No matter how perfect the plan is, there may be huge deviations when it is executed. Leo and Sylvia could not wait for the list of Shaobert, but first waited for the news of Shaobert's death.
Almost on the third day of meeting with Shaobert, the patriarch of the Rufu family, Bain Rufu, secretly came to the manor at night to meet Leo and the Sylvias. One told them that Shaobert’s The news of the death, the other is that the cooperation matters they talked about with Shobert will still be carried out by the Ruf family, and Bain also brought a list, according to him, this list was handed over by Shobert before his death. For him.
Although Bain didn't say it explicitly, but from his tone of voice, it is not difficult to tell that he thinks Shaobert's death has something to do with this list.
"How did Mr. Shaobert die?" Leo took the list from Bain, and did not read the contents above, but asked about the cause of Shabert's death.
"I don't know." Bain shook his head and said, "No problem can be found, it's like natural death, but I'm sure he won't die like this, our death is not like this."
Leo hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can I see Mr. Shawbert's body?"
Bain shook his head again, and said, "Before I came, his body had been sent to the mountain according to our family's rules."
Leo was taken aback when he heard Bain's words, then glanced at Sylvia next to him, and then asked, "Is there anyone to suspect?"
Bain didn't say anything, just looked at the list on Leo's table.
Leo nodded slightly and continued to ask: "My agreement with Mr. Shaobert, do you understand Mr. Bain?"
Bain nodded and said, "I understand, he told me the agreement reached with your Excellency when he went back that day."
"Our agreement continues, and the forest farm is still handed over to your Rufu family." Leo said, pretending to hesitate: "As for the other part of the agreement..."
"Still continue." Bain said quickly.
Leo said in a deep voice: "In this case, we can help you block the pressure from the Haute Federation in accordance with the agreement. As for Pachi, you will deal with it yourself. As for the price, you will follow the content of the agreement."
"The price?" Bain was taken aback, and asked, "What is the price in the agreement?"
"Didn't Mr. Shabot tell you?" Leo frowned and said.
Bain quickly replied: "He has passed away before telling me this. What is the price in the agreement?"
Leo pointed to the list on the side and said: "Mr. Shaw does not fully trust our ability, so he took out this list. When will we eliminate the people on this list through official forces? , Our cooperation agreement has also been officially reached. At that time, I will use my official power to suppress Pachi’s manpower in the Federation, and you can solve Pachi before Crowley’s house comes out of the mountain. As for our assistance The reward is very simple." As he said, he took a leaf from his arms and said: "He will take us into the mountain to find the source of this leaf."
"Leaves of the holy tree?" Baine couldn't help but muttered after seeing the leaves.
Leo nodded and said, "It seems that you know this leaf, and you should also know where the source of this leaf is. You are also eligible to continue to implement our cooperation agreement."
Bain suddenly shook his head again and again, saying: "Impossible, he can't take you to the holy tree."
"No, he will. When he faces greater interests and greater pressure, he will do things that he didn't want to do before." Leo looked at Bain calmly and said: "It seems that you should not be prepared. Complete the agreement made by Mr. Shaobert. If this is the case, then treat it as if the agreement does not exist! I will leave it to your family to take care of the forest farm affairs. As for other things, your Excellency has never heard of it."
Bain quickly said: "Wait, wait! I didn't say that I didn't agree to complete the agreement, but the content of the agreement was a little unexpected."
"No, you don't need to rush to answer," Leo raised his hand to indicate that the other party should not worry, and continued: "Obviously, you do not fully understand the agreement between me and Mr. Shaobert, and some of the content is beyond your expectations. You Any promises made in the current state are unreliable, so you'd better go back and think calmly about whether you should agree to this agreement. At this time, I can also use my influence to solve the list. People, let you see that I really have the ability to help you. Then, you will decide whether to continue to implement the agreement. What do you think?"
After hearing Leo's words, Bain relaxed a little, but he did not stay any longer, saying that he would seriously consider it when he went back, and got up and left.
After Bain left, Leo turned to look at Sylvia and asked, "What do you think?"
Sylvia replied: "It should be him. There is the blood mark that I left on Shaobert on him."
Leo said thoughtfully: "I didn't expect this seemingly loyal and honest man to have such a cruel hand and directly kill Shaobert. By the way, Shaobert is still his uncle, right?"
Sylvia smiled and said, "Schobert is dead, and it benefits him too much. At least he can truly take charge of the Rufu family. I was surprised that he could endure for so many years. According to the information, he It seems that I have been sitting in the position of the head of the Rufu family for almost 20 years."
At the beginning, neither Leo nor Sylvia had any doubts about Bain, because Bain had portrayed his image of a brash man so well for so many years. Leo and Sylvia, who had only seen the information of Ruf’s family, were subconscious. Think that Bain is the kind of plan executor who charges on the front line.
But when Bain refused Leo to view Shabert’s body, and used the words of sending the body to the mountain to prevaricate Leo, Leo and Sylvia immediately aroused suspicion, because they all knew the Lumberjack family. There is indeed the practice of sending the remains of family members into the mountains, but no matter which family of lumberjacks will send people into the mountains only on the fifth day after the death of the deceased, it has never been possible to send Shaobert's body directly into the mountains like now. There have been things.
Therefore, after the two exchanged their opinions with their eyes, Sylvia used her secret method to check the blood mark that she had left on Shaobert that day, and finally found that the blood mark had been transferred to Bain, and the transfer characteristics of the blood mark And the conditions also showed that Bain was the one who killed Shaobert with his own hands.
Leo didn’t care about whether Bain killed Shabert. He only cared about whether Bain could be used by him. Now it’s a good thing to see Shabert’s death. At least Bain didn’t know Shabert. What exactly are the contents of the cooperation agreement? This gives him room for manipulation, such as the test just now.
This temptation learned at least two things. One thing is that the woodcutter family knows where the tree in the depths of the Trub Mountain is related to the Black Forest. The second thing is that the tree is in the minds of the woodcutter family. The status is very high, and according to what they call the tree and the Karita Demon, it is likely that the tree has a certain relationship with the Karita Demon.
Leo told Sylvia what he had just guessed, and Sylvia seriously pondered for a moment, and said, "I think I know what's going on?"
Sylvia's inexplicable sentence made Leo feel a little puzzled, but he did not ask, but waited for Sylvia to say the answer by himself.
"Can't you cooperate with me?" Sylvia said with dissatisfaction when he saw Leo's behavior.
"Uh!" Leo was taken aback for a moment, smiled, showing a curious expression in cooperation, and said, "What did you think of?"
"Not sincere." Sylvia tapped Leo's forehead with her finger, then returned to the subject, saying: "I suspect that a Karita has come to this world and is fused with this world."
Hearing this, Leo frowned. According to his knowledge of the abyss, the Karita Demon is very cautious and never leaves the abyss, even if his contract has successfully evolved into a in another world, and Dragging that world a little bit into the abyss, he would never enter the world that should be considered extremely safe for him, so Leo felt that Sylvia's speculation was a bit untrue.
Sylvia also seemed to know that her speculation was against common sense, but she didn’t care and continued:
Under normal circumstances, it’s really impossible for Karitas to leave the abyss. Even if they are in danger of death, they will choose Die in the abyss, because in this way they may use the power of the abyss to resurrect, or use the back hand they left behind to resurrect. But there is a situation that may cause Karita to leave the abyss and venture into other worlds."
"Are you talking about contract backlash?" Leo soon realized what Sylvia was about to say, but he was a little confused: "But the contract backlash of Karita Demon is just a legend. It has never happened."
Sylvia reminded: "You should think about it the other way around. If it hasn't happened, then how did this legend come about?"
Leo asked puzzledly: "Even if it is a contract backlash, the Karita Demon only needs to try to cancel the contract after coming into this world, but now that he has made so many contracts, doesn't he want to go back to the abyss?"
Sylvia shrugged and said: "I don't know this, but I can be sure that if there is a Karita demon coming to this world, judging from the current situation of this world, his situation is definitely It’s terrible.
She paused and said,
If we can find Him, maybe we can...
Leo nodded slightly. He knew exactly what Sylvia meant. If it was just a pure Karita demon, it would not be worth the two of them to fight so hard, but if one has begun to merge with the world and has already The words of Karita Demon who can use part of the power of this world law, then his value is different.
Especially the state of this Karita Demon is still very bad, there is not enough resistance, this is simply a good thing in the sky.
Leo said in a deep voice: "This matter can't come in a hurry. We need the lumberjack family to lead us into the mountains without getting lost, and we also need willing guidance."
In fact, in the past two days, Leo and Sylvia have both tried to go deep into the Trub Mountain, and even secretly followed a group of lumberjack family members who entered the mountain, but they encountered some inexplicable encounters even they couldn’t. The resisting force lost his way in the mountains, and then walked out inexplicably.
Leo tried to fly through the air with psionic wings, but as a result, Trub Mountain's forbidden air force was stronger than outside, and his psionic wings could not even allow him to glide in the air.
They also tried to walk directly from the top of the tree, but the situation of getting lost still occurs. According to the data record on the universal recorder, they will always rotate in place, and finally turn to leave in the direction outside the mountain.
This made them realize that the power contained in Mount Trub far exceeds the level of the demigod, and it is likely to be the power of the real gods. It was only after realizing this that they dispelled the direct access to the mountain to find the source of the leaf. idea.
In order to get the bain of the Rufu family as soon as possible, Leo sent the two improved grenades that had been made in the past two days, along with the list, to Cardi through the special channel of the Secret Service to send them to the capital. A note was added to the list, stating that the people on the list may collude with church countries outside to try to prevent the development of new weapons.
If under normal circumstances, the list sent by Leo will certainly not cause any disturbances. After all, he is only a foreigner, and many of the people on the list are gentry from Josh County. How could anyone believe a foreigner? doubt.
But now that there are new weapons, it is different. The grenade made by Leo has become the most important new weapon of the Otter Federation. In this case, anything that affects the development of this weapon is no small matter for them.
Even if they still doubt the authenticity of this list, UU Read www.uukanshu. com, but they will definitely catch these people first with the mentality of believing what they have and not trusting them, and censor them slowly. As long as one of them has a problem, the others will certainly not be free in a short period of time.
At that time, as long as Bain sees this situation, he will definitely think that Leo has a strong influence on the Otter Federation, and then he will seriously consider whether he should continue the so-called cooperation agreement with Leo.
A few days later, Leo and Sylvia were secretly monitoring these woodcutter families. Compared to the calm within other woodcutter families, there were some small fluctuations within the Ruf family due to the death of Shaobert.
When Shaobert was still alive, he held all the powers of the Ruf family. Patriarch Bain was just a decoration, and Bain also played the image of his brash man very well, so that no one in the family feared him. Or in awe of him, so much so that after Shawbert's death, Bain wanted to control the power of the family, and many people jumped out to question Bain's ability.
Fortunately, Bain had already anticipated this. He had secretly controlled many young and Zhuang people, and prepared a batch of weapons. When those who questioned him danced happily, he swept them all and completely solved it. The problem of excessive power.
It's just that, because of this, the overall power of the Rufu family has declined, causing other lumberjack families to have some small ideas.
