Chapter 700: Contact
"I am not the heir to the wizards of the Tower. After the fat Robert introduced Leo's identity, Leo denied his claim, saying, "I just know a little bit about the tower." ”
Although Leo said this, none of the people in the carriage would see it that way, because although there are many wizards in the dark world, none of them can refine real wizard potions, and over time, wizard potions have also been regarded as the standard of tower wizards, so Leo, who can refine wizard potions in large quantities, will be taken for granted as a tower wizard.
At this time, Ilan suddenly asked Leo, "Are you going to Moonlight City this time for the ruins of the tower?"
"The ruins of the tower?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What ruins of the tower?"
"Don't you know about this?" Yilan was also stunned, deliberately turned his head to look at the fat man Robert and asked, "Didn't you tell Mr. Leo about such an important matter?"
Seeing Yilan's deliberate act of provoking the relationship between himself and Leo, Fat Robert couldn't help but smile bitterly and didn't care too much, but he still explained it to Leo, saying: "The matter about the appearance of the ruins of the tower in Moonlight City is too absurd, and there is no substantial evidence from beginning to end, so the black market does not classify this matter as something that needs special attention." ”
"What the hell is going on? Leo asked with interest.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere in the carriage was too boring before, or maybe it was because he was worried that Leo would misunderstand that he was deliberately hiding something related to the legend and the tower, so he jumped down from his bunk, found a stool underneath, and told the story of the tower ruins in Yilan's mouth in great detail.
Originally, the location of Moonlight City was originally a lake called Silvermoon Lake, but as the nearby river diverted to Silvermoon Lake, it gradually dried up, and later the people of the Blood Clan took a fancy to this land located in the middle of Asha County, so they built a castle here, and eventually gradually developed into the current Moonlight City.
There has always been a legend in Moonlight City, and it is said that there is a very ancient ruin under Moonlight City, and a large amount of treasure is buried in the ruins.
The reason for this legend is actually because the White Swan Castle in Moonlight City was first built on the foundation of an unknown ruin, in fact, in the Kingdom of Mares, there are countless castles built on the foundation of the past ruins, and almost all castles with this construction method will have rumors of similar ruins hiding treasures in the future for a period of time.
Some of these rumors are indeed true, some people have indeed found secret rooms and found some treasures in some ruins foundations, but most of the rumors are false, and some people even paid a high price to buy those abandoned buildings with ruins foundations, and then pushed them to excavation, and finally found nothing.
So when the treasure rumor appeared, the people didn't care much about the rumor, and the people in the dark world didn't take it seriously.
Because they know very well who the person who built the White Swan Castle is, and they know that even if there is a treasure, the people of the Blood Clan will not let others dig it up, not to mention that with the cautious habits of the Blood Clan, they will definitely carefully inspect the foundation before the White Swan Castle is built, even if there is a treasure, I am afraid that it has been excavated at that time, and how can it be left until now.
Therefore, the rumors about the treasure in Moonlight City quickly declined after prevailing for a while, and only some old people would casually mention it after tea and dinner to add a little more to the conversation.
However, just half a year ago, rumors about the treasures of Moonlight City were prevalent in Moonlight City again, this time not only mentioning the treasure, but also clearly pointing out that the treasure may be the remains of the Tower Wizard, and even going so far as to say that the ruins still contain the knowledge of the Tower Wizard.
The reason for this change is entirely due to the fact that one night half a year ago, a very obvious and clear vision suddenly appeared in the sky of Moonlight City White Swan Castle and its surrounding areas.
In their fantasies, everyone saw a small island surrounded by several strange towers, and under the towers was a complex of buildings that occupied almost the entire island, and a large number of people wearing wizards' robes lived in the buildings.
This illusion didn't last long, and it quickly disappeared from the sky, but it lasted for a long time, and half of the people in Moonlight City saw it.
So, the next day, the news about the treasure of Moonlight City spread again, and the legend swore that the White Swan Castle was built on the ruins of the previous tower wizard training apprentices, and there were a lot of elementary materials for training wizards, even ordinary people could become wizards if they got those materials and trained.
For a while, the do-gooders gathered in Moonlight City again, and everyone wanted to find out the remains of the tower wizard, but soon the matter subsided, in addition to the fact that after investigation, the ancient ruins of the White Swan Castle as the foundation were not the wizard tower of the tower wizards at all, but a legion outpost built in the early days of the Mares Kingdom, and the blood clan had shown impatience with those good deeds like flies.
Therefore, even the most curious people will not offend the land snake of Yasha County for an unfounded and ethereal legend, so all the organizations in the dark world have withdrawn from Moonlight City, and even the black market has stopped the relevant investigations, as for those ordinary good deeds, no one pays attention to them, if they do anything out of the ordinary, they have their own police station in Moonlight City to solve it.
Leo couldn't help frowning after listening to the introduction of the fat man Robert, and a contemplative look appeared on his face.
This incident made him feel a little shocked, especially when he heard that Moonlight City was built on a dry lake called Silvermoon Lake, which made him think of Silvermoon Lake surrounded by dense fog, and then he heard the illusion that suddenly appeared over Moonlight City half a year ago, especially Robert's description of the illusion, which made him think of the Wizarding Council on Silvermoon Island.
Although Leo had never been to the Wizarding Council, he had seen a lot of relevant text in the books, especially the descriptions of the scenery of Silvermoon Island by the people of Lake Town, which were undoubtedly comparable to the visions in Robert's mouth.
All of this made Leo wonder if this Silvermoon Lake might have something to do with the first and second quarters of Miria City, as well as the Silvermoon Lake shrouded in thick fog.
After pondering for a moment, Leo suddenly asked, "Since you already know that the Tower Wizard Ruins in Moonlight City may be fake, then why did Miss Ilan ask me if I went for the Tower Ruins just now?"
"Because things have changed, but it seems that the black market has been excluded. Yilan sneered at the right time, then turned around and rummaged through a backpack he had placed at the head of the bed for a while, then found an invitation and handed it to Leo.
Leo took the invitation and looked at it, and found that the content on it was mainly that some unusual things had happened in the White Swan Castle recently, and these things might be related to the illusion half a year ago, so the owner of the White Swan Castle asked some scholars on the Minsk continent to participate in the study of these anomalous things in Moonlight City.
The tone on the invitation letter is very sincere, and there is no sense of superiority, which makes people involuntarily have a good impression of the writer as soon as they see the invitation.
However, Leo was not affected by the letter, and he also found that the content of the letter was incomplete, such as what was unusual, and there was no detailed information that needed to be explained, and the places involved were intentionally brushed aside.
From the content of this letter now, Leo is only sure of two things, one is that this matter is very tricky, so tricky that the blood clan that has always been xenophobic has to ask for help, and the second thing is that these things should really be related to the ruins, and this matter is not something that ordinary scholars can solve, so he has to ask the scholars of the dark world for help.
After reading it, Leo returned the invitation to Ylan, then turned to Robert and asked, "If I want to participate in this, can the Black Market help arrange it?"
"Of course, it's not a difficult thing to do. Robert hurriedly agreed, "And I think the owner of the White Swan Castle should be happy to have someone like you to participate." ”
Perhaps because of the conversation, the atmosphere in the carriage finally got rid of the previous cold silence and became more vibrant.
Ilan didn't want to go back to the uncomfortable silence she had just had, so she took the opportunity to ask Leo some academic questions about ancient civilizations, ruins, and linguistics.
Leo didn't answer her questions, and he would ask some questions back, but most of them Ellang couldn't answer.
However, there was a question that Leo was very interested in, and Elan quickly gave the answer, which was what Ellan's mother used to write the hypothesis back then.
Ylang had asked her mother the same question, and the answer she received was the wasteland. Ylan's mother found huge prehistoric ruins in the wasteland, and each of the buildings in that ruins was so large that it looked like a giant lived, and in the temple in the middle of that ruins, there were hundreds of murals that told the story of a giant who moved here from the stars.
At that time, Ilan's mother rubbed all the murals and brought them back to the kingdom of Mares, but after she published the hypothesis, the information was destroyed by a fire, and along with the rubbing frescoes, a large amount of the materials she used to study the hypothesis were burned, which can be said to have ruined her life's work, and she collapsed as a result, and she continued to teach at the public university of Corensa until she was invited to the wasteland of Moisan again two years ago, and finally lost contact.
After listening to Ylan-Elang's introduction to her mother, Leo suddenly had an idea and couldn't help asking, "Couldn't the person who invited Ms. Ylang Sasa be Old Man Rembrandt?"
"Yes, how did you guess?" Ilan looked at Leo in surprise.
Leo just smiled and didn't answer, and Ylan didn't ask any more questions.
Time passed quickly, the sky outside the train gradually darkened, the speed of the train was not very fast, until now it has only passed through two cities, according to the route map provided by the carriage waiter, it still needs to pass through more than a dozen cities to reach Moonlight City, a rough estimate, at least two or three days to take the car.
After it was completely dark, the train slowly stopped on the platform of a small city, and then asked the passengers on the train to go down to buy food and other things, because it was just started this rail train, so many services on the train were not in place, no dining car was one of them, and the other was no toilet.
So when the train stopped, and the conductor said that he would stop for a while to give the passengers enough time to buy food, those passengers who rushed off the train did not rush to the food shop at the station for the first time, but rushed to a public restroom at the station, and because of the need to queue, those who had endured to the limit were not allowed to run out of the station, and found a corner where no one was around.
After evolving to the life form of a sixth-level psionic person, Leo's control of his body is more progressive and tends to be perfect, all food can be completely decomposed, even the substances that cannot be decomposed will be absorbed and transformed by the chaotic stomach pouch, and naturally there is no need to excrete, as for food, there is still a lot of food in his storage space, so he stayed in the carriage, lying on the bunk as before, entering the deep consciousness, and deducing psionic skills.
Not long after he entered the deep consciousness, the door of the carriage suddenly opened slowly, the speed of opening was not very fast, and it was very stable, without causing any movement, and when the door opened, the corridor outside the door was empty, as if the door opened automatically.
Then, a very small sound came from inside the carriage, and it felt like a small animal like a rat had burrowed into the room.
Immediately after, I saw that the backpack that Yilan put on the bunk opened automatically, and the things inside were turned over by an invisible object, and after turning for a long time without finding what he wanted, the backpack closed again.
The whisper came again, and the invisible man seemed to be about to leave, but behind him, he found that the door of the carriage was gone, replaced by a partition.
Perhaps due to the panic in his heart, he couldn't help but let out a slight exclamation, and his hidden figure was revealed.
I saw that this was a thin middle-aged man, his hair was shaved, and some mysterious-looking patterns were tattooed on his scalp, and these patterns were still down his neck, submerged into a thin layer of black tights, it seemed that this pattern should be all over the body.
In addition to the pattern, the man also has a pair of crystal-like glasses, which are not a word of description, but a real crystal, two crystal eyeballs.
"The Mosa Carlo of Balivi, such a well-known wizard could become a thief. Just when the middle-aged man was overwhelmed by what he was seeing, Leo's voice suddenly sounded, "Can you tell me what you're looking for?"
