The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

For the position of consultant that Marek mentioned, Leo never thought of refusing it at the beginning. The reason why he showed such a strong ability to analyze and organize data in front of Marek was that he wanted Marek to find more consultants in the future. He helped, and he was able to get more information from Marek.

However, Leo never thought that his performance was so good that Marek even invited him to be a consultant of his subordinate secret agent organization, which would give him more opportunities to get in touch with the secrets of the Silver Moon Lake Alliance. Learn more about the civilization here.

However, Leo still had some concerns in his heart, because he felt that Marek's invitation was a bit too hasty, and it didn't look like what a head of a spy organization's division should do.

After all, he and Marek only had three contacts at most, and their understanding was almost limited to names. Even if there was a Peter Alcott as the intermediate bridge, the relationship between them was almost non-existent.

But for a stranger like him, Marek actually wanted him to act as a consultant and let him have access to those confidential intelligence materials, which made people feel a little unreasonable.

"Could it be that in the civilization of this dream world, the spy organization itself is so absurd?" Leo couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, but then he shook his head and denied it. No matter how absurd the civilization, the spy organization will not change Its rigorous style.

"Or is it that he intends to use it and silence it?" Leo had another idea, but felt that this idea was even more absurd. After all, just as he doesn't know Marek's strength, Marek also doesn't know his own strength. Without knowing the opponent's strength, naturally he can't talk about things like silence in advance.

After thinking for a long time, Leo couldn't figure out why Marek suddenly asked him to serve as a consultant to the spy organization. Even after he recalled his contact with Marek, he found that there seemed to be some problems with Marek's attitude. Some are defenseless. Not only did he, a stranger, get in touch with important cases, but he was even allowed to watch the monitoring information about the Church of the Eye of Truth when he was in contact for the third time. Such behavior is completely unreasonable.

If Marek knew Peter's true identity, Leo could understand Marek's defenseless attitude towards him, because with the Alcott family as guarantee, even a stranger could get undefended. low trust.

But judging from all the signs, Marek didn't know Peter's true identity at all. He only regarded Peter as a knowledgeable pharmacist or scholar, and naturally there was no one from the Alcott family to guarantee this time. thing.

Seeing that Leo had been thinking about it for a long time without making a decision, Marek seemed a little impatient, so he urged: "Your Excellency Dodd, have you considered it?"

Unable to understand the doubts in his mind, Leo chose a straightforward method and asked Marek: "I am very happy to be invited by you, but I am very puzzled why you would invite such a stranger like me, Chief Marek. Is someone serving as a consultant for your subordinate intelligence department? According to what you mean, I must help you sort out and analyze those materials, so I have access to various secrets, how can you trust a stranger like me so much?"

"The ability you have demonstrated is naturally the main reason why I chose you as a consultant. As for the issue of trust..." Marek explained, but his words suddenly stopped, and there was a little doubt on his face. Obviously he was a little puzzled that he would trust Leo so much, but soon his expression returned to normal, and he said, "I just think you are trustworthy!"

Getting such an answer that sounds absurd, Leo couldn't help being stunned. Although it is a happy thing for people to trust, such an unreasonable expression of trust made him a little overwhelmed, and he didn't know what to do for a while. What kind of expression come.

Marek also felt that his explanation was a bit absurd, so he coughed twice to ease his embarrassment, and explained: "Although many people don't believe in intuition, I have experienced many dangers on the battlefield, and my intuition helped me every time." I have avoided danger, so I trust the judgment made by my intuition. I chose you as an advisor and let a stranger like you get in touch with those intelligence materials. It is not so much trusting you as trusting my intuition.”

"I agree to your invitation! I hope I can be worthy of your intuition." Although Marek's answer still made Leo feel absurd, but after careful analysis, he felt that accepting the position of consultant would do him more good than harm. So he didn't hesitate any longer, nodded and agreed to Marek's invitation, but he also put forward his own request: "However, I can only hold the position of consultant until the end of the abolition of the capital, and then I will leave the No. Go to the town of Seven Lakes, go to Silvermoon City."

"I agree with this." Seeing that Leo had agreed to the position of consultant, Marek seemed very happy, and couldn't wait for Leo to take up the position immediately, and said, "I'll have someone send the documents to you later." , you just need to sort out the suspicious places in it, mark them out, or list them out separately." Then, he paused again, and said to Leo with some seriousness: "In addition, you are responsible for the investigation of this murder case. Don't continue to participate, and you don't want to be affected by other things during this time period."

"Okay." Leo responded, then stood up and said, "There is nothing else, I will go back."

Marek nodded to indicate that Leo could go, but when Leo walked to the door, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to Leo: "Wait! Your Excellency Dodd, there is something I need to do. I want to ask."

"What's the matter?" Leo turned his head to look at Marek, and felt that Marek was a little abnormal emotionally.

"This matter is... just..." Marek suddenly became a little awkward, and didn't say a complete sentence for a long time, until Leo showed an impatient look, he said hesitantly: "This matter It's the maid in your family, I just want to ask, what's the name of the maid in your family? Is there a sister who looks like her in her family? "

Leo didn't expect Marek to ask such an inexplicable question after a bit of tweaking, which made him stunned, and replied casually: "I don't know her situation very well, if you want to know , I can ask her for you."

"If you don't know, don't bother." Marek coughed twice again in a concealed manner, and shook his head again, but when Leo turned around, he changed his focus and said, "You should ask for me! Don't be too deliberate, just ask casually."

Seeing Marek's behavior like a boy in his first love, Leo frowned slightly, nodded, turned and walked out of the office door, but when he was about to close the office door, he suddenly thought of something, His expression changed slightly, and he suddenly asked Marek who was sorting out the materials in the room: "Director Marek, why did you suddenly ask about the maid in my residence?"

Marek was stunned when he heard the question, and then said displeasedly: "This is my private matter. If Lord Dodd is not willing to ask for help, I will not..."

Before Marek finished speaking, Leo interrupted rudely: "The reason why you asked about her is that you think that maid is very similar to your first love, right?"

"Ah! How do you know?" Marek looked at Leo in surprise, and then his face turned red, as if he was ashamed that the secret in his heart had been exposed. When he recovered from the embarrassment, he was ready to When I said something to Leo, I found that Leo had left.

At this time, Leo had already walked out of the gate of the security station, and walked in the direction of the temporary residence. On the way, regardless of the strange eyes of the people around him, he took out the king and queen and checked them carefully, and took out the spare special bullets one by one. Putting it in the bullet belt around his waist, the expression on his face was extremely cold and murderous.

Through the conversation with Marek just now, Leo realized that something was wrong with him these past few days, and his attitude towards Sophie had a huge problem.

If you see that the other party is pitiful, you can think about giving some money and things. If you see the other party as the main body's first love, affected by the main body's emotions, it's no problem to care about the other party when you have time. But the decision he finally made was to casually bring a stranger to his residence and place him so close to a resting place. This kind of behavior was not what he should have done.

Maybe it's because there will be some side effects after merging the main body's personality, but no matter how great the side effects are, it's impossible to reverse his almost instinctive will to safety, let alone make him do such absurd and stupid behaviors.

What Marek said just now made Leo realize that he might have been tricked like Marek. He guessed that after meeting Sophie, his spirit and emotions were affected by some kind of force, so he felt that the other party It is very similar to the first love in Ontology's heart, and finally did such a stupid thing.

Although judging from the current situation, Sophie did not cause any harm to him, but she has already touched his taboo, and even controlled his thinking and behavior in a disguised form. angry.

Soon the furious Leo returned from the security station to the door of his temporary residence. Before entering the door, his mental net scanned the room and found that Sophie was preparing food in the kitchen at the moment.

If it was before, Sophie's behavior was not suspicious, but now her mentality is different. Some of Sophie's behaviors are full of loopholes, and she doesn't look like a low-level commoner who knows how to do various housework.

After opening the door and walking in, Leo went directly to the kitchen, looking at Sophie whose back was turned to him.

According to Leo's previous cold personality of biological weapons, he would not hesitate to shoot at Sophie without any hesitation, but at this moment Leo could only pull the king and queen out of the holster and aim at Sophie, but Unable to pull the trigger. It wasn't because Leo's fingers or body were imprisoned by external force, but because Leo's heart or the body's heart was unwilling to shoot Sophie.

"Hey! Did you find out so soon?" Sophie, who was working, put down what she was doing, stood up, turned her back to Leo, sighed, and said, "I thought it would take a while for you You will find the problem, I didn't expect you to be better than I expected."

Sophie's words undoubtedly acknowledged Leo's previous judgment. When she turned to look at Leo, she always looked calm, not at all like a person whose lies were exposed.

"What on earth are you?" Although he was affected and couldn't attack Sophie, Leo didn't panic, because he was sure that the mechanical will could help him get rid of this kind of psychological control, so he calmed down and explored the origin of the other party .

"What is it?" Sophie seemed to be very sensitive to Leo's question, and asked back with a smile: "Why don't you ask me who I am, but what I am?"

Leo didn't answer, but looked at her coldly.

"You're more boring than I expected," Sophie walked up to Leo, not worried about the weapon in Leo's hand at all, but reached out to caress Leo's angular cheeks and chin beard like a lover, Said: "Do you know? When other people see me, they will be eager to pull me into bed almost the same day, and even if they don't, they will miss me day and night, just like that Director Marek. Only you, you just There will be some emotional fluctuations when you see me, and then you will completely forget me as a person, and even treat me as a real maid, you are really special, Leo Dodd!"

"What on earth are you?" If Leo's previous question was just a slip of the tongue, now he is sure that the woman in front of him is not a human being at all, but an extremely powerful advanced creature, because at this moment Sophie feels like It was like seeing the will incarnation of the Eye of Truth on the outskirts of Miria City.

"My name is Vivienne." Sophie took a few steps back. With her steps, the clothes on her body seemed to melt into a transparent gauze, and her figure not only became more graceful, but also taller. Quite a lot, two heads taller than Leo, almost reaching the ceiling. As for her appearance, it has completely changed, becoming a beauty that cannot be described in words, as if the word beauty was created for her, and her hair has become silvery white, and her skin is even more fair like moonlight Gives off a slight glow.

Hearing the self-introduction of the woman in front of him, and seeing the changing appearance of the other party, Leo couldn't help but tremble. This trembling was not from fear, but shock, because he already knew who the woman in front of him was.

When the name appeared in Leo's mind, he said almost without thinking: "Miss Vivienne in the lake!"

The woman in front of her, full of moonlight, bowed down to salute Leo like a nobleman who is proficient in etiquette, and said: "Vivienne sends you greetings, mighty warrior! May the moonlight guide your path forever, Go forward through the thorny river of time, to the place where all things sleep forever."

Leo took a deep breath, suppressed the complex emotions and strong hostility in his heart, put the king and queen in his hands back into the holster, and then used an ancient religious etiquette to salute the woman in front of him, saying: "May the moonlight With you, protector of warriors, guide of heroes."
