Seeing the document handed over by the Duke of Buckingham, the head of the special department couldn't help but froze. His face became slightly serious. He took the document with very cautious hands, then opened it and read it carefully.

After flipping through a few pages, his face was full of surprise. If the Duke of Buckingham had not personally handed this document to him, he would even think that this document was complete nonsense.

Although he is an ordinary person, being able to become the director of a special department more or less knows that this world is not ordinary. In the normal world, there is a mysterious world where various mythical creatures exist, and the people in that world are

Extraordinary human beings with powers beyond common sense.

In the past, during several missions assigned by the Duke of Buckingham, he had cooperated with several such extraordinary humans. Although he did not visit the scene in person, he was able to see countless incredible things and stories from the information reported by his subordinates.

Incredible creatures, such as a person who can easily destroy a house, or a person who suddenly turns into a giant wolf, etc.

Although he was very curious about things in that world, he did not want to have too much contact with that world, because the dangers in that world far exceeded his ability. He still remembered that in order to cooperate with those few missions, his men died.

He recruited more than thirty skilled players, leaving him with no one available for a long time.

You must know that the more than 30 masters are all experienced warriors, and each of them has completed at least five dangerous missions. However, from the intelligence point of view, these masters were only accidentally involved in the edge of the battle.

Then he was torn into pieces like a scarecrow, without even the strength to resist.

However, now he saw in the document in his hand another extraordinary human being who belonged to that mysterious world, and this human being was considered by him to be an ordinary person just a moment ago.

"Is all this true?" After the director of the special department carefully read the document, he respectfully put the document back on the table, and then said with some disbelief: "From the information in my hand, he has always been

There’s nothing special about it?”

The Duke of Buckingham did not blame his subordinates for questioning. In fact, he preferred his subordinates to question some of his opinions, so that he could look at his ideas from another perspective and find out the loopholes in his ideas, so he explained patiently.

: "Most of the information in your hand is his intelligence in the Kingdom of England, and there is very little information after he joined the army. He should have gained some power due to some kind of mutation in the war that year, and also entered the

In that world." As he spoke, he paused again and said: "He also found the royal Poseidon's Scepter, so the royal properties in Port Set should be the reward for finding the Poseidon's Scepter."

"Poseidon's Scepter?" The supervisor was stunned for a moment. As an Englishman, how could he not have heard of Poseidon's Scepter?

According to ancient royal legends, the royal family relied on Poseidon's scepter to control this sea area, and finally established a foothold in this archipelago far away from the Velen continent and developed into the current maritime overlord.

However, in the hearts of the British people, the Poseidon Scepter is the same as the royal family's self-proclaimed identity as the son of Poseidon. They are both regarded as bragging rights of the British royal family, in order to elevate their status in order to face their former suzerain, the French Empire.

, you can not fall behind in terms of momentum and psychology.

But now the Duke of Buckingham's words showed that the Poseidon's Scepter was real, which made him think of the legendary power of the Poseidon's Scepter and the miraculous performance of the royal fleet during the typhoon period.

The supervisor couldn't help showing a little worry and asked: "Your Highness, the royal family really has mastered the Poseidon Scepter, then our fleet..."

Duke Buckingham shook his head and said with a relaxed look: "It doesn't matter. Although the Poseidon Scepter is still the Poseidon Scepter, the royal family is not the royal family it used to be. They cannot exert the full power of the Poseidon Scepter and can only rely on

The power of the scepter is just stealing food during the typhoon period, and it will not have any impact on our fleet." After that, he was reluctant to say more on this topic, so he turned back to Leo's question and asked:

"You have seen the document just now, tell me what you think."

The head of the special department thought for a moment and said seriously: "It's best not to become an enemy. Once you become an enemy, you must do your best to deal with him."

"Yes! You have the same idea as me." Duke Buckingham nodded, but changed the topic and said: "Don't contact him for the time being, and don't send people to Port Sète. In addition, you can personally warn those people below not to do anything.

It's a small move, I don't want to get into big trouble because of their cleverness."

"Yes, I know how to do it." The supervisor nodded.

After giving the instructions, the Duke of Buckingham waved him to leave. After the supervisor left the room, on the sofa on one side of the room, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air with a wave of light.

I saw that this man was very young, probably only in his twenties, with curly red hair and a finely trimmed mustache. He was very handsome, and he was dressed in the most popular gentleman's attire of a short windbreaker in the Kingdom of England.

"Are you really willing to give up? You must know that Leo Dodd is the only survivor on the Queen Mary. He may know the whereabouts of that thing." The young man sat on the sofa very casually and asked the Duke of Buckingham.

road.

Duke Buckingham lowered his head to deal with the documents in his hands, and asked without raising his head: "Have you read the documents, do you think you can take down this Leo Dodd with your strength?"

"Of course it's impossible." The young man gave the answer without thinking, and said: "According to the information displayed in the data, his strength is at least equivalent to that of a senior person. I am not much stronger than him. Moreover,

The information in the file was only half a year ago. Judging from Leo Dodd's experience, his strength has grown by leaps and bounds. After almost disappearing for a period of time, when he reappears, his strength will be completely different from before. This time he

Since the Queen Mary has been around for more than half a year and appears again, her strength must have improved a lot, and I don't have the slightest confidence that I can win him."

The Duke of Buckingham quickly browsed a document, signed his name at the end, and put the document in the box next to him. He gave the young man a cold look and said, "In this case, why do you have to ask me whether

Are you willing to give up?"

"Actually, you can spread the word that he is the only survivor of the Queen Mary, and I believe there will be many people..." the young man said with a smile.

"But what's in it for me?" Duke Buckingham interrupted coldly before the other party could finish speaking.

The young man was immediately confused by the question. Although his approach could indeed attract many people to provoke Leo, this matter would not bring any benefits to the Duke of Buckingham in any case. On the contrary, it would be caused by the arrival of a large number of outsiders.

Causing unnecessary trouble to the security of the Kingdom of England.

"Then what do you think we should do? We can't just let it go, right?" the young man said angrily.

"Why should I deal with this Leo Dodd? Is he our enemy? No, he is not, he just hired my former butler, and my butler will never reveal any secrets he knows.

." Duke Buckingham looked at the other party calmly and said: "Since he is not an enemy, then why should I always think about dealing with him, why don't I want to become a partner with him? After all, as a student of Rembrandt, he can

Both his status and strength are enough to make friends with people like us."

As he spoke, he threw a document in his hand to the young man.

The young man took the document skillfully, looked through it quickly, frowned and said, "Are you planning to invest in the Shell Machinery Factory in Port Sète? You must know that it is a money-loser and it also owes a lot of foreign debt.

"

"The situation is different now." The Duke of Buckingham said in a deep voice: "My people discovered that Leo Dodd invested in the shares of this factory that was about to go bankrupt yesterday, occupying one-third of all the shares. After that, he took a

I gave a copy of the drawings to the machinery factory, and asked the machinery factory to manufacture some very practical gadgets. According to my estimation, the Shell Machinery Factory will soon overcome the difficulties and will be better than before, so investing now is the best time.

The timing is right, and by the way, I can also get in touch with this Leo Dodd."

Listening to Duke Buckingham's narration, the young man was suddenly stunned. He seemed to have thought of the meaning behind Duke Buckingham's words, and said in surprise: "Are you planning to meet that Leo Dodd in person?"

No wonder the young man was so surprised, because the man sitting in front of him had left this room only a handful of times in the past ten years. Usually it was other people who came here to see him, and he left the room to meet virtually no one in person.

With one exception, they are all the highest-status people in each country, but now he said that he wanted to leave here and go see a person in person

A civilian, this is really beyond the young man's expectations, even if this civilian has extraordinary power.

"Yes, I do intend to meet him in person." Duke Buckingham admitted the young man's guess.

The relationship between the young man and the Duke of Buckingham was unusual, and he spoke casually, so he said a little unabashedly: "That guy can't be the illegitimate son of the previous generation Duke Buckingham, your half-brother, right?"

The Duke of Buckingham glared at the young man with a cold face, then pulled out a document from the pile of documents, threw it over, and said: "I hope you can complete this task as easily as you do now."

The young man took the document and opened the first page. His face became a little ugly, and he said with an angry expression: "Is this a public revenge?"

"I just give the right tasks to the right people." As the Duke of Buckingham spoke, he took out a few more documents from the pile of documents, threw them on the table, and said: "If you feel that you can't complete the task, you can

Choose one of these mission files."

"Forget it, I think this is good." The young man shook his head and rejected the proposal without thinking. Then he didn't seem to want to stay here any longer. His whole body instantly shrank and transformed into a silver kingfisher, grabbing hold of it under his feet.

The large document, which was completely out of proportion to his body shape, quickly flew up, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the air.

After the young man left, Duke Buckingham leaned on the chair and rubbed his eyes, then closed his eyes slightly for a rest. Suddenly he sat up again, reached out and twisted the lamp on the table, and then inserted a key into the lamp to reveal

of a keyhole.

Immediately afterwards, I heard a burst of mechanical sounds of gears running from below. With a slight vibration, Duke Buckingham's desk slowly sank into the ground. A raised floor seamlessly filled the exposed hole, making the inside of the study

There is no difference from before except that there is one desk missing.

The floor platform holding the desk sank quickly, and soon reached the bottom. Then the desk turned slightly in one direction, driven by gears and chains, and entered a secret room with the iron door just opened, and stopped at the end of the secret room.

Right in the center.

I saw that there were a large number of honeycomb-like holes on the wall of this secret room. There were some scrolls placed in each hole. Some were placed as few as one, or even a thin-looking paper roll, but some were placed

Many, even dozens.

In the secret room, the most eye-catching thing is not the documents around it, but the human-faced spider at the top of the secret room.

This spider was so big that it almost completely covered the entire roof of the secret room. It also looked very ferocious in appearance. After the Duke of Buckingham entered the secret room, the spider woke up from its sleep and used more than a dozen pairs of eyes.

It glared at Duke Buckingham fiercely, as if it wanted to eat Duke Buckingham alive, but it never made any attack, as if Duke Buckingham had some object or power that could restrain him, so its eyes

Zhong also revealed a hint of fear.

The Duke of Buckingham ignored the big spider's reaction. He just looked at the surrounding hives and then reported a few numbers.

After hearing these numbers, the spider immediately climbed to the hive bookshelf corresponding to the numbers, took out all the scrolls inside, and then hung them upside down with spider silk and placed them neatly on the desk in front of Duke Buckingham.

Without exception, these selected scrolls are all made of gold and gemstones. From the superficial value alone, it is enough to judge that these scrolls are many times more valuable than other document scrolls on the hive bookshelf.

Seeing these gold and gem scrolls, the look on Duke Buckingham's face became extremely serious. Then he took a few deep breaths, calmed down, sat at the desk, picked up one of the gold and gem scrolls, opened it, and looked at it carefully.

Got up.

If Leo saw the words on these golden gem scrolls here, he would definitely be extremely surprised, because the words on them are the kind of special words he saw in the King's City, the place where everything ends, and they belong to the Titans and the

The writing of other civilizations after the union is different from all the languages ​​​​of Velen, but now this kind of writing appears in the secret room of the highest and most prominent dignitary in the Kingdom of England, which is really surprising.

Although the scroll was large, the content of the scroll was not very large. Duke Buckingham finished reading it quickly. After reading it, he sat on a chair and said to himself with a puzzled look on his face: "What is so special about him?"
