"Wizard?" After hearing Leo's self-introduction, everyone showed a little doubt on their faces, because they didn't know what a wizard was and could only find a similar thing from their daily knowledge, such as a witch doctor.

After comparison, it turned out that Leo didn't look like a witch doctor at all.

However, Earl Belmont is different from others around him. He really knows what the French word wizard means. His face is more of surprise than confusion, which also shows that his father, the Duke, does not

He didn't tell him everything about Leo.

Before he met Leo and Sylvia, he paid more attention to Sylvia, whose pure bloodline far surpassed that of any other tribe. As for treating him as Sylvia's husband, even if the other party

It has the reputation of being the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge.

However, now Leo's self-introduction made him realize that he had underestimated Leo, because in the records he saw left by the family ancestors, wizards were existences comparable to gods, even if he didn't even know that now.

I can't see any sign of being worthy of a god from Leo.

Just when Count Belmont was looking at Leo again, the tribesman responsible for installing the transmission device came up to report that the device had been installed and needed Count Belmont to open it.

Earl Belmont did not waste time. After all, it was not very comfortable on the top of Mount Moore with the thin air and biting wind. He walked to one of the master control devices, then raised his hand and pressed it on the identification panel above the device.

, and said an activation command in the somewhat awkward-sounding Earth Federation language.

This order is just a series of numbers. Even ordinary people in the Earth Federation will not hear any useful information if they hear it. However, Leo can analyze the structure of this series of numbers and figure out the fleet number represented by this series of numbers, and

After comparing the data in his memory bank, he found that the fleet represented by the opening order number was not in the record. Judging from the number characteristics alone, this should be a fully organized main battle fleet.

Just as Leo was quickly extracting various information in his mind, all the placed transmission devices were activated, and the energy fields were connected to each other, forming a silver-blue semicircular energy cover.

"No matter what happens later, don't resist. The process may be a little uncomfortable, but it will be over soon." After Earl Belmont introduced the situation to Sylvia and Leo, he took the initiative to walk in.

In the energy shield.

Other members of the Belmont family also entered the energy shield one after another. Leo and Sylvia followed without saying anything.

After everyone entered the energy shield, Earl Belmont spoke another activation command, and then saw all the energy collapse towards the center, turning into a singular point and disappearing, and during the collapse process, the energy field

Everything from people to devices also disappeared together.

After the Leo device in the teleportation energy field was activated, he felt a strong pulling force. This pulling force was very different from the pulling force of the space rift.

The pulling force in the space rift comes from all directions, and people inside it will have the illusion of being torn into pieces at the next moment, but the pulling force in the energy field of the space transmission device comes from the same direction, as if there is a

It seemed like an invisible rope was pulling him to move quickly in one direction.

This strong pulling force came and went quickly, disappearing in just a moment. Sylvia and Leo easily adapted to this pulling force and only felt a little dizzy before returning to normal.

However, it was not the first time for the direct descendants of the Belmont family to use this device. However, it seemed a little difficult to adapt to it, and their faces were ugly. Some of them even needed to support each other to stand firm and not fall down due to dizziness.

Down.

As the Belmont family gradually recovered from their discomfort, Leo and Sylvia, who had returned to normal first, observed the situation around them.

The place they are now in is deep in a valley. The valley is surrounded by towering peaks. The entire mountain is covered with white snow. It does not begin to decrease until the foot of the peaks on the inside of the valley, and eventually melts into a stream and converges into a small river.

It flows through the valley, passes through the mountain stream formed by the cracks in the mountain, and disappears underground.

Although judging from the trees and vegetation in the valley, it seems that the location of this valley is still in the northern mountain range of Kingdom Theresa, because most of the plants here are unique to Kingdom Theresa, but Leo still learned from the surrounding ones.

The rare plants growing on the snowy mountains indicate that this valley should be in the northern snowfields of the source continent. For example, on the cliffs of the snowy mountains grows a type of edelweiss that only grows in snowfields.

In addition, the direction of the teleportation pulling force he felt before and the time of teleportation were enough for Leo to calculate that his location at this moment should be deep in the snowfield about 7,000 kilometers directly north of the Kingdom of Teresa.

The valley they were in should be the crater of a dormant volcano, because he could feel the lava energy below, and it was this lava energy that made the valley feel like spring all year round.

"What a great place!" At this time, Sylvia took a deep breath. She could smell the faint smell of sulfur in the air and feel the energy radiation of the surrounding volcanic lava. A satisfied look appeared on her face.

look.

There is no doubt that for the Abyss Dragons, the volcanic crater is definitely the most suitable living environment for them. The Belmont family obviously had similar considerations in choosing this place to build the direct family castle. After living in such an environment for a long time, they

The blood in their bodies is easier to activate, and their strength can be increased faster.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages to doing this. The advantage is that it can quickly stimulate and improve the bloodline. The disadvantage is that this method of stimulating the bloodline through external means will greatly consume the potential of the bloodline improvement. Because of this

, which makes the Belmont family even though the bloodline of successive clan leaders has been highly developed and activated over the years, the purity of the bloodline is still far behind the real Abyss Demonic Dragon bloodline.

But even so, it must be said that it was indeed an extremely wise move for the ancestors of the Belmont family to choose this place as their family residence.

Not to mention the additive effect of the environment here on the family bloodline, it allows direct family members to stimulate the bloodline, preventing the family bloodline from declining like the Belmont family in the world of Velen, and allowing the family bloodline to continue to grow.

The security of the location of Belmont Castle alone has many benefits. You must know that even Leo would never have imagined that the Belmont Family Castle is not in the Kingdom of Theresa, but deep in the snowfields thousands of kilometers away from the Kingdom of Theresa.

, no wonder the church has been searching for the location of Belmont Castle in the Kingdom of Teresa for so many years but found nothing. They obviously looked in the wrong place from the beginning.

It is precisely because the True God Church cannot find the Belmont family castle and cannot completely annihilate the Belmont family, a heretical group that stands on the outside, through a single siege, that the True God Church allows a special kingdom like the Teresa Kingdom.

Only if they continue to exist can they make various compromises with the Belmont family on coexistence. Otherwise, with the tyrannical behavior of the True God Church in the Origin Continent, the Belmont family may have been killed by them long ago, or even reduced to ashes.

By this time, Earl Belmont and others had returned to normal. He immediately ordered his men to pack up the transmission device, and then he led Leo and Sylvia along a stone road not far away towards the depths of the valley.

After passing through a forest, the scene in front of us turned into a very common village farmland, and other members of the Belmont family could gradually be seen on the road.

If some people have obvious abnormal characteristics, they look no different from ordinary farmers. When these people saw Count Belmont, they all saluted the Count and others very respectfully. It was obvious that their identity here was

The status is much stricter than outside.

Perhaps it was Earl Belmont's signal, or perhaps it was her own idea, Miranda walked up to Leo and Sylvia and introduced the situation of these tribesmen in Belmont Castle.

Different from the division of direct line and collateral line in other families, the direct line and collateral line of the Belmont family are not divided according to the identity of the father, but according to the purity of the bloodline.

For example, the grandfather of the current Duke of Belmont was just a side branch of the family at first. Later, because of his bloodline, he surpassed everyone in the family and was elected as the patriarch by the family. His descendants became the direct descendants of the family.

.

The Earl of Belmont was able to become an Earl not only because he had a duke's father, but also because his bloodline development was second only to the duke among the family members. If there are no accidents, he is definitely the next patriarch and duke.

Something happened.

As for his son, it was because of his blood that he could no longer stay in the valley, so he was sent out to become the lord of Moor City. Moreover, this lord of Moor City could only serve for one term. After he died, the city lord would no longer be

It was his son who inherited it.

Most of the family members currently living in the Castle Valley are from side branches and direct descendants after their bloodline has been stimulated to a certain extent. In order to further develop their bloodline, they choose to settle in the valley from outside.

Some of them have further developed their bloodlines and gained more powerful and controllable power, such as Miranda, but more often their bloodlines have been further improved by being stimulated by the surrounding environment. At the same time, they have also lost

They have gained complete control over their power, resulting in very obvious and uncontrollable mutations in their bodies, just like the Belmont family members who Leo and the others encountered on the road now have obviously mutated organs.

The Belmont family has never discriminated against members with obvious mutations, and even highly respected these people, because this means that their bloodline has been pure to a certain extent. Only in this way can atavism occur, so the Belmont family will

Marriage partners are carefully selected for these family members so that the pure blood of these people can be passed on.

However, these family members know very well how much discrimination they will encounter if they leave the valley to live in the outside world, so most of them will choose to live in the valley, even if they go out, they will wear special armor made for them by the family, etc.

Equipment to cover the mutated parts of the body.

As for the external branches of the Belmont family, if they also have obvious mutations due to their bloodline, they can also apply to the family to live in the valley.

Although Leo didn't know if the people who originally designated these family laws for the Belmont family had thought about the current situation, he had to say that these practices were the main reason why the Belmont family was able to gain a foothold and grow in a place like the Origin Continent.

.

According to Miranda, there are seven or eight villages and towns in the whole valley that are specially used to house family members like the ones they see now, and there are at least eight or nine hundred people living in each village and town, and each one has

The power generated by the demonic dragon blood in the obviously mutated family members is comparable to that of third-level or even fourth-level psykers. The Church of the True God placed outside can be said to be comparable to the Paladins.

If you don’t count the power at the top, or the gods who are the backers, in terms of the number of powerful Paladins, only the Paladins of all the True God Church in the Old Continent can be gathered together to surpass Belmont in the valley.

As for the number of family members, you must know that even in the Church of Justice, which has the largest number of paladins, there are only about a hundred paladins publicly blessed by the true god. The other so-called paladins are more of those who have mastered the combat skills of the paladins.

They are just senior clergy, and the power of those people cannot be compared with the power of the dragon blood in these members of the Belmont family.

At present, the only flaw of the Belmont family is the lack of high-level power. Even the Duke of Belmont, whose bloodline has been developed to a very high degree, is still far behind the demigods in terms of bloodline power. Basically, most of the popes in the Church of the True God can.

Through certain consciousnesses, they obtain the divine blessings of the gods they believe in and gain the power of demigods.

Once the power reaches the realm of gods, even if it is just a demigod with a little bit of the afterglow of the gods, the numerical advantage will be gone.

Just like now, even if Sylvia does not use the innate suppression of her blood, she can simply use the power of her demigod blood to level the entire Belmont family castle valley. No matter how many people there are, it cannot make up for the strength.

the gap on.

Obviously, the patriarchs of the Belmont family in the past should also be aware of the shortcomings in their own strength. They did not get carried away by the number of family members and rashly expand without restraint. Instead, they chose to hide the location of the castle and not leak the actual situation in the castle.

A trace of them, honestly taking advantage of the True God Church's lack of understanding of them, and living a prosperous life. At least until the emergence of high-end power, they will continue to do so.
