Chapter 497: Invitations, letters and death

After returning to the apartment, Leo casually dropped the invitation on the table, let the butler prepare hot water, freshen it out, and after coming out of the bathroom, the butler waited at the door, holding a tray with a cup and a letter on his hand letter.
Leo took a drink from the glass and took another look at the letter. He found that there was no information on it. He could not help but asked the steward and said, "Who sent this?"
"After you leave, put it in the mailbox." The butler replied: "It has been tested and there is no danger on the surface, but the envelope is a French Empire Misia envelope, which is only used by nobles."
"French empire?" Leo had a figure in his mind, then waved to the butler to signal that he could go down, and then returned to the room with an envelope and a wine glass, sitting at the desk.
After cutting the envelope with a paper knife, Leo took out a piece of hard cardboard with only one address written on it, No. 137, Long Palm Street, Pender Port, Kingdom of Marais.
Although it is just a simple address, Leo already knows who sent this letter. Another note with the same font was sent to him with the king and queen not long ago. He put it in the box.
‘A kingdom of Marais again? Why is it so coincident? 'Leo looked at the letter in his hand with some doubt. He turned to look at the invitation card. He felt that this fact was too coincidental. He got an auction from the black market that would be held in the Kingdom of Marais. At the invitation, a letter written in the port city of the Kingdom of Marais was delivered to him in the back foot. This was an incredible coincidence.
If it is, most people would think that this is just a coincidence. After all, life has to experience one or two such coincidences, but Leo is different, he is more rational in thinking, and the Earth Federation has experienced a lot of experiments to prove that the so-called coincidences are not coincidences .
In the research, scientists found that there are many factors that caused the coincidence. Either it was an accident or a decision that was inadvertently made in the past, and it became a coincidence through a series of subsequent developments, or it was the coincidence that was in advance. Arranged.
All in all, there is no coincidence that is based on the laws of nature. The reason why it is a coincidence is that there is no original factor that can cause coincidence.
Leo put down the letter in his hand, turned to pick up the invitation, opened it and looked at it carefully. It was still an address above, but it was just the address of the city of Pado in the Kingdom of Marais.
Although the invitation looks very simple, it seems that as long as the invitation is taken to the above address to participate in the auction, in fact, the moment the invitation was opened, Leo found that the decorative patterns on the surface of the invitation were hidden Other content.
Leo soon began to crack the pattern, and while cracking, he was surprised by the knowledge of the person who designed the invitation, because he found no less than seven ancient languages ​​in the pattern, and after these languages ​​were combined, A new address has been formed. This address is also in Padu City, but just changed a new urban area, and there is still a time at the new address. The time is three months later.
Seeing here, Leo also learned that this is a black market method of testing whether the invitee is eligible to participate in the auction. If he did not find the secret in the pattern, he went to the invitation at the wrong time. At that address, you may also participate in an auction, but you will not see what he wants at the auction.
"Three months are enough." Leo received the invitation again, calculated the time a little, and said to himself.
In the past, it would take more than two months to travel to the Minsk mainland from the Kingdom of Inge to the sea. This is still in good weather. If the storm is encountered and the ship is damaged at sea, you need to go to the nearest The port was repaired so that more time was spent on the road.
However, now that he has an ocean-going ship that combines machinery and sails, the speed is much faster, and after being compressed to more than half a month, he still has enough time to prepare.
In fact, before seeing this letter from Sylvia, Leo already had the idea of ​​leaving for Minsk, but this was not entirely for the auction, but more for the disappearance of civilization in the desert. , He thinks maybe something interesting can be found there.
Leo temporarily arranged his time to travel to Minsk mainland half a month later. In this case, he also had enough time to deal with Sylvia and the auction.
After the decision was made, Leo called the housekeeper and asked him to book an ocean-going ship ticket to Minsk mainland half a month later.
"Half a month," the housekeeper thought a little after hearing the command, and said: "After half a month, a new ocean liner of Nova Shipping will start its maiden flight, which is said to be the most luxurious and fastest in the world. 'S steamship is fully powered by steam engines and has no sails. Would you like to take that steamship?"
"Inaugural flight? Nova Shipping?" Leo frowned slightly, thinking for a moment, and asked, "Is this shipping company once a company belonging to the Royal Shipping Group?"
"Yes." The housekeeper nodded and said, "Novastar Shipping was originally a company of the Royal Marine Group, but the royal family is only the company's largest shareholder, not an absolute shareholder. A few days ago, Nova Shipping The second largest shareholder seems to have received a large amount of funds. With this capital, he acquired a large number of retail stocks from the market and became an absolute controlling company. The royal family sold the shares of Xinxing Company because it lost absolute control. Now Nova is an independent company."
After Leo listened, he was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Don't book a ticket for that new ship, book tickets for other ships!"
"Okay, sir." After the butler got a response, although he was puzzled by Leo's decision, he still suppressed the doubts in his mind and retreated without asking anything.
Leo made such a decision naturally with his ideas. In his view, Nova Shipping Company's separation from the Royal Marine Group is really something wrong, because the royal family itself is not short of money, whether it is the wealth accumulated by the royal family in the past, or after receiving the Poseidon scepter The huge profits gained by the ocean trade monopolized during the storm period are enough to support the royal family's acquisition of a dozen large companies like Nova Shipping.
However, this time it was too sudden for Nova Shipping to break away from royal control. In a short period of time, it wiped out the stocks of retail investors in the market and obtained absolute control. It is absolutely impossible for such a large-scale operation to be silent. Therefore, the royal family must also know the news, but the royal family did not do anything to allow the new star company to acquire enough retail stocks and become an absolute holding company. This is contrary to common sense.
If it is said that Xinxing Shipping Company is a company with severe losses and poor performance, Xinxing Shipping Company is actually one of the three major ocean passenger transportation companies in the Kingdom of England. Its annual performance is very good, and its profits are extremely amazing. Yu Li's royal family, which is committed to regaining sea power, should not let big companies such as Nova Shipping Company leave its control.
But the fact is that the company is indeed out of control of the royal family, and the royal family does not seem to have done any resistance, honestly withdrew from the new company, this behavior makes people think that the royal family is collectively demented, at least Lei This was the first thought that Ou had just heard after hearing this news.
If the royal family is not collectively turned into a low-energy, then the royal family should have other deep meanings, and at this time Leo can't help but think of a person who seems to have nothing to do with this matter.
He thought about the experience of the heel Bondi and the sacrifice of Poseidon, which made him feel that Nova's first voyage of the luxury ocean liner may be a big sacrifice that the royal family manipulated behind.
Obviously, the royal family had already removed itself from this incident in advance, and the sacrifice was finally successful. Those relatives and friends of the sacrificed people could not send their anger to the royal family, and they would only go to the new star company.
If it was before going to Death Valley, Leo might still have the idea of ​​doing more business. On board the first voyage vessel, in the process of being sacrificed, he may be able to discover more mysteries related to this world.
But now, the most important thing for Leo is to go to the wilderness of Mosang mainland, find the lake where the tree-planted seeds are planted, and find the spaceship that is intact.
In the following days, Leo continued to stay at home and read the notes of Sir Roland. On the third day of Leo’s deposit, the black market sent all kinds of wasteland materials they could collect to Leo’s apartment, Leo’s The research focus has also begun to deflect to the wasteland.
However, a few days later, an unexpected news disrupted Leo's life pattern.
"Sir Roland is dead?" Leo, holding the newly delivered newspaper from the housekeeper, was unbelievable when he saw the obituary on the newspaper with a full page.
The steward said: "It is not just the obituary published by the Port Sait News, but also the obituaries of Sir Roland published in other major national newspapers, which should be true."
"What is the cause of death?" Leo frowned and looked carefully at the obituary, questioning.
"It won't be written above, nor will the cause of death be written in the public obituary according to the rules." The butler reminded Leo and asked again: "Do I need to check it?"
"Can you find it?" Leo asked.
The butler thought for a moment and said, "The editor of the Inge communique should find some information."
"Then check it out." Leo nodded, and after commanding, his eyes fell on the note of Sir Roland.
Although Sir Roland is dead, no matter what he thinks, he can no longer continue, but this does not mean that this note is useless, but this note may also hide some interesting secrets.
Now, Leo guessed that this note might have been sent to him intentionally by Sir Roland, and the purpose was not to allow him to interpret the content of the note, but to keep it temporarily because he found his situation was dangerous, so I want to give the most important things to the trustworthy person for the time being.
However, if Sir Roland is in danger, then his friends will certainly be stared at, and give things to his friends, I am afraid they will also fall into the hands of the watchdog, so only have amazing knowledge and old friends Rembrandt Leo, who has a student relationship with the old man, is the right person. After all, he and Leo are not friends, and no one will monitor.
About a few hours later, after the butler returned from outside and gave the coat to the maid, he went directly to Leo's study and told Leo about the news he got from the Inge communiqué.
"Curse?" Leo was stunned when he heard the news.
"Yes, curse." The housekeeper nodded and added: "It wasn't investigated afterwards, it was said by Sir Roland before he died."
The butler then told the story of Sir Roland's death more carefully.
It turned out that after leaving the Kingdom of England, Sir Roland went directly to the Kingdom of America and California with the Roosevelt family and lived temporarily in the manor of the Roosevelt family.
During this period, Sir Roland was invited by the National School of History of the United States and California to participate in a study on the ancient civilization relics of the Mozambican continent. Afterwards, Sir Roland suddenly became ill and had to give up his research and recuperate at Roosevelt Manor. More than a month of cultivation, not only did his condition not improve, but it worsened. In the end, his condition deteriorated to an extreme outbreak, completely killing Sir Roland’s life, and when Sir Roland died, he suddenly shouted that it was Curse, he died.
It is precisely because of the cry that Sir Roland shouted before his death that other people outside believed that Sir Roland’s illness was related to the research of ancient civilization relics he participated in, and the curse originated from that ancient civilization relic.
For this reason, the Kingdom of America and Canada had to stop the ongoing research and temporarily seal the ancient civilization relic.
"Do you think this is a curse?" Leo asked silently after listening to the detailed narration.
The housekeeper was a little bit startled, and considered it for a while, saying: "It should not be, because according to the news over there, only Sir Roland was sick and died of all the people involved in the study~EbookFREE.me~ If it was a curse , Other people who have been in contact with the relics of ancient civilizations should also get sick and guess right, so many people think that it may be that other things caused Sir Roland to die."
"The curse is not a germ and cannot be transmitted to all contacts." Leo shook his head, dismissing the housekeeper's speculation, and then indicating that the housekeeper could leave, and he sat at the desk and carefully considered the cause of Sir Roland's death.
Although he only heard news from his housekeeper, Leo, after analysis, felt that if all the news was true, then Sir Roland should have died from a curse, and he was probably studying the ancient civilization. When the relics were inadvertently touched the curse power contained in the objects, and became the only research participant who died.
But compared to Sir Roland's death, Leo somehow feels that Sir Roland may not have died. The so-called death is nothing more than a drama, and the reason is temporarily unclear.
