Because everyone attending the Silver Moon Castle banquet has an unusual status, the security here is also very strict. Even distinguished guests holding special invitations are not allowed to bring weapons into the banquet.

Leo knew this beforehand, so he put the king, queen and backpack in the old man's villa, and went out with only the twins who had turned into fists.

Leo was very clear-headed when he placed the things with the old man. It is undeniable that his thoughts were more or less influenced by that affinity, but the decision he finally made was made through the calmness of his parabrain system.

Results after analysis.

Although Leo still knows nothing about the old man's true identity and other information, he can tell from the attitudes of Anne, Rupert and others that the old man's identity is very unusual. Based on this identity, it is speculated that those things are in

In Leo's eyes, everything was a priceless treasure, but in the eyes of the old man, it was nothing, so it was very appropriate to place it with the old man.

On the way here, Leo was also thinking about why the old man gave him the invitation?

Just like what the old man said, just let him observe Rupert, a supporter of Duke Devin, at close range? Leo was deeply suspicious of this.

Leo, who had never figured out the old man's intention, lowered the brim of his hat, covered his glasses, closed his eyes and meditated, guessing the old man's intention, and completely ignored Emily sitting opposite.

After the initial tension and restraint, Emily relaxed a little. Perhaps she felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little too cold, so she had nothing to say and said, "Will I bring you something?"

What's the trouble?"

"Trouble?" Leo, who was out of contemplation, looked at Emily and asked, "What trouble will there be?"

"Will it affect your work?" Emily said with some worry: "Although you are a senior servant of the castle, but you bring people into the castle banquet..."

Leo smiled, looked at the confused little woman, and asked, "Who told you that I am a servant in the castle?"

"Ah?" Emily was a little surprised again.

At this time, a carriage in front was inspected and it was found that the invitation was fake. The carriage was immediately taken away by the police from Shangyue Lake District who maintained order. It is unknown what kind of interrogation the person in the carriage will face, but his official career is definitely

It's finished.

Seeing this scene, Emily looked at Leo nervously, obviously worried that the invitation on Leo was the same as the person on the carriage before.

At this time, the castle steward who was responsible for checking the invitations led the bodyguards to Leo's carriage. He did not show any contempt or suspicion because of Leo's old carriage and ordinary clothes, but just like before when he checked other people's invitations

, bowed respectfully to Leo in the car, then lowered his posture and said: "This guest, please show your invitation so that we can arrange your route to the castle."

Hearing the steward's voice, Emily looked nervous. She lowered her head and shrank her body in the shadow of the carriage. She pictured herself being taken to the police station in her mind.

However, what surprised her was that when Leo across from him took out a black invitation that was different from other invitations, the look on the steward's face changed slightly, and then he took the invitation with very cautious hands and compared it carefully.

Checked the code in his manual.

After getting the result, the steward handed the invitation back to Leo in a more respectful manner, turned to give instructions to the castle security guard a few times, and then said to Leo: "Please let me guide you."

After getting Leo's permission, the steward climbed into the driving position of the carriage, took the reins from the driver's hand, and skillfully maneuvered the carriage out of the many carriages on the square, and drove into an entrance that was deliberately left empty.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, they drove into the Silver Moon Valley.

"It's a special invitation, it must be a special invitation!"

"Damn it, I was right next to you just now, why didn't you go up?"

"I remember someone went up."

"Looks like a woman wearing a cheap lace dress."

"That woman is so lucky."

Just after this old carriage passed through the special entrance and drove into Silver Moon Valley, waves of discussions immediately rang out in the entrance square, and there were many emotions such as envy, jealousy, and chagrin in these voices.

Emily was completely speechless at this moment. No matter how confused she was, she could tell from the steward's attitude that the invitation was not ordinary. This also made her look at Leo carefully and compare his appearance and memory.

Compare it with the big figures in Miria City.

"This invitation was given to me by someone else." Leo guessed Emily's thoughts from her little actions and explained.

"Oh!" Emily obviously didn't stop at what Leo said and was still guessing about Leo's identity.

Leo asked somewhat boredly: "Why do you want to attend this banquet?"

Emily hesitated for a moment, then truthfully stated her purpose.

When Leo heard Emily's words, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Only then did he remember from his body's past memory that for people in this era, becoming the lover or mistress of a powerful person was not a shameful thing. Many

People at the bottom are also willing to use such relationships to gain access to society.

"I wish you good luck." When Leo was a cyborg in the past, he did not have this kind of emotional and moral cognition, but now the thoughts and cognition gained from his previous body make him not disgusted with this kind of behavior, and he is not disgusted with this kind of behavior.

I didn’t approve of it, so I didn’t have any conceptual changes towards the little woman in front of me who was willing to sacrifice for her family.

"Thank you." Emily responded softly.

The carriage quickly drove through a tree-lined avenue. The huge trees on both sides of the road formed a natural dome, covering the road and making the road appear very dark. However, when the carriage passed through this dark environment, the scene ahead was revealed.

Suddenly, the bright light as bright as daylight turned the entire Silver Moon Castle into the most dazzling pearl.

"Wow! It's so bright!" When the strong light came in from the car window, Emily couldn't help but feel curious. She stretched her head over and looked outside. The strong light that decorated the manor was in her eyes.

It seemed as if they had turned into gems, which fascinated her.

Compared with Emily who was surprised by those strong light sources, Leo was a little surprised and confused by those light sources, because those light sources were very familiar to Leo, they were the light bulbs seen in Jean Valjean's studio.

However, the appearance of these light bulbs is now much better than the light bulbs in Jean Valjean's studio, and it seems that the filament of these light bulbs has also been changed, using another filament that can withstand higher temperatures and is brighter.

These light bulbs are not only a light source, but also a heat source. Under the illumination of a large number of light bulbs, the temperature inside the manor is not cold at all even in the cold wave. Many people are willing to stay in the courtyard and walk back and forth to communicate with each other.

"What are these? They are so bright?" Emily looked at the light bulbs hanging high on both sides of the road and couldn't help but ask.

The steward sitting at the front of the car regarded this inquiry as a request from the guest. Even if Emily did not meet any of the guest's requirements, he patiently explained: "This thing is called a lamp, and it relies on electricity to produce strong light.

"

"Electricity?" Emily couldn't help but think of the power grid outside the prison and said, "Is it the electricity the prison uses to monitor prisoners?"

"Yes." The steward seemed very proud of the grand scene in front of him and said: "This electric lamp is an invention that the owner got from an inventor. However, the owner made some improvements to the invention to make it emit more light.

Stronger and more durable, tonight's banquet is the first time that the master has demonstrated this great invention to the outside world."

"How much does this kind of electric lamp cost?" Leo suddenly asked.

Obviously Leo was not the first to ask this question, and it was not a confidential matter, so the steward replied without thinking at all: "The cost of one electric lamp alone requires two thousand gold flanges, and other supporting equipment."

The cost is at least 100,000 yuan."

"What? Two thousand gold flanges?" Emily looked at the palace-like buildings in the distance on the road and asked blankly: "How many electric lights are used in Silver Moon Castle?"

"There are twenty thousand in total," the steward said proudly.

Emily's heavy breathing was only heard in the carriage, and then she was seen sitting on a chair. She was speechless for a long time, counting with her fingers how many gold francs she had spent.

After calculating for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a result. She just felt that the number was bigger than her imagination.

"Forty million gold francs?" Compared to Emily's shock, Leo's attitude towards such a huge amount of money was more of doubt and contemplation.

Fighting wars means fighting for money. Whether in the Earth Federation or in this world, this sentence is as true as ever.

Although forty million gold flanges is nothing to the finances of big countries like the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, if all of them are invested in a war, such as the current war between the French Empire and the Kingdom of England, then it will

Enough to turn the tide of the war.

However, with such a huge sum of money, Rupert did not give it to Duke Devin for the war, but used it to decorate the castle. This made Leo unable to figure out what the purpose of this was.

Just when Leo was puzzled by Rupert's lavish arrangement of light bulbs, Emily, who was sitting opposite him, casually muttered that Mr. Rupert Fitz was really rich, which suddenly made Leo's thoughts change.

It's clear.

Yes, Rupert did this to instill an idea into all the guests present, that is, Rupert is very rich, and the Duke of Devon he supports is also very rich, and this money is enough to support them in a fight

In the protracted war of attrition, no one who is their enemy can see any hope of victory. The only thing they can see is the endless consumption of money.

No matter how high-spirited a soldier is when faced with a war that is absolutely impossible to win, he will not have the desire to continue fighting, and Rupert wants to achieve this effect.

The guests he invited this time accounted for more than 90% of the powerful people in Miriam, half of whom were officials from embassies of various countries. Under his careful arrangement, all the guests present would be under the influence of subtle influence.

They were instilled with the idea that if they continued to fight against Rupert and Duke Devin, there would be no possibility of victory. And this idea would be brought back to the embassy, ​​their respective institutions, and their respective countries, and eventually Germany would be able to win.

Duke Wen gained the opportunity to win in this war without gunpowder.

"What a powerful psychological battle!" Through the analysis of the secondary brain system, Leo couldn't help but admire Rupert's intentions after he completely understood it.

Although Leo saw through Rupert's thoughts, there was no way to solve it, and he was not the only one to see through Rupert's thoughts. The owner of the invitation in his hand may have guessed Rupert the moment he received the invitation.

Very attentive.

Therefore, the old man never thought about being present. He handed this invitation to Leo, probably with the intention of letting Leo see how smart and powerful his opponent was.

After driving for a certain distance outside a garden, the carriage came to a square in front of a courtyard.

This square is very large, filled with all kinds of high-end carriages. When Leo's carriage stopped here, the carriage that should have been the most inconspicuous became the most eye-catching, with almost everyone waiting on the carriage waiting for its owner.

The coachmen all cast their eyes on this old carriage in unison, as if they were looking at something rare.

But when they saw clearly that the person driving the carriage was the steward of the castle estate, the expressions on their faces immediately became much more solemn and solemn, and all the disdainful expressions subsided.

The coachmen who often go in and out of the castle to attend banquets with the owner know very well that there is only one kind of person who will be escorted by the castle steward in a car. This person is the person with a special invitation, and such a person is definitely not something that little people like them can laugh at.

After the carriage stopped at a special parking space, the steward jumped down from the front of the carriage, walked to the side of the door, opened the door, and raised his hand towards Emily as if to support her, without revealing anything about Emily's background or clothing.

A little bit of resentment and discrimination.

Emily also carefully held the steward's hand and got out of the carriage. Seeing the drivers in other carriages looking at her, she couldn't help but shrink her neck and looked around, trying to find a place where she could hide from her sight.

a while.

If Emily coming down just made the coachmen and servants present feel puzzled, then when Leo got out of the car, under the guidance of the steward, and Emily entered the banquet venue in the courtyard, the scene made

There was only confusion and confusion in their eyes.

The first and most important condition for servants of powerful people like them is to know people. They need to know the identity information of other powerful people in Miria City, and they need to be able to recognize at a glance who this person is, what his identity is, etc., so almost Mi

All the prominent figures in Leah City cannot escape the eyes of these people.

But this time they made a mistake, because they found that they did not even know the young man who was personally received by the castle steward. It was as if this man had jumped out of a rock. He had no identity information and had only been to the strip in the business district one morning.

The servants in the food court vaguely felt that Leo, the mysterious powerful man, was somewhat similar to the gourmet in the background.
