The reason why Leo has such doubts is because the content of this book is completely different from what he thinks. In his opinion, just by looking at the title, this book is either a horror book or an adventure book.

, but after reading it, I discovered that this book is actually the most popular pastoral love novel among women in the Kingdom of England.

The content of the book is about a traveler who got lost in the forest due to fog during a trip and accidentally came to a place called Death Valley, where he met some people, had some things happen, and also found love.

, until he began to feel that life was a little boring, and went out to travel again, only to find that he had once again fallen into the fog. After leaving the fog, he actually returned to the place where he was lost. After that, he could not find his way back to Death Valley.

Already.

The content of the entire novel is mainly based on life in Death Valley. It is full of storylines that should be expected in various pastoral novels. It is a very clichéd pastoral novel and not worth reading at all.

However, this novel is not without its merits. When Leo saw that the protagonist of the novel was lost in the fog and ended up in a place called Death Valley, he immediately thought of the fog that surrounded each world. The two seemed to be somewhat connected.

.

So even though Leo felt that the content of the book was completely different from what he thought, he still picked up the book and read it again, but this time he read it more carefully.

Perhaps because of the difference in attitude, Leo read some other content hidden between the lines for the same text and content.

In addition to the fog plot that Leo noticed from the beginning, the book also mentioned at the beginning that the protagonist encountered the fog in the forest of Josh County. But the problem is that based on Leo’s past memory, the geography of Josh County

The environment is completely swampy. There may be a small forest, but there is absolutely no such thing as a forest.

In addition, the author uses a lot of pen and ink to describe the life customs and clothing scenes of Death Valley, which makes people who see it feel like they are there. After reading it, people who are familiar with the customs, clothing and architecture of various places will find that death is a process.

Regardless of their clothing, food, shelter and other things in life, the people are not from the same country and region, but cover the clothing, architecture and food styles of all countries in the world.

It can be seen from this that the author must be a folklorist with rich knowledge. Otherwise, even if someone actually saw these scenes with their own eyes, I am afraid they would not be able to describe them in such detail.

Therefore, when such a scholar writes this book, he will never make a stupid mistake in geographical environment. Leo feels that the reason why the author wrote this is either to hide the real address, or because Josh County is indeed

There is a forest, but most people can't see it.

Compared to the first guess, Leo is more inclined to the second guess, because judging from the author's rigorous attitude in describing the environment of Death Valley, even if the author wants to hide the real address, he should choose an environment that is similar to the real address.

The place is written in the book without leaving such a big hole.

In addition, there is a storyline in the middle of the book that is very noteworthy. In that plot, the protagonist proposes to the woman he falls in love with, and the woman he falls in love with mentions the origins of the residents of Death Valley and some of the customs and rules of marriage proposal.

In this content, the origin of Death Valley is very interesting. The earliest visitors to Death Valley came from a continent ruled by knights. They were a knight family. Because they were defeated by hostile knights, the family was in danger of being massacred.

, so they could only choose to venture into the fog on the edge of the continent in order to get a glimmer of hope.

In the fog, they were attacked by some unknown monsters. After sacrificing some of their people, they were lucky enough to pass through the fog, come to the world of Velen, and settle down in the world of Velen.

But later some wars also occurred in the world of Velen. They were displaced again and wandered around the world of Velen. Finally, they settled in the relatively stable Kingdom of England and established Death Valley. The reason why it is called Death Valley is because of their ancestors.

It was once known to the world as the Death Knight on that continent.

If it were just a story about traveling through the fog, it wouldn't interest Leo. What really attracted his attention was that when he mentioned that the ancestors of Death Valley escaped from the Knight Continent, he got some information from Catalina.

With the help of the knight, he escaped from the enemy's pursuit again and again.

When Leo saw the name Catalina, he naturally thought of Seredor of Catalina whom he met outside the royal city where everything ends. According to the description of the Knights of Catalina in the book,

Judging from the armor description, it is obvious that the two are from the same country.

If Death Valley really exists, then the ancestors of Death Valley should come from the world where Seledor is, but what really worries Leo is that these outsiders seem to have brought the fog to Velen when they came to Velen.

world.

In the book, some people in Death Valley recorded in a few words that the misty forest outside Death Valley was created by their ancestors to protect the tranquility of Death Valley. If this record is true, then it represents death.

When Gu's ancestors passed through the fog, they mastered the method of creating fog, or in other words, they became the dependents of the fog.

After Leo read the novel for the second time, he closed the book, pondered quietly for a moment, got up and walked outside the door, towards the bottom of the stairs, and shouted: "Sanges, please send someone to the bookstore to collect all the books."

I bought all the books related to Josh County, especially books on folklore and legends."

Butler Sanjes downstairs responded calmly, and without asking any questions, he followed Leo's instructions to collect all Josh County's books.

It has to be said that Butler Sanges' ability is really outstanding. In less than three hours, he sent all the books on Josh County that he could collect to Leo's study. There were hundreds of books in total, large and small.

This book, more than half of which are folklore books.

Leo spent the next two days reading these books and found a lot of clues related to Death Valley.

These books record many legends about the mysterious forest and mysterious valley in Josh County. This has become one of the most famous folklore in Josh County. However, there is no fog in the legendary forest and the valley is not called

Death Valley.

In these legends, without exception, it is mentioned that there is a mysterious forest in the swamp of Josh County. This forest cannot be seen normally. It only appears in the swamp during the full moon, and the location where it appears

Not fixed.

Regarding the evaluation of this mysterious forest, legends and stories are polarized. One is that the forest represents luck, because those who enter the forest can obtain some precious items from the forest when they leave the forest, some of which are very precious medicinal materials.

, some are valuable gems. But another legend believes that the forest represents bad luck, because many people who see and enter the forest never come out again. Many books compare the forest to a monster that devours life.

Compared with the polarization of the forest, all the legends describe the forest valley in the same way, that is, it is mysterious. They all describe it in almost the same way. They all write that there is a valley in the forest, but even if you can see that

Valley, but no matter what method I use, I can't get close to that valley. It feels like they are copying each other.

After reading this passage, Leo felt that the description in this passage might be true, because if he used witchcraft, he could easily do this.

Just when Leo was about to finish the book, Sean Donald came to Leo's apartment again and brought a response.

"So the royal family has agreed to my request?" In the study, after hearing Sean's words, Leo looked at the box on the table and said, "Is this the wizard's relic? This is the only thing.

?”

"Of course it's not just this," Sean smiled: "This is just the deposit we paid."

Leo was not in a hurry to open the box, but looked at Sean thoughtfully, as if he could read Sean's mind.

Sean, who was originally very calm, couldn't help but feel nervous when he faced Leo's gaze. What surprised him was that he only felt this kind of nervousness when facing His Majesty the Royal Family.

"If I'm not wrong, there should be others heading to Death Valley, right?" Leo smiled and said, "Let me guess who it is? Duke Buckingham can still use the Poseidon artifact.

Another rose family?"

Sean smiled bitterly and said, "It's really a headache to negotiate a deal with you! Just tell me! What other conditions are needed?"

"No need!" Leo shook his head, picked up the box on the table, put it in his hand, and said: "I am also very interested in this matter. Even without your deal, I will go to Josh County

Take a trip. Didn’t you deliberately leave that book behind just to make me interested in Death Valley?”

Although his thoughts were exposed in person, Sean did not show any embarrassment. He just smiled and said nothing.

Leo changed the topic and said: "However, the information you mentioned last time seems to hide something. I hope you can tell me everything you know completely this time."

Sean said doubtfully: "I didn't hide any information..."

Before Sean could finish what he said, Leo raised his hand to stop him, and then said: "You haven't told me yet, why are the royal family so sure that Earl Drake's real cemetery is in Death Valley? And why are they so sure that Derrick's real cemetery is in Death Valley?"

Earl Lake is dead?"

"This is me..." Sean showed a little hesitation on his face, as if he wanted to say something quibly.

Leo interrupted Sean again and said very seriously: "Our cooperation should be based on mutual trust, so I don't want you to lie to me, and what I'm asking about is also very critical. It's critical to whether we can successfully find

Poseidon's artifact, you have lied to me now. If I don't find anything in the end for this reason, who will bear the responsibility?"

Hearing the threatening words, Sean opened his mouth. In the end, he did not say what he had thought of before. Instead, he smiled bitterly and said, "I really regret coming to you now, Leo Dodd."

gentlemen."

Leo smiled and said: "I regret it, but the question is, can you find anyone else? Or is there anyone else who is more likely to find the Poseidon artifact than me and doesn't care about the artifact?"

Sean curled his lips and did not refute Leo's words. Then he went directly to the topic and said: "Everyone who was sent out to find the Poseidon artifact left a drop of blood in the hands of the royal family. The royal family can know this drop of blood through special divination.

The situation of the blood owner. After Earl Drake died, the royal family found that Earl Drake’s blood had not changed, so they believed that Earl Drake was still alive.”

"So the royal family has never directly sold the descendants of Earl Drake," Leo said, with a sneer on his face.

Sean did not deny Leo's guess, but was slightly embarrassed, and then quickly returned to normal, and continued: "Not long ago, the royal family discovered that there was a change in Earl Drake's blood, and they immediately called a fortune teller

Responsible for divination, and finally got the answer that Earl Drake is dead."

"Divination? Is this kind of divination credible?" Leo frowned and asked slightly questioningly.

Although Leo was interested in Death Valley, he was unwilling to face a powerful tower wizard. If Count Drake was still alive, he would not accept Sean's employment under any circumstances.

Regarding the absurd sounding thing of whether a wizard could live for hundreds of years, Leo had no doubts at all, because as a fifth-level psyker, based on his vitality and vitality alone, his lifespan could probably exceed

He is two hundred years old, and Earl Drake is a powerful wizard, and there is no doubt that he will live much longer.

Sean replied firmly: "I don't know about other divination, but the royal family's divination is very powerful, and the results of the divination are very credible."

Leo asked again: "Then the Poseidon artifact will appear in Death Valley. Could it be predicted by a fortune teller?"

Sean shook his head and said: "Of course not. All divination involving gods is impossible to be accurate and is very dangerous. The fortune teller may even go crazy during the divination. After all, mortals cannot withstand the light of gods." As he said this.

He paused and then said: "There is a set of Poseidon artifacts, and they all have some mysterious connections with each other. They can sense the positions of other Poseidon artifacts through special methods."

Leo couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Since the royal family has long known that Earl Drake is still alive, and also knows that the Poseidon artifact is in Death Valley, then why not directly find Earl Drake, and Drake..."

Sean interrupted Leo and explained: "No, you made a mistake. The royal family has never known the true whereabouts of the Poseidon artifact. It was not until the death of Earl Drake not long ago that they had any idea.
