The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 153: The Duke of White Boots

After listening to Sophie’s complaint, Leo was silent for a moment, indicating that Sophie could leave. After closing the door, he sat at the table, put on his glasses, and wrote on the paper on the table.

Although the rumors about the flower shop in the 27th district sounds unreasonable, it is more like the similar industry in the 23rd district deliberately rumored and hurt the reputation of the flower shop, but think about it, this matter is really not related to the flower shop ? Leo doesn't think so.

If there is only this rumor, Leo may believe that this is an artificial rumor, but Sophie mentioned that the prostitute named Melinda had a valuable ornament before her disappearance, then things changed. Not so simple.

According to the books I read before, the silver shell is a unique shellfish produced in Silver Moon City. It usually stays in the lake, and only climbs to the shore at a specific time. The shell also hardens and gets silver after drying. When the shells fall off, the silver shells will re-grow a new layer of shells, and the shells that have fallen out are the jeweller's favorite high-end jewelry materials.

The reason why the jeweler likes silver shells as a jewelry material is because when adding some silver shell powders in the process of jewelry extraction, the jewelry produced will be permanently new and will naturally emit after the moonlight is absorbed. The soft light gives the wearer a hazy beauty that is unclear and unclear.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of silver shells, together with the very low production, that a piece of the same jewelry, with or without silver shell powder, has a ten-fold price difference, even in the seventh lake town, with silver shell jewelry, and Noble enough to give away casually without being noticeable. In the seventh, the Alcott family counted one, and the Nowitzki family occupied second place. As for the other noble families, no matter the background or financial power, they are worse than the two noble families.

Nowadays, a heir to the Novisky family who is qualified and has the financial resources to send silver shell jewellery at will has also died, and he was disguised as a murder after his death. Leo feels that there must be a connection. He also found that the speculation he made in the morgue of the Security Bureau seemed to be wrong, or more correctly, it was incomplete. There must be a family fight, but there may be other reasons besides the family fight. The heirs of the Ji family died.

"Would he really fall in love with a prostitute?" Leo suddenly came up with a bold but likely guess.

If the heir of the Nowitzki family really fell in love with that Melinda, then if Melinda had an accident, he would definitely start an investigation. With the ability of the Nowitzki family, the clues to find out these murders should not be It was too difficult, so he became a nail in the eye and a thorn in the flesh that the murderer had to remove.

Thinking of this, Leo muttered: "It seems that the flower shop in the 27th district is still the key."

"Bang, Bang, Bang!" At this time, there was a knocking sound outside the window of this room. Leo's spiritual net found a large group of elves carrying large and small packages on the eaves outside, but No figure of Duke White Boots was found, but from the gaze direction and body orientation of those elves, he was able to analyze that Duke White Boots should be standing by the window.

Leo walked to the window and opened the window. As he expected, the Duke of White Boots, who could shield the exploration of the spirit net, was standing by the window, raising his hand, ready to knock on the window again.

"Sorry! Did I come too soon, bother you!" Duke White Boots quickly saluted Leo and said.

"No interruption, come in!" Leo let out, and found a wooden plank on the side of the window, forming a slope.

"Thank you." The Duke of White Boots was very grateful for Leo's careful care. After saying thanks to Leo, he squeaked twice to the group of rats climbing behind the eaves, and the group of rats immediately ordered Walked through the small eaves aisle, walked down the slope, put the parcel on the ground, and then retreated around the road and changed into the house.

Seeing this scene, Leo sat down at his desk and waited for the other party to deliver the pieces of the transaction he had chosen for him to the house.

Although the Duke of White Boots did not show it, Leo still can see from some of its actions that it still does not trust itself, and is also afraid of this house full of institutions. Therefore, it would not enter the house by itself, but let its men pretend to be a trader, enter the house first, and check the situation of the house.

After each sprite entered the house, it put the goods in different positions, and then walked back from other routes. Such obvious tentative action fully revealed its thoughts and purpose, but it was not conscious.

Leo did not tell the careful thought of the Duke of White Boots, but pretended to have found nothing, and sat quietly waiting for all the items to be brought in.

It didn't take long for the forty-three trading items about the size of a fist to be delivered to the room. At this time, the Duke of White Boots walked into the room with a little confidence. Although it seemed that its pace was very relaxed, it was almost The straightened tail undoubtedly revealed its tense emotions.

Leo picked up the five high-energy substances from the table, walked to the Duke of White Boots, sat cross-legged on the ground, put the high-energy substances in his hands in front of the Duke of White Boots, and said, "This is what you want. ?"

"Yes! Yes! It's them." When the Duke of White Boots saw the items he needed badly, the timidity in his heart disappeared instantly, and he flew to one of the high-energy substances that were half its size, tightly hugged, deep I was afraid that this thing would disappear from my eyes, and my nose sniffed **** it, as if I was smelling something strange.

"Relax, no one will rob you." Leo smiled when he saw this exaggerated behavior of the wise elf and said.

"Grab it! Who dares to **** my baby!" Leo's words seemed to give the Duke of White Boots great excitement. I saw it jumping up and standing on the biggest high-energy substance, pulling out the toothpick sword from the waist. His face looked around cautiously.

When he saw only Leo around, and Leo looked at himself with a smile on his face again, the Duke of White Boots realized that he had made a big joke, and quickly put away the sword, bowed his head embarrassedly, and looked towards Leo Said: "Mr. Dodd, I'm sorry! I was so nervous just now, after all, this thing is very important to me."

Leo said with a smile: "Duke White Boots, you are not a qualified businessman, all your cards are revealed at once, if I greedily want all your trades, I am afraid you can only promise ."

"Ah!" Duke White Boots froze for a moment, then looked at Leo very confidently, and said: "You are a noble person, you won't do it."

"Never downgrade human greed. Sometimes humans will behave noblely and fairly, because the price is not enough, and when the price is right, noble people will become shameless and low." Leo seems to think of something , The tone of the speech was also slightly affectionate, but this emotion soon dissipated, before the Duke of White Boots fully understood the meaning of these words, he pointed to the pile of transactions and said: "We will wait for the exchange , Five for five, hoping to find five useful things from these things."

"I'll help you." The Duke of White Boots ran very aggressively and hugged the nearest parcel before Leo, and hugged the high-energy substance tightly.

"You don't have to do it yourself, let me do it myself!" Leo said as he untied the fist-sized package in front of him and looked at the contents.

I saw a beautiful ornament in the package, which was very precious. It should have been carefully selected by the Duke of White Boots according to human habits. Unfortunately, this thing was not useful for Leo.

Seeing Leo wrap things up again, the Duke of White Boots was a bit frustrated, but soon regained his spirit, urging: "Look at the others, look at the others, you must like it."

Leo signaled that the Duke of White Boots didn't need to be impatient. He reached out and unpacked these small packages one by one. Most of the packages were expensive items like jewelry, which were not what Leo wanted. In the end, only three items made Leo interested. , Because these three items are psionic items.

From the Turing roots on the items, it can be seen that the three items should be the remnants of a set of psionic items. There are obvious traces of damage on the items. This trace of damage is not a damage caused by the cold weapon, but more like It is a kind of damage traces made by some high-energy weapons such as lasers and high-beam ions. Leo is very familiar with such damage traces and can be recognized at a glance.

Leo took these three psionic objects that could not be seen in their original shape, and looked closely at them, and found some small text on the fragments, which he had never seen before, like an extremely Ancient cuneiform.

"Well! What's the matter?" Leo put the text on the fragment into the database, and then compared the language he has learned to see if he could find the pattern, but then he suddenly was able to do it, like I found something extraordinary, the realization fell on the film again, and the expression on my face was a little more surprised.

The reason why Leo suddenly showed a surprised expression was because he found that he could see the text clearly without wearing special glasses.

In the past, he has made many attempts and found that as long as it is ordinary text, no matter what type of writing is written, who is writing, even if he writes some words by himself, without wearing special glasses All the text is vague and chaotic, and only the Gamorian language with magical power is immune to this interference power.

"Is this also a Gamorian language?" Leo had doubts in his mind. At this time, the analysis and comparison results of the auxiliary brain system also came out and showed in Leo's eyes.

I can see that according to the comparison of language structure, 97% of this cuneiform font is Block language. Block language is a type of the French language family. Because it is only used by the indigenous people in the Block Mountains, it is very early. The major language systems have previously been withdrawn.

It's just that because this language is the source of all cuneiform fonts in the ancient French language family, there have always been people studying this language, making this language relatively well preserved in all French ancient language families, the main grammatical structure and a few letters The words are retained.

After seeing the analysis of the para-brain system, Leo immediately realized that these three sets of pieces of psionic items were probably from the Velon world, so he could see these words without using special glasses. And from the point of view of the use of this text, it is likely that this item was brought into this dream world very long ago by wizards or other psionicists in the Velon world.

"Where were these three things found?" Leo asked the three pieces of psionic items in front of the White Boot Duke.

The Duke of White Boots was very happy to see Leo interested in the three items he had brought. Hearing the inquiry, he quickly jumped in front of Leo, carefully looked at the three fast fragments, and quickly remembered With the origin of these three pieces, the mouse's face also showed a serious look.

"Mr. Dodd, is this thing important to you?" Shen Sheng, the Duke of White Boots, asked.

Leo responded: "It's not important, it's only useful to me."

The Duke of White Boots hesitated and said: "I am very happy with you, so I don't want to cause any harm to you because of this transaction. I was busy packing things and I didn't pay attention to these three pieces. The things that should be taken out are taken out. You may cause trouble if you hold this thing, or even..."

"Don't worry about me~www.wuxiahere.com~ I won't have any trouble." Leo can hear that the Duke of White Boots is really worried about his safety. Perhaps more of them do not want to lose a suitable trader. But he still appreciated it, smiling with relief.

Seeing Leo did not take his warning seriously, the Duke of White Boots was anxious and wanted to end the transaction, but its sight fell on the pieces of high-energy material, but hesitated again, struggling with his heart After a long time, I still couldn't bear the temptation of those high-energy substances, and said the origins of the three fragments: "They are all from the first chief wizard tower of the wizarding association."

Hearing this answer, Leo couldn't help but stunned. He didn't expect that these things collected by the Duke of White Boots would even involve the big figures such as the first chief wizard.

Perhaps it has already been said, and the Duke of White Boots has no worries. He continued: "This thing was stolen from the treasure chest of the first chief wizard tower. At that time, someone sneaked into the treasure trove and stolen things. Later, the wizard was alerted. The magical puppet guards of the tower, and those puppet guards all chased the thief, and I dived into the treasure trove and stole three things that I could afford. Later, the first chief wizard put the entire silver moon city under martial law, saying that The thief stole a very important thing, and I wanted to find the thief. But I know very well that the thief was discovered by the magic puppet guard without actually taking anything. The only thing missing from the treasure trove is the three I took. thing."

After listening to the Duke of White Boots, Leo suddenly said, "Are you the first chief pet?"

After listening to this, the Duke of White Boots was stunned, and then shook his head like he heard something disgusting, saying, "How could I be the pet of that bad old man? This is simply an insult to me, if it's not good to see you, I will definitely fight you now and use your blood to scrub my reputation."
