Just as Leo was speculating on the details of the Roosevelt family due to various discoveries, Diffie Roosevelt had finished his toast and left the hall surrounded by several people. Other members of the Roosevelt family were responsible for receiving the guests, and the banquet was also

It started again, and the hall became noisy again. Many people who didn't like this noisy environment left their seats and went to the garden.

Although this is a dinner party, there are not many people actually eating at the table. Most people have eaten before coming. They are not here for the food at the banquet, but for the people at the banquet.

Leo did not go to the garden, but walked in front of the statues in the hall, stopping from time to time to admire the statues.

As I heard before, the Roosevelt family seems to be very obsessed with white deer. Nearly half of the surrounding statues are white deer statues, and the rest of the statues are carved with some heroes from ancient legends. What is very interesting is that these

Among the heroic sculptures, there are mostly statues of pirate Earl Francis Drake.

What is more interesting about all the sculptures related to Drake is not the classic scene of Drake wearing admiral clothes or battle clothes and fighting on the sea. Instead, it shows Drake wearing scholar clothes and giving some eloquent talks to people.

"Aren't these Drake sculptures weird?" At this time, Leon Larson, who was somewhat different from the surrounding atmosphere, came closer to Leo again, and said in a casual way to ease the awkward atmosphere at this moment: "

In fact, these sculptures are all carved very vividly and are not wrong. Everyone thinks that Francis Drake is just a brave sea warrior, but in fact Earl Drake is also a learned scholar, just because of his sea skills.

The legendary experience is so famous that everyone ignores his other identity."

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

Seeing Leo respond to his words, Leon Larson breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that the awkward atmosphere around him had eased a little, so he replied: "Actually, Earl Drake still has another identity.

He is the founder of the Royal Academy and the funder of the construction costs of the Royal Academy. However, because the reputation of the first president, Mr. Birmingham, is so great, everyone only remembers Mr. Birmingham and thinks that the Royal Academy is Mr. Birmingham.

Invested and built.”

"Is there such a thing?" Leo was also a little surprised by the news, because he had never heard of similar rumors, but he didn't think that Leon Larson would casually make up such a statement that could easily lie.

There must be evidence on hand.

Just as Leo guessed, Leon Larson was worried that Leo thought he was talking nonsense, and quickly added an explanation: "In fact, not many people know about this matter, it is only recorded in the earliest memorandum of the Royal Academy.

However, after the death of Earl Drake, the royal family seemed to cover up the matter for some reasons, destroying the memoranda related to Earl Drake, and deliberately creating some rumors, which eventually caused the truth of the matter to be revealed.

Completely covered up." As he spoke, there was a look of pride on his face, and he said: "However, my ancestor was once the personal recorder of Sir Birmingham, and he personally experienced the Royal Academy from scratch.

This experience was also recorded in the diary. There are also things related to Earl Drake in it. For example, it is mentioned that Earl Drake's knowledge even surpassed that of Sir Birmingham. Sir Birmingham often consulted Germany as a student.

Earl Lake has some questions."

While Leon Larson was talking, Leo suddenly thought of something. He remembered that Old Rembrandt once mentioned that there were several book collecting families in Velen. The collections of books in these families were even felt by Old Rembrandt.

Envy and jealousy, and the Larson family of the Kingdom of England is among them.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but feel that he should probably take this opportunity to make friends with Leon Larson in front of him. If there is a chance, he can go to Larson's house and see him. Even old Rembrandt is very envious.

Collection of books.

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

Leon Larson is just an ordinary scholar, and he is a very traditional scholar who does research. He doesn't know how to socialize, and he can't hide his mood and can easily show it on his face. This makes Leo

It's easy enough to find out the topics he's interested in, and let the relationship gradually deepen through some discussions.

It didn't take long for Leon Larson to regard Leo as a good friend worthy of deep friendship, and with some subtle hints from Leo, he took the initiative to invite Leo to his home to view the collection of books.

At this time, the reception servant Frank who was waiting at the door entered the hall. He stood on tiptoes, raised his head, and searched the hall several times. After discovering Leo, he hurried over and then said very appropriately

He saluted Leo and Leon Larson, and then said to Leo: "Sir, your letter has been given to Sir Roland. After reading your letter, Sir Roland is very eager to talk to you.

Let’s meet, do you have time now?”

"Sir Roland? Sir Fidia Roland?" Leon Larson confirmed with some surprise.

Although he is also a scholar from the Kingdom of England, scholars are also divided into high and low classes. Leon Larson is definitely among the low class scholars. He relies more on the glory of his family to support the scholar's dignity, but Feidi

Ya Roland is different. He is the top scholar, even in the entire Velen academic world. Some even think that his achievements have surpassed Sir Birmingham, the first president of the Royal Academy.

However, now such a scholar who stands at the top of the academic world is so eager to meet his new friend, which makes him wonder what his identity is, a scholar or a noble?

Although Leo's main purpose of coming here was to meet this Fidia Roland, he did not show any impatience and left Leon Larson next to him. Instead, he turned towards Leon Larson,

Asked: "Mr. Larson, are you interested in meeting this Sir Roland together?"

"Ah?" Leon Larson was surprised by Leo's invitation. In his opinion, after getting Fedia Roland, Leo should leave everything and leave immediately. If it were replaced, he would definitely do this.

, but now Leo did not leave, but instead extended an invitation to himself, which made him feel a kind of respect he had never experienced before, and he was also inexplicably moved in his heart, and he regarded Leo as a real friend worthy of deep friendship.

Although he also wanted to agree to Leo's invitation, after all, Fidia Roland was like a god-like existence in the academic circles of the Kingdom of England, and being able to discuss issues with him was something to be proud of for a lifetime, but he also had self-awareness.

I am afraid that my knowledge is not as good as that of Fidia Roland's disciples. Going there rashly will only bring humiliation to myself.

Therefore, Leon Larson rejected Leo's invitation and very formally invited Leo to go to the Larson family's manor in the past two days. After receiving a positive reply from Leo, he left on his own initiative.

"Lead the way!" Leo ordered Frank after Leon Larson left.

"Please come with me, sir!" Frank responded in a low voice, then turned around and led Leo out of the side door, into the garden path next to him, and walked towards the library located on the side of the garden.

On the way, Frank suddenly said: "If you are able, sir, you can help Mr. Larson. After all, the Larson family is also a very famous family of scholars in Port Set. If it continues to be ruined like this, it will not be good for us who were born in Port Set."

It is also a very regrettable thing.”

Leo looked at Frank with some doubts. Judging from Frank's behavior before, he abided by the rules of servants very strictly and would never say anything beyond the scope of the rules. But now Frank's words have already violated the rules.

, if someone from the Roosevelt family knew about it, then his punishment would be relatively light, and he would most likely be fired directly.

"Why do you care so much about the Larson family?" Leo asked with some confusion.

Frank replied somewhat seriously: "The Larson family has been teaching poor children in the urban areas to learn various knowledge for free. It was because I learned literacy in the elementary school run by the Larson family that I was successfully admitted to Roosevelt.

Selected by the family to become a servant of the Roosevelt family, get rid of that... In short, I am very grateful to the Larson family and hope to do something to help the Larson family."

"Did the Larson family encounter any difficulties?" Leo did not question Frank's words, but asked the topic.

Frank replied: "Mr. Lyon listened to the bewitchment of a friend and thought that a mining company in the United States and California had discovered new mineral veins there, so he wanted to buy the company's stock price when it was still low, and wait until it rose.

Sell ​​it, make some money, and repair the Larson Manor. I never thought that this was just a scam. Not only was there no mineral vein, but even the company was fake. In the end, all the money was defrauded, leaving the Larson family now.

Daily expenses are unsustainable. In order to maintain the school in the urban area, Mr. Lyon has begun to sell some antiques in his house. If this continues, sooner or later the manor will be sold."

"Why doesn't he close that school?" Leo asked 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 study for free. In short, Mr. Lyon is working hard to maintain the normal operation of the school."

"Sorry, I shouldn't doubt this kind act!" Leo admitted his mistake.

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

Leo asked: "Because you apologized to a servant?"

Frank nodded slightly and said: "In this manor, no matter how low the status is, people will not apologize to servants like us."

Leo did not respond. After walking a certain distance behind Frank, he said, "I will consider the Larson family's affairs."

"Thank you." Frank smiled as if he had received a reward.

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

At this time, there were already people waiting outside the building. After seeing Frank bringing people over, they immediately came up to greet him and quickly asked Frank with their eyes. After Frank nodded slightly, he looked at Leo very respectfully.

He saluted 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 and led Leo through the garden and into the hut. When he walked all the way to the study, he stopped, turned around and saluted Leo, and said: "Sir Roland has been waiting for a long time.

Yes, please come in."

Walking into the door opened by the servant, Leo entered the study room. He saw that the study room was large and simple, without any gorgeous utensils. Just like Leo's renovated study room, the bookcases were mounted on the wall in rows.

The bookcases are filled with books, and judging from the smell, all the books here are ancient books.

Leo glanced at the bookcase and found a large number of out-of-print ancient books from the names above. Almost all of the books related to ancient mythology, civilization relics and other information, and all the books were very professional, even

There are also some more ancient parchment and papyrus scrolls on the top shelf.

There is no desk in the study, only a few chairs and a heater. At this moment, an old man is very focused on climbing on the coffee table in front of the chair. There are some ancient books piled around. Judging from various traces, these books have been read just now, but the old man obviously has not

I found the answers I wanted from these books and muttered some words over and over again.

Although the sound was not loud, because the room was very empty, Leo could hear it clearly even without 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. He was full of curiosity and doubts about this newly discovered text, and his body and mind were completely immersed in deciphering the words, even if Leo left.

When I got to him, I didn't notice anything.

"You should use the Monpa language to decipher this text, not the Khadga language." Leo stood next to the old man for a while and suddenly said.

The old man was completely immersed in deciphering the text, and did not realize how strange it was that someone was speaking next to him at this time. Instead, as if there should be a fellow scholar beside him, he discussed seriously without even raising his head:

"No, it shouldn't be from the Mengpa language family. The writing method of these characters is obviously early imprinted characters. Since they are imprinted characters, of course they must be interpreted in the Khadjia language family?"

"You only judge the language family from the fonts, but the fonts of the language are meaningless. The content is the essence of the language." Leo leaned down and reached out for a few words that functioned as conjunctions in the line of text.

He pointed up and continued: "If you observe carefully, you should find that these words are used to connect the entire sentence, and their frequency of occurrence is very similar to the word usage rules of the Mengpa language family."
