Chapter 443: Roosevelt's Suspicion
"He was a pupil of Master Rembrandt?" said Diffie Roosevelt, for when he got the notebook, the first people who thought of helping him decipher the text on it were his teacher, Sir Roland, and the other was Old Man Rembrandt.
At that time, he sent someone to invite the old man Rembrandt, but unfortunately the old man Rembrandt had already gone to the Moisan continent for archaeology, which made his hopes disappointed. So much so that now the work of cracking the text of the notes has fallen into a bottleneck, and he also thinks that it may be related to the lack of invitation to the old man Rembrandt, so this time he is ready to go to the Moisan continent in person to see if he can invite the old man Rembrandt to help decipher the text.
Now that a student of old Rembrandt had arrived, the timing was so critical that he could not help but be a little suspicious, and the first thought was of other people who were also interested in this notebook.
It was no secret that he had a copy of Earl Drake's notebook in his possession, in fact, there were many people who competed with him for this notebook at the time, but in the end they did not have enough cash on him to withdraw from the competition, and it seemed to him that those who withdrew must have been unwilling to take this notebook from him.
Although it is still unclear what exactly is recorded in this notebook full of strange words, Diffie Roosevelt knows very well what kind of person Count Drake wrote this notebook is, that is a mysterious tower wizard, only those who have really come into contact with the wizarding community understand what kind of existence the tower wizard is, in the eyes of wizards, the tower wizard is as powerful and mysterious as a god in the eyes of believers.
In fact, no one can be sure whether Count Drake is really dead, because there have been tomb robbers who have visited Count Drake's graveyard in the past, except for some unlucky people who have been killed in the cemetery mechanism, there are still some clever thieves who have come out of it safely and brought out some valuables, and these tomb robbers claim that Count Drake's coffin is empty and there is no body.
To the ears of ordinary people, this situation is very easy to explain, Count Drake's body should have been stolen by the enemy, after all, there were countless enemy navies and pirates who died in the hands of Count Drake, and there were always one or two fish that slipped through the net. These fish that slipped through the net could not take revenge on Count Drake during his lifetime, so he could only steal his body after Count Drake's death to vent his anger.
But for people like Diffie Roosevelt who know the true identity of Count Drake, one thing is clear, that is, the cemetery of Count Drake that the world knows now is absolutely impossible to be true, because the mechanisms arranged in the entire cemetery are some mechanical mechanisms, and there is nothing related to witchcraft, otherwise those tomb robbers will never get out alive, so they think that Count Drake is not actually dead, his death is just a disguise.
It is precisely because of the awe of Count Drake that even if someone covets the relics left by Count Drake, no one dares to really use strong means to snatch them, of course, if the heirs of Count Drake's descendants take the initiative to take out Earl Drake's relics and sell them, there is no problem in thinking about this matter.
Therefore, over the years, those who coveted Earl Drake's relics have tried their best to guide Earl Drake's descendants to spend money lavishly, and finally made Earl Drake's House, which was as rich as the Duke of Buckingham, an empty shell, and Earl Drake's descendants had to take out the relics of their ancestors to sell in order to maintain their decent aristocratic life, and the notebook that fell on Diffie Roosevelt's hand was one of them.
Just a year ago, Count Drake's descendants took out five Count Drake's relics at one time and sent them to the royal auction for auction, and Diffie Roosevelt was actually going to buy a ring from Count Drake.
As an apprentice wizard, he could easily find out that the ring was actually a wizard's curiosity, but he was not the only one who knew this, and among those hidden buyers, there were many powerful backgrounds comparable to the Roosevelt family, and they still came prepared, and in the end, the ring was not successfully auctioned.
Naturally, the notebook written in mysterious characters became his second concern, and he was originally going to buy it at a low price, because after the Drake prank incident, there were many fewer people interested in Drake's notes, and the price naturally couldn't be raised.
The so-called Drake prank is actually related to a Drake note written in a different ancient language that was sold before, and the descendants of Count Drake once sold a copy of Count Drake's notebook, which was also written in a very ancient language, and the person who bought the notebook took it home to find someone to translate it, only to find out that the notebook was actually a fantasy written by Count Drake when he was bored on the ship, and it was worthless.
In the eyes of many people, this notebook, also written in an unknown ancient language, is probably the same as the previous notes, and it is also something that Count Drake wrote when he was bored, so most people think that not many people are interested in this notebook at the auction.
However, what Diffie Roosevelt did not expect was that when the auction began, many people still showed strong interest in the notebook and participated in the auction, and finally Diffie Roosevelt had to buy the notebook at a price three times higher than expected.
At first, Diffie Roosevelt was a little apprehensive about buying the notebook, because he was also a linguist, but he could not understand the language in the notebook at all, which made him suspect that the notebook was another Earl Drake prank, and he was even a little hesitant to ask Sir Roland to decipher the language of the notebook.
But then something happened that convinced him that the notebook was anything but simple, the first was that several nobles of considerable status approached him in the hope of buying the notebook from him for more than five times the price he had offered at auction that day, and the second was that some of the main houses of the Roosevelt family had been invaded in various places where he had been.
It was precisely because of these events that he realized that this notebook might not be easier than he expected, so he specially invited Sir Roland to form a team to decipher the notes.
It's just that there are difficulties in deciphering the work from the beginning, and the text on it is not any kind of known script in the current Vilun world, it is completely new text, so there is no way to find the idea of interpretation from the root language family.
When things were at a bottleneck, the previous nobles contacted him again, this time for ten times the price before, and also hinted to him during the conversation that the notes were useless in his hands, and he couldn't know what the words on the notes were, so he suspected that Sir Roland's team had the eyes and ears arranged by these nobles, otherwise it would be impossible to interpret the progress of the notes so clearly.
This time, Sir Roland came to Sec Port to hide quietly, and he thought about letting Sir Roland rebuild the team, and Sir Roland also had this intention, thinking that there might be some good ideas for changing some people.
But at this moment, this Leo Dodd appeared out of nowhere, and it seemed that he had a very deep knowledge of paleolinguistics, and was a very suitable new team member, and this coincidence made people feel like they had been arranged in advance.
At this time, he also thought that the place where Leo now lives is the property of the royal family, and the transfer process of this property is very strange, and one of the several nobles who contacted him this time represents the royal family, which makes him can't help but practice the two.
Although Diffie Roosevelt's questioning sounded like confirming Leo's identity, both Leo and Sir Roland could vaguely sense Diffie Roosevelt's somewhat repulsive attitude, and neither of them knew why Diffie Roosevelt had such an attitude.
"I wasn't a student of his, but I studied with him for a short time. Although Leo sensed the change in Diffie Roosevelt's attitude and vaguely speculated that things might be in trouble, he did not show any unusual emotions on his face, and answered truthfully.
"I'm sorry, but if you were really a student of Master Rembrandt, Mr. Leo, then I'd be happy for you to join the team, but now you'...... It's a pity!" Devie Roosevelt very directly vetoed Sir Roland's decision to invite Leo to join the team, without any scruples about Sir Roland's face, and Sir Roland only frowned slightly, and did not open his mouth to defend Leo.
In the face of Diffie Roosevelt's direct attitude, Leo smiled and said: "I think you may have misunderstood, I just came here to meet Sir Roland, after all, I heard old man Rembrandt mention Sir many times, and I was just a little curious, as for the team that Sir Roland said, I don't know what team it is, and I haven't thought about what team to join, after all, I have a lot of things to deal with on my own hands, and I don't want to waste time on some boring things." ”
"Boring things?" Leo's words not only made Diffie Roosevelt feel a little displeased, but even Sir Roland's eyes showed a little dissatisfaction, after all, he had been studying the boring things in Leo's mouth for nearly a year, and even worse, these boring things had not yet come to fruition.
Diffie Roosevelt suppressed his displeasure with Leo, let his tone be as calm as possible, and said: "I'm sorry, Sir Roland and I need to discuss some personal matters, it's inconvenient for outsiders to be present, and I ask Mr. Leo to leave, the banquet is being held outside, I hope Mr. Leo can have a good time at the banquet." ”
Seeing that Diffie Roosevelt had begun to chase away the guests, Leo did not intend to stay, stood up, saluted Sir Roland, and then walked out of the room.
Although he walked out of the room, his spiritual net still hung over the room, because he wondered why Diffie Roosevelt's attitude had suddenly changed so much.
As Leo walked out of the room and closed the door, Sir Roland couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and asked for the answers to the questions that Leo also wanted to know, and Diffie Roosevelt did not hide his concerns.
After hearing Diffie Roosevelt's words, Leo was also a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect that the time he came here was so unfortunate, and he was finally regarded as a spy for other nobles by Diffie Roosevelt.
After learning the truth, Leo couldn't help but be interested in the book of Count Drake's notes that Diffie Roosevelt had in his hand, but he also hoped to get some useful information from Diffie Roosevelt, since someone already knew the value of that notebook, then as the most well-informed black market, of course, there would be similar news, he only needed to buy the news with money, and he didn't have to make any risky moves at all.
Upon returning to the garden of the mansion, Leo did not leave immediately, but walked around the garden, engaging in some conversations with the others and explaining some of the factory owners who would be useful in the future, just like most of the normal guests here.
However, Leo could feel that there were a lot of eyes around him at this time, and the source of those eyes was either the guards of the mansion or the servants shuttling back and forth, it was obvious that Diffie Roosevelt was not worried about Leo, even if Leo had left the house, he was still worried about Leo's unusual behavior in the mansion.
Leo didn't care about these surveillance, he always behaved like a normal person, until people began to leave the banquet, and he walked out of the Marquis Roosevelt's mansion under the watchful eyes of many people, and boarded the carriage back to the apartment.
It didn't end with Leo's departure, and in the days that followed, Leo was able to spot a number of people watching his apartment through the psychic web, apparently sent by Diffie Roosevelt, who probably wanted to know from him who was interested in his notes.
It's a pity that these surveillance initiatives have no results, and Leo has not gone out at all these days, and has been conducting various witchcraft research and practice in the laboratory or study of the apartment.
After that, the news came that Diffie Roosevelt had left Port Set, and Sir Roland was with him, and it seemed that they were preparing to reorganize the team in a different place.
Although Diffie Roosevelt and Sir Roland have both left, Leo feels that the matter is not over and that they should meet soon.
The reason why he is so confident is because when he met Sir Roland, he found that Sir Roland's health was a little bad, and it would not be long before Sir Roland fell ill, and the research team that had lost his backbone would definitely have to find a new dominant candidate, and this person was likely to be Rembrandt. It's just that the matter at hand is much more important than translating the notes written by someone else to a nobleman, so it is certainly impossible for the old man to agree to be the leader of this team.
And Sir Roland will definitely think of him again, and if there is no accident, he should recommend him again to join the team that interprets the notes.
