Chapter 59: The Secret of the Twins
Leo took the box, placed it on the table, opened it and looked at it.
There is nothing peculiar about this wizard's notebook, there is no psyker attached to it, it is superficially made of unknown animal skin, the cover is engraved with a withered tree, the pages are fairly well preserved, and judging by the extensive wear and tear around the edges, this notebook has been frequently read for a long time.
Leo didn't open the note again to check the contents, closed the box directly, then took out the psionic device, handed it to Martin, and said, "Such an important transaction, High Priest Denis, was handed over to you, it seems that he still trusts you." ”
After Martin took the psionic device, he put it in the box and said, "The relationship between us is difficult to explain in one sentence, although we are not relatives, but we are closer than relatives. ”
"But you're experimenting with your loved ones. Leo sneered, "I don't know if High Priest Denis knows about this?" I don't think he knows, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked you to help him with this." However, I have to admire you for being able to make those clergy willing to keep secrets for you. ”
When Martin heard what Leo said, the movement of his hand stopped, and then with a blank expression, he looked at Leo and said, "Mr. Dodd, what are you talking about, I can't understand a word." ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just take it as a joke!" Leo didn't continue to squeeze Martin, but instead asked, "High Priest Denis should have told you what happened down the earth today, right?"
"Yes. Martin nodded, calm.
Leo looked at Martin's expression with interest and said, "You don't seem to have any ideas, as if you're listening to something that has nothing to do with you." ”
"Does this have anything to do with me?" Martin asked rhetorically.
Hearing Martin's emotionless rhetorical question, Leo stared at Martin for a long time, and finally sighed sincerely: "If you don't die halfway, you will definitely be able to make a great career." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, I think so too. Martin gladly accepted, and said with great confidence.
"Let's get down to business!" Leo pointed to the bone on the table and said, "Sean asked you to negotiate, you should be given full authority to deal with it, I only listen to the offer once, if it doesn't satisfy me, the deal will be canceled." ”
Martin was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Mr. Dodd, this is not in accordance with the rules, we should ......"
Leo interrupted Martin very domineeringly, and said, "No need! it doesn't matter if you follow your rules or not, as long as you follow my rules." ”
Hearing Leo's words, Martin knew that there was no room for things to change, so he sat opposite Leo and pondered carefully for a long time, and Leo was not in a hurry, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Wait a minute. After a long while, Martin suddenly stood up, saluted Leo, and then walked out of the room without even taking the leather bag that he had kept beside him, and left the door open.
After about twenty minutes or so, I saw Martin walk in from the outside with another leather bag, sat down opposite Leo, opened the leather bag, and took out a document from the leather bag, and said, "Your Excellency, I hope to be able to exchange these things for this scepter." ”
Leo took the document and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel stunned by Sean's generosity, and even felt that he had gone too far.
Four of these documents were conveyancing documents, all located in Port Set, with an apartment in the municipal district, a villa in the garden area, an office building in the commercial district, and a warehouse in the docklands, and a cash cheque from a platinum bank in the amount of 100,000 gold guilders.
The last document is a knighthood that can be given a knighthood by name, and although there are no privileges and no hereditary status, a nobleman can get extra help in many things.
What really puzzled Leo was that at the bottom of the papers, there was a black metal card, which was not engraved with any patterns or words, but Leo could feel the psionic energy attached to the card.
When he picked up the card, the parabrain system suggested that it was a psionic device.
"This black market pass, only with this card, can you trade in the black market around the world. Martin could see that Leo was very interested in this card, so he took the initiative to introduce: "I got this card from a friend in my early years, but I never used it, it is a pity to put it with me, and now it is used as an extra chip for this deal, I hope you will like it." ”
Leo put the card on the table, looked at Martin with some confusion, and said, "I'm curious how much Sean has given you to help him so much?"
Martin smiled and said, "I just want to have one more friend, and a friend who is powerful and can help me." ”
Leo was silent for a moment, pulled out the Garden District Villa and the knighthood from the papers, and said, "Fill in the doctor's name on these two documents. As he spoke, he pulled out the warehouse documents in the dock area and said, "This document has Jason's name written on it." ”
As he spoke, he signed the two title documents of the apartment in the civic district and the office building in the commercial district, picked up the check again, and said: "Divide it into three parts, ask for a cash check from the Platinum Bank, give it to the doctor, and write the names of me and Jason on the other two." ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Martin smiled as he picked up the document to be changed and signed, and walked out of the room.
After Martin left, Leo got up and knocked on Jason and Nelson's rooms, calling them up and gathering them in his room, and then told them about the Scepter trade to Sean and the distribution of the goods.
"Are you saying that I now have 30,000 gold guilders, and I am still the owner of a warehouse in Port Set?" Jason, who was holding a flintlock cannon, looked at Leo in a daze, and confirmed again.
Leo nodded and added, "You need to sign it and then return to the Kingdom of England to be valid." ”
"Oh!" Jason replied simply, then sat down on the couch again, wiping his gun intently, not paying any attention to the 30,000 gold and the warehouse in Port Set.
Compared with Jason, Nelson, who was born in Port Set, knew very well how much a villa he had obtained was worth, not to mention that the knighthood was his dream for many years, and he looked a little excited, and said with some anxiety: "These things are too valuable, I didn't help at all, and I dragged my feet, now let me take these things, I really ......"
"These things are all exchanged for the Seagod Scepter of the White Rose Family, you are a member of the White Rose Family, which is equivalent to trading your family's things with others, but Jason and I are a little ashamed. Leo explained, then raised his hand to signal Nelson to stop talking, followed by a fierce medicine, and said: "Catherine will leave with us tomorrow, if things go well in Miria City, she will definitely go back to the Kingdom of England with us, and you must arrange a comfortable environment for others to live in when the time comes!"
"Kay, Kena, she, she's going to leave with us, leave?" Nelson asked, stammering, at a loss for what to say.
After seeing Leo nod, he sat on the couch with a smirk on his face, looking even more silly than Jason next to him.
Martin quickly took the revised transfer contract and the cash check, and Leo and the others signed their names on it one by one, received the contract in their backpack, and waited for the return to the port of Sette in the Kingdom of England to go through the property transfer procedures, and officially owned the property in the contract.
When the matter was done, Martin took the bone, and the other two departed.
Leo put the wizard apprentice notebook into the box of the wizard's notebook of the wilderness, he didn't plan to read these two notebooks for the time being, in addition to the fact that the spirit and body were not in the best condition, and more importantly, the words on the two notebooks he didn't recognize.
He had asked Nelson for advice just now, and the wizard's apprentice notebook was in Old Faran, which he could learn directly from Catherine, and he had never seen another language, but judging from the structure of some words, it should also be a kind of ancient Veron language, and it would take a specialized linguist to identify it.
Nothing else happened overnight, and although Leo did not fall into a deep sleep, he was almost rested, and his daily value and psionic energy had recovered a lot, enough for him to transform the Twins' psionic wavelengths.
This time, Leo plans to put the twins together to transform, because the heavy nature of the twins themselves makes it difficult for Leo to hold them and transform them, so he can only put them on the table, put his hands on the two daggers, and then activate the perfect control skill and inject psionic energy.
Almost like the situation of the king and queen's transformation, the process was very smooth, but when the Twins' psionic wavelength transformation was completed and Leo's psionic wavelength was agreed, the Twins' psionic energy did not send a psionic message to Leo containing the introduction of techniques and abilities, but directly dragged Leo's spirit into an illusion.
Leo felt like he had turned into a ghost, floating above a primeval forest, and below was a primitive tribe that was making a religious sacrifice, and the priest in charge of the sacrifice held two bone daggers in his hands, and used them to cut open the sacrifices, dig out the heart, and throw it into a pool of liquid that resembled black oil at the top of the altar.
After that, such sacrificial ceremonies were carried out again and again, even if the original tribe was annexed, the new tribe would continue to sacrifice, and the number of sacrifices accumulated little by little, from thousands, to tens of thousands, and later even to millions, and the original black oily liquid also had a trace of blood.
Until one day, when the tribe where the altar was located was broken by a group of warriors wearing knight's armor, and the tribe was about to be destroyed, the priest stood by the pool, and with his own hands used these two sacrificial knives to cut through millions of sacrifices, he cut his chest, dug out his heart, and sent it into the pool to complete the last sacrifice.
All along, the calm and waveless pool boiled like boiling water, followed by a mysterious being that looked like bubbles piled up, but with two large eyes, floated from the pool and floated to the top of the altar.
Everyone under the altar was stunned by the scene in front of them, and before they could react, the bubbles on the mysterious being's body bloomed with dazzling light, and these rays of light were like substantial swords, cutting towards everyone below.
In the blink of an eye, both the invading alien warriors and the defending tribesmen were all sliced to pieces.
After that, the mysterious being stripped of two bubbles, and at the same time, all the iron tools in the tribe flew up as if they had lost their weight, and were sent into the bubbles, which were compressed into two masses of liquid, and then the two bone sacrificial knives also flew up, entered the bubbles, and fused with the two liquids into one, becoming the twins in Leo's hands now, and fell back to the altar.
Just as it was all over, the mysterious being suddenly turned around, and a pair of huge eyes looked at Leo's place, with a curious look in his eyes, as if he could see Leo thousands of years later.
At this moment, Leo sensed danger, which came from the volitional cordon set by his secondary brain system, which meant that his willpower was now rapidly declining.
"Turn on the mechanical will. Leo didn't hesitate to order the paracerebral system.
For a moment, Leo felt as if he had changed back to the state of a biological weapon in the past, without any emotion in his heart, without any abnormal emotions from the outside world, and his will daily value stopped declining at this time.
In this way, Leo stared at the mysterious being, and it was not until the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the forest outside the tribe that the mysterious being withdrew his gaze from Leo and sank into the black oil liquid in the altar.
The moment the mysterious existence disappeared from the surface of the water, the black oil liquid also decreased at an extremely fast rate, and finally disappeared completely, but there were no loopholes in the pool, and there was no trace of the liquid in the pool.
Next, Leo saw an old knight in fine armor walk up to the altar and pick up the twins, and then the illusion changed rapidly.
Time also advanced in a change of more than ten years, Leo saw that the old knight had given the twins to his son before he died, and the knight's son seemed to be inspired by some kind of fortune to buy two of the best cross swords of the time, put them together with the twins, and then dug out the heart of an innocent girl, dripping blood on the twins and the longsword.
The twins immediately turned into two blobs of liquid, fused into the sword, and took the form of a sword.
After obtaining these two long swords, the young knight was invincible on the battlefield, gaining countless glory and power, and became one of the most powerful men in the country, until he died and passed the twins to his son, who reverted back to daggers.
In the following generations, the descendants of the knights lived in extreme luxury, ruining their family fortunes, and the last heirs even had to become gladiators to pay off their debts.
On the day he became a gladiator, the heir also received some kind of revelation like his ancestors, and found a pair of gladiators' fingerless fists and turned the twins into fists using the same sacrificial method.
It's just that his luck is very bad, the person he captured as a sacrifice is the daughter of a powerful person, and he was soon found out and directly executed, and the twins changed back to the state of daggers.
When the illusion progressed, everything stopped, and Leo's spirit returned to reality, only with more knowledge in his mind that he didn't have before.
