"How did he get this purple crown flower?" Anne couldn't help but ask as her mood recovered.

Before anyone else could speak, Jason said first: "We picked this and it has nothing to do with that old man. We just made a deal with him and agreed to send this thing over."

"Deal?" Annie was stunned, then asked: "Can you let me know what's going on?"

"This letter is written to you by Teacher Pierre." Nelson stood up at this time, handed the well-preserved letter to Anne, and said: "The purpose of our coming here should be written on the letter."

Anne took the letter, opened it and read it, the expression on her face changed from relaxed to serious. After reading, she closed the letter and looked at Leo and others with a strange look, as if they were seeing something incredible.

Just like people.

"This is not a place to talk. Let's go upstairs." Annie didn't say anything more, and told her granddaughter not to disturb them, and then led Leo and others directly up the stairs behind the counter.

Inside the personal laboratory on the rooftop loft.

After closing the door, Anne motioned for everyone to sit wherever they pleased, then she sat on a chair, took out the letter and looked at it carefully, then sighed and said: "This old man has not seen me for so long, and now he is here

I have such a big problem."

"If we really have difficulties, we won't bother you, Ms. Anne." Leo said with a smile: "Of course, the purple crown still belongs to you. After all, this is a deal negotiated with old man Pierre, and there is something in the deal.

I didn’t mention that I needed your help, so it’s not a violation of the deal.”

When Anne heard this, she looked at Leo with some surprise. Before, she only regarded the tall and muscular Leo and the strong Jason as Nelson's bodyguards or followers. She thought that the person who led the charge against Duke Devin was Nelson.

A young tutor at the medical school, it was only now that Leo spoke that she realized that her judgment was wrong.

With a hint of curiosity, Annie looked at Leo, and gradually felt the weird temperament in Leo that was different from other people.

At first glance, Leo is very inconspicuous. When standing next to others, people will always ignore him subconsciously. But when you notice him, you will feel a very unique temperament about him, especially that

This kind of look at people is as if an outsider is overlooking everything in the world. It is full of observation and analysis, giving people a feeling of being seen through all the secrets.

Seeing that Annie didn't reply for a long time, Leo and the others took a look and decided to get up and prepare to say goodbye and leave.

"Wait! I didn't say I wouldn't help." Anne knew that her behavior almost misunderstood the other party, so she hurriedly stopped everyone who was about to get up, and said: "Although offending Duke Devin is a very troublesome thing, but

This is Miria City, not Donglin City, nor his Devin Territory, so I don’t have to worry about what he will do to me. The question now is what is the chance of success in this matter?"

"Whether we succeed or not is not important to us. We just want to make Duke Devin's crimes public and let the world know his despicable behavior." Leo casually said a cliché often used by politicians, which made Anne roll her eyes.

.

However, Anne did not continue to ask Leo and the others about their intentions. Although she valued Catherine as a junior, she had no intention of being a nanny for these people she had just met, so she just planned to be a matchmaker to help Leo and the others.

Find someone who can really help them, and she doesn't care at all whether it succeeds or not.

Annie thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "You must have had some thoughts on this matter on the road, right? Let's talk about it."

"We do have some ideas." Leo mentioned their previous discussion of pushing Nelson out so that he could quickly increase his reputation in a short period of time and thereby increase his voice.

Anne thought for a moment, nodded, and said: "This is a good method. As long as Nelson's words are given more weight, the influence will become greater, and the Continental Congress and the Medical College will naturally pay attention to it."

Leo then added some more ways to increase Nelson's reputation, making Annie nod her head.

"In addition to the medical technical papers you mentioned, we need to add this thing." Anne put the purple crown flower that was given to her before on the table and said: "The discoverer and excavator of the purple crown flower has

With this addition, Nielsen, your reputation will reach a sufficient level. In addition, you must remember that those trauma medical technologies were thought of by you on the battlefield, and you disclosed these technologies to reduce casualties in the war."

After saying that, she thought again and said: "You should write those medical technology papers immediately. It is best to go to the headquarters to handle the matter today, and then the headquarters will come forward to submit Duke Devin's letter to the Continental Congress.

The indictment for massacre of college intern doctors with amine gas. You should also contact the Embassy of the Kingdom of England and submit the indictment to the Continental Congress together, so that it can cause a big enough sensation."

"How do I contact the embassy?" Leo asked: "We can't just run over and tell the people at the embassy that we have direct experience of the battle in the Buletyi area, right?"

"Of course not, you need to find a reputable person to take you there." Annie quickly filtered some names in her mind, and finally stopped at a name, with a smile on her face and said: "I know someone who can

He is also willing to help you."

With that said, Anne, who worked vigorously and resolutely, immediately asked Catherine and Nelson to finish the thesis in the hospital, and asked Jason to stay here. She left the hospital with Leo, stopped an open carriage directly on the street, and said to the driver

For an address, just drive north in the direction of Xiaxiangyue Lake.

In the car, Leo was not a talkative person, and Annie was not used to talking to strangers, so she could only sit quietly, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

However, this quiet and awkward atmosphere did not last long. When the carriage walked out of the north side street of the Red House District and began to enter a relatively narrow street full of pubs, Leo found that there were at least

Seven people were following behind.

These seven people were all on horseback, two of them started following Annie after they came out of the hospital, and the remaining five joined in the middle. They thought they were smart and kept changing people to follow, but they never changed the person they were following.

Wearing eye-catching and formal clothing makes it difficult for people not to notice.

"It seems that someone is looking for trouble!" Just when Leo was about to remind Anne beside him, Anne took out a makeup box, pretended to put on makeup, borrowed a mirror to observe the situation behind the carriage, and said: "There are seven people on them.

They all have rapiers and hand crossbows, so they should be killers." As she said that, she looked at Leo with a strange face and asked, "Could it be that when you arrived at a place, you announced to people that you were going to accuse Duke Devin?

Otherwise, why would these people come to your door so quickly?"

Faced with Anne's question, Leo could only smile bitterly and was unable to answer. It was clear that these people were not here because he wanted to accuse Duke Devin, but because they were here for Baron Maupassant.

Although these Duke de Wen's killers on the train did not express any suspicion of Leo, who had once stayed in the same room as Baron de Maupassant, they had no intention of letting him go.

These people probably couldn't find the whereabouts of Baron Maupassant. They turned around and tried to find some useful clues from him, Baron Maupassant's last contact. Moreover, it seemed that they had no intention of tracking him for a long time and would use more direct methods.

means to resolve this matter.

After using the mental net to mark these killers who were accidentally attacking, Leo began to think about how to deal with these people without alerting the local police.

Just as Leo was thinking about countermeasures, Anne suddenly told the carriage driver another address and asked him to speed up.

The coachman, who was familiar with the terrain, passed directly through an alley of this street. There were originally a lot of people in the alley, but he was squeezed in by a carriage and had to carefully avoid it. Suddenly, there were loud sounds in the alley.

A lot of curses were heard.

Soon the carriage passed through this narrow alley, and the pursuer on horseback seemed to have been stopped. He followed the carriage and drove quickly along the street, then crossed a small bridge over a city aqueduct, and turned through a forest.

Avenue, finally stopped outside an alley that should be where civilians live.

Annie got off the carriage and led Leo into the alley. After turning a few corners, he came to a tavern and opened the door.

I saw that the people in the tavern seemed to know Anne, and when they saw her coming in, they all raised their glasses to her.

After Leo entered the door, he habitually observed the situation inside. He found that the people in this tavern, whether they were the boss, waiters, or guests, were all disabled without exception. Some were missing hands, and some were missing hands.

Some are missing legs, some are missing an eye, and some even have one side of their skull missing.

Leo wouldn't be too surprised if they were just disabled people. What really surprised him was that all the organs that these people had lost were replaced with various mechanical parts, which made him feel like he was not going back to his old self.

We’ve arrived at the tavern dedicated to the Earth Federation’s mechanical cyborgs.

Just now, Leo passed by a man who was missing two legs. This man was oiling the gears of his two mechanical legs. The power used by these two mechanical legs was a small steam engine similar to that used in a steam repeating crossbow.

, although you need to wear insulating clothing when using it, it is better than sitting in a wheelchair.

Now, under the guidance of Annie, Leo was sitting in front of the bar of the tavern. Next to him was a fit woman with a pretty good appearance and a proud figure. She could have become the object of everyone's attention, but she

However, one side of her skull was missing, making her look very ferocious.

Now, her skull has been replaced with a metal skull, and several transparent rubber tubes are inserted into the metal skull and connected to a sealed box on her back.

In addition, she would fiddle with the adjusting lever on the box from time to time, introducing some liquid from the box into the head along the tube, and she would also appear extremely excited at this moment.

"Lian Na, I told you, don't use those drugs in normal times, otherwise, those drugs will be ineffective in your body. If no replacement drugs are found, when you get sick, prepare to die from pain!"

Seeing the woman frequently turning the adjustment lever, Annie frowned and yelled at the woman.

"I know! I know! I just felt a little tired just now, just to refresh myself." The woman shook her hand disapprovingly.

Seeing this, Anne didn't say anything more and said to the bartender: "Two glasses of Fire Lips."

After hearing this, the bartender nodded and started mixing drinks behind the bar.

At this time, the door of the tavern was opened again, and the people who had lost the target before walked in. They saw Leo and Annie sitting at the bar, their faces looked a little annoyed, but they did not take action immediately, but looked for someone.

We sat down at a table and ordered a few beers as the waiter passed by.

After a while, the bartender placed the prepared fire lips on the table, and the bartender on the other side also placed the beer on the tables of those people.

"Try it! The wine here is pretty good." Annie gestured to Leo.

Leo picked up the wine glass and swallowed the fiery red wine in the glass. The less spicy wine flowed into his body, making him feel his stomach burning, and his lips were slightly numb. Perhaps this was the reason why the wine was called Flaming Lips.

However, the moment Leo put down the cup, the people sitting around the killers suddenly raised their hands and pointed their repeating crossbows at the killers, and pulled the trigger without hesitation. The killers still didn't understand what was going on.

One thing, the cup shot into a honeycomb, and then there were several screams outside the tavern, and then several people walked in carrying four corpses, lying casually on the ground.

"Thanks!" Annie thanked the bartender, then stood up and led Leo out of the bar. She randomly picked two of the killer's horses, rode on each of them, and continued to where she wanted to go before.

march.

Leo neither said nor asked about what happened in the bar just now, but concentrated on dealing with the horses below. Because it was his first time riding a horse, he could only imitate Annie's riding movements, but even if his movements were perfect,

No matter how you regulate it, the horse under your crotch doesn't give you any face at all.

"You'd better give me the reins! If you ride like this, we won't be able to get anywhere at night." Anne couldn't help but smile and shook her head when she saw Leo hurriedly controlling the horse, and then controlled the horse to turn around.

When he arrived at Leo's side, he took the reins from his hand, tied it to his saddle, and led the horse under Leo's crotch, trotting forward quickly.

Although Leo's way of riding a horse made other people look extremely weird. Almost everyone who saw it looked at this scene with a look of surprise, followed by a burst of laughter, but in order to rush on his way, Leo did not

There was nothing to say except that he felt that Anne liked to see him being laughed at and deliberately found places with many people.

"Can't we find a place with fewer people?" Leo said to Anne who was leading the way.

"I'm taking a shortcut to get to the place faster." Anne looked back at Leo. Although it was a serious explanation, it might have been more convincing if there was less smile in her eyes.

Leo didn't say anything else and could only let it go.
