It took Leo more than ten minutes to come to a suspension bridge into the tenth district, and two guards on both sides of the jumping bridge, who were three meters tall, with rough skin and a lizard-like head, blocked Leo's way, and glared at Leo with disgust and contempt, and asked: "This is not the place for you, black guy......!

Leo ignored the bad attitude of the two big guys who were no different from monsters, and directly took out the invitation card of the Alcourt family and put it in front of the two.

Seeing this invitation, the two big guys were stunned, and quickly recognized the origin of the invitation, showing a strong expression of surprise on their faces, and it was difficult to hide a little doubt in their eyes.

"What are you two fools doing? This is your host's invited guest. At this time, an extremely hoarse voice suddenly shouted at the two ancestral mutants who were blocking the way.

Hearing such a peculiar hoarse voice, Leo barely needed to look back to know who was behind him.

"Mr. Witzmereir, have you received an invitation as well?" asked Leo as he turned his head to the middle-aged man who was approaching behind him.

I saw that this middle-aged man's hair and beard were very neatly trimmed, and he was wearing the most popular bubble costume in Ten Towns, and the whole person was wrapped into a ball by a special clothes rack, plus a layer of special fluorescent powder was deliberately smeared on his face, making him look more like a clown than a big man with status in Ten Towns.

Because of the color of his skin, even if Leo has the heart to make friends with people these days, no one will be willing to listen to him say a word, but there are always exceptions to everything, and Witzmir is the only dream world resident who treats Leo like a normal person these days. However, it is not known whether he really did not discriminate against the so-called black skin disease in any way, or whether it was for other purposes.

Compared to Leo, a fake merchant, Vitzmere, who is dressed like a ball, is a real merchant in the Ten Towns, and he seems to be very famous in the aristocratic circle of the Ten Towns, and he also has a certain status, Leo has taken three of the ten bottles of potions he has taken, and the Alcott family, as the ruler of the town on the Seventh Lake, has only won four bottles.

In the past few days, although Witzmere also has his own buying and selling tasks, he will take time out of his time every day to talk to Leo, and even because he knows that Leo wants to buy a large number of books, he also helps Leo buy them, and the diary of a veteran guarding the castle in the fog area is what he helped Leo find.

Although Vitzmir helped Leo a lot in the acquisition of the books, Leo was also able to sense that Vitzmir was always trying to get some words out of his mouth, and these words were trying to test the unwarranted supporters of Silvermoon City behind him.

It's just that it's obvious that this real Ten Towns merchant is a little bit worse, and he doesn't know that Leo has psionic skills similar to witchcraft.

After Leo uses some of his spiritistic skills to resonate with Wittmere's spirit with the help of the psychic web, causing a hypnotic effect on it. Instead of getting any information from Leo, Vitzmere was tricked by Leo to find out some information about his origins, such as the fact that he was the agent of the Ninth Chief Wizard in Ten Towns, and that he was buying five hundred special gears for the Machinery Factory in First Lake.

However, it is clear that Witzmere has wizarding artifacts that can avoid psionic influences, and when Leo is about to strengthen his influence and amplify his psionic energy, the wizarding artifacts on the other party's body react and wake him up from his hypnotic state.

After returning to normal, Vitzmir seemed to know very well what was going on, and even mistook Leo for witchcraft, so he left in a panic.

Originally, Leo thought that the merchant of the Ten Towns would not have any contact with him again, but he didn't expect that the other party would still take the initiative to greet him and relieve him of the siege.

As if he had forgotten what had been hypnotized by Leo the previous time, Vitzmir talked to Leo like a nobody: "This time, Lord Count Andre XIII invited not only the nobles of the city and you and me, but also the merchants from other towns were all invited by him. ”

Since the other party took the initiative to pretend to be confused, Leo didn't need to debunk it, so he acted as if nothing had happened, followed the other party's words, thought about it a little, and asked, "Is he trying to buy something?"

If Andre XIII was only contacting the nobles and Leo, then nine times out of ten, he would have come at Leo's potion, but now that he knew the details of the invitation list for this banquet from Vitzemere, Leo felt that Andre XIII might have other plans.

"It's possible, but it's not very likely, after all, Lord Count Andrei XIII has his own merchants, and with the relationship between the Alcott family and the Wizarding Guild, he can't buy anything, and he doesn't need to rely on us merchants to buy things for him. As he spoke, Witzmere walked over to the drawbridge and took out his invitation and showed it to the two guards.

Completely different from the situation just now, the two guards did not doubt the authenticity of the invitation in Witzmere's hand, and immediately got out of the way and let Vitzmere go to the bridge, while Leo followed and walked towards the wall opposite the drawbridge.

Walking on the slightly swaying suspension bridge, Witzmir took a somewhat rhythmic step, staggering the frequency of the suspension bridge swaying, so that his pace was very steady, and as he walked, he pretended to be profound: "I guess Andre XIII is probably here to gather foreign merchants and local nobles for that matter, and he probably wants to take advantage of it as well." ”

Because there were no guards by his side, the tone and words of Witzmere's speech became a lot more casual, and he no longer used the courtly etiquette language to address Andrei XIII, but called him very casually, and even revealed a trace of disdain for Andre XIII in his tone.

It's just that Leo didn't pay attention to the change in Witzmere's tone, he was more concerned about some of the things revealed in Witzmereir's words, such as what the incident was and what the benefits were.

Although Leo had some doubts in his heart, his face did not show it, and he could see that Vitzmir must have thought that he had come to the town of the Seventh Lake for the unknown thing, so he pretended to be puzzled and said, "What is that? I don't know what you are talking about?"

Although what Leo said at this moment was completely true, his contrived expression and deliberate digression made Witzmere more and more sure that his guess was right, and Leo was here for that incident.

"Lord Leo, why hide it from me again!" Wittmere seemed to care about Leo's attitude, and said: "One of your wizard apprentices did not hesitate to disguise himself as a trader, and even disguised himself as a dark-skinned patient, and even directly took out ten bottles of wizard potion as bait, surely it was not just to buy those rubbish books, right? Since your identity can no longer be hidden, why don't we two cooperate, you must know that there are not only two of us who want to harvest a sum of money from there, and you don't want the things explained above to be messed up, right?"

Vitzmere's self-righteous coercion and temptation revealed his hole cards to Leo, and made Leo understand that the other party was hypnotized by his previous psionic energy, so he saw himself as a wizard apprentice, and he was also a wizard apprentice in the background.

In this regard, Leo deliberately put a serious expression on his face, and stopped, making a contemplative look. Seeing Leo like this, Witzmir also stopped, did not bother, but stood quietly aside, waiting for the final answer.

After a while, Leo recovered from his contemplation, looked at the slightly nervous Witzmir, and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, after the banquet, we will find another place to talk about it in detail." ”

"I've got a nice place. Thinking that he had succeeded in convincing Leo, Witzmere's nervousness immediately relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "You should have heard of the flower shop in the twenty-seventh arrondissement! I have booked a room there all year round, just tell the front desk, come to me, and the waiter there will take you to my room, and I will stay there all these days." ”

Leo didn't answer, just nodded slightly, walked past Vitzmere, and walked briskly onto the wall that separated the inner and outer towns, followed by a smiling Vitzmir.

Because the 1st to 10th districts are a complete vine platform, the layout of the urban area here is much more casual than that of the outer urban areas. A large number of gardens are scattered on this huge floating platform, and many trees are planted in the garden, which are different from the twisted trees in the forest outside the city, but they are somewhat similar to the trees in the world of Velon, but they are not as tall.

These gardens are dotted with large and small aristocratic estates, all of which belong to the nobles and their vassals who live here, and the architecture of the estates has its own characteristics, but they all maintain a common characteristic, that is, all the buildings are based on asymmetry.

Although the boundaries of the city were not clearly defined by lakes and floating platforms as in the outer districts, the nobles who lived here divided a complete vine into ten districts according to the different types of trees planted and the stone slabs of the roads.

The people of this dream world seem to be very sensitive to the number ten, for example, there are ten chief wizards of the Wizards Association, there are ten chief pharmacists of the Apothecary Association, there are ten districts in Silvermoon City, there are ten towns in the String Moon Lake, and the area of each town on the lake is one hundred, which is a multiple of ten, and there are ten guard castles in the outer fog area, etc.

The number of noble families in Hushang Town has not escaped the limit of ten, there are ten noble families, each noble family occupies a city, and the rest of the people who have obtained noble status can only join these ten families and become vassals.

Although on the surface, the nobles who became vassals lost their way to advancement, but in fact, except for the Alcott family, which is the permanent ruler, the other nine noble families cannot change their clan names, but the rulers within the family can replace them by any means, even if they are vassals, they can one day become the main clan.

Therefore, the struggle within the nine aristocratic families is very fierce, and those in power must always hold on to the power in their hands, beware of the people below to snatch it away, and the people below need to constantly attack the prestige of the people in power above, deduct real power from the other party little by little, and ascend to a higher position.

An aristocratic philosopher in the town of First Lake once said that any by-product of a power game does not exist as long as there is no evidence. This sentence was recognized by all the aristocratic families in Hushang Town, and it was even regarded as an unwritten aristocratic agreement, any by-product of power struggles such as murder and framing, without evidence, even if the murder happened in front of everyone, did not exist.

It's just that the ridiculous thing is that the aristocratic philosopher who said this aristocratic law ended up being the murderer of a certain murder because of a button that was accidentally dropped, and was finally thrown into the String Moon Lake in public.

The power games within these aristocratic families are not known to the ordinary citizens outside the walls, and Leo, an outsider, is able to learn about these things because he has acquired a diary, which also originates from a nobleman in the town of Third Lake, and the person who sold him this diary is also Witzmir.

"The garden banquet held by the Alcott family was the most interesting, and the other nine noble families would be present, and the banquet would be a bloody arena of intrigue and intrigue, which could not be seen anywhere else. Witzmere walked up to Leo, looked at everything in front of him, and reminded: "However, Mr. Leo, you must be careful, just be a bystander, and don't participate in this game, otherwise, even if you have the status of a wizard's apprentice, you will still have to abide by the rules of nobility in the game." ”

Hearing Witzmere's reminder, Leo smiled noncommittally and turned to walk not far from the steam elevator.

After the two of them descended to the ground through the elevator, the Alcott family had sent servants to wait here, and when they saw Leo, they immediately greeted them, and after checking their invitations, they were brought to a carriage.

The style of this carriage resembles that of the world of Velon, but the carriage does not have horses to pull the cart.

It was seen that behind the carriage the builder had installed a small steam device, and an additional crank steering post had been added to the driver's seat of the driver in front. After Leo and Witzmere had boarded the carriage, the servant in the driver's seat pressed down the lever on his left hand, and with a steam whistle, the carriage slowly moved forward, and under the control of the servant's right-hand lever, it turned a corner in the wide road and drove into the path across the road.

Leo was a little surprised to see the horse-drawn carriage-style steam car. Because since he came to this dream world, everything he has seen in the past few days, although there are many novel items, such as blade machine crossbows, such as single steam elevators and other mechanical devices, but most of the prototypes of these machines are traceable in the world of Vinon.

These mechanisms were either improvements on a prototype or an exact copy of the prototype, but the steam carriage he was riding in at the moment had no analogues in the world of Velon.
