Chapter 199: There is a ruined capital with real death
Seeing the attitude of Charles Langke and others, Leo also felt that the problem was very serious, the Alcott family's refusal to enter the wasteland was far from being as simple as he thought, it seemed that it was not a ban issued by the Wizarding Association in order to restrict the Alcott family from borrowing the resources of the wasteland to develop itself, and there seemed to be other reasons.
At this time, Peter Alcott took the initiative to stand up and said, "You guys are a little wrong to blame Mr. Leo, he actually doesn't know why the Wizards Association banned the Alcott family from entering the ruined capital. ”
The black-robed wizard Reese retorted, "How is this possible, as long as the people of the Wizards Association know the reason for this ban. ”
"But what if he's not from the Wizarding Guild?" Peter Alcott said calmly.
"What are you talking about......" Charles Lanco was about to retort, but stopped again, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Leo with a strange look, and asked in a deep voice, "You really aren't from the Wizarding Guild?"
Although Peter Alcot revealed his identity in this way, which made Leo feel a little dissatisfied, he finally did not quibble, but nodded and admitted, "I just said that my teacher was a hermit wizard, but I never admitted that I was a member of the Wizarding Association. ”
"Who are you?" Charles Ronco asked, glaring at Leo in disbelief, "Are you from the Fog Zone?"
Leo looked indifferently at the three people from the Wizarding Guild in front of him, and said, "Who am I? This question should not be the most important question now, no matter who I am, now we all need to face the same problem, and I will not be happy if something happens to you, so shouldn't you focus on the right place, such as how to get what you want smoothly, and then get out of here." ”
Hearing what Leo said, the three members of the Wizarding Guild all showed a wry smile on their faces, they already believed that Peter Alcott's words were true, Leo really didn't know what would happen to the members of the Alcott family after entering the ruined capital, otherwise, he would not be able to say it so easily.
"Why are you doing this?" Seeing that Leo really didn't understand anything, Charles Lanco also turned the finger at Peter Alcott and asked, "You must know that if you do this, you will most likely die, and even if you don't die, you will be trapped here forever, just like those ashes." ”
"I just want to get rid of the fate of the Alcott family!" Peter Alcott sneered.
"This is the contract signed between your Alcott family ancestors and the Wizarding Society, and it is the fate that your Alcott family recognizes. The black-robed wizard Riser glared at Peter Alcott with a fierce face, and said, "After you have enjoyed all the benefits brought to you by the contract, do you think that you don't want to take the responsibility of the contract?"
Peter Alcott sneered: "You also said that this contract was signed by the ancestors of the Alcott family, why should I, as a descendant, bear it, and I do enjoy the benefits brought by the contract, am I just enjoying the benefits? Without my help, how could the fortress castle in the fog area be built, without the fortress castle to keep those monsters in the fog area out, how could the people of the Lake District Alliance live so peacefully, isn't this my payment?" When it comes to giving, I've given a lot more than you guys who only know how to get resources from the Lake District Coalition and never send people to the front, so who are you to blame me. ”
Peter Alcott's words made the three wizards speechless, because compared to the other members of Alcott's family, Peter Alcott is definitely an alternative among the other, he is so good that the wizarding association has to explicitly prohibit him from accessing the mysteries of power such as witchcraft, but even this is difficult to hide Peter Alcott's light, and the contribution of the fortress castle in the fog area alone is enough to be comparable to those sages who died for the safety of the Lake District.
As Peter Alcott said, his contribution did far outweigh the benefits he received from the deed, and no one present was qualified to serve him.
"Do you think that by possessing your puppet and smuggling into the wasteland, you will be able to escape the power of the contract?" said the spiritual wizard Jesse, "The contract is a soul contract jointly made by the Supreme Chief and the ten archmages back then, and it acts on the souls of all the Alcourt families, no matter where you are, as long as your soul is still there, the effect of the contract will definitely not disappear." ”
"No, there is a way to eliminate the contract. Without waiting for Peter Alcott to refute, the black-robed wizard Riser explained the other party's plan in one word, and said, "He wants to use the power of feathers to reshape his soul and body, am I right?"
"I didn't know that the True Eye could see through the true thoughts of others?, Lord Reese, your piety towards the True Eye is admirable. Peter Alcott didn't admit it, but his slightly teasing words undoubtedly confirmed the black-robed wizard's speculation.
Hearing Peter Alcott's words, the black-robed wizard Reese's face became extremely gloomy, because the goal of this trip to the ruined capital was also to crystallize the library's feathers.
"Hehe!" Charles Lanco on the side suddenly sneered twice, glared at Peter Alcott angrily, and said: "Do you think there is still a chance to go to the Crystallization Library to get the feathers? Your arrival has changed the rules of the Waste Capital, now everything here is real, our injuries are real, and our death is also real, do you think that in this state, if we go to the Crystallization Library, it is possible for us to leave alive?"
"Can you tell me what changes will happen to the members of the Alcott family when they enter the ruined capital?" Leo interjected.
Charles Lanco looked at Leo with the same eyes as if he were looking at a poor worm, and he was not interested in answering the question, and the other two wizards hated Leo as the culprit who caused the current predicament, so they had no interest in answering.
Peter Alcot felt that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to hide it, so he said truthfully: "The reason why the ancestors of the Alcott family were able to sign a contract with the Wizarding Guild is because there is a mysterious power in the blood and soul of the Alcott family, which can transform the unreal and the real. Didn't I say it before, our world is a false illusion, and it exists solely because every member of our Alcott family will be a sacrifice to stabilize that illusory world. ”
"Hmph!" Charles Langko said disdainfully: "It's this illusory heresy again, the reason why the Chaos Society appeared back then was because of this heresy, but I didn't expect you to be a member of the Chaos Society." ”
Peter Alcott did not refute the expeditionalist's speculation about the identity of his members of the Chaos Society, and he continued to explain to Leo: "Because of the special bloodline and soul of our Alcott family, after we enter the ruined capital, it will cause some changes. For example, even if a person who entered the ruined capital in the past was injured and died in the ruined capital, it was only equivalent to a dream, and when the entrance to the ruined capital was closed, he would be resurrected again in the place where he left, and it was a complete resurrection, and he could get all the resources obtained from the ruined capital. All that was lost was some spirit and mana. That's why they decided to venture into the Great Library to find the treasures they wanted because they wouldn't die. But the moment I entered the Wasteland, the rules of the Wasted Capital, or more accurately, the rules of the Great Library, changed, and all the people in the Great Library or the immortal ashes trapped here would die when they were mortally wounded, and the injuries on their bodies would not be restored. ”
"Langbaxian and Sauro Khan may be dead!" At this time, the black-robed wizard Riser suddenly said: "According to the rules here, we entered the waste capital at the same time, so when we are in the exit node, we should also appear at the same time, and now they have not appeared, then there is only one possibility, they are dead, and they are really dead." ”
Everyone fell silent when they heard this, but compared to the panicked look between the three wizards' eyebrows, Leo and Peter Alcott seemed much calmer, as if they didn't take life and death seriously at all.
Peter Alcott had anticipated this situation and had been prepared to die for a long time, which is why he was so calm, while Leo's calm was a little strange, and even he felt that something was wrong.
At first, Leo thought that he was able to be so calm because the effect of the Tranquility Elixir had not yet subsided, but when he saw the personal data interface, he found that the effect of the medicine had long passed, and now he was not in an absolutely sane state.
After carefully searching for the reason, Leo felt that the reason why he was so calm might have something to do with Mongoya's gaze, but it was only the last guess he had made after failing to find another reason, and there was no real evidence to prove it.
"It's useless to say anything now, let's think about how to get out of trouble!" Faced with the question of life and death, Charles Lanco, even though he was very annoyed with Peter Alcott and Leo, still suppressed the hatred in his heart, and said very rationally: "Things have changed, it is no longer suitable to go to the Crystallization Library, let's stay here to see if we can kill the caretaker and get the dream stone from it to open the exit." As he spoke, he said to Leo and the others with a cold face: "This matter is caused by you, we can not hold you responsible, but you must help us deal with the caretakers here, otherwise, even if we die, we will solve you first." ”
After Charles Ronco's words, the black-robed wizard Riser and the spiritual wizard Jesse both stood beside him, expressing their support for his proposal.
In the face of the threat, Leo did not fight, but turned his head to look at Peter Alcot on the side, and then did not wait for Peter Alcott to respond, he nodded to himself: "Yes, I can help you deal with the caretaker first, but I will not leave, I will still go to the Crystallization Library." ”
Leo's decision made the four people around him stunned for a moment, for the three wizards including the Expedition, it didn't matter whether Leo continued to go to the Crystal Library or not, as long as the other party agreed to help them deal with the caretakers here.
However, Peter Alcott looked at Leo with some doubts, he naturally did not think that Leo continued to go to the Crystallization Library to keep his promise to help him find the feather, so he was very puzzled by Leo's decision, and wondered if Leo was also determined to obtain something in the Crystallization Library.
"I also agree to help, but I have one request," Peter Alcott said that since everyone else had already made a decision, Peter Alcott naturally could not object, but he decided to fight for his best interests.
"You're still qualified to ask for ......" The black-robed wizard Reese looked angry and pulled out a rune-engraved monster skull from his sleeve, as if he was about to do something to Peter Alcott.
"Wait! Charles Ronco stopped his companion, then suppressed his anger and said to Peter Alcott, "Say, what do you want?"
Peter Alcott said calmly, "Don't worry, my request is simple, it is to tell me and Mr. Leo Dodd everything you know about the Crystallization Library. ”
Charles Ronco frowned, noncommittal.
Peter Alcott continued, "I know you must be hiding some important information from the Crystal Library, which will make it easier for you to obtain the Crystallized Old Man's magic book, and you won't even need to kill the Crystal Old Man, right?"
Charles Ronco hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't give you the complete information, I will only tell you some information related to feathers." ”
"Lord Charles Lanco......" The black-robed wizard Riser was obviously very unhappy with Charles Lanco's decision, as his target was also feathers, and he obviously felt that Charles Lanco was helping others to steal their own things.
In order to alleviate the displeasure of the black-robed wizard, Charles Ronko made a promise: "There is not only one feather, when this matter is over, we will go to the Crystallization Library again, and when the time comes, I will help you find the feather first, and then go to get the magic book of the Crystallized Old Man." With that, he turned to look at Peter Alcote and said, "Do you think it's okay?"
Although Peter Alcott wanted the complete information, he would not give it to Charles Longke, after all, it involved Charles Lanco's own interests, so he didn't say anything more, nodded and agreed to the request to help deal with the caretaker of this layer of library.
Afterwards, everyone temporarily let go of the grudge in their hearts and began to discuss how to set the trap and how to deal with the guards. Leo didn't speak the whole time, but he was listening, and he learned from the information about the caretaker of this layer of the library that he had encountered before from the information provided by several people during their conversation that the high demon he had encountered before was indeed the caretaker.
Unlike the other high-level demons and great demons in the library who can only patrol a certain area, this caretaker can wander anywhere in this level of the library without being restricted, so it is very important to choose an ambush location, and the big tree cave where everyone is located at the moment is one of the best places, because this caretaker has a high chance of listing this as one of the patrol routes.
