Watching the carriage disappear with the naked man at the end of the trail in the forest, Leo opened the letter that Adeline had sent to him and looked at it.
The content of the letter is indeed not as important as Adeline said, mainly that Nelson and Jason are very safe.
It was also mentioned that Duke of Devin’s response to the indictment was very slow, which was abnormal, and she felt that there must be a big move, so Leo was careful.
Anne's own character is also cautious, knowing that the letter is not very safe, so she did not mention anything that would cause trouble on the letter.
After destroying the letter, Leo left the botanical garden according to the original road, found a carriage to sit on, and drove down to the Xianyue Lake area.
The carriage quickly drove to the villa area of Xiaxue Lake. At the only intersection into the villa area, the police at the sentry stopped.
After asking where Leo was going, he went to the outpost, wrote something, and handed it to a colleague nearby. Another policeman took the written thing and rode the horse prepared by the outpost toward the interior of the villa area. Run away.
After a while, when the police came back, he handed a note to the colleague. After the colleague looked at it, he waved at the carriage waiting by the sentry, indicating that he could go in.
The driver who was driving the carriage slowly in the interior of the villa area said to himself: "Hehe! I did not expect my carriage to have a chance to come to the Xiayue Lake District. This matter must be talked to those guys. I will definitely envy Die those guys."
"Is the guard here always so strict?" Leo asked.
The coachman also chatted and said: "It used to be not very strict. Although it also banned the entry and exit of ordinary carriages, it was very loosely controlled, as long as a slightly higher-end carriage can enter and exit. Then one day the police and guards suddenly became stricter. Many, every car that goes in and out needs to be carefully checked. Speaking of which we have just calculated, they sometimes check the inside of the car. I heard that this is because someone sneaked into this area and killed Some family members of high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials have just been heard. However, these are all just heard. The outside world has not released similar news, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.
The carriage quickly reached the door of the villa by the lake. After Leo got out of the car, he signaled to the driver that he didn't have to wait for him and walked straight into the villa.
Like the one with Anne, the maid was already waiting at the door at the moment. Her eyes looked at Leo’s arms, frowned, but did not ask him to take it down, but turned around. Take Leo into the villa.
At this moment, Leo is no longer confused and surprised by some non-human characteristics of the maid, because he already knows that this maid is probably also a kind of clan, and it should look like a half-human clan.
In the data of the black market, it is mentioned that the clan is very proud, thinking that they are the darlings of ancient gods, and their background is extremely noble, so they are very proud of their personality and will not be willing to be with others.
However, it is very interesting that Leo met two identifiable families who were very respectful of a certain human being and even willingly turned into a servant. If it is not that the data on the black market is wrong, then something must have happened to the clan, which made the clan arrogant before changing it and knew how to compromise.
The moment he entered the villa, Leo frowned, although it was the second time to experience it, but Leo was still not very used to the disturbing energy field in this villa.
"You can come, I'm very happy!" The old hoarse voice of the old man sounded in the villa, and the sound of gear rotation and mechanical bite came from the room. I saw that the old man came in his wheelchair In the living room, the smile on his face was ugly, but sincere.
Because of the vigilance in advance, Leo can feel the moment when the old man appears, he can't help but feel an inexplicable sense of trust and closeness, this is not a psionic function, but a kind of personality charm The spiritual power is at work.
So Leo is not going to stay here for a long time, so as not to be affected by the other party, so I went straight to the topic and said: "I have investigated 9 Golden Oak Street and I know what happened there. It’s very interesting, and I’m also very interested. I now want to know what you are looking for there."
"It's simple, find a feather." The old man said a simple request.
"Feathers?" Leo froze, questioning: "What kind of feathers? Which kind of bird's feathers?"
"No, no! It's feathers." The old man answered very vaguely, but he couldn't explain it more clearly. He explained: "This feather can't be described. As long as you see it, you can definitely recognize it."
Leo frowned and said, "In case I found other feathers there, I will bring them back to you..."
"If you really found the feather at 9 Golden Oak Street, even if it wasn't the one I wanted, also if you complete the transaction, I will still give you the complete Gamorian language." The old man knew Leo was worried about something, and made his promise before he finished, but then he added: "But such a thing should not happen, there can only be one feather in 9 Golden Oak Street."
Leo couldn't help but question: "You seem to know very well what happened to No. 9 Golden Oak Street, even you know what's inside."
The old man smiled lightly and did not answer.
Leo thought for a moment and said, "The Moon Lake District in Shangxian is a high-end villa area. There are also a lot of patrols and guards in the Milia City Police Station. I need a pass that allows me to pass at will. In addition, I may also need to go to the police station to check the investigation materials left by the investigation team, so I also need a permit."
"I can pass it to you for the pass." The old man thought for a while and said: "But you are an Englishman after all. It is not appropriate to enter the police station of the French Empire to check the files. I also have an investigation report here. The round is more detailed and I can show you now."
"Also." Leo can see that the old man is very principled, what can be done, what can't be done, there is an invisible line in his heart, he will not cross that line for any reason, so he does not Strongman is difficult.
The old man smiled sincerely again, raised his arm intact, and reached out to Leo: "So we should have concluded a deal."
"Yes." Leo reached out and grabbed the old man's hand, and said, "When will I help you bring the feathers, when will you teach me Gamori."
The old man shook his head and said, "No, I will teach you the Gamori language now, without waiting for you to find the feathers from there."
Leo froze for a while, and said, "You are not afraid, I..."
The old man said with a smile: "I may not do anything else, but depending on how good or bad a person is, I know whether a person can keep their promises or can do it." Then he turned to the maid and said, "Gas Qi, please go to my study and help me get the manuscript of ancient poems written in Gamorei and the investigation report of the joint investigation team that year."
The maid Vaschi obeyed the old man's instructions, turned around and walked towards the study of the villa. After a while, she saw her holding two piles of half-height documents and appeared in the aisle corridor.
Leo stood up and prepared to help Vasque get the information in his hand, but Vasque was glared back with the harshest eyes until she put the information on the living room table completely before turning around and facing Leo snorted and walked to the corner of the wall, standing quietly.
"When will I offend her?" Leo questioned to himself.
"She just hates men." The old man said, looking at his disappearing lower body, very openly mocking himself: "As for me, it should not be considered a man anymore, haha!"
After two laughs, the old man saw Leo did not laugh, embarrassed, touched his chin beard, concealed the embarrassed look, and then pointed to a pile of information, said: "This information is the same You can read the information of the investigation team now, and I just need to revisit this manuscript of ancient poetry and consider how to teach you the Garmore language."
Leo found a chair at random, sat at the table, picked up the information on the table, and turned to look.
The old man also came to the table, picked up a copy of the manuscript on the table, flipped through a few pages at random, and rearranged the manuscript in a way that was difficult for poetry.
Both of them were looking at the information in their hands, and they didn't speak, but they looked at the same speed, which made Vasqi, who was standing quietly, frowned.
The reason why the old man reads it fast is because he wrote this manuscript in person, and he already has all the content in his mind, and he can recall it if he reads it a little. But in her view, with Leo's current speed of looking at information, he was not looking at the information at all, but was turning pages indiscriminately.
Vaskey, who didn't like Leo very much for a while, finally couldn't help the restlessness in his heart. He walked to the desk, held down a piece of information Leo was about to pick up, and said to Leo: "Have you been reading these documents? How much have you read them in this random turn?"
Seeing Vasque's angry look, Leo felt a little inexplicable and turned to the old man and asked: "Can your maid treat the guests so rudely?"
"Don't let this fire burn on me, I never dared to treat her as a maid." The old man didn't answer the word, more like avoiding misfortune, holding the manuscript in his hands high to cover his face live.
Leo looked at the old man's childish behavior a little speechlessly, shook his head, and said, "I suggest you still change the owner, Miss Vasque."
However, Vasqi, who was so eloquent, had no intention of talking to Leo, but only looked at him with questioning eyes.
Leo shook his head helplessly, and pushed the material he had seen before to Vasiqi, saying, "Choose a piece of information, and then point out a paragraph."
Vasqi was stunned, seeing Leo's confident expression, a little hesitant, but on the other hand, an old man who had no intention of intervening in the small dispute between the two looked interested, took the initiative to extract a copy from the information, and randomly turned Open a page, then select a paragraph, and read the first sentence of the paragraph.
After hearing this sentence, Leo hardly did any thinking, recite all the content behind that paragraph directly, and the old man and the maid were surprised.
Vasqi was also curious, trying to select a document and an interrogation document, but as soon as her voice fell, Leo's voice took over without hindrance and recited all the following paragraphs. .
Seeing that he misunderstood Leo, Vaschi did not make any excuses for himself, and directly apologized to Leo, saying: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you! Please forgive me."
"It's okay, I can understand it." Leo smiled.
On the contrary, the old man on the side seemed to fall into contemplation and did not speak.
After a while, he said with a smile: "You can have such a powerful memory ability, which is really amazing! It seems that my previous study plan will be overthrown, and I will re-designate one based on your memory. A study plan that allows you to learn all Gamore languages in one day."
The old man was very excited at the moment, just like getting a toy that was eager for many years. For this reason, he had to inject two drugs to relieve the pressure on his body caused by the excitement.
Leo is not interested in thinking about what kind of learning plan the old man wants to make. As long as it is related to memory, he is not worried at all. With the memory storage capacity of the auxiliary brain system, even if all the text information in this world is all Remember, it only occupies a part of the brain cells based on the trace amount.
Instead, some of the content in the investigation materials, but let Leo see some information that is not in the black market information.
The information he obtained from the black market ~ EbookFREE.me ~ also has information related to the investigation team, but those materials are not as complete as the qualifications he is currently watching, and people who do not know it is a black market feel that a certain part of the content is too much. Absurd, deliberately deleted, or for some reason, even the black market is unable to obtain these materials.
All in all, the content of the local folklore in the survey data is not found in the black market. In Leo's view, the content of this folklore may be the most important part.
In this part of folklore, the Shangyue Lake District had a powerful country long ago. This country conquered all the swamp tribes in the surrounding area, unified the entire area of Miria, and built their capital in the Shangxue Lake District.
The architecture of this capital city is magnificent and luxurious, not even the legendary city of the Kingdom of God. For this reason, the king of that country is even arrogant to be a god.
However, their arrogant actions angered the ancient gods of Mount Dibia and were cursed by that with great power, pulling the entire capital city, together with the residents of the capital city, to the end of life forever.
Therefore, whenever there is a certain period of time, people around the Moon Lake can see the illusion of the city from the reflected light when the moonlight shines on the lake.
