Leo looked at the metal box over and over for a long time, as if it contained infinite mysteries. Just when Sylvia couldn't help but want to ask, Leo suddenly spoke in a Gamore language.

The language recited an incantation of unknown meaning.

As Leo's voice fell, circles of patterns began to appear on the metal box, which were layered together to cover the entire surface of the box.

Sylvia recognized this pattern at a glance as an extremely complex variation of the Turing root. Leo had taught her this Turing root and told her that this Turing root was the ancient high

The special wizard runes for tower wizards, only tower wizards who truly have ancient heritage

Only then did I understand how to use this kind of rune, just because this variant of the Turing root was too complicated and cumbersome to use, and was gradually replaced by other Turing roots that were more streamlined and funny. Later tower wizards were very fond of it.

Few people know how to combine Turing roots.

Leo deduced some of the secrets of the combination of Turing radicals exclusive to tower wizards from the contents recorded in various wizards' notes, but it still takes a long time to truly master the use of this Turing radical.

, and may even never be able to study it. This is mainly because all the research materials related to this are from some fragments of notes. The content is very small and not enough for him to study a complete wizard rune system.

.

However, now it seems that the flaws in his research materials have been completed. The metal box is now a wizard's rare object made entirely with wizard runes dedicated to wizards in the tower, although he doesn't know what this thing is used for.

Yes, but just the mutation of the Turing characters on the surface of the box is already priceless to him.

Just now, he did not completely decipher the meaning of the Turing root variants on the surface of this strange object, nor did he figure out how to use it. He just tentatively used a branch of Gamorei language used by ancient tower wizards.

, said an ancient prophecy of the tower wizard - the gods must perish, but the truth will last forever.

Because it was just a trial, he didn't think about what effect it might have. But what he didn't expect was that after the prophecy was spoken, the metal box actually changed. It was like an intelligent combination module, constantly changing and moving its shape, changing rapidly.

Appearance, and the interesting thing is that no matter how its appearance changes, the wizard runes on its surface will also be reorganized into new runes, and all the reorganized runes are complete without any defects.

Because Leo quickly scanned and recorded the reorganized forms of various Turing root variants of the metal box, he didn't care about the final form of the box. It wasn't until he was sure that he had memorized all the wizard runes that he stopped focusing on

After coming back to his senses, he looked around to understand the situation in the room, and then focused his attention on the metal box.

However, calling it a metal box at this moment is a bit undeserving of its name, because after more than a dozen shape changes at this moment, the metal box has turned into an almost perfect triangle.

"This is...?" After seeing this nearly perfect triangle, Sylvia seemed to feel familiar and felt that she had seen it somewhere before. After thinking about it, she suddenly remembered and said urgently: "

Is this the key to the tower?"

"Yes, it is the key to the tower." Leo nodded in confirmation.

When he was in Velen, Leo had studied wizard towers for a period of time, especially the wizard towers of ancient high tower wizards. For this purpose, he collected a large amount of relevant information, from wizard notes to folklore, and also studied

Some content came out.

For example, the Tower Wizard's Wizard Tower has gone through seven construction method improvements starting from the bottom foundation. The most mature construction method and the one that has been used the longest is the fifth improvement method. The reason why it is said to be the most mature construction method and the longest time used.

Long, because this method is the easiest to build. As long as you are a wizard and have some financial resources, you can build it. The materials can be ordinary stones. After the construction is completed, you can carve some Turing roots on the surface.

But in fact, the wizard tower of the ancient high tower wizard is not such a simple construction method. First, the ancient high tower wizard needs to capture a stable subspace demiplane as the building cornerstone, and then build the wizard tower in the demiplane. The wizard tower

Every stone used must be high-energy material, and some powerful tower wizards can even create a tower spirit similar to artificial intelligence to take care of and maintain the wizard tower.

If ordinary people or people who are not strong enough want to enter and exit such a real wizard tower, they need the owner of the wizard tower to help them tear open a space rift and then lead them into the wizard tower, or directly use the tower wizard to create it

Enter with a key, and the people who hold such keys are usually people close to the tower wizard, some are family members of the tower wizard, and some are students.

The main reason why Sylvia was able to recognize this triangle as the key to the wizard tower at a glance was because almost all the keys made by ancient tower wizards were the same triangle, because the triangle can provide stable energy, and

When opening the space rift, it can also eliminate the chaotic energy of the rift, so in all the records of the ancient tower wizard wizard tower, there is a triangular key drawn.

"Can this key be used now?" Sylvia asked curiously.

"No." Leo shook his head with certainty and said, "If it can be used, then we should appear in the wizard tower of the high tower wizard now." As he said, he changed the subject and said: "But

, this key is not bad, it is just that due to some unknown reasons, the coordinates of the subspace demiplane where the Wizard Tower is located cannot be found, and cannot be located, so the space rift passage cannot be opened."

"Is it because the Wizard Tower is too far away in the world of Velen?" Sylvia asked again.

"Probably not. The distance in subspace cannot be analyzed according to normal thinking, because the space and time in subspace are chaotic. The distance we think is out of reach may only need to take one step to reach it in subspace.

." Leo denied Sylvia's guess, then thought about it and said: "It may be related to the divine law that shrouded the old continent, or it may be that the key is incomplete. In short, it needs to be studied carefully.

Only then can we be sure." As he said that, he looked at Dean Thomas, who had been standing aside and listened to the conversation between the two, and asked: "Dean Thomas, may I ask where you got this thing from?"

Dean Thomas could barely understand the conversation between Leo and Sylvia. He knew that the box he had collected for many years without knowing what it was was actually a key that could open the secret base of an underground organization called the Wizard.

, but now it cannot be used for some reasons.

So, after hearing Leo's inquiry, Dean Thomas did not answer immediately, but asked tentatively: "If this key can open the entrance to that wizard tower, can I go with it?"

Upon hearing this, Leo and Sylvia looked at each other, and then Leo smiled and said: "Of course, this key is yours, and of course you are qualified to go together."

Hearing Leo's acceptance, Dean Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when he asked the question, he was still a little uneasy. After all, if Leo didn't agree, there was nothing he could do. After all, Leo and Sylvia

He can no longer be regarded as an ordinary scholar of the city. With their current reputation and close relationship with the Theresa royal family and the Belmont family, his status as the dean of the city has no binding force at all.

Now that he heard Leo's promise, Dean Thomas felt relieved and answered truthfully: "This is the sacred object of the Tilan tribe. I once helped the Tilan tribe survive a disaster and helped them

I found a safe settlement. In order to thank me, their clan leader gave me the most precious thing in their clan. Originally I didn't intend to accept it, but I felt that this thing should be a relic of prehistoric civilization, so

Receive it. It’s a pity that after so many years of research on this thing, there is still no progress.”

"Tilan tribe?" Leo quickly found information about this ethnic group in his mind, and after checking the information, he gradually understood why the key to the wizard tower was in the hands of the Tilan tribe.

The Tilan tribe is a very special one among the various races in the Old World. In addition to the visible racial culture such as language, writing, and clothing, this race is completely different from other races in the world. More importantly, this race cannot be compared with other races.

People intermarry because they will not have any offspring after marrying someone outside their ethnic group. It is said that this is because their entire ethnic group has been cursed by a certain true god.

In addition, the ethnic legend of the Tilan people mentions a promised land given to them by the gods. They first lived in that promised land and lived a life of plenty of food and clothing. Later, because the ethnic group violated the rules set by the gods, they were expelled.

They were driven out of the Promised Land and eventually wandered into the outside world. The greatest desire and goal of their tribe was to return to the Promised Land.

Regarding the Tilan tribe itself, leaving aside their unique ethnic culture and legends, the so-called curse that this ethnic group cannot produce offspring with people outside the ethnic group made Leo immediately think of reproductive isolation.

Although there is no physical difference between the humans in this world and the humans in Velen's world, after countless years of evolution, as well as the mutations and pollution caused by the intervention of the gods, the humans in the two worlds have changed from the cellular and even genetic levels.

Differentiation has occurred, so to be correct, they should be regarded as two different races with the same appearance but different internals. In this situation, reproductive isolation will naturally occur.

As for why the Theresa Royal Family and the Belmont Family have not experienced reproductive isolation and can still reproduce with humans in this world, I am afraid it is more because of the Abyss Demonic Dragon bloodline in their bodies. You must know that the Abyssal Demonic Dragon is the highest among all the abyssal superior species.

They are the only race that does not have reproductive isolation. They can produce offspring with almost any superior species or even inferior species as long as they wish.

Reproductive isolation, the wizard's tower key from the ancient high tower wizard, and the Promised Land and Origin in the Tilan Tribe's national legend. When all the clues are combined together, we can already come up with an answer. The Tilan Tribe is a certain

The vassal race of the Tower Wizard used to live in the subspace demiplane of the Wizard Tower. For unknown reasons, they were sent out of the Wizard Tower and eventually became an ethnic group that was incompatible with this world.

"Where did you place the Tilan tribe?" Leo thought for a while and asked Dean Thomas.

"There is a small valley in the upper reaches of the Riliu River. That small valley used to have no name, but because the Tilan people settled there, the locals gave it the name Tilan Valley. Its location should be able to be found on the map.

"While Dean Thomas was talking, he walked to the map of Theresa's Kingdom hanging on the wall, glanced at it, and then pointed to a location about four to five hundred kilometers away from the academic city and said: "Here, here

That’s where Tilan Valley is.”

Leo looked at the location pointed out by Dean Thomas, wrote it down, and said, "I'll keep the thing here for a while. I'll study it to see what's wrong with it and see if I can repair it.

The point of use.”

Naturally, Dean Thomas would not refuse Leo's request. Then he stood up and said that he would not disturb Leo's time anymore. After asking if there was anything needed, he left Leo and Sylvia's research institute.

After Dean Thomas left, Leo rang the bell and called Bohr in, asking him to lead his scholars to sort out the information in the room and report the completed research projects to the project committee.

Then bring back some previously stalled or abandoned research projects.

"Is there any news about Penny and Joan?" Sylvia asked Bol while sorting out the information.

"There is no news." Bol shook his head and said, "However, the last time they appeared was in Ji'an Province, and they said they had been in contact there."

Although Penny and Qiao An both have amazing talents in their respective fields, when it comes to learning knowledge, their talents are not as good as those of ordinary children born in the school city. Leo arranged for them to go to the first school district to take classes, but the results were all the same.

Exceptionally, they all regarded the teacher's voice as a lullaby and the classroom as a bedroom.

Under this situation, Leo felt that it was unnecessary to continue to force the two of them to stay in the Academic City to study, so he sent the two of them out to look for clues related to the Transcendent Organization.

Things did not go beyond their expectations. The implant in Qiao An was obviously a special existence that was very important to the Transcendent Organization. Therefore, just two days after Qiao An left the Academic City, people from the Transcendent Organization began to

came into contact with it, and even encountered several attacks in the process, and those few

This attack gave people the impression that it was not intended to kill Joan, but to injure or knock him out. As a result, it is conceivable that the strength of Joan, who has received training from Leo, is far beyond that of ordinary Paladins.

What's more, Penny secretly assisted, so in the end every attack was a near miss.
