Chapter 499: The Witch Aria

"Leon, you are now the envy of the young people of Port Sette. In doubt, Leo closed the book in his hand and suddenly said to Leon Larsson, who was a little absent-minded.

"Huh?" Leon Larsson hadn't come to his senses yet, and for a moment didn't understand what Leo meant by that.

Leo said in a joking tone: "Isn't it worthy of the envy of others to be able to marry a noblewoman who is worth a lot of money, not only to solve the family's debts, but also to live a rich life?"

"Hehe! hehe!" Leon Larsson replied vaguely with a somewhat ugly smile.

Leo deliberately picked the topic away and said, "Leon, you don't seem to be happy?"

"I ...... Alas, you better not ask. Leon Larsson wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't.

"What's wrong?" asked Leo, looking concerned.

Leon Larsson hesitated, looked at Leo, and felt that Leo should be a trustworthy person, and he was in need of someone to talk to because of the secret in his heart recently, so he was ready to tell Leo what he knew, and maybe he could get some help from Leo.

"Leo, do you believe that there are some indescribable ...... in this world" Leon Larsson couldn't find the right words to describe the things in his mind for a while, and after a long time he said: "Things, some indescribable things, do you believe that there are things in this world?"

Hearing Leon Larson's slightly incoherent words, Leo could feel that Leon Larsson's heart was very nervous at the moment, so he followed the other party's words and said: "Believe, after all, we still know very little about this world, just like the wasteland is still full of countless locations." ”

Hearing Leo's words, Leon Larsson nodded as if he had seen a confidant, and then took the initiative to come forward and want to tell him what he knew, but just as he was about to speak, the door of the library was opened, and then a woman wearing a white pleated skirt and a white gauze hat walked in.

Although this woman's face is blocked by the white veil, she can still see the general outline of the other party's face through the gap in the white veil, and it can be seen from this that this woman's appearance is definitely beautiful, not even worse than Su and Sylvia.

And Leo compared this woman to Sue and Sylvia not only because of her appearance, but also because of her strength, and the moment this woman appeared, Leo could already determine that this woman was a witch.

Leo didn't know what this woman's abilities were, but he was sure of one thing, that is, his psychic net could not perceive this woman, even if this woman was standing in front of him now, he could hear the other person's breathing and heartbeat through supernormal perception, but the psychic net told him that there was nothing in front of him.

It is precisely because the other party was able to completely invalidate his spiritual network that the other party was able to walk silently outside the library building.

"Leon, won't you introduce your friend?" the woman asked as she walked up to the two of them, looked at Leo, and then turned to Leon.

If you don't look at Leon Larsson's look, but judging from the woman's voice, this woman definitely gives the impression of a gentle woman, but such a gentle voice is like the most powerful spell in the world for Leon Larsson, so that he has to hold on to the bookcase next to him in order to stand steady and not let himself slump on the ground.

At this moment, Leon Larsson did not dare to look up at the woman, lowered his head a little rudely, and introduced: "This is Mr. Leo Dodd, the owner of the United Machinery Company, and one of my few friends here. ”

"Leo Dodd?" The woman was stunned when she heard Leo's name, as if she knew Leo's identity, and then stretched out her white-gloved hand to Leo and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Leo Dodd, I'm Berenchena Puggins, Leon's wife. ”

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Larson. Leo shook the other's hand lightly and let go.

Berenchena Pugins smiled and said, "Let's call me Mrs. Pugins! Lyon and I have not yet officially married in the Kingdom of England, and according to the marriage law of the Kingdom of England, we are not yet married here." ”

Leo smiled and said, "I think Leon will definitely be willing to give you a grand wedding." ”

"I hope so!" Berenchena Pugins, apparently unconcerned about the wedding, then turned to Leon Larsson and said, "I've got dinner ready in the kitchen, and I'll have someone bring it later, you remember to eat it, and don't read too late in the evening, and don't forget that we have other things to do tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I got it. Faced with this beautiful woman with a tender voice, Leon Larsson still didn't even dare to raise his head and whispered.

Berenchena had already achieved her purpose here, so she had no intention of staying any longer, and turned around and walked out of the library.

After Berenchena left, Leon had no idea of continuing the topic with Leo, and after responding vaguely to Leo, he was able to direct the topic to the surrounding books. Later, after the food was delivered, he did not hesitate to eat all the food that Berenchena had prepared for him.

Seeing Leon Larsson's performance, Leo could very well that Berenchena Puggins had completely controlled Leon's words and deeds, and after Berenchena's warning with hints, Leon would probably not tell the secret he knew in his heart, no matter how much he trusted Leo.

However, Leo didn't plan to ask any further, because he knew very well that there would be no answer if he asked, so it was better to wait for the other party to take the initiative to come to him.

Although Berenchena's face was veiled and her expression changed and she was very smiling, Leo could still sense from the other party's heartbeat that the other party should already know her identity, as for how she knew, Leo didn't think much about it, it was nothing more than some information inside the witch group, or the black market, etc.

Therefore, the other party should know very well that if she has malicious intentions towards Leon and wants to attack Leon, then she will definitely not be able to bypass Leo as a roadblock, so as long as Leo is okay, then Leon will be fine as well.

So, after dark, Leo asked Leon if he could stay in the library for a few days, and Leon probably thought that he would be safer if he had a companion, so he immediately agreed to Leo's request, and if it wasn't for the butler's urging, he might have stayed in the library instead of going back to the main house.

After Leon left, Leo still did not rest, continued to look through the other books that he had not finished, and I don't know how long it took, Leo finished reading most of the books located on the second floor, and the continuous high-intensity memory made him a little mentally exhausted, so he needed to stop and rest and recuperate.

And just as he turned around and was about to walk down the spiral staircase, he found that there was another person in the library at some point, and this person was sitting in the middle of the reading area, flipping through the books on the table at will, and this person was officially Leon Larson's new wife, Berenchena Pukins.

Seeing Berenchena, Leo was slightly stunned, but quickly returned to normal, after all, he already had an understanding of Berenchenna's ability, and it was not a big deal that his spiritual network did not find the other party.

Berenchena watched Leo come down the spiral staircase, then got up from her seat, removed the veil from her face, revealed a mature and beautiful face, and said to Leo: "Leo Dodd, your reputation is not small in our small circle!"

"Do I have a great reputation?" asked Leo, as if he were talking to an old acquaintance.

Berenchena smiled and said, "I don't know much about other places, but in the small circle of the Witch Band, your reputation is not small, after all, the man who can make Sylvia favor is curious, not to mention that even the arrogant Su has been full of praise for you recently, making our sisters even more curious about what kind of man you are." ”

Leo asked a little flirtatiously, "You see it now, what kind of man do you think I am?"

Berenchena smiled and did not answer, then she took off her gloves and reached for Leo, saying, "Re-introduce myself, I am Berenchena Pugins, the aria of the Witch Order, and it is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Leo Dodd." ”

Leo Dodd looked at the other hand's outstretched hand and said, "I'd love to be nice to you, Madam, but I don't think it's a good idea to shake Madam's hand." ”

"I didn't expect Leo Dodd to be a coward who didn't even dare to hold a woman's hand. Berenchena withdrew her hand, put her gloves back on, and looked at Leo with disdain.

Leo didn't care about the other party's attitude, and said directly: "The reputation of the Aria is not good in the dark world, and I don't want to be your next prey." ”

As Leo said, the Aria is very famous in the Dark World, arguably the most famous of the Witch Band, and the reason why she is so famous is mainly because of her other nickname, the Kingkiller.

According to records, the Aria killed at least five kings and archdukes, and was regarded as a mortal enemy by the entire Veron aristocratic community, and the bounty that fell on her was already about the same as that of the Emperor Fran. But even with so many rewards, no one can remember the identity and appearance of the aria, and it is not even clear whether the other party is a man or a woman.

Leo didn't know what the ability of the woman in front of him was, but the woman's act of taking off her gloves could show in disguise that her ability was related to her hands.

However, it may also be a deliberate disguise by Berenchena in order to keep Leo's attention on her hands, so as to ignore the real source of power in her.

"I have a question for Mr. Leo," Berenchena asked bluntly, "You really came to Larson Manor today just to read these books." ”

"Of course, I'm only here today for these books. ”

Leo didn't intend to lie and answered truthfully, while Berenchena, who got the answer, was a little relieved, but soon Leo's next words made her feel a little nervous.

Leo said, "But after seeing you, ma'am, I feel the need to do something." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Berenchena asked in a deep voice, frowning.

Leo said in a slightly threatening tone: "Leon is my friend, and I am very grateful that he opened the library to me for free, so I don't want him to be hurt by someone's affairs." ”

"Hurt Leon?" Berenchena looked dazed, and then said with some annoyance: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can I hurt Leon, why do you say that I will hurt him?"

"I don't know if you're going to hurt him, I just know he's scared of you and your people. Leo looked at the other party's expression and felt that the other party did not seem to be cheating, so he added, "As far as I know, he seems to know the true appearance of your butler." ”

"What?" Berenchena was stunned when she heard this, and then her face showed a sudden look, and muttered to herself: "I see, no wonder he has been avoiding me in the past few days, and he has lowered his head when he sees me, I thought he was angry with me because I let people repair the manor without permission, it turned out that he saw the appearance of old Baker." ”

Hearing Berenchena's self-talk, Leo could feel that the other party was not lying, and he could also hear that the other party had no ill will towards Leon.

"Don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards Leon. Berenchena, who had solved her doubts, said to Leo with a very formal expression: "This time, I was able to leave the Kingdom of Maris smoothly because of Leon's help, and now I am just borrowing the identity of Leon's newlywed wife to live here for a while, and when the outside limelight calms down, I will go to the Moisan continent." ”

Leo frowned and asked, "What about Leon? You went to Mozambit, Leon ......?"

"Leon, you may be mistaken, Leon and I are not really husband and wife, and Leon knows this very well," Berenchena smiled and said, "And Leon is not at a loss in this matter, I helped him pay off all his debts, helped him restore the manor, and before leaving, I will leave a large amount of wealth that will allow him to live the rest of his life in peace, so you don't have to worry about Leon at all." ”

"I hope you'll be able to do what you say, ma'am. Leo didn't fully believe his words.

Berenchena didn't care about Leo's tone, but asked Leo with interest, "I think you should have received Sylvia's letter, right?"

Leo looked at the other with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "Do you know that Sylvia wrote to me?"

Berenchena smiled and said, "In fact, every member of the Witch Troupe has been writing letters to the people she trusts the most and feels the most reliable, including me. ”

"Why?" asked Leo.

"Don't worry, she'll tell you when you go to meet Sylvia. Berenchena looked at Leo meaningfully and said, "However, I have a suggestion for you, before you go to Sylvia, you should prepare all the useful things, it will be a chore!"
