Chapter 561: An Untold Secret

"When I left the Black Forest, I asked Erin what the outside world knew about the Great Wasteland for so long. ”

Leon nodded to the mage girl who was listening intently, and continued, "Erin told me that it is nothing more than a desolate land, an extremely dangerous death area, a gathering place for powerful monsters, and so on, and so on, no different from other wild places hidden under the mist. ”

This shows that the real secret hidden in the great wilderness is almost unknown, or even if anyone knows, this secret has long been annihilated in the trajectory of history. ”

"Did you find something?" said Kaka, frowning slightly, with a thoughtful expression.

"Yes," Leon said, "The Great Wasteland hides a huge secret magic circle, which may also contain the qualities of an alchemy circle. ”

People were slightly moved, if what Li Ang said was the truth, then the ability of the person who set up such a secret magic circle was simply unimaginable.

"You say that this circle covers the entire Great Wasteland, and the characteristics of the Alchemy Circle? This seems unlikely......" Kaka said suspiciously: "To set up a magic circle of this scale, not only does it require a large number of high-level talents, but the financial and material resources consumed are quite a terrifying number, and what is the purpose and significance of setting up such a magic circle in the Great Wasteland?"

"I don't know who set up the circle, but I know the purpose," Leon said slowly, "It's to trap a powerful and ancient life. ”

Hearing this, Singh suddenly stood up. The movement was so rapid that there was a sharp grinding sound between the legs of the chair and the floor, and he seemed to have a premonition of something, and his hands pressed hard against the table. His eyes were red with excitement, but his lips squirmed for a long time and he didn't dare to ask the question in his heart.

"Sit down, Singar," said Leon, "and listen to what I have to say." ”

The elven old man woke up like a dream, remembering the environment he was in, he apologized to the young man with a red face, and then sat down.

In fact, none of the people in the chamber paid much attention to Singel's gaffe. Because their attention had also been drawn by Leon's words. Come to think of it, the Great Wasteland has been an inaccessible and unknown area for thousands of years, mysterious and terrifying. But Leon actually said that the entire Great Wasteland was covered by a huge magic circle, and that there was a powerful and ancient life hidden inside, just listening to these two descriptions, you can guess how sensational his discovery was.

"What you said is true?" Kaka couldn't help but ask.

In fact, when the alchemy master asked this sentence, he immediately knew that he was a little redundant. With what he knew about Leon. Although this apprentice's personality is usually a little out of the ordinary, he has always been very calm when it comes to really important things, so if he is not quite sure about this matter, he will never say so surely.

"Leon, is this what you discovered that night?" asked Caterina in a low voice.

"Yes," Leon continued, smiling at the knight girl.

Next, he began with the sigh that came to his mind, about the conversation with the unknown life in the tent that night. Then the other party used some kind of powerful spatial ability to directly pull down the center of the Great Wasteland.

People were amazed, and this ability was simply unheard of. Especially the well-known Erin, Kaka, Duncan, and other veteran fourth-order powerhouses all understood that even a fifth-order spatial elemental specialized spellcaster would not be able to achieve such accurate positioning, let alone pull a human being who was only a third-order human directly in front of him from dozens of miles away, and it would not be a big problem if he just used advanced teleportation techniques to send himself out.

Although the marvel at this unknown life was incredibly powerful, almost all of them had no intention of interjecting into it, and just listened intently to the words of the young lord, and Singal listened as he clutched the thick table, trying his best not to get too excited.

"It's a tree, it's not tall, but its canopy can cover the entire lord's manor," Leon's eyes flashed with a look of memory, and he finally said what he saw at the time, "It can be said that there is only this one tree standing in the center of the Great Wasteland, and beyond that, there is only the dry land full of folds, and countless powerful monsters. ”

The young man remembered what happened to Elite Shengen, and he sighed for a while, and he slowly brought out the exchanges between him and the ancient tree at that time, including how the tide of monsters that often brought panic and death to the Kingdom of Svir a hundred years ago was generated, including the struggle between the ancient tree and the monster for thousands of years, including the gift of the heart of the tree and the twigs, and when Leon finished talking about the final decision of the ancient tree, he shook his head and sighed: "So...... Everyone should understand, the entire secret magic circle in the Great Wasteland was set up for this ancient tree, not only imprisoning him in the Great Wasteland for thousands of years, but also continuously extracting his life force, so that it is almost exhausted today. ”

After Leon's words fell, no one spoke for a long time, and the council chamber fell into a state of silence.

Looking at people's expressions, they should be digesting Li Ang's words, but the amount of information contained in the words is too large, so they can't get out of this state for a while. There was one exception, and that was Singall, who had somehow taken the two Tree Hearts back and was muttering something at a very low volume as he rubbed them.

"Boy, you're going to ...... It's a little too exciting. ”

The words of the alchemy master finally broke the silence.

"It was quite exciting," Leon said, "but the rewards were incredible." ”

"He must be the Ancient Tree that Singal just mentioned," Kaka said, and then he asked a more crucial question, "Did he tell you your name?"

"It's the Tree of Life," Leon corrected inwardly, and then replied, "I promised not to say his name." ”

In fact, Leon also promised Elite that he would not be able to tell the origin of the heart of the tree and the twigs, let alone tell his companion that an ancient tree that had survived for thousands of years was bound in the center of the Great Wasteland. All he had to do was to find as many powerful helpers as possible, and then lead them to destroy the two nodes on the outskirts of the Great Wasteland, and leave the rest to Elantra himself.

But since Leon made the decision to try to rescue Elantra, both he and the other party understood that the promise had automatically expired. Because once the rescue operation is successful, the tree of life will finally be revealed to the world, and it is estimated that his identity and name will be discovered by some knowledgeable people little by little.

It's just that the operation hasn't taken place yet, and it's impossible to guess what the outcome will be, so Leon still has to hide Elite's name and his identity as the Tree of Life. (To be continued......)
