Early in the morning, sitting in the restaurant of the hotel, Leo drank morning tea, picked up the newspaper that had been ironed by the waiter, and flipped through it, and the headline on the front page was the news that the boat on which the Spiritual Drama Troupe was traveling had an accident and capsized at the mouth of the Wales River.

Seeing this news, Leo almost didn't have to think about it, he knew that this must be Vaskey's revenge, and judging from the follow-up news report that there were no casualties, it was obvious that Vasqi was extremely angry, but he was still able to control his emotions and did not defend to the death, otherwise with Vasqi's ability and the environment in the water, even if he couldn't kill Mitty Grant, it would not be difficult to kill those members of her subordinates.

Flipping through the pages of the front page, one can see that the next page is a follow-up to the last show of the Spiritual Theatre Troupe's tour of the Kingdom of England, and as for the report on the strange incident at the Sea Spear Tavern in the Queen's District, it has been condensed into the eighth edition of the urban anecdote, and some newspapers have not even recorded it.

Two days had passed since the night of the last performance of the Spiritual Theatre Troupe, and for the people of Turin, the days had not changed as before, and they did not feel at all that they had almost died in their sleep two days earlier.

However, for the top management of the Kingdom of England, these two days were very turbulent two days, because the political development of the top level of the Kingdom was dazzling, and it was completely confusing to figure out the clue, and many people even thought about whether something big would happen.

The Navy's chief of logistics, Andeson Lehman, announced his retirement as the first news to disrupt the political situation in the Kingdom of England, and after the assassination of Hoover Hansen, almost everyone believed that the next chief of staff would inevitably fall on Anderson Lehman.

Because whether it is qualifications or prestige, Anderson Lehman is the first choice, although he is a little inferior in terms of age and too old, but it is no problem to sit in the position of chief of the general staff for a few years.

But no one expected that Anderson Lehman would take the initiative to submit an application for retirement, let alone that the retirement application would be passed so quickly at the highest meeting of the Navy Department, and it only needed to be submitted to Congress and the royal family again, and it would take effect immediately.

Soon, some people linked the retirement of Anderson Lehman and the Navy War Department to the assassination of Hoover Hansen through this matter, although the contradiction between Anderson Lehman and Hoover Hansen is an internal contradiction between the top echelons of the Navy, but it does not mean that people from the outside world do not know, in fact, the feud between these two top Navy officials is often the talk of the residents of the kingdom after dinner, but now it has become a matter of the open face because of the death and retirement.

Many people believe that Hoover Hansen was killed by Anderson Lehman's hired killers, and some newspapers that are afraid that the world will not be chaotic have also discussed these matters with great fanfare, and even some members of the House of Commons want to use this incident to make a name for themselves and submit a proposal to the House of Commons to investigate whether Anderson Lehman is related to the death of Hoover Hansen.

Judging from the content disclosed in the newspaper, Anderson Lehman's situation seems to be very bad, and he will be arrested and investigated at any time, and even convicted and imprisoned, but as long as you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that all the various remarks against Anderson Lehman are from some insignificant small characters, and the newspapers that report are only some third-rate newspapers, and none of the most mainstream newspapers in Turin City report these things, which shows that Anderson Lehman's situation is not very bad.

In addition to the retirement of the top echelons of the Navy, more than 20 officials of the royal court, members of Congress and government officials have also chosen to retire or resign in the past two days, and these more than 20 people are undoubtedly in positions of real power, and the reasons for leaving and retiring are also the same, all of which are saying that their bodies are no longer suitable for heavy work, etc.

It would be fine if the person who said this was sixty or seventy years old, but the youngest person who said these words was only in his twenties, and the oldest was only in his thirties.

It's just that the only people who really care about the reasons for the resignation of these officials and parliamentarians are the ordinary people who have nothing to do, and in the eyes of the high-ranking elites of the kingdom, the most important thing is the final ownership of the more than 20 vacant positions.

It is conceivable that in the near future, these positions of real power will become the target of various factions at the top of the kingdom, and the high-level struggle will also become a Shura field.

After seeing these reports, Leo began to think about going to the mainland of Minsk as soon as he returned to Port Set to avoid being drawn into the struggle at the top of the kingdom, after all, no one knew if there would be a fool who wanted to show his ability and use him as a background wall.

At the same time, he also advised Jason to avoid this high-level struggle and go abroad, after all, who can be sure that those who are carried away for power will do anything out of the ordinary, such as Hoover Hansen's organizational candidates.

At noon the next day, after making sure that Mitty Grant had left Turin City, Leo made contact with the rune magic array around the Sea Spear Tavern and released the people trapped in the tavern.

And all the strange things that happened inside and outside the Sea Spear Tavern that night were covered up, and even the newspapers were only published in the entertaining editions of some third-rate newspapers.

Although there was nothing wrong with the trapped people who were released, they had some mental damage, and something not very good seemed to happen when they were trapped, which made everyone's expressions look a little strange after they were released.

Perhaps not wanting these Hoover Hansen followers to do anything out of the ordinary, the top brass of the Navy forcibly put these middle and low-ranking officers on leave under the pretext that they were not in good spirits, and this incident attracted the attention of some newspapers, and reported it, and even linked the matter to the resignation of Anderson Lehman.

"You're such a troublemaker!" Just as Leo put the newspaper aside, and was in urgent need of dealing with the food in front of him, Frank Fussen, who had just entered the restaurant, walked straight to his side, sat down on his own, and said to Leo unceremoniously.

Leo looked at Frank Foson coldly and didn't refute.

"This high-level turmoil will not subside for a long time and will spread to the colonies. In order to stabilize the situation, my retirement application was put on hold. Frank Fussen said angrily.

For others, the Director of the Special Bureau is a high-powered position, but for Frank Forson, it is just a burden on him, and he can't wait to ask for this burden, but unfortunately, the originally very smooth retirement application has been put on hold at this time, and he must sit in this position that gives him a headache indefinitely.

"Congratulations. Leo stared at Frank Forson for a few moments before saying something that made the other man's forehead rise.

Frank Forson said angrily: "It's not something to be happy about. ”

"But I feel like you're having fun. Leo retorted.

Frank Forson was both angry and amused by Leo's rebuttal, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you see me enjoying myself?"

"If not, you can leave everything you have and leave, I don't think the royal family and the orders of Parliament can affect you. Leo's eyes seemed to be able to see through all the thoughts in Frank Forson's heart, and he continued: "You are not willing to give up the power in your hands now, and it may not be easy for a person who has already enjoyed the pleasure of power to give up the power in his hands. ”

Frank Forson didn't retort, just fell silent.

He had to admit in his heart that Leo was indeed right, and deep down in his heart, he really couldn't let go of the rights in his hands, even if those rights were somewhat idle.

At this moment, the old wizard Otto, dressed in a straight coat and fashionable, also walked in from outside the restaurant, sat next to Leo, looked at Frank Forson, turned to Leo and said: "The guys who had bad ideas have been resolved, and the royal family and Congress have also reached another set of agreements with the navy, and the navy should not carry out any arrest operations on Mitty Grant in the short term, but it is not clear whether it will be in the future." ”

"There's no need to tell me this, I'm not going to get involved in this matter, and even if there is any disaster here in the future, I won't care. Leo said mercilessly to pick out his attitude.

Hearing Leo's words, the old wizard originally wanted to say something was blocked in his throat and couldn't say it.

He came to Leo this time to find an important person in the royal family who wanted to meet Leo, but now it seems that it is obviously not a good idea to let Leo meet with that important person, because with his understanding of the character of that royal figure, coupled with Leo's attitude at the moment, he can be very sure that there will be a conflict without thinking too much, and that will set up an enemy for the royal family.

Thinking of this, the old wizard dispelled his original thoughts, and then, as if he had nothing to say, he inquired about the time and place of the transaction of the follow-up potion.

And Frank Fussen, who has no intention of retiring, is also very concerned about the matter of potions, after all, it is related to the lives and safety of those under him, so he also got up.

Leo knew very well that the two of them should want to get more wizard potions from him, but he didn't plan to increase the number of wizard potions shipped, but he also didn't plan to let go of the two best buyers in front of him, so he tried to sell his rune magic array.

"Is that the magic you used yesterday?" Compared to Frank Fussen, the old wizard Otto had seen the effects of Leo's use of the rune magic array with his own eyes, although he also had a way to crack the mirror realm created by the rune magic array at that time, but it was definitely not easy. He was still like this in the face of the rune magic array, and if other ordinary dependents or transcendents couldn't find the right way to leave, they would probably be like the people trapped in the tavern that day, and they could only get out of the trap after the power of the magic array disappeared.

The old wizard had always thought that the witchcraft should be difficult to use, so although he was angry with the witchcraft, he didn't bother to ask for its details, and now from Leo's mouth, he found that the witchcraft that he thought was very special seemed to be as mass-produced as wizarding potions, and it seemed that it could be used by other people, which made him feel very novel, and he also transferred his interest in wizarding potions to this.

Although Frank Fussen had not seen Leo use the rune magic circle with his own eyes, he could sense the anticipation of the other party from the old wizard's demeanor, and he had also heard about the Sea Spear Tavern, so he was also interested in this kind of rune magic circle that could trap people in a small place.

Under the expectant gaze of the two, Leo took out two rune traps and placed them on the table, and Frank Fuson and the old wizard each picked up one rune trap and looked at it carefully.

When Leo looked at the rune traps between them, he also introduced the effects of the two rune traps.

These two rune traps were not the rune magic array that banned the tavern that day, but just two simple rune traps, which themselves were triggered, and more importantly, it was no longer only Leo's psionic energy that could activate this rune trap, any kind of energy could be used as a medium to activate the rune trap.

"How powerful is this thing?" Although Frank Fuson's overall strength may be slightly better than that of the old wizard, his knowledge and eyesight are obviously not comparable to the old wizard, and he can't see the composition of this rune trap at all, so he can only put it down and ask Leo a key question directly.

Leo replied in a deep voice: "The Freeze Trap in your hand, after it is triggered, it can instantly freeze the person who triggered it, as for how long it can freeze, there is no constant time. ”

Frank Forson thought for a moment and asked, "What about me?"

Leo thought about it seriously and said, "In your case, you can only take a few breaths at most. ”

Hearing Leo's answer, a shocked expression appeared on Frank Forson's face, as he knew very well that a few breaths would be enough to kill him several times.

At this time, the old wizard also put the thing down, and asked Leo, "How much does this thing cost?"

"I don't want money, I just want materials!" replied Leo.

"Materials—what materials?" asked the old wizard again.

Leo looked at the old wizard meaningfully, smiled and said, "The materials that wizards can use." ”

The old wizard seemed to know what the material Leo was mentioning, and the expression on his face was a little strange, while Frank Fussen on the side couldn't understand the old wizard and Leo's conversation like a dumb riddle, but he was sure that the materials that the old wizard had to pay were not only precious, but also difficult to obtain.

"What about me?" asked Frank Forson.

"Same. Leo looked at the other and replied simply.

Frank Fussen frowned and said, "But I don't know what you want?"

"Aren't you the director of the Special Bureau? Since you don't know what materials I want, go check them out. As Leo spoke, he stood up, pointed to the rune traps on the table to Frank Fuson and the old wizard who was still in a daze, and said, "Those two rune traps will be used as samples for the two of you to go back to test the power, and then you will know whether it is worth it or not." ”
