It took more than ten minutes for Leo to arrive in front of a suspension bridge entering the 10th City District. Two three-meter-tall guards with rough skin and lizard-like heads guarding both sides of the jumping bridge stopped Lei.

Ou's way, and stared at Leo with disgust and contempt, and scolded: "This is not the place you should come, black guy! While I am in a good mood, you leave immediately, otherwise..."

Leo ignored the bad attitudes displayed by the two big guys who were no different from monsters, and directly took out the invitation from the Alcott family and placed it in front of them.

Seeing this invitation, the two big guys were stunned. They quickly recognized the origin of the invitation. Besides showing strong expressions of surprise on their faces, they could not hide a little suspicion in their eyes.

"What are you two idiots doing? This is a distinguished guest invited by your master." At this time, a very hoarse voice suddenly shouted from behind Leo towards the two ancestral mutants who were blocking the way.

Hearing such a special hoarse voice, Leo almost didn't need to look back to know exactly who was behind him.

"Mr. Witsmir, have you also received the invitation?" After the other party finished speaking, Leo turned his head towards the middle-aged man approaching behind him and asked.

I saw that this middle-aged man's hair and beard were trimmed very neatly, and he was wearing the most popular bubble suit in the ten towns now. His whole person was wrapped in a ball shape by a special clothes rack, and he was deliberately smeared on his face.

A layer of special fluorescent powder was applied on him, making him look more like a clown than a big shot with status in the Ten Towns.

Because of his skin color, even if Leo wanted to make friends with people these days, no one would be willing to listen to him say another word. But there are always exceptions in everything. Witsmir is the only one who treats Leo like a normal person these days.

A resident of Ou's dream world. However, it is not clear whether he really did this without any discrimination against the so-called black skin disease, or whether it was for other purposes.

Compared to Leo, a fake merchant, Witzmir, who was dressed like a ball, was actually a real merchant from the Ten Towns. Moreover, he seemed to be very famous and had a certain status in the aristocratic circles of the Ten Towns. The ten bottles that Leo shot

Among the potions, he took three bottles, while the Alcott family, the rulers of the town on Seventh Lake, only took four bottles.

In the past few days, although Witsmir also had his own buying and selling tasks, he would try his best to take out time to talk to Leo every day. Even knowing that Leo wanted to purchase a large number of books, he also helped Leo do so.

He helped Leo find the diary of the veteran guarding the castle in the foggy area.

Although Witzmir helped Leo a lot in acquiring books, Leo could also feel that Witzmir always wanted to get some words out of him during some conversations, and these words were vague.

Wu was testing the unfounded Silvermoon City supporter behind him.

However, it is obvious that the real business skills of the Ten Towns are still a little lacking, let alone that Leo has psychic skills similar to witchcraft.

After Leo used some of his psychic skills to resonate with Vizmir's spirit through the spiritual network and exerted a hypnotic influence on him, Vizmir not only failed to get any information he wanted from Leo, but was actually attracted by Leo.

Some information about his origins was obtained, such as that he was the agent of the Ninth Chief Wizard in the Ten Towns, and that this time he was purchasing 500 special gears for the machinery factory in First Lake Town, etc.

However, Vizmir obviously possesses a wizard's artifact that can avoid the influence of psychic energy. When Leo was about to strengthen the influence and amplify the psychic energy, the wizard's artifact on the opponent's body reacted and brought him out of the hypnotic state.

wake.

After returning to normal, Witsmir seemed to understand exactly what had happened, and even mistakenly thought that Leo was performing witchcraft, so he left in a panic.

Leo originally thought that the Ten Towns Merchant would never have contact with him again, but he didn't expect that the other party would still take the initiative to greet him and come to his rescue.

Wizmir seemed to have forgotten about being hypnotized by Leo last time, and talked to Leo like nothing happened: "This time, Count Andrei XIII invited not only the nobles in the city and you and me.

, as long as they are merchants from other towns, they are all included in his invitation."

Since the other party was actively pretending to be confused, Leo didn't need to expose it, so he acted as if nothing had happened. He followed the other party's words, thought about it for a moment, and asked, "Does he want to buy something?"

If Andre XIII was just contacting the nobles and Leo, then it was most likely for Leo's potion. But now that he knew the details of the invitation list for this banquet from Witsmir, Lei

Ou felt that Andre XIII might have other plans.

"It's possible, but it's not very likely. After all, Count Andrei XIII has his own merchants. With the relationship between the Alcott family and the Wizards Association, he can't buy anything. He doesn't need to rely on us merchants at all.

Buy things for him." As Witzmir spoke, he came to the suspension bridge, took out his invitation, and showed it in front of the two guards.

What was completely different from the situation just now was that the two guards did not doubt the authenticity of the invitation in Wizmir's hand. They immediately stepped aside and let Wizmir onto the bridge. Leo also followed and walked towards the city wall opposite the suspension bridge.

go.

Walking on the slightly swaying suspension bridge, Witsmir took a somewhat rhythmic step, staggering the frequency of the suspension bridge's shaking, making his steps very steady. As he walked, he pretended to be profound and said: "I guess Andre

The Thirteenth may have summoned foreign merchants and local nobles this time for that matter, and he may also want to gain some benefits from it."

Because there are no guards around, the tone and words used by Wizmir have become much more casual. He no longer uses the courtly etiquette language to address Andre XIII, but calls him very casually, more in his tone.

Revealing a trace of disdain for Andre XIII.

However, Leo did not pay attention to the change in Witsmir's tone. He was more concerned about some of the contents revealed in Witsmir's words, such as what the matter was and what the benefits were.

Although Leo had some doubts in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He could tell that Witsmir must have thought that he came to the town of Seventh Lake for an unknown matter, so he used it as a pretense.

He said in confusion: "What is that thing? I don't know what you are talking about?" Then, he obviously changed the subject and said: "Have you bought all the things you want?"

Although what Leo said at this moment was completely true, his artificial expression and deliberately changing the subject made Witsmir more and more certain that his guess was right, and Leo came here for that matter.

of.

"Lord Leo, why do you keep hiding it from me?" Witsmir seemed to be very concerned about Leo's attitude and said: "One of your wizard apprentices did not hesitate to disguise himself as a merchant, even made up as a dark-skinned patient, and even took out ten bottles of wizard

The potion is definitely not just for acquiring those rubbish books, right? Since your identity can no longer be hidden, why don’t the two of us cooperate. You must know that we are not the only ones who hope to make a fortune from it. You

I don’t want the things explained above to go wrong!”

Witsmir's self-righteous intimidation and inducement seemed to expose his trump card in front of Leo, and made Leo understand that the other party regarded himself as a wizard's apprentice because of his previous psychic hypnosis, and he was also a sorcerer's apprentice.

A post-context of the Sorcerer's Apprentice.

In response, Leo deliberately showed a serious expression on his face, and stopped, looking like he was thinking deeply. Seeing Leo like this, Witsmir also stopped, without interrupting, but

He stood quietly aside, waiting for the final answer.

After a while, Leo recovered from his contemplation, looked at the slightly nervous Witsmir, and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. After the banquet, we will find a place to talk in detail."

"I have a good place." Thinking that he had successfully convinced Leo, Witsmir immediately relaxed his nervousness, and with a smile on his face, he said: "You should have heard of the flower shop in District 27.

Come on! I have booked a room there all year round. Just tell the front desk that you are coming to see me, and the waiter there will take you to my room, and I will stay there these days."

When Leo heard this, he didn't answer, but just nodded slightly, crossed Vizmir, and quickly walked up the wall that separated the inner and outer towns, followed closely by Vizmir with a smile on his face.

Because the first to tenth areas are a complete vine floating platform, the urban layout here is much more casual than those in other urban areas. A large number of gardens are scattered and scattered on this huge floating platform, and the gardens are planted

There are many trees. These trees are different from the twisted trees in the forest outside the city. They are somewhat similar to the trees in Velen's world, but they are not as tall.

These gardens are dotted with noble manors, large and small, all belonging to the nobles and their vassal nobles living here. The architectural styles in the manors have their own characteristics, but they all maintain a common feature, that is, all the buildings

They all use asymmetry as the basis of style.

Although the boundaries of the city are not clearly defined by lakes and floating platforms like those outside the city, the nobles living here divide a complete vine flat into ten city districts based on the types of trees planted and the stone slabs paved on the roads.

People in this dream world seem to be very sensitive to the number ten. For example, there are ten chief wizards of the Wizards Association, there are also ten chief pharmacists of the Pharmacists Association, there are ten districts in Silvermoon City, and there are ten towns in Crescent Moon Lake.

The areas of each lake town are one hundred, which is a multiple of ten. There are ten guard castles in the outer fog area, etc.

The number of noble families in Hushang Town has not escaped the limit of ten. There are ten noble families in total. Each noble family occupies a city area. The other people who have obtained noble status can only join these ten families and become vassals.

Although on the surface, the nobles who became vassals lost their way to advance, this was not the case. Except for the Alcott family as the permanent rulers, the other nine noble families could not change their family names, but the rulers within the families could not.

It can be replaced by any means, even a vassal can one day become the main clan.

Therefore, the internal struggle among the nine noble families is very fierce. Those in power must always hold on to the power in their hands and beware of those below taking it away, while those below need to constantly attack the prestige of those in power above.

Steal real power from the opponent bit by bit and ascend to a higher position.

An aristocratic philosopher from First Lake Town once said that any by-product of a power game does not exist as long as there is no evidence. This sentence is recognized by all the noble families in Lake Town and is regarded as an unwritten rule.

The nobles agreed that any by-product of power struggle such as murder and frame-up would not exist without evidence, even if the murder happened in front of everyone.

However, what is ridiculous is that the aristocratic philosopher who uttered this aristocratic law ended up being the murderer of a certain murder because of a button he accidentally dropped, and was eventually thrown into the Crescent Moon Lake in public.

The power games within these noble families will not be known to ordinary citizens outside the high walls, and Leo, an outsider, can understand these things entirely because of a diary he acquired, which also originated from the Third Lake Town.

A certain nobleman, and the person who sold him this diary was also Witzmir.

"The garden banquet held by the Olcott family is the most interesting. The other nine noble families will be present. The banquet will be a bloody arena of intrigues and intrigues, which cannot be seen in other places." Witzmir walked over.

Next to Leo, he looked at everything in front of him and reminded: "However, Mr. Leo, you must be careful. Just be a bystander. Don't get involved in this game. Otherwise, even if you have a wizard apprentice,

Your identity must also abide by the aristocratic rules in the game."

Hearing Witsmir's reminder, Leo smiled noncommittally, turned around and walked to the steam elevator not far away.

After the two people descended to the ground through the elevator, the Alcott family had sent servants to wait here. When they saw Leo, they immediately greeted them, and after checking their invitations, they took them to a car.

In front of the carriage.

The style of this carriage is very similar to the carriage in the world of Velen, but the carriage does not have horses pulling it.

I saw that the manufacturer installed a small steam device at the back of the carriage, and there was an additional crank steering lever on the driver's seat in front. After Leo and Witsmir got on the carriage, the servant sitting on the driver's seat

Pressing the lever on the left hand side, with the sound of a steam whistle, the carriage slowly moved forward, and under the control of the servant's right hand lever, it turned a corner on the spacious road and entered the path on the opposite side of the road.

.

Leo was a little surprised to see this carriage-style steam car. Because since he came to this dream world, everything he has seen in so many days, although there are many novel items, such as blade crossbows, such as

Single steam elevators and other mechanical devices, but most of the prototypes of these machines can be traced in the vinylon world.
