Chapter 424: The Duke of Buckingham
Seeing the document handed over by the Duke of Buckingham, the director of the special department couldn't help but be stunned, the look on his face became a little serious, and he took the document with both hands very carefully, and then opened it and looked through it carefully.
After flipping through a few pages a little, his face was also filled with a look of surprise, and if this document had not been handed to him by the Duke of Buckingham himself, he would have even thought that this document was complete nonsense.
Although he is an ordinary person, he can become the head of a special department more or less knows that this world is not ordinary, and in the normal world, there is a mysterious world where there are various mythical creatures, and the people in that world are extraordinary human beings with strength beyond common sense.
In the past, in several missions assigned by the Duke of Buckingham, he had worked with several such extraordinary humans, and although he was not present in person, he was able to see countless incredible things and incredible creatures from the information reported by his subordinates, such as a person can easily destroy a house, or a person suddenly becomes a giant wolf, etc.
Although he was curious about the affairs of that world, he did not want to contact that world too much, because the dangers of that world were far beyond his ability, and he remembered that in order to cooperate with those missions, more than thirty of his good men died, leaving him unavailable for a long time.
You know, those thirty or so good hands are all experienced warriors, each of whom has completed at least five dangerous missions, and from the intelligence point of view, these good hands are just because they were inadvertently involved in the edge of the battle, and then they were torn to shreds like scarecrows, and they didn't even have the strength to resist.
However, now in the document in his hand, he saw a transcendent human belonging to that mysterious world, and this human had been considered an ordinary person a moment ago.
"Is this all true?" After carefully reading the document, the head of the special department respectfully put the document back on the table, and then said with some disbelief: "Judging from the information in my hand, he has always been nothing special?"
The Duke of Buckingham did not blame his subordinates for questioning, in fact, he preferred his subordinates to question some of his opinions, so that he could look at his thoughts from another perspective and find out the loopholes in his ideas, so he patiently explained: "Most of the information in your hands is his intelligence in the Kingdom of England, and the information after he joined the army is very small, he should have some power obtained by some mutation in the war that year, and also entered that world." As he spoke, he paused again and said, "The royal family's Seagod Scepter was also found by him, so those royal properties in Port Set should be the reward for finding the Seagod's Scepter." ”
"Poseidon Scepter?" The director was stunned for a moment, how could he not have heard of the Poseidon Scepter as an Inge person.
According to ancient royal legends, the royal family relied on the Seagod's Scepter to control the sea, and finally established a foothold in this archipelago far from the continent of Veron, and developed into the current sea overlord.
It's just that, in the hearts of the English people, the Poseidon Scepter is the same as the identity of the royal family's self-proclaimed son of the Poseidon, which is regarded as the boast of the Inge royal family, in order to elevate their status, so that when facing the former suzerain, the French Empire, they can not fall behind in momentum and psychology.
But now the Duke of Buckingham's words indicate that the Poseidon Scepter is real, which makes him think of the legendary power of the Poseidon Scepter and the magical performance of the royal fleet during typhoons.
The director couldn't help but show a little worry and asked, "Your Highness, the royal family really has mastered the Seagod Scepter, so our fleet ......?"
Duke Buckingham shook his head and said with a relaxed face: "It doesn't matter, although the Seagod Scepter is still the Seagod Scepter, the royal family is not the royal family of the year, they can't give full play to the full power of the Seagod Scepter, they can only rely on the power of the Scepter to steal food during the typhoon period, and it will not have any impact on our fleet." As he spoke, he was reluctant to say anything more on this topic, so he turned back to Leo's question and asked, "You have seen the document just now, tell me what you think." ”
The director of the special department pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "It's better not to become an enemy, and once you become an enemy, you have to do your best to deal with him." ”
"Well, you think the same thing as I do. The Duke of Buckingham nodded, but changed his mind and said, "Don't contact him for the time being, and don't send people to Port Set, and you personally go and warn those people below not to make any small moves, I don't want to cause a big trouble because of their self-inflicted cleverness." ”
"Yes, I know how to do it. The Director nodded.
After the order was finished, the Duke of Buckingham waved him to retreat, and after the director left the room, on the sofa on one side of the room, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air with a burst of water waves.
I saw that this person was very young, probably only in his twenties, with curly red hair and two delicately trimmed mustaches, very handsome in appearance, and dressed in the most popular short trench coat gentleman's dress in the Kingdom of England now.
"You're really willing to give up, knowing that this Leo Dodd is the only survivor of the Queen Mary, and he probably knows the whereabouts of that thing. The young man asked the Duke of Buckingham as he sat back on the sofa very casually.
The Duke of Buckingham lowered his head to handle the document in his hand, and asked without raising his head: "You have read the document, do you think you can take down this Leo Dodd with your strength?"
"Of course it's impossible. The young man gave the answer without thinking about it, and said: "According to the information shown on the information, his strength is at least equivalent to that of a veteran, and I am not much stronger than him." And the information on the document is only half a year ago, Leo Dodd's experience shows that his strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and after almost disappearing for a period of time, if he reappears, his strength will be completely different from before. This time, he has been with Queen Mary for more than half a year, and when he appears again, his strength must have improved a lot, and I don't have the slightest confidence that I can take him down. ”
The Duke of Buckingham quickly skimmed through a document, signed his name at the end, and while putting the document in the box next to him, he glanced at the young man coldly, and said, "In that case, why do you ask me if I am willing to give up?"
"Actually, you can spread the word that he is the only survivor of the Queen Mary, and I'm sure there will be a lot of ......," the young man said with a smile.
"What's in it for me?" interrupted the Duke of Buckingham coldly without waiting for the other party to finish.
The young man was immediately stuck, although his approach could indeed attract many people to provoke Leo, but this matter could not bring any benefit to the Duke of Buckingham in any way, but would cause unnecessary trouble to the security of the Kingdom of England due to the arrival of a large number of outsiders.
"Then what do you think you should do? You can't just leave it alone, can you?" said the young man angrily.
"Why should I deal with this Leo Dodd, is he our enemy? No, he is not, he just hired my former butler, and my butler will never reveal any secrets he knows. The Duke of Buckingham looked at the other party calmly and said, "Since he is not an enemy, then why should I always think about dealing with him, why don't I want to become a partner with him? ”
As he spoke, he tossed a document in his hand to the young man.
The young man skillfully took the document, looked through it quickly, frowned, and said, "Are you going to invest in the Shell Machinery Factory in Port Set? ”
"It's a different situation now. The Duke of Buckingham said in a deep voice: "My men found out that Leo Dodd had invested a third of the shares in this bankrupt factory yesterday, and then he gave a drawing to the machine factory, and asked the machine factory to make some very useful gadgets. According to my estimate, the Shell Machinery Factory will get through the storm soon, and it will be better than before, so now is the best time to invest, and by the way, to be able to get in touch with this Leo Dodd. ”
The young man listened to the Duke of Buckingham's narration, and was suddenly stunned, as if he thought of the meaning behind the Duke of Buckingham's words, and said in surprise: "Are you going to see that Leo Dodd in person?"
It was no wonder that the young man was so surprised, because the man sitting in front of him had left this room only a handful of times in the past ten years, and it was usually other people who came here to see him, and the people he had left the house to meet in person were all the highest ranking people in each country, but now he said that he wanted to leave here and meet one in person
Civilian, this is really beyond the expectations of young people, even if this civilian has extraordinary strength.
"Yes, I do intend to meet him in person. The Duke of Buckingham admitted the young man's speculation.
The young man's relationship with the Duke of Buckingham was extraordinary, and he spoke casually, so he said a little openly: "That guy can't be the illegitimate son of the previous Duke of Buckingham, your half-brother, right?"
Duke Buckingham glared at the young man with a cold face, then pulled out a document from the pile of papers, shook it over, and said, "I hope you can complete this task as easily as you do now." ”
The young man took the document and opened the first page, his face became a little ugly, and he said with an angry expression: "Is this a personal vendetta for you?"
"I just give the right task to the right person. As he spoke, the Duke of Buckingham pulled a few more papers from the pile of papers, threw them on the table, and said, "If you feel that you can't complete the task, you can choose one of these mission documents." ”
"Forget it, I think that's good. The young man shook his head and refused the offer without even thinking about it, and then, as if he didn't want to stay any longer, the whole person shrank in an instant, transformed into a silver kingfisher, grabbed a large document completely disproportionate to his size, and flew up quickly, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the air.
After the young man left, the Duke of Buckingham leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyes, then closed his eyes slightly and rested, then suddenly sat up again, reached out and twisted the lamp on the table, and then inserted a key into a keyhole exposed in the lamp.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of gears running from below, and with a slight vibration, the Duke of Buckingham's desk slowly sank into the ground, and a raised floor seamlessly filled the exposed hole, making the study no different from just now except for the lack of a desk.
The floor platform holding the desk sank quickly, and soon reached the bottom, and then the desk turned slightly in one direction, driven by gears and chains, into a secret room that had just opened the iron door, and stopped in the center of the secret room.
I saw that there were a large number of beehive-like holes in the walls of this secret room, and in each hole were some scrolls, some of which were less than one, or even a paper roll that looked very light, but some of which were many, even reaching dozens.
In the secret room, the most eye-catching thing is not the surrounding documents, but the human-faced spider at the top of the secret room.
This spider is very large, almost completely covering the entire roof of the secret room, and it looks very hideous on the outside, after the Duke of Buckingham entered the secret room, this spider woke up from its slumber, and stared at the Duke of Buckingham viciously with more than a dozen pairs of eyes, as if it wanted to eat the Duke of Buckingham alive, but it never made any attack, as if the Duke of Buckingham had something on his body that could restrain him to death, so there was a trace of fear in his eyes.
The Duke of Buckingham ignored the reaction of the big spider, he just looked at the beehives around him, and then reported a few numbers.
When the spider heard the numbers, it immediately climbed onto the hive bookshelf corresponding to the numbers, took out all the scrolls inside, and then hung them upside down with spider silk and placed them neatly on the desk in front of the Duke of Buckingham.
The scrolls that were selected were all made of gold and precious stones, and their face value alone was enough to tell that they were many times more valuable than the other document scrolls on the hive shelves.
Seeing these gold and gem scrolls, the look on Duke Buckingham's face became extremely serious, and then he took a few deep breaths, stabilized his emotions, sat down at the desk, picked up one of the gold and gem scrolls, opened it, and looked at it carefully.
If Leo saw the words on these gold and gem scrolls here, he would definitely be extremely surprised, because the words on them were the kind of special words he had seen in the royal city where everything ended, it was a text that belonged to the combination of the Titans and other civilizations, and it was different from all the languages of Velon, but now this kind of writing appeared in the highest and most prominent powerful chamber in the Kingdom of England, which would really be surprising.
Although the scroll was very large, the content of the scroll was not very much, and the Duke of Buckingham quickly finished reading it, and after reading it, he sat on the chair and said to himself with a puzzled face: "What is so special about him?
