The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Ah!" Emily, who was kissed by a woman, jumped up from the woman's arms like a little rabbit, fled behind Leo and hid, and looked at the woman in a panic. Perhaps because he felt that it was not safe to just hide behind Leo, his eyes scanned the table, and seeing the silver fork on the dinner plate, he quickly grabbed it and held it in his hand.

Leo couldn't help feeling weird when he saw the person coming, because he just thought of this person just now, but he didn't expect to appear immediately.

Although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said very calmly: "Isn't it time for you to be busy? You still have free time to attend the banquet held by the enemy?"

"Observing the enemy's movements at close range will facilitate us to formulate appropriate countermeasures." The red-haired woman directly picked up Leo's tableware and ate.

This red-haired woman is the female Baron de Maupassant, and the right-hand man who is the enemy of the Duke of Dewen, but ran to the house of the right-hand man of the Duke of Dewen to eat and drink, if Rupert Fitz knew about it I don't know what kind of expression it will be.

Leo asked again: "What should I call you now, Sylvia, or..."

Sylvia picked up the red wine that Leo had just drank, took a sip, swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, and said, "You can just call me Miss Belmont, Sylvia, only acquaintances can call me, we still Not an acquaintance."

Use my cup and utensils to eat what I have eaten, is this called uncooked? Leo couldn't help smiling when he saw this diametrically opposed approach between words and actions.

At this time, Emily, who was supposed to be hiding behind Leo, jumped out suddenly, and, uncharacteristically, she approached Sylvia, who was still terrified before, anxiously, "Are you Miss Belmont? Miss Sylvia Belmont?"

"Is there another Sylvia Belmont in the world?" Sylvia smiled and took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face, and said.

"Ah!" Emily was so excited that she didn't know what to say, she held Sylvia's hand tightly and said, "I am your book fan, I have read every book of yours .”

"Thank you! It's an honor to have a book fan like you." Sylvia said while provocatively raising her head to Leo.

"Is she famous?" Leo asked inappropriately.

"She's Sylvia Belmont? Don't you know her?" Emily looked at Leo with a completely ignorant expression, and then told Sylvia's life like a few treasures, saying : "She excavated the ancient capital of the Seventh Dynasty of the Saville Kingdom, and also the city of the ancient cavemen of the Maris Kingdom. In addition, she also discovered more than 170 ancient ancient civilizations that were thought to have been lost. species, who once trekked across the wilds of the Mozambique, she was one of the world's greatest adventurers."

Hearing what Emily said, Leo looked at Sylvia in surprise, while Sylvia looked up with a proud face, but when she heard Emily's ending, she added: Said: "The greatest adventurer is enough, one of the latter ones is superfluous." After finishing speaking, she turned her head and looked at Leo with interest, and said, "To be honest, I'm curious about you Yingge soldier, how are you qualified to sit here?"

Leo didn't answer her, but put his invitation on the table. Sylvia was taken aback when she saw the black invitation, then picked it up curiously and looked at it. Surprised, he looked at Leo again and said, "You know what? This is definitely the most incredible thing I've ever seen. You actually knew him and got his invitation."

"Can you tell me the information about him?" Leo said in a deep voice.

"You don't know anything about him? Don't you know him?" Hearing Leo's question, Sylvia felt even more incredible, and said, "If you don't know him, how did your invitation come?" here?"

Leo explained briefly: "I just know a respectable old man. I am learning a language from that old man now. This invitation was given to me by that old man."

"Oh!" Sylvia smiled as if I understood, "Since the old man is unwilling to tell you about him, then I..."

"Ledger." Leo suddenly said a word, interrupting Sylvia's words.

Sylvia was stunned when she heard the words, and then showed an incredulous expression, pointing to Leo and said: "It turned out that Ljungberg went to you for this matter, and you did it! How could it be you? "

"Sorry for embarrassing your subordinates during the day." Leo apologized without sincerity.

"Are you really a soldier of the Kingdom of England?" The shocked expression on Sylvia's face hadn't subsided, and she couldn't help asking in doubt.

"No, I'm a soldier." Leo said a completely unfunny joke.

Sylvia changed her previous frolic, stood up, put on her mask again, and said, "This is not a place to talk. After the banquet is over, go to the address I gave you last time, and we will talk there." She turned around and was about to leave, but stopped for a moment, and reminded Leo: "You made a lot of noise just now, and you have already attracted Lawrence's attention. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better leave now."

After finishing speaking, she quickly left the small pavilion, walked into a path in the labyrinth garden, and rushed towards another banquet venue.

Leo is not the kind of person who doesn't listen to opinions. He stood up and asked Emily, "Are you going to stay here, or leave with me?"

"Leave together." Although Emily didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between Leo and Sylvia just now, she felt that it must be something secret, so she didn't ask any more questions and obeyed Lei very obediently. O's opinion.

So, Leo took Emily back from another garden path to the square where the carriage was parked before, got into the carriage directly, and told the driver to leave.

Not long after Leo and Emily left, a middle-aged gentleman in a tuxedo came to the banquet place where they stayed before.

This middle-aged man with slightly gray temples is the wizard who was on the Silver Moon Tower just now. He just returned to the Harvest Hall when he heard what happened in Diana's Garden from the manor housekeeper under him. He felt that something was wrong. Immediately rushed over,

Under the guidance of the butler, he walked to the place where Leo was eating before calmly, checked the surrounding situation, found no problems, then took off his gloves, reached out and rubbed the ring in his hand, his At this time, the eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle, turning gray and white.

Soon the changes in the eyes dissipated, but the puzzled look on his face didn't lighten, on the contrary, it became stronger. After a moment of thought, he said: "You just said that the young man was eating here, and then others saw He ate the way he ate, were there other people around at that time?"

The housekeeper truthfully said what he knew: "There is also a woman who came with that young man. That woman seemed to be brought in by that young man after getting on the bus temporarily in the square."

"Women?" The middle-aged man's face became a little dignified when he heard this, as if women were a terrible kind of existence in his eyes.

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man asked again: "Whose invitation is his?"

The butler hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to the middle-aged man and whispered a name.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but show respect on his face when he heard this name, then he was silent for a while, and said: "This matter is over like this, I will go and tell the boss, you take good care of these guests, and let them all Satisfied, understand?"

"Understood, Mr. Lawrence." The butler responded quickly.

The middle-aged man returned to the Harvest Hall, went up to the dark room of the reception room on the second floor through the small secret door behind a bookshelf in the side hall, waited for a while, and opened the door until the guests in the reception room had left. , came to Rupert's side.

"What's the matter with the garden?" Rupert lowered his head and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, then put down the pen, took a sip from the wine glass, moistened his throat, and asked the middle-aged man.

"I didn't find any signs of witchcraft. It might be a coincidence." Lawrence, who answered in the affirmative, paused for a while, and then said, "But it has something to do with the person who appointed the banquet for that gentleman, and all the guests at the banquet were appointed by him." Influence."

Rupert was silent when he heard the words, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

Lawrence then hesitated for a moment before saying, "But it might have been done by a witch."

"Witches? Why are witches involved again?" Rupert was stunned for a moment, wondering, "Are there still witches now? Didn't the Holy See say that they were all dead?"

"Didn't they say that all the family members in Miria City died back then, and what happened?" Lawrence said with contempt for the Orthodox Holy See, "Witches, like the family members, rely on bloodline inheritance, and the bloodlines of witches are very secretive. My blood witchcraft may not be able to find out, so as long as a witch is not dead, the witch group will not disappear. Think about the fact that the witch group has disappeared for more than a hundred years, and more than a hundred years is enough time for new witches to grow up .”

Rupert asked in a deep voice, "Are they also coming for No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"

"It should be." Lawrence nodded, then looked at the eye-catching Silver Moon Tower outside the window, and said, "It may also be aimed at us. After all, the Silver Moon Tower has been standing here for so many years. As long as you pay attention, you will know that we are They are also studying No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and now it is almost time to open the door, and they probably want to find the research materials of No. 9 Golden Oak Street from us."

Hearing this, Rupert couldn't help sighing, rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said, "Alva said how long will it take?"

Lawrence said in a deep voice: "He doesn't know about this either. The Silver Moon Tower can only know the opening time one day in advance, but according to the data of past door openings, after the last cold wave in spring and the first full moon, the chances of opening the door will be very high. big."

Rupert sighed again, and could only say, "The safety of the castle is in your hands during this time."

"Okay." Lawrence said again: "Alva mentioned that the mana steam engine has been completed, and the experiment can start as soon as the Fire Moon Stone arrives."

"This is the best news I've heard today." Rupert showed a smile on his face, then he stood up, rummaged through the documents on the table for a while, pulled out a form, looked it up carefully, and said : "It will arrive in three days, and then you will arrange for people to pick it up."

"Do I need to go in person?" Lawrence asked.

Rupert was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No need, it's better for you to stay here, maybe I need you for something." He said, and he wrote more than a dozen people's names just now. He handed the paper to Rupert and said: "Give this list to the Weishan people and tell them that as long as His Highness can ascend to the throne of God, he will immediately deny the wrong decision made by the Continental Congress and organize an army to replace them. Take back the Holy Land."

Lawrence took a look at the list and asked, "Don't you need to tell them what to do?"

"If they don't even know how to do this, why should I protect them?" Rupert chuckled, "Some things can't be said too clearly. No matter who asks, I just need to answer that I am because of Wei Wei. The injustice and pitiful conditions of the Shan people take them in and they don't know anything about what they've done."

"I know what to do." Lawrence took the list, turned and left the room.

Rupert shook the bell on the table, shone the waiter outside the door, and said, "Please come in, General Nelson."

Just when a show called power was being played in the Harvest Hall of Silvermoon Castle, Leo had already left Silvermoon Castle in a carriage, and after asking Emily's address, he headed towards the barrel alley in the civilian area. drive over.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the barrel alley. Emily got out of the carriage and was about to leave. Leo stopped him, took out a hundred gold flanges from his pocket and handed them to Emily. Millie, said: "Thank you for being my banquet partner today, this is your reward!"

Emily opened her mouth and was about to refuse, but Leo blocked the words in her throat with an expression that could not be refused, and then Jin Fran was forced into her hands.

"My proposal is still valid. If you make a decision, you can find me at Anne's Hospital on Red House Street." Leo reminded Emily again, and asked, "Do you know Anne's Hospital on Red House Street?" ?”

"I know, I know! Ms. Annie often comes to free clinics in civilian areas." Emily nodded repeatedly.

Seeing that Emily had memorized his words, Leo said goodbye, then told the coachman an address, and walked towards Count Maupassant's hiding place.

Emily stood at the intersection and watched the carriage disappear at the end of the street. She lowered her head and looked at the hundred gold flanges in her hand, with an excited smile on her face. She felt that her luck was coming, as long as she went to Anne's Hospital tomorrow, When she sees Leo, she can get investment to open her own flower shop. At that time, she can bring her parents to live together, and she can also have spare money for her husband to operate and change jobs.

Thinking of this, Emily was so excited that she jumped up and down as she walked, her figure gradually disappearing into the darkness.
