Chapter 189: Additional Deals
"Do you remember?" Leo asked in a deep voice at Peter Alcott's words, not showing any unusual expression, still calm as usual.
On the contrary, Peter Alcott was very surprised by Leo's performance, stunned, the smile on his face also retracted, nodded and said, "Just remember one thing, not much!
Leo asked again, "That should have been when you were a child, you can still remember it now, can you remember everything you saw before?"
Peter Alcott explains: "I went to a world in my dreams, and the people of that world were very good at mind spells, and they had a school of thought that everyone's memories would not disappear, but would only be stored in another form, and if you master the method, you can recall it again, and I happened to learn this method. ”
"How do you think you're not a real person?" asked Leo.
"When you put all kinds of information together, you can find a lot of hidden things. Peter Alcott returned Leo's words as they were.
"Sometimes the information is not necessarily reliable, and the sources are too one-sided," Leo retorted, "so your conclusions are a little too early." ”
In the face of Leo's rebuttal, Peter Alcott did not say anything, not because he thought that what Leo said was right, but because he did not think there was any need to argue about this, even if Leo was correct, he now had no way back but to move on.
He didn't want to discuss with Leo about whether this world was real or not, whether there were people here, and other philosophical issues, so he directly shifted to the topic he was interested in, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still recognize our previous deal?"
Leo reassured Peter Alcot and said, "Of course I will admit it, but rest assured that since I promised to bring your puppet maid into the wasteland, I will definitely abide by it." ”
Hearing this, Peter Alcott nodded slightly, and then said, "I want to add a little more add-on to this deal." Of course, I will also pay for this additional transaction. ”
"Tell me about it. Leo looked at Peter Alcott with interest.
Peter Alcott said, "I hope that when you enter the ruined capital, you will protect me and help me find an item. ”
Leo smiled and asked, "What can I get?"
Peter Alcott could see a hint of disdain in Leo's smile and a look of displeasure in his eyes, but he continued: "I'll tell you the way to leave this world and return to your original world. ”
Leo was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "Not to mention whether you really know the way to leave this world, even if you do, I may not be able to use it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Peter Alcott, only to see that a metal ball covered with mysterious patterns and emitting a faint light suddenly appeared in his originally empty hand, and said, "Do you know what this thing is? If you know, then you will know that your trading conditions are not worth mentioning." ”
"Is this a space marker?" Peter Alcott had a huge amount of knowledge that even the ten chief wizards of the Wizarding Guild together might not always have, so he naturally easily recognized what the metal ball in Leo's hand was.
After saying that, Peter Alcott knew in his heart that the biggest hole card he had used to entrust Leo had expired, and this situation was not the same as what he had seen in his dreams, which also made him feel a little more panicked, fortunately he was a puppet face, otherwise, the abnormal emotions in his heart would have been written on his face by now.
Peter Alcott doesn't seem to be good at negotiating things like that, he uses his foresight to have an absolute advantage in negotiations, and then puts forward a condition that the other party can't refuse, and finally closes the deal.
But now an accident appeared, and his prophetic preconception was a little wrong, and he thought that the conditions that Leo could not refuse were invalid, which made him not know how to deal with it for a while, so he could only use the most direct way and ask directly: "What kind of conditions do you want to agree to me?"
Leo shook his head and said, "Don't talk about trading just yet, I'm curious why you suddenly want to change the terms of your previous trade? With your wisdom, shouldn't you think about the terms of the transaction in advance?" or ......" As he spoke, he paused, looked at Peter Alcott with deep meaning, and said, "Or did you have an accident?" ”
Peter Alcott's puppet face couldn't make any expressions, but his mood had been leaked by the unintentional smart eyes of ordinary people, and the eyes he looked at Leo were a little more surprised than the original vigilance.
After a moment of silence, Peter Alcot knew that Leo had seen through some of the truth, and it was useless for him to continue to hide it, and the current situation was really bad, so he still chose to follow the situation in the dream prophecy and chose to believe Leo.
I saw that he sorted out his words a little, and said: "There are indeed some accidents, originally according to my prediction, the transformation ceremony should have been completed smoothly, I can not only temporarily parasitize in Xiri's body, but also have the power of my soul and the power of Xirui's body at the same time, and then my strength will be enough to deal with any danger in the waste capital." As he spoke, his eyes were full of resentment, he took a deep breath and continued: "It's just that in the process of the ritual, the executioners of the Chaos Society did not complete the final ritual and let the corpse collector get out of the shackles in advance, and my strength did not completely transition to my current body, but all of them were integrated into this world like other family members of the Olcott who died. ”
When Peter Alcott said this, Leo also remembered the scene he had seen a few days ago, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, because he knew very well that the interruption of the ritual of the Chaos Executioner was related to himself, and it could even be said that he had caused it.
And now Peter Alcott, who was supposed to be a debt collector, has to ask him for help, which makes him feel a little weird.
It's just that this strange emotion only stayed in his heart for less than two seconds before dissipating, and his face remained calm, and he continued to ask casually, "What are you looking for in the wasteland?"
Peter Alcott didn't answer the question immediately, and there was a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if he didn't want to say it.
Leo was well aware of the other party's concerns, so he explained: "You only have to tell me what you are looking for, I can evaluate the value of the thing and give the right trading terms, otherwise, if I ask for an exaggerated condition, you will not be satisfied." ”
Peter Alcott nodded slightly, agreeing with Leo's statement, so he decided to say truthfully: "A feather, I want you to help me find a feather." ”
"A feather?" Leo was stunned for a moment, he remembered where he seemed to have heard of it.
Peter Alcott thought that Leo did not understand his words, so he explained in detail: "This feather is very special and cannot be described in words, but anyone who sees it will think that it is a feather, and no other image will be produced in the mind, so it will never be misunderstood." ”
As Peter Alcott explained, Leo remembered somewhere he had heard similar conditions. This was the condition that the old man Rembrandt had put on him. However, Rembrandt's condition was to find a feather at 9 Golden Oak Street, but Leo felt that the feather that Peter Alcott was talking about now was the same thing as the feather.
"Is there anything special about this feather?" asked Leo, slightly curious.
Peter Alcott hesitated for a moment, and said somewhat casually: "Legend has it that this feather belongs to an ancient god, and those who possess this feather can gain power beyond life and death. ”
Leo frowned and said, "Vague statement." ”
"It's very vague indeed. Either he was worried that Leo would covet the true power of this item, or he himself didn't know exactly what this item was and what kind of power it had, so Peter Alcott didn't continue to explain, just casually catered to Leo's statement, and then asked, "...... our deal?"
"I promise you a deal," Leo didn't think much about it, he replied, "My trading conditions are very simple, that is, a few days before going to the wasteland, you must teach me your knowledge, you don't necessarily need you to teach all of them, in these few days, you can teach as much as I can learn, what do you think of this condition?"
Peter Alcott couldn't help but be stunned after listening to Leo's conditions, not because of how harsh the conditions Leo proposed, but because he felt that the conditions were too simple.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Leo's learning ability is, it is impossible to learn all the knowledge he has accumulated from various worlds over the years in these few days, even one percent of the content will take years to really master, so he subconsciously thinks that Leo is deliberately helping him.
However, Peter Alcott never seemed to have imagined that Leo would have such a magical thing as a second brain, and the amount of learning depends entirely on Peter Alcott's teaching efficiency, if Peter Alcot teaches quickly, then it is not difficult to learn the knowledge accumulated by the other party from countless spatial civilizations for decades in a few days.
Although, Leo also knows very well in his heart that the conditions he opened are much worse than the mysterious feather in terms of pure value, but many birds in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand, and whether the feather can be found is still an unknown, rather than putting the idea on such an unknown, it is better to take something useful first, such as a huge knowledge system.
As he entered this dream world, Leo found that the knowledge stored in his database, especially the knowledge of the Earth Federation, was becoming more and more insufficient, so he would try to store all kinds of knowledge he could see in the accessory brain database whenever he had time.
However, even if he did, the accumulation of the database was still far from the minimum standard in his heart, and now the appearance of Peter Alcott solved his problem.
While Peter Alcott's knowledge isn't necessarily profound, his knowledge is extensive, at least unmatched by anyone Leo knows.
In the past twenty years, every dream of Peter Alcott has been an accumulation of knowledge in a new civilized world, even if he has wasted this accumulation of knowledge for a long time due to age and other reasons, but even if he only has a few years of concentrated accumulation of knowledge, his knowledge can be said to cover thousands or even tens of thousands of different civilized worlds.
As long as Leo can obtain these knowledge supplements, even if it is only one percent, his accumulation of information at the basic knowledge level is almost in line with the requirements, so in Leo's eyes, Peter Alcott's expansion transaction is simply a big fat piece of meat.
With both parties believing that the terms of the deal were in their favor, the proposal to expand the deal was quickly reached, and Leo did not waste any time, and directly dragged Peter Alcott to the upstairs study, and immediately began to let the other party fulfill the deal.
Peter Alcott did not object to this, and soon entered the role of the teacher, but he did not start by telling about the knowledge he had gained from the various dream worlds, but about the various knowledge in the dream world in which he lived.
Soon, Peter Alcott felt that something was wrong, because he found that Leo could remember all the knowledge he had said, even if it was just a casual sentence, and retold it exactly in its entirety, and this memory shocked him even if he was well-informed.
"Do you have that kind of smart chip in your head?" After telling all kinds of knowledge about his Silvermoon Lake world, an hour or so had passed, and Peter Alcott couldn't help but stop and asked Leo.
"You know smart chips?" Leo looked at Peter Alcott with a little surprise after hearing a word full of technology.
Peter Alcott explains: "I once dreamed of a magical world where people had transformed the whole world into a mechanical world, where people had installed something in their brains called a smart chip, which could not only create all kinds of physical and mental sensations, learn all kinds of work skills, but also memorize all kinds of knowledge in infinite quantities. ”
Leo didn't say anything when he heard this, just was silent for a while, and then didn't give any response worth exploring, but said coldly: "Let's continue!"
Peter Alcot couldn't help but pout, there was a human expression on the puppet's face, and a trace of chagrin appeared in his eyes, he knew that he might have suffered a loss in this transaction.
But even so, he didn't think about breaking the contract when Leo held the handle, and could only choose which dream world to tell according to the depth of his memory.
One is a psionic puppet that doesn't need any rest, and the other is a physical strongman who is so energetic that he doesn't need to rest for days and nights, and with the passage of time, a large amount of knowledge of otherworldly civilizations has been stuffed into the second-brain database, and a huge otherworldly knowledge base has also begun to take shape in Leo's brain.
