Chapter 86 Silver Moon Tower
Under the guidance of the steward, we entered the banquet venue, which is the Diana Garden, the largest garden in the entire castle.
Orange trees and honeyweed specially transported from the Moissanite continent are planted in the garden. These two most fragrant plants in the world allow the entire garden to be immersed in this light fragrance all year round.
In addition to this delicate fragrance, the most noteworthy thing about the entire garden is the 137 marble statues of Diana, the goddess of harvest, scattered throughout the garden. These statues are all made by 137 sculptors, and many of them are national treasures.
Sculptor, all the statues are in different forms, which can be called a collection of postures of female sculptures in the world.
At this time, in the garden, long tables were carefully placed on the grass of the garden. Exquisite food and wine from all over the world were randomly placed on the tables for guests to take. The servants only had to stand by the table and continue
Just replenish it with the food and wine you have consumed.
People who come here to attend the banquet can easily enjoy the food and chat at the same time. Sometimes when the band starts playing music, someone will put down what they are doing and casually pick up a female companion in the open space in the middle of the garden.
Dance.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet was very relaxed, making it easy for people to immerse themselves in it.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that almost all the people in the garden are young men and women, making this place more like a blind date place prepared by the dignitaries of Miria City for their descendants.
At this time, the attentive Leo discovered that a senior official of the Continental Congress who had seen in the newspaper was being led by a servant towards the Harvest Hall at the end of the garden, while his nephews and descendants who came with him were left behind by him.
In the garden.
Seeing this, Leo quickly walked to a place close enough to the Harvest Hall, and then tried to release the spiritual net and cover it towards the Harvest Hall.
Because of his experience in the villa and the Skull and Bones Headquarters building, Leo could predict in advance that there must be something like an interference energy field in the Harvest Hall, but what surprised him was that this interference energy field also had the function of counterattack.
.
The moment Leo's spiritual network came into contact with the Harvest Hall, a burst of psychic power suddenly burst out, not only dispersing the spiritual network, but also following the veins of the spiritual network and directly hitting Leo with a wave of psychic energy.
.
Fortunately, Leo instantly activated the perfect control skill, and his body and mind entered a state of perfect control. He easily controlled the mental network to form a mental barrier on the surface of the body, blocking out this powerful but short-lasting psychic wave.
This blocked psychic wave dispersed in all directions. To the people around it, it was just a breeze that appeared out of thin air. Only a few people with particularly sensitive minds could feel something abnormal.
Just when Leo thought that the matter was over, a spiritual energy wave very similar to the spiritual network swept through the garden, but Leo's perfect control was not released. When the spiritual energy wave fell on him, his body was
Under perfect control, he became no different from an ordinary person, thus narrowly avoiding the defensive counterattack caused by this spying.
Since the person who used psionic energy didn't cover up his whereabouts at all, or he didn't know how to hide his whereabouts, Leo easily discovered that this mysterious strong man who could use psionic energy and was probably a wizard was in the castle.
The exact location, and this location is the Silver Moon Tower in the center of the entire Silver Moon Valley.
"Is this the main reason why he asked me to come?" Leo looked up slightly and looked at the top of the Silver Moon Tower where a large amount of moonlight gathered and emitted silver-blue light, and he couldn't help but think in his heart.
Just when Leo suspected that the purpose of the old man's invitation to him was for the Silver Moon Tower, in the penultimate room at the top of the Silver Moon Tower, a wise-looking old man wearing ancient robes looked up at the glass-covered ceiling above his head.
Silver moon gemstone ball suspended above.
Behind him, a middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo and dressed very gentlemanly held a crystal ball-shaped object in his hand. From time to time, he emitted bursts of psychic energy waves driven by him, and the energy field contained in the tower acted as a result.
Next, let it turn into waves of psychic energy, oscillating back and forth through the psychic energy tide, and everything scanned is fed back into the crystal ball.
"Haven't you found it yet?" The old man looked away from the silver moon gemstone ball, turned to look at the middle-aged man's movements, and asked in a deep voice.
"No, he probably saw that the situation was not good and hid." The middle-aged man shook his head, stopped stimulating the power in the crystal ball, put it back on the bookshelf nearby, and said: "The day to open the door is coming soon.
I’m afraid there will be more and more people like this.”
The old man smiled and said: "The more people, the better. They can be used as chess pieces for us to explore the road. Otherwise, why would we spread the news?"
"Wrong, it's not us, it's just you." The middle-aged man had no intention of hanging out with the old man, so he took it out and said, "The boss has already said that the recent situation is very chaotic, and he doesn't want your incident to cause any harm to him.
Influence."
The old man quickly defended himself and said: "My affairs are not left to the boss..."
"It has already affected the boss." The middle-aged man raised his hand to stop the old man's excuse and said: "The death of the president of the Skull and Bones Society can definitely be caused by people from the dark world. You asked the president of the Skull and Bones Society to collect the three books of Ian for you.
The book has been taken away, and the boss suspects that is the reason. In addition, such a powerful man from the dark world will come to Miria City at this time, why do you think he is here?"
"Damn it!" the old man cursed. He didn't know whether he was cursing because he wanted to influence his boss, or because he was upset about the three lost ancient wizard's notebooks.
"I'm here to convey the boss's words," the middle-aged man said unceremoniously: "The boss is worried that you will end up like other people in the dark world this time, so I hope you will do what you need to do before taking action.
After finishing the work, such as the magic steam engine that the boss needs most, he doesn’t want to get a defective product.”
The old man said quite confidently: "You tell the boss that the design of the thing has been completed. He only needs to get the Fire Moon Stone to assemble and test it."
"That's good." After getting the news he wanted, the middle-aged man turned around and prepared to leave.
The old man suddenly stopped the other party and said: "Aren't you really curious about the knowledge there? You must know that there are said to be the mysteries of the gods there. Isn't the purpose of our wizards' existence to unlock the mysteries of the gods?"
"
The middle-aged man turned around and looked at the old man, and said: "What about the gods? In this world dominated by humans, even the gods can only hide in the black forest. Those ancient wizards who target the gods
They disappeared without a trace. Even if you obtained the secrets of the gods and the inheritance of the ancient wizards, so what? Can you still reverse the process of this world and make everything return to that barbaric and ignorant era?
"What's more..." As he spoke, the middle-aged man pointed to the silver-moon gemstone ball above his head and said, "It's still unknown whether this thing is useful. Wait until you come out of there alive before you tell me anything about the secrets of the gods.
!”
After saying that, he seemed unwilling to stay here for another minute. He quickly walked down the hanging ladder, opened a wooden door, and walked out of the tower.
The old man stood there quietly, seeming to be recalling what the middle-aged man said just now. The expression on his face kept changing. Finally, he raised his head to look at the gem ball emitting silver-blue light above his head, and said to himself:
"No, it must be useful, it must be used as a guidepost for entry and exit!"
In the Diana Garden of the castle, as the person who triggered the conversation on the Silver Moon Tower, Leo's main focus at the moment was not focused on these mysterious things at all.
After already knowing that Silver Moon Castle was full of traps for people like him, he no longer rashly released the spiritual net, nor did he proactively explore the surrounding situation. Instead, he completely placed himself at an ordinary banquet.
As a participant, enjoy all kinds of food and wine provided at this banquet.
The reason why these foods are prepared at such banquets is mostly just to decorate the atmosphere, because few guests will enjoy the food in such an environment.
Most of them hold a glass of wine in their hands and talk to each other. Few people hold food in their hands. Even those who are hungry will only eat a little snack and pay attention to those passing by on the table.
Meat and seafood are carefully cooked without being touched.
However, at today's banquet, there was an outlier like Leo. He would taste a little of every food on the table, and then he would focus on a certain food that would help him store energy without any scruples.
Eat in big mouthfuls until all the food is gone.
The manor housekeeper who was responsible for coordinating and organizing this banquet encountered a shortage of food for the first time. In order to make up for the shortage, he had to bring in some less tasty but good-looking food from other places to fill the gap on the table.
loopholes.
Although people at the banquet tried their best not to watch Leo eat, but for some reason, the way Leo ate really aroused people's appetite, and most of the men and women present wanted to keep their figure in line with
They all chose to go to the banquet on an empty stomach when matching their clothes. However, these people were seduced by Leo's eating behavior, and none of them had the intention to talk.
At first, it was only one or two people who secretly picked up some food on the table and tasted it, but then more and more people came to the table, from tasting in secret to eating without restraint.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet in the garden changed. Some people even took off their tight clothes in order to release their restrained bellies, losing the elegance they had just now.
Seeing that the originally good banquet was ruined into what it is now, the butler in charge of the banquet in this area felt like crying, but he couldn't say anything and could only keep replenishing the food to meet the needs of the guests.
After killing a spider crab from the Silver Moon Sea, Leo picked up the napkin on the table and wiped the food around his mouth. He looked around and couldn't help but smile.
When he was eating just now, Leo deliberately extracted the delicious feeling after eating through the accessory brain system, and then used spiritualism in reverse, not to absorb information from outside spirits, but to convey the food to him like a radio station.
The delicious spiritual information spreads around in the form of spiritual waves, causing spiritual resonance among the people around, thereby arousing everyone's appetite.
Looking at it now, the effect is undoubtedly far beyond expectations. No one can resist the strong physical feeling, but the disadvantage is not without it. That is, people who have eaten enough can have stronger resistance to this kind of appetite psychic spirit.
, just like this little woman beside me, Emily.
Emily, who was supposed to separate from Leo after arriving at the banquet venue to find a suitable target for herself, ended up being unable to take the step of becoming the mistress of a powerful man because of her shyness, timidity and low self-esteem, so she shrank next to Leo, like
Handing him the plate like a servant.
When Leo was inspired by the psychic wave just now and tried to combine psychic skills and create his own techniques for using psychic powers, Emily, who was closest to Leo, was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
It's just that she didn't show an uncontrollable appetite like others. Instead, when her appetite was triggered, she ate a little and controlled her physiological reaction to prevent herself from doing inappropriate things during the banquet.
As the instigator of these abnormal situations, Leo has no interest in staying where he is and waiting for people to come and cause trouble.
I saw him pouring a full glass of Porto gold wine, holding the wine glass himself, and letting Emily hold a plate of American golden barbecue, then moved to the small courtyard on the side of Diana's garden and found a decent place.
It's quiet and you can sit down at the small pavilion where you can see the Moon Lake in front of you.
"You came here tonight for nothing." Leo said to Emily, who was sitting opposite.
"It doesn't matter, it's enough to be able to attend the banquet." Emily said with a cheerful smile: "I will tell my colleagues in the flower shop about tonight's events tomorrow, I'm afraid they won't believe it yet."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought of the gentlemen and ladies who were still eating at the banquet.
"Do you still want to meet the nobles? I have a suitable person to introduce to you." Leo suddenly made a suggestion, and he couldn't help but think of Baron Maupassant.
"No!" Emily shook her head and said with a smile: "I am not a mistress, I should just be a flower shop clerk!"
Leo took a sip of wine, sat quietly for a while, and then asked, "Do you know much about flowers?"
"Of course I understand." Seeing Leo mention something that she was interested in, Emily immediately became excited, looked around, and then asked Leo to point out any flowers in the garden, and she could tell them quickly.
Types of flowers, how to match them, what the language of flowers is, etc.
Just as Emily was excitedly talking about everything related to flowers, Leo suddenly said: "I will contribute the capital and you will contribute the effort. Let's open a flower shop together. Are you interested?"
"Ah!" Emily seemed to be frozen for a moment, and was speechless for a long time.
Leo repeated what he just said.
This time Emily recovered from the surprise and covered her mouth. She didn't know what to say, and finally uttered a sentence: "Do you want me to be your mistress?"
Leo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.
"Ha ha!"
At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the bushes, and then I saw a red-haired girl wearing a hollow twig mask and a black lace body-shaping skirt walking out from behind the bushes, as if she was familiar, and walked to the small pavilion.
, sat next to Emily.
Then, when Emily reacted, the red-haired woman hugged her in her arms, kissed her hard on the lips, and then said: "This guy is not the kind of person who understands taste. He can't possibly need it."
Chapter completed!
