Why the British royal family would spend a lot of money to build a garden palace that they would not use is something that puzzles the British people very much.

Some people have also suggested to Congress that they investigate the source of funding for the Garden Palace to find out the real reason why the royal family built such a Garden Palace that will not be used.

But it is a pity that all the funds spent by the royal family to build the garden came from the royal family's private treasury, and not a penny of state treasury funds was used. Even if Congress wanted to investigate, they could not find any legal basis to support their investigation.

In the end, the matter came to nothing.

However, even so, many people are still curious about it. After all, not only the construction cost of such a large garden palace is staggering, but also the maintenance cost is also staggering. However, even in the most difficult financial period, the royal family still has not stopped.

Maintenance of this garden palace.

Someone calculated that if the annual maintenance funds paid by the royal family were accumulated, the amount would now be large enough to rebuild a seminary.

Therefore, among the various speculations about the Garden Palace, there are many rumors of conspiracy theories. Some anti-royal people believe that the Garden Palace must hide weapons that the royal family is prepared to use to subvert parliament and regain power.

However, with the opening of the Garden Palace to foreign missions and royal guests, such rumors have decreased a lot.

On the way to the residence of the Spiritual Drama Troupe, Vashchi told Leo about the Garden Palace. While Leo was listening, his eyes always fell on the stone path at his feet.

The secret of the Garden Palace has troubled most people in England for many years, but Leo had already discovered the secret of the Garden Palace from the moment he entered the garden.

Just like most government agencies in Durin City have installed jammers, the Garden Palace has also installed very powerful jammers. In this case, Leo's mental network was suppressed so much that he could only envelope it.

There is an area of ​​one or two meters around the body, and the perception will be subject to some interference, and the information harvested will be incomplete.

However, even so, Leo could still sense that the roadbed foundation stones under the flagstone path were very special. These foundation stones were all made of sacrificial stones.

Sacrifice stone is a very special kind of stone. This stone is specially used to build religious altars. The mineral reserves are very small. More than 90% of the sacrificial stone mines in the Velen world are in the hands of various churches, and only a small amount is in the hands of stone merchants.

.

Although this kind of stone is rare in quantity, the loose sandstone material it is made of is not suitable for building large buildings. Its preciousness lies only in its religious value, so this kind of stone is not widely circulated among the people, and because of its scarcity

, so the price is extremely high.

If sacrificial stones were used as foundation stones under all the paths in the Garden Palace, then the cost of these foundation stones alone would be comparable to the total cost of the rest of the Wreath Palace.

"Sacrificial site!" Leo quickly thought of something that fit the secret of the Garden Palace.

The sacrificial site is an upgraded version of the altar, and its function is also for sacrifice. As for the effect, Leo is not sure, and the information in his mind has no relevant content, because the time for the sacrificial site to appear is very short, so short that there are only a few

By twenty years, the reason why it disappeared in such a short period of time was mainly because the cost was too high. Even a church as big as the Lord of the Sky Church would be difficult to support the construction costs of a large number of sacrificial sites.

Leo could imagine why the British royal family would spend huge sums of money to build such a sacrificial site. It was nothing more than a sacrifice to the God of the Sea.

As the gods gradually disappear from the world of Velen, Poseidon will no longer respond to the prayers of believers, even if the prayers are his favored ones. Therefore, in order to get a response from Poseidon, the Yinge royal family did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to build a sacrificial site.

It is unknown whether the response from Poseidon was obtained as a result, but judging from the follow-up processing of the Garden Palace, it seems that the British royal family did not get what they wanted.

However, the sacrificial site is not like any other building that can be abandoned just as it wants. Some special rituals are required before it can be demolished. If the British royal family held these rituals, it would undoubtedly give the aggressive Congress at the time a handle to deprive it of the temple.

With more royal rights, the British royal family could only leave it idle and spend a large amount of money every year to maintain this place.

After walking for a while on the main road of the garden, the two turned to a garden path. After passing a section of dense woods, the scenery ahead suddenly opened up.

I saw a circle of carefully manicured grass surrounding an artificial lake. Small tents were set up on the grass. A group of men and women came in and out of the tents and gathered together for some rehearsals. There were also a large number of craftsmen repairing some performance props, and some

The painter conducts final inspections on the background panels that will be used for the evening performance.

Vashchi's clothes were very conspicuous. As soon as she walked out of the forest path, she was already seen by the people in the camp. They obviously had a bad feeling about Vashchi's senses. The people who were still discussing the drama performance became quiet, and

Looking at Vashchi and Leo with vigilance and disgust, the craftsmen and painters also stopped what they were doing, and their eyes followed Vashchi.

"It seems like you're not very lovable here." Leo looked at the people around him and said with a slightly teasing tone.

"They're just a bunch of boring idiots!" Vashki rolled her eyes at Leo and responded coldly.

At this time, a young woman with a plump figure walked out of the crowd, walked up to Vasqi, and said in an indifferent tone: "Why are you here again? Didn't you make enough trouble last time? Because of you, the last performance was not allowed.

If it had not been delayed for two days, we almost lost money due to breach of contract..."

Wasiqi didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and spoke directly, saying: "Instead of stopping me like this, you might as well take me to see Mitty. You should know very well that if I want to see Mitty, you can't stop me.

."

"Beast Soul Warrior?" Leo on the side activated his spiritual vision after feeling the aura of power on the young woman's body, and then saw the shadow of a strange snake emerging behind the young woman.

Although Leo didn't know how to tell the strength of the beast soul warriors, judging from the actual situation of the beast soul, it was obvious that the beast soul of the young woman in front of him was much stronger than that of Pasa Kakulan.

The beast soul on Pasa Kakulan only has a vague form, but the illusion of the beast soul behind this young woman is very clear and concrete. Even the scales on the snake are clearly visible, and even the snake's eyes are very flexible, like a living creature.

The same.

As the beast soul became stronger, his spiritual sense also increased. He felt Leo's sight very keenly. The snake's head also turned to Leo, its cold snake eyes were aimed at Leo, and the scarlet snake swayed hesitantly, as if it was collecting information.

It's like Leo's message.

The movement of the beast soul also fed back to the young woman. The young woman turned her head and looked at Leo. She looked up and down, but could not see anything unusual about Leo, so she teased Vashqi: "

Who is he? Your lover?"

"Lover?" Vashki smiled, turned to look at Leo, and said, "If he is willing, I don't mind."

Leo frowned and said, "I don't like such jokes." Then, he said to the young woman, "I'm here to see Mitty Grant. My name is Leo, Leo Dodd."

"Leo Dodd?" The young woman had obviously heard of Leo's name. She was startled when she heard it. Then she looked him up and down carefully and said with a hint of surprise: "You are nothing like what I imagined!"

"What do you think he looks like?" Vashchi smiled.

"At least you should be like a scholar." The young woman curled her lips and said, "Not like a warrior."

Leo raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to speak, Vashqi smiled and said, "He was originally a warrior, and a very powerful warrior."

After hearing Vashchi's painting, the expression on the young woman's face changed slightly, and she looked at Leo with a bit of eagerness. There was also an intention in her expression to weigh Leo's qualifications to be called a powerful warrior.

Seeing the young woman's expression, Vashchi took two steps to the side, deliberately staying away from Leo's side to make some space.

Leo looked at Vashchi who was deliberately provoking trouble and the hot-headed young woman in front of him, sighed slightly, and released the life energy locked in his body.

The moment his life energy emitted, everyone around him who could feel his life energy felt a kind of life-level suppression, and did not dare to look directly at Leo. However, Vasqi and the young woman who were closest to Leo felt

The most intense.

The beast soul behind the young woman seemed to have felt this suppression of life. It wrapped its body around the young woman and curled up, with its head retracted, completely in a defensive state. The young woman herself felt discomfort, but she did not understand it.

What's going on? I could only instinctively push back a certain distance before feeling a little relieved.

Vashchi also looked at Leo in surprise, but the mental impact prevented her from looking at Leo for too long. She would shift her gaze to other places from time to time, and step back a certain distance, so that she could barely withstand this suppression of life.

Looking at the reactions around him, Leo confirmed two things. One thing is that the beast soul of the beast soul warrior can actively help the parasite withstand extra power, which means that the beast soul has a certain degree of wisdom. The other thing is that the gas

As he expected, Qi's life level did not reach level seven, or even level five, otherwise he would not be affected by his life level as a fifth-level psyker.

Feeling that it was almost done, Leo locked the life energy into his body again, and the suppression of life surrounding him immediately disappeared.

All the people around who felt the pressure couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. They all looked at each other and didn't understand what happened just now. But when the pressure disappeared, both Vasqi and the young woman looked at Leo with a look in their eyes.

He had an inexplicable look on his face, as if he was looking at some kind of monster.

"Can you take me to see Ms. Mitty now?" Leo ignored the two people's gazes and asked the young woman.

"Miss, it's Miss Mitty. Come with me!" The young woman calmed down her emotions, corrected Leo's wording, then turned around and led Leo and Vaschi towards the camp.

The three of them arrived at a relatively exquisite tent located in the middle of the camp. The young woman then asked Leo and Vaschi to stay outside the tent for a while, then got inside the tent. After a while, she got out and signaled that they could go in.

The space inside the tent seemed larger than it looked from the outside. An exquisite blanket was spread on the ground, with some small furniture made of high-end wood placed on it. A very expensive crystal lamp hung on the top of the tent, and more than a dozen specially made

candles were placed inside, and the light refracted by the crystal illuminated the entire tent as brightly as the outside.

There were two people inside the tent, one was a maid, and the other was sitting at a dressing table, applying makeup with the help of the maid, and did not get up to greet the arrival of outsiders at all.

The moment Leo entered the tent, his eyes did not fall on Mitty Grant in front of the dressing table. Instead, he looked at the maid thoughtfully. Although the look on his face was not too abnormal, he felt deep inside.

But it was already like a storm, because he knew this maid. This maid was Peter Alcott's psychic puppet maid named Maria in the town of Silver Moon Lake.

Leo still remembered that the last time he saw Peter Alcott and his psychic maid was before entering the waste city. After that, he and Peter Alcott were separated. He entered the big library, and Peter Alcott

Alcott and his maid entered other parts of the abandoned city for other reasons.

However, he never imagined that he would see this psychic puppet maid named Maria here again.

After being surprised, Leo realized that he seemed to have made a mistake, because the maid in front of him, whose appearance, body shape and clothes were exactly the same as the psychic puppet, was a living person, not a puppet.

"Maria, go down first! I'll call you later." The woman sitting in front of the dressing table ordered the maid.

When Leo heard the maid's name, he felt suspicious again, but when the maid turned to look at him, she didn't have any unusual expression, she looked very calm, as if she were looking at a stranger.

Then, the maid obeyed the instructions, saluted to the woman, walked past Leo, and walked out of the tent.

"Something's wrong!" At first, Leo didn't feel it, but soon he felt that something was very wrong with the maid named Maria just now, because according to the reaction of ordinary people, when seeing a stranger, they would instinctively feel curious and look at the other person more.

There is more or less curiosity and speculation in the eyes.

But the maid named Maria just now didn't have any emotions that she should have, and her eyes always remained cold. Especially when she looked at Leo, her eyes seemed to be deliberately pretending to be emotional, not showing any emotions that she should have. This was obviously wrong.

Unreasonable.

"I finally met you, Leo Dodd." Just when Leo was suspicious and was about to walk out of the tent to find the maid to figure out the matter, a voice pulled him back from his thoughts, and he saw makeup
