Hearing Leo's dissatisfaction with the situation after the death of the heir of the Novitsky family, Vitzmir immediately stepped forward and said with a mysterious expression: "You can blame the Novitzki family for this, they didn't do the corpse thing, in fact, they or the current heir in line also want to find out the guy who stole the corpse." ”

"What's going on?" Leo asked, looking at Witzmir with a puzzled expression, "Is there something else hidden in there?"

Vitzmere likes to see his words led to a gaffe, let alone a big figure like a full-fledged wizard. However, he also knew that some things needed to be mastered to a certain degree, and beyond that degree it would not be good, so he didn't let Leo wait long, and said that he knew something.

"There are no big hidden secrets, but some things seem to be unexpected by some people. Vicmir poured himself a glass of fruit wine, then took a sip to moisten his throat, and said: "Originally, everything went well, according to the rule that nothing happens without evidence, that person only needs to wait for a while, and after the investigation does not have any results, he will be able to sit in the position of the first heir." But the body disappeared, and then it was emptied of its internal organs and thrown provocatively in the alleys of District 23. Just as you reacted when you heard that the heir's body had been eviscerated, the other nobles were indignant when they heard about it, thinking that it was a violation of aristocratic etiquette and pointed the finger at the new heir who was about to come to power, so if the murderer of the corpse could not be found, it would be difficult for the new heir to secure his position. ”

Leo deliberately made a look of interest, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that other heirs in line did it?"

"Probably not. Vitzmere shook his head and said with a serious face: "This matter is a provocation to the nobles of the entire Ten Towns, and no one with a little brain will do this. ”

Leo was silent for a moment, then asked, "How many bounties did the Novitzki family offer?"

"What? are you interested in this?" said Witzmereir with a smile.

Leo said flatly: "There is still a little time before entering the wasteland, I want to pass the boring time." ”

"Although the Novitsky family is only the second family, and they are also the second family of the town on the seventh lake, their family inheritance is very ancient, the first is the noble family of the first lake town, and then they will gradually retreat to the town of the seventh lake after a few mistakes, so their family has a lot of collections. Like a lobbyist, Wizmir praised the Nowitzki family, and then got to the point, saying: "The reward offered by the Nowitzmire family this time is not simple, and the reward given to ordinary people will naturally become a member of the Novitsky family, but the reward offered by people like you, Mr. Dodd, is an ancient book collected by the Nowitzki family, which is said to have been brought by our ancestors from the other side of the world where all human beings originated, and which hides the secrets of the other world. ”

When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious, and asked in a deep voice, "How could such an important ancient book be taken out as a reward?

"Of course they can't be crazy, it's a copy that comes up as a reward, not the original. Witzmeir explained: "It's just a photocopy, but it's exactly the same as the original, and they even allow the bounty recipient to read the original for five days." ”

After Vitzmere's words fell, Leo suddenly smiled and said, "Are you acting as a lobbyist for the Novitsky family?"

"Business partners, if you can, you can help. Witzmere didn't deny it, and simply responded, but Leo didn't believe him at all.

Leo thought for a moment and said, "I'm mainly interested in this matter to pass the time, and I haven't really thought about what to do. Although the Novitsky family's bounty is very attractive, the value of the ancient book is still debatable, and it is ...... before seeing the real thing."

Witzmere seemed to want to pull Leo into the matter, and when Leo refused, he immediately said, "I have a copy of the cover of that ancient book on hand, can you see if it is in line with your heart, and if it is valuable?"

Without waiting for Leo to respond, he got up and ran to the back room, and quickly took out a very quaint-looking book from it.

Waitsmere placed the book on the table and said, "This is made by the Nowitzki family according to the cover of the original book, and the contents are all blank, only the cover is the same. This sample was originally brought to the master by the Nowitzki family to see if the owner was interested in the book. ”

Leo put on his glasses and looked at it, but did not reach for the ancient book, which had an alumsy cover and was engraved with all kinds of strange patterns and words.

Although he was calm on the outside, he felt a little crying and laughing on the inside. He had read this book, which the Novitsky family regarded as a fetish, and not only the original cipherland, but also the latest translation.

The book is called the Long River of Life, which is a book about the civilization and species reproduction of each of the three continents of the world of Veron, and the person who wrote this book is called Koruko, a slave who was captured from Mozán and sold to the Minsk continent.

He was bought into a now-disappeared country on the Minsk mainland, where he didn't even have a name, and was taken by a noble family and bought home to work as a florist, taking care of the flowers and plants of the noble estate.

It's just that Keruko is not willing to be a flower slave for a lifetime, so while taking care of flowers and plants, he also learns various knowledge from nobles through various methods.

Later, when there was a war in that country, Koruko took advantage of the flight to deliberately get separated from the nobles' convoy, became a fugitive slave, and in order to avoid pursuit, he wandered around the continent, recording what he saw and heard.

More than twenty years later, Cruko was caught by a bounty hunter who hunted down fugitive slaves and burned him locally according to the law of the time, while the knowledge he recorded was taken by one of the bounty hunters and kept at home.

Until, one of the bounty hunter's descendants became scholars and read the records, and was shocked by what they said, and decided that it would be the greatest blasphemy to keep the knowledge in the box, and decided to recompile and publish the records.

Because the Orthodox Church was in full swing at that time, it was almost impossible to publish such a book that denied the existence of gods. So, the descendants of the bounty hunter and several like-minded companions invented a new language, and then rewrote the book of the River of Life in this new language, and then published the book at their own expense, which no one could understand.

After the book was published, they sent it to other scholars who were also unfavorable to the Orthodox Church, along with the language translation they had written, so that they could read the book normally, and eventually the book, which could be classified as a forbidden book, could survive during the darkest period of civilization.

Out of respect for the fugitive slave, the descendants of the bounty hunter did not put their name on the list of authors or compilers when they published the book, but wrote the name of the fugitive slave on the cover, and the deeds of the fugitive slave were written on the inside page.

Because of its legendary and bumpy experience, this book has been praised by many neoliberal poets who opposed the Orthodox Church, and the content of the book has been borrowed by a large number of pastoral poets, thus making it famous.

At a time when opera and stage plays were beginning to take off, the book's experience was brought to the stage by countless writers, and the book's fame was pushed to a climax when Cruco was certified as one of the Three Ancient Sages by the Velen Medical College. At that time, almost all aristocratic families, whether they liked the book or not, had to keep a copy in their study, otherwise their collection would be considered incomplete.

Leo had read this book in Anne's hospital, and the latest set of medical encyclopedias contained the writings of the so-called ancient sages, and the Long River of Life was one of them, not only in translation, but also in cipherical texts.

And now the sample of the cover of the so-called ancient book containing the mystery of the origin of mankind that Witzmir has taken out is a secret version of the cover of the Long River of Life, and it seems that it should be one of the earliest editions, because there are a large number of Orthodox religious symbols on it, in order to disguise the book as a religious book.

Originally, Leo was looking forward to seeing a book that truly expounded the mysteries of the world, but he didn't expect it to be such a book, and he was naturally a little disappointed.

It's just that, disappointed to disappointed, his face could not show it, but pretended to be very interested, picked up the sample with only the cover, and pretended to study the symbols of those ancient religions on it.

After a long while, Leo shook his head, took off his glasses, and said in a deep voice: "I don't specialize in languages, I can't figure out what is on it, rather than wasting time on such things, it is better to have a little more practical." ”

Seeing that he could not convince Leo, Witzmir felt a little disappointed, but Leo's last words made him see a turning point, so he asked in a deep voice, "What kind of reward do you want?"

Leo didn't just say anything, but said vaguely, "It's not what I want, but what can they give me, preferably something that I can use in waste." ”

Witzmere frowned, looked at Leo for a moment, and finally landed on Leo's backpack, suddenly as if he thought of something, and said, "I know there's something in Nowitzki's house that suits you well." ”

"What is it?" Leo naturally knew exactly where Witzmere's eyes fell, and asked curiously.

"When the Nowitzmire family was at their peak, they caught a strange fish in the lake area under their family's jurisdiction, and it was a very strange fish, not very large, but capable of swallowing anything without limitation. At that time, the patriarch of the Novitsky family dedicated this strange fish to the first chief, and after the first chief disposed of the strange fish, he made five palm-sized wallets from the fish skin and returned them to the Novitsky family. It's said that this wallet can swallow anything and hold a lot of things, and while that's an exaggeration, I think it's okay to fit this backpack behind you. ”

Leo was immediately moved when he heard this, this thing is perfect for him, after all, carrying a backpack on his body every day feels strange when others see it, and he himself feels uncomfortable. So he directly showed interest and asked, "Such a wizard curiosity should be very precious, will the Novitsky family agree to take it out as a reward?"

"No problem. Wittsmir looked very confident and said: "The Nowitzki family has not actually used this thing at all for so many years, except for one leather bag left as a souvenir, the other leather bags have been given to others as gifts." It's not hard to get them to take this thing out as a bounty. ”

Leo nodded, stood up, and said as he walked out, "The matter is settled, when did you convince the Novitsky family to agree to use that leather bag as a bounty, just come and tell me, I think you should know where I live now, right?"

"I'll tell you if there's news. Witzmere also stood up, sent Leo to the door, and then reminded: "There will be news from my master's side in the next few days, I hope that Mr. Dodd you can be ready in the next few days, and once the entrance to the abandoned capital is confirmed, you will act immediately, don't delay the business because of the affairs of the Novitsky family." ”

"Don't worry, I've got the priorities. Leo walked towards the elevator, waving his hand without looking back, until there was a news of the door closing behind him, he stopped, followed directly through the window on the side, his fingers grasped some small bumps on the edge of the outer wall, and the whole person pressed against the wall, climbed up rapidly, and soon came to the roof of the flower shop.

The roof of the flower shop was supposed to be built as a place for large events such as balls, so it was elegantly decorated, with no superfluous items, just empty houses.

Leo looked around, perhaps because there was no business for a large event, there were no staff members, no security guards or guards, and it was empty, as opposed to the hustle and bustle below.

After confirming that there was no one, Leo walked around the roof along the main line of the straight axis of the flower shop building, and while walking, the spiritual net also opened outward, scanning the situation of the flower shop under his feet, sorting out and analyzing the obtained data in the auxiliary brain system, and reconstructing a three-dimensional map of the flower shop building.

When this building was built, it was clear that the architects had prevented people like Leo from arranging a lot of wizarding objects in the room of the flower shop, creating a disturbing force field and interfering with the exploration of the spiritual network.

However, Leo didn't want to explore the structure of the flower shop, he just wanted to find out the person, thing, or thing that could cause the dream body's resonant reaction, and it was clear that this resonance reaction would not disappear due to the presence of the interfering force field, at least now he had sensed a suspicious place.
