Chapter 456: Uninvited Guest
"Why did you come to me at this time? Isn't our deal already over?" Leo, who was disturbed to read the notes, looked at the fat man in front of him with some dissatisfaction, and said indifferently.
"Mr. Leo, although the old deal is over, can't we have a new deal?" The fat man looked at Leo with a smile, playing with the gem cane in his hand, and was not frightened by Leo at all, and said with a smile: "What's more, I helped you not long ago, if I hadn't been a guarantor, do you think those wolf dogs of the Special Bureau would be able to easily let you go?" You must know that although Nelson's cousin and his wife are famous, they are not enough to influence the decision of the Special Bureau. ”
The fat man in front of him who suddenly disturbed Leo was Sean Donald, who had a deal with Leo in Nest City a few years ago, but compared to the spirit and appearance of being a little old and decadent at that time, Sean, who has now become white and fat, has become completely different.
After the Royal Family of England retrieved the Scepter of the Sea God, it had the ability to sail at sea during the typhoon period with this scepter, so that the Royal Family of England could no longer rely on the parliamentary government in the royal family's finances, and it was also able to influence the Congressional government in reverse, regain some of the rights that had been lost for many years, and expand the influence of the royal family.
As the reason for the change of the royal family, Sean Donald is naturally favored by the English royal family, not only giving Sean a higher title, but even giving him a fief, even if the fief is just a small village, but the fief has not happened for more than a hundred years, and this matter was also very sensational back then.
In addition, Sean Donald also held important positions in the court and the parliamentary government, acting as a liaison officer between Congress and the royal family, although this position sounds like a bit lowly status, but in fact this position has real power, and has great influence on both the royal family and the congressional government.
Recently, the spy case has been so big, and Sean, as a liaison officer between Congress and the royal family, should be very busy, but he didn't expect to suddenly appear here with Leo, and it seems that he wants to hire Leo for something.
Leo didn't doubt Sean's words, he actually felt that the Special Bureau gave up monitoring him, and didn't even bring him to the Special Bureau for questioning, it shouldn't be because of the Nelsons' guarantor, there must be other reasons, so Sean's current words just confirmed his suspicions.
"Thank you!" Leo thanked Sean flatly, and then asked directly, "What new deal?"
Although he doesn't have a good impression of Sean, Leo is not resistant to Sean, in fact, he likes to make deals with Sean, at least after the transaction is completed, Sean pays him very happily, and there will be no reluctance to do anything.
"You know Count Drake, right?" Sean felt Leo's dissatisfaction disappear, and he stopped playing with his cane, and the slight tension in his heart relaxed a little, and then asked Leo mysteriously.
Leo looked at Sean coldly and said, "I'm from Inge, do you think I will know about the pirate earl?"
Hearing this, Sean smiled a little awkwardly, then straightened up and said, "Of course, what I'm talking about can't be the more than a dozen versions of Drake's life that can be said casually outside, but the secret identity of Count Drake." As he spoke, he leaned forward again and said, "Surely you don't know that Count Drake is actually a powerful wizard!"
Hearing Sean's words, Leo suddenly had the urge to slap the white fat cheek in front of him, but he didn't take action, but looked at the other party expressionlessly.
Sean can take on the position of liaison officer, so he naturally has the ability to observe words and colors, otherwise he would not be able to survive in such a complex environment as the high-level of the Inge Kingdom, and his status and power are increasing day by day.
So, he quickly saw the indifference and contempt in Leo's eyes, and even a little impatient, and realized that he seemed to be talking some nonsense.
He coughed dryly twice, relieved his embarrassment, and said directly to the topic, "I came to you this time to hire you to help find another artifact that the sea god gave to the royal family. ”
"Another Seagod artifact?" Leo frowned and said suspiciously: "As far as I know, it seems that the only Seagod artifact owned by the royal family is the Seagod Scepter, where did another Seagod artifact pop up?"
"There is indeed another Seagod artifact, but not many people know about this artifact, let alone you, even if there are only three or four people in the royal family who know it. Sean puffed out his chest proudly, as if it was a great honor to know the secret.
Leo ignored Sean's snort, but thought about Sean's words for a moment, and analyzed: "If I'm not mistaken, this Seagod artifact should have been lost a long time ago, right? ”
"Indeed!" Sean nodded and continued: "Before landing in the Kingdom of Inge, the migration fleet led by the royal family encountered a huge storm at sea, although through the power of the scepter, they were able to sail in the storm, but some of the deep-sea monsters that accompanied the storm were not something that the fleet could deal with, in order to protect the fleet, the royal family took another Seagod artifact and made a deal with the deep-sea monsters, so as to safely come to the archipelago and establish a kingdom. ”
Leo frowned, and fell into contemplation again, he didn't believe Sean's words, he mainly didn't know anything about the monsters in the sea and the sea gods, although the webweaver's mark was full of all kinds of god knowledge, but what made people feel strange was that there was only a lack of records of sea gods, as if there were no gods in the ocean, which was diametrically opposed to the sea god belief that flourished in the sea kingdoms such as the Inge Kingdom and the Sigma Kingdom.
Therefore, now that he heard Sean mention that the sea gods were involved, he was a little uncomfortable for a while, who was accustomed to having complete information for analysis.
However, Leo quickly adjusted and continued to ask Sean, "How could this matter have anything to do with Count Drake?"
Sean explained: "The royal family is not willing to lose the artifact, because the power of the incomplete Poseidon artifact will be greatly reduced, so the royal family has sent people to find another Poseidon artifact more than once in the past, hoping to make the Poseidon artifact complete, and Count Drake is also one of the people entrusted with the search for the artifact, and he is the only one who is closest to the artifact, and may even have obtained the artifact." ”
"Why would the royal family think that Count Drake had obtained the Seagod artifact?" asked Leo with a little confusion.
"Because the lost Poseidon artifact was used in that crucial naval battle, and helped the Kingdom Navy and Count Drake turn the tide of the battle, or more ultimately win. Sean gave the answer, and then said: "And if you look at the life of Count Drake, you will find that since that naval battle, he has been almost invincible at sea, and has not encountered any danger, except that he has obtained the Poseidon Scepter, and the favor of the Poseidon can explain all this, I can no longer think of any other possibility." ”
Leo shook his head slightly and retorted, "You also said before, Count Drake is a very powerful wizard, can't he use his witchcraft to help him navigate safely on the seas?"
Sean shook his head and revealed another secret: "Count Drake was not the only wizard under the royal family's command back then, the royal family also mastered more powerful wizards, and that powerful wizard could not affect the sea through witchcraft, let alone Count Drake." ”
"The Inge royal family has also controlled other wizards?" Leo gave a slightly surprised look.
"I only learned about this news in the past few years. Sean found that he had leaked his mouth, hesitated slightly, and simply revealed some more secrets, so as to persuade Leo, and said: "I don't know what the reason was, many wizards left the Vilun continent and the Minsk continent and went to sea to the Moisan continent. ”
When Leo heard this, he immediately thought of the tower disappearing for a while, so he asked, "Do you know where those wizards ended up?"
"I don't know about that, but I know that the last place they arrived at was in the wasteland. Sean replied.
"The Wasteland?" Leo frowned slightly, then changed the topic back and said, "Since we already knew that the Seagod artifact was in the hands of Count Drake, and the royal family had the help of a powerful wizard, why didn't you ask for the artifact back?"
Sean smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because the artifact is in the hands of Count Drake that the royal family does not dare to act rashly, because as long as he masters that artifact, Count Drake is invincible at sea, and even the wizard of the royal family cannot pose a threat to Count Drake." ”
Leo asked, "I remember that Count Drake has been living on the shore since then, why ......?"
Sean said helplessly: "At that time, the wizard of the royal family had passed away. In fact, the royal family has been waiting for an opportunity to retrieve the artifact, for example, after the death of Earl Drake, the royal family has carefully searched the earl's mansion, and there are even ......"
As he spoke, he stopped, a little embarrassment on his face.
"And the grave, right?" Leo said, taking Sean's words.
"After all, this matter is not very glorious, the royal family actually broke into the hero's grave to search for items after the death of the hero of the kingdom," Leo's bluntness added a little more to Sean's face, he picked up the jewel cane again and played with it, relieving the pressure in his heart, and continued: "The royal family did not find anything related to the Poseidon artifact, and the royal family did not find the body of Count Drake, so the royal family believes that Count Drake is not actually dead." ”
Leo asked, "You're coming to me now, could it be that you found out the whereabouts of Count Drake and wanted to hire me to grab the Poseidon artifact?"
"No, in fact, the royal family was mistaken from the beginning, Count Drake was really dead, but his body and all his belongings were not placed in the cemetery we know now, but in his real cemetery. As he spoke, Sean took out an old book from his purse, placed it on the table, and said, "Mr. Leo, have you read this book?"
"Death Valley?" Leo looked down at the old publication, his eyes fell on the name of the publication, shook his head slightly, and said, "I haven't read it, is this book related to Earl Drake?"
"Earl Drake's grave is in Death Valley. Sean said very formally, "I hope to hire you, Mr. Leo, to go to Death Valley to find Count Drake's grave and find the Poseidon artifact hidden in it." ”
"Are you so sure that the Poseidon artifact is in Count Drake's grave?" Leo asked a little suspiciously, "What if there is no Poseidon artifact in Count Drake's grave?"
Sean said with great certainty: "Impossible, there must be, because the royal family has evidence that cannot be doubted, but these evidence are not suitable for public." ”
Leo didn't ask for evidence, but thought about it for a moment and asked, "What benefits can I gain?"
Sean thought for a moment and said, "As long as it's not beyond my ability, you can ask for it casually." ”
"Whatever you want?" Leo chuckled, then said, "The wizard of the royal family must have left a lot of inheritance after his death! ”
"This ......" Sean hesitated a little, and said with a little embarrassment: "These things have always been kept by the royal family, I ......"
"Needless to say!" Leo pointed to the door and said, "Now you can leave, when you can get what I want, when you can come back to me!"
Seeing Leo so directly ordering the eviction, Sean couldn't stay longer, more importantly, because he was so full of words at the beginning, and now that Leo put forward the conditions, he couldn't do it, and continuing to talk about it would only make things deadlocked. Although he had already found more than a group of people to carry out this matter, he didn't know why he preferred to believe in Leo's ability, after all, the Poseidon Scepter was found by Leo, and he felt that maybe Leo could find another Poseidon artifact this time.
Sean didn't say anything, just got up and left, but when he left, he also played a little trick, he didn't take back the book he took out just now, and still put it on Leo's table.
For Sean's trick, Leo saw it in his eyes, and he knew it very well in his heart, in fact, even if Sean didn't keep this book, he would ask the butler to buy the same book later, because he did have an interest in the real grave of Count Drake, even if there was no reward from Sean, he would also go on a trip, but there was no need to hand over what he found.
So after Sean left, Leo stopped studying Sir Roland's notebook, and instead picked up the copy of Death Valley and looked at it carefully.
Although the book is very thick, Leo flipped through it very quickly, and it took less than an hour for the whole book to be memorized by Leo, but after remembering the book, Leo showed a puzzled look on his face, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, did Sean take the wrong book.
