The latest website: At this moment, Barbarisa's emotions are a bit complicated, although he already knew Leo's extraordinary side when they separated in Cape West Point Port, and it won't take long to judge Leo and Sylvia. He was able to create a career and fame in the Old Continent, but what he never imagined was that the time would be so much shorter than he expected. In less than a year, Leo and Sylvia had already become each other. Top of the list of important people that countries and powers need to pay attention to.
Not to mention the great reputation of Leo, who is recognized as the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge, the mere relationship between his wife, Lady Sylvia, with Queen Teresa and the Belmont family, is enough to arouse any concern. People in the old continent have paid attention to it, because the most important thing that has happened in the whole world recently is related to the Belmont family.
For ordinary people, they only know from the unusual movement in the churches and temples of the Justice Church all over the world that day, as well as the inexplicable coma of the senior clergy, but they do not know what happened, and They have no way to inquire, or even dare to inquire, because as long as they inquire about relevant information, they will be arrested by the Church of Justice and other Churches of True God who are closely related to the justice of the gods as heretics.
In just a few days, no less than 50,000 people from all over the world were sent to the prison of the Church Heresy Inquisition because of this curiosity. Those who are lucky will be released after a period of time, and those who are unlucky may be released. They will be imprisoned until death, so things related to the Justice Church have become the most taboo topic these days, not to mention ordinary people, even the princes and nobles of various countries, I am afraid that few people dare to use this as a chat. topic.
However, these are just for ordinary people. Special characters such as Barbarisa who have been canonized by the Church of True God are obviously not restricted, so he also learned some of the most important things through his relationship in the church and his eyes and ears. For example, the justice of the gods was injured this time, and the injury was not light, and it has fallen into dormancy. As for the reason for the justice of the gods, no one knows, but the rumors are related to the Belmont family.
If the Belmont family’s influence in the past was only in the Kingdom of Teresa and its surrounding areas, and it was only marked as a mysterious family with extraordinary power in the materials of the countries of the Old World, then now the Belmont family’s reputation And the hidden reputation has reached the level of the world's top family. Any piece of information about the Belmont family needs to cost ten times more than in the past to obtain it from certain intelligence channels.
It is for this reason that all people and families related to the Belmont family are also listed as the focus of attention. Sylvia, a special person who has the Belmont surname but is not a member of the Belmont family, is very special. Naturally, he gained extra attention, and Leo Dodd, his husband, also belongs to the center of the focus circle.
And those who gather information about Leo and Sylvia due to the Belmont family will soon find out that these two are definitely not as distant relatives of the Belmont family, and even in a certain way, they are more than Bell's. The Mount family deserves more attention, and Barbarisa has received some additional attention as a special person who has been with the two for a while.
Although most people who pay attention to Leo and the Sylvia couple will focus on Sylvia who is closely related to the Belmont family, especially if there is evidence that Sylvia is in the mysterious Belmont family during this time. In the castle, this means that Sylvia has an extraordinary position in the Belmont family, and it is likely that she also knows the reason for the justice of the gods.
But there are also some people who are unusual. They don't care about the things of the gods, but they care more about the other side. Therefore, in the eyes of these people, Leo deserves more attention than Sylvia, and Barbary. Sarah is one of them.
The influence of the academic city in the countries of the old and new continents cannot be measured by a standard unit. If you want to compare, then only the Church of True God can completely overpower it. This is still the Church of True God after the union of several churches. If it is only a single True God As for the church, even a huge church like the Righteous Church, with its churches spread all over the cities and villages in the Old Continent, cannot compare with the influence of the Academic City.
Although the academic city has such a great influence, few forces would think that the academic city can take advantage of these influences. This is mainly because there are many factions within the academic city, and all scholars are from all over the world. They have their own ideas and ideas, and their rational thinking and the comparison of gains and losses also drive them not to use their influence to do some very excessive things.
But now, the situation is different, because the appearance of Leo, the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge recognized by the academic city from professors and scholars to ordinary students, has made the academic academic who had no great cohesion and was like scattered sand. The city began to show signs of condensing into a formal force. This was only a matter of time before Leo came to the academic city. If Leo continued to stay in the academic city, it would not take a few months. The city may complete a transformation and become a powerful force with internal cohesion and ideological unity.
It is precisely because Leo can control an extremely influential force like the Academic City at any time, so those who are interested will naturally pay special attention to Leo's whereabouts. From the day Leo left the Academic City and went to the Middle Kingdom area, almost Every moment, someone gathered information about Leo's whereabouts and the special affairs that happened to him along the way, edited it into a file, and put it on the desks of those who care.
Barbarisa is also one of the people who have a heart, so he was able to find Leo and meet Leo as soon as he entered his territory.
"Your Excellency Barbarisa, wait for me in advance, what's the matter?" After Barbarisa explained why he waited here in advance, Leo did not show much surprise, but asked very directly. road.
In the face of Leo's inquiry, Barbarisa did not greet him politely, and replied directly: "There is indeed something I want to ask for your help."
Lei Ou said solemnly: "Tell me, as long as it doesn't affect my affairs and your affairs are attractive enough, I may be able to provide you with a little help."
Barbarisa was silent for a while, as if he was preparing to speak. After a while, he said slowly: "I want to ask your Excellency to investigate a matter secretly. This matter is why I was canonized and became a saint?"
Leo questioned: "Isn't it because of your achievements in the Middle Kingdom?"
Barbarisa shook his head and said: "Although my merits are great, they are only relative to the country where I am. For this world, my merits are too small, and there is no canonization at all. qualifications."
Leo showed interest and asked, "Since it's not because of merit, what's the reason for your canonization?"
"This is also what I want to know." Barbarisa said with some doubts, "However, I guess it should be related to my bloodline and background, and it should also be related to the situation in the Middle Kingdom."
"Is there anything special about your bloodline and background?" Leo questioned.
Barbarisa said solemnly: "I don't know this either. This is also one of the things that you need to investigate, the origin of my father's family."
Speaking, he briefly introduced his situation. For example, he was born and raised in his mother's family, and his surname was also the surname of his mother's family, and his mother's family was not a big noble family, so he felt that the problem was It should be on his father's one.
Leo still asked with a puzzled look: "Have you never considered investigating this matter before? Why do you suddenly want to investigate now?"
"Because I didn't feel the sense of crisis before, but now I feel it." Barbarisa said gloomily.
"Just because of the feeling?" Leo frowned and whispered.
"It's not just a feeling, there is also some evidence." Barbarisa hesitated a little, and said, "You should know that there has been a big scandal among my men recently, right?"
"It's the steward who absconded with the money," Leo said.
"Yes, it's him." Barbarisa nodded and said, "I'm pretty sure that Shonard guy will never do such a thing. Shonard is the steward."
"Why are you so sure?" Leo asked back.
"Because he is my spy used to collect intelligence from various countries in the Middle Kingdom, any spy who performs such a task will undergo the most severe test of loyalty, and will never betray me, let alone make money to abscond. It's a matter of course." Barbarisa was silent for a moment, then continued: "I suspect he is dead."
Leo thought for a while and asked, "What is the mission of that spy, is it easy to say?"
Barbarisa hesitated for a moment, then said, "I asked him to investigate the forbidden legends in the Middle Kingdom."
"Forbidden legend?" Leo was stunned, not understanding why Barbarisa would let his important spies investigate this kind of thing.
Forbidden legends, let alone the Middle Kingdom, there are all kinds of forbidden legends all over the world, and the structure of such forbidden legends is similar. , will be swallowed or killed and so on.
Perhaps Leo's expression was too obvious, which made Barbarisa see Leo's thoughts at a glance, so he explained: "The taboo legend I want to investigate is not an ordinary taboo legend, it seems to involve falling in the center The of the beginning of the world in the kingdom area."
Leo was a little stunned after hearing this, because it was a coincidence that before he came to the Middle Kingdom, one of the things he decided to do was to investigate the God of Beginning in the Middle Kingdom.
Through the various church books he had read before, Leo knew that this world once had a primordial god, and this primordial suddenly fell in the Middle Kingdom area for unknown reasons, and other gods also appeared in this one after another. In the world, almost most of the church books mention that the true God of their church comes from the original God.
However, what is interesting is that the records of the primordial gods in various churches are very small, and they are fragmented, hidden in inconspicuous corners of various classics. There was once a primordial god.
The reason why Leo wanted to investigate the God of Beginning was because the spar that could cause the Stone Throne reaction was produced in the Middle Kingdom and not elsewhere, so he suspected that the spar came from the God of Beginning, and the God of Beginning Perhaps it is inextricably linked with the Stone Throne.
"What benefits can I get." After finding that the matters that need to be investigated overlap and will not cause other troubles, Leo naturally agreed to the other party's request, but at the same time he also bargained very seriously.
"I know that your Excellency came to the Middle Kingdom region to acquire a crystal," Barbarisa said solemnly, "I can help you acquire it."
Leo thought about it for a while and said, "If that's the case, then the acquisition of crystals is up to you."
Seeing Leo agree, Barbarisa's always serious expression relaxed.
Leo followed and asked: "If I start an investigation, where should I start?"
"I don't know that, because I haven't found a clue for so many years." Barbarisa shrugged regretfully, and said, "I'll send someone to send the information I've collected over the years to the You can send it here, you can refer to it."
Seeing what Barbarisa said, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Leo didn't ask any further questions, because he could see that Barbarisa really didn't know much about his own father's footing, so he didn't have much expectations for Barbarisa's information.
Seeing that things have been negotiated, Barbarisa has no idea of continuing to stay. After all, there are too many things on his hands now, and each of them is related to him and his territory. However, after he left Leo for rent When he was in the room, he specially handed Leo a token with his family crest. This token could help Leo to move freely on the streets of the Middle Kingdom, including some special restricted areas.
Not long after Barbarisa left, Leo also left the hotel, collecting information that might be useful on the streets of the town, and when he returned to the hotel, another uninvited guest was waiting for him here.
"Hello, Mr. Leo Dodd." I saw an elderly clergyman wearing an old robe standing in front of Leo, and said solemnly after bowing respectfully to Leo.
Leo looked at the other party's robe and tried to identify which church the other party belonged to from the decorations on the robe, but it turned out that the other party's robe did not have any religious symbols or badges related to this world church, which made Lei Ou couldn't help but feel suspicious.
