Although Leo only met and talked to Sir Roland once, Sir Roland left a good impression on him, and Sir Roland's notes are with him. He may have been involved in this matter, so Roland

He would definitely investigate the cause of Jazz's death.

However, he did not plan to go to the Moissan continent immediately, because the newspaper mentioned that Sir Roland's body would be returned to his hometown in the Kingdom of England for burial according to his will. At that time, he could go and check on Sir Roland's body.

Find out the cause of his death and wait until you arrive in Moissanite Continent later to conduct a formal investigation.

The next day, Leo, who had nothing to do, planned to go to the Larson Manor to take a look at the Larson family's book collection.

In fact, he had already planned to go to the Larson Manor. However, after the banquet at the Roosevelt family mansion that day, Leon Larson suddenly had something to go abroad, which prevented him from making the trip as planned.

However, Leon Larson came back from abroad in a few days, and he also sent a letter to Leo in a serious manner, apologizing to Leo for his sudden departure, and inviting Leo to Larson again.

manor.

Although Leo did not see the current Leon Larson in person, he could tell from the words in Leon Larson's letter that Leon Larson seemed to be in a very good mood now, and his mentality was very relaxed. Obviously

Something must have happened to Leon Larsson while he was abroad, so his mood and mentality changed like this.

Leo did not immediately go to Larson Manor the next day as the letter said, but moved the time later and sent someone to find out information about Leon Larson.

The information obtained yesterday was sent to Leo. Leo discovered that the reason why Leon Larson was so happy and relaxed was simply because he no longer had any debts and did not need to worry about maintaining a decent person.

The money needed for the image.

The reason for this change is that he married a wealthy foreign woman. This wealthy woman was the widow of a nobleman in the Kingdom of Maris. She inherited a large amount of inheritance left by the nobleman. The amount of this inheritance was extremely huge, which could completely make Leon...

Larson lived like those great nobles.

Leo did not show too much surprise about Leon Larson's luck. After all, such things are not uncommon in the world of Velen. A down-and-out scholar gained the favor of a noble lady and then received a large amount of financial support. It was just like

Not many people like this noble lady married scholars.

Leon Larson's private life is not the focus of Leo's attention. What he focuses on is whether it will affect his browsing of the Larson family's book collection.

Taking the carriage prepared by the butler, Leo quickly drove to the Larson family's manor in the suburbs. Although he had not yet arrived at the Larson manor, some situations in the suburbs could tell that the Larson family's activities in Port Sète were

grand occasion.

There is a forest on the way to Larson Manor, which is called Larsen Forest.

Outside the forest there is an abandoned stone road in the forest. This is the only road leading to Larson Manor and was specially built by the Larson family.

Four carriages can walk side by side on the road, and there are a large number of stone carvings and exquisite windproof lamps on both sides of the road. Although they are now dilapidated, you can still see the luxurious appearance when they were intact.

Before driving into the manor, Leo could already feel the changes in the manor, because there were many carriages pulling building materials and carriages transporting daily necessities coming and going on the road. It was obvious that Larson Manor was undergoing a comprehensive renovation.

This made Leo feel that he had made a wrong choice when going to Larson Manor today.

After the carriage drove through a manor gate that was being rebuilt, it came to the front of the manor and stopped in front of the main entrance of the main house.

The servant at the door saw a luxurious carriage arriving and immediately ran into the house to notify Leon Larson.

After the coachman opened the door, Leo got out of the car and took a quick look at the situation of the manor.

Now several crumbling auxiliary buildings in Larson Manor have been demolished, and construction workers are now building new buildings. Although the main building has not been demolished yet, many damaged areas have been replaced with new building materials, and even

In some places, even the beams have been replaced, and workers are currently painting and making the repaired areas look older, so that the overall look of the house can still show a sense of history.

At this time, the energetic Leon Larson came out wearing a very high-end cashmere jacket. When he saw Leo, he immediately greeted him happily.

Although Leo and Leon Larson only talked once at the banquet, Leon Larson, who has an uncomplicated personality, has already regarded Leo as a good friend worthy of deep friendship. After all, in Leon Larson

When Sen was unlucky, Leo was the only one who could treat him as an equal and with respect. This kind of respect gained during difficult times was what touched Leon Larson the most.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Larson!" Looking at the owner of the mansion approaching, Leo greeted proactively: "I apologize for not being able to notify you in advance and for my unexpected visit!"

"Mr. Dodd, I am really honored by your visit," Leon Larson quickly walked up to Leo and responded to Leo sincerely, then looked around with regret.

, said: "It's a pity that now is really not a good time to receive guests."

Leo shook the hand that Leon extended and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. As long as the Larson family's book collection is still there, it doesn't matter what the house looks like. Besides, you'd better call me Leo. There is no need between scholars."

It’s too formal.”

"Yes, the spirit of the Larson family lies in the collection of books, not in the house." Leon Larson nodded in agreement with Leo's words, and then said intimately: "You can also call me Leon! Please follow.

Come on, I can't wait to see those cute little guys."

"Don't I need to visit your wife?" Leo asked casually when Leon took him to the library excitedly.

Leon showed a slightly embarrassed look, smiled bitterly, and then said: "Sorry, my wife has been sick recently because she is not used to the rainy and humid weather in the kingdom. She is currently recuperating in the bedroom of the main house and is not suitable for walking out."

"I see, then I can only say hello to Madam the next time I come here." Leo smiled and said nothing more.

Seeing that Leo did not continue to ask questions, Leon couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly returned to normal and continued to lead Leo from the front.

Looking at Leon's back, Leo had an inexplicable smile on his face. It was obvious that the credibility of Leon's explanation of his wife's situation just now was almost zero, and the relationship between him and his wife did not seem to be as good as the outside rumors.

Leo didn't have much interest in knowing about Leon Larson's family problems. Since Leon didn't take the initiative to mention it, it would be too rude for him to ask rashly, so he could only choose to pretend to be deaf and mute and turn a blind eye.

Soon the two came to the Larson family's library. It has to be said that the Larson family's love for books is simply shocking. The material used in this building seems to be ordinary wood, but

If you look closely, you will find that these woods are extremely rare red hardwoods.

This kind of red hardwood only grows deep in the wilderness. Less than two hundred trees are cut down every year, and the value of each tree is enough to buy a private apartment in a port town like Sète, such as Leo's apartment.

It is only equivalent to four red hardwood trees.

The reason why this kind of wood is so expensive is not only because the wood pattern and color are very beautiful, but also because this kind of wood has the additional functions of being insect-proof, fire-proof and anti-corrosion.

Moreover, a medical school research report a few years ago found that organisms that stay in houses made of red hardwood for a long time have strong anti-aging and anti-disease effects. After this article came out, red hardwood, which was already very valuable, has

Hardwood has become so valuable that many adventure groups have even gone to the Moissan continent and gone deep into the wilderness, not to find treasures or rare creatures, but to find new red hardwood logging spots.

It is precisely because of the preciousness of red hardwood that most of this wood is taken over by royal families, big lords and wealthy people in various countries. This kind of wood is rarely available among the people.

However, the three-story building that Leo sees now is actually made of red hardwood. Based on this alone, its level of luxury is more than enough than that of the British royal family. If this small building were

If the news spreads that it was built with red hardwood trees, I am afraid that the Larson Manor will never have peace, and many desperadoes will be willing to take the risk.

It has to be said that fools in Lyon are lucky. This small building was built a long time ago. Due to the dust and repeated layers of wall paint on the outside, it is no longer possible to identify the wood used in the small building with the naked eye. If Leo had not

As for the spiritual network, it may be difficult to identify it.

Leon opened the door with the key around his neck, led Leo to the inside of the library, and then stood in the middle reading area like a king inspecting his territory, and like a child showing his to other children.

Like candy, he said with great pride: "Welcome to the Larson family's treasure house."

Leo walked to Leon and looked up at the rows of bookshelves on the floors reaching to the roof. The library may not look very big from the outside, but once inside, it feels very huge, and on the bookshelves,

The piles of books in the aisles give people a very intuitive sense of the depth of the Larson family.

"Can I read it?" Although Leo only glanced at it, he still keenly discovered that there were many unique ancient books that had become extinct outside, so he couldn't wait to ask Leon.

"Of course." Leon smiled and said, "You can read it as long as you want. The only requirement is not to take the book out."

"Okay." Leo stopped being polite and walked to a bookshelf next to him, directly pulled out an ancient book and read through it.

Leon didn't mind Leo's directness, but Leo's urgent mood made him feel proud, thinking that this was the greatest compliment to these family-collected books.

Maybe it was because he was influenced by Leo, or maybe because he felt a little embarrassed standing alone, so he just found a book and sat on the ground and read it.

Time passed little by little, and Leon was already addicted to books. He had not experienced this feeling of reading for a long time, and while Leon was addicted to the contents of the book, Leo had already memorized hundreds of books.

, and began to walk towards the unread books on the second floor.

However, when Leo reached the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the entrance of the library.

I saw that the door of the library was pushed open from the outside, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper came in, looked at Leo, then turned to look at Leon, walked to Leon's side, and said: "Master,

Dinner is ready. Madam asked you whether you would like to take the guests to the restaurant or have the food delivered here."

"Ah!" Only then did Leon realize the arrival of the butler, and he seemed to be extremely afraid of this butler. He instantly jumped up from the ground and took two steps back. Perhaps he felt that Leo was watching from the side, a little embarrassed, but he was still

He straightened his chest, pretending to be dignified and ordered to the housekeeper: "Tell Madam, we will eat in the library. If it is too late, I will rest in the library, let her rest first."

"Okay, sir." The butler nodded, turned around and walked out.

When the housekeeper left, Leon couldn't help but let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Then he felt that his movements were a bit too big. He turned to look at Leo and saw that Leo was holding a

After flipping through a book, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I sat on the floor and absentmindedly turned over the book in my hand.

However, Leon didn't know that Leo was reading a book on the surface, but in fact he was using his mental net to scan the butler's condition, because when the butler approached the library, Leo discovered that the butler was a

A famous family member, and also a hidden family member who has reached a deep mutation.

Just like a werewolf, there is no difference from a normal person in normal times, but once his family bloodline is stimulated, his body will also mutate, and the degree of mutation depends on the degree of stimulation of his bloodline.

Judging from the power fluctuations emanating from the butler, his bloodline stimulation has reached a very high level. Once mutated, it will be completely mutated, just like the fish-man encountered that day.

A family member with such a high level of bloodline stimulation is the housekeeper of a female aristocrat, so there is no doubt that the wealthy female aristocrat who married Lyon must not be an ordinary person.

At this time, Leo couldn't help but look at Leon Larson, wondering what special features Leon Larson had that would make such a powerful family member not hesitate to marry someone to get close to him, and he was even more confused about Leon Larson.
