The old wizard didn't lie, he was indeed surprised, and extremely surprised, not only surprised that Leo had also been to Arm Island, and left smoothly and returned to Veron, but also surprised that Leo could so easily solve the monster that had plagued him for months.

Originally, the old wizard asked the royal family to hire Leo, just to borrow Leo's luck, because after all, the Poseidon Scepter was found by Leo, and he felt that maybe there might be some mysterious connection between the Poseidon artifact and Leo, so if Leo was found, he might be able to retrieve the Poseidon artifact.

However, he never expected Leo to be so powerful, to deal with that monster so easily, and unlike the others, he could clearly feel that the kind of thunder and lightning sorcery that Leo used was full of destructive power, which he had never felt before.

Although Leo's strength can make things much smoother later, it also completely deviates from the old wizard's original intention, because Leo appeared with Sue.

The old wizard knew very well what Su was here for, and even he deliberately put Su in to attract the attention of the Special Bureau, but he didn't expect Su to know Leo at all, and judging from the battle just now, the relationship between the two seemed to be good, which made him can't help but think about it.

If Leo is just a person from the ordinary dark world, then the old wizard can easily control it, but the problem is that Leo's power is too strong, once he has other thoughts or changes the collaborator and employment relationship, then he doesn't know whether the Poseidon artifact can be returned to them in the end.

It was precisely for this reason that the old wizard did not want to take advantage of the opportunity of the destruction of this monster blocking the way to enter the church, but chose to slow down and determine Leo's thoughts before proceeding to the next step, otherwise, he would rather leave the Poseidon artifact in the church.

"The trap didn't succeed, it turned into an accident, old Otto, you are still as cunning as you were at the beginning. Before Leo could express his attitude towards the old wizard's unexpected statement, Sue couldn't help but interject, and her words were extremely provocative in them.

Just like the old wizard, Su also saw Leo's strength, although she also had reservations about the battle just now, and several powerful methods were not used, but she also knew very well that even if she used those methods, she could only let herself escape from here at most, and could not destroy the monster.

There is no doubt that Leo has now become the key person in the final ownership of the Poseidon artifact, so she must win Leo or she will fail this mission.

"Ms. Su, I hope you don't bring the misunderstanding of the past to today's events. The old wizard Otto easily saw Sue's thoughts, he didn't entangle Sue too much, and lightly resolved Sue's provocation, and then said to Leo, who was silent: "Please come with me, Mr. Leo." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Leo to respond, he led the people back into the black meadow, walking towards a small mountain path not far away that was hidden by the black meadow.

In fact, the old wizard is also a test to do this, if Leo catches up, then it means that Leo is not on the side of Sue, at least not now, but if Leo does not follow, then he will have to find another way.

Seeing that the old wizard left directly without saying hello, Leo frowned, and then as if he had guessed the other party's thoughts, a disdainful smile appeared on his face, and then gestured to Su on the side, and walked into the black grass.

Seeing Leo's reaction, Su couldn't help but have a worried look on his face, but he still led his people to follow.

The group soon reached the middle of the mountain path, and then rounded a hill to a valley that was very different from the oppressive atmosphere formed by the surrounding black meadows.

The trees and plants here are normal, uneroded by the forces of the abyssal outside, and there are even some normal bees, butterflies, and animals that live in this valley.

In addition, the most striking thing in the valley is the tower in the center that is more than fifty meters high, there is no doubt that this is a wizard tower, and the tower is engraved with complex Turing roots and rune magic arrays, these symbols full of magical power continue to exude energy, forming an invisible protective shield, protecting the creatures in the valley from being eroded by the power of the abyss outside.

Although, the valley is full of normal life, but there are very few people, except for the old wizard and the other four, there are only a dozen people in the valley, and Willis and Mira, who were separated from Leo and the others before, are also here, but their situation does not seem to be very good, and some seem to be restricted.

"I finally saw something to be happy about!" Seeing Mira being watched, Su smiled on her face, said cool words sarcastically, and waved her hand vigorously at Mira's side.

Because there were no tall plants in the valley, Mira could easily see Su and the others, and she could also see that Su and the others were not escorted, so her face was obviously not good-looking.

Originally, she thought that with the current situation in Death Valley, there must be no one else here, so that she could successfully complete her own things, but what she didn't expect was that there were other people in Death Valley, and some of these people knew how to restrain her strength, and even Willis was subdued by seizing the weakness before he had time to transform, as if these people had already had a plan to deal with them.

And now seeing the old wizard at the front, Mira immediately understood what was going on, and her expression, which was already ugly because of Su's gloating behavior, became even more ugly.

When they walked into the normal environment of the valley, the old wizard and the others stopped, took off their leather coats and boots, handed them to the people waiting on the side, and then changed into normal clothes.

Perhaps worried that Leo would misunderstand, the old wizard turned his head and explained again, saying, "These clothes and leather boots contain some power, and this power will corrode the normal environment, so you need to take it off." ”

After Leo and the others heard this, they also took off their clothes and put on their original clothes.

Then the old wizard walked up to Mira and said, "Lady Mira, have you forgotten the conditions you agreed to when I allowed you to settle in the kingdom?"

"Do you mean that request is like house arrest?" said Mira, snorting coldly.

The old wizard said in a deep voice: "Although it is like house arrest, at least you don't have to worry about the pursuit of the Silver Moon Tribe, and you don't forget that you came to ask me for shelter in the first place, and I didn't forcibly restrict you." ”

"Hmph!" Mira knew that she couldn't talk about the old wizard, so she simply didn't dwell on this matter, changed the subject, and said, "You should know that that thing doesn't belong to you, it's a tribal thing." ”

"Yes, I know it's tribal stuff, but the question is, Lady Mira, in what capacity are you questioning me?" the old wizard smiled and retorted, "Don't forget, you're no longer from the Moisan Continent Tribal Alliance, and you're classified as a traitor, thank you, you're not qualified to question me, and you're not qualified to get this thing." ”

Mira knew that what the other party said was the truth, and she couldn't refute it, so she could only clench her fists and want to punch the hateful old face fiercely.

It's just that she knows that if she really does it, then it means that the protection agreement that she had made with the secret assistance of the Great Shaman will also be invalid, in that case, she may have to enter a never-ending life of escape, which she has long been accustomed to living in peace cannot accept.

Just then, Leo's voice suddenly interjected, asking, "Can I know what it is?"

Leo's sudden interjection was a bit unexpected by the old wizard, and he frowned slightly, a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Although the old wizard hid his expression well, he was seen by Mira, who had been staring at him, and Mira also had a thought in her heart at this time, feeling that even if she couldn't get it in the end, she would muddy the water and make the old wizard uncomfortable.

Therefore, without waiting for the old wizard to open his mouth to change the topic, Mira couldn't wait to say: "It's the heart of a god descendant of the Lord of Nature." ”

Hearing Mira's words, Leo also showed an interested look on his face, and confirmed, "What does that godborn look like?"

"What else could it look like, it's a treeman!" Mira saw Leo's look and thought that her bait had worked, and immediately explained, "Just like the legend, the godborn of the Lord of Nature is an incomparably huge treeman, said to be hundreds of meters tall. ”

Hearing Mira's words, Leo instantly thought of the war weapons created by the spirit of nature, which also appeared in the form of a tree man.

Thinking of this, Leo turned to the old wizard with a slightly cold face and asked, "Can I take a look at that heart?"

The reason why Leo is interested in this heart is mainly based on his understanding that the heart is not only the energy core of the treeman weapon, but also its data core, its hardness can ensure that it can still be preserved for a long time after the death of the treeman, and even the black hole may not be able to destroy it, only after the energy inside it is exhausted, it will be destroyed.

If the heart that Mira and the old wizard mentioned was really the power core of the tree man's weapon, then he would have the opportunity to extract some of the recorded data from this power core, and perhaps be able to gain something useful from this information.

The old wizard didn't know Leo's plans, he just thought that Leo had already been moved by the treasure in his hand because of Mira's words, so he hurriedly said: "If you just take a look, it's nothing, but I hope Mr. Leo doesn't mess around, because that heart is related to the survival of our valley, and whether it will be completely eroded by the abyss here," perhaps thinking that it was still too light, so he said in an accentuated tone: " If this place completely falls into the hands of the abyss, then the abyss can use this as a springboard to erode our world, and then the world of Velonon will be dangerous. ”

Hearing the old wizard's words, Leo couldn't help but frown.

It wasn't that he was disgusted by the old wizard's pressure, but because the old wizard had said something wrong.

The old wizard believes that Death Valley is the last line of defense to protect Velons from the erosion of the abyss, but in fact, Velons have been in contact with the abyss long before the appearance of Death Valley, and they are still in contact with the abyss, but the power of the abyss has never really taken root in Velon, at best, it is just to open a door in the Velon's world, guiding some people who don't know the details to enter the world that has been affected by the abyss, such as Lake Town, such as Wangcheng and so on.

Although Leo knew very well that even if Death Valley completely fell into the hands of the Abyss, it would be absolutely impossible for the Abyss to invade the world of Veron through Death Valley, but he didn't plan to say it, because he also knew very well that even if he said it, I am afraid that the old wizard would only think that he was sophistry, and even think that he really had thoughts about that heart, so I am afraid that there will be a conflict.

So he just nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm just curious about that heart and didn't think about keeping it." ”

Hearing Leo's answer, Mira showed a little disappointment, because with what she knew about Leo these days, Leo was probably really not interested in the heart, not just talking.

Although the old wizard didn't know much about Leo, he was able to understand some of the situation from the subtle changes in Mira's face, so he was a little relieved.

Subsequently, the old wizard agreed to Leo's request and led Leo and the others into the wizard's tower.

After entering the Wizard Tower, everyone soon found that the inside of the Wizard Tower was at least ten times larger than the outside form, and the first floor of the entire Wizard Tower was made of some simple small houses made of wood, and the population problem that had puzzled Leo before was answered at this moment, and the entire ground floor was full of people, and there were about two hundred people counting a little.

When these people saw the old wizard, they all saluted the old wizard very respectfully, and at the same time, they also saw Leo and the others.

It's just that when their eyes swept over Leo and the others, they saw Willis in the crowd, all of them showed annoyed looks, and a few of them even released their own bloodline power, turned into werewolves and bloods, and showed their teeth towards Willis as if they were demonstrating, and Willis also made some provocative gestures without showing weakness, which angered those people in Death Valley even more.

It seems that if it weren't for the old wizard's presence, they would have started fighting.

"He's a guest now, and I don't want you to be too rude. The old wizard stepped forward to suppress the hostility between the two sides, and then led the group up the spiral staircase to the upper level of the wizard's tower.

Soon the group came to the top of the wizard's tower, which was also the old wizard's laboratory, bedroom and study, and on the ceiling of this room, a wooden heart that constantly shone with turquoise light was embedded in the middle of a series of Turing roots, and the Turing roots transmitted the energy emitted by the heart to the rest of the wizarding tower, giving the wizard tower and its surroundings the power to resist the erosion of the abyss.
