After speculating that the designer of this canyon railway is most likely to be the king of the election, Saran Meyer, Leo soon thought that Saran would use the destruction of the canyon railway as a means to collapse the economy of the Savile Kingdom. There was a trap on this railway that was enough to destroy the entire railway in an instant. Then she only needed to use this trap to accomplish her purpose.
So for everyone who rides the Canyon Railway train, they are sitting on bombs that can explode at any time, and maybe they will be hit by the disaster at that time.
However, Leo, aware of this, calmed down again after cursing, because in his view, the railway was safe in a short time.
The reason for this judgment is because the timing is wrong. If Saran wants to destroy the Kingdom of Savile, then she can only rely on the Dailyat and Maris Kingdom.
Deliyat was not interested in Savill’s desert, and the majesty of the Queen clearly had a bad relationship with the Sarah, the king, and there was little possibility of cooperation between the two.
In this way, only the Kingdom of Maris can be her helping hand. Leo thought of the civil war in the Kingdom of Maris. He felt that there might be Saran leading behind in this civil war, and its purpose is probably to be here. Staged the drama of the king-selector and regained the rights of the Kingdom of Marais.
However, her plan Leo felt that it might be defeated, because with the return of the gods, the power of the church will inevitably return to the heyday. At that time, it is not possible to become a king-selector. There is no chance for the Kingdom of Rees to gain a foothold. After all, how can the church's way of doing things tolerate a witch standing on top of their heads, maybe the Hill King Church will launch another action to hunt the witch.
Just as Leo's head was contemplating, a loud whistle came from the direction of the locomotive. With a slight vibration, the train slowly drove away from the platform. Gradually increase the speed toward the next city station.
In the following days, the train went smoothly and stopped in sequence in four cities. Each city got a few new passengers. The three explorers got off in the city where they recently stopped. The old puppet master has not left the room since getting on the bus, and even the meal was sent to the room by the waiter.
Leo will let the first-class waiters arrive at the station to buy all the newspapers every time the train stops. From the news reported in these newspapers, the situation seems to be moving towards the worst situation that Leo expected.
The first is that the fog on the sea has not only weakened but is getting thicker and thicker, and it is still pushing towards the shore. Today, the fog is less than one hundred meters from the coast, and the fog is very strange. The fog wall is very straight to the sky. It reaches hundreds of meters. From a distance, it looks like a giant has built a giant wall for the Minsk continent.
In the face of this weird situation, some marine companies tried to send some old sailors who were familiar with the route to drive the sailboat and enter the fog to find the way. The result was never going back, even if they were going to the offshore islands close to the mainland. , As if there was a monster in the thick fog, devouring all those who dared to pass in.
In addition, extreme weather began to appear in various countries on the mainland of Minsk, such as extremely high temperatures in the south, and long periods of drought and rain, and several southern rivers have dried up to expose the river bed.
The north was caught in extreme cold. Snowstorms that should have appeared in the winter began to appear. All cities in the north were in trouble because they did not have time to store food, fuel and other winter materials. Queen Deliyat had to deploy a national army to transport all kinds of materials that resisted the cold.
As for the Kingdom of Savile, it has become a place raged by windstorms. Various tornadoes that occur once in a century are frequent in the desert. Several of them even appear in the center of the city, sweeping through several cities, causing countless construction damage and personnel. casualties.
On the train, Leo saw a tornado formed on the edge of the desert near the canyon yesterday, and moved slowly towards the canyon. Fortunately, the train quickly passed the section of the railway and was not swept by the tornado. The iron frame is hollow, weighed in succession, connected to each other and put into the rock, even the tornado can't be shaken.
It’s just that the natural disaster caused by the world’s change is not a particularly serious problem compared to human disasters. It seems that the three major countries on the Minsk continent, only Deliyat controlled by the Iron Queen, are very quiet. Even if there is a natural disaster in the north, there is still no Disrupt the order within the kingdom.
On the surface, the Kingdom of Savile is also very calm, but from the various reports in the newspapers on the affected cities, it can be seen that the internal conflicts in the Kingdom of Savill are full of enemies, and each city is an enemy to each other. Help, but gloating on the side, and even some can't wait to step on it.
And one thing is also worth noting, that is, the Church of the Lord of All Things begins to expand its influence through the extraordinary manifestation of the world’s change, and collects rights from the Savile nobles, one of which is a certain church. The clergyman proposed to the local council to abolish a few unreasonable tax items and restore the church's eleventh tax.
It is conceivable that in the near future Savile will inevitably have a fierce power struggle, and even civil war may break out.
As for the Kingdom of Marais where civil war has broken out, the war has not been stopped because of the disaster. Instead, both sides have invested more troops and manpower on each battlefield, and they have tried to completely solve the other in a short time.
Contrary to the secular rights struggle, the Hill Kings Church appeared very quiet at this time, without any movement, but sent some clergy to perform various prayer ceremonies, atonement ceremonies, etc. for the soldiers of both sides on the battlefield.
Leo feels very clever about the practice of the Church of the King of the Hill, because no matter who is the ultimate winner of the Kingdom of Marais, the influence of the church will not weaken, and may even strengthen, and the influence of the church has penetrated into the military of both sides. Among them, once the Church of Kings of the Hill begins to dabble in their secular rights for many years, then they will be unstoppable.
The obvious advantage of the Church of the King of the Hill is that Isaran Meyer’s wisdom cannot be seen. If the king-selector is really the controller of the civil war in the Kingdom of Marys, then she will definitely make a move.
"Leo." Just after Leo finished reading all the newspapers today and lying in the car to think about things, Sylvia once again used her power to pull Leo's consciousness into a garden illusion.
"How did you connect my consciousness and grasp the consciousness into the illusion?" Leo asked before seeing Sylvia appearing in front of him.
"Sorry, I..." Sylvia was stunned, thinking that Leo was extremely disgusted by her direct consciousness of La Leo into the illusion, so her face became a bit ugly, and she wanted to apologize to Leo.
But Leo interrupted Sylvia's words and said: "You misunderstood me, I want to know how to connect, and if there is something in the future, I can directly contact you."
"Ah?" Sylvia froze for a moment, seeing Leo didn't blame it, and immediately smiled on his face, then pointed to the king and queen around Leo's waist and said, "The things are there. , Just need to use your power to touch this, this, and this rune in turn, you can enter here, and then you can summon my consciousness from here."
Hearing Sylvia’s explanation, Leo couldn’t help but smile. He had always thought that Sylvia had left a mark or something on him, so he repeatedly and carefully looked up each one of himself. The place was never found, and I was shocked by the power of Sylvia. As a result, he didn't expect him to think about the wrong place completely. The other party didn't do anything on his body at all. He just added some extra things to help him overhaul the weapon. From the beginning, he thought the wrong way and did a few days of useless work.
Leo smiled self-deprecatingly, then ignored the matter and asked Sylvia: "How is your situation?"
"Are you talking about a family who is suddenly out of control? Or is it a thick fog on the sea?" Without much explanation, Sylvia knew what Leo was asking.
Leo nodded and said, "The world has changed. You have to be prepared."
"Is it the return of the deity you mentioned before?" Sylvia asked again.
"Yes." Leo replied and said solemnly: "And it may be not just the gods but also other things that come back."
"Other things?" Sylvia looked at Leo puzzled.
"Abyss, there are abyss." Leo gave a clear answer.
Although Sylvia has not seen the abyss, from the content Leo mentioned before and the things she encountered, she knows that the abyss is a very dangerous thing, although she also knows that the witch comes from the abyss, but This doesn't make her feel a little like the abyss.
"Is there any way to go back to the United Kingdom?" Sylvia asked slightly expectantly. Although Leo is also the first time to visit Minsk mainland according to his knowledge, he is not familiar with the situation here, but I don't know why, She always felt that Leo should have a way to return to the Weilun mainland.
"You can wait for the winter and take the continental ice bridge to the north." Leo said the answer without much thought.
Sylvia was stunned for a while, and the ice bridge soon sounded, and a smile appeared on her face.
"I ask you one thing," Leo suddenly asked at this time: "Did Saran Meyer participate in the civil war in the Kingdom of Marais?"
"I don't know this either." Sylvia shook her head slightly and said, "But I think she should be involved, because she has done something weird recently."
Afterwards, Sylvia told Leo carefully what Saran had done recently when the world was mutated, and Leo could not help but reveal an obvious look of surprise, then doubts appeared on his face again.
Saran’s recent actions summed up only two things. She secretly supported the Uprising Army and the Government Army with a large number of weapons and supplies. It seemed to be fanning the flames on both sides at the same time, wanting to fight this civil war more fiercely.
Obviously, this is not good for Saran, because no matter which side she secretly supports, the final victory is only a terrible victory. In that case, the last profitee may only be the church.
"Ah! That's what it is!" Leo thought of being suddenly awakened here and said with a deep voice: "It turns out that Saran Meyer's partner is neither an uprising army nor an intergovernmental government, and her partner is always a mountain from beginning to end. Church of King Yau."
"To be more specific." Sylvia didn't understand Leo's words.
So Leo carefully told Sylvia his various conjectures after seeing the newspaper on the train.
After listening to Sylvia, he froze for a while, and then said in disbelief: "How could she cooperate with the King of the Hill? She was a witch? At first, the Church of the King of the Hill first launched the Hunting Witch on the mainland of Minsk, They should be the enemy!"
"Yes, you see, even you smart people who have long been in contact with Saran Meyer think they are enemies and it is impossible to cooperate, so I will be sure that they have already cooperated because there is only such a The cooperation will not cause anyone to doubt, and I think the cooperation between the two was before Saran Meyer did not control the Kingdom of Maris."
Leo said something, crouched down, picked up a branch from the ground, drew a circle on the ground under his feet, wrote a few words of the Kingdom of Marais, and then drew four circles around him, I wrote about Saran, the Church of Kings of the Hill, the old nobles and the new nobles.
After writing these things, Leo wrote a number next to it. This number happened to be the time period when Saran led his men to drive out the army of Savile Kingdom and clean up the old noble forces of the Kingdom.
Leo Shensheng asked: "Who are the beneficiaries of this war?"
"Saran," Sylvia replied decisively.
Leo shook his head ~EbookFREE.me~ said: "Saran is only the beneficiary on the bright side, the beneficiaries in the secret are others, you think about who is the biggest beneficiary of the war except Saran people."
"The Church of the King of the Hill." Sylvia thought a little and said the answer, "The clergy of the Church of the King of the Hill gained great respect during the war, and the Church of the King of the Hill developed rapidly after the war. In that era of divine retreat, the strength of the church not only did not weaken, but expanded somewhat. This matter has aroused the concern of many churches."
Leo nodded and asked instructively: "If you think about it again, who is the biggest beneficiary of Saran's series of reforms?"
"The Church of the King of the Hill." Sylvia said: "The Church of the King of the Hill changed the doctrine and incorporated various industrial machinery into the doctrine. It also actively invested in various forging machinery factories. During the heyday of the Church of the King of the Hill, It almost controlled more than 80% of the factories in the Kingdom of Marais," she said, silently. "That period was when Saran was in power in the Kingdom of Marais."
"Now you compare the situation of the Kingdom of Marais with the situation of that year. The Uprising Army replaced the new nobleman of the year, and the Kingdom Army replaced the nobleman of the year." Leo said with a smile: "Don't you think it is repeating history? "
