Chapter 87 Female Adventurer
"Yeah!" Emily, who was forcibly kissed by a woman, jumped up from the woman's arms like a little rabbit, ran away and hid behind Leo, and looked at the woman in a panic. Perhaps she felt that the light was hiding behind Leo.
Ou was not safe yet, so he glanced at the table and saw the silver fork on the dinner plate. He quickly picked it up and held it in his hand.
Leo couldn't help but feel strange when he saw the person coming, because he had just thought of this person, but he didn't expect that he would appear immediately.
Although he was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he said very calmly: "Isn't this the time when you should be busy? You still have free time to attend the banquet hosted by the enemy?"
"Observing the enemy's movements at close range can help us formulate appropriate countermeasures." The red-haired woman directly picked up Leo's tableware and started eating.
This red-haired woman is Baron Maupassant in female form, and the right-hand man of Duke Devine's enemy went to the house of Duke Devine's right-hand man to eat and drink. If Rupert Fitz knew about this,
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 meat in her mouth, and said: "Just call me Miss Belmont, Sylvia, only acquaintances can call me, we still
Not an acquaintance."
Using my cup and cutlery to eat something I've already eaten, is this called unfamiliarity? Leo couldn't help but smile when he saw such completely opposite words and actions.
At this time, Emily, who was supposed to be hiding behind Leo, suddenly jumped out, and uncharacteristically, she came very excitedly to Sylvia, who had been extremely scared before, and asked urgently: "Are you Miss Belmont?"
Miss Sylvia Belmont?"
"Is there another Sylvia Belmont in the world?" Sylvia took off her mask with a smile, revealing her beautiful face and said.
"Ah!" Emily looked so excited that she didn't know what to say. She held Sylvia's hand with great enthusiasm and said, "I am a fan of your books. I have read every one of your books."
."
"Thank you! It's an honor for me to have a book lover like you." Sylvia said while raising her head provocatively towards Leo.
"Is she famous?" Leo asked somewhat inappropriately.
"She is Sylvia Belmont? Don't you know her?" Emily looked at Leo with a completely ignorant expression, and then recounted Sylvia's life like a treasure trove, and said
: “She excavated the ancient capital of the Seventh Dynasty of the Kingdom of Savile, and she also discovered the ancient caveman city of the Kingdom of Maris. In addition, she also discovered more than 170 kinds of ancient artifacts that were thought to have been lost.
Species, once hiked across the wilderness of the Moissanite continent, she was one of the world's greatest adventurers."
Hearing what Emily said, Leo looked at Sylvia in surprise, while Sylvia raised her head proudly, but when she heard Emily's concluding remarks, she added
She said: "The greatest adventurer is enough, the latter one is redundant." After saying that, she turned around and looked at Leo with interest, and said: "To be honest, I am very curious about you.
Soldier Yingge, how can you be qualified to sit here?"
Leo didn't answer her, but put his invitation on the table. Sylvia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she saw the black invitation. Then she picked it up and looked at it curiously. When she saw the initials on the invitation, she had a look on her face.
Surprised, he looked at Leo again and said, "Do you know? This is definitely the most incredible thing I have ever seen. You actually knew him and got his invitation."
"Can you tell me this information about him?" Leo said in a deep voice.
"You don't know anything about him? You don't know him, right?" Hearing Leo's question, Sylvia felt even more incredible and said: "If you don't know him, what's the name of your invitation?"
Coming?"
Leo explained briefly: "I just know an old man who is worthy of respect. I am now learning a language from that old man. This invitation was given to me by that old man."
"Oh!" Sylvia looked like she understood, and then smiled: "Since the old man doesn't want to tell you his story, then I..."
"Ledger." Leo suddenly said one word, interrupting Sylvia's words.
Sylvia was stunned when she heard this, then showed an incredulous expression, pointed at Leo and said: "So Ljungberg came to find you for this matter, and it was you who did it! How could it be you?
"
"I'm sorry for embarrassing your men during the day." Leo apologized without sincerity.
"Are you really a soldier of the Kingdom of Yinge?" The shocked expression on Sylvia's face had not subsided, and she couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
"No, I'm a soldier." Leo told a cold joke that was not funny at all.
Sylvia changed her previous playfulness, stood up, put on her mask again, and said: "This is not the place to talk. After the banquet, you go to the address I gave you last time and we will talk there." As he said,
She turned around and was about to leave, but paused and reminded Leo: "The commotion you just made was quite big and has already attracted Lawrence's attention. If you don't want to cause trouble, it's best to leave now."
After saying that, she quickly left the pavilion, walked into a path in the labyrinth garden, and rushed towards another banquet venue.
Leo was not the kind of person who couldn'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 obediently.
Europe's opinion.
So, Leo took Emily from another garden path back to the square where the carriage was parked before, got on the carriage directly, and ordered the coachman to leave.
Not long after Leo and Emily left, a middle-aged gentleman in a tuxedo came to the banquet venue where they had stayed.
This middle-aged man with slightly gray temples was the wizard who was on the Silver Moon Tower just now. When he just returned to the Harvest Hall, he heard what happened in Diana's garden from his manor steward, and he felt that something was fishy.
Came over immediately,
Under the guidance of the butler, he quietly walked to the place where Leo was eating, checked the surroundings, and found no problems. Then he took off his gloves, reached out and rubbed the ring in his hand.
At this time, the eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, turning gray-white.
The change in his eyes soon dissipated, and the doubt on his face did not lighten, but intensified. After thinking for a moment, he said: "You just said that the young man was eating here, and then others saw
He was eating the same way, was there anyone else around at the time?"
The housekeeper told the truth about what he knew: "There was also a woman who came with the young man. It seemed that the woman got on the car temporarily in the square and was brought in by the young man."
"Woman?" The middle-aged man's face became a little solemn when he heard this, as if women were a very scary existence in his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man asked again: "Whose invitation is it from?"
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then approached the middle-aged man and whispered his name.
When the middle-aged man heard this name, he couldn't help but show a look of respect on his face, and then he was silent for a while and said: "This matter is over like this. I will go and tell the boss that you take good care of these guests and let them all
Satisfied, understand?"
"I understand, Mr. Lawrence," the butler responded quickly.
The middle-aged man returned to the Harvest Hall, and went up to the dark room of the reception room on the second floor through the secret door behind a bookshelf in the side hall. He waited for a while, and after the guests in the reception room left, he opened the door and walked out.
, came to Rupert's side.
"What's going on in the garden?" Rupert lowered his head and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, then put down his pen, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, moistened his throat, and asked the middle-aged man.
"We didn't find any signs of witchcraft. It might be a coincidence." Lawrence, who answered in the affirmative, paused for a moment and then said: "But it has something to do with the gentleman who appointed the banquet. The guests at the banquet were all influenced by him.
Influence."
Rupert was silent when he heard this, as if he was deep in thought.
Lawrence then hesitated and said, "But it could also be a witch."
"Witches? Why are witches involved again?" Rupert was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Are there still witches now? Didn't the Holy See say that they were all dead?"
"Didn't they also say that all the dependents in Miria City were dead? What was the result?" Lawrence showed contempt for the Orthodox Church and said: "Witches and dependents both rely on blood inheritance, and the bloodline of witches is very secret. Even if they are
My blood witchcraft may not necessarily be discovered, so as long as a witch does not die, the witch group will not disappear. Think about it, the witch group has disappeared for more than a hundred years, more than a hundred years is enough time for new witches to grow up
."
Rupert asked in a deep voice: "Are they also coming to No. 9 Golden Oak Street?"
"Probably." Lawrence nodded, then looked at the eye-catching Silver Moon Tower outside the window, and said, "Maybe he came for us. After all, the Silver Moon Tower has been standing here for so many years. As long as you pay a little attention, everyone will know us.
They are also researching No. 9 Golden Oak Street. It is almost time to open the door. I am afraid they want to find the research information about No. 9 Golden Oak Street from us."
Hearing this, Rupert couldn't help but sigh, rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache, and said, "How long does Alva say it will take?"
Lawrence said solemnly: "He doesn't know this either. Silver Moon Tower can only know the opening time one day in advance. However, according to the data of past openings, after the last cold wave in spring, the first full moon has a high chance of opening.
big."
Rupert sighed again and could only say: "The safety of the castle will be left to you during this period."
"Okay." Lawrence continued: "Alva mentioned that the magic steam engine has been completed. As long as the fire moon stone is transported, the experiment can begin."
"This is the best news I heard today." Rupert had a smile on his face, and then he stood up, rummaged through the documents on the table for a while, pulled out a form, searched it carefully, and said
: "It will arrive in three days. Then you can arrange for someone to pick it up."
"Do you need me 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 else." As he said that, he added the names of more than a dozen people he had written 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 negate the wrong decision made by the Continental Congress and organize an army to replace them.
Take back the Holy Land."
Lawrence took the list, looked at it, 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 words cannot be explained too clearly. No matter who asks, I only need to answer that I am doing it because of Victoria.
The mountain people were treated unfairly and in pitiful conditions to take them in, without any idea of what they were doing.”
"I know what to do." Lawrence took the list, turned and left the room.
Rupert rang the bell on the table, called the waiter outside the door, and said: "Invite General Nelson in."
While a play called Power was being performed in the Harvest Hall of Silvermoon Castle, Leo had already left Silvermoon Castle in a carriage, and after asking for 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 Barrel Alley. Emily got off the carriage and was about to leave. Leo stopped him, took out a hundred gold flanges from his pocket and handed it to Ai
Milly said: "Thank you for being my companion at the banquet 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 Flan was forced into her hand.
"My proposal is still valid. If you make a decision, you can go to Anne's Hospital on Red House Street to find me." Leo reminded Emily again and asked: "Do you know about Anne's Hospital on Red House Street?
?”
"I know, I know! Ms. Anne often comes to free clinics in urban areas." Emily nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that Emily had remembered his words, Leo said goodbye, then told the coachman an address and headed towards Count de 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 flange in her hand, with an excited smile on her face. She felt that her luck was coming. She only had to wait until she went to Anne Hospital tomorrow.
After meeting Leo, she can get investment to open a flower shop of her own. At that time, she can bring her parents to live together, and she can also have enough money for her husband to run it and find another job.
