The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Lyon, you are the envy of the young people in Port of Scitech now." When doubts arose, Leo closed the book in his hand, and suddenly said to Leon Larson, who was a little absent-minded.

"Ah?" Leon Larson hadn't recovered yet, and couldn't understand what Leo meant when he said this.

Leo said in a joking tone: "Being able to marry a wealthy female nobleman not only solves the family's debts, but also leads a prosperous life. Isn't this kind of thing enviable by others?"

"Haha! Haha!" Leon Larson showed an ugly smile and responded vaguely.

Leo deliberately changed the topic, and said, "Leon, you don't seem happy?"

"I... well, you better stop asking." Leon Larson wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.

"What's the matter?" Leo asked with a concerned look.

Leon Larson hesitated for a moment, looked at Leo, and felt that Leo should be a trustworthy person, and because of the secrets in his heart, he was under a lot of pressure recently, and he needed someone to confide in, so he He is going to tell Leo what he knows, and maybe he can get some help from Leo.

"Leo, you believe that there are some indescribable things in this world..." Leon Larson couldn't find the right words to describe the things in his mind for a while, and it took a long time before he said: "Things, some indescribable things... Do you believe that there are things in this world?"

Hearing Leon Larson's slightly incoherent words, Leo could feel that Leon Larson was very nervous at the moment, so he followed the other person's words and said, "Believe it, after all, our understanding of this world is still Few, like the wasteland is still filled with countless locations."

Hearing Leo's words, Leon Larson nodded as if meeting a confidant, and then took the initiative to come forward, wanting to tell what he knew, but just when he was about to speak, the door of the library opened But it was opened, and then a woman wearing a white pleated skirt and a white gauze hat walked in.

Although this woman's face was blocked by the white gauze, she could still see the rough outline of the other person's face through the gaps in the gauze. , Sylvia poor.

And Leo compared this woman with Su and Sylvia not only because of her appearance, but more because of her strength. The moment this woman appeared, Leo could already be sure that this woman was a witch.

Leo doesn't know what this woman's ability is, but he can be sure of one thing, that is, his mental network can't perceive this woman, even if this woman is standing in front of him now, he can hear the other party's breath and breath through supernormal perception. His heart beat, but the spirit network told him that there was nothing in front of him.

It was precisely because the other party was able to completely disable his mental network that the other party was able to walk outside the library without a sound.

"Leon, don't you want to introduce your friend?" The woman walked up to the two of them, looked at Leo, and then asked Leon.

If you don't look at Leon Larson's expression, but judging from the woman's voice, this woman definitely gives the impression of a gentle woman, but to Leon Larson, such a gentle voice is like It was like the most powerful spell in the world, so he had to hold onto the bookcase next to him to stand still and not let himself collapse on the ground.

At this moment, Leon Larson didn't dare to look up at the woman, lowered his head a little rudely, and introduced: "This is Mr. Leo Dodd, the boss of the United Machinery Company, and one of the few friends I have here. .”

"Leo Dodd?" The woman froze when she heard Leo's name, she seemed to know Leo's identity, then she stretched out her white-gloved hand to Leo and said, "Nice to meet you, Leo Mr. O. Dodd, I am Berenchina Pugins, wife of Leon."

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Larson." Leo shook the other's hand lightly, and then let go.

Berenchina Pukins smiled and said, "You should call me Mrs. Pukins! Leon and I haven't held a formal wedding in the Kingdom of England. According to the marriage law of the Kingdom of England, we are not counted here. couple."

Leo smiled and said, "I think Leon will definitely be willing to give you a grand wedding."

"I hope so!" Berenchina Pukins obviously didn't care about the wedding, and then she turned to Leon Larson and said, "I've got dinner ready in the kitchen, and I'll send it to you later." Come here, remember to eat, and don’t read too late at night, don’t forget that we have other things to do tomorrow.”

"Okay, I see." Facing this beautiful woman with a tender voice, Leon Larson still didn't even dare to lift his head, and replied in a low voice.

Berenchina had already achieved her purpose of coming here, so she had no intention of staying any longer, so she turned and walked out of the library.

After Berenchina left, Leon no longer had the idea of ​​continuing the topic with Leo. After vaguely responding to Leo, he could lead the topic to the surrounding books. Afterwards, when the food was delivered, he didn't have any appetite at all and ate up the few kinds of food that Berenzina had prepared for him without hesitation.

Seeing Leon Larson's performance, Leo could possibly be that Berenzina Pukins has completely controlled Leon's words and deeds. After Berenchina warned with hints, no matter how much Leon trusted Leo, I'm afraid he won't tell the secret he knows in his heart.

However, Leo didn't intend to continue asking, because he knew very well that there would be no answer if he asked, so it would be better to wait for the other party to come to him on his own initiative.

Although Berenchina's face was covered by a veil, and her expression changed into a smile, Leo could still sense from the heartbeat of the other party that the other party should already know her identity. As for how he knew, Leo didn't think too much about it. It is nothing more than some information from inside the Witch Group, or from the black market, etc.

Therefore, the other party should be very clear that if she has malicious intentions towards Leon and wants to attack Leon, then she will definitely not be able to bypass Leo, who is in the way, so as long as Leo is fine, then Leon will also be fine.

So, after dark, Leo asked Leo if he could stay in the library for a few days, and Leo might feel that he would be safer if he had a companion, so he immediately agreed to Leo's request. If urged, he might stay in the library instead of going back to the main house.

After Leon left, Leo still didn't rest, and continued to browse through other books that he hadn't finished. He didn't know how long it took. Leo finished reading most of the books on the second floor. The continuous high-intensity memory made him He's a little mentally exhausted, so he needs to stop and rest and refresh himself.

But when he turned around and was about to go down the spiral staircase, he found that there was an extra person in the library at some point. This person was sitting in the middle reading area, randomly flipping through the books on the table. Larson's new wife, Berenchina Pugins.

Seeing Berenchina, Leo was slightly taken aback, but soon returned to normal. After all, he already had an understanding of Berenchina's ability, and it was not a big deal that his mental network didn't find her.

Seeing Leo walking down the spiral staircase, Berenchina stood up from her seat, took off the veil on her face, revealed a mature and beautiful face, and said to Leo: "Leo Dodd , your reputation is not small in our small circle!"

"Is my reputation great?" Leo asked rhetorically, as if talking to an old acquaintance.

Berenchina smiled and said: "I don't know much about other places, but in the small circle of the witch troupe, your reputation is not small. After all, any man who can make Sylvia favor will make people curious, and even more so." What's more, even the proud Su has been full of praise for you recently, making us sisters even more curious about what kind of man you are."

Leo asked slightly frivolously: "Now that you see it, what kind of man do you think I am?"

Berenchina smiled and did not answer, then she took off her gloves, stretched out to Leo, and said, "Let me introduce myself again, I am Berenchina Pukins, the singer of the Witch Troupe, nice to meet you, Mr. Leo Dodd."

Leo Dodd looked at the hand extended by the other party and said, "Although I really want to be kind to you, lady, I don't think it's a good idea to hold your hand."

"I didn't expect Leo Dodd to be a coward who wouldn't even dare to hold a woman's hand." Berenchina withdrew her hand, put on the gloves again, and looked at Leo with disdain.

Leo didn't care about the attitude of the other party, and said directly: "The reputation of the chant is not good in the dark world. I don't want to be your next prey."

As Leo said, Chanter is very famous in the dark world, and can be said to be the most famous among the witch troupe. The reason why she is so famous is mainly because of her other nickname Kingslayer.

According to records, Chant killed at least five kings and grand dukes, and was regarded as a deadly enemy by the entire Velen aristocratic circle. The reward on her body was almost the same as that of Emperor Faran. But even with so many rewards, no one can remember the identity and appearance of the chanter, and they don't even know whether the other party is a man or a woman.

Leo was not very clear about the ability of the woman in front of him, but the woman took off her gloves, which could explain in disguise that her ability was related to her hands.

However, this may also be a deliberate disguise by Berenzina, in order to let Leo focus on her hands, so as to ignore the real source of power on her body.

"I have a question for Mr. Leo," Berenchina asked bluntly, "You really came to Larson Manor today just to read these books."

"Of course, I'm here today just for these books."

Leo didn't intend to lie, and he answered truthfully, and Berenchina was a little relieved when she got the answer, but soon Leo's next words made her feel a little nervous again.

I saw Leo said: "But after seeing you, lady, I think it is necessary to do something."

"What do you mean?" Berenchina frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Leo said in a slightly threatening tone: "Lyon is my friend. He opened the library to me free of charge. I am very grateful, so I don't want him to be hurt because of some people."

"Hurting Leon?" Berenchina looked blank, and then said with some annoyance: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I hurt Leon? Why do you say that I will hurt him?"

"I don't know if you will hurt him, I just know that he is very afraid of you and your people." Leo looked at the other party's expression, and felt that the other party did not seem to be lying, so he added: "As far as I know , he seems to know the real appearance of your housekeeper."

"What?" Berenchina was taken aback when she heard the words, followed by a dazed look on her face, and muttered to herself, "So that's the case, no wonder he has been avoiding me these days, and even lowered himself when he saw me." For starters, I thought he was angry with me because I let people restore the manor without authorization, but it turned out that he saw the old Baker."

Hearing Berenchina talking to herself, Leo could feel that the other party was not lying, and he could also hear that the other party had no malice towards Leon.

"Don't worry, I don't have any malice towards Leon." Berenchina, who solved her doubts, said to Leo with a very formal look: "This time I was able to leave the Marris Kingdom smoothly because of Leon's help, and now I just Borrow the identity of Lyon's new wife, live here for a while, and when the outside limelight subsides, I will go to Mozambique."

Leo frowned and asked, "Where is Leon? You have gone to Mozambique, Leon..."

"Lyon? You may have misunderstood me. Leon and I are not real husband and wife, and Leon is well aware of this," Berenchina smiled and said, "And Leon doesn't suffer from this matter. I paid him back all the money. I helped him restore the manor, and before I leave, I will leave a large amount of wealth that will allow him to spend the rest of his life in peace, so you don't have to worry about Leon at all."

"I hope you can do what you say, ma'am." Leo didn't fully believe the other party's words.

Berenchina didn't care about Leo's tone, but instead asked Leo with interest: "You should have received Sylvia's letter, right?"

Leo looked at the other party with scrutiny, and asked, "Do you know that Sylvia wrote to me?"

Berenchina smiled, and said: "In fact, recently, every member of the witch group will write letters to the people she trusts and thinks are the most reliable, including me."

"Why?" Leo asked.

"Don't worry, she will tell you when you go to see Sylvia." Berenchina looked at Leo meaningfully and said, "However, I have a suggestion for you, go to Sylvia Before Via, it's a hard job to prepare all the useful things!"
