Chapter Sixty-Seven: Conditions, Magic, and Women
After leaving the villa, Anne and Leo did not ride again, and the two walked to the main street outside the villa area, stopped a carriage, and drove towards Anne's hospital.
On the way, neither of them spoke, as they had done in the carriage when they came, except that this time Anne was waiting for Leo to speak, and Leo was thinking about what had happened in the villa.
Being able to learn the words on that Wizard of the Wilderness notebook was naturally very important to Leo, even if the old man belittled the notebook of the Wizard of the Wilderness to nothing, but it was also very useful to him, at least so that he could understand some details of the mysterious side of the world.
It's just that Leo doesn't believe that there is a free lunch in the world, and since there is a harvest, it naturally needs to be paid, so Leo directly asked the old man what he needed to pay.
The answer was somewhat surprising, the old man only needed Leo to help him get something from a house.
At first, Leo thought that the old man was going to steal from someone else's house, but he soon realized that he had misunderstood, because the house that the old man wanted Leo to go to was one of his properties.
Asking someone to pick up something from the house in his name sounded extremely strange in itself, but when Leo asked the old man for more details, the old man was reluctant to answer.
In this regard, Leo could only say that he would not agree to such a thing until he understood the actual situation, and the old man was not angry, but still wrote an introduction to Leo, and said that when Leo thought clearly about the deal, he could continue the deal.
From the moment he left the villa, Leo had always felt that his experience in the villa was a little strange, because the process of talking to the old man in the villa was a little different from himself, he didn't seem to be too wary of the old man, and even the notes of the wizard of the wilderness, which were very important to him, were shown to the old man.
This situation made him think of Martin Luther, Martin Luther also had a similar affinity, but it was far worse than the old man, and his kind of affinity was more of a psionic skill, which did not originate from itself like the old man, so he couldn't find out the abnormal data from the data of the auxiliary brain system.
"What a terrible old man, as long as he is around, he will be involuntarily affected by him. Leo suddenly spoke, and said thoughtlessly.
Anne smiled and said, "Hehe! It's the first time you've seen him like this, and you've gotten used to it after a long time with him." ”
Leo looked at Anne sitting in the chair across from him and said, "Speaking of which, it's really weird, I still don't know who he is?"
"Didn't he tell you?" said Anne, stunned.
Leo shook his head.
Anne smiled and said, "Since he didn't tell you, I won't say it, you can check it yourself, or wait for him to tell you himself." ”
Leo also expected Anne to have such an answer, and if Anne wanted to say it, she had already said it on the way here.
Leo then asked, "When did you see the ...... on me?" What is it called, in your words?
"After you go upstairs, I have a magic gadget in my lab. Anne said truthfully, "Seriously, the magic in you is the purest I've seen in all these years. ”
Leo said in a deep voice, "So you took me as a wizard with a hidden identity and took me to meet the old man?"
"Yes. Anne nodded and said, "He's also the only one in the entire city of Miria who can help you and is willing to help." ”
"Do you know what he's looking for a wizard for?"
"I don't know. Anne shook her head and said, "His obsession with wizards is well-known in the guild, and he brought you there just to make him happy, as long as people are happy, they can say anything, what do you think?"
Leo smiled, tempting to tell her that she didn't answer any of the questions he asked, but in the end he held back, nodded his head, and said, "You ask!"
Anne was very curious and asked, "How did you get the magic in your body, and since you are not a wizard, how can you have such pure magic power?"
Leo didn't answer honestly, but said in a tricky way: "The magic power in my body should be similar to the origin of the magic power in yours. ”
However, Anne believed it, and the reason why she believed Leo's words was entirely because of the purple crown flower, and she felt that only people who had experienced it as herself could possibly pick this flower that should not appear in the world.
Annie's reaction now surprised Leo a little, he just said nonsense, and even made Annie believe it, which was somewhat unexpected by him.
Of course, he would not think that a woman like Anne was easy to deceive, and the only possibility was that his nonsense was understood to mean something else.
Soon the paracerebral system analyzed a possibility, the purple crest, the Black Forest.
In the data records of the accessory brain system, Pierre mentions a person who has been in and out of the Black Forest during the fog and has seen the purple crest, but does not say the person's name.
Now it seems that this person is likely to be the Anne in front of her, and the spiritual energy on this Anne is likely to have been obtained in the Black Forest, and even her appearance, which is much younger than her age, may be related to the Black Forest.
Although Anne had already believed Leo's words, she was still instinctively skeptical, so she tentatively asked, "Have you been there?"
If Leo hadn't analyzed the results and heard this mindless question, he would definitely not know why, and then he would have goofed up, but now he knew very well how to answer, and said, "In the fog?"
It was also a vague answer, but it was enough to convince Anne of Leo's nonsense.
Leo was eager to continue asking, wanting to know what Anne had gained in the Foggy Wonderland of the Black Forest to allow her to stay young like she was now, after all, such a thing as delaying aging is also a big issue in the Earth Federation, and there is no reliable result so far.
But Leo also knew that if he asked too much, the more likely it would be to leak, and if he didn't get it right, it would make Anne turn her face, which would be a bit self-defeating, so he suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask any more.
Soon the carriage drove to Anne's neighborhood hospital, and Anne parked the carriage at the door, and then spent three gold flanges to hire the carriage for three days, during which she and Leo and the others were afraid to go everywhere, so as not to call a carriage in the street again.
When he went upstairs, he saw Jason guarding the door at Leo's orders, and the flintlock cannon that he had always regarded as a treasure was also taken out and placed at the door, which startled Anne, who had just opened the door.
However, in addition to being frightened, Anne also praised the design of the flintlock hand cannon, felt that it could be improved, and said that if there was a chance, she would definitely introduce the designer to a good friend of hers who specializes in mechanics.
Thinking of the bar she had seen with Anne and the old man's contraptions, Leo sensed that the friend Anne was referring to was the maker of these machines. It should be of great help to Jean Valjean to know such a master mechanic, so he told Anne about his identity.
On the other hand, Nelson and Catherine had already taken advantage of the time when Anne and Leo were away to put together a draft of the suture surgery, which was a little wrong in many places because it was a draft.
Although Leo did not know much about medical skills, he was very good at battlefield healing, and quickly pointed out the mistakes, and under Anne's arrangement, he demonstrated three different suturing techniques on the corpse parked in the basement of the hospital to deal with three different injuries, and completely perfected the paper in a short time.
It's just that after reading the paper, Anne shook her head, changed the three suture techniques in the paper to one, and deleted some content that can improve the effect of surgery, such as special surgical forceps, sutures, etc., leaving only a paper that is slightly better than the draft, with little practical content, but very complete theoretical knowledge.
Seeing Leo's puzzled expression, Anne smiled and said, "This is not in the academy, this is in Miria, the big stage of world politics, where you not only need to learn to release your talents, but also know when to let the light of talents converge." A perfect paper is good, but it lacks the fun of everyone participating and making profits, a theoretical paper in which everyone participates or an article that is only looked at by people, which do you think can be more valued in a short period of time?"
Although Nelson and Catherine felt that Anne was reasonable, they always felt that something was wrong, and Leo was used to seeing the faces of politicians in the Earth Federation, so naturally he didn't show any disagreement with politicians like Annie.
Instead of asking Nelson and Catherine to write the next paper, Anne took it and led the four of them out of the hospital and in a carriage to the Velon's Medical Association, which is located in the borough.
The administrative district was one of the first three districts established in the city of Miria, from the earliest one block, to the current seven blocks, the entire administrative district has undergone three expansions, until there is no land to expand, and then some minor departments are separated and a sub-district is established in the suburbs to alleviate the increasing tension of land use.
The Velun Medical Association is a landmark building in the administrative district, and the shape of the building is simple and simple, it is a five-storey cube with 100 rooms in length and width, which is jokingly called square brick by the locals.
At the main entrance of the medical association, there is a square with an area about the size of the association's building, and rows of stone tablets carved and polished from black stone, a specialty of Marta Town, are neatly erected, and the stone tablets are densely engraved with the names of those who died in the great plague that swept through the entire world of Velon.
Although there are no earth-shattering buildings or ornate statues, anyone who approaches this square will feel a strong solemnity, and even the voice of the voice spoken by the side cannot help but be lowered.
Once here, both Nelson and Catherine have a pilgrimage mentality, and while the Velen School of Medicine is the cradle of Velon's world medicine, it is the heart of Velen Medicine.
After Anne led the four of them into the building, she arranged Leo and Jason in the reception room next to the entrance of the building, and then led Nelson and Catherine to the medical school's headquarters in the building.
While waiting, Jason got bored and walked to the public exhibition hall on the side of the building to see the organism exhibit unfolding there.
Leo, on the other hand, was accustomed to seeing flesh-and-blood corpses on the battlefield, and had no interest in these biological organs soaked in bottles, so he stayed in the reception room, picked up a newspaper for entertainment, and read it.
Not long after, someone sat down next to Leo.
With a large number of vacant seats in the reception room, leaning towards him, Leo was naturally alert and turned his head to look at the visitor.
I saw that this was a woman, and she was a very beautiful woman, even in the era of the Earth Federation that was genetically adjusted and almost invisible ugly men and ugly women, it was definitely among the outstanding in appearance.
Her delicate features, long wavy red curls, and slender neck make her look like a marble statue, more like a perfect woman carefully sculpted by an artist.
This woman is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has a very hot figure, wearing a somewhat rebellious leather black trench coat, deliberately open placket, which can make people see the fullness deliberately set off by the fishbone lace corset, tight leather pants on the lower body and high-heeled galos, plus women's broad-bladed swords and crossbows worn on both sides, making her look like a queen overall.
"Why are you here?" asked Leo as he looked at the pretty woman.
Leo was stunned and asked suspiciously, "Miss, do I know you?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, smiled, and said a little inexplicably: "I said, we will definitely cooperate." ”
Leo didn't understand for a while when he heard this, but soon he thought of something, looked at this incomparably beautiful woman with a shocked face, and after his eyes swept over her a few times, he confirmed with some doubts: "Baron Maupassant?"
The woman smiled and leaned slightly towards Leo, like an actor on a stage.
"How is this possible?" Leo remained incredulous.
Although through some makeup means, men can become more feminine than women, but the bones between men and women are very different after all, and they cannot be changed by makeup alone.
And the woman in front of her, who calls herself Baron Maupassant, is completely a woman, and her body is covered by clothes, but the bones of her face and head are real female bones, and the head bones of Baron Maupassant recorded by Leo are completely two people.
Still skeptical, Leo asked, "Are you really Baron Maupassant?"
The woman smiled and lifted her hand to remove the glove, revealing the wooden ring she had worn on her hand.
People can be fake, but psionic devices can't, Leo already believed that the woman in front of him was Baron Maupassant, but he still didn't know what to say, opened his mouth, and asked, "Are you a man or a woman?"
