"Yeah!" Emily, who was kissed strongly by a woman, jumped out of the woman's arms like a bunny, fled behind Leo and hid, looking at the woman in a panic. Perhaps it was not safe to hide behind Leo. His eyes swept on the table, and he saw the silver fork on the dinner plate and quickly grabbed it and held it in his hand.
Leo couldn't help but feel weird when he saw the person, because he had just thought about this person, but he didn't expect to appear immediately.
Although he was shocked in his heart, he did not show it on his face, but said very calmly: "Isn't it time for you to be busy now? There is still free time to attend the banquet hosted by the enemy?"
"Observing the enemy's movements at close range can help us formulate appropriate countermeasures." The red-haired woman directly picked up Leo's tableware and ate.
This red-haired woman is the female Baron Maupassant, and the right helper, who is the enemy of the Duke of Devin, ran to the house of the right helper of the Duke of Devin. If Rupert Fitz knew it, I don't know what kind of expression it will be.
Leo asked again: "What should I call you now, Sylvia, or..."
Sylvia picked up the red wine Leo had just drank, took a sip, swallowed the barbecue in his mouth, and said, "Just call me Miss Belmont. Sylvia, only acquaintances can call, we also return Not an acquaintance."
Use my cups and cutlery to eat what I have eaten, is this not familiar? Leo smiled when he saw this diametrically opposed behavior.
At this time, Emily who should have been hiding behind Leo suddenly jumped out, and uncharacteristically, very excitedly gathered in front of Sylvia, who was still terrified before, and asked anxiously: "You are Miss Belmont? Miss Sylvia Belmont?"
"Is there a second Sylvia Belmont in the world?" Sylvia smiled and took off her mask, revealing her beautiful face, and said.
"Ah!" Emily's face was so excited that she didn't know what to say. She gripped Sylvia's hand with great enthusiasm and said, "I'm your book fan. I've read every book you have read ."
"Thank you! It's an honor for me to be a fan like you." Sylvia said as she raised her head provocatively towards Leo.
"Is she famous?" Leo asked somewhat outdated.
"She's Sylvia Belmont? Don't you know her?" Emily looked at Leo with an expression of ignorance that you didn't know, and then told the life of Sylvia like a few treasures. : "The ancient capital of the seventh dynasty in the Kingdom of Savile was discovered by her, and it was also the city of the ancient cavemen of the Kingdom of Marais. She also discovered more than 170 ancients that were believed to have been lost. Species, once traversing the wilderness of Mosang, she is one of the greatest adventurers in the world."
Hearing Emily’s statement, Leo looked at Sylvia in amazement, and Sylvia looked up with pride, but only added a sentence when he heard Emily’s concluding remarks. Road: "The greatest adventurer is enough, one of the latter is superfluous." After that, she turned her head and looked at Leo with interest again, said: "Seriously, I'm curious about you Ingrid soldier, how can I qualify to sit here?"
Leo did not answer her, but put his invitation on the table. Sylvia looked at the black invitation and froze for a moment. Then he took it and looked at it curiously. He saw the initials on the invitation. Surprised, he looked at Leo again and said, "Do you know? This is definitely the most incredible thing I've ever seen. You even knew him and got his invitation."
"Can you tell me about him?" Leo said in a deep voice.
"You don't know anything about him? Would you not know him?" Sylvia felt even more incredible when he heard Leo's inquiry. "If you don't know him, what is your invitation?" Coming?"
Leo explained briefly: "I just know a respectable old man. I am learning a language from the old man. This invitation was given to me by the old man."
"Oh!" Sylvia smiled as I understood it, and then smiled: "Since the old man does not want to tell you about him, then I..."
"Account." Leo suddenly said a word, interrupting Sylvia's words.
Sylvia was stunned, and then showed an incredible expression, pointing at Leo and said: "It turns out that Yong Berry went to you for this matter, you did it! How could you do it? "
"Sorry, your people were ashamed during the day." Leo said sorry without sincerity.
"Are you really a soldier in the Kingdom of England?" Sylvia's shocked expression on her face hadn't subsided yet, and she couldn't help asking doubtfully.
"No, I'm a soldier." Leo said a ridiculous joke that was not funny at all.
Sylvia changed her previous playfulness, stood up, put on her mask again, and said, "This is not a place to speak. After the banquet, you go to the address I gave you last time, and I will talk there again." She turned to leave, but stopped for a moment, reminding Leo: "The movement you just made is not small, it has already attracted Lawrence's attention. If you don't want to cause trouble, it is best to leave now."
After she finished speaking, she quickly left the small pavilion, walked into a path in the labyrinth garden, and rushed to another banquet place.
Leo is not the kind of person who can't listen to the opinions. I saw him standing up and asked Emily: "Are you going to stay here or leave with me?"
"Leave together." Although Emily didn't understand the deep meaning of the conversation between Leo and Sylvia, she felt that this must be a secret thing, so she did not ask much and obeyed Lei very obediently. Ou's opinion.
So Leo took Emily from another garden path, walked back to the square where the carriage was parked, and got on the carriage directly, ordering the driver to leave.
Not long after Leo and Emily left, a middle-aged gentleman in a tuxedo arrived at the banquet place where they had stayed.
The two middle-aged middle-aged man with slight temples was the wizard on the Silver Moon Tower. He had just returned to the Harvest Hall when he heard what happened on the Diana Garden from his manor housekeeper. He felt that something was wrong. Hurried over immediately,
Under the guidance of the butler, he walked quietly to the position where Leo had eaten before, checked the surroundings, found no problems, then took off his gloves and reached out and rubbed the ring in his hand. At this time, the eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of tulle and turned grayish white.
Soon the changes in his eyes dissipated, and the doubt on his face did not alleviate, but became thicker. After a moment of contemplation, he said: "You just said that the young man was eating here, and then others saw He also eats as he eats. Was there anyone else around?"
The housekeeper said what he knew truthfully: "There is also a woman who came with the young man. The woman seemed to be on the square temporarily and was brought in by the young man."
"Woman?" The middle-aged man's face became a little dignified, as if in his eyes a woman was a terrible existence.
After a moment of contemplation, the middle-aged man asked again: "Who is his invitation?"
The butler hesitated for a moment and whispered a name next to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man could not help showing a respectful look on his face, then silenced for a while, and said, "This matter is over, I will go and tell the boss, you take good care of these guests, let them all Satisfied, understand?"
"Got it, Mr. Lawrence." The butler responded quickly.
The middle-aged man returned to the Harvest Hall. From the secret door behind a bookshelf in the partial hall, he walked into the dark room of the reception room on the second floor, waited for a while, and waited until the guests in the reception room had gone before pushing the door out. , Came to Rupert's side.
"What's going on in the garden?" Rupert lowered his head and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, then put down the pen, took a drink from the glass, ran his throat, and asked the middle-aged man.
"No signs of witchcraft were found, it might be a coincidence," Lawrence, who answered in the affirmative, paused a little, and said: "But it is related to the gentleman's banquet assignee, and the guests at the banquet are all affected by him. influences."
Rupert heard the words, silent, as if lost in contemplation.
Lawrence then hesitated again and said, "But it may have been a witch."
"Witch? Why did you witch again?" Rupert froze, wondering: "Is there still a witch? Didn't the Holy See say that they all died?"
"They didn't say that the family of Milia was dead, what happened?" Lawrence despised the Orthodox Church. "Witches and family members all rely on blood lineage, and the blood of the witch is very secret, even if it is My blood witchcraft may not be discoverable, so as long as a witch does not die, then the witch group will not disappear. Think about the witch group has disappeared for more than a hundred years, and more than a hundred years have enough new witches to grow up ."
Rupert Shen Sheng asked: "Are they also coming at 9 Golden Oak Street?"
"It should be." Lawrence nodded and looked at the striking Silver Moon Tower outside the window, saying, "It may also be directed at us. After all, the Silver Moon Tower has been standing here for so many years. As long as you pay attention, you know us They are also studying the 9th Golden Oak Street. Now it is close to the door opening time. They may want to find the research materials of 9th Golden Oak Street from us."
Hearing this, Rupert could not help but sigh, rubbing his head like a headache, and said, "How long will it take Alvar to say?"
Lawrence said in a deep voice: "He also doesn't know, the Silver Moon Tower can only know the time to open the door one day in advance, but according to the data of the past door opening, after the last cold wave in spring, the probability of opening the door will be very high on the first full moon. Big."
Rupert sighed again and could only say: "The safety of the castle will be given to you during this time."
"Okay." Lawrence added: "Alva mentioned that the magic steam engine has been completed. As long as the Fire Moon Stone arrives, you can start the experiment."
"That's the best news I heard today." Rupert smiled on his face, then he stood up, rummaging through the documents on the table for a while, and pulled out a form to look it up carefully and said : "There are still three days to go, and then you will arrange for someone to pick it up."
"Do I need to go in person?" Lawrence asked.
Rupert was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, you still stay here better, maybe I still need something to use you." Saying that, he wrote a dozen of his names just now. Paper, handed it to Rupert, and said: "Give this list to the Weishan people and tell them that as long as His Highness can ascend to the throne, he will immediately deny the wrong decision made by the Continental Congress that year and organize an army to replace them. Take back the Holy Land."
Lawrence took a look at the list and asked, "Don't you need to tell them how to do it?"
"If they don't even know how to do this, why should I protect them." Rupert chuckled lightly: "Some words can't be understood too clearly, no matter who asks, I just need to answer me because of Victoria The unfair treatment and the pitiful situation of the mountain people took them in and knew nothing about what they did."
"I know what to do." Lawrence took the list and turned to leave the room.
Rupert shook the bell on the table in his hand and took the waiter outside the door, saying, "Please bring General Nelson in."
Just when a show called Power was staged in the Harvest Hall of Silvermoon Castle, Leo had already left Silvermoon Castle in a horse-drawn carriage, and after asking about Emily's address, he headed towards the barrel alley in the civilian area. Drive past.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the barrel alley. Emily got out of the carriage and was about to leave. Leo stopped him and withdrew a hundred gold flanges from his pocket and handed it to Ai. Millie, said: "Thank you for being my banquet girl today, this is your reward!"
Emily opened her mouth~EbookFREE.me~ was about to refuse, but Leo blocked the words in her throat with a non-refusal expression, and then Jin Fang was forced into her hands.
"My proposal is still valid. If you make a decision, you can go to the Anne Hospital on Red House Street." Leo reminded Emily again and asked, "Do you know the Anne Hospital on Red House Street?" ?"
"I know, I know! Ms. Anne often comes to the free clinic in civilian areas." Emily nodded again and again.
Leo saw Emily had already remembered his words and said goodbye, then said an address to the coachman and walked to the hiding place of Count Mopossant.
Emily stood at the intersection and watched the carriage disappear at the end of the street. She looked down at the hundred gold flanges in her hand, and there was an excited smile on her face. She felt her luck was coming, as long as she went to Anne Hospital tomorrow, When she saw Leo, she was able to obtain investment to open her own flower shop. At that time, she would be able to bring her parents to live together, and she would have extra money for her husband to operate and change jobs.
Thinking of this, Emily was so excited that she walked up and down, and her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
