For some reason, although Leon believed Fiona's account of the Light Sanction Ritual and the Obsidian Slab, he always felt that she had concealed something in the explanation of the title Dark Woman, and the young man silently looked at Fiona for a while, and seeing that the other party had no intention of further explanation, he gave up after thinking about it.

He could see that both Quinine and Fiona attached great importance to the "Dark Daughter", and on the top of the mountain before entering the valley, the question asked by the mysterious old man seemed to point directly to the changes that had taken place in Sophia, so this title must mean something.

But Leon was in no hurry to know the true meaning of this, and the most important thing for him now was to wake Sophia awake and wait for her to fully recover, and it was not too late to talk about other things later.

Leon had already decided on his itinerary, and he would take Sophia all the way east, into the Black Forest, through this ancient forest that was inaccessible and full of monsters, and finally deep into the Great Wasteland, until Sophia recovered.

Given Guò's previous knowledge of the Black Forest, his journey this time can be said to be full of dangers, and it is difficult to say how long it will take to achieve the expected results. The young man didn't care too much about the former, believing that with his own strength and that of his companions, as long as he was careful, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the latter...... If you leave for too long, the development of the territory may be delayed.

Leon found a problem - he had only been in this world for a few months, but he was getting into more and more trouble, enemies or opponents were emerging, and the biggest trouble so far was to kill the clergy of the Holy See of Priesthood. Compared to this incident, it is not a matter of teaching the two Lords of Fort Edward, or driving away a few arrogant and domineering little nobles.

Facing these troubles. The sense of crisis in Li Ang's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and his sense of urgency for the development of his personal and overall strength is far greater than before, so even if he needs to go deep into the Great Wasteland this time, he can't lose the territory construction.

Fortunately, part of the Black Forest is located on the east side of Campbell's territory, and the Great Wasteland is not too far away, and Leon himself already has a plan to completely develop the Black Forest, so if he can establish an effective contact method. If he can get a qiē matter in the territory at any time, he can remotely control the development of the territory.

As soon as he thought of remote information transmission, the first thing that came to Li Ang's mind was his mentor, the alchemy master Kaka. Increasingly, he discovers that this unremarkable gnome is simply his nobleman, whether it is the qiē that happened before and after entering the chaotic capital, or exploring the ruins, and finally returning to the territory and retrieving Red. Kaka has played the most important role in this. There is no substitute for the role he has played. Therefore, after Leon escaped from Campbell, it was quite lucky to be able to set foot in Kaka House by chance when he settled in Gray Town.

Just as the young man was pondering, Katerina's voice rang out with surprise and confusion.

"Something happened to Sophia, Lee, Leon...... You'd better take a look!"

Leon immediately recovered from his contemplation, and when he turned to Caterina's side, Red, Erin, and Melissa gathered around him, and Fiona was even faster than him.

“...... W-What's going on?" Leon muttered as he looked at the girl in Katerina's arms.

Sophia still fell asleep. Her hair color had already turned pure black when the Holy Envoy broke through the dark power that shrouded the stone platform, and at this time. The girl's long wavy hair slowly changed color in front of everyone, and in a minute or two at most, it turned from black to golden yellow.

Fiona heard Leon's question as if she were talking to herself, and she frowned and half-knelt on the ground, stretching out her hand to the outside of the wound on Sophia's chest, but suddenly withdrew her hand again.

The expression on her face was a little complicated, and after a long time under the gaze of everyone, Fiona said slowly: "It is said that the previous change proves that she has absorbed the dark power stored in the obsidian tablet, but it is strange that now she has another power in her body...... And it's on par with the power of the dark power. ”

"Divine power?" a premonition rose in Leon's heart.

"Yes," Fiona said, looking at him, "supposedly it won't happen, but now it's happening right in front of my eyes, so...... I don't know very much either. ”

"Could it be that Sophia can ......?"

Leon was interrupted by Fiona before he could finish speaking.

"However, I can tell you unequivocally that Sophia is the Daughter of Darkness, so her physique is definitely inclined to adapt to the power of darkness, and suddenly having so much divine power is not necessarily a good thing for her. ”

The young man's face was a little bad, he thought about it for a moment, and said: "In the end, Sophia used the dark power to stop the Holy Messenger but was seriously injured by it, according to my estimate, maybe it was at that time that she was invaded by the energy of the Sword of Sanctions, so she became what she is now." ”

"Fiona, it's not that I don't believe you, but you've also said that you're not very clear about this change, so I need to get the advice of my mentor else. ”

"But before that, I'll head east with Sophia, and if the mentor agrees with this, or if he doesn't know much about it, we'll head into the Black Forest at once. ”

Fiona shrugged her shoulders to show that she didn't mind Leon's decision, but then she asked, "You still have a mentor?"

At first, the vampire girl thought that if Leon had a mentor, then in terms of his ability, this mentor might be a well-known person, but when she heard that the dwarf she had only seen outside the manor, she immediately lost interest.

Leon didn't care about her attitude, and said to Red, who was listening carefully, "I'll take Caterina and Melissa first, you and Erin go back and tell Master Kaka the details of this matter, and if Duncan is still there......"

Speaking of this, the young man hesitated slightly, and finally decided to believe in the swordsmanship powerhouse who had been saved by his grandfather.

“...... You can also sue him and see what he thinks about it and what he thinks about it. ”

"Leon, I'm going with you too," Erin suddenly interjected.

"Erin......" Leon looked at the female mage who was very unconvinced, and said seriously: "You have already rescued Sophia with us, and you have also proven yourself in the battle, so not letting you go with you this time is not because you don't trust your ability." ”

"It is a very rare opportunity for Mr. Clement to take you in as his student, but his whereabouts and purpose are unknown, and he may leave at any time. ”

"Although we can't keep track of the whereabouts of a big man like him, we can control our own time, so I still hope that during his stay at the manor, you can learn more things from him, isn't this also something you dream of?"

Erin was silent, and after a while she nodded lightly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but before I leave, I have something to tell you." (To be continued......)
