A week after returning to Port Set, Leo could feel that the ears and eyes surrounding him had all disappeared, which made him suppress the idea in his mind that he was going to take some measures and wait for the follow-up development.

In fact, from the second day after he came back, he had already felt that there were a lot more spies around his apartment, and from the conversations and conflicts between the spies, he knew that these spies were all powerful people in Port Set, and some of them were just interested in Leo.

This cash-rich port city upstart was curious, and more so because of the hiring of Sanges. They were all considering whether to deal with Leo, and whether they would get the Duke of Buckingham after dealing with Leo.

approval.

Leo originally thought that these people would take action soon, but he also decided that as long as these people took action, he would fight back, and he would fight back in the most violent way to completely solve this matter.

But what he didn't expect was that those people never had any intention of taking action. They just placed various ears and eyes around Leo, and even blatantly sent out some clumsy monitors, as if they just wanted to let Leo know that someone was watching him.

Leo didn't like this feeling of being monitored. He thought he would find an opportunity to visit the homes of the controllers behind the eyes and ears one by one to resolve the matter completely, but these people took the initiative to retreat.

This situation reminded Leo of the Duke of Buckingham. It seemed that only the Duke of Buckingham could influence so many dignitaries in Port Set. This also made him feel that it wouldn't be long before he might see the Duke of Buckingham in the Kingdom of England.

The most powerful powerful man.

Nelson and Catherine returned two days ago. Before they came back, they had received a telegram from Jason and knew that Leo had returned to Port Sète, so they came to Leo's apartment as soon as possible after returning.

Meet Leo.

Compared with Jason, the relationship between Leo and Nelson is not that deep. They are just good friends. In addition, after so many years, the relationship between the two has become a lot colder, so the two did not appear too enthusiastic when they met.

, just chatting with each other about their experiences over the years.

Because he has served as a member of the city council these years, Nelson's speech and behavior have changed greatly from the past. He is no longer a simple doctor, but more like a politician. After learning that Leo still has a lot of money on hand,

Later, he invited Leo to join some of his business plans.

Leo didn't have many thoughts about Nelson's changes. In his opinion, people like Jason had changed after a few years, let alone Nelson, so he didn't feel any regrets.

Compared to Nelson, Katherine remained unchanged. She was still the same Dr. Katherine from Cage City. When chatting, she mostly talked about her vision for the development of the nursing school.

During the conversation with the Nelsons, Leo never heard anything about the Royal Medical College of the Kingdom of England from the two of them, but it was not difficult to tell from their relaxed expressions that things about the medical school should have been settled.

After that, the Nelsons visited Leo several times in the next two days. These times, Nelson mainly introduced his business plan and some plan information. They were all purely business matters. This business-like approach was in line with Leo's personality.

He also took the business plan seriously, helped Nielsen solve some loopholes in the plan, and invested part of it.

The investment in Nielsen's business plan is only one of the dozen investments he has made in the past week. Even after investing so much, he still has hundreds of thousands of cash on him. Even if those investments are lost, so much money can still be saved.

Support him to live a very luxurious life.

However, the dozen or so investments he made were all high-quality assets with great potential that he carefully selected, including fleets, medicines, industries, etc. The reason why he made these investments was not simple.

It is simply to make money, but more importantly, it is to facilitate him to obtain the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, materials needed to make mechanical tools, etc.

For example, his investment includes three of the latest pharmaceutical manufacturing factories. Behind these three factories are the support of the Medical College. It is just because the Medical College has handed over its power under the attack of the Kingdom of England, and the one who took over the Medical College

People didn't pay much attention to the three pharmaceutical manufacturing factories, so they put them up for sale.

Although driven by medical schools, the world of vinylon has begun to accept patent medicines, and is highly praised by civilians because of its low price. However, in the minds of the middle class and truly wealthy people who live relatively affluent lives, the kind of medicine that is sold by cheap bottles

The overflowing patent medicines are not trustworthy at all. They usually have their own private doctors and private clinics, and the medicines they need to treat diseases are prepared individually according to the individual's conditions.

It is precisely because of this mentality that no one paid attention to the three pharmaceutical manufacturing factories of the medical school for more than half a year after they were listed. In the end, Leo built a cheap one.

After Leo acquired these three pharmaceutical factories, he did not integrate them together. Instead, he allowed the original staff of the factories to continue working and make some pills that were intended for ordinary people. However, he also gave each factory's technical department

He provided a prescription that he had improved. These three prescriptions were anthelmintics, seasickness medicine and ordinary refreshing medicines.

It is very simple for Leo, who has a high level of alchemy, to improve these three medicines, and the medicines made from these three medicines are much better than the original medicines, and because the production process is reduced and the ingredients used are

There are also fewer medicinal materials, so the cost has been reduced a lot, and the price is low enough that even the poor in the slums can afford it.

So in less than two days since the factory started operating, these three pharmaceutical factories have occupied nearly 60% of the market share related to these three drugs in the Port of Set, and this share is still increasing, and with the passing of several years

With the number of merchant ships loaded with similar drugs at the port, I believe that the share of Class III drugs in other countries will increase.

However, the most important task of these three pharmaceutical factories is not to produce cheap commonly used drugs and occupy the drug market share of civilians, but to use the medicinal material purchase channels they have developed over the years to collect various materials needed for the wizard's alchemy for Leo.

.

In addition to these three pharmaceutical companies whose ownership is in his hands, there are also six or seven machinery factories in which he has shares. He also provided these machinery factories with some mechanical manufacturing drawings and parts manufacturing processes to enhance the strength of the factories and help them

Make some parts needed for mechanical mechanisms.

However, just as he expected, the energy efficiency of these mechanical parts made in the vinylon world is far from being comparable to those made in Hushang Town in the dream world. The power used to make mechanical mechanisms is much less, and can only be used with various

He used the rune magic circle, but its power was still astonishing, blowing a big hole in his steel-plated laboratory several times.

It has to be said that Sanges' work ability is very good. After Leo put forward the request for the laboratory, he found a suitable construction company the next day to renovate the apartment building, and with the supervision of money,

It only took three days to complete the renovation of the entire apartment. In addition to transforming the room above the study into a closed secret room dedicated to the study of witchcraft, three basements were also dug underground in the apartment, and according to Lei

Ou's request was inlaid with steel plates to serve as a workshop for alchemy and mechanical manufacturing.

In addition, Sanges also helped Leo buy some things that couldn't be bought in ordinary stores because of Leo's special requirements. For example, the set in Leo's hands now is very complete and professional, and is used by wizards for alchemy.

Pharmaceutical workbench and tools.

"Where did you buy this?" Looking at the workbench and tools in front of him, Leo looked at Sanges curiously.

He originally just wanted to ask Sanges to find construction workers to repair the steel plates in the laboratory. Unexpectedly, Sanges not only found workers, but also brought a set of wizard workbench and talismans that surprised him.

Text engraving tools.

This set of alchemy workbench and rune engraving tools are not antiques. They are newly made. The material itself is steel bone armor. There are also mechanical control devices to adjust the workbench, and the maker also carved his own on the workbench.

Trademark symbol, it seems that this kind of workbench is mass-produced.

After seeing this workbench and tools, Leo couldn't help but suspect that the time he left the world of Velen was not half a year, but decades, hundreds of years. The time was so long that the number was extremely rare, and the wizards who could only hide in the dark had begun to

Standing on the bright side, opening stores and building factories.

"Black market." Sanjes replied simply.

"Do you know where the black market is in Port Set?" Leo was stunned, but soon thought of Sanjes' past identity, and said in a question-and-answer manner: "Of course, of course you know where the black market is. After all, you

Being around the Duke of Buckingham, I must have seen a lot of magical people and things. No wonder when I asked you to find someone to renovate the house, you just asked me a little about my requirements and you were able to renovate the house so that it suits me.

It seems that you have had similar experiences before."

Sanges looked at Leo expressionlessly and said, "Sir, you don't have to test me. I won't tell you about His Highness the Duke."

"Haha!" Leo smiled awkwardly.

In fact, in the past few days, he had tried more than once to get some information about Duke Buckingham from Sanges through other methods. Originally, he was not interested in the details of Duke Buckingham, but when he learned about Bai Jin

When Duke Han was able to influence most of the powerful people in Port of Set so easily, his precautionary mentality made him always subconsciously want to collect some things about Duke Buckingham, so as to understand Duke Buckingham in order to avoid any confrontation in the future.

status, he is able to make correct judgments and decisions in a timely manner.

Although Sanges behaved very professionally and never mentioned anything about the Duke of Buckingham's Palace, under Leo's guidance, some of Sanges' behaviors still revealed many secrets about the Duke of Buckingham.

For example, Duke Buckingham also has extraordinary influence in Velen's underground world, and he probably has a powerful team composed of dependents and extraordinary humans in his hands. And Duke Buckingham himself is probably not an ordinary person.

He is likely to be a descendant of some gods, or he may be a powerful person with extraordinary power like a wizard.

The reason for reaching such a conclusion is that some clues can be seen in the information Leo has collected at this stage, but he will confirm that this is still due to a piece of information that Sanjies accidentally revealed.

"If you have nothing else to do, then I will go down and arrange the new servants and maids." Sanges didn't want to stay with Leo any longer, because he was worried that he would be under Leo's deliberate guidance again.

Revealing some things that should not be said, so he will use as few words as possible and will not say any unnecessary nonsense.

"Can you tell me the location of the black market?" Leo asked, and then added: "If this matter involves the Duke of Buckingham's secret, there is no need to tell it."

Sanjes was silent for a moment, as if he wanted to tell whether the location of the black market would reveal some information about the Duke of Buckingham. After repeated confirmation, he found that the location of the black market would not have any impact on the Duke of Buckingham, so

He quickly took out a paper and pen, wrote an address and the method of passing the entrance on the paper, handed it to Leo, and then turned around and left the basement.

Leo looked at the note in his hand, frowned and said to himself: "Garden cemetery? This is really an interesting place."

The early residents of Port Sète were the Mona people who were native to the Inge Islands. They were actually the descendants of escaped slaves from the French Empire a long time ago. After escaping to the Inge Islands, they gradually developed and formed tribes of various sizes, and created

It is a funeral ceremony that is completely different from that of the French Empire. No one remembers the original name of this ceremony. Later generations only remember the name given to this ceremony by a poet in the past. This name is the Garden Cemetery.

The Mona people believe that their loved ones will not disappear after death, but will remain in the form of souls next to their graves for a long time, so the Mona people simply transform their graveyards into gardens, and those with buried corpses

The tombs are placed in dug underground tombs, usually one tomb for each family, and special personnel are arranged to add fish oil needed for lighting in the tomb.

Usually the tomb will not be opened during the day, and no one will enter except for the tomb guards. But at night, people can enter the tomb to visit their relatives and talk to the souls of their relatives, because this kind of activity only occurs at night.

Moreover, those who enter the tomb will carry two oil lamps and appear in groups, so people who see this scene for the first time will think that they are performing some mysterious religious ceremony.

As the Inge royal family later landed on the islands and conquered the islands, the Mona people gradually integrated into the new Inge people who moved here from France. The same funeral ceremony of the garden cemetery was also integrated into the tombs of the Inge people.

among them, and has become a very important national custom.
