Chapter Eighty-Six: The Silver Moon Tower
Led by the steward, the entrance to the banquet venue is the Diana Garden, the largest garden in the entire castle.
The garden is planted with orange trees and honey grass, two of the world's most fragrant plants, specially brought from the Moissanal continent, and the entire garden is immersed in this faint fragrance throughout the year.
In addition to this fragrance, the most noteworthy thing in the whole garden is the 137 marble statues of Diana, the goddess of harvest, scattered throughout the garden, all of which are made by 137 sculptors, including many national treasure-level sculptors, all of which are in different forms, which can be called the world's most complete female sculpture pose.
At this time, in the garden, long tables are carefully placed on the grass of the garden, and exquisite food and wine from all over the world are placed on the table at will, allowing the guests to take it, and the servants only need to stand at the table to constantly fill the food and wine that have been consumed.
Banquet attendees can easily enjoy the food while chatting, and sometimes when the band starts to play music, someone will put down their things and casually pull a female companion to dance in the open space in the middle of the garden.
The atmosphere of the whole banquet is very relaxed, and it is easy to immerse yourself in it.
However, if you look closely, you will find that almost all the people in the garden are young men and women, making it more like a blind date place prepared by the magnates of Miria City for their juniors.
At this time, the attentive Leo noticed that a high-ranking official of the Continental Congress who had seen in the newspaper was walking towards the harvest hall at the end of the garden under the guidance of a servant, and that he had left his nephews and nephews with him in the garden.
Seeing this, Leo walked quickly to a place close enough to the Harvest Hall, and then tried to release the spirit net and cover the Harvest Hall.
Because of his experience with the villa and the Skull and Bones Guild headquarters building, Leo could have predicted in advance that the Harvest Hall would definitely have something like the interference energy field, but to his surprise, this interference energy field also had the function of counterattacking.
At the moment when Leo's spiritual network came into contact with the harvest hall, a spiritual energy suddenly exploded, not only dispersing the spiritual network, but also directly impacting Leo with a wave of spiritual energy along the vein of the spiritual network.
Fortunately, Leo instantly activated the perfect control skill, and his body and mind entered a state of perfect control, easily controlling the spiritual network to form a spiritual barrier on the surface of the body, blocking this strong impact but not lasting spiritual energy wave from the outside.
This blocked wave of psionic energy radiated in all directions, and to the people around it, it was just a breeze that appeared out of thin air, and only a few people who were particularly sensitive could feel something abnormal.
Just when Leo thought that the matter was over, a tide of psionic energy very similar to the spiritual net swept through the garden, and Leo's perfect control was not unraveled, and when the psionic tide fell on his body, his body became no different from ordinary people under perfect control, thus avoiding the defensive counterattack caused by this prying eye without danger.
Because the person who used the psionic power did not hide his location at all, or he did not know how to hide his whereabouts, Leo easily discovered the exact location of this mysterious powerhouse who could use psionic energy, probably a wizard, in the castle, and this location was on the Silvermoon Tower, the center of the entire Silvermoon Valley.
"Could this be the main purpose he asked me to come?" Leo thought to himself as he looked up slightly at the top of the Silver Moon Tower, which had gathered a large amount of moonlight and emitted a silver-blue glow.
Just when Leo suspected that the old man had given him the invitation for the purpose of the Silvermoon Tower, in the penultimate room at the top of the Silvermoon Tower, an old man in an old robe who looked very wise looked up at the Silver Moon Jewel Ball floating on the ceiling of the glass cover above his head.
Behind him, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo and dressed very gentlemanly held a crystal ball-shaped object in his hand, which from time to time emitted bursts of psionic energy waves under his drive, and under the effect of the energy force field contained in the tower, it turned into waves of psionic energy, and through the psionic tide, everything scanned was fed back into the crystal ball.
"Haven't you found it yet?" the old man asked in a deep voice as he looked away from the Silver Moon Jewel Ball and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man's movements.
"No, I guess I saw that the situation was bad and went into hiding. The middle-aged man shook his head, stopped activating the power in the crystal ball, put it back on the bookshelf on the side, and said, "The day of opening the door is coming soon, and I am afraid that there will be more and more such people in the future." ”
The old man smiled and said, "The more people, the better, and they can be used as pawns for us to explore the way, otherwise why would we spread the news?"
"No, it's not us, it's just you. The middle-aged man didn't intend to mix with the old man, took himself out, and said: "The boss has already said that the situation has been chaotic recently, and he doesn't want your affairs to have any impact on him." ”
The old man hurriedly defended himself and said, "I didn't give the boss a ...... about my business."
"It's already affected by the boss. The middle-aged man raised his hand to stop the old man's defense, and said: "The death of the president of the Skull and Bones Society can be determined to be committed by people in the dark world, and the three books of Ian that you asked the president of the Skull and Bones Society to collect for you have been taken away, and the boss suspects that that is the reason." In addition, such a powerful Dark World powerhouse will come to Miria City at this time, what do you think he is coming for?"
"Damn!" the old man cursed, not knowing if he was cursing to influence his boss's affairs, or if he was annoyed by the three ancient wizard notes that had been lost.
"I'm here to convey the boss's words this time," the middle-aged man said unceremoniously: "The boss is worried that you will have no return this time like other people in the dark world, so I hope you can finish what you need before you act, such as the magic energy steam engine that the boss needs the most, what he doesn't want to get is a defective product." ”
The old man said quite confidently: "You tell the boss that the thing has been designed, and he only needs to get the Fire Moon Stone to be able to assemble and test." ”
"That's good. After getting the news he wanted, the middle-aged man turned around and prepared to leave.
The old man suddenly stopped the other party and said, "Are you really not curious about the knowledge in it? You must know that there is said to be a mystery of the gods there, and the purpose of our sorcerer's existence is not to unravel the mysteries of the gods?"
The middle-aged man turned to look at the old man and said, "What about the gods? In this world dominated by humans, even the gods can only retreat in the Black Forest, and those ancient wizards who target the gods have disappeared without a trace, even if you have obtained the mystery of the gods and the inheritance of the ancient wizards, what can you do? Can you still reverse the course of this world and make everything back to that era of barbarism and ignorance? Not to mention ......?" As he spoke, the middle-aged man pointed to the Silver Moon Jewel Ball on the top of his head and said, "Whether this thing is useful or not is still unknown, wait for you to come out of it alive and then tell me what mysteries of the gods are!"
With that, as if he didn't want to stay here any longer, he walked briskly down the hanging staircase, pushed open a wooden door, and walked out of the tower.
The old man stood quietly in place, as if he was recalling what the middle-aged man had just said, the expression on his face kept changing, and finally he raised his head to look at the jewel ball that emitted a silver-blue light above his head, and said to himself: "No, it must be useful, it must be used as a guide to entry and exit!"
In the castle's Diana Garden, as the person who triggered this conversation on the Silvermoon Tower, Leo was not focusing on these mysterious things at all.
After already knowing that the Silvermoon Castle was full of all kinds of traps against people like him, he did not take the liberty of releasing the spirit net, nor did he take the initiative to probe the surrounding situation, but completely put himself in the identity of an ordinary banquet participant, enjoying all kinds of food and wine provided at this banquet.
Most of the food is prepared for this type of banquet just to set the mood, as few guests enjoy the food in this setting.
The vast majority of them have a glass of wine in their hands, talking to each other and contacting each other, and very few will hold food in their vulgar hands. Even those who are hungry will only eat a little bit of heart, and will not touch the carefully cooked meat and seafood on the table.
However, at today's banquet, there was an outlier like Leo, who would taste a little bit of every food on the table, and then he would concentrate his energy on a certain food that would help him, and eat it without hesitation, until all such food was eaten.
For the first time, the housekeeper of the manor, who was in charge of coordinating the banquet, had to bring in some less tasty but good-looking food from elsewhere to fill the gaps in the table.
Although, the people at the banquet tried their best not to see Leo eating, but for some reason, Leo's eating was too easy to arouse people's appetite, and most of the men and women present chose to go to the banquet on an empty stomach in order to match their bodies and clothes, and these people were seduced by Leo's eating behavior, and none of them had the heart to talk.
At first, it was just one or two people who secretly picked up a little food on the table and tasted it, but then more and more people stood at the table, from the hidden tasting to the big gulping of the restrictions, which changed the atmosphere of the banquet in the whole garden, and some people even untied their tight clothes in order to let go of the bound stomach, without the elegance just now.
Seeing that the originally good banquet had been destroyed and turned into what it is now, the butler in charge of the banquet in this area felt like crying, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only keep replenishing food to meet the needs of the guests.
After killing a spider crab from the Silver Moon Sea, Leo picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the food from his mouth, looked around and couldn't help but smile.
Just when he was eating, Leo deliberately refined the delicious feeling after eating through the parabrain system, and then used spiritism in reverse, not absorbing the information of the spirits from the outside world, but like a radio, the delicious spiritual information of eating was transmitted to the surroundings in the form of psionic spirit waves, causing the spiritual resonance of the people around him, thus arousing everyone's appetite.
Now the effect is undoubtedly far beyond expectations, no one can resist the strong physiological feeling, but the disadvantage is not nothing, that is, people who have eaten enough can have a stronger resistance to this appetite psionic spirit, such as the little woman Emily next to him.
Emily, who was supposed to be separated from Leo after arriving at the banquet venue to find a suitable target, ended up unable to take the step of becoming the mistress of the powerful due to shyness, timidity, and low self-esteem, and shrank next to Leo, handing him the plate like a servant.
When Leo was inspired by the wave of psionic energy just now, he tried to combine psionic skills and create his own psionic skills, Emily, who was closest to Leo, was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
It's just that she didn't show an uncontrollable state of appetite like others, but just ate a little bit when her appetite was triggered, and she controlled her physiological reaction, so that she didn't make inappropriate actions at the banquet.
As the trigger of these anomalies, Leo has no interest in staying where he is, waiting for someone to come up and find trouble.
I saw him pour a whole glass of Bodo Golden Wine, and with his own glass, Emily took a plate of Golden Roast from Megaliga, and moved to the small courtyard on the side of Diana's garden, and found a small pavilion that was quite quiet, just in front of the Quarter Moon Lake, and sat down.
"You've been here for nothing tonight. Leo said to Emily, who was sitting across from her.
"It doesn't matter, it's enough to be able to attend the banquet. Emily smiled cheerfully, "I'll tell my colleagues in the flower shop tomorrow about tonight's events, I'm afraid they won't believe it yet." ”
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing out loud when she thought of the gentlemen and ladies who were still eating at the banquet.
"Do you still want to know the nobles? I have a suitable person to introduce to you. Leo suddenly made a suggestion, and his mind couldn't help but think of Baron Maupassant.
"No!" Emily shook her head and smiled, "I'm not a mistress, I'm still honest as a flower shop clerk!"
Leo took a sip of wine, sat quietly for a while, and then asked, "Do you know anything about flowers?"
"Of course I know. Seeing Leo mention what she was interested in, Emily immediately became excited, looked around, and then asked Leo to point out the flowers in the garden casually, and she could quickly say the types of flowers, how to match them, what the flower language was, and so on.
Just when Emily was excitedly talking about everything related to flowers, Leo suddenly said: "I will fund, you will contribute, we will open a flower shop together, are you interested?"
"Ahh
Leo repeated what he had just said.
This time Emily recovered from the surprise, covered her mouth, and didn't know what to say, and finally spit out a sentence, "Do you want me to be your mistress?"
Leo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
"Haha!"
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the bushes, and then I saw a red-haired woman wearing a hollow twig mask and a black lace shapewear come out from behind the bushes, as if she was familiar with herself, walked to the small pavilion, and sat down beside Emily.
Then, the red-haired woman took her in Emily's arms when she reacted, kissed her on the lips hard, and then said: "This guy is not the kind of person who understands sex, he doesn't need a mistress like you, I have a little lover by my side, why don't you follow me?"
