Chapter four hundred and ninety-ninth witch aria
"Leon, you are now the envy of all the young people in Port Sète." When doubts arose, Leo closed the book in his hand and suddenly said to the somewhat absent-minded Leon Larson.
"Ah?" Leon Larson hadn't come back to his senses yet, and for a moment he didn't understand what Leo meant by this.
Leo said in a joking tone: "Being able to marry a wealthy noblewoman not only solves the family's debts, but also allows you to live a prosperous life. Isn't this kind of thing worthy of the envy of others?"
"Haha! Haha!" Leon Larson showed a somewhat ugly smile and responded vaguely.
Leo deliberately changed the subject and said, "Lion, you don't seem happy?"
"I...well, you'd better stop asking." Leon Larson wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
"What's the matter?" Leo asked with a concerned look.
Leon Larson hesitated for a moment, looked at Leo, and felt that Leo should be a trustworthy person, and because the secrets in his heart had recently put him under great pressure, he needed someone to talk to, so he
He was going to tell Leo what he knew, and maybe he could get some help from Leo.
"Leo, do you believe that there are some indescribable things in this world..." Leon Larson couldn't find the right words to describe the things in his mind for a while. After a long time, he said: "Things, some indescribable things."
Do you believe there are such things in this world?"
Hearing Leon Larson's slightly incoherent words, Leo could feel that Leon Larson was very nervous at the moment, so he followed the other person's words and said: "I believe, after all, our understanding of the world is still
There are very few, just like the wasteland is still full of countless locations.”
Hearing Leo's words, Leon Larson nodded repeatedly as if he had met a confidant, and then took the initiative to come forward, wanting to tell what he knew, but just when he was about to speak, the door of the library opened
But it was opened by someone, and then a woman wearing a white pleated skirt and a white gauze hat walked in.
Although this woman's face is blocked by the white gauze, she can still see the rough outline of her face through the gaps in the white gauze. From this point, it can be seen that this woman's appearance is definitely beautiful, not even as beautiful as Su's.
,Sylvia difference.
Leo compared this woman to Su and Sylvia not just because of her appearance, but also because of her strength. The moment this woman appeared, Leo was already sure that this woman was a witch.
Leo didn't know what this woman's ability was, but he was certain of one thing, that is, his mental network could not sense this woman. Even if this woman was standing in front of him now, he could hear her breathing and breathing through extraordinary perception.
His heart was beating, but the mental network told him that there was nothing in front of him.
It was precisely because the other party was able to completely disable his mental network that the other party was able to walk silently outside the library.
"Leon, why don't you introduce your friend?" The woman walked up to the two of them, looked at Leo, and then asked Leon.
If you don't look at Leon Larson's expression, but from the woman's voice, this woman definitely gives the impression of a gentle woman, but such a gentle voice sounds like a gentle voice to Leon Larson.
It was like the most powerful spell in the world, forcing him to hold on to the bookcase next to him in order to stand firm and not collapse to the ground.
At this moment, Leon Larson did not dare to raise his head to look at the woman. He lowered his head rudely and introduced: "This is Mr. Leo Dodd, the boss of United Machinery Company, and one of the few friends I have here.
.”
"Leo Dodd?" After hearing Leo's name, the woman was stunned. She seemed to know Leo's identity. Then she stretched out her white-gloved hand towards Leo and said, "Nice to meet you, Leo."
Mr. O. Dodd, I am Belengena Pugins, Leon's wife."
"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Larson." Leo gently shook the other person's hand and let go.
Belenchina Pukins smiled and said: "Let's call me Mrs. Pukins! Leon and I have not officially held a wedding in the Kingdom of England. According to the marriage law of the Kingdom of England, we are not considered married here.
couple."
Leo smiled and said: "I think Leon will definitely be willing to give you a grand wedding."
"I hope so!" Belentina Pukins obviously didn't care about the wedding. Then she turned to Leon Larson and said: "I have asked the kitchen to prepare dinner and it will be delivered later.
Come here, remember to eat it, and don't read too late at night. Don't forget that we have other things to do tomorrow."
"Okay, I understand." Faced with this beautiful woman with a voice as gentle as water, Leon Larson still didn't even dare to raise his head and responded in a low voice.
Belenchina had already achieved her purpose of coming here, so she had no intention of staying any longer and turned around and walked out of the library.
After Belenchina left, Leon no longer had the idea of continuing the topic with Leo. After giving Leo a vague response, he could direct the topic to the surrounding books. After that, after the food was delivered, there was no
Without any appetite at all, he ate all the food that Belentina prepared for him without hesitation.
Seeing Leon Larson's performance, Leo could very well believe that Belenchina Pukins had completely controlled Leon's words and deeds. After Belenchina warned her with hints, no matter how much Leon trusted Leo,
I'm afraid he won't tell the secrets he knows in his heart.
However, Leo had no intention of pursuing the question, because he knew very well that there would be no answer if he asked. It would be better to wait for the other party to come to him on his own initiative.
Although Belenchina's face was covered by a veil and her expression changed into a smile, Leo could still sense from the other person's heartbeat that the other person should already know her identity. As for how he knew it, Leo didn't think much about it.
It's nothing more than some information from within the witch guild, or from the black market, etc.
Therefore, the other party should know very well that if she has malicious intentions towards Leon and wants to attack him, she will definitely not be able to get around Leo as a roadblock. So as long as Leo is fine, then Leon will also be fine.
So, after it got dark, Leo asked Leon if he could stay in the library for a few days. Leon might have felt that he would be safer if he had a companion, so he immediately agreed to Leo's request. If the housekeeper hadn't come,
If pressed, he might stay in the library instead of going back to the main room.
After Leon left, Leo still didn't rest and continued to look through other books in the collection that he had not finished. He didn't know how long it took before Leo read through most of the books on the second floor. The continuous high-intensity memory made him
He was a little mentally exhausted, so he needed to stop and rest to refresh himself.
And just when he turned around and was about to go down the spiral staircase, he found that someone had appeared in the library. This person was sitting in the middle reading area, flipping through the books on the table casually, and this person was officially Lyon.
·Larsson’s new wife, Belentina Pukins.
Seeing Belenchina, Leo was slightly startled, but quickly returned to normal. After all, he already had an understanding of Belenchina's abilities. It was not a big deal if his mental network did not detect her.
Belenchina watched Leo coming down the spiral staircase, then stood up from her seat, took off the veil on her face, revealing a mature and beautiful face, and said to Leo: "Leo Dodd
, your reputation is not small in our small circle!"
"Do I have a great reputation?" Leo asked as if talking to an old acquaintance.
Belenchina smiled and said: "I'm not sure about other places, but in the small circle of witches, your reputation is not small. After all, the man who can attract Sylvia's favor will make people curious, and even more so.
What's more, even the arrogant Su is full of praise for you recently, which makes us sisters even more curious about what kind of man you are."
Leo asked slightly frivolously: "Now that you have seen it, what kind of man do you think I am?"
Belenchina smiled and did not answer, then she took off her gloves, stretched them towards Leo, and said: "Let me introduce myself again. I am Belenchina Pugins, the chanter of the Witch Troupe. Nice to meet you.
Mr. Leo Dodd."
Leo Dodd looked at the other person's extended hand and said, "Although I really want to be nice to you, madam, I don't think shaking your hand, madam, is a good idea."
"I didn't expect Leo Dodd to be a coward who dared not even hold a woman's hand." Belentina retracted her hand, put on her gloves again, and looked at Leo with disdain.
Leo didn't care about the other party's attitude and said directly: "The reputation of chanters is not very good in the dark world. I don't want to be your next prey."
As Leo said, the chanter is very famous in the dark world, and can be said to be the most famous among the witches. The reason why she is so famous is mainly because of her other nickname, the King Slayer.
According to records, the chanter has killed at least five kings and grand dukes, and is regarded as a mortal enemy by the entire Velen noble community. The bounty placed on her is almost the same as that of Emperor Fran. But even if the bounty is so large, no one can remember it.
The identity and appearance of the chanter, and even whether he is a man or a woman, are not clear.
Leo wasn't very clear about the ability of the woman in front of him, but the way the woman took off her gloves could show in disguise that her ability was related to her hands.
However, this may also be a deliberate disguise by Belenchina in order to let Leo focus on her hands and ignore the real source of her power.
"I have a question to ask Mr. Leo," Bellentina asked bluntly: "You really came to Larson Manor today just to read these books."
"Of course, I came here today just for these books."
Leo had no intention of lying and answered truthfully. Belenchina was slightly relieved when she got the answer, but soon Leo's next words made her feel a little nervous again.
Leo said, "But after seeing you, madam, I feel the need to do something."
"What do you mean?" Belentina frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Leo said with a slightly threatening tone: "Leon is my friend. He opened the library to me free of charge. I am very grateful, so I don't want him to be harmed because of some people's affairs."
"Hurt Leon?" Belenchina looked confused, and then said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I hurt Leon? Why do you say that I would hurt him?"
"I don't know if you will hurt him, I just know that he is afraid of you and your people." Leo looked at the other party's expression and felt that the other party did not seem to be faking, so he added: "As far as I know
, he seems to know the true appearance of your butler."
"What?" Belenchina was stunned when she heard this, then a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she murmured to herself: "So that's it, no wonder he has been avoiding me in recent days, and even looked down when he saw me.
Looking up, I thought he was angry with me because I ordered people to repair the manor without permission, but it turned out that he saw the old Baker's appearance."
Hearing Belenchina talking to herself, Leo could feel that the other party was not telling lies, and he could also hear that the other party had no ill intentions towards Leon.
"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions towards Leon." Belenchina, who had solved her doubts, said to Leo with a very formal expression: "This time, I was able to leave the Maris Kingdom smoothly because of Leon's help. Now I just
I will borrow the identity of Lyon's newlywed wife and live here for a while. When the limelight outside subsides, I will go to the Moissanite continent."
Leo frowned and asked, "Where's Lyon? You went to Moissan Continent, Lyon..."
"Leon? You may have misunderstood. Leon and I are not really married, and Leon knows this very well," Belenchina smiled and said, "And Leon didn't suffer in this matter. I helped him repay all the expenses."
I will help him restore the manor with the debt, and before leaving, I will leave a large amount of wealth that will help him live the rest of his life stably, so you don't have to worry about Leon at all."
"I hope you can keep your word, ma'am." Leo didn't completely believe what the other party said.
Belenchina didn't pay attention to Leo's tone, but asked Leo with interest: "I guess you have received Sylvia's letter, right?"
Leo looked at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze and asked: "Did you know that Sylvia wrote me a letter?"
Belentina smiled and said: "In fact, during this period of time, every member of the witch group will write to the person she trusts the most and thinks is the most reliable, including me."
"Why?" Leo asked.
"Don't worry, she will tell you after you go see Sylvia." Belenchina looked at Leo thoughtfully and said, "However, I will give you a suggestion, go to Sylvia
