Chapter 146: Confrontation

The Vitovinas are a rare psionic race in the universe where the Earth Federation is located. More than 80% of their clans have psionic talents. They have learned to use psionic powers and make psionic powers since ancient times. The skill of the items is also the best in the universe. In the universe, more than 30% of the psionic items and psionic weapons are from their hands.
Although they were one of the earliest cosmic races in contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, they were very closed to the outside world and were only willing to communicate with the clan they recognized, and most of them were commercial contacts and did not allow others to influence themselves. Will not interfere in the internal affairs or cosmic wars of other ethnic groups.
It is precisely because of the conservative foreign policy and always neutral diplomatic attitude of the Vitovina that nearly 90% of the civilizations in the universe are willing to do business with them, especially the trading of psionic goods, and the Vitovina export This most eternal light is the most psionic item.
Because of this, the eternal light has become a symbol of the Vitovina, so the manufacturing process of this psionic item has always been one of the Vitovina's most protected skills.
"Can you see it?" Leo, out of curiosity, retrieved information about the Vitovina, pointed to the crystal ball that seemed to be eternal light, and asked Peter Alcott .
"Yes, please." Peter Alcott was very happy to see other people interested in the items he made. The various expressions on the faces of those people were his few sources of fun.
After getting permission, Leo picked up the eternal light on the table and placed it in front of his eyes. At the same time, he analyzed this item through the spiritual network, spiritual perception and spiritual vision and other psionic skills. Comparing the data quickly, the final conclusion as he expected, this thing is indeed eternal light.
Although the eternal light is a psionic item, it is not uncommon in the universe where the Earth Federation is located. Because of the special nature of its eternal light source, it has become the best hyperspace flight locator, almost all capable of space crossing The large fleet will be equipped with one or two eternal lights for spatial positioning.
Leo did not take such hyperspace ships in his previous life. He has also performed the task of destroying the enemy ship’s eternal light locator more than once in space warfare, so he is very familiar with this psionic item, which makes him almost unnecessary. After spending too much energy, you can already be sure that the crystal ball in your hand is a kind of eternal light.
"This is what you did?" Although there was already an answer in his mind, Leo asked positively after putting the crystal ball back into the bracket.
Although the look on Leo’s face did not change, and it remained as usual, Peter Alcott was able to feel the surprise in Leo’s tone, so he was proud and said:
This thing is good! Unfortunately, the materials are too particular , I can only make one raw material."
Leo was really shocked in his heart. If it was indeed the eternal light as he inferred, then it means that Peter Alcott once went to the universe where the Earth Federation is located, and in Vitovi The Na learned the craftsmanship of making the Eternal Light there, which also means that he may possibly return to the universe of the Earth Federation.
It's just that the idea of ​​returning to the Earth Federation flashed in Leo's brain for less than a second, and he wiped it out. He is now living well in this magical and interesting world. Every day there are a lot of novel things to satisfy his curiosity, and the Earth Federation gives him only memories of missions, battles, rest, and then continue missions, continue fighting, and even all He doesn't necessarily have a rest, so he doesn't want to go back to that terrible world where people are used as weapons.
Leo did not continue to ask about the details of this eternal light. He worried that if he continued to pursue it, there would be unpredictable accidents, and it might even be possible to send him back to the Earth Federation, so his best practice is to stop contacting Contact.
"Why is your Excellency looking for me?" Leo, who made the decision, immediately turned to the topic and asked.
Leo’s move to change the subject surprised Peter Alcott. His intuition clearly told him that Leo was very interested in this wizardry, but suddenly his attitude was 180 degrees. Reversed, behaved so indifferently, and showed a strong rejection of the item, which also gave him a strong curiosity.
"You've seen this thing before, right?" Peter Alcott is also a very curious person, and he seems to be a bit stubborn and self-conscious. He did not intend to bring himself into Leo's rhythm, and It was forced to turn the topic back, pointing to the eternal light, staring at Leo's expression and asking.
Leo's expression is still bland. Although he has not entered the state of mechanical will, his mentality has returned to a situation similar to that of biological weapons in those years. The whole person is like a stubborn stone without revealing any information.
I saw that he had no intention of asking any question from Peter Alcott, and directly took the king and queen back to the holster, and then said indifferently: "If there is nothing else, then... "
"If you don't want to say it, let's talk about something else!" While Leo showed strong disgust, Peter Alcott's attitude also changed suddenly, leaning his body on the chair with a smile, Make yourself look less aggressive.
Although Peter Alcott is very curious about Leo, he wants to know why he feels that Leo is acquainted, and also wants to know the various secrets hidden in Leo, but he can also see Leo’s soft personality. He didn't eat it, if he didn't choose to give in, he would eventually fail.
If Leo is just an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be bad for Peter Alcott to be overthrown. He could just find a reason and just grab Leo and torture it. But from the two weapons Leo brought out, he can feel Leo's strength is very strong, and just now his intuition very clearly told him that if he is a strong player, his chances of winning are very small.
Peter Alcott is completely different from other nobles in Ten Town and Silvermoon City. The memory and knowledge brought by his childhood experience let him understand what is compromise and what is roundabout. This knowledge makes him more like a politician in the Velon world. Face and dignity are not important. What matters is whether he can finally achieve his goals. So when Leo showed a tough attitude, he chose to take a step back and ease the current relationship, and then use other methods to narrow the relationship, until the relationship is good, then listen to the secret from the other party.
The whole process of exploring and decrypting is like a game for Peter Alcott, and it is a game that is worth his effort and can help him pass the boring time.
Although Leo, who has been stared at, is not very clear about Peter Alcott’s real thoughts, he can feel that the other party obviously wants to dig up some secrets from himself, and it seems that he has plans for long-term contact Otherwise, in his capacity, he will never make such a retreat.
He did not care about this, but he was happy to see it succeeded, because he also wanted to dig out some secrets from the other party, and only had more contact, the more opportunities to dig out the other party’s secrets, as to who will win in the end, It depends on the respective means.
Perhaps it was because of the same idea that both of them made the same decision, waiting for the other to speak first, looking for each other’s loopholes, so both of them chose silence at this moment, and the cabin immediately became silent and the atmosphere in the room was also Becomes a little weird.
Soon, the initial decision of the two of them changed a little bit. Both parties now guessed the other party’s intentions, and no one had thought about what to say first, so that the two seemed to be in a game. The losing game is the same.
At this moment, the maid came to the two of them carrying the plate, placed the plate on the table, picked up an exquisite teapot, poured a glass of water for the two, and placed it beside them.
The eyes of the two fell on the teacups in front of each other and looked at each other, almost laughing at the same time. Although they didn't know why they were laughing, they both thought it was time to laugh now.
After laughing, this time Leo took the initiative to reach out to Peter Alcott and introduced himself: "Leo Dodd, the Seeker."
"Peter Alcott, dreamer." Peter Alcott also shook Leo's hand and reintroduced himself.
The atmosphere in the room became a lot lighter at this moment, except that the vigilance in the hearts of both parties did not weaken as a result.
"Dodd's surname is very strange. I remember Shizhen didn't seem to have this surname," Peter Alcott said with a little thought. "Is this surname the new surname of the honorary nobleman in Silvermoon City?"
Every guild organization in Silvermoon City will occasionally award the status of honorary nobles to some outstanding people in their guilds, and these identities are not hereditary, so the surnames produced by the honorary nobles are naturally only temporary.
"No. This is just for me to do whatever I want." Leo directly denied the other party's guess, because the surname of the honorary noble can be detected without any pretense.
"Do you want to do anything?" Peter Alcott clearly didn't believe Leo's words, but he didn't continue to ask any more, and continued: "Your Excellency Dodd... well, it's a little too formal to call it, I still call you Your name is Leo, and you can call me Peter. What do you think?"
"Yes." Leo nodded.
Peter Alcott smiled slightly and continued what he had just said, saying: "I heard the old housekeeper say, Leo, you and the ninth chief dedicated businessman Witzmir are collaborators, right?"
Leo simply responded: "He is a good collaborator."
"It is indeed a good choice." Peter Alcott nodded in agreement, saying: "His position in the eyes of the ninth chief is not very reliable. Many people are waiting for him to have an accident to take over his seat. , So he must come to seventh lake town this time to do something, in order to be able to do things, he may agree to any conditions. If you and he did not finally reach an agreement, now it is best to consider raising some cooperation conditions As long as it does not affect his status, I think he should all agree."
"You called me, wouldn't you just tell me how to talk to Witzmir?" Leo didn't intend to go around with Peter Alcott and asked directly, "What's the matter? Say better."
"Originally, I had no other ideas for you, I just wanted to see if you were someone I knew before, but now I have a different idea." Peter Alcott changed his casual attitude and his expression changed. To be a little more serious, said: "I want to make a deal with you, as long as you tell me about the waste capital, you can choose a factory in my name and all the products produced by the factory."
Hearing Peter Alcott's words, Leo felt a little puzzled, but the expression on his face did not show, but asked plainly: "Do you not understand the situation of the abandoned capital?"
"Do you think our ten-town nobles are qualified to understand these things?" Peter Alcott looked at Leo unpleasantly and said, "Your wizarding association is strictly forbidden to participate in these things~EbookFREE.me~ Leo found that Peter Alcott seemed to be influenced by the old housekeeper, and regarded him as a person of the Wizarding Society, so he calculated it, defaulted to this identity, and continued: "What happened to the dream stone? "
Peter Alcott smiled and said, "This is my secret. If you want to know it, you can exchange it with your secret."
Leo was silent for a while, and said deliberately: "I don't know what waste? It's useless to ask me."
Peter Alcott was stunned, with a surprised expression on his face, followed by a look of total disbelief, clapped his hands, and slightly ridiculously praised: "You witches are so powerful, the lies they say It made me unable to tell."
When he heard Peter Alcott, Leo smiled a little. He just told the truth deliberately just to test Peter Alcott’s instinct, and now it seems Peter Alcott His intuition seems to be able to distinguish the true and false of the words to a certain extent, and this discovery also gave him a chance to some extent.
However, the smile on Leo's face caused a misunderstanding to Peter Alcott, which he thought was a proud smile after successfully deceiving his intuition, which also made him feel a little doubt about his intuition.
He feels that since Leo has the ability to deceive him to correctly judge the truth of a sentence, there must be a way to deceive him to judge the good or bad of a thing, and his intuition told him before that Leo is harmless and may also It is a disguise deception of the other party's witchcraft.
Thinking of this, Peter Alcott's relaxed mood was a little bit nervous, his body instinctively made a little defensive posture, and the maid standing quietly beside him also moved to his body when his mood changed. Beside, protect him.
