Chapter 731 Straightforward
The Bloody Baroness obviously had never dealt with someone like Leo who spoke so directly. She was stunned for a long time before she returned to normal. Then she put the embarrassment on her face away, showed a polite smile, and said: "Our Kuifan family is very willing to cooperate with Lei."
Mr. Ou, please become friends and do things that are beneficial to each other."
Seeing that the other party was still using such a formulaic set of words, Leo sighed helplessly, and then simply said straight to the point: "The reason why you came to me is because of what I did in that collapsed apartment building.
Right?"
At this moment, the Bloody Baroness felt a sense of suffocation. The words she had originally prepared were all blocked by Leo's chest. This made her feel for the first time whether there was something wrong with her previous speaking skills, because now she
She had completely lost control of the direction of the conversation and could only passively react to Leo's words. It was like she no longer knew what to say and could only nod in recognition of Leo's inference.
"I'm not interested in the victims. I'm not a defender or a paladin. I won't investigate things or cause trouble out of sympathy, so you don't have to worry about anything. As for your beliefs, what do you vampires want to do?
I'm not even interested." Leo very directly revealed all the shady things and put them on the bright side, saying: "I came to Moonlight City mainly to participate in last night's auction and buy something.
I have bought it, and the main purpose of coming here has been completed. In the afternoon, I will be invited to visit White Swan Castle and study the mystery of the foundation of White Swan Castle to see if I can find out the secrets. However, no matter whether I can find it or not
The secret is that I will leave tomorrow and will not care about anything that happens in Moonlight City. Even if Moonlight City is destroyed after I leave, I will not look back. Do you understand now, Baroness?"
After listening to Leo's words, the Bloody Baroness sat across from him blankly, not knowing what to say or how to react. Her previous experience was of no use when facing Leo's straightforward way of talking.
She didn't know whether she should believe Leo's words. If what Leo said was true and he was not interested in what happened in Moonlight City and the Vampire Clan, then it would be best. But if these words were false, then they
They need to face a tower wizard with unknown strength and a core member of the witch group. This is the last thing they want to see, and it is likely to affect the success or failure of the plan.
For this reason, the Bloody Baroness also began to analyze Leo's words word for word, hoping to use her own ability to see if she could analyze Leo's duplicity.
But before she could analyze the reason, she was a little frightened by a small part of Leo's words that was almost ignored. She couldn't help but feel worried in her heart, and confirmed to Leo: "Lei
Mr. Ou, you just mentioned my faith..."
"The God of Clever Words." Leo pointed it out directly without beating around the bush.
The Bloody Baroness took a breath of cold air, because it was definitely her big secret that the God of Words had followers. Except for a few insiders in the clan, no one else knew about it, because if this matter spread,
It is an extremely dangerous matter for the Kuifan family and her.
Thinking of this, the Bloody Baroness couldn't help but have the urge to get rid of Leo and keep the matter hidden.
"Do you want to kill me to hide the secret of your belief in the God of Wrong Words?" Before the Bloody Countess could make any move, Leo's voice penetrated into her ears again, "Are you sure you can kill me?"
Am I, or am I making things worse?”
The Bloody Baroness suddenly had the illusion that she was being seen through from the inside out. This feeling of being suppressed in all directions made her extremely uncomfortable.
"I'll say it again, I don't like to cause trouble, as long as there is no trouble to provoke me." Leo said with emphasis again.
The Bloody Baroness took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and then asked with a cold face: "Since Your Excellency has repeatedly emphasized that you do not want to cause trouble, why did you go to that abandoned factory again? There are werewolves in Moonlight City.
I'm stationed here, don't tell me you're going for a walk."
Leo responded simply: "I had a deal with Beruwufu, but the deal has been completed, and now I have nothing to do with the werewolf."
The Bloody Baroness had no way to question or refute Leo's words, because she didn't know what deal Leo had with Beruwulf. She could only use a tough tone and say something without any threat, saying: "I hope Mr. Leo
We can keep our word and we don’t want any misunderstanding with the witch group because of you."
Leo didn't respond anymore, just smiled.
The carriage fell into an awkward silence. Unable to bear this atmosphere, the bloody baroness put on a big hat that covered her head, stopped the carriage, got out alone, and then ordered the coachman to take Leo to
After reaching the destination, he turned back to pick her up, but her hurried attitude was like she was avoiding another scary monster.
After the Bloody Baroness left, Leo sat back on the chair and carefully recalled the behavior and words of the Bloody Baroness just now. He could feel the temptation from the Bloody Baroness, but this roundabout temptation was obviously ignored.
Leo's direct words disrupted the rhythm, making the Bloody Baroness always in a state of abnormality.
Leo didn't know whether his direct and true statement could be accepted by the vampires, but he had already expressed his attitude. If the vampires still didn't believe it, then he had no choice. As long as the vampires didn't take the initiative to trouble him, he
There shouldn't be any conflict with the vampires. After these two days, when he leaves Moonlight City, he will truly leave this maelstrom of undercurrents.
Perhaps because of the special markings on the Bloody Baron's carriage, the carriage drove very fast on the street, and other carriages on the road would actively avoid this carriage, which made Leo arrive at Mister Street faster than expected.
A lot.
Mister Street is one of the few streets in Moonlight City named after a person. This street is mainly to commemorate Kevin Mister, the planner of Moonlight City. Now the construction and planning of the main urban areas of Moonlight City are all given to urban planning.
Designed by the architect, Kevin Mister stations were erected at the entrances at both ends of Mister Street, with two statues sitting on them.
In addition, Mister Street was originally an architect office street. Due to the strong support of the Kuifan family, a school of architecture was opened on Mister Street. It is also the best architectural school in the Kingdom of Maris. From the School of Architecture
Most of the architects who graduated will open offices on this street and several surrounding streets, or work in other people's offices, making it a mecca for mainland architects in Minsk for a period of time.
However, due to the increase in the population of Moonlight City and urban reconstruction, Mister Street is no longer suitable for housing the School of Architecture, so the municipal authorities moved the Mister School of Architecture to the outskirts of the city, and the studios were also moved there. Mister Street
It also lost that layer of brilliance and turned into an ordinary street of merchants.
The merchants on this street are almost all individual workshops, with residences upstairs and workshops and shops downstairs. All kinds of clothing, food, housing and transportation items can be purchased here, so opening a bookstore on such a street,
Not very eye-catching.
Collector's Bookstore was the name of the bookstore that Leo was looking for, but after finding this bookstore, Leo took a second look at the name of the bookstore engraved on the notice board. Although there was Maris under the name.
language, but the text of the name is in Gulet, a language that has disappeared from the ancient Minsk continent. The word collection in this language has two meanings, one is collection and the other is protection, so this bookstore is called
There is nothing wrong with being a protector bookstore.
"Protecting knowledge?" Leo thought silently in his mind about the deeper meaning of the library and bookstore, then nodded approvingly, opened the door and walked in.
Compared with the hustle and bustle on the street outside, the bookstore seems very quiet. This does not mean that there are no customers in the bookstore. On the contrary, there are many customers in the bookstore. Although it is not completely full, it is at least 70% full.
There were people on the chairs, everyone ordered a cup of tea and some snacks, and then read books quietly in the bookstore. The overall atmosphere was very good.
After Leo came in, the waiter behind the counter at the door came up and asked Leo what kind of service he needed.
"I'm looking for Miss Yilan." Leo said.
"Who are you?" The waiter did not tell Yilan immediately, but looked at Leo with a little vigilance.
Leo introduced himself: "My name is Leo Dodd, and I am on the same train as Miss Yilan..."
"Ah! It's Mr. Leo." Before Leo could finish speaking, the waiter showed an understanding look and said with a smile: "Please follow me."
After saying that, he led Leo upstairs. The two of them soon reached the third floor. The waiter knocked on the only door on the third floor that was facing the stairs.
The door opened a crack, and a man peeked out carefully. When he saw the waiter, he asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Leo Dodd comes to see Miss Yilan." The waiter stepped aside, revealing Leo Dodd behind him and said.
After seeing Leo Dodd, the man behind the door was stunned, and then looked at the waiter with some displeasure, as if blaming the waiter for bringing Leo upstairs.
But with outsiders present, he couldn't blame the waiter, so he could only say coldly: "I understand, you can go down."
However, the waiter did not leave immediately, and still stood where he was.
"Is there anything else?" the person behind the door asked impatiently.
"The tea in the store is no longer enough and needs to be replenished," the waiter curled his lips and said: "In addition, we haven't received new books for a while. Customers have been asking if there are any new books recently. I heard that there was a batch of new books yesterday.
We just arrived, I think we should go closer."
"Okay! Just do what you want." The person behind the door said extremely impatiently.
"I want to do it too, but there's not enough money in the store." The waiter said dissatisfied.
"Isn't the money enough?" The person behind the door was stunned for a moment, then closed the door. After a while, he opened the door a crack, handed over a cash check from a local bank, and said, "Is there anything else? Nothing.
Just leave!”
The waiter took the cash check and looked at the numbers on it, smiled with satisfaction, and skipped downstairs without any urging from the person behind the door.
When there were only two people left, the person behind the door still only opened the door a crack, looked at Leo through the crack, and said: "Hello, the old version of Ross Pfister from the Collector's Bookstore."
"Hello, I'm Leo Dodd." Leo introduced himself without paying attention to the other party's rude behavior.
"I heard Yilan mention you. Yilan is not here right now. She will be back in a while. Just wait here for a while." Ross Feist said as he took out a metal watering can from behind the door and sprayed it.
He placed it outside the door and said, "The spray bottle contains my homemade disinfectant. Please spray it on yourself."
Hearing the other party's request, Leo was stunned. Although from the behavioral point of view, this Ross Pfister seemed to be a mysophobia patient, and it was a very serious one, but Leo could see from some details that
The other party doesn't seem to be a mysophobia, and the most striking feature is that the other party is not wearing gloves.
Although he was doubtful, Leo still picked up the watering can on the ground and sprayed it on his body a few times.
A stream of water vapor with a strong medicinal smell fell on his body. Leo hardly needed any careful analysis to confirm from the special medicinal smell that this was not a disinfectant at all, but an insect repellent.
Seeing Leo spraying the potion on his body, Rose Pfister, who was behind the door, relaxed a little, then opened the door enough to allow one person to enter, and urged Leo to come in quickly.
As soon as Leo walked in, Ross Feist couldn't wait to close the door, then quickly picked up some dust from the door and sprinkled it on the door.
Most people would only think that Rose Pfister was a weirdo when they saw what the other party did. However, Leo knew very well that what the other party did was a shamanistic exorcism ritual, and the dust beside the door was simply human ashes.
This discovery also made Leo curious. With this curiosity, Leo looked at the rooms on the third floor. He saw that the entire room on the third floor had been opened up and turned into a large room. From here
Judging from the facilities, this room should function as a living room and conference room.
However, Leo's attention was not on the function of the room, but on the various furnishings scattered all over the walls of the room, especially near the window.
Although he cannot be called an expert on shamanism in the Moissanite continent, he has more knowledge and mysteries about shamanism than most experts.
It was this knowledge that allowed him to easily identify the strange hangings scattered throughout the room. They were all shamanic evil-exorcism amulets from different wasteland tribes. The number and variety covered almost all the people who had come into contact with the civilized world.
