The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After Jason left, Leo reinvested in the study of witchcraft, but today was obviously not a good time for quiet research, and the housekeeper Sanjiesi suddenly knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Leo asked Sanjes after ordering him to come in.

"There is an invitation from you." As Sanjes said, he put the tray in his hand in front of Leo, and there was a very beautifully crafted invitation in the tray.

"Invitation card? For me?" Leo was stunned for a moment, reached out to pick up the invitation card, opened it, looked at it, and asked in confusion, "Marquis Roosevelt's mansion? Do I know Marquis Roosevelt?"

Sanjays quickly replied: "The machinery factory you bought a few days ago belongs to the Roosevelt family. The Marquis Roosevelt is a court nobleman, but he has resigned now and focuses on developing the family business. Roosevelt Most of the family's property is in the Kingdom of America, but there are still a few properties in the Kingdom of England, and the person who manages the Roosevelt family's property in Port of Sete is Sir Diffie Roosevelt, the heir of the Roosevelt family."

During this period of time, Leo was very satisfied with Sanjays, not only because Sanjays was able to complete the things he ordered, such as the renovation of the apartment, and even some things that he did not expect. It can be solved perfectly, such as the recent investments and investment management.

Leo only showed a little investment intention at that time. The next day, Sanjays brought a stack of sorted materials, which recorded all the projects that could be invested in Scitech Port, and carefully used them in different colors. The pen indicates the advantages and disadvantages of each investment, helping Leo save a lot of time collecting information.

After the investment, Leo also wanted to test the ability of Sanjies, so he asked Sanjies to be in charge of the operation of these investments, and he was very satisfied with the results. Being able to spare time to help him manage those investments perfectly, at least from the current point of view, the management is very good. Several factories that are about to close down can be operated quickly and some orders can be obtained.

Although these investments can't make money for Leo, they are already on the verge of bankruptcy and can help him manufacture some useful parts.

Not only in terms of business management, Sanjies satisfied Leo, but also in other aspects, such as intelligence collection, etc., he is also very good. The record book that Jason saw was obtained by Sanjies.

As it is now, Sanjes has easily revealed the details of a great nobleman, and even knows the family's business arrangements and plans, which is no longer worthy of Leo's surprise.

"Do you think I should go?" Leo put the invitation aside and asked.

"This can only be decided by you, sir." Sanjays did not answer directly, but made a detour, and said: "The Sanjays family has already settled down after leaving the Kingdom of England. I am afraid that this banquet is just to contact Yingge. The feelings of the dignitaries in the Kingdom of Georgia, and find suitable buyers for the goods they produce in America.”

Leo immediately understood what Jess meant, and said, "In other words, this is just a business banquet?"

"Yes." Sanjes nodded, but then said: "However, I personally suggest that you should go there."

"Why?" Leo knew very well that Sanjays was not a person who liked to give advice, and his advice was often the most useful to Leo, so he was very curious about the reason for Sanjay's advice this time.

Sanjes did not answer directly, but asked, "Don't you want to collect some items from ancient times recently?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and asked, "Are there any items like this for sale at the banquet?"

"Of course not, no noble will do business at the banquet in his mansion." Sanjes shook his head, and then explained: "However, according to the information I got, Phidia, the largest collector of antiquities in the Kingdom of England, Sir will be present at this banquet, if you want to collect this kind of antiquities, get acquainted with Sir Fidia and you may be able to get more channels to trade antiquities."

"Sir Phidia?" Leo felt the name was familiar, and recalled it carefully: "Are you talking about Phidia Roland?"

Sanjes confirmed: "Yes, it is Sir Fidia Roland."

After hearing this, Leo was silent for a while, and then said, "Help me prepare a set of clothes for the banquet tonight."

"Okay, sir." Sanjays nodded, but did not leave, but hesitated for a moment, and asked again: "Sir, do you need some etiquette guidance?"

Leo froze for a moment, and quickly understood what Sanjes was worried about, so he smiled, shook his head and said: "No need, although I was born as a commoner, when I was studying at the old man Rembrandt, I also learned A little etiquette, don't worry, I won't make any embarrassing behavior at the banquet."

After hearing the words, Sangjies didn't say anything more. After saluting, he turned and retreated.

After Sanjays left, Leo returned his attention to the table, but his attention was not as focused as before, but part of the information on recalling Fidia Roland just mentioned.

Leo had heard of Fidia Roland's name before, but it was from past memories. It seemed that Fidia Roland had done some charity in Leo's hometown in the past, and Leo had also gained from it. some benefits.

However, what really reminded Leo of the name Fidia Roland was actually the mark of Old Man Rembrandt and the Weaver of Webs.

When Leo was studying with the old man Rembrandt, he saw a private letter to the old man Rembrandt in a book. The main content of this letter was a discussion on the study of ancient prehistoric civilizations. This is purely academic. The discussion on the Internet, and the signature of this letter is Phidia Roland, and it also has the lettermark and private lettermark of the Kingdom of England.

However, just being a researcher of ancient civilizations does not make Leo pay too much attention to this person. The real reason why Leo remembers this person is that there is a small badge at the end of this letter, and according to Leo's understanding , Only members of the Hearing Society have such a badge, and according to the pattern structure on the badge, it is certain that this Fidia Roland's status in the Hearing Society is comparable to that of Rembrandt, both of whom are at the level of the Great Elder.

However, at that time, Leo's mind was all on his studies, and he was not very interested in the Odd Society, so he didn't pay attention to this matter any more, and he didn't ask Rembrandt about his colleagues in the Odd Society. , but thinking about it, even if he asked, the old man Rembrandt probably wouldn't answer.

After that, he obtained the Mark of the Web Weaver, and obtained a large amount of knowledge and memory accumulated by the Web Weaver in the past countless years from the mark. This huge knowledge and memory made him have to spend a lot of time sorting out. In the past few days in Hong Kong, apart from studying witchcraft, what he has done the most is to sort out the knowledge in his mind.

While sorting out his memory, he discovered many interesting things that he hadn't noticed in the past due to the complexity of his knowledge, and among these things, the thing about Fidia Roland was definitely one of the strangest things.

This incident comes from the web weaver's memory, and it is also the most profound memory of the web weaver. In this memory, Fidia Roland once died and was taken away by the web weaver, and also saw the god of death directly Gain, but the strange thing is that Phidia Roland was revived after that, and even the Weavers don't know how Phidia Roland was resurrected. The most important point is that Phidia Roland's soul has been sent to Arrived in the Land of Eternity, where even the souls of the gods cannot return to the real world.

The situation of Fidia Roland made Leo think of himself at that time. No matter how you look at the two situations, they are very similar. The same person died and the same person was resurrected. If we infer this, then the current Fidia Ya Roland is definitely not the real Phidia Roland, but another soul like Leo.

At that time, Leo thought about finding an opportunity to meet this Fidia Roland, and now the appearance of this invitation just saved him a lot of trouble.

It's just that if you go to the banquet like this, unless you break in by force, otherwise, it may be difficult for him to meet Phidia Roland as a commoner upstart, because although the other party's status is only a knight, he is a royal. The tenured professor of the college is no worse than a duke-level nobleman. It is impossible for a person with this status to be approached casually.

Therefore, Leo felt that maybe he should make a bait, a bait that could attract Fidia Roland.

Thinking of this, Leo stopped his witchcraft research, pulled out a piece of ordinary leather paper from the cabinet next to the desk, and quickly wrote some words on the paper with a pen.

Although the meaning of these words is very simple, it is nothing more than admiration for Phidia Roland's knowledge and curiosity about Phidia Roland's collection, but the words to record this content are not simple. There are seven different ancient languages ​​including Leiyu, unless someone is very familiar with ancient languages, otherwise, no one will be able to understand the meaning of this sentence.

In addition to the seven ancient languages ​​on the main sentence, under the signature, there is also a line of poetry written in the language of Wangcheng. This line of poetry was written by a well-known poet in the world of Velen, and the content is to explore the boundaries between life and death. This verse is a little test.

After writing, Leo put it in an envelope, sealed it with a wax seal, and waited for the arrival of the night banquet.

After nightfall, the commercial area became extremely deserted because of the closing of the shops, but only the area close to the residential area was like this, but the area near the garden area became extremely lively, and all the entertainment venues here were open. The rich and aristocratic in the Garden District lingered here.

It's just that today, the busiest area in the city seems to have become a lot deserted after nightfall. Some of the big benefactors in the past did not come here, as if the rich and nobles in the entire city became moral models overnight. .

Those people in Xiaohuanchang are not well informed and don't understand what's going on, so they are a little worried and panicked, but for those who have a background, tonight is a bit special, and everything will return to normal tomorrow, so there is no need worry about what.

The Marquis of Roosevelt's mansion held a banquet, which was an important event for the powerful and rich people in Port of Sete. Even though most of the Roosevelt family's property has been transferred to the Kingdom of America, the Roosevelt family is still in the Kingdom of England. With considerable influence, being invited to a banquet at the Marquis Roosevelt's mansion was a status symbol in itself.

And for those who didn't get the invitation, staying at home is the best choice, at least it can give people the illusion that he also attended the banquet, only those ignorant people will go to the commercial district to have fun tonight , because doing so would undoubtedly put him outside the circle of power in Port of Dorset.

A luxury carriage with four purebred scale horses came out of an alley, and the driver dexterously controlled the carriage to shuttle through the crowd on the avenue, passing by the brightly lit gates of the entertainment venues in the business district , and quickly galloped in the direction of Roosevelt Marquis' mansion.

The appearance of this carriage made many interested people feel strange, because those who are familiar with the streets of Dorset Harbor City know that the alley from which the carriage drives leads to a place, and that place is the commercial area near the residential area. This area divides the entire Port of Dorset into a high-level residential area and a low-level residential area, and this area is obviously also divided into the scope of the low-level residential area.

Although there are many shopping malls and shops in that commercial area, and some wealthy businessmen live there, the main consumers there are civilians, and the operators of the shopping malls are also some second-class businessmen, so living there It is almost impossible for people in the area to have any big shots.

But now people living in that urban area can afford such a luxurious carriage and get invitations to the Marquis Roosevelt's banquet, which made some interested people start to feel puzzled and sent people to investigate this matter.

For some people and forces, the dignitaries on the surface of Port of Sete are not terrible, because every move of these dignitaries is watched by others, and they have enough time to respond to any movement, but those who are hidden The powerful are what they are worried about. They don't want to be implicated in a power vortex that can smash them to pieces because of an excessive behavior of their subordinates one day.

Although the invitations to the Marquis of Roosevelt's mansion are not public, if some interested people want to get them, they can still get them. In the invitations, there is an address in a low-level business district, an unfamiliar name, and a In front of a pile of eye-catching names, it stands out. All the people who investigated the origin of the owner of the carriage found out the result almost without spending too much effort.

An upstart with a mysterious origin, this is the first impression of all the people who saw the information about Leo Dodd for the first time, but as they carefully checked each piece of information, they saw Leo Dodd's When they saw that Leo Dodd was still safe and sound after hiring the Duke of Buckingham to resign as a housekeeper, they already listed Leo as a hidden predator that could not be provoked, and distributed relevant information to their subordinates to prevent them from Accidentally collided with this big crocodile, causing himself into unsolvable troubles.
