"Knight's battle post?" Baron Maupassant looked stunned, not understanding what Leo was talking about.

Leo then explained: "In ancient times, knights often challenged other famous knights in order to gain fame. Generally, the challenged knight would not refuse such a challenge. In order to show fairness, the challenged knight would decide the duel event.

.If Jacques Huppert is, as you say, a true knight who abides by the ancient knightly laws and receives my knightly invitation, then he will definitely accept my challenge."

"Is it really useful?" Baron Maupassant, who didn't know much about ancient knightly duels and the like, questioned Leo's method.

"Of course, the ordinary knight's battle card cannot be useful, but my knight's battle card is different." Leo thought of the family crest of the knight in the twin illusion, and then asked Baron Maupassant for a pen and paper, and quickly wrote on the paper

He drew a family coat of arms and handed it to Baron Maupassant and said: "Put this coat of arms on my war post, and he will definitely accept it."

Baron Maupassant took the paper and looked at it. He saw that the family crest was very simple. It was two cross swords wrapped with vines. Although he still didn't understand the mystery in it, he still received the paper.

pocket, decided to try Leo's method.

The reason why Leo is so sure that a coat of arms can lure Jacques Huppert is because the coat of arms hides information about the psychic weapon Gemini. If Jacques Huppert is really that knight

If they are descendants of a side branch, the Huppert family, which has inherited the complete cross-sword swordsmanship, must also know the existence of the twins, and even more clearly understand the importance of the twins to this set of cross-sword swordsmanship.

Other members of the Huppert family may no longer be interested in the cold weapon Gemini. After all, no matter how powerful a personal swordsmanship is in this industrial age, it may not be able to defeat a steam repeating crossbow controlled by an ordinary person.

But for a swordsman who can master dual-wielding cross swordsmanship to the point of proficiency, a set of cold weapons that are compatible with swordsmanship obviously has extraordinary appeal, not to mention that this weapon is also a symbol of the heir to the orthodox swordsmanship. As long as

Leo once again hinted in his battle post that the winner would get the twins, and the possibility of Jacques Huppert's objection was almost zero.

Baron Maupassant asked again: "How are you going to write the battle invitation? Do you want to write the battle invitation according to your current status?"

Leo immediately shook his head and said: "Of course you can't write it according to my identity. I will write the battle in the name of a descendant of the Perini family. In addition, help me prepare a full-body armor similar to the Orthodox Punishment Knight, which can cover my face."

The kind that's all covered, the duel time is scheduled for ten o'clock tonight, outside the First Army's camp."

"Outside the First Army Camp?" Baron Maupassant frowned and said, "What if you kill Jacques Huppert, so close to the military camp, how will you escape?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to escape." Leo smiled confidently and did not continue the topic.

At this time, the carriage stopped outside the Sky Tower. Baron Maupassant stepped out of the carriage and motioned to Leo, saying: "Come down! Emily has been awake for three days, go and see her!"

Leo thought of the little free woman with witch blood. He nodded, then got off the carriage and followed Baron Maupassant to his exclusive room in the Sky Tower.

I saw a tall and beautiful woman with striking purple hair sitting in the center of the room. When she saw Baron Maupassant coming in, she immediately stood up and prepared to greet him, but when she saw Leo following behind

At that moment, he stopped, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

He didn't know whether it was because of the gorgeous lace ruffled skirt and exquisite makeup, or because the woman in front of him had completely changed her body shape and temperament. Even though Leo knew in his heart that the woman in front of him should be the woman named Emily.

, and even the shadow of the little woman could still be seen in her appearance, but he still had a feeling in his heart that this woman was not Emily.

"This is Mr. Leo Dodd, my friend." Baron Maupassant walked up to the woman, kissed her cheek very intimately, and then introduced her.

Hearing Baron Maupassant's introduction, Leo had a bad feeling in his heart.

I saw that the woman who looked somewhat similar to Emily, but was more beautiful and had a more noble temperament, walked up to Leo with hesitation in her eyes, stretched out her hand to him, and said: "Nice to meet you, thank you so much.

Mr. De, I am Emily Belmont."

Leo did not reveal his doubts, and politely shook the fingertips of the woman who called herself Emily, and said: "Nice to meet you too, Miss Belmont."

When Leo held the other person's hand, not only did Leo feel an inexplicable connection between himself and the other person, but even Emily had a surprised expression on her face, and the suspicion in her eyes became more and more intense.

It’s thicker.

When Leo let go of her hand, Emily couldn't help the doubts in her heart and asked Leo: "Have we known each other before, Mr. Dodd, why do I have... an indescribable feeling?"

?”

Leo frowned, not knowing how to answer. Baron Maupassant stood up to rescue him at this time, stretched out his hand to hold Emily in his arms, and said: "My dear, I'm still next to you, and you actually did it in front of me.

It would make me sad to say such words to another man."

"You won't be sad, you're a playboy who falls in love with someone you see!" Emily turned around, pinched Baron Maupassant's nose very affectionately, and then said: "You guys sit here for a while, I'll go get ready.

Some refreshments.”

After saying that, she picked up her fluffy lotus leaf skirt and walked out of the room, heading towards the kitchen of the Sky Tower.

After Baron Maupassant closed the door, Leo couldn't help but be confused and asked: "What the hell is going on? Where is Emily?"

"Is she Emily?" said Baron Maupassant.

Leo was stunned, and suddenly remembered all the rumors about witches, and couldn't help but said: "I know that the appearance of witches will change after awakening from the bloodline, but will it change so much? In a few days, it completely seems to have changed.

Just like a person."

Baron Maupassant rolled his eyes at Leo, and then said in a deep tone: "This is just the most ordinary change. You have never seen the transformation of a deformed body into a normal person in one day. That is called changing into a normal person."

people."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Leo felt that when Baron Maupassant said these words, he seemed to be talking about his own business.

Leo was silent for a moment, and then questioned: "I know that awakening a witch's bloodline will change the appearance of the witch, but I have never heard that after awakening the witch's bloodline, even a person's memory will be changed. If she is Amy

If Li, why does her memory become like this?"

"In the past, Emily was just an ordinary little housewife. She saw the corpses of her parents and husband with her own eyes, and they were tortured corpses. She even had her blood sucked and almost died. Her psychology has long been

She collapsed at that moment." Baron Maupassant sighed slightly and explained: "When she woke up, she was completely demented. Not only did she not know how to speak, she didn't even know how to eat or walk at the very least.

, so I tried to compile a set of memories for her so that she could continue to live in another identity."

Hearing Baron Maupassant's words, Leo thought more. He felt that Emily's reaction after waking up was not only a great psychological stimulation, but also the brain damage caused by the loss of a large amount of blood.

.

Although the powerful witch blood repaired the damaged brain, it could not repair the memory in the brain, or even the basic survival abilities trained since childhood, such as eating and walking. Now it is a miracle that Emily can live like a normal person.

, even the medical technology of the Earth Federation cannot treat such a brain-damaged patient.

However, what made Leo feel even more like a miracle was that Baron Maupassant could actually create a complete false memory and stuff it into Emily's mind without any rejection, just like Emily's own memory.

For this reason, Leo couldn't help but be curious and asked about the situation related to this memory.

Baron Maupassant replied very naturally: "This is Emily's own memory. It was not created by me. I just created an environment that can produce this memory."

Upon hearing this, Leo quickly found a relevant information in the assistant brain database, and asked tentatively in a deep voice: "Are you a dream builder?"

Leo has read various records about witches from the occult books written by Rembrandt. Just like the abilities of the dependents are not fixed, the abilities of each witch are not fixed, but some abilities can be changed every few days.

Later, it reappeared in the witches who awakened their bloodline. Dream Builder is such an ability.

In the books about witches, there are very few records about the abilities of witches. However, compared to the abilities of other witches, the abilities of dream builders are recorded in more detail. One is the ability to construct a nearly real dream world, and the other is the ability to construct a nearly real dream world.

The first is to change people's memories through dreams.

However, the ability of a dream builder like Emily to create a complete life memory has never been seen in the dark world data he collected.

Hearing Leo's inquiry, Maupassant did not deny or admit it. Instead, he joked as if he was changing the subject: "You actually know about the Dream Builder. It seems that you have learned a lot from Rembrandt these days."

knowledge, no wonder I think your temperament is becoming more and more like a scholar."

Leo ignored Baron Maupassant's clumsy way of changing the subject. He thought that Dream Builder was the exclusive ability of witches, and no other members of the family or wizards had similar abilities and witchcraft.

As a result, Leo looked at the pure man in front of him with a strange look, who had all the male organs, but had a somewhat effeminate temperament, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you a witch?"

When the conversation came to this point, Baron Maupassant knew that it was useless to quibble, so he readily admitted: "What? Can't I be a witch?"

"But on your body...?" Leo did not finish his sentence, but pointed to his lower body implicitly.

Baron Maupassant's face instantly turned red, and he glared at Leo fiercely. Then he walked to sit down on the cushions in the room, and casually threw a piece of fruit on the low table into his mouth, using this move to relieve his awkward mood.

Then he said: "I am just a skin. I think it would be easier and more convenient to live in this world with a man's body, so I created a man's skin."

"Skin?" Although Leo could understand every word spoken by Baron Maupassant, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, and he didn't know whether this skin was the skin he understood.

Seeing this, Baron Maupassant stood up, walked towards the screen of the room, and warned Leo: "No peeking! Otherwise..."

As he said this, he shook his fist vigorously at Leo as if to demonstrate, and then disappeared behind the screen.

After that, I saw that the clothes worn by Baron Maupassant were placed on the screen one by one, and then I heard a painful muffled sound coming from behind the screen. The sound was a male voice at first, then gradually became thinner, and finally became

A female voice.

What happened behind the screen made Leo very curious, and he almost couldn't help but release his mental net and scan the situation behind the screen, but in the end he did not do so, but temporarily put away his curiosity and quietly

Waiting for the results.

Not long after, the painful groans stopped, and then a slender lady's hand stretched out from behind the screen, pointed at several black lace leather skirt suits on the hanger next to Leo, and said, "Help me get the clothes."

Come here, you won't let me walk out naked!"

Although he had already guessed the result, Leo still had a look of surprise on his face when he heard Sylvia's voice coming from behind the screen.

He took off the leather skirt suit and handed it behind the screen. He couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Wouldn't this cause gender dislocation?"

"Gender dislocation? This term is very new at that time, and it sounds like a medical term." Sylvia seemed not to be prepared to answer Leo's inquiry, and was a little hesitant to talk to him, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was better to say it

It’s better to be clearer, so I added a sentence at the end, saying: “I know very well that I am a woman, but I am just a little different from ordinary women.”

At this point, Sylvia did not continue. Leo seemed to understand the meaning of her words and did not ask any more questions.

For some reason, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward. Neither party spoke anymore, only the sound of Sylvia getting dressed was heard.

Not long after, Sylvia walked out from behind the screen, fully dressed. Except for her temperament and some habitual little movements, she had no resemblance to Baron de Maupassant.

Seeing Sylvia at this moment, Leo didn't know what to say for a while, so he opened his mouth, and finally said, as if he was running out of words to find something to say, "Is the deformed child you mentioned yourself?"

After asking this question, he immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question, and immediately went back and said, "I was just talking too much, you don't need to answer."
