The Duke of Buckingham of the Kingdom of England is a legendary aristocratic family a hundred years ago and now, and is also the top aristocratic family in the world of Velon, and has also been called the mother of Velon.

The reason why it is called this is because almost all the royal families and large families of Veron have the blood of the Duke of Buckingham's family in their bloodlines, and the women of the Duke of Buckingham are also regarded as a symbol of the perfect woman by various countries.

In the Kingdom of England, although the Duke of Buckingham is nominally a vassal of King Ingham, in fact the Duke of Buckingham is not under the rule of King Inge, and even the territory of the Duke of Buckingham is not under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom Council.

For example, the position of steward of the Duke of Buckingham's mansion is equivalent to the court minister of a country, which is not unimportant, and may even come into contact with the secrets of the Duke of Buckingham, this position will definitely be handed over to the old man of the family, and even for a lifetime, even if he retires, he cannot leave the Duke of Buckingham.

So when Leo heard Jason mention that Sanjes was the Duke of Buckingham's butler, his only thought was that it was impossible. It's just that he thought that Nelson would definitely think of this, and still chose to hire Sanjes, so he must have investigated Sanjes' identity, and Sanjes's identity must be fine, so a new question arises, why did Sanjes leave the Duke of Buckingham, and why was his freedom not restricted by the Duke of Buckingham?

Although Leo is not afraid of trouble, he does not want to get involved in some unnecessary troubles for no reason, especially when these troubles involve a powerful person like the Duke of Buckingham.

"I don't know. Hearing Leo's inquiry, Jason shook his head and said: "Nelson asked him, he didn't say anything, but his identity is certain, he is indeed the butler of the Duke of Buckingham, and he also resigned according to the normal procedures, but because of the background of the Duke of Buckingham, no one wants to hire him, and when Nelson and I found him, his family was already very poor." ”

Hearing Jason say this, Leo can be sure that it is not easy for Sanjes to leave the Duke of Buckingham's house, but for some reason, the Duke of Buckingham is unwilling to take any action against him, and just uses his influence to force other nobles not to hire him.

A man who has been a housekeeper all his life may not have other means of earning a living, so he will be in trouble, and if Jason and Nelson do not show up, Sanjes is afraid that he will fall into poverty and die in some corner of the city.

"If you don't want to hire him, let him be my butler, I'm short of people. Jason is different from before, and he also knows some ways to read words and colors, and can see what Leo is thinking, so he said very simply.

"No need. Leo shook his head and said, "Since he has been doing it for so long and there are no problems, then there is no need to change people, and if you change people, you may not be able to find a suitable one, but it will be more troublesome." ”

At this time, Sanjes walked in from outside with two cups of black tea and some refreshments, put the refreshments on the table, and then stood aside, and said: "Sir, since you have returned, then the room in the house must be activated, and I cannot take care of it alone, so I still need to hire a cook, three maids, two servants, and Mr. needs to be equipped with a carriage and groom to travel......"

Sanjes carefully reported on some of his work, and did not show any unusual looks because of Leo's civilian background.

"Just do what you suggest. Since he had chosen to hire Sanjas, Leo would trust Sanjas's ability and would not meddle in these things, so after Sanjes finished speaking, he nodded and said.

"There's something else I have to tell my husband. After receiving Leo's approval, Sanjes did not turn to leave, but continued: "Although I left the Duke of Buckingham's palace through normal means, and my departure was also agreed by the Duke of Buckingham himself, the process of my departure from the Duke of Buckingham was not very good, and if you continue to hire me, you may get into some unnecessary trouble." ”

Hearing Sanjes's words, Jason's expression became a little strange, after all, he just said that Sanjes had no problem, but now Sanjes took the initiative to indicate that there would be some trouble, this kind of slap in the face made Jason suddenly feel cheated, and an angry look appeared on his face.

When Jason was about to ask Sanjes, Leo reached out to stop him, then looked at Sanjes with interest and asked, "If I continue to hire you, what trouble will I have?"

Sanjes explained: "The Duke of Buckingham may not care about me, an old man who has left the Duke's court, but those who like to see the Duke of Buckingham look in his eyes will think a lot, and may do some bad things to the people who hire me in order to curry favor with the Duke of Buckingham, such as forcing the tenants of office buildings and shops to quit their rents, cutting off your source of income, sir, and so on." ”

Leo couldn't help but smile disdainfully, if it was really just these small means, Leo really wasn't worried at all, after all, the money on his body was enough for him to live a luxurious life for more than a hundred years, and it didn't matter if those so-called industrial income were or not.

Leo restrained his smile and asked, "Why?

"Because it wasn't Mr. Matthews and Mr. Jason who hired me, it was you, Mr. Leo Dodd. Sanjes said calmly: "And Mr. Matthews and Ms. Catherine are both people with special backgrounds, those people will not want to offend them, and Mr. Jason is not the main employer, so he will not be harassed by those people." ”

Leo was silent for a moment, and during this time, Sanjes's face showed a slight hint of nervousness.

Although Sanjes doesn't seem to care if Leo hires him or not, in reality it is the opposite, he has had enough of the hardships, and his family has lived badly, so he is out of his current stable life and back to life in the slums, he is not willing to do anything, but his work ethic makes him have to explain his situation to his employer, even if he loses his stable job.

Leo suddenly asked, "Can you tell me why you left the Duke of Buckingham's palace?"

Sanjes was stunned, he hesitated slightly, but finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't say anything about my former employer, and the same goes for you. ”

Leo nodded and said, "Well, I hope that if I fire you one day, you won't tell me about me with your new employer." ”

Sanjes was stunned for a moment, his face showed a little, and he asked happily, "You mean you will continue to hire me?"

"Yes, I will continue to hire you until I think you are a nuisance. Leo didn't say anything to death, and set a precondition.

"Thank you, sir. With that, Sanjes saluted Leo, then returned to normal, turned and left the room.

"You're still going to hire a?" Jason asked with concern.

"Nothing. Leo replied casually, then deliberately digressed and asked, "Where's Dr. Nelson? Isn't he in town?"

Jason shook his head and said, "No, the couple went to the Kingdom Council with Lady Anne two days ago. ”

"For the sake of the Kingdom Medical College?" asked Leo.

"You've heard about it too?" Jason was stunned, and then introduced in detail: "The Congress is not going to re-establish a Kingdom medical school, but is preparing to expand the medical research association in the Royal Academy, add some members, and serve as the only member of some medical schools." ”

Jason's explanation did not surprise Leo, and he asked, "Now that the decision has been made, what is the use of Nelson and them going to Congress again?"

Jason explained: "I don't know the specifics, but I know that Ms. Anne received a letter, and then approached Nelson and said that things might have taken a turn for the better, and they rushed to the capital overnight." ”

Leo didn't ask any more, but changed the subject and talked to Jason about some other things, and then Jason got up and left, and asked Leo to rest while he was leaving, and took him to the city in the evening to have some fun.

After Jason left, Leo became familiar with the apartment building, which would be his home for a long time to come, which gave him an inexplicable feeling.

After all, when they were in the Earth Federation, cyborgs could not buy any property, they had fixed resting places, which were more like maintenance workshops, and did not feel at home at all, so home was just a word and a nihilistic concept for Leo.

Now that he was in this apartment building, thinking that this would be his home from now on, Leo's heart couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of relief, and even his body relaxed, which was something he had never felt before.

Although this state will have some effect on various reactions, Leo does not dislike this relaxed state, but quickly adapts to it.

After that, Leo found Sanjes, and under Sanjes's leadership, he browsed every room, and through the ability of the spirit network, he found several secret compartments and safes that even Sanjes didn't know, and found some cash, valuables, and expired documents in those safes.

After Leo put these things away, he began to think about the transformation of each room, whether it was making wizard potions, making mechanical mechanisms, or practicing witchcraft, they all needed a separate room, and they also needed to be transformed according to different functions.

While browsing the room, Leo had quickly sorted out a few suitable plans in his mind, and selected one of them, quickly drew a sketch and renderings on the paper that Sanjeth found, and then handed it to Sanjes along with a part of the cost, and asked him to find someone to renovate.

After that, Leo freshened up and changed into a suit selected by Sanjes, his previous outfit was too exotic to wear in the English Kingdom, and the current one he chose was the most popular half-cut trench coat suit in the English Kingdom, with a certain top hat and walking stick.

Because it was a ready-to-wear garment, it was a little tight on Leo, and Sanjes said that he would find a suitable tailor and leather bootmaker to make a few sets of clothes for Leo in the afternoon.

After changing his clothes, Leo returned to his study on the first floor.

Located on the inside of the apartment building, this two-storey study has a wall of large floor-to-ceiling windows that open to a small garden that can be opened at your leisure to take a walk or afternoon tea.

The study is very well built, with shelves as high as the ceiling clinging to the walls, shelves full of books, and a movable wooden ladder set up next to the shelves to facilitate access to books.

The books on the shelves are ordinary publications, and judging from the traces of the books, it is clear that the previous owner of the house bought them mainly to flush the façade and make himself look knowledgeable, and if it were not for the frequent cleaning, these books would have been covered with dust by now.

Although books are the most common publications, anyone can buy them with money, but these publications are not useless to Leo, in fact, these publications are very complete, from the history of various countries, to the geography of the three continents, from some livelihood things to the latest science and technology weekly, all kinds of books can be found here, just like a small library.

Although Leo has learned a lot of mysterious knowledge from the old man Rembrandt that cannot be learned elsewhere, his understanding of the world of Veron is still insufficient, and most of them can only rely on the memories of Leo before, so the books in this study can just fill the gap in his knowledge, so that he can have a more detailed and complete understanding of this world, even if this understanding is only the epidermis.

"The General History of Veron, Let's Start with This!" Leo's eyes swept across the shelves, and finally stopped at a tome about the thickness of the complete medical works, pulled it out, walked to the desk, spread it out on the table, and looked at it carefully.

In the days that followed, Jason didn't seem to be thinking about running for the position of the Grand Cargo Terminal, and from morning till night he led Leo around the various towns of Port Sète, from the docks to the garden area, and even the factory area through some connections, to some private factories.

The tour in the past few days is not without gains, at least Leo found a few places worth investing, invested in some factories with potential but insufficient funds, and became one of the shareholders of the factory, through these investments he also gradually entered the eyes of some powerful people in Port Set, after all, not everyone can casually take out tens of thousands of funds from their pockets to invest, they all think that Leo is an invisible rich businessman.

It's just that soon when the information about Leo was delivered to their office desk, they were all surprised, because in their data records, Leo was just an ordinary soldier, and Jason and Nelson were comrades-in-arms, and the current property under his name was the property of the royal family before, but it was transferred to his name a few years ago, which made the established magnates can't help but speculate about what Leo has to do with the Inge royal family.
