Chapter 271: Secretly arranged, who is thwarting the plan
Without these two runes, the flying sword is not worth anything, and if Guland wants to sell the flying sword, he only needs to erase those two runes, and even if he loses his protection, it can still be turned into an amazingly powerful weapon.
"I'll take this thing," Leon patted Gouland's shoulder and said with satisfaction, "It's hard work." ”
"It's not hard." Guland squeezed out a stiff smile, and took out a piece of parchment in distress and stuffed it to Leon,
Li Ang glanced at it and raised his eyebrows, "This is the relic information of the legendary wizard?" Got it so quickly? ”
"No way, this mission is more difficult."
Goulander sighed and said slowly: "I started looking for traces of the ruins decades ago, and during this time, I found clues to a total of five ruins, three of which are abandoned ruins, and only one ruin is barely valuable. ”
He paused for a moment and then whispered, "However, we don't have the ability to break through the blockade of that ruin, nor do we have enough energy to activate the sealing array.
We have to wait for help, and the longer this happens, the more dangerous it becomes......"
"So you found me?" Leon frowned and said, "I'm just an ordinary adventurer without any power, why do you believe that I can break the blockade of the ruins?" ”
"Because I believe in you."
Gulander was silent for a moment, and his eyes burned: "I have studied your video recording, you are the sixth in the world, and you have the ability to tear through space and summon an army of undead from a distant otherworld.
The bloodline power of our ancient witchcraft family comes from our dead ancestors, and in the Holy Sepulchre, dead ancestors may be resurrected......"
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "So...... Excellency Leon, please, help us through this catastrophe. ”
The ancient wizard's tone was sincere and mournful, as if he was praying to the heavens.
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Hey, I'm just here to help, why are you acting like you're my elder?" ”
“…… Sorry, I was negligent. ”
Goulander reacted, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Don't take it so seriously, take it easy."
Li Ang waved his hand and said casually: "Isn't it just to help you open up the ruins, this is just a piece of cake for me, not worth mentioning, let's go directly to the ancient castle tomorrow morning." ”
With that, he walked straight outside the house, leaving Gouland standing in a daze.
After a while, he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.
"Huh? Excellency Leon, where are you going? ”
Li Ang glanced at him and said lightly: "Go back to sleep, do you still want to chat with you?" ”
"Uh......" Gouland froze.
"But you're quite idle, you haven't seen anyone for a week, and you're finally willing to give up today?"
"Ahem, aren't you getting ready to rest?"
"Our task is urgent, and we must rush to the Egyptian palace as soon as possible to talk to His Majesty the Pope about the Holy Sepulchre," Gulland explained dryly......
"What you say sounds perfunctory."
Li Ang snorted coldly and said, "If you really need to negotiate and discuss a specific course of action, why don't you gather those wizards together and sit down to talk?" Or do you want to speak to the representatives of the Holy See alone, and let me act as a bridge between you? ”
“……”
Goulande was dumbfounded.
"What the hell are you doing these days?"
Leon continued to walk forward, saying, "Why have you been hiding and refusing to see me?" Are you afraid that I will take credit? Or is someone secretly thwarting your plans? ”
"Alas," Goulander sighed and whispered, "Lord Leon, you know, this village near the Holy Sepulchre is separated by the Ancient Witchcraft Society and the Knights Templar.
The village is known as 'St. John' and belongs to the ancient witchcraft family.
The family was originally sent by the Old Gods as an apostle to protect the country, but with the departure of the Old Gods, the Old Witchcraft family gradually declined and was forced to move to this small village to live and survive.
The Holy Sepulchre, right in the northwest corner of this village.
This small village has a long history, and over the years, a group of wizards have been born in the village, most of whom are apprentices of the owner of the Holy Sepulchre, and it is these apprentices who brought witchcraft to the village and founded this ancient alliance called the Holy Alliance.
Later, the wizards discovered that the wizard's own strength alone could not break through the forbidden barrier around the Holy Sepulchre in any case, and they could only use external forces to enter it.
These wizards developed many strange potions and curses, but none of them worked well as expected, and finally they decided to seek help from outside forces.
Some of these external forces are from the major forces of the wizarding world, and some of them are from other worlds, such as heroes from the high-dimensional universe, other worlds, and transcendent realms, and inheritance families from the wizarding world.
But no matter which force it is, there are things such as [Holy Mountain], as long as you obtain certain special equipment and ritual items, you can forcibly break through the blockade of the Holy Sepulchre, enter the inner layer of the Holy Sepulchre, take out the secret buried in the Holy Sepulchre, and dig out that legendary artifact.
"So, those wizards plan to use me to forcibly break through the confinement of the ruins?"
Leon looked at Guland beside him and said in a calm tone, "In that case, why didn't you tell me just now?" ”
"Because ......"
Gulander hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Our goal is not just one fragment, but all the fragments of this world......"
"Huh?" Leon glanced up at him, "Are you trying to seize control of the Holy Sepulchre?" ”
"Yes." Gouland said frankly.
Li Ang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with interest: "So bold? ”
Gulander shook his head and said bitterly: "It's not that I'm bold, but that there is no way back." ”
"Huh?" Li Ang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Gulander took a deep breath, suppressed his restless emotions, and whispered, "Your Excellency Leon, do you know that I am from another plane? ”
Li Ang was stunned and shook his head.
"I'm from another world, South America, a country called the Caspar Empire."
"Although the country perished tens of thousands of years ago, my father was a member of the royal family of Caspar and held the position of emperor.
I have been trained as a wizard since I was a child, I have the blood of a wizard, and I have been exposed to the mysteries of witchcraft since I was a child - including the Holy Sepulchre, including the Valley of the Dark and the treasury of the Prince of Arthas.
According to the convention, as long as a wizard was able to enter the tomb of the prince of Arthas and take his remains, he would receive a very rich reward. ”
