The Duke of Buckingham of the Kingdom of England was a legendary noble family both a hundred years ago and now. It was also the top noble family in the world of Velen, and was also called the mother of Velen.

The reason why there is such a title is because almost all the royal families and big families in Velen have the blood of the Duke of Buckingham family, and the women of the Duke of Buckingham are also regarded by various countries as a symbol of perfect women.

In the Kingdom of England, although the Duke of Buckingham is nominally a vassal of the King of England, in fact the Duke of Buckingham is not ruled by the King of England, and even the territory of the Duke of Buckingham is not under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom Parliament.

The Dukedom of Buckingham is independent of the kingdom in terms of law and taxation, and overall it can be regarded as a country.

A position like the steward of the Duke of Buckingham's residence is equivalent to a palace minister in a country. It is not unimportant and may even come into contact with the secrets of the Duke of Buckingham. This position will definitely be given to the elders of the family, and they may even work for a lifetime, even if

You cannot leave the Duchy of Buckingham even after you retire.

So when Leo heard Jason mention that Sanges was the Duke of Buckingham's butler, his only thought was that it was impossible. But then he thought that Nelson would definitely think of this and still choose to hire Sanges, so he was sure

After investigating Sanges’ identity, there is definitely no problem with Sanges’ identity. Then a new question arises: why did Sanges leave the Duke of Buckingham, and why was his freedom not restricted by the Duke of Buckingham?

Although Leo is not afraid of trouble, he does not want to get involved in some unnecessary troubles for no reason, especially when these troubles involve powerful people like the Duke of Buckingham.

"I don't know." After hearing Leo's question, Jason shook his head and said, "Nelson asked him, but he didn't say anything, but his identity can be confirmed. He is indeed the butler of the Duke of Buckingham, and he follows the normal rules.

The person who resigned through formalities was just because of his background as the Duke of Buckingham, so no one was willing to hire him. When Nelson and I found him, his family was already very poor."

Hearing what Jason said, Leo was sure that it was not easy for Sanges to leave the Duke of Buckingham's house. It was just that for some reason, the Duke of Buckingham was unwilling to take any action against him. He just used his influence to force other nobles not to recruit him.

A person who has been a housekeeper all his life would have difficulty finding other ways to make a living, so he would be in trouble. If Jason and Nelson had not appeared, Sanjes would probably have fallen into poverty and eventually died in a corner of the city.

"If you don't want to hire him, let him be my butler. I just lack people there." Jason is different from before. He also knows some ways of observing words and expressions, and can see what Leo is thinking, so

Said very simply.

"No need." Leo shook his head and said: "Since he has been doing it for so long and there are no problems, then there is no need to change people. If you change people, you may not be able to find the right one. On the contrary, it will be more convenient."

trouble."

At this time, Sanges came in from outside with two cups of black tea and some refreshments, placed the refreshments on the table, then stood aside and said: "Sir, since you are back, the rooms in the house must be activated.

I can't take care of it with my own strength, so I need to hire a cook, three maids, and two servants. When you travel, you also need a carriage and a groom..."

Sanges reported some work details carefully, and did not show any unusual expression because of Leo's civilian background.

"Let everything be handled according to your proposal." Since he has chosen to hire Sanges, Leo will trust Sanges' ability and will not interfere in these matters randomly, so after Sanges finished speaking, he nodded,

said.

"There's another thing I still want to tell you, sir." After getting Leo's approval, Sanges did not turn around and leave, but continued: "Although I left the Duke of Buckingham's Palace through normal methods, and I also received the right to leave.

I have the consent of the Duke of Buckingham himself, but the process of my leaving the Duke of Buckingham's Palace is not very pleasant. If you continue to hire me, you may cause some unnecessary trouble."

After hearing what Sanjes said, Jason's expression became a little weird. After all, he just said that there was nothing wrong with Sanjes, but now Sanjes took the initiative to say that there would be some trouble. This kind of slap in the face made Jason

Suddenly I felt like I was being cheated, and an angry look appeared on my face.

When Jason was about to question Sanges, Leo reached out to stop him, then looked at Sanges with interest and asked, "What trouble will I get into if I continue to hire you?"

Sanjes explained: "The Duke of Buckingham may not care about me, an old man who left the Duke's Palace, but those who like to look at the Duke of Buckingham's eyes will think a lot, and may treat the people who hire me in order to please the Duke of Buckingham.

Do some bad things, such as forcing tenants of office buildings and shops to cancel their leases, cutting off your source of income, sir, etc."

Leo couldn't help but smile disdainfully. If it was really just these small tricks, Leo really wasn't worried at all. After all, the money he had was enough for him to live a luxurious life for more than a hundred years. Those so-called industries

It doesn't matter whether you have income or not.

Leo suppressed his smile, and then asked: "Why? Nothing will happen until I come back?"

"Because it is not Mr. Matthews and Mr. Jason who hired me, but you, Mr. Leo Dodd." Sanges said calmly: "And Mr. Matthews and Ms. Catherine both have special status backgrounds.

Those people will not want to offend them. As for Mr. Jason, he is not the main employer, so he will not be harassed by those people."

Leo was silent for a moment. During this time, Sanjes showed a slightly nervous look on his face.

Although Sanjes looks like he doesn't care whether Leo hires him or not, in fact it's the complete opposite. He has suffered enough, and his family was living a very bad life at the beginning, so he was separated from his current stable life.

, he was unwilling to return to the life in the slums, but his work ethics forced him to explain his situation to his employer, even if he would lose his stable job.

Leo suddenly asked: "Can you tell me why you left the Duke of Buckingham's Palace?"

Sanges was stunned. He hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't say anything about my former employer, and the same goes for you."

Leo nodded and said, "Well, I hope that if I fire you one day, you won't tell your new employer about me."

Sanges was stunned for a moment, with a little smile on his face, and asked happily: "You mean you will continue to hire me?"

"Yes, I will continue to hire you until I think you are a trouble." Leo did not say anything, and set a precondition.

"Thank you, sir." After saying that, Sanges saluted Leo, then returned to normal, turned around and left the room.

"You still want to hire his mother?" Jason asked with concern.

"Nothing." Leo responded casually, then deliberately changed the subject and asked, "Where is Dr. Nelson? Is he not in the city?"

Jason shook his head and said, "No, the couple went to the Kingdom Council with Ms. Anne two days ago."

"For the Kingdom Medical College?" Leo asked.

"Have you heard about it too?" Jason was stunned, and then introduced in detail: "Congress is not planning to re-establish a Royal Medical College, but is preparing to expand the Medical Research Association in the Royal College and add some members to serve as

Some medical schools can only..."

Jason's explanation did not go beyond Leo's expectation, and he asked again: "Now that a decision has been made, what use can Nelson and the others do if they go to Congress again?"

Jason explained: "I don't know the specifics. I just know that Ms. Anne received a letter and then found Nelson to say that things might have turned around. They rushed to the capital overnight."

Leo did not continue to ask any more questions, but changed the topic and chatted with Jason about other things. Then Jason got up and left, and before leaving, he asked Leo to have a good rest and take him to the city in the evening.

Come, have some fun.

After Jason left, Leo became familiar with this apartment building again. This apartment building would be his home for a long time in the future, which gave him an inexplicable feeling.

After all, in the Earth Federation, biochemical people could not purchase any property. They had fixed rest houses. These rest houses were more like maintenance workshops and did not feel like home at all, so home was just a word for Leo.

, a concept of nothingness.

Now that he was in this apartment building, thinking that this would be his home from now on, Leo couldn't help but feel an inexplicable peace of mind in his heart, and even his body relaxed. This was something he had never felt before.

Although this state will have some impact on various reactions, Leo does not dislike this relaxed state, and instead quickly adapts to it.

After that, Leo found Sanges. Under Sanges's leadership, he browsed every room, and through the ability of the spiritual network, he found several hidden compartments and secrets that even Sanges didn't know about.

safes, and some cash, valuables and expired documents were also found in those safes.

After Leo put these things away, he began to consider the renovation plan for each room. Whether he was making wizard potions, making mechanical mechanisms, or practicing witchcraft, he needed a separate room, and he needed to follow different rules.

Modify the function.

While browsing the room, Leo quickly sorted out several suitable plans in his mind, and selected one from them. He quickly drew a sketch and renderings on the paper that Sanges found.

Then give it to Sanges along with a part of the cost and ask him to find someone to transform it.

After that, Leo freshened up and put on a suit chosen by Sanges. The suit he wore before was too exotic and not suitable for wearing in the Kingdom of England. The suit he chose now is the most popular one in the Kingdom of England.

A half-windbreaker suit, a top hat and a cane.

Because it was ready-to-wear, it was a bit tight on Leo. Sanjes said he would find a suitable tailor and bootmaker in the afternoon to make several sets of clothes specially made for Leo.

After changing his clothes, Leo returned to the study room on the first floor.

This study is located on the inside of the apartment building. It is two stories high. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows form a wall. Outside is a small garden. When you are free, you can directly open the small door next to the window and take a walk or have afternoon tea in the small garden.

.

The study room is very particular in its construction. The bookshelf as high as the ceiling is close to the wall. The bookshelf is filled with books. A movable wooden ladder is set up next to the bookshelf for the convenience of taking books.

The books on the bookshelf are all ordinary publications. Judging from the traces of reading the books, it is obvious that the previous owner of the house bought these books mainly to enhance the appearance and make himself look knowledgeable. If someone did not clean them frequently,

Perhaps these books are now covered with dust.

Although books are the most common publications that anyone can buy with money, these publications are not useless to Leo. In fact, these publications are very complete, ranging from the history of various countries to the three continents.

Geography, from some people's livelihood matters to the latest science and technology weekly, in short, all kinds of books can be found here, just like a small library.

Although Leo learned a lot of mysterious knowledge from old Rembrandt that could not be learned elsewhere, he still did not know enough about the world of Velen. Most of them could only rely on Leo's memory from the past, so now in this study

The books can just fill in the gaps in his knowledge, allowing him to have a more detailed and complete understanding of the world, even if this understanding is only superficial.

"General History of Velen? Let's start with this one!" Leo glanced at the bookshelf, and finally stopped at a tome that was almost as thick as the Complete Works of Medicine. He pulled it out and walked to the desk.

Spread it out on the table and look at it carefully.

In the following days, Jason didn't seem to think about running for the manager of the freight terminal at all. He led Leo to visit various urban areas in Port Sète from morning to night, from the dock area to the garden area, and even

Even in the factory area, through some connections, we can go on tours inside some private factories.

The past few days of traveling were not fruitless. At least Leo found a few places worth investing in. He invested in some factories with potential but insufficient funds, and became one of the shareholders of the factory. With these investments, he gradually entered the world.

In the eyes of some powerful people in Port of Set, after all, not everyone can casually take out tens of thousands of funds from their pockets for investment. They all thought that Leo was some invisible wealthy businessman.

However, when the information about Leo was soon delivered to their office desk, they were all surprised, because in their information records, Leo was just an ordinary soldier, a comrade with Jason and Nelson, and now he was named
