Although he already understood that the Prince of Wales was the tool used by White Deer to lure Leo to Flower Valley, Leo did not intend to let him go just like that. After all, he had already shown through his actions that he would cause trouble for the Prince of Wales, so as to show off his

Muscles, lest people think that he is afraid of the power of the Prince of Wales, there will be more follow-up troubles.

However, before Leo could find the Prince of Wales, the night after he came back from the Valley of Flowers, two uninvited guests came to the hotel where he was staying. One was the palace wizard Otto who Leo knew, and the other was a

A middle-aged man with an old appearance.

The reason for this contrast is mainly because although the man looks very old and looks much older than Otto, his eyes give Leo the feeling of a middle-aged man.

In addition to the contrast in age, Leo also found that this person had very obvious fluctuations in the power of the family members.

After such a long period of research, Leo has been able to determine the strength of each person from the subtle differences in life energy or power fluctuations in each person. As long as he collects enough energy fluctuation information over time, he can complete the database

information, then he will be able to clearly distinguish the origin of any kind of power, instead of being able to vaguely sense that this old middle-aged man is a very powerful family member like now. Perhaps it is also the reason why he is in Velen now.

The most powerful clan the world has ever seen.

In Leo's opinion, the power of this family is very powerful, because this family makes him feel pressure, which means that the other party can bring certain threats to his safety.

However, although the other party was powerful, Leo did not appreciate it. Instead, he turned to look at the old wizard, as if talking to an old friend, and said easily: "How did you find it?"

mine?"

"You made a lot of noise in the Valley of Flowers during the day." The old wizard didn't hide anything, he answered directly, and asked very curiously: "Did you discover anything?"

Hearing the words of the old wizard, Leo quickly understood that things full of strange phenomena such as Kevin Town, Blue Palace and Flower Valley must have been paid attention to by others, such as the royal family and the Special Bureau, and they must have arranged them here all year round.

Some items used for surveillance. There is no doubt that the appearance of the white deer during the day will definitely cause great fluctuations in the hexagrams around Kevin Town. It is difficult for others to not notice it.

With the capabilities of the Special Bureau and the royal family, Leo's whereabouts will definitely be discovered with a little investigation.

After thinking about this, Leo secretly felt a sense of vigilance in his heart, because according to his previous abilities, it would be impossible for people to find his whereabouts so easily. It can be seen that as his strength increases and the influence of environmental life,

His way of doing things and his code of conduct are different from before, and this difference is somewhat difficult to distinguish between good and bad.

Although Leo was thinking about his own affairs, he was still able to talk to the old wizard at one time and asked in reverse: "What have you discovered? How about we exchange each other's findings?"

Upon hearing Leo's suggestion, the old wizard immediately shook his head, showing an awkward smile, then took half a step back and stood next to the old middle-aged man.

"Let me introduce it to you!" The old wizard took the initiative to introduce: "This is Sir Frank Forson, the director of the Special Bureau. This is Mr. Leo Dodd I mentioned before."

"Hello!" Frank Forson didn't know whether it was because of his original personality or because of the influence of his family bloodline. His tone and expression looked cold.

"Hello." Since the other party seemed so cold, Leo naturally had no intention of being hot-tempered, so he responded simply, and then, as if ignoring Frank Forson, he turned to the old wizard and asked:

"Are you here about the Prince of Wales?"

"Yes."

"no!"

Two completely opposite answers came out of two people's mouths at the same time.

The two also realized this, looked at each other, and said almost at the same time: "You speak first."

After discovering that the other person spoke at the same time as themselves, the two made the same choice, which was to stop speaking and wait for the other person to say something first.

"Are you two here to make a joke?" Leo couldn't help laughing as he looked at the two of them. Then when the two were about to speak, he pointed at the old wizard and said, "You go ahead and say it!"

Seeing what Leo said, Frank Forson also swallowed what he was about to say and made a gesture of invitation to the old wizard next to him.

After confirming that Frank Forson would not speak, the old wizard followed the original plan and told the purpose of his visit, saying: "This time, on behalf of the royal family, I am here to explain the misunderstanding with the Prince of Wales to Mr. Leo."

"Just explaining the misunderstanding?" Leo looked at the old wizard coldly.

"Of course not," the old wizard shook his head and said, "There is still some reconciliation compensation."

"In that case, how are you going to compensate me?" Leo asked again.

Hearing Leo's question, the old wizard couldn't help but be stunned, because according to his estimation, he might need to spend a lot of words to persuade Leo not to take revenge on the Prince of Wales, but what he didn't expect was that he was the one who spoke.

Ou gave in, which made him wonder if there was something wrong with Leo.

Seeing that the old wizard had not spoken for a long time, Leo couldn't help but frowned and said, "What, is the settlement compensation offered by the royal family so small that I can't speak out?"

"Of course not." Seeing that Leo seemed to have a misunderstanding, the old wizard quickly explained: "Please believe that in order to resolve this misunderstanding, the conditions offered by the royal family will definitely satisfy you." As he spoke, he saw him

He took out three envelopes from his arms, placed them in front of Leo, and said, "These are the reconciliation conditions offered by the royal family. You can choose any one."

Leo saw that the royal family was so well prepared, and was curious about the terms of reconciliation offered by the royal family, so he casually took the envelope from the old wizard's hand and opened it and looked at each one.

Although he was mentally prepared, Leo was still surprised by the royal family's generosity.

The first envelope that was opened contained only a very elegant looking document. The document said Unlimited Permanent Library Card of the Third Library of the Royal Academy, with the signature and seal of the current King George VI on the back. The document below

The person's name is blank. As long as Leo fills in the name, the certificate will be effective immediately.

It has to be said that the settlement conditions offered by the royal family were carefully prepared for Leo's character. With the ability of the royal family, it can be easily investigated that Leo has an unparalleled passion for books, and the Third Library of the Royal Academy is so interested in him.

It is definitely a huge treasure for people.

Although the Third Library of the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of England is not the earliest library built by Velen, nor is it the largest library, it is the most famous library because it contains the largest collection of mysteries in the world. There are research books on the subject, and various disciplines derived from the study of occultism also put their research books in the library, making this place a holy place for Velen occult research.

The reason why the British royal family wants to build a nondescript library in the Royal Academy, which is famous for scientific discoveries and inventions, is entirely because the royal family who claims to be the descendant of Poseidon has always been extremely interested in mysticism and wants to study some things from it. A method that could help him improve the purity of his bloodline and obtain the true power of the Son of Poseidon. Unfortunately, the method has not been found. Various research materials related to mysticism have been piled up in the library layer by layer, which is why it has reached its current scale.

In fact, when Leo heard about the Third Library of the Royal Academy, he had already considered going to the library to check out various occult materials. However, he later learned that not just anyone could enter this library. Yes, if you want to get in, you not only need to get an academy degree, but you also need to apply to the royal family.

Because he saw these troubles, he could only temporarily give up the idea of ​​borrowing books, and try to sneak into the library and read them directly when he had time and opportunity.

But what he didn't expect was that after he changed his mind, the pass he wanted most appeared in front of him, which made him very entangled.

Compared to the conditions in the first envelope, the conditions in the remaining two envelopes seemed a bit arbitrary.

Inside an envelope is a cash check with a huge number. As long as Leo fills in his name and stamps it, he can get a large amount of money.

The content in the other envelope is even simpler, it is a real estate certificate, and it is not the real estate here, but the real estate of the royal family in Mozang Continent. The strange thing is that this real estate is not an ordinary apartment or building, but A castle.

In order to resist the attacks of various tribes in the Moissanite continent, the British royal family purchased a large number of slaves, and then used a large bounty as bait to drive the slaves to the plains on the border of America, California and Panier in a short period of time. , built more than a dozen castles, large and small.

Most of these castles were destroyed during the American and Panier War of Independence, and only a few survived. The Cardinal Castle, now owned by the British royal family, is the most famous one among them.

Cardinal Castle is famous because it is the largest castle in the Moissanite continent and even the world of Velen. The entire castle is composed of a main castle and three auxiliary castles. It is based on the Old Joshi Castle that Leo once visited. To compare the forts, it would take more than ten Old Joshu Forts to be accumulated to form a Cardinal Fort.

In addition to its huge area, Cardinal Castle also has some very mysterious legends. For example, it is said that there is a mysterious door hidden in Cardinal Castle. As long as you hold the door and guard it, and then open the door, this door can lead to the person who opens the door. places to go.

In addition to the most famous door legend, Leo is more interested in the fog that appears in Cardinal Castle. According to the legend, some fog will appear in Cardinal Castle from time to time, and anyone who walks into the fog will eventually... I won't come out again.

This mist legend made Leo couldn't help but think of the mist world outside Lake Town, and it seemed that there was no connection between the two.

In addition to the large sum of money, Leo was a little tempted by the other two options. For him, reconciliation was not unacceptable. If he could get a suitable settlement compensation, he wouldn't mind accompanying the royal family to perform a play, and these two

All choices are based on Leo's psychological bottom line.

After thinking about it for a while, Leo picked up the real estate certificate of Fort Cardinal, then picked up the pen and ink on the desk in the room, quickly wrote his name on the transfer letter, and then he asked very carefully:

"There won't be any problem if I take over the property, right?"

"No, the ownership of this property by the royal family has been fully negotiated with the American and Canadian government. Now there are servants of the royal family there responsible for daily maintenance. You only need to take it over." The old wizard saw Leo signing.

After writing down his name, a smile appeared on his face. Being able to solve this matter satisfactorily would also have many intangible benefits for his status in the eyes of the royal family, so he did not mind reminding Leo and said: "However, I suggest

You don't want to take over the castle directly by yourself, first send your steward to take over the castle, and then recruit enough servants and workers. After all, the castle is too big, and without enough manpower, it may be very difficult to maintain it."

Hearing this, Leo nodded and accepted the old wizard's kind reminder. Then he turned to Frank Fossen, who had been sitting quietly aside, and asked: "Where is your Excellency? Why are you looking for me?"

"

Through the conversation between Leo and the old wizard just now, Frank Forson also understood Leo's character to some extent, so he explained the purpose of his visit straightforwardly, saying: "I hope that Mr. Leo can become a long-term partner with our Special Bureau and continue to supply

The wizard's potion refined by your Excellency."

As soon as Frank Forson finished speaking, the old wizard couldn't wait to say: "The royal family hopes that Your Excellency Leo can supply some wizard potions in a monthly ration. Of course, the royal family will not let you supply it for free. The royal family will definitely offer sufficient remuneration. Absolutely

You will not be disappointed."

Hearing what the old wizard rushed to say, Frank Fossen showed an unhappy look on his face, but then he had to reveal a wry smile.

It has to be said that the person who stood behind the old wizard and planned this matter for him directly hit his weakness. Although he is the director of the Special Bureau, he does not have financial power in his hands. All financial expenditures need to be based on annual

Apply to Congress in the form of a budget. Even if there is an emergency budget, it can only be used under special circumstances. As for the purchase of medicines, it is definitely not among the many situations where emergency budgets can be used.

It's just that Frank Forson had considered the issue of asking price before he came, so the old wizard's words did not make him give up. He said with great confidence: "The price I offer is definitely not comparable to that of the royal family, but I can

To provide you with some additional help, for example, if you need our help in investigating something, I think our Special Bureau will be happy to cooperate with you. In addition, your friend is also in our Special Bureau, and we can focus on training him..."
