The Vitovina people are a rare psionic race in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, and more than 80% of their people have psionic talents, and they have learned to use psionic energy since the ancient obscurantist period, and the skills of making psionic items are also the best in the universe, and nearly more than thirty percent of the psionic items and psionic weapons in the universe are from their hands.

Although they are one of the first cosmic races to come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, they are very closed to the outside world, and they are only willing to communicate with the races they recognize, and most of them are commercial contacts, not allowing others to influence themselves, nor will they interfere in the internal affairs of other races or cosmic wars.

It is precisely because of the conservative foreign policy and always neutral diplomatic attitude of the Vitovina people that nearly ninety percent of the civilizations in the universe are willing to do business with them, especially the trade of psionic items, and the most of the psionic items exported by the Vitovina people are this eternal light.

Because of this, the eternal light has become a symbol of the Vitovina people, so the manufacturing process of this psionic object has always been one of the most closely guarded skills of the Vitovina people.

"Can you take a look?" Leo asked Peter Alcott as he pointed to the crystal ball that appeared to be the light of eternity, after the parabrain system called up the information about the Vitovinas.

"Yes, please. Peter Alcott is happy to see people interested in the objects he makes, and the expressions that come to his faces are one of the few sources of pleasure he has.

After getting permission, Leo picked up the eternal light on the table, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and at the same time analyzed the item through psionic skills such as spiritual network, psychic perception and psychic vision, and quickly compared the data in the auxiliary brain system, and finally came to the conclusion that this thing was indeed the eternal light as he expected.

Although the Eternal Light is a psionic item, it is not uncommon in the universe where the Earth Federation is located, because of the special nature of its Eternal Light Source, it is the best hyperspace flight locator, and almost all large fleets that can cross space will be equipped with one or two Eternal Lights for spatial positioning.

Leo had been on such hyperspace ships many times in his previous life, and had carried out missions to destroy the enemy ship's Eternal Light Locator more than once in space warfare, so he was very familiar with this psionic item, which also made him almost not need to spend too much energy to be able to determine that the crystal ball in his hand was an eternal light.

"You did this?" Leo asked with certainty after putting the crystal ball back on the bracket, even though he already had the answer in mind.

Although the expression on Leo's face remained unchanged and remained as flat as ever, Peter Alcott could sense the surprise in Leo's tone, so he said with some smugness: "This thing is good, isn't it! It's a pity that the ingredients are too particular, and I can only make one of the ingredients I can get." ”

Leo was indeed shocked in his heart, if it was indeed the Eternal Light as he deduced, then it meant that Peter Alcott had traveled to the universe where the Earth Federation was located, and learned the craft of making the Eternal Light from the Vitovinas, which also meant that he might be able to return to the universe of the Earth Federation.

It's just that the thought of returning to the Earth Federation flashed in Leo's mind for less than a second, and he erased it. He is now living well in this magical and interesting world, and there are a lot of new things to satisfy his curiosity every day, and the memory that the Earth Federation gives him is only missions, battles, and rest, and then continue missions, continue to fight, and there is not even a break, so he simply does not want to return to the same bad world where people are used as weapons.

Leo didn't ask for any more details about the Eternal Light, fearing that if he continued to investigate, he might unforesee something unforeseen and even send him back to the Earth Federation, so his best course of action was not to contact it again.

"What did you call me for?" Leo, who had made the decision, immediately changed the subject and asked.

Peter Alcott was a little surprised by Leo's change of subject, his instincts clearly told him that Leo was interested in this wizarding object, but suddenly his attitude was reversed 180 degrees, he behaved so coldly, and showed a strong rejection of the object, which also made him inquisitive.

"You've seen this before, haven't you?" Peter Alcott was also a very curious person, and he also seemed to be a bit stubborn and egoistic, and he didn't intend to bring himself into Leo's rhythm in the slightest, but forcibly changed the subject again, pointed to the eternal light, stared at Leo's expression, and asked.

Leo's expression was still bland, although he had not entered the state of mechanical will, but his mentality had returned to a situation similar to that of the biological weapon back then, and the whole person was like a stubborn stone without revealing any information.

Seeing that, he didn't intend for Peter Alcott to ask any questions, so he directly took the king and queen on the table, put them in the holster, and then said in an indifferent tone: "If there is nothing else, then ......"

"If you don't want to say it, let's talk about something else!" Peter Alcott's attitude changed abruptly as Leo expressed strong disgust, smiling and leaning back in his chair, making himself look less aggressive.

Although Peter Alcot is very curious about Leo, he wants to know why he feels Leo's déjà vu, and he also wants to know the secrets hidden in Leo, but he can also see that Leo's character is soft and hard, and if he doesn't choose to back down, he will only fall out in the end.

If Leo is just an ordinary person, it would not be a bad thing for Peter Alcott to fall out, he could just find a reason and just arrest Leo and torture him. But judging from the two weapons that Leo took out, he could feel that Leo's strength was very strong, and just now his intuition was extremely clear that if he made a strong move, his chances of winning were very small.

Peter Alcott was completely different from the other nobles of Ten Towns and Silvermoon City, and the memories and knowledge brought by his childhood experiences taught him what compromise was and what detour was. This knowledge makes him more like a politician in the world of Velon, where face and dignity are not important, but whether or not the goal can be achieved in the end. So when Leo shows a tough attitude, he chooses to take a step back, ease the current relationship, and then use other methods to get closer to each other until the relationship is good, and then listen to the secrets from the other party.

The whole process of decryption is like a game for Peter Alcott, and it is a game that he deserves his energy and helps him pass the time of boredom.

Although Leo, who has been targeted, doesn't know Peter Alcott's true thoughts, he can feel that the other party obviously wants to dig some secrets from him, and it seems that he has plans to make long-term contact, otherwise he would never make such a retreat with his identity.

In this regard, he didn't care about it, but was happy to see it, because he also wanted to dig out some secrets from the other party, and only by having more contact, the more opportunities there were to dig out the other party's secrets, and as for who can win in the end, it depends on their respective means.

Perhaps because of the same thoughts, both of them made the same decision, waiting for the other party to speak first, looking for each other's loopholes, so both of them chose to be silent at this moment, and the cabin immediately became silent, and the atmosphere in the room became a little strange.

Soon, the initial decision of the two changed a little, and both sides guessed each other's intentions at the moment, and neither thought of saying something first, which made the two seem to be in a game where whoever spoke first would lose.

At this moment, the maid walked up to the two of them with the plates, put them on the table, picked up a fine teapot, poured a glass of water for each of them, and placed it beside them.

The eyes of the two fell on the teacup in front of them, and then they looked at each other, and laughed almost at the same time, although they didn't know why they were laughing, but they both felt that now was the time to laugh.

After laughing, it was Leo's turn to reach out to Peter Alcot and introduce himself, "Leo Dodd, seeker of knowledge. ”

"Peter Alcott, Dream Seeker. Peter Alcott shook Leo's hand and reintroduced himself.

The atmosphere in the room became a lot more casual and relaxed at this moment, but the vigilance in the hearts of both parties did not weaken much.

"The surname Dodd is very unfamiliar, I remember that Ten Towns doesn't seem to have this surname," Peter Alcott said with a slightly thoughtful look, "Is this surname the new surname of the honorary nobles of Silvermoon City?"

The various guild organizations in Silvermoon City will issue honorary nobility to some outstanding people within their guilds from time to time, and these identities are not hereditary, so the surnames generated because of honorary nobility are naturally only temporary.

"It's not. It's just a random one I made. Leo directly denied the other party's speculation, because the surname of the honorary nobleman could be found out, and no disguise could be made.

"What's the matter?" Peter Alcott apparently didn't believe Leo's words, but he didn't ask any further, and continued, "Your Excellency Dodd...... Uh, that's a bit too formal, I'll call you Leo, you can call me Peter, what do you think?"

"Yes. Leo nodded.

Peter Alcott smiled slightly, continued what he was about to say, and said, "I heard from the old butler that Leo, you and the ninth chief special merchant Vitzmir are collaborators, right?"

Leo replied simply, "He's a good collaborator. ”

"It's a good choice. Peter Alcott also nodded in agreement and said: "His current position in the eyes of the Ninth Chief is not very secure, and many people are waiting for him to have an accident so that he can take his place, so he must have to accomplish something when he comes to Seventh Lake Town this time, and in order to be able to accomplish things, he may agree to any conditions." If you don't come to an agreement with him, it's best to consider raising some of the terms of cooperation, as long as it doesn't affect his position, I think he'll agree. ”

"You didn't call me here just to tell me how to negotiate terms with Witzmere, did you?" Leo didn't intend to go in circles with Peter Alcott, and asked directly, "It's better to be straightforward if there's anything going on." ”

"Originally, I didn't come to you with other ideas, just to see if you were someone I knew before, but now I have a different idea. Peter Alcott changed his casual attitude, his expression became a little more serious, and said, "I want to make a deal with you, as long as you tell me about the ruined capital, you can choose a factory under my name and all the items produced by the factory." ”

Hearing Peter Alcott's words, Leo felt a little puzzled in his heart, but the expression on his face did not show it, but asked flatly, "Don't you know anything about the situation in the abandoned capital?"

"Do you think we, the nobles of the Ten Towns, are qualified to know about these things?" Peter Alcott looked at Leo with some displeasure and said, "Your wizarding guild has strictly forbidden us to participate in these things. ”

Leo found that Peter Alcott seemed to be influenced by the old butler and saw him as a member of the Wizarding Guild, so he took the plan and acquiesced to this identity, and continued: "What about the dream stone?"

Peter Alcott smiled and said, "This is my secret, you can exchange your secret if you want to know." ”

Leo was silent for a moment, and said deliberately truthfully: "I don't know what nonsense is? ”

Peter Alcott was stunned, with a surprised expression on his face, followed by a look of complete disbelief, clapped his hands, and praised with a slight sarcasm: "You wizards are so powerful, I can't tell the lies you tell even for me." ”

Hearing Peter Alcott's words, Leo showed a smile, he deliberately told the truth just now, just to test how sharp Peter Alcott's intuition is, and now it seems that Peter Alcott's intuition can distinguish the truth of words to a certain extent, and this discovery also gives him a head start to a certain extent.

However, the smile on Leo's face caused a misunderstanding for Peter Alcott, and he thought it was a smug smile after successfully deceiving his instincts, which also caused him to have a trace of doubt about his intuitive judgment.

He felt that since Leo had the ability to trick him into correctly judging the truth of a sentence, there must be a way to trick him into judging the good or bad of a thing, and his instincts had told him that Leo was harmless, and it could also be a disguised deception of the other party's witchcraft.

Thinking of this, Peter Alcott's relaxed mood became a little more tense, and his body instinctively made a slight defensive gesture, and the maid who was standing quietly on the side also moved to his side when his mood changed, and protected him.
