Chapter 441: King of academia

Just when Leo speculated on the details of the Roosevelt family because of all the discoveries, Diffie Roosevelt had finished the toast, and then left the hall surrounded by several people. Other Roosevelt family members were responsible for receiving guests and banquets. It started again, and the hall became noisy again. Many people who did not like this noisy environment left their seats and went to the garden.
　　Although this is a dinner party, there are not many people who really eat on the table. The vast majority of people have already eaten before they come. They are not here for the food at the banquet, but for the people at the banquet.
　　 Leo did not go to the garden, but walked in front of the statues in the hall, stopping to watch these statues from time to time.
As I heard before, the Roosevelt family seems to be very obsessed with white deer. Nearly more than half of the surrounding statues are white deer statues, and the rest of the statues are carved with some heroes of ancient legends, and these are very interesting. The hero sculpture is dominated by the statue of Count Francis Drake, the pirate.
　　 All the more interesting sculptures related to Drake are not carving Drake wearing admiral costumes or combat costumes. The classic scene of fighting at sea, but Drake wearing a scholar costume, is making some talk about people.
"Are these Drake's sculptures weird?" Lyon Larson, who was a little different from the surrounding atmosphere at this time, leaned back next to Leo, and some said nothing to say in order to alleviate the embarrassment at the moment: " In fact, these sculptures are very vividly carved, and there is nothing wrong. Everyone thinks that Francis Drake is just a brave sea warrior, but in fact Count Drake is still a learned scholar, only because of his sea The legendary experience is so famous that everyone ignores his other identity."
　　 "Another identity?" Leo looked at Lyon Larson with interest.
Seeing Leo respond to his words, Lyon Larson was relieved a little, feeling the awkward atmosphere around him a little relieved, so he replied: "In fact, Count Drake still has an identity, He was the founder of the Royal College and the funder of the Royal College’s construction costs. However, because the reputation of the first Dean, Mr. Birmingham, is so great, everyone can only remember Mr. Birmingham, thinking that the Royal College is Mr. Birmingham. Built by investment."
"What's the matter?" Leo was also a little surprised by the news, because he had never heard similar rumors, except that he didn't think Lyon Larson would make up such an easily liable statement. There must be evidence on hand.
Just as Leo had guessed, Lyon Larson worried that Leo thought he was talking nonsense, and quickly added an explanation: "In fact, not many people know about this matter, only recorded in the earliest memo of the Royal Academy It’s just that after Count Drake’s death, the royal family seemed to cover up the matter for some reason, destroyed the memorandums related to Count Drake, deliberately made some rumors, and finally made the truth of this matter It’s completely covered up,
he said, with a look of pride on his face again, saying,
However, my ancestor used to be Sir Birmingham’s portable recorder, and the Royal College he experienced firsthand went from scratch, This experience is also recorded in the diary. There are also things related to Earl Drake, such as mentioning that Earl Drake’s knowledge even exceeds that of Sir Birmingham, and Sir Birmingham often consults German as a student Earl Lake has some problems."
While Lyon Larson was speaking, Leo suddenly thought of something. He remembered that the old man Rembrandt mentioned that there were several collection families in Velen. Envy and jealousy, and the Larson family of the English kingdom is among them.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but feel that he should probably take this opportunity to make contact with this Lyon Larson in front of him. If he has a chance, he can go to Larson's house to see it. Even the old Rembrandt is very envious. Book collection.
　　 Driven by this idea, Leo also timely throws out some suitable topics to continue this conversation.
Lyon Larson is just an ordinary scholar, and he is a very traditional, research-oriented scholar. He does not know how to socialize, and his mood will not be hidden. His face will be easily revealed, which makes Leo It was easy enough to find out the topics he was interested in, and let the relationship grow deeper with some discussion.
　　 It didn't take long for Lyon Larson to regard Leo as a worthy friend, and Leo took the initiative to invite Leo to his house to watch the collection of books with some hints.
At this time, Frank, the servant who was waiting at the door, entered the hall, stood on his feet, raised his head, looked around the hall several times, and found Leo, walked over in a hurry, and was very decent After paying a salute to Leo and Lyon Larson, he said to Leo: "Sir, your letter has been handed to Sir Roland. After reading your letter, Sir Roland eagerly wants to meet you Meet, do you have time now?"
　　 "Sir Roland? Sir Phedia Roland?" Lyon Larson confirmed with surprise.
Although they are also scholars in the Kingdom of England, scholars are divided into higher and lower. Lyon Larson is definitely among the lower scholars. He relies more on the glory of the family to support the decent scholars. Ya Roland is different. He is the top scholar, even in the entire Velon academia. Some even think that his achievements have surpassed Sir Birmingham, the first dean of the Royal Academy.
　　However, now such a scholar standing at the top of the academic world is so eager to see this new friend who is next to him, which makes him wonder what the other party is, the scholar or the noble?
Although the main purpose of Leo’s coming here was to see this Fidia Roland, but he did not appear to be eager to leave, leaving the next Lyon Larson to leave, but turned to Lyon Larson, Asked: "Mr. Larson, are you interested in meeting Sir Roland?"
"Ah?" Lyon Larson was surprised by Leo's invitation. In his opinion, Leo should get rid of everything after he got Fidia Roland, and he would go immediately. If he changed, he would definitely do so. However, Leo did not leave now, but instead invited him, which made him feel a kind of respect that he had never had before, and he was also inexplicably moved by his heart, and he also regarded Leo as a truly worthy friend.
Although he also wanted to accept Leo’s invitation, after all, Fidia Roland’s academia in the Kingdom of England was like a god. Being able to discuss issues with him is a matter of pride in his life, but he also has self-knowledge. I am afraid that my own knowledge is not even as good as that of Phedia Roland's apprentices, so he would only humiliate himself if he hurried to go.
　　 Therefore, Lyon Larson rejected Leo’s invitation, and very formally invited Leo to the Larson’s estate in the past two days. After receiving a positive reply from Leo, he took the initiative to leave.
　　 "Lead the way!" Leo told Frank after Lyon Larson left.
　　 "Please come with me!" Frank whispered, then turned and led Leo away from the side door, into the side garden path, and walked toward the bookstore on the side of the garden.
On the way, Frank suddenly said: "If the adults are capable, you can help Mr. Larson. The Larson family is also a very famous family of scholars in Port Sait. It is also a very regrettable thing."
Leo looked at Frank with some doubts. From the perspective of Frank's previous behavior, he strictly followed the rules of the servant and would never say anything beyond the scope of the rules. Now Frank's words are already in violation. If someone from the Roosevelt family knows, then his punishment is still light, and it is very likely that he will be dismissed directly.
　　 "Why do you care so much about the Larson family?" Leo asked with some doubt.
Frank replied in a serious way: "The Larson family has always taught the poor children in the civilian area free of charge to learn all kinds of knowledge. I also learned literacy in the primary school opened by the Larson family before I was able to be successfully Roosevelt. The family chooses to become a servant of the Roosevelt family, and be free from that... In short, I am very grateful to the Larson family and hope to help the Larson family do something.
　　 "Did the Larson family encounter any difficulties?" Leo did not question Frank's words, but asked the question.
Frank replied: "Mr. Lyon listened to a friend’s conjecture, thinking that a mining company in the United States and California discovered new veins there, so he wanted to buy when the company’s stock price was still low. Sell ​​it, earn some money, repair the Larson Manor. I never thought it was just a scam, not only without mineral veins, even the company was fake, and eventually all the money was cheated, making the Larson family now The daily expenses are unsustainable. In order to maintain the school in the civilian area, Mr. Lyon has begun to change some of the antiques among the sellers. In this way, sooner or later, the manor will be sold."
　　 "Why didn't he close that school?" Leo asked again.
　　Frank looked at Leo and said, "Maybe it's for the sake of face, or maybe you really want to give civilians free learning opportunities. In short, Mr. Lyon is trying to maintain the normal operation of the school."
　　 "Sorry, I shouldn't doubt this kindness!" Leo admitted wrongly.
　　Frank was a little surprised and froze, saying, "Mr. Leo, you are different from others."
　　 Leo asked: "Because you apologize to a servant?"
　　Frank nodded slightly and said, "In this manor, even people with low status will not apologize to our servants."
　　Leo did not respond, and after walking some distance behind Frank, said: "I will consider the Larson family."
　　 "Thank you." Frank smiled as if he had been rewarded.
　　 walked some distance again, and after passing through a well-designed garden, came to a small building surrounded by countless flowers.
At this time, someone outside the building was already waiting there. When he saw Frank coming, he greeted him immediately. He asked Frank quickly with his eyes. After Frank nodded slightly, he respected Chao Leiou very respectfully. Salute, and then said: "Hello, Sir Roland has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."
Having finished speaking, he took over Frank’s task, led Leo through the garden, into the hut, and walked all the way to the study, then stopped and turned to salute Leo, saying, "Sir Roland has been waiting for a long time. Come, please."
Entering the door opened by the servant, Leo entered the study room. I saw that the study room was very large and very simple. There were no magnificent utensils. Like Leo's transformed study room, the bookcases were embedded in the wall, rows and rows. Books are piled up in the bookcase, and judging from the smell, the books here are all ancient books.
Leo’s eyes scanned the bookcase. From the above name, a large number of outdated ancient books were found. Almost all the books involved materials such as ancient myths and civilization ruins, and all the books were very professional, even On the top floor of the bookshelf there are some older parchment rolls and straw rolls.
There are no desks in the study, only a few chairs and a heating stove. At this moment an old man is very focused on the coffee table in front of the chair ~EbookFREE.me~ there are some ancient books around. From the various traces, these books have just been read. However, the old man apparently did not find the answers he wanted from these books, whispering words in his mouth repeatedly.
　　Although the sound is not loud, because the room is very open, Leo can hear clearly even if he does not pass extraordinary hearing.
Obviously, the characters from Leo City that Leo had left in his heart had already disturbed the old man in front of him. He was full of curiosity and doubts about this newly discovered character, and his body and mind were completely immersed in the cracking of the character, even if Leo left Nothing was noticed by his side.
　　 "You should use the Monpa language to crack this text, not the Khadgar language." Leo stood next to the old man for a while, then suddenly said.
The old man was completely immersed in the cracked text. He didn't realize how strange it was that someone had spoken at this time. Instead, it seemed that there should have been a fellow scholar beside him, and his head was not raised. A serious discussion said: "No, it shouldn't be the Monpa language family. The writing method of these characters is obviously the early engraved text. Since it is the engraved text, of course it must be interpreted in Khadgar language?"
"You only judge the language family of this language from the font, but the font of the language is meaningless, and the content is the essence of the language," Leo leaned down, reaching for a few words in the line of text that played the role of conjunctions. He pointed his finger upwards and continued: "If you look closely, you should find that these words are used to connect the entire sentence, and their frequency of occurrence is very similar to the wording pattern of the Monpa language family."
