Unlike Dio Browno, who is bored in the academy doing research all year round and knows nothing about outside things, Diego, who was born as a low-class civilian, has been wandering among people from all walks of life all year round and sees people from afar.

Far from being comparable to a pure scholar like Dio.

It didn't take much time for Diego to see that Leo was definitely not a simple scholar. His strong body exuded a strong aura, and the unique temperament of the other party was something he only found in Mo.

Adventurers and slave catchers on the Mulberry Continent who have been deep into the wilderness all year round have seen it, and without exception, those people have their hands covered with blood.

"Tell me honestly, are the ruins you found the ruins of the Wakanha civilization?" While Diego was observing Leo, Dio Browno ignored the assassination of himself and was very concerned about another matter.

Something, he asked urgently.

"It's not clear yet." Diego said truthfully: "An adventure team funded by the Goode family brought back some stone slabs of ancient ruins from the wilderness forest. The rubbing patterns I gave you are from those stone slabs. I want to

To confirm whether it is a relic of the Wakanha civilization, we can only go deep into the wilderness."

"I really want to get to the Moissanite continent as soon as possible." After hearing what Diego said, Dio Browno, who was completely immersed in ancient civilization, could not suppress the yearning in his heart and muttered.

"Don't worry, you will be able to set foot on the land of Moissanite in a month at most." Diego comforted his old friend, then took out a bottle of wine and three glasses from the wine cabinet, poured them respectively, and pretended

As if nothing had happened, he asked tentatively: "When did you accept a student? This matter was not mentioned in the previous correspondence with me."

"Haha! You can't believe that Leo was the student I took on on the way here." Dio made no secret of his admiration for Leo, pulled Leo to Diego, and said, "Thank you very much for this."

Arrange for me to be on that stowaway train, otherwise, I would not have met him." After that, he introduced: "Leo Dodd, he is my new student, he has a deep knowledge of the Gamore language.

Achievements."

"Gamore language?" Diego was stunned when he heard this. He knew very well that although his old friend looked like a good old man without character, he was actually very arrogant and had very strict requirements for students.

As a result, there are only a handful of people who have truly become Dior students over the years, and there has never been a student who has been so highly praised by Dior.

Dio's attitude also aroused Diego's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask: "How does it compare to you?"

Dio Browno thought for a while and said: "I am not as familiar with the basic radicals as he is, but I am slightly better at the Turing radicals."

"Teacher, you are exaggerating!" Leo shook his head and said, "I still haven't mastered many basic radicals. As for the Turing radicals, I've only just started."

"You don't have to be so humble. What you lack is just the accumulation of knowledge." Dio Browno patted Leo's arm, and then said to his friend Diego: "You must have never imagined that I, a student, am still

Another person’s student.”

Diego could see that his friend seemed to have great respect for Leo's other teacher, and couldn't help but ask: "Who is that person?"

"Old Rembrandt." Dio Browno said the name directly without being too subtle.

Diego was startled and confirmed: "That Rembrandt?"

Dio Browno laughed and said: "Besides that Rembrandt Mist, there is no other Rembrandt in the world."

After receiving the confirmed response, Diego looked at Leo a little differently.

It's no wonder that Diego's mentality has changed so much. After all, Rembrandt's identity is there. He is not only a master in academia, but also has extremely deep connections in various countries. Anyone who is close to him

They are definitely big figures who cannot be underestimated.

However, what makes Diego feel strange is that he has never heard that Old Rembrandt accepted a student named Leo Dodd, but he knows his good friend very well, if he is not sure that Leo Dodd is

If Rembrandt was a student, he would not tell this matter.

Just when Diego was confused about Leo's identity, Leo's attention was focused on an oil painting on the wall.

I saw that this oil painting depicts the ruins of an ancient civilization buried in dust. The whole picture is very realistic, and the artist's painting skills are also very good. Even people like Leo who don't know how to appreciate art will be surprised when they see this painting.

You can't help but be immersed in the artistic conception contained in this painting, and feel the painter's nostalgia, sadness and despair for this ruined civilization.

Dio Browno noticed Leo's gaze, so he took the initiative to introduce: "This is Francisco's painting "The End of Civilization". It is a painting that has not been made public. Although his painting is too realistic, it will make people feel...

He is very uncomfortable and not liked by the public, but he has to admit that his paintings are definitely master-class." As he said, he added another sentence, saying: "Francisco is not most famous for his words, but for his books.

The unfinished absurd novel "The End"."

"What's the content of that book?" Leo asked with interest.

"He created a magical place in the book. He called that place the end of civilization. After all civilizations disappear, buildings representing the characteristics of civilization will pile up to form the tomb of civilization." Dio Browno seemed to be interested in this name.

Francisco's painting master highly praised it and said: "Although some of the ideas in the book are ridiculous, Francisco's description of the ruins of civilization piled at the end is very good. From his description, we can see that he has a deep understanding of the ruins of civilization.

Ancient civilizations have very profound knowledge, and they can easily fabricate a new civilization that has never existed based on their own knowledge of ancient civilizations. Even when I read it many times, I thought that the civilizations in the book once really existed."

"It's a pity that he died too early, at the age of only twenty-seven." The topic about Francisco also aroused Diego's interest. He also had great respect for this man and said: "The content of his paintings

Most of them are the civilizations he painted. The civilized buildings in the paintings have provided me with a lot of inspiration. Unfortunately, in recent decades, the prices of Francisco’s paintings have been rising, and they have become popular collections for wealthy businessmen and nobles. Anyone with money can

You may not be able to buy it." As he spoke, he said proudly: "I found this painting on the black market. Because the boss didn't know the goods, he thought it was an imitator's painting, so I only used it for less than fifty years.

I just bought the gold flange."

Among the two people who were discussing Francisco's paintings enthusiastically, Leo calmly listened to the introduction of the painting master by the two, but his heart was already in an uproar, because from the paintings in front of him and the so-called absurd novel that he had not seen,

From the looks of it, this Francisco has obviously been to the place where the world ends, and the place he arrived at is probably the Land of Ashes, the graveyard of countless civilizations.

Leo looked interested and asked, "Can you tell me about Francisco's life?"

Diego had collected information about Francisco in detail, so he naturally became the best introducer.

"Francisco is an American, his mother is a native of Mozambique, his father is an adventurer from the Maris Kingdom, and he was a slave from birth. Francisco's master is a good man, and not only allows Francisco to study with his child, but also

After discovering that Francisco had extraordinary painting talent, he hired a professional painter to teach Francisco painting, and later gave Francisco the status of a free citizen and even married his daughter."

As he spoke, Diego pointed to a rural sketch under the oil painting and said: "Although Francisco was born in a humble background, he was very lucky and had not suffered much. He even lived better than other ordinary people.

He lived a worry-free life and had a happy family, so most of his early paintings were mainly rural pastoral or family portraits with relaxed themes, happy pictures, and bright colors. However, a slave riot suddenly swept through his state, and he

His wife and children all died in the riots. He couldn't bear the blow, and he went crazy."

Dio Browno also took over Diego's words and said: "After that, he spent three years recuperating in a local mental hospital. During these three years, he became an expert on ancient civilization, and his painting style also became

He became realistic, decadent and even weird. With this unique painting style, he became one of the few recognized painting masters in the world in just two years. However, when his career reached its peak, he suddenly

He committed suicide beside the graves of his wife and children."

Diego seemed to have thought of something and said: "Actually, there is no public opinion on whether he is really dead, because according to the medical records at the time, there were still signs of life when he was found, but they were very weak and there was no possibility of treatment.

, after the death identification was made that night, his body disappeared mysteriously, and it is said that it was stolen by his followers."

"Believer? Can a painter still have believers?" Leo asked puzzledly.

Diego explained: "While he was in the mental hospital, he founded a secret church called the Eternal End. Not only the patients in the mental hospital became his believers, but even the doctors and nurses also joined his church. However,

After his death, the church quickly disappeared, and I don’t know if it still exists now.”

Dio Browno suggested: "If you are interested in Francisco, you should go to his former residence in the United States and take a look. There are a large number of items related to him there, as well as his diary."

"If I have the chance, I will go and take a look." Leo was already sure that Francisco had been to the ashes of the abandoned city and had seen the scene of the end of all civilizations. Perhaps he could find some relevant information in his diary.

The secret of the abandoned city.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then a waiter from the club opened the door, his eyes fell on Diego, and said: "Mr. Diego, the guest in Room 707 wants to see you.

.”

After hearing this, Diego said calmly: "I'll be there right away. In addition, you go to the wine cellar to get a bottle of Golden Mountain Lion and send it to room 707."

"Yes." The waiter responded and left.

"I still have something to do, so I won't greet you." Diego turned to Dio Browno and said, "You will live here during this period. When the ocean freighter from the Good Chamber of Commerce arrives in five days, we can leave.

Yes. In addition, some academic salons will be held here in the evening. If you are bored, you can attend."

"Okay, go and do your work!" Dio Browno responded casually. Suddenly he thought of something again and asked: "By the way, I have something I want your Good Chamber of Commerce to help with."

"What's going on?" Diego asked.

Dio Brownot Leo asked: "Have there been any ships to the Kingdom of England recently?"

"Going to the Kingdom of Inge?" Diego was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Dio was asking for Leo, so he thought about it and said: "There is no ship directly to the Kingdom of Inge. However, there is one tomorrow.

Material cargo ships heading to Vinaya Port. Now Vinaya Port is in the area controlled by the Kingdom of England, the French Empire and the United Kingdom. There are ocean liner ships to various continents and countries."

"What do you think?" Dio Browno turned to look at Leo.

Leo made a decision without thinking about it: "Then please help Mr. Diego make arrangements. I will take the ship to Vinaya Port tomorrow."

"It's very easy." Although Diego was surprised that Leo was not traveling with Dio Browno, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, this matter was also a good thing for him, in case there were more accidents.

A Leo Dodd of unknown origin may cause some unnecessary trouble on the way to the Moissan continent.

After Diego left, Dio Browno immediately walked to the bookcase in the room, quickly pulled out a dozen tomes related to ancient civilizations on the bookcase, put it on the table, and said to Leo:

"You are leaving tomorrow, so I can take this opportunity to teach you more about ancient civilization knowledge and languages."

"I think now is not a good time to study. Have you forgotten the Wakanha killer?" Leo said seriously: "This time their assassination failed, what about the next time? I think we should go to Lyon.

Hong Kong will investigate this matter..."

"No need, what can you investigate alone?" Dio Browno said indifferently: "It is better to leave this matter to the Good Chamber of Commerce. They have great influence in Port Lyon and investigate the killer.

This kind of thing should be more suitable than you, an outsider."

Leo thought for a while, but didn't insist anymore. He walked to the table, took the book Dio handed him, and listened to the other person's explanation while flipping through it.

At the same time, Dibia came outside room 707, knocked on the door, and after hearing a response from inside, he opened the door and walked in. When he saw Spike Goode sitting on the sofa, he immediately

Walked up.

"Boss, you are here!"

"Yeah." Spike nodded and said, "Has Professor Browno been settled?"

"Yes, it has been placed."

Spike asked again: "What happened to the killer?"

Dibia immediately explained what he knew in detail.
