Leo knew that the so-called ability to perceive other people's malice should only be the analysis and reaction of the brain control device to other people's brainwaves, which is the basic function of the brain control device, but it is not the real function of the device.

Leo played with the brain control device for a moment, and then said coldly to Sean, "It's indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that it's broken and can't be used." ”

The smile on Sean's face paused slightly, but quickly returned to normal, and said calmly: "How is this possible, it's just that you don't know how to use it, as long as you agree to my request, I will tell you how to use this thing after I pass the ceremony safely." ”

"I don't mean to say it's broken," Leo watched Sean finish, and then said unhurriedly, "If this thing isn't broken, and you're still in control of it, then this thing will definitely be able to sense that I want to kill you just now, and will remind you to be careful." ”

Sean's smile was a little uncontrollable after Leo said this, after all, anyone who heard that someone in front of him was going to kill him, whether it was true or a joke, it was impossible to laugh.

"Your joke is really funny. Sean, with a stiff smile on his face, was a little speechless, trying to relieve his embarrassment now.

"Although the thing is bad, it is a relic of prehistoric civilization after all, and I happen to be working on this aspect recently, so this thing can be used as research material, but it is not enough. Leo did not hand over the brain control device in his hand to Sean, but continued to play with it in his hand, and said that this thing could be used as a reward, Sean's slightly nervous mood relaxed a little, and then Leo was heard to continue: " I know that in addition to participating in the sea god sacrifice ceremony, you are also here to reopen the trade between the Kingdom of England and the continent of Veron, and since you can join this operation, you must have a certain say in the team, so no matter what the outcome of your final negotiations with the United Kingdom is, Sylvia and I need at least two trade places. ”

"It can't be. Sean immediately shook his head and said, "Although I am one of the members of the mission, I am in charge of the matter of the sea god's sacrifice ceremony, and the negotiation of reopening the sea trade is the responsibility of others, and it is impossible for me to interfere in this matter." ”

Sylvia retorted at this time: "Is it really impossible to interfere? Your Excellency Sean should know my identity very well, and it should not be difficult to find out your authority in the mission. ”

As soon as the lie was revealed, it was exposed in person, which made Sean not know what to react to for a while, so he could only pick up the fruit wine on the table and take a few sips to relieve his embarrassment at the moment.

After calming down the embarrassment in his heart, Sean didn't make up any other excuses, and said truthfully: "I can indeed exert some influence on trade negotiations, but the people over there and I are not in the same system, and the influence of both sides is limited. ”

Sylvia relaxed the conditions and said, "Your Excellency just needs to help us fight for it as much as possible, even if there is only one place." ”

When Shaun Donald heard this, he didn't try to fight for better conditions, but seriously thought about whether his influence could win a place.

After a long while, he said, "I can't give you an answer to this matter for the time being, I need to find out the specific situation, and I will give you a clear answer tomorrow," and as he spoke, he looked at Leo again and said, "Now that we have reached a deal?"

"Yes, we have reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Leo nodded, then handed over the brain control device in his hand and said, "When you give a clear answer tomorrow, it will be considered a formal agreement." ”

"That's good. Sean didn't reach out to take the brain control device, but stood up, ready to leave, and said, "The things are placed here for you, and if you don't give the answer you want tomorrow, and you don't complete the agreement, you will give me the things." ”

With that, after seeing Leo take back the brain control device, he saluted Sylvia and walked out of the room.

After Sean Donald left, Sylvia walked up to Leo, looked at the brain control, and asked with a little questioning, "Is this thing really broken?"

"Of course not, it's just that there's not enough energy. Leo smiled, shook his head slightly, and then put the brain control device on the table, followed by the general recorder exposed at the wrist, and quickly controlled the general recorder to link the brain control device.

The brain control device of the Bricuri people belongs to one of the highest secret technology equipment of the medium cosmic civilization, and it is impossible to penetrate the outer firewall of the brain control device with the ability of the general recorder, but this does not mean that the general recorder is not useful at all, at least it can read the public data of the brain control device, which not only includes the original data of the brain control device, but also the complete user manual, which also makes him understand that this brain control device should belong to the civilian level, not a military brain control device of a higher security level.

If this is a military-level brain control device, Leo will not use a general recorder to test the bottom line of this thing's secrecy at all, because according to his understanding, in order to protect the secrets hidden in the military-level brain control device, the Bliculi people have installed a small antimatter bomb in each military-level brain control device, and the power of this antimatter bomb is enough to make a castle of the size of Castle Black instantly paint into ashes.

Although instructions for use were found, they were of no use to Leo, as they were written in the Blikuri script and did not follow the rules of the Supreme Council of the Universe, requiring a copy of the Universal Commonum to be attached to any product.

Fortunately, even if he didn't explain it, Leo still scanned the internal structure of the brain control device through the scanning device that came with the universal recorder, and deduced from some details of the internal structure that the energy system of this device was a light energy harvesting system, so he walked to the window sill and placed the brain control device in his hand in the sunlight on the window sill.

Sylvia also leaned in, looking at the brain control device with some expectation.

For Sylvia, being able to obtain a trade quota at the same time as obtaining this friend and foe artifact, which is particularly famous in the secret agent world, is already very cost-effective, and it doesn't even matter if you don't even need a trade quota.

With the help of this friend or foe artifact, she was able to get rid of the annoying bugs in her department more easily, and she was able to find trustworthy allies to cooperate with in the Kingdom government.

After a long time, the sunlight outside began to dim, and the time advanced to dusk, and the brain control device on the windowsill still did not move, and if it weren't for Leo's confidence and calmness, she would have thought that the thing was indeed broken.

However, as the last rays of sunlight outside disappeared and the sky darkened, candles were lit in the room, and the installation on the windowsill that had absorbed the day's sunlight had begun to show some changes that could not be detected in the sunlight, such as a faint glow on the surface.

Leo took the brain control device back, then reconnected it with the universal recorder, checked the internal situation of the device, and then handed the device to Sylvia, and said, "Next time you have time, you can put it in the sun for half a day, you can try this thing now." ”

"How to use this thing. Sylvia took the device and asked.

Leo carefully recalled the methods collected by the Earth Federation about the use of brain control devices, although those methods were not suitable for the current situation, but they still had a reference, so he said: "Don't worry about it, just grab it and focus on your target." ”

As he spoke, he saw the light emanating from the surface of the brain control device in Sylvia's hand, and the color began to glow pale blue.

"This should be considered friendly, right?" Sylvia recalled all the rumors about this thing, judged the meaning of the light blue light, and raised her eyebrows with some displeasure, looked at Leo, and said, "Am I just a slightly friendly woman in your heart?"

Leo said calmly: "This thing is just a detection device, its basic working principle is to collect the subtleties of brain waves in emotional changes, so as to judge what the person's state of mind is at the moment, the data it detects is only for reference, don't completely believe it." ”

Sylvia looked at Leo with some puzzlement, because Leo's words were mixed with a lot of terms that were only available to the Earth Federation, and she only understood the last sentence.

Seeing Sylvia like this, Leo motioned for Sylvia to look at the light on the brain control device again, only to see that the color of the light light instantly changed from light blue to dark blue, then to deep purple, and then to crimson for hatred.

"What's going on?" Sylvia watched in amazement as the light of the brain control device in her hand changed.

Leo explained, "Quite simply, this thing is only useful if the subject is unprepared, and once the other party is mentally guarded and knows how to do it, there is a way to produce the desired detection result." For example, I have just adjusted my emotions through various things around me, when I look at little Tolan, it is a dark blue that represents strong love, when I look at the dark sea outside, it is a deep purple that represents worry, and when I look at the ugly vase on your table, it is a deep red that represents extreme disgust and hatred. You see, it only takes different intuitive emotions to be invested in different objects to change the outcome of the observation path of this thing. ”

Sylvia listened to Leo's words, looked at the brain control device in her hand, and inevitably produced an emotion that could not be traced.

Then, she threw the brain-controlled device that she had been desperate for not long ago into her desk drawer, and then she suddenly seemed to remember something, turned her head to look at Leo, and said, "Do you hate that vase I picked out so much?"

Faced with the question that could never have a correct answer, Leo didn't answer, just shrugged his shoulders.

The next day, Sean Donald came to Castle Black again, this time not alone, but with the negotiating envoy for the resumption of trade, apparently he could not get a trade place directly from the envoy, but could only bring someone who could call the shots and let Sylvia convince him.

Although Sean's approach was a bit opportunistic, neither Leo nor Sylvia cared too much, it was not much different for them than getting a spot, and it was not difficult to convince the envoy to take a spot.

Indeed, it took less than twenty minutes to negotiate, and after Sylvia offered her terms, the negotiations had already come to fruition, and Sylvia was given a trade place, along with which was a steam cargo ship provided by the Kingdom of England to sail safely on the Grey Mist.

Although the steam cargo ship belonged to Sylvia after the trade agreement was signed, the people who drove the ship could only be Inge, and the other porters and other hard-working crew members were hired by Sylvia, and once the ship was decommissioned due to damage or service life, it would be recovered by the Kingdom of England, and would be provided to the trading partner with another steamship of the same type, of course, this ship needed to be purchased by the trading partner for money.

Although the Kingdom of England tried every possible way to grasp the secret that his ship could safely pass through the gray fog sea, but this measure obviously would not have any effect on Leo, as long as the ship arrived, Leo believed that it would not take a day for him to find the secret of the ship passing through the gray fog safely, as for whether he could restore this effect by himself, it would depend on whether the power used in the secret involved the power of the sea god and other powers that he could not imitate through the power of nightmares.

After reaching a trade agreement with the mission of the Kingdom of England and becoming the first person to obtain a trade quota, the castle was also very lively, and some of the kingdom magnates who heard the news sent their representatives to inquire about Sylvia in the past two days.

It is clear that the upper echelons of the United Kingdom attach great importance to the resumption of trade cooperation between the Kingdom of England and Georgia, and most of them are inclined to approve of it, and they have not yet expressed their position and are more concerned about the maritime hegemony of the Kingdom of England.

There is no doubt that if the Kingdom of England really reached a maritime trade agreement with the countries of the Vilen continent, or even with other countries on the continent, and provided ships that only they could make to avoid the erosion of the gray fog, then the hegemony of the Kingdom of England on the sea would have far surpassed that of other countries, and it would not be a fool's dream to become the only overlord on the sea.

This concern made the high-level of the kingdom never make a clear statement after hearing the arrival of the trade mission of the Kingdom of England, and just asked the city government of Landall to entertain the mission, and now that Sylvia has preemptively signed a trade agreement belonging to her own and obtained a trade quota, her opinion has naturally become the most needed reference data for the high-level of the United Kingdom.
