After Solander left, Leo said to the real estate agent: "We are very satisfied with this manor. Show me the contract. If there are no problems, sign it now."

"Sign now?" The real estate agent was stunned and asked.

He has been a real estate agent for many years and has handled hundreds of properties, but he has never met a person who decided to sign a contract just after looking at the house briefly, which also made him completely unprepared.

"Is there any problem?" Leo asked.

"No, there's no problem!" The real estate agent shook his head quickly, and then said hesitantly: "The contracts are all in the company. Please go back to the company with me to sign them."

"It's not necessary. Go and get the contract! Also bring the information of the best construction company in Beiruk City. This villa needs to be renovated before it can be lived in."

After hearing Leo's request, the real estate agent dared to be negligent. He quickly apologized, hurriedly walked out of the basement, asked the coachman to unload a trailer horse, and then quickly left the manor on horseback, heading towards

Rush over to the nearest branch of the company.

"Do you think she can find anything?" After the real estate agent left, Sylvia suddenly spoke and asked.

Although this inquiry was meaningless, Leo could hear the point in the words and said: "You shouldn't have found anything. Obviously, the people who investigated the disappearance case should have found something, and then chose to hide it and put everything here

Everything questionable has been taken away, and it is natural that things like house plans cannot be let go. If she looks for it, she will either find nothing or find a modified plan."

After saying that, Leo gestured to Sylvia, then walked to the center of the basement, then squatted down and stretched out his hands to dig out the soil on the ground, and quickly dug down, about half a person's height.

Finally he touched something hard.

Then, he peeled off the floating soil on the hard objects, dragged out the things buried inside, threw them out, then jumped up, used the power of the abyss serpent to disperse the soil on his body, and then joined Sylvia

Carefully look at the objects in front of you.

I saw that this object was boxy and looked like a statue carved from stone. However, the content of the carving was incomprehensible, as if something was entangled with each other.

It will inexplicably produce an extremely strong disgust.

"Is it still alive?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice.

Although this thing looks very much like a stone statue, both Leo and Sylvia can clearly sense that this thing is formed by squeezing some kind of creature or monster together, but the only thing that is not sure is whether this thing is still there.

alive.

Leo looked at it and said, "It should still be alive, but it may require certain conditions to be met in order to wake up."

"It's become like this, are you still alive?" Sylvia walked over in surprise, knocked on the square, and touched the relief surface, feeling the obvious fossil touch on the surface, and asked doubtfully

road.

"Some things will fall into a state of suspended animation for some reasons. When suspended, they will be similar to stones. They will not wake up until a certain opportunity is triggered, and their state of suspended animation can maintain their lives for a long time." Leo was very happy.

Quickly give an explanation. The reason why he is so sure is simply because he has seen many creatures in the universe that continue their lives through suspended animation. The most powerful one is a plant named Rudy, which survived a certain planet disaster.

It fakes death to protect itself. Tens of millions of years later, when the planet recovers, it will automatically break away from the state of suspended animation and resurrect.

Although Leo still doesn't know what kind of creature the cube in front of him is, he can tell from some subtle traces that this creature is in a state of suspended animation.

"Does the power in the manor and villa come from it?" Although Sylvia does not have the monocle worn by Solander, she can still easily discover the power that pervades the villa and manor through her own perception.

That unknown energy.

"Yes and no." Leo gave a vague answer, and when Sylvia asked further, he added: "The power generated is because this manor is a hidden altar, and this thing is only for the altar ceremony.

It's just a part. If I guessed correctly, there should be similar things and small altars in four different corners around it."

"Did the Monte family bury it?" Sylvia asked.

Leo nodded, and then said: "However, the person who was responsible for investigating the disappearance of the Monte family may also have a problem. All the bones and other abnormal things in the basement were dug up, but this core thing was left behind.

, if I didn’t stay here on purpose, I really can’t think of any other explanation.”

"It seems that this manor is a trouble." Sylvia sighed slightly, but when she said these words, the expression on her face looked very relaxed and interested, without any feeling of trouble.

.

"It doesn't matter if you have trouble. Such troubles are often accompanied by a lot of secret knowledge. This is exactly what we need most." As Leo spoke, he threw the things back into the pit, filled it back with soil, and said

: "This should be an evil sect. Since it can influence the city's top law enforcement officials, this sect should have a good foundation. I hope they can provide some good things by then."

While Leo was burying things, Sylvia walked back and forth in the basement a few times and asked doubtfully: "Is this suitable for me to be promoted? I feel that besides having some abnormal power, it seems to be the same as other places.

There is no difference."

Leo explained briefly and said: "Of course not now. After I complete the arrangement of the rune array, this place should be transformed into an abyss-like environment, which will be of great help to your bloodline promotion."

After burying the things back, Leo and Sylvia returned to the villa above. Then they walked around the villa and heard the sound of horse hooves outside. Then they walked out and saw a house agent in messy clothes behind him.

Carrying a leather bag, he jumped off the horse.

After taking over the contract from the real estate agent, Leo read it carefully and quickly found several trap clauses. He asked the real estate agent to modify them on the spot. After reading it again, he found no problems and signed the contract.

, and then wrote a gold check from the Commonwealth Bank.

It is precisely because of this gold checkbook that the real estate agent is so sure that Leo and Sylvia are able to buy the manor, because only those who have a very large amount of deposits and valuables in the Federal Bank are eligible to become members of the Federal Bank.

Gold members, in addition to membership badges and other items that prove their identity, gold checks are also another item that proves their identity, and they are more well-known than badges.

Although Leo had already made preparations before coming and put some valuables such as gold and jewelry into the storage space, the size of the storage space was limited after all, and two-thirds of the items were still stored in Leo's storage space.

Various potions were made as well as some valuable rare items, books, etc., so there were not many valuables placed in the storage space.

Those valuables were not enough for Leo to become a gold member of the Federal Bank, nor enough to buy this manor, but Leo and Sylvia were lucky enough to encounter a mine auction in a certain country on their way to the Otter Federation.

, and there happened to be a mine in the auction that they had passed through before.

The previous owner of the mine thought that all the gold mines there had been dug out and the remaining ore was not worth the effort to dig, so he put the mine up for sale at an auction house.

However, both Leo and Sylvia were able to easily discover that the gold mine in that mine actually had two complete veins, which were valuable, so they bought the mine at a very low price and spent a lot of money.

In two days, under their guidance, they found the location and reserves of the two veins with a local exploration company, which in turn increased the value of the mine tens of thousands of times overnight.

The two of them did not plan to stay there and become mine owners. Instead, they directly mortgaged the entire mine to a mining company affiliated with Otter Federal Bank, thereby obtaining a huge sum of money, noble status, and gold membership of Otter Federal Bank.

identity.

When they left, the former owner of the mine seemed to want to cause trouble for them, but the two of them took action to solve it. This also made some people who received the news and wanted to attack the two of them restrained their thoughts.

Let the next trip go smoothly for both of them.

The real estate brokerage company is also a subsidiary of the Commonwealth Bank. He will be specially assigned to provide services to Leo and Sylvia, and can modify the terms of the contract without notifying the company. It can be seen that his identity is also in the real estate company.

Not low, obviously he also knew everything about Leo and Sylvia, so after signing the contract and completing the transaction, the construction companies he took out from his wallet were all trustworthy construction companies and would not make the clients who hired them feel uncomfortable.

Any displeasure.

Sylvia took the documents of the construction company and read them carefully twice. She did not have Leo's language talent, and she still had some difficulty in reading and writing. She needed to read the information twice before she could fully understand it.

Condition.

The real estate agent did not rush and waited patiently. It was not until Sylvia selected a company that he took the documents and said that he would notify people from the construction company as soon as possible to come and discuss the villa and manor with Leo.

Renovation plan.

After that, the two left the manor and returned to the hotel where they lived during this period. They asked the housekeeper arranged by the hotel to find all the newspapers and information about the Monte family and the disappearance of the Monte family.

Although they already knew the details about the disappearance of the Monte family from Solander, they did not completely believe Solander's words. There were some things that they still needed to look for on their own to find clues.

Because both of them were VIPs of the highest level, the hotel was very attentive to their requests. Not long after making the request, all the newspapers that had reported on the disappearance of the Monte family were delivered to their rooms.

, information about the Monte family was also sent over in the next few hours.

The hotel was not surprised as to why the two paid so much attention to the affairs of the Monte family, because long before the two returned to the hotel, the hotel had already received news that the two had bought the manor left by the Monte family.

And they were preparing for renovation, so they just regarded the two of them collecting information about the Monte family as a normal behavior.

Although the information collected by the hotel did not clearly record anything related to supernatural things, Sylvia, who is particularly sensitive to intelligence information, still found some interesting contents from these seemingly ordinary information.

For example, if we count the Monte family from the beginning, there should be three families. These three families are all pioneer families in the New World that have appeared in the past hundred years. They have always had a good relationship with each other. Later, the three families grew stronger and made a fortune.

They decided to find a suitable place to live, and the Ott Federation, which had a relatively stable political situation and no conflicts with surrounding countries, became their first choice.

But for some unknown reason, all three families were infected by the plague, and family members died one after another. In the end, there were less than forty remaining members of the three families. Such a small number of people could not support the continuation of the three families separately, so the three families

They merged into one and formed the current Monte family.

I don’t know if it was because of the original plague, or because something changed after the three families merged into one. In short, the members of the Monte family were in very good health afterwards, so good that there has never been a Monte family in so many years.

of members have fallen ill.

Obviously, this thing that is regarded by the outside world as good luck for the Monte family has absolutely nothing to do with good luck in Sylvia's eyes. In her opinion, the plague that year was more like some kind of special medicine. The use of

People who take this medicine will die as if seriously ill, or their life essence will be changed.

Among these materials was a family portrait of the Monte family taken decades ago. There was nothing unusual about this family portrait, but the careful Sylvia still discovered that everyone in the family portrait had eye problems. After Leo

Using the microscopic ability of spiritual vision to check, it was found that none of these people's eyes had pupils.

If this photo is not a forgery, then the people of the Monte family must be no different from normal people in normal times, but at the moment the photo was taken, some physiological characteristics were revealed for some unknown reason, but these characteristics are too secretive

, unless you have the ability of psychic vision, it is difficult to tell something is wrong from a relatively blurry old photo.

In addition, the two of them also saw from some information in the newspaper that the investigation into the disappearance of the Monte family would be hastily concluded and quickly defined as an unsolved case. The case documents would be stored in the archives. This was due to pressure from a large force. Therefore,
Chapter completed!
