Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Key to the Seal City
Separated from Illidah, Leo met with Bedar smoothly, and then told the process of his mission according to Leo's teaching.
However, he did not mention specific analysis and speculation, only that after following Lenny, he encountered a powerful strange man, and Lenny's leg was healed. And he was almost caught up and lost his life.
After the whole story, Bedar's face was a little solemn: "You were introduced by Leo, so I believe you won't deceive me about this kind of thing." In that case, the difficulty and danger of this mission are indeed beyond the scope of what it should be, and it is a serious mistake on my part, and I am sorry for the danger caused to you. Fortunately, there were no serious consequences. So I'll teach you the news you need, and you can get some other news from me as compensation. ”
This answer surprised Leo, who did not expect that this Bedar was not only a trustworthy person, but also attached great importance to his reputation.
Bedar's eyes were still as keen as ever, and he instantly saw Leo's thoughts, and said with a smile: "For people like me, reputation is life, and if there is no reputation, then all efforts will be ruined." ”
As he spoke, he pulled out an envelope from his pocket, handed it to Leo, and continued, "This is the information you requested, obtained through expedited channels. Now you can ask me other questions. Of course, I can only answer the question, and if I don't know, then you have to change the question. ”
Actually, Leo didn't have anything else he wanted to know, so he decided to read the news before deciding.
Belda didn't object, but closed her only eye, not knowing if she was recuperating or thinking about something.
Opening the envelope, Leo pulled out a piece of plain paper, on which lines of text were written in lingua franca. The handwriting was very neat. Just like the printers printed out in his previous life, from this point, it can also be seen that Bedar and the forces behind him are not ordinary people.
After a few minutes, Leo finished reading the contents of the paper and a smile appeared on his face.
Judging from the information received, this is really rare good news in recent times.
Calent's southern front, after months of tug-of-war, although the Rivemonton School of Magic and Magic suffered huge losses, just the loss of many mages above the senior level, but with the support of the entire Calente Empire. In the end, he successfully repelled the attack of the Dark Elf coalition, drove them back underground, and even successfully killed a Sanctuary-level powerhouse under the attack of two legendary mages.
Now, the Ravington School of Magic has completed the repair work on the Floating Island and has begun to resume classes. This matter was notified to all the academy students who had taken refuge outside through various magical journals half a year ago, but Leo never had the opportunity to come into contact with them, so he never knew about it.
The sudden outbreak of war also made the Alien Empire aware of the threat in the south, so it specially arranged for the Central Army to come to support and build several garrison forts on the edge of the dark forest. An elite standing force was left behind to form a horn defense with Raventon, so that they could immediately support each other in the event of an attack from any direction.
On the Eastern Front. The local nobles cooperated with the border guards to effectively resist the invasion of the desert tribes, and even at the end of the war, they also went deep into the desert to attack the tribes of orcs and trolls. For a time, the area bordering the desert and the Lunar Empire was empty, and perhaps there would be no more large-scale wars for decades.
In addition, the information highlights several families that received special awards for their outstanding performance in the war, including the Joseph family. Now the family has been successfully promoted to the Marquis family. Not only has the area of the fief been expanded, but the number of troops that can be owned has also been increased, and finally it has completely entered the ranks of high-ranking nobles.
Leo had little interest in knowing about the Marquis of Joseph's ambitions, he just wanted to know what kind of losses the Academy had suffered, and whether any of the people he knew had misfortune.
However, unfortunately, these details are not mentioned in the information.
Leo's heart now just wants to get back to the academy as soon as possible, for him, although he has walked out of Joseph's castle, the academy is truly like home.
There are teachers, friends, familiar surroundings, longing magic, a foundation to become stronger, everything.
With such news, Leo quickly determined what he was going to do next.
Return to the Academy, continue to study magic, continue to improve your strength, and one day, you can enter Lordaeron and touch the core of magical power in this world.
As for the people of the rising sun who may have something to do with it, it is not very important to him. At the moment, this contract is just an internship contract, and as for whether to choose to work there in the future, you can make a decision slowly.
"I'm already intermediate now, and if I return to the academy, I can bring an entourage with me, but what about Leo and Vanessa?" Leo pondered silently, "but judging from the current situation, Leo seems to be prepared, maybe he has found a place to go." Maybe his current strength may not be as good as before, but there must still be a high-level level, and there is not much loss of relationships and paths, and he can completely leave the main material plane and take refuge in other secondary planes. ”
Although he didn't know what Leo was going to do now, he could judge from some clues that it would definitely not be so easy to leave the Supreme Forest smoothly with Isa. Perhaps, what Leo wants to do is precisely for this.
At this time, Bedar handed over a cup of moonshine green tea, a specialty of the Supreme Forest, and said, "How is it, have you figured out what to ask?" or are you going to keep this opportunity and use it later?"
Truth be told, the High Forest didn't make much of a good impression on Leo. In his expectation, this place should be very calm and beautiful, and the moon elf should be elegant and noble.
But the reality is not so.
The environment and scenery here are indeed difficult to see in the human world, but they always give people a feeling of undercurrent surging and gloom.
The moon elves they came into contact with, except for a few, mostly held their heads high, maintaining an unapproachable arrogance and coldness, and contempt for other races.
So Leo knew that once he left, he wouldn't come back. Unless I'm going to visit Illidia in the future, but that could be many years from now.
He quickly decided to use the opportunity he had now.
After a moment's thought, Leo said, "I want to know, have there been any major events happening recently?"
Bedar raised a finger and shook it gently: "This question is too general, I can't answer you, please change the question." ”
Leo smiled, put away his confused thoughts, and asked instead, "So has anything happened about the Demon Hunter recently?"
This question can be answered. Bedar wasn't surprised that Leo would mention the Demon Hunter. Then he took out the notebook from his pocket and flipped through it quickly.
On the other side, Leo carefully observed the anti-opposition's expression, but found no clues.
This made it impossible for him to decipher, whether Bedar had known about it for a long time, or whether it was because of professional habits, he did not make a statement.
After a while, Bedar found what he was looking for and said, "Here." Not long ago, the Purgatory Elves in the lower realms tried to absorb demonic energy and reshape the demon hunter's inheritance, and their experiment failed again. ”
"Netherworld, Infernal Elves?" Leo didn't expect to get such an answer.
The original intention of his question was to find out if there was anything about the demon pigmen in the Supreme Forest, but the other party went directly to the lower realm.
Seeing Leo's puzzled face. Berdar explained it to him in detail.
The hidden race of the Purgatory Elves, like the Moon Elves and Sun Elves, is also derived from the High Elves.
They consist of two parts, one of which was taken captive to the lower realm when demons invaded the main material world. Acting as a toy for slaves and demon bosses, they escaped when the devil began to attack the devil's lair; It is a person who escaped into the lower realm through the spatial rift left by the demons when the High Elves cleansed the demon hunters. It's just that most of these people are relatives of demon hunters, and they haven't mastered the core secrets of demon hunters' growth.
And the elf race is very easy to talk about environmental influences, which can be seen from the many branches.
Thousands of years after reaching the lower realms, infected by negative energy, a new race emerged, known as the Infernal Elves. They have given up their original goodness and turned into an evil neutral race, because the population is really unable to compete with the large number of other races in the lower realm, so they can only find a living space in the gap between demons and devils.
Bedar obviously knew this very well, and gushed out: "If they can regain the secret of the demon hunter, they can gain an advantage over the demon in combat power, which will attract the devil to expand their living space." ”
After a pause, he continued, "According to the information I just received, last month, after suffering a huge sacrifice, they finally succeeded in capturing a Barlow Flame Demon, but they still haven't reached the second stage of breaking through and absorbing demonic energy. Alas, the Demon Hunter's inheritance has been lost for a long time, and it belongs to a high-level inheritance that fits the rules very well, and now it is difficult to recover it again. ”
For Leo, Bedar's information was too far away, so it only gave him the feeling that he was listening to a story.
Soon, however, Leo realizes that something doesn't seem right.
How far is the Nether from the Supreme Forest?
This is a question that no one can answer, because the two are not on the same plane at all.
So what does it mean that what happened a month ago can be transmitted to the Supreme Forest so clearly?
Leo suddenly realized that the intelligence channels of Bedar and the people behind him are very extensive, and they have a unique way of transmitting them!
No wonder Leo became so sure when he learned about it.
Thinking of this, he said tentatively: "Thank you, Mr. Bedar, for such interesting news. But I also want to take the liberty of asking, do you have anything to do with the people of the rising sun?"
Bedar still maintained a watertight attitude, and said with a smile: "Haha, young human, why do you think so?"
The other party did not refuse, which made Leo confident, and immediately replied: "Because I have heard that this organization is the best intelligence organization in the world, and they can get all the information as long as they want." ”
"It's an exaggeration, but it's not far off. Berdar looked deeply into Koo with his one-eyed eye for a moment before he continued, "Tell me, what do you want from me?
Such words not only reveal Leo's identity, but also amount to acknowledging his identity.
He is indeed from the people of the rising sun!
And if he was usually seen by someone, Leo would definitely be very surprised, but for the people of the rising sun, he would no longer feel so, after all, he was chased by others in the shadow world at the beginning.
However, he still asked curiously, "Mr. Bedar, did you see my identity from the beginning?"
"Of course not, I just confirmed your ten. Bedar shook his head, then blinked again, and continued, "We can't do this without a particularly keen eye. So, you're already planning to sign a contract with us?"
"Yes, but I have an additional condition. Leo decided to get straight to the point, and in his opinion, it was obviously not a good decision to hide something from the people of the rising sun.
Berdar took a sip of green tea, and then said, "Tell me, if it's within reason, I'll try to help you." The premise is that I and the organization cannot be exposed, and we cannot get involved in the disputes of other forces. As you should be aware, we have always taken an absolutely neutral stance. ”
"Yes, I understand. Leo replied, his heart suddenly moving, "If you can, I'd like you to take me and my friends to the Seal City." ”
In response to Leo's request, Bedar was not surprised at all, but somehow he found a small silver key, "This is the key of the seal, it opens the portal to the city of the seal, and connects directly to the teleportation center of the headquarters. ”
"Give it to me?!" Leo was pleasantly surprised! If it was really as Bedar said, with the Key of the Seal, not to mention that Illidia's journey would be very convenient, and even he could go to the Seal City, and then find the portal to the Alien Empire, it would be very safe and fast.
Bedal smiled: "Yes, when you sign the contract, it is yours." (To be continued......)
