The news brought by Vitzmere was so unexpected that even if the truth of the news was confirmed from Witzmereir, Leo still had doubts in his heart.

On that day, when he heard the sound of the death knell, Leo thought that there was no Peter Alcott among the members of the Alcott family from beginning to end, and in his opinion, even if the entire Alcott family in the town of Seventh Lake died, Peter Alcott would definitely survive.

But now Peter Alcott is dead, and according to Witzmere, he still died of illness, which Leo can't believe at all. After all, when he met Peter Alcot a few days ago, the other party was still in good health, and with his understanding of psionics, even the most powerful virus could not kill a psyker in just a few days.

"Looks like you really don't know anything," Wittmere was also surprised by Leo's reaction, and boldly guessed: "It should be the Alcott family who blocked the news, and they don't want you to go to Peter Alcott's wake meeting." ”

"Why am I eligible to attend Peter Alcott's wake meeting?" Leo looked at Vitzmere with a strange expression, but soon his face showed a sudden look, and said, "Could it be that Peter Alcott's will has my name in it?"

As Leo's words fell, Vicemere nodded vigorously and said, "Not only is your name known, but I've heard that it's one of the top ones. ”

When Leo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face, and the stunned and confused expressions he had heard of Peter Alcott's death also faded.

Although it is only speculation and there is no evidence, judging from the fact that his name appears on Peter Alcott's will, Leo feels that Peter Alcot should not be dead.

"Peter Alcott is dead, do you still have to keep your agreement with him?" asked Witzmere again.

"Of course it will," Leo said calmly.

Hearing Leo's answer, a slight smile appeared on Witzmere's face, obviously Leo's attitude towards the promise of cooperation made him a little relieved about the cooperation that the two had negotiated before, after all, no one would like to work with someone who would break his promise at any time.

Vitzmir then said in a deep voice, "However, if you want to keep your promise, you really can't miss this wake. ”

"Why do you say that?" asked Leo.

Peter Alcott's puppet is also one of his relics, and not only the Seventh Alcott family, but also the other Alcourt families in Lake Town, as well as some wizards who study puppetry, care very much about this puppet. Witzmere explained, speculating, "If I'm guessing correctly, Peter Alcott's will must have given you the doll, otherwise, it's just some ordinary money and something, and the Alcott family wouldn't have behaved so rudely and so stingy." Know that if they do this, regardless of the outcome, it will cause no small loss of prestige. ”

Leo thought for a moment and asked, "When will the wake start?"

"Today. Witzmere responded, then added a precise number: "After five tick hours." ”

Leo asked, "Is there a way you can get me to the wake?"

"It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible. Witzmere was quick to give an answer, saying, "Your Excellency Charles Ronco has come to Lake Town, and he can serve as my master's messenger for the wake of the Seventh House of Orcott. ”

"Looks like you're prepared!" Seeing that Vitzmere replied so quickly, Leo couldn't see that Vitzmir had prepared his words in advance.

Wittmere didn't deny it, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, I'm just a little guy who runs errands for people." ”

"Although we are considered collaborators, I guess the Expeditionary Majesty will not be kind enough to help a collaborator and offend the Seventh Orcott family. Leo soon learned that Vitzmir was coming and revealing the details of the wake meeting, so he said bluntly, "Tell me!"

"Quite simply," replied Witzmere, "at the same time that the Great Library will help my master obtain the book of the Night God's Sigh, and that His Excellency the Expeditionary will also obtain another book from the library. ”

Leo frowned and said, "You should know that after we enter the ruined capital, we may not necessarily appear near the big library. ”

Witzmere shook his head, pretending to be mysterious, and said, "No! if you enter with Lord Charles Ronko, you will definitely appear near the Great Library. ”

When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but guess curiously, "Your Excellency the Expeditionary has a treasure that can locate the Great Library?"

However, this time Vicesmir did not answer, but just smiled.

Leo didn't continue to ask, but changed the question and said, "Since you can't say this question, what kind of books does Your Excellency Expeditionary want to get from the Great Library, you should be able to answer this question, right?"

Of course, this can be answered, it is the magic book of the crystallized old man. ”

Hearing this answer, Leo was stunned, and the expression on his face became serious.

Leo is no longer ignorant of the ruined capital, and through the incomplete information provided by Witzmere before, he has a preliminary understanding of the situation in the ruined capital.

The Wizards Guild believes that the ruins are the final destination of anything in the multiverse after the destruction, and the remains left after the destruction of anything in the multiverse will fall into the ruined capital, which can be a country, a person, or even a mass of cosmic energy.

Interestingly, this concept of the multiverse was not original to the chief wizards of the Wizarding Guild, but rather came from a note brought out of the Great Library by someone who had previously entered the ruined capital, written by an arcane from the realm of Nessreel.

The people of the Wizarding Guild had never been very clear about what Arcane was, because when the Arcanist wrote this notebook, he had gone crazy, and the content of the note was reversed, mixed with more than a dozen different languages, except for a small part of the content related to the Waste Capital that was interpreted, and most of the rest of the content was some deranged text that could not be deciphered for the time being.

It has been thousands of years since the Wizards Association discovered the Wasteland, and they have entered the Wasteland thousands of times, but they still don't know anything about the Wasteland, they don't know how big the Wasteland is, they don't know where the Wasteland is, and they don't even know how to take the initiative to enter the Waste. It wasn't until hundreds of years ago that the Wizarding Guild got hold of this Arcanist's Notebook that they really began to understand the Wasteland, and knew how to find the entrance to the Wasteland, and the name of the Wasteland became the official name of that strange world.

As for the content of that notebook, there is not much mention in Weitzmere's sources, only mentioning that the Wizarding Guild is now able to locate abandoned capital locations such as the Royal City and the Great Library, all relying on that notebook.

Because that note was found in the Great Library, and there were a large number of books that recorded magical knowledge in the Great Library, the Wizarding Association's exploration of the Waste Capital was also based on the Great Library for a long time.

More than half of the materials provided by Witzmere are in the large library, which makes Leo pay special attention to this area.

According to records, although the Great Library looks like a tower-like library on the outside, it has infinite space inside, and the Wizards Association's exploration of the Great Library has stopped at the forty-third floor.

Just like the rest of the wasteland, the large library is also full of all kinds of monsters, and the strength of almost every layer of monsters will be multiplied, and there will be an extremely powerful monster guarding the entrance and exit to the previous layer on each floor, and these monsters will continue to resurrect repeatedly.

The crystallized old man is the keeper of the entrance to the forty-third floor of the large library, and the arcanist's notebook was also picked up on the forty-third floor, so some people speculate that the crystallized old man is the arcanist himself.

Because of this, the Wizards Association has also explored the forty-third floor of the Great Book Vault the most, although the Wizards Association has never killed the Crystal Elder, but it has found two Crystal Old Man's magic books in the hidden secret room on the forty-third floor, and these two magic books have become one of the most important treasures of the Wizards Association, and only the chief wizard is qualified to read them.

Although, in the information, there is no mention of the process of obtaining the Crystallized Old Man's magic book, but judging from the fact that the Wizards Association has explored the Great Library so many times and paid a lot of casualties, but still cannot get the third Crystallized Old Man's magic book, it is enough to know how difficult this magic book is to obtain.

Now, that expedition Charles Lanco actually wanted to help Leo participate in the Alcott family's wake in exchange for Leo helping him obtain such a valuable treasure as the magic of the Crystallized Old Man, in Leo's opinion, if it was not for this person's whimsical to the point of naivety, then the conditions he offered must have follow-up.

So, Leo deliberately said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Mr. Witzmereir, do you think that as a businessman, such quid pro quo is reciprocal?"

"Of course not. There was a slight embarrassment on his face, and then he said, "I asked His Excellency the Expeditionary the same thing at the time, but he said that as long as you are willing to assist him in obtaining the magic book of the Crystallized Old Man, he is willing to open his private library to you. ”

Leo looked pensive and didn't answer immediately.

Undoubtedly, this condition offered by Charles Langke is the best trading condition for any ordinary wizard in the Wizarding Association, as the main disciple of the ninth chief wizard, the expedition Charles Langke is definitely a powerful wizard, and even many people think that he will inevitably inherit the position of the ninth chief in the future, so his private library must have a collection of all kinds of powerful witchcraft, which is a treasure that any wizard dreams of.

The problem is that Leo is not a wizard, and he is not a wizard of the Wizarding Guild. The conditions offered by Ronco were sufficient, but of no use to him, and what was even more distressing was that he could not even object to such conditions, otherwise he would be suspicious.

So after pondering for a while, Leo deliberately set up a small obstacle and said: "Being able to enter the Expedition's Excellency's library is naturally something I dream of, but helping Your Excellency the Expeditionary to obtain the Crystallized Old Man's magic book is also dangerous, and I don't know if I will be able to return here alive, so this trading condition looks good, but it is too illusory." Rather than offering such good trading terms that may not necessarily result in the end, I would rather have something tangible in advance. ”

Witzmere was silent for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Leo, what do you think is the right thing?"

Leo said in a deep voice, "No less than three notes of the chief wizard. ”

Vitzmir thought for a moment and nodded, "Your Excellency the Expeditionary should be acceptable to this condition. ”

Leo didn't expect Vitzmir to agree so readily, he was stunned, re-examined Witzmir's identity, and at the same time quietly stretched out his hand to Vitzmir and said, "In this case, the deal between me and His Excellency the Expeditionary has been concluded." ”

"The deal is done. Witzmere shook Leo's hand as well, and continued, "I'll arrange for you to attend the wake at once, and I'll pick you up in an hour." ”

"This one isn't busy. Leo waved his hand casually, then stopped Vitzmir and said, "Don't be busy walking yet, I have a few things I want to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Witzmere.

Leo asked directly, "The first thing is what happened to the Novitzki family's bounty? As far as I know, the Novitzky family has already sent someone to the Root Nest." ”

Wizmir said with some embarrassment: "I just wanted to tell you about this matter, the Novitsky family went to the nest to arrest people according to the information you gave about the murderer, but they encountered some accidents and suffered heavy losses, and some family members within the Novitsky family who were dissatisfied with the current heir used this as an excuse to delay the thing that should be delivered to you." ”

"Aren't they going to want to pay their bills?" said Leo, with a gloomy face.

Witzmir immediately shook his head and explained, "Of course not, they just deliberately delayed the time, because they knew that you were going to the ruined capital too, so they ......"

"So they want to wait until I get back from the wasteland before handing them over to me," Leo sneered, "If I can't come back, they won't have to pay attention to me anymore, right?"

And that's exactly what they think. Wittmere also looked disdainful when he mentioned these little tricks of the aristocratic family, but then he said very firmly: "However, don't worry, as long as you participate in this wake, I believe that the Novitsky family will deliver what you want to you tomorrow." ”

Leo looked at the smiling Witzmere and guessed that Vitzmir must have known something he didn't know about, but it was beneficial to him, otherwise he wouldn't have been so confident.

As for Leo, as long as the things are in hand, he doesn't care what the process is, how Witzmir operates this thing, and how much benefit this thing can bring to Vitzmir, so he doesn't continue to ask about it.

Just when Witzmere thought that Leo would ask about the bounty or the ruined capital, Leo suddenly changed his mind and asked a question that worried him very much.
