Although the old steward of the Alcott family is only a servant in terms of identity, he is a servant with noble status and has served three generations of the ruler of the seventh lake town. The status is not weaker than those of the top family members, and even some aspects of the power are still far above those of the family members, which has won the trust of the rulers of the seventh town on the seventh lake.
For a long time, this old steward's attitude almost represented Andre XIII's attitude, so the old steward's every move naturally attracted the attention of the nobles here.
At this time, some nobles recognized that Leo had sold a batch of therapeutic medicaments a few days ago, and now this attitude of the old housekeeper makes them can't help thinking, coupled with some recent rumors, making them involuntarily The two link up and start to produce some interesting ideas.
Before entering the lunar period, the health of Andre XIII had become the focus of nobility in the city. At that time, Andre XIII suddenly handed over the management of several factories to his two grown sons, and it seemed that he wanted to choose heirs among them.
For the eight other noble families in the city, every change of the seventh heir to the Alcott family means that the power within the eight noble families has changed, and the relationship between the eight noble families and the heir to Alcott It also means that the status of the noble family in the seventh town on the seventh lake in the next few decades.
This time the Alcott family held a silver moon banquet in accordance with the convention. In addition to the banquet, the invited nobles wanted to attack some people’s prestige and enhance their status, but also wanted to try to see if they could listen to it. The health situation of Andre XIII, so these caring people are very sensitive to everything related to Andre XIII's health.
Leo appeared as a merchant in the seventh lake town, and he was so amazing as soon as he shot, ten treatment remedies very rare in the first lake town, which caused many people to guess whether Leo was behind him. Stand a pharmacist or wizard who can make wizard potions in batches.
The Alcott family bought four out of ten, and Witzmir gave the three potions as gifts to the Alcott family, thereby obtaining the purchase authority for a number of special springs. These things were all seen by the nobles in the city. In their eyes, they also guessed that these potions were prepared for Andre XIII.
And now, Sir Vescheck, the housekeeper of the seventh Alcott family, personally came out to greet the outsider who claimed to be a merchant, and it seems that the other party was allowed to carry contraband including weapons and enter the manor with all kinds of extraordinary treatment. All the onlookers felt that the seventh Alcott family attached extraordinary importance and respect to this person.
This can't help but make people doubt. Andre XIII may be looking for this mysterious dealer, such as asking the wizard or pharmacist behind the dealer to order special treatments, and this guess can't help but feel Ander Lie XIII's body is probably already very bad.
Because of their special status, the Alcott family in Ten Towns has dedicated pharmacists in the Yinyuecheng Pharmacists Association to regulate their bodies. Only when these pharmacists are helpless, they will turn to other people, especially the wizards of the wizarding association, so the unintentional actions of the old housekeepers have made the nobles who are interested think a lot.
However, as the party's old butler, Sir Veschek, did not know his unintentional actions, which made many self-righteous nobles think too much, and even made some wrong judgments. However, even if he knew that his actions had caused a bad influence, I am afraid he would not change it, and may even contribute to it. After all, a peaceful noble circle is not in the interest of the Alcott family.
Therefore, in the eyes of the old housekeeper, as long as the Alcott family stands, what will happen to the other nine so-called noble families in the city, even if they are all dead, does not matter.
Under the deliberate guidance of the old housekeeper, Leo and Witzmir staggered the path where other servants led the merchants, but instead directly crossed a flower path to the manor house not far away.
Witzmir didn’t feel anything about the garden path, but Leo could feel that while walking on this road, a disturbance field caused his spiritual network to fail, and there was also a spiritual wave similar to the spiritual network. He swept over him to check his body and his backpack.
Leo did not resist this psionic wave, but let it sweep across his body, but instead the animal skin in his backpack automatically shielded the psionic wave after contacting it, so that the other party lost the psionic wave this time. effect.
After walking through the garden path, the wave of spirit energy also disappeared. At this time, the scene in front was suddenly bright, and various gorgeous lamps filled the entire courtyard of the villa. The people who arrived first had already gathered in groups at the dining table. Beside, while eating the food on the table, while talking in a whisper.
What makes Leo feel a little incredible is that he can hear every word spoken by the nobles who are talking, but he is at a loss as to the meaning of their words, as if the language they use has another set of meaning rules. For example, there are several nobles who talked clearly about the delicious food, but from their appearance and tone, they can feel that these words are definitely not what they seem to sound like, and they seem to be arguing about some kind of life and death. general.
In the courtyard, there are many people like Leo who are at a loss to the content of these noble conversations. It is not difficult to guess from their brave courage and complete ancestral body that they have not completely dissipated. These people may be those The new nobleman who won the noble title by collecting the merits from guarding the castle in the fog zone.
If you have a choice, Leo will definitely stay in this banquet courtyard, talk to these new nobles, and try to draw the mysterious fog area and guard the castle from these populations.
Unfortunately, after entering the courtyard, the old housekeeper did not bring Leo and Witzmir to the main banquet place, but from another fork, bypassed the main building and walked to the side building on the side, and was also servant There are other merchants invited to the banquet for people who are taken to the deputy building.
"It seems that the person who invited us didn't seem to be the adult." After discovering the situation, Witzmir frowned slightly, leaned over to Leo and whispered.
"Who do you think it will be?" Leo nodded thoughtfully and asked again.
Witzmir was silent for a moment, and soon thought of something, said: "Steam car."
"The youngest son of Andre XIII?" Leo said in his mind what Witzmir had said before. Although he did not understand why Witzmir thought so, he was also very clear about what is happening now. , Just nod in agreement.
Witzmir apparently didn’t see Leo’s details. He simply thought that Leo was just like he thought. When he was about to say something, he seemed to be worried about the old housekeeper and closed his mouth that had just been opened. He got up, and gave Leo a look that he thought Leo would understand, and then silently followed behind the old housekeeper.
The three Leo, together with other businessmen and leading servants, quickly walked from the neatly arranged stone road to the villa's auxiliary building, and when they saw the shape of the auxiliary building, they could not help frowning because the deputy The style of the building is really not in line with their aesthetics. They feel that this luxurious villa should look as simple as the ordinary buildings in the outer city.
However, Leo was an exception. After seeing this villa, the whole person could not help but stunned for a while, his face was hard to conceal and he was surprised, with a smile on his face.
The reason why Leo will show a very different expression and emotion from everyone is entirely because the appearance of the building in front of him is exactly the same as the 9th Golden Oak Street in Velon World. The only difference is that some are used for decoration The relief on the outer wall and the eaves statue are different.
"What's the shape of this house... why is it so weird?" Leo asked, deliberately showing doubts, as if talking to himself.
The old housekeeper who led the way did not answer, but Witzmir on the side responded: "You also think this house is weird? This is the masterpiece of the young master. I heard that in order to build this house, the young master It was very unpleasant with other members of the Alcott family."
"It's him." Leo said in his heart. At this moment, he was very sure that the youngest son of Andre XIII should be the one who can enter the world of Velon, which also made him look forward to meeting him more.
Speaking of words, under the guidance of the old housekeeper, Leo and Witzmir entered the building and were taken to the living room on the side, and this living room happened to be Leo, the wilderness shaman. People who tread and other Velen dark worlds enter the dream hall when they enter the dream world.
At this moment, about a dozen businessmen from different places have gathered in the room. These businessmen seem to know Witzmir and come forward to greet them. Although there are some people who want to make friends with Leo, they are discouraged by Leo's skin color. They simply say hello and turn their attention to Witzmir.
For Leo, he was happy, which gave him extra energy to do other things, such as observing the large and small paintings in the room.
These paintings are very interesting. All of them are landscape paintings such as mountains and rivers. Although the trees and flowers in the painting are different from this dream world, it is not a big problem. What really makes Leo interesting is painting. The author outlined the sunlight with a lot of gold, yellow and red paint.
For the inhabitants of the dream world who have lived in the darkness of the night and have only seen the moonlight and never seen the sun, these paintings are really absurd. If it is not the name of the painter under the painting, it will play a role. No one in this room will take a look at these paintings.
"Peter Alcott." Although the signature was a twisted swash, Leo was still able to recognize it.
Seeing this signature, Leo felt very interesting. According to a book that records surnames, ordinary people in the dream world are like freemen in the Velon world. They only have names, no surnames, and only nobles have their own surnames. Even if they have the power not weaker than the nobles like Witzmir, they still do not qualify for a surname.
All hereditary aristocratic descendants, including the Alcott family, are not considered aristocracy before they reach adulthood, and will be assigned to a certain position in the town guard after adulthood. Only after a certain period of work can they obtain the status of nobility. Only then can the family name be given.
Although this practice is only a formal one until now, almost all the positions of noble descendants in the city guards are civilian, and there will be no danger, but because of certain mentality reasons, they have regarded this experience as Shame for life.
Therefore, before taking up their positions, most of them will give themselves a fake name, and after obtaining the noble surname, they will use it back to the original name, and the fake name will be engraved on a tombstone together with the guard position All the clothes used sink into the lake together.
Because it is a fake name, these nobles will not spend too much time on this name that is destined to be discarded~EbookFREE.me~ Most of them will randomly choose one from the fake names used by the previous nobility, This also makes the phenomenon of duplicate names a lot.
Among these commonly used fake names, the name Peter is the one most commonly used by the ten town nobles. According to the statistics of a boring scholar in Silver Moon City, nobles who used the fake name of Peter accounted for more than 70% of all nobles in all towns of the Lake Union, so in the nobility circle, the name Peter became a symbol of filth over time. .
However, it is surprising that a member of the Alcott family, and a member of the heirs, would give himself such a name. I am afraid that the Alcott family also regards this matter as a taboo. Even when Vitzmir mentioned Peter Alcott before, he was only saying that he was the little boy of Andre XIII. Son, instead of calling his name and title.
After a while, seven or eight merchants were brought here one after another, and more than forty merchants had already gathered in the room, which can be said to be almost all the foreign merchants that can be found in the seventh lake town.
What is interesting is that these traders seem to know each other, and it is not difficult to hear from the words they talked to. They all have a master behind them. The purpose of coming to the town on the seventh lake is not the same as Witzmir, not just for certain transactions. More is to explore the way for the master behind them.
As for the purpose of pathfinding, although none of them explicitly mentioned it, Leo was able to see from some of Witzmir's attitudes that the people present seemed to be all for the mysterious thing he didn't know yet.
A dance song sounded at the noble banquet in the main hall, indicating that when the noble ball at the banquet officially started, the door of the room was pushed open again, and a young man who looked very thin was sitting in a wheelchair and was dressed by a nun. The maid in the suit pushed in.
