Chapter 208 Reunion
"Leo Dodd, you..." Baron Maupassant was shocked at first when his identity was revealed, but after he saw the true face of the hidden person, the shock in his heart became even more intense. He was speechless for a long time, until Lei
When Ou walked up to him, he casually said something inexplicably: "Your clothes are so ugly!"
Hearing Baron Maupassant's words, Leo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Baron Maupassant would suddenly say such a sentence. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the very inappropriate clothes on his body, and couldn't help but smile.
Said: "These are other people's clothes, and they really don't fit very well."
Although Baron Maupassant was wearing a mask and could not see his expression, it was not difficult to see from the movements of the mask that he was taking deep breaths to calm the violent fluctuations in his heart. Then he was heard to say in as calm a tone as possible: "
This is not the place to talk, let’s leave first!”
After saying that, he didn't care whether Leo was planning to leave or not, he just lowered his body, raised a corner of the door curtain, and got out.
Although Leo still wanted to stay in the tent and study the metal fragments, he finally chose to cooperate with Baron Maupassant. He also lowered his body, reached out and drew a Turing root on the shadow next to him, pulled out part of the shadow, and covered it with
With his body, he got out of the tent, blended into the darkness, followed the route Baron Maupassant left, avoided the guarding soldiers, and came to the edge of the barracks.
Then, he saw Baron Maupassant standing next to a brazier and making a few gestures towards a watchtower in the security area of the barracks. Then, regardless of the fires in the security isolation zone, he led Leo directly outside the barracks and observed
The imperial soldiers on the tower seemed to be blindfolded, turning a blind eye to the figures of Baron Maupassant and Leo.
The two easily left the tightly guarded camp and entered the woods. Baron Maupassant did not stop, but led Leo to move quickly in the woods until they climbed over a hill and stopped in front of a huge rock.
.
I saw Baron Maupassant reaching out and knocking twice on the stone. The stone immediately cracked open a door and a staircase extending downward. Then he led Leo to this hidden secret base.
The area of this secret base is not large, but the interior is very detailed. Each room with different functions is separated by simple wooden boards, and a lamp made of special fluorescent liquid is hung on the top. This also makes the underground base
It doesn't look dark inside.
At this moment, there are seven or eight people gathered in this underground base. They are all wearing inconspicuous civilian clothes, but it is not difficult to tell from their temperament that they are all battle-hardened warriors.
A bearded man among these people couldn't help but froze for a moment after seeing the figure of Baron Maupassant, and asked: "Why are you back so soon? Aren't you..."
As he spoke, he soon discovered that a stranger in extremely ill-fitting clothes was following behind Baron Maupassant, which made him immediately stop asking and instinctively put his hand on the weapon at his waist.
Others in the room also noticed the abnormality, and they all stopped what they were doing and put their hands on the weapons beside them, ready to attack at any time.
"Don't be nervous, this is one of our own." Baron Maupassant raised his hand to signal to everyone, then handed the cylinder to the big man and said: "File the contents inside and send them back to Lanxi together with the last information.
The excavation work is coming to an end, there is nothing new, and I have received intelligence that the hound will be transferred from the north. With his ability, our base may not be able to be saved, so we should evacuate as soon as possible!"
"I understand." The big man took the cylinder. Although he still maintained a wary attitude towards Leo, his hand had already moved away from the weapon, and everyone else ignored Leo.
"Follow me." Baron Maupassant said to Leo, and then led Leo to the innermost room.
After entering the room, Leo looked at the simple arrangement of a table and two stools in the room, and said with a smile: "Are you going to interrogate me?"
"I don't dare." Baron Maupassant pointed to one of the chairs and motioned for Leo to sit there. Then he took off his hood and goggles, revealing his delicate face and iconic mustache, and walked to the corner of the room.
In front of the small wine cabinet, he asked: "What can I drink?"
"Just give me a glass of water." Leo responded, sitting on a chair.
After hearing this, Baron Maupassant gave Leo a glass of water, and he took out a bottle of strong alcohol that seemed to be strong, and got himself a glass. He drank one glass first, then another glass, and then he took two glasses.
The cup walked to Leo, placed the water glass in front of Leo, and sat on the table next to Leo.
"Are you..." Baron Maupassant asked, but changed his mind midway and said, "When did you come out?"
"Yesterday." Leo answered truthfully, and then smiled: "Don't you want to know about No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"
Baron Maupassant shook his head and said: "No. 9 Golden Oak Street has been destroyed. It is useless even if I know your experience."
"Nine Golden Oak Street was destroyed?" Leo was a little surprised.
"You don't know?" As soon as he said the words, Baron Maupassant realized that he had asked a stupid question. Then he took a sip of wine, concealed his emotions, and said: "One month after you entered there, No. 9 Golden Oak Street...
A fire broke out out of nowhere and the entire villa was burned to ashes."
Leo immediately questioned: "Impossible! There can't be a fire there, and the building can't be burned to ashes."
"I know this, in fact, many people know it, but it really happened." Baron Maupassant looked at Leo and said, "After the accident, I went to see the scene, and it was indeed destroyed."
Leo knew that what Baron Maupassant said was destroyed was not just the building there, but that the power that shrouded that building and that area had disappeared. Even if someone lived there again, it would be impossible for the dense fog to destroy it.
The people there are sent to the dream world.
Although Leo has not gone to the scene to check the situation and does not have any relevant evidence, he feels that the power of No. 9 Golden Oak Street will disappear, maybe it has something to do with him.
At this time, Baron Maupassant whispered again: "I and others thought you would never come out again." As he said, he paused, and finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked: "Golden Oak Street 9
What’s in the account? Can you tell me?”
"This is nothing that cannot be said," Leo said truthfully without hiding anything: "No. 9 Golden Oak Street is an entrance. Everyone who enters will be sent to a new world. That world is a world composed of dreams of gods.
, although I haven’t found much evidence now, but I think the god who created that world should be the Night God, one of Velen’s ancient gods.”
"Night God?" Baron Maupassant was also stunned by the answer given by Leo. He did not expect that this matter would be related to the gods, which made him not know what to ask next.
Leo said calmly: "You should be no stranger to gods. Wasn't there an evil god's True Eye sealed in the lake before?" As he said, he asked in time: "Speaking of which, I'm very curious.
, who poached the banned Eye of Truth, and how?"
Baron Maupassant did not dwell on issues such as ancient gods and dream worlds. He turned his attention to the current problem and said: "Your question is also my question, and I also want to know the answer."
"How do you say this?" Leo was stunned and asked: "Aren't you the ones who poached the Eye of Truth's body?"
"We?" Baron Maupassant looked at Leo in confusion.
"The Strange Society." Leo said his previous guess.
"It wasn't us, we were a step too late." Baron Maupassant shook his head and said: "In fact, when the accident happened at No. 9 Golden Oak Street, Master Rembrandt proposed to the Society to dig out the Eye of Truth, but he just sent people there
When I looked at it, what was underground had disappeared, leaving only a lake formed by a huge hole."
Hearing Baron Maupassant's words, Leo immediately noticed and asked in a deep voice: "From what you said, the disappearance of the Eye of Truth and the burning of No. 9 Golden Oak Street happened very close to each other."
"Yes." Baron Maupassant obviously knew what Leo was suspecting, and added: "Many people have investigated this matter. There is no direct relationship between the two, it is just a coincidence. Not to mention the ability to silently
If you dig a hole as big as a lake, then there is no need to burn down No. 9 Golden Oak Street. You can just dig up the entire land."
"You make sense." Leo nodded, seeming to agree with Baron Maupassant's words, but in fact he felt that the two must be connected.
Leo, who just couldn't figure out the reason, could only put this matter aside for the time being, and then continue investigating these two matters after finding other suitable evidence and information.
Then, he asked Baron Maupassant: "Since the lake was formed so early, you should have done some exploration inside the lake, and you must have fished out a lot of things at the bottom of the lake. Why are you paying attention to that now?"
A lake?”
"At that time, the Lost Society did not explore the lake. I had other things to do, and I was not yet a formal member of the Lost Society, so I did not participate," Baron Maupassant explained: "I didn't know what happened later.
Several members of the Lost Society who were responsible for the excavation had a falling out, and each took some of the excavated items away. This time, the French Empire sent a large number of manpower to excavate because the excavated items in the hands of one of the members fell into the hands of the French Empire Royal Family.
In the hands of the dean of the college, there is news that he once met with Louis and claimed that the secrets of ancient gods are buried here. We don’t want to..." After that, he paused and said: "By the way, I forgot what you think about the present.
The situation is still unclear, between us and the French Empire..."
Leo interrupted Baron Maupassant's narration and said: "Needless to say, I know a little bit about the situation in West France now. It seems that you should be from the United Kingdom of France, right?"
Baron Maupassant nodded and added: "I am a count now."
"Congratulations." Leo congratulated somewhat flatly.
I don’t know why both parties lost interest in talking at this time, the room became quiet, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Finally, Count Maupassant broke the silence and said: "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes."
After saying that, he turned around and left the room, going to the single bedroom next door.
Because each room is separated by wooden boards, there is almost no isolation effect on sound. Even ordinary people can hear the sound in the next room. What's more, Leo's hearing has been unusually improved, and the sound he hears is even more
Extremely clear.
During the process of changing clothes, Count Maupassant also transformed back into Sylvia Belmont, and seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment. While changing clothes, she was humming a light song. Her actions obviously also caused a stir.
He caught the attention of other people outside the cubicle. Even though those people were in awe of Sylvia, they couldn't help but gather together and whisper about what happened to her.
When the sound of changing clothes in the cubicle disappeared, Sylvia walked out of the cubicle. Those who saw Sylvia's dress first couldn't help holding their breath, but Leo, who was already prepared,
After the room door was opened, he couldn't help but feel a little lost when he saw Sylvia.
Leo had seen the Lady in the Lake in the dream world. Although it was hard to say whether the Lady in the Lake was the Lady in the Lake in Velen World, her appearance was definitely the appearance of a goddess in anyone’s mind. And now Leo saw
Sylvia who arrived also gave him the same feeling. At least standing with the lady in the lake, her appearance and temperament were definitely not inferior.
"Your appearance is comparable to that of the Lady in the Lake!" Leo came back to his senses and said truthfully.
"Thank you for your compliment." Sylvia thought this was Leo's compliment, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"I'm not complimenting you." Leo knew exactly what Sylvia was thinking, so he slightly emphasized the tone of some words and said, "I'm telling the truth. Your current appearance and temperament are really comparable to those in the lake."
Ladies comparable.”
Sylvia was stunned, and quickly thought of something from Leo's accentuated words. She turned around and closed the door. Her fingers drew a few circles on a metal plate engraved with the root word Turing next to the door, driving the metal plate.
The psychic energy in it spreads and envelopes the entire room.
For women in the Velen world, the Lady in the Lake is the object of every lady's admiration. All kinds of legends about the Lady in the Lake have become the pillow stories of women in the Velen world, and Sylvia is no exception.
.When she heard Leo say that he had seen the Lady in the Lake, she did not suspect that Leo was lying at all. Instead, like a little girl, she asked curiously: "Have you seen the Lady in the Lake? Really?"
The lady in the lake? In the world created by the night god’s dream?”
Leo satisfied Sylvia's curiosity and said: "I did see the lady in the lake there, but the lady in the lake and the legendary lady in the lake in the Velen world should not be the same. I guess that
