The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo heard the name of Baron de Maupassant from what Sean said to Nelson on the Broken Bridge Square, and he also habitually collected related information through the sub-brain system.

Sean originally wanted to plot against Baron de Maupassant and use his blood of the French royal family, but because Nelson appeared so coincidentally, he replaced him with Nelson. And know.

From Xiao En's words, it can be known that when Leo and the others were in Rabbit Skin Town, Baron de Maupassant was also there, but it is really intriguing that such a baron with such a high status sneaked into a small place like Rabbit Skin Town.

Think about the current battle for the throne of the French royal family, think about the position of Baron de Maupassant, and think about the fact that Baron de Maupassant, who should be on the mainland train, has been transferred to this ordinary intercity train and was assassinated. Ou almost didn't need to use the sub-brain system to analyze, and he could figure out what was going on with his own reasoning alone.

As for the delay of this steam train, I am afraid that it was not a natural disaster as explained by the station. As for what happened in the afternoon, you can guess after a little thought. kind of thing.

Thinking of this, Leo had an urge to jump out of the car to avoid getting involved in bigger troubles.

Leo is not afraid of trouble, he believes that most troubles can be solved with his ability, even if he can't solve it, he can get out, but he is unwilling to cause trouble for no reason, especially this kind of trouble that should not be caused by a small person like him. Some troubles.

At this time, the door of the room opened again, and Baron de Maupassant walked in, bringing along several people who looked like train attendants. After seeing the broken car window, they immediately took out a ready-made car window and replaced it. After apologizing to Baron Maupassant and Sean, they left the room and closed the door. Baron Maupassant also sat back on his berth. .

Although he only went out for a short while, Leo found that Baron de Maupassant's aura had changed a lot, he had become a lot more confident, and the worry in his eyes had also decreased a lot.

"Huh!" Originally, Leo was not going to continue to pay attention to Baron de Maupassant, but he suddenly felt that Baron de Maupassant seemed to have a spiritual energy entangled around him. The net can be clearly felt by spiritual perception alone.

"Psychic device." Leo glanced at Baron de Maupassant, and soon landed on a ring that looked like wood on his hand. There were a lot of mysterious symbols engraved on the surface of the ring. symbol, it is obvious that this ring is a psionic device.

Although Leo didn't know exactly what the function of this ring was, the spirit wrapped around Baron de Maupassant made Leo think of Sean's pendant and the psychic shield on Wilson. The ring should be used to defend against spiritual attacks and long-range physical attacks.

At first, Leo was a little surprised that Baron de Maupassant had such a psionic device that could be used without the need for a psychic, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing. After all, people like Xiao En have such a psionic device. It can be installed, not to mention the side branch of the royal family of Farland with a profound background.

"I think we should cooperate, Mr. Dodd." Baron Maupassant suddenly broke the silence in the carriage.

Leo said in a deep voice: "I don't think we have anything to cooperate with, Your Excellency the Baron."

"No, we can cooperate." Baron Maupassant smiled and said, "Aren't you going to the Continental Parliament in Miria City to sue Duke Devin for using imine gas? We can cooperate on this matter."

"Don't you think it's weird for you to say these words?" Leo glanced at the other party and said, "You are the baron of the Faran Empire, and now you actually tell an enemy soldier to help him sue his country The duke of your country, and this duke is now commanding the front-line army to fight against the invasion of the enemy country, do you know what a person like you is called in the Kingdom of England?"

Baron de Maupassant was not irritated by Leo's deliberately mocking words, but calmly continued the previous words, and said to himself: "Your idea is very good, but it will never succeed. Don't look at the continental parliament that often influences you. The political situation of the country, and even judge the politicians of some countries, but you have to know that those countries are all just small countries, and the land area may not even be larger than Lanxi. But the French Empire is the largest empire in the world, with the strongest The Army and the Continental Congress did not dare to risk offending the Faran Empire by interrogating Duke Dewen, so what you have done has no effect at all."

Regarding Baron Maupassant's remarks, Leo just smiled slightly, did not look at Baron Maupassant again, and did not intend to have any conversation with him.

It was the first time that Baron de Maupassant saw such a difficult persuasion object, and he really didn't know what to do.

If it is carried out according to the general persuasion method, the other party will not give him this opportunity at all, and will not even talk to him, let him talk here on his own like a fool, I am afraid that he himself will not be able to bear this kind of humiliation .

Seeing Leo's calm face, Baron de Maupassant couldn't help but feel puzzled, because Leo seemed to be quite sure that he could successfully sue Duke Dewen.

However, Baron de Maupassant can be sure that even if it is under the influence of the Kingdom of England, the accusation against Baron Dewin will not have a slight chance of success, at most it will only damage Baron Dewin's reputation.

For those hawks in the empire, Baron Devin's unscrupulous approach to victory is more in line with their wishes. They would be very willing to see such an ambitious and capable person become the lord of the empire.

"Could it be..." When Baron Maupassant was puzzled by Leo's attitude, he suddenly thought of a possibility that he thought was the most impossible, because it seemed to him that doing so was extremely stupid and crazy, and it was impossible for anyone to do it, but for some reason He saw Leo who seemed calm and didn't care about the result of the accusation, and he felt more and more that the most unlikely thing might be the purpose of Leo's trip.

So, Baron de Maupassant watched the expression on Leo's face, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Dodd, could it be that you didn't want to go on the battlefield again, so you went to Miria City to sue Duke Dewen for using imine?" Poisonous, right?"

For these tentative words, Leo had no extra expression, he just frowned slightly, and for Baron de Maupassant, this frown was enough.

At this moment, Baron de Maupassant was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't know what expression to show on his face.

He never thought that there would be such a person as Leo. In order not to go to the battlefield, he would go to the Continental Congress to sue the Duke of a country. It doesn't seem like a normal person should do anything.

"Are you crazy?" In the end, Baron Maupassant couldn't help but feel a little crazy in his heart, and asked Leo: "Do you know that you will completely offend Duke Dewen by doing this? He will have thousands of ways Even if he doesn't care about a little reptile like you flaunting his teeth and claws, there will be countless people in this world who will dedicate your head to him in order to please him. Isn't this more dangerous than going to the battlefield? ?”

Leo still ignored Baron de Maupassant, as if he didn't exist.

Baron Maupassant suddenly laughed, sat on the bunk very casually, leaned against the wall, looked at Leo and said: "Mr. Dodd, you must know that it may be difficult to sue Duke Dewen for you, but if you want It is very easy for you to be sent back to the battlefield by the government of the Kingdom of England after failing to sue."

"Crack!" Leo closed the dictionary in his hand forcefully, sat up from the bed, stared at Baron de Maupassant, looked at him coldly, and did not speak.

Although Leo didn't do anything, Baron de Maupassant felt that the surrounding air seemed to have dropped to freezing point, and every time he took a breath, an inexplicable chill was sucked into his body, making him have an illusion as if he was in a legendary world now. A dead place where life ends.

An inexplicable fear made him involuntarily reach out and caress the wooden ring, as if only that ring could bring him a little warmth.

At this moment, Leo did not use any psionic skills. He was just imitating the turbid and light master he saw in the twin phantom through the sub-brain system, imitating his breath and imitating his power. The effect produced seems to be quite astonishing.

At this time, a very slight sound came from the top of the carriage, and Leo unfolded his mental network to understand the situation, and the almost frozen coldness around him dissipated instantly, as if it had never existed before, only Baron de Maupassant still I can still feel the coldness and fear remaining in my bones.

"Your trouble is coming!" Leo, who lifted the spirit net, looked up at the roof of the car, said something in a deep voice, and lay down on the bed again, continuing to read with relish while holding the dictionary, ignoring the trouble at all Will it fall on me.

Hearing Leo's words, Baron de Maupassant quickly took out a pair of mechanical glasses from his pocket and put them on, then slightly adjusted the gears on the frame of the glasses, and looked towards the top of the carriage, as if his sight could penetrate the thick walls of the carriage. Like a layer of steel.

Following that, Baron de Maupassant suddenly opened the car window, then took two steps back, and took out a box-shaped thing from under his clothes, and then saw him unfold and fold the box a few times, and the box immediately turned into a very delicate mechanical crossbow .

Then he turned the scaled turntable at the trigger position on the side of the hand crossbow, stuck a box full of magazines full of corresponding crossbow bolts on the hand crossbow, then lifted it up and pointed it at the car window, but he turned Looking at the top of the carriage, he slightly adjusted the angle of the hand crossbow, moved slowly and regularly, and pulled the trigger continuously.

The arrow shot from the hand crossbow flew out of the car window, then turned upwards, and flew to the roof of the car. Immediately afterwards, a scream came from the roof of the car, and a dozen figures came one after another. Fall off the sides of the car.

Afterwards, Baron de Maupassant turned around suddenly, opened the hatch, adjusted the angle of the hand crossbow and shot directly towards the door. The crossbow arrow also drew an arc in the air, passed through the door, and flew out to the side of the corridor outside. Then, two screams and the sound of objects falling to the ground were heard, and everything subsided.

Baron de Maupassant closed the door, took off his eyes, folded the hand crossbow into the size of a palm, put it back in the pocket under his clothes, patted the dust that did not exist on his body, and raised his head towards Leo who was lying on the bed, quite a bit Like a kid waiting for a compliment.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the strength shown by this feminine-looking Baron de Maupassant did surprise Leo. A dozen well-trained killers were dealt with lightly by him with a crossbow.

It is undeniable that both the exquisitely designed mechanical crossbow and the glasses that seem to be able to see through the steel plate of the carriage played a key role, but Baron de Maupassant, who can use the two pieces of equipment so superbly, is obviously very powerful.

Moreover, Leo also felt that this was not his full strength. Just now he showed extremely fast spear drawing skills, which shows that his marksmanship should be very good. In addition, there seem to be daggers, long swords and other weapons in his luggage. Also has decent melee ability.

If it was an ordinary person, it wouldn't be too surprising. After all, many people had to train themselves to the death due to life, and this is how they mastered so many abilities.

But an aristocrat who was pampered since he was a child can give up his good life and develop such a skill, which really makes Leo feel admiration for him, and the resentment he had originally had because the other party threatened him to cooperate has also eased a lot.

"I won't force you to make a decision now, but I'm sure you will come to me for cooperation." Baron de Maupassant took out a golden business card from his pocket, threw it on Leo's bunk, and said, "This is my The address in Miria City, if you have a connection, you can come to me."

After finishing speaking, I saw him take off the luggage from the luggage rack and put it on his back, then took out a windbreaker with a hood from the closet next to him and put it on, stepped on the table, grabbed On the edge of the car window, he jumped hard, got out, stretched his body in the air, fell on the grass next to the car track, rolled a few times, stood up like a normal person, and then disappeared into the grass .

After Baron de Maupassant's whereabouts were exposed, he was able to decisively choose to jump out of the car halfway, instead of staying on purpose and dragging Leo into the water forcibly. Consider the pros and cons of working with him.

He picked up the golden business card on the bunk and looked at it. Although this business card has a golden texture, it is a kind of wood itself, and there is a fragrance attached to it, which is different from the current French women's habit. It smells very comfortable, which shows that the wood used to make this business card is extraordinary.

Leo took the business card for a while and thought about it, but in the end he didn't throw it away, but put it in his pocket, feeling that it might be useful in the future.
