The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although he already understood that the Prince of Wales was the tool used by the White Deer to lure Leo to the Valley of Flowers, Leo did not intend to let him go just like that. After all, he had already shown by his actions that he would trouble the Prince of Wales to show himself Muscles, so as not to make people think that he is afraid of the power of the Prince of Wales, and there will be more follow-up troubles at that time.

However, before Leo could find the Prince of Wales, on the night after he returned from Flower Valley, two uninvited guests came to the hotel where he lived. One was the court wizard Otto whom Leo knew, and the other was a A middle-aged man with an old appearance.

The reason for this contrast is that although the man looks very old and looks much older than Otto, his eyes give Leo a middle-aged feeling.

In addition to the contrast in age, Leo also found that this person has very obvious family power fluctuations.

After such a long time of research, Leo has been able to judge the strength of each person from the nuances of life energy or power fluctuations in each person. As long as he collects enough energy fluctuation information over time, he can complete the database. information, then he will be able to clearly distinguish the source of any kind of power, instead of only being able to vaguely sense that this old middle-aged man is a very powerful family member like now, perhaps it is also the reason why he is currently in Velen. The most powerful family the world has ever seen.

In Leo's feeling, the power of this family is very strong, because this family makes him feel the pressure, which means that the other party can pose a certain threat to his safety.

However, although the other party is powerful, Leo did not appreciate it, but turned to look at the old wizard, as if talking to an old friend, and said very easily: "How did you find it?" mine?"

"You made a lot of noise in Huagu during the day." The old wizard didn't hide anything, and answered directly, and asked very curiously: "Did you find anything?"

Hearing what the old wizard said, Leo quickly understood that things full of strange phenomena such as Kevin Town, Blue Palace and Flower Valley must have been paid attention to by other people, such as the royal family and the special bureau, and they must have arranged here all year round. Some surveillance items. There is no doubt that the appearance of the white deer during the day must have brought great fluctuations to the hexagrams around the entire Kevin Town, and it is difficult for people not to notice.

With the capabilities of the Special Bureau and the royal family, with a little investigation, Leo's whereabouts will definitely be found.

After thinking about this, Leo felt a little vigilant in his heart, because according to his previous ability, he thought it was impossible for people to find his whereabouts so easily. It can be seen that with the improvement of his strength and the influence of the environment and life, His way of doing things and his code of conduct are different from before, and this difference is somewhat difficult to distinguish.

Although Leo was thinking about his own affairs, he was still able to focus on talking to the old wizard, and asked in the opposite direction: "What do you find? How about we exchange each other's discoveries?"

Hearing Leo's proposal, the old wizard immediately shook his head, showing an awkward smile, then took half a step back, and stood beside the old middle-aged man.

"Let me introduce you!" The old wizard offered to introduce: "This is the director of the Special Bureau, Sir Frank Fussen. This is the Mr. Leo Dodd I mentioned before."

"Hello!" Frank Fussen didn't know whether it was because of his natural personality, or because he was affected by the blood of his family, his tone and expression seemed cold.

"Hello." Since the other party seemed so indifferent, Leo naturally didn't intend to put his face on his face, so he responded very simply, then turned his head and asked the old wizard as if ignoring Frank Fusen: "Are you here on the business of the Prince of Wales?"

"Yes."

"no!"

Two diametrically opposed answers came from both of their mouths at the same time.

The two also realized this, glanced at each other, and said almost at the same time: "You speak first."

After discovering that the other party spoke at the same time as themselves, the two made the same choice, that is, not to speak again, and wait for the other party to speak first.

"Are you two here to be funny?" Leo looked at the two and couldn't help laughing. Then when the two were about to speak, he pointed at the old wizard and said, "You talk first!"

Seeing what Leo said, Frank Fussen also swallowed what he was going to say, and made a gesture of invitation to the old wizard next to him.

After the old wizard confirmed that Frank Fussen would not speak, he stated his intentions according to the original plan, and said, "I am representing the royal family this time, and I am here to explain the misunderstanding with the Prince of Wales to His Excellency Leo."

"Is it just to explain the misunderstanding?" Leo looked at the old wizard coldly.

"Of course not," the old wizard shook his head and said, "There are still some reconciliation compensations."

"In that case, how are you going to compensate me?" Leo asked again.

Hearing Leo's question, the old wizard couldn't help being stunned, because according to his estimation, he might have to spend a lot of time to persuade Leo not to take revenge on the Prince of Wales, but what he didn't expect was that he only spoke, and Lei Ou compromised, which made him wonder if there was something wrong with Leo.

Seeing that the old wizard hadn't spoken for a long time, Leo couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Why, isn't the reconciliation compensation offered by the royal family too small to speak out?"

"Of course not." The old wizard saw that Leo seemed to have misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Please believe that in order to solve this misunderstanding, the terms offered by the royal family will definitely satisfy you." He took out three envelopes from his pocket, put them in front of Leo, and said, "This is the reconciliation terms offered by the royal family, you can choose one."

Seeing that the royal family was so well prepared, Leo was also curious about the terms of reconciliation offered by the royal family, so he casually took the envelopes in the hands of the old wizard and opened them to look at each.

Although he was mentally prepared, Leo was still surprised by the royal family's generosity.

The first envelope that was opened contained only a very fine-looking supporting document, which said the Royal Academy Third Library Unlimited Permanent Library Card, with the signature and seal of the current King George VI on the back, under the document The name of the person is blank, as long as Leo fills in the name, the certificate will take effect immediately.

It has to be said that the reconciliation condition offered by the royal family was completely prepared for Leo's character. With the ability of the royal family, it can be easily found out that Leo has an unparalleled passion for books, and the Third Library of the Royal Academy is very interested in him. Definitely a huge treasure for anyone.

Although the third library of the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of England was not the earliest library built by Velen, nor the largest library, it is the most famous library, because it houses the most mysterious collections in the world. Moreover, various disciplines derived from the study of occultism also put their research books in the library, making this place a sacred place for the study of Velen occultism.

The reason why the British royal family wants to build a nondescript library in the Royal Academy, which is famous for scientific discoveries and inventions, is entirely because the royal family, which claims to be descendants of Poseidon, has always been extremely interested in occult science, and wants to research some that can The way to help him improve the purity of his bloodline and gain the true power of the Son of Sea God. It's a pity that no solution was found, and various research materials related to occultism were piled up in the library layer by layer, and only then did it reach its current scale.

In fact, when Leo heard about the third library of the Royal Academy, he already had the idea of ​​going to the library to check various mystic materials. However, I later learned that this library is not accessible to just anyone. To enter, you not only need to obtain a college degree, but also need to apply to the royal family.

Because of these troublesome things, he could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​borrowing books, and try to sneak into the library and read them directly when he has time and opportunity.

But what he didn't expect was that after he changed his mind, the passport he wanted most appeared in front of him, which made him very entangled.

Compared with the conditions in the first envelope, the conditions in the remaining two envelopes are a bit more arbitrary.

Inside an envelope is a cash check with a huge number. As long as Leo fills in his name and stamps it, he can get a lot of money.

The content in the other envelope is simpler, it is a real estate certificate, and it is not the real estate here, but the real estate of the royal family in Mozambique. The strange thing is that this real estate is not an ordinary apartment or building, but a castle.

In order to resist the attacks of various tribes in the Mozambique continent, the British royal family bought a large number of slaves, and then offered a large bounty as bait to drive the slaves to the plains at the border between Megalica and Panier for a short period of time. , Built more than a dozen castles, large and small.

Most of these castles were destroyed during the War of Independence in Megalica and Paneer, and only a few survived, and the Cardinal Castle, which was brought out by the British royal family, is the most famous of them.

The reason why Cardinal Castle is famous is entirely because this castle is the largest castle in Mozambique and even in the world of Velen. The whole castle is composed of a main castle and three auxiliary castles. For comparison, it takes more than ten Old Johns Forts to add up to form a Cardinal Castle.

In addition to its huge size, Cardinal Castle also has some very mysterious legends. For example, it is said that there is a mysterious door hidden in Cardinal Castle. As long as you hold the door guard and open the door, this door can lead to the person who opened the door. where to go.

Besides the most famous door legend, what Leo is more interested in is the fog that appeared in Cardinal Castle. According to the legend, there will be some fog in Cardinal Castle from time to time, and anyone who walks into the fog will eventually die. Won't be coming out again.

This kind of foggy legend made Leo think of the foggy world outside the town of Hushang, as if there was no connection between the two.

In addition to the large sum of money, the other two choices made Leo feel a little bit moved. For him, the reconciliation is not unacceptable, and he can get a suitable reconciliation compensation. He doesn't mind performing a play with the royal family, and the two Both choices are above Leo's psychological bottom line.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo picked up the real estate certificate of Cardinal Castle, picked up the pen and ink on the desk in the room, quickly wrote his name on the transfer letter, and then asked very carefully: "I'll have no problem taking over the property, will I?"

"No, the royal family has already negotiated the ownership of this property with the US government. Now there are servants of the royal family who are responsible for daily maintenance. You just need to go and receive it." The old wizard saw Leo sign the contract. After naming his name, a smile appeared on his face. Being able to resolve this matter satisfactorily would have many intangible benefits for his status in the hearts of the royal family, so he didn't mind reminding Leo, saying: "However, I suggest You don’t need to go directly to receive it yourself, first send your steward to receive the castle, and then assemble enough servants and workers, after all, the castle is too big, without enough manpower, it may be very difficult to maintain it.”

Hearing this, Leo nodded and accepted the old wizard's kind reminder. Then he turned his head and asked Frank Fussen, who had been sitting quietly by the side, "What about your Excellency? What is your Excellency looking for me for?" "

Through the conversation between Leo and the old wizard just now, Frank Fussen also got a little understanding of Leo's character, so he straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming, saying: "I hope that Lord Leo can become a long-term partner with our special bureau, and continue to supply A wizard's potion concocted by Your Excellency."

As soon as Frank Fusen's words fell, the old wizard couldn't wait to say: "The royal family hopes that His Excellency Leo can supply some wizard potions on a monthly basis. Of course, the royal family will not allow you to supply them for free. You will not be disappointed."

Hearing what the old wizard rushed to say, Frank Fussen showed displeasure on his face, but then he had to show a wry smile.

It has to be said that the person who stood behind the old wizard and planned this matter for him directly hit his weakness. Although he is the director of the special bureau, he does not hold financial power in his hands, and all financial expenditures need to be calculated annually. The form of the budget is to apply to Congress. Even if there is an emergency budget, it can only be used under special circumstances. As for the purchase of medicines, it is definitely not among the many situations where the emergency budget can be used.

It's just that Frank Fussen had considered asking the price before he came, so what the old wizard said didn't make him give up. He said confidently: "The price I offer can't be compared with the royal family, but I can To provide you with some extra help, such as what you need our assistance to investigate, I think our special bureau will be happy to cooperate with you, and your friend is also in our special bureau, we can focus on training him..."

"Are you threatening me with Jason?" Before Frank Fussen could finish speaking, Leo interrupted him indifferently, and looked at him blankly.
