"Leo Dodd, you ......" Baron Maupassant was shocked at first after his identity was revealed, but after he saw the true face of the hidden one, the shock in his heart became even stronger, and he was speechless for a long time, until Leo walked up to him, and then he found a random sentence for some inexplicable reason, and said: "Your clothes are so ugly!"

Hearing Baron Maupassant's words, Leo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Baron Maupassant to suddenly say such a sentence. Then, he looked down at the very indecent set of clothes on his body, couldn't help laughing, and said, "This is someone else's clothes, and it really doesn't fit well." ”

Although Baron Maupassant couldn't see his expression with the mask, it was not difficult to see from the trajectory of the mask's movements that he was now taking a deep breath to calm the violent fluctuations in his heart, and then he was heard to say in as calm a tone as possible: "This is not the place to talk, let's leave first!"

After saying that, he didn't care if Leo was going to leave, so he lowered himself, lifted a corner of the door curtain, and got out.

Although Leo still wanted to stay in the tent and study the metal fragments, he finally chose to cooperate with Baron Maupassant, also lowered his body, stretched out his hand and drew a Turing root on the shadow next to him, pulled out part of the shadow, covered his body, got out of the tent, blended into the darkness, followed the route Baron Maupassant left, avoided the guards, and came to the edge of the barracks.

Then he saw Baron Maupassant standing next to a brazier and making a few gestures towards a watchtower in the barracks guard, and then led Leo directly towards the barracks, regardless of the fires in the guard zone, while the Imperial soldiers on the observation tower seemed to be blindfolded, oblivious to the figures of Baron Maupassant and Leo.

The two of them easily left the well-guarded camp and entered the woods, where Baron Maupassant did not stop, but led Leo through the woods until he crossed a hill and stopped in front of a boulder.

Baron Maupassant reached out and tapped twice on the stone, which immediately cracked a door and a staircase that extended downward, and then he led Leo to this hidden secret base.

The secret base is small in size, but the interior is detailed, with simple wooden planks separating each room for different functions, and a lamp made of a special fluorescent liquid hanging on top, which also makes the interior of the underground base not look dim.

At this moment, seven or eight people gathered in this underground base, all of them were wearing inconspicuous civilian clothes, but it was not difficult to see from their temperament that they were all battle-hardened warriors.

One of these people was a bearded man who couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after seeing the figure of Baron Maupassant, and asked: "Why did you come back so soon, aren't you ......?"

As he spoke, he soon noticed a stranger in extremely ill clothes behind Baron Maupassant, which made him immediately stop asking, and instinctively put his hand on the weapon at his waist.

The rest of the room sensed the anomaly, and all stopped what they were doing, and put their hands on the weapons beside them, ready to attack.

"Don't be nervous, it's your own person. Baron Maupassant raised his hand to signal to everyone, then handed the cylinder to the big man, and said: "File the contents and send them back to Lanxi together with the last information, the excavation work here is nearing completion, there is nothing new, and I have received information that the hound will be transferred from the north, with his ability, I am afraid that our base will not be able to be saved, so let's evacuate as soon as possible!"

"I see. The big man took the cylinder, and although he was still wary of Leo, his hand had been removed from the weapon, and the others ignored Leo.

"Follow me. Baron Maupassant said to Leo, and then led him to the innermost room.

After entering the room, Leo looked at the simple furnishings of a table and two stools in the room, and said with a smile, "Are you trying to interrogate me?"

"I don't dare. Baron Maupassant pointed to one of the chairs and motioned for Leo to sit there, then removed his hood and goggles, revealing his delicate face and signature mustache, walked to the tavern in the corner of the room, and asked, "What to drink?"

"Just give me a glass of water. Leo sat down in his chair and responded.

When Baron Maupassant heard this, he brought Leo a glass of water, and he took out a bottle of spirits that seemed to be very strong, and gave himself a glass, and then took a drink of it, and then another one, and then walked up to Leo with two glasses, put the glass in front of Leo, and sat down on the table next to Leo.

"...... are you?" asked Baron Maupassant, but changed his words halfway through, "when did you come out?"

"Yesterday. Leo replied truthfully, and then smiled, "Don't you want to know about Nine Golden Oak Street?"

Baron Maupassant shook his head and said, "Nine Golden Oak Street has been ruined, and it is useless to know your experience. ”

"Nine Golden Oak Street ruined?" Leo was surprised.

"Don't you know?" As soon as the words were spoken, Baron Maupassant realized that he had asked a stupid question, and then took a sip of wine, disguised his emotions, and said: "A month after you entered there, a fire broke out at No. 9 Golden Oak Street inexplicably, and the whole villa was burned to ashes. ”

Leo immediately questioned, "No way! There can't be a fire there, and the building can't be burned to ashes." ”

"I know that, in fact, a lot of people know it, but it happened. Baron Maupassant looked at Leo and said, "I went to see the scene after the accident, and it was indeed destroyed. ”

Leo knew that Baron Maupassant was not just about the building that had been destroyed, but that the power that had shrouded the building and the area had disappeared, and even if someone lived there again, it would not be possible for a thick fog to send the people there to the dream world.

Although Leo has not been to the scene to check on the situation, and there is no relevant evidence, he feels that the power of 9 Golden Oak Street will disappear, and it may have something to do with him.

At this time, Baron Maupassant whispered again: "I and the others thought that you would never come out again. As he spoke, he paused, and finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "What is inside Nine Golden Oak Street?"

"It's not something that can't be said," Leo didn't hide it, and said truthfully: "Nine Golden Oak Street is an entrance, and everyone who enters it will be sent to a new world, which is a world composed of gods and dreams, although I don't find much evidence now, but I think the god who created that world should be the night god, one of the ancient gods of Velon." ”

"Night God?" Baron Maupassant was also stunned by Leo's answer, he didn't expect this matter to be related to the gods, which made him not know what to ask next for a while.

Leo said indifferently: "You shouldn't be unfamiliar with the gods, wasn't there an evil god's true eye in the lake before?"

Baron Maupassant did not dwell on the old gods, dream worlds and other issues, and turned his attention to the current problem, saying: "Your question is also my question, and I would like to know the answer. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Leo was stunned and asked, "Aren't you the ones who poached the True Eye Body?"

"We?" said Baron Maupassant, looking at Leo in bewilderment.

"Persona Society. Leo voiced his previous guess.

"It's not us, we're a step late. Baron Maupassant shook his head and said, "Actually, when the accident occurred at 9 Golden Oak Street, Master Rembrandt proposed to the Society to dig up the True Eye, but when he sent someone to see it, the underground had disappeared, leaving only a lake formed by a huge pothole. ”

Hearing Baron Maupassant's words, Leo immediately noticed it and asked in a deep voice: "Listen to your words, the disappearance of the True Eye and the burning of No. 9 Golden Oak Street are very close to the time when these two events occurred. ”

"Yes. Baron Maupassant clearly knew what Leo was suspicious of, and added: "This matter has been investigated by many people, and the two are not directly related, just a coincidence." What's more, if you have the ability to dig a lake-sized hole silently, then there is no need to solve No. 9 Golden Oak Street by incineration, just dig up the entire piece of land. ”

"You have a point. Leo nodded, seemingly agreeing with Baron Maupassant's statement, but in fact he felt that there must be a connection between the two.

Leo, who just couldn't figure out the reason, could only put this matter aside for the time being, and then continue to investigate these two things after finding other suitable evidence and information.

Then he asked Baron Maupassant, "Since the lake was formed so early, you must have already explored the interior of the lake, and there must have been a lot of things at the bottom of the lake, so why did you pay attention to that lake now?"

"At that time, the Persona Society did not explore the inside of the lake, and I did not participate because I had other things to do, and I was not a formal member of the Persona Society," Baron Maupassant explained. This time, the French Empire will send a large number of people to excavate, because the excavation in the hands of one of the members fell into the hands of the President of the Royal Academy of the French Empire, and there is news that he has met with Louis and claimed that there are mysteries of ancient gods buried in it, and we don't want to ......" He paused, and said: "By the way, I forgot that you don't know much about the current situation, and we ...... with the French Empire."

Leo interrupted Baron Maupassant's narration and said, "Needless to say, I know a little bit about the situation in West France now, so it seems that you should be from the United Kingdom of France, right?"

Baron Maupassant nodded, and added, "I'm an earl now." ”

"Congratulations. Leo congratulated him with some blandness.

I don't know why both parties lost interest in talking at this time, and the room became quiet, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Eventually, the Count of Maupassant broke the silence and said, "Wait, I'll change my clothes." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left the room and went to the single bedroom next door.

Because each room is separated by wooden planks, there is almost no isolation effect on sound, even ordinary people can hear the sound of the next room, not to mention that Leo's hearing feels an extraordinary improvement, and the sound heard is extremely clear.

In the process of changing clothes, the Count of Maupassant also changed back to Sylvia Belmont, and seemed to be in a very good mood at the moment, humming a light song while changing clothes. And her actions obviously caught the attention of others outside the cubicle, who couldn't help but gather together and whisper what had happened to her, even though they were in awe of Sylvia.

When the sound of changing clothes in the cubicle died down, Sylvia walked out of the cubicle, and the people who saw Sylvia dressed up first couldn't help but hold their breath, and Leo, who was already prepared, couldn't help but be a little distracted when he saw Sylvia after the door of the room was opened.

Leo had seen the Lady of the Lake in the dream world, although it is not a matter of whether the Lady of the Lake is considered a Lady of the Lake in the Veron World, but her appearance is definitely the appearance of a goddess in anyone's mind, and now the Sylvia that Leo has seen also gives him the same feeling, at least standing with the Lady of the Lake, her appearance and temperament are definitely not inferior.

"You're as good as the Lady of the Lake!" Leo said honestly, recovering from his senses.

"Thank you for the compliment. Sylvia thought it was Leo's compliment, and smiled happily.

"I'm not complimenting you. Leo knew exactly what Sylvia was thinking, so he slightly accentuated the tone of some words, and said, "I'm telling the truth, your current appearance and temperament are really comparable to the lady of the lake." ”

Sylvia was stunned, quickly remembering something from Leo's accentuated words, turned to close the door, and drew several circles with her fingers on a metal plate engraved with Turing roots next to the door, causing the psionic energy in the metal card to spread and envelop the room.

For the women of the world of Velon, the lady in the lake is the object of every lady's longing, and all kinds of legends about the lady in the lake have become pillow stories about the trivial things of women in the world of Velon, and Sylvia is naturally no exception. When she heard Leo say that she had seen the Lady of the Lake, she did not suspect Leo of lying, but asked curiously like a little girl, "Have you seen the Lady of the Lake, is it really the Lady of the Lake?"

Leo satisfied Sylvia's curiosity and said, "I did see the Lady of the Lake there, but the Lady of the Lake and the legendary Lady of the Lake in the world of Veron are not the same, and I guess it should be the projection of the Lady of the Lake in the dream." ”
