Chapter 186 The embarrassing expedition
"Do you know me?" After his identity was exposed by Leo, Charles Longco couldn't help but froze, looking at Leo's face, as if he wanted to recall Leo's figure in his memory.
However, Charles Longco did not know that the person standing in front of him who easily recognized his identity was actually seeing him for the first time, and the reason why he was able to reveal his identity was more of a guess based on luck.
When checking the chains that bound the two bodies, Leo also took this opportunity to check Charles Longco's body through the spiritual network and sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations contained in his body.
In the town of Seventh Lake, there are many people with powerful psychic fluctuations. In the wake hall just before, in addition to Anna Alcott, there were several dignitaries of the town of Seventh Lake who had extremely powerful abilities.
of psychic energy fluctuations.
However, there is no one who possesses powerful psychic energy fluctuations, and at the same time, the psychic energy fluctuations are full of aggression, and even give people the feeling that they will explode at any time.
Since Charles Longco has the title of Expeditioner, it means that he is often involved in battles, so his psychic fluctuations must be both powerful and offensive.
It is precisely for these reasons that Leo makes such a bold guess, not to mention that there is no loss even if the guess is wrong.
I saw that Leo did not directly answer Charles Longco's question. Instead, he deliberately showed a look of reminiscence on his face and said with emotion: "I know you, but you don't know me. You must know that you were the center of attention at that time.
object, and I am just a small person among the crowd."
Leo's words brought Charles Longco's thinking to a fork in the road. He didn't even think that the person in front of him had anything to do with the Wizards Association. Instead, he thought that the person in front of him had participated in the triumphal banquet of one of his campaigns.
.
However, thinking of his current situation, Charles Longco was so embarrassed that he could not speak. He was too embarrassed to even ask Leo to untie himself, so he could only hope that Leo would take the initiative to let him go.
Today was definitely a disaster day for Charles Alcott. What he thought was a simple thing turned out to be unexpected. First, there was a woman in the room that was not mentioned in the intelligence, and then this woman was surprisingly powerful.
, and also possesses innate witchcraft such as infinite flash. The biggest surprise is that this seemingly ordinary house actually has such a powerful confinement mechanism. When the mechanism was activated, he did not even have time to escape from the house and was trapped.
Caught.
When he was caught and discovered that the chains that bound him were all magical objects used to imprison wizards, he began to remember some of the information he had seen before but had ignored, and realized that this room turned out to be Peter Orko's.
Special built it himself, which also made him re-examine Peter Alcott's mechanical manufacturing capabilities.
When he was in Silvermoon City, Charles Longco had already heard of Peter Alcott's reputation as a mechanical master, but he was addicted to magical witchcraft and had always looked down on the practice of making mechanical tools to enhance his combat power.
, even he himself sometimes uses some mechanical crossbows and rides on airships.
However, now the mechanical house built by Peter Alcott has made him realize that these steam machines are not as simple as he thought before. If these machines are used appropriately, an ordinary person can definitely cause harm to a wizard.
Deadly threat.
While his past ideas have changed, he is also thankful from the bottom of his heart that there is only one Peter Alcott in the Lake District Alliance. If there were a few more people like Peter Alcott, I am afraid that the Wizards Association's absolute rule over the Lake District Alliance would be
There will be some wavering.
However, he also decided to return to Silvery Moon City after the matter of the abandoned capital was resolved. He must report it to the top management of the association to curb the development of these steam machinery in Hushang Town to prevent the rule of the Wizards Association from being shaken.
Just when Charles Langke secretly made a decision in his heart, Leo did not let him go as he wanted after knowing his identity. Instead, he said with a slight sarcasm in his tone: "Your Excellency Langke, although I am born
I don’t know much about etiquette, but breaking in when the owner is not at home should be called banditry, right? Can you tell me what good things I have here that are worthy of your spending so much money, and I will not hesitate to borrow and cooperate
On the pretext of helping me inherit my inheritance, you deceived me out of the house, and then broke into my house to steal things?"
Hearing Leo's words, Charles Longco felt that Leo had misunderstood, and connected his breaking into the house with the previous discussion of cooperation with him, thinking that the previously negotiated cooperation was just an excuse.
Charles Longco has already seen Jiviaire's strength, and subconsciously believes that Leo's strength should be above Jiviaire, so he is not willing to lose a capable helper who can wish him success because of this accident.
So he quickly came up with an excuse and explained: "Mr. Dodd, you have misunderstood. The main reason why I came here is because I am worried about the partner that Witsmir helped me choose. After all, the wasteland is
This matter is really important to me, so I decided to make a temporary trip in person and come here to meet you, my collaborator."
"Oh! That's it." Leo didn't believe a word of Charles Longco's words in his heart, but there was a look of surprise on his face, and he nodded, seeming to agree with this statement.
Charles Longco, who had never told such a lie, was also slightly relieved, but he did not see Leo's still expression secretly signaling Jivière, who was about to expose Charles Longco's lies, not to speak.
Leo did not embarrass Charles Longco anymore. He found the mechanism socket hidden on the wall through the spiritual network, inserted the key into it, turned it a few times, and then just like the small cage before, the few ropes tied up Charles
·The chains of Langke and Jiweier were also automatically untied and retracted into the wall.
"Tomorrow I will ask Witsmir to pick you up. Come to my place, meet the other collaborators, and discuss the specific matters after entering the waste city." After loosening the restraints, Charles Longco sorted out the somewhat messy things.
Clothes did not raise his head to look at Leo head-on. He seemed to say something casually, and then he directly got out of the hole in the window. His whole body turned into a black shadow and merged into the darkness.
"This guy doesn't tell the truth." Jiviaire rubbed her shoulders that were a little sore from being stuck in chains for a long time, looked at the place where Charles Longco disappeared, and said angrily: "This guy must be
What are you looking for in the house? When I found him, he had been rummaging in the room for a long time."
"I know he didn't tell the truth, but it won't do me any good to keep asking. This person's identity is extraordinary, and he and I are both collaborators, so there's no need to embarrass each other so much." Leo said, looking at each other.
He glanced around the already messy room and said meaningfully: "And even if he is looking for something in this room, it has nothing to do with me. The thing he is looking for is probably left by the previous owner of this house.
s things."
Jiveaire picked up the long sword that fell on the ground, inserted it into the scabbard behind her, and then said with great interest: "However, I think he hasn't found what he is looking for yet, how about we look for it?"
look."
"Do you know what he is looking for?" Leo asked with a smile.
"Uh, I don't know." Jiweier was stunned and shook her head.
"How can we find something if we don't even know what it is? What's more, the thing may not be in this room." Leo tactfully rejected Jivière's treasure hunting proposal, and then changed the topic to her and Charles Longco.
The situation of fighting.
When it came to this fight, Jivière also seemed very excited. She danced and recounted the whole process in detail. From how she discovered that there was abnormal movement downstairs, to her fight with Charles Longco, to how she hid.
Let’s talk about Charles Longco’s fatal blow, and how Charles Longco’s attack broke the window, triggered the mechanism in the house, and other processes.
According to the way she told it, Leo felt that the fight between the two of them just now was an epic battle that affected the world situation.
When Jivielle narrated things, she used some gorgeous and exaggerated words that bards often used, so Leo, as the listener, had to use the accessory brain system to eliminate those redundant words and streamline them.
The last text was given back to him.
Although Jivière has always said that she had the upper hand from beginning to end, judging from the signs of destruction in the room and the injuries on Jivière's body, Leo felt that Jivière should not have the upper hand for long.
, and then she can only use her natural ability to fight with Charles Longco.
There is nothing to study about the fight between the two. Through the analysis of the secondary brain system, there are only two points worthy of Leo's attention. The first point is that Charles Longco is a combat wizard who is both good at witchcraft and knows melee combat. The second point is that
The point is that Charles Longco should not have been completely imprisoned by the chains just now, and there are still some stronger means left, which are enough to get him out.
Leo walked to the damaged wall, carefully looked at the signs of damage around it, and then recalled the amazingly powerful witchcraft Jivielle mentioned, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
Judging from Jivière's description of witchcraft, Charles Lanco's witchcraft of destroying windows and walls is similar to the psychic shock that Leo can now use, but the problem is that the gap between the two is too big.
Leo's psychic impact can only destroy the window at most. As for the window frame connected to the wall, it will definitely not be damaged in the psychic impact, and Charles Longco's psionic impact-like witchcraft can actually tear it apart directly.
By cracking this solid wall, it can be seen that his witchcraft is more than ten times more powerful than the psychic impact.
But the problem is that Leo used the mental network to check the psychic fluctuations of Charles Langke just now, and found that his psychic strength should be between level four and five, which is only one psychic level higher than his own, but
The power of psychic shock is not enough to cause such damage. This means that the kind of witchcraft performed by Charles Longco either has some kind of secret that creates powerful power, or he has something that can improve
Wizarding artifacts of witchcraft power.
"Leo, you seemed to have let go of a big mouse wearing clothes just now, right?" At this time, Jiviera suddenly asked curiously: "Did you raise it? Why haven't I seen it before?
But? It’s really not that simple. It can actually resist the witchcraft of that person just now, and it can also avoid the long sword that I accidentally swung."
"It's not raised by me. It's a friend I met here, named Duke White Shoes. I originally planned to introduce you to him." Leo didn't think much about Charles Longco and moved the bookshelf next to him.
He reached the window and temporarily blocked the hole, then walked to the window at the other end, opened it, reached out and knocked hard on the window edge, and said: "Duke White Shoes, you can come out now."
Hearing Leo's voice, the Duke of White Boots immediately emerged from the shadow of the eaves and came to the window. However, seeing Jiviera still in the room, he immediately shrank back, and then another little head emerged.
, glanced at Jiviaire furtively, and then gestured to Leo.
Leo explained to the Duke of White Boots and said: "Her name is Jiviera, she is a friend of mine. She will live here for a while. I want to introduce you to her. If you don't want to, I can let you know her."
She leaves now."
"No need! She is your friend, and she is also my friend." The Duke of White Boots hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to believe Leo. He stood up from the outside wall of the window, jumped to the desk near the window, and took off his hat.
He came down, saluted Jivière like a gentleman, and said: "Nice to meet you, beautiful lady, I am the Duke of Moonlight Mouse."
"I am also very happy to meet you, Your Majesty the Duke." Jivière also looked at the Duke of White Boots with a curious look on her face and returned the greeting like a lady.
Although Jiviera has been to many worlds and seen all kinds of magical things, this is the first time she has seen a mouse that can talk, and it seems that this big white mouse wearing clothes has no less than ordinary people's abilities.
intelligence.
After saying hello, Duke White Boots returned to business and said, "Mr. Leo, the person you asked me to monitor has left the town on Seventh Lake."
"Already left Hushang Town?" Leo frowned when he heard this, with a little doubt in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Isn't he here for the abandoned city?"
The Duke of White Boots added: "I couldn't leave Lake Town, so I didn't follow him any further, so I don't know where he went after that. I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter, you've done a good job." Leo signaled the Duke of White Boots not to worry, and then reached out to take out a piece of the remains of the dream spirit from his pocket, but suddenly realized that those remains had been collected into the space in his palm.
It can't be taken out from inside.
"The reward I gave you cannot be taken out. You may need to change your reward." Looking at Duke White Boots with expectation in his eyes, Leo told the truth, and spread his palms to let White Boots
The Duke saw the piece of unknown animal skin in his palm that had a completely different skin color from the surroundings.
However, what surprised Leo was that the Duke of White Boots recognized the origin of Leo's palm, a wizard's rare item, at a glance, and said with slight surprise: "Isn't this the piece of leather from the Nowitzki family?
