The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Leo's proposal, Annie was only taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood his thoughts, and began to think seriously.

"What about the accusation?" Annie asked while thinking.

"The Villen Continental Council has been suspended, and it is still unknown whether the next meeting can be held." Leo said calmly: "And we are just starting, and there is actually no way to intervene in the follow-up matters, all of which are controlled by the Medical Association and the Kingdom of England. It shouldn't matter if Nelson and the others stay here."

Annie nodded when she heard the words, and agreed with Leo's statement. The changes in the situation these days also made her feel a little powerless, which had completely exceeded her initial expectations. It would be difficult for her to take care of Nelson and the others if they stayed here. Sending them away would be the best choice.

"Nelson and Catherine shouldn't have any problems," Annie thought for a while, and said, "Although Nelson is also a member of the British army, he is a military doctor after all, and the ownership belongs to the military and the medical school. You only need to ask the medical school to issue a medical certificate." A transfer order can transfer him back to the Kingdom of England. As for Catherine, although she is an orphan in the cage city, her reputation has surpassed her status, so she can ignore some political issues, and the medical school will also issue a transfer order. The invitation letter can solve it. But Jason may have some troubles. He is not from the medical school. He is a sergeant of the British Army like you. If he wants to return to the Kingdom of England, he needs the approval of the military. Others Can't interfere."

Leo pondered for a moment and said, "What if I go back to the Kingdom of England as a bodyguard?"

"The identity of the bodyguard?" Annie didn't understand what Leo meant for a while.

Leo explained: "Didn't Nelson and Catherine write a first aid manual in the field? You can try to get the Medical Association in the Kingdom of England to issue an invitation letter to invite Nelson and Catherine to return to China to teach the first aid methods in this manual. Nelson and Catherine On the grounds that the road is not safe, we can ask for a few sergeants to be responsible for their safety, so that Jason can return to the Kingdom of England in a legitimate way."

"Hmm!" Annie thought for a while after listening to Leo's proposal, nodded and said, "This method is good, but it's better to tell Wayne Thomas, as the ambassador of the Kingdom of England in Miria City , both the invitation letter and the transfer order need to be signed by him."

Leo said: "Then this matter will trouble you."

"Me?" Annie froze for a moment, then said with a smile, "Why me?"

"I'm not used to dealing with those politicians, and my status is much worse than that of the ambassador. Talking about these things will be suppressed. Your status is more appropriate." Leo explained After a while, he took out two wizard potions from his bosom, stuffed them in Annie's hands, and said, "I won't let you do it for nothing, just treat these two healing potions as my reward!"

"I thought you were lucky enough to find the healing potion that the herbalist used to collect. It turned out that's not the case at all. You really have mastered how to make healing potions!" Annie looked at the two wizard potions in her hand, and then He looked at Leo in disbelief, and said, "Do you know how much manpower and material resources the medical school spent in researching this medicine? It's only been a few days, and you have already learned how to make medicine? Old man God, if those old men in the academy find out, they will definitely go crazy with jealousy."

"Don't you know that I made the potions I gave you before?" Leo looked at Annie with some puzzlement, and said, "Didn't Adeline say that? She saw me make it with her own eyes, and And help me pick herbs."

"That damn girl didn't say something so important?" Annie cursed through gritted teeth, and then said to Leo: "Leave this matter to me! But you have to make a complete treatment in front of me Potion."

"No problem." Leo nodded in agreement.

After that, Leo talked with Nelson and the others for a while, and told them what they had just discussed with Annie.

Nelson and Catherine didn't object after hearing it. They knew very well that with their abilities, it would be difficult to help Leo in the current situation, but Jason was unwilling to leave. He believed that his current abilities could already I helped Leo, and staying is useful to Leo.

However, when Leo subdued him easily with one hand, he realized that he was not as powerful as he thought, and finally agreed to Leo's request, and swore to Leo that the next time he saw him, he would definitely No more delays.

When it was almost noon, Leo left the Stone Palace alone. Just as he walked through the square and was about to stop a carriage to go to the Embassy of the Kingdom of England, a very common carriage got out of the traffic and stopped at Leo's side.

"Come up!" Baron de Maupassant stuck his head out of the car window and motioned to Leo.

Leo hesitated for a moment, but he still boarded the carriage and sat opposite Baron de Maupassant.

The carriage started slowly, and soon, under the control of a skilled coachman, it got mixed into the traffic and headed towards the American embassy district.

After the carriage drove for a certain distance, Baron de Maupassant took out a document bag from the briefcase beside him, handed it to Leo, and said: "This is the travel list of the head of the First Legion today. A map of the barracks and some things to watch out for."

Leo didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at Baron de Maupassant and asked, "What do you mean?"

Seeing that Leo didn't take it, Baron de Maupassant showed a trace of displeasure on his face, he casually threw the file bag on the seat beside Leo, and said, "What do you think it means? Do you really want to listen to me?" Their proposal, to assassinate Jacques Huppert in public?"

Leo said calmly: "Didn't your new allies Ljungberg and Rupert tell you that I can kill the target more than a thousand meters away?" He said, seeing the surprised expression on Baron de Maupassant's face, He smiled and said, "It seems that your newly established alliance relationship is not very good!"

Hearing Leo's provocative words, Baron de Maupassant did not show any abnormal expression, he just leaned over with a cold face, ready to pick up the file bag thrown beside Leo.

However, Leo reached out to stop him, picked up the file bag, and said, "Although you were wrong about my ability, you didn't guess wrong about my thoughts. I really don't plan to assassinate the leader of the Jacques Legion tomorrow." , I am going to start tonight."

"You don't trust them." Baron de Maupassant said in a deep voice.

"There is no trust, this is just a deal for me, I get what they want from them, and then give them what they want." Leo said indifferently, then stared at Baron de Maupassant, said : "Don't you also distrust those two people? Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here face to face with me."

"If it wasn't for the Duke of Devon, there would be no possibility for us to cooperate." Baron de Maupassant seemed to be having a bad time these days and needed someone to talk to, and Leo, who had nothing to do with anyone, seemed to be the most suitable candidate.

Leo could feel the role he was playing now, and he didn't hate listening to Baron de Maupassant's nagging and complaining. From these complaints, he could also get some useful materials and information. So he asked cooperatively: "I'm not surprised that you can't cooperate with Rupert Fitz, but why is Ljungberg also hostile? I remember that Mr. Rembrandt's evaluation of him is a pure Patriots, logically, you should be natural allies, right?"

"You also said that he is a pure patriot." Baron de Maupassant sneered, "He can give up everything except this country. In his eyes, we are all just pawns for him to maintain the integrity of this country. If not Duke Dewen's way of doing things and his behavior are contrary to his ideas. He thinks that Duke Dewen will bring a devastating disaster to the country after he becomes emperor, and maybe he is now allied with Duke Dewen."

Leo said again: "It seems that you are very used to working with Rupert?"

Baron de Maupassant said with a look of disgust: "I am used to working with a profiteer who is always calculating his allies and is ready to sell his master for profit. Am I crazy?"

Leo gloated and said, "I didn't have the slightest interest in the affairs of your French Empire, but after seeing your completely trustless anti-Duke alliance, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do." To what extent."

"You should think more about your own affairs!" Baron de Maupassant glared at Leo angrily, his expression turned serious, and said, "Jacques Huppert is mediocre and incompetent. If it wasn't for him The patriarch of the Pell family, maybe he can't even be a legion commander, but he has one advantage, he has two very good sons. One of these two sons serves as the chief of staff under the command of Duke Devin, and the other One became the head of the Ninth Legion of the Empire."

"Ninth Legion?" Leo was stunned when he heard the impressive name, and then remembered that the Ninth Legion happened to be one of the three army legions that besieged Venaya Port.

"It seems that you have also thought of it." Baron Maupassant sneered: "The person in charge of the encirclement of Venaya Port is the head of the Ninth Army, and the person in charge of negotiating with the Kingdom of England is the chief of staff of the Duke of Dewen. You, a soldier of the Kingdom of England, killed Jacques Huppert, and if you spread the word to the eastern continent, what will happen? You must know that Jacques Hupper and his two sons have a good relationship in the French Empire. It’s famous, I can imagine how those two boys will feel after receiving the news, but I don’t know if they will do something out of the ordinary because they lose their minds!”

"So that's it!" Leo showed a dazed look, then looked at Baron Maupassant with some puzzlement, and asked: "If you stand in your position, the Kingdom of England has been completely dragged into this vortex, isn't it? Is it very good? At least it can help you share a lot of pressure from Duke Devin."

"Will you attract a pack of wolves in order to drive away a tiger?" Baron de Maupassant gave Leo a white look and asked back.

Leo didn't say anything more, opened the folder, and carefully looked at the information inside.

The contents of the materials were not very large, and he finished reading them in less than three minutes. After reading them, he put the materials back into the file bag and handed them back to Baron de Maupassant.

"What are you going to do?" Baron de Maupassant asked curiously.

Leo asked with some doubts: "Didn't you say that Jacques Huppert is mediocre and incompetent? Why are there so many praises for his ability in the materials?"

"The mediocrity and incompetence I'm talking about is military and management. Two years ago, he proposed to the parliament that the country spend a lot of money to form a knight order that has been eliminated for hundreds of years in today's industrial age. How can you treat such a person?" What kind of evaluation." Baron de Maupassant mentioned the head of the First Legion with disdain on his face, but then she changed the subject and said: "However, in terms of his personal ability and integrity, I admire him very much, and I have to admit that he Perhaps he is the only person in this world who still abides by the ancient knightly rules. And you must not have the idea of ​​fighting with him. The cross-sword sword technique created by the ancestors of the Huppert family is the source of all cross-sword sword techniques in the world today. And he has practiced this set of cross-sword swordsmanship to the strongest dual-wielding stage. Even the chief swordsman who specializes in swordsmanship in the Orthodox Holy See thinks that it is impossible for him to pass under the hands of Jacques Huppert who is dual-wielding cross-swords. Ten rounds."

"Cross sword swordsmanship?" Leo thought of something, and asked in a deep voice: "Does the cross swords used by the knights of the Orthodox Church also come from the cross swords swordsmanship of the Pell family?"

Baron de Maupassant nodded and said, "Of course, it's just that the Holy See has improved a lot on this set of sword skills."

At this moment, the figure of the knight in the phantom of the twins appeared in Leo's mind, because the cross sword swordsmanship created by that knight is the source of the Orthodox Holy See cross swords, and this set of cross swords is also the only set of dual-wielding cross swords swordsmanship, So it seems that this Huppert family is likely to be a branch of the knight's family.

For Leo, the cross-sword swordsmanship regarded as the most deterrent by Baron de Maupassant has become his greatest advantage. He is very clear about the flaws of this set of cross-swords swordsmanship. With these flaws, he can easily defeat those who master this Set of crossed swords fencing people.

Although hundreds of years have passed, the Huppert family must have made some improvements to the cross-sword swordsmanship and repaired some flaws, but these improvements must have focused on the one-handed cross-sword swordsmanship. Because dual-wielding cross-sword swordsmanship is difficult to practice, and it is already very difficult to use it proficiently after practicing. It is almost impossible to modify this set of swordsmanship with personal strength, so dual-wielding cross-sword There is a high possibility that the flaws in swordsmanship still exist.

Thinking of this, Leo came up with a way to kill the legion commander in a fair manner, so he asked Baron de Maupassant: "Just now you said that Jacques Huppert is still abiding by the ancient knight rules, right? "

Baron Maupassant didn't understand why Leo asked this question, but he still replied: "Yes, this is a well-known thing in the French Empire."

Leo smiled and said, "Very good! Help me make a knight battle card!"
