The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The Bloody Countess obviously hadn't dealt with someone who spoke so directly like Leo. She was stunned for a long time before she returned to normal. Mr. Ou, you become friends and do things that are beneficial to each other."

Seeing that the other party still had such a formulaic discourse, Leo sighed helplessly, and then said straight to the point: "The reason you came to me is because of what I did in that collapsed apartment building before. Right?"

At this moment, the Bloody Countess felt aggrieved. All the speeches she had prepared were blocked in her chest because of Leo's opening. This made her feel for the first time whether there was something wrong with the words she had mastered before, because now she She has completely lost control over the direction of the conversation, and can only react passively to Leo's words, as if she doesn't know what to say now, and can only nod in recognition of Leo's inference.

"I'm not interested in those victims. I'm not a moralist or a paladin. I won't investigate some things and cause some troubles because of sympathy, so you don't have to worry about anything. As for your beliefs, what do you blood race want to do? I'm not even interested." Leo very straightforwardly revealed all the shady things and put them on the bright side, saying: "I came to Moonlight City mainly to participate in last night's auction, to buy something, and I have already bought it, and the main purpose of coming here has also been fulfilled. In the afternoon, I will be invited to visit the White Swan Castle and study the mysteries of the foundation of the White Swan Castle to see if I can find out the secrets. However, no matter whether I can find The secrets in it, I will leave tomorrow, I will not pay attention to anything that happened in your Moonlight City, even if Moonlight City is destroyed after I leave, I will not look back, now, Your Excellency the Countess, do you understand?"

After listening to Leo's words, the Bloody Countess sat across from her in a daze, not knowing what to say or how to react. Her previous experience was useless when facing Leo's direct and reckless way of talking.

She didn't know if she should believe Leo's words. If what Leo said was true and he was not interested in what happened to Moonlight City and the Blood Race, then naturally it would be the best, but if these words were false, then they They need to face a tower wizard with unknown strength and a core member of the witch group. This is the last thing they want to see, and it may affect the success or failure of the plan.

For this reason, the Bloody Countess also began to analyze Leo's words word by word, wanting to follow up on her own abilities, to see if she could analyze Leo's duplicity.

But before she could figure out why, she was a little terrified by a small part of Leo's words that was almost ignored, and couldn't help feeling worried, and confirmed to Leo: "Leo Mr. Ou, you just said my belief..."

"The god of clever words." Leo didn't go around in circles, and said directly.

The Bloody Countess took a breath, because the followers of the God of Whispering Words was definitely her big secret, except for a few insiders in the clan, no one else would know about it, because if this matter got out, It is an extremely dangerous thing for the Kui Fan family and her.

Thinking of this, the Bloody Countess couldn't help feeling an urge to get rid of Leo and keep the matter hidden.

"Do you want to kill me in order to hide the secret of your belief in the God of Whispering Words?" Just before the Bloody Countess could make any move, Leo's voice penetrated into her ears again, "Are you sure you can kill me?" Me, or make things worse?"

The Bloody Countess suddenly had the illusion that she was being seen through by the other party from the inside to the outside. This feeling of being suppressed in all directions made her extremely uncomfortable.

"I'll say it again, I don't like to cause trouble, as long as there is no trouble to provoke me." Leo said again, emphasizing his tone.

The bloody baroness took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and then asked with a cold face: "Since your Excellency has repeatedly emphasized that you don't want to cause trouble, why did you go to that abandoned factory again? There are werewolves in Moonlight City. Don't tell me you're going for a walk."

Leo responded simply: "I have a deal with Beruwuf, but the deal has been completed, and now I have nothing to do with the werewolf."

The Bloody Lady had no way to question or refute Leo's words, because she didn't know what deal Leo had with Beruwuf, so she could only use a strong tone and say something without any threat, "I hope Mr. Leo We can do what we say, and we don't want any misunderstandings with the Witch Squad because of your Excellency."

Leo didn't respond, just smiled.

The carriage fell into an embarrassing silence. The Bloody Countess, who couldn't stand the atmosphere, put on a big hat covering her head, stopped the carriage, went down alone, and then ordered the driver to take Leo to the After reaching the destination, she turned around to pick her up again, and her hurried attitude was like avoiding some horrible monster again.

After the bloody baroness left, Leo sat back on the chair and carefully recalled the behavior and words of the bloody baroness just now. He could feel the temptation from the bloody baroness, but this roundabout temptation was obviously rejected. Leo's straightforward words disrupted the rhythm, making the bloody baroness always in an abnormal state.

Leo doesn't know whether his direct and true statement can be accepted by the blood race, but he has already expressed his attitude. If the blood race still doesn't believe it, then he has nothing to do. As long as the blood race doesn't take the initiative to trouble him, he There shouldn't be any conflicts with the blood race. After these two days, when he leaves Moonlight City, he will truly leave this vortex with dark currents.

Perhaps it was because the carriage of the Bloody Countess had a special mark on it. The carriage was driving very fast on the street, and other carriages on the road would actively avoid this carriage, which made Leo arrive at Mister Street faster than expected. a lot.

Mister Street is one of the few streets named after people in Moonlight City. This street is mainly to commemorate the planner of Moonlight City, Kevin Mister. Now the main urban area of ​​Moonlight City is built and planned, all of which are given to urban planning. Designed by the designer, at the entrances at both ends of Mist Street, two statues of Kevin Mister Station and Sit were erected respectively.

In addition, Mist Street was originally an architect office street. Because of the strong support of the Quivan family, a school of architecture was opened on Mist Street, which is also the best school of architecture in the Maris Kingdom. Most of the graduated architects will set up offices on this street and several surrounding streets, or work in other people's offices, making this place a mecca for architects in Minsk mainland for a period of time.

However, due to the increase in the population of Moonlight City and the city’s transformation, Mist Street is no longer suitable for housing the School of Architecture, so the municipal authorities moved the Mist School of Architecture to the outskirts of the city, and those studios were also moved there, Mister Street That layer of brilliance faded away, and it became an ordinary commercial street.

The merchants on this street are almost all individual workshop-style merchants. The upstairs is the residence, and the downstairs is workshops and shops. All kinds of basic necessities can be bought here, so opening a bookstore on such a street, Not very eye-catching.

Collector's Bookstore is the name of the bookstore Leo was looking for, but after finding this bookstore, Leo took a second look at the name of the bookstore engraved on the notice board. Although there is Maris under the name, the text of the name is Golet, a lost language of the ancient Minsk continent, and the word collection in this language has two meanings, one is collection, and the other is It is protection, so it is not wrong to call this bookstore the Protector Bookstore.

"Protect knowledge?" Leo thought about the deep meaning of the library as a bookstore in his mind, then nodded approvingly, pushed the door and walked in.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the street outside, the bookstore is very quiet. This does not mean that there are no customers in the bookstore. On the contrary, there are many customers in the bookstore. Although it is not completely full, at least 70% of the customers are already there. There were people on the chairs, everyone ordered a cup of tea and some snacks, and then quietly read books in the bookstore. The overall atmosphere was very good.

After Leo came in, the waiter behind the counter at the door came up to ask Leo what service he needed.

"I'm looking for Miss Yilan." Leo said.

"Are you?" The waiter didn't tell Yilan immediately, but looked at Leo warily.

Leo introduced himself: "My name is Leo Dodd, and I'm on the same train as Miss Yilan..."

"Ah! It's Mr. Leo." Before Leo could finish speaking, the waiter showed a comprehension expression and said with a smile, "Please follow me."

After speaking, he led Leo upstairs, and the two soon reached the third floor. The waiter knocked on the only door facing the stairs, which was also the only door on the third floor.

The door opened a gap, a person carefully peeked out, saw the waiter and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Leo Dodd came to see Miss Yilan." The waiter stepped aside to reveal Leo Dodd behind him.

After seeing Leo Dodd, the man behind the door was stunned, and then looked at the waiter with some displeasure, as if he was blaming the waiter for bringing Leo upstairs.

But there were outsiders present, so he couldn't blame the waiter, so he could only say coldly: "I see, you can go down."

However, the waiter did not leave immediately, and still stood there.

"Anything else?" The person behind the door asked impatiently.

"The tea in the store is no longer enough and needs to be replenished," the waiter pouted and said, "Also, we haven't bought new books for a while, and customers have been asking if there are any new books. I heard that there was a batch of new books yesterday. Just arrived, I think we should go closer."

"Okay! Just do as you want." The man behind the door said impatiently.

"I want to do it too, but there is not enough money in the store." The waiter said dissatisfied.

"Is there not enough money?" The person behind the door was stunned, then closed the door casually, opened the door again after a while, handed out a cash check from a local bank, and said, "Is there anything else? It's all right Let's go!"

The waiter took the cash check, looked at the number on it, smiled with satisfaction, and skipped downstairs without the urging of the person behind the door.

When there were only two people left, the person behind the door still just opened the door a crack, looked at Leo through the crack, and said, "Hello, the old version of Ross Pfister from Collector's Bookstore."

"Hello, I'm Leo Dodd." Leo introduced himself without paying attention to the other party's faux pas.

"I heard Yilan mentioned you. Yilan is not here now, and she will be back in a while. You can wait here for a while." Rose First took out a metal watering can from behind the door and put it on He put it outside the door and said, "There is my homemade disinfectant in the watering can, please spray it on yourself."

Hearing the other party's request, Leo was stunned. Although from the point of view of behavior, this Ross Pfister seemed to be a clean freak, and it was still a serious one, but Leo could see from some details that The other party didn't seem to be a clean freak, and the most notable feature was that the other party didn't wear gloves.

Although he was suspicious, Leo still picked up the watering can on the ground and sprayed it on his body a few times.

A water vapor with a strong smell of medicine fell on his body, and Leo almost didn't need to analyze seriously, he was able to confirm from this special smell of medicine that it was not a disinfectant at all, but an insect repellent water.

Seeing that Leo sprayed the potion on his body, Rose Pfister behind the door relaxed a little, and then opened the door to the extent that one person could enter, and urged Leo to come in quickly.

As soon as Leo walked in, Rose Pfister couldn't wait to close the door behind him, and then quickly picked up some dust from the side of the door and sprinkled it on the door.

Ordinary people would only think that Rose Pfister was a weirdo when they saw the other party's actions, but Leo knew very well that the other party's actions should be a shamanistic expulsion ceremony, and the dust beside the door was human ashes.

This discovery also aroused Leo's curiosity. With this curiosity, Leo looked at the room on the third floor, and saw that the entire room on the third floor had been opened up and turned into a large room. In terms of facilities, this room should function as a living room and meeting room.

However, Leo's attention was not on the function of the room, but on the various furnishings all over the walls of the room, especially near the windows.

Although he is not an expert in the study of shamanism in the Mozambique continent, he has more knowledge and mysteries about shamanism than most experts.

It was also this knowledge that made it easy for him to recognize the weird ornaments scattered throughout the room, all of which were shaman exorcism amulets from different wilderness tribes. Mozambique tribes.
