Why the royal family of England would spend a lot of money to build a garden palace that they would not use themselves is a very perplexing thing for the people of Ingge.

It was also suggested to the National Assembly that the real reason for the royal family to build such an unused garden palace should be ascertained on the grounds of investigating the source of funding for the garden palace.

But it is a pity that all the funds spent by the royal family to build the garden are the funds of the royal treasury, and not a penny of the treasury funds are used, and even if the parliament wants to investigate, it cannot find any legal reason that can support their investigation.

Eventually, the matter was settled.

However, even so, there are still many people who are curious about this, after all, such a large garden palace is not only expensive to build, but also very expensive to maintain, but even in the most difficult financial period, the royal family has not cut off the maintenance of this garden palace.

Someone calculated that if the annual maintenance funds of the royal family were to be accumulated, the amount would be enough to rebuild a seminary.

So among the various speculations about the Garden Palace, there is no shortage of conspiracy theories, and some anti-royal people believe that this Garden Palace must be hiding the weapons that the royal family is preparing to use to subvert parliament and regain power.

However, with the opening of the Garden Palace to foreign missions and royal guests, such rumors have decreased considerably.

On the way to the residence of the Spiritual Theatre Troupe, Vaschi tells Leo about the Garden Palace, and Leo inadvertently lands his gaze on the stone path at his feet as he listens.

The secrets of the Garden Palace have plagued most of the Inge people for years, but Leo has already found the secrets of the Garden Palace from the moment he enters the garden.

Just as most of the government offices in Turin City have placed jammers, this garden palace has also placed very powerful jammers, in this case, Leo's spiritual network is very suppressed, and it can only cover a zone or two around his body, and his perception will be disturbed, and the information he harvests is incomplete.

However, even so, Leo was able to sense that the subgrade underneath the stone path was very special, and that it was all made of sacrificial stones.

The sacrificial stone is a very special stone, this stone is specially used to build a religious altar, the amount of mineral deposits is very small, nearly ninety percent of the stone mines in the world of Velen are in the hands of various churches, only a small number are in the hands of stone merchants.

Although the quantity of this stone is scarce, but its material belongs to which loose sandstone material, is not suitable for the construction of large buildings, its preciousness only lies in its religious value, so this kind of stone is not much in the folk circulation, but also because of the scarcity of quantity, so the price is extremely high.

If all the roads under the Garden Palace were to be built with sacrificial stones, the cost of these cornerstones alone would be comparable to the cost of the rest of the Wreath Palace.

"Sacrificial ground!" Leo quickly came up with something that fit the secrets of the Garden Palace.

The sacrificial ground is an upgraded version of the altar, and its function is also for sacrifice, as for the effect, Leo is not clear, and the information in his mind has no relevant content, because the sacrificial ground appeared in a very short time, as short as less than twenty years, and the reason why it disappeared in such a short time is mainly because the cost is too expensive, even if it is a church as large as the Lord of the Sky Church, I am afraid it is difficult to support the construction cost of a large number of sacrificial grounds.

Leo can imagine why the royal family of England would spend a huge amount of money to build such a sacrificial ground, which is nothing more than a sacrifice to the god of the sea.

As the gods gradually disappeared from the world of Velon, the god of the sea no longer answered the prayers of the believers, even if the person who prayed was his patron, so in order to get the god of the sea's answer, the royal family of England did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build a sacrificial ground.

It is unknown whether the result was responded to by Poseidon, but judging from the follow-up of the Garden Palace, it seems that the Inge royal family did not get what they wanted.

It's just that the sacrificial ground is not another building, it can't be abandoned if you want to, it needs to be demolished through some special ceremonies, and if the English royal family holds these ceremonies, it will undoubtedly give the aggressive parliament at that time a handle and deprive more royal rights, and in the end the English royal family can only leave it idle and spend a lot of money every year to maintain the place.

After walking some distance on the main road of the garden, the two turned onto a garden path, and after a dense wooded road, the scenery ahead suddenly opened up.

I saw a circle of carefully manicured grass around an artificial lake, and small tents were set up on the grass, and a group of men and women came and went in and out of the tents, gathering for some rehearsals, and a large number of craftsmen were trimming some performance props, and some painters were doing the final inspection of the backdrop needed for the evening performance.

Vasqui's clothes were very conspicuous, and as soon as he came out of the woods path, he had already been seen by the people of the camp, who obviously had a very bad sense of Vasqi, and the people who were still discussing the theater performance were quiet, and looked at Vasqi and Leo with vigilance and disgust, and the craftsmen and painters also stopped what they were doing, and their eyes moved with Vaschi.

"Looks like you're not very likable here. Leo looked at the people around him and said with a slight smile.

"It's just a bunch of boring idiots!" Vaschi replied coldly, giving Leo a blank look.

At this time, a plump young woman walked out of the crowd, walked in front of Vasqi, and said in an indifferent tone: "Why are you here again? Didn't you make enough trouble last time? The last performance had to be postponed for two days because of you, and we almost lost ...... because of the breach of contract."

Vasiqi didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, so he spoke directly and said: "Instead of stopping me like this, you should take me to Mitty, you should know very well that if I want to see Mitty, you can't stop me." ”

"Beast Soul Warrior?" Leo on the side stimulated his spiritual vision after feeling the aura of power on the young woman's body, and then saw a strange snake phantom emerging behind the young woman.

Although Leo didn't know how to distinguish between the strength and weakness of the beast soul warriors, judging from the virtual and real situation of the beast soul, it was obvious that the beast soul of the young woman in front of him was much stronger than the beast soul of Passa Kaguran.

The beast soul on Passa Kagulan's body only has a vague form, and the illusion of the beast soul behind this young woman is already very clear and concrete, even the scales on the snake's body are clearly visible, and even the snake's eyes are very smart, as if they are alive.

At the same time as the beast soul was strong, the spiritual sense was also enhanced, and he felt Leo's gaze very keenly, and the snake's head also turned to Leo, and the cold snake eyes were aimed at Leo, and the scarlet snake letter swept away, as if collecting Leo's information.

The movement of the beast soul was also fed back to the young woman, who turned her head to look at Leo and looked up and down, but she couldn't see anything unusual from Leo, so she teased at Vaschi, "Who is he?

"Lover?" Vaschi smiled, turned to look at Leo, and said, "I don't mind if he wants to." ”

Leo frowned and said, "I don't like jokes like this. Then he said to the young woman, "I have come to find Mitty Grant, my name is Leo, Leo Dodd." ”

"Leo Dodd?" the young woman had obviously heard Leo's name, and when she heard it, she looked him in shock, then looked him up and down carefully, and said with a little surprise, "You are not at all the same as I imagined!"

"What do you think he looks like?" said Vaschi.

"At the very least, you should be like a scholar. The young woman pursed her lips and said, "Not like a warrior." ”

Leo raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when Vaschi on the side smiled: "He was originally a warrior, and he is a very powerful warrior. ”

Hearing Vaschi's drawing, the expression on the young woman's face changed slightly, and her eyes looking at Leo were also a little eager to try, and there was also an intention in her expression to weigh Leo to be qualified to be called a powerful warrior.

Seeing the young woman's expression, Vaschi took two steps to the side, deliberately moving away from Leo's side to make a little space.

Leo looked at Vasqi, who was deliberately provoking trouble, and the young woman with a hot brain in front of him, sighed slightly, and released the life energy locked in his body.

At the moment when his life energy emanated, all the people around him who could feel his life energy felt a kind of life level suppression, and they didn't dare to look directly at Leo, and Vasqi, who was closest to Leo, and the young woman felt it the most.

The beast soul behind the young woman seemed to feel this life suppression, and wrapped its body in it, entrenched herself, and retracted her head, completely defensive. The young woman herself felt uncomfortable, but she didn't understand what was going on, so she instinctively pushed back a distance to relieve herself a little.

Vaschi also looked at Leo with a surprised expression, and the mental impact made her unable to look at Leo for too long, her gaze shifted to other places from time to time, and she retreated a distance to barely be able to withstand this life suppression.

Looking at the reactions around him, Leo identified two things. One thing is that the beast soul of the beast soul warrior can take the initiative to help the parasite bear extra power, which means that the beast soul has a certain amount of intelligence. The other thing was that Vasqi, as he expected, did not reach level seven, or even level five, otherwise he would not have been affected by the life level of him, a level five psionic being.

Feeling that it was almost over, Leo locked the life energy back inside his body, and the life suppression that enveloped him disappeared immediately.

All the people around who felt the pressure couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and they all looked at each other and didn't understand what had just happened, but Vaschi and the young woman looked at Leo when the pressure was gone, with an inexplicable look in their eyes, as if they were looking at some monster.

"Can you take me to Miss Mitty now?" Leo asked, ignoring the two of them's gazes, toward the young woman.

"Miss, it's Miss Mitty. Come with me!" the young woman collected her emotions, corrected Leo's words, and then turned and led Leo and Vaschi into the camp.

The three of them came to a relatively fine tent in the middle of the camp, and then the young woman asked Leo and Vasqi to stay outside the tent for a while, and then went inside, and after a while, they came out and signaled that they could go in.

The space inside the tent seems to be larger than it looks from the outside, a delicate blanket is spread on the ground, on which are placed some small furniture made of high-grade wood, a very valuable crystal lamp hangs on the top of the tent, and a dozen special candles are placed in it, and the whole tent is illuminated as bright as the outside through the light refracted by the crystal.

Inside the tent there were two people, a maid and the other sitting at a dressing table, applying makeup with the help of the maid, without getting up to greet the arrival of outsiders.

The moment Leo entered the tent, his eyes did not fall on Mitty Grant in front of the dressing table, but looked at the maid thoughtfully, although the look on his face was not too abnormal, but his heart was already like a storm, because he knew this maid, and this maid was the psionic puppet maid named Maria from Peter Alcott in the town of Silvermoon Lake.

Leo remembers that the last time he saw Peter Alcot and his psionic maid was before entering the ruined capital, after which he separated from Peter Alcourt and entered the Great Library, while Peter Alcourt and his maid entered the rest of the ruined capital for other reasons.

However, he could never have imagined that he would see this psionic puppet maid named Maria here again.

Surprised, Leo realized that he seemed to be mistaken, because the maid in front of him, whose appearance, shape, and clothes were exactly the same as the psionic puppet, was a living person, not a puppet.

"Maria, go down first, I'll call you later. The woman sitting at the dressing table commanded the maid.

Leo, who heard the maid's name, was suspicious again, but the maid didn't look unusual when she turned her head to look at him, and seemed very calm, as if she was looking at a stranger.

The maid then obeyed, saluted the woman, and walked past Leo and out of the tent.

"Something is wrong!" At first, Leo didn't feel it, but soon he felt that the maid named Maria just now was very wrong, because according to the reaction of ordinary people, seeing strangers will definitely instinctively feel curious, and look at each other a few more times, and there will be some curiosity and speculation in his eyes.

But the maid named Maria just now didn't have any emotions that she should have, and her eyes always remained cold, especially when she looked at Leo, her eyes seemed to be deliberately pretending to be emotional, and she didn't show any emotions she should have, which was obviously contrary to common sense.

"I've finally seen you, Leo Dodd. Just as Leo was suspicious and about to go out of the tent to find the maid to figure it out, a voice pulled him back from his contemplation, and saw the woman in front of the dressing table simply tie her hair that was not fully arranged, then stood up, turned to look at Leo, and said with a hint of strange emotion.
