Chapter 159: The Wizard's Apprentice's Handbook

Just as Leo looked at the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was also extremely keenly aware of the abnormality, and looked back at Leo. He didn't look disgusted by Leo's complexion, he just frowned habitually, and then showed a little doubt.

Although his snooping was discovered, Leo did not make a gesture to dodge his eyes, but nodded at the middle-aged man, walked over naturally, like an acquaintance, and said: "You are a guest in room No. 717, right? I live next to you, and the movement on your side today is big enough, I almost thought something was wrong, and I was about to knock on the door." ”

When the middle-aged man heard Leo's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then responded flatly: "Sorry, I'm arguing with you!"

Leo could see that the middle-aged man didn't want to talk to him, but he didn't end the temptation, and deliberately tapped the small wheels installed on the box with his foot, and said, "This box is really exquisite, the magic array on it is all the master's handwriting, did you make it?"

When the middle-aged man saw Leo kicking the box with his toes, his face immediately became extremely gloomy, and the killing intent in his heart was also drawn.

"You're a bit rude in doing this!" the middle-aged man glared at Leo with naked killing intent in his eyes.

Because the middle-aged man did not hide his killing intent at all, the surrounding nobles who were particularly sensitive to danger immediately noticed it, although they didn't understand what was going on here, they could feel that Leo and the middle-aged man were very unusual, so they all chose to stay away from the two, and after a while, a small space was vacated in this somewhat crowded aisle.

"I think it's appropriate to use this box for corpses, what do you think?" Leo continued to provoke, and his eyes that activated his spiritual vision looked at the nightmare power that was rapidly condensed due to the killing intent on the middle-aged man's body with some excitement, while strengthening the perception of the nightmare power through spiritual perception, while collecting a large amount of energy data sensed into the auxiliary brain database.

For Leo, the more detailed the data collection captured when the Nightmare Power is active, and the more chance he has to master this Nightmare Power after the parabrain system analyzes and sorts it out, so he needs to constantly provoke this middle-aged man to make the Nightmare Power emanating from his body stronger.

Sure enough, just after Leo said the words that the box contained the corpse, the middle-aged man's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly said a word, and then a shockwave similar to a bomb explosion appeared from him, condensing into a mass and rushing towards Leo.

And Leo, who had been on guard for a long time, also cast a spiritual energy impact towards the middle-aged almost at the same time, and the two forces collided together between the two, making a dull sound, and then disappeared into invisibility, quite a bit of thunder and rain.

Leo and the middle-aged man were surprised by this situation, especially Leo, he knew very well that his psionic impact would definitely not be able to completely block the shockwave released by the other party through special techniques, so he had already prepared for protection, and planned to take this hard hit, but he didn't expect things to change so dramatically.

Then, almost simultaneously, both of them were aware of the cause of the situation, and they both looked at the ceiling above them. I saw that the magic array on the ceiling full of Turing roots was gradually dimming like a extinguished lamp at this moment, and it was obvious that the spiritual energy of the two of them just now was absorbed by the magic array above.

At this time, a thin flower shop security supervisor rushed in when he heard the news, jumped in through the window on one side, stood between Leo and the middle-aged man, and said to the two of them without humility or arrogance: "Your Excellency, if there is any problem, we can provide a special place for you to solve it, I hope your Excellency will not mess around here." ”

"You're in good luck!" the middle-aged man seemed to be concerned about the flower shop, and didn't continue to do anything to Leo, but just looked at Leo with a sneer and said.

"I've always been lucky. Leo also responded without showing weakness, and a slight smile appeared on his face, because after what happened just now, the parabrain system has collected enough nightmare power activity data and is analyzing it, and soon this uncontrolled power will no longer be a burden on him.

The middle-aged man obviously saw the strangeness in Leo's smile, but he didn't know why Leo was smiling so proudly, but he instinctively felt that he might have done something beneficial to Leo just now.

At that moment, the massive boar-like monster that had stopped in the aisle was removed from the aisle, revealing the exit ahead.

The nobles, frightened by Leo and the middle-aged man's sudden move, hurried away to avoid getting involved in unnecessary strife, especially the troubles of the two wizards.

Seeing that the aisle had been cleared, the middle-aged man had no intention of continuing to entangle with Leo, and dragged the box quickly towards the exit, and the nobles in front of him all made way of a way, not daring to get too close.

Leo didn't follow up and continue to provoke, or directly shot to catch him, because it didn't do him any good, after all, he didn't have any evidence to prove that this middle-aged man was the murderer of District 23.

And the identity of this middle-aged man is obviously not ordinary, even if there is evidence, catching him may not be able to cause danger to him, but it is very likely that Leo himself will be involved in trouble.

What's more, Leo accidentally unlocked a power contained in the dream body, and the most important thing now is to find a way to use this power to improve and stabilize his strength, as for other things are secondary.

After waiting in place for a while, staggering some distance from the middle-aged man, Leo left the flower shop with the comments of the flower shop's security supervisor and returned to his temporary residence in District 23.

At the same time as Leo and the middle-aged man left, the director in charge of the internal security of the flower shop also wrote down what had just happened in detail, and ordered the report to be handed over to an office in the 11th district, and then several people passed the report, and finally the report was placed at the bedside of Peter Alcott, and his maid read the contents of the report one by one.

"How did the two of them come into conflict?" Peter Alcott said with some puzzlement after listening to the report.

The maid replied expressionlessly: "From the analysis of the report, it is a language conflict. ”

"No, it can't be a clash of words!" Peter Alcott shook his head, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Maria, did he bring that box with him when he came?"

The maid knew exactly who Peter Alcott was and nodded, "Yes, he always carried the box," she said, pausing with a hint of emotional emphasis, "Take it with you for everything." ”

Seeing the maid's emotional movements, Peter Alcott's face smiled again, and then turned his attention back to the report, saying, "There must be something wrong with that box, and that Leo Dodd should know something." As he spoke, he reached out and rubbed his forehead and said, "Although I think Leo Dodd may be our opportunity, it seems that he is also a problem now. ”

The maid's tone returned to that cold state and asked, "Don't you see his future?"

Peter Alcott shook his head and said, "I see, it's very fragmented, most of it is very vague, only the two future fragments are very clear that Malek is looking for him to investigate the case and he takes you into the wasteland, as for the matter mentioned in the report, it is not among them." ”

"What now, do you need ......?" asked the maid.

"No, no matter how big he is, as long as it doesn't affect the matter of the waste capital, we don't have to pay attention to it. Peter Alcott waved his hand, then picked up the report and looked at it carefully, and said, "He has already contacted Vitzmir, judging from Witzmir's mood afterwards, things are going well, and now we have to wait for the results of the ninth chief." ”

"Will the Ninth Chief agree?" asked the maid with a look of common concern again.

"Yes," said Peter Alcott with great confidence, "he is in a position where he does not disagree, and he will send his main disciple, the fellow called the Expeditionalist, who is strong enough, but unfortunately not enough brains, to help us open the way." As he spoke, he paused and said, "That Leo should not send someone to monitor for the time being, it is useless to monitor with his ability, so we will be a bystander for the time being." ”

While Peter Alcott was discussing what was going on in the flower shop, Leo had already returned to his temporary quarters, and after motioning for Sophie, who had been waiting for the door, to go back and rest, he went to the third floor where a large number of wizarding curiosities and wizarding books were stored.

Just like the study on the second floor, this room is also a study room below, and a secret room above is a workshop, but the area is much smaller, less than one-third of the area of the room on the second floor.

All the wizarding artifacts sensed by the spirit network were stored in the secret room, but Leo was not interested in those wizarding artifacts. Because the psionic fluctuations above are so weak, so weak that even that kind of net-like wizard strange thing is far from comparable, and the psionic energy is mixed and interferes with each other, even if it is a finished product, it is not a good thing.

Leo's attention is all in the books in the room, the books here are all books involving wizards, a rough count of about nearly seven hundred, although I haven't read the official content of the books, but from the title of the shell, it is not difficult to see that these books are all the most ordinary, the most basic wizard books, as long as you have a little identity and status, you can get them.

Leo wasn't surprised by this, after all, even if Peter Alcott trusted the defenses of his house, he probably wouldn't have stored those precious books involving the wizard's core here.

In fact, for Leo, these basic wizarding books in front of him are what he really wants, and as for those real wizarding books with more advanced content, even if he gives them, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to understand, after all, there is more than one book of wizards in the tower in his backpack, and he has not been able to read the first chapter until now.

Leo didn't rush to pull out a wizard book and look through it, but carefully read the cover names of all the books.

Although there are many of these wizarding books, five hundred and twenty-three of them are of the same type, except for the revised version, which is a wizarding apprentice's handbook for each member of the Wizarding Guild.

The Wizard's Apprentice Handbook is printed with the date of the revision of the book, which was first compiled six hundred and thirteen years ago, based on the time of the silver calendar here, and has been revised almost every year since then. However, several of these manuals were published at intervals of more than ten or even decades, and the content of the manuals changed greatly before and after, and these wizarding apprenticeship manuals with large intervals were used by Leo as a classification marker, thus dividing these wizarding apprenticeship manuals into five periods.

Leo put aside the other wizarding books for the time being, and put all his energy into these wizarding apprentice manuals, although these wizarding apprentice manuals may involve very little witchcraft, most of them are some theory or common sense content, but these notes can provide him with a lot of basic information, so that he can have a systematic understanding of the development of witchcraft in this world.

Reading more than five hundred books was a daunting task for others, but it was easy for Leo, not to mention the fact that a lot of the content in these wizarding apprentice manuals was repetitive, making it easier for him to get books into his database.

In just two ticks, Leo had already included more than 500 wizarding apprenticeship manuals in his database.

Leo didn't continue to collect other wizarding books, but sat at the desk in the room, looking at the archival file analyzed and sorted out by the parabrain system, which showed the complete development of wizards in this dream world in the form of charts.

A great upheaval that took place more than 600 years ago without any detailed records was a turning point in the development of the entire Dream World Wizards Association, and just like what happened to the Great Upheaval, there is no record of what wizards were like before the Great Upheaval.

It can be seen from the earliest wizard apprentice manuals that the situation at that time was very chaotic, the compilation of the wizard apprentice manual was somewhat arbitrary, it seems that the person who wrote the manual did not put his mind on this matter at all, there were a large number of errors in the manual, and even some witchcraft that Leo saw that required at least three or more psionic abilities to be cast were also compiled into this enlightenment manual, which shows that the situation of the wizarding association at that time was very bad, and no one had any intention of developing wizard apprentices.

Extrapolating from the time of its publication, this period of confusion was thirty-six years long. The latest edition of the Wizard's Apprentice's Handbook was published ten years later, and the content of this manual was obviously much better than the previous Wizard's Apprentice's Handbook, not only did it not have any mistakes or omissions, but the content of each chapter was well organized, and all the witchcraft that could not be mastered by the apprentice was eliminated, and only a few witchcraft, such as meditation, were kept for the apprentice's initiation.

It's just that, judging from the content of the wizard's apprentice manual for the next fifty years, there seems to be some trouble in the training of wizards during this period, and there are a lot of deletions and changes in the content of the manual every year, especially the meditation method changes almost every year, as if the official wizards of the wizarding association are trying to find a useful method from the many meditation methods.
