After some wrangling and bargaining, Leylin and Sass finally reached an agreement.
The Oakheart family will bear all the resources to build Leylin's morning star-level wizard tower and a star gate, and in return, Leylin promises that he will never leak anything about the star worms in any form. .
For this reason, the two of them even made the oath of Judgment Eye, which was of course requested by King Lanshan, but they didn't notice the mocking look in Leylin's eyes.
Finally, as a bonus, Leylin also asked Sass to narrate in detail the whole process of the siege of Ouroboros Ring by the coalition forces.
After he got the news, his brows were obviously frowned.
"Jupiter's Thunder..." After sending Sass away, Leylin half leaned on the sofa, rubbed his forehead, and fell into deep thought.
"I didn't expect it to be them, the aloof wizard Huiyue, why would he be interested in the Ring of Ouroboros?"
Obviously, no one would come to answer this question now that Gilbert was missing, and Leylin could only think wildly by himself.
…
After the celebration of being promoted to the Duke ended, many envoys hadn't left yet, and another important moment came.
The engagement ceremony between the Morning Star Warlock, Grand Duke Leylin, and the head of the Blood Snake Clan, Furui!
For bloodline warlocks, they often choose their spouse very carefully, which is related to the inheritance of bloodlines, and even the rise and fall of a family.
And the engagement of a morning star-level warlock means that the new Kemoyin bloodline will spread and form another powerful family!
Although this family currently only has Leylin and his fiancée, no one would deny the power of having a Morning Star Warlock family.
Not to mention, according to some vague rumors, the blood of this Duke Leylin is extremely pure, even surpassing the three previous Morning Star warlocks! And his fiancée is also a famous family in the Komoyin family, with pure blood.
Many envoys and warlocks seem to be able to see a super powerful Komoin family rising rapidly in the ring of ouroboros in the future.
Although they secretly slandered in their hearts, on the surface these messengers showed great kindness towards Leylin's engagement and sent sincere blessings.
After the engagement ceremony was over, the envoys of many forces left the Phosphorous Fire Swamp one after another. During this celebration and ceremony, they saw too many things, and they needed to go back and tell the master behind the scenes.
As for Leylin, he was finally able to relax a bit and deal with some other chores.
"My lord duke!"
Walking on the road, many warlocks had to get out of the way when they saw them from a distance, bowing and saluting at the side of the road.
Leylin kept a solemn face, at most nodding to some senior warlocks, revealing infinite majesty from his actions.
With his current identity in the Ouroboros Ring, he naturally arrived in front of the hive-like building connected by many huge laboratories.
This is the headquarters of the technical department. Seeing Leylin coming, there was a commotion at the entrance, and then the bespectacled Saudi greeted him surrounded by many warlocks in white coats. It made Leylin feel as if he had returned to the research in his previous life. in the middle.
"My lord duke!" Saudi first saluted respectfully. To Leylin, he was still very grateful. After all, if the other party hadn't turned out, the entire Ouroboros Ring would have been destroyed.
"En! Take me to the Star Gate!" Leylin nodded, said calmly, and then followed Saudi all the way deep.
After passing through many isolation measures and testing the witch array, Saudi brought Leylin to a gate purely made of astral stones.
The entire gate exudes a brilliance like stars, but the innermost part is a stone skin, with many bright runes hanging on the surface of the stone gate.
"This is the astral gate used by Emma, we moved it here..."
Saudi took his eyes off, with an indescribable sigh in his tone.
"According to the many experiments of our colleagues, it is already certain that there is no problem with the Star Gate, but when the coordinates are positioned, they are disturbed by unknown forces, which makes the secondary positioning more difficult!"
"What kind of level do you think is needed to do this kind of thing?" Leylin asked back with piercing eyes.
"I'm afraid..." Saudi is a pure researcher with a temperament, he has something to say, and he doesn't know how to turn: "Only the interference of wizards at the Huiyue level can make the three elders misjudgment!"
Huiyue class! The great wizard of the fifth level! As soon as Saudi's words came out, many researchers who followed him could be seen shaking, and their bodies obviously felt a little unsteady.
The last time it was only a morning star from the other side, and the cooperation with the coalition forces almost destroyed the Ring of Ouroboros. What if Wizard Huiyue did it himself this time
The dim scene in the future immediately made these senior warlocks tremble with fear.
"You don't have to be so pessimistic!" Leylin patted Saudi on the shoulder, "First try to rescue the teacher and the others, and then you have to work hard..."
"Obey! Your Excellency the Duke!" A flash of shame flashed across Saudi's face, and he bowed his head respectfully.
Originally, he said that he could find the world coordinates in five days, but now several times have passed, and he still hasn't determined which world Gilbert and the others are trapped in.
Whenever he was about to find the coordinates, he would be blocked by the violent spatial turbulence in the void, but he couldn't determine the exact location.
And once there is a difference in this kind of coordinate information, the final transmission location may be different by thousands of miles, or even become two worlds!
Now that there were internal and external troubles, it was impossible for the warlocks to let Leylin take risks.
Not to mention, it was not certain that Leylin would listen to what they said.
In fact, even if it is now possible to determine the lost worlds of Gilbert and the others, Leylin will definitely not go to the rescue.
Now that it has been confirmed that the opposite world is a trap, even set up by a wizard of Huiyue, is it possible to fall into it like this
Anyway, Leylin didn't have the spirit of selflessness to take risks.
"Those warlocks should find a chance to clean up!" Leylin rubbed his chin, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
Those who have been secretly urging him to rescue the elders are naturally none other than the direct lineage of the three Morning Star warlocks, most of them are students and clan members. Of course, these people dare not ask Leylin to do anything explicitly, but Secretly spreading public opinion or something, as long as you don't get caught as evidence, you will naturally have the guts to do it.
Among them, Gilbert's family has the least complaints since Leylin is also theirs, and Emma's family has Fu Rui as an intermediary, so they are not very eager. In a hurry, Leylin was also going to take them first.
He is not a saint, so naturally he will not work hard to save others, and then give up his power.
However, Gilbert was also his teacher after all, and had taught him a lot back then, so he had to be rescued, but not now!
Leylin was confident that after a while, he would be able to completely establish his authority and spread his influence. When the three Morning Stars returned, they would not be able to shake his position!
Therefore, he had to buy this time for himself. Although he could suppress everything by force, Leylin didn't want to get a broken Ouroboros Ring in the end.
But Saudi's report was exactly what he wanted. It's not that he didn't try to rescue him, but that the conditions were insufficient and there was really no way.
In fact, in secret, Leylin had already determined the coordinates secretly, but kept it secret all the time, and it was also for this reason.
After comforting Saudi Arabia and other members of the technical department, Leylin returned to his own castle, where there were two more distinguished guests who needed his reception.
"Your Excellency Paul! Your Excellency Philip! It's been a long time!"
Leylin slightly apologized to the two Morning Star Warlocks. After the other forces left, these two envoys stayed on for unknown reasons. Since they are also two Morning Stars, it is not right for them to sit here. The snake ring is good, so Leylin not only can't complain, but also has to entertain each other warmly.
"We've just arrived, Duke Leylin must have investigated it clearly by now, right?"
Paul smiled, and the eyeballs on the octopus' head stared directly at Leylin as if they could see through the soul.
"Yes! Jupiter's Thunder! They bullied people too much!" Leylin clenched his fists hard, his face flushed, expressing his anger.
Through the investigation of the Dark Snake Department and the confession of the King of the Blue Mountain, he can already confirm that what happened this time was caused by Jupiter's Thunder.
In this case, of course he couldn't refuse the kindness of these two morning star warlocks.
"To tell you the truth, that Huiyue wizard like Jupiter has always looked down on our blood warlocks, and has had many disputes with our alliance. Even the organizations behind us are now at odds with each other. The state of the Cold War…”
Philip the werewolf smiled wryly.
Leylin somewhat understood what they meant. It turned out that the wizards from the psionic circle and the wind wolf's lair came here with the intention of looking for foreign aid.
But of course he won't refuse. Wizard Huiyue is still an existence that he can't deal with at present. If he can pull the other party to fight together, then the pressure must be reduced a little.
Therefore, Leylin said without even thinking on the surface: "If there is anything you need from me, please feel free to ask..."
That being said, Leylin would not be so stupid if he was asked to rush to the front without giving any benefits.
Paul and Philip looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes. Anyway, Leylin's statement made their trip worthwhile.
