Chapter 456 Uninvited guests

"Why did you come to me at this time? Didn't our deal end a long time ago?" Leo, who was interrupted from reading his notes, looked at the fat man in front of him with some dissatisfaction and said indifferently.

"Mr. Leo, although the old deal is over, can't we have a new deal?" The fat man looked at Leo with a smile and played with the gem cane in his hand. He was not intimidated by Leo at all and smiled.

Said: "What's more, I helped you not long ago. If I hadn't acted as guarantee, do you think those wolves in the Special Bureau could have let you go easily? You must know that although cousin Nelson and his wife are famous, they are not enough.

To influence the decision of the Special Bureau.”

The fat man who suddenly disturbed Leo in front of him was Sean Donald, who had a deal with Leo in the Nest City a few years ago. However, compared to his old and decadent spirit and appearance at that time, Xiao is now pale and fat.

Well, my whole person has become completely different.

After the British royal family recovered the Poseidon's Scepter, they relied on this scepter to have the ability to sail on the sea during typhoons. This enabled the British royal family to no longer rely on the parliamentary government for royal finances, and was able to reversely influence the parliamentary government and rebuild the government.

Gaining part of the rights that had been lost for many years expanded the influence of the royal family.

As the person who caused the changes in the royal family, Sean Donald was naturally favored by the British royal family. Sean was not only given a higher title, but also a fief. Even if the fief was just a small village, it was given to Sean Donald.

This kind of fiefdom has not happened for more than a hundred years, and this incident was also very sensational at the time.

In addition, Sean Donald also holds important positions in the palace and the parliamentary government respectively, serving as the liaison officer between Congress and the royal family. Although this position may sound like a low status, in fact this position holds real power, and regardless of the

It has great influence on the royal family and the parliamentary government.

The espionage case has been such a big deal recently, and as a liaison officer between Congress and the royal family, Sean should be very busy, but unexpectedly he suddenly appeared at Leo's place, apparently wanting to hire Leo for something.

Leo did not doubt Sean's words. He actually felt that the Special Bureau gave up monitoring him and did not even bring him to the Special Bureau for questioning. It should not be because of the Nelsons' guarantee. There must be other reasons, so Xiao

Well, what he said now only confirmed his suspicion.

"Thank you!" Leo thanked Sean calmly, and then asked directly: "What's the new deal?"

Although he doesn't have a good impression of Sean, Leo doesn't object to Sean. In fact, he quite likes doing deals with Sean. At least after the transaction is completed, Sean pays the remuneration readily and there will be no defaults.

Behavior.

"You know Earl Drake, right?" Sean felt Leo's dissatisfaction disappear, and stopped playing with the cane. The slight tension in his heart relaxed a little, and then asked Leo pretending to be mysterious.

.

Leo looked at Sean coldly and said, "I'm from England, do you think I know about the Pirate Earl?"

When Sean heard this, he smiled awkwardly, then straightened up and said: "Of course what I'm talking about cannot be those people outside who can casually tell more than a dozen versions of Drake's life. It's about Drake."

The unknown secret identity of Earl Drake." As he spoke, he moved closer and said, "You must not know that Earl Drake is actually a powerful wizard!"

Hearing Sean's words, Leo suddenly had the urge to slap the fat white man in front of him on the cheek, but he did not take action, but looked at him expressionlessly.

Sean can take on the position of liaison officer, so he naturally has the ability to observe people's emotions, otherwise he would not be able to survive in such a complicated environment at the top of the Kingdom of England, and his status and power are increasing day by day.

Therefore, he quickly saw the indifference and contempt in Leo's eyes, and even became a little impatient, and realized that he seemed to have said some nonsense.

He coughed twice to relieve his embarrassment and said, "I came to you this time to hire you to help find another artifact given to the royal family by Poseidon."

"Another Poseidon artifact?" Leo frowned and asked in confusion: "As far as I know, the only Poseidon artifact owned by the royal family seems to be the Poseidon Scepter. Where did another Poseidon artifact appear?

"

"There is indeed another Poseidon artifact, but not many people know about it. Not to mention you, even within the royal family, only three or four people know about it." Sean stood up proudly.

He held his chest high, as if it was a great honor to know this secret.

Leo ignored Sean's rebuke, but thought about Sean's words for a moment, and analyzed: "If I guessed correctly, this Poseidon artifact should have been lost a long time ago, right? Otherwise it would be impossible not to have it.

A little rumor has been passed down."

"Indeed!" Sean nodded and continued: "Before landing in the Kingdom of Yinge, the migration fleet led by the royal family encountered a huge storm at sea. Although through the power of the scepter, they were able to sail in the storm,

But some deep-sea monsters that came with the storm were beyond the fleet's ability to deal with. In order to protect the fleet, the royal family took another Poseidon artifact and made a deal with the deep-sea monsters, and thus safely came to the islands and established the kingdom.

.”

Leo frowned and fell into deep thought again. It wasn't that he didn't believe Sean's words, it was mainly that he didn't understand the monsters and sea gods in the sea at all, although the marks of the web weaver were full of various gods.

Knowledge, but what is strange is that there is only a lack of records of ocean gods, as if there are no gods in the ocean, which is completely opposite to the prosperity of sea god beliefs in ocean kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Inge and the Kingdom of Sigmar.

Therefore, now that he heard that the matter mentioned by Sean involved the ocean gods, he was used to having complete information for analysis, which made him unable to adapt for a while.

However, Leo quickly adjusted and continued to ask Sean: "How does this matter have anything to do with Earl Drake?"

Sean explained: "The royal family is not willing to lose the artifact, because the power of an incomplete Poseidon artifact will be greatly reduced, so the royal family has sent people to find another Poseidon artifact more than once in the past, hoping to make the Poseidon artifact complete.

Earl Drake is also one of the people entrusted with finding the artifact, and he is the only one who is closest to the artifact, and may even have obtained the artifact."

"Why does the royal family think that Earl Drake has obtained the Poseidon artifact?" Leo asked with some confusion.

"Because the lost Poseidon artifact appeared in that key naval battle, and helped the Kingdom Navy and Earl Drake reverse the situation, or ultimately win." Sean gave the answer, and then said: "And

If you look at the life of Earl Drake, you will find that since that naval battle, he has been almost unfavorable on the sea and has not encountered any danger. Except that he obtained the Poseidon's scepter and the Poseidon's favor, which can explain all this.

I can’t think of any other possibilities.”

Leo shook his head slightly and retorted: "You also said before that Earl Drake is a very powerful wizard. Can't he use his witchcraft to help him sail safely on the sea?"

Sean shook his head and revealed another secret: "Earl Drake was not the only wizard under the royal family back then. The royal family also had a more powerful wizard, and that powerful wizard could not affect the sea through witchcraft.

, let alone Earl Drake.”

"Does the Yingge royal family also control other wizards?" Leo showed a slightly surprised look.

"I only learned about this news in the past few years." Sean realized that he had let it slip. He hesitated for a moment and simply revealed more secrets to convince Leo and said, "I didn't know the reason back then. Is there any reason?

The young wizard left the Velen and Minsk continents and headed to the Moissan continent. As a transit point, the Kingdom of Yingge was the place where these wizards would inevitably stay. The Kingdom of Yinge also tried its best to win over some wizards, including Earl Drake.

It’s one of them.”

When Leo heard this, he immediately thought of the tower disappearing, so he asked, "Do you know the final whereabouts of those wizards?"

"I don't know about this, I just know that the last place they arrived was in the wasteland." Sean replied.

"Wasteland?" Leo frowned slightly, then changed the topic and said: "Since we already knew that the Poseidon artifact was in the hands of Earl Drake, and the royal family has the help of a powerful wizard, why not ask for the artifact back?

?”

Sean smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because the artifact is in the hands of Earl Drake that the royal family does not dare to act rashly, because as long as they have mastered that artifact, Earl Drake will be invincible at sea, even the member of the royal family

Wizards cannot pose a threat to Earl Drake."

Leo asked again: "I remember that Earl Drake has been living on the shore. Why..."

Sean said helplessly: "The wizard of the royal family had passed away at that time. In fact, the royal family had been waiting for the opportunity to retrieve the artifact. For example, after the death of Earl Drake, the royal family carefully searched the Earl's mansion, and even...

"

As he spoke, he stopped, with a little embarrassment showing on his face.

"There is a grave, right?" Leo took over Sean's words and said.

"After all, this matter is not very honorable. The royal family broke into the hero's grave to search for items after the death of the hero of the kingdom." Leo's blunt words made the embarrassment on Sean's face increase a bit, and he picked up the bag again.

He played with a gem cane to relieve the pressure in his heart, and continued: "The royal family did not find anything related to the Poseidon artifact, and the royal family did not find the body of Earl Drake, so the royal family believes that Earl Drake is not actually dead.

"

Leo asked: "You are coming to me now. Could it be that you discovered the whereabouts of Earl Drake and want to hire me to steal the Poseidon artifact?"

"No, in fact, the royal family was wrong from the beginning. Earl Drake was really dead back then, but his body and all his belongings were not placed in the cemetery as we know it now.

Place it in his real cemetery." As Sean spoke, he took out an old book from the leather bag at hand, placed it on the table, and said: "Mr. Leo, have you read this book?

?”

"Death Valley?" Leo looked down at the old publication, his eyes fell on the title of the publication, he shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't read it, is this book related to Earl Drake?

"

"Earl Drake's grave is in Death Valley." Sean said very formally: "I hope to hire Mr. Leo to go to Death Valley to find Earl Drake's grave and find out where it is hidden.

The Poseidon artifact inside."

"Are you so sure that the Poseidon artifact is in Earl Drake's grave?" Leo asked with some doubts: "What if there is no Poseidon artifact in Earl Drake's grave?"

Sean said with great certainty: "It's impossible, it must be possible, because the royal family has undoubted evidence, but this evidence is not suitable for disclosure."

Leo did not ask for evidence, but thought about it seriously and asked: "What benefits can I get?"

Sean thought for a moment and said, "As long as it's not beyond my ability, you can make whatever request you want."

"Just making a request?" Leo chuckled, and then said: "The wizard from the royal family should have left a lot of inheritance after his death! I want all the inheritance from that wizard."

"This..." Sean hesitated, and said with a slight embarrassment: "These things have always been kept by the royal family, I..."

"Needless to say!" Leo pointed to the door and said, "You can leave now. When you can get what I want, you can come to me again!"

Seeing Leo issuing an eviction order so directly, Sean didn't want to stay any longer. The main reason was because he had been so full of words at the beginning, but now that Leo had put forward the conditions, he couldn't do it, so he could continue the conversation.

It will only bring the matter to a deadlock. Although he has found more than one group of people to carry out this matter, but for some reason he is more willing to believe in Leo's ability. After all, it was Leo who found the Poseidon Scepter. He felt that maybe

Leo was also able to find another Poseidon artifact this time.

Sean didn't say anything else, he just stood up and left. But when leaving, he also played a little trick and didn't take back the book he took out just now, but still put it on Leo's table.

.

Regarding Sean's tricks, Leo saw it in his eyes and knew it very well. In fact, even if Sean didn't keep the book, he would ask the butler to buy the same book later, because he did care about Drake.

He became interested in the count's real tomb. Even without the reward from Sean, he would still visit it, but there was no need to hand over the things he found.

So after Sean left, Leo stopped studying Sir Roland's notebook, and instead picked up the Death Valley and looked at it carefully.

Although the book was very thick, Leo flipped through it very quickly. It took less than an hour for Leo to memorize the entire book. However, after memorizing this book, Leo's face changed.
Chapter completed!
