During the period of waiting for the herbal medicine to be refined into the juice, Leo was not idle. He asked the old man for the language of each country, and by rote memorization, he completed the official language and all the official countries of the mainland parliament within five days. The mainstream ancient language of the country.
Because of Leo’s amazing performance, the old man who has been a teacher has enjoyed the addiction of being a teacher. For this reason, he even moved several times to accept Leo as a formal student, but in the end he dismissed it. Compared with the pure mentor-apprentice relationship, he prefers the state of being a teacher and a friend with Leo.
Due to the support of sufficient therapeutic remedies, Leo has been sleeping for five days and remembering all the books he can see. About 50,000 rare books have been included in the vice brain database, which makes him think about this The understanding of the world has reached a very high level.
However, this does not mean that he no longer needs to continue to learn and continue to supplement the database.
On the contrary, the more knowledge of the dark world is acquired, the more he feels his ignorance and the more at a loss he is to this world.
And because he ingested a lot of knowledge and mysteries of the dark world, he found that his database was seriously unbalanced, which also affected his behavior.
There is too much dark world knowledge in the vice brain database, but the actual ordinary world knowledge is extremely scarce. As a result, he will involuntarily tend to the dark world way of thinking when thinking about problems, and this way of thinking will let him It looks very weird in front of people.
Fortunately, the old man of Rembrandt who had a similar experience discovered Leo’s mental abnormalities in time, and while helping him adjust his thinking, he also suggested that he temporarily stop the forced memory of dark world knowledge and supplement the real world first. Basic knowledge, to eliminate the negative effects caused by dark world knowledge.
"I need you to issue a reading permit to read all the books in the public library." At noon on the sixth day of staying in the villa, Leo, who had adjusted his way of thinking back to normal, learned that Rembrandt was the world library The honorary chairman of the association asked him.
"It's okay." The old man took a copy of the World Library Association reading card that seemed to have been prepared directly from the drawer, quickly signed the name on the certificate, then stamped it, handed it to Leo, and said : "With this certificate, you can read books of various confidential levels in the libraries of all the associations in the world. There are no restrictions. I have only issued four such reading certificates in my life. This is the fifth one. I hope you can make good use of it. Remember, the body is decaying and the knowledge is eternal."
Leo took the document with a solemn face and carefully received it in the shirt pocket inside.
While Leo still wanted to say something to the old man, Vaschi still sorrowed, walked into the study, handed a letter to Leo, and said: "Someone just came here , Indicate to you that the person who sent the letter is a senior sheriff with three bars and one flower."
"Yong Baili!" Leo almost certainly didn't need to think about who this letter came from. Apart from Yong Baili, who in the entire city of Miria can instruct such a senior sheriff to be a postman?
"How is the situation outside?" Leo asked Vasque.
"Very calm," Vaschi replied coldly.
"Very calm?" Leo didn't think it would be such an answer. It stands to reason that at this moment, the forces of all parties should be invincible. The army entered the city to take over everything. The mainland parliament was forced to evacuate. Whatever can't be calm. Two words are related.
"Do you know what a mature politician is best at?" The old man suddenly asked Leo a headless question.
Leo froze for a moment, contemplating for a moment and said, "Compromise."
The old man was also surprised that Leo was able to answer, and then he returned to his normal look. After all, Leo has seen enough magical things in front of him in recent days. Surprised.
"Good! It's a compromise." The old man of Rembrandt nodded, took a copy from a pile of newspapers and handed it to Leo.
Leo took a look at the newspaper and saw the headline in the newspaper. It was a situation analysis chart of the heir to the imperial throne. In this analysis chart, the advantages of Duke Derwin had far exceeded that of the newspaper. The other two heirs.
According to the current situation, as long as sixteen hereditary nobles and twenty military hereditary nobles arrived in Qi, the noble council was convened according to the past practice, and Duke of Devin became the emperor of the French Empire.
"Even the military aristocracy has stood on the side of the Duke of Derwin." Leo put down the newspaper in his hand and asked: "If the above content is true, these two heirs to the throne should have no chance of turning over. "
"Isn't it really?" The old man said in a deep voice: "You haven't watched it carefully, then it's all the expression of the eastern continent, what about the western continent?"
Leo wondered: "Is there a Rupert Fitz in the Western Continent? These are all planned for the Duke of Devine, he can never let his plan fail!"
"You are still not used to looking at things to find the essence. Although you have found the key points, you have misjudged." The old man smiled and pointed: "No matter what Rupert did, who is on his side, his essence They are all businessmen. In the eyes of businessmen, everything in the world can be measured by money, and the least money can be used to get the most benefits. This is the essence of every qualified businessman."
Speaking, he saw that the old man took out an autobiographical book published by Rupert a few years ago and handed it to Leo, saying: "When Rupert invested in the Duke of Devine, it was exactly the most difficult for Duke of Devine. At the time, he invested the least amount of money to support the Duke of Devine through the difficulties, and he gained great benefits when the Duke of Devine rose. Later, Duke of Devin committed crimes and was driven out of the winter by Louis IX Rin city, but he still did not give up the Duke of Derwin, and continued to increase investment, so that Duke of Derwin gained the current territory, and his strength steadily increased. As a result, he also obtained the commercial franchise of the Duke of Derwin’s territory and expanded it His business network in the Western Continent has become the current business giant."
Leo listened to the old man’s narrative, looked down at the determined man on the cover of the book in his hand, and said in a deep voice:
It’s hard for him to change his investment target and get more benefits?
"Duke Derwin became the emperor of the French Empire. No matter how much he invested, Rupert couldn't get any greater benefits. And with Duke Derwin's personality and character, he would never allow a person like Rupert to have a great sense of empire. People with strong influence exist." When the old man mentioned Rupert, there was a little more pride and pride in his face. "This question of survival has existed from the beginning. Rupert knows this very well, so he I found a way out early."
"Three-tier parliamentary system." Leo Shen said.
"Good!" The old man nodded and said, "It's just that it's not appropriate to rely solely on the merchants, civilians and nobles of the Western Continent to form a three-tier council. There is no legitimacy, so you need to find a council that can be given to the third-tier council Orthodox people."
Leo could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, because he already knew the follow-up, and his eyes fell on the newspaper. The other two heirs to the throne who were far behind and had almost no win rate, were silent for a while. Some incredulously said: "Is it difficult for him to have planned from the beginning?"
The old man was silent for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know, but from the perspective of the development of the matter, I can always feel that someone is pushing in secret. Besides him, I can't think of anyone else who has this. Vision and wisdom."
Leo looked down at the letter he had just received but did not open it, wondering: "But what does this have to do with me? They can just negotiate on their own, why..."
"You are an accident, an accident that is enough to affect all changes in the situation." Before Leo finished, the old man pointed his finger at Leo's chest and said seriously: "In fact, the moment you killed the president of the Skeleton Club , You have caused damage to Rupert’s plan, he should have wanted to borrow the power of the Skull and Bones and continue to occupy a place in the situation in the city of Miria, but your appearance has changed his plan. However, This has not changed much, and he didn’t care, but the real fatal thing is the ability that you showed when assassinating those people in the dark world a few days ago. It’s the ability to kill an enemy silently over a thousand meters away. It is enough to pose a threat to anyone, so without your threat being eliminated, any negotiation or any plan may cause unexpected unexpected events."
Leo's face dimmed, and the murderous intention in his eyes rolled, saying, "They want to kill me?"
Although the old man has seen all kinds of people, people like Leo who have such a strong murder intention have never seen it. Even Vasqi, who knows that Leo will not be harmful to the old man, is still being Affected by the killing intention, the hand could not help but rest on the weapon in the waist.
"It should not be." The old man shook his head and said, "You have no hatred with them now. It is the most stupid way to drive you to a dead end. The wisdom of the smart people of Rupert and Yongberg is impossible. I can’t see the shortcomings. Since Yong Berry sent you a letter, there must be some ideas to appease you, and they will never be able to be against you before the last resort." Then he smiled and said: "I have to say that you let me see another magical thing. The power of one person directly forced the two big men in the Western Continent to take the initiative to appease you, which is really incredible!"
Leo ignored the old man's ridicule, opened the letter in his hand, and took out a note from the inside, and saw an address written on it. He remembered that this place was a small block from the embassy district of the Kingdom of Marais, away from the embassy district The landmark Boulder Palace is not far away.
The old man also saw the address on the sticky note and said, "This seems to be the place where Anne and your comrades are hiding."
"What does he mean? Are you threatening me?" Leo frowned and said coldly.
"I don't think so." The old man took the note and turned his face.
I saw a signature on the sticky note, because it was the type of aristocratic font, Leo could not understand it, but the old man could understand it, and there was a little surprised expression on his face.
Leo questioned: "Do you recognize these names?"
The old man put the sticky note on the table and said, "Philip Capello, Prince Puerto, one of the three heirs to the throne, and a member of the royal family supported by Baron Maupassant."
Leo frowned: "Isn't he supposed to be in Dongling City at this time?"
"The fog in the Black Forest has made message transmission a lot more difficult." The old man said solemnly: "It seems that Winter City has already achieved results." Then, he paused and said, "Including me, Lu Including Burt, everyone underestimated the Duke of Derwin. He did not expect that he could kick all the heirs to the throne so quickly."
Suddenly Leo came up with an idea and said, "Wouldn't he want me to go to the winter city to help him assassinate the Duke of Devin?"
"It is possible." In the case of insufficient data, the old man was unable to make any useful judgments. He said: "I suggest you go and explore the situation."
Leo was silent for a moment, stood up, took off the windbreaker from the hanger, put on a hat, and put on all the equipment. UU reading www.uukanshu.com seems to be a war preparation.
Although the old man felt that nothing would happen, he also agreed with Leo's approach.
After wearing it, Leo left the villa directly. When he saw Leo's figure disappearing at the end of the street in the villa area, Vaschi suddenly said: "Do you want me..."
The old man shook his head and said, "No! There are too many people looking at me. I don't want to intervene in things like this, and he doesn't need us to do anything."
After leaving from the villa, Leo was preparing to stop a carriage on the street outside to the address on the note, but a carriage drove from not far away at this time, stopped beside Leo, and then he saw Annie reached out from the window and said, "Get in the car!"
Leo boarded the carriage and looked at Annie seriously. After the carriage drove out of the villa area of Xiayue Lake, he said, "Can you tell me what happened before reaching your destination?"
Annie froze for a while, and said, "Is it difficult for the old man not to analyze it for you in the villa area? Is this old guy the best to analyze the world situation?"
Leo Shen said: "Analysis, but I still hope to hear something from you."
Anne didn’t have much nonsense, and the sentence said simply:
It’s very simple, the battle for the throne is over before the official start. One of the heirs failed to reconcile, fled here, and then opened up to some ambitions and patriots. The conditions that could not be rejected turned the enemy into an ally." Then, she sneered disdainfully and said, "This is politics."
"What do they want to do?" Leo asked again.
"Unclear." Anne shook her head and reminded again: "But the people from the embassy of the Kingdom of England are here."
Hearing the news, Leo didn't speak anymore, but leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and raising his mind.
