In the early morning, sitting in the restaurant of the hotel, Leo drank morning tea, picked up the newspaper that had been ironed by the waiter, and started to read it. The headline on the front page was that the ship aboard the Spiritual Theater Troupe encountered an accident in Wales.
News of capsizing at the mouth of the river.
Seeing this news, Leo almost didn't need to think too much to know that this must be Vashqi's revenge. Judging from the lack of casualties in the subsequent news reports, it was obvious that although Vashqi was extremely angry, he was still able to control his emotions and did not act.
Defend tightly, otherwise with Vashj's ability and the water environment, even if Mitty Grant cannot be killed, it will not be difficult to kill her members.
After flipping through the headline page, you can see that the next page is the follow-up report of the last performance of the spiritual theater group Inge Kingdom Tour. As for the report about the strange incident at the Sea Spear Tavern in Queens District, it was compressed in the eighth page.
Some newspapers did not even record this incident in their urban anecdotes.
Two days have passed since the night of the last performance of the Spiritual Drama Troupe. For the people in Durin City, life is still the same as before. They have no feeling at all that they were facing annihilation two days ago.
, almost died in his sleep.
However, for the senior officials of the Kingdom of England, these two days have been very turbulent, because the political development of the senior officials of the kingdom is dizzying, and they are completely confused. Many people are even thinking about whether there is something wrong.
Big things will happen.
The announcement of the retirement of the Navy's Chief of Logistics, Anderson Lehman, became the first news to disrupt the political situation of the Kingdom of England. After Hoover Hansen was assassinated, almost everyone believed that the next Chief of General Staff would inevitably fall to Anderson Lehman.
on the body.
Because in terms of qualifications and prestige, Anderson Lehman is the first choice. Although he has some disadvantages in terms of age and is too old, there is still no problem in serving as the chief of general staff for a few years.
But no one expected that Anderson Lehman would take the initiative to submit a retirement application, nor did they expect that the retirement application would be approved so quickly at the highest meeting of the Navy. He only needed to submit it to Congress and the royal family to go through some formalities.
The discussion above and stamping will take effect immediately.
Some people soon linked Anderson Lehman's retirement to the assassination of Hoover Hanson, and the Navy quickly linked it to the assassination of Hoover Hanson, although the conflict between Anderson Lehman and Hoover Hanson was
But that doesn't mean that outsiders don't know about the internal conflicts of the navy's top brass. In fact, the hatred between the two navy brass is often a topic of conversation among the residents of the kingdom after dinner. But now it has become an open matter because of one death and one retirement.
That's what happened.
Many people believed that Hoover Hansen was killed by a killer hired by Anderson Lehman. Some newspapers that were afraid of chaos also discussed these matters with great fanfare. Some members of the House of Commons even wanted to use this incident to gain publicity.
Name the names and submit a proposal to the House of Commons to investigate whether Anderson Lehman was involved in the death of Hoover Hanson.
Judging from the content disclosed in the newspaper, Anderson Lehman's situation seems to be very bad. He may be arrested, investigated, or even imprisoned at any time. However, if you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that all the various crimes against Anderson Lehman are
The remarks were all made by insignificant minor characters, and the newspapers that reported them were only third-rate newspapers. None of the most mainstream newspapers in Durin City reported these things, which shows that Anderson Lehman's situation is not very bad.
In addition to the retirement of senior navy officials, more than 20 royal court officials, members of Congress and government officials have also chosen to retire or leave their jobs in the past two days. The positions of these 20 people are undoubtedly positions of real power. As for resignations
The reasons for retirement are also the same, they all say that one's body is no longer suitable for heavy work, etc.
It would be fine if the person who said this was sixty or seventy years old, but the youngest person who said these words was only in his twenties, and the oldest was only in his thirties. They all belong to the young and strong sect. How could they treat this kind of people?
Work feels heavy.
However, the only people who really care about the reasons for the resignation of these officials and congressmen are ordinary people who have nothing to do. For the kingdom's top dignitaries, the most important thing is the final ownership of the more than twenty vacant positions.
It is conceivable that in the near future, these positions of real power will become the target of competition among various high-level factions in the kingdom, and the high-level struggle will also become a Shura field.
After seeing these reports, Leo began to consider waiting to return to Set Port and immediately go to the Minsk mainland to avoid being involved in the struggle between the kingdom's top officials. After all, no one knew whether there would be a fool who wanted to show off himself.
ability, use it as a background wall.
At the same time, he would also suggest Jason and the others to avoid this high-level struggle and go abroad for a walk. After all, who can be sure whether those who are obsessed with power will do anything outrageous, such as Hoover Han.
Candidates from those organizations in Sen.
At noon of the next day, after Leo made sure that Mitty Grant was far away from Durin City, he contacted the rune magic circle around the Sea Spear Tavern and released everyone trapped in the tavern.
All the strange things that happened inside and outside the Sea Spear Tavern that night were covered up, and even the newspapers only published the entertainment versions of some third-rate newspapers.
Although the trapped persons who were released had no physical problems, they had suffered some mental damage, and some bad things seemed to have happened when they were trapped. After they were released, everyone's expressions looked a little...
eccentric.
Perhaps not wanting these followers of Hoover Hansen to do anything extraordinary, the Navy's top brass used the excuse that they were not in good spirits to force these middle- and low-level officers to take a leave of absence. This incident actually caused some newspaper criticism.
noticed, reported it, and even linked it to the resignation of Anderson Lehman.
"You are such a troublemaker!" Just when Leo put the newspaper aside and urgently needed to deal with the food in front of him, Frank Forson, who had just entered the restaurant, walked directly to him and sat down without any courtesy.
Said to Leo.
Leo looked at Frank Forson coldly and did not refute.
"This high-level turmoil will not subside for a long time, and will spread to the colonies. In order to stabilize the situation, my retirement application has been temporarily shelved." Frank Fussen said angrily.
For other people, the director of the Special Bureau is a high-power position, but for Frank Forson, it is just his burden. He can't wait to take over this burden. Unfortunately, God does not follow people's wishes. It was originally very smooth.
The retirement application was put on hold at this time, and he had to sit down indefinitely in this painful position.
"Congratulations." Leo stared at Frank Forson for a while before saying something that made veins pop up on the other person's forehead.
Frank Forson said angrily: "This is not something to be happy about."
"But I feel like you enjoy it." Leo retorted.
Regarding Leo's rebuttal, Frank Fussen felt both angry and amused, and said in a deep voice: "How did you see that I enjoyed it?"
"If not, you can just drop everything and leave directly. I don't think the orders of the royal family and Congress can affect you." Leo's eyes seemed to be able to see through all the thoughts in Frank Forson's heart.
He continued: "You are simply reluctant to give up the rights in your hands now. For a person who has already enjoyed the pleasure of rights, it is probably not easy to give up the rights in his hands."
Frank Forson did not refute, but fell silent.
He had to admit in his heart that Leo was indeed right. Deep down in his heart, he really couldn't let go of the rights in his hands, even if those rights were somewhat idle.
At this moment, Otto, an old wizard in a crisp coat and stylish clothes, also walked in from outside the restaurant and sat next to Leo. After looking at Frank Forson, he turned to Leo and said: "It's a bad idea."
Those guys have been resolved, and the royal family and Congress have reached another agreement with the Navy. The Navy should not conduct any arrests of Mitty Grant in the short term, but it is unclear whether it will in the future.
Already."
"There's no need to tell me this. I won't get involved in this matter anymore. Even if there is another disaster here, I won't care." Leo stated his attitude mercilessly.
After hearing Leo's words, what the old wizard wanted to say was blocked in his throat.
He came to Leo this time because an important figure in the royal family wanted to meet Leo, but now it seemed that it was obviously not a good idea for Leo to meet that important figure, because based on his understanding of the character of that royal figure
, coupled with Leo's attitude at the moment, he could be sure that there would definitely be a conflict without thinking too much, which would actually create an enemy for the royal family.
Thinking of this, the old wizard gave up his original idea, and then as if he was looking for something to talk about, he asked about the time and place of the subsequent potion transaction.
Frank Forson, who had no intention of retiring, was also very concerned about the potion. After all, it was related to the lives of those under his command, so he also joined in.
Leo knew very well that these two people probably wanted to get more wizard potions from him, but he had no intention of increasing the quantity of wizard potions shipped, but he also had no intention of letting go of the two best buyers in front of him.
, so he tried to sell his rune magic circle.
"Is this the witchcraft you used yesterday?" Compared to Frank Forson, the old wizard Otto had personally seen the effect of Leo's use of the rune magic circle, although he also had a way to crack the rune magic circle at the time.
Created a mirror world, but it will definitely not be easy. Even if he faced the rune magic circle like this, other ordinary family members or extraordinary people, if they can't find the right way to leave, will probably be like the people trapped in the tavern that day.
, we can only get out of trouble after the power of the magic circle disappears.
The old wizard had always thought that the witchcraft should be difficult to use, so although he was angry with the witchcraft, he never thought of asking about its details. But now he found out from Leo's mouth that he thought that
Very special witchcraft seemed to be mass-produced just like wizard potions, and it seemed that it could also be used by others. This made him feel extremely novel, and he also transferred his interest in wizard potions to it.
Although Frank Forson has never seen Leo use the rune magic circle with his own eyes, he can sense the old wizard's expectation from his expression. In addition, he has also heard about the Sea Spear Tavern, so he is also interested in it.
I am interested in this kind of rune magic circle that can trap people in a small place.
Under the expectant gazes of the two people, Leo took out two rune traps and placed them on the table. Frank Forson and the old wizard each picked up a rune trap and looked at it carefully.
When the two of them were checking the rune traps, Leo also introduced the functions of the two rune traps.
These two rune traps are not the rune magic circle that sealed the tavern that day, but just two simple rune traps, which are triggering, and more importantly, only Leo's spiritual energy can activate this rune trap.
Rune traps, any kind of energy can be used as a medium to activate rune traps.
"How powerful is this thing?" Although Frank Forson's overall strength may be slightly better than that of the old wizard, his knowledge and eyesight are obviously not comparable to that of the old wizard, and he cannot see the composition of this rune trap at all, so he only
Can put it down and asked Leo a key question directly.
Leo replied in a deep voice: "The freezing trap in your hand, after being triggered, can instantly freeze the person who triggered it. As for how long it can be frozen, there is no fixed time."
Frank Forson thought for a while and asked: "What about me as an example?"
Leo thought about it seriously and said, "Take you as an example, you can only take a few breaths at most."
Hearing Leo's answer, Frank Fussen had a shocked expression on his face, because he knew very well that a few breaths were enough to kill him several times.
At this time, the old wizard also put down the things and asked Leo: "What is the price of this thing?"
"I don't want money, I just want materials!" Leo replied.
"Material? What material?" the old wizard asked again.
Leo looked at the old wizard thoughtfully, smiled and said, "Materials that wizards can use."
The old wizard seemed to know what the material Leo mentioned was, and the look on his face was a little strange. Frank Fosen on the side could not understand the content of the charade-like conversation between the old wizard and Leo at all, but he was sure that the old wizard
The materials that need to be paid are probably not only precious, but also very difficult to obtain.
"What about me?" Frank Forson also asked.
"Same." Leo looked at the other person and replied simply.
Frank Forson frowned and said, "But I don't know what material you want?"
"Aren't you the director of the Special Bureau? Since you don't know what information I want, then go check it out." As Leo spoke, he stood up and pointed at Frank Forson and the old wizard who was still in a daze respectively.
