A good show before the official start of the wake made the magnates of the town on the lake in the wake hall more and more eager to see something happen at the wake meeting, so that their cookie-cutter boring life would be more fun.

Unfortunately, things didn't go the way they wanted, and in the various ceremonies of the wake that followed, Leo and the Alcot family did not have any more conflicts, and everything was as dull and boring as every wake's meeting in the past.

Even when Peter Alcott's estate was announced later, the Alcott family did not express any meaning to Leo's inheritance, let alone directly redeem that inheritance like Anna Alcott did before.

Although the performance of the Alcott family seems to many people to be a sign of decay, after all, there has never been a case in the past where the inheritance of a direct member of the Alcott family has been inherited by outsiders, but still no one dares to question the rule of the Alcott family over Lake Town.

However, to the bewilderment of everyone present, Andrei XIII did not attend his son's wake from beginning to end.

Although Anna Alcott left the scene halfway, she at least came here as a mother, and Andre XIII, as a father, did not show up from beginning to end, which really does not match the rumored degree of his love for his youngest son.

Many people even have some associations, reminiscent of the recent rumors about the health of Andrei XIII. It is precisely because of this association that after the wake ended, many people began to take the initiative to contact Robert Alcott, who is the next heir of the Seventh Olcott family, trying to leave a good impression in front of the prospective head of the Seventh Olcott family.

Just as the magnates of Seventh Lake were engaged in a new power game, Wittmere confessed to Leo and got up to leave the Wake Hall, and after a few words with the butler waiting outside the hall, he was led by the butler in the direction of the main building of the manor.

Leo, who was left alone in the wake hall, looked at the large box that was sent to him, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, he sat quietly for a while, then stood up, and walked out of the wake hall directly carrying the half-human-tall box, and walked towards the outside of the Alcott family manor.

From Peter Alcott's inheritance, Leo received two things, one was the psionic puppet he now carried on his shoulder, and the other was the house he now lived in.

Although Peter Alcott handed over the house to him, it was somewhat unexpected, but it is not too surprising when you think about it, it is obvious that Peter Alcott had already planned to transfer the house to him the moment he gave him the key to the house, and now this will is just a supplement to the formal formalities.

What really made Leo think about it just now was actually the psionic puppet stored in the chest.

According to Leo's previous guess, Peter Alcott should not be dead, he just faked his death for some purpose, so the psionic puppet made by Peter Alcote with puppet psionic energy no matter how it is covered, there must still be a trace of psionic energy in the puppet.

But when the box containing the puppet was placed in front of him, Leo found that the puppet inside the box was just a puppet, and there was no psychic fluctuation at all.

And through the inspection of the spirit network, he also found that although this puppet looked very exquisite on the outside, it was exactly the same as the psionic puppet he had seen before, but after careful inspection, he found that this puppet did not have any necessary mechanical parts.

According to common sense, whether it is a psionic puppet or an ordinary puppet, the puppet must have some necessary mechanical parts if it wants to move, such as joint shafts, spinal movable gears, and so on. But now this puppet does not have these basic mechanical parts in its body, so its body cannot move, and the overall appearance is more like a wood carving.

At first, Leo thought that the puppet had been dropped, and judging by Anna Alcott's attitude, it seemed that she was bound to get the puppet, so it was not impossible for her to drop the puppet.

But soon this speculation was denied by Leo himself, because things like dropping other people's inheritances are absolutely taboo in aristocratic circles.

Today, if you Anna Alcot can drop an inheritance that belongs to someone else, then it is likely that you will directly drop the will of the head of the Alcott family in the future. With Anna Alcott setting this precedent, it is possible for people from other noble families in Lake Town to learn to do it, so that the inheritance rules of the entire noble circle in Lake Town will be useless, and the destruction of the overall order of Lake Town will be absolutely devastating.

It is true that Anna Alcott is indeed the power holder of the Seventh Olcott family, and she is also the most powerful in the entire Seventh Lake Town, but compared to the power of the entire noble circle in the Seventh Lake Town, she is obviously a little worse, not to mention the power held by all the nobles of the Lake District Alliance.

If she really did something that destroyed the foundation of the aristocratic inheritance by replacing the inheritance, then even if she had Alcott, an extremely noble surname in the Lake District Alliance, she would not escape death.

With Anna Alcott's personality and intelligence, it is impossible for her to fail to see the danger involved, so no matter how much she loves her son, and how big the secrets contained in the psionic puppets are, she will not be able to do such a self-defeating thing.

After dismissing Anna Alcott's speculation, Leo takes a closer look at the situation of the psionic puppet and quickly discovers some suspicious points.

He found that the psionic puppets were curled up inside the chest, and the surface was very old, with a lot of signs of use.

If someone really wants to get rid of this psionic puppet, then that person must have made an identical psionic puppet many years ago, and they will have to make the old psionic puppet for different time periods. Even psionic puppets in different poses had to be made, as no one could have guessed in advance what kind of container the puppet would be stuffed into.

After analyzing the difficulty of dropping the bag through the parabrain system, Leo will almost certainly not be able to obtain the psionic puppet left by Peter Alcot by dropping the bag, and can also be sure that the box contains what Peter Alcott left him in his will.

After rejecting the speculation of dropping the bag, Leo couldn't help but come up with a new guess, that is, this puppet was not the psionic puppet he saw next to Peter Alcott at that time, and the puppet in the box was actually just a bait used by Peter Alcott to divert his attention, and the real psionic puppet had been properly kept by him elsewhere.

But this speculation only flashed in Leo's mind, and he denied it again.

Because if Peter Alcott really did that, then the deal he made with Leo would be null and void.

Among the promises made by Leo is that he only needs to take Peter Alcott's puppet into the wasteland. Now the puppet he inherited is also Peter Alcott's puppet, and it has been officially determined by the will, so even if Peter Alcott himself comes to him with the puppet, he can use this puppet as the object of his promise and refuse other requests from the other party.

With Peter Alcott's intelligence, it is impossible not to think of this, so this seemingly incomplete puppet should be the psionic puppet.

In addition, Anna Alcott's longing attitude towards this puppet is also evidence of the peculiarity of this puppet.

The doubts raised by this puppet were not understood until Leo left the aristocratic city, but some of the flies that the puppet had provoked had already gathered and hid in the shadows to spy on his whereabouts.

After walking less than two blocks, Leo's spirit network sensed no less than seven groups of people, hiding in the shadows of the alleys around the streets and behind obstacles on the rooftops, watching Leo's every move.

Without exception, these people were all elite warriors with obvious ancestral bodies, and the bloody aura emanating from each of them showed that the various types of lives that died in their hands were not a small number.

It's just that none of these people have psychic fluctuations, and their willpower can't keep up with the mutations in their bodies, making them easily emotional, and some of them even show signs of dehumanization in their behavior.

Just now, Leo easily used a little trick to provoke the two teams of watchers hiding in the shadows to fight, and the other teams of people in charge of monitoring Leo were also easily attracted by the riot over there, completely forgetting their original mission. It wasn't until Leo was away from their surveillance for a while that he realized that he chased after him, regardless of his whereabouts.

Although with Leo's strength, it would not be difficult to deal with these unpowered Ancestral Monitors, but instead of doing so, he treated them as his bodyguards, and as long as these people did not stand up and make trouble on their own, he let them follow them secretly until he returned to his residence.

Leo did not immediately enter the house when he returned to his lodgings, as a large number of ordinary people had gathered in the alleys around the house. The men cautiously hid behind some obstacles as if they were watching the excitement, and while talking to each other, they looked up at the broken windows on the outer wall of the study on the second floor.

At this time, the windows near the small building were completely broken, and the window frames had turned into some fragments, scattered on the street, and the surrounding walls were also badly damaged, and the mechanical parts in the walls were also exposed, even if you stood downstairs, you could cut it clearly.

In addition, a large number of fragments of books and some broken furniture were also scattered on the street, which shows how much movement had occurred in the house before.

Seeing this scene, the first thought in Leo's mind was those monsters called Wild Hunt and Gvi El, and subconsciously thought that those Wild Hunts had chased them from another world, and fought with Gvi Elle in the house.

At the same time as the speculation was generated, Leo's spiritual network also expanded, enveloping the room in it, infiltrating the interior to see what was going on inside.

But when the paracerebral system restored the data fed back by the mental network on the retina through the image, Leo was stunned, and the expression on his face became a little strange, and he followed the watchful eyes of the surrounding people, carried the box, opened the door with the key, and walked into the house.

After entering the house, Leo carried the box directly to the study on the second floor, opened the door and walked in, and after putting down the box, he said to the people in the house, "Can you tell me what happened?"

At this moment, the mechanism of this house has been triggered, and the chains and cages that protrude from the walls capture and imprison all the living creatures in the house.

Givy Elle and a stranger in wizard's robes were each bound by an arm-thick chain, the power of the chain itself was enough to bind the person, but even more powerful was the magic array rune on the chain.

Through the exploration of the spiritual network and the analysis of the auxiliary brain system, Leo knew that these magic array runes similar to Turing roots could produce some kind of concussive force to disperse the approaching spiritual energy, and through the transformation of spiritual energy into runes, these spiritual energy were transformed into a paralyzing spiritual energy, which was also the main reason why Jivi Elle and they could not get out of the predicament.

In addition to Jivi Elle, there is also a small cage by the window on the side of the lake, and the Duke of White Boots is confined in the cage, although he is not injured on the surface, but his spirit is very weak, obviously there should be a kind of magic circle dedicated to the moonlight rat hidden in the cage.

"Leo, help me untie it," Jivielle saw Leo coming back, and immediately said impatiently, "When I fought with this thief just now, it seemed that I touched some mechanism, and it became like this." ”

Although Gvielle said it simply, Leo could still make sense that it was none other than that this strange wizard had infiltrated the house while he was going to attend the wake.

It's just that this infiltrator didn't expect that there were other people in this house, and this person's strength was very strong, and he didn't expect that this room secretly contained a mechanism specifically for wizards and other psykers, and he was finally imprisoned here and couldn't move.

"Ciri, wait a minute, the chains on your body are one, and if you untie the chains on your body, the chains on this person's body will also be undone. ”

Leo didn't immediately disarm the mechanism, but explained, motioning for Givan to be at ease, then walked over to the window and inserted the key into a hole in the base of the small cage. After twisting the key a few times, only to hear a click, the key was pushed out of the hole by a mechanism, and the small cage disintegrated and retracted into the wall.

The freed White Boots Duke immediately became energetic and got up from the ground, but instead of speaking, he nodded to Leo, and then, under the cover of Leo's figure, jumped on the window behind him and ran outside. But it didn't go far, but just hid under the eaves by the window, pricked up its ears, and listened to the inside of the house, as if it was ready to wait for the things in the house to calm down, and then talk to Leo about it.

After rescuing the Duke of the White Boots, Leo turned to the wizard who always looked fearless, and said, "If I'm guessing correctly, your Excellency should be the Expedition Charl Ronco, right?"
