When Brown arrived, he accepted the antique shop and asked Leo to evade it. He took a few people to treat those who fainted in the shop, and asked them what happened.
Although he did not have any suspicions, Leo still took the initiative to participate in the investigation of this matter. After all, the three skull bowls have been regarded as his own things by now, but they are now lost. He will naturally not be willing to give up Those three skull bowls.
After waiting for a while outside the antique shop, Brown walked out of the shop and Leo immediately asked, "How is it going?"
"No one was injured except Old Bill." Brown didn't seem to want Leo to intervene, just responded briefly.
"Can I go in and see?" Leo asked.
Brown shook his head and refused: "It's not necessary, let's handle it with the Holy Blood!"
Leo added a tone and said, "The lost things are mine. I think I should intervene."
Brown still refused: "Mr. Leo Dodd, you don't seem to have paid for the three antiques, which means that the thing is not yours."
"Mr. Brown, you don't seem to understand what I mean. I'm not asking you to promise me to investigate this matter. I'm just saying a fact. It doesn't matter if you promise!" Leo frowned slightly, then followed. He was extremely tough and didn't even wait for Brown to speak, so he pushed him away and walked straight into the store.
Leo's rude behavior was seen by several other members of the Holy Blood Society. They seemed to want to teach this stranger, but they were stopped by Brown in time, and Brown was not showing Leo’s rejection of participating in this matter. Instead, he silently followed Leo.
After entering the shop, Leo's eyes quickly swept over the shop waiters and guests in the shop who had not awakened from the lethargy, and then looked around again, by walking into that special room , I looked at the shop owner who hadn't regained his consciousness and was dealing with the injury in the back of the head, and then turned around and walked out of the shop without asking a word.
Watching Leo turn around and leave, Brown, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Dodd, don't you ask?"
"Ask what?" Leo asked rhetorically.
Brown responded: "Ask what happened before?"
"If you can ask useful things from their mouths, you won't have such an expression, so I don't need to waste time." Leo replied coldly, and continued to go out after he finished speaking.
"Where are you going now?" Brown asked, following him.
Leo turned to look at Brown and replied in the other party's previous words: "Will the hotel, isn't this your holy blood meeting? I don't need to blend in."
After he finished speaking, he walked out quickly, walked around to see the lively crowd, and disappeared into the narrow underground passage.
"He must have found something?" Brown frowned and said to himself.
A man with a mask beside him heard Brown's words and asked, "Head, do you want to send someone..."
"Don't!" Brown shook his head. He still doesn't know if Leo really didn't want to intervene in the investigation of this matter, or he deliberately made a suspicious gesture, but he was very clear that Leo could not grasp the handle, if At this time, sending someone to monitor Leo will allow Leo to have enough excuses to intervene in this matter, and even if the crow comes out, it will not be possible to change the fact that Leo is involved.
"What shall we do now?" the other man asked.
"Immediately and secretly investigate the people who recently joined and left the organization. In addition, we must also investigate all the people in the Port of Vinaya that are related to the underground church and the cult." Brown Shensheng commanded, thinking about Su, and said: "There have not been recent A dozen batches of underground church organizations that fled from Minsk? Start investigating from them and remember to investigate in secret. As for the outside world, what happened in the antique shop is investigated as a common robbery. Don't show flaws."
"Got it, head." After listening to the orders, the men spread out and carried out various investigations according to Brown's instructions, and Brown returned to the antique store, waiting for the store owner to wake up from the coma.
As Brown guessed, Leo did find some clues, but just like Brown, he was not prepared to cooperate with the Holy Blood to investigate this matter. He was ready to retrieve his own things, and he could save a purchase. The cost of this thing.
After returning to the ground, Leo did not return to the hotel, but called a carriage to the port area.
While checking the situation of the store just now, he also used the quick memory of his brain to compare it. When he first entered the store, he saw that there was one thing missing, or those guests, without changing the staff. Someone missed something, and the guest didn't seem to know that he was missing something, as if that thing never existed.
The thing was a cat pendant hanging on the guest's backpack. Leo didn't pay attention to these things when he entered the store. His sight was just swept away, and he didn't think there was anything strange about this thing. Looking back now, he felt that he was a bit negligent at the time, or that the psionic wall that had just entered the store interfered with his perception of psionic fluctuations, and he was unable to find that the cat pendant that looked like an ordinary ornament might be a piece Gods and wonders controlled by man.
Faith beliefs related to cats were very popular in the ancient Velon world. According to statistics from religious scholars, there have been more than seventy spirits related to cats in the Velon world since ancient times, and these gods have all disappeared.
In the eyes of ancient humans, mice that ate food and spread diseases were always the most evil species, and cats that were extremely good at catching mice became the most sacred existence in the eyes of ancient humans. They created a variety of cat-related Among the gods, among them the most famous are the of Belus, the cat of Savile in the Minsk mainland desert kingdom, and the cat-headed saint of Mosang.
Just like other gods produced by faith, after all cat gods found other ways to deal with mice, the faith weakened rapidly, collapsed, and eventually disappeared completely.
However, some of these cat-god churches will leave some legacy, and some of them have some psionic wonders infused with divine power.
Phantom avatars are the most favorite gods and gods made by various cat gods. Leo obtained knowledge about this kind of gods and wonders from the knowledge of the web weavers, and it is very detailed. The reason why they are so detailed is because they once had in-depth cooperation with a cat god, so that the cat became a soul guide, and hidden a lot of knowledge about the cat god.
Although most cat gods are good gods, there are also some cat gods who swing between good and evil. Lady Grace is such a cat god. Elegant lady originated from a script written by an ancient dramatist. Because of the graceful posture of cats walking and moving, the dramatist called all the cats in the drama he created as elegant lady, and this name was soon adopted. Accepted by the noble class and other upper societies, it was promoted and eventually became a church.
I don’t know what the reason is. In the later spread of the Elegant Lady Church, the elegant lady who was originally the patron saint of the noble manor suddenly became the patron saint of thieves. A large number of thieves from the bottom joined the Elegant Lady’s church. It makes the influence of Ms. Elegant spread all over the upper levels of nobles and the bottom of civilians. Until the belief of cat gods collapses, the belief of Ms. Elegant always exists in all kinds of cat gods.
Although it is now generally accepted that the cat beliefs have all disappeared, Leo now feels that perhaps the grace of Ms. Grace’s cat gods is over, but the faith of Ms. Grace itself may still exist in this world, just become Very secret underground church.
He has such an idea is not untargeted, because it is different from the single belief of other cat gods. Even if the faith of the elegant lady originates from the cat god, her own faith is not limited to the cat god.
The patron saints of nobles, thieves, prostitutes, gods of caress, inspiration, moonwalkers, etc. are given to the graceful ladies. Although the faith of the cat has collapsed, with the faith of other gods, elegance The lady may not be able to survive like a physical like the real eye.
The reason why Leo is now going to the port area is mainly because he needs to determine whether there is an elegant lady's church in the port of Vinaya, because the dragon and snake mixed port is always the favorite place of the elegant lady's church.
If it exists, then the person who steals the skull bowl must be the upper level of the Elegant Lady Church, because only the upper level of the Elegant Lady Church is eligible to own and use the Elegant Lady’s cat incarnation.
The reason why I chose the port area is that the guest with cat ornaments on his backpack should be a foreign businessman who has just arrived in the port of Venaya in terms of clothing, and this businessman is not prepared to stay here for a long time. Just stop here, do a little resupply, buy something, and leave soon. So the cat pendant was probably hanged on the businessman's backpack while in the port.
In addition, Leo also feels that the perpetrators may have made a temporary intention, because if there is a premeditated crime, he will definitely not choose to commit crimes during this period. As for the reason for the temporary decision to the skull bowl, I am afraid that he will also buy the skull bowl. related.
At the moment of entering the shop, Leo unintentionally showed his strength, making the person who controlled the cat avatar realized that if Leo bought the skull bowl, he would never be able to take it, so he took advantage of The moment Leo left, the skull bowl.
In about ten minutes, Leo Mai stepped down from the carriage and walked from the bone ladder to the port area below. Although the time is almost approaching the evening, the port is still very busy. Many ships are waiting for loading and unloading. There are a large number of ships waiting for the vacant dock to temporarily anchor in the sea.
"Take me to the best brothel here?" Leo looked around, snapping his fingers at a child who was at the dock who was looking not far away, and after he got close, he took out two dimensions Nayaco passed it and asked.
The child saw the money in Leo's hands, his eyes lit up, and quickly picked it up. Without a word, he led Leo toward the edge of the dock warehouse, a city with mostly three-story buildings.
Soon the child took Leo to a three-story attic made of red bricks. At the entrance of the attic, a few strong men with arms around their waists leaned against the wall next to them and looked in from the doorway. It can be seen that some seemingly wealthy businessmen are embracing women with heavy makeup and having fun in the attic. A loud music accompanied by a loud noise came out of the door.
"Little Peter, what's wrong with you?" Obviously, the leading child had something to do with the brothel. When he saw the child running hurriedly, a strong man at the door walked over without saying a word. Shouted the collar at the back of the neck.
"Let me down, you idiot." The kid raised in the air kicked the strong man's thigh a few feet, and then pointed to Leo who was following, "I didn't cause trouble, I brought the guests. Now."
The strong man saw Leo who was coming, and immediately threw the child aside, then saluted Leo, saying, "This lord, should you come to us for the first time? Please allow me to show you the way." "
"No more! I just want to inquire one thing." Leo didn't say much nonsense, raised his hand directly to cast an Axial seal, and then asked: "Where is the altar of the elegant lady?"
"In the small garden of Monaya." The strong man said what Leo wanted to know without resistance.
"Take me to Monaya's little garden." Leo ordered again.
"Okay, UU reading www.uukananshu.com Master!" The brawny man responded in a bewildered voice, and then the whole person was shaking like drunk and led Leo towards the backyard of this apartment loft Go.
After passing a small arch, the two came to the backyard of the apartment. As the strong man said, there was indeed a small garden in front of them. From the neatly trimmed flowers and plants in the garden, the owner here loved the garden very much , Almost every day.
Leo didn't say anything, he immediately lifted the control of the strong man, let him sleep in the corner of the garden, and then walked into the garden, and walked towards a shrine altar with obvious appearance not far away.
There are many goddesses of elegant ladies, among which the majority of the goddesses are the protection gods of XX, such as the protector of travelers, the protector of nobles, the protector of thieves, etc., and the protector of prostitutes is in cats It only appeared in the later stages of the belief in God. This is mainly because most prostitutes at that time like to keep cats, so it is easy for some people to connect the two, and prostitutes also need faith to fill the emptiness in their hearts, so the prostitute’s belief in the late stage of the cat belief is almost Has become the main force of each cat church.
According to Leo, if the belief in cat gods disappears, other beliefs in names may also disappear. Only the belief in prostitutes will always exist, and now the simple altar altar in the middle of this small garden just verified Leo's speculation.
