Standing in the shadows outside the door, Leo watched the Rhodes butler leave, and the spirit network sensed that the young man was sitting back at his desk and dealing with everyday things.

From the conversation just now, Leo had already heard that the robbery was not committed by these two people, and of course, it could be that these two people discovered his whereabouts and deliberately acted on purpose.

But in any case, it didn't matter to Leo, because he had already found what he was looking for, the three skull bowls had been given to the young man, and were now being stored in the young man's elegant lady's dressing room, and it didn't matter who committed the robbery or what the purpose of the other party was.

However, even if he knew where the three skull bowls were, Leo couldn't think of a good way to get them out for the time being, because there were no rumors of the theft of the elegant lady's dressing room in the world so far.

In folk myths and legends, there is a story about the elegant lady and other thieves who tried to steal things.

The story is that Lady Grace competes with some thief gods to steal from each other. In the course of the competition, Lady Grace found the treasure of all the thief gods and entered them to steal an item, but was discovered several times and failed to steal, but most of them succeeded. Not only were the other thieves unable to steal Grace's belongings, but they couldn't even find Grace's treasure, and eventually Grace was revered by all the thieves as the main thief god.

Although the authenticity of this myth is compromised, the fact that this myth is recorded in the Orthodox Church's canon on the story of the gods proves that part of the story may be true, and that the graceful lady's ability to hide things and steal things is the strongest of all the gods.

Just now, when Leo's spiritual network couldn't even explore the secret room behind the bookcase, he already sensed that those legends about the elegant lady might be true, and this was definitely not good news for him.

In the study, perhaps because the news just now made the young man unable to calm down and deal with official business, or perhaps the sound of the banquet outside was too attractive, after signing the two documents, the young man put down the pen in his hand, stood by the window next to him and looked at the lively scene outside, turned around and walked out of the study.

Not long after the young man left the study, Leo entered the study without closing the window, walked directly to the bookcase where the secret room was hidden, looked at the traces of the movement of the bookcase on the ground, and opened the bookcase along the original traces.

However, Leo was somewhat surprised by the sight behind the bookcase, only to see that behind this bookcase was a very ordinary wall, and there was no secret door on the wall, nor was there a large number of Turing magic circles carved on the wall like the Holy Blood Society.

Leo didn't believe in the perception of the spirit network, nor did he easily believe what his eyes saw, he reached out and touched the wall, confirming every detail of the wall in front of him through the touch of his body, and from time to time by shaking the wall with force, to determine the situation inside the wall.

After some attempts, Leo was unable to find anything unusual on the wall, and he turned his head to look at the wall of the bookcase opposite the wall, and found nothing unusual either.

Although after repeated inspections, Leo still did not find any useful clues here, but he did not think that there was nothing wrong with this wall, because judging from the subtle marks left by the friction of the bookcase on the ground, this bookcase was often opened, so there must be something wrong with this wall, but he did not have the ability to see through the problem.

Standing in front of this wall, Leo pondered for a while, but still couldn't find any useful way to unlock the secret in this wall, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Do you really want to catch that person and force him to hand over the skull bowl by force?"

"I don't think it's necessary, the two of us can work together. Just as Leo's words fell, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Although Leo was surprised and shocked that someone appeared behind him out of thin air, his face remained calm, and he turned to look at the person who spoke.

I saw that the person who spoke was the young man who had left the study before, and he leaned against the fireplace very casually, and did not show any hostility, but looked at Leo with interest, his eyes full of curiosity and fighting spirit.

Yes, it's the fighting spirit, as if now this young man regards Leo as the object of competition, and wants to compete with Leo for something.

"My name is Fernando Delo, and I am a descendant of the legendary knight Delo. The young man straightened up, walked up to Leo, stretched out his hand to Leo, and said, "I know you, Leo Dodd, a very unusual ordinary soldier in the Kingdom of England. ”

"Legendary Knight Delore?" Leo was stunned when he heard this name, and the hand he had just raised stopped in mid-air, although it was only a surname, but a figure appeared in his mind, this person was the knight he saw from the illusion of the Twins that allowed the Twins to obtain the cross sword mode, this knight gave up his past low-level surname after gaining a certain status, and obtained the noble surname Delo from a down-and-out nobleman, and finally achieved the name of the legendary knight Delo.

"If I'm not mistaken, the pair of gloves in Mr. Dodd's hands should be my ancestors' weapons. Fernando didn't care about Leo's rude behavior, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, shook Leo's hand that stopped in mid-air, and then smiled and pointed to the pair of twin fists in Leo's hand.

Leo didn't expect that there were descendants of the Dello family, he remembered that the visions he had obtained from the twins seemed to be the last heir of that family who was executed in the end, and now it seems that that person may still have descendants, or it may be that the people of the former Dello family have descendants, and after the death of the last heir, they will inherit the name of the family.

As for the Twins, I'm afraid it was a clue from the family records, and Leo had used this pair of weapons more than once before, so it shouldn't be difficult for someone familiar with the Twins to guess that the Twins were in his hands if they investigated a little.

Leo quickly figured out the joint, so he didn't show much surprise at it, just silenced for a moment, and asked, "Do you want to take it back?"

"Of course, this is the responsibility of any member of the Derlo family to recover the weapons of their ancestors. Fernando did not hide his thoughts, and walked in front of Leo as if he was unsuspected, sat back in the chair behind his desk, and said to Leo with great confidence: "I just felt someone snooping, but I didn't find the whereabouts of the snooper, so I will leave first and let the person come out on his own." It's just that what I didn't expect was that the snooper turned out to be you, Mr. Dodd. ”

"You know me?" Leo asked, though he already had a guess in his mind, as usual.

"Of course I do. Fernando opened the drawer under his desk, took out a document and put it on the table, and said: "Although what Your Excellency did in Miria City seems to be some inconsequential little things, those things, combined with some other unknown plans, have become the key to the establishment of the United Kingdom now, so the Empire naturally needs to investigate Your Excellency, a disturber who appeared out of nowhere." ”

Leo unceremoniously picked up the document on the table and looked through it, and he found that it contained a detailed description of his past experiences, and even some things that his predecessors had forgotten were recorded in it, and what was even more surprising was also recorded in the Black Forest.

This record of what happened in the Black Forest is not his experience with Dr. Nelson and Jason in the Black Forest, but his experience of entering the Black Forest Wonderland alone, and it is obvious that the French Empire can obtain this information also proves that their relationship with the Black Forest is extraordinary.

"But I'm not interested in you because of what you've done. Fernando said to Leo with a hint of inexplicable emotion: "Sylvia and I are good friends," he said, he seemed to feel that he did not express himself enough, and strengthened his tone: "It is a good friend who grew up together, she lived in my house for a long time, and my parents were her guardians. ”

Hearing this, Leo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, although he had never experienced anything like this, but he understood what Fernando meant, which made him feel funny, funny, and a little bit of expectation, after all, whether it was as a cyborg, or in the more than twenty years of life in his predecessor, he had never experienced this kind of jealousy, and this freshness made him interested.

So, he deliberately said provocatively: "We understand, it's just that you should know that the length of time you spend together does not mean the depth of emotion, some people get along all their lives, and they are all strangers, I think you and Xini should belong to this kind of person." ”

"Heanie!?" Fernando heard Leo use Sylvia's nickname, which made him, who always had an aristocratic smile, look annoyed, but he restrained his emotions well, let himself return to the predetermined rhythm, and said, "If I'm guessing correctly, you should be here for those three skull bowls, right?"

"Yes. Leo nodded casually.

Fernando proposed: "Let's make a bet with this skull bowl." ”

Leo smiled and reminded, "Have you forgotten that these three skull bowls don't belong to you, they belong to the Holy Blood Society, if you let the Holy Blood Society know that you got the skull bowls......

"Who knows!" said Fernando with a smile and shrugging his shoulders, "Who knows that the skull bowl is in my hand?" I think no one should be able to find the place I used to store the skull bowl, not even the gods. ”

Leo didn't refute, he was silent for a moment and asked, "What do you want to bet on?"

When Fernando saw that Leo had already moved, he smiled and said, "Let's see who finds the one who robbed the Holy Blood Order first." ”

"What do I have to give?" Leo asked about the stakes, and said with a smile, "You don't want to say that whoever loses will never meet Heeney, such a naïve word?"

"Of course not, a woman's heart cannot be obtained in this way. Fernando shook it, then pointed to Leo's twin gloves and said, "That's the bet!"

"So your goal is it. Leo smiled, then shook his head, and said: "If it's it, your bet is too small, you have to raise, and the skull bowl is not yours, you use it as a bet, even if I win, I'm afraid ......"

Fernando didn't wait for Leo to finish speaking, then interrupted: "If you win, I will not only give you three skull bowls, but also let you choose three random items from my collection." ”

"It's a very interesting bet, but the question is ......" Leo said with a skeptical look on his face, "I don't know anything about your collection, how can I know the value of your collection, if I win, your collection is just some useless rags, then I will not suffer." ”

"You ......" Obviously, Fernando has not dealt with people like Leo, and the people who can get along with him in the French Empire are all imperial magnates, and they naturally know very well how reliable Fernando's reputation is, and they will not say such things. So I don't know how to refute it for a while.

"Since you want to bet on something, at least put each other's bets on the bright side, so that both parties can see and understand the value of the bets. Leo said in a tone of lesson, "Now that I have placed my bet in front of you, and you know its value, shouldn't you show me your bet and show me the value of it?"

After listening to what Leo said, Fernando calmed down, looked at Leo thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are still paying attention to the lady's dressing room," as he spoke, he stood up, walked to the wall behind the bookcase, turned his head, and said to Leo with a slight provocation: "Even if I enter the lady's dressing room in front of you, you can't know how to enter." ”

As he spoke, he saw Fernando ignore the wall as if it were nothing, and walked directly over, and at the moment when he was about to hit the wall, the whole person seemed to be submerged in water, melted into the wall, and disappeared.

Leo stared at the scene in front of him and said nothing, just quietly waiting for Fernando to come out again.

After a while, he saw Fernando walking out of the wall as before, but by this time he had two more beautiful stone boxes in his hands.

Fernando put the box in his hand on the desk and said, "Originally, I prepared those three things as bets, but I think there are still three skull bowls in the bet, and I will lose money if I take out three more bets, so these two bets should be enough, you should have no opinion, right?"

Leo was not affected by what happened just now, and said calmly: "As long as the value of the thing is enough, I don't mind." ”

"I believe that the value of these two things is sufficient. Fernando smiled confidently, and then opened the stone box directly, showing Leo the contents inside.

And the moment the stone box was opened, the expression on Leo's face also changed very obviously, and his eyes fell on the items in the box, and he didn't look away again.
