Chapter 460: Misunderstood Sue
Late at night, Leo, who was sleeping in bed, did not wait for the butcher of the hotel, but waited for another uninvited guest.
"You're also here for Count Drake's legacy?" Sue came out of the shadows of the room and stood beside Leo's bed, seemingly knowing that Leo was not asleep, so he asked directly.
"Are you too?" asked Leo flatly, without sitting up from the bed or opening his eyes.
Su was silent for a moment and said, "We can cooperate." ”
Leo opened his eyes and looked at Sue and said, "How do you want to cooperate?"
Su said in a deep voice: "After finding Count Drake's inheritance, I will only take one thing, and the rest can be given to you." ”
Leo was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Could the thing you picked be a Seagod artifact?"
"Why are you ......" Su was also surprised, but soon realized something, looked at Leo with a frown, and said, "You are also here for the Seagod Artifact?"
"I accepted the employment of the Inge royal family," Leo did not deny it, nodded, and said: "If you are well-informed, you should also know that the Inge royal family's Poseidon Scepter was also found by me." ”
"Are you a treasure hunter for the Inger royal family?" Sue asked.
"It's not. Leo shook his head.
"If you think about it, you won't be one of those hyenas who dig up corpses. Sue's face was full of contempt when she mentioned the royal treasure hunter, and then she said with a straight face: "I accepted the employment of the Congress of the Kingdom of America. ”
"The Kingdom of Megaliga?" Leo was stunned for a moment, just now he had also guessed who Sue would accept for employment, but the answer he thought of was the Kingdom of Sigma. Although the Kingdom of Sigma is already the overlord of the sea in the past, its maritime strength is still very strong, and it also has the opportunity to regain the position of the overlord of the sea from the Inge Kingdom, so it should be the last country in the entire Velen world that wants the Inge royal family to obtain another Seagod artifact.
But he didn't expect that the Kingdom of Megaliga, which was far away on another continent, would also participate in this matter, and also hired Su, a powerful witch, and it was obvious that he had already moved the idea of snatching it without getting the Seagod artifact.
Leo couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why did the Kingdom of America and Galica get involved in this matter?"
"Don't you think it's too boring to have only one overlord on the sea?" asked Sue with a smile.
Leo quickly understood the hint in Sue's words, and confirmed: "The Kingdom of America and Galika is also interested in getting involved in the battle for supremacy at sea?"
Su habitually raised his eyebrows and said, "Why not? You must know that nearly half of the coastline of the Moisan Continent is under the control of the kingdom, but such a long coastline is controlled by the naval fleets of other kingdoms, I think any country will not be able to stand this situation." ”
Leo could hear the strong tendencies in Sue's tone, and asked, "You have joined the kingdom of American Galica?"
Su generously admitted: "I think the United States is very good." ”
Leo could feel that the United States, a country that had been established less than 200 years ago, was beginning to decide to challenge some of the old powers in the world of Velon.
But when he thought about it, he felt that this one seemed to be logical, and there was nothing surprising about it.
After all, the United States is now the largest kingdom in the Moisan Continent, not only with a large territory, but also with a large army, and there is no rival in the Moisan Continent, and it is a well-deserved land overlord of the Moisan Continent.
But even so, the status of the Kingdom of Megaliga in the Velonon world is not high, and it is not even as good as some small allies, because no matter how the Moissanite Continent develops, it is a wild land in the eyes of the other countries of the Velonon Continent, and the people there are all savages.
"Looks like we're rivals!" Leo said in a deep voice.
Not necessarily. Su shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, the employment tasks of the two of us are not in conflict. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Leo rhetorically.
"My task is to let the Inga royal family not get the Poseidon artifact, and your task is only to get the Poseidon artifact back," Su explained: "If I break the Poseidon artifact, then my task is completed, and if you bring the broken Poseidon artifact back, then your task is also completed." ”
Leo thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "There is indeed no conflict. He seemed to agree with Su's proposal, but he changed his words again and said: "It's just that the reason why an artifact is an artifact is that it can't be destroyed with constant force, how can you break it with your strength?"
Leo's words were not without purpose, because he had personally touched the Seagod Scepter, and although he couldn't understand who the internal structure of the artifact was with his knowledge and strength at the time, he knew very well how strong the scepter was, and unless it was damaged by the loss of power, the external force required could only cause damage to the artifact if it was equivalent to the power of the gods who only made this artifact.
"Don't worry about this, I have a way. Sue replied with great confidence, but did not continue.
Leo didn't give an answer immediately, sat on the sofa and pondered for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What good do I have if I cooperate?"
Su raised his eyebrows again, and said with a cold face: "Benefits, aren't we mutually beneficial?"
"No, it's good for you, but it's not good for me. Leo said in a deep voice: "Even if I don't cooperate with you, I can still find the real grave of Count Drake, even if I don't find it, I have the ability to take things down, you should know very well that I can definitely do this with my strength, so if I cooperate with you, I don't have any benefits, but your benefits are greater, and I am the one who suffers from this cooperation, and I naturally need to compensate." ”
Su didn't speak, just looked at Leo coldly, if it was a few months ago, just when Leo met, Su might have turned around and left directly, and wouldn't have paid attention to Leo's request at all, because even though Leo was very strong at that time, Su could still feel the limit of Leo's strength, and was confident that she could easily deal with it with her ability.
But now only a few months have passed, and Leo, who has not changed in appearance, has become a bottomless deep pool in his eyes, especially when she approached Leo just now, she already felt a strong sense of danger, as if she was being targeted by some kind of fierce beast, and it was precisely for this reason that she gave up her original preparation and cooperated with Leo instead.
So although Leo's words were a little direct, she had to admit in her heart that Leo's words were not wrong, and if the two cooperated, she would indeed take advantage of a lot.
After calmly pondering for a while, Su nodded and said, "What benefits do you want?"
"I don't want anything for the time being, I don't know if you can take it out, since that's the ......case," Leo was not surprised that Su agreed to his request, in his opinion, this result was inevitable, so he touched the stubble on his chin, thought about it a little, and said: "Just a promise! I may go to the Moisan Continent in the future, and there may be some things that need your help at that time, I hope you will not find an excuse to refuse." ”
"Are you going to Mosan?" Su frowned, was silent for a moment, and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Leo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, maybe it's a tour, maybe it's a friend, or it's an archaeology." ”
Su was silent again, nodded, and said, "Yes." With that, she took out a metal card and placed it on the table in front of Leo, and said, "When you arrive in Mozambique, all you need to do is show it at any official store in the United States, and they will notify me." ”
Leo took the metal card and looked at it, but did not see any patterns or words on the metal card, the only thing worth noting is that the metal card seems to be made of some kind of alloy, and its material reminds Leo of the outer protective plate on the space fighter.
"You made this?" asked Leo.
Su Yang raised his head and said proudly: "Your eyesight is not bad, this is the latest material researched by the Kingdom Academy, not only is it more than a hundred times stronger than the current metal, but even the degree of wear resistance far exceeds the current metal, it can be said that it is a metal that will never be damaged." ”
"It's a pity that it can't be mass-produced. Without waiting for the pride in Su's heart to reach its peak, Leo broke through the flaws of this item, instantly bringing her back to reality.
"How do you know?" asked Sue as he looked at Leo in surprise and with a gloomy face.
As Leo said, although the Academy of the Kingdom of America made this metal, the manufacturing process was just an accident, and the materials required for manufacturing were extremely precious and rare, not to mention mass production became the standard equipment of the soldiers of the kingdom, even if it was just to equip a small team, I am afraid that the finances of the Kingdom of America would be bankrupt more than a dozen times.
Therefore, in the end, the batch of metals created by accident was just made into some cards representing identity and handed over to some people with special status, such as Su, who single-handedly cleaned up the dark world of the Megaliga Kingdom.
It's just that these metals have always been the top secret of the Kingdom of America and California from production to use, and there are very few people who know about the existence of this metal, and there are only a handful of people who know that this metal exists and also know that this metal cannot be mass-produced.
But now Leo just glanced at this metal, and immediately judged that this metal could not be mass-produced, Su's first thought was not that Leo was knowledgeable and knowledgeable about metallurgical technology, because she had already turned over Leo's information and knew what kind of person Leo was, so the only explanation she could think of was that there was a traitor among them, and all the information about the advantages and disadvantages of this metal was passed on to the Kingdom of Inge.
At the same time, she couldn't help but guess Leo's true identity, because if this metal intelligence was transmitted to the Kingdom of England in a top secret, then the identity of the person who could read this information would definitely be unusual, and he would definitely be a powerful person in the upper echelons of the Kingdom of England.
Thinking of this, Su couldn't help but regret his rash move to cooperate with Leo.
It's just that Su didn't know that the various guesses she made in her heart were 108,000 miles away from the real answer, Leo didn't get any information at all, only based on the fact that the material of this piece of metal was similar to the armor material on the space fighter, she would make this inference, after all, there are not many civilizations in the universe that have the ability to make this kind of fighter armor alone, and the universe civilization is still like this, not to mention the current civilization level of the Velen world.
"Now that we're partners, Ms. Su, what are you going to do next?" Leo didn't pay attention to Sue's mood change, put the metal card in his pocket, and then asked Sue, who was still gloomy.
Su took a deep breath, calmed down the fluctuating emotions in her heart, put aside the many conjectures just now, and focused on the things that needed to be paid attention to now, and then heard her say: "You already have an idea, why ask me, since you have chosen this hotel to live in, how can you not know who is behind this hotel?"
Hearing Sue's words, Leo sensed that Sue might have misunderstood something, but he didn't show it, but showed a smile that made people don't understand the meaning, but felt that it had any meaning, and didn't speak.
Su glanced at Leo coldly, and then continued: "Normally, the leader of the wolf gang never spends the night in the same place for two days, where he chooses to live, even his cronies don't know, but every month on the full moon day, he will choose to stay in the jungle hotel, stay with the proprietress of this hotel, tomorrow is the full moon night, so the leader of the wolf gang will definitely appear, and when the time comes, we will be able to know where Death Valley is." ”
Although what Su said was a bit clueless, Leo still heard some useful content from this passage, such as the leader of the wolf gang has the key information to go to Death Valley, and the leader of the wolf gang is very special, otherwise he would not choose to stay in the dense forest on the night of the full moon, as for what is special, Su did not say, she can only hear from her tone that she is still very worried about this leader of the wolf gang.
"Werewolf!" Leo thought for a moment, and immediately came to mind some useful information, and muttered to himself.
"It seems that you have also received the news," Hearing Leo's voice, Su mistakenly thought that Leo had already understood the situation, so he nodded and said: "Dweik of the Sigma Kingdom died in his hands the day before yesterday, and according to Dweik's strength, this werewolf is probably an atavistic werewolf who has already inspired the power of the origin." ”
While Sue was speaking, relevant information also appeared in Leo's mind.
For those family researchers, there is no public opinion on whether werewolves are considered family members or not.
According to the legend of the werewolves themselves, they are the children of the Mother of the Forest, and they also call themselves the Children of the Forest, and they are the purest blood.
However, a person from the Persona Society who specializes in the study of family families published an article in the Society's internal journal that refuted the werewolf's own explanation, because he found that the power of the werewolf comes from itself, not from the gods, and the power of the werewolf is controllable, and will not be controlled by others, and even has a very stable inheritance, so he believes that the werewolf is not a family, but an intelligent species that lives independently like humans.
