Chapter 146 Confrontation

The Vitovina people are a rare psychic race in the universe where the Earth Federation is located. More than 80% of their people have psychic talents. They have learned to use psychic powers and create psychic powers since ancient times.

The craftsmanship of items is also unparalleled in the universe, and nearly 30% of the psychic items and psychic weapons in the universe are made by them.

Although they are one of the earliest races in the universe to come into contact with alien civilizations, they are very closed to the outside world and are only willing to interact with tribes they recognize. Most of them are business dealings and do not allow others to influence them.

, nor will they interfere in the internal affairs of other ethnic groups or in space wars.

It is precisely because of the conservative foreign policy and always neutral diplomatic attitude of the Vitovina people that nearly 90% of the civilizations in the universe are willing to do business with them, especially the transaction of psychic items, and the Vitovina people export

The most common spiritual item is this eternal light.

Because of this, the Eternal Light has become a symbol of the Vitovina people, so the manufacturing process of this psychic item has always been one of the most closely guarded skills of the Vitovina people.

"Can you take a look?" After the deputy brain system retrieved the information about the Vitovina people, Leo became curious, pointed to the crystal ball that seemed to be the eternal light, and asked Peter Alcott

.

"Okay, please." Peter Alcott was very happy to see others interested in the items he made. The various expressions on those people's faces were one of his rare sources of pleasure.

After getting permission, Leo picked up the eternal light on the table and looked at it carefully. At the same time, he analyzed the item through spiritual network, spiritual perception, spiritual vision and other spiritual skills. In the assistant brain system

After quickly comparing the data, he finally came to the conclusion that as he expected, this thing was indeed the eternal light.

Although the eternal light is a psychic item, it is not uncommon in the universe where the Earth Federation is located. Because of the special nature of its eternal light source, it has become the best hyperspace flight locator, and almost all objects that can cross space

Large fleets will be equipped with one or two Eternal Lights for spatial positioning.

Leo had frequently flown on this type of hyperspace ship in his previous life, and had more than once carried out the task of destroying the Eternal Light Locator of enemy ships in space battles, so he was very familiar with this psychic item, which made him hardly need it.

After spending too much effort, you can already be sure that the crystal ball in your hand is a kind of eternal light.

"Did you do this?" Although he already had the answer in his heart, Leo still asked confirmingly after putting the crystal ball back into the holder.

Although the expression on Leo's face did not change and remained as calm as before, Peter Alcott could feel the surprise in Leo's tone, so he said with some pride: "This thing is not bad! It's a pity that the materials used are too particular.

, the ingredients I can get can only make one."

Leo was indeed shocked in his heart. If, as he inferred, this thing was indeed the eternal light, then it meant that Peter Alcott had visited the universe where the Earth Federation was located, and was in Vitovi

Na Ren learned the craftsmanship of making eternal light from him, which means that he may be able to return to the Earth Federation universe.

The thought of returning to the Earth Federation flashed through Leo's mind for less than a second before it was erased by him. He is now living very well in this magical and interesting world, and there are a lot of novelties every day.

Things to satisfy his curiosity, and the memories given to him by the Earth Federation are only missions, battles, rest, and then continuing the mission, continuing to fight, and there may not even be a rest, so he does not want to go back to the same routine.

A bad world where people are used as weapons.

Leo did not continue to ask for details about this eternal light. He was worried that if he continued to pursue it, some unforeseen changes would occur, and he might even be sent back to the Earth Federation, so his best option was to no longer interact with him.

of contact.

"Why did you come to me?" Leo, who had made the decision, immediately changed the subject and asked.

Leo's move to change the subject surprised Peter Alcott. His intuition told him clearly that Leo was very interested in this magical artifact, but suddenly his attitude changed 180 degrees.

Reversal, acting so coldly, and showing strong rejection of this item also made him very curious.

"You've seen this thing before, right?" Peter Alcott is also a very curious person, and he seems to be a bit stubborn and egoistic. He has no intention of bringing himself into Leo's speaking rhythm, and

He forced the topic back, pointed at the eternal light, stared at Leo's expression, and asked.

Leo's expression was still calm. Although he had not entered the state of mechanical will, his mentality had returned to a situation similar to that of biological weapons back then. His whole person was like a stubborn stone without revealing any information.

I saw that he had no intention of asking Peter Alcott any questions. He directly took the king and queen back on the table, put them in the holster, and then said indifferently: "If there is nothing else, then...

"

"Since you don't want to say it, forget it, let's talk about something else!" While Leo showed strong disgust, Peter Alcott's attitude also suddenly changed, and he leaned on the chair with a smile,

Make yourself appear non-aggressive.

Although Peter Alcott was very curious about Leo and wanted to know why he felt that Leo seemed familiar to him, and also wanted to know the various secrets hidden in Leo, he could also see that Leo had a soft character.

If he refuses to give in, he will eventually fall out.

If Leo was just an ordinary person, it would not be a bad thing for Peter Alcott to have a falling out. He could just find any reason to arrest Leo and torture him. But what he took out from Leo

Judging from those two weapons, he could feel that Leo was very powerful, and just now his intuition told him very clearly that if he took action forcefully, his chances of winning would be very slim.

Peter Alcott is completely different from the other nobles of Ten Towns and Silvermoon City. The memories and knowledge brought by his childhood experience have allowed him to understand what compromise is and what detours are. This knowledge makes him more like a member of the Velen world.

Politicians, face, and dignity are not important. What is important is whether they can achieve their goals in the end. So when Leo showed a tough attitude, he chose to take a step back, ease the current relationship, and then use other methods to get closer to each other until

When the relationship is good, try to find out secrets from the other person.

The whole process of exploring and decrypting secrets is like a game to Peter Alcott, and it is a game that is worthy of his energy and can help him pass his boring time.

Although Leo, who had been targeted, didn't know much about Peter Alcott's true thoughts, he could feel that the other party obviously wanted to dig out some secrets from him, and it seemed that he had already planned to have long-term contact.

, otherwise he would never make such a retreat given his status.

He didn't care about this, but was happy to see the results, because he also wanted to dig out some secrets from the other party, and the more contact he had, the more opportunities he would have to dig out the other party's secrets. As for who can win in the end,

It all depends on their respective methods.

Perhaps because of the same idea, both of them made the same decision, waiting for the other to speak first and looking for each other's loopholes, so they both chose silence at this moment. The cabin immediately became silent, and the atmosphere in the room also changed.

Becoming a little weird.

Soon, the initial decision of the two people changed a little. Both sides guessed the other's intention at this moment, but no one thought about what to say first, making the two of them seem to be in a game. Whoever speaks first will win.

It's the same as losing a game.

At this moment, the maid walked up to the two of them carrying a plate, placed the plate on the table, picked up an exquisite teapot, poured a glass of water for each of them, and placed them beside them.

The two people's eyes fell on the teacup in front of them, and they looked at each other and laughed almost at the same time. Although they didn't know why they were laughing, they both felt that now was the time to laugh.

After laughing, it was Leo's turn to reach out to Peter Alcott and introduce himself: "Leo Dodd, seeker of knowledge."

"Peter Alcott, Dream Seeker." Peter Alcott also shook Leo's hand and introduced himself again.

The atmosphere in the room became much more casual and relaxed at this moment, but the vigilance in the hearts of both parties did not weaken much.

"The surname Dodd is very strange. I don't remember that there seems to be no such surname in the Ten Towns," Peter Alcott said with a look of some thought: "Is this surname a new surname for the honorary nobles of Silvermoon City?"

Each guild organization in Silvermoon City will award honorary noble status to some outstanding individuals within their guild from time to time. However, these statuses are not hereditary, so the surnames generated due to honorary nobles are naturally only temporary.

"No. I just named it casually." Leo directly denied the other party's guess, because the surname of an honorary noble can be found out and cannot be disguised in any way.

"Did you name it casually?" Peter Alcott obviously did not believe Leo's words, but he did not continue to ask further, and continued: "Your Excellency Dodd... Well, this title is a bit too formal, I will still call you

My name is Leo, you can also call me Peter, what do you think?"

"Okay." Leo nodded.

Peter Alcott smiled slightly and continued what he was about to say, saying: "I heard from the old butler that you, Leo, are collaborators with Witsmir, the Ninth Chief's dedicated businessman, right?"

Leo responded simply: "He's a good collaborator."

"It is indeed a good choice." Peter Alcott nodded in agreement and said: "His position in the eyes of the Ninth Chief is not very secure now. Many people are waiting for him to get into trouble so that they can take his place.

, so he must accomplish something when he comes to Seventh Lake Town this time. In order to accomplish something, he is likely to agree to any conditions. If you and him do not reach a final agreement, it is best to consider improving some cooperation conditions now.

, as long as it does not affect his status, I think he will agree."

"You called me here just to tell me how to negotiate terms with Witsmir, right?" Leo didn't intend to go around in circles with Peter Alcott and asked directly: "If you have anything to do, let's just go straight to the meeting."

Say it better."

"Originally I came to you with no other idea. I just wanted to see if you were someone I knew before, but now I have a different idea." Peter Alcott changed his casual attitude and his expression changed.

He became a little more serious and said: "I want to make a deal with you. As long as you tell me the information about the abandoned city, you can choose a factory under my name and all the items produced by the factory."

Hearing Peter Alcott's words, Leo felt a little puzzled in his heart, but the expression on his face did not show it. Instead, he asked calmly: "Don't you know the situation in the abandoned capital?"

"Do you think we nobles of the Ten Towns are qualified to know these things?" Peter Alcott looked at Leo with some displeasure and said, "Your Wizards Association strictly prohibits us from participating in these things."

Leo found that Peter Alcott seemed to be influenced by the old butler and regarded him as a member of the Wizards Association, so he took advantage of the trick and acquiesced to this identity, and continued: "What about the dream stone?

"

Peter Alcott smiled and said: "This is my secret. If you want to know it, you can exchange it for your secret."

Leo was silent for a moment, then deliberately said truthfully: "I don't know what the waste city is? It's useless for you to ask me."

Peter Alcott was stunned for a moment, with an expression of surprise on his face, and then a look of complete disbelief appeared. He clapped his hands and praised with a hint of sarcasm: "You wizards are really powerful, you tell lies."

I actually can’t tell the difference.”

Hearing Peter Alcott's words, Leo showed a smile. He just told the truth deliberately just to test how sharp Peter Alcott's intuition was, and now it seems that Peter Alcott

His intuition seems to be able to distinguish the truth from falsehood to a certain extent, and this discovery also gives him a head start to some extent.

However, the smile on Leo's face caused a misunderstanding to Peter Alcott, who thought it was a proud smile after successfully deceiving his intuition, which also caused him to have some doubts about his intuitive judgment.

He felt that since Leo had the ability to deceive him into correctly judging whether a sentence was true or false, then there must be a way to deceive him into judging whether something was good or bad. Before, his intuition told him that Leo was harmless, and it was possible

It is a disguised deception of the other party's witchcraft.

Thinking of this, Peter Alcott's relaxed mood became slightly more tense, and his body instinctively made a slightly defensive posture. The maid standing quietly aside also moved to his body when his mood changed.
