A good show before the official start of the Shou Ling Club, the dignitaries of the lake towns in the Shou Ling Hall are increasingly looking forward to something more happening at the Shou Ling Club, so that they can have more fun in the same boring life.
It is a pity that the development of things did not proceed as they wished. In the various ceremonies of the Spiritual Guard Society, the Leo and Alcott families did not have any conflicts. Everything is the same as every past Spiritual Society. Plain and boring.
Even when Peter Alcott’s legacy was announced later, the Alcott family did not show any significance to Leo’s inheritance, nor did they directly redeem that copy like Anna Alcott before. heritage.
Although the performance of the Alcott family seems to many people to be a declining performance, after all, the inheritance of the direct members of the Alcott family has never been inherited by outsiders in the past, but there is still no one Dare to question the Alcott family's rule over the town on the lake.
It was just that Andre XIII did not attend his son's spirit-keeping society from beginning to end.
Although Anna Alcott left midway, she at least still came as a mother, and Andre XIII as a father did not show up from the beginning to the end. This is really rumored to him. The son's spoiled degree does not match.
Many people have even made some associations, and they have recently associated rumors about the health of Andre XIII. It is precisely because of this association that many people started to contact Robert Alcott, who is the heir of the next seventh Alcott family, after the Spirit Guardian Association ended. A good impression is left in front of the family head of the special family.
Just as the dignitaries of the Seventh Lake Upper Town started a new round of power game, Witzmir confessed to Leo, and got up and left the Soul Hall, and said a few words with the butler waiting outside Later, he was led by the housekeeper and walked towards the main building of the manor.
Leo, who was left alone in the Soul Hall, looked at the big box that was sent to him. His brows were slightly wrinkled. He was sitting quietly for a while like he was thinking about something. Then he stood up and carried the half man directly. The large tall box came out of the guard hall and walked outside the Alcott family estate.
From Peter Alcott’s legacy, Leo acquired two things, the psionic puppet now carrying him on his shoulder, and the other house he lives in now.
Although Peter Alcott gave the house to him, which was somewhat unexpected, but it would not be too unexpected to think about it. Obviously the moment Peter Alcott gave the house key to him, it was already The house was going to be handed over to him, and now this will just adds formal procedures.
What really caused Leo to get into thinking just now is actually the psionic puppets stored in the box.
According to Leo's previous guess, Peter Alcott should not have died, he just faked the dead for some purpose, so Peter Alcott used puppet psionic puppets to cover up anyway. There must be a hint of psionic energy in him.
But when the box containing the puppet was placed in front of him, Leo found that the puppet in the box was just a puppet, and there was no psionic fluctuation at all.
And through the inspection of the spiritual network, he also found that although the puppet looks very beautiful, exactly the same as the psionic puppet he saw before, but after careful inspection, he found that the puppet did not have any necessary mechanical parts.
According to common sense, whether it is a psionic puppet or an ordinary puppet, puppets must have some necessary mechanical parts, such as joint shafts, spine movable gears, etc., to move. But now this puppet does not have these most basic mechanical parts, so its body cannot move, and the whole looks more like a wooden sculpture.
At the beginning, Leo thought that the puppet was dropped. From the attitude shown by Anna Alcott, she seemed to be a must for this puppet, so it was not impossible for her to drop the puppet.
But soon this speculation was rejected by Leo himself, because such things as losing the inheritance of others are absolutely taboo in the aristocracy.
Today, Anna Alcott can drop a piece of inheritance that belongs to other people, so in the future, you will probably directly drop the will of the Alcott family. With Anna Alcott setting this precedent, the people of other noble families in Lake Town may also learn to do it. In this way, the inheritance rules of the entire Lake Town nobility circle are virtually useless, and the destruction of the overall order of Lake Town is absolutely absolute. Is devastating.
Anna Alcott is indeed the power controller of the seventh Alcott family, and her power is the largest in the entire seventh lake, but compared to the power of the entire aristocracy in the seventh lake, She is obviously still a little behind, not to mention the power held by all the nobles of the Lake Union.
If she really did the thing of destroying the foundation of noble inheritance by replacing the inheritance of the inheritance, then even if she had Alcott's surname, which is extremely honorable in the Lake Union, she would not escape.
It’s impossible to see the danger in Anna Alcott’s life and wisdom, so no matter how much she loves her son, how big is the secret hidden in the psionic puppet, she can’t make this kind of self. Things to seek death.
After denying the speculation that Anna Alcott dropped the packet, Leo carefully checked the situation of the psionic puppet again, and quickly found some doubts.
He found that psionic puppets were curled up inside the box, and the surface was very old and traces of heavy use.
If someone really wants to drop this psionic puppet, then that person must make an identical psionic puppet in advance many years ago, and also make old psionic puppets in different time periods. It is even necessary to make psionic puppets with different poses, because no one can guess in advance what kind of container this psionic puppet will be stuffed into.
After analyzing the difficulty of dropping the packet through the auxiliary brain system, Leo is almost certain to want to obtain the psionic puppet left by Peter Alcott by the way of dropping the packet, and it can also be used to determine that the box is What Peter Alcott left to him in his will.
After rejecting the guess of dropping the bag, Leo came up with a new guess, that is, this puppet was not the psionic puppet he saw at the time by Peter Alcott, the puppet in the box was actually It's just the bait used by Peter Alcott to divert his attention. The real psionic puppet has been properly kept in other places.
But this guess just flashed in Leo's mind, and he was rejected by him again.
Because if Peter Alcott really did this, then the deal he had previously made with Leo would be useless.
In the promise made by Leo, he only needs to bring Peter Alcott's puppets into the waste. Now the puppet he inherited is also Peter Alcott’s puppet, and he still got the formal characterization of the will, so even if Peter Alcott personally came to him with the psionic puppet, he can use this Gu Puppet is regarded as the object of his own commitment and refuses other requests from the other party.
It is impossible to think of this in the light of Peter Alcott's wisdom, so this incomplete puppet should be the psionic puppet.
In addition, Anna Alcott's eager attitude towards the puppet is also evidence of the puppet's particularity.
The questions brought about by this puppet didn't make sense until Leo left the aristocratic city, but some flies caused by this puppet had gathered and hid in the dark to spy on his whereabouts.
Less than two blocks away, Leo’s Spirit Net sensed no fewer than seven groups of people, hidden in the shadows of the alleys around the street and obstacles on the roof, and watched Leo’s every move.
All of these people are elite warriors with obvious ancestralization in their bodies. The gas from each person shows that the various types of life that have died in their hands are not a small number.
It's just that there is no psionic fluctuations in these people, and the willpower can't keep up with the changes in the body, making them easy to be emotional, and some of them show signs of dehumanization in their behavior.
Just a moment ago, Leo used a small trick easily to provoke the two teams of monitors hiding in the dark to fight, and the other teams responsible for monitoring Leo were also easily attracted by the riots there. I forgot my original task. It wasn't until Leo left from their surveillance for a while that he became aware of it and generally chased him regardless of his exposure.
Although with Leo’s strength, it is not difficult to solve these ancestral monitors without psionic power, but he did not do so, but regarded these people as their bodyguards, as long as these people are not themselves Stand up for trouble and let them follow in secret until they return to their residence.
Leo, who had returned to his residence, did not enter the house immediately, because a large number of ordinary people gathered in the alleys around the house. These portraits looked cautiously hiding behind some obstacles, and while talking to each other, they looked up at the broken windows on the outer wall of the study on the second floor.
At this time, the window near the small building had been completely damaged, the window frame had become some debris, scattered on the street, and the surrounding walls were also seriously damaged, and the mechanical parts inside the wall were also exposed, even if it was You can also cut down clearly when standing downstairs.
In addition, there are a lot of book fragments and some broken furniture scattered on the street, which shows how much movement happened in the house before.
Seeing this scene, the first thought in Leo’s mind was those monsters named Wild Hunt and Javier, subconsciously thinking that those wild hunting came from another world, and Javier in the house Li Da shot.
At the same time as the speculation occurred, Leo's spiritual network also expanded, covering the house with it, penetrating into the interior and viewing the situation inside.
However, when the data returned from the mental network by the vice-brain system was restored on the retina through the image, Leo was stunned, and the expression on his face became a little strange, followed by the attention of everyone around him, carrying the box, using The key opened the door and walked into the house.
After entering the room, Leo directly carried the box to the study on the second floor, opened the door and walked in, and after putting down the box, said to the person in the room: "Can you tell me what happened?"
I saw that at this moment, the organs of this house had been triggered, and the chains and cages protruding from the wall captured and confined all living things in the house.
Jiwei Aier and a stranger in a wizard's robe are bound by a chain of arm thickness. The binding power of the chain itself is enough to bind people, but the magic circle on the chain is even more powerful. Runes.
Through the exploration of the spiritual network and the analysis of the para-brain system, Leo learned that these magical runes like Turing roots can produce some kind of concussive power to disperse the nearby psionic energy, and through the psionic energy to convert the rune, These psionic powers are transformed into a kind of psionic power, which is the main reason why Javier cannot escape.
In addition to the two of Javier Aier, there is a small cage beside the window on the lake side. The Duke of White Boots is imprisoned in the cage. Although the appearance is not injured, the spirit is very weak. Obviously the prisoner Inside the cage should be hidden a magic array specifically for moonlight rats.
"Leo, help me untie it," Javier said when he saw Leo came back, he couldn't wait to say: "When I was fighting this thief, it seemed that I had touched something, and it became what it is now. ."
Although Jiwei Aier said it very simply, Leo was still able to hear a rough idea. It was nothing more than the strange wizard who took advantage of his opportunity to attend the Spiritual Meeting and sneaked into the house.
It’s just that this infiltrator didn’t expect that there are other people in this house~EbookFREE.me~ and that this person’s strength is very strong, not to mention that this room hides an institution specifically for psionicists like wizards, and was eventually Imprisoned here, unable to move.
"Here, wait a minute. The chains on your body are one. If you undo the chains on your body, the chains on this person will also be unlocked."
Leo did not immediately disarm the machine, explained it, and gave Javier a little restlessness, then walked to the window and inserted the key into a hole in the base of the small prison cage. After twisting the key a few times, I only heard a click, the key was pushed out of the hole by an organ, and the small prison cage was automatically disassembled and retracted into the wall.
The Duke of White Boots, who was released from captivity, immediately became energetic and climbed from the ground, but did not speak, but nodded at Leo, then, under the shadow of Leo, jumped into the window behind him and ran Went outside. But it didn't go far. It just hid under the eaves by the window, raised its ears, and listened to the situation in the house. It seemed that it was ready to wait for the things in the house to calm down, and then talk to Leo.
After freeing the Duke of the White Boots, Leo turned to the wizard who was always fearless and said, "If I guessed right, you should be the expeditioner Charles Langco?"
