such as strange birds and white shadows, and the flocks of dream spirits such as strange birds and white shadows had almost disappeared, and most of them were individual dream spirits.

However, the fact that these dream spirits can inhabit the forest near the lake without being wiped out by the Night's Watch or the Wizarding Guild is a testament to how powerful they are.

As he approached the habitat of these dream spirits, Leo could feel from a long distance that the horror of several of them was definitely not much weaker than the Wilson Matthew he had seen beneath the cage city, the wizard who had lived for three hundred years.

For this reason, he didn't even dare to let go of the spiritual network, because when his spiritual network sensed the other party, the other party would definitely be able to perceive him as well, so he only dared to judge the habitat range of the dream spirit through spiritual vision or spiritual perception, so as to avoid these places.

After walking in the forest for about six hours, Leo finally saw the outer wall of the town on the lake.

This outer wall is a very majestic enclosure wall for ordinary people, the wall is almost thirty meters high, and the ends extend into the lake, presenting a semicircle, enclosing the entire lake town in it. There are no entrances or exits to the walls, but there are large steam lifts that can be used by people.

Just as the grave keeper's huts and supply points were equipped with the kind of reticulated wizarding curiosities, the walls were lined with a large number of similar wizarding curiosities, and these wizarding curiosities were no longer woven from those rough plant vines, but from some high-tech metal wire, far more durable and effective than other plant vine nets.

Because of the presence of these wizarding and strange objects that repel the spirit of dreams, the entire wall forms a huge repulsive force field, and the scope of this force is not only in the area near the wall, but even in places several miles away from the wall.

It is precisely because of the strong repulsive power of the dream spirit that the land around the wall has become safe and usable.

The trees in these fields were all cut down, the roots were dug up, and the land was cleared and turned into farmland, and the food crop grown in the farmland was not a grain such as a grain common in the world of vinylon, but a plant that looked like cotton but tasted very similar to bread.

It's just that Leo found that after eating this food, the Chaos Stomach Bag would not directly absorb this food, but let him digest it slowly like an ordinary person.

Perhaps because the people here trust the power of this high wall, they have no people to patrol and guard the wall. So much so that Leo easily climbed to the wall without alarming anyone, and stood on the edge of the top of the wall as wide as seven meters, looking at the town on the lake protected by this high wall, and also saw the center of the world, the String Moon Lake.
