Chapter Eighty-Eight: Sylvia's Decision

In Miria City, the Civilian District is just a conceptual umbrella term, and there is no special urban area for low-income, low-status civilians to live in.

Most of the civilian areas are part of the residential area designated by each different urban district for low-income civilians who work in their own urban area, so there is no civilian area in Miria City, but there are civilian areas all over Miria City, and even some residential areas in the administrative area are dedicated to all kinds of cleaners.

The people who live in the civilian area are not necessarily poor, and some freedmen who own certain properties will also be arranged to live here, as in all countries on the continent of Velon, and the discrimination of freedmen still exists in the city.

It's just that the discrimination against freedmen here is slightly better than in some other cities, which have been enacted in a series of laws. There was no law that was harmful to the freemen, nor was there any compulsory restriction of the freedoms of the freemen, but there were only some implicit discriminations, such as a slightly worse working condition, a slightly heavier tax, and absolutely no such thing as the inaccessibility of certain urban areas.

It is precisely because of all kinds of unfair treatment that the freedmen have also become very united, and many freedmen from the same ethnic group will try their best to occupy an entire block of houses, and then turn the whole block into a freedman block, so that the freedmen can get the same treatment as ordinary citizens in this block.

The place where Leo is going now is a freedfolk neighborhood, and the largest freedfolk neighborhood in all of Miria.

Torch Street is located at the edge of the Embassy City of the United States and Canada, originally a large freeman businessman William bought half of the land in this block, specifically to build an apartment building for freedmen, and later freedmen from all over the world gathered here, and many freemen businessmen also spontaneously bought the land to build apartment buildings, and gradually formed a large block composed of freeman apartment buildings.

Number 333 was Leo's destination, but the carriage stopped at the northwest entrance to Torch Street, and the coachman said he would not enter the neighborhood because he was a citizen of Miria City.

Although Leo didn't like this kind of implicit discrimination, he couldn't force people into it, so he got out of the car at the corner of the street and walked alone towards the depths of Torch Street.

It didn't take two steps before trouble came, and the cause of the trouble might have been his overly formal tuxedo and top hat, after all, such a gentlemanly man should not be in a place like Torch Street, and such a suit was almost equivalent to shouting to someone, "Come and rob me!"

Seeing this group of thugs surrounding, Leo took off his coat, put his hat aside, and then rolled up his sleeves, since he didn't intend to say anything to those thugs, nor did he plan to let those thugs speak, he rushed out directly, punched and kicked, and ended the fight in a minute, all that was left was a group of thugs lying on the ground and moaning.

Resting his coat on his arm and picking up his hat, Leo shouted into an alley not far away, "Don't you think it's naΓ―ve for you to behave like this?" Miss Belmont. ”

As his words fell, I saw Belmont, who had changed into a leather trench coat, walk out of the alley, walked over with a dissatisfied face, and said to the group of gangsters on the ground: "I told you guys to learn more things, otherwise they will ......"

"Otherwise, they're all dead. Leo looked at Sylvia indifferently and said, "As long as I feel the slightest threat just now, I will kill them, and I will never let them live, you should be glad that they are not capable enough." Then he frowned and said, "I'm curious, what on earth do I make you think these bastards alone can teach me a lesson?"

"Hmph, follow me. Sylvia didn't give Leo an answer, just snorted coldly, and then turned around and led the way, into the alley where she had walked out before, into the backyard of an apartment building, opened the door to the basement, walked in, pulled an inconspicuous little rope on the wall, and a mechanical sound came out, and then saw a wall open like a door, revealing a very spacious and clean sewer.

Seeing this, Leo asked, "Isn't your hiding place number 333?"

Sylvia glanced at Leo and asked rhetorically, "Will you give the address of your hiding place to the person you have only met just now when you are being hunted down?"

Leo was stunned for a moment, then quickly figured it out and said, "You're using me as bait." ”

Sylvia didn't deny it, she led the way with an oil lamp, and said with regret: "It's a pity that those guys didn't show up." ”

Leo said with an indifferent expression: "It is indeed impossible, the people you are waiting for are all buried in the ground now. ”

"What did you do?" asked Sylvia, who paused, turned her head in surprise.

"No, Lady Anne did it. Leo deliberately mentioned Anne and looked at Sylvia's expression.

Sure enough, after hearing Anne's name, the expression on Sylvia's face became extremely ugly, as if she had eaten a fly, and she didn't want to say anything more.

Leo was pretty sure that Sylvia had suffered a loss to Anne, and that she had suffered a big loss, but what puzzled him was that Anne seemed to have suffered a loss when she mentioned Sylvia.

Soon the two came to a shaft with a staircase, Sylvia hung the oil lamp on her waist, grabbed the stairs and climbed up, opened the manhole cover above, signaled that Leo below could come up, and when Leo came up, she closed the manhole cover, locked it, and covered a pile of cargo boxes on it.

"Isn't this Torch Street?" said Leo as he looked at the marble walls around him.

"This is the Sky Tower of the American Galicans, and I have done the Church of the Lord of the Sky a great favor before, so I can have a permanent private room in each of their Sky Lord sanctuaries. Sylvia led Leo out of the cellar, up a flight of hanging stairs, to a huge cloister with a top ten feet high, and led him to the room on one side of the cloister.

After entering the room, Leo felt what luxury was, all kinds of rare animal skins were placed on the ground as carpets, and the tapestries around were also hand-woven, and they were inlaid with a large number of precious stones, any of which could be sold for at least tens of thousands of gold flanges when placed outside. In addition, the furniture and utensils in the room are all gold and silver, and they are also inlaid with various gemstones, which is extremely luxurious.

"All of this is yours?" asked Leo.

Sylvia looked arrogant and said, "Yes, they were all sent by the Sky Lord Church, I don't want them, and I can't push away other people's gifts, so I put them all in the room of the Sky Lord Sanctuary." So saying, he pointed to the carpet of animal skin on the ground, and said, "Sit down and drink something." ”

"No need!" Leo wasn't prepared to stay here for long, so he got straight to the point, "We're still going to do what we said before......"

Before Leo could finish speaking, Sylvia smiled and said, "The ledger is in your hands, and it is a scourge for you, so you want to throw it to me." Right?"

"Yes, that's exactly what I think. Now that he was seen through, Leo didn't quibble, nodded in acknowledgement, and said directly: "But you can't deny that the ledger is important to you, isn't it?"

Sylvia couldn't help frowning when she saw that Leo didn't react as expected, but quickly returned to normal and said, "The ledger is important, but it's not as important as you expected. ”

"In that case, forget it, when I haven't said anything. Leo didn't play his cards at all, ended the conversation very directly, and turned around to leave.

"Wait!, why don't you know how to negotiate at all?" Sylvia hurriedly stopped Leo, and then complained, and she almost knew Leo's character at the moment, so she didn't follow the nobleman's negotiation method, but said directly: "I can't give you the information of the old man, if you want it, you can only ask the old man, presumably other people should have said it." Although I can't provide what you want, I still want the ledger, you can make the conditions!"

Leo was silent for a moment, as if considering what to offer.

Sylvia saw that Leo hadn't made a decision for a long time, and couldn't help but say impatiently: "Is it so difficult to make a condition?"

Leo suddenly remembered Silvermoon Castle, remembered the location of Silvermoon Tower, and then remembered the tide of psionic energy, and he vaguely felt that these might be related to No. 9 Golden Oak Street, maybe this was the reason why the old man asked him to go to Silvermoon Castle.

So he said, "I want all the information about the Silvermoon Tower in Silvermoon Castle, and these materials must include the people in the tower. ”

Sylvia was slightly stunned, looked at Leo with a little surprise, and said, "When I first saw you, I felt that you were a little unusual, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Now I understand that you are also from the Dark World, a night watchman, a black market, or a Persona Society...... You know Anne, and you can still be appreciated by that person, it must be someone from the Persona Society in the Kingdom of England, I guess right?"

Seeing Sylvia making her own guesses, Leo just listened from the sidelines, neither admitting nor denying it. It was only a few words, but he had already provided Leo with a lot of information, and that was that he had been able to determine that Anne and the old man were from the Persona Society.

"That's not right!" Sylvia suddenly shook her head again and said, "If you are a member of the Persona Association, why do you want to ask me for information about the Silvermoon Tower?" the Silvermoon Tower itself was built by the members of your Persona Society, although there is no attribution problem between the members of your Association, but it is ...... to trade some knowledge" Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped, looked at Leo with a wary face, and said, "Are you tricking me?"

"I didn't say anything," Leo said calmly, looking at Sylvia, "and you said everything." ”

"You ......" Sylvia was so blocked that she couldn't speak, she felt like she had met a natural enemy and a nemesis in front of Leo, and she couldn't take advantage of it at all. After taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the rising anger, she said to Leo with a cold face: "Tomorrow afternoon, you come here, and I will hand over the sorted materials to you." ”

"It's fine. I'll bring the ledger tomorrow afternoon, too. Leo nodded, and without staying any longer, turned and walked out of the room, walking down the huge corridor towards the Sky Tower.

Not long after Leo left, a hide was lifted from Sylvia's room, revealing a secret door to the skin, and out of it came a blind old woman wearing the robes of the Lord of the Sky.

"Lady Hannah, is there something wrong with that person?" asked Sylvia, helping the old woman to sit down on a leather cushion beside her.

The old woman said, "No problem, no problem at all, just like a normal person." ”

"Is there no problem?" Sylvia frowned, obviously the answer was not what she expected, and she couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that I felt wrong on the train, and that momentum on his body didn't come from the evil god?"

The old woman didn't wait for Sylvia to think nonsense, and added, "There is no problem, but it is the biggest problem." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Sylvia said in a daze.

"Can't you hear that?" the old woman smiled and teased, "Sheeny, how is it that after the young man came, your wisdom has dropped so much, not only did you say the wrong thing, but you also couldn't hear the simple meaning of my words?"

Sylvia was stunned, carefully recalled the old woman's words, and suddenly said, "You mean that in your Sky Eye observation, he is also an ordinary person. ”

"Your wisdom has finally returned. The old woman nodded, and teased again.

Sylvia pursed her lips, and she couldn't do anything about the old woman's taste for teasing herself.

"What am I going to do?" asked Sylvia in a deep voice.

"Sheaney, this doesn't look like you're who you are. The old woman was also a little surprised by Sylvia's inquiry, and said, "You didn't seem so hesitant in the past, that man seems very special." ”

Sylvia heard the old woman's words, the expression on her face gradually became serious, she recalled the only few meetings with Leo in her mind, and realized that there seemed to be something really wrong with her mentality, and there were some changes subtly, and this silent change made her feel terrified.

"I know how to do it. After pondering for a moment, Sylvia became very serious and said, "I will carefully investigate whether he has anything to do with the evil god, and once the investigation is clear, I will personally deal with him." ”

When the old woman heard Sylvia's decision, she shook her head slightly, obviously dissatisfied with it, but she didn't say anything, just as a quiet observer.
