The news brought by Witsmir was so unexpected that even if the authenticity of the news was confirmed from Witsmir, Leo still had doubts about it in his heart.

That day, when he heard the sound of the death knell, among the members of the Alcott family that emerged in Leo's mind, there was no figure of Peter Alcott from beginning to end. In his opinion, even the entire seventh

All the Alcott family in Lake Town are dead, and Peter Alcott will definitely survive.

But now Peter Alcott is dead, and according to Witsmir, he died of illness. This makes Leo simply unable to believe it. After all, he saw Peter Alcott a few days ago.

At that time, the other party's body was still very healthy, and based on his understanding of psykers, no matter how powerful the virus was, it was impossible for a psyker to die in just a few days.

"It seems like you really don't know anything." Witsmir was also surprised by Leo's reaction, and boldly guessed: "The Alcott family should have blocked the news. They don't want you to

Went to Peter Alcott's wake."

"The wake? Why am I qualified to attend Peter Alcott's wake?" Leo looked at Witsmir with a strange expression, but soon a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said: "Is it possible that Peter

·My name is in Alcott’s will?”

Just as Leo's words fell, Witsmir nodded vigorously and said, "Not only is your name, but I heard that it is one of the top names."

After Leo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. The shock and doubt he had before hearing the news of Peter Alcott's death all faded away.

Although it was just speculation and there was no evidence, judging from the fact that his name appeared in Peter Alcott's will, Leo felt that Peter Alcott was not dead.

"Peter Alcott is dead, do you still want to abide by the agreement you made with him?" Witsmir asked again at this time.

"Of course I will comply," Leo said calmly.

Hearing Leo's answer, Witsmir showed a slight smile. Obviously Leo's attitude towards the cooperation commitment made him feel a little more relieved about the cooperation that the two had agreed upon before. After all, no one would like to be with someone at any time.

Will cooperate with anyone who breaks their promise.

Witsmir then said in a deep voice: "However, if you want to keep your promise, you really can't miss this wake."

"Why do you say that?" Leo asked.

"Peter Alcott's puppet is also one of his relics, and not only the seventh Alcott family, but also the Alcott families in other lake towns and some wizards who study puppetry.

I am very concerned about this doll." Wezmeier explained and speculated, saying: "If my guess is correct, Peter Alcott must have given you the doll in his will. Otherwise,

It's just ordinary money and the like. The Alcott family would not be so impolite or stingy. You must know that no matter what the result is, it will cause a lot of damage to their reputation."

Leo thought for a moment and asked, "When will the wake start?"

"Today." Witsmir responded, and then added a precise number: "Five ticks later."

Leo asked again: "Is there any way you can let me attend the wake?"

"Although it is somewhat difficult, it is not impossible." Wizmir quickly gave the answer and said: "His Excellency Charles Longco has come to Lake Town. He can serve as my master's envoy to participate in the Seventh Orco

The special family’s wake.”

"It seems that you came well prepared!" Seeing that Witsmir answered so quickly, how could Leo not see that Witsmir had prepared his words in advance.

Witsmir did not deny it, and said with a smile: "Hey! I'm just a little person who runs errands for others."

"Although we are considered collaborators, I believe that the expeditioner would not be so kind as to help a collaborator and offend the seventh Olcott family." Leo soon learned about Witsmir's visit and revealed

Who was the instigator behind the details of the wake, so he said straightforwardly: "Tell me! What does the expeditioner want?"

Witsmir replied: "It's very simple. While helping my master obtain the book Night God's Lament from the Big Library, I also helped the expeditioner obtain another book from the library."

Leo frowned and said, "You should know that after we enter the abandoned city, we will not necessarily appear near the big library."

Witsmir shook his head, pretending to be mysterious, and said: "No! If you enter with His Excellency Charles Longco, you will definitely appear near the big library."

When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but curiously guessed: "Your Excellency, the expeditioner, has a treasure that can locate the large library?"

However, this time Witsmir did not answer, he just smiled.

Leo did not continue to ask, but changed the question and said: "Since you can't tell me this question, what kind of book does the expeditioner want to get from the big library? You should be able to answer this question, right?"

"Of course this can be answered. It is the crystallized old man's magic book."

Upon hearing this answer, Leo was stunned, and the look on his face became serious.

Now Leo no longer knew nothing about the Abandoned City. Through the incomplete information provided by Wizmir before, he already had a preliminary understanding of the situation in the Abandoned City.

The Wizards Association believes that the Abandoned City is the final destination of anything in the multiverse after its destruction. The remains of any thing in the multiverse that are destroyed will fall into the Abandoned City. These things may be a country, a person, or even

Maybe it's a ball of cosmic energy.

What is interesting is that this concept of multiverse is not original to the chief wizards of the Wizards Association. This concept comes from a note taken from the big library by people who entered the waste city before. The author of this note is from a famous man.

An arcanist in the realm of Netheril.

People in the Wizards Association have never been very clear about what arcana is, because the arcanist was already crazy when he wrote this note. The content of the note was confusing and mixed with more than ten different languages.

Except for a very small part of the content related to the abandoned city that has been deciphered, most of the remaining content is all jumbled text that cannot be deciphered for the time being.

It has been thousands of years since the Wizards Association discovered the Abandoned City, and they have entered the Abandoned City thousands of times, but they still know nothing about the Abandoned City. They don’t know how big the Abandoned City is, and they don’t know where the Abandoned City is.

, it is not even clear how to actively enter the Abandoned City. It was not until the Wizards Association obtained this arcanist's notebook hundreds of years ago that they really began to understand the Abandoned City and knew how to find the entrance to the Abandoned City, and the name of the Abandoned City became

The official name of that strange world.

Regarding the contents of that notebook, Wizmir's information did not mention much, except that the Wizards Association's current ability to locate locations in the abandoned capital such as the Royal City and the Great Library relies on that notebook.

Because the notebook was found in the Big Library, and there are a large number of books recording magical knowledge in the Big Library, the Wizards Association's exploration of the abandoned city was based on the Big Library for a long time.

Among the information provided by Witsmir, the information in the big library accounts for more than half, which also makes Leo pay special attention to this aspect of information.

According to records, although the Great Library looks like a tower-like library on the outside, it has infinite space inside. So far, the Wizards Association's exploration of the Great Library has stopped at the forty-third floor.

Just like other places in the abandoned capital, the large library is also full of various monsters. The power of monsters on almost every floor will increase exponentially, and there will be an extremely powerful monster guarding the entrance to each floor.

The entrance and exit of the upper level, and these monsters will be resurrected repeatedly.

The crystallized old man is the guard at the entrance to the big library on the 43rd floor, and the arcanist's notebook was also picked up on the 43rd floor, so some people speculate that the crystallized old man is the arcanist himself.

Because of this, the Wizards Association has explored the 43rd floor of the Big Library the most. Although the Wizards Association has never killed the Crystallized Old Man, it has found two magic books of the Crystallized Old Man in the hidden chamber on the 43rd floor.

, these two magic books have become one of the most important treasures of the Wizards Association, and only the chief wizard is qualified to read them.

Although, in the information, there is no mention of the process of obtaining the Crystallized Old Man's Magic Book, but after so many explorations of the large library by the Wizards Association and a large number of casualties, they still cannot obtain the third Crystallized Old Man's Magic Book.

Just looking at it is enough to know how difficult it is to obtain this magic book.

Now, the expeditioner Charles Longco actually wants to exchange Leo for helping him obtain the crystallized old man's magic by just helping Leo attend the Alcott family wake, which is a trivial matter to him.

Precious treasures, in Leo's opinion, if this person was not so whimsical to the point of naivety, then there must be follow-up content to the conditions he offered.

So, Leo deliberately said with a slightly sarcastic tone: "Mr. Witsmir, as a businessman, do you think this exchange condition is fair?"

"Of course it's not equal." Wizmir showed a little embarrassment on his face, and then said seriously: "I asked the expeditioner the same way at the time, but he said that as long as you are willing to help him obtain the crystallized old man's magic book, he is willing to open it to you.

His personal library."

Leo showed a thoughtful expression and did not answer immediately.

Undoubtedly, the conditions offered by Charles Longco are the best trading conditions for any ordinary wizard in the Wizards Association. As the main disciple of the ninth chief wizard, the expeditioner Charles Longco is definitely a powerful one.

As a wizard, many people even believe that he will definitely inherit the position of Ninth Chief in the future, so his private library must contain a variety of powerful witchcraft, which is a treasure that any wizard dreams of.

But the problem is that Leo is not a wizard, and he is not a wizard from the Wizards Association. Although the conditions offered by Charles Longco are enough, they are of no use to him, and what is even more distressing is that he even

We cannot object to such a condition, otherwise it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

So after thinking for a moment, Leo deliberately set up a small obstacle and said: "It is naturally my dream to enter the library of His Excellency the Expeditioner, but helping the Expeditioner to obtain the crystallized old man's magic book is also full of dangers.

, I don’t know if I can come back here alive, so this trading condition looks good, but it is too unreal. Rather than offering such a good trading condition, but may not be able to obtain it in the end, I would rather get it in advance.

Something real."

Witsmir was silent for a moment and asked: "Mr. Leo, what do you think is appropriate?"

Leo said in a deep voice: "No less than three notebooks of the chief wizard."

Witsmir thought for a moment, nodded and said: "This condition should be acceptable to the expeditioner."

Leo didn't expect that Witsmir would agree so readily. He was stunned, re-examined Witsmir's identity, and at the same time calmly stretched out his hand to Witsmir and said: "In this case, Yuanzheng and I

Your Excellency’s deal is concluded.”

"The deal is done." Witsmir also shook Leo's hand and continued: "I will immediately arrange for you to attend the wake, and I will pick you up personally in an hour."

"I'm not busy." Leo waved his hand casually, then called Witsmir and said, "Don't rush away yet. I have a few things to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Witzmir asked.

Leo asked directly: "The first thing is how is the Nowitzki family's bounty? As far as I know, the Nowitzki family has sent people to the root nest."

Witsmir said with some embarrassment: "I just wanted to tell you about this. The Nowitzki family went to Gennest to arrest people based on the information you gave about the murderer. As a result, they encountered some accidents and suffered heavy losses. Nowitzki family

There are family members in the Ji family who are dissatisfied with the current heir and use this as an excuse to delay the thing that should be delivered to you."

"They don't want to default on the debt, do they?" Leo's face darkened and he said.

Witsmir immediately shook his head and explained: "Of course not, they just delayed the time deliberately because they knew that you would also go to the Abandoned Capital, so..."

"So they want to wait until I come back from the abandoned capital before giving the things to me," Leo sneered: "If I can't come back, they don't need to pay attention to me as a dead person anymore, right?"

"That's what they really think." When Witsmir mentioned the little tricks of these noble families, he looked disdainful, but then he said very firmly: "But don't worry, as long as you attend this wake,

I believe that the Nowitzki family will deliver what you want to you tomorrow."

Leo looked at the smiling Witsmir and guessed that Witsmir must know something that he didn't know but was beneficial to him, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.

For Leo, as long as the thing is obtained, he doesn't care about the process, how Witsmir operates it, and how much benefit it can bring to Witsmir, so

He did not pursue further questions on this matter.
