Upon hearing Leo's self-introduction, Duke Belmont was completely stunned. He looked at Leo in surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief, and at the same time, there was a strong sense of vigilance and hostility.

Duke Belmont's emotions were expressed so clearly that everyone else in the room could clearly feel it. Queen Teresa on the side was also the first to see Duke Belmont have such obvious emotions, so even though she felt sorry for the wizard in her heart

They were extremely curious about this thing and still chose to remain silent. Leo and Sylvia both felt surprised and thought of the behavior of some wizards, so they vaguely guessed something bad.

"Wizard? How could you be a wizard?" Duke Belmont couldn't help the inexplicable emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice.

Although Leo knew that if he continued to admit his identity as a wizard, something unpredictable might happen, he still asked: "Why can't I be a wizard?"

"You are completely different from the wizard in my memory." Duke Belmont walked up to Leo, looked at him seriously, and said, "I have no objection to you, but if you are really the wizard in my inherited memory,

That kind of wizard, then you are the enemy of our Belmont family."

Leo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Sylvia, who then interrupted: "Can I know why? Why are you so hostile to wizards?"

Duke Belmont did not answer, he just looked at Sylvia, then turned around, saluted Queen Theresa, and walked out of the room. It seemed that he did not intend to say another word to Leo and the others.

Leo and Sylvia didn't expect this unexpected situation at all. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I think I know why the Duke had such a big reaction?" At this time, Queen Theresa, who had remained silent, suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Leo and Sylvia both looked at Queen Theresa, waiting for her to give her answer.

Queen Theresa also directly told what she knew without hiding anything.

It turned out that when she was studying at the Belmont family castle as a child, she had read some books about the origins of the Belmont family, and one of the books mentioned an experience that the Belmont family regarded as the dark ages.

During that time, the ancestor of the Belmont family was a slave of a powerful being, and along with him were the companions, relatives, and friends of the ancestor of the Belmont family.

In the book, that powerful being was a complete madman. He not only tortured the ancestor of the Belmont family, but also experimented on him. He would even kill his relatives, friends and companions and then let him eat the corpses of his relatives, friends and companions.

All in all, during that time, the Belmont family ancestors suffered all the torture and torture the world could endure.

Later, that powerful being died in the battle with the gods, and the ancestors of the Belmont family were able to escape.

However, this does not mean that the nightmare is over, because the torture during that period was so intense that all feelings and memories were integrated into the blood. In the future, once the power of the blood is stimulated to a certain extent, the members of the Belmont family will

This memory hidden in the blood will be awakened, allowing the Belmont family to endure inhuman torture over and over again, and this torture will not end. Every time the power of blood is used, this torture will happen again.

Appear.

The main reason why the Belmont family has been sparsely populated over the years is because many Belmonts could not bear the torture over and over again and eventually chose to commit suicide.

After listening to Queen Teresa's description, Leo and Sylvia felt a little dumbfounded. They did not expect that they had suffered such an unreasonable disaster, but at the same time they could also understand why Duke Belmont showed such strong hostility just now.

, they even somewhat admired the Duke of Belmont's mentality that he still did not collapse after enduring so many years of torture.

"Do you have a way to solve this matter?" Sylvia felt sorry for the Belmont family in this world. At the same time, she also turned to look at Leo and asked.

"I don't understand the situation yet and can't give an answer." Leo thought for a moment and said, "And the important thing is that I don't know whether this blood inheritance memory is a feedback from the self due to too intense torture, or whether it is

Cursed by a wizard?"

"Curse?" Sylvia and Queen Teresa exclaimed in unison, and then they looked at each other again. Perhaps they saw a person with exactly the same appearance making the same actions and expressions. They found it very interesting and couldn't help but

Smiled.

Leo ignored the small movements of the two people, and while thinking about the problem, he explained: "The conditions for achieving bloodline inheritance memory are very demanding, or the development and awakening of bloodline power from generation to generation follow the same route. In the end,

Complete the solidification of bloodline memory, just like those superior races in the abyss, or transcend mortals, and the life form reaches the level of gods, and the bloodline memory is forcibly solidified through the power of gods." As he spoke, Leo looked at Sylvie

Ya, said: "You are the best example. Your life form has reached the demigod state, but you still have no way to solidify any memory in your own blood, right?"

Hearing this, Sylvia nodded. On the contrary, Queen Teresa on the side had a shocked expression on her face again when she heard Leo mention that Sylvia was already a demigod. There was no doubt that

, the shock she felt today was definitely the most she had experienced in so many years.

Leo continued: "Although I don't know how powerful the Belmont family ancestor was at that time, judging from the subsequent development of the Belmont family, his power should not have reached the level of a demigod, so he relied on himself.

It is obviously impossible to solidify the inherited memory in the bloodline with the power of others." As he spoke, he paused, and then said thoughtfully: "This inherited memory full of extreme torture is not so much a gift from the ancestors.

It is said to be a curse from the enemy, and judging from the experience of the Belmont ancestors that Her Majesty the Queen just told, the wizard was able to die with the gods, and must have the same power as the gods, so he has no obstacles in terms of basic conditions.

If I guessed correctly, the Belmont family ancestor should have played a key role in the death of wizards and gods, so..."

At this time, Duke Belmont, who had left before, reappeared at the door and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the ancestors did destroy the wizard's tower during the battle between the wizard and the God of Hunting, which directly led to the wizard's God-killing witchcraft.

There was a deviation and he was killed along with the God of Hunting."

Apparently after leaving the room, Duke Belmont calmed down quickly, and also thought of going with Sylvia, feeling that if Leo was really a wizard, then he might be able to solve the eternal torture in his family's bloodline

, so I returned outside the room, heard the conversation in the room, and looked for an opportunity to return to the room at the right time.

"It seems it must be a curse." Leo had long known that Duke Belmont was outside the door, so he did not show any surprise. He just calmly said to Duke Belmont: "I can try to help you solve the problem of blood inheritance memory.

But I can’t guarantee that it can be solved. After all, the wizard your family’s ancestors encountered was far more powerful than me now, and I may not be able to undo the curse he cast before his death.”

"It doesn't matter, just do your best." Although Duke Belmont's tone still sounded cold, it was much gentler than before. Then he couldn't wait to ask: "What do I need to do?"

"Now? You don't need to do anything now, and I can't do anything." Leo shook his head and said: "Cracking the curse is not a simple matter. It requires repeated attempts. Otherwise, not only will the problem not be solved,

Solving it will only worsen the situation." As he spoke, he thought for a while and said: "After the wizard and the gods died together, your family's ancestors should have taken away all the inheritance of the wizard and the gods, right? For example, the wizard's books

, the remains of the gods.”

When Duke Belmont heard this, he immediately thought of something and looked at Leo warily again. However, he didn't see anything unusual on Leo's face, so he thought about it and looked at Sylvia again.

, then nodded and said: "Indeed, only my ancestors survived at that time, and everything left behind by the wizards and gods after their death was inherited by my ancestors."

"Is Belmont Castle also part of the heritage?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"Yes, it is part of the inheritance." Duke Belmont nodded and admitted, and then said to Leo: "I don't think you can find any content about curses in the books left by the wizard. Our family has studied those books.

It has been a hundred years and there is still no harvest.”

"That's because you are not wizards." Leo pointed out the problem unceremoniously and said: "And I need those books not to find clues to the curse, but to understand who the wizard was back then.

What system, what is the source of his power? Although they are all wizards, each wizard has his own system. Different wizards have different original powers. Wizards are just a general term, just like the scholars in the academy.

.”

"In a certain respect, you are just like the scholars here." Duke Belmont also felt something.

"The same desire to explore the unknown." Leo summarized himself.

Duke Belmont said with great disdain: "Same crazy and bold, no scruples, and just as inhumane." After that, he returned to the topic and said: "I can give you the things left by the wizard to study, but you must go to the castle.

, deciphering the bloodline inheritance memory must also be done in the castle."

Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, then nodded and said, "I have no objection to this. I'm also curious about what the Belmont Family Castle looks like."

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Duke Belmont felt that there was no need to stay in the room any longer, and he was still very uncomfortable with Leo's identity as a wizard, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute." Leo immediately stopped the other party and said, "I promised to help you solve the problem of blood inheritance memory, so what reward are you, the Belmont family, going to pay?"

"Remuneration?" Duke Belmont was stunned.

"Of course it's reward," Leo smiled and said, "What I value is equal exchange. Since I have done something, I naturally need to be rewarded accordingly. You won't let me do it in vain, right?"

Hearing Leo's words, Duke Belmont opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a moment. In his memory, it seemed that there had never been a person like Leo who asked about remuneration face to face. He asked people to do things, or...

The family has already negotiated the reward, or the person is willing to help him, in short, there is no need for him to think about things like remuneration, so he has no experience and doesn't know how to speak for a while.

Queen Teresa was also very amused when she saw this scene. She had seen many stable and majestic Dukes of Belmont, and had never seen a Duke with such a blank expression on his face. This made her feel like a

Bystanders are also good, so I always sit aside with a smile and have no intention of interrupting.

Duke Belmont turned to look at Sylvia.

Sylvia shook her head and said, "This is your business and has nothing to do with me."

Duke Belmont couldn't help but smiled angrily and said, "I asked you to study the books and items left by the wizards. Can't this be considered as reward?"

Leo shook his head and said: "These are just the basic conditions that you must provide. The fundamental purpose of my research on those things is also to solve the problem of your bloodline inheritance memory. Of course, this cannot be regarded as reward."

"Speak for yourself, what do you want?" Duke Belmont said gloomily.

Leo thought for a while and said: "I can't think of what I want for the moment. I'll tell you when I think of it. But don't worry, the remuneration I offer is definitely something you can afford, and it won't exceed your psychological tolerance."

Bottom line stuff.”

After hearing this, Duke Belmont did not respond. He just snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the room. Judging from the footsteps that gradually faded away, this time he really left.

"Is this considered an agreement?" Leo turned to look at Queen Theresa and asked.

"Yes, I should have agreed." Queen Theresa said with a smile: "This is the first time I have seen the Duke like this. It is really interesting. It seems that I came to the academy at the right time."

Then, she looked at Leo and Sylvia seriously and asked, "Can I know the real purpose of coming here?"

Sylvia replied on behalf of the two of them: "You don't have to think too complicated about us. We come here just because there are enough books here and the research atmosphere is also very good. By the way, we want to learn about the Belmont family in this world. We

I don’t have any thoughts about your country.” As she said this, she paused, as if she had thought of something, and then said, “We can even engage in some cooperation that is beneficial to each other.”
