The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Hearing Devina's explanation, Countess West Green Emerald's worries not only did not calm down, but intensified a lot, because she had seen similar things in those cultists more than once in the past, and she was convinced of her own hallucinations. Be real, and do what the hallucination tells you to do, etc.

"Immediately investigate, who has the lady contacted in recent years?" The Countess immediately instructed her accompanying clerk not far away.

The clerks didn't understand the reason for the countess's orders, but they didn't say much, and they left to do business after responding.

Although Devina, who was sitting on the soft collapse, had not dealt with her mother, she was very clever, and quickly guessed the other party's thoughts from the order given by the countess.

In this regard, she also felt a little dumbfounded. She never thought that she would still be misunderstood by her mother when she told the truth, but she didn't know how to prove her words, because in her memory, her friends were only able to be made by herself. I feel that it is impossible for other people to feel the traces of their friends even if they are around, just like now there are his own friends and another new friend in Zingzi, but his mother and those outside the pavilion are not. know they are here.

"You all step back! My mother and I have something private to say." Although she knew that it was useless to explain without evidence, Devina still wanted to explain it to the Countess, after all This matter is related to whether her body can get treatment.

The countess could guess that her daughter must be trying to convince herself of her hallucinations, but she was sure that she could not change her mind, but she couldn't bear to not give her daughter a chance, so she waved at the people outside the pavilion. He waved his hand to let them disband and leave, leaving only the Emerald Knights who were protecting them to take over the protection work of the guards of the surrounding villas.

After the outsiders left, Devina asked the Countess to sit beside her, and then very seriously explained how she came into contact with the tree demon Lutasi, how she became a friend, and how the tree demon Lutasi helped her relieve her physical pain over the years, etc. Wait until things are said carefully.

"The Guard is Here"

At first, the Countess didn't agree with what Devina said. In her opinion, everything Devina said was just her own hallucination. Even if this hallucination had nothing to do with the cultists, it was probably because of physical pain. What happened to the mental problem? As a countess who once obtained a scholar degree in the academic city, the cases of hallucinations caused by such mental problems have been recorded in the academic city in similar research disciplines, and there are a lot of them, even if she is not. People who specialize in this kind of subject have heard similar things more or less, so when she just heard Devina's self-narration, she subconsciously linked Devina with the patients in those cases.

But at this moment, the countess's heart felt as if she was being grabbed by someone, and she was extremely reproachful that she had only cared about controlling the power of West Green Emerald all these years, while ignoring her daughter's health, and secretly swore in her heart. , after that, you must take your daughter with you, and don't let her continue to stay alone in this forest villa.

However, all these sentimental emotions gradually weakened and even changed as the content of Devina’s narrative continued to increase, and the Countess’s inner thoughts also changed. She initially identified that Devina was hallucinating. , I have gradually believed that what Devina said may be true, and the friend Devina said is not an illusion, but a real existence.

The reason why the Countess's thoughts have changed in this way is entirely because Devina's past experience is too detailed, and all kinds of details can be told like a treasure, and even the Countess deliberately interrupted a few times to express her previous experience. Devina was still able to retell something if she didn't hear it clearly, which was obviously completely different from the hallucinations the Countess knew of the cultists who had been subjected to images of evil forces, or the hallucinations of the sick.

Because both cult hallucinations and patient hallucinations have one thing in common, that is, the hallucinations in their minds are disordered, chaotic, impossible to be coherent, and impossible to repeat like Devina. Repeat it again, and each time can explain it in great detail. If you don't experience it yourself, your memory will never be able to do it in such detail.

"You listen first," the Countess, after gradually changing her mind, suddenly interrupted Devina's narration, and then asked her daughter very seriously: "The friend you said really exists?"

"Yes, mother! It's real, not an illusion." Feeling that her mother's thoughts seemed to change, Devina was also happy, she nodded vigorously and replied.

"Are they here now?" asked the countess again.

"It's here, it's always been here." Devina responded immediately, then pointed to the location of the tree demon Lutasi, and said, "The little tree is there." Then she pointed to Leo and said : "And the new friend who followed Xiaoshu is here." She said, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Leo: "By the way, I don't know what your name is."

"Leo Dodd." Leo, who has always been a quiet bystander with the tree demon Lutasi, opened his mouth to answer Devina's question, but this time he did not directly pass the answer to Germany through the ability of the mental network. In Wen Na's mind, she answered like a normal person.

Leo's answer was not only heard by Devina, but also by the countess in the pavilion. The look on her face became a little flustered, obviously frightened by Leo, and she never thought that it would be empty. There is also an invisible person in the pavilion, what a dangerous thing for their mother and daughter.

However, her inner panic soon calmed down. The reason why she calmed down so quickly was not just because Devina said just now that the person hiding in the pavilion was her friend, but more importantly, she also realized If the invisible people really want to do something to their mother and daughter, they don't need to be exposed at all. If they act in secret, their mother and daughter have no ability to resist.

On the other hand, Devina was also frightened by Leo, because Leo's words were directly passed to her through some kind of ability before, although this method was different from the way the tree demon Lutasi communicated with her. But this is still within the scope of her common sense, that is, the tree demons Lutaxi and Leo are special existences in this world, and they cannot be seen by others, nor can they speak in a normal way, etc.

But now Leo suddenly spoke, and the language she spoke was a language she could understand, not a conceptual idea. She even felt the mood swings of her mother beside her, which represented her mother. It was also possible to hear Leo speak, which was completely different from the previous contact with the tree demon Lutaxi, which made her not know what to do for a while.

The emotional changes of the mother and daughter in front of him were completely seen by Leo, and he could also guess what the two were thinking now, so he took the initiative to explain: "You don't need to think too much, my situation is different from that of the tree demon, I am A human being in this world, she is a special existence between reality and shadow, in this world, apart from me, perhaps only Miss Devina can sense her existence."

"Are you a human in this world? Mr. Leo." After hearing Leo's words, Devina calmed down a little, but she couldn't help but wonder in her heart and asked, "Then why can I watch it? to you, but my mother can't?"

"It's very simple." Leo continued to explain: "Because I use a method to make myself invisible, you can think of this as a state similar to that of a tree demon, so ordinary people can't see me, as for you Why you can see it is actually very simple, because I imitated your own power, what you see is only your own strength, if I no longer imitate it, then you will not see it."

As he spoke, Leo dispelled the power of the witch imitating Devina, and in Devina's eyes, Leo's light human form quickly disappeared.

At this time, what Devina thought of was not how Leo did this, but the thing Leo said before that could heal him. In her opinion, since Leo can imitate the inside of his body The strength of her, then she must have a very good understanding of her physical condition, so the treatment of her is not a matter of words.

Just when Devina wanted to ask Leo about treating her, the countess on the side suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked where Leo's voice came from, "Excuse me, who are you? Mr. Leo Dodd?"

Although this question is endless, Leo still understands the meaning of the countess, because when he saw the relevant materials of the west green emerald countess, he found that the countess had studied in the academic city for a period of time, and also received He has a scholar degree, so the countess has only one direction of inquiry.

"Yes." Leo admitted truthfully.

Immediately after the countess got the answer, a very obvious look of reverence appeared on her face.

Having studied in the academic city, she is very aware of how knowledgeable and capable the scholars in the academic city are, so she has always been consciously recruiting scholars or students from the academic city. Similar academies are also designed to accommodate these talents, so she has always paid special attention to some trends in the academic city. For this reason, she specially established a special department in the book town under the academic city. news about the city.

Leo is known as the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge, and is recognized as the wisest person in the academic city. The news related to it is naturally the top priority, but in the view of the Countess, a wise man like Leo is the most important person. It is absolutely impossible to appear in the chaotic place of the Middle Kingdom, so she just read the news once, remembered Leo, and didn't think about anything else after that.

However, now the wise man who can be called the legendary appeared in her daughter's villa, and it seemed that she became friends with her daughter, which made her feel for a while whether she was dreaming, which also led her to Even though he felt that Leo couldn't lie to her, he still felt a little uncertain.

I don't know if Leo was trying to reassure the other party, or if he had already planned to show his figure, but he gradually withdrew from his invisibility and appeared in the pavilion in front of the countess.

The emerald knight in charge of security outside the pavilion always pays attention to the situation in and around the pavilion. The moment Leo appeared in the pavilion, they also discovered it for the first time, although they did not understand how Leo appeared there, But the instinct of duty made them run towards the pavilion at the same time, intending to protect the countess and the lady in the pavilion.

Looking at the emerald knight rushing over from the surrounding area, Leo did not stop him, but looked at the countess calmly, to see how she would choose, whether to believe her own words, maintain proper etiquette, or take him down first Say it again.

At this moment, the countess suddenly raised her hand and made a gesture. When the emerald knight who was rushing to protect saw the gesture, she stopped involuntarily, then hesitated a little, then turned around and returned to the place she was in charge of guarding before. .

Seeing the countess' actions and the reactions of the emerald knights, Leo couldn't help but re-examine the countess in front of him.

Although, this countess is not extraordinary, UU reading www. uukanshu.com may not be as powerful as Sylvia, but judging from her ability to control those accompanying emerald knights, it is clear that her control over subordinates is definitely not weaker than Sylvia, and then think of the other party's information. As for the control over the political power, military power, and financial power in the West Green Emerald region, Leo also had to admit that the countess's political skills and abilities were definitely the best in the world.

It's a pity that the countess is obviously confined to the small area of ​​the West Green Emerald area because of her status. Otherwise, she should be able to make a turbulent act in any big country with her ability.

Just as Leo looked at the countess, the countess was also looking at Leo who suddenly appeared in the pavilion.

Although she was reluctant to admit it in her heart, she knew very well that when she saw Leo for the first time, she was indeed a little disappointed, because Leo's image was very different from the wise man in her heart. The image of the old man whose wisdom is written in the wrinkles is actually a middle-aged man who looks very ordinary. She can be sure that if she does not see each other here, but in other places, such as a certain street, she will definitely not. Will look at each other more, because the appearance of the other party is so ordinary, so ordinary that people can't help but take the initiative to ignore him.

However, after she adjusted her mentality and re-examined the Leo in front of her, she gradually felt some inexplicable and inexplicable strange temperaments in Leo. For example, the other party was clearly in front of her, but she always had a kind of I feel that the other person and myself are not in the same world at all.

The other is the look in the eyes of the other party when they look at her, that look is not sharp, but very peaceful, but she feels that this peaceful look seems to see through her whole person completely, and all her secrets are revealed in the eyes of the other party.
