Chapter 141 Storms and Misunderstandings
Leo once included a large number of books in the database from Rembrandt. A considerable number of the books included were mechanical industry books in the world of Velen, including a machinery industry book published by the Velon Machinists Guild this year.
In the collection of designs, there is no machinery whose main structure is similar to the current steam carriage.
Looking at all the similar machines, the only one with a similar structure to this steam carriage is the steam rail car that was once popular in Miria City for a period of time.
It's just that that kind of rail car still hasn't got rid of the operating mode of a steam train, and it's not like the current steam carriage that can run on any flat road.
"Innovation!" After the subbrain system compared the database and learned that this machine had never appeared in the Velen world, a word immediately came to Leo's mind.
"It's very novel! This is also the first time I've seen this thing. It's really not inferior to the great invention of transport airships." Witsmir on the side suddenly muttered to himself, also showing that he was extremely impressed by the steam carriage he was riding on.
Novel, leaning on the armrest by the window, he said: "This was invented by the youngest son of Andre XIII. That boy has always been a genius. If it weren't for his identity, he might have become the chief of the Mechanics Association.
One of them."
Although Leo was also curious about the youngest son of Andre XIII, it would have exposed some flaws. He did not take the initiative to ask, but remained silent.
Seeing Leo like this, Witsmir thought that Leo was not interested in this matter, so he didn't say anything more.
Because there are devices like soundproof panels at the rear of the carriage, the sound of the steam engine running is not very loud to the people inside the carriage. What echoes inside the carriage is more the vibration and friction caused by the wheels rolling against the ground.
.
Different from other urban areas, the ground of this urban area has been paved with a layer of soil by the nobles living here, and then trees and flowers are planted on the soil, stones are piled to form roads, etc. The environment is similar to building houses on the shore.
"It's such a luxury. Even Silvery Moon City doesn't have this level of luxury." Looking out of the car window at the forest garden flashing by, Witsmir couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, although his face didn't show it.
There was nothing strange about him, but he was emotionally disgusted with this kind of aristocratic life, and his tone sounded disdainful and contemptuous.
Leo did not respond. In addition to avoiding the situation where too much words would lead to mistakes, he felt that Witsmir's sudden words contained a lot of temptation.
Without getting any reaction from Leo, Witsmir looked at Leo with a probing look. It was obvious that in his heart, Leo was no longer just a fledgling wizard apprentice.
Cheng is a scheming and intelligent man, at least impeccable in his choice of words.
"Now I am looking forward to our cooperation more and more." Witsmir said sincerely.
Leo responded with a double-barreled reply, "I'm looking forward to it too."
While the two were talking, the steam carriage passed through the forest garden, passed several vassal noble manors, and arrived at the gate of a manor.
At this moment, many nobles attending the banquet had gathered outside the gate. Most of these nobles were wearing bubble suits similar to those worn by Wizmir, but the color and size were slightly different, and their faces were also smeared.
A thick layer of silver powder made them shine under the moonlight. However, in addition to the nobles who applied silver powder, there were also some people who directly wore masks or simply put on a cover-up.
They wear cloaks all over their bodies, and most of these people are people whose bodies have completely transformed into their ancestral state.
All the nobles entered the manor through the main entrance, and were led by different servants to the main hall of the manor to attend the banquet.
In addition to these nobles living in the local area, there is also a group of people wearing various clothes. Under the guidance of the manor servants, they gathered on the other side of the main entrance of the manor and entered the manor through a small side door. These people are
A merchant who was invited to a banquet.
After Leo and Witsmir got off the car, two servants immediately came to greet them. After showing the invitations, they led them to the small door.
After arriving at the small door, a guard guarding the door came forward and asked Leo to take off his backpack and weapons and hand them to him.
Leo obviously had no intention of compromising, and responded very directly: "Sorry! The things in my backpack are very valuable, so valuable that even your master cannot afford to compensate them, and I am not used to giving weapons to other people, so
I can only refuse your request."
When the guard, whose body turned into a giant, heard this, he frowned, took two steps back, and placed his hand on the handle of a weapon at his waist. Seeing the guard's actions, other guards at the door also gathered around,
It seems that he wants to take some coercive measures against Leo.
"Stop! You'd better not cause trouble for your master. Since Mr. Leo said that the contents of the backpack are important, they must be important." Witsmir didn't know that it was to leave a good impression on Leo, which would be convenient for him soon.
During the cooperation talks, he was really sure to help Leo out of the crisis. All in all, he stood up and expressed his support for Leo very clearly.
The merchants who had not yet entered the manor and the nobles who were waiting outside the gate on the other side were all attracted by the movement here. When their eyes fell on Leo, who was wearing a leather jacket, they all unanimously admired Leo's simple dress.
and skin color, but many of them also knew Vizmir, and were surprised and puzzled that Vizmir expressed his support for Leo so formally.
"You guys, get out of the way. Those who are here are all distinguished guests of the master, and you are not someone you can offend." At this time, an old man without any mutation on his body, wearing a slim tuxedo, walked out of the small door and raised his hand to disperse the crowd.
The guard signaled the servant to continue checking other people's invitations and led others into the manor. He walked up to Leo and Witsmir, saluted the two of them, and said, "I hope what happened just now will not affect you two."
I feel that those little guys are just doing business and have no intention of embarrassing you two."
Although the old man kept his posture very low, the implicit meaning in his words was that he was placed on a high level of truth, accusing Leo and Witsmir of not following the rules.
Seeing the old man coming out, Witsmir's expression became a lot more serious and nervous. He seemed to be a little wary of the old man, and even lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at him.
Compared to Witsmir's nervousness, Leo showed a hint of curiosity when he saw the old man, and his eyes looked back and forth at the old man.
Although there is a subtle psychic fluctuation in the old man's body, this does not make Leo feel too surprised. Because among the nobles around him, more than one person has subtle psychic fluctuations, and in those ancestral states
Several of the transformed guards also had psychic fluctuations on their bodies. This may be because the mutations in their bodies caused them to inadvertently stimulate their own psychic talents, making them pseudo-psykers.
What really aroused Leo's curiosity was the tuxedo on the old man, because if he remembered correctly, this kind of butler-style slim tuxedo only became popular in the Kingdom of England thirty years ago, and with the large number of nobles from various countries,
The high-quality professional butlers hired by the Kingdom of England gradually spread this style of clothing to other countries. Finally, at the first World Steward Conference nineteen years ago, through the agreement of the butler representatives from various countries, this clothing style became the standard for all countries in the world.
Butler standard attire.
But now this costume actually appeared on an aristocratic butler in this dream world. How could such a strange thing not arouse Leo's attention and curiosity.
Just as Leo became curious, the accessory brain system quickly followed his thoughts and analyzed several possibilities. In the end, Leo's attention was focused on the biggest possibility, which was
Maybe someone from the Olcota family can enter the world of Velen.
Judging from the housekeepers and servants who followed other nobles around, it was obvious that the clothes of the old man in front of him did not meet their aesthetic standards, or were in line with their aesthetic standards. However, the old man had been wearing this clothes for too short a time, and there were no nobles here.
The circle has caused some trends. Therefore, this tuxedo was definitely worn by the elderly recently. By observing the details such as the stitching and fabric of the clothes, it can be seen that this suit is newly made and has not been worn for a long time.
In addition, given the old man's status in the Alcott family, this outfit that obviously does not conform to the aesthetics of the aristocracy here would be worn on him. Only someone with status in the Alcott family could order him to do this.
.That’s why Leo was sure that the Alcott family, or more accurately, someone from the Alcott family in the town on the Seventh Lake could enter the world of Velen and obtain knowledge from the world of Velen.
Just when Leo analyzed something that surprised him from the old man's attire, Witsmir, who was a little nervous, bowed to the old man very formally and said, "Sir Weschek."
"Your Excellency Witsmir, long time no see." The old man nodded towards Witsmir, but his attention quickly shifted to Leo, and he seemed to have discovered something on Leo, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
He looked at Leo, and then asked in a relatively cautious tone: "Can I see your weapons?"
Leo did not refuse, and directly took out the king and queen from the holsters on his waist, handed them to the old man, and reminded: "Be careful, they are very heavy."
Leo's words of reminder did not attract anyone's attention, because everyone was attracted by the exquisiteness of these two exquisite psychic weapons. Although they had seen similar revolvers before, but the ones like the king and
This is the first time the Queen has seen such a perfect combination of rough and exquisite firearms.
The eyes of many people showed a look of greed that could not be concealed. If the location and occasion were not inappropriate, they might have already started to rob it, just like they robbed the things they liked from ordinary businessmen in the city.
Everyone ignored Leo's reminder, except for the old man named Sir Wescheck who paid great attention to Leo's reminder. His hands instantly turned into a metallic color, and the muscles in his hands
All the skin disappeared, replaced by tangled steel bars, making people feel the powerful power contained in them just by looking at these arms.
However, after taking over the king and queen from Leo, these two powerful arms were still pressed by the weight transferred by the king and queen, forcing the body to lean forward, and the reinforced body was no longer limited to the arms.
, but began to spread to the body, until his shoulders and chest were all reinforced, he was able to fully adapt to the weight of the king and queen.
The old butler did not try to use these two weapons again. He already knew that these two weapons might be some kind of exclusive wizard artifacts, which also gave him some guesses about Leo's identity.
Just like Witsmir, the old butler also mistakenly believed that Leo was a member of the Wizards Association, but he was bolder than Witsmir. Not only did he think Leo was a member of the Wizards Association, but he also thought that Leo was a member of the Wizards Association.
A formal wizard, not just a wizard apprentice as Witsmir had guessed.
The reason why he made such a bold guess was entirely because of the king and queen's two psychic weapons, which were regarded as magical objects by wizards.
The old butler knows some things within the Wizards Association better than Witzmir. According to his understanding, a formal wizard may not necessarily have a real wizard's rare item in his hand, but a person who owns a real wizard's rare item must be an official wizard.
, and the king and queen were obviously two real magical objects in his eyes.
After returning the king and queen to Leo, the old butler's attitude towards Leo became more respectful.
"Since these things are very important to you, please keep them with you!" The old butler did not force Leo to keep the weapons and backpack, but he still had to take some precautions for the safety of the Alcott family members.
, so he added: "However, please allow me to be your servant for the next banquet and follow you around."
"Okay!" Leo had no objection to this. He took the king and the queen put the gun back into the holster, and nodded in response.
"Please follow me!" The old butler bowed slightly to Leo, then led the way, and Leo followed behind him and entered the manor.
Seeing that the commotion disappeared, Witsmir, who had been nervous since the old butler appeared just now, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed him.
Although several of the main figures who caused the turmoil have left, the aftermath of the turmoil has not disappeared, and almost everyone is speculating on Leo's origins.
Not to mention that Witsmir, the famous businessman of the Ninth Chief Wizard, vigorously defended Leo, the slight change in the old butler's attitude was enough to make those present who are deeply familiar with the game of power think for a long time.
