Chapter 152: Duke of White Boots

When the rat saw Leo looking at himself without speaking, he said very unpleasantly, "Hey! Big guy, don't you know how to answer other people's questions?"
"It's really interesting!" Leo was surprised and soon returned to normal. After all, in the universe of the Earth Federation, the form of intelligent creatures has never been fixed in humanoid form, but the extraordinary mystery of the world today. In terms of power, it's not a great thing that this mouse-like creature has wisdom.
"Hello!" Leo said to the rat just like saying hello to an ordinary person.
Although Leo simply greeted him, the red eyes of the white mouse lit up, and some satisfactory smiles could be seen on the mouse's face.
"The Duke of the Elf Rat Kingdom White Boots says hello to you!" The Great White Rat salutes Leo like a nobleman.
"Businessman Leo Dodd." Leo, who felt very interesting, also introduced himself briefly, and then asked with a smile: "Want to come to the White Duke of the White Boots, you take the initiative to greet me, not just to introduce yourself. Right?"
"Yes, I don't just introduce myself, I have other purposes," Duke White Boots did not deny, said: "You have what I want in your backpack, I hope to be able to trade with you like a businessman."
"Backpack?" Leo froze for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "You have been following me for a long time?"
The Duke of White Boots nodded bluntly: "Yes, from the moment you stepped into the twenty-third area, I have noticed you, and I have followed you to the horror house, and after waiting for one night outside the house, I followed you and the bureau chief to the Security Bureau. I didn’t show up to greet you until now. This behavior of tracking others is really rude, and I can’t justify my behavior. I can only beg for your forgiveness.

The noble court-like way of talking about the Duke of White Boots, plus a big white rat, gave Leo an inexplicable sense of joy, but he did not show it on his face, but asked curiously. : "Since you have been stalking and don't want to show up, there must be some concerns, so why are you coming out to see me now?"
"My concern is the human attitude." The Duke of White Boots said solemnly: "In the past, I have appeared in front of you humans more than once. Those humans either screamed and hit me, or wanted to seize me. It’s clear that a wise wizard mouse is a very rare thing for them, and no one will treat me as an equivalent wise species.
Then, he looked at Leo with relief, saying : "But Mr. Dodd, you are different. You just saw those elves walking upright and talking to each other. They behaved very calmly. They did not want to catch us or kill us like ordinary people do, so I will Decide to appear before you and talk to you."
Leo asked curiously: "Is there still a lot of smart elves like you?"
With a hint of concern on his face, the Duke of White Boots responded deliberately and vaguely: "No more, no less."
Although it was only a short answer, it was enough for Leo, who is proficient in polygraphs, to get the desired answer, so he said straightforwardly: "It looks like you are the only one."
Hearing Leo’s Hua, the Duke of White Boots jumped away like he was frightened, and opened a distance from Leo La that he thought was safe, but after seeing Leo did nothing dangerous, he came a little closer. A bit, curiously asked: "How do you know?"
Leo didn’t tell the truth, but he pointed to the elves walking through the alleys, and casually made up a set of rhetoric, saying: "Although these elves look like intelligent species, they have their own language and can talk, but In fact, their voices have no language rules, just screams. In addition, they look awkward on walking on the hind limbs, and they feel awkward on their own, so they will change into walking on four limbs from time to time. Obviously their hind limbs The way you walk does not match their habits, it should be the result of your training, right?
"Is it so obvious?" Hearing Leo's explanation, the Duke of White Boots couldn't help but look at the other elves, and didn't know if Leo's words played a role. Don't get upset when you get up.
The Duke of White Boots had believed Leo’s words, and there was no trace of frustration and disappointment in his eyes. He shouted at the elves, and those elves walking upright like humans immediately lowered their forelegs and returned to their normal walking state. Carrying the garbage in the alley useful to them faster than before.
Some frustrated Duke of White Boots came to Leo, jumped on an empty wooden barrel next to him, and said to Leo: "I hope you don’t mind, I didn’t mean to deceive you, just because..."
"It's okay, I can understand it." Leo didn't let the Duke of White Boots continue, and then shifted the topic, "Since the things you want are in my backpack, why don't you just pick them up when I'm not there?" "
The Duke of White Boots honestly replied: "I also thought about it, but you live in a house of horror. The elves and mice that have been there have never come out again, so I dare not go in."
"What are you looking for?" Leo asked again.
"The remains of the mist monster." The Duke of White Boots replied.
Leo soon thought of the high-energy materials left behind by the spirit of the dream killed by the sacrificial knife in his backpack. He was originally prepared to find a way to make special bullets, and then used these high-energy materials to make special bullets.
Now the Duke of White Boots appeared at his risk for this non-absorbable high-energy substance, which made him curious. Even if he knew that there was no answer, he still asked: "What are you going to do with it?"
"Sorry, this matter cannot be said." The Duke of White Boots shook his head as Leo expected.
Leo thought for a moment and said, "That thing is also useful to me, but I can trade it for you. What are you going to exchange for?"
"I don't know what can be exchanged," Duke White Boots hesitated and said, "Wait a moment, I will bring all the valuable things to you, you pick it yourself."
"That's fine," Leo nodded in agreement.
Seeing Leo's consent, the Duke of White Boots excitedly turned a heel on the barrel, then jumped off the barrel and quickly burrowed into a rat hole in a corner. It seemed to be moving things.
Seeing that the Duke of White Boots had left, Leo did not stay here again, and continued to walk back, the pace accelerated a lot.
Although the Duke of White Boots did not enter the house and took what he wanted from Leo's backpack, he chose to trade with Leo normally, but this thing undoubtedly gave Leo a wake up and made him understand that he was a backpack The security alert is not superfluous, and it is not even done enough.
If his backpack was not placed in Peter Alcott’s mechanical cabin, if the elves of the Duke of White Boots did not die under the house’s institutions, maybe he would find him now when he returned to the house The backpack in the study has been evacuated.
So it also made him decide that no matter where he goes in the future, he must bring a backpack with important items on his body.
The appearance of the Duke of White Boots is very helpful for Leo. He does not value the unknown items collected by the Duke of White Boots. Perhaps there is something valuable there, but he will not have too much before seeing the real thing. Big expectations, in fact, he valued the elven rat kingdom in the mouth of the Duke of White Boots.
If Leo is right, this kingdom of elven rats does not actually exist, it is just a future illusion of the Duke of White Boots to the elven rats that he ruled.
However, this is not important for Leo. He valued the elven rodent groups all over the entire ten towns. These are the best eyes and ears. If this group can be controlled, then the entire ten towns, even Silvermoon City will be Will be under his supervision. At that time, he will find the skin fragments of omega-class creatures easier, at least a lot easier than he is looking for indiscriminately.
Although Leo did not inquire too much about the Duke of White Boots, he has learned a lot from the clues of this clue about the elven rat with extraordinary wisdom.
For example, the Duke of White Boots must have been an accident. Otherwise, it is impossible for the entire elf-rat group to have such a high level of wisdom, and judging from the equipment equipped on it, this accident is likely to be man-made. That is, the Duke of White Boots had a master in the past, and this master is likely to be a wizard who is proficient in species mutation.
As another example, the Duke of White Boots has an ability similar to the spirit of the dream outside the city. It can avoid Leo’s spiritual net. Otherwise, Leo will be able to find it outside the temporary residence yesterday.
Although Leo was curious about the various secrets hidden in Duke White Boots, Duke White Boots had a natural timidity and vigilance of rodents, so it only followed Leo for so long, let his own kind come out to try and determine Leo After not threatening himself, he decided to show up in front of Leo.
If Leo did not have a good grasp of the position, he was too keen to study the secret of the Duke of White Boots, and eventually only scared the unexpected helper away, so temporarily keep the current trading state and gradually close the relationship until they trust each other. After that, it is the most correct way to consider the secret of the Duke of White Boots.
On the way down, Leo did not encounter other interesting things, but only encountered several robberies that had no effect on him. In addition, although those elves hide very well, Leo can still find some elves following him through the Spirit Net. Observing him, it seems that the Duke of White Boots still maintains some distrust of Leo.
It took half the time to go to the Security Bureau. Leo returned to the temporary residence. When he opened the door with the key, Sophie, who had recut her hair and had a little light makeup, came out of the kitchen and saw Leo walk in. Now, I quickly stepped forward and wanted to take the suitcase from Leo.
"You don't need to take this!" Leo gave way, and then looked at Sophie, who was more and more like her first love, and felt inexplicable in her heart. She couldn't help frowning, and then sighed, and she was a little confused. Sophie, said: "Wait a little bit for food and drinks, and prepare some desserts. If you can't make it, go out and buy some. Some guests will come."
"Okay, sir." Sophie nodded timidly, turned and hurried back to the servant's room, put on a coat, and went out to buy food.
Leo went upstairs and returned to the room where he collected the potions books, put the suitcase aside, then picked up his backpack, found the small leather bag that stored the remains of the dream spirits from the inside, and picked out five from the inside. The largest piece was placed on the table.
Soon, Sophie put the food, drinks and snacks on the tray and took them to the room. When she was about to ask Leo what else he needed, Leo first asked: "It happened recently Do you know the murder in District 23?"
Sophie was stunned. Although she didn't understand why Leo asked her about it, she nodded and said, "Yes. Melinda, who was in trouble, lives in my house...no, near my previous home."
Leo asked again: "Is this Melinda killed, or..."
"Missing, she is one of the four missing." Sophie replied.
Leo asked: "Is there anything strange before she happened?"
"No!" Sophie shook her head, but soon seemed to remember something, and added: "Yes, there was something she didn't know was strange before she happened?"
"Tell me." Leo nodded encouragingly towards Sophie.
Seeing Leo’s expression seem serious, Sophie couldn’t help feeling nervous, so she sorted out her words and said slowly:
I remember the day before Melinda’s accident, when she came home, she carried a A very precious piece of jewelry, said to be a necklace made of silver shells unique to Silvermoon City. Someone asked Melinda how this necklace came from. Melinda did not say that, but another person who worked with Melinda said that beauty Linda was spotted by a nobleman and was going to take her to the noble area. So after Meilinda disappeared, her family thought she was taken away by the nobleman and didn't care. Until later someone disappeared, she felt No, the guards were found. It was just useless to find the guards, because the nobles were involved, and those guards could do nothing." After she finished, she asked timidly: "Sir, is the information I provided useful?"
"Useful, very useful." Leo nodded in praise of Sophie, and did not know whether it was because of sincerity, or because of the abnormal emotion in the character of the body, and then he asked: "About other missing and dead people, What else do you know?"
Sophie thought about it very seriously, shook her head, and said, "I don't know the things about those people. They are not in the same area as me.~EbookFREE.me~ See no new news, Lei Ou waved his hand and said, "It's alright, go on!" Don't come up without calling you. "
"Okay, sir." Sophie stepped back, but when she walked to the door, she stopped again, hesitated, and turned to Leo. "Yes, sir! After the accident, there was News about the murder has always been circulating on the street, I don’t know if it is true?"
"You said." Leo signaled.
As Sophie recalled, he said, "Some people say that these murders were actually done by flower shops in the 27th district."
"Twenty-seventh district flower shop?" Leo was a little stunned, because he remembered that he and Witzmir were meeting at the twenty-seventh district flower shop to discuss cooperation, so he asked: "Why Would you say that?"
Sophie explained: "Because the people who were involved in the incident had worked in the flower shop in the 27th district, but they were kicked out for no reason, because the flower shop also has some influence in the 23rd district. The shops in the third district are also reluctant to accept these seven people, so they can only pick up customers on the streets before they are in danger."
