Leo, who was standing in the shadows outside the door, watched the Rhodes housekeeper leave. The mental network sensed that the young man was sitting at his desk again, dealing with daily matters.

From the conversation just now, Leo had already heard that the robbery was not committed by these two people. Of course, it is also possible that these two people discovered his whereabouts and acted deliberately.

But no matter what, it doesn't matter to Leo, because he has found what he wants. The three skull bowls have been given to this young man and are now stored in this young man's elegant lady's dressing room.

It doesn't matter who committed the robbery or what the other party's purpose was.

However, even if he knew where the three skull bowls were, Leo couldn't think of a good way to take them out for the time being, because so far there were no rumors of elegant ladies' dressing rooms being stolen.

In folk myths and legends, there is a story about an elegant lady competing with other gods of thieves to steal things.

The story is that Lady Elegant competed with some thief gods to steal things from each other. During the competition, Lady Grace found all the thief gods’ treasure houses and entered them to steal an item. However, several times

They were discovered and failed to steal, but most of them succeeded. Not only did the other thief gods fail to steal Lady Elegant’s items, they couldn’t even find Lady Elegant’s treasure. In the end, Lady Elegant was defeated by all the thief gods.

Worshiped as the chief god of thieves.

Although the authenticity of this mythological story must be discounted, the fact that this mythical story is recorded in the Orthodox Church's classics on stories about gods proves that part of the story may be true. The elegant lady's ability to hide things and steal things are both

The most powerful of all gods.

Just now, when Leo's mental network could not detect the secret room behind the bookcase, he had already felt that those legendary stories about elegant ladies might be true, and this was definitely not good news for him.

In the study room, perhaps because of the news just now, the young man could not calm down to handle official duties, or perhaps because the sound of the banquet outside was too attractive, after the young man signed two documents, he put down the pen in his hand and stood beside

He looked at the lively scene outside by the window, turned around and walked out of the study.

Not long after the young man left the study, Leo entered the study through the open window, walked directly to the bookcase where the secret room was hidden, looked at the movement traces of the underground bookcase, and opened the bookcase along the original traces.

However, the scene behind the bookcase surprised Leo. Behind the bookcase was a very ordinary wall. There was neither a secret door nor a large number of pictures carved on the wall like the Holy Blood Society.

Spirit magic circle.

Leo did not believe in the perception of the mental network, nor did he easily believe in what he saw with his eyes. He reached out and touched the wall, confirming every detail of the wall in front of him through the touch of his body, and shaking the wall from time to time.

, to determine the situation inside the wall.

After some attempts, Leo still couldn't find anything strange on the wall. Then he turned his head and looked at the bookcase wall opposite the wall, but he also didn't find anything unusual.

Although after repeated inspections, Leo still did not find any useful clues here, but he did not think that there was nothing wrong with the wall, because judging from the subtle traces left by the friction of the bookcase on the floor, this bookcase was often opened.

So there must be something wrong with this wall, but he doesn't have the ability to see through it.

Standing in front of this wall, Leo thought for a while, but still couldn't find any useful way to unlock the secrets in this wall. He couldn't help but said to himself: "Do we really want to catch that person and use strong force to solve it?"

To force him to hand over the skull bowl?"

"I don't think it's necessary. The two of us can cooperate." Just as Leo finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Although Leo was surprised and shocked that someone appeared out of thin air behind him, his face remained calm, he turned around and looked at the speaker.

I saw that the person speaking was the young man who had left the study before. He leaned against the fireplace very casually and showed no hostility. Instead, he looked at Leo with interest, his eyes full of curiosity and fighting spirit.

Yes, it is fighting spirit. It seems that this young man now regards Leo as the object of competition and wants to compete with Leo.

"My name is Fernando Deloitte, and I am a descendant of the legendary knight Deloitte." The young man straightened up, walked to Leo, stretched out his hand towards Leo, and said: "I know you, Leo Dodd, a very famous person in the Kingdom of England.

No ordinary ordinary soldier."

"Legendary Knight Deloitte?" Leo was stunned when he heard the name, and the hand he just raised stopped in mid-air. Although it was just a last name, a figure appeared in his mind, and this person was

The knight he saw in the hallucinations of the twins gave them the cross sword mode. After this knight gained a certain status, he gave up his past low-level surname and obtained the name Deloitte from a down-and-out noble.

The noble surname eventually became the name of the legendary knight Deloitte.

"If I read it correctly, the pair of gloves in Mr. Dodd's hands should be the weapons of my ancestors." Fernando didn't care about Leo's somewhat rude behavior, and took the initiative to extend his hand, shook Leo's and stopped.

The hand in mid-air, then smiled and pointed at the pair of twin gloves on Leo's hand.

Leo didn't expect that the Delo family still had descendants. He remembered that the visions he got from the twins seemed to be that the last heir of that family was executed in the end. Now it seems that that person may still have descendants, or he may be the former De Luo family.

The people of the Luo family left descendants, and after the death of the last heir, they inherited the family name.

As for the twins, I am afraid that the clues were obtained from family records, and Leo has used these weapons more than once before. As long as someone familiar with the twins does a little research, it should not be difficult to guess that the twins are in his hands.

Leo quickly figured out the joints, so he didn't show too much surprise. He just stayed silent for a moment and asked, "Do you want to take it back?"

"Of course, it is the responsibility of any member of the Deloitte family to recover the weapons of their ancestors." Fernando did not hide his thoughts, and walked past Leo as if he was unprepared, and sat behind the desk again.

On the chair, he said to Leo with great confidence: "I just felt someone snooping, but I didn't find the whereabouts of the snooper, so I left first and let the person come out on his own. But what I didn't expect was that the snooper would actually come out.

It's you, Mr. Dodd."

"Do you know me?" Although Leo already had a guess in his mind, he still asked as a matter of routine.

"Of course I know you." Fernando opened the drawer under his desk, took out a document and put it on the table, and said: "Although the things you did in Milia City seem to be just insignificant things, those things are related to

The combination of some other unknown plans has become the key to the establishment of the United Kingdom, so the empire will naturally investigate this disruptor who came out of nowhere."

Leo unceremoniously picked up the document on the table and looked through it. He found that this document contained a detailed introduction to his past experiences, and even some things that his predecessor had forgotten were recorded in it, and

What is even more surprising is that what happened in the Black Forest was also recorded.

This record of what happened in the Black Forest is not his shared experience with Dr. Nelson and Jason in the Black Forest, but his experience of entering the Black Forest Wonderland alone. It is obvious that the French Empire can obtain this information.

It also proves in disguise that their relationship with the Black Forest is extraordinary.

"But I'm not interested in you because of the things you did." Fernando said to Leo with a hint of inexplicable emotion: "Sylvia and I are good friends," he seemed to feel that he had not expressed enough.

, and then emphasized: "We are good friends who grew up together. She has lived in my house for a long time, and my parents are her guardians."

When Leo heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although he had never experienced such a thing, he understood what Fernando meant. This made him feel interesting and funny, and he also had a little expectation. After all, whether as a

Cyborg, or his predecessor, had never experienced this kind of jealousy in his life of more than 20 years, and this novelty actually made him interested.

So, he deliberately said in a provocative manner: "We understand, but you should know that the length of time you spend together does not represent the depth of emotion. Some people are strangers after being together for a lifetime. I think you and Xini should belong to this category."

Humanoid.”

"Xini!?" Fernando heard that Leo actually used Sylvia's nickname, which made him, who always wore an aristocratic smile, couldn't help but show an annoyed look, but he restrained his emotions well and let

He returned to his planned rhythm and said, "If my guess is correct, you should be here for the three skull bowls, right?"

"Yes." Leo nodded casually.

Fernando suggested: "Let's make a bet and use this skull bowl."

Leo smiled and reminded: "Have you forgotten? These three skull bowls do not belong to you, they belong to the Holy Blood Society. If the Holy Blood Society knows that you have obtained the skull bowls..."

"Who knows!" Fernando smiled and shrugged, and said: "Who knows that the skull bowl is in my hand? I think no one can find the place where I store the skull bowl, not even the gods."

Leo didn't refute, he was silent for a moment and asked: "What do you want to bet on?"

When Fernando saw that Leo was already moved, he smiled and said, "Let's see who can find the person who robbed the Holy Blood Society first."

"What do I need to pay?" Leo asked about the bet, and then said with a smile: "You wouldn't say that whoever loses will never see Sydney again, are you so childish?"

"Of course not, you can't win a woman's heart in this way." Fernando shook his head, then pointed at Leo's twin gloves and said, "That's the bet!"

"So your target is it." Leo smiled, then shook his head and said: "If it is it, your bet is too small, you have to raise your bet, and the skull bowl is not yours, you

Use it as a bet, even if I win, I'm afraid..."

Fernando didn't wait for Leo to finish, and interrupted: "If you win, I will not only give you three skull bowls, but also let you randomly choose three things from my collection."

"This bet is very interesting, but the problem is..." Leo looked doubtful and said: "I know nothing about your collection, how can I know the value of your collection? If I win, you

If my collection is just some useless junk, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage?"

"You..." Obviously Fernando has never dealt with people like Leo. The people who can get along with him in the French Empire are all imperial dignitaries. Naturally, they know very well how reliable Fernando's credibility is, and they don't know how reliable Fernando's credibility is.

I would say something like this, so I didn’t know how to refute it for a while.

"Since you want to bet on something, you should at least put each other's bet on the table, so that both parties can see it and understand the value of the bet." Leo said with a lesson tone: "Now I have put the bet on the table.

My bet is placed in front of you, and you understand its value, so shouldn't you show me your bet and introduce the value of the bet to me?"

After listening to what Leo said, Fernando calmed down, looked at Leo thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "It seems that you haven't given up yet, and you are still paying attention to the ladies' dressing room." As he said that, he

He stood up, walked to the wall behind the bookcase, turned his head, and said to Leo with a hint of provocation: "Even if I enter the lady's dressing room in front of you, you won't know how to enter."

As he said that, he saw that Fernando ignored the wall and walked directly over. The moment he was about to hit the wall, his whole figure seemed to be submerged in water, blending into the wall and disappearing.

Leo watched the scene happening in front of him and said nothing, just quietly waiting for Fernando to come out again.

Not long after, Fernando was seen walking out of the wall just like before, but this time there were two exquisite stone boxes in his hands.

Fernando put the box in his hand on the desk and said: "Originally I prepared those three items as bets, but I think there are three skull bowls in the bet. If I take out three more items, I will lose the first bet, so these two items

The stakes should be enough, you should have no objection, right?"

Leo was not affected by what just happened at all, and said calmly: "As long as the value of the thing is enough, I don't mind."

"I believe the value of these two items is enough." Fernando smiled extremely confidently, then opened the stone box directly and showed the items inside to Leo.
