"Marek?" Leo's spirit web swept through the door, recognizing the person knocking on the door.

At this moment, Malek's image is really not very good, I see that his hair is much shorter than before, although it has undergone some simple trimming, but there are still many places where you can see the traces of burning. In addition, one of his arms seemed to be broken, and he was wrapped in gauze, and there were several more scars on his face, one of which was close to his eyeball, and the slightest deviation could have caused him to lose one eye.

Seeing Marek's image, Leo barely needed to think much about it to be sure that this injury should be related to the things in the root nest.

When he led Marek to the Root Nest and investigated the mysterious man, Leo had already considered the conflict between the two, but he didn't expect that the outcome of the conflict would be like this, and Marek would be so seriously injured, which surprised Leo.

"Leo, you've got a guest. Givy El, who also heard the knock on the door, reminded Leo when she saw that Leo didn't react to the knock.

"Downstairs was a friend. Leo stood up and prepared to go downstairs, but when he reached the stairs at the entrance to the secret room, he said to Jivielle, "Ciri, come with you!"

"Me?" said Jivielle, stunned.

Leo explained, "The person who came is the chief of the security bureau of this city, if you can't leave here for a short time, it's best to get to know him, so that you can live here." ”

Jivielle thought about it for a while, and felt that Leo had a point, according to past experience, it would take at least a month or two for her natural strength to recover and bring her back to her own world, so she had to live in this strange world without sunlight for a month or two. During this time, if she had someone in power in the area to take care of her, at least she wouldn't have been in some inexplicable trouble like the worlds she had experienced in the past.

Thinking of this, Gvielle nodded to Leo, then tidied up her clothes and walked downstairs with Leo.

After the two came downstairs, Leo had just opened the door, and Marek, who was impatient, couldn't wait to break in from the door, and was about to ask Leo something, but saw a strange Jiviel on the side, and stopped when he came to his mouth.

With Marek's vision and experience, it is not difficult to see that Jiviel is a powerful warrior, if it were in normal times, he may not be so sensitive, but at this moment, especially after discovering the things in the root nest, he has also become extremely cautious, and any strange warrior will be listed as the object of suspicion by him.

Leo could easily guess the other party's thoughts from Malek's obvious expression, so before Malek could ask, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is Miss Givy El, a friend of mine, as you can see, is also an excellent warrior, she has studied with the Night's Watch for a while, so she also knows some ways to hunt monsters. As he spoke, he introduced to Givy Elle: "This is Marek, the head of the Security Bureau, if you have any trouble when you live here, you can go to him." ”

"Hello. Malek wasn't very good at making friends, and after listening to Leo's introduction, he just nodded to Givelle and said hello.

And Jiwei Elle saw that the other party was very cold, and she was not interested in taking the initiative to communicate with her, so she just nodded, even if she knew each other.

Seeing this, Leo didn't say anything, got out of the way, welcomed Malek into the room, and took him to the small dining room next to the main entrance, unhurriedly heated a pot of fruit tea, poured a cup for each of the three of them, and then asked Malek, who had already shown an obvious impatient expression, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"I ......" Malek was about to speak, but he stopped suddenly, and his eyes were very obvious to Givy El, who was elegantly drinking tea, and motioned to Leo to let Givy Elle avoid it first.

It's just that Leo didn't take Jivielle away as Marek wished, but turned to Marek and said, "If you're talking about the Root Nest, I think it might be better for Miss Jiviel to listen here, Miss Jiviel has a lot of experience in hunting monsters, maybe it will be helpful to you." ”

Hearing Leo say this, Malek looked at Jiviel, who had no intention of leaving, hesitated slightly, but still acquiesced to Leo's proposal, and stepped into the topic: "Mr. Leo, did you know from the beginning that the chaos of the fog people would have a stronghold under the root nest?"

"I don't know. Leo quickly gave an answer, and took the initiative to explain: "The Novitzki family has offered a large bounty for catching the murderer of their family's heir, and the bounty contains what I need, so I entrusted Vitzmir to accept the bounty, and used some of my connections here to find the murderer of the White Mist Street murder." ”

"No wonder the people of the Novitsky family are there. Malek was silent for a moment, then asked, "If that person is really the murderer, how can you get a reward if I catch you?"

Leo said half-truthfully: "Actually, I had a confrontation with that person's flower shop in the twenty-seventh district, but that person's strength was a little unexpected, and the surrounding environment was special, so I had to watch him leave." However, the current heir of the Nowitzsky family then asked Vitzmir to bring me a message, saying that I only need to provide the man's location to get what I want, and that I don't need to do anything to capture the man, so your question is not a problem at all. ”

Marek was still a little puzzled, and continued to ask, "In that case, why did you tell me the news again?"

"Because I'm worried that the Novitsky family won't be able to catch that person, I'm going to have the news delivered to you," Leo said, then looked at Marek with a very obvious movement, and said, "But it seems that even if you make a move, it will ......"

Marek's face became a little ugly, and he defended: "I had already caught that person, but an accident suddenly appeared nearby, causing some chaos and allowing him to escape." ”

Although Malek said it simply, Leo could sense that the situation was not simple at all, and that the man should not have just fled, but probably caused some casualties, and those who died were most likely from the Nowitzki family.

Leo also guessed in his heart that when Malek came here today, he probably couldn't withstand the pressure of the second family in the town of Seventh Lake, and began to take the initiative to ask him, an outsider, for help.

Sure enough, just after Malek explained the situation that day, he spoke directly: "I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

"I'm sorry, but the entrance to the wasteland is about to appear, and I'm not going to make a fuss at this time. Leo didn't give Marek a chance to speak, and refused Marek's request without hesitation.

Seeing Leo's refusal, Marek's face was a little ugly, but his character did not allow him to whisper a request to another person, so he didn't say anything more in the end, just stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Leo changed his words and suggested: "However, I can recommend someone, and this person should be able to help you." ”

"Recommend someone?" Marek was stunned, and then realized who the person Leo was referring to, and couldn't help frowning, and confirmed, "The person you are talking about can't be this Miss Givelle, right?"

Hearing the obvious doubt in Leo's tone, Jivielle couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, with a look of displeasure on her face, put down the cup in her hand, and said coldly, "What? As she spoke, she pointed to the long sword behind her back and said, "See, there are at least hundreds of monsters that have died under this sword." ”

"Records are not spoken of. Malek replied coldly.

"Then let's give it a try!" Givy Elle stood up and walked out of the small dining room into the street outside.

Being provoked by a woman made Marek a little displeased, he looked at Leo and said, "Aren't you going to say something?"

Leo smiled and said, "I also agree with what you said, the record is not said with the mouth. ”

Marek didn't say anything more, stood up, walked outside, and said without looking back, "Mr. Leo, I hope you have enough medicine here." ”

Leo replied, "Don't worry, the medicine for your injuries will be enough." ”

After speaking, he had no intention of getting up at all, nor did he use the spiritual net to check the situation outside, but leisurely held the teacup and drank the fruit tea inside, as if the competition being conducted outside did not exist at all.

The competition outside was over quickly, and only a few calls were heard in the house, not even the metal sound of weapons colliding, and then I saw Malek push open the door with a gloomy face and walk in from outside, while Jivielle, who followed him, looked calm, as if she had done something insignificant.

"You didn't tell me she was a wizard!" Marek asked directly as he approached Leo.

Leo retorted, "I don't think your enemies will tell you what they are capable of, and the stronger her is, the more helpful it will be to you, won't she?"

When Malek heard this, he thought about it, as Leo said, if there was Jiviel to help him before, he would not be so embarrassed, so his face looked a little better.

"What do you want?" asked Marek, turning to Givy El.

Jivielle was stunned and looked at Leo, who said that she made her own decision, so she thought for a moment and said, "I may live here for a while, I hope there won't be any trouble finding me during this time." ”

"That's fine. Marek thought for a moment and said, "I'll arrange a position for you as a consultant in the Security Bureau, and you can come to the Security Bureau tomorrow to fill out the identity form!"

"But I don't have an identity. Givy Elle added.

"No identity?" The somewhat sensitive Malek was stunned for a moment, with a slight suspicion on his face, and looked at Gvielle with a scrutinizing gaze, and then looked at Leo inquiringly.

Leo said calmly, "As I said before, she studied with the Night's Watch. ”

Hearing Leo's vague answer, Malek naturally thought in the direction that Leo wanted, coupled with the strength that Gviel had just shown and the words he said, he mistakenly thought that Gviel had been living outside the city before, hunting those fog monsters with the Night's Watch.

So, he looked at Ji Wei Elle with more respect in his eyes, and then said sincerely: "Leave the matter of your identity to me, and I will handle it." With that, he turned to Leo again and said, "Also, I hope that Mr. Leo can continue to help me find out where that person is hiding." ”

"I can only say do my best, after all, that person has been alarmed now, and will only hide more secretly, and it is impossible to find it as easily as before. Leo shook his head slightly, and suggested: "I'll give you a suggestion, you'd better find the current heir of the Novitsky family to cooperate, I believe he wants to find that person more than you, so he will definitely do his best." ”

Marek frowned, a little unimpressed by the proposal, and said casually, "I'll consider it." ”

After saying that, he stood up and walked out, and when he reached the door, he did not forget to remind Jiviel to go to the security station tomorrow.

After Marek left, Givy Elle couldn't help but ask Leo, "Is it a bit too hasty for me to go to the security station?"

Leo explained: "I'm going to a place in a few days, I don't know if I'll be able to come back, this room belongs to someone else, after I leave, you definitely won't be able to live here anymore, now Marek can arrange you a formal status, and there is a job, at least you don't have to worry about life before you leave." ”

"Is the place you're going to dangerous?" said Givelle, apparently misinterpreting Leo's words, "I can help you." ”

"No need!" Leo smiled and rejected Givelle's kindness, saying, "The place I go to is not necessarily dangerous, and there are a lot of people who go, and there is a limit to the number of places, so I can't bring another person in." ”

Seeing Leo say this, Givielle didn't say anything more, and after signaling Leo to speak if he had difficulties, he got up and returned to the secret room upstairs to continue to familiarize himself with the mechanical knowledge he had learned before.

Leo cleaned up the tea set on the table and prepared to go upstairs, but at this moment, there was another knock on the door that had not been closed, and then he saw Vitzmir standing by the door and carefully pushing the door open, sticking his head inside to look, just in time to see Leo coming out of the small restaurant.

It's just that after seeing Leo, Vitzmir suddenly asked him thoughtlessly, "What are you going to do about this?"

"What's the matter?" Leo frowned, looking at Vitzmere who was standing in the doorway reluctant to come in.

"Is it Peter Alcott?" Witzmere was also a little puzzled, but when he saw the look on Leo's face, he immediately thought of something, and said, "So you don't know yet! Peter Alcott died of a sudden illness two days ago. ”

"What did you say?" Hearing this unexpected news, Leo couldn't help but be stunned, and confirmed in surprise: "Is the member of the Alcott family who died two days ago Peter Alcott?"
