When Leon looked around again, he finally noticed something different in front of him.

It was a distorted and strange shadow, and when Leon struggled to "swim" past, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a strange rocky land, and the shadow was the illusion that the inverted boulders on the ground were reflected in the air by the hot gas of lava steaming.

He grabbed a stone with his hand, detached himself from the magma with his strength, and stood lightly on the hard flat ground, and immediately saw the whole picture of "land".

It was just a bare layer of magma or a part of a boulder, only a few hundred meters square, and judging from the ablation, the magma must have overflowed every once in a while, melting most of the outer ground, and the rest solidified into various strange shapes of hard stone towering, like arms that were outstretched upward.

And in the direction of these "arms" gathered, a tall human statue stands impressively.

It's a little strange to know why such a statue could exist in such a deep formation, in the midst of scorching magma.

Leon cautiously slipped through the rubble, and only began to take a closer look at the imposing-looking statue as he stepped closer.

The person who made the statue must have been a master, and the lines that make up the whole were extremely complex, and the whole figure was portrayed vividly in an extremely delicate way, so lifelike that even if he blinked his eyes, Li Ang would not feel strange, and he even had the suspicion that this was a real person.

The statue was a muscular man, two heads taller than Leon, and the top of his head was mostly bare, except for a bundle of hair tied in twist at the very center that hung down to the back of his head, which made his forehead appear rather wide.

The man's eyes were wide open, his eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a wide mouth under the lion's nose, as if glaring straight ahead, and the stretched muscles of his face and the bulging green tendons of his neck were completely displayed by the restrained.

He wore a set of full-body leather armor, but there were only a few fixed belts on his upper body, most of his body was exposed, his arms were covered with muscles, as thick as Li Ang's waist, and his hands tightly held a spear four or five meters long, the style was simple, the lines were simple, but full of power.

The whole statue gives Leon a feeling of indomitable and tenacity, and it also seems to exude a hint of historical vicissitudes.

Is he a statue or a human? Looking at this "person", Li Ang was a little distracted for a while.

For this statue, which is so real that it is close to weird, Leon habitually turns on "scrutiny".

As soon as "scrutiny" swept over the statue, an explosive voice sounded in Leon's head.

"Little mage, you're here again!"

The abrupt voice almost startled Leon, but he quickly calmed down, and did not rush to react, but waited to see if the voice would still sound.

Then there was another cry, "Don't waste your time! I won't make a contract with someone like you, even if I want to fight!"

"Why?" asked Leon in a low voice, and instead of saying that he had made a mistake, he followed the other man's words.

"How many times have I said it! I can't make a contract with a spellcaster who is so weak!

"That's not right," the voice paused suddenly, "Your voice is not right, you're not that little mage!"

"Who are you!"

The power suddenly stirred around the statue, and then condensed into an unmatched force and thrust towards Leon.

"Die, maggots who dare to lie to me!"

Leon's weapon was thrown into the castle when he teleported, but he was not afraid of such a collision of pure power, and he had been prepared for such a strange situation, and at the same time burst out with power and punched to meet it.

A muffled sound erupted in mid-air, and Leon flew out a dozen steps backwards, but also scattered the incoming power with a punch.

"It looks like I'm not going to die for a while, so you'd better have a good conversation," Leon walked back in.

"Your strength is strong...... Did you kill that stupid little mage?" the voice seemed a little surprised, but at the same time no longer agitated.

"No, it doesn't matter how he died, and it doesn't seem like you have any sense of time. ”

"Time?" the voice laughed, "time doesn't matter to me. ”

"And you, the one who wants to make a contract with me like him?"

Leon thought quickly in his head, and then he replied, "If you think so, it's not impossible. ”

"Haha, it's really a greedy human, you just want to gain power, but you never think about paying!"

"Ridiculous," after listening to the other party's resentful words, Li Ang's anger did not come to a place, he hated such an indiscriminate person who wanted to teach others a lesson as soon as he came up, "Greed? Do you know what greed is?"

"You vainly try to have power that doesn't belong to you, this is greed!" the voice roared, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his tone.

"Any life, no matter whether it is high or low, whether it is wise or not, has the right to maintain its own existence! How can a human being survive in a world full of wars and strife? I can only make myself strong, so strong that no one can deprive me of my life at will, so the thirst for power is not only mine, but every race and every life is born with! Do you have the courage to admit that you don't want to be strong for the sake of survival?"

"If you ignore yourself and define other people's desires as greed, it only shows your shallow ignorance!"

After this series of words was finished, there was no movement on the other side for a long time, as if he was thinking.

"Ho ho ...... Little one, you're right, I'll admit it. The voice slowly resounded, and then continued: "Regardless of whether your childish words are correct or not, I feel another kind of power from your words, not bad, at least stronger than that little mage. ”

"He will only keep pleading, and keep promising all kinds of conditions to tempt ......" The voice laughed a few times, as if to express his own ridicule, "but he can't say these words from you, and your attitude is very touching to me." ”

"Tell me, who are you?"

Leon knew that he had to speak to such people with a sense of ease, and he had just exploded in words, and now he calmly answered the other party's question.

"My name is Leon, and I'm from Campbell's Territory in the Kingdom of Sver. ”

"Sver Kingdom?" the voice looked puzzled, "Why haven't I heard of it, is it one of those small countries in the north of the Great Demon Sea, or is it a war-torn country near the edge of the Endless Wilderness?"

“...... It seems that you have been asleep for too long, and the kingdom of Sver is hundreds of miles southeast of here, bordering the Pale Mountains and the Caesar Empire. ”

"Caesar's Empire...... Is there no Pompeii Empire?" the voice continued.

"I haven't heard of it," Leon replied truthfully.

“...... Tell me what's going on right now. ”

Leon also knew very little about the history of the mainland, but there was no problem at all in casually talking about the current situation, and combined with the memories he gained from reading the book, he briefly described the several kingdoms surrounding the Chaos Land, and the voice remained silent.

Li Ang's words had stopped for a long time before his voice sounded again, "It turns out that so much time has passed...... Have you heard of the Highland barbarians?"

There was a slight tremor in his voice, as if he was extremely concerned about this issue.

"Highland barbarians, the big men who live on the snowy plateau?"

Leon was a little stunned, he looked a little familiar when he saw the statue's outfit, and now that he remembered it, weren't the big men who showed off their muscles like this a classic style of barbarians?

"Ice and Snow Plateau......? How did they go back to their ancestral land!"

"Little one, tell me about the current situation of the barbarians, and I will be very grateful to you!"

"I'm sorry, but I only know that they are indeed distributed on the ice and snow plateau, and I know very little about them. ”

"I don't need to apologize! I asked more!" he said, but his voice was disappointed.

"But," Leon seemed to think of something, and said at once, "if I can, I can take you to the Ice and Snow Plateau." ”

"Ho ho ......" his voice carried a hint of clarity, "Little guy, if you have something to say, just say it! What you just said was full of emotion, why are you dodging now!"

"You want to sign a contract with me, it's okay to say it directly," the barbarian's voice was a little sarcastic, "The heroic soul is originally a soul form left behind after death, and it needs to be attached to the existence of the 'Lord of Contract', but ...... Do you have what it takes?"
