The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo, who was standing in the shadows outside the door, watched the butler Rhodes leave, and the Spirit Network sensed that the young man sat back at the desk and dealt with daily things.

From the conversation just now, Leo has already heard that the robbery was not done by these two people. Of course, it is also possible that these two people discovered his whereabouts and deliberately acted.

But in any case, it doesn't matter to Leo, because he has already found what he wants. The three skull bowls have been given to this young man, and they are now stored in this young man's elegant lady's dressing room. As for who committed the robbery and what the other party's purpose was, it didn't matter.

However, even if he knew where the three skull bowls were, Leo couldn't think of a good way to get them out for the time being, because so far there has been no rumor in the world that the dressing room of an elegant lady was stolen.

In folklore, there is a story about an elegant lady competing with other gods of thieves for stealing.

The story is that Lady Elegant competes with some Thief Gods to steal from each other. During the competition, Ms. Elegant found the treasures of all the Thief Gods, entered them and stole an item, but was discovered a few times, and the stealing failed, but most of them succeeded. But the other thief gods not only failed to steal Ms. Elegant's items, they even couldn't find Ms. Elegant's treasure. In the end, Ms. Elegant was revered by all the gods of thieves as the main god of thieves.

Although the authenticity of this mythical story is to be discounted, from the fact that this mythical story is recorded in the orthodox church's classics about gods and spirits, it proves that part of the story may be true. The ability of the elegant lady to hide things and the ability to steal things are both Is the strongest of all gods.

When Leo's mental network couldn't detect the secret room behind the bookcase at all, he already felt that the legends about the elegant lady might be true, and this was definitely not good news for him.

In the study, maybe it was because the news just now made the young man unable to calm down to deal with official business, or maybe the sound of the banquet outside was too attractive. After signing the two documents, the young man put down the pen in his hand and stood beside him. Looking at the bustling scene outside by the window, he turned and walked out of the study.

Not long after the young man left the study, Leo entered the study through the open window, walked directly to the bookcase with the secret room, looked at the traces of the underground bookcase, and opened the bookcase along the original trace.

However, the scene behind the bookcase surprised Leo. Behind the bookcase was a very ordinary wall. There was neither a hidden door nor a large number of pictures engraved on the wall like the Holy Blood. Spirit magic array.

Leo didn't believe in the perception of the spirit net, nor did he easily believe in what he saw with his eyes. He reached out and stroked the wall, using his body's sense of touch to confirm every detail of the wall in front of him, and vibrating the wall from time to time , to determine the situation inside the wall.

After some attempts, Leo still couldn't find any strange places on the wall. At this time, he turned his head to look at the wall of the bookcase opposite to the wall, and also found nothing unusual.

Although after repeated inspections, Leo still did not find any useful clues here, but he did not think that there was no problem with this wall, because judging from the subtle traces left by the bookcase on the ground, this bookcase was often opened. So there must be something wrong with this wall, it's just that he doesn't have the ability to see through it.

Standing in front of this wall, Leo pondered for a while, but still couldn't find any useful way to unlock the secrets in this wall, he couldn't help but said to himself: "Is it really necessary to catch that person and use a strong Means to force him to hand over the skull bowl?"

"I don't think it's necessary, the two of us can cooperate." Just as Leo's voice fell, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Although Leo was surprised and shocked by someone appearing behind him out of thin air, he still kept a calm face, turned around, and looked at the speaker.

I saw that the person who spoke was the young man who had left the study before. He leaned against the fireplace very casually, and he did not show any hostility. Instead, he looked at Leo with interest, his eyes full of curiosity and fighting spirit.

That's right, it's fighting spirit, as if this young man now regards Leo as the object of competition, and wants to compete with Leo.

"My name is Fernando Delo, a descendant of the legendary knight Delo." The young man straightened up, walked up to Leo, stretched out his hand to Leo, and said, "I know you, Leo Dodd, a very famous man from the Kingdom of England. Not ordinary ordinary soldiers."

"Legendary Knight Delo?" Leo was stunned when he heard the name, and the hand he just raised stopped in mid-air. Although it was just a surname, a person appeared in his mind. This person is The knight he saw from the hallucination produced by the twins gave the twins the cross sword mode. After this knight gained a certain status, he abandoned his lowly surname in the past and got the name Delo from a down-and-out nobleman. The noble surname finally became the name of the legendary knight Delo.

"If I'm not mistaken, the pair of gloves in Mr. Dodd's hands should be the weapons of my ancestors." Fernando didn't care about Leo's impolite behavior, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, shook Leo and stopped. hands in the air, then smiled and pointed to the pair of twin gloves on Leo's hand.

Leo didn't expect that there were descendants of the Delo family. He remembered the illusions he got from the twins. In the end, it seemed that the last heir of that family was executed. Now it seems that that person may have descendants, or it may be the former German The members of the Luo family left descendants, and after the death of the last heir, they inherited the family name instead.

As for the twins, I'm afraid they got clues from the family records, and Leo had used this pair of weapons more than once before. As long as those who are familiar with the twins do a little research, it shouldn't be difficult to guess that the twins are in his hands.

Leo quickly figured out the joints, so he didn't show too much surprise about it. He just kept silent for a while and asked, "Do you want to take it back?"

"Of course, this is the responsibility of any member of the Delo family, to retrieve the weapons of the ancestors." Fernando did not hide his thoughts, and walked past Leo as if he was unprepared, and sat behind the desk again Sitting on the chair, he said to Leo confidently: "I just felt that someone was spying on me, but I didn't find the whereabouts of the spy, so I left first and let that person come out by himself. But what I didn't expect was that the spy would come out." It's you, Mr. Dodd."

"You know me?" Although Leo already had a guess in his mind, he still asked as a routine.

"Of course I know." Fernando opened the drawer under the desk, took out a document and put it on the table, and said, "Although the things you did in Miria City seem to be insignificant and trivial, those things have nothing to do with The combination of other unknown plans has actually become the key to the establishment of the United Kingdom, so the empire will naturally investigate your Excellency, a disturber who came out of nowhere."

Leo unceremoniously picked up the document on the table, flipped through it, and found that the document contained a detailed introduction to his past experience, and even some things that his predecessor had forgotten were also recorded in it, and What is even more surprising is that what happened in the Black Forest was also recorded.

This record of what happened in the Black Forest is not his experience with Dr. Nelson and Jason in the Black Forest, but his experience of entering the Black Forest Wonderland alone. Obviously, the French Empire can obtain this information It also proved in disguise that their relationship with the Black Forest is extraordinary.

"But I'm not interested in you because of what you've done." Fernando said to Leo with a hint of inexplicable emotion: "Sylvia and I are good friends," he seemed to feel that he didn't express enough , and said with a stronger tone: "It's a good friend who grew up together. She lived in my house for a long time, and my parents are her guardians."

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Although he had never experienced such a thing, he understood what Fernando meant. The biochemical person, or his predecessor, had never experienced this kind of jealousy in his predecessor's life of more than 20 years. This kind of novelty actually made him interested.

So, he deliberately provocatively said: "We understand, but you should know that the length of time you spend with each other does not represent the depth of emotion. Some people spend their whole lives together, and they are all strangers. I think you and Xi Ni should belong to this class." humanoid."

"Xini!?" Fernando heard that Leo actually used Sylvia's nickname, which made him, who was always smiling like an aristocrat, couldn't help showing an angry expression, but he restrained his emotions very well, let Returning to the scheduled rhythm, he said, "If I'm right, you should be here for the three skull bowls, right?"

"Yes." Leo nodded casually.

Fernando suggested: "Let's make a bet and use this skull bowl."

Leo smiled and reminded: "Have you forgotten? These three skull bowls do not belong to you, they belong to the Holy Blood Society. If the Holy Blood Society knows that you have obtained the skull bowl..."

"Who knows!" Fernando shrugged with a smile, and said, "Who knows that the skull bowl is in my hands? I think no one can find the place where I store the skull bowl, not even gods."

Leo didn't refute. He was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want to bet?"

Seeing that Leo was moved, Fernando smiled and said, "Let's see who will find out who robbed the Holy Blood first."

"What do I need to pay?" Leo asked about the bet, and said with a smile: "You wouldn't say that whoever loses will never meet Sydney, is it so childish?"

"Of course not. A woman's heart cannot be obtained in this way." Fernando shook it, then pointed to Leo's twin gloves, and said, "That's the bet!"

"It turns out that your goal is it." Leo smiled, then shook his head, and said: "If it is it, your bet is too small, you have to raise it, and the skull bowl is not yours, you Use it as a bet, even if I win, I'm afraid..."

Fernando interrupted without waiting for Leo to finish, "If you win, I will not only give you three skull bowls, but also let you choose three items from my collection at will."

"This bet is very interesting, but the problem is..." Leo said suspiciously, "I don't know anything about your collection, how can I know the value of your collection, if I win, you My collection is just some useless rags, so I'm at a disadvantage."

"You..." It is obvious that Fernando has never dealt with people like Leo. The people who can get along with him in the Faran Empire are all imperial dignitaries. They naturally know how reliable Fernando's reputation is. would say something like this. So I don't know how to refute for a while.

"Since you want to bet on something, at least you must put each other's bet on the bright side, so that both parties can see and understand the value of the bet." Leo said in a tone of lesson: "Now I have made the bet My bet is placed in front of you, and you understand its value, so shouldn't you show me your bet, and introduce the value of the bet to me by the way?"

After listening to what Leo said, Fernando calmed down instead, looked at Leo thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "It seems that you still haven't given up, and you are still calling attention to the lady's dressing room," he said. He stood up, walked to the wall behind the bookcase, turned his head, and said to Leo provocatively: "Even if I enter the lady's dressing room in front of you, you can't possibly know how to enter."

As he said that, he saw Fernando ignore the wall and walked over directly. The moment he was about to hit the wall, his whole body seemed to be submerged in the water, and disappeared into the wall.

Leo watched the scene in front of him without saying anything, just quietly waiting for Fernando to come out again.

Not long after, I saw Fernando walking out of the wall just like before, but at this time there were two exquisite stone boxes in his hand.

Fernando put the box in his hand on the desk, and said: "I originally prepared those three items as a bet, but I think there are three skull bowls in the bet. The bet should be enough, you should have no objection, right?"

Leo was not affected by what happened just now, and said calmly: "As long as the value of the thing is enough, I don't mind."

"I believe the value of these two items is enough." Fernando smiled confidently, then opened the stone box directly, and showed the items inside to Leo.

And the moment the stone box was opened, the expression on Leo's face also changed very obviously, and his eyes fell on the items in the box, and he didn't move away.
