Chapter 85: Yangmou

Because the identity of the people attending the Banquet of Silvermoon Castle is not ordinary, the security here is also very strict, even the VIPs holding special invitations can not bring weapons into the banquet.
Leo knew this beforehand, so he put the king, queen and backpack all in the old man's villa, and just went out with his twins in a glove state.
Leo was sober when he put things in the old man's mind. It's undeniable that his thoughts were more or less influenced by the affinity, but the final decision he made was through the cooling of the auxiliary brain system. The result after analysis.
Although Leo still knows nothing about the old man's true identity and other information, he can see from the attitudes shown by Anne and Rupert that the old man's identity is very unusual. According to this identity, those things are invaluable in Leo's eyes, but they are nothing in the eyes of the old man, so it is very appropriate to put them in the old man.
On his way, Leo was also thinking about why the old man would give him the invitation?
Just as the old man said, just let him observe Rupert, a supporter of the Duke of Devin up close? Leo is deeply doubtful about this.
Leo, who has always been unable to understand the old man's intentions, lowered the brim, covered his glasses, closed his eyes and meditated, guessing the old man's intentions, and ignoring Emily sitting opposite.
After Emily's initial tension and restraint, she also relaxed a little, perhaps feeling that the atmosphere in the car was a little too cold, so she had no words to ask, "Will I bring you What's the trouble?"
"Trouble?" Leo, who was out of contemplation, looked at Emily and asked, "What's the trouble?"
"Just affect your work?" Emily said with some concern: "Although you are a senior servant of the castle, but take someone to the castle banquet..."
Leo smiled and looked at the little confused woman and asked, "Who told you that I am a servant in the castle?"
"Ah?" Emily was startled again.
At this time, a carriage in front was inspected and found that the invitation was fake. The carriage was immediately taken away by the police in the Shangyue Lake District. The question inside the carriage was unknown, but he was sure of his career. It's over.
Seeing this scene, Emily looked at Leo nervously, obviously worried that Leo's invitation was the same as the man in the carriage before.
At this time, the castle manager in charge of checking the invitation led the bodyguard to Leo’s carriage. He did not show any contempt and suspicion because of Leo’s old carriage and ordinary clothes, but it was the same as checking other people’s invitations before. , Leo in the respectful car made a salute, and then lowered his posture, said: "This guest, please show your invitation, we can arrange your route to the castle."
Hearing the sound of stewardship, Emily looked nervous, lowering her head and shrinking her body into the shadow of the carriage. The way she was taken to the police station appeared in her mind.
However, what surprised her was that when the opposite Leo brought out a black invitation letter that was different from other invitations, the look on the outside manager’s face slightly changed, and then very careful hands took the invitation, carefully comparing By the way, the code in his manual.
After the result, the steward returned the invitation to Leo in a more respectful manner, turned his head to the castle security officer, and then said a few words to Leo, "Please let me guide you."
After getting permission from Leo, the steward boarded the carriage driving position, took the reins from the driver, and skillfully controlled the carriage from the many carriages on the square, and drove into an intentionally vacated entrance. Under everyone's surprised gaze, they drove into the Silver Moon Valley.
"It is a special invitation, it must be a special invitation!"
"Damn, I was right next to it. Why didn't I go up?"
"I remember someone going up."
"It seems like a woman wearing a cheap lace dress."
"That woman is so lucky."
Just after the old carriage passed through the special entrance and entered the Yinyue Valley, there was a burst of discussion sounds in the entrance square. Among these voices, there were many emotions such as envy, jealousy, and annoyance.
Emily was completely speechless at the moment. Even if she was confused, she could see that the invitation was not ordinary from the attitude of the steward, which also made her look at Leo carefully and compare his appearance and memory. Compare those big figures in Miriam City.
"This invitation was given to me by someone else." Leo guessed her thoughts from Emily's small movements and explained.
"Oh!" Emily apparently didn't stop Leo's words, still guessing Leo's identity.
Leo asked somewhat boringly: "Why would you want to attend this banquet?"
Emily hesitated for a moment, but still truthfully stated her purpose.
When Leo heard Emily's words, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, then he remembered from the memory of the body's past that it was not a shame for the people of this era to become a lover or mistress of the power, many The people at the bottom are also willing to use this relationship to obtain funding.
"Good luck." Leo did not have this kind of emotional and moral cognition when he was a bioman in the past, and now his thoughts and cognition from the previous body make him not disgusted with this behavior. I don’t approve, so I didn’t change the concept of the little woman who is willing to pay for the family.
"Thank you." Emily responded gently.
The carriage quickly drove through a tree-lined avenue. The huge trees on both sides of the road formed a natural dome, which covered the road and made the road look very dark. But when the carriage passed this dark environment, the scene ahead Suddenly bright, the intense light like the day highlights the entire Silver Moon Castle as the brightest pearl.
"Wow! It's so bright!" When the intense light came from the car window, Emily couldn't help but be curious, she put her head over and looked out, and the strong light that dotted the manor was in her eyes. She seemed to be intoxicated as if turning into gems.
Compared to Emily, who was amazed by the strong sources of light, Leo was a little surprised and puzzled by those light sources, because those light sources are very familiar with the light bulbs seen by Jean Valjean.
However, the shape of these bulbs is now much better than that of Jean Valjean's studio, and it seems that the filaments of these bulbs have also changed, using another filament that can withstand higher temperatures and is brighter.
These light bulbs are not just light sources, but also heat sources. The large number of light bulbs makes the temperature inside the manor even when it is cold, and it is not cold. Many people are willing to walk around and communicate with each other in the courtyard.
"What are these? How bright are they?" Emily asked, looking at the light bulbs hanging high on both sides of the road.
The steward sitting in the front of the car regarded the inquiry as a request of the guest, even if Emily did not meet any conditions of the guest, but he also patiently explained: "This thing is called an electric lamp, which produces strong light by electricity. "
"Electricity?" Emily couldn't help but think of the power grid outside the prison, saying, "Is the electricity used by the prison to take care of the prisoners?"
"Yes." The manager seemed to be very proud of the grand scene in front of him, saying: "This electric lamp is an invention that the owner got from an inventor, but the owner made some improvements to this invention to make it shine more brightly. Stronger and more durable, this evening's banquet is the first time the host has shown this great invention to the outside."
"What's the cost of this lamp?" Leo suddenly asked.
Obviously Leo was not the first to ask this question, and it was not a confidential matter, so the manager answered with little thought: "The cost of a single electric lamp requires two thousand gold flanges, and other supporting equipment. The cost is at least 100,000 yuan."
"What? Two thousand gold flanges?" Emily looked at the palace-like complex in the distance and asked stupefiedly: "How many electric lamps are used in Silvermoon Castle?"
"A total of 20,000." The manager said proudly.
Only Emily's heavy inhalation sound was heard in the carriage, and she saw her sitting on the chair, unable to speak for a long time, pinching her fingers and constantly calculating how much gold was spent, just with her After a long time of computing power, I didn't calculate a result, but I felt that the number was too large for her imagination.
"Forty million gold flanges?" Compared to Emily's shock, Leo was more puzzled and contemplative about such a huge amount of money.
Fighting is fighting for money. Whether in the Earth Federation or in this world, this sentence is like truth.
Although 40 million gold flanges are nothing to the finances of the great kingdoms such as the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, if all are invested in a war, such as the war between the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, then Enough to reverse the trend of war.
However, for such a huge sum of money, Rupert did not give it to Duke Derwin for war, but used it to decorate the castle. This made Leo unable to figure out what the intention was to do so.
Just when Leo was puzzled by Rupert's generous arrangement of light bulbs, Emily sitting opposite him whispered casually, Mr. Rupert Fitz was really rich, let Leo's ideas instantly Clear.
Yes, Rupert did this to inculcate the idea of ​​all guests present, that is, Rupert was rich, and the Duke of Devin he supported was also rich, and the money was enough to support them in a fight. The protracted war of attrition, no one who is against them can see any hope of victory, the only thing that can be seen is the endless consumption of money.
Even a warrior with a high fighting spirit will not have the desire to fight in the face of a war that is absolutely impossible to win, and Rupert wants to achieve this effect.
The guests he invited almost accounted for more than 90% of the entire Miriam, and half of them were officials from embassies of various countries. Under his careful arrangement, all the guests on the scene will be in a subtle manner. Being instilled with the idea of ​​continuing to fight against Rupert and Duke of Devin, there will be no possibility of victory. And this idea will be brought back to the embassy, ​​their respective institutions, their respective countries, and ultimately give Duke of Devin a victory in this smokeless war.
"Good interest!" Through the analysis of the auxiliary brain system, Leo thoroughly understood Rupert's intentions and couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Leo saw through Rupert’s ideas, there was no solution, and there were more than one person who saw Rupert’s thoughts. The owner of the invitation in his hand might have guessed Rupert the moment he received the invitation. Special intentions.
So the old man didn't even think about being here. He handed this invitation to Leo. It should also have Leo's mind to see how smart and powerful his opponent was.
After traveling a distance around a garden, the carriage came to a square in front of the courtyard.
This square is very large and is full of various high-end carriages. When Leo’s carriages are parked here, the carriages that should have been the most inconspicuous have become the most eye-catching. Almost all the carriages waiting for their owners The coachmen, all invariably put their eyes on this old carriage, as if looking at something rare.
But when they saw clearly that the man driving the carriage was in charge of the castle manor, the expression on his face immediately became more solemn and solemn, and all the disdainful expressions had converged.
The coachmen who often enter and leave the castle with the host to attend banquets are aware that there is only one kind of person who will be escorted by the castle manager. This person is a person with special invitations, and such a person is definitely not a shame for them.
After the carriage was parked in a dedicated parking space~EbookFREE.me~ The steward jumped from the front of the car, walked to the side of the door, opened the door, raised his hand towards Emily, and did a helping hand. The origin of the clothes shows a little bit of disgust and discrimination.
Emily also carefully held the hand of the steward, and walked off the carriage, seeing the driver on the other carriages all looking at her, she could not help shrinking her neck, looking around, looking for a place to avoid sight. For a while.
If Emily came down just to make the coachmen and servants present feel puzzled, then when Leo walked out of the car, guided by the stewards, the scene of entering the banquet place with Emily in the courtyard made it There was only doubt and daze left in their eyes.
The most important condition for the noble servants like them is to know people, to know the identity information of other nobles in Miria City, and to be able to recognize who this person is, what is their identity, etc. at a glance. All big men with heads and faces in Lia City can't escape these people's eyes.
But they made a mistake this time, because they found out that they didn’t know the young man who was personally received by the castle custodian, as if this person had popped out of the stone, there was no identity information, only one morning went to the commercial area The servants of the food court vaguely felt that Leo, a mysterious power, was somewhat similar to the back foodie.
