Chapter 495: The Ruins of the Prehistoric Tower
It's just that it's useless to speculate about the intentions of the tower wizard now, after all, the tower has disappeared, and the last real tower wizard also died in Death Valley, and only Otto, the pseudo-tower wizard, is still alive in this world, so even if the tower secretly collected secret information from various countries back then with ulterior motives, it no longer matters.
It's just that after sorting out the various materials harvested this time, Leo couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, he was not puzzled by the content of the information itself, but wondered if the wizard of the tower was really dead.
Because according to some clues revealed in the diary of the wizard of the wilderness, the wizards of the tower have a deep understanding of the fog that envelops the world, the abyss, etc., and the town of Silvermoon Lake should be one of their achievements, and it is strange to think that some powerful wizards have disappeared silently after entering the wasteland.
Although these tower wizards are still one level away from the gods, they are already the top existence in the Velen world, and judging from their ability to open up subspace planes, they are definitely not unknown people in the universe, how could such a strong person disappear so completely.
At this time, Leo couldn't help but think of the illusion that the incarnation of the tree heart showed him, and the complete spaceship that sank to the bottom of the lake, which also made him feel an urge to go to the Moissanite continent immediately.
However, he also knew that the wasteland was probably very dangerous, and before he was fully prepared, he rushed to the wasteland only to die, so he could only force the impulse in his heart.
In this way, Leo lay on the bed in the hotel, resting while sorting out the materials for the night.
When the sky was about to dawn, a wave of energy suddenly came out of the shadows in a corner of the room, and then Su was seen coming out of the shadows.
"I looked for you all night. Sue walked over to Leo's bedside and looked at Leo and said.
Leo didn't open his eyes, and said calmly, "Why are you looking for me?
"Yes, the deal is done. Su nodded, and said, "However, Otto, that old fellow didn't say a word about what happened after sending us away, and I'd love to know more specific details from you." ”
"Why do you think I'm going to say it?" Leo asked rhetorically, and said in a flat tone: "Your purpose is just to make it impossible for the Royal Family of England to obtain the Seagod Artifact, and that Seagod Artifact should be in the abyss now, and it is impossible for it to appear anywhere in Velon, so why bother to ask about things that shouldn't be asked?"
Hearing Leo's drawing, Sue frowned. In fact, when she saw the old wizard, she felt that the old wizard had hidden some words and did not say them, but she also knew very well that what she asked would definitely have no effect, so she could only put her mind on Leo, and spent a night of hard work looking for Leo's whereabouts in several swampy towns.
It's just that what she didn't expect was that Leo didn't even plan to say anything, so she thought that Leo and the old wizard seemed to have reached some kind of consensus on the matter of Death Valley.
However, the fact that the Poseidon artifact was confirmed by Leo made her heart hang all night, and in any case, the purpose of her visit to the Inge Kingdom this time had been accomplished.
"I'm leaving. Su then said: "Although the loss of the Poseidon artifact is not because of me, but the Inge royal family will definitely find a punching bag, if I don't leave, that old guy in Otto will definitely find a way to treat me as a gift to please the Inge royal family, I am not ready to clash with the Inge royal family head-on now, so leaving as soon as possible is the best choice." ”
"You don't have to explain it to me. Leo opened his eyes and looked at Sue.
"We had a great time working together this time, and it was good last time. Su didn't care about Leo's cold attitude, and said with a smile: "And you are going to the Moisan Continent sooner or later, I have a good relationship with you now, maybe we will cooperate in the future." ”
"How do you know I'm going to want to go to Mozambit?" Leo asked.
Su said with great confidence: "I think as a wizard, it is absolutely impossible to resist the temptation of the tower wizard's relics. ”
"Tower Wizard?" Leo was stunned, a puzzled look on his face.
"Very few people know about this now, but I believe that it won't be long before it spreads in the dark world, so it's okay to tell you now. Sue explained: "Do you remember what old Mr. Rembrandt was doing on the Moissanite continent?"
Leo didn't quite feel like playing this question-and-answer game with Su, but he still held back the impatience in his heart and said cooperatively: "Didn't you say that you were going to excavate and study a prehistoric civilization ruins?"
"Yes, it is true that the remains of prehistoric civilizations are being excavated. Su nodded, and added, "However, before I came here, there was new news that someone found that one of these ruins was very strange, and they researched it and concluded that this ruin was probably left by the wizard of the Tower. ”
Leo frowned and said, "The tower wizard was in the wasteland before he disappeared and ate, and the ruins of that prehistoric civilization were also in the wasteland, and it is not surprising that the tower wizards used this ruins as a temporary foothold and built some of their own living places. ”
"But the problem is that the remains of the wizards of the Tower were made in prehistory, and before that prehistoric civilization was still flourishing. Su shook his head and said in a surprising voice: "And judging from the location and scale of the ruins built by the tower wizards, when the prehistoric civilization was still thriving, the status of the tower wizards here was not low at all. ”
"Are the remains of the Tower Wizard prehistoric?" asked Leo as he sat up from his bed, confirming.
The initial inference is this. Su did not give an exact answer, saying, "But more evidence is needed." As he spoke, seeing Leo's contemplative appearance, he smiled and said, "How is it?
Leo ignored Sue's teasing, he added this important information to his brain's data, quickly compared and analyzed it with other data, and soon he found that some of the previous questions about the reason why the wizards of the Tower went to the wastelands of Moissanite had an acceptable answer.
Previously, the answer from Old Otto was that the Tower Wizard had entered the wasteland in order to hunt down his comrades who had caused the Death Valley disaster.
At first glance, it sounds like that, but when you think about it, it feels a little unreliable, in order to hunt down a fellow offender, is it necessary to touch the entire members of the Tower? Leaving only one Count Drake to guard Death Valley, it seems a little unreasonable for everyone to enter the wasteland.
But if the Tower wizards didn't go to the wasteland solely to hunt down their fellow criminals, but to go to the ruins of the Towers of an ancient civilization, then this unreasonable place becomes reasonable.
The tower appeared very suddenly, according to the normal theory, a group of powerful wizards gathered together to create it, but if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find a loophole, because whether it is the universe where the Earth Federation is located, or the world of Velon, there is a phenomenon that is close to theorem, that is, the strong do not live in groups.
In the Earth Federation, too, after psionics are strong enough to a certain extent, they will live alone, and will no longer have too close communication with other psionics, let alone live together. Sometimes, there may be collaborations that bring several psionics together temporarily, but they are often very short-lived, and they can't stay together for long, even if they're best friends.
But the tower went against this phenomenon, not only gathered together and built their residences, but also opened a training system similar to the academy, constantly bringing people with wizarding talents from the outside world to train them to become tower wizards, so that the tower wizards could continue.
Therefore, the reason why the tower wizards were formed must be a strong centripetal force that gathers these powerful wizards, just like the Supreme Council of the universe gathers those famous omega-level higher beings in the universe, and now it seems that this centripetal force may be related to the tower inheritance in prehistoric civilizations.
Thinking of this, Leo's impulse that had just been suppressed last night was triggered again.
Since Leo didn't hide his curiosity, Su naturally saw it clearly, and a smile appeared on her face at this time.
The reason why she wasted time leaving the Kingdom of England and risked staying here to find Leo at the risk of the anger of the English royal family was not just to say goodbye to Leo, but also to let Leo go to America with her.
If the trip away from Miria at the beginning only gave Su a rough understanding that Leo is a strong man with extraordinary powers, then this trip to Death Valley really made her realize that Leo's strength has exceeded her expectations.
Although her trip can be said to be risk-free, as if everything was easily solved, as long as she thinks a little and erases Leo as a participant, it is not difficult to find that this mission is difficult for her, and it may even be a life and death.
Su is a very rational person, and she is not arrogant, and when she realizes that there seems to be a huge gap between her strength and Leo's strength, she is not self-righteous and thinks that this gap is just an illusion, nor does she feel jealous and envious, but thinks about how to use Leo's powerful helper.
Although Sue now has a very high status in the United States and has some special rights, this does not mean that she has no competitors, and those competitors may be inferior to her in strength, but after they join forces, they can still pose a threat to her position, so she doesn't want this situation full of threatening pressure to continue forever.
Originally, after her trip to the Kingdom of Inge, she was going to use her identity as a witch group to gather witches from all over the world for a party, and she could discuss cooperation with other witches at the party.
But she is not completely sure about this, because the witches of the witch group are all very individual, they all like to fight alone, and there will rarely be cooperation, and even if they cooperate, often things will not develop according to the wishes of the collaborators, so when she made this decision, she hesitated for a long time, if it wasn't really for the lack of suitable people, I'm afraid she wouldn't think of the witch.
However, now that a more suitable and powerful partner has emerged, the previous plan has naturally moved backwards.
Just now, in order to be able to attract Leo to the Moisan Continent, she even did not hesitate to tell the story about the appearance of the tower wizard ruins in the prehistoric civilization, you must know that all countries in the Moisan Continent are very coveted by this ruin, so they tacitly cooperated to block the news, and she is now telling this secret to others, if it spreads, even if she has a high status in the United States, she will be punished, and even affect her future plans.
Therefore, when she saw Leo's intentions, she naturally couldn't help but smile on her face, but her smile didn't last long before she was interrupted by Leo's words.
Seeing that, Leo was silent for a moment and said, "I have no plans to go to the Moisan Continent for the time being. ”
"Why?" Su couldn't help but ask urgently: "If you go to the Moisan Continent now, you will be able to take the lead in the matter of the prehistoric tower wizard ruins, plus your relationship with the old man Rembrandt, you will definitely be able to get a lot of gains in the ruins, why don't you ......"
"Why are you so excited?" Before Su could finish speaking, Leo interrupted her and asked rhetorically: "Do you want to go to the Moisan Continent, are you interested in the ruins of the wizards of the Tower, it seems to be my business, why are you so excited." Or is it because you have other intentions for telling me these things? ”
"I ......" Sue had never encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, she just opened her mouth, with an embarrassed look on her face, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a trace of annoyance in her heart towards Leo, who didn't give her face.
Leo was also aware of Su's mood changes, so before Su became angry, he said: "I will indeed go to the Moisan Continent, but not now, if you want us to cooperate again, maybe you can wait until then to contact me." ”
Seeing the turnaround, Su's annoyance immediately dissipated, and asked, "When?" But after opening his mouth, he felt that he was a little too active, so he explained tactfully: "When the time comes, I can take the time to entertain you, just like the host entertains guests, how to say that I am now a native of the United States and a half of the Moissanite continent." ”
Leo thought about it seriously and said, "I don't know the specific time, if it's fast, it's one or two months, and if it's slow, it may take half a year." ”
"In that case, you can send me a letter in advance when the time comes. Sue found a sticky note on the bedside table, quickly wrote down the address of Port Seth, handed it to Leo, and said, "Just send the letter to this address, and the people there will deliver it to me as quickly as possible." ”
Leo was not polite, took the note and put it in his pocket, and at this time, Sue, who had already achieved his goal, walked back into the shadows, blended in, and disappeared.
