Chapter 182: Charles Langko's Thoughts
Witzmere didn't find Charles Lonko's words funny in the slightest, but he felt that his new one had behaved a little unusually, and he was chattering like a madman.
However, he was sure that no matter whether Charles Lanco was crazy or not, he would not be able to turn back, because from the moment the secret about the founder of the Chaos Society came out of Charles Lanco's mouth, he was no longer qualified to choose again.
"How's it going to do what I ordered?" At this time, Charles Langko put away a somewhat crazy smile, and the whole person instantly returned to normal, as if the somewhat crazy person just now was just an illusion.
Witzmere replied, "It's done!" β
"Little problem?" "Charles Ronco frowned and said, "Tell me, what is the small problem?"
Vitzmere then recounted the process of negotiating with Leo in detail, not only mentioning the content of the conversation between the two sides, but also the look, expression and tone of Leo's every sentence, giving anyone who listens an immersive feeling.
After listening to what Vitzmere had to say, Charles Ronco did not react immediately, but lowered his head and pondered, and the room became unusually quiet.
After a long while, Charles Ronco said slowly, "Which adult's disciple do you think he might be?"
Witzmere thought for a moment and said, "I think it could be any of the three chiefs. β
"Why?" asked Charles Ronco.
"Because from what information I've gotten, his witchcraft seems to be in the same vein as the ancient witches," Witzmere explained. β
"Is it really the Ancient Witch lineage?" or ......" Charles Ronco said to himself, his gaze falling on the magic array in front of him, a thoughtful look on his face.
The room fell silent again.
"You're doing a great job. Charles Lanco, who had recovered from his contemplation, praised Vitzmir a little abruptly, and said: "Leo Dodd's origin is too mysterious, if it were other times, he would definitely not be a suitable partner to work with, but now the situation is different, it doesn't matter what he thinks and plans are, as long as his strength is strong enough, the stronger he is, the easier it is for me to get the magic book of the crystallized old man." β
As he spoke, he stood up, walked to a suitcase placed in the corner of the room, opened it, rummaged through it for a while, and finally expelled five books of various sizes from the suitcase.
He handed the books to Vicsmir and said, "These five are the wizard's notes of the tenth chief, and they are useless to me now, so you can bring them with you when you go to pick him up for the wake." And ......" Then he took out another piece of paper, quickly wrote something on the paper, then stamped it on the back with the signet ring in his hand, folded the paper, and handed it to Vitzmir, saying: "You teach this letter to the current heir of the Nowitzsky family, and let him deliver the reward that should be delivered." β
Wittmere took the book and the letter and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't rush the Nowitzki family, just wait until after tonight, and believe that the Nowitzki family will take the initiative to hand over that thing to Leo Dodd." β
Charles Ronco shook his head and said, "The Novitsky family took the initiative to hand it over, which is completely different from the meaning of us helping Leo Dodd obtain that item. β
"I understand how to do it. Wittmere said earnestly as he put his things away.
"You have to do one more thing for me when you go to the wake this time. Charles Ronco then commanded.
Puzzled, Witzmere asked, "Aren't you going to attend this wake?"
"No! I have more important things to do. Charles Lonko explained briefly, and then said, "I need you to go to AndrΓ© XIII and trade all the manuscripts left by Peter Alcott to him in the name of his mentor." β
"Peter Alcott's manuscript?" Wittmere was stunned and said, "I'm afraid this matter is difficult, Peter Alcott's manuscript must involve a lot of mysteries of various mechanical manufacturing, if the seventh Alcott family wants to successfully take over and maintain the factory left by Peter Alcott, the relevant manuscript must be in their hands, and it is impossible to hand it over to others." β
"The manuscripts I want are not those that are machine-made. Charles Lanco said carefully: "The manuscript I want is Peter Alcott's dream notes, I know that Peter Alcott has been recording his dreams since he was very young, and has recorded a total of thirty-seven notes so far, those notes are of no use to the seventh Alcott family, you just need to take out what I gave you, and then use the name of the mentor, I believe that Andre XIII will not object." β
"I see. Witzmere nodded in agreement, and then asked Charles Lanko if there was anything else he could do, and when he saw that there was no other command, he withdrew from the room to prepare for the wake and take Leo's treasure from the Novitzki family.
Just as Vitzmere had left, Charles Lanco got up from the ground, walked to a corner of the room, looked at the empty room in front of him, his head and eyes moved back and forth as if he had seen something in the air, and muttered to himself in confusion: "Peter Alcott, Leo Dodd, what do you want to do?"
Charles Ronco's eyes are the most mysterious place in his body, no one knows what the power of his eyes is, not even the ninth chief as a mentor, only Charles Ronco himself knows how powerful his eyes are, and this ability does not dare to reveal a word until he has the true power.
His ability is also very simple, it is to be able to capture the light and shadow of time within a certain range, although this ability cannot help him fight, but it can help him obtain a large number of mysteries that others cannot access.
At first, he could only see the light and shadow of time within an hour, but now the length of time light and shadow has extended to more than ten days. Through these eyes, he obtained a lot of secrets in the wizarding association that only core wizards can grasp, and knew a lot of powerful secret witchcraft, which allowed him to have his current strength and status.
Just a day ago, when he came to this room, he also saw what the executioners of the Chaos Society were doing in the room through the ability of these eyes, and that incident also happened to confirm the speculation in his mind that he had not determined for many years.
If he didn't save it, he saw Leo sneaking in from the window again, and saw how Leo found the magic array that had not been cleared, although Leo did not show any abnormality, he could faintly feel that Leo was very familiar with the sacrificial magic array of this chaos society.
In the end, Charles Lanco also saw a person who should not have appeared, and this person was Peter Alcott, and he even saw Peter Alcott very skillfully restore and erase the sacrificial magic circle in the room.
Charles Lanco didn't expect that this trip to the town of the Seventh Lake would be able to discover so many interesting things in addition to the original purpose, and what he didn't expect was that when he was about to meet with Peter Alcott and test the other party, Peter Alcott died suddenly.
Unlike some of the others in Seventh Lake who were skeptical about Peter Alcott's death, Charles Ronco was sure that Peter Alcott was dead, because he happened to be right next to him when Peter Alcott died.
At that time, he personally picked up the vision that would inevitably appear when a member of the Alcott family died, so he had no doubts about the death of this famous member of the Alcott family.
It's a pity that Peter Alcott's sudden death made Charles Longco completely confused, after all, if someone saw him standing next to Peter Alcott, who had just died, who should not have appeared at the Alcott family estate, no matter how much he explained.
And with the mentality of those old guys in the Wizarding Association, I am afraid that in order to appease the anger of the Alcott family, his power will be imprisoned and thrown directly to the Alcourt family for disposal, no matter how great his potential is and how high his status is, it will be useless.
So, at that time, he could only flee the Alcott family manor in embarrassment, and in hindsight, if he had calmed down and spent a little time searching for the manor where Peter Alcott lived, maybe he wouldn't have to risk revealing his purpose and let Witzmir handle the matter now.
Peter Alcott's dream diary was also widely circulated in a special circle in the upper echelons of the Wizarding Association, but unfortunately, as Peter Alcott's overall strength gradually became stronger, there was no dream diary circulated.
Charles Ronco also stumbled upon a manuscript of a dream diary by chance, and most people in the Wizarding Guild only read dream journals as inspirational books, but he was able to learn some mysteries about the world from some of the things recorded in the dream diary.
It's a pity that there are only three dream diaries he can find in the Wizarding Society, and these dream diaries were all written by Peter Alcott when he was a child, and the content is full of all kinds of childish ideas, without much reference value, he cares about Peter Alcott's thirty-seven dream diaries written as an adult.
The reason why he knew that Peter Alcott still had thirty-seven dream diaries in his hands that had not been made public was entirely because there were other people staring at these dream diaries, and there was not just one person staring at them, and the information they had collected was quite detailed, and they cheapened him for nothing.
This time, before arriving at Seventh Lake, Charles Ronco had already considered meeting Peter Alcott to see if he could trade normally in exchange for the qualification to read these dream diaries.
It's just that he never expected that Peter Alcott would die so suddenly, without any prior warning.
However, in his opinion, Peter Alcott's death is not a bad thing for him, because Peter Alcott's death was so sudden that no one could have predicted it in advance, so the news of Peter Alcott's death was only circulating in the upper echelons of Seventh Lake Town, and it would take a few days for other Lake Towns to know, and if Silvermoon City wanted to know, I am afraid it would take even longer.
Before the news of his death spreads completely, Charles Lanco has plenty of time to obtain the dream diaries from Peter Alcott's heirs.
In order to prevent himself from being implicated afterwards, Charles Ronco had just asked Witzmere to trade those dream notes in the name of the Ninth Chief.
However, this is only to be prepared, in fact, as long as he can find the magic book of the crystallized old man in the big library during this trip to the ruined capital, then he will be able to successfully become one of the ten chiefs.
Even if it's not the ninth, it's still the tenth that remains vacant.
At that time, with his status and status, even if those people knew that the dream diary was in his hands, they would probably not be able to take it from him, and they would only choose to cooperate with him in the end.
Even if the worst happens, and he finds nothing on his trip to the capital, and the dream diary is bought by Vitzmir in the name of the Ninth Chief, he can keep himself out of the situation by erasing Witzmir and cutting off the clues that those people are tracking.
It's just that, in addition to Peter Alcott's dream diary, Leo Dodd, a wizard who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, is also very interested in him.
The reason why he temporarily added Leo to the team he had prepared long ago was because he saw the whole process of the confrontation between Leo and the executioner on the first floor of the flower shop through his own ability.
From his eyes, it is not difficult to see that Leo Dodd's overall strength should be stronger than that chaotic executioner, but because of the surrounding environment and other problems, he was not able to fully display it, and in the end it could only end hastily.
Although Leo showed enough strength, Charles Lanco didn't take it to heart, because his team was specially formed for the various situations that the big library would encounter, and strength was not the main condition for joining his team and becoming his collaborator. The main reason why he asked Vitzmir to recruit Leo was that Leo seemed to be confused with the runes on the magic array, and as far as he knew, the runes of the chaos were obtained from the Great Library, and there was a lack of such a collaborator in his team.
"The house where Leo now lives is Peter Alcott's only residence outside the aristocratic quarter. After pondering for a while, Charles Ronco suddenly said to himself: "Peter Alcott used to live there for a long time, and perhaps some Peter Alcott secrets were hidden there. Maybe...... Today should be a good time. β
With an idea in his head, Charles Ronco also made a decision, he wiped off the magic circle on the ground, picked up some things that needed to be used, and walked out of the room.
