Chapter 199: Abandoned Capital with True Death
Seeing the attitude of Charles Longco and others, Leo also felt that the problem was very serious. The Alcott family was not allowed to enter the abandoned capital. It was not as simple as he thought. It seemed that it was not a restriction imposed by the Wizards Association.
There seem to be other reasons why the Alcott family issued a ban on using the resources of the abandoned city to develop themselves.
At this time, Peter Alcott took the initiative to stand up and said: "You are wrong to blame Mr. Leo. In fact, he has no idea why the Wizards Association banned the Alcott family from entering the abandoned city."
The black-robed wizard Reise retorted: "How is this possible? Everyone in the Wizards Association knows the reason for this ban."
"But what if he is not from the Wizards Association?" Peter Alcott said calmly.
"You're talking about..." Charles Langke was about to retort, but he stopped again. He seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Leo with a strange look. He asked in a deep voice: "You are really not a wizard.
From the association?”
Although Peter Alcott revealed his identity in this way, which made Leo feel a little dissatisfied, he did not quibble in the end, but nodded and admitted, saying: "I just said that my teacher is a hermit wizard, but
But he has never admitted that I am a member of the Wizards Association."
"Who are you?" Charles Longco stared at Leo in surprise and asked, "Are you from the foggy area? Are you one of theirs?"
Leo looked at the three people from the Wizards Association in front of him calmly and said: "Who am I? This question should not be the most important question now. No matter who I am, we all need to face the same problem now. Something happened to you.
It won’t be easy for me either, so shouldn’t you focus on the right place? For example, how to get what you want smoothly and get out from here.”
Hearing what Leo said, the three members of the Wizards Association showed a wry smile in unison. They already believed that Peter Alcott's words were true. Leo did not know that after the members of the Alcott family entered the abandoned city,
What would happen? Otherwise, he would not be able to speak so easily.
"Why did you do this?" Seeing that Leo really didn't understand anything, Charles Longco also turned his attention to Peter Alcott and asked: "You know that you are very likely to do this.
You will die, but even if you don't die, you will be trapped here forever, just like those ashes."
"I just want to escape the fate of the Alcott family!" Peter Alcott sneered.
"This is the contract signed by your Alcott family ancestors and the Wizards Association, and it is the fate recognized by your Alcott family." The black-robed wizard Reese glared at Peter Alcott fiercely and said, "You
After enjoying the various benefits that the contract brings to you, do you think that just saying you don’t want to bear the responsibilities of the contract is enough?”
Peter Alcott sneered: "You also said that this contract was signed by the ancestors of the Alcott family. Why should I, a descendant, bear it? And I have indeed enjoyed the benefits of the contract. Do I
Are you just enjoying the benefits? Without my help, how could the fortress castle in the fog area be completed? Without the fortress castle to keep out the monsters in the fog area, how could the people of the Lake District Alliance live so peacefully? Isn't this
My contribution? When it comes to contribution, I have given much more than you guys who only know how to obtain resources from the Lake District Alliance and have never sent anyone to the front line. Who do you have to accuse me?"
Peter Alcott's words made the three wizards speechless to refute, because compared to other members of the Alcott family, Peter Alcott is definitely an alternative among the alternative. He is so good that even the Wizards Association has to understand.
The order prohibited him from contacting the mysteries of power such as witchcraft, but even this could not cover up the light of Peter Alcott. The contribution of the fortress castle in the Fog Area alone was enough to rival those sages who died for the safety of the Lake District.
As Peter Alcott said, his contribution indeed far exceeded the benefits he received from the contract, and no one here had the right to blame him.
"Do you think you can escape the power of the contract by possessing your puppet and sneaking into the abandoned city?" Jesse, the spiritual wizard, said: "The contract is a soul contract jointly made by the supreme chief and ten great mages. Its function is
Among all the souls of the Alcott family, no matter where you are, as long as your soul is still there, the role of the contract will definitely not disappear."
"No, there is a way to cancel the contract." Before Peter Alcott could refute, the black-robed wizard Riise revealed the other party's plan in one sentence, saying: "He wants to use the power of feathers to reshape the soul and
Body, am I right? Lord Peter!"
"I didn't know that the Eye of Truth can see through other people's true thoughts? Mr. Riese, your devotion to the Eye of Truth is really admirable." Peter Alcott did not admit it, but his slightly ironic words were undoubtedly affirmative.
The black-robed wizard's guess.
After hearing Peter Alcott's words, the black-robed wizard Reise's face became extremely gloomy, because the goal of this trip to the abandoned capital was also to crystallize the feathers of the library.
"Haha!" Charles Longco suddenly sneered twice, glared at Peter Alcott angrily, and said: "Do you think there is still a chance to go to the Crystallization Library to get feathers? Your arrival has already
The rules of the abandoned capital have been changed. Now everything here is real. The injuries on our bodies are real, and our deaths are also real. Do you think it is possible for us to leave alive if we go to the Crystallization Library in this state?
?”
"Can you tell me what changes will happen if members of the Alcott family enter the waste city?" Leo interrupted at this time and asked.
Charles Longco looked at Leo as if he were a pitiful creature and was not interested in answering this question. The other two wizards also hated Leo as the culprit for the current predicament, so they did not answer either.
interest.
Peter Alcott felt that the matter had reached this point and there was no point in hiding it, so he said truthfully: "The reason why the ancestors of the Alcott family were able to sign a contract with the Wizards Association is because the blood and soul of the Alcott family
There is a mysterious power that can transform illusion and reality. Didn't I say it before? Our world is a false illusion, and it exists solely because every member of our Alcott family will become
A sacrifice that stabilizes that illusory world."
"Hmph!" Charles Longco said disdainfully: "It's this illusionary heresy again. The reason why the Chaos Society appeared back then was because of this heresy. I didn't expect you to be a member of the Chaos Society."
Peter Alcott did not refute the expeditioners' speculation about his identity as a member of the Chaos Society. He continued to explain to Leo: "Because of the special blood and soul of our Alcott family, after we entered the ruined city,
It will cause some changes. For example, even if a person who entered the Abandoned City was injured in the Abandoned City and died in the Abandoned City, it was just a dream. When the entrance to the Abandoned City is closed, he will be in the Abandoned City again.
They were resurrected where they left, and they were completely resurrected, and they could get all the resources obtained from the ruined city. What they lost was only some spirit and mana. So because they would not die, they decided to venture in so boldly.
The Big Library is looking for the treasures they want. But the moment I entered the Abandoned City, the rules of the Abandoned City, or more accurately, the rules of the Big Library, changed. Everyone in the Big Library was either trapped in
All immortal ashes here will die when they receive fatal injuries, and the injuries sustained on their bodies will not recover."
"Langbasian and Sorohan may be dead!" At this time, the black-robed wizard Rise suddenly said: "According to the rules here, we entered the waste city at the same time, so when we are at the exit node,
They should appear at the same time, but now that they have not appeared, there is only one possibility: they are dead, and they are truly dead."
Everyone fell silent when they heard this, but compared to the panic on the brows of the three wizards, Leo and Peter Alcott looked much calmer, as if there was no such thing as life or death.
Take things seriously.
Peter Alcott had already anticipated this situation and had already prepared for life or death, so he could be so calm. However, Leo's calmness was a bit strange, and even he felt that something was wrong.
.
At first, Leo thought he was so calm because the effects of the tranquility potion had not worn off yet, but after looking at the personal data interface, he found that the effects had long since passed, and he was not in an absolutely sane state now.
After carefully searching for the reason, Leo felt that the reason why he was so calm might be related to Mongya's gaze, but this was just his last guess after failing to find other reasons, and there was no substantial evidence.
prove.
"It's useless to say anything now, let's think about how to get out of trouble!" Faced with the problem of life and death, even though Charles Longco hated Peter Alcott and Leo very much, he still suppressed the hatred in his heart and was very
He said rationally: "Things have changed. It is no longer suitable to go to the Crystal Library. We should stay here to see if we can kill the watcher and get the dream stone from it to open the exit." As he said that, he said coldly.
He said to Leo and the two with a straight face: "This matter was caused by you. We don't need to hold you responsible, but you must help us get rid of the guards here. Otherwise, we will die even if we die."
Let’s get rid of you first.”
After Charles Longco finished speaking, the black-robed wizard Rise and the spiritual wizard Jesse both stood beside him and expressed their support for his proposal through actions.
Faced with the threat, Leo did not fight, but turned to look at Peter Alcott on the side, and then nodded to himself without waiting for Peter Alcott to respond: "Okay,
I can help you get rid of the watchers first, but I will not leave, I will still go to the Crystallization Library."
Leo's decision made the four people around him stunned for a moment. For the expedition and other three wizards, it didn't matter whether Leo continued to go to the Crystal Library, as long as the other party agreed to help them get rid of the guards here.
.
But Peter Alcott looked at Leo with some doubts. He naturally did not think that Leo continued to go to the Crystallization Library to keep his promise to help him find the feathers, so he was very puzzled by Leo's decision.
He also speculated whether Leo was also determined to obtain something in the Crystallization Library.
"I also agree to assist, but I have one request," since everyone else had already made a decision, Peter Alcott naturally could not object, but he still decided to fight for the best interests for himself.
"You are still qualified to make demands..." The black-robed wizard Rise looked angry and took out a monster skull covered with runes from his sleeve, as if he was about to attack Peter Alcott.
"Wait! Your Excellency Reese." Charles Longco stopped his companion, then suppressed his anger and said to Peter Alcott: "Tell me! What do you want?"
Peter Alcott said calmly: "Don't worry, my request is very simple, that is, tell me and Mr. Leo Dodd all the information you know about the Crystallization Library."
Charles Longco frowned, noncommittal.
Peter Alcott continued: "I know you must have concealed some important information in the Crystallization Library. Those important information will make it easier for you to obtain the magic book of the Crystallization Old Man, and you don't even need to kill the Crystallization Old Man, right?
?”
Charles Longco hesitated for a moment and said: "I won't give you complete information. I will only tell you some information related to feathers."
"Your Excellency Charles Longco..." The black-robed wizard Rise was obviously very dissatisfied with Charles Longco's decision, because his goal was also feathers, and he obviously felt that Charles Longco was helping others steal his own things.
In order to alleviate the dissatisfaction of the black-robed wizard, Charles Langke made a promise: "There is not only one feather. When this matter is over, we will go to the Crystallization Library again. When the time comes, I will help you find the feather first."
, I’m going to get the crystallized old man’s magic book.” As he said that, he turned to look at Peter Alcott and said, “Do you think it’s okay?”
Although Peter Alcott wanted complete information, Charles Longco wouldn't give it to him. After all, it involved Charles Longco's own interests, so he didn't say anything more and nodded and agreed to assist in dealing with it.
The requirements of the guardian of this level of library.
Afterwards, everyone temporarily put aside their hatred and began to discuss how to set up traps and how to deal with the watchers. From the beginning to the end, Leo did not say a word, but just listened to the information he provided about this layer during the conversation between several people.
From the library guardian's information, he learned that the high-level demon he encountered before was indeed the guardian.
Unlike other high-level demons and great demons in the library who can only patrol within a certain area, this guard can roam anywhere in this layer of the library without being restricted, so choosing the ambush location is crucial.
