The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although Leo only met and talked with Sir Roland once, Sir Roland gave him a good impression, and Sir Roland's notes are here with him. He may have been involved in this matter, so Roland He will definitely investigate the cause of Jazz's death.

However, he didn't plan to go to Mosang mainland immediately, because the newspaper mentioned that Sir Roland's body would be sent back to his hometown in the Kingdom of England for burial in accordance with his will. At that time, he could go to check on Sir Roland's body. Find out the cause of his death, and formally investigate after arriving in Mosang mainland after a while.

The next day, Leo, who had nothing to do, was going to the Larson Manor to take a look at the Larson family's collection.

In fact, he had already planned to go to Larson Manor, but after the banquet at the Roosevelt family mansion that day, Leon Larson suddenly had something to go abroad, which made him unable to go as planned.

However, in a few days, Leon Larson came back from abroad, and he also sent a letter to Leo prudently, apologizing to Leo for his sudden departure, and inviting Leo to go to Larson again manor.

Although Leo didn't see the current Leon Larsson himself, he could see from the text on Leon Larsson's letter that Leon Larsson seemed to be in a very good mood now, and his mentality was very relaxed. Something must have happened to Leon Larsson while he was abroad, which is why he had this change in mood and mentality.

Leo did not immediately go to Larson Manor the next day as stated in the letter, but moved the time back, and at the same time sent someone to inquire about Leon Larson.

The information obtained yesterday was sent to Leo. Leo found that the reason why Leon Larson was so happy and relaxed was because he had no debts and didn't need to worry about maintaining a decent person. The money needed for the image.

The reason for this change is that he married a rich woman from abroad. This rich woman is the widow of a nobleman in the Kingdom of Maris, and has inherited a large amount of inheritance from the nobleman. Larson lived like those great nobles.

For Leon Larson's luck, Leo didn't show too much surprise. After all, such things are not uncommon in the world of Velen. There are not many people who marry scholars like this lady.

Leon Larson's private life is not the focus of Leo's attention. His focus is whether it will affect his reading of the Larson family's collection.

Taking the carriage prepared by the butler, Leo quickly drove to the Larson family's manor in the suburbs. Although he hadn't arrived at the Larson manor, some conditions in the suburbs showed that the Larson family was in the port of Dorset back then. grand occasion.

There is a forest on the way to Larsen Manor, which is called Lars Forest.

Outside the forest, there is a deserted stone road in the forest. This is the only road leading to Larson Manor, and it is also specially built by the Larson family.

Four carriages can walk side by side on the road, and there are a lot of stone carvings and exquisite windproof lamps on both sides of the road. Although they are all dilapidated now, they can still be seen as luxurious when they were intact.

Before driving into the manor, Leo could already feel the changes in the manor, because there were many carriages pulling building materials and carriages transporting daily necessities coming and going on the road. It was obvious that Larson Manor was undergoing a comprehensive renovation. This made Leo feel that he made a wrong choice when he went to Larson Manor today.

After the carriage passed the gate of a manor that was being rebuilt, it arrived at the front level of the manor and stopped in front of the main entrance of the main house.

The servant at the door saw a luxurious carriage coming, and immediately ran into the house to inform Leon Larson.

After the coachman opened the door, Leo got out of the car and quickly scanned the situation of the manor.

Now several crumbling auxiliary buildings in Larson Manor have been demolished, and construction workers are now building new buildings. Although the main building has not been demolished, many damaged places have been replaced with new building materials, and even Even the beams have been replaced in several places, and now some workers are painting and making the repaired places old, so that the overall look of the house can still show a sense of history.

At this time, Leon Larson, who was full of energy, came out wearing a very high-end cashmere coat. After seeing Leo, he immediately greeted him happily.

Although Leo and Leon Larson only talked once at the banquet, Leon Larson, who has an uncomplicated personality, already regards Leo as a good friend worthy of deep friendship. When Sen was unlucky, Leo was the only one who could treat him with equality and respect. This kind of respect gained in difficult times was what moved Leon Larson the most.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Larson!" Looking at the owner of the mansion who came over, Leo greeted him proactively, "I'm sorry for my sudden visit without prior notice!"

"Mr. Dodd, I'm really honored by your visit." Leon Larson also responded very sincerely to Leo, and then looked around regretfully. , said: "It's a pity that now is really not a good time to receive guests."

Leo shook the handle that Leon stretched out, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as the Larson family's collection of books is still there, it doesn't matter what the house looks like. Besides, it's better to call me Leo. It's too formal."

"That's right, the spirit of the Larson family is in the collection of books, not in the house." Leon Larson nodded in agreement with Leo's words, and then said kindly: "You can also call me Leon! Please feel free to Here I come, I can't wait to see those cute little guys."

"Don't I need to visit your wife?" Leo asked casually when Leon happily led him to the library.

Leon showed a slightly embarrassed look, smiled wryly, and said, "I'm sorry, recently my wife got sick because she wasn't used to the rainy and humid weather in the kingdom, and she's recuperating in the bedroom of the main house, so it's not suitable for walking around."

"So that's the case, then I can only say hello to Mrs. Zun when I come next time." Leo smiled and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that Leo didn't continue to ask, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then quickly returned to normal, continuing to lead Leo forward.

Looking at Leon's back, Leo had an inexplicable smile on his face. Obviously, the credibility of Leon's explanation of his wife's situation just now was almost zero, and the relationship between him and his wife did not seem to be as good as the outside rumors.

Leo didn't have much interest in learning about Leon Larson's family issues. Since Leon didn't take the initiative to mention it, it would be too impolite for him to ask rashly, so he could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and turn a blind eye.

Soon the two came to the library of the Larson family. It has to be said that the Larson family's love for books has reached the bottom of the tongue. The building seems to be made of ordinary wood, but If you look closely, you will find that these woods are extremely rare red hardwoods.

This kind of red broad-leaved wood only grows in the depths of the wilderness, and the annual cutting volume is less than 200 trees, and the value of each tree is enough to buy a private apartment in a major port town like Sorset Port, such as Leo's apartment It is only equivalent to four red broad-leaved trees.

The reason why this kind of wood is so expensive is not only because the wood pattern and color are very beautiful, but also because this kind of wood has the additional functions of insect-proof, fire-proof and anti-corrosion.

And a few years ago, a medical school research report found that organisms staying in houses made of red broad-leaved wood for a long time have strong anti-aging and anti-disease effects. The hardwood has become even more valuable, and even many adventure groups have gone to the Mosang Continent to go deep into the wasteland, not to find any treasures or rare creatures, but to find new felling spots for red hardwood.

It is precisely because of the preciousness of red broad-leaved wood that most of this kind of wood is taken over by royal families, big lords and rich people in various countries, and this kind of wood rarely appears among the people.

However, the three-story building that Leo saw was actually all made of red broadleaf wood. From this point of view, its luxury is more than enough compared to that of the British royal family. If the news spread that this small building was made of red hardwood, I am afraid that Larson Manor will never have peace, and many desperadoes will be willing to take the risk.

I have to say that foolish people in Lyon are lucky. This small building has been built for a long time. Due to the dust and repeated wall paint on the outside, it is no longer possible for people to recognize the wood used in the small building with the naked eye. If Leo hadn’t If it is the spirit net, it may be difficult to identify it.

Leon opened the door with the key on his neck, led Leo into the interior of the library, and stood in the reading area in the middle, like a king inspecting his territory, or like a child showing his strength to other children. Like candy, he said proudly: "Welcome to the treasure house of the Larson family."

Leo walked up to Leon and looked up at the rows of bookshelves reaching to the roof. The library may not look very big from the outside, but once inside, it feels very huge, and the bookshelves, The pile of books in the aisle makes people feel the depth of the Larson family very intuitively.

"Can I read it?" Although Leo just glanced at it, he was still very keen to find that there were many lonely ancient books that had disappeared outside, so he asked Leon impatiently.

"Of course." Leon smiled and said, "You can read it for as long as you want, the only requirement is not to take the book out."

"Okay." Leo was no longer polite, walked to a bookshelf next to him, and directly pulled out an ancient book to read.

Leon didn't mind Leo's directness either. On the contrary, Leo's urgency made him even more proud, thinking that it was the greatest compliment to the books collected by these families.

Maybe it was because he was influenced by Leo, or maybe it was because he felt awkward standing alone, so he just found a book and sat on the ground to read it.

As time passed, Leon was also addicted to the book. He hadn't felt the feeling of reading a book for a long time, and when Leon was addicted to the content of the book, Leo had memorized hundreds of books in a shocking way. , and began to walk to the books that he hadn't read on the second floor.

However, when Leo reached the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the entrance of the library.

I saw that the door of the library was pushed open from the outside, and an old man with the appearance of a housekeeper walked in, looked at Leo, then turned to look at Leon, walked to Leon's side, and said, "Master, Supper is ready, Madam asked if you would take the guests to the dining room, or have the food brought here."

"Ah!" Leon didn't realize the butler's arrival at this time, and he seemed to be extremely afraid of the butler. He jumped up from the ground in an instant, and took two steps back. Maybe he felt that Leo was watching from the side. Straightening her chest, she ordered to the housekeeper pretending to be majestic: "Tell Madam, we will eat in the library. If it is too late, I will rest in the library, so let her rest first."

"Okay, sir." The butler nodded, turned and walked out.

When the housekeeper left, Leon couldn't help but let out a long breath, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then felt that his movements were a little too big, turned his head to look at Leo, and saw that Leo was holding the Flipping through a book, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sitting on the ground absently flipping through the books in his hands.

However, Leon didn't know that Leo was reading a book on the surface, but he was actually scanning the situation of the butler with his mental net, because when the butler approached the library, Leo discovered that the butler was a Not only a family member, but also a hidden family member who has reached a deep mutation.

Just like a werewolf, there is no difference between him and a normal person in normal times, but once his family blood is stimulated, his body will also mutate, and the degree of mutation depends on the degree of stimulation of his blood.

Judging from the power fluctuations emanating from the housekeeper, his bloodline stimulation has reached a very high level, and once he mutates, he will be completely mutated, just like the murloc he met that day.

A family with such a high degree of blood stimulation is the housekeeper of a noblewoman, so there is no doubt that the rich noblewoman who married Leon is definitely not an ordinary person.

At this time, Leo couldn't help but look at Leon Larson, wondering what kind of special features Leon Larson had on him that would make such a powerful family not hesitate to marry to get close, and he was even more puzzled by Leon Larson. How did Erson know that neither his wife nor her subordinates were ordinary people.
