Regardless of the reason why there is no piezo interference device inside the Government House of the French Empire, it is a good thing for Leo now. He has easily mastered the position and movement of everyone in each mansion through the spiritual network. , Which allows him to walk around in the Governor’s Mansion as if he were visiting the self-driving garden.
This mansion of the Governor’s Mansion is very large. There are more than 3,000 houses in the main building alone. This is not counting the secret rooms. If the rooms of the secret room and the auxiliary building are added, the total number of rooms will exceed 5,000.
Because of the banquets, most of the people in the mansion were concentrated in the banquet hall and lounge lights. As for other guest rooms and bedrooms, except for a small number of others, the others were vacant, and the governor's mansion guard patrolled the corridor.
Although the guard patrol route is perfectly arranged, almost every aisle can be guarded by one or two guards at any time, but people are not machines after all, it is impossible to cooperate so seamlessly, they always patrol because of some self or others. dislocation.
Leo found the loopholes on these patrol routes easily, and quickly searched the mansion for some useful clues.
Earlier, the elegant lady believer Leo found walked into the mansion after entering the mansion, carrying various cakes and wine from the maid and walking towards the mansion.
On the way, he met many people, including the servants of the Governor's Palace and some guests. These people seem to know him. The servants will salute very respectfully, and the guests will nod and greet him actively, depending on the situation. The status of the Governor's Mansion should not be low.
Leo followed the servant, avoiding the guard in the aisle, and went all the way to the governor's study.
Compared with other important rooms in the Governor’s Palace, this study is obviously much smaller, and half of the area is used as a showroom to display the merits and trophy collected by the Governor-General in the past wars. The style of the study shows that the Governor appointed by the French Empire is a traditional knight aristocrat with a long tradition, and is also an hawk noble.
After entering the study, the servant put the plate in his hand on the table, took out the wine glass, got a glass of wine, and then stood quietly by the door, as if waiting for something.
After about ten minutes, a bookcase next to the window suddenly opened automatically, and a young man in gorgeous clothes came out of the back room of the bookcase. The look on his face was very tired, and his eyebrows were locked, as if by something. Things are bothering me.
At the moment, Leo, who was outside the study, seemed to be a little surprised by the appearance of this young man, or more correctly, a secret room in the study. In his scan of the spiritual network, the study room is very common, there is no such place as a secret room, and the thickness of the walls around the study room is impossible to have facilities such as passages.
Even more weird is that even if the young man came out of the secret room behind the bookcase in Leo’s mental network perception, he still could not find the existence of the secret room. In his spiritual network feedback information, it was only one. It’s just an ordinary wall.
"Elegant lady's dressing room!" This scene made Leo quickly find a reasonable explanation from the knowledge of the net weaver.
Although theoretically opening half planes is an ability that every should have, in reality, there are very few gods who are able to open half planes alone, and gods who can freely open half planes are rare. , And the elegant lady happens to be one of them.
When the faith of the elegant lady is most prevalent, the elegant lady church will give some gods and wonders with prestige, merit and contribution to the devoted believers, and among them there is a and wonders called the lady's dressing room.
The role of this and singular object is to create a half-plane secret room, and only the owner of the singular object can freely enter and exit the secret room. Others can not only use it, but they can't even see it.
Although the number of such half-plane strange objects is not large, but there are also many. According to the knowledge of the web weaver, the elegant lady church has sent six in the name, and how many are secretly sent is still an unknown number.
However, one thing is certain, all the people who get the elegant lady's dressing room are devout believers of the elegant lady church, and also the absolute high-level inside the church, and only the devout devotees of the elegant lady can use this deity. This is different from the wizard's wonder.
Now seeing the appearance of the elegant lady's dressing room, Leo determined at least two things. One thing is that this young man is definitely a devout believer of the elegant lady, just don't know if he is the target he is looking for. The second thing is to make sure that the elegant lady really exists and is still alive and well, because this kind of wonder, especially the half-plane wonder needs the grace of the elegant lady to be able to support its existence, otherwise, this Wonders are just like waste products.
The young man was not surprised that the servant would appear in the study. He walked directly to the desk and sipped the quilt from the quilt. Then he reached for the towel from the servant and wiped the sweat on his forehead. A piece of pastry was thrown into the mouth, and then asked: "Have those little guys already fed?"
"It's already fed, young master." The servant replied.
The young man sat casually on the edge of the desk, while eating, and asked: "What happened in the city recently?"
The servant took a small book out of his arms and said, "Sir George's goods have been lost. He is very annoyed. He has been at the police station for the past two days."
"Sir George's goods, you are talking about the batch of materials shipped from Mosang." The young man frowned and asked.
"Yes." The servant nodded.
The young man sneered and said, "You will go to the police station later and tell the Director Albert that there is no need to manage this matter. The empire has clearly banned the smuggling of slaves, and he will commit crimes even if he does. It is useless to have an academy behind."
The servant worried: "If we do this, we and the Academy of Sciences..."
"Don't pay attention to them, a group of blasphemers, they will regret what they do sooner or later." The youth seemed to be very hostile to the Imperial Academy of Sciences, and there was a very obvious contempt in his face and tone of voice.
The servant did not answer the young man's words. Although he thought the same as the young man, he would not speak out and ask for trouble.
Later, the servant continued to introduce the youth to what happened in the city recently, saying: "The Manatee caught a giant squid, which is said to be longer than a small fearless ship."
"The General Chamber of Commerce has decided to print another 50 million Wienerayas and put them on the market to meet the amount of money needed by businesses in the recent period."
"The great plague broke out in Miria City, and the number of deaths has reached 3,000, and it is still increasing rapidly. Now Miria City has been completely banned, and no one needs to enter or exit."
"The antique shop of the Holy Blood Society was robbed not long ago. The Holy Blood Society is suspected to be insiders and is investigating..."
"Wait!" The youth suddenly stopped the servant, Shen Sheng asked: "You just said that the Holy Blood will be robbed?"
The servant corrected: "It is not the Holy Blood Society, it is the antique shop of the Holy Blood Society."
"It's all the same. It's all the same." The young man waved his hand, instructing the servant not to chew on the text, and then he asked the situation in detail.
The servant seemed to know that the young man was interested in this matter, so he had to finish his homework in advance. Except that Leo’s existence was weakened to be similar to that of an ordinary guest, the rest of the content was very close to the facts at that time.
"No," the young man shook his head in denial immediately after hearing it, saying: "Absolutely not by the people inside the Holy Blood."
"Why?" The servant froze.
Leo, who eavesdropped outside the study, also froze for a moment, and said: "Isn't he a robber?"
"Because it's too obvious." The youth habitually touched the short beard on his chin and said, "It's definitely not a stupid guy who has the courage to rob the Holy Blood Society. It must have been peeping for a long time. Need to think more, after hearing this, the first thought is insider committing crimes, so this possibility is the smallest."
At that moment, a servant suddenly came to the corridor outside the study. This man came outside the study, knocked on the door, and after getting permission, pushed the door to enter, and then said to the person inside: "Master, Rod Butler, just now someone gave this envelope to the guard at the door and said that there is important information to be given to Lord Butler."
Lord Butler frowned and took the envelope, waved his hand to signal that the servant could leave, then opened the envelope and looked at it. The look on his face became very serious, and then he handed the letter with the information. The young man also said: "Just before Duoli Ribbon led her men to the Holy Blood Society in person, it showed that the matter of the Antique Shop of the Holy Blood Society had nothing to do with them and was willing to cooperate with the Holy Blood Society to investigate this matter."
The young man looked at the contents of the letter and looked inexplicably, and said, "How did this matter cause Doris? Is she crazy? Without her business, she also put it up."
"I think Doris shouldn't be crazy. She must know something we don't know." Rod Butler looked serious, and Shen Sheng said: "She should have received the news. This matter may be a believer of the lady. Yes."
The youth immediately denied: "Impossible, there is no other lady believer in the city of Venaya except us and them."
"No, haven't you read the information I gave you the other day?" Rod Butler walked to the desk, took a copy from the stack of documents, and placed it in front of the young man. "These months There have been many thefts in the city of Venaya, and no murderer has been caught so far. I have visited the scene and found that it is likely that the believers who carried out these thefts were women believers who believed in thieves."
"Damn it!" The young man's face became so serious that he sat up from the chair and walked back and forth in the study, looking anxious and worried.
The youth is not worried about being involved in this matter. Although the Holy Blood will be very strong in the port of Vinaya, as a youth, even if he is involved, he will be fine. What really worried him was that if he was involved in this matter, it would probably expose some of his plans in the port of Vinaya. I am afraid that it will also affect some things that the empire is doing. In that case, his troubles may be It's big.
"Can you find out who did it?" the young man Shen Sheng asked.
"There is no clue." Rod Butler shook his head and said calmly: "Before, I tried to find out those who committed those thefts, but I found nothing, although I can feel that this person is walking around us. , But it is always one step behind."
The young man’s face became somber, and after thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice, "You go to the Holy Blood Church in person and you express your concern about this matter in the name of the Governor’s Mansion and tell the people of the Holy Blood Church , We are willing to assist them in their investigation."
Lord Butler hesitated a little and said, "Will it be too much to do this, and we seem to do this..."
The young man shook his head and said: "Instead of passively letting them find out something, it is better for us to cooperate actively. Even if we expose some of our things, as long as we do not involve the empire's plan, there will be no major problems."
"I'll do it now." Rod Butler responded and turned to leave.
"Wait." Suddenly the young man stopped Rhod Butler and asked, "Do you know what the Holy Blood will lose?"
"Three skull bowls." Lord Butler replied: "The three skull bowls that drive people crazy."
"What?" The youth's face changed suddenly after hearing it.
Lord Butler saw the problem from the youth's expression and asked with concern: "Is there any problem with these three skull bowls?"
"Of course, there is a problem, the problem is big." The young man smiled bitterly and said, "Just now someone sent a set of gifts, and that set of gifts is the three skull bowls."
Lord Butler opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while. He was silent for a while and asked, "If I guessed right, you should not know who gave this gift?"
An embarrassed expression appeared on the young man's face~EbookFREE.me~ He was irritated and glared at his housekeeper. Obviously, the housekeeper guessed it right. Other things.
"What now?" Rod Butler looked helplessly at his master, making his tone as calm as possible: "I remember you tried to buy these three skull bowls, but the Governor General does not allow it, This matter will not be lost. But there must be your records in that antique shop, so they should also find you." Then, he paused and asked tentatively: "You See if you give it back first..."
"No, the things sent into the Chamber of Secrets are mine, no matter what their origins are." The young man rejected the offer of the Rod Butler, and then thought about it, said: "You still follow my previous command, and the Holy Blood first I will contact you. This incident is by no means just an ordinary case. The person who did this may be conspiracy against the port of Vinaya, and it is aimed at all the forces of the port of Vinaya, since it has been involved. , We will take the initiative to find some useful things."
"Got it." Rod Butler heard the words, nodded, and turned and walked out of the study.
