After making this discovery, Leo also had a guess in his mind, so he pointed to the oil painting and asked, "Your Excellency Francis, is the young man in that oil painting you?"

"Yes. St. Phosis didn't understand why Leo suddenly changed the subject, but he nodded patiently and said, "Yes, that's me, and the content above is my experience of following my mentor when I was young, and I think that experience is the most important experience of my life, so I found someone to draw it and hang it here to remind myself that I am just a humble pathfinder at all times." ”

Leo suddenly asked again, "Your surname is Alcott?"

St. Phosis was stunned, and at first he didn't quite understand the reason for Leo's inquiry, but he still said truthfully: "When I became an ascetic and gave up my past, I also gave up my name, and my surname at that time was Alcott. At this point, he paused suddenly, seemed to think of something, his expression became a little excited, and then he asked urgently, "Did you see Andrew Alcott at 9 Golden Oak Street?"

"Nope. Leo shook his head, and before St. Phosis was disappointed, he added, "But I have seen his descendants. ”

"Descendants?" St. Phosis was stunned, not understanding what Leo said for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Can you tell me in detail what is going on inside Nine Golden Oak Street?"

"Absolutely. Leo nodded, but changed his mind and said, "But Your Excellency needs to agree to two conditions for me. ”

St. Phosis smiled when he heard this, and said, "It's been a long time since anyone has negotiated terms with me like this, don't you say?

"Actually, two very simple conditions. Leo didn't care about the power that St. Phosis leaked intentionally or unintentionally, and said calmly: "The first is to tell me, what is the relationship between you and Andrew Alcott, and what is the matter?"

St. Phosis was stunned, he didn't expect Leo to put forward such a condition, although this condition had touched his personal privacy, but he didn't feel annoyed by it, but thought about it a little, nodded, and said: "Since Mr. Leo wants to know, I'll just talk about it! Alcott was my father, I was born at 9 Golden Oak Street, and I was named Quinn Alcourt before I got the name of Fox. ”

"Quinn Alcott?" Leo confirmed slightly, "Andrew Alcott's youngest son, Quinn Alcott?"

"Yes. St. Phosis nodded.

Leo was a little puzzled and asked, "Aren't you dead?" and you're ...... age."

"I am very old, I have long exceeded the limit of normal life, in fact, I should have gone to see my lord a long time ago, but my lord did not want to see me, he mercifully let me continue to live in this world, and spread the word for him. St. Phosis smiled, and then said, "I was just lucky, when the disaster struck, I was taken out of the manor by the servants of the family to play on the lake, so I was able to survive, and afterwards the priest of my lord took me to raise me, and I volunteered to be an ascetic missionary when I became an adult, and I have been an ascetic missionary until today." ”

"Have you ever been to Nine Golden Oak Street afterwards?" asked Leo in a deep voice.

"I have been, after I became a priest, I found that I could get an answer from my Lord after every prayer, and I was confident that I could find out what had happened in my house and get an answer, but ......," said St. Phosis, pausing, and then smiling wryly, "I stood outside Nine Golden Oak Street for a day and a night, and in the end I was not able to take that step into the manor." As he spoke, he sighed heavily, looked at Leo and said, "This matter has been my heart problem for so many years, I thought that it would be impossible to get an answer until I went to see my lord, but at this time you appeared, you should be the first person to come out of 9 Golden Oak Street alive." ”

Leo shook his head slightly and said, "I shouldn't be the first, I remember that there seems to be another person before me......"

"No, you're the first," St. Phosis interrupted Leo, "I know which one you're talking about, but it's not human. ”

Leo frowned and said, "Even if that is not a human, but an unknown family, his knowledge should be able to ......."

"No, you're mistaken, I don't mean the family. St. Phosis shook his head and said, "It's a monster you've never seen before. ”

After saying that, St. Phosis got up and walked to the bookcase on the side, carefully searched the bookcase, found a very old document, patted the dust on it, opened it to confirm it, and then walked back and handed it to Leo.

Leo was not polite, took the document and flipped through it.

This document is a report document, and the main content in it is that the Paladin of the Church of the Hill Kings in Miria and others are working together to capture the so-called family from 9 Golden Oak Street. In this report, in addition to a detailed description of the capture process, it also specifically explained the situation of the so-called dependents, which focused on the monster after death, turned into a puddle of black oil, and this black oil is extremely corrosive and contagious.

In the report, it is mentioned that there are two pious knights of the Lord of the Sky, basically in a few years they will be able to receive the charismatic ritual and become paladins, and these two pious knights were inadvertently contaminated with this black oil, and their bodies immediately appeared to corrode in a large area.

Later, the clergy of the Church of the Lord of the Sky removed the black oil from the two pious knights and treated their corrupted bodies, but the two pious knights went insane, and according to what they had said before they went mad, they seemed to hear some kind of indescribable cries of terror.

"Abyss. Leo quickly thought about the origin of the Black Oil, and it was clear that the survivor of Nine Golden Oak Street, who was considered a family, was actually an Abyss mutant.

Leo put the report down, turned to St. Phosis, and asked, "Didn't you suspect that I had become that kind of monster?"

"Doubted. St. Phosis said truthfully: "But after we investigated, we found that there is no problem with you. ”

Leo thought of the snoopers he had found in Port Seth, and he thought they were either black marketeers or people from the Kingdom of England, but he didn't expect that there were people from the church among them.

"The first condition is completed, let's talk about the second condition, right?" Leo didn't ask any more, but continued the previous topic, and said: "The second condition is also very simple, you need to pay for an item equivalent to the information I provided, this item can be information, it can be intelligence, or it can be an item. ”

St. Phosis frowned, apparently the second condition was much more difficult in his mind than the first, for he was unsure of the value of the information Leo had provided about Nine Golden Oak Street, and he was not sure if he would be able to pay for something of equal value.

Leo saw what St. Phosis was thinking, and said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to think about the value first, I can tell you what happened after entering No. 9 Golden Oak Street, and then you will decide how much it is worth, of course, Your Excellency can then say that what I said is useless, only worth a copper horn, and I will not refute the value set by Your Excellency, take that copper horn and leave, and will not make any trouble with Your Excellency or the King of the Hill Church." ”

"Very interesting," said St. Phosis, smiling, taking out a copper slot from the cloth bag hanging from his belt, placing it on the table, "in that case I will take out the advance first." ”

Leo didn't care about this copper slot, he just picked it up, put it in his pocket, and then told him what happened to him at 9 Golden Oak Street very carefully, because he had told Sylvia about it before, so he can be said to be familiar with it now.

Originally, he was going to hide the matter about the ruined capital and the place where everything ended, but he didn't do that, but said it in great detail, and looked at St. Phosis as he said it.

Although St. Phosis's expression was very calm throughout the whole process, when he mentioned the environment and scenery of Lake Town, the development of the Alcott family in Lake Town, the Church of Gods in Lake Town, and the place where everything ended, the expression on his face changed slightly, this change was not strong, and ordinary people might ignore it, but Leo, who was particularly attentive, captured this change in his expression.

After talking about the fact that he was about to enter the next world, but unexpectedly returned to the world of Velon, Leo stopped and did not continue.

Leo then asked directly, "This is what I happened at 9 Golden Oak Street, do you think this information is worth only one copper slot now?"

St. Phosis did not answer, he seemed to be still immersed in what Leo had said, and Leo did not ask, just sat there quietly, but his mind was recalling the meaning of the subtle expression on St. Phosis just now.

"He knows the town on the lake. Leo carefully recalled the first subtle expression that St. Phosis had leaked, and immediately came to a conclusion.

The subtle expression on St. Phosis's face was thrilled and agitated when Leo spoke of the town on the lake, and recounted a little about the town on the lake, which was guarded by a thick fog, as if a secret he had known for a long time had now been revealed.

This mood swing was also the largest of several subtle mood swings, and even this emotion made St. Phosis couldn't help but ask Leo about more details about Lake Town, such as the environment and buildings of Lake Town, etc., which was also the only time he asked in the whole process.

From the subsequent change in expression, it can be seen that he was comparing what Leo had said, so that when he talked about the history of the development of the Alcott family in Laketown, he was a little distracted, obviously thinking about other things about Laketown.

And when Leo later mentioned the church in Lake Town, he inevitably frowned, whether it was the church of the corpse collector, or the church of the True Eye, or even the church of the Mother of the Nest was a cult in his eyes, but when he heard that the Lady of the Lake actually had a church in the town of Lake, and even developed very well, his face showed a look of hesitation, there was no doubt that the Lady of the Lake was completely out of his expectations.

However, he didn't ask for more details about the development of the Church of the Lady of the Lake in Lake Town, and let Leo continue.

It wasn't until Leo mentioned the ruined capital and mentioned the place where everything ended that his face changed again, although the expression on his face did not change very much, but Leo could feel that his heart was a little chaotic at this moment, because St. Phosis's breathing also became a lot shorter, and this situation continued until Leo finally finished speaking, and even after speaking, he did not recover.

After a while, St. Phosis's breathing calmed down a little, he also recovered from his contemplation, and looked at Leo with complicated eyes, opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to speak, and after a little silence, he sighed heavily, and said: "The value of the information you provide is very great, unimaginably large, even I can't make an assessment. ”

"I seem to be lucky, this information is worth more than a copper slot. Leo smiled, and then asked directly, "So how will Your Excellency pay me now?"

"The amount of money I have now is far from compensating for the value of this information. St. Phosis replied truthfully to Leo.

Leo smiled and said, "Your Excellency doesn't want to tell me that you have to pay the bill, right?"

"Of course not. St. Phosis shook his head, pondered for a moment, then stood up, walked to the desk, crouched down, searched the desk carefully, and then took out a very thick notebook, which was almost as thick as a canon.

When he took out this notebook, St. Phosis had a deep look of nostalgia on his face, as if this notebook had an extremely important place in his heart, so much so that he was now a little hesitant.

But in the end, he made a decision, walked up to Leo with the notebook, handed the notebook to Leo, and said: "Although it seems to me that this notebook is still much less valuable than the information you provided, I believe that this notebook will definitely compensate you for the information you just provided in your eyes." ”

Leo took the notebook in confusion, only to see that the cover of the notebook was made of animal skins similar to snake skins and lizard skins, although the production process was simple, but it was clumsy, and the name of the note's owner was written on the cover in a Gamoret variant.
