"How did he get this purple crown flower?" As the mood recovered, Annie couldn't help asking.
Wait for other people to speak, Jason first said: "This is what we picked, and it has nothing to do with the old man. He only made a deal with him before he promised to send it over."
"Transaction?" Anne was stunned and asked, "Can you let me know what's going on?"
"This letter was written to you by Mr. Pierre." Nielsen stood up and handed the well-preserved letter to Annie, saying, "The letter should have written the purpose of our coming here."
Annie took the letter and opened it. The look on her face changed from relaxed to serious. After reading it, she closed the letter and looked at Leo and others with a weird look, as if to see something incredible. Just like people.
"This is not a place to talk. Let's go upstairs." Anne said nothing to her granddaughter, so that people shouldn't disturb them, and then led Leo and others up the stairs directly behind the counter. Inside the personal laboratory on the roof attic.
After closing the door, Anne signaled that everyone would sit at will, and then she sat in a chair and took the letter out and looked at it carefully. Then she sighed and said, "This old man hasn't seen each other for so long. I have such a big problem."
"If it is really difficult, we will not trouble you, Ms. Anne." Leo said with a smile: "Of course, the purple crown flower still belongs to you. After all, this is a good deal with Old Pierre, and the deal is inside. It didn't mention that you need help, it's not a violation of the transaction."
Anne heard that she looked at Leo somewhat surprised, before she just used the tall and strong Leo and the sturdy Jason as Nelson’s bodyguards or followers, thinking that the person who led the accusation of the Duke of Devin was Nelson. The young mentor of the medical school, Leo now started to realize that she was wrong.
With a trace of curiosity, Annie looked at Leo, and gradually felt the eccentric temperament of Leo that was different from others.
At first glance, Leo was very inconspicuous. When standing beside others, he would always make people subconsciously ignore him. It’s just that when you notice him, you will feel a very unique temperament in him, especially the kind of eyes that look at people, as if it is like an outsider overlooking everything in the world, full of observation and The taste of analysis gives people a feeling of being seen through all secrets.
Seeing that Anne hasn't answered for a long time, Leo and others glanced at it and decided to get up and leave.
"Wait! I didn't say I can't help." Anne knew that her behavior almost misunderstood the other party, and quickly halted the people who were about to get up, saying: "Although offending Duke Devine is a very troublesome thing, but This is Miriam City, not Winter City, or his Devin collar, so I don’t have to worry about what he will do to me. The question now is what is the chance of success in this matter?"
"It's not important for us to succeed, we just want to make Duke Devin's crimes public, and let the world know his despicable behavior." Leo casually said a politician's cliché, and heard Annie roll her eyes. .
It's just that Anne didn't continue to ask Leo about their intentions. Although she valued Catherine as a junior, she didn't plan to act as a nanny for these people who had just met, so she just intended to be a matchmaker to help Leo. She didn't care if she found someone who could really help them.
Annie thought for a moment, Shen Sheng asked: "You should have some thoughts on this matter on the road too? Come and listen."
"We do have some ideas." Leo pushed them out to discuss Nielsen, let him quickly increase his prestige in a short time, thereby speaking out the idea of increasing the right to speak.
Annie thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "This is a good way. As long as Nielsen's weight is increased, the influence will become greater, and the mainland parliament and medical school will naturally pay attention to it."
followed Leo to add some more ways to increase Nelson's reputation, and heard Annie nod again and again.
"There is also this thing in addition to the medical technical paper you said." Anne put the purple crown flower that she had given her on the table, and said, "The discoverer and digger of purple crown flower has With this addition, Nielsen’s reputation will reach a high enough level. In addition, you must remember that those trauma medical technologies are what you think of on the battlefield. You disclose these technologies to reduce the casualties of war."
With that in mind, she thought about it again and said, "You should immediately write out those papers on medical technology. It is best to go to the headquarters today to handle the matter. Then the headquarters will come forward and submit the Duke of Devin to the mainland parliament. Complaint for the internship at the Amine Gas Slaughter Academy. You must also contact the Kingdom of England embassy and submit the complaint to the mainland parliament, which can cause a sensational enough effect."
"How do I get in touch with the embassy?" Leo questioned: "It's not possible for a few of us to run directly to the embassy and tell us that we are direct experiencers of the Battle of Bretley?"
"Of course not, you need to find someone with a reputation to take you." Annie quickly filtered some names in her mind, and finally stopped on a name, and there was a smile on her face, said: "I know someone can Help you, he is also very willing to help you."
With that in mind, Anne, who was very popular, immediately asked Catherine and Nelson to complete the paper in the hospital, let Jason stay here, and she took Leo out of the hospital and stopped a convertible carriage directly on the street. An address, heading towards Xiayue Lake in the north.
In the car, Leo Ben is not a person who talks much, and Anne is not used to talking with strangers, so she can only sit quietly, the atmosphere is awkward.
However, this quiet and embarrassing atmosphere did not last for a long time. When the carriage went out from the north side street of the Red House District and began to enter a relatively small and tavern-filled street, Leo found that there was at least Seven people followed behind.
These seven people were riding horses, two of them started tracking from Annie’s hospital, and the remaining five were joined midway. They thought they were clever and constantly replaced, but they never changed that. A dress that is eye-catching and has the characteristics of a standard, it is difficult for people to find it.
"It seems that someone is looking for something!" Just as Leo was about to remind Annie, Anne took out a makeup box and pretended to be makeup, borrowed a mirror to observe the situation behind the carriage, and said: "There are seven people, They all have bayonet swords and crossbows, so they should be killers." Then, she looked at Leo with a weird face and asked, "Are you going to a place and telling you that you want to accuse Duke Dewen?" Otherwise, why did these people come home so quickly?"
In the face of Anne’s question, Leo could only smile bitterly and could not answer. It was clear that these people were not because he was going to accuse the Duke of Dewen. These people were directed at Baron Mopossant.
Although the killers of the Duke of Devin on the train did not express doubts about Leo, a resident who used to be in the same room as Baron Maupassant, he did not intend to let him go.
These people should be unable to find the whereabouts of Baron Maupassant, looking back to try to find some useful clues from his last contact with Baron Maupassant, and it seems that they should have no long-term follow-up plan and will use more direct Means to resolve this matter.
Marked these crooked killers with the spirit net, Leo began to consider how to not alarm the local police to solve these people.
While Leo was thinking about countermeasures, Annie suddenly said another address to the coachman and asked him to speed up.
The driver who was familiar with the terrain passed directly through an alley in this street. There were a lot of people in the alley. He was squeezed in by a carriage and had to be careful to avoid it. There was a curse.
Soon the carriage passed by this narrow alley. The tracker riding behind seemed to be stopped, followed the carriage along the street, and then walked through a small bridge over the water channel in the city, and turned into a forest. The Boulevard has finally stopped outside a small alley where civilians should live.
Annie got out of the carriage, led Leo into the alley, turned a few bends, came out of a tavern, and pushed the door in.
I saw that the people in the tavern seemed to know Annie, and when she came in, they raised her glasses to her.
Leo habitually observed the situation inside after he entered the door. He found that the people in this pub, whether they were bosses, waiters, or guests, were all disabled without exception. Some have missing legs, others have one eye missing, and even some people have one side of the skull missing.
If it is just a disabled person, Leo will not be too surprised. What really surprised him is that the organs lost on these people have all been replaced by various mechanical parts, making him feel whether he is back. It's time for a dedicated tavern for the mechanical transformation of Earth Federation.
Leo just passed by a man with two legs missing. This man is oiling the gears of his two mechanical legs. The power of these two mechanical legs is similar to the small steam engine used by the steam crossbow. Although it is necessary to wear thermal insulation when using it, it is better than a wheelchair.
Leo now sits in front of the bar of the pub under the direction of Annie. Next to him is a woman with a body and body, which is pretty good. With a proud body, she could have made her an object of public attention, but she The skull was missing one side, making her look very untidy.
Now, her skull is replaced with a metal skull, and a few transparent rubber tubes are inserted on the metal skull to connect a sealed box on her back.
In addition, she would fiddle with the adjustment lever on the box from time to time, and introduce some liquid from the box into the head through the tube, and she would be extremely excited at this moment.
"Lina, I said, don't use those drugs in the ordinary time, otherwise, those drugs will fail in your body, and no replacement drugs will be found at that time. When you get sick, be prepared to die!" Seeing the woman turning the adjustment lever frequently, Annie frowned and shouted at the woman.
"Got it! Got it! Just felt a little tired and refreshed just now." The woman shook her hand disapprovingly.
Annie did not say anything more when she saw this, and said to the bartender: "Come on two glasses of fire lips."
After the bartender heard it, he nodded and started bartending after the bar.
At this time, the door of the tavern was opened again. The people who had lost the target came in and saw Leo and Annie sitting at the bar, their faces looked a little annoyed, but they did not immediately start, but found Sit down at a table and ordered a few beers as the waiter passed.
After a while, the bartender put the tuned lips on the table, and the bartender on the other side put the beer on the table of those people.
"Try it! The wine here is not bad." Annie signaled to Leo.
Leo picked up the glass and swallowed the fiery red wine in the glass. The less spicy wine flowed into the body, making him feel that his stomach was burning, and his lips were a little numb. Perhaps this is why this wine is called fire lips.
However, at the moment Leo put down the cup, the people sitting around the killers suddenly raised their hands and pointed the crossbow at the killers, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The killers had not yet understood how One thing, the cup shot into a honeycomb, followed by several screams from outside the tavern, and then a few people walked in with four corpses ~EbookFREE.me~ casually on the ground.
"Thank you!" Annie thanked the bartender, then stood up and led Leo out of the bar. She picked two horses from the killer horses and rode on them, continuing to where she was going. March.
Leo neither said nor asked what happened in the bar just now, but focused on the horses below. Because it was the first time riding, he could only imitate Anne’s riding, but even if his movements were standardized, the horse under the crotch would not give face at all.
"You still give me the reins! As you ride like this, let's not think of places at night." Anne saw Leo's busy control of the horse, she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, and then controlled the horse to turn around, come When he was next to Leo, he took the reins from his hands and tied it to his saddle. He took the horse under Leo's crotch and trot forward.
Although the way of riding like Leo makes other people feel very strange, almost everyone who saw it looked at this scene with a surprised face, and then there was a burst of laughter, but in order to hurry, Leo did not What can be said is that he felt that Anne seemed to like to see him being joked and deliberately found a place with more people.
"Can't we find a place with few people?" Leo said to Anne, who was leading the way.
"I'm taking a shortcut, I can get to the place faster." Annie looked back at Leo. Although it was a serious explanation, if there was a little smile in her eyes, it might be more convincing.
Leo didn't say anything anymore, he just let it go.
However, perhaps as Anne said, they only took ten minutes to reach the shore of Xiayue Lake and stopped in front of a villa by the lake.
