"They agreed?" Looking at Sylvia who had just come down from the management area, Sylvia took the initiative to ask for Leo.

"Yes, they agreed." Alice nodded and said, "But their requirement is that their technicians must be around. In addition, the knowledge you mentioned before, such as the activation methods of the array defense towers,

, we must teach them how to activate the thing above the entrance to the abyss, etc."

Leo had no objection to this and was about to agree, but was stopped by Sylvia and said: "This is too unfair to us. Leo wants to get in touch with that core intelligence mainly to let Lanxi City

The mecha sergeants have been restored and their combat effectiveness has been improved. In other words, Lanxi City is the

Those with vested interests, these demands put forward by Lanxi City are also for the benefit of Lanxi City, not to mention that we have to help you find people possessed by higher abyssal races. All the benefits go to Lanxi City. What about us?

?We seem to have gotten nothing, working for Lanxi City in vain."

Alice was silent for a moment and said, "So what do you want?"

Sylvia looked at Leo, as if asking for his opinion, then thought for a moment and said: "I believe that since Lanxi City has lived in the Black Forest for so long, its relationship with the surrounding divine realms has changed.

Being so close, I must have accumulated a lot of good things on hand."

Alice quickly responded: "This is impossible, it is impossible for Lanxi City to pay any more benefits."

Sylvia frowned and said, "Are you so sure? You don't need to consult the opinions of those above?"

"No need, I know the thoughts of their guys very well!" Alice said with certainty: "Contacting the city's smart core has already touched their bottom line. They think that letting you get in touch with the smart core is the biggest reward, and then they propose other

It is impossible for them to agree to the conditions, and even if they agree, it will take a long time to discuss. I don’t think you are willing to wait for such a long time for an uncertain response.”

"It doesn't matter, we can wait." When Sylvia was about to say something, Leo raised his hand to stop her, and then said calmly.

After hearing Leo's words, Alice couldn't help but frown, with a look of embarrassment on her face.

Alice didn't take Sylvia's additional conditions seriously, because she knew very well that the person who wanted to get in touch with the city's intelligent core was not Sylvia, but Leo, who used the lost city defenses.

The method also came from Leo, so as long as Leo didn't speak, she and Sylvia could talk about anything.

If Leo had spoken at that time, there would obviously be no room for turning around, and she would have to consider accepting the conditions proposed.

"Although it is impossible for Lanxi City to accept any more conditions, I can pay you on behalf of Lanxi City." Alice thought for a moment and said.

Leo asked with interest: "What kind of reward do you plan to pay?"

Alice replied: "The reward I paid is very simple, just one message."

Although Alice said it very simply, Leo and Sylvia did not underestimate the news from Alice, because since Alice said it so definitely, then the news must not be simple.

"This news is where my power comes from." Alice continued after seeing the interested expressions of Leo and Sylvia.

Sylvia looked puzzled and said, "Don't your powers come from the victims?"

However, Leo on the side showed a look of understanding, because he knew that the source of power Alice mentioned was not her current source of power, but her previous source of power, which was the soul she had mastered in the past.

The origin of energy.

Alice can be said to be the first person Leo has seen after coming to the world of Velen, who has mastered such pure psychic power, and the second one is Siweni Belmont, but the psychic power in Siweni has already been produced

The mutation is no longer so pure.

Before, Leo had thought about asking Alice about the origin of her psychic powers, but due to various reasons, he did not ask formally. He only asked in passing, and Alice's answer was difficult to tell whether it was true or false, so this matter was left to him.

After putting it aside, now that Alice has taken the initiative to mention it, he is naturally happy to see it happen.

As for the so-called reward, Leo himself didn't care too much, because just as the upper-level people in Lanxi City thought, the moment he came into contact with the core of Tao intelligence, he had already received the most generous reward.

Leo gestured to Sylvia, and then asked: "Are you going to say it now, or wait..."

"Speak now! There is no need to wait until you come back from above." Alice interrupted Leo, then showed a little nostalgia on her face and said: "My power comes from a mysterious place in the Moissan continent.

Inside the ruins, there is a stone in the ruins that tells me how to inspire that power, enhance that power, and use that power."

Hearing Alice's words, Leo couldn't help but frown, because what Alice said was too vague.

Perhaps seeing the change in the expression on Leo's face, Alice continued to add the story, which was what happened when she was still young.

At that time, the entire world of Velen was immersed in a craze for colonial exploration. Various rumors about the colony of Moissan Continent spread throughout the countries in the world of Velen, the most famous of which was the legend of the Golden City.

Although these legends are accompanied by a lot of dangers, when everyone hears these legends, their attention is focused on the huge gains of the explorers at the end of the legend.

For a time, people at the bottom of various countries who were looking forward to getting rich overnight took ships to the Moissanite continent. They either took advantage of the trend of colonial land enclosures to build their own plantations, or entered areas where no one had ever lived before.

In the developed wilderness, look for the legendary ancient ruins and the golden city.

Alice at that time, just like Sylvia now, loved adventure very much, so after she completed her coming-of-age ceremony, she left Belmont Manor and went to Moissan Continent for adventure.

After several years of wandering in the Mosang Continent, she has become a somewhat famous explorer. She has also discovered some ancient ruins, but most of these ruins are the remains of the known Mosang tribe civilization and cannot be considered a pioneer.

The great discovery of sex made her always regretful.

Later, under the auspices of a very wealthy and powerful local plantation owner, some well-known explorers and scholars in the Moissanite continent at the time formed a joint expedition team, intending to go deeper into the wilderness and search for older tribal relics.

.

The plantation owner did this not on a whim, but with a practical purpose. He did not know where he found a map made of animal skins, and drew a huge in the center of the map.

The city, and there is a word written next to the city in the original script of a very ancient local tribe. This word is similar to the meaning of origin, so scholars at the time believed that the ancient city marked on this map was the origin of the tribe in the Moissan continent.

This incident caused quite a stir in the colonies of various countries at that time. So when the expedition team set off, some colonial dignitaries formed an independent expedition team to follow behind, intending to get a share of the incident.

Because it was necessary to go deep into the wilderness, even though each expedition team was fully prepared, they still suffered heavy casualties. When they finally reached the ancient ruins drawn on the map, Alice's expedition team already had three members.

One-third of the people stayed in the wilderness jungle forever, while only one of the other colonial expedition teams followed, and the number of that team was reduced to single digits, and they had to join Alice and the others.

In the expedition team.

The scholars who survived the expedition carefully studied the various information on the ruins. Just like other tribal ruins in the wilderness, these ruins were also engraved with a large number of various stories spread by the tribe. By interpreting these

The story expedition team learned that the ancestors of this tribe came from the stars. In order to escape from something, they took a huge ship and fell into the wilderness. They then settled here and built their city on top of the ship they took.

Based on the stories engraved on the walls, the expedition team determined that there was another ruin underneath the ruined city. That ruin was likely to contain the treasures left over from before the entire ruined city was destroyed. As for the so-called ship that came from the stars, etc.

According to the interpretation of the content, scholars from the expedition team believe that it is a story made up by the local tribe to highlight their identity.

Driven by huge profits, the expedition team began to explore the entire ruined city. Although it was the ruins of a primitive tribe, the ruins still covered a large area. It took the entire expedition team a month to explore the ruins.

And it took another half a month to find the entrance to the lower ruins.

The expedition team formed two teams to explore the underground ruins. Alice was placed in the first team because of her rich exploration experience.

After their team went down, they quickly encountered some defensive mechanisms. Alice got separated from someone due to an accident and entered a passage alone. Then she walked to the end of the passage and entered a room.

Then he suddenly encountered an unknown attack and passed out.

When Alice woke up again, she was deep in an empty room without any entrance or exit. There was only a spherical black boulder in the center of the room. What was interesting was that this boulder was suspended in the air, with the bottom and the floor

There is only a very small gap.

After that, the black boulder directly told Sylvia how to activate psychic power, and helped Sylvia activate psychic power. It also trained Sylvia to use that power, and it was amazing that in that environment

, she felt neither hunger nor time at all. Until she fully mastered that power, she passed out inexplicably. When she woke up again, she had returned to the ground, and the ruins had collapsed.

As if experiencing a huge earthquake, the rest of the expedition team also disappeared.

"Where is the ruins?" After listening to Alice's description, Leo couldn't wait to ask.

Alice replied: "I can't tell the exact place, but I can draw a map to get there."

After saying that, she found paper and pen in the room and began to draw a map on it. Judging from her smooth drawing process, she obviously had a very deep impression of that experience, so that after all these years

, the memories are very clear.

Soon two maps were drawn in her hand. One of the two maps was an original animal skin map, and the other was a map drawn by the popular mapping method in the Velen world. In terms of accuracy,

It is definitely more accurate than the animal skin map, and can be compared with the current map of the Velen world, and the error is very small.

After taking the map, Leo's eyes fell directly on the accurate map, and Sylvia also curiously came up to take a look. After seeing the location marked on the accurate map, Hill

There was a look of surprise on Via's face, and she couldn't help but say: "That place is not..."

"Yes." Leo took Sylvia's words, nodded, and said, "It's the ruins that Rembrandt is currently excavating."

"Now that my reward has been paid, after arrangements have been made over there, I will come to pick you up to manage the city." Alice did not have any idea of ​​continuing to talk to Leo and the others, and reminded Leo before turning and leaving.

room.

After Alice left, Sylvia said with some regret: "We can actually ask for more things."

"It's not necessary," Leo shook his head and said, "I know you want the treasures of Black Forest specialties that Lanxi City has accumulated over the years, but those things may not be usable outside the Black Forest. There is no need.

There are so many complications over this thing.”

"You're right. I'm a little greedy. It seems to have been influenced by my bloodline. The Abyss Demon Dragon's greed for treasures is one of the best among the Abyss Demons." Sylvia shrugged, laughed at herself, and then asked curiously.

Said: "When you mentioned that black ball just now, I saw on your expression that you seemed to know what it was. Can you tell me?"

"It's nothing inconvenient." Leo smiled and said, "I'm not sure yet, but judging from Alice's description, that thing should be a mastermind."

"Mastermind?" Sylvia couldn't help laughing after hearing the term Leo said in Earth Federation language: "It sounds like the name of a special dish in the United States and Canada."

Leo did not explain further because he did not know how to explain the master brain in the language of the Velen world, because even the Earth Federation language cannot explain the master brain. Only the universal language used by advanced civilizations can.
