The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Seeing the attitude of Charles Ranco and others, Leo also felt that the problem was very serious. The fact that the Alcott family was not allowed to enter the abandoned capital was far from as simple as he thought. There seems to be other reasons for the Alcott family's ban on using the resources of the abandoned capital to develop itself.

At this time, Peter Alcott took the initiative to stand up and said: "You are a little wrong to blame Mr. Leo. He actually doesn't know why the Wizards Association banned the Alcott family from entering the abandoned capital."

Riise, the black-robed wizard, retorted: "How is this possible? Anyone in the Wizarding Association knows the reason for this ban."

"But what if he's not a member of the Wizarding Association?" Peter Alcott said calmly.

"You're talking..." Charles Ranko was about to refute, but he stopped again, as if thinking of something, his eyes towards Leo became a little strange, and he asked in a deep voice: "Are you really not a wizard?" Association?"

Although Peter Alcott revealed his identity in this way, which made Leo feel a little dissatisfied, he finally did not quibble, but nodded and admitted, saying: "I just said that my teacher is a hermit wizard, but But never admitted that I was a member of the Wizarding Association."

"Who are you?" Charles Ranko stared at Leo in surprise, and asked, "Are you from the foggy area? Are you from them?"

Leo looked indifferently at the three members of the Wizarding Association in front of him, and said, "Who am I? This issue should not be the most important issue now. No matter who I am, we all need to face the same problem now. Something happened to you I'm not going to have a good time either, so shouldn't you all focus on the right place? For example, how to get what you want smoothly and then get out of here."

Hearing what Leo said, the three members of the Wizarding Association showed wry smiles on their faces. They already believed that Peter Alcott's words were true. Leo really didn't know that after the members of the Alcott family entered the abandoned capital, What will happen, otherwise, he would not be able to speak so easily.

"Why did you do this?" Seeing that Leo really didn't understand anything, Charles Ronco also turned his finger on Peter Alcott and asked, "You must know that you are also very likely You will die, and even if you don't die, you will be trapped here forever, just like those ashes."

"I just want to get rid of the fate of the Alcott family!" Peter Alcott sneered.

"This is the contract signed by the ancestors of your Alcott family and the Wizarding Association, and it is the fate that your Alcott family recognizes." The black-robed wizard Reese glared at Peter Alcott fiercely, and said: "You After enjoying the various benefits that the contract brings to you, do you think it is enough to say that you don’t want to bear the responsibility of the contract?”

Peter Alcott sneered and said: "You also said that this contract was signed by the ancestors of the Alcott family, why should I, a descendant, bear it, and I did enjoy the benefits brought by the contract, don't I Is it just enjoying the benefits? Without my help, how could the fortress castle in the fog zone be built? Without the fortress castle to keep the monsters in the fog zone out, how could the people of the Lake District League live so peacefully? Isn’t this What have I paid? When it comes to giving, I have paid much more than you guys who only know how to ask for resources from the Lake District Alliance and have never sent people to the front line. What qualifications do you have to accuse me?"

What Peter Alcott said made the three wizards speechless to refute, because compared to other members of Alcott's family, Peter Alcott is definitely an alternative among the alternatives, and he is so good that the Wizards Association has to understand The order forbids him to come into contact with the mysteries of power such as witchcraft, but even this can hardly conceal the light of Peter Alcott. The contribution of the fortress castle in the foggy area alone is comparable to those sages who died for the safety of the lake area.

As Peter Alcott said, his contribution did far exceed the benefits he obtained from the contract, and no one present was qualified to blame him.

"Do you think you can escape the power of the contract by possessing your puppet and smuggling to the abandoned city?" Jesse the spiritual wizard said: "The contract is the soul contract made jointly by the supreme chief and the ten great mages. Among the souls of the Alcott family, no matter where you are, as long as your soul is still there, the role of the contract will definitely not disappear."

"No, there is a way to cancel the contract." Without waiting for Peter Alcott to refute, the black-robed wizard Riise revealed the other party's plan in one word, saying: "He wants to use the power of feathers to reshape the soul and Body, am I right? Your Excellency Peter!"

"I didn't know that the Eye of Truth can see through other people's true thoughts? Your Excellency Riise, your devotion to the Eye of Truth is really admirable." Peter Alcott did not admit it, but his slightly joking words undoubtedly affirmed The black robe wizard guessed.

And hearing Peter Alcott's words, the black-robed wizard Reese's face became extremely gloomy, because the goal of this trip to the abandoned capital was also to crystallize the library's feathers.

"Hehe!" Charles Ranko on the side suddenly sneered twice, glared at Peter Alcott angrily, and said, "Do you think there is still a chance to go to the Crystallization Library to get the feather? The rules of the Abandoned City have been changed. Now everything here is real. Our wounds are real, and our deaths are real. Do you think it is possible for us to leave alive if we go to the Crystal Library in this state? ?”

"Can you tell me what changes will be caused by the entry of the members of the Alcott family into the abandoned capital?" Leo interjected and asked.

Charles Ronco looked at Leo as if looking at a poor creature, and was not interested in answering this question, and the other two wizards also hated Leo, the culprit of the current predicament, so they did not answer. interest.

Peter Alcott felt that the matter had come to this point, and it was useless to conceal it, so he said truthfully: "The reason why the ancestors of the Alcott family were able to sign a contract with the Wizarding Association is because of the blood and soul of the Alcott family. There is a mysterious power that transforms illusion and reality. Didn't I say it before? Our world is a false illusion that exists only because every member of our Alcott family will become A sacrifice that stabilizes that illusory world."

"Hmph!" Charles Ranko said disdainfully: "It's another set of illusory heresies. The chaos society appeared because of this kind of heresy. I didn't expect you to be a member of the chaos society."

Peter Alcott did not refute the expeditioner's speculation about his identity as a member of the Chaos Society. He continued to explain to Leo: "Because of the special blood and soul of our Alcott family, we have entered the abandoned capital, It will cause some changes. For example, even if a person who entered the abandoned city before was injured in the abandoned city and died in the abandoned city, it is only equivalent to a dream. When the entrance to the abandoned city is closed, he will be in the abandoned city again The place where they left was revived, and it was a complete resurrection, and they could get all the resources obtained from the abandoned city. The only loss was some spirit and mana. So because they would not die, they decided to venture into it so boldly The big library is looking for the treasures they want. But the moment I entered the abandoned city, the rules of the abandoned city or more correctly, the rules of the big library changed, and everyone in the big library was either trapped in the These undead ashes will die when they receive fatal injuries, and the injuries received on their bodies will not recover."

"Lang Baxian and Solo Khan may be dead!" At this time, the black-robed wizard Reese suddenly said: "According to the rules here, we entered the abandoned capital at the same time, so when we are at the exit node, we will also die." They should appear at the same time, but they haven't appeared yet, so there is only one possibility, they are already dead, and they are really dead."

Everyone fell silent when they heard this, but compared to the panic on the brows of the three wizards, Leo and Peter Alcott seemed much calmer, as if there was no such thing as life and death. Take things seriously.

Peter Alcott had expected this situation long ago, and had already prepared for life or death, so he was able to be so calm, but Leo's calmness was a bit strange, and even he himself felt something was wrong .

At first, Leo thought that he could be so calm because the effect of the Serenity Potion had not faded, but after seeing the personal data interface, he found that the effect of the drug had already passed, and now he was not in an absolutely sane state.

After carefully looking for the reason, Leo felt that the reason why he was so calm might have something to do with Mongoya's gaze, but this was just his last guess after failing to find other reasons, and there was no real evidence to prove it. prove.

"It's useless to say anything now, let's think about how to get out of trouble!" Facing the issue of life and death, even though Charles Ronco hated Peter Alcott and Leo very much, he still suppressed the hatred in his heart. He said rationally: "Things have changed, and it is no longer suitable to go to the Crystal Library. We still stay here to see if we can kill the watcher and get the dream stone that opens the exit from him." He turned to Leo and said, "This incident was caused by you, we don't need to hold you accountable, but you must help us get rid of the guards here, otherwise, even if we die, we will die." Get rid of you first."

After Charles Ranko finished speaking, the black-robed wizard Reese and the spiritual wizard Jesse both stood beside him, expressing their support for his proposal with actions.

Facing the threat, Leo did not confront each other, but turned his head to look at Peter Alcott, and then nodded without waiting for Peter Alcott's response: "Yes, I can help you get rid of the watchers first, but I will not leave, I will still go to the Crystal Library."

Leo's decision stunned the four people around him for a moment. For the three wizards including the Expeditionist, it doesn't matter whether Leo continues to go to the Crystal Library, as long as the other party agrees to help them get rid of the caretaker here. .

But Peter Alcott looked at Leo with some doubts. Naturally, he would not think that Leo continued to go to the Crystal Library to keep his promise to help him find the feather, so he was very puzzled by Leo's decision. And guess whether Leo is also determined to get something in the crystal library.

"I also agree to assist, but I have a request," said Peter Alcott, since everyone else had already made a decision, and naturally he could not object, but he still decided to fight for the best interests for himself.

"You still have the right to ask for it..." The black-robed wizard Reese looked angry, and pulled out a monster skull engraved with runes from his sleeve, as if he was about to attack Peter Alcott.

"Wait! Your Excellency Riser." Charles Ranko stopped his companion, then suppressed his anger, and said to Peter Alcott: "Say it! What do you want?"

Peter Alcott said calmly: "Don't worry, my request is very simple, just tell me and Mr. Leo Dodd all the information you know about the Crystal Library."

Charles Ronco frowned, noncommittal.

Peter Alcott continued: "I know that you must have concealed some important information in the crystallization library. Those important materials can make it easier for you to obtain the magic book of the crystallized old man, and you don't even need to kill the crystallized old man, right? ?”

Charles Ronco hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't give you complete information, I will only tell you some information related to feathers."

"Your Excellency Charles Rank..." The black-robed wizard Reese was obviously very dissatisfied with Charles Rank's decision, because his goal was also feathers, and he obviously felt that Charles Rank was helping others to steal his own things.

In order to ease the dissatisfaction of the black-robed wizard, Charles Ranko made a promise: "There is not only one feather. After this matter is over, we will go to the Crystal Library again. At that time, I will help you find the feather first." , I’m going to get the magic book of the crystal old man.” Then, he turned to look at Peter Alcott and said, “Do you think it’s okay?”

Although Peter Alcott wanted complete information, Charles Ranko would not give it to him. After all, it involved Charles Ranko's own interests, so he didn't say anything more, nodded and agreed to help deal with This layer is the requirement of the library keeper.

Afterwards, everyone temporarily let go of the hatred in their hearts, and began to discuss how to set up traps and how to deal with the guards. From the beginning to the end, Leo did not speak, but just listened. He learned from the information about the keeper of this library provided by several people during the conversation that the high-level demon he encountered before was indeed the keeper.

Unlike other high-level demons and great demons in the library, which can only patrol within a certain area, this guardian can roam anywhere in this layer of the library without being restricted, so choosing an ambush location is very important. And the big tree hole where everyone is now is one of the best places, because the watchman has a high chance of listing this place as one of the inspection routes.
