Due to various unexpected changes, Leo became very interested in the things stored in the space in his palm. If attending the wake was not very important for him to fulfill Peter Alcott's promise, he might still stay in that cabin now.

Inside, study how to smoothly take out the things in the space.

It was precisely because of his mentality that he didn't care at all about the situation at the wake and had no interest in paying attention to the situation in the wake hall. After sitting down with Witsmir, he devoted himself entirely to the study of the space in his palm.

Although Leo and Wizmir had taken the initiative to keep a low profile, their behavior seemed out of place with the atmosphere in the hall. After all, when everyone stood up and chatted with others around them, two people sat down as soon as they came in.

They didn't say anything while sitting on the chair, and had no intention of standing up and talking to others, which made the two of them a bit conspicuous in the wake hall.

Perhaps no one paid attention to the two of them at first, but soon some eyes fell on them.

For Witsmir, the exclusive businessman of the Ninth Chief, those who are interested can still recognize it. If it were in the past, maybe someone would have taken the initiative to say hello to Witsmir now, but these interested people are all well-informed people and know that this person

His position as the Ninth Chief was somewhat worrying, so he had no idea of ​​making friends, at least until Witsmir's position was consolidated.

Compared with Witsmir, who was easily recognized by interested people, Leo, a stranger, was more likely to arouse the curiosity of interested people. This curiosity was not because they discovered any special temperament in Leo.

Rather, they were puzzled as to how such a stranger with black skin disease qualified to sit in the wake hall.

After some discussion about Leo's identity, someone soon recognized Leo's origin. After all, Leo's sale of wizard potions that day was considered a noisy matter worth mentioning in the aristocratic circle. In addition, Leo

Such a special skin color naturally aroused some curious people to investigate.

After learning about Leo's identity, some people who knew something about Peter Alcott's will couldn't help but feel that their trip was not in vain, and they were likely to see a good show.

After that, several restless meddlers gathered next to Robert Alcott, the heir to the seventh Alcott family who was famous for his bad temper, and whispered that Leo, who was not supposed to be there,

The people at the wake told Robert Alcott.

However, what disappointed everyone was that Robert Alcott, the eldest son who cared most about Peter Alcott's legacy, did not rush to Leo and drive Leo out of the wake hall as they expected.

On the contrary, after knowing Leo's identity, Robert Ol' Urquhart just turned around, looked at Leo calmly, said nothing, and continued to attend the wake with the people around him as if he didn't know about the will.

The factory managers will communicate with each other about improving factory systems and other matters.

However, while Robert Alcott calmly accepted Leo's arrival, a woman wearing a black veil standing not far from him looked very unhappy after hearing Leo's arrival.

She first stared at the unconscious Witsmir with a look full of annoyance. Apparently she regarded Witsmir, who brought Leo to the wake hall, as the main culprit who ruined her good deeds.

Then she turned her attention to Leo again, and looked at Leo unscrupulously, with no concealment of disgust for his skin color in her eyes. Even if Leo was deep in thought, he could still feel this

Strong feelings of disgust.

Leo, who was out of contemplation, raised his head and looked at the source of the disgusted gaze. When he saw the woman wearing a black veil and a black robe, her expression looked very calm, so calm that she felt like she was being ignored.

a feeling of.

On Leo's side, the deputy brain system easily analyzed that this woman should be Peter Alcott's biological mother, the seventh Alcott, based on her location, clothing and the attitude of people around her.

Anna Alcott, matron of the Cote family.

Leo didn't have any unusual views on Anna Alcott, a woman, although she first married his father, and then married his son, and gave birth to four children for whom he didn't know how to count.

Heirs of different generations, but these are the reproduction customs of the aristocratic family in Hushang Town and cannot be viewed in terms of outside customs.

However, Leo will not underestimate this woman who looks very weak, not to mention that Ms. Anna has been in charge of the seventh Alcott family for decades by her own means, making her husband and son happy.

Andre XIII has become a puppet-like existence. The hidden power Leo has discovered in her now is enough for Leo to treat her as a real opponent.

According to outside rumors, Anna Alcott is an ordinary person whose body has not undergone any ancestral transformation. This is considered a serious crime in any noble family. The status of such a member in the respective noble family may not even be known.

No ordinary servant can compare.

However, Anna Alcott was very lucky to meet a father who doted on her and a son who had great trust in her, and both of them happened to be the heads of the seventh Alcott family.

However, now in Leo's view, Anna Alcott's past experiences and rumors cannot be described as just good luck. They should be closely related to Anna Alcott's true power.

.Because even though Anna Alcott does not have any traces of ancestral transformation on her body, as a wizard, she is not as weak as the outside world reports.

How strong Anna Alcott is, because there is no specific comparative data, and the deputy brain system cannot analyze it. But through the psychic fluctuations emanating from Anna Alcott, and the large and small things on her body,

Judging from the small wizard's rare items, except for herself, Marek, and the expedition member Charles Longco who had just arrived a few days ago, no one else in the entire town of Seventh Lake should be her opponent.

After looking at Leo for a moment, Anna Alcott turned around and said a few words to the people next to her. Then, under the gaze of some caring people in the wake hall, she walked directly to sit next to Leo.

Anna Alcott's actions were also noticed by the members of the seventh Alcott family. Most of these people had some surprised expressions on their faces because they did not understand the situation, wondering about this person.

What does a prospective home owner do?

Robert Alcott, the only one who understood the situation, frowned slightly, a trace of displeasure flashed across his face, but he did not stop his mother's intention. He only diverted part of his attention to spy on the changes in the situation here.

"Fifty thousand." Anna Alcott directly revealed a number without even having a polite conversation.

A blunter person would not understand what this straightforward way of talking meant, but Leo could easily understand that the five hundred thousand should be the money to buy the mechanical puppet.

"I'm not short of money!" Leo responded calmly without turning his head to look at Anna Alcott.

"Silver Moon," Anna Alcott said again.

This time, not only Leo was a little surprised, but also Witsmir, who was preparing to stay out of the incident, couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing the words "Silver Moon Coin".

The main currency in circulation in Hushang Town is the federal currency issued by the Lake District Alliance. This is also the only legal tender recognized by the Lake District Alliance. However, the Silver Moon coin is a special existence. It is not circulated to the outside world. It is specially issued by the Silver Moon City Wizards Association for official wizards.

A magic currency developed, mainly used for some commodity transactions related to witchcraft, and is not circulated to the outside world.

And because making this kind of currency requires the use of wizards' witchcraft, the manufacturing process is very complicated, so the quantity is not very large. According to incomplete statistics, the Wizards Association has produced less than 20 million Silver Moon coins in total.

It is precisely because the number of Silver Moon coins coming out of the circulation channel is extremely rare and has a special origin that the nobles of the Lake District Alliance are also flocking to Silver Moon coins. They believe that transactions between nobles should also be settled in Silver Moon coins to distinguish between nobles and

common people's class.

Therefore, in the aristocratic circle of the Lake District Alliance, the ratio of Silver Moon coins to federal coins has always been high. From the initial ratio of one to two, it has increased to one to one hundred and two now. In other words, Anna Alcott

The fifty thousand mentioned is actually six million in federal currency, which is more than an ordinary noble family can accumulate in a lifetime.

The reason why Witsmir was so surprised was not because of the huge and eye-catching number of Silver Moon coins converted into federal coins, but because of the Silver Moon coins themselves.

As the exclusive merchant of the Ninth Chief, Vizmir is naturally very aware of how strong the purchasing power of Silver Moon Coins is in Silver Moon City, and even more aware of how scarce the number of Silver Moon Coins is. Taking the Ninth Chief as an example, even for such a position

It is impossible for a high-ranking chief wizard to take out as much as 50,000 silver moon coins at one time. It is already very impressive to be able to collect 20,000 silver moon coins at the highest level.

As for the other chief wizards, the situation is similar to that of the ninth chief wizard. Only the first three chief wizards are in a slightly better situation, but they still need to think carefully about spending 50,000 silver moon coins at once.

Now Anna Alcott can take out 50,000 silver moon coins so easily, and the seventh Alcott family where Anna Alcott belongs is not the strongest among the entire ten-town family.

It is hard to imagine how deep the foundation of the entire Alcott family is. Not to mention the internal strength of the family, just in terms of financial resources, I am afraid that even the ten chiefs of the Wizards Association may not be able to match it.

While Witzmir associates the strength and heritage of the Alcott family with the fifty thousand silver moon coins, Leo's attention is more focused on the mechanical puppet worth fifty thousand silver moon coins.

Peter Alcott's psychic puppet maid really shocked Leo. If it were placed in the universe of the Earth Federation, there would be such artificial intelligence robots, but in a world where technology is still in the steam civilization

, such a mechanical puppet looks extremely amazing.

From the moment Peter Alcott wanted to bring his psychic puppet into the abandoned city, Leo knew that this psychic puppet was extraordinary, but now Anna Alcott's performance made him understand that he was

The value of this psychic puppet is somewhat underestimated.

According to Leo's understanding, once the puppet psyker who gave it psionic power dies, the psionic puppet will lose any vitality. The only valuable thing is the machine inside the puppet.

structure.

But now Anna Alcott is actually willing to spend 50,000 silver moon coins to buy the useless psychic puppet from Leo. It is difficult to explain this with the reason that she does not want her son's remains to be left outside. The only way to explain it is

Even in that psychic puppet now, there may be a big secret about Peter Alcott hidden, and Anna Alcott should know this secret.

"Seventy thousand." Seeing that Leo didn't respond, Anna Alcott continued to add another 20,000 silver moon coins.

This time, her voice was much louder, which made other people around her who were paying attention and those who were not paying attention couldn't help but turn their attention. When those who didn't understand the situation learned from other people who were interested that 70,000 Silver Moon was involved.

When I bought the coins, the wake hall immediately became much quieter, and from time to time, some shocked gasps could be heard.

After learning about the situation, children such as Robert Alcott and others looked at their mother with dissatisfaction, but no one stopped her mother from this seemingly crazy behavior.

"I'm not short of money, Mrs. Anna Alcott." Leo also felt a little uncomfortable being the target of being watched by everyone. He frowned and responded coldly.

Hearing Leo's answer, the surrounding dignitaries in the town of Seventh Lake felt very different. Not to mention the power of the Seventh Alcott family, the 70,000 silver moon coins paid by the other party alone was already a huge sum.

Many aristocratic families may not be able to have such a huge amount of money in their lifetime.

But Leo, a stranger with black skin disease, so casually rejected Anna Alcott's deal, and it was not difficult to tell from his tone that the other party did not seem to take the Alcott family seriously at all. This made

Everyone couldn't help but doubt Leo's identity again.

After hearing the rejection again, Anna Alcott did not make any further remarks. She stood up and left the wake without saying anything. She did not even plan to attend the important announcement of her inheritance.

, which means that she is equivalent to giving up the part of the inheritance that she should have inherited.

Seeing Anna Alcott's unexpected move, even the most obtuse people in the wake could clearly understand that the actual person in charge of the town on Seventh Lake was angry, and very angry.

As for the other members of the Alcott family whose names were in the will, they looked at Leo with a grateful look, because Leo's refusal undoubtedly did them a favor, and they could all learn from Anna Orr.

A piece of the inheritance that Kurt didn't want.

At this time, an old man with wrinkles on his face walked out of the crowd and came to the front desk of the wake hall. He placed the document package in his hand on the wooden platform, knocked it a few times with a mallet, and said: "I
Chapter completed!
