The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Marek?" Leo's mental net scanned the door and recognized the person knocking on the door.

At this moment, Marek's image is really not very good. I can see that his hair is much shorter than before. Although he has undergone some simple trimming, there are still traces of burnt in many places. In addition, one of his arms seemed to be broken. It was covered with a stick and wrapped in gauze, and there were several scars on his face. One of the scars near his eyes was very close to his eyeballs. It is possible for him to lose an eye.

Seeing Marek's image, Leo almost didn't need to think too much, and he could be sure that this injury should be related to the matter in the root nest.

When leading Marek to the root nest and investigating the mysterious person, Leo had already considered the conflict between the two, but he didn't expect the result of the conflict to be like this, Marek would be so severely punished. Leo was injured, which surprised Leo.

"Leo, you have a guest." Jivie El, who also heard the knock on the door, reminded Leo when she saw that Leo didn't respond to the knock.

"Downstairs is a friend." Leo stood up and was about to go downstairs, but when he reached the stairs at the entrance of the secret room, he said to Javier: "Ciri, you come with me too!"

"Me?" Ji Weier was stunned.

Leo explained, and said: "The person who came is the chief of the security bureau of this city. If you can't leave here for a short time, you'd better get to know him so that you can live here."

Jivie Elle thought about it, and felt that what Leo said made sense. According to past experience, it would take at least one or two months for her natural strength to recover and bring her back to her own world, so this one or two months She will have to live in this weird world without sunlight for a while. During this period of time, if there are local people in power to take care of her, at least she will not always cause some inexplicable troubles like those worlds she has experienced in the past.

Thinking of this, Jivie El nodded to Leo, then tidied up her clothes, and walked downstairs with Leo.

After the two came downstairs, just as Leo opened the door, an impatient Marek rushed in from the door. He was about to ask Leo something, but he saw a strange man beside him. Jivie Elle stopped speaking when she reached her mouth.

From Marek's vision and experience, it's not difficult to see that Javier is a powerful fighter. Normally, he might not be so sensitive, but at this moment, especially after discovering the things in the root nest, He has also become extremely cautious, and any strange fighter will be included in his suspicion.

Leo could easily guess the other party's thoughts from Marek's obvious expression, so before Marek asked, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is Miss Jivie, a friend of mine, As you can see, she is also an excellent fighter, she has studied with the night watchman for a period of time, so she also knows some methods of hunting monsters." Then, he introduced to Jillier: "This is the guard from the Security Bureau." Director Marek, when you live here, if you encounter any trouble, you can go to him."

"Hello." Marek is not very good at making friends with people. After listening to Leo's introduction, he just nodded to Jivie Elle and said hello.

Seeing that the other party was very indifferent and not interested in actively communicating with her, Ji Wei Ai'er just nodded, as if they knew each other.

Seeing this, Leo didn't say anything, stepped aside, welcomed Marek into the house, and brought him to the small restaurant next to the main entrance. He warmed up a pot of fruit tea and poured a cup for each of the three. , and then turned to Marek, who was already showing an obviously impatient expression, and asked, "What do you want from me?"

"I..." Marek was about to speak, but he stopped abruptly, his eyes were extremely obvious, and he gestured to Jillier, who was drinking tea elegantly, and signaled to Leo to let Jillier go first. Get out of the way.

However, Leo did not send Javier away as Marek wished, but turned to Marek and said, "If you are talking about Root Nest, I want Javier to It might be better for Miss to listen in here, Miss Jivie Aier has rich experience in hunting monsters, maybe it will be of some help to you."

Hearing what Leo said, Marek looked at Javier, who had no intention of leaving, hesitated for a moment, but acquiesced to Leo's proposal, and got to the point: "Mr. Leo, are you a Did you know from the beginning that the chaos of the fog people would have a stronghold under the root nest?"

"I don't know." Leo quickly gave the answer, and took the initiative to explain: "The Nowitzki family offered a large reward to the outside world for catching the murderer who killed their family heir. I needed something, so I entrusted Wizmir to accept the reward, and used some of my connections here to find the murderer who committed the murder on White Mist Street."

"No wonder people from the Nowitzki family will appear there." Marek was silent for a moment, then asked again: "If that person is really the murderer, how can you get a reward if I catch you?"

Leo half-truthfully said: "Actually, I had a confrontation with that person at the flower shop in the twenty-seventh district, but the strength of that person was a bit unexpected, and the surrounding environment is special, so it's not suitable for a big fight." , so I had to watch him leave. However, the current heir of the Nowitzki family asked Wizmir to bring me a message, saying that I can get what I want as long as I provide the location of that person, As for arresting that person, I don’t need to do anything, so your question is not a problem at all.”

Marek was still a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "In this case, why did you tell me the news?"

"Because I was worried that the Nowitzki family would not be able to catch that person, so I sent someone to send you the news," Leo said, and then looked at Marek with a very obvious movement, and said : "But it seems that even if you make the move, it's..."

Marek's face became a little ugly, and he argued, "The man was already caught, but an accident suddenly appeared nearby, causing some confusion and allowing him to escape."

Although Marek said it was very simple, Leo could feel that the situation at that time was probably not simple at all, and that person should have not only escaped, but probably caused some casualties. Those who died were most likely A member of the Nowitzki family.

Leo also guessed in his heart that Marek might not be able to withstand the pressure of the second family in Seventh Lake Town when he came here today, so he began to ask him, an outsider, for help.

Sure enough, after Marek explained the situation that day, he said directly: "I want to ask you to do me a favor."

"Sorry, the entrance to the abandoned capital is about to appear, and I don't plan to make any trouble at this time." Leo didn't give Marek a chance to speak, and rejected Marek's request without hesitation.

Seeing Leo's refusal, Marek's face turned a little ugly, but his character did not allow him to make a humble request to another person, so he didn't say anything more in the end, stood up directly, and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Leo changed the subject and suggested, "However, I can recommend someone who should be able to help you."

"Recommend someone?" Marek was stunned for a moment, then realized who Leo was referring to, he couldn't help frowning, and confirmed: "The person you're talking about isn't this Miss Javier, is it? ?”

Hearing the obvious questioning in Leo's tone, Jivie Aier couldn't help raising her eyebrows, with a displeased look on her face, she put down the cup in her hand, and said coldly: "Why? You think I'm not suitable. "As she spoke, she pointed to the long sword behind her back and said, "Have you seen this? There are at least a hundred monsters that died under this sword."

"The record is not spoken." Marek responded coldly.

"Then let's give it a try!" Jillier stood up, walked out of the small restaurant, and went to the street outside.

Being provoked by a woman made Marek a little displeased. He looked at Leo and said, "Aren't you going to say something?"

Leo smiled and said: "I also agree with what you said, the record is not spoken."

Marek stopped talking, stood up, walked outside, and said without looking back: "Mr. Leo, I hope you have enough wound medicine here."

Leo replied: "Don't worry, the wound medicine for you must be enough."

After finishing speaking, he had no intention of getting up at all, nor did he use the spirit net to check the situation outside. Instead, he leisurely held the teacup and drank the fruit tea inside, as if the competition going on outside did not exist at all.

The competition outside was soon over, and there were only a few calls from Marek in the room, not even the metal sound of weapons colliding. came in, and Javier, who was following behind him, looked very calm, as if he had done an insignificant thing.

"You didn't tell me that she is a wizard!" Marek asked directly after coming to Leo's side.

Leo retorted: "I don't think your enemies will tell you what abilities they have, and the stronger she is, the more helpful she is to you?"

Hearing this, Marek thought about it, just as Leo said, if he had Javier's help before, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, so his face looked a little better.

"What conditions do you have?" Marek asked Jillier at this moment.

Ji Weier was stunned, and looked at Leo, Leo said that she made her own decision, so she thought about it and said: "I may live here for a while, I hope there will be nothing during this time Please find me."

"That's no problem." Marek thought for a while, and said, "I'll arrange a consultant position for you in the Security Bureau. You can come to the Security Bureau tomorrow to fill out the identity form!"

"But I have no identity." Ji Weier said again.

"No identity?" The somewhat sensitive Marek froze for a moment, with a little doubt on his face, he looked at Jivie El with a scrutinizing gaze, and then looked at Leo questioningly.

Leo said calmly: "As I said before, she once studied with the night watchman."

Hearing Leo's ambiguous answer, Marek naturally thought in the direction Leo wanted. Coupled with the strength that Jivie Elle showed just now and what he said, he mistakenly thought that Javier had always lived outside the city, hunting fog monsters with the night watchman.

So, he looked at Jivie Elle with more respect, and then said sincerely: "Leave the matter of your identity to me, and I will take care of it." After saying that, he turned his head again He turned to Leo and said, "Also, I hope Mr. Leo can continue to help me find out where that person is hiding."

"I can only say that I will do my best. After all, that person has been alarmed now, and he will only hide more secretly. It is impossible to find it as easily as before." Leo shook his head slightly, and suggested: "I give You have a suggestion, you'd better find cooperation with the current heir of the Nowitzki family, I believe he wants to find that person more than you, so he will definitely do his best."

Marek frowned, disapproving of this proposal, and said casually: "I will consider it."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he still reminded Jivie Aier to go to the security station tomorrow.

After Marek left, Jivie El couldn't help asking Leo: "Is it a little too hasty for me to go to the security station?"

Leo explained: "I will go to a place in a few days. I don't know if I can come back. This room belongs to someone else. After I leave, you will definitely not be able to live here anymore. Now Marek can just give it to you. You arrange an official status, and you have a job, at least you don't have to worry about life until you leave."

"Is the place you're going to dangerous?" Jivie El obviously misunderstood Leo's words, and said, "I can help you."

"No need!" Leo smiled and rejected Ji Weier's kindness, and said: "The place I go may not be in danger, and there are many people going, there is a quota limit, I can't take another person go in."

Seeing what Leo said, Javier didn't say anything more, and after signaling to Leo that he had difficulties, just speak up, then he got up and went back to the secret room upstairs, continuing to familiarize himself with the mechanical knowledge he had learned before.

Leo cleaned up the tea set on the table, and was about to go upstairs, but at this moment, there was another knock on the unclosed door, and then he saw Wizmir standing by the door and carefully pushing the door open , Stretching his head inside to wait and see, just in time to see Leo coming out of the small restaurant.

But after seeing Leo, Wizmir suddenly asked him without thinking: "What are you going to do about this?"

"What's the matter?" Leo frowned, looking puzzled at Witzmir who was standing at the door and refused to come in.

"Is it about Peter Alcott?" Wizmir was also a little puzzled, but after seeing the expression on Leo's face, he immediately thought of something and said, "So you don't know! Peter Orcott Kurt passed away suddenly in two days."

"What did you say?" Hearing this unexpected news, Leo couldn't help being stunned, and confirmed in surprise: "Is the member of the Alcott family who died two days ago Peter Alcott?"
