Chapter 145: Meeting

Although he made a judgment, the doubts in Leo's heart did not decrease because of this, but even more, because in those time cases of the Earth Federation, time was passing forward without exception, and there was no case of going backwards.

Peter Alcott's situation is as if he entered the world of Velen sixty years ago when he was a child, then spent some time with the owner of the villa at 9 Golden Oak Street, and then moved to the present sixty years later, appearing in Miria City.

In other words, time is like a toy that can be adjusted casually for Peter Alcott, but the interesting thing is that Peter Alcott who appears in other worlds is a toddler, not an adult.

"Could it be that adulthood will incapacitate him?" suddenly guessed in Leo's mind.

"You shouldn't come here, noble lady! but it's okay, we'll keep you safe. ”

A cacophony came from a short distance away, waking Leo out of his thoughts and looking towards where the sound had come from. I saw a group of low-level people living in the slums surrounding a woman in a nun's dress, stretching out their hands and tugging, as if they wanted to drag her to the side of the house made of wooden planks and rubble.

"It's her!" Leo easily recognized who she was, and could vaguely guess what she was here for, but he didn't plan to make a move, but watched the scene not far away with interest.

At this moment, the encircled maid spun around the group of low-level people as if dancing, and then the low-level people fell to the ground in pieces like a cut straw.

This scene was watched by the surrounding onlookers, and they all panicked and avoided from afar, and a large open space immediately became vacant around the maid.

The maid ignored the corpses on the ground, she walked like a nimble cat, and carefully avoided the pieces and blood on the ground as if she were walking in the garden to avoid the flowers, and walked towards Leo.

To the average person, the maid was just going around the crowd, but in Leo's eyes, the woman had at least seventeen swords in the process of spinning, and it took less than two seconds to go back and forth, and the most peculiar thing was that her sword was hidden in her arm.

At this time, Leo realized that it was a bit inappropriate to call the maid her, and it was more appropriate to call her one, because the maid was not really human, but a psionic puppet.

Among the psionics of the Earth Federation, there is a type of psionic who can use a certain technique to combine their psionic energy with some intelligent robots to make up for the lack of their own strength, and can improve their own strength in disguise by constantly improving the equipment of intelligent robots without increasing the psionic level, this kind of psionic is called a puppeteer, or puppeteer.

This type of psionic is a rare type of psyker, and the total number of such psionics recorded in the history of the Earth Federation is less than ten. The two most famous puppeteers, one of them, controlled the mastermind of a mechanical death star, thus controlling the entire planet, including the aliens connected to the main brain with a brain domain chip above, and became the masters of this alien planet. The other discovered a seed spaceship of an ancient cosmic civilization, took control of the ship, and founded a new cosmic civilization on the edge of the galactic spiral arm.

The maid in front of him is obviously also a psychic puppet created and controlled by the puppeteer, when he was in the villa before, because the attention was not on this maid, and the other party was too well-made, even the auxiliary brain system was deceived, so Leo never saw a trace of abnormality.

It wasn't until the moment the maid made a move just now, a crack opened in her elbow and wrist, and four almost transparent long swords were stretched out, that Leo noticed that there was something wrong with the maid's body, and then through the investigation of the spiritual network, he found that the maid was actually a puppet that was almost no different from a real person.

Although Leo used the spirit net to find out every detail of the maid's body structure, including the location of small parts such as screws, gears, and springs in its body, and could also use the auxiliary brain system to perfectly restore it, he still felt that even if he imitated it as it was, he probably wouldn't be able to make the same puppet.

Because there were so many counterintuitive arrangements in this puppet's body, he didn't even understand the composition and operation of the puppet's shell, let alone how the puppet's core power system worked. The only thing he figured out was that the knowledge of the Earth Federation's mechanical engineering couldn't be used on this kind of psionic puppet.

Just when Leo analyzed the psionic puppet in front of him through the subbrain, the maid had already walked in front of Leo, like a real person, and said coldly: "The master wants to see you, please come with me." ”

After saying that, without waiting for Leo to respond, he turned around and walked back, but Leo only hesitated for a moment and followed.

After Leo and the maid left, the low-level poor people who were hiding in the shanties cautiously poked their heads out to see that there was no danger, and after making sure that there was no danger, they ran out of hiding and rushed to the shredded corpses, turning over the corpses to find the belongings left by the men.

Not long after, the guards of the city came here, and they dispersed the people gathered around the corpse, and asked about the situation at random, and when they heard that this matter involved the nobleman's maid, they did not continue to ask, but directly restrained the corpse, and turned away, as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, the maid led Leo all the way to the eleventh arrondissement, close to the aristocratic city.

The 11th arrondissement is a derivative of the aristocratic city, and the vine platform that built the city is formed from the extension of the aristocratic city, which is also one of the largest urban districts in the outer city. Originally, it was only a city area dedicated to the residence of noble servants and their families, and later some descendants of powerless nobles established various handicraft workshops here to make some daily necessities for the use of nobles, and now many nobles have built their own factories and shops here, which has also made this place extremely prosperous.

However, when the maid brought Leo to the city, it seemed that she had no intention of taking him to the most prosperous part of the city, but instead took him into a building near the bridge at the entrance to the noble district, and to a hut on the ground deck next to the lake.

Outside the hut, some guards from the aristocratic district surrounded the area, not allowing anyone to approach, and hung some metal netted wizard objects in the hut's rooms, which were able to create a disturbing force field and make it impossible to spy inside the house.

The maid opened the door and led Leo in, and by this time Peter Alcott was already sitting by one of the fireplaces in the cabin. Compared with just now, his dress at the moment seems to be a lot more casual, and more importantly, his dressing style is very flange, and some obvious parts of the clothes are also embroidered with the national emblem of the flange empire.

"Do we know each other?" Peter Alcott asked suddenly without warning after Leo came in, and kept his eyes on Leo's expression as he asked, trying to see something on Leo's face.

"I don't know. However, Peter Alcott was doomed to disappointment, and Leo replied with a very calm expression and nothing to blame.

"Don't you know?" Peter Alcott didn't show a look of disappointment, pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, I'm pretty sure we must know each other...... No, it's not right to say that we know each other, we must have met, and you should have made a deep impression on me, so I have a clear sense of familiarity when I see you. ”

Leo walked to the chair opposite Peter Alcott and sat down, without showing any low-profile demeanor because of the other party's identity, and said calmly: "Maybe you were deceived by your feelings. ”

Peter Alcott ignored Leo's words, but looked at Leo carefully, and suddenly said thoughtlessly: "Your dress is very special. ”

"The same goes for you. Leo responded.

Peter Alcott looked down at his clothes, then looked at Leo and asked, "Have you ever dreamed?"

"Of course. Leo nodded.

"Do you remember what happened in your dream?" asked Peter Alcott again.

Leo replied flatly: "Some remember, some don't." ”

Peter Alcott nodded as if pleased with Leo's answer, and then continued: "I had many dreams when I was a child, and I dreamed that I went to countless very magical dream worlds, and encountered some interesting things there, but when I woke up, I didn't remember anything. Until the day I became an adult......" At this point, he suddenly paused, a look of fear flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal and continued: "I began to gradually recall the things I experienced in my childhood dreams, those things were extremely magical, but they were very real, and I couldn't help but wonder that the world in those dreams was real, and because of this, everyone in the family regarded me as a madman, do you think I am a madman?"

"There's often a fine line between a genius and a madman. Leo didn't answer directly, but said tactfully.

"It's fun to say that you are much smarter than other people, and only smart people can understand the minds of smart people, and only smart people can be friends with smart people. Peter Alcot changed his languid posture, moved his body away from the back of the chair, sat up straight, and leaned forward slightly, took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Leo, and introduced himself: "Peter Alcott, a genius who is regarded as a madman. ”

Leo looked at Peter Alcott, smiled and shook his outstretched hand, and introduced himself, "Leo Dodd, a curious traveler. ”

"Maria, help us make a glass of fruit water, using the fruit we just picked from the garden two days ago. Peter Alcott instructed the maid and asked Leo, "Would you like to add some worm honey?" The unbaked fresh fruit soaking water is a little bitter and sour, and people who drink it for the first time may not be used to it. ”

"No, so be it!" Leo said, shaking his head.

After receiving Leo's answer, the maid turned and walked out of the hut, leaving only Leo and Peter Alcott.

"Aren't you worried about your danger by letting your maid and protector leave like this?" Leo watched the maid walk out of the room, and suddenly looked at Peter Alcott with malicious intent in his eyes, and sneered: "You must know that now that you and I are so close, it is a very simple matter for me to kill you if I want to kill you. ”

"I'm sure you won't do that. Peter Alcott said with a smile.

Leo habitually raised his eyebrows and said, "You're so sure I won't do it." ”

"I just trust my instincts. Peter Alcott smiled confidently: "My intuition tells me that you are not a threat to me, and also tells me that we can be collaborators, and I believe my intuition will not go wrong." ”

"Accurate intuition, stupid approach. Leo said bluntly.

"Haha, you're not the first to say that. Peter Alcott admired Leo's casual attitude and seemed very happy, and said with a smile: "Do you know who was the last person who said this to me?"

"Who is it?" asked Leo, though he wasn't interested in it, still following the other man's words.

"First Chief. After Peter Alcott finished speaking, he looked at Leo expectantly, hoping to see some interesting expressions in Leo's always flat look.

However, he was destined to be disappointed, and Leo's reaction was only a nod, as if in his eyes, the first chief of the Wizarding Guild was like an ordinary person everywhere.

Peter Alcot was slightly disappointed and puzzled, and then asked, "I heard from the old butler that you have a pair of very good weapons, can you take a look?"

Leo nodded, and took the king and queen down again, only this time instead of handing them to each other, they placed them on the table.

The unique and exquisite shape of the gun immediately attracted Peter Alcott's attention, and he wanted to reach out and take a look at the pair of psionic weapons in his hand, but found that the weight of the pair of weapons was far beyond imagination, not to mention that he was not in good health now, even if he was in good health, I am afraid that he would not be able to pick up this pair of weapons.

Although he could not pick up a weapon, he still did not lose his interest, took out a crystal ball-shaped object from his pocket, placed it on a bracket, moved it to the king and queen, reached out and swept over the crystal ball, and the crystal ball immediately bloomed with dazzling light to illuminate the room, and also illuminate the king and queen clearly.

While Peter Alcot was admiring the King and Queen up close, Leo's attention fell on the glowing crystal ball that Peter Alcot had brought out.

Although the shape of the bracket has changed slightly, Leo is very sure that this crystal ball is the eternal light that only Vitovina would make.
