"Where are you going?" asked Sylvia, looking at the situation in front of her.

"I'll go over there!" Leo said, gesturing to the crowd gathered in a small garden in a corner.

"Okay!" Sylvia nodded, snatching a cheap-looking glass from the waiter passing by, and strode towards the people at the bottom of Lanxi's inner city.

Sylvia has been working as a spy for many years, and knows very well what to do in front of whom, although she is obviously not dressed in the same way as those of the low-level people, but when she walks into the crowd with the cheap wine, she easily blends in with those people and talks very easily.

Leo also walked towards the small garden where the scholars had gathered.

Leo's arrival didn't cause much reaction in the crowd, and only a few people paid a slight attention to him, but had no intention of coming up to talk to him.

The people in this small garden were very cautious about the others, each occupying a position, and no one who was particularly familiar with him would not talk, and Leo was a new face that no one touched, and everyone kept a distance from him.

Leo did not show any impatience in this regard, and appeared very calm, and while drinking the wine in his glass, he walked to a statue of the victim in the middle of the small garden, and carefully studied every detail of the statue.

This stone statue, which was very ordinary in the eyes of others, was not ordinary in Leo's eyes at all, he felt the energy fluctuations emanating from the statue for the first time when he came here, and he could also clearly feel the breath of life emanating from the statue.

The breath of life emanating from a stone statue reminded Leo of the legend of gargoyles in the world of Velon.

In those legends, without exception, it is said that there is a certain magical race, which is a special intelligent life, which will turn into stone statues during the day, and at night will take on the form of normal people to hunt humans.

However, in the eyes of those who know all kinds of mysterious things in the underworld, the so-called gargoyles do not exist at all, and the closest thing to gargoyles is some stone golems left by tower wizards around the world, and these stone golems have long been damaged after the tower wizard disappeared, and they have long been damaged after they lost their daily maintenance, so some people speculate that the so-called gargoyles may be stone golems that were inadvertently triggered.

Now, however, Leo could sense that the statue of the victim in front of him was a living thing, not a stone golem or some other supernatural thing.

Leo thought about it for a moment, and tried to use the spirit net to check the situation inside the statue, his movements were very careful, little by little to control the spirit net to extend outward, sensing the reactions around him, and as soon as something was slightly wrong, he would immediately disperse it.

When he entered Lanxi City, Leo didn't use the spirit net anymore, because he could feel that if he used the spirit net, it would inevitably cause some bad things, so he never used the spirit net.

But after coming here, he felt that the feeling of surveillance disappeared, and he could feel that there were a large number of extraordinary items that emitted various energy fluctuations and people who possessed extraordinary powers, and it was supposed that the Church of the Afflicted had been given some kind of privilege, and Lan Xi City let go of the surveillance of the extraordinary powers here.

As he guessed, when he used the spirit net, the sense of crisis did not appear, which also made him put his mind at ease and began to infiltrate the spirit net towards the statue.

"A statue worth pondering, isn't it?" However, just as the spirit net was about to make contact with the statue, a somewhat hoarse but magnetic female voice sounded beside him.

Hearing this, Leo frowned, he realized that before the voice appeared, he didn't even feel anyone approaching. So he withdrew his spiritual net and looked at the visitor beside him.

When he saw this woman, Leo couldn't help but be stunned, because he saw a completely different Sylvia.

Although this woman and Sylvia's face is almost identical, the overall temperament is completely different, Sylvia looks more beautiful, while the woman in front of her looks more cold, if you want to describe it more specifically, then Sylvia is like a witch, and the woman in front of her is more like a saint.

"We know each other?" the woman asked as soon as she saw Leo's surprised expression.

"I don't know. Leo shook his head, and the afterglow of his gaze passed past the woman, landing on Sylvia, who was not far away talking to some of the low-level people attending the banquet, apparently this woman did not notice Sylvia's existence, otherwise he would not have behaved so calmly.

"Shiverne Belmont, Bishop of the Church of the Afflicted. The woman politely and simply introduced herself.

"Leo Dodd, Bachelor of Occultism. Leo also responded, and then thoughtfully muttered the other party's name, and said, "Xivinie?"

In the accent of the Francondo region, Sylvia's abbreviation is Sylvia, and although Belmont Manor is not in the Porto area, according to Sylvia's description, his family's living habits and daily language are similar to those of the people in the Porto area, and from this point of view, the other party's name is the same as Sylvia.

With the same looks, the same name, and the same surname, no matter how you look at the woman in front of you and Sylvia, they have an extraordinary relationship, which makes Leo can't help but look at Sylvia again.

Sylvestrie Belmont was also keenly aware of Leo's gaze, but she didn't look back, because she knew that Leo also had a companion with her, in fact, the two invitations were actually sent by her, and they were also invited by Leo, but her original intention was to invite Leo alone, and Sylvia was attached, and even Sylvia's invitation was written by someone else, otherwise she would definitely find out that Sylvia's name was wrong.

The bishop of the Church of the Victims has a very high status in the Church of the Afflicted, but not many people know and know her, and most people only know that she has such a position as the Bishop of the Secret Gospel, and they are not very clear about who holds this position, which makes her appear at the banquet held by the Church of the Victims without attracting anyone's attention.

A figure like Sylvestrine Belmont, who has a certain status both within the Church of the Afflicted and in the upper echelons of the inner city of Lancy, would be interested in Leo as an unfamiliar Bachelor of Occultism, and even personally sent an invitation to invite him to the banquet, mainly because Leo's previous performance in the general library aroused her curiosity and interest.

When Leo recorded the genealogies of those ancient bloodlines in the library, he analyzed the languages used in those genealogies and the local languages of Lanxi, etc., and in the process of analysis, he also left a lot of analysis drafts, and when he came to open the library, he did not destroy those drafts, nor did he take them away, and in his eyes those drafts had no value.

However, the value of these drafts in the eyes of others was extraordinary, and the library attendant in charge of the area found the drafts at the time, confirmed the value of the drafts, and immediately handed them over to Shiverne Belmont, who was also in the general library at the time.

Sylverie Belmont happened to have a tricky matter at hand and was in a bottleneck, she needed a very good advanced bachelor of linguistics and occultism, and she herself did not want to go to the academy for help, Leo's appearance was just the talent she needed, and judging from the analysis draft left by Leo, Leo had a lot of attainments in linguistics and occultism, and was fully qualified for this task.

Now all it has to do is see if the other person is really as good as those analytical drafts, or if those drafts are just a flash in the pan.

Severnie Belmont couldn't help frowning as she watched Leo chanting her name, obviously disgusted by this behavior, but she still allowed herself to calm down and said, "Mr. Leo seems to know me, but I don't have any impression of you, Mr. Leo. ”

"Is there anything wrong with you? Leo didn't answer the other party's words, but asked bluntly.

Xiweni Belmont didn't like Leo's tone very much, but she didn't say anything, and replied directly: "I know that Mr. Leo has very strong language analysis skills, and can analyze and decipher dozens of languages in a short period of time, so I hope that Mr. Leo can join my team and help us solve some problems." Of course, Mr. Leo, the number of your commissions will definitely satisfy you. ”

"Can you tell me what the problem is?" Leo asked tentatively, instead of agreeing immediately.

"It's a book, a very special book. Shivernie Belmont didn't elaborate, but simply responded.

Leo instantly had two books in his mind at this time, one was the knowledge of the Thirteen Ancient Gods of the Madman that Alice Belmont had read before she disappeared, and the other was the book written by the Guran mentioned by the humanoid scholar who met in the public area earlier.

Just as Leo was about to say something, Sylvia, who had noticed the situation here, didn't know if she had already known what she wanted to know from the mouths of those people at the bottom, or if she was interested in Shiverie Belmont, who was talking to Leo, so she confessed to the people around her, and then changed a glass of wine and walked over to Leo, and asked Leo, "Leo, is this a missionary from the Church of the Sufferers?"

As she spoke, she looked at the woman next to her, who was about the same height and figure as herself, and Xiweni was also attracted by Sylvia's voice at this time, and also turned her head to look at the side, and the eyes of the two fell on each other at this moment, and the two of them also showed shocked expressions.

Seeing the interesting situation in front of him, Leo didn't bother, but stood aside with a smile, waiting for the two women in front of him to react on their own.

Both women were no ordinary women, and they quickly recovered from each other's shock, and then asked in unison, "Who are you?"

This scene made Leo on the side couldn't help but laugh, and the two women glared at Leo almost in annoyance at the same time, blaming Leo for laughing out of place.

Faced with this situation, Leo could only shrug his shoulders, take a few steps back, and leave the matter to the two women to solve on their own.

"Sylvia Belmont. ”

"Shivernie Belmont. ”

When the two women refocused their gaze on each other, they said their names almost simultaneously.

The overlapping reaction again made the two women feel a little weird, frowned, and motioned to the other party to speak first.

Under Sylvia's strong hint, Sylvia Belmont was no longer polite, and said bluntly: "I have never seen you in the family, nor have I heard the name Sylvia, which line of Belmont are you?"

"I don't belong to any part of the city, Belmont. Sylvia replied vaguely.

Faced with this answer, Shiverne Belmont seemed to have some misunderstanding, and showed a sudden expression, and said, "Oh! So you are a descendant of the Vault Dweller. ”

This sentence gave both Sylvia and Leo a message that the Belmont family here had experienced a split, and the loser of that split was banished.

Faced with the other party's clever guess, Sylvia didn't answer anything, just looked at the other party with a smile.

Severne Belmont can become the top of the Church of the Afflicted, which shows that her intelligence should be very extraordinary, but it is a pity that she is facing a disguise master and secret agent like Sylvia, who does not need too many words, only a slight change in expression, which is enough to make the other party think.

Shiverne Belmont looked at the look on Sylvia's face, made a guess, and said in a deep voice, "You Vault Dwellers don't seem to be giving up, and you still have hope in that thing. ”

"I'm just a member of the Bachelor's Club. Sylvia said to herself as if she hadn't heard what the other party said.

"Bachelor? Looks like you're trying to get your hands on that thing by becoming an advanced bachelor. Severie Belmont made another assumption of his assumption, then turned her gaze to Leo, looked at Leo very formally, and said, "Is he the pawn you pushed out?" I don't think you're going to succeed, but you at least know how to use your brains, not just brute force like before. As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and said, "Why don't we make a deal!"

"What deal?" asked Sylvia.

Shiverne Belmont smiled and said, "Let him join one of our church's book compilations, and as long as he can finish compiling it, then I can try to get you access to it." ”

"Hmph!" Sylvia raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "Do you think this trade is fair?"
