Minglan Winery used to be one of the largest wineries in the city of Beiruk. The wine produced here has represented the highest quality of Ote Federation wines for a long time. It is a pity that the subsequent successors of the winery were obsessed with gold speculation.

Mine, he lost all his property in a gold mining scam, and eventually committed suicide by taking poison. By the way, he also poisoned his family and the servants and workers in the manor with poisonous wine, etc. There were only two

The fruit pickers escaped because they did not drink.

Because of this incident, the winery was completely abandoned. Not only because the tragedy was so tragic that it made people feel that this place was an ominous place, but also because the recipes for the fine wines produced by Minglan Winery also followed the winery.

When the owner dies and disappears, the winery naturally loses its value.

Because the location of Minglan Winery is in the suburbs of Beluk City, it is a long way from the nearest village. Therefore, after the place was abandoned, it was completely abandoned. Weeds were overgrown everywhere, and the original gorgeous manor was also ruined.

It has turned into ruins, and coupled with the tragedy of that year, people who walk here can't help but feel a chill.

After getting off the car, Berger Hans led Leo towards the ruined buildings in the middle of Minglan Manor, and while using his cane to sweep away the weeds and shrubs in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and complained: "

Damn it, I knew that rat would definitely choose a ghost place like this as a gathering place, couldn’t he choose a more normal place?”

"If he didn't choose a place like this, then he wouldn't be a mouse." At this time, someone suddenly said in the weeds nearby.

Berger Hans did not show any nervousness. He seemed to recognize the identity of the other party from his accent, and said with a slightly mocking tone: "That's right, just like being sneaky is the characteristic of your shadow.

.”

As Berger Hans finished speaking, he saw a man emerging from the grass. He was covered tightly with a black mask, and the whole person and the surrounding darkness

Integrated into one, if he hadn't taken the initiative to appear, ordinary people passing by him might not be able to notice his existence.

The man nicknamed Shadow was obviously a member of the True Knowledge Society. He was not angry at Berger Hans's provocation. Instead, when he walked out, he aimed his gaze at Leo and looked him up and down.

The reason why Shadow pays extra attention to Leo is not only because Leo is a newcomer, but also because he had a strange feeling just now, feeling that this newcomer seemed to have discovered him hiding in the shadow of the trees from the beginning.

However, this speculation only flashed through his mind once and then disappeared immediately, because he was very confident in his hiding ability. He had used this ability to sneak into some world-famous places with tight control without anyone noticing.

, so many powerful guards were unable to detect his infiltration at that time, and now this newcomer should be unable to do anything either.

In fact, he didn't know that his intuition was right. Leo did discover him, and he discovered the moment he got out of the car that the abnormal energy emanating from him was like a burning stick in the surrounding environment.

The torch was equally eye-catching, and apart from him, Leo discovered several other people with abnormal energy among the ruins.

When the other party was sizing him up, Leo was also sizing him up in his own way. He probably knew that the abnormal energy in the other party did not come from himself, but from something under his clothes. This was

This thing should be something similar to the wonders of the Velen world. It has special energy and can produce a special protective effect. The effect of using that thing by the member of the True Knowledge Society in front of him should be to be able to hide in the shadows and combine with Su's witch power.

, Leo's shadow magic is somewhat similar.

"Is he the new guy you want to introduce at this party?" Shadow looked at Berger Hans, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and said, "I can let a stingy guy like you use the only quota.

It seems like he should have paid a lot of money, right?"

"Don't think that everyone is the same as you, and everything is about money." Berger Hans reprimanded without hesitation: "I invited the wizard to join because he has enough knowledge, and he has also come into contact with something.

Mysterious item.”

"Wizard? Is this the nickname he gave himself?" Shadow seemed to be more interested in the nickname Leo gave himself. The eyes under the mask revealed a hint of surprise and scrutiny. He looked at Leo again and said

: "I believe you. A person who can give himself the nickname wizard is indeed a person who has profound research on mysticism."

With that said, he had no intention of talking to Berger Hans anymore, and turned around and walked towards the ruins. Seeing this, Berger Hans followed him and said to Leo behind him: "That guy is a man of character.

He is an extremely bad lunatic. It is best to be careful when coming into contact with him to avoid being brought into trouble by him. Of course, it is best not to have any contact with him."

The shadow walking in front yelled dissatisfied: "Stingy guy, speaking ill of people behind their back is not the behavior of a gentleman."

"I didn't say anything bad about anyone behind their back, I said it in front of you." Bodger Hans obviously had a relationship with Shadow that was more of an enemy than a friend, and he retorted without hesitation after hearing what the other person said.

The three of them soon arrived at the ruins of the manor. At this time, there were already thirteen people waiting there. They each occupied an unknown place, either standing or squatting. One person even hung himself on the

On a wooden pole, it looks like a scarecrow in a rice field.

After the three people came in, the thirteen people waiting all looked at them in unison, but their eyes only glanced at the two people in front, and then they all fell on Leo who was walking behind.

At this time, Leo looked at the thirteen people in front of him without timidity.

When the thirteen people examined Leo, Leo also easily found people with mysterious items or mysterious powers among these people by sensing abnormal energy.

Yes, among the members of the True Knowledge Society who exude abnormal energy, the abnormal energy exuded by one person does not originate from the strange objects they possess, but from themselves, just like Velen

Just like the extraordinary person who opened the world's bloodline.

It's just that the abnormal energy in this person's body is not as relatively stable as that of an extraordinary person. Instead, it is very chaotic and disorderly. It feels like a bomb that will explode at any time. And this person with abnormal energy in his body is the one who treats himself as a scarecrow.

Members of the True Knowledge Society hanging on wooden poles.

"Stingy man, is this the new person you are going to recommend with your sole right of recommendation?" Among these people, a member with a somewhat old-sounding voice asked. This person is also one of the people with abnormal energy items.

After hearing what this man said, Leo was a little surprised and turned to look at Berger Hans. When the shadow called Berger Hans a miser just now, he thought that the other person was laughing at or contemptuous of Berger Hans.

Si, and now he realized that Berger Hans had nicknamed himself a miser, which made him want to laugh inexplicably.

Obviously, this old member had a different identity. When he heard the other party calling him a nickname, Berger Hans showed a completely different attitude from before. He saluted the other party very respectfully, and then introduced him very formally: "This

This is the new member I recommended. I believe that his joining will be of great help to our organization. By the way, this person’s nickname is the Wizard."

After hearing Berger Hans's introduction to Leo, most of the dozen or so people present did not show any abnormal emotions. Only those members with abnormal energy reactions made a weak sound.

The exclamation was the same as when Shadow heard the nickname before.

At this time, Leo also realized that the name wizard might have a special meaning in this world. You must know that the word wizard he used was in French. Logically speaking, people in this world should not understand it, and from that

Judging from the few people who responded, they obviously understood the word. Even if they didn't know its meaning, they should at least have heard a similar pronunciation.

"Being able to use such an ancient and mysterious word as your own nickname, it seems that you are very confident in ancient mysticism," the old man said, "Just judging by your ability to use this word, you do have the intention to join our organization.

Qualifications. However, the premise is that you can pass our test." As he spoke, he turned to a tall man wearing a sharp-toothed wolf mask and said: "Go get that gadget, since he is so confident.

If you dare to use the word wizard as a nickname, then he should be able to unlock that thing."

"It's not fair, it's not fair!" Berger Hans seemed to know what the old man was talking about, and shouted with great dissatisfaction: "The test for other people to join the association is so simple, just write a test

Just take the paper. Why do the people I recommend have to use that thing for the postgraduate entrance examination? I remember correctly that no one has spelled out that thing yet. You clearly don’t want the people I recommend to pass the test,"

The old man was not angry because he was criticized. Instead, he said calmly: "Stingy man, don't get excited! Although I took out that thing, he doesn't need to complete all the puzzle pieces. He only needs to put five pieces in to pass."

Yes. Everyone, what do you think?"

"Agree."

"I agree."

"No comment."

…

Everyone around him agreed with the old man's words. Berger Hans could no longer criticize this matter for a while. He could only turn his head and look at Leo behind him apologetically. It seemed that he obviously did not expect Leo to pass the test.

It didn't take long for the tall member of the True Knowledge Society to carry a big box into the ruins. Then at the old man's signal, he came to Leo, placed the box in his hand on the ground that had been cleaned, opened the box and opened it.

Thousands of square stones of equal size were poured out.

Leo looked at the stones, frowned slightly, squatted down and picked up a stone and looked at it. He found that these stones just looked like stones. In fact, they should be some kind of alloy, and they were extremely

It is strong, comparable to the armor of a battleship, and all six sides of this stone are engraved with scratches. These scratches are like part of a certain pattern, and the scratches on each side are different.

One square is already like this, and now thousands of squares are like this. Calculated in this way, the patterns that these squares can form will be an astronomical number. No wonder no one has been able to spell this thing before. Think about it, this is it

An astronomical patchwork method. Only the powerful intelligent devices in the universe can complete such a huge computing project.

The old man said in a deep voice: "This is a complete puzzle. As long as you put five of the pieces correctly, you will pass the test."

Leo questioned: "The miser just said that you haven't spelled out this pattern yourself, so how can you know whether I spelled it correctly or not?"

The old man smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have a special method to determine whether you spelled it correctly."

After hearing this, Leo squatted down and looked at the scattered blocks in front of him. People around him also gathered around, as if watching a play, waiting for Leo to start.

The gazes of the people around him didn't make Leo feel uncomfortable, and he didn't rush to pick out the stones to put together a pattern. He just stared at it for a long time. When the people around him started to lose their patience, he suddenly reached out and took out a stone from the pile of blocks.

The cubes were placed in front of me, and then without thinking, I took out another piece from the pile of cubes and placed it next to it. Then I started over and over again, constantly taking cubes from the pile of cubes and arranging them. Soon I had more than twenty pieces placed.

.

When the people around saw Leo's behavior, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then showed a little disappointment. It was obvious that they regarded Leo's behavior as a broken jar, and randomly took out the cubes and placed them together.

The connection between the squares has not been considered at all.

So, everyone dispersed and waited for the farce to end.

After putting thirty squares together, Leo stopped and said to the old man: "I've finished putting them together. Come and test their authenticity."

"Does this still need to be tested? It's just nonsense." Someone said dissatisfied.

Although Berger Hans on the side was dissatisfied with someone saying this, he couldn't defend Leo because he also thought that Leo was doing it randomly.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say anything. He took out a crystal ball the size of an eyeball from his pocket, then walked to the thirty squares that Leo had pieced together, squatted down and touched the square with the crystal ball.

Then, everyone saw that all the patterns on the surface of the cube lit up, and it floated into the air, rolled twice, and then landed on the ground.

At this moment, the ruins became silent, and everyone was shocked by the scene that just happened.

"Do I pass?" Leo waited for a while and saw that everyone had not recovered from the shock, so he took the initiative to ask.

"You! How did you do it?" The old man was the first to come to his senses. He stood up with great excitement and asked Leo: "Have you ever seen a complete puzzle?"
