"Marek?" Leo's mental network swept across the door and recognized the person knocking on the door.
At this moment, Marek's image is really not that good. His hair is much shorter than before. Although it has been trimmed briefly, traces of burns can still be seen in many places. In addition, his hair is much shorter than before.
One arm seemed to have been broken. It was clamped and wrapped in gauze. There were also a few scars on his face. One of the scars near the eye was very close to his eyeball. A slight deviation could cause it to be injured.
He lost an eye.
Seeing Marek's image, Leo almost didn't need to think too much to be sure that this injury should be related to what happened in the Root Nest.
When he first led Marek to Root's Nest to investigate the mysterious man, Leo had already considered the conflict between the two, but he didn't expect that the result of the conflict would be like this, and that Marek would suffer such serious consequences.
Hurt, this surprised Leo.
"Leo, you have guests." Jivière, who also heard the knock on the door, reminded her when she saw that Leo did not respond to the knock on the door.
"There is a friend downstairs." Leo stood up and was about to go downstairs, but when he reached the stairs at the entrance to the secret room, he said to Jivielle: "Ciri, come with me!"
"Me?" Jiweier was stunned.
Leo explained and said: "The person here is the director of the security bureau of this city. If you can't leave here in a short time, it's best to get to know him so that you can live here more conveniently."
Jivielle thought for a while and felt that what Leo said made sense. According to past experience, it would take at least one or two months for her natural power to recover and bring her back to her own world, so within these one or two months
She must live in this weird world without sunlight for a while. During this period, if there are local powerful people taking care of her, at least she will not always cause some inexplicable troubles like those worlds she experienced in the past.
Thinking of this, Jivielle nodded to Leo, then arranged her clothes and followed Leo downstairs.
After the two came downstairs, as soon as Leo opened the door, an impatient Marek rushed in from the door. He was about to ask Leo something, but he saw a strange person beside him.
Jivière, the words came to her lips and she stopped again.
From Marek's perspective and experience, it is not difficult to see that Jivielle is a powerful warrior. If it were normal, he might 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 considered an object of suspicion by him.
Leo could easily guess what Marek was thinking from his obvious expression, so before Marek asked, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is Miss Jiviaire, a friend of mine.
As you can see, she is also an excellent warrior. She has studied with the Night Watchmen for a period of time, so she also knows some methods of hunting monsters." After that, he introduced to Jivielle: "This is the Security Bureau.
Director Marek, if you encounter any trouble while you are living here, you can go to him."
"Hello." Marek was not very good at making friends with others. After listening to Leo's introduction, he just nodded to Jivielle and said hello.
Jiviaire saw that the other party was acting very coldly and had no interest in actively communicating with him, so she just nodded, even if they knew each other.
Leo didn't say anything when he saw this. He stepped aside, welcomed Marek into the house, and took him to the small restaurant next to the main entrance. He unhurriedly heated up a pot of fruit tea and poured a cup for each of the three of them.
, and then asked Marek, who had an obviously impatient expression, "What do you want from me?"
"I..." Marek was about to speak, but he suddenly stopped. His eyes were extremely obvious and he gestured towards Jiviaire who was drinking tea elegantly, indicating to Leo to let Jiviaire go first.
Avoid it.
However, Leo did not send Jivielle away as Marek wished. Instead, he said to Marek: "If what you are talking about is about the Root Nest, I want Jivielle to go away."
It might be better for the lady to sit in here and listen. Miss Jivière has rich experience in hunting monsters, which may be of some help to you."
Hearing what Leo said, Marek looked at Jivielle who had no intention of leaving. He hesitated for a moment, then acquiesced to Leo's proposal and got to the point: "Mr. Leo, are you a
Did you know from the beginning that the chaos of the Mist Folk would have a stronghold under Rootnest?"
"I don't know." Leo quickly gave the answer, and took the initiative to explain: "The Nowitzki family has offered a large reward to catch the murderer who killed their family heir. The reward contains
I needed something, so I entrusted Witsmir to accept the reward, and used some of my connections here to find the murderer of the White Mist Street murder."
"No wonder people from the Nowitzki family will appear there." Marek was silent for a moment and then asked: "If that person is really the murderer, how can you get the reward if I catch you?"
Leo said half-truth: "Actually, I had a confrontation with that person in the flower shop in District 27, but that person's power was a bit unexpected, and the surrounding environment was special, so it was not suitable for a big fight.
, so I had to watch him leave. However, later, the current heir of the Nowitzki family asked Wizmir to bring me a message, saying that I only need to provide the person's location to get what I want.
As for arresting that person, I don’t need to take action, so your question is not a problem at all.”
Marek was still a little confused and continued to ask: "If that's the case, why did you tell me the news again?"
"Because I'm worried that the Nowitzki family won't be able to catch that person, I asked someone to send you the news," Leo said, then looked at Marek with an extremely obvious movement and said
: "But it seems that even if you take action,..."
Marek's face became a little ugly, and he defended: "The man was already caught, but an accident suddenly appeared nearby, causing some chaos and allowing him to escape."
Although Marek said it very simply, Leo could feel that the situation at that time was probably not simple at all, and that person should not only escape, but also probably cause some casualties. There is a high chance that those who died were
Nowitzki family.
Leo also guessed that if Marek came here today, he might not be able to withstand the pressure from the second family in Seventh Lake Town and began to take the initiative to seek help from him, an outsider.
Sure enough, after Marek explained the situation that day, he said directly: "I want to ask you to do me a favor."
"Sorry, the entrance to the abandoned city is about to appear. I don't plan to cause trouble at this time." Leo refused Marek's request without giving Marek a chance to speak.
Seeing Leo's refusal, Marek's face became a little uglier, but his character did not allow him to be humble to another person's request, so in the end he didn't say anything more, stood up directly, and was about to leave.
But at this moment, Leo changed the subject and suggested: "However, I can recommend someone who should be able to help you."
"Recommend someone?" Marek was stunned for a moment, and then realized who Leo was referring to. He couldn't help but frowned and confirmed: "The person you are talking about is not Miss Jiviaire, right?
?”
Hearing the obvious doubt in Leo's tone, Jiviaire couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, with an unhappy look on her face, put down the cup in her hand, and said coldly: "What? You think I'm not suitable.
"As she spoke, she pointed to the long sword on her back and said, "Have you seen this? There are at least hundreds of monsters who died under this sword."
"Achievements are not what you say with your mouth." Marek responded coldly.
"Then let's give it a try!" Jiviera stood up, walked out of the small restaurant, and went out to the street.
Being provoked by a woman made Marek a little unhappy. He looked at Leo and said, "Aren't you going to say something?"
Leo smiled and said: "I also agree with what you said, achievements are not expressed with words."
Marek said no 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 you will definitely be enough."
After saying that, he had no intention of getting up, nor did he use the mental network to check the situation outside. Instead, he held the tea cup leisurely and drank the fruit tea inside, as if the competition going on outside did not exist at all.
The competition outside ended quickly. Only a few shouts from Marek were heard in the house, not even the sound of metal hitting weapons. Then Marek was seen opening the door with a gloomy face and walking out of the house.
He came in, and Jivière, who was following him, looked very calm, as if she had done something insignificant.
"You didn't tell me that she was a wizard!" Marek asked directly after coming to Leo's side.
Leo retorted: "I don't think your enemies will tell you what abilities they have, and the stronger she is, the more helpful she is to you, isn't it?"
After Marek heard this, he thought about it. Just as Leo said, if Jiviaire had helped before, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, so his face looked a little better.
"What are your conditions?" Marek asked Jivière at this time.
Jiveaire was stunned and looked at Leo. Leo said that she would make her own decision, so she thought about it and said, "I may stay here for a while, and I hope nothing will happen during this period."
Please find me."
"That's no problem." Marek thought for a moment and said, "I will arrange a consultant position for you in the Security Bureau. You just need to come to the Security Bureau tomorrow to fill out the identity form!"
"But I have no identity." Jiviaire said again.
"No identity?" Marek, who was somewhat sensitive, was stunned for a moment, with a little suspicion on his face. He looked at Jivielle with a scrutinizing gaze, and then looked at Leo inquiringly.
Leo said calmly: "As I said before, she once studied at the Night Watchman."
Hearing Leo's vague answer, Marek naturally thought in the direction Leo wanted. Coupled with the strength Jivielle had just shown and the words she said, he mistakenly thought
Jivielle used to live outside the city, hunting those fog monsters with the night watchmen.
So, he looked at Jiweier with more respect, and then said sincerely: "Leave your identity to me, I will take care of it." After saying that, he turned his head again.
He turned to Leo and said, "In addition, I hope Mr. Leo can continue to help me find out where that person is hiding."
"I can only say that I will do my best. After all, that person has been alerted now and will only hide more secretly. He will no longer be as easy to find as before." Leo shook his head slightly and suggested: "I'll give it to you.
Here’s a suggestion, you’d better cooperate with the current heir of the Nowitzki family. I believe he wants to find that person more than you do, so he will definitely do his best.”
Marek frowned, somewhat disapproving of the proposal, and said casually: "I will consider it."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he did not forget to remind Jivière to go to the security station tomorrow.
After Marek left, Jivielle couldn't help but ask Leo: "Am I a little too hasty in going to the Security Bureau?"
Leo explained: "I will go to a place in a few days. I don't know if I can come back. This room belongs to someone else. After I leave, you will definitely not be able to live here anymore. Now Marek can just give it to me."
You arrange a formal identity and have a job, so at least you don’t need to worry about life matters before you leave.”
"Is the place you are going to dangerous?" Jiviaire obviously misunderstood Leo's words and said, "I can help you."
"No need!" Leo smiled and rejected Jivielle's kindness, and said: "The place I go to may not necessarily be dangerous, and there are many people going there. There is a quota, so I can't bring another person with me.
Go in."
Seeing what Leo said, Jiviaire didn't say anything else. She signaled Leo to speak up if he had any difficulties, then got up and returned to the secret room upstairs to continue familiarizing himself with the mechanical knowledge he had learned before.
Leo packed up the tea sets on the table and prepared to go upstairs, but at this moment, there was another knock on the door that was not closed, and then he saw Witsmir standing by the door and carefully pushing it open.
, stretched his head inside to look around, and happened to see Leo coming out of the small restaurant.
But after seeing Leo, Witsmir suddenly asked him in a confused manner: "What are you going to do about this matter?"
"What's the matter?" Leo frowned, looking puzzled at Witsmir who was standing at the door and unwilling to come in.
"Is it about Peter Alcott?" Wizmir was also a little confused, but after seeing the look on Leo's face, he immediately thought of something and said: "So you don't know yet! Peter Orcott
Kurt suddenly passed away two days ago."
