"Guess!" Baron Maupassant looked at Leo with great interest as the look of surprise on his face had not subsided, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of frightening people.

It's a pity that Leo has no interest in playing this guess game with her or him, so he glanced at her coldly, then ignored the other party and put his eyes back on the newspaper in his hand.

However, Baron Maupassant did not intend to let go of such an interesting person as Leo, she stepped forward, squeezed Leo's arms with her fullness, deliberately opened the placket, and said to Leo: "Why don't you reach in and touch it, so that you will know the truth or not!"

Originally, Baron Maupassant just wanted to tease Leo to see if he could show embarrassment. But she couldn't have imagined that Leo was a person who didn't play cards according to the rules, and as soon as her words fell, she didn't hesitate to put her hand in, and then grabbed it, pulled it out, and said expressionlessly: "It feels good, thank you!"

This time it was Baron Maupassant's turn to be stunned, and looked at Leo blankly, as if he was frozen.

At this time, a member of the staff of the building hurriedly looked for something in the hall outside the reception room, and when he saw Baron Maupassant, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly, saluted Baron Maupassant, and said, "Miss Sylvia, Mr. Speaker has now made time to meet with you." ”

Baron Maupassant also returned to normal at this time, the expression on his face became very cold, and the rosiness on his cheeks did not know whether it was due to shame or anger, and motioned to the staff to lead the way, then got up and tilted his head, like a proud peacock, and walked out of the reception room, ignoring Leo again in the whole process.

"It's a terrible offense. Leo didn't look up, looked at the newspaper, smiled wryly and muttered to himself, and then a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and muttered, "Is she really a woman?"

This little episode did not have any effect on Leo, and he did not take it to heart, and continued to look at the newspaper in his hand, and it didn't take long for Jason, who looked bored, to return from the exhibition hall and sit next to Leo in a bored daze.

After about half an hour, Anne led Nelson and Catherine down the upper floor, called Leo and Jason, left the guild building, got into the carriage, and ordered to go to the embassy of the Kingdom of England in Miria.

"How's it going?" asked Jason in the car.

"It's going well!" Catherine said with a smile, "Nielsen's article has been reviewed and will be published in the next issue of the medical association's internal journal, and when we see the concrete results, we will promote it to medical associations around the world." ”

Nelson was not happy about this, but a little as if he was ashamed of it, and his expression was a little depressed.

"Since it's already started, it's going to continue, Leo didn't say anything, why should you feel guilty?" Anne looked at Nelson, and warned seriously: "You have to know that this matter is no longer your own business, you are recommended by me, and Catherine's support, once you are exposed, Catherine and I will be implicated by you, or play your battlefield first aid master, don't make any mistakes!"

"I see. Hearing that Catherine would also be affected, Nelson's expression immediately became serious, and he nodded.

Jason asked a little dazedly, "You have said so much, and you haven't told me how things are going?"

Anne said indifferently: "The council will convene members tomorrow to discuss this matter, but it shouldn't be a big problem, because there are too many interns who have been killed and injured in the Breteyi area this time, there are more than a hundred, and they are all prospective doctors who are about to graduate from the academy." The college was very angry, and even if it could not file a complaint in the name of the medical association, it would submit a complaint to the mainland parliament in the name of the medical school itself. ”

Although Anne was speaking plainly, Leo could hear a small clue that the Velon's Medical Association and the Velon's School of Medicine seemed to have different opinions on the accusation.

However, for Leo, it doesn't matter whether it's a medical association or a medical school, as long as they submit a complaint, all they have to do is wave their flags and shout next to them, and provide a little ammunition by the way.

After a moment of silence, Leo suddenly asked Anne, "Lady Anne, do you know a woman named Sylvia?"

Anne frowned slightly, and said, "Sylvia?, this name is very common, and many people I know have this name. ”

"The Sylvia I'm talking about is a very beautiful woman. Leo told him about the appearance and clothing of Baron Maupassant, whom he had just seen.

Listening to Leo's description, Anne's face became more and more gloomy, and finally she glared at Leo and said, "How do you know her?"

"I just sat there and she came up and talked to me. Leo concealed part of it, and he could now see that Anne must know the Baron Maupassant, and that it seemed that the relationship was bad.

Anne cursed fiercely: "That only knows how to mess with flowers and grass everywhere," and then warned Leo: "You better be careful, she's a black widow, you don't know when she eats you." ”

Perhaps sensing that she was a little out of shape, Anne did not speak again, but turned her head to look out the window, so that people could not see her expression.

The thick resentment emanating from Anne, not to mention Leo, even the dull Jason felt it, and everyone did not speak again, sitting quietly until the carriage stopped outside the embassy of the Kingdom of England.

Anne led the four into the embassy and, in her capacity as a director of the medical association, asked the reception staff to see the ambassador, but did not tell the staff the identities of Leo and the others.

Not long after, after the ambassador agreed to receive him, Anne only took Nelson, who already had a knighthood and a certain background, to the ambassador's office, and the others remained in the reception room.

About ten minutes later, several more people who looked like military attaches of the embassy came and directly stayed in a room with Leo and Jason, asked them about their identities and unit numbers, and then asked them to tell what happened on the battlefield that day, and recorded them in detail, handed them over to sign their lives, and then took them back to the reception room.

By this time, Anne and Nelson had already returned to the reception room, but there were already six armed soldiers guarding the embassy outside the reception room.

"The next thing should not have much to do with the two of you, your identity is too lowly in the eyes of those big people, and the weight of your words is not enough, it is impossible to cause any effect, you can only be a foil to Nielsen. Anne said bluntly, without leaving any face for Leo and Jason, and told Leo and them in detail about the current situation, "Next, Nelson will become the leader of the whole accusation, and because of his importance, the ambassador of the Kingdom of England needs to protect him specifically, and Catherine will be with him and continue to write the next paper." ”

"Then it's none of our business, right?" said Jason with a shrug.

"You want to be beautiful. Anne glared at Jason and said, "Nelson will definitely be well protected, and it is impossible to give Duke Derwin's people a chance to attack, so the two of you will definitely become Duke Derwin's target." Although the status of the two of you is unlikely to play much of a role in the accusation, Duke Derwin's men will use your death to warn some others, so you will be in a more dangerous situation than Nelson's. ”

"Haha! just let them come, my baby will come in handy. Jason didn't take the alleged danger to heart in the slightest, and said with a big grin.

"Can you let Jason and Nelson be together?" Leo thought for a moment, asked Annie, and at the same time raised his hand to signal Jason not to speak, and then explained: "Jason's weapon is too heavy, suitable for positional defense, he and Nelson together, can also play a role in protecting Nelson, after all, other people's protection, I am not very worried." ”

"This shouldn't be a problem. Anne thought for a moment, nodded her head and accepted the offer, and then asked Leo, "What about you?"

"No, I have other things to do. Leo thought of the house mentioned by the old man of the villa, and he could take advantage of this time to check and investigate what was wrong.

Anne felt that it was a bit of a waste to let Leo's aimless actions go on like this, so she thought for a moment and said, "I will find someone to investigate the forces controlled by Duke Devon in Miria City these days, and I will mark some of the key forces, and if you have a way, try to deal with them, so that they don't come out and make trouble." ”

"That's fine. Leo nodded, and then very seriously instructed Jason and Nelson a few things, most of which were related to self-protection in the event of an attack, and asked Anne to bring the flintlock hand cannon in the hospital to Jason before trying to install a force bracket on the hand cannon for Jason to use.

After saying a few precautions, Leo didn't ask where they would be sent to be protected, and just left the embassy directly, and just as he left the embassy, he also found that he was being followed.

Through the observation of the spirit network, Leo quickly identified several of them as members of the embassy, while others were apparently from some local forces. Although he had not yet obtained from Anne the list of Duke Derwin's control of power in Miria City, he had already found a target to target.

Leo boarded the carriage waiting in front of the embassy and told the coachman to go to the fish city, and he was in the carriage, closing his eyes and paying no attention to the people who were following behind.

Although the city of Miria is very prosperous and the people who live here are very wealthy, it is not without slums, in fact, the slums here are still very large, and in terms of area alone, it is definitely the largest urban area in the entire city of Miria.

The city is located northwest of the city on the banks of the Walla River, one of the main tributaries of the Rhodeland River, which is full of shoals, aquatic grasses and reefs that are not suitable for cargo shipping but are ideal for fish, so the fishing industry is thriving.

In the early days of the city, the local fishermen built a small village here to provide fish products to the residents of the city.

Later, as Miria City gradually prospered, a large number of people who couldn't mix in the surrounding towns began to flock to Miria City. It was difficult for these people to find work in the city of Miria, which was dominated by politics and commerce, and naturally they could not live in the city of Miria, so they had to move to the edge of Miria City. In this way, the small fishing village close to the city of Miria became their first choice. ，

As Miria City grew bigger and more prosperous, more and more people came here looking for opportunities to make a fortune. Although from time to time we can hear the news that some people have come out for some reason, but more people are still struggling at the bottom, these people gathered around the small fishing village, and the living area expanded little by little, and over time it became the current fish city.

Some councillors of Miria City once thought that the fish city was not part of Miria City, which would damage the image of Miria City, and suggested that a wall should be built along the edge of the city to isolate it from Miria City. But in the end, the proposal was blocked by some people, and the councillor who made the proposal also lost his post for some reason, went bankrupt, and ended up in the fish city.

It is precisely because of this councilor as a precedent that no matter how much the magnates in Miria City look down on the people in the fish city, no one will put forward any proposals against the fish city, so as not to set themselves on fire.

There are no formal zoning signs before entering the Fish City, but there is a way for locals to tell if they are in the Fish City 100% and that is the houses and roads.

Most of the houses in the city of Miria are built with bricks and steel frames as the main materials, and even if wood is used as a building material, it is only wood as an auxiliary material or decorative material, and there are very few houses that really use wood completely.

But the fish city is different, and almost all the houses in the fish city are two-story spire loft-style wooden houses, with a plaster layer on the outside as a wall.

The reason why these houses use wood as a building material is mainly because these timbers do not cost money, and you only need to find some relatives and friends to bring logging tools when building houses, and go to the forest outside the city to cut a few trees, and you can gather the wood needed to build houses.

In addition, because the land required for the construction of these houses did not need to be applied to the city council of Miria, the houses were built on the land and were constantly expanded, so that the streets here were not only narrow, but also distorted and distorted, making it impossible for horse-drawn carriages to drive in.

"Sir, if you go in alone, it is best to come out before dark, for it is not very safe at night. After getting out of the carriage, the coachman kindly reminded Leo.

Leo replied with a thank you, and walked into the nearest alley, into the slums of Fish City.
