Chapter 441: The King of the Academic Realm

While Leo was speculating about the details of the Roosevelt family because of various discoveries, Diffie Roosevelt had finished his toast, and then left the hall surrounded by several people, and the other Roosevelt family members were in charge of receiving the guests, and the banquet began again, and the hall became noisy again, and many people who did not like the noisy environment left their seats and went to the garden.

Although it was a dinner party, there weren't many people who actually ate at the table, and the vast majority of people had eaten before they came, and they didn't come here for the food at the banquet, but for the people at the banquet.

Leo did not make his way to the garden, but walked in front of the statues in the hall, stopping from time to time to admire them.

As I heard before, the Roosevelt family seems to be very obsessed with the white deer, and nearly half of the surrounding statues are white deer statues, and the rest of the statues are carved with some heroes from ancient legends, and it is very interesting that most of these hero sculptures are statues of the pirate Count Francis Drake.

All of the more interesting sculptures related to Drake are not the classic scene of Drake fighting at sea in Admiral or Battle Attire, but rather Drake wearing a scholar's costume and making some high-minded talk to people.

"These Drake sculptures are weird, aren't they?" At this time, Leon Larson, who was a little different from the surrounding atmosphere, came to Leo's side again, and said in a wordless manner in order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere at the moment: "Actually, these sculptures are carved very vividly, and there is no mistake in carving." Everyone thinks that Francis Drake is just a brave sea warrior, but in fact Count Drake is also a learned scholar, but his sea legend is so famous that everyone ignores his other identity. ”

"Another identity?" Leo looked at Leon Larsson with interest.

Seeing Leo respond to his words, Leon Larsson breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the awkward atmosphere around him had eased a little, so he replied: "Actually, Earl Drake has another identity, he is the founder of the Royal Academy, and he is also the funder of the construction cost of the Royal Academy, but because the reputation of the first dean, Mr. Birmingham, is too great, so everyone only remembers Mr. Birmingham and thinks that the Royal Academy was invested and built by Mr. Birmingham." ”

"Is that the case?" Leo was also a little surprised by the news, because he had never heard of such rumors, but he didn't think that Leon Larsson would just make up such an easy lie, and there must be evidence at hand.

Just as Leo guessed, Leon Larsson was worried that Leo would think he was talking nonsense, and hurriedly added: "Actually, not many people know about this matter, it is only recorded in the earliest memo of the Royal Academy, but after the death of Count Drake, the royal family seems to have covered up this matter for some reasons, destroyed those memoranda related to Count Drake, and deliberately created some rumors, and finally made the truth of this matter completely concealed." As he spoke, a look of pride appeared on his face, and he said, "However, my ancestors used to be Sir Birmingham's personal recorders, and his personal experience of the Royal Academy from scratch has also been recorded in his diary. There are also things related to Earl Drake, such as mentioning that Earl Drake's knowledge even exceeds that of Sir Birmingham, and Sir Birmingham often asks Earl Drake some questions as a student. ”

As Leon Larsson spoke, Leo suddenly thought of something, he remembered that Old Man Rembrandt had mentioned that there were several book families in Velon, and that even Old Man Rembrandt felt envious and jealous of these families, and the Larson family of the Kingdom of England was among them.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but feel that he might take this opportunity to make friends with the Leon Larsson in front of him, and if he had the opportunity, he could go to Larson's house to see the collection of books that even the old man Rembrandt was very envious of.

Driven by this idea, Leo also threw out some suitable topics at the right time to continue the conversation.

Leon Larsson is just an ordinary scholar, and he is a very traditional, research-oriented scholar, he doesn't know how to socialize, he doesn't hide his mood, and he will easily show his face, which makes it easy for Leo to find out the topics he is interested in, so that the relationship between them is drunk and some discussions are gradually deepened.

It didn't take long for Leon Larsson to see Leo as a good friend to befriend, and Leo invited him to his house to view the books.

At this time, Frank, the reception servant of the mansion who was waiting at the door, entered the hall, stood on tiptoe, raised his head, looked repeatedly in the hall several times, and after finding Leo, he hurried over, and then saluted Leo and Leon Larsson very decently, and then said to Leo: "Sir, your letter has been handed over to Sir Roland, and after Sir Roland has read your letter, he is very eager to meet you, do you have time now?"

"Sir Roland, Sir Fidia Roland?" confirmed Leon Larsson, with some astonishment.

Although he is also a scholar in the Kingdom of England, scholars are also divided into high and low, Leon Larsson is definitely among the low-level scholars, he relies more on the glory of his family to support the dignity of scholars, but Phoea Loren is different, he is the top scholar, even the entire Vinylon academic community, and some people even think that his achievements have surpassed the first president of the Royal Academy, Sir Birmingham.

However, now such a scholar at the top of the academic world is so eager to see this new friend by his side, which makes him wonder what kind of identity the other party is, a scholar or a nobleman?

Although Leo's main purpose here was to meet this Fidia Rolland, he did not show impatience and left Leon Larsson next to him, but turned to Leon Larsson and asked, "Mr. Larson, are you interested in meeting this Sir Roland together?"

"Huh?" Leon Larsson was surprised by Leo's invitation, in his opinion, Leo should leave everything behind and leave immediately after getting Fidia Loren, if he had changed, he would definitely do so, but now Leo did not leave, but invited himself, which made him feel a kind of respect that he had never felt before, and his heart was inexplicably moved, and he regarded Leo as a real friend worthy of deep friendship.

Although he also wanted to agree to Leo's invitation, after all, Phoea Loren was like a god in the academic world of the Kingdom of England, and it was a matter of pride to be able to discuss issues with him for a lifetime, but he also knew that his knowledge was probably inferior to that of Phoea Loren's disciples, and it would only be humiliating to go rashly.

Therefore, Leon Larsson rejected Leo's invitation, and very formally invited Leo to go to Larson's manor for the past two days, and after receiving Leo's affirmative reply, he took the initiative to leave.

"Lead the way!" Leo commanded Frank after Leon Larsson left.

"Please come with me, sir!" replied Frank in a low voice, then turned and led Leo out through the side door, into the garden path next to it, and towards the study building on the side of the garden.

On the way, Frank suddenly said: "If you have the ability, you can help Mr. Larson, after all, the Larson family is also a very famous scholar family in Port Set, and it is a great pity for us born in Port Set to continue to be ruined like this." ”

Leo looked at Frank with some doubts, judging from Frank's previous behavior, he abides by the rules of servants very strictly, and will never say words beyond the scope of the rules, and now Frank's words are already a bit violated, if the people of the Roosevelt family know, then he will be punished lightly, and it is likely that he will be dismissed directly.

"Why do you care so much about the Larsen family?" asked Leo, a little confused.

Frank replied with some seriousness: "The Larson family has always taught poor children in the ghetto to learn all kinds of knowledge for free, and I learned to read and write in the primary school opened by the Larson family, so I was able to be successfully selected by the Roosevelt family to become a servant of the Roosevelt family and get out of that ...... All in all, I am very grateful to the Larson family and hope to be able to help the Larson family do something. ”

"Are there any difficulties with the Larsons?" Leo didn't question Frank's words, but asked to get to the point.

Frank replied, "Mr. Lyons has been deceived by a friend's belief that a mining company in the United States has discovered a new vein there, and wants to buy it when the company's stock price is still low, and then sell it when it rises, and make some money to repair Larson Manor." I never thought that this was just a scam, not only did there be no ore vein, but even the company was fake, and in the end all the money was cheated, making the current Larson family's daily expenses unsustainable. And Mr. Lyons, in order to maintain the school in the civilian area, has begun to sell some of the antiques among them, and if this continues, sooner or later the estate will be sold. ”

"Why didn't he close that school?" asked Leo again.

Frank looked at Leo and said, "Maybe it's for the sake of face, or maybe he really wants to give civilians the opportunity to learn for free, in short, Mr. Leon is trying to keep the school running." ”

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted such an act of kindness!" Leo admitted.

Frank was a little surprised, stunned, and said, "Mr. Leo, you are different from the others. ”

Leo asked, "Because of an apology to a servant?"

Frank nodded slightly and said, "In this manor, even people with low status will not apologize to servants like us. ”

Leo didn't respond, and after walking some distance behind Frank, he said, "I'll think about the Larsson family." ”

"Thank you. Frank smiled as if he had been rewarded.

The two walked some more distance, through a well-designed garden, and came to a small building surrounded by countless flowers.

At this time, there were already people waiting there outside the building, and when they saw Frank bringing someone over, they immediately greeted him, and asked Frank very quickly with his eyes, and after Frank nodded slightly, he saluted Leo very respectfully, and then said: "Hello, Sir Roland has been waiting for you for a long time, please come with me." ”

After saying that, he took over Frank's task, led Leo through the garden, into the cabin, and walked all the way to the study, then stopped, turned to Leo, and said, "Sir Roland has been waiting for a long time, please come in." ”

Walking into the door opened by the servant, Leo entered the study, only to see that the study was very large, very simple, there were no ornate utensils, and Leo's renovated study, the bookcase was inlaid into the wall, rows of books were piled up all over the bookcase, and judging from the smell, the books here were all ancient books.

Leo's eyes scanned the bookcase, and from the name on it, he found a large number of ancient books that were out of print, almost all of them involved ancient myths, civilization ruins and the like, and all of them were very professional, and even some more ancient parchment and papyrus scrolls on the top of the bookshelf.

There was no desk in the study, only a few chairs and a stove, and at this moment an old man was very attentive on the coffee table in front of the chair, surrounded by some ancient books, judging from all kinds of traces, these books had just been read, and the old man obviously did not find the answer he wanted from these books, and muttered some words repeatedly.

Although it was not loud, the room was empty, so Leo could hear it clearly even without his extraordinary hearing.

It was obvious that the words from the royal city that Leo had left in his heart had stumped the old man in front of him, and he was full of curiosity and doubts about this newly discovered text, and his body and mind were completely immersed in cracking the words, even if Leo walked to his side without noticing.

"You should use the Mompa language family to decipher this text, not the Khadgar language. Leo stood beside the old man for a moment, then suddenly spoke.

The old man was completely immersed in cracking the text, not realizing how strange it was for someone to speak next to him at this time, but as if there should be a fellow scholar beside him, he didn't raise his head, and discussed seriously: "No, it shouldn't be the Mompa language family, the way these characters are written is obviously early imprinted scripts, since they are imprinted characters, of course they must be interpreted in the Khadgar language?"

"You only judge the language family of this language by the font, but the font of the language is meaningless, the content is the essence of the language," Leo leaned over, stretched out his hand and pointed at the words that served as conjunctions in that line of text, and continued: "If you look closely, you should find that these words are used to connect the whole sentence, and their frequency is very similar to the word rules of the Mompa language. ”
