Huh? This reaction? There are also actions... Rawls, who had been observing Leonard, blew the hot air in the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Although this was the second meeting between the two, from the previous books
Judging from my impression, this kind of reaction is obviously not the way the other party should behave.
Is Pales guiding him?
Even when faced with a Sequence 1 "Stealer" path angel, Rawls did not panic at all. On the one hand, Palles still mainly focuses on hiding and will not take risks as a last resort. On the other hand, he
Learned more about "The Parasite" from Tamara.
If it is a deep level of parasitism, then there is not much difference between the "parasite" and the host. But now Pales has only initially parasitized Leonard and wants to use the related abilities of "stealing" unless the power mobilized is very small.
, otherwise it is necessary to obtain the cooperation of the host to let it relax and temporarily control its body.
But the former is difficult to have an effect on Rawls. He has purposefully confused his thinking in advance, and what was stolen is only some useless things; while the latter cannot succeed at all without the cooperation of the host. Palles still has
Will arouse Leonard's suspicion.
Of course, considering the characteristics of "stealers" who are extraordinary people, this information may not be all true.
However, Rawls also believes that based on his own identity, as well as Leonard and Palles' own considerations, the possibility of stealing his thoughts and ideas is almost zero. As for abilities such as "decryption", then
There is no other way.
"Your idea is indeed feasible? But you are not afraid of me putting pressure on the church. You should know that in my capacity, as long as I talk about this matter to His Excellency St. Anthony, the pressure will only come to you? As for my friend
, I can definitely ask His Excellency the Archbishop to dispatch a team of 'Nighthawks' to protect them. Even if you don't have enough manpower, MI9 has enough manpower.
And if it’s like what you said, the things behind that detective are very dangerous, but I should have heard about it, but I didn’t hear the relevant information, so I guess the threat will not be particularly great... But in this case, then
Your reasons don’t seem to be very good, it’s more like ‘intimidating’ me…”
Facing Leonard, who has an external brain, the best way is to keep asking questions so that he and Palles cannot form effective communication and don't know which question to answer.
After Rawls stopped to drink tea, Leonard, who had been listening silently, suddenly had a bright face, smoothed his hair and said:
"Dear Viscount Derrian, I am deeply sorry for my previous questions, but when you say so much to me, aren't you still worried that the things caused by Sherlock Moriarty will bring danger to your friends?"
No, I know who Shylock is better than you, and I also know where he is now... bringing danger to my friends, well, it is possible except Talim, but the royal family will not pursue him anymore, who will look for him?
?As for why I say so much, of course I am just teasing you... Rawls rubbed the warm tea cup and frowned slightly. Although he knew that it would not be dangerous, for the identity of Viscount Derian, it was indeed necessary.
Think more about it.
As expected of a "thief", he is much better at grasping the loopholes of a problem than a "lawyer".
But looking at the energetic Leonard, Rawls raised the corners of his mouth, put the tea cup on the coffee table and said:
"Are you responsible for investigating this matter?"
"certainly?"
"Then I will consider my friend's safety and apply to His Excellency St. Anthony to find someone else. I am not at ease with you!"
This sentence instantly hit Leonard's Achilles' heel. This matter itself was something he was investigating privately, even though he could drag Sherlock Moriarty into the Spiritual Cult through Azik Eggers.
But he didn't want to do this before he was sure of Klein's purpose. The "Artificial Death" plan was too dangerous. According to the old man, there was a high possibility that angels would be dispatched.
After a few more seconds of silence, he raised his head and said:
"Of course it is, but regarding Shylock, I have been investigating since December last year. No one in the church knows him better than me!"
His tone was more confident than ever before.
Rawls, who was leaning back and leaning on the back of the sofa, raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed that the plot had gone awry again. Now Leonard seemed to have confirmed that Sherlock was equal to Crane? Otherwise, he would not be so confident...
After sighing, he pretended to be convinced, spread his hands and said:
"If you want me to help you investigate, then you have to give me some clues."
"Isengard Stanton, he helped Sherlock Moriarty sell the shares of Backlund Bicycle Company..." Leonard took out a piece of paper from his pocket and opened it to reveal a portrait of a man, "
There is also this man, Azik Eggers, who was once a history faculty member at Hoyin University.”
"Azik Eggers? I seem to have heard of this man's name? MI9 seems to have a wanted order for him?" Rawls picked up the portrait.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the source-changing app, huanyuanapp, that is used by all chasing bugs.]
"Yes, it happened in December last year. He has a certain relationship with the Spiritual Religion Group."
"Well, the Spiritual Religion? I understand." Rawls rolled up the portrait and looked at Leonard as if he remembered something, "What path are you in, and what is your sequence?"
Although he was a little confused, in order to get help, Leonard still answered:
"'Sleepless One', Sequence 6 'Soul Master'."
"Well, please wait for me."
After Rawls left, Leonard was the only one left in the not-so-wide small living room. He looked at the direction in which the figure disappeared. Invisible fluctuations spread out from him, and Ruo Ruoru seemed to be enveloped within a few meters around him.
Nothing is dark.
"Old man, what is he going to do?"
"You are getting more and more rude! If it weren't for me, hey, you would probably have to thank him for being sold!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "How is this possible? I'm not a fool?"
Leonard curled his lips and admitted that he was not as smart as Rawls, but not to this extent.
"That boy is an Beyonder of the 'Lawyer' path, at least Sequence 6. Do you think this is possible?" There was an obvious smile in the slightly older voice.
"What? How is this possible?"
Leonard jumped up and his voice became louder. If it hadn't been arranged in advance, this voice would have immediately attracted the attention of others.
This is not a fuss for him. He has learned the lessons from the two previous times and obtained the information about Viscount Derian from the church before coming. As an important believer of the goddess of the night on a secular level, the information is still very detailed, but
The above only says that he is an extraordinary person, and does not mention the specific path or level.
But according to some information, it can be inferred that Rawls will stay at low sequence at most, but the old man now says that he is at least sequence 6!
"Nothing is impossible. Although he deliberately restrained himself, the guidance in his words can still have an impact on you. This is different from your previous speculation that he got the magic potion from Philip and became an extraordinary person. He has been in it for at least two and a half years.
He was already a 'lawyer' before, which is consistent with his experience."
Slowly sitting down, Leonard recalled Rawls's experience in his mind, remembering that he had already become famous at the age of twenty and was Backlund's youngest barrister, and then said:
"Then where did his potion come from?"
"It should have something to do with his father. His father also rose very quickly."
"Rolls' father?"
As soon as Leonard recalled the relevant information in his mind, he heard the old man's reminder. The darkness around him disappeared in time and returned to normal. He also saw Rawls appearing at the corner of the corridor holding a box engraved with mysterious patterns.
, entered the small living room.
what is that?
Leonard, who instinctively felt that the things inside had something to do with him, stood up and took two steps to greet him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Rawls wave his hand and handed the box to him, and he took it smoothly.
Rawls sat down, crossed his legs and said:
"There is a sealed object here, corresponding to the 'Spirit Witch' of Sequence 5. It is an unexpected harvest. It has a certain relationship with the Spiritual Religion Group. It may be able to help you."
"So this is for me?"
Leonard froze on the spot, holding the box in one hand and pointing at himself with one hand, leaving behind all his doubts about Rawls.
After hearing his words, Rawls was stunned for a moment and looked around:
"It's daytime now. What sweet dream are you having? Or are you pulling me into a dream?"
It's not for me... Leonard breathed out, not knowing what was going on in his mind right now. It wasn't until he heard, "Boy, this is a 'bribery' from a 'briber'!" that he suddenly became alert.
"what you up to?"
"What do I want to do? What should you do? I can lend you this sealed artifact for a month, and I will also provide you with the corresponding resources and clues, but the results must be investigated within this time limit." Rawls
He patted the soft armrest of the sofa and said, "Of course, this is not all my requirements. This sealed item is rather special and needs your help..."
Next, he briefly talked about the abilities and negative effects of "Soul Singer (Requiem Singer)" and said:
"The negative effects of this sealed object are quite bad. I need you to capture a certain amount of spirit to feed it and reduce its negative effects." (The source is from 166 to 171, the negative effects are at 292)
…
When Leonard walked out of 45 Gatton Street, he still felt that his feet were not solid ground, but soft goose down cushions. Although his experience today was not as thrilling as before, it brought no more doubts than before.
Sometimes, it even feels like a dream, which is unimaginable for a "Requiem Master" promoted from "Incubus Demon".
He looked back at the two-story garden villa, feeling that the person inside seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, elusive, and it was difficult to understand what he was thinking.
Obviously the other party has explained everything and the purpose clearly, but it feels like every sentence is full of other meanings.
"Old man, how's your 'decryption' going?"
Since that reminder, the old man has never spoken again. Leonard felt that this angel might not be able to figure out what Rawls was going to do.
"Well, it was almost done, but when you interrupted me, I couldn't remember anything."
The slightly older voice sounded in Leonard's ears again, but it made him even more crazy.
After making a fuss for a while, the old man’s voice became serious:
"Boy, I can only confirm that that guy doesn't care that much about the safety of his friends. To be precise, he seems to be sure that it will not bring danger. Likewise, he doesn't care about the 'Soul Singer' in your hand either.
Letting you feed the spirit body and reduce the negative effects is more like a random excuse."
"Then what does he want to do?"
"I'm afraid only he himself knows."
…
In the small living room, Rawls stretched and continued to half lie down and half sit and said:
"continue."
"The two people from the 'Temperance Sect' now live in Rose Flower Street in the South District of the Bridge, and they communicate more with a blood baron named Emlyn White, who is a priest of the Harvest Church. He seems to want to use these two people to
Find believers in the 'Original Moon'."
Alicia's figure appeared on the single sofa opposite. She had black hair and gray eyes, and was dressed in a standard dress for an upper-class Backlund lady. If her expression was not so serious, no one would notice anything unusual at the banquet.
It was precisely because of the news she brought that Rawls had a little more thought about handing over the "Soul Singer" to Leonard.
Because of the fateful revelation brought by Will Asceptin, he asked Alicia to secretly follow the two major factions of the "Rose School" to see when the fateful decision would come.
But before this time came, the two major factions of the Rose School first took action. The "Temperance Faction" caught up with the Blood Tribe, and the Blood Tribe's hunting of "Primordial Moon" believers made the "Indulgence Faction" somewhat unbearable.
Actually, he actually started cooperating with some people from the Spiritual Religion Group, and with Backlund's official power, there was only one trigger left.
Originally, Rawls' handing over the "Soul Singer" to Leonard was more of a casual move. After all, this thing is not very useful to him now. Under his stirring, the plot has begun to deviate.
He wanted to better grasp the plot through Leonard, after all, he is a "protagonist of the times."
As for now, there is an additional purpose, which is to hope that Leonard can serve as the fuse and use the opportunity of investigation to detonate Backlund.
It is now the end of May, and the marriage is about to take place. Rawls does not want this matter to be delayed for too long. If the marriage is affected, his plans at sea may also be affected, which is not what he wants.
As for what Lendner and Palles could come up with, that was not his concern.
…
"Today's Backlund Evening News."
Forsi pressed his hat, gave a 1 penny coin, took the newspaper and returned to his residence along the road.
As a writer who rarely goes out to obtain materials, she has been going out on time every day for nearly a week to buy the "Backlund Evening News". This is of course not because she wants to read the evening news, but because it contains the information she needs.
Skillfully flipping to the advertisement area, her blue eyes instantly lit up, and she saw the information she needed.
