The great adventurer Will Jackson is definitely an anomaly among the many legendary adventurers in the world of Velen. He is not famous because of what ancient books he discovered or what groundbreaking research he conducted on ancient texts. In fact, in academia and adventure circles,

Will Jackson is not famous at all. His popularity comes entirely from the children who read his adventure novels.

Yes, if there is no one in the world with the title and epitaph of the great adventurer, Will Jackson, then there is only one great adventurer, Will Jackson.

Will Jackson's Adventures is more like a mockery in the eyes of most people. According to his true identity, he is an excellent best-selling novelist. Each of his novels can become bedside reading in every family.

, however, such a novelist has always regarded himself as an adventurer, and often even uses the plots in his novels in some publications to refute the public theories of some real archaeologists, adventurers and paleographers, giving people a sense of

A crazy feeling.

Originally, people in the academic world were unwilling to pay attention to such a crazy novelist, but this crazy novelist spent money to continuously attack them in various newspapers, so that their reputation was affected, and they had to stand up and confront him.

controversy.

In fact, the public has no interest in who is right or wrong in this kind of debate. They just like to see those superior scholars being scolded by Will Jackson, and then tearing off the mask of civilization and scolding them in newspapers like shrews.

go back.

For a long time, the sales of all newspapers that published Will Jackson's quarrels with various scholars will increase significantly.

Until Will Jackson's death, his war of words with the academic world did not stop. Even before his death, he had a luxurious tomb built for himself, and then engraved the tomb with the words from his novels.

Classic scenes and storylines. Under each print there are several reliefs of figures wearing scholar's clothes but without engraved facial features to carry these prints.

Although the facial features of these relief figures are not engraved, it can be seen from their familiar body shapes and iconic clothes that these relief figures should be scholars who had a quarrel with him.

After he was buried, the tombstone he prepared for himself was also very interesting. The words "The Great Adventurer Will Jackson" were engraved in more than 400 different languages ​​​​and characters. The words "Will Jackson" were also engraved on the back of the tombstone in more than 400 languages.

Curse those scholars.

Leo first saw the books of the great adventurer Will Jackson in Rembrandt's study. At that time, his books were placed among a pile of professional linguistics, archeology and other academic works, giving people a sense of

A feeling of being out of place.

At that time, he asked Mr. Rembrandt why he included these novels in academic works. At that time, Mr. Rembrandt did not tell him the reason and just asked him to find it on his own.

At that time, Leo also read all Will Jackson's novels, but he didn't think there was anything worth learning in them, so he classified Will Jackson's novels as ones that can be discarded at any time.

in the underlying memory, so even if the information is searched, it is not searched in these underlying memories.

Now that he heard Saran's words, Leo was confused at first as to why Saran would mention this novelist, so he quickly searched for information about him in his mind and found some interesting and surprising things in the information.

He discovered that those Will Jackson novels that he thought were useless actually contained a lot of secrets, and many of the seemingly magical and absurd plots in the books were actually true.

For example, in a novel called Lost in the Sea, Will Jackson tells the story of how he got lost in a sea area during an adventure of a single-man sailboat falling into the sea of ​​stars, and saw some things in the sea.

Magical scenes, and many of the plots are very similar to what Leo encountered in the silent waters of the starship. People who have not experienced it will never be able to imagine the scene out of thin air, so Will Jackson

I must have been to that sea area, and the contents recorded in the book are also true.

In addition, Will Jackson's "Witch Mountains" undoubtedly contains the Asheli Forest and the mountain in front of you. The article also mentions ancient trees and other unique landforms and landmarks of the Asheli Forest, which are just names.

It's just different. It's obvious that Will Jackson must have been to the Asheli Forest, and even to the mountain in front of him.

Saran saw that Leo did not answer his question, but looked thoughtful, and couldn't help but be surprised: "You don't really think Will Jackson's crazy words are true, do you?"

"Why isn't it true?" Leo asked Saran.

Leo browsed through the book on the Witch Mountains at an extremely fast speed in his mind, and he found something interesting. This Will Jackson actually entered the interior of this mountain. Unfortunately, he did not go deep, because

He heard a mysterious voice, which he called the mantra of all things, and thought that as long as he listened to all the mantras, he would be able to know all the mysteries of the entire world.

When he knew this at the time, he became inexplicably frightened and frantically escaped from the passage leading to the inside of the mountain. Later, when he calmed down and planned to go back to accept the mysteries of the world, he could no longer find that passage.

Passage.

Leo suddenly asked Saran: "He should also be the witch's assistant, right? Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the Asheli Forest."

Saran said angrily: "Letting that smooth-talking liar enter the Asheli Forest was the most wrong thing the witch did back then."

After saying that, he seemed unwilling to talk more about Will Jackson.

Leo asked: "You don't believe the story written in Will Jackson's book about the existence of divine ruins in this mountain?"

"What? Do you believe it?" Saran asked.

Leo didn't answer, just looked around and asked in a deep voice: "There shouldn't be any problem if I take a walk around, right?"

Saran said solemnly: "As long as you don't climb to the top of the mountain, I won't stop you."

Leo looked at the top of the mountain that was completely wrapped in clouds and mist, and asked, "What's on the top of the mountain?"

Saran had no intention of answering this question, and had no desire to continue talking to Leo.

Leo turned to Sylvia and Seran and said, "You guys stay here for now! You can just ask Ms. Seran for advice on how to eliminate hidden dangers. I will come here to find you later if I find any clues."

"Okay." The two nodded, and Sylvia added: "Be careful, something is wrong here, I don't know what dangers may arise."

After saying that, he looked at the huge pit caused by the falling monster.

Leo nodded, turned around, and walked around the edge of the bottom of the mountain into the distance, quickly disappearing into the wind and snow.

The bottom of this mountain, which has been regarded as a landmark but still has no official name, is not very big. It is almost half the size of the Witch Cemetery. The entire mountain goes straight up, and the surface is uneven. From a distance, it looks like a gradually shrinking needlepoint.

Leo is now preparing to walk around the foot of the mountain. He is not walking aimlessly, but purposefully looking for the passage mentioned in Will Jackson's book.

Leo doesn't know whether Will Jackson is an excellent archaeologist, but Leo knows that Will Jackson is definitely an excellent novelist. Otherwise, his books would not be so popular.

Many people still buy it to this day.

Precisely because he is good at writing, in his book, the experience of how to discover the mysterious passage in the Witch Mountains is very detailed and very accurate.

In that text, he not only described the surrounding topography carefully, but also wrote down the various plants and their locations in detail. Now Leo is going to find the passage based on the records in the novel.

.

Although more than three hundred years have passed since Will Jackson wrote this text, according to common sense, it may be difficult to find the location of the passage through this text.

But the Asheli Forest is a magical place. Through Sylvia, I learned that within a certain area of ​​the landmark locations, the landforms and plants will not change unless they are affected by force majeure. Three hundred

What it was like years ago is what it is still like now.

However, now the forest here has long disappeared for reasons that Leo is not clear about. There is not only heavy snow on the ground, but also land covered with a large number of bones.

But this doesn't matter much to Leo, because the tree roots here are still relatively intact under the burial of a large number of bones. From the tree roots, you can tell which tree is in which area.

In Will Jackson's book, he mentioned that the virgin forest here seems to be deliberately planned. Different trees, shrubs and flowers are planted in each area, and they do not grow randomly among each other. It feels like

It's like a garden often tended by the gods.

In the book, he wrote down the types of trees, shrubs and other plants in each area in detail according to the route he took. However, he was not a botanist himself and did not know much about plants, so he could only write about various plants.

Appearance and other visible things.

But then again, even if Will Jackson is the best and most knowledgeable botanist in the world of Velen, he probably won’t be able to understand the types of these plants, because judging from the descriptions in the novel, most of these plants

They are not plants from the Velen world, but some alien plants.

For example, the plant Leo is looking for now is a hardwood-shaped vine. This plant looks like a complete tree at first glance, but it is actually made up of thousands of tiny vines.

Jack Wilson called it the Iron Vine Tree.

But in fact, Leo knew that this kind of tree was not called an iron vine tree, and he also knew what this kind of tree was and which planet it came from.

Dahaka is the name of this tree. This name is just the translation name of the Earth Federation. The official name of this tree is a sound that cannot be produced by human vocal organs.

It is a unique plant of Moebius Planet. Moebius Planet is a rare pure plant planet in the universe. The pure plants here are pure plants in the true sense. Except for the center of the earth and the strata close to the center of the earth, the rest of the planet is

More than 90% of the ground is composed of plants, and daha kaka is a common plant on this planet.

The Earth Federation once thought of occupying this rare plant planet suitable for human habitation. However, during the exploration process, it was discovered that this planet already has intelligent species and civilization. Although this civilization is very primitive and only equivalent to tribal civilization, this civilization

But there are three Omega-level advanced life forms, and one of them is the planet itself.

Therefore, the Earth Federation changed its plan for getting along with each other at that time. It no longer focused on conquering, but instead focused on making friends, establishing diplomatic relations, etc.

Because this alien civilization was the first planet to establish diplomatic relations with the Earth Federation, this planet was relatively complete among the alien information. This information was also one of the standard basic information that Leo needed to record.

Leo's spiritual network went deep into the ground, accurately found the tree roots buried deep in the ground, and quickly identified what trees these roots belonged to.

Although Leo needed to identify the type of tree to which the roots belonged, his speed was not slow at all, and he quickly walked half a circle around the mountain sansho.

After passing through a very ordinary forest of long-sleeved blackwood, Leo finally discovered the unique roots of Daha Kaka. In order to confirm that his spiritual network was correct, he dug a deep hole again and dug the bones covering it.

After cleaning it up, I saw that the relatively well-preserved tree roots at the bottom were dug out. I carefully checked and compared the information and determined that this was the first forest I was looking for.

After having the first coordinate reference, Leo's search for other woods became much easier. He walked around the edge of the woods for a while and found the second woods described in the novel, and then the third and third woods.

The fourth and fifth ones were found by Leo in turn.

However, what surprised Leo was that he found that judging from the position of the woods, Will Jackson was not walking up the mountainside, but outside the mountain, which puzzled him.

Although doubts arose in his heart, Leo did not stop his current actions and continued to search along the location of the woods mentioned in the book. However, he soon stopped. It was not because there was an error in the trees recorded in the novel.

, but because there is no way forward, and what blocks Leo is a wall of fog connected to the sky.

Facing the wall of fog in front of him, Leo's expression became very serious. After all, anyone who saw that there was nothing in front of him before, but the next moment such a eye-catching wall of fog suddenly appeared, would be shocked.

He was wary, not to mention that not only could he not see it, but even his mental network could not sense the existence of this fog wall. Even though his eyes could see the fog wall in front of him now, there was nothing in front of him in his mental network.
