While waiting for the herbs to be refined into concoction, Leo was not idle. He asked the old man to learn the languages ​​​​of various countries, and by rote memorization, he successfully completed the official languages ​​​​and language of all the countries that joined the Continental Congress in five days.

The country's dominant ancient language.

Because of Leo's astonishing performance, the old man who loves to teach others has enjoyed the addiction of being a teacher. For this reason, he even thought about accepting Leo as an official student several times, but finally gave up. Compared with pure

Instead of having a mentor-disciple relationship, he preferred the mentor-disciple relationship with Leo.

With enough healing potions to support him, Leo stayed awake for five days to memorize all the books he could read. There were nearly 50,000 rare books that he had included in his accessory brain database, making him more aware of this.

The understanding of the world has reached a very high level.

However, this does not mean that he no longer needs to continue learning and replenishing the database.

On the contrary, the more knowledge he absorbed in the dark world, the more he felt his ignorance and the more confused he became about this world.

And because he absorbed a large amount of knowledge and mysteries from the dark world, he found that his database was seriously imbalanced, which also affected his behavior.

The knowledge of the dark world in the accessory brain database is too much, but the knowledge of the real ordinary world is extremely scarce. As a result, when he thinks about problems, he will involuntarily tend to think in the dark world, and this way of thinking will make him

He looks very weird in front of others.

Fortunately, old man Rembrandt, who had had a similar experience, discovered Leo's mental anomaly in time, and while helping him adjust his way of thinking, he also suggested that he temporarily stop forcibly memorizing knowledge about the dark world and first supplement knowledge about the real world.

Let’s talk about basic knowledge and eliminating the adverse effects caused by dark world knowledge.

"I need you to issue a reading card to read all the books in the public library." At noon on the sixth day of staying in the villa, Leo, who had adjusted his way of thinking back to normal, learned that Rembrandt was the world's library.

The honorary chairman of the association made a request to him.

"That's no problem." The old man directly took out a World Library Association reading card that seemed to have been prepared for a long time from the drawer, quickly signed his name on the card, stamped it, handed it to Leo, and said

: "With this certificate, you can read various confidentiality-level books in libraries under the names of all associations in the world without restrictions. I have only issued four such reading cards in my life, and this is the fifth one.

I hope you will make good use of it. Remember, body decays but knowledge is eternal.”

Leo took the certificate with a solemn expression and carefully put it into his inner shirt pocket.

Just when Leo was still about to say something to the old man, Vaschi walked into the study with a cold face, handed a letter in his hand to Leo, and said: "Someone just sent it here.

, specify that the person delivering the letter to you is a high-ranking police sergeant with three bars and one flower."

"Ljungberg!" Leo almost didn't need to think about it to be sure who wrote this letter. Apart from Ljungberg, who else in the entire city of Milia could instruct such a high-ranking police chief to be the postman?

"What's the situation outside?" Leo asked Vashchi.

"Very calm." Vashj replied coldly.

"It's very peaceful?" Leo never thought it would be such an answer. Logically speaking, all the forces should be fighting fiercely at this moment. The army entered the city to take over everything, and the Continental Congress was forced to evacuate. There can be no peace at all.

The two words are related.

"Do you know what a mature politician is best at?" The old man suddenly asked Leo a confusing question.

Leo was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Compromise."

The old man was also surprised that Leo could give the answer, and then he returned to his normal expression. After all, he had seen enough magic that Leo showed in front of him in the past few days, and another surprise would not be worth it.

surprise.

"That's right! It's a compromise." Old Rembrandt nodded, took out a newspaper from a pile of newspapers, and handed it to Leo.

Leo took the newspaper and read it, and saw that the front page of the newspaper was an analysis chart of the situation of the heir to the throne of the empire. In this analysis chart, Duke Devin's advantage had been far exceeded.

Two other heirs.

According to the current situation, as long as the sixteen territorial hereditary nobles and the twenty military hereditary nobles arrive, and a noble council is convened according to past practice, it will be a foregone conclusion that Duke Devin will become the emperor of the French Empire.

"Even the military nobles have already sided with Duke Devin." Leo put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "If the contents here are true, there should be no chance for these two heirs to the throne to make a comeback.

"

"Is it really true?" The old man said in a deep voice, "You haven't looked carefully yet. They are all statements from the Eastern Continent. What about the Western Continent?"

Leo wondered: "Isn't there Rupert Fitz in the Western Continent? These are all his plans for Duke Devin. There is no way he will let his plans fail!"

"You are still not used to seeing the essence of things. Although you have found the key point, your judgment is wrong." The old man smiled and pointed: "No matter what Rupert has done or whose side he is on, his essence

They are all businessmen. In the eyes of businessmen, everything in the world can be measured by money. Spending the least amount of money to get the maximum benefit is the essence of every qualified businessman."

As he spoke, he saw the old man took out an autobiographical book written by Rupert a few years ago and handed it to Leo, saying: "When Rupert invested in Duke Devin, it happened to be Duke Devin who was in the most difficult situation.

At that time, he invested the minimum amount of money to support Duke Devin through the difficulties, and when Duke Devin rose, he reaped huge benefits. Later, Duke Devin committed an offense and was kicked out of the Winter Palace by Louis IX.

Lin City, but he still did not give up Duke Devin and continued to increase investment, which enabled Duke Devin to obtain the current territory and his strength grew steadily. He also obtained the commercial franchise of the Duke Devin Territory and expanded with it.

His business network in the Western Continent has become the current business giant in France."

Leo listened to the old man's narration, looked down at the man with firm eyes on the cover of the book in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that he wants to change investment objects and obtain greater benefits?"

"Duke Devin has become the emperor of the French Empire. No matter how much Rupert invests, he will not be able to obtain greater benefits. Moreover, with Duke Devin's personality and character, he will never allow a person like Rupert to have such extreme influence on the empire.

People with strong influence exist." When the old man mentioned Rupert, his face couldn't help but feel proud and proud, "This issue of survival has existed from the beginning, and Rupert knows this very well, so he

We found a way out early."

"Three-tier parliamentary system." Leo said solemnly.

"Yes!" The old man nodded and said: "It's just that it is not appropriate to simply rely on the merchants, civilians and nobles of the Western Continent to form a three-level parliament. There is no legitimacy, so we need to find someone who can give the three-level parliament

Orthodox people."

Leo couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, because he already knew what was going to happen, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the other two heirs to the throne in the newspaper who were far behind and had almost no chance of winning. After being silent for a while,

He said in disbelief: "How could it be that he had planned all of this from the beginning?"

The old man was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said: "I don't know either, but judging from the development of things, I can always feel that someone is secretly pushing me. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who has such a good idea."

vision and wisdom.”

Leo lowered his head and looked at the letter he had just received but not opened, and wondered: "But what does this have to do with me? They can negotiate on their own, why..."

"You were an accident, an accident that could affect all changes in the situation." Before Leo could finish speaking, the old man pointed at Leo's chest and said seriously: "Actually, the moment you killed the president of the Skull and Bones Society,

, you caused damage to Rupert's plan. Originally, he should have wanted to borrow the power of the Skull and Bones Society to continue to occupy a position in the situation in Miria City, but your appearance changed his plan. However,

This change was not big, and he didn't care about it, but what was really fatal was the ability you showed in assassinating those people in the dark world a few days ago. Killing an enemy silently from more than a thousand meters away, this kind of ability

It is enough to pose a threat to anyone, so if your threat is not eliminated, any negotiation or plan may lead to unforeseen surprises."

Leo's face darkened, the murderous intent in his eyes rolled in, and he said, "They want to kill me?"

Although the old man has met all kinds of people, he has never seen someone with such a strong murderous intention like Leo. Even Vashqi who was standing beside him knew clearly that Leo would not harm the old man, but he was still attracted by this trend.

Affected by the murderous intention, his hand couldn't help but place it on the weapon at his waist.

"Probably not." The old man shook his head and said: "You have no grudges against them now. It is the stupidest way to push you to a dead end. It is impossible with the wisdom of smart people like Rupert and Ljungberg.

I can’t see the disadvantages in it. Since Ljungberg sent you the letter, he must have the idea of ​​​​appeasing you. It is impossible for them to be your enemy unless they have to." As he said, he smiled again and said:

"I have to say that you showed me another miraculous thing. With the power of one person, you directly forced two big figures in the Western Continent to take the initiative to comfort you. It is really incredible!"

Leo ignored the old man's teasing, opened the letter in his hand, and took out a note from it. He saw an address written on it. He remembered that this place was a small block in the embassy district of the Kingdom of Maris, about 30 kilometers away from the embassy district.

The iconic Megalithic Palace is not far away.

At this time, the old man also saw the address on the note and said, "This seems to be where Annie and your comrades are hiding."

"What does he mean? Is he threatening me?" Leo frowned and said coldly.

"I don't think so." The old man took the note and turned around.

I saw that there was another signature on the note. Leo couldn't understand it because it was in aristocratic cursive script, but the old man could understand it, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

Leo asked: "Do you recognize these names?"

The old man put the note on the table and said: "Philippe Cappellu, Prince Bodo, one of the three heirs to the throne, a member of the royal family supported by Baron Maupassant."

Leo frowned and said, "Shouldn't he be in Donglin City at this time?"

"The foggy period in the Black Forest has made it much more difficult to deliver messages." The old man said with a serious look: "It seems that there are already results in Donglin City." After saying that, he paused and then said: "Including me, Lu

Everyone, including Bert, underestimated Duke Devin and didn't expect that he could kick out all the heirs to the throne so quickly."

Leo suddenly had an idea and said, "Does he want me to run to Donglin City to help him assassinate Duke Dewen?"

"It's possible." With insufficient information, the old man was unable to make any useful judgment and said, "I suggest you go there and find out the situation."

Leo was silent for a moment, then stood up, took off his windbreaker from the hanger and put it on, put on his hat, and put on all the necessary equipment, as if he was preparing for war.

Although the old man felt that nothing would happen, he agreed with Leo's approach.

After getting dressed, Leo left the villa directly. When he saw Leo's figure disappearing at the end of the street in the villa area, Vasqi suddenly said: "Do you want me..."

The old man shook his head and said: "No! There are too many people looking at me. I don't want to get involved in such a thing, and he doesn't need us to do anything."

After leaving the villa, Leo was about to stop a carriage on the street outside and go to the address on the note, but at this time a carriage came from not far away and parked next to Leo, and he saw

Annie stuck her head out from the car window and said, "Get in the car!"

Leo boarded the carriage and looked at Anne seriously. After the carriage drove out of the villa area of ​​Xiexianyue Lake, he said, "Can you tell me what happened before we reach the destination?"

Annie was stunned and said: "Is it possible that the old man didn't analyze it for you in the villa area? This old guy likes to analyze the world situation for others."

Leo said in a deep voice: "I have analyzed it, but I still hope to hear something from you."

Anne didn't talk too much and said simply: "It's very simple. The battle for the throne ended before it officially started. One of the heirs was unwilling to fail and fled here. Then he opened fire on some careerists and patriots.

An irresistible offer turns an enemy into an ally." As she spoke, she sneered disdainfully and said, "This is politics."

"What do they want to do?" Leo asked again.

"I don't know." Anne shook her head and reminded: "But people from the Embassy of the Kingdom of England are here."
