Chapter 154: The Same Smell
Although the Duke of the White Boots denied that he was the pet of the first chief wizard of the Wizarding Society, some of his words and actions revealed a lot of information.
For example, its owner is very familiar with the first chief wizard, and he is extremely disdainful of it, and he must have complained a lot behind his back, so the Duke of the White Boots will be affected by it, calling the first chief wizard a bad old man, and showing extreme disgust for him.
In addition, the Duke of the White Boots should have lived in Silvermoon City before, and he didn't go to the wizarding tower of the first chief wizard, so he was very familiar with the environment there, and easily avoided the magic puppet guards there and infiltrated the treasure vault.
The last point is that the owner of the Duke of the White Boots must have coveted the treasure vault of the First Chief Wizard for a long time, and even spent a lot of time and energy researching the Wizard Tower defense of the First Chief Wizard, the location of the treasure vault traps, and so on. That's why the Duke of the White Boots was able to steal three fragments that were very important to the First Chief Wizard without alarming any alarms or traps, and even Leo felt that the Duke of the White Boots was a thief, which was also instructed by his owner.
However, in order not to frighten the Duke of the White Boots, Leo did not intend to say these analyses and speculations, but turned the topic back to the fragment in his hand, and said, "If my guess is correct, these should be the fragments of a complete wizard's strange thing, right?"
"How do you know? You've seen that thing?" the Duke of the White Boots looked surprised, looked Leo up and down, and wondered, "But you're not a wizard of the Wizarding Guild, how can you go to the First Chief Wizard's Tower?"
Leo, who was particularly sensitive, got another message from this sentence and asked, "How do you know that I am not a wizard of the Wizarding Guild?"
"Because you don't have that smell on you. The Duke of the White Boots said solemnly: "The wizards of the Wizards Guild all have a smell on their bodies, and that smell is terrible, and I don't like that smell." ”
"The smell?" Leo was puzzled for a moment, then tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, dissipated it outside his body, and asked, "Is this the smell?"
"No, it's a good smell, not a bad smell. The Duke of the White Boots was obviously able to sense a certain degree of spiritual energy through his nose, and when Leo let the spiritual energy escape from his body, he immediately noticed it, and quickly climbed onto Leo's knees, sniffed Leo's body hard, and said with an intoxicated expression: "It really smells good! It smells as good as the smell on the three chiefs of the Wizarding Association, if it weren't for your smell being too weak, I might think of you as one of them." ”
After listening to the words of the Duke of the White Boots, Leo obtained some incredible secret information.
From the words, Leo analyzed that the three chief wizards of the Wizards Association of Silvermoon City should follow the pure way of ancient wizards, although Leo himself is not a wizard, his spiritual energy should be somewhat similar to the ancient wizards of the Tower, so the Duke of White Boots will feel that the spiritual energy smell of the two is the same. As for the depth of the taste, it may be related to the psionic level, which means that Leo's psionic level should not be as good as the three chief wizards here.
Another point is that only the three chief wizards of the Wizarding Association follow the path of ancient wizards, and the other wizards should have mutated into another wizard's way like the wizards of the current Velun world, and this wizard's way makes their psionic energy mixed, and the Duke of the White Boots will find it unpleasant.
In Leo's opinion, the three chief wizards must have been intentional in hiding the true wizarding ways and causing the other wizarding towers to go on different paths, as it helped them control the other wizarding towers. The power struggle between other wizard towers is also faintly controlled by the three chief wizards behind the scenes, which can also help them consume the resources of other wizard towers and the energy of the chief wizard, so that their position is always stable.
"Do you only need these three things?" Duke White Boots seemed reluctant to talk too much about the Wizarding Guild, and after answering Leo's questions, he looked at the three fragments in Leo's hand and asked, "Why don't I convert everything else into the remains of two fog monsters?"
"No, I don't need anything else. Leo shook his head, and then said to the Duke of White Boots with a disappointed expression, "But I want to ask you to help me check something, and those two pieces of fog monster remains will be regarded as payment!"
Just thought that he might have to say goodbye to two cute fog monster wrecks, but now he suddenly had a new hope, so that the Duke of White Boots couldn't help but jump a few laps on Leo's knees, and then realized that he was rude, and quickly calmed down, and said apologetically to Leo: "I'm sorry, I was too excited just now, I hope you don't think I'm a rude elf rat." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to ask, "What do you want me to check for you?"
Leo asked in a deep voice, "Do you know about the murders and disappearances that happened in District 23 during this time?"
The Duke of the White Boots looked puzzled, tilted his head to look at Leo and said, "Why do you ask about this? Shouldn't you know best?"
"I should know best?" Leo asked, puzzled, "Why should I know best?"
"You did that?" said the Duke of the White Boots, surprised.
Leo was completely confused by the Duke of the White Boots, and he originally wanted to use the matter of finding the murderer to see how far the elven rat group led by the Duke of the White Boots could go, so that he could decide whether to let the Duke of the White Boots help find the fragment of the remains of the omega-class creature.
But he never expected that such a scene would appear, and he would become a murderer instead, so he asked: "Duke of White Boots, why are you so sure that I am the one who committed those murders?"
"The smell. The Duke of the White Boots replied quickly, realizing that he might have been mistaken, and explained, "The smell of your body is very peculiar, the same as the smell of that person, which I have never smelled before, so I remember it very clearly." When I saw you yesterday, I almost thought you were that person, so I was a little wary of you and didn't dare to appear in front of you. ”
Leo asked, "Isn't the smell on my body the same as the smell of the three chief wizards?"
The Duke of White Boots immediately explained: "Some are the same, some are different, everyone has a lot of smells, some smells are the same, some smells are different. That distinctive smell on your body is the same as the smell on that person, but now if you smell it closely, the smell on your body is a little stronger, and the difference in concentration is like ...... It's like the difference between the scent of the First Chief Wizard and the scent of yours. ”
Now Leo understands what the White Boots Duke means, the White Boots Duke has seen the murderer, but he didn't see the murderer's appearance clearly, but he just remembers that the murderer has a smell that it has never smelled before, and it just so happens that Leo has the same smell, but this smell is much stronger than the murderer, so it will be misunderstood.
"I have a unique smell similar to that person?" Leo immediately had an idea in his mind, that person was not a person from the dream world like him, because only in this way could they have a unique smell that could appear in this world.
"Can I eat those desserts?" the Duke of White Boots asked, sensing that Leo needed time to think, gesturing to the dessert on the table.
"Eat! This is for you. Leo took the dessert off and placed it in front of the Duke of the White Boots.
After eating a few bites, the Duke of White Boots said a little critically: "The cream taste is too light, very ordinary." ”
Hearing the words of the Duke of the White Boots, Leo seemed to be inspired by something, his eyes lit up, and he pondered for a while, and denied the guess just now. Because if that person is also from the Vilen world or other real worlds, then there is definitely no difference in the intensity of the smell on the two of them, and the difference is so big.
"If it's not because they're all from the real world, what else would produce a unique smell?" Leo frowned, muttering to himself, and suddenly he thought of a possibility, that is, the dream body brought to him by the Book of Nightfall, and the psionic aura brought by the dream body was also unique.
And more importantly, he thought of the judgment that suddenly arose inexplicably when he saw the corpse in the morgue of the guard bureau, if the judgment that the internal organs and kidnapping the living were for sacrifice came from the dream body, then many things would have been explained, and he could also guess that the object of the murderer's sacrifice should be the night god who created this dream world.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't wait to meet the murderer, to see if his judgment was correct, and to see if he could find out the secret about the night god from him.
Leo then asked, "Duke of the White Boots, can you find the murderer?"
"If he shows up, he can. The Duke of the White Boots said confidently after swallowing the last piece of dessert into his stomach.
Leo pushed the two pieces of high-energy matter in front of the Duke of the White Boots and said, "Then the remains of these two fog monsters will be used as a reward for this matter." ”
"Leave it to me!" the Duke of the White Boots couldn't wait to gather the high-energy substances together, and then squeaked twice at the window, and the elven rats that had been waiting there for a long time burrowed into the house, and the trained ones wrapped up the items that Leo didn't need, carried them on his back, and ran out.
In addition, there were several elven rats that obviously looked much stronger, carrying a box on their backs, running into the house, under the command of the Duke of the White Boots, carefully wrapping those pieces of high-energy substances with soft cloths, putting them in the boxes, and then running out of the room quickly with the boxes on their backs.
"I'll send my men to you as soon as I have news, and you just need to follow my men. Seeing that the things he wanted had arrived, the Duke of White Boots had no intention of staying any longer, and after saying a word to Leo, he couldn't wait for Leo to answer, so he couldn't wait to jump on the windowsill and ran out.
Seeing the Duke of White Boots leave, Leo tidied up the house, ate a little at random, and asked Sophie to take down the plate and the rest of the food, and went upstairs to the secret room to prepare the elixir of tranquility.
Because of his concentration on one thing, time passed quickly, and when the rest area on the ring was lit up, Leo had exhausted several medicinal materials used to refine the Tranquility Elixir in the medicine cabinet, making a total of five bottles of Tranquility Elixir.
It was impossible for the potion to be so small, but in the middle of the process, Leo tried to improve the prescription to see if he could pull out or weaken the side effects of the potion with the knowledge he had learned from the medicine books in the dream world in the downstairs room.
Obviously, Leo overestimated his own ability, through the data analysis and simulation operation of the auxiliary brain system, through the existing prescriptions and refining techniques, it may not be difficult to refine the medicine, but it is not as easy as he expected to improve the prescription.
At least, Leo tried a dozen times before and after, all of them failed, and in the end, he inadvertently added a little scraping debris from the ice crystals obtained from that ice world to the finished medicine, which made the side effects of the potion much less. And he only had two bottles of this potion with reduced side effects on hand, even if there were still a lot of ice crystals, which could refine more quiet elixirs, but because he didn't know if he still had the opportunity to go to that ice and snow world, he didn't want to completely consume this unique ice crystal.
As she enters the break, Sophie downstairs shakes the bell as Leo tells her to remind him that it's time. Leo, who was in the pharmacy room, heard the bell and immediately packed up his things, went downstairs, gave instructions to Sophie, and left the house and walked towards the twenty-seventh arrondissement.
Perhaps because of the hostile relationship between the two urban districts, there is no direct suspension bridge between the 23rd and 27th districts, so you can only take the 11th or 17th arrondissements next to the two urban districts to detour.
Originally, Leo was going to go to the 11th district, but after walking to the roof of the building where the suspension bridge was located, he found that the suspension bridge was sealed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
"What's going on in District Eleven?" Leo asked as he walked up to one of the city guard officers guarding the bridge and looked at the man with a pair of horns on his forehead and hooves.
The city guard officer couldn't help frowning when he saw Leo with an abnormal complexion, and there was an obvious look of disgust in his eyes, and he was about to drive the person in front of him away, but when he saw this person take out a card from his pocket, the look of disgust in his eyes and the arm that was ready to drive people away immediately retracted.
As a city guard in charge of urban security, on the first day of his appointment, he had to learn not how to deal with the most vicious gangsters, nor how to get more oil and water from the merchants in the city, but to identify the tokens and names of various aristocratic families.
Otherwise, if you inadvertently offend a big person who shouldn't be offended, the best result will be to be punished by your boss and then sent to guard the city wall, and the worst result will be that day inexplicably disappeared, and even your identity will be erased, as if this person never existed.
The city guard officer in front of Leo was very clear about all the names of the noble families, and the card in Leo's hand was the most familiar one, after all, the cards of relatives and friends of the Alcott family were very famous, so after he gave Leo a military salute, he explained in as much detail as possible what was happening in District Eleven.
