Chapter 498: Larson Manor

Although Leo had only met and talked to Sir Roland once, Sir Roland had a good impression on him, and Sir Roland's notes were with him, so he may have been involved in this matter, so he must have investigated the cause of Sir Roland's death.

However, he did not plan to go to Mozambia immediately, because the newspaper mentioned that Sir Roland's body would be sent back to his hometown in the Kingdom of England for burial according to his will, and at that time, he could go to check Sir Roland's body, check the cause of his death, and wait for a while to go to Mozambique, and then formally investigate.

The next day, Leo, who had nothing to do, prepared to take a trip to Larson Manor to take a look at the Larson family's book collection.

In fact, he had already planned to go to Larson Manor, but after the banquet in the Roosevelt family mansion that day, Leon Larson suddenly had something to do abroad, so he could not make the trip as planned.

However, within a few days, Leon Larsson returned from abroad, and he cautiously sent a letter to Leo, apologizing to Leo for his sudden departure, and inviting Leo to Larsson Manor again.

Although Leo didn't see Leon Larsson himself now, he could see from the text on Leon Larsson's letter that Leon Larsson seemed to be in a very good mood now, and his mind was very relaxed.

Instead of immediately going to Larsson's estate the next day, as the letter said, Leo moved the clock back and sent someone to find out about Leon Larsen.

The information he received yesterday was sent to Leo, who found that the reason why Leon Larsson was so happy and relaxed was because he was no longer in debt and did not need to worry about the money needed to maintain his image as a decent person.

The reason for this change was that he married a rich woman from abroad, who was the widow of a nobleman in the Kingdom of Mares, and inherited a large inheritance from the nobleman, which was extremely large enough to make Leon Larsson live like those big nobles.

Leo didn't show much surprise at Leon Larsson's luck, after all, such things are not uncommon in the world of Velon, and down-and-out scholars are favored by noblewomen and then receive large financial support, but there are not many people who marry scholars like this noblewoman.

Leon Larson's private life is not the focus of Leo's attention, but rather whether it will affect his ability to look through the Larsson family's collection.

In the carriage prepared by the butler, Leo soon drove to the Larson family's manor in the suburbs, although he had not yet arrived at the Larson manor, but some situations in the suburbs could show the Larson family's pomp and circumstance in Port Set.

On the way to Larson Manor there is a forest, which is known as the Lar Woodland.

Outside the forest, there is a stone road that has been abandoned in the forest, and this is the only road leading to Larson Manor, which was specially built by the Larson family.

Four horse-drawn carriages can walk side by side, and there are plenty of stone carvings and elaborate windproof lamps on both sides of the road, which are now dilapidated, but still show the luxury of the road in good condition.

Before he even drove into the manor, Leo could already feel the change in the manor, because there were a lot of horse-drawn carts pulling building materials and horse-drawn carriages carrying daily necessities coming and going on the road, and it was obvious that Larson Manor was undergoing a complete renovation, which made Leo feel that he had made the wrong choice when going to Larsson Manor today.

After passing through a manor gate that was being rebuilt, the carriage came to the front of the manor and stopped at the main entrance of the main house.

The servant at the door saw a sumptuous carriage coming, and immediately ran into the house to inform Leon Larsen.

Leo stepped out of the car after the driver opened the door and took a quick look at the manor.

Now several crumbling annexes in Larson Manor have been demolished, and now construction workers are building new buildings, although the main building has not been demolished, many of the damaged places have been replaced with new building materials, and even the beams have been replaced in a few places, and now there are workers painting and aging the restoration number, so that the house as a whole still looks like it can still show a sense of history.

At this time, the energetic Leon Larsson walked out wearing a very high-end cashmere jacket, and when he saw Leo, he immediately greeted him happily.

Although Leo and Leon Larsson only talked once at the banquet, Leon Larsson, who has an uncomplicated personality, already sees Leo as a good friend worthy of deep friendship, after all, when Leon Larsson is unlucky, only Leo can treat him equally and respectfully, and this kind of respect obtained in difficult times is what Leon Larsson is most touched by.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Larson!" Looking at the owner of the mansion who came over, Leo took the initiative to greet him: "I failed to notify in advance, I suddenly visited, I hope you will forgive me!"

"Mr. Dodd, I really feel honored to have your visit," Leon Larsson replied to Leo very sincerely, and then looked around with regret, "It's a pity that this is not a good time to receive guests. ”

Leo shook Leon's outstretched receiver and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as the Larson family's collection of books is still there, it doesn't matter what the house looks like." Also, it's better to call me Leo, and there is no need to be too formal among scholars. ”

"Yes, the spirit of the Larson family is in the books, not in the house. Leon Larsson nodded in agreement with Leo's words, and then said intimately, "You can call me Leon too!" ”

"Don't I need to visit your lady?" asked Leo casually as Leon took him to the library in high spirits.

Leon showed a slightly embarrassed look, smiled bitterly, and then said: "I'm sorry, my lady has recently fallen ill because she is not used to the rainy and humid weather of the kingdom, and she is now recuperating in the bedroom of the main house, so it is not suitable to go out and walk around. ”

"I see, then I can only go and say hello to Mrs. Zun the next time I come. Leo smiled and said nothing more.

Seeing that Leo didn't continue to ask, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then quickly returned to normal and continued to lead Leo forward.

Looking at Leon's back, Leo had an inexplicable smile on his face, it was obvious that Leon's explanation of his wife's situation just now was almost zero credible, and his relationship with his wife did not seem to be as good as rumored by the outside world.

Leo didn't have much interest in Leon Larsen's family problems, and since Leon didn't take the initiative to mention it, it would be too rude for him to ask rashly, so he could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb and turn a blind eye.

Soon the two of them came to the Larson family's library, I have to say that the Larson family's love of books is simply to the bottom of the mouth, this building seems to be made of ordinary wood, but if you look closely, you will find that these woods are extremely rare red hardwood.

Grown only in the depths of the wilderness, less than two hundred trees are cut down each year, and each one is worth enough to buy a private apartment in a port town like Port Sète, such as Leo's.

The reason why this wood is so expensive is not only because of the beautiful pattern and color of the wood, but also because of the additional benefits of this wood against insects, ants and fire, and decay.

And a few years ago, a medical school research report found that organisms stay in houses made of red hardwood for a long time, which has a strong anti-aging and anti-disease effect, after this article came out, the already very valuable red hardwood has become even more valuable, and even many adventurous groups go to the Moisan continent and go deep into the wasteland, not to find any treasures or rare creatures, but to find new red hardwood cutting sites.

It is precisely because of the preciousness of red hardwood that most of this wood has been taken over by royal families, big lords and wealthy people, and there are almost no such woods among the people.

However, the three-story building that Leo saw now was all made of red hardwood, and in that alone it was more than lavish enough for the English royal family. If the news spreads that this small building is made of red hardwood, I am afraid that Larson Manor will never be at peace, and many outlaws will be willing to take the risk.

I have to say that Leon is a fool, this small building was built very long, and the outside is no longer able to identify the wood used in the small building by the naked eye because of the dust and repeated superimposed wall paint, and Leo may be difficult to identify if he does not have a spiritual network.

Leon opened the door with the key around his neck, led Leo to the inside of the library, and then stood in the middle reading area like a king patrolling his domain, and like a child showing his candy to the other children, and said with great pride: "Welcome to the treasure house of the Larsson family." ”

Leo walked to Leon's side, looked up at the layers and rows of bookshelves that reached the roof, the library building may not be very big from the outside, but after arriving inside, it makes people feel very huge, and the stacks of books on the shelves and aisles make people feel the depth of the Larson family very intuitively.

"Can I read it?" Leo asked, though he had only glanced at it, but he was still keenly aware of the fact that there were many solitary ancient books that had disappeared outside, so he asked Leon with some impatience.

"Of course. Leon smiled, "You can read it for as long as you want, the only requirement is not to take the book out." ”

"Okay. Leo was no longer polite, walked to a bookshelf next to him, and directly pulled out an ancient book and looked at it.

Leon didn't mind Leo's directness either, but Leo's eagerness made him even more proud, believing that it was the greatest compliment to the family's treasured books.

Maybe it was because he was influenced by Leo, or maybe it was because he felt a little embarrassed to stand alone, so he also found a random book and sat on the floor and flipped through it.

Time passed, and Leon was already addicted to the book, this feeling of reading a book he hadn't had for a long time, and while Leon was obsessed with the content of the book, Leo had already memorized hundreds of books in shock, and began to walk towards the second layer of books that he had not read.

However, when Leo reached the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look towards the entrance of the library.

I saw that the door of the library building was pushed open from the outside, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper walked in, looked at Leo, and then turned to Leon, walked to Leon's side, and said, "Sir, dinner is ready, and Madame asks you if you want to take the guests to the restaurant for dinner, or if you want the food to be brought here." ”

"Ah!" Leon only then realized the arrival of the butler, and he seemed to be extremely frightened of the butler, so he instantly bounced up from the ground, took two steps back, perhaps feeling that Leo was watching from the side, and was a little embarrassed, and straightened his chest again, and commanded the butler with a pretended majesty: "Tell Madame, that we will eat in the library." If it's too late, I'll rest in the library, so let her rest first. ”

"Yes, sir. The butler nodded, turned and walked out.

When the butler left, Leon couldn't help but let out a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then felt that his movements were a little too big, turned his head to look at Leo, and saw that Leo was holding a book at the moment, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sitting on the ground absentmindedly flipping through the book in his hand.

However, Leon didn't know that Leo was ostensibly reading a book, but in fact he was using a spiritual net to scan the butler's situation, because when the butler approached the library, Leo discovered that the butler was a clan, and a hidden clan that had reached a deep mutation.

Just like a werewolf, there is no difference between him and a normal person in normal times, but once his family bloodline is stimulated, then his body will also mutate, and the degree of mutation depends on the degree of stimulation of his bloodline.

Judging from the fluctuations of power emanating from the butler's body, his bloodline stimulation has reached a very high level, and once it mutates, it is completely mutated, just like the fish-man he encountered that day.

A family with such a high degree of blood stimulation is the butler of a female noblewoman, so there is no doubt that the rich female noblewoman who married Leon is definitely not an ordinary person.

At this time, Leo couldn't help but look at Leon Larson, wondering what kind of special system Leon Larsson would make such a powerful family approach at the cost of marrying, and he was even more puzzled about how Leon Larsson knew that his wife and his subordinates were not ordinary people.
