Chapter 443 Roosevelt's Doubt
"Is he a student of Master Rembrandt?" Diffie Roosevelt was very surprised, because after he obtained the notebook, the first two people he thought could help him decipher the words in the notebook were his teacher Roland.
Sir, the other one is old man Rembrandt.
At that time, he sent someone to invite the old man Rembrandt, but unfortunately the old man Rembrandt had already gone to the Moissanite continent for archaeology, which made his hope come to nothing. So much so that now the work of deciphering the notes has reached a bottleneck period, and he also thinks that it is possible
It had something to do with not inviting old Rembrandt, so this time he planned to go to the Moissan continent in person to see if he could invite old Rembrandt to help decipher the text.
Now a student of Old Rembrandt actually came here. The timing was so critical that he couldn't help but have some suspicions. The first thing he thought about was other people who were also interested in this notebook.
It is not a secret that he has a notebook of Earl Drake in his hand. In fact, many people competed with him for this notebook at that time, but in the end they withdrew from the competition because they did not have enough cash on them. In his opinion,
Those who quit must be unwilling and want to seize this notebook from his hands.
Although it is still unclear what content is recorded in this notebook filled with strange words, Diffie Roosevelt knows very well what kind of person Earl Drake is who wrote this notebook. That is a mysterious person.
Tower wizards, only those who have truly come into contact with the wizard community understand what kind of existence tower wizards are. In the eyes of wizards, tower wizards are as powerful and mysterious as gods in the eyes of believers.
In fact, no one is sure whether Earl Drake is really dead now, because grave robbers have visited Earl Drake's cemetery in the past. Except for some unlucky ones who fell into the cemetery trap and died inside, or
Some clever thieves got out safely and brought out some valuables. These tomb robbers claimed that Earl Drake's coffin was empty and there was no body inside.
To ordinary people, this situation is easy to explain. Earl Drake's body should have been stolen by his enemies. After all, there were countless enemy navy and pirates who died at the hands of Earl Drake, and one or two would always slip through the net.
Fish. These fish that slipped through the net were unable to take revenge when Earl Drake was alive. They could only steal Earl Drake's body after his death to vent their anger.
But people like Diffie Roosevelt who know the true identity of Earl Drake know one thing clearly, that is, the Earl Drake's cemetery that the world knows now is absolutely impossible to be real, because of the mechanisms arranged in the entire cemetery.
They were all mechanical mechanisms and had nothing to do with witchcraft. Otherwise, the tomb robbers would never have come out alive, so they felt that Earl Drake was not actually dead, but that his death was just a disguise.
It is precisely because of the awe of Earl Drake that even if someone covets the relics left by Earl Drake, no one dares to use force to snatch them away. Of course, if the descendants of Earl Drake take the initiative to steal the relics left by Earl Drake,
There is no problem in selling Earl Lake's relics.
Therefore, over the past many years, those who coveted Earl Drake's relics have tried every means to guide Earl Drake's descendants to spend money lavishly. In the end, Earl Drake's mansion, whose wealth was comparable to that of Buckingham, became
An empty shell, the descendants of Earl Drake had to sell the relics of their ancestors in order to maintain their decent aristocratic life. The notebook that fell into the hands of Diffie Roosevelt was one of them.
Just a year ago, descendants of Earl Drake took out five of Earl Drake's relics at once and sent them to the Royal Auction. Diffie Roosevelt was actually planning to buy an Earl of Drake.
Carry the ring.
As a wizard apprentice, he could easily discover that the ring was actually a magical artifact. But he was not the only one who knew this. Among the hidden buyers, there were many who had the power and background to compete with the Roosevelt family.
Comparable to each other, and still prepared, in the end the ring was not successfully photographed.
Naturally, the notebook written with mysterious characters became his second concern. Originally, he was going to buy the notebook at a low price because after the incident of Drake's prank, he was worried about Drake.
There are far fewer people interested in taking notes, so the price cannot be raised.
The so-called Drake prank is actually related to a previously sold Drake notebook written in a different ancient language. The descendants of Earl Drake once sold a notebook of Earl Drake, which was also written in
It was written in a very ancient language. After the person who bought the notebook took it home and found someone to translate it, he discovered that the notebook was actually a fantasy novel written by Earl Drake when he was bored on the ship. It was worthless at all.
.
In the eyes of many people, this notebook, which is also written in an unknown ancient language, is probably the same as the previous notebooks. It is also something written by Earl Drake when he was bored. Therefore, most people think that this notebook was sold at the auction.
Not many people are interested.
However, what Diffie Roosevelt did not expect was that when the auction began, many people still showed a strong interest in the notebook and participated in the auction. In the end, Diffie Roosevelt had to pay more than expected.
I bought this notebook for three times the price.
At first, Diffie Roosevelt was a little uneasy about the notebook he bought, because he was also a linguist himself, but he could not understand the language in the notebook at all, which made him suspect that the notebook was something else.
It was a prank written by Earl Drake, and he even hesitated to ask Sir Roland to decipher the language of this notebook.
But some things that happened later made him sure that this notebook was not simple. The first thing was that several noble nobles of high status took the initiative to contact him, hoping to buy the notebook from him. The price was the same as his day.
It was more than five times the price paid at the auction, and the second thing was that some of the main houses of the Roosevelt family in various places were invaded, and these houses were all places where he had stayed.
It was precisely because of these things that he realized that this notebook might be more complicated than he expected, so he specially invited Sir Roland to form a team to decipher the notebook.
It's just that the deciphering work has been difficult from the beginning. The text above is not any known text in the Velen world now, but a completely new type of text, so there is no way to find ideas for interpretation from the root language.
When the matter reached a bottleneck, the previous nobles contacted him again, and this time the price offered was ten times the previous price. They also hinted to him during the conversation that the notes were useless in his hands, and he could not possibly know what was in the notes.
What are the words in the text, so he suspected that Sir Roland's team had the eyes and ears arranged by these nobles, otherwise it would be impossible to interpret the progress of the notes so clearly.
This time Sir Roland came to Port Set for some peace and quiet, and he thought about asking Sir Roland to rebuild the team. Sir Roland also had this intention, and thought that replacing some people might have some good ideas.
But at this moment, Leo Dodd appeared in front of him out of nowhere. He seemed to have a very deep knowledge of ancient linguistics and was a very suitable new team member. No matter how you look at it, this coincidence makes people feel.
It's like it was arranged in advance.
At this time, he also thought that the place where Leo currently lives is the property of the royal family. The transfer process of this property is very strange, and one of the several nobles who contacted him this time represents the royal family, which made him unable to help but
Practice both.
Although Diffie Roosevelt's question sounded like he was confirming Leo's identity, both Leo and Sir Roland could vaguely sense Diffie Roosevelt's somewhat repulsive attitude, and neither of them knew why.
Diffie Roosevelt would have such an attitude.
"I can't be considered his student, I just studied with him for a short period of time." Although Leo felt the change in Diffie Roosevelt's attitude and vaguely speculated that there might be an obstacle, there was no change in his face.
Show no unusual emotions and answer truthfully.
"Sorry, if Mr. Leo is really a student of Master Rembrandt, then I will definitely be happy for you to join this team, but now you... What a pity!" Diffie Roosevelt very directly vetoed Sir Roland's invitation to Lei.
Leo's decision to join the team was not at all concerned about Sir Roland's face, but Sir Roland only frowned slightly and did not speak to defend Leo.
Faced with Diffie Roosevelt's direct attitude, Leo smiled and said: "I think you may have misunderstood. I just came here to meet Sir Roland. After all, I heard Rembrandt mention it many times.
Sir, I'm just a little curious. As for the team Sir Roland mentioned, I don't know what team it is, and I haven't thought about what team I want to join. After all, I have a lot of things to deal with, and I don't want to waste time.
On some boring stuff."
"Boring things?" Leo's words not only made Diffie Roosevelt feel a little unhappy, but also Sir Roland's eyes showed a little dissatisfaction. After all, he had spent nearly a year studying the boring thing Leo said.
Things, and what's worse is that these boring things have not yet come to fruition.
Diffie Roosevelt suppressed his displeasure with Leo, made his tone as calm as possible, and said: "Sorry, Sir Roland and I need to discuss some private matters. It is inconvenient for outsiders to be present. Please leave Mr. Leo outside.
The banquet is being held, I hope Mr. Leo can have a good time at the banquet."
Seeing Diffie Roosevelt starting to chase away the guests, Leo had no intention of staying any longer. He stood up, saluted Sir Roland, and then walked out of the room directly.
Although he walked out of the room, his mental network was still shrouded in the room, because he wanted to know why Diffie Roosevelt's attitude suddenly changed so much.
Just when Leo walked out of the room and closed the door, Sir Roland couldn't help but be confused and asked the answer to the question that Leo also wanted to know, and Diffie Roosevelt did not hide his concerns.
After hearing what Diffie Roosevelt said, Leo was also a little bit dumbfounded. He did not expect that the time he came here was so unlucky that he was eventually regarded as a spy for other nobles by Diffie Roosevelt.
After learning the truth, Leo couldn't help but become interested in Earl Drake's notebook that Diffie Roosevelt had, but he also hoped to get any useful information from Diffie Roosevelt. Since someone already knew
The value of that notebook, then of course the black market, which is the most well-informed, will also have similar information. He only needs to use money to buy the information, and there is no need to make any risky moves at all.
After returning to the garden of the mansion, Leo did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked around the garden, had some conversations with other people, and explained some factory owners who would be useful in the future, just like most of the people here.
Just like normal guests.
However, Leo could feel that there were many eyes around him staring at him at this time, and the source of those eyes were either the guards of the mansion or the servants traveling back and forth. It was obvious that Diffie Roosevelt was not worried about Leo, even if Leo
Ou had already left the house, but he was still worried about Leo doing anything unusual in the mansion.
Leo didn't care about these surveillance sights. He always behaved like a normal person. It wasn't until some people started to leave the banquet that he walked out of the Marquis Roosevelt Mansion under the gaze of many surveillance eyes and boarded the
took the carriage back to the apartment.
Things did not end because of Leo's departure. In the next few days, Leo could always find some people monitoring his apartment through the mental network. Obviously, these people should be Diffie Roosevelt.
The person he sent probably wanted to know from himself who was interested in the notes in his hand.
Unfortunately, these surveillance efforts had no results. Leo didn't go out at all in the past few days. He was always conducting research and practicing various witchcraft in the laboratory or study of the apartment.
After that, news came that Diffie Roosevelt had left Port Sète, and Sir Roland also went with him. It seemed that they were preparing to reorganize the team in a different place.
Although both Diffie Roosevelt and Sir Roland have left, Leo feels that this matter is not over yet and they should meet soon.
The reason why he is so confident is because when he met Sir Roland, he discovered that Sir Roland's health was not good. It will not be long before Sir Roland falls ill. By then, the research team that has lost its backbone will definitely have to find a new leader.
candidate, and this candidate is very likely to be Old Rembrandt. However, the things that Old Rembrandt has at hand are much more important than translating notes written by others for a nobleman, so Old Rembrandt is definitely unlikely to agree to become the candidate.
The leader of this team.
